Here hundreds of Nazis march in Borlänge

Many of those involved in the Nordic Resistance Movement, NMR, is dressed in black pants and white shirts.

You see that many of them have a safety vest under their shirts. Some have rattlesnakes, reports Sweden’s radio reporter Jenny Roosqvist.

But there are also more who join the train – a first estimate is that it is about 200 people in total.

Swedish Radio has tried to interview participants, but NMR does not want their supporters to talk to journalists.

It was still a girl who said she was here to demonstrate against what she sees as treason, but then she was stopped when she was talking to me, they should not be interviewed by anyone other than their own media, reports Jenny Roosqvist, a reporter in place.

The plan is for the Nazis to head towards the Maser Hall and then down to central Borlänge.

And there are many who are watching the Nazi demonstration trains.

“It doesn’t look good,” says a person we met.

Mats Karlsson is another of those who are watching and watching.

“I do not understand how they can set up and go there and shout. I think it’s wrong,” he says.

Unpleasant and incomprehensible.

Andreas was also a person who was watching the Nazi trains, and he says this about it:

“They are abominable, they are not welcome here!”

It was worrying and fateful. As if Isis had taken a seat on our street.

A counter-demonstration train met up with the Nazis and the police had to make a quick intervention.

P4 Dalarna talked to the police press spokesman, Stefan Dangardt, about 13:40, and he says that they have rejected some people dressed as clowns who were heading for a place where the police thought they could disrupt the order. But the police have not detained anyone and say that the situation so far follows the planning.

“It’s the green mode,” says Stefan Dangardt.

Action day of the DAV with many tips for ski touring goers

Ski touring is a pleasure: outdoors, in the fresh air, athletic activity paired with beautiful natural landscapes. However, with regard to the beauty of nature, it is important, with all enjoyment, to pay attention to a few points.

At the beginning of February the annual action day “Naturally on tour” of the German Alpine Association e.V. (DAV) took place. The DAV would like to get into contact with routers on these days of action and point out the nature-friendly way of ski touring and snow shoe walking. This year, “Naturally on tour” took place in different regions of the Bavarian Alpine region: Openness in the Rollerball, Schoenberg am Teenager, Springsteen, Wallenstein, Arbor and Deliberateness Land. Volunteers of the DAV were on the move with green safety vests, information leaflets and small gifts, in order to inform the ski tour operators on the careful handling of nature.

The DAV already points in numerous tour areas with signs on routes and closed forest-Wild-sanctuaries. For wildlife, especially large amounts of fresh snow and snow-covered areas are particularly challenging. If they are startled, for example by ski routers, they unnecessarily consume energy during their flight. In addition to the wild animals, it is also important to protect the flora. When choosing a route, ski routers and snowshoe skiers should therefore plan very carefully. The green signs of the DAV for the recommended routes as well as the yellow warning signs with red letters, which refer to protected areas, can also be found in the current tour maps of the DAV. But also in the area of secured slopes there are designated and signposted protected areas. For example, at the Heidelberg in the Fellow-traveller ski area: In addition to the signage, skiers are alerted to the forbidden zones via announcements in the summit lift.

This applies to the nature-compatible ski tour and snowshoeing:

– Note route recommendations, markings and tips from the DAV campaign “Naturally on Tour”.

– Respect protection and sanctuaries for plants and animals, avoid noise.

– Dodge wild animals as much as possible, only observe from a distance, avoid feeders, leash dogs.

– In the high winter summit, back and ridges avoid before 10 o’clock and after 16 o’clock.

– Stay in forest areas and at the tree line on the usual ski routes, forest and hiking trails, keep a distance to tree and shrub groups.

– Afforestation and Grunewald spare.

– Arrive in an environmentally friendly way: use public transport and car pools, drive to designated parking lots, block no access roads.

– Planned rather multi-word stays instead of many day trips, use the gastronomic offer on site.

– Plan tours with guides and maps bearing the DAV seal of approval “Of course on tour”.

– Follow the rules for ski tours on slopes.

Ski touring on the slopes

What used to be more at the beginning of the season, before the ski lifts began their regular operation, is enjoying increasing popularity today: ski touring on the ski slope. More and more people are pulling it out after work: the skis strapped on and on the slopes upwards. However, this “special” form of ski touring involves conflict potential and an additional accident risk. The DAV already reacted many years ago and mediated between the interested stakeholders. The result is a rule catalog that has been in existence for many years. Not least on these regulations, the DAV leads back the fact that in encounters between alpine skiers and touring skiers in the past few years, no serious accidents.

It is obvious why touring on prepared pistes is so popular: fresh air, sport, a risk-free ascent away from the avalanche prone areas and a generally easy descent on groomed slopes. Basically, ski slopes in Germany – unlike, for example, in Italy – are not considered sports facilities per SE and are therefore accessible to everyone.

Many ski resorts have responded to the growing popularity of ski tours on the slopes and have their own routes for ski routers. At the Schwarzenegger in Ramsay, for example, a separate forest path is prepared for the ascent. On Gretchen, in the Deliberateness Land and also in the Mannheim Cal there are touring evenings, which take place parallel to the floodlit skiing. Steering and steering to avoid conflicts.

It is absolutely forbidden to climb and descend over closed pistes, for example in the case of avalanche danger, during avalanche detonation or during slope preparation. Especially during winch operation of snow groomers, the use of the slopes is absolutely life-threatening!

In cooperation with the ski lift operators, the DAV has erected signs that mark the ascent routes. In addition, the ski areas including ski slopes and ascent routes for outpouring and snowshoeing enthusiasts are marked in the new Alpine Club passes. Generally speaking, ski slopes are primarily available to users of cable cars and lifts!

Rules for ski touring on the slopes:

– Ascent and descent are at your own risk and responsibility.

– Only ascend at the edge of the slope. Do it in a row, not next to each other. Pay attention to the ski operation.

– Take special care on crests, in narrow passages, steep slopes and icing on the slopes. When crossing the slopes, go as far as possible and keep your distance. No crossing in confusing areas.

– Pay attention to runway blocking, warnings and local regulations.

– For slopes, slopes are closed for safety reasons, especially when using winches, there is danger to life.

– Only use freshly groomed slopes in the outskirts. In the dark always go with the headlamp on and wear reflective clothing.

– Pay attention to alpine hazards, especially avalanche danger. Do not do any ski tours when avalanches are expected. Only open slopes are protected against avalanches.

– Ski tours only if there is enough snow. Avoid damage to the plant and ground cover.

– Take care of wild animals. At dusk and in the dark, wild animals are severely disturbed. Dogs do not take on ski slopes.

 

Safety vest and fall harness in one

Visible and safe, that’s the new safety vest with integrated H-design fall harness by Miller.

 

Wearing clothing, backpacks or materials over a hi-vis safety vest is not permitted in many situations, according to Miller in a press release. But in practice, according to the manufacturer, there are many examples where a fall harness is worn over a safety vest. However, it impedes visibility, which is why the company brought a vest with integrated harness onto the market.

 

Comfort and freedom of movement

The safety vest, offers comfort and freedom of movement and is very suitable for people in the construction industry. The lining of the vest can be opened through a large zipper on the inside, so that the harness can be fully integrated into the vest. Through the openings in the front and back, the coupling points of the harness can be used with external fall lines and fall blocks. The vest is adjustable and can be worn over both winter and summer clothing. There are no less than five pockets in the vest, which is enough for tools and accessories. The safety vest is available in the colors yellow and orange.

Yellow vests for children

Security is everyone’s business. 240 yellow safety vests have just been given to the municipalities of the country of Evian.

 

“The goal of the operation is to participate in road safety by securing children who walk to school or to their bus stop in the morning and evening.”

 

The reflective vests were given to the representatives of the communes, Thursday evening, by the board of directors of the local Credit Bank.

 

Now it is up to the communes to distribute them but also to make the children and their supervisors aware of the usefulness of having them in the schoolbag and putting them on during the trips.

 

Free distribution of safety vests on the A6 motorway

The Association Attitude Prevention, created by insurers, will distribute free safety vests for adults and children on highways areas of the A6 this autumn.

 

When will these safety vest distribution take place?

7 out of 10 parents check that they have a safety vest, safety equipment (spare wheel, anti-puncture kit…) and a warning triangle. On the other hand, they are only one-third to possess a vest adapted to the size of their children.

 

In children, the wearing of the safety vest is still little known. Indeed, they are only 45% to know that it is necessary to put one out of the vehicle in case of accident or breakdown.

 

The association Attitude Prevention will therefore take advantage of departures on autumn to meet motorists. It will distribute safety vests free to young and old.

I will help orphanage in Tanzania

When Calvin Dresden is not at work for the Municipality of Culemborg, he cycles through the city to collect litter: on his bike with his music. A spontaneous donation has yielded € 974 and with that money he will do even more good work…

Who does not know Calvin? All inhabitants of Culemborg have come across him with his crate on the back of the bike, music first and his safety vest, looking for litter. Sometimes until late in the evening. Reason for Wigand Pin to do something for the boy. He contacted Margret Kaiser from Café De Mart. ‘Wieland Pin had decided to do something for him and whether I could do something with it. That has been achieved in consultation with his parents. Every year we want to put someone in the limelight who has Hart for the City and who can be brought by a resident. How beautiful is that?

Orphanage in Tanzania

Initially the goal was to collect € 500 for a JBL speaker on his bike. His motivation to clean up litter? “I just like to do it,” is his reaction when he receives the € 974. Calvin is not going to buy a speaker for it, but also gives it away in a symbolic way: He is going to buy a return ticket to Tanzania to volunteer there with his father in an orphanage. The campaign runs through and through a post from Margret yesterday the counter is now at € 1195. Wonderful that is possible in the city!

First graders master the way to school

They are barely larger than the knapsack they carry on their backs. And they are excited – after all, a whole new period of life begins. And for some, the path may not even be 100 percent: Around 1,200 girls and boys from the Höxter district has their very first day of school on Thursday, 30 August. By the next Friday at the latest, the little ones will go on the daily way to school. So that the police and traffic watch gives important tips.

 

On foot

Most children are at school. The youngsters did not only gain experience. “movement and fresh air before the lesson start also increase the ability to concentrate,” for example, informs the Höxter district police, but because they perceive their surroundings differently from adults, they are in traffic especially at risk.

 

 

Go the way up to ten times

The police advises parents to walk the path five to ten times with their offspring. Even at the beginning of school, the adults should still be there. “Because then there is more traffic than at holiday time,” says Oliver. Parents should not forget their role model role – especially with regard to traffic lights and crossing aid and the use of mobile phones.

 

Firstly, the police recommends that the children do not go to school in groups. “Until they are safe on the way to school and recognize danger spots,” says Thane, because alone, the little ones usually learned better and were less distracting. “Thereafter, nothing speaks against dating,” says the traffic expert. Especially in the dark season, Thane advises “reflective clothing.” Safety vests, reflectors, satchels or flashing shoes: “There are even reflective yarn, especially creative parents can knit hats.”

 

Police are present on the first days

In the first few days, the police will be present on the school routes. “Helping and educating people is at the forefront,” officials said in a statement announcing increased speed measurements and checks on child seats, bus and bicycle traffic.

 

By bicycle

By bike only older children should go to school. “It’s not until they’re 14 that the ability to ride safely develops,” the police said, adding that the ability to focus on road traffic over a longer period of time does not educate boys and girls until they are about eight years old.

 

Parental taxis should use parking in the area

“On the way back, things can be different”, Thane points out, so children could suddenly run across the street behind the bus, so the police are also calling for stopping school buses to “pass by in two directions at walking pace”.

 

By car

The most convenient way to get to school is certainly the parental taxi. If you bring your own child to school by car, you should not chauffeur it all the way to the schoolyard. “Due to the pressure of the vehicle, there is a high risk potential,” the city of Höxter informs on NW request: “Parking space in the area should be used for getting in and out.”

23 ads at school walk training in Ziebach

The horror for every mom: The children stand obediently at the crosswalk, wait, the car stops, the car behind them too, the children go, suddenly both vehicles overtake a third car from behind – regardless of pedestrians or crosswalks. Incidentally, this scene actually happened in the middle of Ziebach. But it was not Mama who watched, but the police. Kids even wore yellow safety vests with reflective materials – clearly visible from a distance as a school walk training.

“I was shocked”. Admits frankly traffic cop Franz Mayer. “This has never happened to me during school-leaving training for preschool children.”  the kindergartens are always allowed to cross the crosswalk with their hi vis vests. Franz Mayer waits at the edge, on the other side she receives an educator.

Many drivers do not follow the traffic rules

“We do this training every year with kindergartens in the Inn valley,” explains Mayer, who does this together with his colleague Roland Minter. But this year, the two noticed especially that many drivers do not follow the traffic rules. Because the stating: If a pedestrian waits at a zebra crossing, the car must hold compellingly.

If it drives anyway, it costs 80 Euros and a point in Flensburg. A total of 23 motorists alone during the school exercise disregarded this rule and took the children’s right of way.

Horse riding is becoming more popular

When children want to ride on horseback, they no longer have to wait for a pilgrimage, as it was a few years ago. Equestrian sport has grown significantly in recent years. The stables offer either regular lessons under the guidance of a coach or a one-time ride. And there are stables that also offer various horses rehabilitation.

In Rakovnik, there are more than ten places where people can ride a horse. Either they are equestrian stables or smaller clubs. Children are particularly interested in this sport. For those, stables have smaller ponies on which children begin to learn to ride. “In my opinion, the interest in riding is greater in recent years, and it is due to the fact that horseback riding is becoming more and more affordable, both in terms of price and widening offer of riding, and above all a number of different stables and riding halls,” said Hama. And such a riding lesson does not just involve riding alone. “Children care about the horse. Before cleaning, they clean and sit. They are preparing feeds and dredging. “said Simon, owner of the Bentley ranch. According to which, horse care is just as important as training.

Those more ambitious take part in races. Those hobbies, where there is no license needed at the Czech Equestrian Federation, are held in the district during the season. The same is true of the Hubert, which is held in the autumn, at the end of the riding season. It runs in several styles. “In English style, it is mainly parking, driving skills, or racing. In the west, there are speed disciplines such as barrel racing, pole bending. Dressage is also widespread. “Salaam explained.

Beginning riders first need a well-fitting helmet, a safety vest or spine protector, long comfortable trousers and good solid boots. But cheap hobby is definitely not. If riding begins to devote more attention to the child, equestrian equipment costs several thousand crowns.

Stables are holding lessons for the public, even several times a week. They offer nature trips or riding lessons. One hour on the back of a horse ranges from 100 to 500 crowns in Rakovník. In the long run, in most cases, club contributions are paid and part of the rider can sometimes work in the form of brigades. Stages offer different types of training and the way of teaching differs. “Every club leader can have a different teaching and emphasis on the correct control of the horse, somewhere the children sit on a horse and just hold on. And that’s not good for both horses and riders.

Some stables are holding hobby races for riders who are not licensed by the Czech Equestrian Federation during the riding season. The races include cups, medals and, in particular, ribbons. “I like to race on races. Last season I won eight cups with my dick, “says Renata, nine years old, who runs on the Ranch at Bentley. Aura ranch even organizes a year-round cup. This includes several races in the season and an absolute winner is at the end. The largest stables in the district are the Rude Equestrian Club. He also organizes races under the Czech Cavalry Federation. And not only jumping, but also racing.

Safe to school: ADAC safety vests for students

22 first graders of the Vosges school in Karlsruhe received on Wednesday not only bright yellow safety vests but also tips on the correct behavior in road traffic by ADAC traffic expert Christophe.

In luggage had a glowing safety vest for each student. While a dark-clad pedestrian can only be recognized by a car driver from a distance of around 25 meters in poor visibility, the visibility in light-colored clothing is already improving to 40 meters, the traffic expert explained to the students. However, anyone who wears reflective clothing is easily noticeable even at a distance of around 150 meters.

Introduce students to road traffic as early as possible

In the dark school, the corridor was tried, how well you can see the reflective safety vest when it is detected by a ray of light. “The safety vests help us in our traffic education work and we try to familiarize students with road traffic as early as possible,” explained Deputy Headmistress of the Vosges School Heike Bohr.

In order to further improve the traffic safety of school children, parents should practice the way to school with their offspring. The ADAC recommends. However, municipalities are also required to create the conditions for a safe way to school, and not least the motorists. You should always keep a close eye on children at the edge of the road and drive extra cautiously near schools, the ADAC says.
