Saint-Augustin’s radiologists and technologists prize the MRI system for its ability to deliver high-quality imaging in a short time
Serving more patients and helium-free operationSaint-Augustin chose the MR 5300 system to help it serve more patients
while also addressing the need for better workflow and ergonomics that enhance both patient and operator experience
The decision-makers were also impressed by the system’s magnet that enables helium-free operation
The fully-sealed BlueSeal magnet uses just 0.5%1 of the helium of a conventional system – and no refills are required
“This system is a sign of strong ecological progress for imaging,” Dr

Dusseldorf — The bodies of two missing firefighters were found in the rubble of a motorcycle shop in the western German village of Sankt Augustin early on Monday
had been among a team from the local volunteer fire brigade called out to a fire in a village near Germany's former capital Bonn on Sunday around midday
Their bodies were discovered in the early hours of Monday
More than 200 emergency personnel were on the scene to extinguish the fire in the motorcycle store and adjacent workshop
and five of them had to be taken to hospital
which sent a column of black smoke 50 metres above the village
Police cordoned off the area around the scene and residents were told to keep their windows closed
"This tragic event makes us all dismayed and stunned," Sankt Augustin Mayor Max Leitterstorf said
our thoughts and sympathy are with the families and relatives of the two
as well as with their comrades of the Sankt Augustin Volunteer Fire Department."

AUGUSTINE ― Dunbar's magical playoff run ended one step short of Tallahassee
Augustine ended its own 16-year title game wait

ousted top-seeded Golden Gate 12-7 after Hezekiah Jones' clinching interception with 10 seconds to play and squeezed past Naples 12-10 when Kelby Tyre took a kickoff 96 yards to the end zone as the clock hit zero
Augustine's red zone defense extinguished Dunbar's hopes for a repeat of the last-minute heroics
with drive-killing fourth-down stops again and again
Matteo Bernardi had a pass breakup on fourth down at the Jackets 20
Mike Wright had sack on fourth down at the 26
An incompletion under pressure forced another turnover on downs at the 11
A Julian Quintero hit stuffed the Tigers from the 2
A Ja'ki Singleton deflection on another fourth down from the 20 stopped another drive
Senior linebacker Drake Lusk was everywhere

Changes to the traffic management on Dysart Road will come into place from 6th December
Please note that the current night-time closures for Dysart Road will remain in place this week between Barrowby Gate and the railway bridge at Sankt Augustin Way from 7pm to 6:30am.
full daytime road closures will be in place on Dysart Road between Trent Road and the A1 overbridge from 6am to 6pm (weekdays only)
Daytime working will offer the best opportunity for laying the final surfacing at suitable temperatures.
Access will be maintained for residents and businesses during the daytime closures.
The section of Dysart Road between Barrowby Gate and the railway bridge at Sankt Augustin Way will be fully open in both directions from Saturday 7 December for the remainder of the project
This means that those travelling from Barrowby Gate will only be able to travel across onto Trent Road or turn left onto Dysart Road towards Sankt Augustin Way during the daytime closures
Temporary traffic signals will also be in use as needed for up to three days between 9th and 19th December between 9:30am to 3:30pm
This is to allow the contractor to join up the missing section of footway between the retail park and Dysart Way
This work is being carried out now following on from the land recently being dedicated by the local landowner.
The Dysart Road improvement project is still expected to be complete before Christmas this year
For more information about the project, visit www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/dysartroad
The district council-funded scheme will start in mid-August
Please note that Phase 5 of the Station Approach works will begin on the evening of Monday 25 November until early December
This work will involve resurfacing the full junction under the following traffic management:
Please note the evenings of 9-13 December are being held in reserve if needed due to inclement weather
said: “We’ve been able to move the start of the final phase of South Kesteven District Council’s Station Approach works forward
which means we have more flexibility to complete the works sooner
“This is because the weather will likely be warmer in late November compared to mid-December
meaning the temperatures will be more conducive to laying road surfacing
“We still expect to have these works completed ahead of Christmas.”
Phase 4 of the Station Approach works will begin on the evening of Monday 11 November until late November at the Westgate / Sankt Augustin Way junction under the following traffic management:
Phase 3 of the Station Approach works will begin on Monday 28 October until mid-November at the Harlaxton Road/Sankt Augustin Way traffic island under the following traffic management:
Phase 2 of the Station Approach works will begin on Friday 27 September until late October under the following traffic management:
said: “Similar to the ongoing works to Grantham Market Place
we will be the delivery partner for another set of South Kesteven District Council roadworks in Grantham – these ones at the Station Road/A607 junction
we’ll be resurfacing and carrying out pedestrian facility upgrades at Harlaxton Road
Westgate and Sankt Augustin Way; upgrading the existing traffic signals; and jet-washing the footpath on the north side of Wharf Road onto the southernmost part of Westgate.”
Monday 19 August for up to three and a half months
The roadworks will be carried out in five phases (all dates are subject to suitable weather and other unforeseen circumstances on site)
in addition to other traffic management measures
24/7 multi-way temporary traffic signals will be in place for the duration of the first four phases on Westgate
and Harlaxton Road at its junction with the A52 and A607
Cllr Davies added: “These works will no doubt cause a significant amount of disruption in Grantham while underway
I want to assure everyone that we’ll be doing all we can to keep this to a minimum
This includes keeping noise to a minimum after 10pm; maintaining access when possible; keeping pedestrian footways open; and generally working as quickly and efficiently
we’re also asking people to leave extra time for their journeys starting mid-August and to treat our workforce with respect one works are underway here.”
The project is being fully funded by a portion of the £4.1 million of Grantham Future High Street Fund funding awarded to the South Kesteven District Council in 2020 by the Department for Levelling Up
Housing and Communities and the Ministry of Housing

Additional traffic management has been put in place to ensure the safety of road users and the project’s workforce
The following additional traffic management measures have been put in place for the Dysart Road improvement works
said: “Main construction works at Dysart Road started as planned yesterday
a large number of vehicles attempted to access westbound Dysart Road when traveling north from Sankt Augustin Way so we’ve had to block off this area to ensure the safety of road users and our workforce
those wanting to travel across the A52 on Dysart Road towards Westgate will no longer be able to do this
They will instead have to turn left onto Sankt Augustin Way and head north to Barrowby Road roundabout
they can turn around to follow their intended route
“I know this is additional piece of traffic management is inconvenient
but it’s essential to ensure no vehicles turn onto the closed portion of Dysart Road.”
Karen Cassar added: “We also encountered some issues with HGVs taller than 4.5m following our diversion route and not being able to fit under the low bridge at Harlaxton Road
we’ve now signposted a separate diversion route for HGVs and other vehicles taller than 4.5 metres.”
The diversion route for HGVs and other vehicles taller than 4.5m will be to turn left off of Dysart Road onto Sankt Augustin Way
double-back on the Barrowby Road roundabout to the A52 / B1174 / Tollemache Road North / A1/ A607 / Harlaxton Road / Swingbridge Road / Trent Road / Dysart Road
Please note that the diversion route for standard vehicles smaller than 4.5 metres remains via Harlaxton Road / Swingbridge Road / Trent Road

Professional tennis returns to Saint-Augustin, Quebec, this week as its second edition of the ITF M25 tournament begins with top seed Aziz Dougaz looking to once again come out on top
Dougaz, hailing from Tunisia, breezed his way through the inaugural tournament in 2022
besting Canadian Justin Boulais in straight sets
Dougaz won one other tournament: the M15 Monastir in his home country that concluded this weekend
He is the top seed going into the M25 in Saint-Augustin
Liam Draxl, one of two Canadians in the main draw, will look to bounce back from a finals loss in Ithaca, New York
Romanian Rady Mihai defeated Draxl in three sets to stop the Canadian from winning back-to-back tournaments
Draxl took home the trophy in the M15 in Albuquerque and the M15 in Champaign
Slightly further down the Saint-Augustin rankings is Juan Carlos Aguilar
the only other Canadian ranked highly in the tournament
Though he has yet to win a tournament in 2023, he came close in July when he made it to the finals of the M15 in Pittsburgh
He wound up coming up just short of taking it all
as Darian King from Barbados dispatched him in three sets
Aguilar and fellow Canadian teammate Benjamin Sigouin join other all-Canadian teams including Dan Martin and Nicaise Muamba as well as Sid Donarski and Junghee You
it was an all-Canadian fight in the finals as Duncan Chan and Keegan Rice defeated Marko Stakusic and Jaden Weekes
TheEglise Saint-Augustin has been under renovation in recent years
and Parisians rediscovered it in a new light at the start of 2018
An opportunity to look back at the history of this church with its rather..
TheEglise Saint-Augustin was built between 1860 and 1871 in a rather strange location for a religious building: at the crossroads of the boulevards Malesherbes and Haussmann
this neighborhood was nicknamed"Little Poland"
It was Napoleon III and Baron Haussmann who reshaped the area
which soon became the bourgeois district we know today
Baltard was no stranger to renovating churches in Paris
but this was his first church-building project
metal was seen as the material of the future
TheEglise Saint-Augustin thus became the first large church built with a metal frame covered by stone
Baltard made no attempt to camouflage the metal - quite the contrary
The structure is not as visible as that of theEglise Notre-Dame-du-Travail
are made of gilded cast iron and adorned withpolychrome angels
All these details give theEglise Saint-Augustin a strange
somewhere between industrial and more classical styles
Baltard chose not to choose: the nave is Romanesque
theEglise Saint-Augustin reflects a Romanesque-Byzantine style to great effect
with its impressive rose window (covered in gold leaf since the latest restoration work) and beautiful frieze
theEglise Saint-Augustin is unlike any other church in Paris
A blend of classical art and modern metalworking techniques
The new temporary Nice Saint-Augustin station has been operational since September 1
to offer travelers optimized connections to various public transport options within a single multimodal exchange hub for smoother traffic flow
The entire modal offer connected to Saint-Augustin station will be ready to welcome 12 million travelers each year
From its opening, Saint-Augustin station will enable interconnection between TER lines, the tramway network, and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport
to the new bus station from 2023 (currently under construction and will have 20 bus lines) and tram line 4
The expansion of the station will accommodate TGV lines by the end of 2028
At the heart of the Grand Arenas international business district
the multimodal exchange hub allows the city of Nice to be the first major city in Europe to offer direct connections between an international airport
will give this exchange hub an opening onto the district
accessible to people with reduced mobility
The new station represents an investment of €19 million and €21 million for the bus station

2020 | DLR sites Sankt Augustin and UlmNew Institute for Artificial Intelligence Security at DLRFocusing on the security of artificial intelligenceDLR will establish an Institute for Artificial Intelligence SecurityImage: 1/1
The new institute will combine DLR’s current activities on the security of artificial intelligence (AI)
AI is considered a key technology for the future
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is planning to set up an Institute of Artificial Intelligence Security at its Sankt Augustin and Ulm sites
This follows a decision taken by the DLR Senate on 3 December 2020
“Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered to be a key technology for the future
the eventual introduction of AI-based technologies into the aeronautics and transport sectors will largely depend on whether they can be reliably proven to have the required level of security,” explains Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla
“With its interdisciplinary expertise and longstanding experience in AI research
DLR is ideally positioned to play a leading role in this field for Germany.”
The new institute, based in North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg, will combine DLR’s ongoing activities in security matters relating to AI
One of the institute’s key focus areas will be the development of methods and algorithms to enable AI to be used safely and reliably in the aeronautics
legal and societal issues will all have a significant role to play in this
The decision to create the institute is subject to a ruling by the German Federal Parliament

The Huma shopping mall in Sankt Augustin has been attracting more customers since two supermarkets opened there.
Manager of the shopping center, Nicolas Simmich is also pleased: "Visitor frequency has shown a positive increase," he says. According to him, the mall recorded an increase in foot traffic of nearly 30 percent over the year as a whole. "This was especially strong at street level, but was clearly noticeable on all floors.”
On the upper floor, one passes by a store with home accessories, a closed store and a nail salon and more closed shops. Those closed shop windows are covered with pictures of stores with cheerful sales clerks and customers.
The existing building from 1977 was replaced by a new building. This took place in two construction phases between 2013 and 2017: first the demolition of the existing building and then the construction of the new shopping center. The first partial opening took place in October 2015 and the complete opening in September 2017.

Saint Louis Augustin talks to Vogue.com about working with Gaultier
How did it feel to appear at Gaultier in Paris this week?I started modeling and working with Jean Paul at the same time
It brings back fun memories of a very special time
and the opening to a larger life that helped make me who I am today
Do you remember the first time you walked for Gaultier?I do
It was the absolutely gorgeous Tibet- or Mongolia-inspired show [of Fall 1994]
and talented Cuban-American hairdresser Orlando Pita
I remember being surprised and amazed at his ability to deal [with] and create with my hair in a very easy way
as someone who hadn’t touched Afro-textured hair [before]
I remember crossing paths with Forest Whitaker in the staircase
I have memories of a very warm and friendly atmosphere
being lost like an Alice in Wonderland among colorful silks as if invited to a party organized in a Mongolian Yurt by exciting
How has the industry changed since you started modeling in the 1990s?Fashion was such a party then
and designers could be troublemakers and anticonformists through their art
many took great pleasure in pushing against the norms
They gave you their own personal story of beauty
their vision of aesthetics in relation to their individual universes and world views
Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano and Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan and Vivienne Westwood and Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons
There was an intensity of aesthetic propositions that kept you awake
Models had strong visual personalities too
I mean if you had me and my mixed Afro-European looks
you could certainly talk about diversity of aesthetics and personalities
I have been away from the heat of the fashion business for a while now so it's hard to feel I can give you the most informed answer
as I came back to live in Paris four years ago I heard often that what had made fashion fun had been lost: [that there is] pressure to produce more
but cut costs; that a type of uniformity had gained ground
That the consequence would be a diminishing space for exploring the creative and individual talent of designers as cultural and social challengers and innovators in general would be a real pity
I have to say that I love seeing the very kitsch and happy show last year of Yazbukey
the Koché presentation by Christelle Kocher done in the street of a working-class Paris district
So I am confident that the happy originals are still out there
I believe that the question of diversity belongs to a much larger conversation than just in the fashion industry of course
The real question for me is what world does the fashion industry—or any business or person—cater to
Project and work for that vision in any way you can
One of my favorite expressions is “Be the change you want to see.” If you think the world you live in right now is great and satisfying as is

Des Moines police arrested a woman Thursday after she reportedly attacked a church deacon
where a woman in the church sanctuary assaulted the deacon
suffered lacerations to his hands and face
Police quickly located Ashley Paige Eckhardt
of Des Moines in the 4300 block of Ingersoll Avenue
Police say she was armed with a butcher knife
Augustin's church said "a seemingly deranged woman attacked one of our deacons with a knife in the chapel."
The woman had been praying while Coan was preparing for ministry to the sick
The woman then approached Coan "making incoherent statements ..
A witness told police the woman was "yelling about the devil," according to a Des Moines police report
Coan was taken to Mercy Medical Center for treatment
Bishop Richard Pates with the Diocese of Des Moines said Coan will require surgery on his hands
"He is thankful for everyone’s support and appreciates everyone’s prayers," Pates said
followed proper protocols for emergency situations while the suspect was still at large
"We are naturally saddened by the violent action in a place of prayer and peace," Pates said in a statement
"The present moment calls for prayer for Deacon Joe's full recovery and for the St
Augustin community shaken by this incident
We also pray earnestly for the alleged perpetrator."
Eckhardt was booked into the Polk County Jail on a $100,000 bond
Frank Breuer and Armin Mathes (from left) open Veloland in Sankt Augustin
Three friends have fulfilled what they say is a long-cherished dream with this shop
runs the garden centre of the same name right next door
He shares a passion for cycling with Joachim Rönn and Armin Mathes
After submitting the plans for their jointly run shop to a management consultant
three years ago they decided to take the plunge
"The audit had shown that it would pay off at this location," says Rönn
This is even though there is a large and well-established competitor in the immediate vicinity
Rönn remarks on the size of the catchment area
the location is easy to reach - the motorway slip road is practically on the doorstep
it is common practice in the retail sector for shops from the same sector to be located next to each other
competitors try to set up shop there as well," explains Rönn
Veloland carries completely different brands than Feld
they turned to the Zweirad-Einkaufs-Genossenschaft (ZEG) for assistance
The cooperative supports its members in all the basics
including purchasing or merchandise management
The three company founders are "Germany's first franchisee of the ZEG brand Veloland"
They are starting with a total of 23 new employees
six of them for the in-store workshop area
we had no problems getting qualified people," Mathes reports
He emphasises that no one was poached from another company; they all applied for the jobs themselves
The three have specialised in their business: they offer advice
sales and workshop services exclusively for e-bikes
everything was ready except for a few minor details
A total of 2400 square metres have been built on
800 square metres of which are used as sales space
The oldest building houses the storage space
the workshop and social rooms for the staff
There is also an underground car park for customers
from junior bikes to mountain bikes and cargo bikes to trekking bikes and so-called urban bikes
the sporty alternative to the classic city bike that is currently all the rage
were waiting for customers on the lower floor on opening day
the first floor offers the necessary accessories such as saddles
There are 800 more bikes in the warehouse that could be sold immediately
The price range for the e-bikes in Veloland ranges from 2500 to 10,000 euros
it's the most important day in their religious calendar
Christians commemorate the resurrection of Jesus
Christ's passage from death to life after his crucifixion
Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the full spring moon
To understand theorigins of the Easter Monday holiday
we need to go back in time to the Middle Ages
It was then that the eight days following Easter Sunday
A week off with masses celebrated every day
during which pilgrims had time to make the round trip to Rome
following the signing of the Concordat between the Pope and Napoleon Bonaparte
Only Easter Monday remained a public holiday
An extra day on the calendar of public holidays in France
This year, Easter Monday falls on April 21, 2025. So, for many, it's a chance to enjoy a long weekend and a great program
Blessed be the buyer who transforms this former convent and rectory into a magnificent single-family home
it’d make a lucrative condominium project or multifamily conversion
But ten bedrooms and seven baths over nearly 9,200 square feet
No such square footage exists in the neighborhood — and
was built in 1955 as a convent to accommodate the Sisters of Mercy
who ran the church’s parochial school
the sisterhood withdrew from the church and the structure served as the parish rectory
it’s being subdivided from the church property into an independent 10,000-square-foot lot
does it fall under lust or envy — or both

Beautiful and sustainable is her goal: Sophie Marie von Eichstedt sells reusable period panties from her office in Hangelar
and their actual purpose is not immediately obvious
is currently conquering a market niche with her period panties
"My goal is to combine sustainability with beautiful design and to strengthen women's self-confidence in order to break the taboo surrounding the topic of periods," the recent business administration graduate tells us about her mission
Sophie Marie von Eichstedt packs the period panties in a small box and makes them ready for shipping
The woman from Hangelar has only been selling absorbent underwear for female menstruation as a sustainable replacement for tampons and pads in her online shop for a few weeks
she has noticed how shameful the subject of menstruation is for many women and how little knowledge there is about the female body and its health
That's why she is not only concerned with selling her product
but also with talking openly about it on her blog
on Instagram or other channels in the social media
"I'm really into the topic right now," the 23-year-old says with a laugh
The period panties are sold via an online shop directly from her office in Hangelar
They are supposed to be as absorbent as up to four tampons
von Eichstedt promises that they are odourless
and are as comfortable as normal underwear
"Many people might think of baby nappies when they think of absorbent period panties or have some negative ideas
but it's also important to me that you don't have to compromise on beauty," she says
That's why she looked at competing products beforehand and thought about what she could improve
"I have never been satisfied with a period product
I have always perceived menstruation as an annoying
uncomfortable and unpleasant time and so I thought: this can be better," says the young entrepreneur enthusiastically
and at the beginning of January von Eichstedt finally founded her company "oh moon“
"Founding a company is not something you just decide to do," she says resolutely
she will probably continue her studies at a university: "I want to do my Master's in International Business in Maastricht," she says of her future plans
she wants to devote all her time to a successful start for "oh moon“
Most of her preparation time was spent looking for a suitable producer
I didn't know at all where and how I could get production
so I had to google myself first," von Eichstedt recalls
she found a producer in Asia who meets all her requirements and with whom she always stays in close contact if changes are desired
"We use pure organic cotton and are Oeko-Tex certified," she says with satisfaction
The certification attests that the panties are free of harmful substances
she would like to expand her portfolio and add more colours or other models to her range
"I am still at the very beginning and first have to gain experience of which shapes and models work well," analyses the young entrepreneur
She has already had her first successes with her online shop: she has already received orders for the period panties from the Black Forest
"It's cool to see that I already have customers I don't know," says von Eichstedt happily
She chose the name "oh moon" for her company after much deliberation: "There is this myth of the moon and periods
Another reason for choosing the brand name was that it is understood internationally
Sophie Marie von Eichstedt deliberately chose not to use the word "period" in the brand name
More than 200 firefighters were involved in the fire in Niederpleis on 18 June
the firefighters of the Niederpleis unit have been back in action
The men and women of the volunteer fire brigade are committed to the safety of Sankt Augustin after the fire that cost the lives of two of their comrades
they are returning to everyday life a little bit," says Sankt Augustin's press spokesman Benedikt Bungarten
the event is of course still a very big issue
"Exactly one month has now passed since the terrible operation
we miss you very much," writes the Sankt Augustin volunteer fire brigade on social media
"The sympathy that continues to be shown to us is still overwhelming
It helps us a lot to deal with the sad situation and to look optimistically into the future," it says there
What started the fire is still unclear at the moment
the head of the investigation team said that it will take another four to five weeks until an expert opinion is available," police spokesman Maximilian Reese explained on Tuesday when asked
it had been said that the police expected results in the course of the coming week
there was talk of an expert opinion being available this week
"It is possible that they are still examining samples," suspects Marco Berger
the owner of the burnt-down motorbike shop
the investigators rule out arson as the cause
the remains of the building will be demolished on Monday
"I hope to then erect a fast-track building on the site by the end of August," the owner said
The volunteer fire brigade had been alerted at 11.18 am on 18 June
A 30-metre high cloud of black smoke stood over the motorbike shop with adjacent workshop
"We immediately gave an alert due to the weather conditions and the size of the building
Then we carried out the fire-fighting measures," Herbert Maur reported the day after
the source of the fire was located and then the extinguishing measures were carried out
"Because the only entrance was in the front area
the extinguishing measures were carried out through this entrance."
More than 200 emergency personnel from surrounding municipalities joined in to extinguish the fire
The deceased were among the first responders to arrive on the scene
The Sankt Augustin fire brigade units were released from the operation early on Sunday evening
The professional fire brigade from Bonn eventually took over to rescue the deceased firefighters from the burnt-out house
When the deceased were taken away during the night
all units of the Sankt Augustin fire brigade stood guard

Customers will find a wide range of sunflower seeds at the Ottomarkt store in Sankt Augustin
International dishes can help alleviate the wanderlust until it’s time to travel
Turkish food is particularly good to buy in Troisdorf and Siegburg
most of which are displayed by the pallet in green baskets outside
"We have the best watermelons," says Albayrak Ugurcan
owner of the store of the same name on Brunnenstrasse in Troisdorf
But he also has other summer fruits like nectarines
In addition to typical Turkish products such as bulgur or pomegranate syrup
there are other international foods in his store
we have various Greek coffees on our shelves," Ugurcan said
there are many types of cheese that are pickled in brine and come from different nations
But also the typical strongly spiced Sucuk can be found in most Turkish food markets
It is a raw sausage made from beef or veal and lamb
This traditional type of sausage has spread from southeastern Europe through Turkey and various Arab countries to the Rhein-Sieg district
Anyone who has ever tried it knows that it has an intense flavor and lots of garlic
Even if the Turkish supermarkets have a different feel than the typical supermarket chains
some people will already be familiar with some of the food products from having been on vacation there
entering the Russian store "Dawai Markt" in Sankt Augustin feels like being in a completely different world
Those who are not familiar with Cyrillic letters will have difficulty deciphering the product names
It helps that the respective products are pictured on most of the packages
a refrigerated counter with packaged sausage and cheese
a service counter with fresh meat and a fish counter
"Pelmeni or also piroshki are very popular with our customers from the former USSR," says Jurij Otto
the owner of "Otto Markt - Russian and International Specialties" on Ankerstrasse in Sankt Augustin
Pelmeni are smaller dumplings filled with minced meat
"We must have 20 different types of Russian dumplings," Otto says
He also has a huge selection of sweets from Russia
Also very popular with his customers he says
are canned vegetables such as tomatoes or cucumbers
the canned products are sold with a lot of vinegar
they make it without vinegar," Otto reports
he is not affected by sanctions due to the tense situation caused by the war
In the "Supermarket Hennef" you really do feel like you're in the faraway Orient: the ever-changing advertising brochures
the products are written almost entirely in intricate Arabic characters
but owner Molem Zakria says in nearly accent-free German
"We not only appeal to Arabic-speaking customers
but also have many Germans who come to shop with us." In general
his clientele is a mix of many nationalities
Zakria himself is Syrian and also sources most of his products from his homeland
He has been running the supermarket since 2021
Anyone who wants to cook their way even further from the Rhine-Sieg district to the Far East will certainly find what they are looking for at one of the two Asian supermarkets in Siegburg
coconut milk or curry paste are the things that are most in demand here," says Tram Phung from the Asia Supermarkt Am Herrengarten
is also popular with her customers for summer rolls
Korean cuisine is also in vogue at the moment
for which many items are sold over the counter
Customers also praise her seasonal goods such as fresh lychees

“Our role in the process will be to deliver the project on behalf of the district council
including the preparing the technical designs
and appointing and working with a contractor.
“As part of our standard process for schemes this size that we forward fund
the improvements will first be put to our Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee for discussion in early March before an official decision is taken and a contractor is appointed.”
funded by South Kesteven District Council’s Grantham Future High Streets Fund
would see up to nine months of major improvements carried out in Grantham’s town centre.
to create an open event space as a focal point for the town
These works are expected to start mid-April for up to five months.
Station Approach improvements will see improvements at the Station Road/A607 junction which will support work by rail company LNER to improve pedestrian access and make the area brighter and more appealing
These works are expected to start early November for up to four months (subject to change).
the portfolio holder for Property and Public Engagement
said: “Putting the Market Place more at the heart of Grantham will improve accessibility and reduce the impact of traffic to enable this area of the town to begin to once again be a vibrant community focal point in the town.
“Enhancing the space provides a huge opportunity to attract people
both locally and from further afield to spend more time enjoying the town
“The new level layout and improved facilities will open up greater possibilities for events and for the Market Place itself to enhance its position as a key community space in the heart of Grantham
“This will result in a better experience for everyone
by increasing the town’s vibrancy through its culture
“Junction improvements at Station Approach will also give the area a real lift and help ease traffic issues at one of the main entrances to the town
“It is vital that we optimise the potential of Grantham town centre and maximise the opportunities there
The FHSF bid received tremendous support from businesses and other organisations
We know there is a genuine passion for the future success of the town
“Grantham has so much going for it: situated on the East Coast Main
the town connects passengers direct to London Kings Cross in just over an hour and Newcastle in two hours
and the final section of the new relief road is currently being built
spaces and infrastructure will boost our economy and provide a better quality of life.”
The funding for both projects is from a successful bid to the Department for Levelling Up
Communities & Local Government which was awarded in April 2021
The aim of the Future High Streets Fund is to renew and reshape town centres and high streets in a way that drives growth
improves experience and ensures future sustainability
The Grantham Future High Street Fund programme is administered by the South Kesteven District Council’s economic development team and is supported by delivery partners
