Website by Square Eye Ltd After 11 days in Sotogrande in southern Spain during the which the Boys in Brown continued their preparations for the second half of the season head coach Ewald Lienen can look back on a positive training camp "Thanks to the quality of the pitches and the weather we were able to work on a lot of different things in Sotogrande," said Lienen "We needed to find the right balance between work and recuperation and so as well some high-intensity days with two sessions we also had some rest days The warm-up matches are incredibly important We wanted to be fresh going into them and so we reduced the workload accordingly on the day before the game" And despite the two defeats in the final two games against FC Zurich (1-3) and Dynamo Kyiv (1-3) Lienen was satisfied with the performances of his team as a whole "I'm happy with the progress we've made here in Sotogrande," he said just before departing for Germany After almost two months out with injury (MCL tear in his knee) Christopher Buchtmann returned to the training ground in Spain "Buchti's a key player for us," said Lienen "He was out for a long time but the knee looks stable." Robin Himmelmann (muscle tear) resumed training as well "He's also well on the way back to fighting fitness," a delighted Lienen added Ewald Lienen had lots of positives to jot down in his notebook had to leave Sotogrande early due to illness "He'd worked so long to get back into the team so I fell really sorry for him," said Lienen of his defender for whom the Stuttgart game will come too early Lienen will also be without Aziz Bouhaddouz Johannes Flum and Mats Møller Dæhli leave him in an optimistic mood: "I think we're well set We have lots of alternatives and different options now Who plays will be down to the attitude and physical condition of the players." Asked whether his charges have the right mentality for the battle against relegation Lienen said: "I see a squad that is highly motivated and understands what's at stake They are extremely committed in everything they do We got back on the right track before Christmas and we've continued along that path during the winter break." German professional dressage rider Ann-Christin Wienkamp will be leaving Oliver Oelrich's yard to set up her own independent business at a new base Wienkamp has been working at Olivier Oelrich's yard in Lengerich for more than 10 years The 32-year old Wienkamp began her career as a professional rider with the Egbers family in Haftenkamp after which she went to work for Oelrich She has achieved over 10 medals at World Young Horse Championships and Bundeschampionships and qualified several horses for the Nurnberger Burgpokal finals is the gold medal at the 2017 World Young Horse championships on Don Martillo Besides the professional training of dressage horses New base for Wienkamp at Löffeld yard in Lienen"The yard in Lengerich has simply become too small for two highly asked professionals I'm very happy that I will not only have the perfect conditions for horse and rider at the newly constructed facility of the Löffeld family but also that I can continue to collaborate with Oliver by staying close in the area," said Wienkamp "Also Hans-Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen will continue to help me with the training of the horses." Oelrich added," in the last few years Ann-Christin built up a big clientele  so that our space has reached its limit I'm very happy that Ann-Chrisin will have the best conditions at the Löffeld yard and we can continue to collaborate."

said the Plano woman who will honor the father she barely knew on Sunday at a special Father’s Day ceremony in Washington Breaking NewsGet the latest breaking news from North Texas and beyond GoogleFacebookBy signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy The event marks the 50th anniversary of American ground combat operations in Vietnam It’s also the 25th anniversary of Sons and Daughters In Touch (SDIT) a nationwide organization that unites children of service members who never returned from the Vietnam War “He was proud of his country and proud of serving his country,” Von Lienen said of her father Von Lienen will wash the section of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall where her father’s is one of 58,000 names etched in the black granite surface She performed the healing act five years ago when she attended her first SDIT ceremony “I felt like I was able to do something for my dad for the first time,” recalled Von Lienen Saavedra’s remains have never been recovered and he’s been listed as missing in action since his plane crashed on April 28 her family didn’t talk much about her father or the sacrifice he made for his country “You didn’t want to talk about it because you didn’t know what they would say,” she said a friend told her about the organization for children of fallen or missing service members explaining her readiness to meet others who had lost fathers in Vietnam But she also yearned to know more about the man she remembered through “a few snapshots in my head.” After posting information about her dad on the online Vietnam Veterans Virtual Memorial Wall she was pleased to see responses from his childhood friends and others who knew him “I’d never heard any of his childhood stories,” said Von Lienen She and her husband attended the 20th anniversary of the SDIT organization at The Wall in the nation’s capital she got a chance to talk to others who had experienced the same kind of loss “I started wanting to talk about him so he’s remembered and the sacrifice he’s made is remembered.” the organization has become the support group she never had when she was growing up And she’s pleased that events like the Father’s Day ceremony provide a way to give belated thanks to the unsung heroes of the war “You just don’t want them to be forgotten,” Von Lienen said Metrics details Non-aureus staphylococci are commonly found on dairy farms Two rarely investigated species are Staphylococcus (S.) cohnii and S they may serve as an antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene reservoir for harmful staphylococcal species urealyticus isolates from German dairy farms were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing and AMR testing The isolates harbored various AMR genes (aadD1 qacG/H) and exhibited non-wildtype phenotypes (resistances) against chloramphenicol they showed reduced susceptibility to a number of beta-lactam antibiotics including cefoxitin (MIC 4–8 mg/L) and penicillin (MIC 0.25–0.5 mg/L) The specificity of cefoxitin susceptibility testing for mecA or mecC gene prediction in S A comparison with penicillin-binding protein (PBP) amino acid sequences of S aureus showed identities of only 70–80% with regard to PBP1 urealyticus from selected German dairy farms show multiple resistances to antimicrobial substances and may carry unknown antimicrobial resistance determinants The aim of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance potential of S urealyticus isolates from German dairy farms The isolates were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and AMR testing AMR gene prediction was linked to the respective phenotypic resistance pattern A special focus was set on beta-lactam antibiotic resistance and related AMR genes since beta-lactams are commonly used to treat infections such as mastitis in livestock Since NAS might serve as an AMR gene reservoir for S which is a major animal and human pathogenic species monitoring of multidrug-resistant NAS is of high importance Phylogenetic analysis by TYGS of 15 presumptive S cohnii isolates from German dairy farms reveals two main clusters of relationship urealyticus DSM6718 indicates assignment of these isolates to the species The isolates harbored various AMR genes with a variable distribution among the isolates Resistance to the antibiotic classes aminoglycosides (aadD1 pleuromutilin–lincosamide–streptogramin (lnuA) fosfomycin (fosB6) and to quaternary ammonium compounds (qacG/H) was predicted The number of detected AMR genes per isolate varied between eight (1/15) The fusF and dfrC genes were detected in all S. cohnii and S. urealyticus isolates (Table 1) cohnii isolates) genes were only detected in some isolates or in only one of the two species urealyticus) genes were each present in only one isolate The mecA gene of isolate SC7 was located on a SCCmec type V all mecA/mecC negative isolates were susceptible to oxacillin cohnii isolate SC7 exhibited a non-wildtype phenotype to all beta-lactam antibiotics Only the femA and gdpP genes were detected Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree with reference S PBP2 and PBP3 amino acid sequences in comparison to PBPs of the investigated S Amino acid sequence identity of PBPs from S but apparently only leads to a reduced susceptibility to kanamycin the 44% (4/9) or 33% (2/6) tetracycline resistance frequency of the S urealyticus isolates in our study is rather low Due to the limited data in public databases with respect to rpoB genes from S urealyticus as well as to antimicrobial resistant S it is difficult to link mutations in the rpoB gene of the isolates from our study to the manifestation of rifampicin resistance urealyticus isolate SC11 harbored tetL without dfrK data availability regarding AMR and its respective genes in S urealyticus is extremely limited and for this reason it is unclear how reliable the annotation and function of the so far published S Due to the lack of comparable public data from susceptible and non-susceptible strains the association of AMR with specific gene alterations currently cannot be proven the specificity of cefoxitin testing for the detection of mecA or mecC genes and respective methicillin resistance in S but this needs to be confirmed on a larger strain collection our findings provide further impetus for the investigation of antimicrobial resistance in NAS since these organisms have been thus far largely overlooked in this respect Ethical review and approval was not required for the study because sampling of quarter milk samples was carried out in accordance with German legislation within the framework of diagnostic investigations on the dairy farms No ethical approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee or the National Animal Experimentation Council was required Samples were collected by a trained veterinarian with consent from the owners of the animals For evaluation of within farm genotypical differences cohnii isolates were analyzed from two farms DNA from one 1 µl inoculation loop filled with colonies was extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen Germany) according to the manufacturer´s protocol modified by a 10 µl lysostaphin addition to the lysis buffer The DNA library was prepared using an Illumina Nextera DNA Flex kit (Illumina Inc. USA) and the 150 bp paired-end sequencing run was performed on an Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument cohnii complete circular genomes (NCBI accession numbers UHDA01000001.1 which were retrieved by NCBI Nucleotide search for “penicillin binding protein” and “Staphylococcus cohnii” were extracted into an in-house database and S urealyticus assembled sequences from our study were searched by NCBI blastn against these known PBP genes Translation of DNA to amino acid sequences and alignment to PBP1-3 of S aureus extracted from NCBI as well as among the different PBPs of the detected S urealyticus isolates was conducted using MEGA X version 10.1.7 and ClustalW A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree was subsequently calculated comparing the PBP1-3 amino acid sequences from S mgrA (AP017922.1) and mprF (HM140977.1) genes was checked by individual NCBI BLAST against S aureus or Macrococcus caseolyticus (mecB and mecD) reference genes aureus isolates ATCC 29213 and ATCC 25923 were used The assembled sequences of all isolates in our study are deposited in NCBI under the BioProject PRJNA641762 Mahmmod, Y.

Though sport will form the focus of the partnership there are opportunities in other areas as well "We're also hoping to learn from each other in the area of marketing," said Rettig "Some of our partners are looking to expand their presence in the UK market and vice-versa The UK is one of our most important markets as far as merchandise is concerned and we also hope to benefit from Stoke's expertise in the areas of social media and club TV." Rettig continued: "It makes sense to look for a partner in England because the Premier League is the biggest league in the world in commercial terms In Stoke City we've found a club with a long tradition for whom the fans are extremely important Stoke haven't put their ticket prices up in ten years and have also funded free away travel for the fans for quite some time now." Stoke CEO Tony Scholes is also very much looking forward to the partnership "We quickly realised that the two clubs have a lot in common," he said Pauli and are convinced we can learn a lot from each other – both on and off the pitch." Scholes and the rest of the Stoke City delegation arrived in Hamburg yesterday lunchtime and got to know St Pauli on an extensive three-hour tour of the district In addition to many similarities he has noticed quite a few differences: "There'll be some things we can't put into practice at home but there are others we'll certainly benefit from," said Scholes Pauli as a "unique club" before issuing an invitation to FCSP fans to visit Stoke to get to know the club Stoke City technical director Mark Cartwright will cooperate very closely with his FCSP counterpart Ewald Lienen in future Cartwright visited the Millerntor for the first time for the goalless draw against SV Sandhausen in early April The game itself didn't bowl him over but the hospitality certainly did "The welcome from Andreas and his team was exceptional," he said before adding: "It soon became clear that there's a lot we can do together From the sport perspective we think the partnership offers great opportunities for working together The style and intensity of our play are similar We also see big chances in the area of player development." Ewald Lienen also believes the partnership offers great opportunities "Sport will be at the heart of the cooperation," the 63-year-old said "We're obviously interested in building a really good squad full of talented young players while Stoke are looking to loan out young players to allow them to gain match practice in a high-quality league." "The two clubs also have an opportunity to coordinate their squad planning," Lienen continued "It's not merely a question of taking players on loan Stoke can help us sign players who in two or three years' time may have progressed enough to play for them For us it's an opportunity to get players we couldn't otherwise afford Stoke have the chance to let players play here who at some point will have the quality needed to play for them." Lienen has also identified opportunities for the clubs to improve their scouting operations and learn from each other's academy work "Youth coaches could spend time learning from their counterparts at the other club and our youth teams could fly over for two or three weeks during the holidays to gain valuable experience" he said "There are so many possibilities for us to talk about but that's all in the future," he concluded The two technical directors Ewald Lienen (left) and Mark Cartwright (right) will work together very closely in future "HORSE24 Champions" - what could be more apt and appropriate for this auction premiere following the HORSE24 German Foal Championships last weekend in Lienen than this name All nine hand-picked foals put up for the online auction from 20 to 23 July were awarded gold silver or bronze or showed up in the finals Among them are the amazing winner in the riding pony division and the winner of the Goldfever-class thanks to his particularly supple movements even made it to the final of the best dressage foals Invincible (1) is the celebrated winner in the dressage colt division is half-brother to Patrik Kittel's up-coming star Sir Floresco Fiero (by Fynch Hatton x San Amour)Vice-Champion Fiero (4) a son by the Champion Stallion and Federal Champion Fynch Hatton OLD also displays qualities of a true future stallion personality The silver medallist in the filly division descends from the line of Olympic team bronze medallist Rainier with his American rider Robert Dover and Isabell Werth's Grand Prix Champion Aleppo-S: Flawless (5) Her sire For Gold carries the valuable performance blood of Olympic Champion and three-time European Champion Weihegold OLD The winning trio is completed by bronze medallist Belle (6) who even earned three times the maximum score of 10 for her outstanding movements The gorgeous daughter by Bond is out of the same line than World Cup show jumping winner Arielle under the British rider William Whitaker Flawless (by For Gold x Florencio)For all important details on the nine "HORSE24 Champions"- foals, click on the auction page of www.horse24.com where free registration will also be possible Placing bids will be possible as of Thursday Please contact HORSE24 founder Simon Kohlenbrenner should you require additional information and personal advice Public Law and Judicial Review Associate Member Dr Christina Lienen will speak on 19th April 2024 at the Third Critical Perspectives on Human Rights Conference organised by The City College of New York’s Division of Interdisciplinary Studies from 17-19 April 2024 She will be part of the panel “History and Human Rights” alongside academic colleagues from the UK and the United States Her talk – “Human Rights as a Vehicle to Project Rather than to Protect” – adds to the growing discourse offering a critical examination of both the legacy and the present state of international human rights she argues thar human rights have to a large extent been used as a vehicle to project a certain image on the purported benefactors of human rights and to keep said benefactors in positions of control rather than to achieve the equitable protection of universal values Website by Square Eye Ltd. The ‘cult’ football club's behaviour has made headlines again I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice St Pauli, the famous ‘cult’ football club based in Hamburg, have made headlines once again after announcing a new signing in a peculiar fashion. The 2. Bundesliga side, known for their brown kit, unofficial skull and crossbones emblem and adoption of left-leaning politics, presented Marvin Ducksch to media on Wednesday morning. However, Ewald Lienan, the club’s manager, could not make the unveiling – so, in his place, a unidentified man wore a mask of the 62-year-old coach. Ducksch, a 22-year-old striker signed from Borussia Dortmund, looks rather nonplussed by the stunt in the photograph, despite saying that he is “looking forward to the challenge at St Pauli.” After the image prompted questions from fans on social media regarding the whereabouts of Lienen, St Pauli confirmed that a mystery man in a mask had stood in for their manager and described it as “a one-off”. The club later issued a reaction from Lienen to the signing; he said: “With Marvin we get an attacker who has good technique and a very good end product.” Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies A German firefighter was killed and another was seriously injured in a gas explosion Saturday The blast occurred at about 11:30 a.m. in an apartment building in Lienen in the country's Steinfurt district, German news outlet Bild reports and they alerted firefighters as they left the building Crews were trying to determine the source of the gas smell when the explosion happened Firefighters also were struck by debris in the blast was killed after being buried beneath the rubble Another firefighter was pulled from the wreckage and suffered serious injuries Dr Christina Lienen, Associate Member of Chambers, has published a new book, Shaped by the Nuanced Constitution: A Critique of Common Law Constitutional Rights which is published by leading publisher Hart Publishing (Bloomsbury) analyses significant recent public law judgments R (Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers and R (Begum) v Special Immigration Appeals Commission It argues that neither common law constitutionalism nor political constitutionalism adequately captures the nature of public law litigation because neither is fully able to account for the co-existence and interplay between parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law Advancing the idea of a ‘nuanced’ constitution instead the book provides an in-depth analysis of common law constitutional rights The book is available as an e-book and in hardback via the publisher’s website. 56th annual event rolls into Calgary's Stampede Park April 5-7 showcasing classics, collectibles and celebrities Join the conversation You can save this article by registering for free here.
