Mechernich: Zum 10. Mal Retro-Veranstaltung „ZeitBlende“
Thursday, August 2, 2018Gäste in bereitgestellten Flower-Power-Kostümen räkeln, ganz so wie in der Werbung einer deutschen Cola-Marke, die damals für Furore sorgte. Aber auch zum kräftigen Mitsingen von Hits der Zeit sind die Gäste eingeladen.
„Wir suchen Zeitzeugen, die aus dem Jahr berichten möchten, vor allem diejenigen, die die 1968er-Proteste selbst erlebt und vielleicht sogar mitgestaltet haben, wünscht sich Dr. Michael H. Faber vom LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern, der die Retro-Veranstaltung zum zehnten Mal organisiert: „Aus dem Publikum formieren wir eine Demonstrantengruppe, die mit Parolen-Bannern durch die Veranstaltung zieht. Wir zeigen sogar einen Polizei-Wasserwerfer aus der Zeit.
Rund zweihundert Oldtimer werden erwartet, die 1968 im Straßenbild zu sehen waren. Nachmittags werden die alten Schätze im Korso durch das Freilichtmuseum fahren. Wieder gibt es auch den historischen Campingplatz, der von Jahr zu Jahr größer wird.
Aber schon ab 12 Uhr und sonntags ab 11 Uhr geht es auf der großen Bühne bunt zu. Mit der politisch-gesellschaftlichen Satire-Tanzrevue „Treibt Bonn den Notstand aus starten Beate und Kai-Ingo Weule das Programm.
Samstagnachmittags folgen musikalische Leckerbissen: Marion La Marché und ihre „Buried Alive Blues Band widmen der Rock-Legende Janis Joplin eine Hommage, danach erinnert die „Formation Sissi A. an die legendäre Band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Sonntags sind, nach dem Riesenerfolg auf der ZeitBlende im letzten Jahr, nochmals „The Doors in Concert aus den Niederlanden zu erleben.
Auch das gastronomische Angebot entspricht dem Zeitgeschmack. Serviert wird, was damals auf den Speisekarten stand. Darüber hinaus gibt es Cocktail- und Milchbar, Muckefuck und selbst angesetzte Bowle in der Bauernküche und Schaschlik an der historischen Imbissbude.
ZeitBlende 1968
Samstag, 18. August, 12 bis ca. 21.00 Uhr
Sonntag, 19. August, 11 bis ca. 19.00 Uhr
Für Kinder und Jugendliche unter 18 Jahren ist der Eintritt frei.
Ebenso für alle Gäste, die in zu 1968 passender Kleidung (nicht Karnevalskostüm!) erscheinen. Abbildung: Oldtimerkorso durch das Freilichtmuseum (Fotos: Hans-Theo Gerhards/LVR).

Germany's second-highest traffic bridge opens - DW (English)
Sunday, January 26, 2020Mosel River in western Germany. Within Germany, the new bridge in the Rhineland-Palatinate is second only to the 185-meter-high Kochertal bridge in the southern state of Baden-Württemberg. Read more: World's longest pedestrian suspension bridge opens in Germany's Harz region Authorities expect about 25,000 vehicles a day to cross the bridge that now provides a direct link between the regions of Eifel and Hunsrück. Several hundred people gathered for the bridge's opening on Thursday. Over the weekend, thousands of pedestrians crossed the bridge by foot as part of the opening festivities. "Today is a good day for the Rhineland-Palatinate," said State Premier Malu Dreyer. She added that she was convinced "that the bridge will help advance our economically strong state even further and will strengthen ties between the people in Eifel and Hunsrück." Europe's largest construction project The controversial building project kicked off eight years ago. Some critics argued that the massive bridge would destroy the area's idyllic vineyard landscape, while environmentalists argued it would pollute the ground water. Others spoke out against the cost. The building of the bridge was part of a greater road project that included the construction of an additional 25 kilometers (16 miles) of federal highway. The total project is estimated to havecost €483 million ($535 million), with €175 million dedicated to the bridge alone.

The Pesticide Industry's Playbook for Poisoning the Earth - The Intercept
Sunday, January 26, 2020The study produced results that echoed what the Americans had found.
Drifting clouds of neonicotinoid dust from planting operations caused a series of massive bee die-offs in northern Italy and the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany. Studies have shown neonicotinoids impaired bees’ ability to navigate and forage for food, weakened bee colonies, and made them prone to infestation by parasitic mites.
In 2013, the European Union called for a temporary suspension of the most commonly used neonicotinoid-based products on flowering plants, citing the danger posed to bees — an effort that resulted in a permanent ban in 2018.
In the U.S., however, industry dug in, seeking not only to discredit the research but to cast pesticide companies as a solution to the problem. Lobbying documents and emails, many of which were obtained through open records requests, show a sophisticated effort over the last decade by the pesticide industry to obstruct any effort to restrict the use of neonicotinoids. Bayer and Syngenta, the largest manufacturers of neonics, and Monsanto, one of the leading producers of seeds pretreated with neonics, cultivated ties with prominent academics, including vanEngelsdorp, and other scientists who had once called for a greater focus on the threat posed by pesticides.

“Position the industry as an active promoter of bee health, and advance best management practices which emphasize bee safety,” noted an internal planning memo from CropLife America, the lobby group for the largest pesticide companies in America, including Bayer and Syngenta. The ultimate goal of the bee health project, the document noted, was to ensure that member companies maintained market access for neonic products and other systemic pesticides.The planning memo, helmed in part by Syngenta regulatory official John Abbott, charts a variety of strategies for advancing the pesticide industry’s interests, such as, “Challenge EPA on the size and breadth of the pollinator testing program.” CropLife America officials were also tapped to “proactively shape the conversation in the new media realm with respect to pollinators” and “minimize negative association of crop protection products with effects on pollinators.” The document, dated June 2014, calls for “outreach to university researchers who could be independent validators.”
The pesticide companies have used a variety of strategies to shift the public discourse.
“America’s Heartland,” a PBS series shown on affiliates throughout the country and underwritten by CropLife America, portrayed the pollinator declines as a mystery. Onea href="https:/...https://theintercept.com/2020/01/18/bees-insecticides-pesticides-neonicotinoids-bayer-monsanto-syngenta/
'Flower Power': Photovoltaic cells replicate rose petals: Scientists increase the efficiency of solar cells by replicating the structure of petals - Science Daily
Tuesday, August 20, 2019Scientists at the KIT and the ZSW (Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg) now suggest in their article published in the Advanced Optical Materials journal to replicate the outermost tissue of the petals of higher plants, the so-called epidermis, in a transparent layer and integrate that layer into the front of solar cells in order to increase their efficiency.
First, the researchers at the Light Technology Institute (LTI), the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), the Institute of Applied Physics (APH), and the Zoological Institute (ZOO) of KIT as well as their colleagues from the ZSW investigated the optical properties, and above all, the antireflection effect of the epidermal cells of different plant species. These properties are particularly pronounced in rose petals where they provide stronger color contrasts and thus increase the chance of pollination. As the scientists found out under the electron microscope, the epidermis of rose petals consists of a disorganized arrangement of densely packed microstructures, with additional ribs formed by randomly positioned nanostructures.
In order to exactly replicate the structure of these epidermal cells over a larger area, the scientists transferred it to a mold made of polydimethylsiloxane, a silicon-based polymer, pressed the resulting negative structure into optical glue which was finally left to cure under UV light. "This easy and cost-effective method creates microstructures of a depth and density that are hardly achievable with artificial techniques," says Dr. Guillaume Gomard, Group Leader "Nanopothonics" at KIT's LTI.
The scientists then integrated the transparent replica of the rose petal epidermis into an organic solar cell. This resulted in power conversion efficiency gains of twelve percent for vertically incident light. At very shallow incidence angles, the efficiency gain was even higher. The scientists attribute this gain primarily to the excellent omnidirectional antireflection properties of the re...https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160624110028.htm
