The non-profit German Agricultural Society
conducts a variety of of different functions related to agriculture and food
One of them is operating a facility in Gross-Umstadt that acts as a European equivalent to the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab
It tests everything from lawnmowers to food products
and it issues different certifications and approvals that manufacturers happily use when promoting their products in Europe
Those approvals are generally highly sought after
according to DLG’s international media liaison officer
company develops a trait that it says provides genetic resistance to sclerotinia
One manufacturer to seek a DLG quality mark certification for its products recently was India-based tire manufacturer BKT
The company recently announced that its 600/70 R 30 and 710/70 R 42 AgrimaxFactor tractor tires were tested at the DLG lab in Gross-Umstadt and received a “DLG Approved” quality mark when it comes to what DLG describes as “resources protection.”
That included looking at the tires’ effects on field soil health and tractor fuel consumption
The tests were conducted in two different phases
the tires were mounted on a John Deere 6R 250 tractor
and their performance and effect on soil compaction in the field was evaluated
the tractor was placed on DLG’s dynamometer test stand and evaluated under simulated road transport work
The lab has a pretty sophisticated test stand that can simulate different power mix demands on a tractor
which allows for fuel consumption evaluations under a variety of simulated conditions
products such as tires are evaluated in comparison to others on the market
The AgrimaxFactor tires were compared against five competitor tires
soil was probed after the tires pulled a load across it
“At an inflation pressure of 0.6 bar (8.7 p.s.i.)
BKT AgrimaxFactor tires have the second largest contact area of all tested tires and a correspondingly low tire contact area pressure of 0.43 kg/cm² (6.1 p.s.i.),” the report reads
“The BKT AgrimaxFactor tires have achieved positive results in terms of tire contact area
The BKT AgrimaxFactor tires have the lowest measured ground pressure compared to their competitors
the BKT AgrimaxFactor tires have the second-smallest value
resulting in a lower degradation of the soil area.”
BKT tires recorded 1.7 per cent lower fuel consumption rate than the average
which was 17.4 litres per hectare (1.86 U.S
Fuel consumption in the transport tests was 0.3 per cent below the mean value of the reference tires
“The specifications and properties of the BKT AgrimaxFactor are comparable to those of tires with VF (Very High Flexion) technology,” said the report
the DLG-Approved test mark was awarded for the ‘Resources Protection’ testing module.”

Despite the Western sanctions imposed after Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, high-quality welding and thermal cutting equipment for metals continues to reach Russia from Europe via Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan — with the help of Lithuanian customs brokers, The Insider has discovered
The European Union banned the export of these technologies to Russia back in February 2023
Welding is a crucial method in industrial metal processing
and while China provides Russia with equipment for general use
Moscow’s military industry demands higher-quality machinery
Russia imported approximately $4 million worth of welding machines
and metal cutting machines from countries outside of the Eurasian Economic Union
Western equipment has continued to flow into Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion
with additional shipments routed through Turkey and Uzbekistan — and sometimes involving Lithuanian customs brokers
In 2023, Kazakhstan-based Design Bureau “Step” LLP (ТОО «Конструкторское Бюро “Step”»; led by Aibek Karibekovich Sherov) supplied Russia with a MULTITHERM 3600 plasma cutting machine manufactured by Messer Cutting
the firm has direct dealings with Messer Cutting Systems
which is based in the southwestern German city of Groß-Umstadt
The machine supports laser, plasma, and oxy-fuel cutting and features computer controls that enable positioning accuracy of under 1 mm and automatic cutter movement at speeds of up to 40 meters per minute
Kazakh company Toolsmart LLP (headed by Aida Rashidovna Naryshkina) exported Thermacut A-1447 nozzles from the Czech Republic to Russia
These components are designed for use in Messer Cutting systems
working with Lithuanian broker UAB MTL GROUP
facilitated the transfer of an OMNIMAT L 4500 thermal cutting machine from Messer Cutting Systems in Germany to Russia via Vilnius in November 2023
is designed for processing large metal components with computer-controlled torch movement
UAB MTL GROUP did not respond to a written inquiry from The Insider
answered a reporter’s call and suggested reaching out after the holidays
The Insider repeated the request in January but received no response
Electric cutting machines for RSV-4 pipes from the German firm Zinser first arrived in Kazakhstan and were then sent to Russia by Stroy Integral LLP (ТОО «Строй Интеграл»
where they were received by Volzhskaya Industrial Group LLC (ООО «Волжская промышленная группа»)
In October 2023, TX 225 G 4M gas welding torches from Finland’s Kemppi Welding Technology were delivered to Russia through Kazakhstan’s ALBERO BELLO LLP (led by Sergey Olegovich Shvayun)
and were also delivered to Volzhskaya Industrial Group
Another firm, Welding Solutions (headed by Oksana Alexandrovna Kozmina), based in Atyrau, Kazakhstan, supplied Russia with the X5 Wire Feeder 300 APC
an automatic wire feeder for welding electrodes
around 60 miles northeast of the country’s capital Helsinki
Some specialized alloys cannot be cut with conventional oxy-fuel torches. German company Alpine Metal Tech solves this issue with cutting machines that use SDS FP category specialized nozzles. These nozzles were imported into Russia by Turkish company Mmk Metalurji Sanayi Ticaret Ve Liman Isletmeciligi — which is fully owned by the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK)
a major metals manufacturer based in Russia’s Chelyabinsk Region
According to the Turkish business registry
Alpine Metal Tech’s thermal cutting equipment also passed through Lithuania
Uzbek company EQUIP IMPEX (headed by Rushana Ismedullaeva) imported welding and gas-cutting equipment parts from Alpine Metal Tech via Lithuanian customs broker UAB Alimelija
A representative at one of Alimelija's listed phone numbers told The Insider that the company had rented office space there a decade ago but is no longer located at that address
and attempts to reach the company through other phone numbers were unsuccessful
Turkish intermediary HTS Poer Dis Ticaret Limited Sirketi imported arc welding units valued at €2 million from Italy’s NUOVA C.M.M SRL into Russia
is a regular supplier for several Russian shipbuilding plants that fall under U.S
NUOVA C.M.M still operates a website with a Russian-language interface
offering a range of high-performance welding automation solutions for industrial use
Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) — a major iron and steel firm based in Russia's Chelyabinsk Region — has been sanctioned by multiple countries. In August 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated MMK and its chairman
for their roles in sectors generating substantial revenue for the Russian regime
The United Kingdom imposed sanctions on MMK in May 2023.

Here they saw how the concept of Industry 4.0 has been taken to its logical conclusion in the automation of laser cutting
a process which itself has seen dramatic progress in the last few years both in terms of cutting capacity and in terms of possible bevel cutting to produce finished parts in one process
Ingo Staudinger Manager Laser and Material Handling
first presented those present with a short history of the company: founded in the late nineteenth century
Adolf Messer GmbH (as it was then called) produced its first flame cutting machine in the early 1900’s going on to pioneer 1:10 scale optical cutting machines
automatically rotating bevel cutting heads
the first numerically controlled flame cutting machine in the 1960’s
the first cnc (computer numerically controlled) cutting machine in 1972
the first industrial CO2 laser cutting machine in Europe in 1968 with a power of only 250 Watts
enough to cut only very thin steel but also with the ability to cut much thicker acrylic plastics and wood with very little material loss and high precision
The introduction of fibre optic lasers has led to a rapid increase in the power available
which for many years had been effectively limited for metal cutting purposes to about 6KW
Now 40- or 50-KW fibre optic lasers can not only cut 45 mm thick steel but also produce both top edge and undercut bevels with angles up to 50 degrees
Large laser guidance machines with working widths of 5 m or more and long working lengths
coupled with automatic material feeds give the potential for automated production
showed how this potential has been realised for practical use by the subsidiary MesserSoft
Schultheiß showed how component details could be automatically extracted from CAD files or pfd format drawings
combined automatically with relevant data from the factory such as cutting speeds
labour costs and material costs to produce costed cutting quotations with realistic delivery dates based on current machine loadings in a matter of minutes with no manual intervention
the software can then turn the offer into a production order with all necessary parameters and details
schedule this onto the machines and instruct the material handling system to feed the appropriate plate to the machine for cutting all still with no manual intervention
The unloading equipment also receives the necessary data to unload the machine
sort the cut parts and palletise them for shipment to customers or feeding to the next production process (e.g

the first ever Pump Track World Champions will get crowned in Lenzerheide
Red Bull is running a series of events where competitors can show their momentum carrying skills
and earn a free spot on the start line for Worlds
Qualifiers begin in Rosendaal in The Netherlands in the second week of March, then head to Asia, Oceania, Africa, South America, North America, with return stops all along the way before finishing up back in Europe. Red Bull developed the worldwide series, alongside global pump track builder Velosolutions so no matter where you show up to race
23 qualifying rounds have been scheduled on the provisional calendar
The competition won’t net the pump-iest man & woman a UCI rainbow jersey
even though it does culminate with the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Lenzerheide
But pump tracks have already popped up all over the world. As Gstaad-Scott team manager, well-known DH course previewer
and of course one of the brains behind Velosolutions
Claudio Caluori says – the series “give(s) riders from around the world the chance to be a world champion and make their country proud.”
The top 4 men and top 4 women from each round will advance to the final World Championship
And Red Bull will make sure the winners from each round duke it out in the finals
awarding them at each round an all-expenses-paid trip to Lenzerheide
The provisional calendar includes the following dates
with a few dates and locales still to be confirmed:

the trade fair dedicated to tools and installations for processing and treating wood: 1,500 exhibitors will animate the 130 thousand square metres of the exhibition
Just a few weeks and Hannover will become the world capital of wood
From the 27 to 31 May 2019 the experts of the sector will turn their gaze towards Ligna
machines and installations for the processing and treatment of wood
Important numbers are expected: 1,500 companies will occupy the 130 thousand square metres of the exhibition centre and showcase the future of the processing and treatment industry of this important material
“Exhibitors from more than 50 countries will present technological solutions
applications and ideas for the entire cluster of the forestry and wood sector
The presence of leading manufacturers makes Hannover the global hotspot for the sector
The international profile of the trade fair has been growing without interruption,” explains Christian Pfeiffer
Global Director of LIGNA & Woodworking Events
at the press conference held in Milan on 14 February 2019
“Milan Design Week is the world’s leading event for the design culture
with over 500,000 visitors from all over the world,” says architect Giulio Ceppi
“I believe that bringing an exhibition like Wood.Lifecycle to Milan is a strategic opportunity for attracting new interests and resources to Domotex and for showing Deutsche Messe’s ability in creating relationships: in particular
the context of the exhibition Smart City / People
promoted by Material ConneXion and curated by myself
resonates particularly consistent with the themes presented in Hannover in January and becomes the concrete opportunity to demonstrate how the wood supply chain is renewing itself and happily hybridising with the world of the new digital technologies.”

Germany-based death metal band Disbelief have signed an album contract with Listenable Records
revealing this development on November 8th
The band’s tenth full-length studio album The Symbol Of Death is scheduled for an April 2017 release
was released in May 2010 via Massacre Records
with up to six degrees of freedom and long-travel linear motor axes with encoders for position readout
This precision laser welding station complies with complex welding geometries
the laser beam is deviated to any position in a field of 100 × 100 mm by a XY scanner within milliseconds
Modern fiber laser sources offer up to 500 W continuous-wave power and create a weld seam down to 20 µm wide
such lasers provide high peak powers and allow for keyhole welding
lamp-pumped Nd:YAG lasers with pulses in the millisecond regime allow for high flexibility—as low as 100 µm spot diameter can be achieved
Automated machine vision utilizes the images from the weld optics and external cameras for motion control purposes
Device-specific machine vision algorithms reduce the processing time to a minimum
VersaWeld works as a single station or can be integrated into production lines
Trays for single or multiple devices sets
and feeders present the parts for processing and allow for the exchange with other work stations in the line
VersaWeld controls robots for device loading
Quick-release toolings serve for maximum flexibility in order to process different workpieces and reduce setup time when changing from one process to the next

High Volume Characterization of Optical Modulators
Optical modulators (Mach Zehnder or LiNBO3) are widely used in fiber communication – either inside the housing together with the diode laser or as separate units in the optical chain
Thorough testing of these deviceson bar or Chip-on-Submount level is required before final packaging
a series of standard instrumentation from various suppliers is available
Nanosystec now delivers NanoTest: a standard set-up for the optical alignment on the input and/or output side (up to 6 axes of active alignment on each side)
machine vision and temperature controlled jigs to hold the devices
The temperature of the customized holder can be varied over a large range (either with recirculating liquid or thermoelectric elements)
The uniform temperature distribution guarantees excellent position stability during test
A lens assembly with single mode fiber carries the light of the laser diode to the modulator and on the outcoupling side to the measurement instruments
the light coupled into the optical fiber is measured and serves as feedback signal for axis position
The position drift over the measurement period of approximately 15 minutes is negligible
The obtained measurement results are usable without any limitation and time consuming realignments are not required
The optional machine vision system supports fast pre-alignment
The entire test can run fully automated for a series of bars or Chip-on-Submount devices
software integration of test instruments and data handling can be offered as well

Photo Gallery: Converting Train Stations into Living Spaces
The former train station on Kardinal-von-Galen Street has seen better days
Its platform-facing façade is covered in graffiti and its facilities are in desperate need of renovation
the building -- which is several centuries old -- suffered a renovation in the then-contemporary 1970s style
Its old-fashioned mouldings were replaced with austere-looking plaster
Reviving the building's original 19th-century feel presents a challenge for any architect
the building was the star of the show at this year's autumn auction at Berlin-based auction house Karhausen
Twelve bidders had already placed offers on the house before the auction had officially begun
The minimum bidding price of €5,000 ($6,800) was soon exceeded by significantly higher bids: €12,000
In comparison to other properties on offer
bids were coming in at a breathtaking pace
two bidders in particular were going head to head in their attempts to acquire the house
had traveled all the way from the western city of Mainz to attend the auction
"That is an aficionado's price," says the man
would agree to pay €75,000 for a house right next to a platform hosting four trains every hour
Chief auctioneer Matthias Knake oversaw the sale of some 30 train station buildings on that day alone
Among the sales was a locomotive shed with a water tower and what was once a signal tower
While the bidding prices for these old buildings usually start at around €3,000
the final price is often in the tens of thousands
The buyers include people like Heidrun Brandt from the town of Kyritz in Brandenburg
The accountant had been on the lookout for an appropriate location for her office
A conveniently located train station seemed like just the right fit
if it would need little more than aesthetic repairs
The fact that local authorities are considering closing the adjacent platform altogether in just a few years' time means the value of the property is likely to go up
The track closure is not something that Brandt wants
"My son regularly comes from Berlin to visit," she explained
"It is easier if he can disembark directly in front of the door."
Brandt was forced to pay a premium for the mere prospect of peace and quiet
Only after a lengthy negotiation process was she able to outbid her competitors
The neglected train station in the town of Passow
situated in a remote part of the Uckermark region sells for €1,900
At 320 square meters (3,450 square feet) of living space
The cheap prices are not what it comes down to for real train station aficionados
"We had simply fallen in love with the house and had dreamt of living there for a long time," says Birgit Hörner
who has been living in the former Gross-Umstadt train station -- situated between Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg -- for nearly seven years with her family
Hörner acquired the property -- together with her husband
Robert Laack -- directly from Germany's national rail operator Deutsche Bahn (DB)
higher bid that could have scuppered the deal was withdrawn
allowing the couple to make the purchase on Hörner's birthday
But the couple was not able to move into the new family home as soon as it had hoped: The local council unexpectedly made a fuss about the height of the wall dividing the family's living quarters from the platform
The couple had received ample warning that working with DB's supervisory office would be extremely complicated
the rail operator only sells its properties with special restrictions
new owners have to agree that train passengers will be able to pass through their property to reach the platform
new owners have to allow DB employees into their homes to access signal box technology still situated there
Those who are uncomfortable with DB's terms are better off buying other properties
the handover was completed without any major squabbles
Birgit Hörner and Robert Lack spent years converting Groß-Umstadt train station -- situated between Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg -- into a living space
the train station was still in frequent use
people traveling through Groß-Umstadt were curious about the couple living inside the train station
Restoring the house according to its original design was important to the couple
"We want the house to remain attractive to people a century from now," says Hörner
Renovating the wooden windows on the platform-facing facade was one of the most costly aspects of the operation
Before the couple embarked on their restoration endeavor
The couple was careful to renovate the interiors according to the house's original design
The train station's waiting room now serves as a seminar room
The floor of the lobby had to be thoroughly cleaned
and several slabs of stone completely replaced
The train station's former back office now serves as the family's open plan kitchen and living room
The couple's bedroom is situated in the attic
Many of the original wooden beams are still in place
The view from the family's living room window makes up for the noise generated by passing trains

Die AfD ist mittlerweile die wichtigste Sammlungspartei für militante Neonazis
Reichsbürger*innen und extrem Rechte aller Couleur
Ihre Büros und Geschäftsstellen sind zentrale Orte der Vernetzung in der extremen Rechten
Kurz: Die AfD ist das Zentrum extrem rechter Netzwerke
All dies ist nicht neu und auch nicht erst seit dem Treffen von Potsdam bekannt
Antifaschistische Strukturen warnen seit 10 Jahren vor den Gefahren für die demokratische Gesellschaft
Immer wieder waren es investigative Journalist*innen und antifaschistische Recherchegruppen
welche die Verbindungen zwischen der AfD und rechtsterroristischen Zellen und militanten Strukturen herausgearbeitet haben
Stück für Stück wurde die AfD von der etablierten Politik normalisiert
ihre Thesen und Positionen übernommen und der Diskurs immer weiter nach rechts verschoben
Erst dadurch konnte der Nährboden entstehen
auf dem die AfD in den letzten Jahren gewachsen ist
Lichterketten gegen Rechts zu bilden oder seiner Empörung in den sozialen Netzwerken zum Ausdruck zu bringen
die Partei und ihre handelnden Individuen entschlossen zu bekämpfen
Wir wollen ihnen gemeinsam mit euch die Räume streitig machen
in denen sie sich wie selbstverständlich bewegen
unbehelligt fühlen und in Sicherheit wähnen
Denn die Mitglieder und Sympathisant*innen der AfD sind nicht irgendwer
Sie sind unsere Nachbar*innen oder Arbeitskolleg*innen
Teilweise ist ihr Engagement bekannt und wird von ihrem Umfeld mit Gleichgültigkeit betrachtet
Wer die Floskel „Nie wieder ist jetzt“ ernst meint
Auf dieser Webseite haben wir daher versucht
alle Funktionär*innen der AfD in Südhessen sichtbar zu machen und sie zu markieren
Bei einigen Funktionär*innen fehlen uns jedoch noch Informationen und wir können die Lücken nicht alleine schließen
selbst genau hinzusehen und wachsam zu bleiben
