Whats The Difference Between Ultram And An 627?

a good start ... The children

... New Year I wish you!

I have just come to my dachshund from a hunt in the western Lower Saxony. Wonderful days they were there in the snow - wild boar and deer were to see. Even big, fat rabbits could be easily observed at the field Rain.

from a good friend I've found in the following poem today Epostkasten that I not withheld would like:

"We sit here And gaze back,
the last year was really crazy

- Kita policy in Schleswig-Holstein 2010 -

The groups are large, educators away - that was for us a big fright! .
The kids are so cute and small - they are our future but soll'n
So we went before the country's house and let our anger out '
Since they had to stand all on the mic, behold the children in the eye?. .

"The debt burden is so great, that's why there's not recommended for children more moss."
you asking, "Who has made the debt, then?" then you'll just be laughed at.
decades you have no fear, the money spent as if it were hay.
It may weitergeh'n just not that parents need to understand you yet!

Almost every child in our country, the way to a kindergarten place. promote
The little ones is the goal - it costs a lot, it costs a lot. Drum
have to 'seek new ways - some were now beginning to curse.
And quite fast - and no longer there: the contributory kindergarten year!

"windfall gains" what a mad word-quickly pushed away all doubts!
"no alternative" - is now a hit - as with all sheep!
No child - there is one very ecstatic - remains educationally back soon.
But one, that's really just an illusion: "social justice"'s will never be.

fees up, so it went! That's right, parents do not cheerful.
And if you look purely at the day care, education is often more illusion than reality. The full
groups and often more, all loaded very much!
integration, which would be nice - will soon stand all just in the stars!

Education country (!), It sounds so fine that one would be so happy.
almost everywhere except in Kiel, which is the highest goal.
children's rights, which are important, but you live it properly?
education, health and food, it has to compete now!

And every child who falls down cost us in the future even more money!
Who will bear the burden of debt, then? That is the question of questions!
The children can look back alone, it will certainly not be! Therefore we
nerves - that's obvious -! You continue again next year "

wood mice

Merry Christmas I wish


Today was a beautiful sunny day -. ideal for a long walk in the woods, the Elli and I have enjoyed during my dachshund now takes a nap by the fireplace, I have a little time to tell you the children of forest mice.

Just over two years, we have started in the children's forest, the first official "U3-group" of Schleswig-Holstein. The concept originated at that time from a forest nursery in Baden-Württemberg: Two days a week to visit the youngest (up to 10 children) the forest with two teachers for two hours. The concept worked so well that it soon found many imitators.

have meantime we then decided to address the interests of working parents bill and to extend the supervised hours per day. Therefore, in the spring starts the group of children wood mice with 5 hours a day (8-13 clock) in Projensdorf. Date Second, the kids are Birthday.

The new trailer is situated on a private forest nearby, large garden plot -. As soon as possible using the snow ;-) There, children and educators can also create a good time, for example, the kitchen garden, sand pit, play or do crafts in the trailer when the weather is not suitable for forest should be. The pick-up and return by the parents is easy to both venues - both in the forest and the garden - is possible.

more questions of the educational concept and registration is happy to answer our lead teacher: email.

Spreading Rash In Pubic Area

Children's Forest in the snow



does that work? - I am often asked. Sure, you can not you imagine how much fun the kids (and educators) in the forest in this season. The children wear proper outdoor clothing in several layers (onion System), to correct winter boots and gloves tested.

Every morning when the parents can hear them whispering to each other excitedly. Every child wants to be the or the first, refers to the legacy of Pelle. What, you do not know Pelle? This is the cousin of Tomte Tummetott. We have the beginning of December by chance found in the woods, that this dear little gnome hiding us something every day between the trees. But he is also a good portion "Riesengröd" am "Juleaften" from us.



Sometimes it is a story that we find and if we have enough romp in the snow, we pull us all back into the warm cozy trailer and read there together the story of Pelle.

then we tinker there, sometimes Christmas, or do the carving. But mostly it is not long until the first children do go back to race sled.

Special attention in these days we have all kinds of animal tracks. Hard to believe, who else is in our Children living forest! - It is hardly a morning when we do not see at least a handful of deer nearby. The children are different now from roe deer crocheted by their "butts". At mid-day farewell

it happens often that the children still do not even want to go home. Fortunately, yes tomorrow is another baby on the forest-day, and so is yet so many children forest child calms home and is looking forward to tomorrow with Pelle and the others!

More precisely, we have on a tour of Baden-Württemberg not only made "Wengert" and "Sightseeing", but colleagues and friends also attended forestry forest nurseries.
In this occasion, I found out why the forest is an ideal site for ESD: He brings the shorties on small in lateral thinking. Not that I - and other foresters - that have not known a long time but somehow it is not common in our society do not go far enough. Did you know that forest nurseries are the most resource-friendly day-care centers? - By the way hot forest kindergartens in English: forest nurseries
The forest imp Reutlingen e. V. have been certified as the first climate-neutral nursery in Baden-Württemberg with the seal "Prima Klima" :

Poser egomaniacs and Otherkin

comes Recently there before me more so than if someone had the door to the insane asylum offengelassen.Spinner there's always, and especially as Otherkin one is definitely yes anyway normal.Was I do not now my pejorative, so I would I even pee on the leg.

But some things are easy even for someone who called Otherkin no longer acceptable (and here I refer not only to things which I watched recently). Since then, there are people who according to his own Statement like sometimes a man would kill, chase animals to believe wild birds through the area or they would have everything on the Otherkin-being related if they passiert.Und anything unusual, of course, one must then broadcasted in the world that you are Otherkin and push it out one time when a fart quersitzt.Entschuldigt choice of words, but that is my current Eindruck.Und I may not be placed on a par with those who behave and sometimes do not even really sind.Es Kins is a shame that Otherkin are still seen as a spinner teilweise.Und like it are those who behave as described above, also largely to blame.

I find that should be said once that something like this even normal for Otherkin ist.Von not something I want as Otherkin distanzieren.Sicher me we all have needs, people do not understand teilweise.Aber if one wants to control himself , then does it imho also.

We must be gone already in the run through the forest to provide the trees to be felled with a marker, then unfortunately tedious desk jobs announced, carefully because the use of forest workers must Rotte be scheduled. If these plans are then available, and the so-called juice rest occurred in the trees, they are made in the cold season. Via so-called skid trails, it is pulled from the forest paths, so that the trucking companies of the wood buyer, may find it easier later and charge it. However, previously held the Submission. Ah, but before I am here now spread even further about it, I'd better show you another picture that I made at the last Waldbegang.

A small learning History

Some time ago I met colleagues from Kita-Neumünster, which I reported on the "learning history". I was so inspired that I might as well with children in the forest was, where it is today enshrined in the educational concept. The AWO kindergartens in Kiel have be inspired and have been using this kindergarten year, this form of communication between kindergarten and primary school. Today I would like to introduce them to you:

in Neumünster in 2007 had been dealt constructively about how, then, might look like a well-successful "transition nursery school" ( background and origin ). The result is a small, seemingly insignificant issue and a principle that is simple, focused and practical: The learning history . This is the documentation of a future first-graders from him / her self in cooperation with educators and parents. How this works in detail, experienced educators here, and parents there. This little booklet is in principle no such thing as a "pass" is where the skills and abilities of each child are documented in a brief that the teacher blogs in the number of students in the class and can quickly grasp.

The highlight of the whole thing is that all day care facilities in Neumünster, this booklet use and also for further binding agreements are entered into with the primary schools. I think we should think in Kiel views about whether this is also what for us!

PS: But first ask in each case by the colleagues in NMS, for there is a copyright.

The forest as a place of learning outside schools

Maybe you've even ever heard of BdF - the Federation of German foresters. That is, in principle, the professional body for foresters in Germany. But foresters was among us and is not clear to everyone how important the teaching of natural science knowledge and forest education, and that it this is an original field of the task Grünbefrackten. Fortunately, the new generation of foresters has understood the importance of Education for Sustainable Development ", and started again active in the forest education" interfere ". Colleagues from the State Forest Administration, Hesse and Brandenburg have done such as jointly with the University of Freiburg and the Teacher Training School in Ludwigsburg in the past two years, a special project: 30 Hessian and 9 Brandenburg forester and a number of educators have developed proposals for after-school learning programs for secondary school . The result is: do sustainability!

This is but fortunately only the beginning, followed by other projects are! Since I will dig deeper but the same times, as it looks at the Schleswig-Holstein gentlemen

The new "device management"!

Uiuiui, I could only begin with the concept of nothing, and somehow it sounded so sterile and cold and reminded of unpleasant things. But then I learned that it lies directly behind a man - and the so-called educational management! Since we have children in the forest more than one group, it is necessary that a / e accepts specially trained educators in the overall management of the educational part of the operation, but also a day in a group at the Children is active. Our Executive heads have long smoked until it was a result because this position is the important one-stop shop for carriers, employees, authorities and parents.

I will not reveal too much, but I'm sympathetic to these young people may already know and have to say that I am looking forward to working with you very much. You want to know who it is? Well, unfortunately I missed the first forestry colleagues muzzled here, since the first personal introduction to the next trial day take place. So if you're just as curious as I do, then look a look. It's worth it!

Long day of urban nature in Kiel

Besides the usual, unavoidable bills, there was also a very interesting letter today: The Kiel council parties of SPD and Greens would like to organize a Berlin model a "long day of city nature" in Kiel in the next year. Since I first made at the Berliners smart: They have organized for the fourth time such an action this June. Various actors from the "Environment and Nature" presented the Berlin citizens their work and offered an information and hands-on program. Find particularly clever I search for the individual events. Since I immediately looked even know what has been offered for children there: forest adventure for the youngest, intermediate Burrow and burdock rich, Knut and climate change stories in the woods, mud on the playground, witch-herbs kitchen and and and even a wild boar game was possible! - I'm thrilled and I then sent a notification gleichmal: Kiel. Buzz me so many ideas for such a day in my head .... what would you like to do for children in the woods? Looking forward to your suggestions!

Last Saturday ...

... we had our first trial day in the woods this year. The weather was the day before was pretty bad, and we had been worrying about whether parents and children would come at all. On the way there I passed an intersection and saw this beautiful forest tree stump:


The rain had let the mushrooms sprout. Our concern was unfounded way. With a large group we pulled together a little later to one of our forest areas, where we demonstrated the wood sofa, the new parents and children a little something from the forest nursery life. Fortunately, we were not soaking wet, as most Rain was intercepted by the tree crowns.


Then it went to the Wolf's Glen, and all had great fun climbing up there and slide down. About the most consistently positive response of the parents we are very pleased. With many new children in the Children's Forest will soon be even more exciting and fun.

The emergency shelter in the forest

The other day I was working closely with our new shelter. Since we have new groups of children, we also need more Bauwägen. A forest nursery in principle, need an emergency shelter outside the forest, the children and teachers during storms, thunderstorms and other situations that a stay in the forest make it impossible to find quickly. Weather permitting, the children sometimes sit at tables and benches in front of the car: paint, crafts, or deal with other things that make a stay there required.

were used converted disused forest workers Bauwägen often difficult by the parents at the weekend for the special needs of the forest nursery. Nowadays there are companies that manufacture according to individual wishes of the carrier they are adjusted for forest nurseries. These companies have years of experience in the construction of forest workers consider that this was beneficial development.

State-certified / r forest educator / e

there are now a plethora of training opportunities - including the environment. As a forester I am of course by the teacher / educator Ranger tandem convinced, for only together can we teach our children and young people all that should know what to do. A few years ago, the state forest authorities have agreed to offer a uniform national training for teachers and foresters in the field of forest-related environmental education: The forest education certificate.
nationwide framework agreement
This is for career professionals and includes 15 modules in the areas of forestry, Education, law and elective subjects and a 40stündigen internship and a final exam. - At the forefront of this was the house of the forest in Stuttgart: There have already been offered one-day seminars in these areas. Even today you can assemble the individual modules at will - the main thing in each subject area are completed sufficiently. There forest education certificate Ba-Wü

In the other provinces there now have the opportunity to purchase the forest education certificate - usually it's related course units in the different areas. Here's a few:
Schleswig-Holstein
North Rhine-Westphalia
Bayern

Hessen Rheinland-Pfalz
Sachsen-Anhalt Niedersachsen


make my colleagues in the Children's Forest team this further - in some cases in different states - and are totally thrilled. If I now and then by his colleagues in the "country", am I too look like to enter for one or the other seminar in the house of the forest.

How To Bake Custard Pudding

Day 2: Lomé

After the first night was spent relaxing in our summer home (You can sleep anywhere as good as the fresh air), the first time the breakfast searched. Not so easy in a foreign city where the host is still asleep and you wake up they do not want to. We are still successful (who will continue to ask!), Even find our way back to the house and make us at once to the dissection. What is it? Omelette of course! After the first move times
is announced. Selvi gets visit today and then it is a bit tight for everyone so that we are taught at two other German volunteers for our second and final night in to spend Lomé. We supplied all our luggage, we sink or a couple of other volunteers to visit Lome and just make our way to the beach where the rest of the day is verchillt cozy. We have, after all leave. For the first time in five months, I am swimming again correctly, which is possible because of a breakwater off the beach installed. In the long term I prefer, however, but then the "unpressed" sea, swimming is just a little boring in the long run.
On the way to us his heart out there then this Maquis nice impression of the beach promenade in Lomé:



The evening ends in a social Round with Togolese specialties: salade Togolais (which it is in Benin including but not many so often and well, and also called spaghetti salad) and BB Pils, the Togolese beer. The camp will be added this time in the dining room and in the absence of the mattress yesterday's less comfortable. Good that we are still young, as a night on the floor is still there. lured

Mixing Maracyn And Tetracycline Fish Medicine

Day 1: Porto-Novo - Lomé

from distant foreign lands, we had as our first stopover, the Togolese (Togo is said only in French!) capital Lomé picked out where we wanted to visit a German volunteer, the Nico and I have become familiar to the Preparatory Seminar . Also
"Petit Paris" rushes, Lomé's reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in West Africa ahead. That must have seen it.
26.12.2009, 03:30: My alarm clock rings. Bastard! Well well, it torments more or less willingly staggers out of bed, into the shower and can wake up to the first ten minutes of cold water. Tighten remaining throw things into the backpack, even if some of it still is not as dry. This one has thought of it until the night before if you get the idea to wash. Large backpack, small backpack, barbecue and a few cooking utensils are stored in the car. "Papa" to say goodbye and give Abeln exit towards Ouando to Caro and Nico. After
has difficulty making everything packed in the car and our dry-bread-from-yesterday-breakfast is finished, ready to hit the road to Cotonou. On the way is still just tanked, now nothing can stop us!



what you think! The nearest sandy hole is determined and so we just stuck in quick Cotonou on Route de Ouidah Pèche towards the first time. Blades is called for, then look for stones, palm leaves or similar to put under the wheels and then bring the box with a lot of feeling in the clutch and just right amount of gas back on solid ground.
is arriving in Ouidah then had breakfast at first, omelette, of course, what else?
The road continues as quickly as possible, We are already to be of good cheer around noon in Lomé.
Up the road is suddenly gone. He gets lost in the sand and was not seen. Detailed studies of the environment to point out that only close behind the end of the road is a river mouth - without a bridge course. Even if there had been one, we would have along the way probably mercilessly and irrevocably fixed in the sand. We note: Whoever told me the route de Pèche would still have to go to Ouidah to Grand Popo - either against better knowledge or bad faith - lying.
We turn to go and focus on the 25 km return trip to Ouidah, but then probably take the tarmac road to have. On the way we do then the car, it is to be be worth it. With seven people (three front, four in back) and Luggage, the sand holes are even more insidious, however, so that, in spite of optimized drive technology to dig two more times necessary. But what you have the people of it? Unfortunately
starts on the way the clutch again to spin. If yes maybe so that they would have fixed the previous day, but since the mechanic has done well crap. Well, he wanted no money ... The first stop back in Ouidah then, is the garage of Saturin, which for the second time in three weeks replaced the clutch hydraulics. can slow ego itself as often as I have seen the thing open:



The hour wait will be put to good use with other travel planning and organization of our first sleeping quarters in Lome and then we're back on track, paved this time and just insane. To get from Ouidah to Lome, you have to actually hold only the steering wheel, with 90km / h more towards the West:



The next stop is Grand-Popo, just eat what for lunch. During the meal once again be made interesting cross-cultural experiences: Caro is the object of desire and Nico and I learned that ten sheep for a bride very, very unfair. In the end, they agree to thirty, but I also believe that we have still been too cheap. Never mind, the guy has the sheep just before present, so that Caro stay with us. Once again had luck!
