The state plays a leading role in the distribution of green energy to other regions in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and also produces 8.5 GW of its own onshore wind energy. The federal state wants to be climate-neutral five years earlier than the German national target of 2045. ‘On the one hand, TenneT provides large parts of the critical infrastructure we need. And on the other hand, TenneT is a partner in the development of our own energy policy,' says the Minister. The collaboration between Schleswig-Holstein and TenneT began around 2010, when the AC grid connections between Germany and Denmark were reinforced or newly planned and the first DC sea cable connection with Norway was initiated, followed by the first DC connection to southern Germany In addition to the need for green energy, Tobias also points to climate change and the severe floods that people in his state have faced. ‘So, people here know that we must fight the climate crisis and understand that expanding the power grid is essential for the energy transition.’  The German Minister states that TenneT is open to innovation. ‘TenneT was one of the first TSOs to install protective bird markers on high-voltage lines to reduce bird collisions, for example, and in some circumstances TenneT agreed to use underground cables rather than overhead lines. In these cases, there’s good cooperation based on innovation.’  Looking ahead, the Minister of Schleswig-Holstein sees four major challenges: ‘We must accelerate the creation of renewable energy, minimise conflicts that hinder the expansion of the grid, change the energy market and give industry the opportunity to transform in a way that keeps them here. We can only solve these challenges through cooperation. There is no alternative if we want to be successful.’  How do organizations view the energy transition? Six key partners share insights on technology, policy, and environmental challenges. About the Annual Report 2024How do we secure energy Find out in our Integrated Annual Report 2024 Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article Klaus Groth (born April 24, 1819, Heide, Holstein—died June 1, 1899, Kiel Ger.) was a German regional poet whose book Quickborn (1853) first revealed the poetic possibilities of Plattdeutsch (Low German) 7 (1) of the Double Taxation Treaty between Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America The view of the Tax Court of Schleswig-Holstein can result in a double taxation if the carried interest is also taxed abroad it must be analysed whether foreign tax can be credited or deducted in Germany the judgement has a positive impact on fund managers of German asset-administrating funds domiciled abroad However, the tax treatment of carried interest in cross-border cases has not yet been conclusively clarified to a large extent. The Tax Court of Schleswig-Holstein has now had the first opportunity to decide on the taxation of carried interest in an outbound situation (i.e. fund manager resident in Germany earning carried interest from a U.S. fund) under the relevant Double Taxation Treaty between Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America (“Treaty“). From 2011 onwards, the funds realised profits from the sale of portfolio companies for the first time, which resulted in payments of carried interest to the plaintiff. The German fund managers participated in the carried interest in accordance with the rules on profit distribution at the level of the plaintiff. The facts of the case can be simplified and summarised as follows: Whether the income constitutes other income within the meaning of Art. 21 (1) of the Treaty or capital gains within the terms of Art.13 (5) of the Treaty was left open by the Tax Court of Schleswig-Holstein for lack of relevance to the judgement, as Germany has the right to tax both types of income. Given the fundamental importance of the legal question pertaining to the case, the Tax Court of Schleswig-Holstein authorised the appeal (§ 115 (1), (2) Tax Court Code). In the case of originally commercial partnership funds, the country in which the fund is managed should generally have the right of taxation (possibly pro rata if the fund is managed in several countries). This may require coordination with the foreign tax authorities in order to avoid double taxation.

The Monarchs' roster consists of seven seniors They entered this season tasked with filling the void left by nine seniors from last year's squad "It's just connecting that with the offense and defense we'll see more success as we create chemistry." Sophomore Osvan Diaz totaled four goals in the Monarchs' win over Red Oak Miguel Hernandez and Kevin Sanchez also found the back of the net "We've had some leadership step up," Desy said we're going to be a lot more competitive because we'll see more talent It will be interesting to see how we react to challenges I'm excited to see that because I think we're up for the challenge." Coach Desy wants to see his team improve defensively That effort begins with goalkeeper Sebastian Contreras Contreras has logged six saves and allowed just one goal in 120 minutes "We need to connect that (the defense) with our offense," Desy said "A lot of it is game film and watching our positions I think chemistry and defense will be the key to our success." The Monarchs have a seven-game stretch between games followed by a run of four games in five days They begin that gauntlet on Tuesday against Perry Norwalk (Friday) and Dallas Center-Grimes (Saturday) take care of our bodies and make sure our kids are focused I have no doubts our kids are going to be up to the challenge but that's going to get us ready for the second half of the season."

2A state tournament (Denison) -- The Denison-Schleswig bowling program continues to thrive the girls and boys teams both qualified for state while three individuals on both sides advanced to the individual tournament “It was really exciting to host this year,” Denison-Schleswig head coach Shelby Brawner told KMA Sports “We haven’t hosted since I’ve been coaching Getting that opportunity was a great experience this year and the kids are very excited (to go to state) we got three girls and three boys in individually Everyone is pretty pleased with how they did.” The success started on Monday with the girls team finishing as a district runner-up behind champion LeMars They totaled 2,466 pins and then followed it up with state qualifications for Grace Collins Collins took third with a 565 three-game series Lutz tied for fourth with a 560 and Olson grabbed the eighth and final qualifying position with a 529 “It was just trying to keep up with (LeMars),” Brawner said of the team competition “The lane changes didn’t affect them a whole lot It was great to see how well (we) did and how well they worked together They were there for each other the whole time the Monarchs won the boys district championship with 3,216 pins before carrying the momentum into the individual tournament Ethan Totten grabbed a runner-up qualification with a 695 series and Gavin Schmadeke and Grant Fink were sixth and eighth “We really thought we were going to be battling with Lewis Central and LeMars,” Brawner said of the boys competition and they could have turned the tides against them They could have shot that 175 and been down in the dumps They shot a 200 for the rest of the first set (of Bakers) and from there their energy was unstoppable.” The Class 2A team tournament takes place at Waterloo’s Cadillac XBC on Monday at 3:00 PM The individual tournament is the next morning at 9:00 AM “You really have to pace yourself (at state),” Coach Brawner said “Five Baker games at a time and

32 turnovers and used a big second quarter to pull away for a 56-44 win over the Monarchs (3-20) “It was a hard-fought game,” said Glenwood Head Coach Brian Rasmussen “I thought both teams were trying to win a basketball game in the postseason and I give them a lot of credit because they pushed us to the limit This is the third time we’ve played them this year and I was proud of our girls for doing that.” Glenwood led 9-7 after one quarter and scored 13 of the first 16 points in the second frame extending their lead to as much as 13 before Denison-Schleswig cut it to 10 at halftime The Rams outscored the Monarchs by one point in each of the final two quarters maintaining their advantage to secure the win “I don't know if we played our best basketball tonight I’m super proud of the effort from our side of the floor.” Glenwood’s 2-2-1 press and half-court man-to-man defense caused fits for Denison’s offense all night The Rams tallied 22 steals and forced 32 total turnovers they want to get the ball to the middle of the floor and attack,” Rasmussen explained We did it specifically for this game to make sure they couldn’t get the ball into the middle slowed them down so they weren’t able to get anything easy.” Maggie McChesney led the offense with 16 points “We practiced [the press] a lot before this game Maggie Smith added 11 points and five rebounds Glenwood advances to a Class

led the way for Denison-Schleswig The new strategy now describes the further measures towards the envisaged "digitally sovereign IT workplace" This includes switching to the +1.Linux operating system on the computers This is a distribution that is "suitable and professionally supported for use by the authorities" with a modern Other measures described by the government in the paper include the switch to the open standard ODF (Open Document Format) an open collaboration platform based on Nextcloud and the groupware Open Xchange with email The plan also includes "digitally sovereign basic services specialist procedures" and a matching telephony system called Oskar (open source communication architecture) "The prerequisite for the widespread use of open source products is that the familiar functionalities work reliably with at least the same quality," emphasizes Digital Minister Dirk Schrödter (CDU) "We will make the transition as smooth as possible for employees and support the well-planned migration process with training." The state government is also hoping for improved IT security, lower costs, more data protection and simpler interaction between different systems. The previous black-green-yellow government had set itself the goal of "completely replacing" Microsoft & Co. in 2017 The black-green government backed off somewhat in 2022 The conditions for a changeover could hardly be better now says Schrödter: "The clear trend towards collaborative location-independent working in the cloud offers a unique opportunity to embark on the path to digital sovereignty at a time when a fundamental change in working culture is imminent anyway." Schleswig-Holstein sees the promotion of the regional digital economy as a modern form of industrial policy "Instead of investing our IT funding in license fees we use it to finance development and support contracts," explains Schrödter This strengthens Schleswig-Holstein as a business location overall proprietors of the Iowa Great Lakes microbrewery West O Beer brewed up a special Fat's Finest beer for the 125th anniversary celebration in Schleswig is brewing up a limited run -- 50 cases -- of special-recipe beer for the 125th anniversary of Schleswig will be available at the Oktoberfest-inspired beer garden during the celebration Schleswig has a beer garden annually as part of its annual community celebration but not every year is the quasquicentennial "It's just enough for that weekend," said Matt Matthiesen who along with wife Michaela owns and operates West O Beer We've had several people reach out and say who've been in the craft beer game for more than a decade a town of about 830 founded by German immigrants in 1899 and named after the German state of Schleswig-Holstein Their beer skills were sought out by the organizers of the 125th which is geared as a salute to the town's German heritage The Fat's Finest name is a nod to Fat's Place a now-demolished bar and longtime Schleswig mainstay at the corner of Cedar and Second Street The bar was operated beginning in 1973 by the late DeWayne Sonksen who went by the sobriquet "Fat." Fat's Place was a rather typical small-town bar of its time Schleswig is celebrating its 125th anniversary in September everybody knew him as Fat," said Jodi Bruhn co-chair of the Schleswig 125th celebration committee we knew where we could find our parents."
