Its façade is made of larch wood, which was cut in the client's own forestry operation. Facing the schoolyard, the 112 m long school building has an open entrance zone along its entire long side, which serves as a welcome gesture, a covered break area, a communication space, and access to the individual learning clusters. This mediating entrance creates low-threshold access into a bright and friendly school building. © EbenerThe ICS was designed to be barrier-free, integrative, and sustainable. It is designed as a demountable solid wood building with a timber frame façade, almost all essential structural and building components remain visible in the interior.

The internal layout is described by the architects as follows: "Music and art rooms form the central block of specialized classes on the ground floor; the rather more robust area of workshops is oriented to the west and the specialized science classes define the back of the building to the north The administrative area is located close to the bus stops and parking lots and is thus accessible to parents and teachers by a short route – and yet arranged rather discreetly with respect to school operations."

Susanne and Thomas Jeromin broke the record for having 420 trees in just one place The Jeromin family said the record proves "there is no other place in the world besides your own four walls where a large number of festively decorated Christmas trees are set up." But how did they decorate and buy so many trees How to preserve your tree: Making your real Christmas tree last is all about the base Is Santa ready for the holidays?: Santa received his booster shot and is 'good to go' for Christmas, Dr. Fauci confirms The Jeromin family starts accumulating and decorating their home for the holiday as early as September. The family has become famous for their self-proclaimed "winter wonderland" that dozens would travel to in Rinteln-Volksen, Germany to visit the couple's home. The family had guests all the way from Japan come to visit their record-breaking home in the past, though those visits stopped due to the coronavirus pandemic. "It is an open secret that the Jeromin family does not get enough of decorated Christmas trees. And I am always amazed at how much dedication and creativity they bring to decorating and decorating.

(News Video) Link copiedShareShare articleIn the small German town of Rinteln, one couple has pulled out all the stops when it comes to their Christmas decorations. From the outside, Thomas and Susanne Jeromine's house does not look out of the ordinary, with only a few modest decorations. But inside, it is packed to the rafters with Christmas trees — more than 100 in all, crammed into the 105 square metres of space. They are adorned with twinkling fairy lights, ornaments and around 16,000 baubles. The Christmas tree collection has turned Susanne and Thomas Jeromine into local celebrities. (Reuters: Video) The collection started small but has grown rapidly over the last few years — and it has made the couple into local celebrities. "I always loved Christmas, all the glitter and baubles, trees, ornaments. And of course we started off with a normal Christmas tree in the living room as you'd expect," Thomas Jeromine said. It takes the couple eight weeks to get the house ready for the Christmas period. They begin putting up decorations in early October, filling every room except for their bedroom. Every single room except for the bedroom is covered in Christmas decorations. (Reuters: Video) "It's our retreat for when we've had enough of Christmas. And nothing will go in there, luckily that's been decided," Susanne Jeromine said. But other than the bedroom, the Christmas paraphernalia is everywhere you look — right down to a Santa Claus toilet seat in the bathroom. Erin Patterson's mushroom murder trial resumesLIVE CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) is the most streamed German show on Netflix and self-aware show that strikes a good balance between drama and realism a highschool student who is dumped by his girlfriend after she discovers the world of party drugs while on her year abroad Moritz attempts to win her back by setting up his own drug selling company and I find it refreshing to see a protagonist who does not have one likeable quality Across the series Moritz alternates between being whiny He’s basically the seven dwarves of bad personality traits and yet he completely works as a character partly because his relentless ambition is what drives the show the many side characters are able to provide plenty of heart There honestly isn’t a character in this show that I genuinely dislike although Moritz’s ex-girlfriend Lisa is occasionally tiresome Lenny is highly sympathetic from the beginning but his nerdiness and insecurities make his friendship with Moritz believable Dan is clearly introduced as a foil to Moritz because he is supposed to be Moritz’s opposite he also manages to be both braver and nicer Dan quietly being a much better person than Moritz is my favourite Easter egg the relationship that HTSDOF has with it’s subject matter of drugs is… strange It seems to flip-flop between presenting drugs as something dangerous and presenting them as something normal that a lot of teenagers experiment with While both interpretations have some truth It’s acceptable that many teen dramas would stick to one or the other if they have limited run-time but in HTSDOF drugs are at the heart of the show – I feel that there was room for something a bit more complex that the show never really explores One moment of the first season which could have gone deeper happens in the fifth episode when Gerda (one of Lisa’s best friends) and a girl that Moritz is romantically interested in overdose on MDMA that she bought from MyDrugs rather than being significant in any way to the plot Neither Lenny nor Moritz use this experience to consider the real-world implications of the business that they’re in but instead Moritz simply asks Lenny to change the website code so that drugs cannot be bought from within Rinseln The fact that Gerda ended up in hospital because of the drugs that Moritz and Lenny were selling is never mentioned again the main motivation Dan and Lenny have for wanting to leave the drug business is the secrecy and the dangerous nature of it rather than the fact that selling drugs could cause harm to other people The second season in particular would have been very similar whether Moritz and Lenny had been dealing drugs or counterfeit watches a big strength of HTSDOF is the particularly nuanced picture of the internet This show really understands the way in which the internet is intertwined with the lives of young people something that shows marketed to teenagers often struggle with From Moritz’s ten year old sister navigating Instagram brand deals to the detailed explanations of encryption the show doesn’t talk down to its audience but instead attempts to present complicated ideas in an entertaining way This is done through a method reminiscent of the film The Big Short which works very well with the pseudo-documentary style of the show A consistent theme is the idea of internet and identity and how it can be used to both help build and disguise a person In the beginning of the show Moritz logs into Lisa’s Facebook and this is how he discovers that she has been experimenting with drugs he logs in as Lenny in order to create the MyDrugs website After this Lenny pretends to be Dan in order to catfish a girl he likes which culminates in Dan pretending to be Lenny when he organises to meet with the girl in real life the exploration of all the different ways in which internet use can define a person is interestingly explored it seems that more than the “Drugs” in the title the “Online” is what the show really focuses on HTSDOF is more “Teenage Mark Zuckerberg” than it is Breaking Bad but it is an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable show nonetheless Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
