garden for self-catering: The DUO raised bed

Dear Friends Panama,

hardly an expatriate does not think about it, to be supplied with vegetables from the garden when he emigrated. Without a doubt, are also their own experiences of earlier years from the garden bear. But in the tropics it is a little different, actually as easy and is the total income and the income, if you look at the climatic conditions and adapting uses them, bigger, better and more all year round.

enough in my experience for each person an area of 10 m2 to constantly eat fresh vegetables from the garden can, after the traditional soil planting, seen here in the rest nowhere. Who creates the following described DUO raised bed with compost needs, per person can be expected only 4m2 to 5 m2 and harvesting under these climatic conditions here more than it can consume.

Who would like to create a garden, as he knows him from his old home, must face some pitfalls. In particular, is not calculable to get to grips with monsoon rain, if not everything has to be washed away. So you have to, if you do not want to chance that cover the garden from rain (eg, PVC corrugated sheets, transparent or not) and even water, but that is not well regarded as work. Advantage over earlier: With the heat you can not no problem, of course with the lush growth bend down, a thing of the past. Incidentally, even for novices who have never had a garden, easy to operate.

There is also the option to create a raised bed, so that the excess Eliminates stooping. Now, a raised bed is basically nothing new. The best on the market model is the raised bed Ursula an Austrian manufacturer. Below, I give you the link, you can watch it in the video. I do not have this patch developed, invented 20 years ago so to speak. But everyone can rebuild it, so more details here.

Such a raised bed (in my DUO method), combines the advantage of raised beds with a large composter. I was already in Spain in the 80s, but in the local latitude, the yield much larger. The base connects this border while the eco-Gärtonne with the overlying vegetable patch, an organic compost that will do the tasks themselves, you only have to top up waste.

Now I'm not a great artist, so I must verbalizing everything and hope I'll understand (maybe there's someone who can make those sketches?). Here the first section of such a high-beds of compost..

(drawing from those interested in this brilliant flower bed can write to me.

The Duo-Bed will soon be offered as Fertigbeet and then can be obtained also. Price on request)

the structure seen here. In the lower part of logs are placed, keep the venue for many years the rotting process (by year by adding new openings provided). Three plastic tubes with a diameter of 20 cm are in the middle in the bed to the bottom edge of the turf and up about 30 cm into the open. They are used to fill the daily waste and a Lid is kept closed. I think we understand the rest of the function and structure.

The lightweight roof that will keep the rain can, on days when no rain is expected to be folded or rolled up. Such beautiful plastic plates, as in the raised bed Ursula are good here, nothing that would heat the interior too large, the plants would burn. At best, I am thinking about it, set up a wire mesh protective case curved to keep the coal fly and other pests to .

On the way into the Northland we have stocked up in Kaiwaka leckerstem with cheese, unfortunately a bit expensive at $ 120, -/kg. For dinner we had a cheese plate in the Little Earth Lodge in Whangarei. The LEL is a stylish and newly refurbished hostel in beautiful surroundings with explorable caves on foot outside the door. The hostel is also active dog to use as "Caveguide, only here he seems to have suspected The caves are full of water. Above the caves, it was also quite nice: there is the aptly called Rock Forest.

Stone Forest

Near Whangarei, we have made a Walk, a Kauri forest led to the "most FotoGenic" declared waterfall.

So we hang the waterfall pictures and tired, from now
's rainbows!

went from here `s on to Paihia, where we chartered a sailboat to explore the Bay of Islands. In summer the place is totally crowded, now in the winter, nothing's wrong, even though the temperatures were still quite summery and suitable for swimming (German equivalent: December 6).

we start with a twist: white rainbow on calm sea.

Our ship, the Honfleur, the Mark schwommte his rounds.

A large group of dolphins joined to our boat and came very close.

the sailing trip ended in Russell. This is the first city in New Zealand, then decried as an absolute hell hole, pirates nest and refuge for all sorts of broken lives.

The pier by Russell today.

Russell, accordingly, the hotel is home to the most ancient pubs permission (No. 1), where we took a bite us and inadvertently included in the French club were. Of Roland Club meets every Thursday in front of the fireplace, so exactly where we were two clueless and suddenly were kindly welcomed in French. One of the ladies had even studied in Mainz and lived for a while.

We went through the supposedly world's best Fish & Chips Shop in Mangonui (actually quite good) and the 90 Mile Beach (actually rather 88km) to Cape Reinga. The beach is part of the official road network of New Zealand, but with caution, many backpackers here involuntarily takes leave of his car. Every now and then dip it then as a rusty old memories again.

We have trusted us with nice 3D clouds :-)

More importantly, however, the second to Mark Visit to Cape Reinga. The first was rained off and the visibility was zero. This time we were lucky! At Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of New Zealand's unofficial walk back the souls of the deceased in the underworld and the nature offers a unique spectacle: The meeting of two oceans (the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea). A beautiful lighthouse rounds the whole thing and the approach is no longer difficult to tackle: the entire route is paved recently.

The Lighthouse

In the middle you see the coming together of the seas. Stayed

we have at the Italian Soccer Guy! Which carries the beautiful Kahoe Farm Hostel and bakes the best pizza on request, make pasta, is a total Fußballnarr owns and reasonably intelligent-looking pigs. He will host the annual first football game in the world and offers good soccer playing backpackers free room and board, if they play for a while in his team.

Love from Ruby.

We do after the visit to the region and by application only visitable, but recommended whale museum again in the south. The route takes us now on the other side of the Northlands down to Hokianga Harbour, where Christine takes up her first trip with the car on a ferry.

all a little small for our car, which is itself a ship.

Unfortunately, there is the San Marco Hostel in Opononi not known, the former hosts are still visiting and be happy if the memory is hazy. We stay in Omapere and break the next day with the ferry to the huge sand dune to sand boarding on and explore.

Krasses sand tobogganing!

After a long walk finally arrived on the dune.

Stapfing to the top ...

afternoon it goes into the Kauri forest. The giant trees are very impressive. The largest living Kauribaum is about 2000 years old and after the Maori god Tane Mahuta named. Tane Mahuta is one of the children of Rangi and Papa (Heaven and Earth), which were wrapped tightly up their children in the dark until Tane pushed them apart and thus created the modern world. Tane is about 52m is not the tallest tree in the world but because of the special form of the kauri trees certainly one of the most impressive. It is said that another local leader, but know more secret Kauri. Something
further away is the zweitgößte Kauribaum (Father of the Forest), which because of its larger size (16.5 m) is even more impressive. In its vicinity are the Four Sisters, four kauri trees, which stand together very closely. After their visit we had to hurry and have just escaped the storm yet.

Good old Tane!

On the way back we visited another Kauri Museum in Matakohe. A Must-See! Here you can see how big some of the cowries were felled. In contrast, takes Tane from quite small.

The second black ring corresponds to the root of Tane.

Complete kauri logging history is more than clear and sometimes presented very loving. One can almost touch everything, and much is reproduced with models or in real and moving. Wood panels of all possible species that pass through the entire museum, at least for those interested is a real highlight. And who wants to can take for $ 10 a small kauri. In only about 2000 years ago is likely to impress the descendants then. In Mark age a Kauri looks like this:

Both born in 1979!

The last stop, almost back in Auckland, leads us to Piha - a more than famous surfing beach with the Lions Rock. The waves are powerful and very dangerous act. In the Piha Rescue own reality TV show that is being filmed on the beach, we can not play, unfortunately, we had to throw into the water and save to make. On this beach there is the most deadly accidents in New Zealand.

is now clear where the name comes Lions Rock, right?

This is the end of last summer impression we could enjoy again, and we are moving back towards the south and it is much colder.

rain, temperatures and mosquitoes

I'll post you what I've written about this topic to asker:

continuous rain does not exist. It is known to be harsh on the Caribbean coast the climate is, the colonization of much thinner, but I can only report hearsay, because there hardly anyone want to go. Have a look a map of Panama, because not everyone knows the coasts.

The Pacific coast is densely populated and the climate is far more pleasant. As for rain general terms, I really wanted to write this here it rains in the morning and never just this morning I experienced the first time: a rain early in the morning so it started at 8 clock. And that lasted unusually long, about 1 1 / 2 hours, but he was not violent, according to a German rain, as we know it.

Normal there is, with such exceptions, always in the afternoon, if at all, and then it rains mostly between 14-16 Clock, usually violently, usually 10 minutes to half an hour. Wonderful, I enjoy that!

The difference between the lower-lying country (such as at sea level) to Boquete / Chiriqui is that there are so 2 times weekly rates (in winter, June to October), in Chiriqui it rains more often general, especially in Boquete almost every day and there are also more small earthquakes. Boquete lies at an altitude of about 1,000 meters and has a milder climate (16-28 ° C annual average). The area is preferred by the American retirees, therefore there are also the prices for everything, you pay twice as much as here in the lowlands. Also a preferred area is Antón, from the valley Valle de Antón , about 150 km from Panama.

are In the lowlands, temperatures average between 24-26 ° C at night, by day 28 ° C to 32 ° C, in the middle of my barometer almost always around 28-29 ° C, usually in the morning at 26 ° C with a humidity of 60-80%, the same evening. But temperatures should not be seen as absulut size, critical the winds (wind chill, see Wikipedia) and the humidity.

runs with me always a fan (the house) when I'm sitting on the terrace, I need some wind (breeze), if it is to be pleasant, because strong winds are barely here, storms I never seen, known severe weather, as in Europe, it is not here. At night I have a small air conditioner in the bedroom, but the point of hardly sufficient for even a ventilator at night and fans need little power (50W / h), but without at least a ventilator at night is not it pleasant.
What I lack is a swimming pool, but that's another story, I'm going to have a To build because it is very pleasant moments when one is several times a day to jump in. can (and healthy).


course, that you do not need hot water for baths and showers, which would be a significant expense. And how often one takes a shower a day, is individual, most people here once a day. It is primarily for the refreshment.

Now for the mosquitoes. The normal mosquitoes are far more rare here than in Spain for example, in my experience, flying less than in Germany. But even robbed a mosquito in the bedroom one night. So I think it is this: The first year I had as a rookie undefiled a mosquito net, but I was not really cause a nuisance, even though locals (in the country) have such a Moscitera often. Then I slept long time without Moscitera, but was bitten by the mosquitoes at night, which pleased my body not in the beginning, but later stitches, my body will hardly registered.
I do it now as my neighbor Just before bedtime I inject a little fly spray, a compromise, since then absolute silence. In the evening I put out once in a smoke-tip, do not accept the beasts also (I do it but also because I love the smell). You must also know that a fly or mosquito no breeze may, therefore, never staying with fans running to carry as little in cool air conditioning.

Returning to the roofs, you will see for yourself when you come to Panama that night (illuminated) terraces are widely used because it is cooler and more comfortable outside than inside (if you will not necessarily television). And then look at the light sources to immediately notify the geckos. I will, for example by burning a 5 Watt bulb at night, I see no flies or mosquitoes as well, but always present are 1-2 geckos.
No, no escape into the house because many or too many mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and flies - and I emphasize it again - here are very few and not a pest. Who says such things, talking nonsense. a fly-wire lining the outside, but no one here but I will try again: A good suggestion I'll check it out at my new house is even.

As for the dengue mosquito concerned that there is, of course, my neighbor, I asked after today, because this really is not something else, she has described to me exactly, but it has not yet seen, except in pictures. But the risk is small, because this guy looks for pools or standing water bodies (standing water reservoirs, so bucket of water or moist plant pots. Ponds are to be avoided and therefore to be avoided and if Here's a puddle somewhere, forms the same day authorities are quick to the point, which must immediately be corrected and avoided.

the way: There are Vorbeugeinjektionen against it, but I myself have not paid any prevention ever, even in Spain and not because the mosquito problem is relatively large and uncomfortable. Do not make everyone like me.

marriage and Residencia

has Anonymous said ...
Very instructive. Which really means in other words, if you're married to a Panamanian / Panamesin one has right to live, right?
And if you can separate it, then how is the situation?

this comment I once moved here to post the answer, because an interesting topic in the context of possible immigration. And certainly there are still questions about that later, so please write to me then.

Basically, a marriage in Panama for a foreigner is nothing in the way, not even the passport is to be submitted, because it will require an ID card, you must be 18 and not allowed to be HIV positive. Further details, as in Germany certainly necessary in such instance is when a part of foreigners, I do not know, such must not be presented here.
The couple goes to the notary who takes two witnesses, and they married. The certificate is proof that one is married.
As far as the formal act .



There are two types of marriage: 1 love marriage and 2 Form of marriage. What is the will, I will explain shortly.
need to love match It probably no further comment, at least in formal terms, but a Panamesin a woman (I speak of the European men) is certainly believe we Europeans who have married such a woman, is always preferable, and not the worst choice for men who ever had bad luck earlier, to put it very mildly. Panamesinnen stand on such men, age differences are virtually negligible, only in passing, I will not digress. However, I can because of my years of experience here a lot to say, yes, very much, especially since I already know very well both mentalities. But that is not here.

But the form of marriage, you guessed it surely must be something more accurate to say. There are not meeting many reasons why those who seek men (also women), the immigration requirements to Panama. But who is engaged to a Panamesin has, after marrying a Residencia, an unlimited residence permit, he can not be expelled against their will.


That is, his marriage must be provided by the corresponding marriage certificate in order to also get a Panamanian identity card in other words, who wants to obtain a formal marriage without love, the residence status. The pass formally declared his unlimited residence permit. Now

will not bind everyone, it could still find something better .... Joking aside. One marriage and a few days later can be divorced. The woman who allows these two acts would be paid to what everyone understands, but it is within the scope and affordable. You pay a fee for marriage and the other for divorce. Possible doubt, " but if that is not more then a divorce can , you can safely leave aside because of marriage anyway hardly any right can be derived, as already is a fee (for divorce) is much more important.

Such an approach, while accepting the law in this form before (no law provides for such a thing), but it is also the law and nothing in the way is perfectly legal, as I explained my legal friends. In addition is also clear that there is no proof of such an act, it is free will, which the bridal couple (marriage) has, or the couple (divorce) has. Logical that both acts are not illegal acts.

I could write here at this point almost novels, but because of the wealth of individual facts and circumstances, I leave it at times this information.

So now you ask me, if you further want to know. I'm sure no expert, but I know the relevant legal experts who give me any information. Even so, I can help you then, confidentiality is of course ......

No extradition to Germany

Germany, Germany, far more than anything! Persecuted German retirees may be enjoying the sunny Panama Retirement further to the fullest!

Hans Borchert: No extradition to Germany

emigration as a retiree with nothing but obstacles: The first obstacle was presented to him a small pension in the way it amounts to € 765, slightly less than the equivalent of $ 1000US, which are required to get in Panama Residencia (permanent residence). He fought successfully against the German pension insurance, his pension would also cut off because he had emigrated. And then the sharpest: a career horny German prosecutor appeared on the scene.

Resident But without his, he did not want to live in Panama, after all, he was migrated: "I this sh .. ss Germany will never again see " which outraged.

But it was my whole plan: put the German authorities after him: car tax evasion, illegal parking in the repeated event and did not appear as an invited witness before a court (facts: witness in neighborhood dispute his former neighbors of clear opposite).

, everything was high-rocked, as Borchert had fought with brash statements and the wrath of demigods in black fanned arrest in Germany, Interpol has also turned to the goal: Immediate arrest and extradition to Germany. "all a lie," says Borchert , "at this point I no longer was in Germany. "

The Erfurt pensioners Hans Borchert * (71), had made himself at home in Panama, and after a short time Panamesin married, which is in Panama with a notarial act in a few minutes on the stage . The love was Another lucky in his otherwise not resulted in effective pension marriage for permanent residence, because it is not the amount of benefits critical. But, the most pious can not live in peace, when an envious Attorney in Germany (the person) do not like ...

cried So that when it was known in Germany, where he now lives, the resentment and envy of a German prosecutor on the scene, namely the state attorney Frank Erdt, Gera who doggedly pursued the pensioner and finally ordered his immediate arrest and extradition . No way, decided the Tribunal de Distrito (such as: court) in Panama. Here, Panama, this is not Germany, the tenor of the court.

The judges were, first, that a misdemeanor or a German tax evasion in Panama does not justify a delivery and no crimes were, illegal parking, as delivery is certainly not a reason. Even if he had been called as a witness in Germany and this event either of time or cost reasons, also taking into account the amount his pension, had not noticed was that no crime.

The immediate arrest was, according to the court in the case of Hans Borchert under Panamanian law already prohibited, for persons over 70 years of age shall not under Panamanian law be taken into custody, forbidding the law and respect for human dignity. (The are here Panama much further in the criminal law in Germany, note of the commentator )

addition would be added that there is no spouse, who is married to a Panamanian, shown against his will from the country or extradited may be, independent of a possible crime. This reason alone, would have the judges, led to the non-extradition. pouts

While the prosecutor Frank Erdt from Gera, Hans Borchert enjoys his new life in the sun of Panama as a free and respectable man " Behind it only envy this attorney. Such envious believe outright that they are the state itself and that other states would have to meet their selfish, personal vendetta prosecution, that would be even better. I thank God that I no longer live in this police state must . The considerable costs of the proceedings shall, as always, the German tax payer.

plays here and there makes

It occurs very often the question in readers' letters, how to time half in Europe and half can live in Latin America, for example, to spend the summer in Europe spend May to August (with heat and sun guarantee) and the European winter in Latin America, ie September to April. Although this is complicated at first sight (for some), but still quite possible feasible. As this occurs consistently as a question, I will briefly highlight one recent letters.

half here, half there, or Me in homes on the road ?

The ideal solution would obviously be the years of division and half in Europe, half provided in Latin America, it comes only as a retired (or otherwise financially independent) and would also like to do anything extra, at least not something which requires constant presence, either in Europe or in Panama. Then you are in the European winter here, summer is here. It also requires double the organization. All proposals based on: No heating costs to fall, low power consumption, no winter clothing is required. This saves considerable costs. The cost of meals we want to leave out of time approach.

to remember is that one from Germany, for example, not so easy for a half may adopt year, even if you are not great ties and obligations therein, then drives the German bureaucracy with their security and puts your beautiful flowers abroad with issues that they will only meet with further trouble. In Panama six months or longer are not, is the easy part.

One must remember that one, too has obligations in two places when you talk, for example, in both places have a house or wants to keep rented. There are several ways to solve the problem, or let's say to be solved with compromise. And there are some interesting ideas and thoughts that I would like to discuss here.

It has, for example, year-round a room or apartment in Europe. This is something everyone figure out, what that costs. The same applies to the time in Panama, when rents drop by here as a rule only the rent of which are between 150-250US $. Once a month, but should be a regular cleaning and ventilation, what is going on without problems and without additional costs, because the mentality is not the same as Europe, where everyone thinks only in money and count categories.

But there are alternatives. You buy a caravan with which to get there twice a year and leaves her. This solves almost all problems, provided in Germany Life is about 4-5 months in such homes because of regulations and parking facilities at all possible. In Panama, this is no problem at all, even the stand and the rent is negligible. We must therefore ausrechen whether the financially challenged and whether they will hold out but the tight relationship over time.

A home on the road, around the world .

Another suggestion comes from an Austrian friend who wants to perform in a short time to come. He wants to be a 20 foot container (name: 20FT Container 32m3-22 t), used, cheap buy and set it as a small home, what you can do yourself anyway, possibly with the help of friends. Such a container corresponds with an area of 5,90 m x 2.35m a small apartment. That is about 14 m2, practical only for kitchen and bathroom as a permanent installation.

An additional, variable-to-install external design of robust control and roof panels brings an additional 48 m2, which are stored during transportation inside the container, so that a goodly land available of approximately 62 m2 is (one can even , Imagine how big will be everything outside). There

Used Containers start at 1,290 euros. See here:

http://www.containerpoint.de/gebrauchte_seecontainer/gebrauchte_seecontainer.html

http://www.hood.de/auction/36637259/seecontainer-lagercontainer-container- sh-from geseke.htm

http://www.container-cms.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Grundriss-von-CMS-Container-2.pdf

That is a viable habitat, for we must always remember that the use throughout the summer (in both places) takes place, so the whole year and we are indeed in the summer anyway prefer staying outside than inside, so outside of the 60 m2 of floor space. Whether such a thing, however, may draw on some private property in Germany for 4-5 months, I venture to doubt the German rules, probably not possible. I heard in Switzerland, would also be possible, in Spain and France, as in Holland or Belgium, there is such a temporary list also no problems. Here in Panama problem, with no approval and installation costs, and without any rent. You have to combine it with even the possibility to choose the most beautiful place (mountains, sea, plains) and put your home at short notice to any other place.

wanders So said container, fully furnished, two times a year over the big pond. They are virtually the cost of comparatively attributable rent because they are not so incurred. Comfortable addition, you have everything set up, you download an additional low-cost canned (no additional transport costs) and lives in a familiar and set up at home. And you can practically with the containers around the home World travel! Do you love to be reckoned with by themselves.

somebody makes the suggestion that the larger container (40GP container 67m3-27t) to take the floor area of 12mx 2.30m, with the note, then could the car with you, because the extra freight costs were lower in all cases to rent for months as a car on site. Aggravating this is that we would have an additional space and freight costs for container doors were not material. Not bad, even a useful idea!

Another Variant of the double housing is maintained to a furnished room or apartment in D, all year round with all the personal things, but it also pays year-round rental. Where you live then 4-5 months in summer. It is also advantageous if one wants to Germany between times, is always the apartment (room) freely available. Rent In Panama, something all year, I've already described.

Another friend of the small furnished room in D (retired couple) who wants to build a small house with 120 m2 and also with small built apartment for the financial assistance (or the gardener) who live there all year and get a free tip every month in addition. Everything is open all year under the authority and is also maintained. I have this variant, calculated costs so ready to 80,000 €. I can also find this a very cheap one Variante.Vielleicht edrwägen a combination with my "Tip of the Month".

I want a little feedback, suggestions, ideas and suggestions to improve the ideas yet. Thank you.

The department store with Mietsorgen

The reorganization of the department store chain Karstadt appears with the bid award to Nicolas Berggruen settled, the negotiations are over, the rents continue to apply.

Lutz Getzschmann

Published in: Jungle World, 06/17/2010

http://jungle-world.com/artikel/2010/24/41133.html

On Tuesday of last week's rescue of the Karstadt department store chain has announced. The insolvency manager Klaus Hubert Görg beamed. to "We have a magnifying glass after the substance sought in this company, but we found nothing significant,"

new owner of the chain Nicolas Berggruen,: Ten months ago he had a rather bleak picture of the location of the Arcandor Group drawn. a German-American financial investor rather creative blank, it was reported frequently about the origin and mentality in the past few days. He ought to be a dandy, a man driven by a patron in search of a social mission.

The department store, an anachronism? Freia of Gostromski offers modernity with their mom and pop shop already half a century the forehead. Why should the Karstadt not succeed? (Photo: PA / AP / ST / Ronald Bonß)

Berggruen plans by his own admission, get the department store chain as possible and to secure jobs. A redevelopment concept is to decentralize are to open the store managers greater scope to decide. The needs of regional customers to take more account of the range should be designed accordingly. Berggruen has announced it will invest 240 million euros from its own funds to make the Karstadt stores more attractive. Even the houses are to be glamorous.

Whether such a strategy is, however, is questionable. First, the traditional department store is actually on the way out, shopping centers and department stores division have him run out in many areas of the place. Reinforced this downward trend by Internet shops. Although sales made in the Internet mail order last year, only four percent of total retail sales from, but the growth rates are enormous.

One problem is the tarnished not only for the Karstadt chain, including her rival Kaufhof is struggling with declining sales. In view of this structural crisis of the Saarbrücken economist Joachim Zentes promoted media attention, the merger of Kaufhof and Karstadt "to a" German department store AG. It assumes that there is only a department store in Germany to survive there. Zentes bases his reasoning primarily on their own investigations showing that will forfeit the urban department stores by 2015 from about 40 to 50 percent market share.

Such a merger seems to be now but a distant memory. The attempt to get rid the Metro Group, Kaufhof stores profitably in this way is thus also postponed for now. To allow a merger had to Berggruen also the real estate consortium bid on High Street and eventually pulled the short straw. Without the option of a department store AG could now delay the Metro last forced separation of Kaufhof. Potential buyers such as Blackstone and Permira are likely to re-evaluate their bids once suspected Jürgen Elfers, an analyst at Commerzbank.

Berggruen rather general work commitments and often rumored allegation that he received the main reason the contract because he had demanded as the only potential buyer is not a victim of the employees let him over his rather opaque bidders, the High Street Consortium and the private equity firm Triton look nice. Nevertheless, should the long-term employees are demanded new victims. It is expected that the agreed standards will be further reduced. The pressure to increase the rate of profit is too great and the opportunity to be favorable, for fear for the jobs could make the councils into submission. This is clearly illustrated by the example of the Kaufhof department store group, where in April the Executive Committee of the General Works an "alliance for employment guarantee" offered, which includes, among other things an increase in weekly working time 37.5 to 42 hours - without compensation. Despite a slight decline in sales Kaufhof succeeded in the past financial year to generate increasing profits. The management does try to exploit the situation for the competition, arguing Karstadt went through the reorganization agreement and tax breaks cost advantages, the need Kaufhof as well.

Regardless of such possible consequences for the employees floats but still the threat of the destruction of the chain. As part of the excitement about the new investor could be the salvation of Karstadt be a little has been announced prematurely. The conclusion of the contract of sale with Berggruen is conditional agreement with the real estate consortium High Streets bound - that very consortium against the Berggruen had only last week set by the Takeover Poker. In 2007, the then Arcandor CEO Thomas Middelhoff, 86 sold a total of 120 properties in Karstadt High Street, specifically to suspicious unfavorable conditions for Karstadt. Last year, the deal led to the initiation of an investigation.

pay Under existing contracts must Karstadt this year 268 million euros rent for the houses that are owned by High Street. The landlord is willing to reduce that amount in 2010 to 210 million, Berggruen but calls for further rent reductions. Behind High Street is the U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs, which holds a 51 percent stake in the consortium, other partners are the German and Italian companies Borletti Bank, Generali and Pirelli. The consortium is aware of its key role of course aware of the Karstadt department reorganization and occurs accordingly.

that the rent for Karstadt to the existence question illustrates the attitude of the Essen district court. On Thursday last week, it postponed its decision on the bankruptcy plan at 16 July, on the grounds that they wanted the talks to the Berggruen Karstadt landlord consortium Wait.

Come and help grow the only republic in NZ!

on this adventurous journey we are sometimes just become citizens of the Republic of Whangamomona and have undertaken to diligently smile (pretty hard when you travel through New Zealand happy ;-) Every two years here, Independence Day is celebrated. The village is home to thirty soul then thousands of visitors, will be competitive in Possumhäuten and pigs wearing. Unfortunately, we missed the Independence Day a few months and therefore had the newspaper articles on signs in the hotel believe that the Republic has won this event spectacle various awards. Most particularly, we must consider ourselves fortunate that our passports have a fairly readable signature of the current president. The previous one was not because of his race (Ziege!) able to write. Otherwise, there were top prospects cool tunnel (Hobbit-tunnel) and the largest waterfall in the North Island.

New Plymouth is nice, even nicer, the scenery: The city is not only the sea (nothing special for New Zealand ..), in good weather, shows Mount Taranaki, a picturesque picturesque mountain (as long as the dramatic Maori legend does not know that I leave out so at this point ...).

What if a child was to paint a mountain!

soon as they arrive pushes the snow-covered peak again into view, dressed in a pretty skirt clouds, and with it increased the anticipation climb the next day a part of the idyllic mountain. Unfortunately it was raining and we had to postpone the hike for a day, but that could meet Anne, who traveled from here for some time with us and accompanied us on the mountain. In this way again übelst cool greetings ;-)

top to beat the weather and it was exciting.

Ah yes, the evenings we spent with-Wasgij puzzles. One puzzling unfortunately what we see, for example, but what happened shortly after the picture on the cover is. Christine did not give up, so we have actually extended so a night. As a reward, we have "taken" another sunset, are rumgefahren around the mountain (makes you better in the summer because there was now dead trousers) and have discovered the real bread and the arms market crashed due to unexpected weight almost to the ground .

Next stop Waitomo. Call 0800-GRN GLW!

Glowworms!

In contrast to the thrill-providers (Cave rafting, etc.) it provides a complete introduction to caving, in clean and dry Clothes (at least initially). The intensity increases with each minute, until Mark had almost given up in the narrowest gap. By squeezing but was rewarded with a cave and a fluorescent stalactites. All images were taken with our camera! In very basic hostel, there was the way the friendliest cat ever.

via a short stop in Auckland, where we replenish stocks and a little worried about our car had (coming soon in the car-blog), it went further into the Northland ...

The night before the hostel published the season ...

But still: at 6:20 the next morning we are ready, with a large coffee, a thermos tea, a blanket (yes, it has gotten cold!), Fruit breakfast and the trip flag! Bad is that we still out the door on the other side of the road This is because the game will be shown in the office. The TV is acceptable in size and no one here excited about the Vuvuzuelas (?) On * g *.
We had thought briefly to take a beer, but it seemed to us then something abnormal for the time.

Cruisy Gyms Raleigh Nc

linker running gag

The crisis is driving at the weekend once again the people on the street. It's less about claims as an attempt to establish more offensive protest.

comment by Lutz Getzschmann

"We do not pay for your crisis" The theme is nothing more than a helpless letter of intent, if only because we will just pay for the crisis - and that's not too tight. However, it has become a running joke left mobilization professionals, their resistance against the passing of the crisis burden on wage earners and want to show the unemployed. Also on Saturday will again go against the savings of thousands of government plans on the road. Stuttgart and Berlin are the places to which is mobilized nationwide. The claims of the call center are more defensive in nature and in part contradictory. They oscillate between Keynesianism and anti-capitalism, financial sector regulation and radical reduction of working hours. They are a mixture from which everyone can pick out something with the will but no one really happy. On Indymedia, then, all have voices that encourage provocative to on 12 June would prefer to populate the lakes, rather than to a "dwarf Demo" the "state-supporting left to participate."

For those who still refer to the social realities, the question arises, what should it be the alternative to this kind protests crisis. Set fire to garbage containers? A letter box blow up? Or organize one of those little fine Demos' work for wages, "is the radical left which together?

Many leftists have become accustomed to making their participation in this or that demonstration depends on whether they like the call, and less of what is actually the cause. This critical view of ideology, in which arises only satisfied if at the end of a hearty "For the Kommunsimus," stands, has long since degenerated into Klimbim identity. It is folklore that has to do with a radical critique of social relations any more, because they can not relate to real social movement. A recommendation could instead: go, mitdemonstrieren critical if it requires the spiritual welfare, even with its own flyer or banner. It is crucial to existing struggles involved, even if they are still so depressing and weak. Radicalization processes start in a place where people experience and thereby provide concrete seemingly self-evident in question. Do not start reading the Leaflet, which reveals the fetish figures of the capitalist relations of production, or a visit to the capital-reading course. This step may come later.

On Saturday, it is not the DGB and the union leadership of IG Metall and Verdi, who go on the road, no all-powerful machines that are struggling with mass mobilizations to representation and acceptance within the sphere of power. These are the parts of the trade unions that are oriented to social mobilization, together with Attac, various migrant organizations and unemployed groups. The calling and mobilizing trade union branches have understood that it is for them Canned is lost. Even last year, the DGB unions are again declined by more than 100 000 members. Against the impending crash that moving to a culture of aggressive protest requires a change to the trade union apparatus is apparently not able to. Where the left-oriented forces to help the movement, the way out of the negotiating rooms and back rooms to find back on the road, they also help themselves
