The Seahawks will make NFL history when they take part in the first regular season game of the league to be played in Germany on Sunday And it means that much more to a member of the Seahawks practice squad Aaron Donkor is a linebacker that may have played his college ball at Arkansas State but he's from Achern So it's history and a homecoming all in one for Donkor "It’s about everybody that is enjoying it and a part of this journey to bring football overseas and I hope that we inspire a person to follow this beautiful game of football.” He made his way to the Hawks via the NFL International Pathways program in 2021 He simply cannot wait for the opportunity to potentially hit the field in front of his home crowd but at the same time he's excited to be a host of sorts for his teammates “It’s a challenge to grow as a leader and a man To have your teammates and have their back when they are lost or in traffic have friends to come home to that you haven’t seen in a long time and be a light and be an inspiration I’m excited for this weekend for many reasons being a host means answering your teammates questions about Munich and Germany as a whole Most of which surround the best foods to eat I don’t what it’s called in English because I don’t think we have it here but around Easter we always eat Klösse (dumplings) with duck and some rotkohl (red cabbage) It always reminds me of coming together at home and I think it is pretty good.” this is an opportunity to grow the game further with passionate fans whose love of the NFL dates back to the NFL Europe days Germany has been at the forefront of American football and I think now that the Germany game is there so I’m excited for that" Donkor added Kickoff for the Seahawks and Buccaneers is set for 3:30 p.m historic game that means even more for trailblazing player on the Hawks Florent Muslija has shown no signs of frustration during the days of Freiburg's winter camp The attacking midfielder seems to be fully committed on the field while off it he offers a kind of relaxation although the personal ambitions with which the Kosovo representative player was transferred from Paderborg to Freiburg a year ago have not yet been realized Florent Muslija's first six months were considered a period of adaptation to the Bundesliga team Had ten substitute appearances and one assist The first step was expected in the current edition But the development is in opposite directions none of which were starts and no involvement in the goals The only occasion to start was at the beginning of December in the Cup match against Arminia Bielefeld He laid the foundation for an embarrassing 3:1 defeat by the third-tier team with a missed penalty in the 18th minute The fact that the goalkeeper of Arminia had to simply stop the shot made in the middle of the goal was the "icing on the cake" It's actually less dangerous than shooting in the wings But of course it had another impact on the fans I feel valued at the club and I feel very much at home in this team." The players in the positions where I can appear have played well There is a lot of difference in quality between Bundesliga 1 and Bundesliga 2,  especially in these positions I have to wait for my moment and then be ready" The fact that he has a similar profile to Vincenzo Grifo "It doesn't make sense for me to worry about what might happen in the next six months I want maximum success with Freiburg now and in the future" Taking advantage of the future opportunity that comes to him better than the past opportunity This site is controlled and managed by KOHA are protected by KOHA's copyright and KOHA retains the reserved rights for them Materials on this site may not be used for commercial purposes without the prior permission of KOHA is prohibited The use of materials from any website or other medium without the permission of the KOHA Group on behalf of all the units that make it up (Koha Ditore is a violation of copyright and of intellectual property according to the legal provisions in force All violators of these rights will face the law The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors Annex of the former Radio Prishtina (first floor) George Bush pn one of Europe’s most extensive paper packaging facilities has significantly advanced its production capabilities with a critical investment in Allstein’s advanced printing functions AIP manufactures high-quality paper sacks tailored to various needs The introduction of Allstein’s technology has enabled AIP to achieve high-speed printing utilizing eight colours in CI and an additional varnish in the subsequent inline-flexo unit Reflecting on four years since the installation in early 2020 - The HYDRO machine consistently prints at full speed of 500 m/min helping us meet our ambitious production goals Reiter also expresses satisfaction with the machine's reliability emphasizing its exceptional print quality even at high throughput The collaboration between AIP and Allstein has been flawless throughout the project phase from initial technical discussions to the machine’s installation and commissioning - Allstein’s Service & Support Team promptly and precisely addressed all inquiries The 24/7 support hotline has proven to be very practical Allstein is a leader in manufacturing flexographic printing machines it has positioned itself as a technology leader focusing on the European and North American markets The company has installed over 120 presses in more than 30 countries across five continents and testing of main components like side frames Allstein offers tailor-made flexographic printing machines the second-largest manufacturer of paper sacks in Europe specializes in producing various designs for various applications The company is heavily invested in research and development of new technologies in the paper packaging industry AIP’s German facility boasts a diverse product range The recent investment in advanced printing capabilities enables high-speed printing at over 500 m/min with eight colours and varnish AIP offers environmentally friendly water-based inks for more sustainable solutions Source: Advanced Industries Packaging (AIP) Stora Enso has completed the acquisition of the Finnish sawmill company Junnikkala Oy Mondi announces that following the start-up of its state-of-the-art paper machine at its Štětí mill.. a global leader in industrial packaging products and services Kimberly-Clark Corporation recently announced plans to invest over $2 billion over the next 5 years..

Transportation Siemens will also assume the entire energy costs for the aforementioned period we have consciously opted for the ‘life cycle model’,” Hermann is quoted in the press release “As we are breaking new ground in the conversion to climate-friendly drive technologies in local transport with the introduction of this new technology and consciously want to make companies responsible for this technology by drawing up contracts” The acquisition is also contractually specific and the communication refers to the “Netz-Ortenau model” will purchase the trains and thus become the owner of the vehicles Siemens as the manufacturer also guarantees permanent operational readiness via the maintenance contract The SFBW then places the vehicles at the disposal of the railroad company that operates the trains on a day-to-day basis for the duration of the transport contract The financing of the trains built at the Siemens plant in Krefeld in the amount of EUR 77 million is being provided by KfW IPEX-Bank and has a term of 28 years “The financing not only contributes to a direct reduction in CO2 emissions but also to the promotion of innovative and climate-friendly technologies in rail

need a bit more stable weather now with daytime temperatures around 20-22 degrees and no further rainfall," says berry producer Jörg Huber from Achern which in turn accelerated the growth of the plants we are starting the harvest about ten days earlier compared to other years which is quite advantageous for us - also due to the longer marketing window." Huber dedicates approximately one hectare to the covered cultivation of the two raspberry varieties Mapema and Kweli slightly darker early variety that is particularly popular in direct marketing starts producing about ten days later and is especially suitable for wholesale and retail "Our summer harvest usually lasts until mid-July this fits quite well: We notice that especially during our harvest gap the market is almost continuously saturated the imported goods increasingly disappear from the market while our autumn harvest then picks up speed It should not be forgotten that the number of raspberry producers has significantly decreased in recent years while the harvest volume has remained almost constant the appreciation for regional raspberries is still present." A portion of the yields is marketed by Huber through OGM Oberkirch and strawberries are also part of the product range of the Ortenau fruit farm Huber has been successfully cooperating with the Dutch breeding company Fresh Forward for several years "We cultivate several varieties from Fresh Forward and continue to conduct variety trials A variety that has developed very strongly in recent years is the Twist variety stable picking performance and uniform fruits the mid-early variety Aprica has established itself particularly well in wholesale," Huber concludes FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com a leading global manufacturer of stainless steel tubes and components expands its product portfolio with innovative aluminum hotform-ing technology (HFQ) for the production of complex and high-strength alumi-num components The fischer group is always exploring new processes in metal processing the combined forming and quenching process of aluminum sheets appeared to be of particular interest fischer has now successfully industrialized this innovative process for the production of complex and lightweight aluminum components High-strength 6000- and 7000-series aluminum alloys offer the opportunity for further weight reduction in the automotive industry or other users of aluminum sheets chassis components from these materials using conventional processes has only been possible to a limited extent With the industrial roll out of aluminum hot forming (HFQ) the fischer group now opens up new possibilities in the design and construction of complex and yet high-strength lightweight aluminum components The process is divided into three main process steps: The so-called solution annealing of the shaped blank at approx rapid forming and simultaneous quenching of the component in the forming tool followed by the artificial aging at approx 180°C to 200°C to achieve the final mechanical properties fischer has invested in a state-of-the-art production facility at its home base in Achern which makes it a one-stop provider for all relevant process steps from aluminum coil to the finished component Aluminum hotforming (HFQ) meets the demand for complex highly integrated geometries with large drawing depths intricate features and tight radii in a single forming operation and for 7000 alloys even Rm>560MPa are feasible The new line was successfully launched with its first mass production project in January 2022 fischer manufactures a total of 10 structural components for a new premium EV sedan A central component in this respect is the outer door ring and the sill and still achieves a total weight of less than 9kg This also includes additional reinforcement of the B-pillar and continuous reinforcement of the side sill as an additional measure for outstanding results in side impacts The technology provides the vehicle manufacturer with a unique combination of compact package To achieve high and reproducible process quality fischer has also introduced a unique system for the monitoring of parts Each components is allocated an individual serial number and can be tracked along the complete process chain with a so-called “Track&Trace” system All information relevant to each individual component such as holding times or even process temperatures This ensures that the required mechanical properties are guaranteed for each component resulting in the highest level of manufacturing quality family owned business with a global presence developed machines in his garage for the economical production of longitudinally welded stainless steel tubes and thereby laid the foundation for what is now a 50-year success story The production of stainless steel tubes as well as their further processing is still the core of the company group heating and household appliance industries are offered a complete range of services from bending the decision was made to enter the new business area of aluminum hotforming and a new state-of-the-art production facility was built for this purpose at the home base in the Baden town of Achern The fischer group is represented in eight countries around the world with a total of ten manufacturing sites and generated global sales of approximately 750 million euros in 2021 with over 2800 employees For more information please visit www.fischer-group.com I would

climate protection and greater comfort and convenience for passengers – regional rail transport on Network 8 (“Ortenau”) is rising to a new level on April 8 Today’s the day the first four battery-powered trains from Siemens Mobility begin regular service The official start was celebrated by an exclusive inaugural trip from Offenburg to Oberkirch and back Minister of Transport for the state of Baden-Württemberg “We are writing a new chapter in railway history with this opening trip,” commented Minister Hermann “Thanks to the battery hybrid drive of the Mireo Plus B trains operating in the Ortenau region as of today are more climate-friendly than those using diesel Baden-Württemberg is a pioneer with innovative train technology climate-friendly solutions wherever there are still no overhead power lines.” SWEG CEO Tobias Harms said: “SWEG not only stands for quality We are especially pleased to now be able to make these innovative trains available to our passengers and will be demonstrating our role as a reliable partner to both the state of Baden-Württemberg and Siemens Mobility.” said: “We are proud that our first fleet of Mireo Plus B battery trains is now going into passenger service We would like to thank the state of Baden-Württemberg and SWEG for their trust and confidence in our innovative and environmentally friendly technology we can make an active contribution to climate protection The introduction of these highly advanced trains which can operate up to 120 kilometers on battery power marks an important step towards a sustainable future.” The hybrid trains will initially be used on the routes from Offenburg to Bad Griesbach and from Offenburg to Hornberg They replace the diesel-powered Regio Shuttle RS1 Plans call for gradually extending hybrid service on other routes in the network In preparation for introducing the Siemens Mobility trains the network timetable was adjusted in mid-December 2023 have been running straight through from Offenburg via Hausach to Hornberg without requiring changes And passengers traveling to Freudenstadt usually have to change trains in Hausach since the battery trains can serve the Freudenstadt station on the regular schedule only when an additional switch connection has been installed there As a result of the timetable change in December 2023 passenger service has been improved by closing previous gaps in the schedule Trains now operate at least on an hourly basis on all routes from early morning to evening we are increasing the service frequency and providing higher capacity Passengers now have more comfortable and attractive options for changing trains and boarding – whether in the cities or country,” noted Minister of Transport Hermann Innovative train: the Siemens Mireo Plus B the Mireo Plus B battery-electric multiple-unit trains produce no emissions and are extremely quiet they can be used on routes with and without overhead power lines when they operate throughout the entire network and replace the diesel-powered Regio Shuttle they will slash consumption of diesel by around 1.8 million liters per year In battery operation and under real conditions the Mireo Plus B has a range of up to 120 kilometers Its batteries can be recharged from the overhead line and with braking energy includes two battery containers holding lithium-ion batteries with a long service life The trainsets have 120 seats and are equipped with a toilet air conditioning and spacious special use areas Manufacturer Siemens Mobility won Baden-Württemberg’s open-technology call for tenders for Network 8 with its Mireo Plus B design This led to Baden-Württemberg’s State Agency for Rail Vehicles (SFBW) ordering 27 Mireo Plus B two-car The trains will be serviced and maintained by Siemens Mobility for SWEG for about 30 years in the newly built rail maintenance depot in Offenburg that opened in June 2023 predictive maintenance of the trains is made possible by the use of the cloud-based Siemens Mobility Railigent X Suite application Thanks to advanced algorithms and data analytics train operations are optimised and potential disruptions are detected and handled before they lead to breakdowns This ensures 100 percent availability of the fleet The charging infrastructure for the new trains was installed by SWEG Schienenwege GmbH at the Achern and Biberach (Baden) train stations Following the timetable change made in mid-December 2023 Network 8 (“Ortenau”) includes the following routes: Offenburg – Hornberg/Freudenstadt; Offenburg – Bad Griesbach; Offenburg – Achern – Ottenhöfen; and Biberach (Baden) – Oberharmersbach-Riersbach the reactivated Hermann Hesse line between Calw and Renningen is planned to become part of the network as of 2025 Network 8 handles around two-and-a-half million train kilometers per year The state of Baden-Württemberg awarded operation of the network to SWEG until December 2038 Katie.Byrnes@siemens.com Siemens AG (Berlin
