Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten

Im „Erlebniszentrum Naturgewalten Sylt“ erwartet Sie eine Ausstellung mit spielerischer Wissensvermittlung und vielen interaktiven Elementen. Das Zentrum will für Vielfalt, Schönheit und Schutz der Insel Sylt und den Nationalpark Wattenmeer begeistern, die Bedeutung von Naturgewalten erlebbar machen und aktuelle Meeresforschung darstellen. In drei Bereichen werden die Themen „Kräfte der Nordsee“, „Leben mit Naturgewalten“ und „Klima, Wetter, Klimaforschung“ auf unterhaltsame und spannende Weise dargeboten. Auf 1.500 Quadratmetern Ausstellungsfläche informieren wir z.B. anschaulich über Wetterereignisse, Leben in Watt und Dünen, Küstenschutz und erneuerbare Energien.

Auch wir hatten kürzlich ausreichend Gelegenheit zumindest den Wind auf Sylt als Naturgewalt vor Ort kennenzulernen. Der Besuch des Erlebniszentrums in List lohnt sich! Man sollte aber unbedingt ein paar Stunden Zeit mitbringen …

Gone fishing ...

We were there …

I started to get paranoid yesterday when my meeting with Wolfgang Hilpert and Thomas Vollmering was scheduled at the same time as Ginger Gatling’s session on NetWeaver BPM, then they didn’t show for the meeting – was there something they didn’t want me to know? However, it was just a scheduling glitch, and eventually we met up so that they could brief me on the current release and what’s coming later this year.

We waited in the meeting room in across the hallway as defined in the meeting invite. With a little delay, I think we ended up having a great discussion (again!), Sandy.

Easter on the sled

Just returned from a relaxing Easter weekend in the Black Forest. More observations to follow later. Just a few impressions can be found here:

Our last stop on this extended weekend trip was the Steinwasen Park:

There begins the rapid descent. Get a sled and enjoy "toboggan fun" during the summer.

Weekend on the slope

On Saturday morning, we looked out of the window and had this view.

 

 

 

A little later, Julian and I headed out to the nearest slopes less that half an hour from our home in Wilhelmsfeld. On Saturday we took the green slope. Today I was quite impressed with Julian as he managed to finish the red slope (10 km) in a decent time and without any complaint.

Bruce Silver's has written a White Paper about SAP NetWeaver BPM

SAP Network Blogs: "Don't miss Bruce Silver's latest white paper on SAP NetWeaver BPM that 'explains SAP's place in the BPM landscape and describes its new offering in that arena'. The paper addresses the challenge on how to provide end-to-end business processes that go beyond organizational and geographical boundaries, i.e. how to provide a 'holistic view'."

Obama Pressures Wall Street Over Bonuses - NYTimes.com: "“There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses,” Mr. Obama said during an appearance in the Oval Office with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner. “Now’s not that time. And that’s a message that I intend to send directly to them, I expect Secretary Geithner to send to them.”"

Very different statement about values than what we saw during the past 8 years in the White House.
