Julius August Christoph Zech (February 24, 1821 Stuttgart (Germany) − July 13, 1864 Berg) was a German astronomer and mathematician.
In 1849 he published a table of logarithms, as a result of which Zech logarithms for finite fields are named after him.
Zech is both a given name and a surname. Notable people with the name include:
Lindau (officially in German: Lindau (Bodensee)) is a major town and an island on the eastern side of Lake Constance (Bodensee in German). It is the capital of the Landkreis or rural district of Lindau in Swabia, Bavaria, and located near the borders of Austria (Vorarlberg) and Switzerland (St. Gallen and Thurgau). The coat of arms of Lindau town is a lime tree, referring to the supposed origin of the town's name (Linde means lime tree in German). The historic town of Lindau is located on an 0.68-square-kilometre (0.26 sq mi) island, which is connected with the mainland by a road-traffic bridge and a railway dam leading to Lindau station.
The first use of the name Lindau was documented in 882 by a monk from St. Gallen, stating that Adalbert (count of Raetia) had founded a nunnery on the island. However the remains of an early Roman settlement dating back to the 1st century have been found in the district of Aeschach.
In 1180, St. Stephan's church was founded. In 1224 the Franciscans founded a monastery on the island. In 1274/75 Lindau became an Imperial Free City under King Rudolf I. The terminology 'city' here means German Große Kreisstadt, which is an exception due to Lindau's rather small population of only c. 24454. In 1430, about 15 of Lindau's Jews were burned at the stake after being accused of murdering a Christian child. In 1528, Lindau accepted the Protestant Reformation. Lindau first followed the Tetrapolitan Confession, and then the Augsburg Confession. In 1655, after the Thirty Years' War, the first Lindauer Kinderfest (children's festival) was held, in memory of the war. This festival introduced by Lindau councillor Valentin Heider makes up an important part of the town's identity nowadays, too.
There's a voice inside our soul
Calling out so we don't fall
Nothing's lost that can't be found
Ain't a thing you can't get 'round
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
When your calm is broken too
And you don't know what to do
Hold your fire and look above
Take the flame don't put it out
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
Just believe in something new
We all have our part to do
Turn it into something special
And you'd still be standing strong
Hold your crown and carry on
Turn it into something special
When you know right from the start
Gonna play it from the heart
Take a chance and make things better
Leave the fears and doubts behind
Don't give in just keep on tryin'
Turn it into something special
Mmmmm. mmmmm... uuuuuu...
Turn it into something good
There's a chance you really could
Turn it into something special
When you see it's time to choose
Gonna find you'll never lose
Turn it into something special
Turn it into something new
We all have our part to do
take a chance and make it special
And you'd still be standing strong
Hold your crown and carry on
Turn it into something...
