Safety vest made a decisive contribution to road safety

All first-year students and all pupils of the basic class at the Althorn primary school have been equipped with safety guards by the ADAC foundation - a total of 106 girls and boys. "Just in time for the dark season in which the youngest transport users need special protection," says Ulrich Mainers. A safety vest made a decisive contribution to greater road safety; because children with bright and bright clothes would be seen by drivers earlier and better.

31 men and women met in Althorn at the anniversary celebrations. They came from near and far. Their confirmations are between 25 and 75 years. In the church of Christ they celebrated a service with Pastor Dietrich Jaundice. After a joint photo, the group took a bus to the Landaus Otter to Sage-Haste. There were nice conversations and a joint lunch.

Ragger at the cycling tour of the CDU: 47 women and men drove with wheels and Kramer through the municipality. The afternoon began with a coffee and cake buffet at the Rowels family. Karl-Heinz, the regional parliamentarian, reported from the state parliament in Hanover. A little later, the circular course started through the districts of Dolan and Unloosen. Advisor Henning Rowels explained the situation regarding the planned new development area in Dolan as well as the recent developments on the premises of the sports center. The tour then led through the Heeler Wald along the residential development and further to the planned area for the new construction of the fire brigade Unloosen. After initial descriptions on the spot, the firefighters Rolf Mainers and Rainer in reflective clothing presented the advanced plans in the old fire station. This was followed by a visit to the local associations in the Green Center, with presentations on rural adult education and the machinery ring Olden burger Land. Astrid, a member of the Bundestag, was impressed by the smooth cooperation between the various bodies. The trip sounded with a barbecue buffet and cold drinks at the Rowels family.

From the Kolding district association Vise, 42 ​​members of the family hiking day in Althorn met. The Althorn had invited. After the joint coffee table the participants made their way. Guest guide Sylvia Vernon told a lot of interesting and interesting things about the fish ponds. She reported on the work of the fish farmers over the year, beginning with the breeding of the fish spawn in special ponds, the rearing in other ponds as well as the rearing at the end. As she wear reflective clothing crossed the idyllic terrain, she explained which of the various ponds fulfills what purpose. The fact that the fish ponds have to cope with environmental problems (water scarlet) did not save them. The hiking day ended in the Pforzheim with a snack.

Simple instead of high-tech: solar technology for the desert

In deserts, the sun is almost always the same - they are ideal locations for solar power plants. However, the harsh conditions in the stemson are increasing by the high-tech installations. That is why the Ticino Company Airtight Energy has set itself the goal of developing a simpler and more favorable construction for solar power plants. For almost two years, she has been operating a pilot plant near Air Baca near the Moroccan port of Acadia. "An ideal place to test the technology and bring it to market maturity," says project manager Giuseppe Lo Valdo in reflective vest.

The Ticino pioneers have deliberately opted for a so-called solar thermal plant, because it is particularly suitable for hot sites - better than photovoltaic plants. These gain electrical current from sunlight, but lose their effect dramatically at high temperatures. In addition, the generated current can only be stored poorly.

This is different for solar thermal systems, which use energy from the sun's heat radiation. In the case of so-called parabolic trough power plants, which are already commercially used, this works according to the following principle: Curved mirrors concentrate the solar radiation onto a centrally mounted pipe in which a carrier liquid circulates - for example, oil. This heats up, is passed to a heat exchanger and there brings water to evaporate. The steam drives a turbine. This type of power generation is not only good for use in the warm climate; it also allows storing excess heat for the night.

Low-tech and local materials

Such a parabolic trough power station, according to traditional construction, was recently opened in the Moroccan desert town. The Ticino Company Aright Energy uses the same principle in its new plant, but it goes one step further. It has optimized the process and improved the technology with new materials to make them more efficient, cheaper and more sustainable. The three collectors of the Air Baca power station are each 200 meters long and over 10 meters high. They are not made of expensive steel and transported from far away, but have been poured from cement on site. The collectors are covered with a transparent protective film which protects them from sand and dust.

The mirrors, which combine solar radiation with conventional solar thermal systems, have been replaced by a reflective transfer heat film in the new pilot plant. This is filled with air so that its pressure and thus its curvature can be regulated. This means that it can always be arranged in such a way that it optimally bundles the incoming solar radiation. The focal point is directed at hoses that connect two tubes positioned one above the other. The air flowing in the hoses is thus heated up to 600 degrees Celsius and rises from the lower to the upper tube.

The hot air can be used in two ways: one part flows directly into the furnace of a nearby cement plant. This does not have to be heated with fossil fuels - gas or oil - and emits less climate-damaging greenhouse gases. The remaining part of the hot air operates a turbine and thus generates electricity. If, however, no one is needed, the air is first directed into a heat accumulator. This is also simply constructed: a coarse gravel-filled underground container. There the heat can be stored for up to eight hours.

The concept is so impressive that the low-tech solar power station was nominated for the Innovate Prize in London in early February. It did not win, but Aright Energy sees a great future for its technology. By the summer of 2016 the pilot plant in Air Baca will be checked by external company workers in safety vest. In the case of future tenders for Moroccan solar power plants, Aright Energy intends to be part of the electricity market. The location of Morocco is not only ideal for climatic reasons, as project leader Giuseppe Lo Valdo emphasizes. Thanks to its ambitious solar plan, the country offers a growing market for technology developers.

Top quality from Brandenburg

Hidden champions - a term that Herman Simon, an economist in the 1990s, used to describe are companies that have become European or world market leaders in their niches. They are "secret winners" because they are hardly known to the public. A large part of these companies are medium-sized and are located in family ownership.

More than 1600 German companies are among the top three providers in their market segment worldwide. They employ around 8.2 million employees in reflective vest - of which 5.4 million are in Germany. As a map of the Leibniz Institute for International Studies in Leipzig shows, most of these companies are located in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia. The three federal states represent nearly three quarters of all German world market leaders.

In East Germany, the number is considerably lower, but the new Lender is particularly good at the companies founded after 1989. According to the "Encyclopedia of German World Market Leaders" (2014), Berlin can point to 28 world market leaders, followed by Saxony at 21, followed by Thuringia (11), Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (5) and Saxony-Anhalt (4).

In Brandenburg, there are currently 3 world market leaders. The "Refold" company from Orangeburg has secured the global leadership position in the film industry. The company not only produces reflective materials for traffic signs, safety clothing and vehicles, but also adhesive tapes of all kinds as well as a variety of packaging and security films.

Leila Georg GmbH, headquartered in Schwedt, is a group of companies focusing on paper-based paper production. The basis of the business segments paper and packaging are sustainable and environmentally friendly production processes. This makes Leila Georg GmbH market leader in the area of ​​graphic papers on a recycling basis. The magazine paper of the company is used worldwide in magazines, customer magazines, advertising inserts as well as special interest magazines.

The company is a medium-sized enterprise based in Oder-Spree. It specializes in the manufacture of machine knives, cutting tools and cutting accessories for food processing and their packaging. Every worker will wear safety vest The main product groups include knives for the entire meat processing process - from slaughtering, cutting and crushing to packaging, knives for poultry processing, machine processing and processing of vegetables.

Practice the school route again with wear safety vest

In the previous year, 570 children were injured on the way to school. The association "Large protect small" advises: "Always keep the safe way with older children keep a safety vest, avoid distractions and reduce speed!" Every year, about 1300 children are walking around the country on foot, by bicycle or by road and sports equipment.

Almost half of them were injured on the way to school.

"Practice the school route not only with the schoolchildren, but with all the schoolchildren and the 10-year-olds who go to high school or the new middle school! Even if the path is not new: First, the holidays are much forgotten, secondly, important points have often changed. Parents of schoolchildren, together with the next generation, should best deal with the safest way to school in the last two weeks. It is extremely important that children not only know the traffic rules but can also apply them well ", emphasizes Holler Till, President of the Association" Large Protect Small "and Executive Board of the Grazer Kinder.

Lack of awareness of danger

The trigger for childish pedestrian accidents is often a confusing traffic situation. Children look less often on the left, run impulsively across the street, appear more suddenly behind obstacles, play with the mobile phone, follow people without looking and choose the shortest way.

In addition, the awareness of the dangers of schoolchildren is still reduced to the moment. They can only recognize ad hoc: "Now I am in danger".

The anticipated perception of danger, which is so important for traffic safety, is not fully developed until 11 years.

Dangerous distractions

Distractions, such as the mobile phone, are a second serious risk factor: "Talk to your child that telephones, also a great danger for pedestrians. It is best to leave the next generation on the way to school, "advises till. Also the headphones stay better at home, so that the ears are free for traffic noise. On the sidewalk, it is important to go as far in as possible, not to run, push or catch.

Be sure to plan the time: Stress increases the risk of accidents!

Sleeping well and having breakfast? This is especially important for school children when it comes to attention and concentration - not only at school, but also on the way there.

Make sure that your child is wearing bright or reflective clothing and a schoolbag with sufficiently large reflectors, especially in the dark season - this is the norm of DIN 58124!

When your child walks: Choose a school path that your child can safely cope with! Take some detours for this!

Show your child that there is a need to pay attention to the traffic lights at the traffic lights!

The number of children walking to school generally decreases. Just before school days, too many cars are on the road just before school starts - because children are increasingly being brought by their parents.

"By means of regular pick-up and delivery services, however, children who are on foot are much more at risk," warns the association.

In addition, children in reflective vest often benefit from the fact that they are on their way to school: not only is their safety to be promoted in road traffic but also positive effects on the joy of movement, social relationships and the ability to concentrate in the classroom.

The children’s reflective fashion show

Under this slogan was yesterday in the movie meeting and reflective fashion show for the youngest. The students of class I-III wearing safety vest from Elblag County were the target participants. The 80-minute program was attended by musicians, singers, clowns, and also the illusionist. The fashion show was won by students from the Primary School.

In 2010, there were 210 accidents involving children up to the age of 14, with 5 children killed and 209 injured. Many of these events could have been avoided if earlier adults showed the children how to behave when cycling, where to cross the road or how to travel safely by car.

The program of the event, which took place on 12 December in cinema, was a reflective fashion show, awards contests and the performance of the band "Westona Fergana Bernie". The students of class’s I-III from Elblag County were the target participants. It was the students who took part in the reflective fashion show. The teams from primary schools started the competition. The first place in the "Reflective Fashion" competition was held for students from the Primary School in Upper Grodno. It's going to be the school's main competition prize - LCD TV and DVD player.

Ensuring the safety of children and young people is one of the priority tasks facing not only the police but also other institutions that are not indifferent to the welfare of the young generation. Therefore, the Regional Headquarters of the Police in Olsztyn together with the National Center of BRD and with the participation of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Elblag organized a party, the idea of ​​promoting traffic safety.

Investigators dismissed the case

The trial against the drunken head was discontinued because of the lack of evidence of a prohibited act - explains Alicia in safety vest, deputy district prosecutor.

Investigators found the case to be just a "disciplinary depict." According to the prosecutor's office, there was no jolt, and the police officer's strike (called a hook) was "accidental". Investigators monitored the monitoring only from the hotel, which did not bring much to the case; the fate of the abducted reflective vest did not even interested.

The prosecutor's office instructed only the Poleis Commander to conduct disciplinary proceedings against the officer. It has been completed before. The head was found guilty, but the punishment was waived for "impeccable service", which made even the officers' mates laugh.

Gobies Hotel took place in the night from 20 to 21 April. The traffic patrol in reflective clothing appeared there to give the retained Belarusian mandate. Policemen noticed the head of the important department of the Police Headquarters in Bialystok. He was at a party at the hotel.

Why did he attack ordinary policemen on duty? It began with the fact that one of the patrols stopped the driver's license of the son of civilian deputy commander of the provincial police. The son soon regained his right back, but the traffic was already on censored.

Child safety on the way to school

The first step to improving the road safety  of children on the way to school is education. And it's not just about recipes. You also need to learn to anticipate the situation. You should go with the child several times to talk about the dangers and explain how to act in difficult moments. In addition, we must adhere to the rules themselves, because the youngest are observers, who quickly take over from us bad habits.

"If the baby is delivered, we always put them in the child seat. In addition, do not stop the car in inappropriate places to quickly release the child to school, "- says Maria, director of the Center for Road Safety at the Institute of Motor Transport, in an interview. Also remember that a child under 7 cannot go to school alone.

Parents should also take care of the right outfit for their baby, including reflective elements. As we move in the evening, we are only visible to the driver at a distance of 20 m. The reflector increases this distance even up to 150 m! When a child cycles, always have a helmet on his head.

Ensuring security is also a responsibility of the school and the local government. They should take care of the appropriate means of transport to bring their children to school and to train drivers and careers, hand out the reflective vest to students for visibility, as well as organize educational meetings for students.

Campaign "You are visible, you are safe" in the School Team

On Thursday, 17 November more than 330 students of the John Paul II School Complex received the glare as part of the campaign "You are visible, you are safe".

Policemen, firefighters and representatives of the Regional Road Traffic Center in Radom presented students safety rules. In a practical way they showed how to safely ride a bike, give first aid and encourage them to wear reflective vest The social campaign is titled "You are visible, you are safe". It is run by the Amazonia self-government together with the regional traffic centers. Campaigns are also actively involved in the police and the police.

Safe driving on the roads after dark or first aid are just some of the topics for meetings with primary school and junior high school students. The action was preceded by marches of students of the John Paul II streets of the city. Participants were provided with reflective vests and reflective materials, and banner content encouraged them to wear them. The drivers were reminded to pay attention to the pedestrians in the area. Radom Road Traffic Center has prepared special obstacle course for students. Firefighters from the district headquarters taught the children first aid.

Aspirant staff Picot Saba from the Police District Headquarters discussed the risks presented in the film "... yes, I want to be safe". Campaign participants received gifts-reflective clothing to make them more visible on the road. The event was attended by the heads and representatives of the board, the police, the city and the county, the road traffic center, the management of the school team.

Police in safety vest on the slopes

With the first snowfall on the slopes of Lower Silesia, police patrols in safety vest also appeared. The main duty of the officers during the daily service is to ensure the safety of skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. During the "Together for the safety of the slope" campaign, policemen also remind people actively resting in the mountains about basic safety rules. The officers will see, among others in the districts.

All officers are in uniform, armed with reflective vests so that they can be seen from a distance and ask for help or advice.

Police officers will patrol not only the paste but also their surroundings, access roads and car parks. The primary task of the officers on the ski slopes is preventive action, which affects the safety of organized holiday destinations. Officials in the daily service inform skiers about how to safely use the ski slopes. What are the penalties for breaking the law? - Driving under the influence of alcohol and riding without a helmet. Policemen first and foremost care for the environment and respond to dangerous and illegal behavior on the skis, but they also have the right to: legitimize, instruct and punish irresponsible people in extreme situations.

Another element of the campaign is an artistic competition with reflective element for children and young people to illustrate the Decalogue of FIS Rules organized by the Police Headquarters and the Association of Instructors and Trainers of PZN under the slogan "Stock is not for snowmen". The condition for participation in the competition is the submission of artistic work performed by any drawing, painting or computer program to the Headquarters of the Police by February 20, 2017.

Visible on the road

Third grade students wear safety vest from two elementary schools took part in the next edition of the meeting "Safe & Unprotected" jointly conducted by MZK and Police Headquarters. The third meeting of the MZK Depot at Street was the third in the B & N campaign. It was held under the slogan "Visible on the road". Approximately 80 students from Elementary School No. 1 and 10 attended the meeting.

Students had the opportunity to come by bus to MZK headquarters, where in the lecture room company employees in reflective clothing discussed the principles of safe and cultural travel by public transport. However, the officers of the Police Headquarters explained how to safely navigate the public road, how to cross the road and how to be visible after dark.

Children received leaflets about desired behavior in public transport, reflective elements: reflective vests and tags. This was another meeting promoting traffic safety knowledge. The program covers children of grades I-III of all primary schools.
