But as soon as the horn goes and we start playing they realize that she's just another basketball player like everybody else out here."  Beeskow has made Hometown Life's All-Area team in both of the past two seasons. The 234 points she totaled as a junior was good enough to earn her third-team honors on our list It's unfortunate Beeskow couldn't see her career end with another All-MIAC-Red season on the girls side but the boys are happy to have her in the lineup She's been a starter since Day 1 and understands her role despite being the smallest player on the court most nights — something that was quite evident against the Chargers a school with almost 450 students and plenty of players standing well over 6-foot-2 "I was pretty excited when I found out she was joining our team," said senior captain Kyle Ohlsson who is arguably one of the five best players in the entire MIAC "And I knew we'd really need her this year She goes out there and does what she needs to do hits a couple of 3s and that's all we ask of her But being in the starting lineup proves she deserves to be out there And it's not like the Hawks are short on bodies "Part of me was shocked when I found out I'd be starting but part of me also knew that I had worked my hardest for it," said Beeskow who also plays volleyball and softball at HCA "Coach Ohlsson has told me all four years that he'd love to have me on his team When I'd go to their open gyms throughout the summer When I found out we weren't going to have a girls team I was a little sad but mostly excited because I'd get to play with them this season."  Beeskow said the obvious challenge for her is facing many players who are much stronger than her Sometimes she has to make an executive decision to move out of the way or risk getting bowled over by a 200-pound power forward attacking the basket she loves contributing and being one of her team's best players but it's still fun trying to see what I can do out there," the senior said I get to learn different kinds of things about the game that I've never learned before I get to have fun with new teammates and get to try my hardest It was sad not being able to have a girls team this year because I've known a lot of the girls I've played with for a long time but I was excited for a new opportunity to be able to play with the guys and learn the different aspects of their game."  Brandon Folsom covers high school sports in metro Detroit for Hometown Life. Follow him on Twitter @folsombrandonj. At the end of the Second World War, the Berlin coachbuilding company Friedrich Rometsch developed a new car using the chassis of a soon-to-be-junked VW Beetle. It turned out to be a stroke of design genius. It’s a subculture that is more likely to use the nickname Bug for Bugatti than for a VW Beetle, but the concours world has started to embrace the humble Volkswagen Type I. Of course, when you’re organizing a marquee event like the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance that features cars worth seven and eight figures you might want to select Beetles that aren’t quite so humble. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first VW Type I to be sold in the United States, and to commemorate the current New Beetle’s end of production, the Amelia Island car show created a special class for coachbuilt, custom bodied Beetles, with the Volkswagen sponsoring an award for the winner of that class. To set the Amelia Island Concours apart from other top concourses, the organizers typically honor a special class of cars each year that might seem like heresy to old-school vintage car enthusiasts, and Beetles got the nod for 2019. As Europe was rebuilding from the devastation of World War II, coachbuilders trying to reestablish their businesses didn’t have many choices when it came to picking a platform for their custom bodies. The Beetle was widely available, inexpensive, and mechanically robust, plus its flat, platform chassis easily accepted custom coachwork. Custom bodied Beetles proliferated in Germany in the 1950s. This year’s Amelia Island concours was the first time this many coachbuilt Beetles have been assembled in one place and it was also the first appearance in the United States for a number of the cars, including Ghia’s 1965 Karmann-Ghia Type 1 cabriolet coupe concept, owned by the Volkswagen Group. The Volkswagen of America Trophy for the Most Elegant Coachwork on a Volkswagen was awarded to the 1951 Rometsch Beeskow Coupe owned by the Grundmann Collection in Oldendorf, Germany. Rometsch’s designer, Johannes Beeskow, designed the car for his wife. Five of the twelve custom bodied Beetles on display at the show were Rometsch products. Your email address will not be published.

DPHL typically occurs following a period of prolonged cerebral hypo-oxygenation, and follows a biphasic course. An initial period of altered mental status is followed by a dramatic recovery, often to initial baseline. Then, typically 2–4 weeks later, neurocognitive deterioration recurs (1) a characteristic leukoencephalopathy can be detected on MRI which represents the diagnostic hallmark of DPHL A 51-year-old woman was found comatose and hypotonic in her home The patient was resuscitated and intubated on site and admitted to an external hospital because of suspected opiate intoxication (she was on a treatment of for chronic pain syndrome with fentanyl patches) did not show any effect on the patient's consciousness She had a past medical history of arterial hypertension A blood sample-laboratory analysis revealed rhabdomyolysis the patient developed acute kidney- and liver failure which led to immediate transfer to the intensive care unit of our hospital On neurological examination, the patient presented with coma, but did not show any focal neurologic impairment. An unenhanced computed tomography (CT) of the head showed almost symmetrical bilateral hypointensities of the globus pallidus (Figure 1) These changes were interpreted as of primarily hypoxic origin possibly caused by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning although there were no anamnestic indications supporting this assumption A spinal tap showed no pathological findings of the cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) the patient clinically improved and was cleared for extubation The neurological examination thereafter was discreet with no focal neurological deficits and her mental status returned to normal hypodense basal ganglia necrosis in unenhanced CT (arrows); Philips Ingenuity 5 mm MRI of the brain 3 weeks after hospitalization confirmed the bilateral lesions of the globus pallidus seen on CT, characterized by restricted diffusion and FLAIR-hyperintense signal changes (Figure 2) At this time no leukoencephalopathy could be detected These findings were again interpreted as of post hypoxic origin Bilateral basal ganglia necrosis with T2w hyperintense alterations (A) and hemoside deposits (B) These changes are diffusion-disturbed (C,D) Approximately 3 weeks after the initial event the patient developed progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms she attracted attention with odd behavior (e.g. urinating into the rubbish bin or other patients' beds) and phases of agitation the disturbance in behavior turned into a clinical picture dominated by reduced psychomotor activity and apathy a novel increase in muscle tone with generalized rigidity and spontaneous myoclonus was observed A follow-up MRI-scan of the brain 5 weeks after the initial event showed, in addition to the known changes of the basal ganglia, a symmetrical, extensive increased FLAIR-signal with correlating marked diffusion restrictions of the white matter, primarily in the fronto-parietal regions of both hemispheres (Figure 3) The cortex remained spared from these changes Neither the brain stem nor the cerebellum showed any pathological changes on MRI In conjunction with the clinical course the changes were diagnosed as DPHL Planar T2w hyperintense signal changes of the entire white matter (A) with diffusion restriction (B,C) 3 T Philips Ingenia Slightly T2w hyperintense signal changes of the white matter (A) without diffusion restriction (B,C) Atophy of the parenchyma with slightly wider inner CSF Overall there is a marked regression of the imaging findings is clinically represented by bizarre behavior faulty actions and psychomotor retardation progressing into mutism The second form resembles symptoms of parkinsonism These diagnoses have in common that they typically show diffusion restrictions which extend beyond the white matter into the cortical rim There is no documentation of a contrast enhancement in cases of DPHL in the literature and this was also not seen in our case. In cases where MR-spectroscopy was performed, investigated areas showed a low N-acetylaspartate peak, indicating neurons loss, an increased choline peak as a consequence of the demyelination process, and an increased lactate peak was also described in DPHL patients, suggesting a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism (5) the imaging findings most important for the diagnosis DPHL are the changes on T2 weighted and diffusion-weighted MR-images DPHL is a rare and probably underrecognized form of prolonged hypoxia progression and combination of the characteristic biphasic clinical course with bilateral MRI signal changes limited to the white matter are considered pathognomonic it might be overlooked by the unaware clinician To evaluate the course and impact of DPHL further studies following patient's clinical development and imaging features after hypoxic events might be warranted The written informed consent of the Patient is available All authors listed have made a substantial direct and intellectual contribution to the work The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest Delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy: a case series and review of the literature Delayed leukoencephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide intoxication Delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide intoxication–long-term prognosis and correlation of clinical manifestations and neuroimages Delayed encephalopathy of acute carbon monoxide intoxication: diffusivity of cerebral white matter lesions The syndrome of delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy Neurorehabilitation (2010) 26:65–72 PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar Delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy following a morphine overdose Delayed neurologic sequelae in carbon monoxide intoxication PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar Reversible delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar Keywords: delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy Hoffmann K-T and Lobsien D (2018) Delayed Post-hypoxic Leukoencephalopathy (DPHL)—An Uncommon Variant of Hypoxic Brain Damage in Adults Received: 11 April 2018; Accepted: 06 August 2018; Published: 27 August 2018 Copyright © 2018 Beeskow, Oberstadt, Saur, Hoffmann and Lobsien.

Some are taking over programs with solid reputations. Other seek to build good reputations. A look at the new coaches — and how they did in their debuts. Marcus Harris isn't a teacher. He is a football coach, in his first season at Breck School in Golden Valley. "I am always in teaching mode," Harris said. "Coaching is where I get to teach. I love teaching. I have always wanted to be an influence in some way as a teacher." His influence is on the rise now that he's a head coach after 14 seasons as an assistant, and he's part of a big crowd. He and 10 others have just begun their first seasons as head football coach at Twin Cities schools. "Wow. A lot of new coaches," Harris said. Brad Beeskow at Forest Lake; Andre Creighton at St. Paul Harding/Humboldt; Dave Frisell at Belle Plaine; Justin McDonald at North St. Paul; Sean Peterson at Delano; Ernest Sutton at Minneapolis South; Samuel Thompson at St. Agnes; Pete Usset at Apple Valley; Steve Walsh at Cretin-Derham Hall; and Ryan Wood at Academy Force. Beeskow is at the helm of a program whose victories have been few and far between. Forest Lake is 14-86 over the past 11 years, including four consecutive 0-8 seasons. "I don't care about past records," Beeskow said. "Our first objective is to teach the kids and talk to them about what it takes to win." His players obviously listened. The Rangers knocked off St. Michael-Albertville, then No. 7 in the Metro Top 10, 35-20 in their season opener. That came one year after the Knights defeated the Rangers 42-6. "They were excited, and so was everybody in town," Beeskow said. "The environment was amazing." Beeskow strives to bring enthusiasm to the program. "I am very proud to be at Forest Lake," he said. "I have a passion for the game and I'm full of energy. I want our energy focused on positivity." A graduate of Andover, he knew what he was going to do offensively, having served as Holy Angels' offensive coordinator the previous three seasons. Defense was a different matter. "I had an idea what we wanted to do defensively," Beeskow said. "I need to find somebody to run our defense first of all." Offense and defense both sufficed in the season opener. "Our first game couldn't have gone better, but at the same time we have a lot to work on," Beeskow said. "We want the kids to keep building confidence and believe in our system. We aren't building the program just for this year. We are building it for the long run." New coaches tend to inherit struggling programs with low participation numbers. Harris is in that group. "We took 24 kids to our first game, and that is not a lot," Harris said of the Class 3A school. "Our best 11 have to be on the field, and you are going to play both ways. I believe in playing kids in to be challenged as well as have success." He sees a brighter future for the Mustangs, who have only seven seniors on the roster. He has 32 juniors and sophomores. "Those are big classes for us," Harris said. "I don't want to be in a position to put a kid in who isn't ready. I want them to be able to contribute." That brings Harris back to educating. He packs experience and success behind the lessons he teaches. A Brooklyn Center graduate, he was a wide receiver at the University of Wyoming, winning the 1996 Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top player at the position. "These young men are not out on the field trying to make mistakes," Harris said. "They are trying hard and doing their best. We're trying to teach them and help them learn. At the end of the day, I am trying to make better young men."

Howie Johnson, Forest Lake’s superbly physical junior defensive lineman, stood at about the 20-yard line at one end of the Rangers’ home football field, beaming at the throng around him. Sweat dripped from his strawberry blonde crew cut, a permanent smile plastered across his face. A rough and rugged 6-4, 260-pound, nearly unblockable beast in the middle of the Forest Lake defense, Johnson has committed to take his myriad skills to the Gophers upon graduation. But that’s still two years away. For now, Johnson’s gridiron satisfaction comes from being the biggest, baddest dude on the field in high school. He was exactly that Friday, leading a punishing Forest Lake defense that stonewalled Class 6A No. 5 Eagan all night, winning a 7-0 decision that didn’t earn any points for style but was a thing of beauty to Johnson and his teammates. “We only had one thing to focus on tonight, and that was shut down the run. And we did that to perfection,” said Johnson, who had two tackles for loss and left a litany of bodies in his wake all game. The game didn’t go exactly as Forest Lake coach Brad Beeskow had envisioned, but he was thrilled with the result. The Rangers (5-2) took the lead early, going 65 yards in 11 plays on their opening drive. Running back Kevin Ndirangu capped the march with a 1-yard dive, and Forest Lake led 7-0 with less than five minutes elapsed. And that was it for the scoring. The rest of the evening belonged to the Forest Lake defense that Johnson presided over like a proud papa. Johnson and his football future get the publicity, and Beeskow believes he deserves every bit. “He’s special, absolutely,” Beeskow said. “Just to have a kid like him that can go make plays over and over and over but at the same time is so into the details and the technique and what football has to be.” Eagan coach Nick Johnson was philosophical about the loss. The Wildcats (4-3) suffered a major disappointment during the game when an inadvertent whistle by an official negated a 39-yard touchdown, but he was proud of the fight his team showed and considered the game a lesson learned. “The official apologized, but what can you do?” Johnson said. “Early in the season, our offense was playing well and the defense was struggling a little. Tonight, I thought our defense was great and the offense had trouble getting going. But we’ve still got some time to put it all together.” Forest Lake took its fourth straight victory, a streak Beeskow credits to the Rangers’ blue-collar style. “We’re built on what we call the work culture. The only thing you control out here on the field and in your life is how hard you work at everything that you do. These guys buy in to that.” Jim Paulsen is a high school sports reporter for the Star Tribune.  High Schools has a state-high 40 goals in seven games for St The Raiders have lost only once and will have a chance to avenge that one this week Minnesota high school scores and results for all sports from around the state By on February 3 2021Comments Off on Silverbean appoints Vice President to spearhead US launch Leading affiliate and partner marketing agency, Silverbean has announced its expansion into the US with the appointment of Sarah Beeskow Blay to the newly created role of Vice President North America has been promoted to Global Associate Director leading on the brand’s unique delivery model for global clients The launch is part of the agency’s global expansion strategy and comes after Silverbean CEO recognised the growing demand from ecommerce brands in the US looking to expand their business into the Europe and APAC regions Silverbean which already has offices in the UK and Australia will provide US brands with the high performance services to enable them to have cost effective growth strategies into these territories has extensive experience in the affiliate marketing sector with previous leadership roles at Awin Global and ShareASale She will focus on building the agency’s business in the well-established US and Canadian market as well as helping to hire the right talent and delivering an outstanding customer experience will work closely with Sarah and Silverbean’s associate director for Australia to ensure clients have an integrated approach for their global strategy and implementation.  Louise will also manage the client delivery teams and lead on recruiting affiliate marketers to the agency as part of plans to ‘attract the best talent across the US said: “Brands across the world are seeking growth in new global territories and Silverbean is fantastically placed to help them with their European and APAC affiliate partner strategies.  “I am delighted to welcome Sarah to our business she has an incredible reputation as an industry leader in the US and she will significantly enhance our capabilities as we begin to begin to work with more clients in North America.” Sarah said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the stellar team at Silverbean As global e-commerce continues to experience exponential growth we’re seeing increased demand from brands in North American with a desire to expand their reach to new regions I’m excited to be a part of the solution in providing these brands with an exceptional service option to further grow their marketing efforts She continued: “Silverbean is in a class of its own with established footing and unparalleled reach across Europe and APAC to help brands achieve their partnership marketing goals.” Source: Silverbean   , , , Silverbean appoints Vice President to spearhead US launch added by on February 3, 2021View all posts by newsroom → VW will celebrate both the final year of the current-gen Beetle as well as the 70th anninersary of the first Beetle sold in the U.S at the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance which will host a special class for Beetle models with custom coachwork The Beetle chassis was a popular choice for coachbuilders in Europe thanks to its popularity and affordability, creating a wide range of unique vehicles. Even VW themselves used it to produce different classic cars like the original Dune Buggy and the Karmann Ghia This will be the first time so many coachbuilt Beetle-based vehicles are gathered in the same place in front of the public in the US. Cars like the Karmann Ghia Type 1 concept and the 1951 Rometch Beeskow Coupe have been shipped from Germany specifically for the occasion. ”We’re delighted that the Amelia Island Concours chose to host a class for the Beetle with custom coachwork,” said Klaus Bischoff, Head of Volkswagen Design. “While everyone knows the humble Beetle, it’s less well-known that the Beetle platform was used by a number of coachbuilders in Europe to produce the amazing, unique vehicles on show this weekend.” “The Volkswagen with custom coachwork is the flipside of the Bug’s original American mission and message and thus the perfect fodder for an Amelia Concours special class,” said Bill Warner, Founder and Chairman of the event. “There are no artists in the GDR, all of them left … The GDR artists are just cheerleaders for the regime, they are simply arseholes,” said the artist Georg Baselitz in 1990 after the reunification of communist East Germany (GDR) with West Germany. This famous statement in the magazine Art was pretty much what the West German art establishment thought too, condemning East German artists to decades of obscurity. West Germans took over many of the top museum jobs in the former GDR, put the contem­porary collections in store and showed West German art instead. The paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and photographs commissioned by GDR authorities were also removed from public buildings, the parliament, town halls, universities, holiday camps and youth clubs. For a quarter of a century, 23,000 works from the states of Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were stored in a warehouse near Burg Beeskow 95km from Berlin, out of sight and under inadequate climatic conditions. It took until 2015 for a full inventory to begin to be made, and now the art has a new, temperature-controlled home in a converted school. “For the first time we can look after it properly,” says the archive’s director, Florentine Nadolni, “Most importantly, at last we can make it visible!” Werner Tübke's Portrait Gisela Schulz (1969) fetched €134,000 in May 2019 © Kunsthandel Lehr, VG Bild-Kunst Bonn 2019 A prominent collector of GDR art is the West German billionaire digital entrepreneur Hasso Plattner, who held an exhibition of it in 2017 in the Barberini palace in Potsdam and is setting up a museum for his collection in a nearby building, which is due to open in 2021. We are also aesthetically more eclectic and less doctrinaire today. Art does not have to establish its moral credentials as an opposition force anymore; abstract and conceptual art is good, but so is figuration, and the GDR, with its four rigorously traditional art academies, certainly knew how to produce good figurative painters. Willi Sitte's Comedians (1954-63) sold for €32,000 in 2006 Fifteen years ago, the post-unification New Leipzig painters such as Rauch enjoyed considerable success in the West, and now the ever-hungry market is ready to consume their more solidly communist predecessors such as Walter Tübke, Wolfgang Mattheuer and Bernhard Heisig. On 7 December, at Ketterer Kunst in Munich, a painting of 1978 by Mattheuer, The Fall of Icarus II, fetched $213,250 (including 25% buyer’s premium). It carried an estimate of $33,000. In his remarks at the opening of the Utopie und Untergang exhibition last year, the German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: “From the western German side, we have perhaps too often made the mistake in the past of looking at the art of East Germany from a political perspective only.” • The federally supported site www.bildatlas-ddr-kunst.de lists 20,400 GDR works of art from 1945-90 held

Commission against Germany for allegedly dumping illegal waste in Poland Poland’s Climate Minister Anna Moskwa said on Wednesday said the waste is being brought illegally and the complaint is a step toward taking Germany to the European Court of Justice, according to the Associated Press, Close to 35 tons of waste has been illegally moved to Poland by German companies and stored at seven sites and has not been removed despite several formal requests without specifying the sites’ locations or when the waste was stored; Warsaw had appealed “numerous times” to German federal and regional authorities without getting a response, Moskwa told reporters, adding that if the complaint to Brussels did not bear fruit Poland would take Germany to the EU Court of Justice ABC News is reporting that the German Environmental Ministry said it didn’t have the complaint and couldn’t comment substantially on it Spokesperson Christopher Stolzenberg said that illegal waste exports are something that the German government views with concern and wants to sharpen EU rules on state governments rather than the federal government are responsible for implementing the law – investigating and ordering the return of illegal exports Foreign waste stored in Poland has been an issue for years Polish companies sign contracts with foreign firms to neutralize the waste but in some cases just dump it at unauthorized sites eventually burning it to make room for more Poland’s problem with waste management The toxic fires have drawn public concern over the problem. Some of the 35 tons of waste in the complaint on Wednesday is also allegedly toxic. In 2021, Deutsche Welle reported that Poland has had a growing problem with the illegal dumping of waste from Germany At that time, Poland’s Environmental Ministry announced authorities had detected 30 locations where waste — largely soil mixed with rocks and construction materials — was illegally shipped from a German company located in Beeskow near the Polish border We have much bigger problems with our own waste we cannot deal with our 13 million tons a year Half a million [tons] from outside Poland is not an issue here,” said Piotr Barczak a board member of the NGO Zero Waste Poland The problem is that German companies can avoid the stricter more costly national waste management systems in their country and split their disposal costs in half by exporting to Poland On the receiving end, companies are happy to get paid to take care of the trash and even say they will recycle it when all they have is a plot of land and an excavator. Too often are there cases where a recycling permit is issued without verification of the necessary facilities, according to Earth.org.
