Classes in kronach and lichtenfels move closer to the real thing

Classes in kronach and lichtenfels move closer to the real thing

The vocational schools in kronach and lichtenfels should not only work on a subject-specific project in class, but should also share information at eye level in a network, from the merchant to the mechanic to the logistician – in line with the concept of "industry 4".0" and of today’s everyday working life in modern operations. So they set up a real and a virtual production facility at their schools from scratch, with which they can fill substitutes into individual cans by machine.

Rain in rio buries brazil blogger

rain in rio buries brazil blogger

Nevertheless, we did not let the beach day in the morning spoil us. At first it started with light dripping – at the end the roads were generally under water. We saw this as a sign of mourning that we had to leave the state of maranhao: the flight to rio was about to depart.

In rio, however, the sun was waiting for us, so weather-wise it was definitely an improvement. Nevertheless we have to get used to our new accommodation first. We are now housed in a school – partly in classrooms, partly in the roof with fresh, flowing air. It was not easy to say goodbye to the dear people in the state of maranhao, but we are all sure that we will have a great time in rio.

Sport and school go hand in hand

When the phone rang one day at the dietl family's home, the amazement was enormous. A man's voice answered at the other end of the line. The gentleman introduced himself as an employee of spvgg greuther furth. It would be about jakob, the twelve-year-old son. The club had been watching him and asked him if he could come to the tryout, it sounded from the horer. The opportunity was tempting. "Why not??"Said christopher dietl to himself before he drove with his offspring from aub, the family's home, to furth, a hundred kilometers away. The first trial training was followed by a second and a third and then the first appearance in the further jersey as a result of a guest match permit. As time went on, furth's interest became more and more concrete. "Actually, we thought that furth would take the decision away from us," says christopher dietl: "by telling us that jakob's performance was not sufficient to be taken."But things turned out differently.

Jakob was so convincing that he was offered the chance to join the junior division of the bundesliga club. "At first, the joy was great," says christopher dietl, "but then my wife and i became thoughtful."The thoughts kept revolving around one question: how would jakob be able to combine soccer and school in the future?? Until now, he had played as an inside defender for the wurzburger FV, trained twice a week and played league games at weekends. In furth, the expulsion of the sixth-grader from wurzburg's deutschhausgymnasium was all the more severe because of the three training sessions alone. The journey there and back meant that two and a half hours were wasted each time.

Commitment and ideas were needed

With this praising comment district fire chief manfred lorenz acknowledged during the final manovercriticism the in all parts successful course of a show in the heart of the market community, observed together with his official sandor aladi. Active members of the fire department, the BRK rescue squad (including junior staff) and the first responder training unit gave an impressive demonstration of their readiness to act in an emergency.
Traditionally, a joint main event of the three aid organizations established in the parent municipality within the framework of the fire protection week forms the conclusion of the sonnefeld church festival weekend. According to the plans of commander dirk bauer, it was necessary to effectively fight a vegetation fire in the vicinity of the market town, which could only be reached via inadequate corridors. That's when the bieberbach local fire department came into play, pulling up behind a command vehicle from the parent municipality with a tractor-pulled and land-going portable fire engine trailer. Well over 150 interested residents – among them a conspicuous number of children and young people – watched the scenario, which was intentionally not marked by seriousness, at various locations in the center of the village around and in the area of the domanas, while the commandant explained the individual steps of the instructive demonstration in detail via a portable loudspeaker and deputy commandant norbert wurst led the operation. Using a portable TS-8/8 pump, the water was taken from the nearby school pond and piped in a several hundred meter long hose line to the new domanen parking lot. "Small local fire departments play to their advantage. There is a need for sporty manpower. You don't need a gym anymore, bauer commented on the actions step by step. In an emergency, a single firefighter can connect and lay up to 200 meters of hose line made of metal reels. Meanwhile, a work crew was busy setting up and filling portable water containers as a supply buffer.

"Then particularly well-equipped activists with breathing apparatuses come into action", was the answer, as spontaneous as it was expert.
