Four Fantastic Reasons to Visit Lübeck
One of the most picturesque cities in Europe, Lübeck is the perfect destination for a Northern European city break. During my recent March visit the wind chilled to the bone but the end-of-winter sunshine showcased the Old City in glorious golden light.
Situated on the River Trave, Lübeck is the second-largest city in Germany's Schleswig-Holstein region, and a major port in the area. For several centuries it was the leading city of the Hanseatic League, a commercial confederation of merchant guilds and market downs that dominated trade in Northern Europe, stretching along the coast from the Baltic to the North Sea. Lübeck Old Town, on a small island entirely enclosed by the Trave, is much admired for its extensive brick gothic architecture and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A Rich Mediaeval History
If you enjoy learning about Europe's history, you'll certainly appreciate a visit to the European Hansemuseum which opened in Lübeck last year.
Even though I love history, I'm not always a fan of museums; far too many of them present information in such dull and unimaginative ways. That absolutely cannot be said of the Hansemuseum which is one of the best museums I've visited! Housed in a purpose-built modern structure adjacent to Lübeck's Castle Monastery, the museum focuses on the rich history of the Hanseatic League (which South East England was very much a part of) over six hundred years. The museum makes excellent use of modern technology to bring history to life; not only are there informative interactive visual displays and audio content, but every other room recreates a scene that immerses you in an aspect of the tale – a lively bazaar, a traditional wooden merchant ship or the league's council chambers during a session. As in any museum there are also a range of historical artefacts on display, and best of all, an excavation of ancient constructions down at basement level.
Of course, you can also see much of this history in the many beautifully preserved old buildings; Lübeck is a veritable jewel of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
An Enormously Walkable Old Town
A great way to appreciate some of that is simply to walk around Lübeck's delightful Altstadt (Old Town), designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site with very good reason.
A local guide can really bring the history alive for you, pointing out details you might otherwise miss, and relating the history and stories associated with each place. We were shown some of Lubeck's treasures by Mr Colossus, a real character with the most wonderfully bushy handlebar moustache; hugely knowledgable and an entertaining narrator, he really enhanced our visit. Certainly, you can explore on your own though it's well worth picking up a guide book or Tourist Information map to ensure you don't miss the highlights.
Holstentor
The iconic Holstentor – a fifteenth century brick-built Gothic two-tower city gate that formed part of the city's mediaeval fortifications and sits at the Western entrance to the Old Town – is today considered the symbol of the city, and indeed you can buy hand-moulded marzipan models of the gate in Niederegger's shop (see below).
Burgtor, also built during the fifteenth century, is located to the North of Old Town.
The St. Mary's devil; St. Jacob's church
Lübeck was once known as the City of the Seven Spires, these being visible from quite a distance from the city.
St. Mary's Church shows the Gothic stone cathedral designs prevalent in France adapted to be built in local brick. Do check out the bronze sculpture of a devil that commemorates a charming fairytale about the construction of the church – as the townspeople were building St Mary's, the devil paid a visit and asked what they were building. Keen not to anger him, they told him they were building a tavern. Delighted with this idea, since many souls had found him in just such a place, he leant a hand and the church grew quickly. Only when it was nearing completion did the devil realise he had been tricked. Furious, he picked up a huge stone boulder, intending to demolish the new place of worship. Thinking quickly, the townspeople promised to build a tavern directly next to the church and this they did, the Ratskeller. Appeased, the devil dropped the boulder where it lies today next to the walls of the church – the devil's claw marks are clearly visible. The bronze sculpture of the devil was created in 1999 by artist Rolf Goerler.
Lübeck Cathedral is the oldest place of worship in the city; construction of the brick cathedral began in the 12th Century, but before that a wooden church stood on the same spot.
St. Peters, a Roman church built between 1227 and 1250, is no longer a church but an exhibition and events centre. At Christmas, a large arts and crafts market is hosted here.
You may also like to visit St. Giles, St. Jacob's and St. Catherine's churches.
The Rathaus
The Rathaus, Lübeck's Town Hall, is still the city's seat of administration, so you can't wander around inside on your own. However guided tours are available regularly throughout the day to allow visitors to see the lavish interiors and architecture more closely.
The Heiligen Geist (Holy Spirit) Hospital is one of the oldest social institutions in the world – any sick or elderly townspeople were guaranteed care here, regardless of their financial means. During advent, the city's largest and best known arts and crafts market is hosted here.
If you do get tired and want to rest your legs, you can hop on a boat for a leisurely view of Lübeck Old Town from the water.
A World Centre of Marzipan
Lübeck is famous for marzipan. The most celebrated manufacturer is Niederegger, founded over 200 years ago.
Once upon a time there were many hundreds of marzipan makers within the old town alone. A local legend suggests that marzipan was first made in the city in response to either a military siege or a local famine. The story goes that the town ran out of all foodstuffs except stored almonds and sugar, and these were combined to make loaves of marzipan "bread". In reality, marzipan is believed to have been invented far earlier, most likely in Persia though historians are undecided between a Persian and an Iberian origin.
At its core, marzipan consists of nothing more than ground almonds mixed with either sugar or honey. These days, a wide range of marzipan is available; many commercial versions contain a comparatively low volume of almonds; instead they contain a great deal of sugar with the flavour boosted by almond oils and extracts or even cheaper synthetic almond flavourings and are often sickly sweet. In Germany there are clear labels that describe the various levels of marzipan, from marzipanrohmasse (raw marzipan) at the top to gewöhnliches marzipan (ordinary or consumer marzipan) at the bottom.
Niederegger marzipan products are all marzipanrohmasse, which means they contains 65% ground almonds and 35% sugar; the flavour is subtle and natural and the sweetness is not overwhelming. In consumer marzipan, only a third of the total content is almond, with the rest made up of sugar and flavourings.
Niederegger Cafe (external photo courtesy of Niederegger)
The best place to visit to indulge to the fullest is Café Niederegger, located in the heart of Old Lübeck. Not only will you find the most impressive range of Niederegger products in the extensive ground floor shop – at far lower prices than you'll find in the UK – there's also a charming café on the first floor where you can have a light savoury lunch before indulging in one of the fabulous cakes on offer. And I can personally recommend ordering a marzipan hot chocolate, alongside! Also worth a quick visit is the top floor museum where you learn a little more about the history of marzipan in Lübeck and see twelve life-size statues made entirely of marzipan.
Dinner in the Seafarer's Guild
The Schiffergesellschaft is a modern restaurant offering both traditional German classics and newer dishes. The restaurant is proud of its history as part of the city's historical shipping guild.
The Skt. Nicolaus Schiffergesellschaft (seafarers' guild) established in 1401 was tasked with supporting those who worked in the shipping trade, and caring for their families. By the end of the thirteenth century there were multiple such guilds, including St. Anne, established in 1495. In 1530 these two guilds merged, forming a single professional body for Lübeck's shipping industry. The new guild purchased the property across from St. Jacob's church in 1535 and shortly thereafter, a new headquarters was built there. Over time the guild's responsibilities expanded to include matters of navigation, taxes, mediation, guarding the harbour and more. All those working in shipping had to be members of the guild but in 1866 the compulsory nature of the guild was abolished and it lost many members and much-needed revenue. In order to counter some of its debt it leased an area of the building in which a restaurant was established. This lease assured the financial security of the guild and helped it to settle its debts. In 1933 the Schiffergesellschaft became a non-profit organisation and in the 1970s, extensive restoration of the building was carried out. Today the restaurant lease is operated by Engel & Höhne.
The wood-panelled restaurant features wooden tables and ornately carved high-backed bench seating that divides the room into rows of diners. Hanging from the high ceiling are model ships, and lanterns and chandeliers throw a warm and welcoming light.
The menu offers a wide range of starters, fish and meat mains, and desserts.
After malty brown bread served with pig fat, my Roast Duck Lübsch – roasted duck served with gravy and a savoury-sweet stuffing of red cabbage, prunes and marzipan – was hearty and delicious, and desserts were indulgent.
This isn't the highest level of fine dining but it's good, tasty food in an unusual setting and the extensive menu gives plenty of choice.
I liked our table up on a raised platform by the front window which allowed us to look down into the main dining area; book this if you can.
I spent just over 24 hours in Lübeck and am keen to go back for a longer, more leisurely visit. Have you been? What sights, activities and restaurants do you recommend I check out on my next trip?
Kavey Eats visited Lübeck as a guest of Niederegger who organised transport, accommodation, a guided tour and our meals. We were also given an exclusive tour of their factory, not usually open to visitors.

Now that I did not know… Luebeck the capital of marzipan! Looks like such an elegant city and that hot chocolate (I think??) mit schlagobers looks phenomenal!
kaveyeats May 12th, 2016
Yes, it's such a delightful city in it's own right but that marzipan thing makes it even more appealing!
lisa May 12th, 2016
Kavey I need to stop reading your posts.. I will have NO money left if I do! I want to go all the places you mention! I've always fancies Germany but wasn't sure of where to go and didn't want to just to 'the usual'. Luebeck looks awesome! and I quite like the sound of pig fat and bread….I lovvvvve pork!!
Kavey May 12th, 2016
Ah you couldn't give me a better compliment, thank you. I so loved the city, I really want to inspire others to visit, as it's such a lovely citybreak option!
Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours May 12th, 2016
That looks a lovely trip Kavey, and all of that lovely marzipan.
I love fairytale German towns like that.
I spent do much money in the shop but I do now have a (quickly shrinking) marzipan mountain to enjoy!
Gingey Bites May 12th, 2016
Another lovely travel round up Kavey, I always enjoy reading them! I agree about museums, I did a history degree but sometimes if they don't have interesting exhibits, they can be a bit dry. And all that marzipan! Yummy!
Thank you my dear! I did history at uni too, though not the Hanseatic League, but this museum was excellent so I'm going to go back to it for more time next time I visit!
Jacqueline Meldrum May 12th, 2016
What gorgeous architecture. It's always the architecture that catches my attention. I definitely want to go now!
Yes it's really glorious, a great deal of the old town survived unscathed by bombing because the city was declared a neutral red cross station I think.
Claudia | Gourmet Project May 20th, 2016
what a dreamy spectacular place! And the fooood! I'll save it on my to-go-list.
Definitely worth visiting!
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche May 20th, 2016
I'm actually not a fan of marzipan, but if something's going to convert me, looks like it would be that layered cake! Looks amazing!
I know a lot of people who don't like the usual marzipan you buy in the shops here, it's super sweet and often has almond extract to boost the flavouring. But the raw marzipan Niederegger make is just almonds and sugar, and far less sugar at that, so it's a much, much milder and more natural taste. I've found that some people who don't like regular marzipan like this stuff. But even if you don't, there's plenty to see in Lubeck and some of the cakes in the cafe are not very marzipanny (is that a word?!) so you'll be able to enjoy!
Tania @ The Cook's Pyjamas May 20th, 2016
We visited Germany a few years ago and loved it so much we vowed to go back. We didn't make it to the north, so I would love to see this place in person. Particularly the marzipan museum. A small tip though, you might like to mention it is in Germany. I had to Google it 😉
Oh gosh, I thought I had, just edited to add that in! Thanks!
Diana May 20th, 2016
Sounds like a gorgeous place! I like Germany and would love to visit Lubeck. I'm also a huge fan of marzipan so would really love to visit the marzipan museum.
Oh I do hope you go, sounds like you'd really like it!
Tara | Deliciously Declassified May 20th, 2016
I'd love to take a trip to Europe and Lubeck looks wonderful! You also can't go wrong in the marzipan capital!

The Ancient Paths » General Truths » Its always about sin. It's ALWAYS about sin. And sin keeps us away from Elohim (God).
Its always about sin. It's ALWAYS about sin. And sin keeps us away from Elohim (God).
We have this idea in the church. This idea is that, once we believe, we are set free from the law. The law no longer has a hold on us, and we are thus no longer under the law of Moses. The problem comes in when you think clearly about it. What problem? It's ALWAYS about sin. Everything is always about sin.
Paul's letters to me, like to most people in the church throughout the ages (i.e. the last 1700 years) has always been very difficult to understand. He seems to walk down the road like a drunken sailor, wallowing from one side of the road to the other. From "We don't need the law" to "we do need the law". From "The law has been nailed to the cross" to "Keep the law". From "We are no longer under the law" to "we establish the law". Paul, make up your mind, man. What are you really saying?
Well, these were my thoughts until very recently. The moment I understood the impossible gospel (please read booklet CFT2 for a piece on the impossible gospel – link to the right), and started reading Paul's letters with that in mind, things started to (slowly) make sense, bit by bit, one verse at a time.
Rom 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favour? Let it not be!
Rom 3:31 Do we then nullify the Torah through the belief? Let it not be! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.
This one thing that he does, makes it dangerous to quote a single verse out of context, when it comes to Paul. Why? Because most of his letters, when taken verse by verse, can mean completely the opposite of what he wants to bring across.
What few realise is that Paul spent a tremendous amount of time arguing the "Gospel of the Circumcision", for lack of a better term. These guys were pharisees that came from Judea, that taught the brothers that they first have to be circumcised, and become Jewish proselytes, before they can have salvation. Salvation, according to them, lay in being Jewish, and keeping the laws of Moses (Torah). No faith, no trust in YHWH, nothing, just works. Because this was Paul's primary audience, he HAD to preach a primarily grace focussed message. He had to drive the point home, that we are saved by grace, through faith, and "not of works, lest anyone should boast". Paul had to make a strong case about grace being the only means to salvation, because he was arguing against those who were teachings salvation by works.
Lets look at Romans 6:15-23 in a bit more detail. It truly is a remarkable piece of scripture.
17 But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
19 I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit, therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death.
22 But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.
Paul here, starts off by bringing us back to the centre of the road again. He brings us back to balance again by stating that we must not sin, in verse 15. He then follows with a teaching about slavery. He says that the one you obey, becomes your master, and you its slave. Either you obey sin, and you are its slave unto death, or you obey Father YHWH, unto righteousness.
What is righteousness? Well, that's pretty easy, thanks to John. John defines righteousness as doing what is right (1 John 3:7).
But then Paul continues in verse 17, stating that we were servants of sin, and although we did not know what to obey, we obeyed what we were entrusted with. And then, we were set free from sin (by the grace of our Saviour) and became slaves of righteousness.
Now, he goes on by saying that we, while we were sinners, presented ourselves as slaves to uncleanness and lawlessness (rebellious sin – lawlessness doesn't refer to a single sin, but rather sin that you refuse to stop doing, partly because of rebellion against Father), we must now (after we are no longer sinners) present ourselves as slaves to righteousness, and that this results in holiness.
Verses 20 – 23 speaks of the fruit that this bears. First we bore fruit that we should've been ashamed of, which results in death, while we now bear fruit that results in holiness, which results in everlasting life in the end.
John 14:15 "If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.
Beloved friend, do not be deceived by our traditions, incorrect interpretations and other lies and deceit that's been handed down from generation to generation. The root of these things we have been taught, is Satan. We, the church, must wake up and realise that we have been taught error. We must wake up and realise that we have inherited lies and other worthless things, in which there is no profit (Jer 16:19).
Please ask yourself this question. What is it really about for you? Why are you rebelling to Father's word? Which of His commandments are so bad for you, that you openly rebel against it? Which of His commandments are so difficult to keep that you refuse to be lead by them? Which of His commands are so complicated that you refuse to obey? What is it really about for you? Do you not realise that your eternal soul depends on this?! Stop messing around and leave your rebellion behind you. Do yourself the favour, and start obeying your Father, or it might be too late!

Features New Technology Production
Canada Poultry and Products Annual Overview
By Canadian Poultry
Canada Poultry and Products
Excerpt from the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service
• After Russia, Canada is the second most important export market for U.S. poultry meat. In 2004, U.S. poultry meat exports to Canada reached a record $332 million, accounting for more than 15% of total U.S. poultry meat exports to the world.
• Canadian chicken imports from Brazil, which first made their way into the Canadian poultry market in 2002, declined 25% in the first six months of 2005 from their level during the same period last year. Imports of cooked chicken from Thailand, on the other hand, rose 78% during January-June 2005 from the comparative year earlier period.
• For 2005, Canadian chicken production has the potential to reach 1.0 million metric tons for the first time. According to the Canadian Chicken Farmers, production in the January-June period of 2005 was almost 7% above the level for the first half of 2004.
• Canadian turkey production in the first 7.5 months of 2005 rose nearly 10% above the level from the same period a year ago reflecting a higher production target set by Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency. Total Canadian turkey output slipped almost 3% during 2004, as the turkey industry was also impacted by the avian influenza outbreak in British Columbia.
• Since the mid-1990s, both the Canadian chicken and turkey industries have demonstrated strong export growth due to policies that establish production allocations targeted for export and to GOC tariff rate quota allocation policies that permit special supplementary imports by Canadian poultry processors under an import to re-export program. For 2005, increased exports are expected to result in Canada being a net exporter of both chicken and turkey on a quantity basis.
Broiler Chicken: Production
Despite a major disruption to poultry production in British Columbia (B.C.) in early 2004 due to an outbreak of avian influenza and the subsequent shutdown of a major portion of the B.C. poultry industry, Canadian chicken production reached 946,125 metric tons, almost 2% above the 2003 level. National chicken production was bolstered by the Chicken West Program, a program developed by the Chicken Farmers of Canada (CFC) to ramp up the production in the rest of Canada and ship the resulting product as whole eviscerated birds to B.C. processors, allowing them to maintain their operations and service their customers.
For 2005, Canadian chicken production has the potential to reach 1.0 million metric tons for the first time. According to the CFC, production in the January-June period of 2005 was almost 7% above the level for the first half of 2004. Part of the year over year increase is attributable to lower production in the first six months of 2004. Similarly, the CFC reports that chicken consumption in the January-June period of 2005 was 2.5% higher than a year ago. On balance, post forecasts total 2005 chicken output to increase approximately 5-6% over last year and reach about 1.0 million metric tons. For 2006, chicken production is forecast to increase another 1.0-2.0%.
The global access to Canada's chicken market is determined by a NAFTA formula of 7.5% of the previous year's Canadian production of chicken as published by Statistics Canada. Based on this formula, Canada's chicken tariff rate quota (TRQ) for 2005 is 72,538 metric tons. Imports of broiler chicken cuts, fresh or frozen above the TRQ, are assessed an over access duty ranging from 238% to 249%. However, the NAFTA agreement recognizes a supplementary import system which allows additional imports (at zero duty) when Canadian supplies fail to meet market demand. In addition, the GOC allows special imports of chicken (at the duty-free rate) for Canadian processors who manufacture chicken products for re-export and to processors who manufacture processed chicken items (and other products containing chicken) that are not subject to a TRQ (i.e., similar products of U.S. manufacture that enter Canada duty-free under NAFTA).
Total Imports
Total Canadian chicken imports from all sources reached a record 100,000 metric tons during 2004. Almost one-third of the total were classified under the "import to re-export" program mentioned above.
Imports from the United States
U.S. chicken exports to Canada exceeded 80,000 metric tons during 2004, well above the global TRQ of 69,700 metric tons reflecting the supply shortfall in British Columbia brought about by the avian influenza outbreak in that province and the associated eradication actions by Canadian government authorities. In the period following the 2004 avian influenza outbreak, the GOC issued special supplementary import permits to importers and B.C. processors over and above the TRQ to help alleviate the supply shortfall situation in that province. Virtually all of the increase in chicken imports from the United States in 2004 was whole birds (more than 8,000 MT) imported into British Columbia to enable B.C. processors to preserve their customer base. Reflecting more normal production patterns in Canada in 2005, U.S. chicken exports to Canada are forecast to decline from the 2004 record level that reflected the B.C. avian influenza-associated production shortfall.
Imports from Other Countries
Canada recognized the poultry meat inspection system of Brazil on August 2002, but initially very little Brazilian product was imported. However, during 2004, Canada imported almost 18,808 metric tons of frozen chicken from Brazil, almost one-fifth of total Canadian chicken imports. Cooked chicken product was also imported from Thailand during 2004. Imports of chicken from Brazil in the first six months of 2005 were 25% below the level for the same period last year. Imports from Thailand, on the other hand, rose 78% during January-June 2005 from the comparative year earlier period.
Chicken Exports
In the January-June period of 2005, total Canadian chicken exports reached 57,403 metric tons – almost 60% above the level for the first half of 2004. Canadian chicken exports in the first six months of 2005 to all major markets in the United States, South Africa, and the Philippines rose sharply above 2004 first half levels. Combined, the strong increase in Canadian chicken exports and the predicted decline in chicken imports during 2005 could push Canada to a net export position in chicken for the first time.
Turkey Production
Canadian turkey production in the first 7.5 months of 2005 rose nearly 10% above the level from the same period a year ago reflecting a higher production target set by the Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency. Total turkey output slipped almost 3% during 2004 as the turkey industry suffered the effects of the avian influenza outbreak. In a normal year, B.C. turkey production accounts for about 11% of total Canadian turkey output. For 2006, Canadian turkey production is forecast to show little change from the 2005 level.

Millions coming to Stewart, Houston counties via state's IMPROVE Act
Mark Hicks
Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle
DOVER, Tenn. — Nearly $5 million will be coming to Stewart and Houston counties, primarily for bridge replacement, as a result of the state legislature's recent passage of the IMPROVE Act.
Another $21 million will be coming to the counties and their municipalities over the next 15 years to help pay for the backlog of road and transportation-related projects.
The IMPROVE Act was the result of the state needing a better long-term funding formula than just a gas tax for maintaining roads and building new highways. Higher mileage vehicles, along with electric and hybrid cars, has caused the money generated from the gas tax to decline in recent years.
Because Tennessee pays for road projects as money is available, less money from the gas tax led to a $10.5 billion backlog of projects statewide. It was estimated the backlog would take 59 years to complete under the previous funding method, but now the time frame has been cut to 15 years.
Legislators decided to raise the gas tax 6 cents — 4 cents this year, followed by 1 cent the next two years — and for diesel fuel the tax increases 10 cents — 6 cents this year, and 2 cents more in the following two years.
Group seeks reform of state road funding
Additionally, auto registration fees will increase by $5, as well as a $125 user fee for electric and hybrid vehicle owners.
Shelley Courington, advocacy director for AARP Tennessee, said the different methods for raising revenue helps spread the burden.
"Even visitors to Tennessee will share in the (gas) tax," she said. "They will help pay for the roads."
Courington brought the message about the IMPROVE Act benefits at a news conference recently at Stewart County Courthouse, as well as in Houston County.
While she, and others across the state were visiting all 95 counties to provide information about the new legislation on behalf of the Transportation Coalition of Tennessee, Courington said AARP was involved because of another part of the IMPROVE Act — property tax relief for eligible elderly and disabled homeowners.
Additionally, it cuts the grocery tax for a $125 million estimated savings and reduces manufacturer's business taxes for another $113 million in savings.
"What is saved from the tax relief is discretionary dollars people can spend here in the county," Courington said.
Stewart County Highway Superintendent Gary Page said the additional transportation money is welcomed because paving costs about $100,000 per mile. Also, the county has about 111 miles of gravel roads to maintain.
Dover Town Manager Kim Wallace agreed road maintenance is expensive, noting that Dover is spending $585,000 to repave six miles of some heavier-traveled streets that lead to Donelson Parkway.
Here's a breakdown of projects and money earmarked for the two counties.
Stewart County:
Replace bridges on Cox Hollow Road over Standing Rock Creek, Bumpus Mills Road over Morgan Branch, East Fork Leatherwood Road over Harris Branch, Pleasant Hill Road over Blue Creek and Upper Standing Rock Road over Terrapin Run Branch. Total cost $1,478,000

Биография
Родился в селе Бобково ныне Рубцовского района Алтайского края в крестьянской семье. Окончил 5 классов сельской школы. Потом семья переехала в город Рубцовск, где отец работал машинистом на паровозе. С 1 сентября 1941 года по 11 февраля 1942 года учился в 6-м классе школы имени Пушкина в Рубцовске. 18 февраля 1942 года поступил на завод «Алтайсельмаш» помощником литейщика. Работал помощником вагранщика, вагранщиком, выпарщиком литья. В связи с принадлежностью завода к Народному Комиссариату миномётного вооружения и выпуском военной продукции Иван Федоренко 11 апреля 1942 года дал подписку о неразглашении государственной тайны.

10 июня 1942 года Федоренко И. С. осуждён народным судом 2-го участка Рубцовского района за отказ от работы 22 мая 1942 года по причине невыдачи ему спецодежды. На основании части 2 статьи 5 Указа Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 26 июня 1940 года он был приговорён к исправительно-трудовым работам по месту работы сроком на 6 месяцев с вычетом из заработной платы 20 процентов в доход государства.

В 1943 году призван в ряды Красной Армии Рубцовским военным комиссариатом Алтайского края. В ноябре 1944 года вступил в ряды ВЛКСМ. На фронте с декабря 1944 года, служил в должности командира орудия 4-й батареи 1137-го лёгкого артиллерийского полка.

Приказом по 1137-му лап 1-го Белорусского фронта №: 1/н от: 19.01.1945 года красноармеец Федоренко-связист 2-й батареи 1-го дивизиона-награжден медалью «За отвагу» за восстановление связи во время артподготовки

Сержант Иван Федоренко особо отличился при форсировании реки Одер и удержании плацдарма у города Кюстрин. 5 февраля 1945 года при отражении десяти контратак пехоты и танков противника он из своего орудия сжёг четыре танка и уничтожил более десятка противников.

6 февраля 1945 года противники силами до батальона пехоты при поддержке двенадцати танков предприняли шесть контратак. Командир орудия Федоренко метким огнём подбил два танка и один бронетранспортёр. Несмотря на большие потери, враг продолжал наступление. Подпустив фашистов на расстояние до ста метров, сержант Федоренко И. С. огнём из автомата уничтожил двадцать солдат противника. Получив смертельное ранение, продолжал сражаться. Похоронен в населённом пункте .

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 31 мая 1945 года за образцовое выполнение боевых заданий командования и проявленные при этом мужество и героизм сержанту Федоренко Ивану Сергеевичу посмертно присвоено звание Героя Советского Союза.

Награждён орденом Ленина, медалями.

The teacher chooses a letter from the alphabet. Then each student must say a word that begins with that letter. If a student repeats a word that has already been said, then he/she is out of the game. The game ends when only one student remains. That student is the winner. In high level classes students lose if they say a past form of the verb. Example:see-saw. You can increase the difficulty by adding a timer. Only allow each student 5 seconds to think of a word.

FAA Top Level Organization Chart headed by Administrator Daniel K. Elwell

Maryland officials are asking a federal court to urge the Federal Aviation Administration to resolve complaints about noise pollution stemming from low-flying planes at BWI and other airports after the agency declined to respond to the state earlier this year.
The petition is the latest in a series of requests the state has filed as residents who live near Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Reagan National in Virginia seek relief from noise from low flight patterns.
The most recent petition asks the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to review a September letter from the FAA, in which the agency declined to address Maryland's requests to adjust flight paths that have added to noise pollution, bothering residents who live near the airports.
Louder plane noise has been a nuisance near airports across the country since 2014, when the FAA implemented the NextGen GPS-based air traffic system, creating lower flight paths that produce more noise.
In June, Maryland filed a pair of petitions in federal court and with the FAA asking that the agency alter flight paths that have upset neighbors of BWI Marshall and Reagan National airports since NextGen was implemented.
"Maryland citizens continue to have their lives disrupted and are subjected to intolerable noise pollution due to the NextGen program's flight paths," Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh said in a statement Friday.
"For months, the FAA has refused to respond to our request for additional environmental surveys and changes to flight paths at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport."
In July, the FAA cut off talks with the Maryland Aviation Administration and the BWI Community Roundtable, saying the state's legal action ended the agency's ability to continue discussions with the groups. Neighbors of BWI formed the roundtable, which had been the FAA's preferred conduit for feedback, last year.
A $60 million concourse expansion is planned for BWI to support Southwest Airlines' growth, but the BWI Community Roudtable asked the Maryland Aviation Administration in September to halt expansions at the airport until the FAA reduces noise from low-flying planes.

Q: opening external wepage and closing it when redirected to particular url in ionic framework I am trying to create a simple mobile app where in the user will login with oauth login on our django server.

I implemented the complete flow but after completing the login I am unable to close the page which I opened.Here is the code snippet.

        }
    });
};

(the event listener is also not working) After the problem occurred I started with new project where in there was just a button and on ng-click on that button . I called the function below.
$scope.outofwrld = function() {
    try {
        alert("1");
        var loginUrl = "http://www.google.com/"
        window.open(loginUrl, '_self', 'location=no,toolbar=yes');
        alert("2")
    } catch (err) {
        alert(err);
    }
}

but now the alerts are working well but I cant see the window. I suppose that the window is being opened in the background if so how do I bring it to the foreground and close it.
P.S. I am using cordova inappbrowser plugin

Life with Lynnie: London, Ontario & H. B. K!
Originally, I planned to write about something else in today's Life with Lynnie (LwL) entry. But, that was before yesterday happened!
Of course, yesterday was Valentine's Day. Hopefully, you enjoyed the day. Or, at least made it through!
In addition to being Valentine's Day, yesterday was also another important day. At least, to my family. To be specific, my daughter P and her family.
It was P's boyfriend, K's birthday. Happy Birthday, K!
Unfortunately, K didn't get a chance to spend his special day, in the way he may have wished to enjoy his special day. Instead, he went to London, Ontario, with my daughter P, as she needed to see a specialist, there.
To be honest, I am happy and grateful that P went to London, to see a doctor, there; in my opinion, this was a true blessing. As you know, P is Rheumatoid Arthritic and has Lupus. Over the last few months, she has not felt well and has had to receive blood transfusions.
I praise God He provided a good physician for P. He changed her meds, letting her know that the previous meds may have been contributing to the bone marrow problems she has been experiencing. Hopefully, these new meds will make a difference. Please pray for P. Thank you. May God bless you, for this.
Being Valentine's Day, I visited my daughter B and her family. Of course, my grandchildren were happy to receive the sweet treats I brought with me, to celebrate my love for them. B, was happy, too! They all love chocolate!
Afterwards, since P and K had returned to Windsor, I made my way over to P's, to visit. Some of my grandchildren were there, but some were not.
In any case, we celebrated K's birthday! Here's a pic, taken just after K blew out his birthday candles. Notice that the birthday cake I made for him, wasn't overwhelmed with candles. P suggested I write his age on the cake, and just use one candle to wish him Happy Birthday and one candle, for good luck. So, that's what I did!


IT'S OFFICIAL: Kylie Jenner is now a single girl!
Another day, another murmur that Kylie Jenner and Tyga have split up, but this time, it seems like it's legit.
Multiple sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair are officially taking some space.
"They tend to take little breaks all the time and then get back together. It's definitely possible they'll work things out again," one source revealed.
The couple have had a pretty turbulent relationship since first being linked together back in 2014, but usually, they pull through stronger than ever.
But, as much as it seems like they will always be okay, this could be the final straw. You never know.
It doesn't help that Kylie's brother Rob Kardashian has a child with Tyga's ex, Blac Chyna, who also has a kid with Tyga.

Apply for a Microgrant and Let Launch TN Advance Your Business
Launch TN, the state's public-private partnership focused on supporting the development of high-growth companies, recently announced the Microgrants program – ideal for TAEBC members.
Tennessee-based early-stage companies currently or in the near-term that will be applying for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I, Phase II or Fast-Track award can use the Microgrants program to increase the quality of their application. Microgrants can provide financial support for quality SBIR/STTR grant-writing assistance.
TAEBC member Renewable Algal Energy (RAE) is an example of how a program like this can help jump start a business model.
As RAE CEO and TAEBC board member Jeff Kanel explained in a Teknovation column, RAE has created what it describes as "novel breakthrough technology to produce sustainable, economically viable products from microalgae." Those offerings range from algal oil as a feedstock for renewable diesel fuel to protein, carotenoids, and omega-3 fatty acids for animal and human nutrition.
Three of the four SBIRs that Kanel submitted were directly related to evolving RAE's technology. The fourth, focusing on algae, was submitted by Kanel before RAE was founded. For many start-ups, an early funding source is an SBIR award.
RAE started down the SBIR trail in 2007 in a purposeful way. Kanel said success starts with understanding the federal agency's need. In his case, it was the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The initial Phase I for RAE was submitted in 2007, and the award was made in 2008.
His recommended approach – focusing on the defined DOE need – characterized RAE's responses that won the Phase II and III awards. Kanel identified several keys for success. They included utilization of solid project management tools, inclusion of well-defined milestones and deliverables, and a clear understanding of the critical success factors.
Over a roughly six-year period, RAE successfully won Phase I, II and III awards that have proven the viability of the technology, helped fund work to validate the financial model and scalability of the technology, and deploy a semi-works facility.
Today, RAE has strategic relationships, customers, and a technology proving ground in Arizona as well as a North-American developer with a site that is permitted for the deployment of RAE Technology.
Phase II, again funded by DOE, ran from 2009 to 2012, with RAE collecting considerable amounts of data to show financial viability and technology scalability.
Phase III, which ran from 2012 into 2014, was an accelerator period when RAE deployed the technology in a semi-works scale effort designed to reduce the technology risk. This final phase helped RAE to secure contracts with interested partners.
In mid-2014, the company announced two strategic partnerships. One was an off-take agreement with Neste Oil Corporation, the world's largest producer of renewable diesel fuel. Under the arrangement, Neste can purchase RAE's crude algae oil on a commercial scale for use as a feedstock for producing renewable fuel.
And, all of this success was made possible through SBIR grants.
TAEBC encourages members to consider applying for the Microgrants program to help navigate the SBIR/STTR process.

Sorry for the long delay in updating you on the project's progress. I got back from my trip to the conference in the Czech Republic and have been swamped with family stuff, end of school stuff and dealing with the effects of jet lag, which seems to have hit harder this time than any other trip I've ever taken. However, the project has been moving forward!
Nikki has been busy testing the patterns Caroline made, and they are turning out great!
With the extra project funds, I've been able to purchase a special book scanner which photographs the book, instead of needing to flatten, and potentially damage, the book on a regular scanner. This will allow me to easily scan in the catalogs and other books with images I want to use in the finished book. I've begun to organize all of the materials, images and information for each of the corsets into their own file, which is the first step in the writing process.

The different versions of Microsoft Office include a vulnerability that, once exploited, allows users' personal data such as passwords and other sensitive information to be recovered.
The bug was discovered by the Israel-based company Mimecast. The company specializing in cybersecurity warned Microsoft on November 6. A few days later, Microsoft was able to reproduce the bug and develop a patch, thanks to the information provided by Mimecast.
The Israeli company discovered during a simple search on the origin of a false positive that some Office files with ActiveX controls were causing memory leaks. After further investigation, the company noticed that a file called MSO.dll was abnormally distributing the memory content of its process.
According to Matthew Gardiner of Mimecast, "Memory leakage leads to the permanent writing of memory contents to different Microsoft Office files and makes it possible for sensitive information to leak unintentionally".
Such a breach allows a cybercriminal to compromise the system and access personal data such as passwords, by creating a simple malicious file to be opened by the victim. The attacker must also know the location of the file's memory address to perform his exploit.
Microsoft confirms that the vulnerability in question, identified as CVE-2019-0560, affects Office 2010, Office 2013, Office 2016, Office 2016 and Office 2019, as well as Office 365 ProPlus. The patches for each of these versions were released in the latest security updates of January 2019 and protect Office users from possible attack.

Sri Lanka has been able to build a positive international image subsequent to its ability to make changes to the economy during the last two years, Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said. The Minister points out such changes in the local economy have been recognized internationally although it is not palatable to certain extremist politicians.
Minister Karunanayake stated these views during a ceremony held at the Finance Ministry yesterday (27th March) to mark the conferment of the award for the Best Finance Minister of Asia Pacific Region on him by an internationally recognized London based Financial Magazine "The Banker".
"We wouldn't have been able to achieve this victory without the leadership of President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. I made a request soon after I assumed duty on January 10, 2015. That is to work together like one family and take the ministry activities forward. My request was honored. Certain groups in Sri Lanka looked at our work with a crooked eye but our work has been assessed and appreciated internationally. This award is clear evidence to our good work and our journey forward. We should use this international recognition in building up our country.
A country cannot run on loans. Loans should be turned into investment. When independence was declared for our country in 1948, Japan remained equal to Sri Lanka. However, per capita income in Japan is currently USD 55,000 while ours is USD 4000. What is the barrier standing before us? It is the way of our thinking, our work and the way of how we negotiate with the rest of the world. Therefore, we have a good opportunity to think anew.
When we assumed office, the country's revenue was not sufficient to repay loan installments. But unity and the commitment by the people helped us to make achievements. We are now earning more than that of the recurrent expenditure. Therefore we do not need to obtain loans to repay already taken loans. The difficulties faced by the people today are a commitment that made to ensure a better tomorrow. The existing taxes will be reduced within a short time and benefits will be passed on to the people soon", the minister said.
Parliamentarians Nalin Bandara, Hector Appuhamy and Acting Secretary of the Finance Ministry Chandra Ekanayake, Deputy Secretaries S.R. Atygalle and A.R. Deshapriya and several ministry officials participated in this event.
