In 1998 they reached the first title.
In 1999 they also won the league.
The first time they played for the Champions League, they only got one point against Spartak Moscow of Russia.
The second time they played there they reached the 3rd place in the group.
In the 1999/2000 season of the Champions League they won the Group D versus Galatasaray  Glasgow Rangers and AS Monaco.
After this success some key players left the club and also coach Ivica Osim.
Since 2005 Sturm has had financial problems.
Therefore Sturm was forced to play with young players.
Under Franco Foda this way was successful, and now Sturm is one of the top four teams in the league.
In 2010 they reached the third title and played in the qualification for the Champions League but lost in the play off round against BATE Borisov.
In the 2010-11 season Sturm Graz reached their third championship.
And 2017 they won the Cup.

L.A.S.K. Linz is a football club which plays in Linz, the capital of Upper Austria.
They are playing in the First League, the second division in Austrias league system.
The club was founded on 7 August 1899 as Athletiksportclub Siegfried, the football section was founded in February 1919.
The first match was on  4 May 1919 against Fußballverein Wels .
LASK lost 1:4.
Being the most successful section of the Athletiksportclub it was decided that the name of the club should be Linzer Athletik-Sport-Klub (Linzer ASK).
Till the occupation by Germany in 1938 they reached many titels in the Upper Austrian league.
In the 1938/39 season they were promoted to the  Gauliga XVII, which was then the highest class in Austrian football.
But they were relegated the same season.
After the Second World War LASK reached the title in Austrian highest class in the 1964/65 season.
The LASK was the first team which came not from Vienna to do so.
The same season they also won the Autrian Cup.
The next decades were partly successful but also by relegetions to the second division.
In 1997, due to public pressure, LASK Linz merged with city rivals FC Linz (formerly known as SK VOEST Linz) which, however, resulted in the cancellation of the latter.
Club name, colors, chairmen and members remained the same.
In the 2010/11 season they were relegated.
Today they are playing in Austrias First League, the second division in Austrian football.

F.C. Wacker Innsbruck is a football club which plays in Austria.
The club was founded in June 2002 after the insolvency of FC Tirol Innsbuck.
The fans think this club is  the successor but leagaly they are a new club.
The club started in the Regionalliga West (3 stage of Austrian football, this was possible because the club played together with WSG Wattens, a 3rd league club) and promoted within 2 seasons to the Bundesliga.
In the 2006/07 season they avoided relegetion only because of the insolvency of the GAK.
But the following season they were relegated to the 1st league(2nd stage of Austrian football).
2009 they won the championship again and promoted again to the Bundesliga.
Till 2014 they played in the Bundesliga.
2014 to 2018 they played in the 2nd league.
After one year in the Bundesliga (2018-19) they were relegated.
Since that year they play in the 2nd league.
The second team (FC Wacker Innsbruck Amateure) is playing in the Regionalliga Tirol (3rd level).

Grazer AK (or GAK) is a football club which plays in Austria.
it was founded in 1902.
The club was founded by a group of students led by medical student Georg August Wagner from Prague.
Due to this development the first football match in Austria with the FA rules took place in Graz.
1902 was the official start of the Grazer Athletik-Sport-Club.
The club reached the Styrian Championship in 1922, 1924 and between 1926 and 1933 and was Austrian Amateur Champion in 1929, 1932 and 1933.
One of the players of GAK was Rudi Hiden, who went to Wiener AC and became goalkeeper of the famous "Austrian Wunderteam".
1944 the matches were stopped due to the Second World War.
1946 the club begun again.
1951 it reached the highest class (Liga A) and, at the end of that season, the 6th position, which was the best of a club outside Vienna.
In the following years the Athletics were established in the first class.
1962 and 1968 they where runners-up in the cup-final.
Only because the league was reformed the club was relegated to the second division in 1974, but came back one year later.
1981 the Athletics gained first title as professional team when they won the Austrian cup, which also was the first title for a styrian team.
From 1990 to 1995 the club was in the second league.
They won the cup-title also in 2000, 2002 and were double winners in 2004.
2007 the club collapsed due to 15,2 mil.
€ debts.
They had to go to the third league where they went bankrupt again and had to interrupt playing in october 2012.
2013 they had to start over from the lowest (9th tier) league after being reestablished.
Since then the club (named GAC due legal grounds initially) won every championship.
For the Season 2017/18, they are in Landesliga Steiermark, 4th tier.
In the 2019/20 season they came back to professional football being promoted to the 2nd league.

Judge Joe Brown is an American television show.
It is a courtroom series, shown in first run syndication.
The judge, Joe Brown, decides who is telling the truth and who is lying.
Joe Brown is famous for being in charge of the trial of James Earl Ray, the man who assassinated, or killed, Martin Luther King.
Curt Stern  (August 30, 1902 – October 23, 1981) was a German-born American geneticist.
was a German-American geneticist  of Jewish descent.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, he studied zoology at the University of Berlin, receiving his PhD in 1923 at the age of 21.
He was selected for a fellowship to study at Columbia University, then the site of Thomas Hunt Morgan's famous drosophila fly room.
Stern accepted an appointment at the University of Berlin after his fellowship ended.
In 1931, he was the first to demonstrate crossover of homologous chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster, only weeks after Barbara McClintock and Harriet Creighton had done so with maize.
Stern eventually returned to the United States in 1932.
He became an American citizen in 1939.
From 1933 to 1947, he taught at the University of Rochester.
From 1947 until his retirement in 1970, he was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he had numerous doctoral students.
In 1936, he demonstrated that recombination can also take place in mitosis resulting in somatic mosaics, organisms that contain two or more genetically distinct types of tissues.
He later demonstrated that there were multiple genes on the Drosophila Y chromosome, and described the mechanism of dosage compensation.
During World War II, he led research for the American government on low dose radiation safety.
His laboratory group concluded that there is no "safe" threshold below which radiation is not harmful.
After the war his research focused on human genetics, pioneering in what is now known as gene regulation.
Although not a physician, he engaged in clinical work in human genetics.
In 1943 he began teaching a course in human genetics to medical students at the University of Rochester.
The first edition of Stern's pioneering textbook The Principles of human genetics was published in 1949.
Both his teaching and his textbook were instrumental in re-founding human genetics on a non-racist basis, in contrast with pre-war German and American traditions in the subject.
Stern was a signatory of the 1950 UNESCO statement The Race Question, a statement by leading scientists in many fields that questioned the validity and scientific foundations of racism.

Thomas Hunt Morgan (25 September 1866 – 4 December 1945) was an American geneticist and embryologist.
Morgan took his PhD at Johns Hopkins University in 1890, and researched embryology while at Bryn Mawr College.
After the rediscovery of Mendelian inheritance in 1900, Morgan switched his research to the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
In 1904, E.B. Wilson invited Morgan to join him at Columbia University.
This move freed Morgan to focus fully on experimental work.
In his famous Fly Room at Columbia,  Morgan was able to show that genes are carried on chromosomes and are the mechanical basis of heredity.
Morgan moved to California in 1928 to head the Division of Biology at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech).
Research was focused on genetics and evolution; experimental embryology; physiology; biophysics and biochemistry.
He was given the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933.
It was the first one given for genetics, for his discoveries concerning the role played by the chromosome in heredity.
The prize was not shared with the lab's main researcher, Alfred Sturtevant, a decision of the Nobel Committee which was certainly controversial.
Morgan's early work with Drosophila was on the associations known as 'coupling' and 'repulsion', discovered by English workers in 1909 and 1910 using the Sweet Pea.
These were, in reality, the same phenomenon, which was later called linkage.
Morgan's first papers dealt with the demonstration of sex linkage of the gene for white eyes in the fly, the male fly being heterogametic (XY).
During his distinguished career, Morgan wrote 22 books and 370 scientific papers, and, as a result of his work, Drosophila became the main 'model organism' in genetics.
The Division of Biology he started at the California Institute of Technology produced seven Nobel Prize winners.
American developmental biologists
Alfred Henry Sturtevant (November 21, 1891 – April 5, 1970) was an American geneticist.
Sturtevant made the first genetic map of a chromosome in 1913.
In his career he worked on the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster with Thomas Hunt Morgan.
Morgan was both a help and a hindrance to Sturtevant.
Morgan supported him through the early part of his career, but took much of the credit for the research.
Morgan's Nobel Prize in 1933 was not shared with Sturtevant, who was the lab's main researcher.
Later in his career, Sturtevant had another important relationship, this time with Theodosius Dobzhansky.
The research was into the genetics of natural populations of Drosophila.
This relationship, too, became uneasy, and they split up after a few years.
Sturtevant was one of the most outstanding genetics researchers not to get a Nobel Prize.
In 1967, Sturtevant received the National Medal of Science.

Hermann Joseph Muller, generally known as H. J. Muller, (21 December 1890 – 5 April 1967) was an American geneticist, educator, and Nobel Prize winner.
He was best known for his work on the physiological and genetic effects of radiation, as well as his outspoken political beliefs.
Muller frequently warned of the long-term dangers of radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions.
Muller's life was as extraordinary as could be imagined.
Born in New York City, he got his PhD at CalTech in Morgan's Drosophila fly lab.
He next worked at Rice University, and then spent twelve years at the University of Texas.
Then he moved to Berlin in 1932, then to Leningrad (St Petersburg), and then to Moscow.
In all these places he organised a genetics lab, and sometimes taught as well.
Then arose the scientific charlatan Lysenko, who saw to it that genuine genetics scientists came under the disapproval of Stalin.
Once again Muller moved, this time to Edinburgh, with 250 strains of Drosophila, then finally back to the United States in 1940, where he became an advisor to the Manhattan Project.
He became Professor of Zoology at Indiana University.
Muller's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1946 was "for the discovery that mutations can be induced by X-rays".
By then the real interest lay in the same effects caused by gamma rays from nuclear testing.
Muller was a wholehearted enthusiast for eugenics, socialism, atheism and other relatively unpopular ideas, but his real contribution was to genetics.
One reputable source writes of him:
"Muller's contributions dominate the 1920s and 1930s.
The variety of genetic tools he developed elevated Drosophila to an almost exclusive role in the study of the gene concept.
It is almost impossible to read Muller's articles during those two decades without feeling overwhelmed by the quality of genius which characterises the analytical and projective treatment of his discoveries and experiments".

Haiti (; ) is a country in the Caribbean.
It occupies the western three-eighths of Hispaniola; the Dominican Republic occupies the eastern five-eighths (63%) of the island.
The country has a total area of , of which 27,560 km² is land and 190 km² is water.
Haiti has  of coast-line and a  border with the Dominican Republic.
The limits of the country are the Dominican Republic to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north, and the Caribbean Sea to the south and west.
The capital, Port-au-Prince, is a seaport located on the west coast.
There are two large peninsulas: the Northwestern on the Atlantic Ocean, and the Southern peninsulas on the Caribbean Sea.
The Northwestern, or just Northern, Peninsula () is also known as the Saint-Nicolas Peninsula; it was the first part of the Hispaniola visited by Christopher Columbus on 1492.
The historical name of the Southern Peninsula () was Tiburón Peninsula.
Between those two large peninsulas there is a gulf (a very large bay): the Gulf of Gonâve.
It is named so after the Gonâve Island that is in the middle of the gulf.
It was called also Gulf of Léogane after the city of Léogane, one of the oldest in Haiti.
Haiti has a tropical climate but modified by elevation and the Trade winds (winds that come from the northeast, from the Atlantic Ocean, full of water vapour), which blow from the Atlantic all year long.
In low lands with mountains to the northeast, the climate is arid (dry) because the trade winds leave their water in those mountains rather than the valleys and plains.
There are two rainy seasons, in spring and fall to the south, and in spring and winter to the north.
There are several smaller islands and cays that are part of Haiti.
Gonâve (), in the Gulf of Gonâve; it is part of the Ouest Department.
It has an area of 743 km².
Tortuga (), located off the northwest coast of Hispaniola, in the Atlantic Ocean; it is part of the Nord-Ouest Department.
The island's name comes from the turtle-like shape of the island (in Spanish, turtle is a "tortuga").
It is part of the Sud Department and has an area of .
They are part of the Grand'Anse Department, and have a total area of .
The chains of mountains show a direction northwest-southeast, except in the Southern Peninsula, where they have a direction west-east.
The Plaine du Nord ("Northern Plain"), along the north coast from Cap-Haïtien to the Dominican Republic, where it is called the Cibao Valley.
The Massif du Nord ("Northern Massif"), which in the Dominican Republic is called Cordillera Central.
The highest Haitian mountain of this mountain range is Gros Morne (1,198 m).
The Plateau Central ("Central Plateau") is a large high valley.
All this chains form one group of mountains.
Artibonite Plain and Valley, between those mountains mentioned above and below.
It is the valley formed by the river Artibonite and its Haitian tributaries.
Chaîne des Matheux (Morne Delpech, 1,600 m) and the Montagnes du Trou d'Eau (Morne Ma Pipe, 1,510 m) form one group that get together with the previous group of mountains to form, in the Dominican Republic, the Sierra de Neiba.
The Cul-de-Sac (Haiti) or Hoya de Enriquillo (Dominican Republic), is a remarkable valley, with a west-east direction, of low elevation (on average 50 m with some points below sea level) and with the Êtang Saumatre lake in the eastern end, on the border with the Dominican Republic.
Port-au-Prince is on the western end of this valley.
The river Artibonite is the longest river of the island and of Haiti.
Its sources are in the Cordillera Central (Dominican Republic) and flows into the Gulf of Gonâve.
Its watershed has an area of 6,399 km² in Haiti and 2,614 km² in the Dominican Republic.
Another important Haitian river is the Trois Rivières (Three Rivers).
It is 150 km long and its sources are in the Massif du Nord and flows into the Atlantic Ocean, near the city of Po//
Others lakes are Étang de Miragoâne (25 km²), of fresh water at 4 km southeast from the city of Miragoâne; and Trou Caïman (16.2 km²), a small lake at 6 km from Étang Saumâtre.

Alice Ivers (February 17, 1851 – February 27, 1930), better known as Poker Alice, was a famous poker player.
Her family moved from Devon, England, where she was born, to Virginia, United States, where she went to school and was raised.
As an adult, Ivers moved to Leadville, Colorado where she met her husband Frank Duffield.
Duffield was responsible for getting Ivers interested in poker, but he was killed a few years after they got married.
Ivers made a name for herself by winning money from poker games in places like Silver City, New Mexico, and even working at a saloon that was owned by Bob Ford, the man who killed Jesse James
“Poker” Alice Ivers was born on February 17, 1851 in Devon, England to Irish Immigrants.
Her family moved to Virginia when Alice was 12.
As a young woman, she went to boarding school in Virginia to become a refined lady.
While in her late teens, her family moved to Leadville, a city in the Colorado Territory.
It was in Leadville that Alice met Frank Duffield, whom she married at a young age.
Frank Duffield was a mining engineer who played poker in his spare time.
After just a few years of marriage, Duffield was killed in an accident while resetting a dynamite charge in a Leadville mine.
Ivers was known for splurging her winnings, as when she won a lot of money in Silver City and spent it all in New York.
After all of her big wins, she would travel to New York and spend her money on clothes.
She was very keen on keeping up with the latest fashions and would buy dresses to wear to play poker.
Alice met her next husband around 1890 when she was a dealer in Bedrock Tom’s saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota.
When a drunken miner tried to attack her fellow dealer Warren G. Tubbs with a knife, Alice threatened him with her .38.
After this incident, Tubbs and Ivers started a romance and were married soon after.
Alice Ivers and Warren Tubbs had 4 sons and 3 daughters together.
Tubbs and Ivers did not want their children to be influenced by the world of poker, so they moved to a house just northeast of Sturgis on the Moreau River in South Dakota.
Tubbs was not only a dealer, but a housepainter as well.
It was most likely this house painting that caused him to fall sick with tuberculosis.
Warren Tubbs died in 1910 in of pneumonia during a blizzard.
To pay for his funeral, Alice had to pawn her wedding ring, which led her back to the poker world.
Alice’s third husband was George Huckert, who worked on her homestead taking care of the sheep.
Huckert was constantly proposing to Ivers, yet for a while she did not agree.
Eventually, however, Ivers owed Huckert $1,008, so she married him figuring that it would be cheaper than paying his back wages.
Huckert died in 1913.
Poker career
First husband Frank Duffield introduced Alice to poker when she accompanied him to his poker games in Leadville.
For a while she just attended, watching and observing, but eventually she started to play and gamble along with the men.
However, it wasn’t until after her first husband died that she started to play poker seriously.
Alice was in a tough financial position, and after failing in a few different jobs including teaching; she turned to poker to support herself financially.
Alice would make money by gambling and working as a dealer.
Ivers made a name for herself by winning money from poker games in places like Silver City, New Mexico, even working at a saloon that was owned by Bob Ford, the man who killed Jesse James.
By the time Ivers was given the name “Poker Alice,” she was drawing in large crowd to watch her play and men were constantly challenging her to play.
Saloon owners liked that Ivers was a respectable woman who kept to her values.
These values included her refusal to play poker on Sundays.
As her reputation grew, so did the amount of money she was making.
Some nights she would even make $6,000, an incredibly large sum of money at the time.
Alice claimed that she won $250,000, which would now be worth over three million dollars.
Ivers used her good looks to distract men at the poker table.
She always had the newest dresses, and even in her 50s was considered a very attractive woman.
She was also very good at counting cards and figuring odds, which helped her at the table.
Alice was known to always be carrying a gun with her, preferably her .38.
She was also known to smoke a lot.
Poker's Palace and jailtime
In 1910, Ivers opened “Poker’s Palace,” a saloon in Fort Meade, South Dakota, which offered gambling and liquor downstairs, and prostitution upstairs.
The saloon was always closed on Sundays, due to Iver’s religious beliefs.
However, in 1913, some drunken soldiers disobeyed Iver’s “no work on Sunday” rule and started to get unruly, chaotic, and destructive of the house.
It was then that Ivers shot her gun, supposedly to quiet the soldiers down.
The shot ended up killing one of the soldiers and injuring another, resulting in Iver’s arrest, along with the arrest of six of her ‘girls’.
Iver’s time spent in jail was short, but she got through it with the help of reading the bible and smoking cigars.
At the trial, she claimed self-defense and was acquitted.
After the trial, her saloon was shut down.
While in her 60s, Alice Ivers was arrested several times after the “Poker Palace” incident for being a madam, a gambler, and a bootlegger, as well as her drunkenness.
She would comply with the law and pay her fines, but keep her business still.
In 1928, she was arrested again for bootlegging and her repeated offenses of holding a brothel.
Despite this sentence to prison, Ivers did not end up having to stay, because she was pardoned by then Governor Bulow of South Dakota who did so because of her old age.
After being forced to retire by the anger of the military and other people who were upset with her blend of religious elements at her house in Sturgis, Alice’s health began to fail her.
Alice Ivers died on February 27, 1930 in Rapid City after a gallbladder operation at the age of 79.
Ivers was buried at the St. Aloysius Cemetery in Sturgis, South Dakota.

The pro-life movement, also called the anti-abortion movement, is a group of people who believe that human life begins at conception and that the life of unborn children should be protected.
People who believe this are sometimes called "pro-lifers".
Pro-lifers believe that life begins at the moment of conception.
They oppose abortion.
As abortion is an important political topic, they are sometimes called anti-choice by the pro-choice movement.
People who are pro-life believe that all humans, including the unborn, have a right to live.
They believe that having a human genome is enough for a developing organism to be called a living human being.
Others believe that an organism should be identified as a living human being once a heartbeat has been detected.
Pro-lifers think that abortion should be illegal.
Many pro-lifers think women who are pregnant and do not want to raise a child should look for alternatives to abortion such as adoption.
The pro-life movement is most associated with conservative politics.
In one poll in the United States, 66% of conservatives called themselves pro-life.
It is also associated with the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis has said that "Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord."
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a bias in thinking, usually where a person is unaware of how badly they grasp a subject, not understanding that they are failing at it.
They mistakenly think that they are doing as well as "average" or even "above average".
It is a psychological effect in which people don't realize their level of knowledge or ability in a subject.
People who know little about a subject will think that they know more than they actually know.
People of low ability may not have enough intelligence to fully grasp how complicated something can be, causing them to overestimate their knowledge or ability.
This can cause them to underestimate the intelligence of a high ability person who claims something is complicated when they falsely believe they understand it fully.
"The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".
In 2000, Dunning and Kruger were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in the field of psychology for their study.

A tic is a sudden body movement that a person can't control.
It might be a jerking movement of the hand, or blinking a lot, or a throat sound.
Even if the person is told that they are doing it, they usually can't stop.
Sometimes if they try really hard, they can make the tic go away for a little bit, but they can't make it go away all the time.
It's kind of like when you have something in your throat, eventually you just have to cough.
Tics can be either "motor tics" or "phonic tics."
If they are "motor tics" it means they're movements, like blinking or shrugging shoulders.
If they are "phonic tics" it means they're sounds, like clearing your throat, sniffing, or yelling.
Tics are common in childhood, four to twelve percent of all children have from tics.
Very often they are transitory, they rarely last longer than six months.
Boys have tics more often than girls.
About three times more boys than girls have tics.
Sometimes, people can have a "tic" in the family.
Some tics can be treated, usually with behaviour therapy.
In cases where the tic is difficult to treat, antipsychotics are sometimes used.
Boards of Canada (commonly abbreviated BoC) are a Scottish electronic music duo of two brothers Mike Sandison (born June 1, 1970) and Marcus Eoin (born July 21, 1971).
They are signed with Warp Records and have released several works on that label with little advertising and few interviews, while also having a secret, privately released back-catalogue of albums on their self-run Music70 label.
They have also recorded four tracks under the alias Hell Interface.
Boards of Canada's music is part like the warm, analog sounds of 1970s media and contains themes of childhood, nostalgia and the natural world.
Mike and Marcus have mentioned the documentary movies of the National movie Board of Canada, from which the group's name is derived, as a source of inspiration.
Early years (1986–1995)
Growing up in a musical family, brothers Mike and Marcus Eoin began playing instruments at a young age.
They experimented with recording uses at around the age of 10, using tape machines to layer cut-up samples of found sounds over compositions of their own.
In their teens they went in a number of amateur bands; however, it was not until 1986 when Marcus was invited to Mike's band that Boards of Canada was born.
By 1989, the band had gone down just to Sandison and Eoin.
In the early 1990s, a number of collaborations took place and the band put on small shows among the "Hexagon Sun" collective.
In early 2000, the website for the band, Music70.com, removed the early discography of Boards of Canada, although some information has been preserved by fans.
Early tape releases by Boards of Canada include Play By Numbers, Acid Memories, Hooper Bay, and the earliest known release by the band is titled Catalog 3.
None of the material from those days is readily available, and since official Boards of Canada sources deny the existence of these albums, there seems to be little chance for this early material ever to be seen publicly.

William Bateson (Yorkshire, 8 August 1861 – 8 February 1926) was a British zoologist, a Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge University.
He was the first person to use the term genetics to describe the study of heredity, and the chief populariser of the ideas of Gregor Mendel, after their rediscovery in 1900 by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns.
Bateson became famous as a mutationist who believed evolution took place by jumps.
Later, Ronald Fisher and J.B.S. Haldane showed that discrete mutations were compatible with gradual evolution: see the modern evolutionary synthesis.
Bateson was the first to suggest the word "genetics" to describe the study of inheritance, in a letter to Adam Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905.
Bateson first used the term "genetics" publicly at the Third International Conference on Plant Hybridization in London in 1906.
Although this was three years before Wilhelm Johannsen used the word "gene" to describe the units of hereditary information, De Vries had introduced the word "pangene" for the same concept already in 1889 and etymologically the word genetics finds its origin in Darwin's concept of pangenesis.
Bateson co-discovered genetic linkage with Reginald Punnett, and he and Punnett founded the Journal of Genetics in 1910.
Bateson also coined the term "epistasis" to describe the genetic interaction of two independent traits.
So important from 1900 to 1910, he was almost a bystander for the next ten years because he refused to accept the role chromosomes played in genetics.
At last, in 1921, a visit to T.H. Morgan's fly lab convinced him, but by then he could no longer recover his influence.
