Michael D. Clark (South Creek Ltd.)
8 foot, 5 weight, 3 piece, 2 tip, Ruby taper "Uinta"
I love bamboo fly rods. I have a web page devoted to that infatuation HERE.
Over the last decade, I've collected and fished a number of bamboo fly rods. This rod represents the culmination of my bamboo fly rod collecting. It was the first custom rod I ordered, and the last custom rod I received. This is due to Mike's very long wait list.
I was lucky enough to live very close to Mike's shop when I ordered the rod. His shop is in Lyons, Colorado, which was just a 15 minute drive from where I lived for almost 16 years. Because of this, when I ordered my rod, I was able to make very sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. Mike took me out to a grassy field near his shop and let me lawn cast a bunch of different tapers and configurations of rod. Ultimately, I ended up choosing a rod in what Mike refers to as his "Ruby" taper. It's a softer, somewhat slower action 5 weight taper that gives terrific feedback and control.
After I chose the taper I wanted, we went back to his shop and I picked out the specifc piece of wood that I wanted for the reel seat. He put my name on it and set it aside for the day when he would finally make my rod.
I worked with Mike's terrific assistant, Kathy, to choose the colors for wraps, agate guide, etc. I pretty much just followed her advice on these issues, figuring that she probably has a better eye than I do for what makes a beautiful rod. I commission my custom rods with a specific piece of water or area in mind. This rod was going to be my Flat Tops rod, for the Flat Tops Wilderness, one of my favorite places to fish in Colorado.
After that, there was nothing left to do but wait. So I waited. And waited, and waited. Mike's rods are in extremely high demand, and he only makes about 40 rods a year. Because of this, his waiting list is long indeed. It requires a fair amount of patience to acquire a custom rod him. I'm normally not the patient type. I'm pretty much a poster boy for instant gratification. In this case, however, I really had no choice.
Years later, when I finally received the email from Mike that he was getting ready to start work on my rod, my situation had changed quite a bit. I had moved from Colorado to Utah, and was no longer fishing in the Flat Tops regularly. Instead, I was close to the Uintas, which is a beautiful mountain wilderness area full of great fishing opportunities. Like the Flat Tops, the Uintas has great fishing in both lakes, rivers, and small streams, so a 5 weight rod would provide the versatility needed to fish all of these conditions.
A couple of months after I got my e-mail, the rod arrived. It was beautiful, and I would have been really happy, except that it arrived in the dead of winter, when most of my favorite fishing venues were covered with snow and ice. I took it out to fish the Provo tailwaters a couple of times, but I had to wait for summer to give the rod a real test in its namesake Uinta Wilderness waters.
After numerous days of use, both close to home and in the Uintas, on lakes, creeks, and rivers, I can say with conviction that I love this rod. The softer action is terrific for the fishing I do. The rod has enough backbone to cast a good distance out on a lake when necessary. However, where the rod really shines is in short to mid-distance dry fly presentations. It's great at helping me control the line for getting around weird obstacles and odd casting angles, trying to get the fly in under brush at just the right position to avoid branches that are blocking my cast. It's great for mid-cast corrections which keep me out of troublesome spots.
With this rod, my bamboo collecting days have drawn to a close, and I'm no longer a bamboo collector, just a bamboo fisher. I've got eight bamboo rods I love to fish ranging from a 3 weight to a couple of 6 weights. These rods pretty much cover all the bases for me, and I can find a rod in my quiver to match any trout fishing that I want to do. Now, I'm just trying to make more time to fish so I can use all of these rods like they were meant to be used.

You do not understand how bad Anubis is. He was banished by the System Lords because his crimes were unspeakable. Even to the Goa'uld."
Anubis was the most powerful and dangerous Goa'uld in history. Once a powerfulSystem Lord, Anubis was banished by Ra and the others because his actions were deemed unspeakable, even among the Goa'uld. He was believed to have been destroyed, but managed to escape and trick Oma Desala into helping him toascend. The Ancients did not want the Goa'uld to join them on the higher planes of existence after learning of his trickery, and forced him into a state between mortal existence and ascension.
Because of his knowledge of the Ancients, Anubis amassed unimaginable advanced technologies. He gathered strength for hundreds of years before returning to take his revenge upon the System Lords and dominate the Milky Waygalaxy, before his permanent defeat in 2005.
Long ago, Anubis first arose as a warlord in the service of Apep. His victories earned the praise and respect of Apep, but earned the jealousy of his fellow underlords. However, Anubis' ambition was even greater. Exposing Apep to the unstable effects of the Ancient healing device, Anubis learned of valuable Ancient weapons: the Eyes of the Goa'uld, six jewels used to power aplanet destroying weapon. Eventually, he felt his position was so secure that he murdered Apep, removing the symbiote from his host and devouring Apep before the others, and declared himself Emperor of the Goa'uld.
Anubis, however, had seriously underestimated the followers of Apep and the power of the rival underlords. Ra was able to rally the others in Apep's name, and in a three hundred year civil war, defeated Anubis. Ra emerged as the new rulerof the Goa'uld Empire, and Anubis was banished. The superweapon was destroyed, and Ra redistributed the eyes among himself, Apophis, Osiris, Setesh, and Tiamat.
Thousands of years later, Anubis reemerged, and offered to destroy the Asgard in return for the leadership of the System Lords. A furious Ra waged another war against him, but Anubis was able to survive.

Good or Bad for the Jews
"Good or Bad for the Jews"
Many years ago, and for many years, I would travel to Morocco to visit uncles, cousins, and my paternal grandmother. Some lived in Tangiers;...

Was it 7 or 8? A Little Miscommunication Among Friends.
Among others in the U.S. Embassy I got invited to an event at the Japanese Embassy in honor of the Emperor. You guessed it, the reception was on December 7. A couple of us joked about it, but, off we went. Japanese receptions were always among the best: superb food and drink; everything artfully and tastefully done; and their diplomats were nice, well informed, and seemed to like Americans. As the party was winding down, I slid over to one of my Japanese contacts and kidded him about the date, "You have guts throwing this event December 7."
He seemed perplexed, "We decided to hold it today instead of tomorrow, because of American sensitivities about that day."
Now I became the perplexed one, "What's so sensitive for us about December 8?"
My Japanese friend looked at me as though I were the biggest ignoramus on the planet, "You know, Pearl Harbor attack day."
I couldn't help but laugh at this bit of international miscommunication. I told him, "On this side of the international date line, the attack took place on December 7."
He, however, did not laugh. Mortified, he turned bright red. I thought he would order the entire staff to commit seppuku on the lawn. He was so embarrassed I got embarrassed. He could not stop apologizing for the error; I started apologizing for having brought up the matter. For weeks afterward, whenever he saw me he would apologize; I would apologize, too.
A day after the reception, the Japanese Ambassador sent our Ambassador a bottle of very expensive sake with a long note. Our Ambassador, a wonderful, rough, tough oil man--and a Marine in the Pacific during WWII--called on me in a staff meeting, "What the hell is this about? Why is the Japanese Ambassador apologizing to me?"
I explained.
He smiled and said, "Ah! Well, then this is yours." He handed me the sake.

A lovely story. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
another variation of 'at sixes and sevens' perhapsReplyDelete
Interesting that despite the legacy of WWII, US and Japanese relations have remained pretty much on an even keel.ReplyDelete
Just thought of something: for your Japanese contact, December 7 1941 would've been December 8 in Tokyo. International Date Line and all that.ReplyDelete
Awww man! I feel sorry for those guys, trying so hard to avoid giving offense :)ReplyDelete

When I was stationed in Dar es Salaam we had a similar experience. The embassy softball league had us scheduled to play the Japanese embassy December 7th. We all joked about it and were surprised the Japanese didn't postpone it. One of our members asked one of the Japanese players about it and learned the same thing you did: they think of Pearl Harbor as having taken place on the 8th.ReplyDelete
Oh, and as for events at the Japanese embassy or residence always being lavish and tasteful affairs, the diplomats taken hostage at the Japanese residence in Lima by MRTA terrorists in 1996 would disagree. I am forever thankful my senior FSN had chosen that day to give my wife and me a farewell dinner. We listened to developments on the radio. Some of the hostages were in the residence four months.
Well looks like I messed up and my comment got eaten. Try again, Though lamentable in some ways, it is good we can forget fairly quickly some things. If not we could end up like Albania and the "Law of Leke". Was the sake good?ReplyDelete
My dad was a WWII vet, and fought in the Pacific Theater against the Japanese. He saw so much combat they let him out a bit early. Yet, after all that, in later years when he was working for the phone company, he dealt with many Japanese businessmen on the most cordial of terms, and genuinely liked them. Funny how that worked out.ReplyDelete
For years the pacifists used to hold a demonstration at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on Hiroshima Day. Some of us would hold a counter-protest. Finally we decided to hold our own "protest," on December 7th, at the Federal court house in Dayton (traditional location for demonstrations). It wasn't really a protest, but a patriotic rally, although the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association did show up. By coincidence, the Soviet premier was visiting the US that day (that'll let you know how long ago it was). The local TV interviewed me. I told the interviewer that the Japanese of today had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor, and they were our allies. The Soviet Premier picked a bad day to begin his visit to the US.ReplyDelete

I was stationed in pearl harbor for several years, and in 89 (I think it was) on dec seventh. I had a polite japanese couple come up to me (on the base next to the japanese sub, overlooking the arizona memorial on the other side).ReplyDelete
"So Sawwy, Sir, could you direct me to arizona memorial" and bows.
I looked at him, turned and said, "right where you fucking left it..and pointed over the water.
He could not stop apologizing and bowing. I laughed and said to him, "you have to have a sense of humor about the past sometimes."

How to Set Up and Use Google Contacts Sync on Android
by Jenefey Aaron Updated on 2020-02-18 / Update for Android Recovery
A really good feature that Google provides to users is the ability to sync data from users' smartphones to the cloud. By using the feature, you can make a change on the data on your smartphone and it instantly reflects on the cloud version in the web and vice versa. This guide, though, is all about Google contacts sync feature that lets you sync the contacts from your device to Google Contacts cloud.
With the Google Contacts sync feature enabled on your device, you can add a contact on the web interface of the app and it will instantly be available on your device. Similarly, if you make a change to a contact on your device, it will reflect on the web in real time for you. Let's see how you can set these things up on your device.
Part 1: How to Set up Google Contacts Sync
If you're new to Google Contacts sync, you might want to learn how you can set it up first. Fortunately, there are no extra steps involved in enabling the feature as long as a Google account is associated with your device. That means, when you setup your phone with a Google account, your contacts already start to sync with that particular Google account.
If you don't have a Google account linked to your device and or you would like to add a new account to sync your contacts with, the following steps should help you:
Head to Menu > Settings > Accounts on your device and tap on Add account to add a new account to your device.
On the following screen, choose Google as you're adding a Google account to your device.
You will be asked to sign-in using your Google account credentials. Do so and move forward.
Part 2: How to Sync Google Contacts
Now that a Google account has been linked to your Android device, you may want to learn how you can sync your contacts. Well, this section is all about that and let's learn how to do that:
Head to Menu > Settings > Accounts > Google on your device and tap on the Google account you want to sync your contacts with.
On the following screen, ensure the toggle for Contacts is in the ON position.
Tap on three-dots in the top-right corner and select the option that says Sync now.
Your device will begin to sync your phone's data including your contacts with your Google account. Once it's done, you'll have all of your contacts synced with Google Contacts.
Part 3: How to Fix Google Contacts Not Syncing Error
If your contacts are not syncing even after following the above steps, you will need to troubleshoot the sync issue as instructed below.
Ensure that your contacts are not restricted from syncing by your device's data usage feature. This is often the cause of the issue and it can be fixed by going to Menu > Settings > Data usage > Data usage control. Make sure there are no restrictions on your contacts.
Another thing you may want to do is clear the cache for the contacts app as it could be causing the issue. You can do that by going to Menu > Settings > Apps > Application List > Contacts > Storage and tapping on the Clear Cache button. It will clear the cache files for the app on your device.
If the above didn't resolve the issue for you, you may try removing and then adding your Google account back to your device. The removal process is quite straightforward. Just head to Menu > Settings > Accounts > Google and tap on your Google account, then tap on three-dots in the top-right corner and select Remove account. After your account has been removed, add it again as shown in the first section of this guide.
Part 4: How to Recover Lost Contacts
It sometimes happens that you end-up losing your contacts when you re-add your accounts. In that case, you're highly recommended to use a data recovery software to help you recover contacts on your Android device.
One of the best option available is Tenorshare Android Data Recovery that helps you recover lost contacts on your Android device. All you need to do is just install the software and let it do its magic and your contacts will be back on your device. It works equally well for recovering other kind of data such as your photos and videos.
We hope you like our all about Google contacts sync guide as it walks you through the steps of setting up Google Contacts and actually enabling contacts sync on your device. And in case you have lost your contacts, you can use the software mentioned above to recover the lost contacts on your device.

Like our last several post, here's some back and forth from a conversation
- Republican Gov. Scott Walker survives Recall Election.
This election has been touted as a test case for the national elections in Nov. This affirmation of tea party/conservatism in a swing state that went Obama in 2008 is a good sign for Nov.
- My fear is that the republican half of this country is divided like crazy. Many dont care for Romney. And he is the only hope that we get a republican. And not a very good one. So if our republican votes are all over the place as opposed to getting behind one man. Then we get Obama again. Don't get me wrong you should vote for who you believe in but that is exactly what will get us Obama again. I think the Republicans are all over place and not everyone cares for Romney. Hell they are still voting for Santorum in some places and he has dropped out. I hope like hell it does not happen but we have just as good a chance of getting Obama right now as we ever have.
Signed the admittedly politically ignorant.
-Romney is a gigantic piece of crap.
1. The guy banned an entire class of weapons… And continues to say it was the right thing to do, while claiming to support the 2nd (which he has also said is 'outdated').
He will sign an AWB if put on his desk…. Just like he said Bush should have done.
Any politician that does not trust me with a firearm, I don't trust with my vote.
2. He was pro-choice before he was pro-life… A perfect example of him pandering to get elected, then changing position to try to win another election.
3. He CREATED the first US State sponsored HC program that included public mandates… Now because saying he is against it will help him try to get elected, he is against it? WTF?!?!? He has ZERO credibility on the subject. How can he bash a program that was designed off if his own program? He is claiming that both it and the 2nd issue should be States rights…. Ah no, the 2nd is in the Federal Constitution… I am not sure Romney has actually read much less understood the Bill of Rights.
In debates he is going to loose his ass when the HC system is mentioned. Obama will just mention that it is exactly like the one he signed.
4. Romney is loaded…. I don't hold that against him, but the occupy people sure as hell will. Bain Capital will haunt him. This is the ONE area I actually like Romney, he has a history of taking organizations going to crap and making them work… Still, it will be seen as a him being a bully and laying off people.
The only reasons Romney *might* get my vote is because it looks like the only judges to retire from the Supreme Court are the liberals and it would be good to get another Conservative on the bench… Of course Reagan nominated Kennedy and that did not exactly work out and I don't see Romney as one ounce conservative. He plays fast and loose with the Constitution.
The other reason is because he is not Obama.
But in many issues Romney's position has flipped so many times it is impossible to know where he stands and he has shown he is no against changing his position to get elected.
In other words… He is a gigantic piece of crap.
-All of this is why I say we don't have a replacement for Obama that everyone stands behind. We have four or five out there and there for we may be fucked.
-I'll admit…. I don't stand behind him. He is a fucktard. In many ways he is MORE liberal than Obama and the simple fact is that Romney has been WORSE for gun rights than Obama.
-He is not my pick. I haven't liked him since I first saw him in one of the debates. He is a shyster used car sales man at best. My point is simply that we don't have a single person that all agree on There for our votes will be split all over the board. Therefore we get the career campaigner again! We are basically fucked for another 4!
-Currently there is no other conservative running. So we will not be all over the place. The more likely scenario is a guy like me that will vote, but only for the House, Senate and local races and just skip voting for that jackass.
Obama may win because I can't support that jackass… But I will not be voting FOR that jackass and then have him screw me over.
-We are fucked because BOTH parties want more control and the populace as a whole is full of idiots that want a free handout.
Give a child the choice of a health meal with vegetables or ice cream and they will choose ice cream. Voters are exactly like this. The Wisconsin election many people see as a ray of hope…. But France had a moment of fiduciary responsibility and just recently said, "Thats TOO HARD…." and elected a fucking socialist.
As long as the people on handouts get to vote… They will vote for bigger handouts. The only good thing is that Dems have notoriously had higher voters on the rolls… But they don't bother to vote. Obama was an exception since the black turnout for 18- to 24-year-old voters was at 55 percent, an 8 percent increase from 2004 and Black voter's were up 4.9%. In 2004, the gap between white and black turnout rates was nearly seven percentage points. It was less than one percentage point four years later. And Black, Hispanic and Asian voters made up nearly a quarter of the electorate, setting a record.
So the problem is that many people showed up just to "Vote for the black guy". Yes, some people also showed up to "Vote against the black guy" but white voters actually DECREASED in 2008 by 1.1 percent.
Still, it does not really matter who is in office…. Each party just increases the strength and power of the Govt. The OWS people were pissed at the 1% of Americans that were millionaires… Yet they didn't seem upset that a full 50% of the congress and senate were millionaires.
-I don't like him either, but its official, he has the delagates, he will be the republician nominee.
If you have a job, the single most important issue for you should be the repeal of the hra, obama care, it sure is for me.
I'm going to vote romney for that reason, I learned my lesson in 91, 92, my vote for Perot was a vote for clinton. Abstaining is just as dumb.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this important presidential election coming up in 2012!

A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) is an insolvency procedure which allows a financially troubled company to reach a legally binding agreement with its creditors. In a CVA a company can pay part of their debts back or agree payment in full over a pre-agreed period of time.
A CVA can be proposed by the directors of the company, the administrators of the company, or the liquidator of the company.
When the CVA has been proposed, a nominee (insolvency practitioner) reports to court on whether a meeting of creditors and shareholders should be held to consider the proposal.
The meeting decides whether to approve the CVA. If 75% of the creditors (by debt balance) agree to the proposal, it is then legally binding on all creditors who had notice of the meeting and were entitled to vote.
If the meeting of creditors and shareholders approves a CVA, the nominee becomes the supervisor of the CVA.
Once the CVA has been carried out, the company's liability to its creditors is cleared. This allows the company to continue trading throughout the CVA and afterwards. Once the CVA has been completed any remaining debts will be legally written off and the company continues to trade as before.
CVAs can even be set up when a company is in liquidation or administration.
A CVA proposal is drafted by the directors with the assistance of our Insolvency Practitioners. The proposals are then sent out to all interested parties (court, creditors and shareholders) allowing 14 days notice of the creditors meeting for the CVA.
At the CVA creditors meeting 75% of the creditors (by debt balance) vote either in person or by proxy at the meeting must approve the CVA.
" I found McCambridge Duffy to deliver on what they said they would do and to do so quickly with a minimum of fuss. There were not endless phone calls and letters but they got the facts, assembled the proposal and put it in place very quickly.

This weekend, the (20) Ohio Roller Girls will skate in their final home bout this season as they welcome in Pittsburgh's (28) Steel City Roller Derby. A long-standing rivalry continues as these teams will meet for the fifth time, and the third time in the last year and a half. Ohio and Steel City first met back in 2007 when Ohio was victorious 134-131, but Steel City got their revenge two years later, 125-98. Then, a four year hiatus, mainly due to regional affiliation, kept these two teams apart. The battle was renewed last season as a scheduled home-and-home series saw these squads face each other in each of their home venues. In April 2013, Ohio hosted Steel City and got off to a quick 102-9 start. An amazing comeback by the Steel Hurtin in the second period cut the deficit to only 23 points, but Ohio held strong to secure a 246-162 victory. Then in August, Ohio traveled to Pittsburgh and won a nail-biter 184-179. Historically, Ohio and Steel City have always played each other well, and with an average margin of victory only being 39 points, this next matchup is bound to follow in its footsteps.
Steel City will come to Columbus with an impressive 6-3 record this season. Their three losses were all to higher ranked teams in Charm City (Baltimore), Tampa, and Philly. Steel City's victories came against Low Country (Charlestown, SC), Houston, Stockholm (Sweden), Toronto, Little Steel (Youngstown, OH), and Naptown (Indianapolis). The most impressive of these wins was their most recent against Naptown, a 190-89 drubbing in Pittsburgh. Earlier this season, Ohio travelled to Naptown where they fell short to Indianapolis 163-140. This eye-opener by the Steel Hurtin has made Ohio aware that Steel City appears to have improved their play as their season has progressed. As if they needed more motivation, Ohio will be Steel City's final bout before playoffs, and the Steel Hurtin will be firing on all cylinders as they proceed into the postseason.
Steel City features a trio of jammers in 'Snot Rocket Science, Leannibal Lecter, and Hurricane Heather. All three jammers are extremely fast, mobile, and able to avoid the big hit. Most importantly, however, is their ability to limit their penalties. Science, Lecter, and Heather aren't jammers that pick up penalties often while wearing the star on their helmets, which means Ohio's defense will have their work cut out for them. Trying to clear the way for the jammers are Steel City's pack players Ally McKill, sMEL U, Athena, Dakota Slamming, Redrum Blur, and The Kraken. The core of Steel City's defense has been around for years and operates as one smooth machine. With a defense very similar to Ohio's, expect very physical jams, with points being a premium.
Ohio is coming off a 306-83 victory over the Cincinnati Rollergirls two weeks ago that bumped their season record to 9-6. Also headed to the postseason following their bout with Steel City, Ohio is looking to enter the playoffs on a high note, and a victory over a powerful Steel City team would certainly point OHRG in the right direction. Jamming for Ohio will continue to be The Smacktivist, Kitty Liquorbottom, and Lora "Outa My" Wayman. The last couple of bouts have also seen an increase in playing time for TactiGal, who may also take a turn or two with the star on her helmet. Assisting the jammers will be Amy Spears, Jesse "Ava Tarr" Fox, Burnadeath, Ena Flash, and Sarah Bruce, who will be returning to action following a two-bout leave of absence.
As previously mentioned, both Ohio and Steel City will be appearing in the postseason, with both earning a spot in the Division 1 Playoffs. In fact, due to the S-Curve ranking system set forth by the WFTDA, both Ohio and Steel City will be playing at the same playoff location, Evansville Indiana, during the weekend of September 19-21. The Ohio Roller Girls will be a #5 seed, and will be paired against the #4 Jacksonville Rollergirls. Steel City is a #7 seed and will play #10 Arizona in the opening round. Win, and Steel City will play later in the day against #2 Texas. The winner of the Ohio/Jacksonville bout will advance to square off against #1 London Rollergirls (UK). The top three finishers at the Evansville tournament will automatically secure a place at the 2014 WFTDA Championship tournament in Nashville. Last year, Ohio finished 2nd at their playoffs and advanced to Champs for the first time in league history. At Champs, Ohio defeated Rat City before eventually losing to four-time world champions Gotham.

To be very clear, I have no previous experience with marketing other than a couple of classes I took in college more years ago than anyone needs to know. However, I"m getting that experience now – slowly but surely. Some I've learned the right way and some not so much. Either way, I want to share some ideas that may or may not work for you, advice I've read or received, and maybe provide a launching pad that can be helpful to other writers.
Have your marketing plan in place before you debut your book. Great advice, right? I knew this and had what I would now refer to as a "partial" plan (mostly because I didn't do all I should have). I believe the 3 most important parts to your plan should be the following:
- Create a platform – this basically consists of a blog, twitter, facebook page, etc. Everyone will tell you to create an online presence to build up momentum for your book. Following advice, I did start a blog and facebook page 9 months in advance of publication. I'm glad I did but not for the reasons that I thought. Mostly I find the blog a great way to build friendships with other writers and LEARN. Without the knowledge I've gained from other writers, the process of publication would have been much harder. Did having an online presence create momentum? Only in small ways but more importantly, it did create a support system that is outside of sales and therefore, more sustainable. However, I will caution that creating a presence is not about constant self-promotion. Be considerate.
- Market Your Book Everyday – This is harder than it sounds unless you count every single tweet as a marketing tool. I think it's important not to beat yourself up if you don't do something every day. First of all, some things you do will have a multiple day effect (i.e. running blog ads) and others will probably only have a minimal day impact. Also, many writers run into difficulty with how much to spend on marketing. Book Launch? Blog Ads? Print Ads? If funding a marketing campaign is difficult, there are other things you can do (see below).
- Get Reviews – I have to admit I didn't send advance copies and have not yet sent my book to anyone for reviews. However, I am planning to and believe that this was a mistake on my part. Still, I have been fortunate to receive some reader reviews that have been posted to Amazon and a few other sites. Those reader reviews are important in attracting new readers but a review from a credible source (Kirkus, another author, etc.) may be even better. In the next few weeks, I plan to reach out for reviews and will be sure to do some advance work for my second novel.
Most of this is the standard advice we all know about. There is even more to learn from authors' forums, tweets, and blogs. More specific ideas include the following:
- Post chapters of your book on sites such as Wattpad or Authors Den. Readers who like what they've read will go your Amazon page. Although I haven't done this yet, I have read that some authors find this more beneficial than running ads (and it costs you nothing).
- Find blogads that let you target readers of your genre. There are many, many blogs and sites devoted to books and a range of prices. Some are less expensive (based mostly on number of views) but those that are expensive may cost more than you will make in sales. This method of marketing depends on your goals.
- Guest Post or set up a blog tour if possible. One guest post can lead to another and sometimes to a feature in a printed publication. Think about where you guest though. If you write romance, it makes no sense for you to post on a site that is devoted to nonfiction or one that promotes horror. Target your audience so you can use your time more efficiently.
- Host a giveaway. Goodreads allows you to schedule one prior to the release or up to six months after your release date. While it may not translate into substantial sales, you may get reviews from those who have won your book. There are also many book blogs that will host a giveaway for you. Of course, the costs will fall on you but they are usually minimal if you limit the number of books you include in your giveaway.
- Start local. I have many friends in book clubs around the state. Last year, 6 book clubs chose my book as their "read of the month" and I had the honor and pleasure of being their guest. Who wouldn't love answering questions about their book? I am already scheduling more for 2013. I will not pretend these are big numbers but may create some word of mouth and get you some new readers.
- Create a Press Release for your book and send to anyone you can think of. This can result in free publicity. The local paper may not review your book, but they may list it on a "new releases" page. Other sources that have worked are alumni publications and community membership groups. Many have monthly magazines or newsletters. Finally, if you are a freelance writer as I am and have a relationship with a magazine or two, they may be willing to feature your book.
- Check into Google Ads. I was given this advice by someone who is part of a successful advertising firm and I think this could work for the right book. Although I played around with it briefly, I found the cost not to be worth it for my book. Depending on your keywords, the price can be prohibitive, depending on your royalty agreement.
- Schedule a book launch. If your book is in e-book form only, then try to build up a launch through your platform. If your book is also in hardback or paperback, it can be very rewarding to meet readers and sign books. If you're self-published and your local bookstores are not an option, you can still host a book launch or signing party at another venue. You can still invite your local press, friends, family, and anyone else who might be interested. Be sure to have books to sell and sign. Another great idea is to partner with another writer and hold a simultaneous launch, thereby doubling your guests and splitting the costs.
- Join groups but…I must caution you not to overextend yourself. Don't be a member in more groups than you can keep up with. This only takes time away from your writing.
Are there more ideas I haven't yet discovered or tried? Oh, yes! (Feel free to share if you'd like). The most important thing about book marketing is to learn what works for you (without taking too much time away from actual writing) and your book. Marketing, like publishing, is a learning process. Read, experiment, and LEARN. Here we go!

"Barnim bees" attract numerous Eberswalde citizens to the HNEE
The second evening event took place on November 28th as part of a cooperation between Kreisvolkshochschule (VHS) Barnim and the Research Center [NTT]. Under the heading "Barnimer Bienen: Wir dienen ihnen und sie uns - nachhaltig", Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schulz and Annalena Schreib from the HNEE as well as HNEE alumnus Frederik Rothe provide exciting insights into the ecology of the numerous species that are subsumed under the umbrella term "bees". After the lectures on honey and wild bees, citizens and university members were able to look at display cases and specimens and exchange ideas with the speakers. It was warming to hear interesting facts about bees on this cold winter evening. The Research Center and the VHS Barnim are already planning further events for the coming year, because the good response has shown that this format should definitely be further developed.
Joint event series of VHS Barnim and HNEE successfully started
Research center introduces itself to delegation from the Western Balkan, October 10, 2023
HNEE is part of the 1FUTURE (Erasmus+) project, which is carried out in cooperation with several EU and Western Balkan universities. On October 10th and 11th, 2023, a study visit by around 25 professors from universities in the participating Western Balkan countries took place in Eberswalde. In this context, Dr. Thomas Göttert presented important activities of the research center during a talk on October 10th, which met with interest from the delegation from the Western Balkans.

Research center participates in reverberation with Prof. Dr. Flurina Schneider, October 10, 2023
As part of the third reverberation, Prof. Dr. Flurina Schneider, scientific director of the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE), gave a highly acclaimed lecture on strategies for dealing with multiple understandings of sustainability at the HNEE on October 10, 2023. Prof. Dr. Benjamin Nölting from the Research Center moderated a subsequent open discussion, which, among other things, addressed questions about dealing with different sustainability models in the course of scientific work. This was followed by an exclusive round of discussions with researchers and university lecturers led by Prof. Nölting. This final session was moderated by Kerstin Lehmann from InnoSupport and, in addition to Prof. Schneider and professors from the HNEE, several people associated with the research center also took part.
Trying to visualize sustainability transfer– presentation of "Mapping 2.0", September 19, 2023
As part of the annual closed meeting of the Department of Landscape Use and Nature Conservation at Döllnsee, Benjamin Kashlan and Thomas Göttert from the Research Center presented various activities to (better) visualize sustainability transfer. In the first part of the talk that took place on September 19, key results from a "mapping workshop" that was carried out last year as part of the departmental retreat were presented. A discussion paper on this was recently published. In the second part of the presentation, preliminary results from a project that aims to further "map" sustainability transfer activities were presented - mind maps and geographical maps that are currently being developed were shown. It was discussed, in how far such tools make sense for the department and the HNEE in order to communicate the numerous sustainability transfer activities even better externally and internally.
Keynote at the Baltic Sea States Subregional Co-operation Conference
On 13.9.2023, Prof. Dr. Benjamin Nölting was invited by the Baltic Sea States Subregional Co-operation (BSSSC) to give the keynote speech "The role of the Regions in the time of crises - challenges and opportunities in the green transformation" at the 31st BSSSC Annual Conference 2023 "Building a resilient Baltic Sea Region - 30 years of BSSSC as a driver for strong regional involvement" in Szczecin, PL. The BSSSC is an established Baltic Sea Region network of various political representatives - some of them high-ranking - from the regional state level of the littoral states.
In his presentation, Benjamin Nölting developed perspectives for the regions of the Baltic Sea states for a sustainability transformation. At the same time, he pointed out the challenges and difficulties associated with this demanding task. This was illustrated by transfer projects such as InNoWest as an example of sustainability transfer between universities and regional stakeholders. As a participant in the subsequent panel, he took part in the lively debate with representatives from Poland, Sweden and Latvia on the benefits, potentials and possible limits of international cooperation in the Baltic Sea region.
Radio interview on "Sustainability Transformation" with Benjamin Nölting on 8.9.23
Liza Sander from the independent radio project Radio Industry talked to Benjamin Nölting about a sustainability transformation in the series "Future Sounds". The one-hour live programme was broadcast on Fri. 8.9. 16.00-17.00 h on FM 103.9 MHZ and on digital radio. In the conversation with host Liza Sander, future strategist and expert for socio-ecological design processes, one of the topics was experiences with change processes in sustainable development. How can people be motivated to do this and how can they empower themselves to help shape a future that is suitable for grandchildren and at the same time strengthens justice among generations living today? How can we prevent citizens from feeling overwhelmed and threatened by constant change, from perceiving themselves as "left behind"? A lengthy discussion unfolded around the citizen science project "Logbook of Changes" and how people have dealt with the forced changes due to the Corona pandemic. According to Benjamin Nölting, it is remarkable with what imagination and adaptability the logbook writers succeeded in coping with and shaping their everyday life and routines under completely changed circumstances. They report in a very differentiated way about the advantages and disadvantages of new routines and the abandonment of old practices. Through these experiences, he suspects, they might have gained a kind of change competence.
In conclusion, Benjamin Nölting pleaded for much more attention to be paid to and development of the topic of frugality - sufficiency in the technical language - as a core element of a sustainability transformation. To this end, there is a lack of research and research funds, but also of good concepts and strategies on how to develop "less" and "leave out" as a gain for the quality of life in completely hectic, stressful times. "We need more time to be able to be more inefficient," he reasoned.

The Logbook team visits Utrecht, Netherlands
From August 30th to September 1st, 2023, the Logbook team visited the International Sustainability Transitions Conference in Utrecht together with other colleagues from the research center. Many of the 500 participating scientists from all over the world presented their work and results on sustainability transformations. In one of these contributions Bettina König, Benjamin Nölting and Hannah Wiemers presented the latest research results from the Logbook project.
The event is organized on the initiative of the STRN network and takes place annually. This year, for the first time since the pandemic, the scientists met again in a central location. The logbook team would like to thank the organizers for this exciting event!
Project start "Future Forum Climate-friendly University" (ZKH) on 1 August 2023
Under the umbrella of the Research Centre [NTT], the joint project ZKH will start in August, in which the HNEE, together with the netzwerk n and the University of Vechta, will accompany 15 universities throughout Germany on their way to more climate protection. In the short term, the universities are to reduce their GHG emissions by at least 10% and in the long term implement climate protection concepts in the sense of a whole-institution approach. The project shows how higher education institutions can align their structures to climate protection by involving all status groups, as well as through transfer and networking at regional level. Central to the project is the empowerment of students for a student-driven sustainability transformation.
Second meeting to further develop the research center as an umbrella organization for transformation projects
The second meeting to further develop the research center as an umbrella organization for transformation projects in the region took place on July 13. The aim of this event was to deepen the interdisciplinary professional exchange between representatives of the research center, the university library and various research projects on regional transformation, including: InNoWest, Kultur der Nachhaltigkeit, WIR 4.0. and the StartUpLabor Schwedt. While the first meeting in March of this year was still about (cautiously) getting to know each other, very concrete experiences were now exchanged, commonalities and differences were identified and goals for upcoming tasks were announced. It became apparent that the research centre can play an important role in the overarching reflection and thus unfold a potential to effectively support the associated projects and jointly further develop the regional transformation.

6th BMBF Symposium on Sustainability in Science on 6/7 June 2023
Under the title "Towards a sustainable higher education and science system", more than 250 participants met at the Umweltforum in Berlin, among whom HNEE was well represented. In the new BMBF funding line "Transformation Paths for Sustainable Universities", two networks are being funded with the participation of HNEE:
- The project "Culture of Sustainability at Universities" (KuNaH) aims to find out what constitutes a culture of sustainability at universities and how it can be empirically investigated.
- In the project "WaNdel!4", four differently structured German universities are dedicated to the transformation towards increased sustainability at universities.
In the panel discussion "How to know? On the way to a sustainable higher education and science system - opportunities and hurdles", Prof. Dr. Benjamin Nölting from the Research Centre [NTT] discussed with representatives of universities, students, DG HochN and research institutions. The core messages were that sustainability is not an additional topic for universities, but a new perspective on what universities (should) do and thus offers a meaningful orientation for teaching, research and transfer. Conversely, society demands research and teaching for sustainable development because they have an important function and contribute to the common good. Universities can therefore not shirk this social responsibility.
Master's thesis by Britta Fiedler on practice-university cooperation in rural areas: Analysis of the sustainability transfer of the presence centres in Northwest Brandenburg
Brandenburg's universities have set up presence centres in rural areas in order to provide contact points and offers for practitioners, especially in areas far from universities. In her Master's thesis "Tasks and opportunities of Brandenburg's presence centres in sustainability transfer - recommendation for concepts, prerequisites and structures. An Empirical Analysis of Potential Using the Example of the Presence Centres of the Universities of the State of Brandenburg in North-West Brandenburg", Britta Fiedler examined the four presence centres in North-West Brandenburg. She empirically examined the question of which (sustainability) transfer concepts, measures and instruments the four presence offices implement in university-practice cooperation and how successful they are. The results clarify, among other things, the relevance of the local presence offices as binding, local contact persons, but also that interpersonal aspects such as trust, clear agreements and honest performance promises are perceived as important and beneficial. This master's thesis, which was supervised by the HNEE and the THB, offers numerous tips and starting points for the InNoWest project and is publicly available in the HNEE library.
Key points paper on transdisciplinary science
The "Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research" celebrated its foundation with more than 200 guests on May 10, 2023 at the Technische Universität Berlin. The society sees itself as a contact point and independent representation of interests of transdisciplinary and participatory research - also towards politics and funding institutions. The central goal, however, is the further development of transdisciplinary sustainability research. Thus, the society is a relevant network for the work of the research center [NTT] and the HNEE as a whole with its application-oriented, transformative research. Accordingly, the university, represented by its president Prof. Dr. Matthias Barth, and the research center have been committed to the founding of the society. It is hoped that this exchange between the university and the society will lead to further cooperation and impulses.
The founding of the "Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research" emerged from the tdAcademy, a joint project that has set itself the goal of building a network for transdisciplinary sustainability research. Benjamin Nölting from the Research Center [NTT] has accompanied the work of the tdAcademy for years as a member of the partner circle. In this role, he has contributed to the formulation of a key issues paper of the Partner*innenkreis, entitled "Strengthening transdisciplinary and participatory science and shaping a sustainable future", which advocates the promotion of transdisciplinarity as well as participatory and transformative approaches in science, business, civil society and politics. The key issues paper can be read in full text at GAIA.
Transfer to the HNEE - Representatives of the Eberswalde Zoo answer questions from "Lanus", May 10, 2023
In the summer semester, students of the B.Sc. program "Landscape Use and Conservation" prepare papers and talks on selected animal species as part of a seminar. Against this background, Thomas Göttert used the cooperation between Eberswalde Zoo and the Research Center [NTT] to give interested students the opportunity for the first time to also give presentations on specific animal species that are cared for and shown at Eberswalde Zoo. On May 10, the interested students and T. Göttert arranged to meet with representatives of the zoo. Paulina Ostrowska (zoo leader), Sonja Langkau (zoo school representative), Nicole Wulf (keeper of yellow-cheeked crested gibbons) and Kerstin Windschügl (keeper of green-winged macaws) took their time to answer the students' questions. This shows the appreciation with which the zoo treats this cooperation. Among other things, the students learned about the affection and dedication with which the keepers care for the well-being of their charges and that the importance of zoos is not limited to the well-known aspects of research, conservation, education and recreation, but goes far beyond that.
"Logbook of Changes" hosts workshop at Berlin's Humboldt Forum, May 5, 2023
On May 05, the results of the logbook project so far were presented to the public in a workshop at the Humboldt Forum in Berlin. It was a final workshop of a funding period by the Hans Sauer Foundation. The event was led and moderated by Benjamin Nölting and Hannah Wiemers from the Research Center and Bettina König (formerly of the Research Center, since April of this year professor at the University of Kassel). About 15 participants, among them logbook writers, researchers and citizens interested in the project, learned about the current state of research and subsequently exchanged experiences and discussed aspects of crisis-led transformation processes.
Hub with DG HochN on the topic of sustainability transfer, April 20, 2023
On April 20, 2023, the Research Center hosted an online workshop on "Transfer for Sustainable Development at Universities" as part of the DG HochN. The topic was how transfer from universities can contribute to sustainable development. The online event was moderated and led by Benjamin Nölting, Christine Hobelsberger and Thomas Göttert. About 35 participants, representing almost as many universities, intensively exchanged interests, experiences and challenges. The participants identified topics that are important for their work and that should be worked on and deepened in follow-up events. In this context, projects and alliances from the federal-state initiative "Innovative Hochschule", which all work on the topic of transfer, should also be addressed.
Contribution to the second annual meeting of the AGRI-FOOD GEOGRAPHIES working group on 23.-25. March 2023 at the University of Hohenheim (hybrid)
On 23-25 March 2023 the second annual conference of the working group Agri-Food Geographies took place in cooperation with the chair for "Societal Transition & Agriculture" at the University of Hohenheim. The theme of the conference was: "Who MAKES our food? Power and powerlessness of actors in the agricultural and food system". On Saturday (03/25/2023), the international guest Dr. Alexander Panez (Universidad de Bío-Bío, Chile) and Dr. Ilka Roose (HNE Eberswalde) discussed the processes for shaping agricultural policy in past and current debates in constitutional reform under the title: "Food systems and constitutional changes in Latin America: The agarian disputes within the constitutional convention in Chile."
Further development of the Research Centre [NTT] as an umbrella organisation for research projects on regional transformation
A meeting was held on March 13 with representatives of projects based at, associated with, or envisaged to cooperate with the Research Center [Sustainability Transformation Transfer]. In addition to getting to know each other, the aim was to explore the extent to which the research center could be further developed into a supportive framework for all associated projects. We see the research center as an umbrella that supports and promotes an interdisciplinary, professional exchange between different projects. Collectively, we`ve discusses how such support structures could be achieved. We acknowledge the lively participation and fruitful discussions.
Contribution to the 16th Scientific Conference on Organic Farming in Frick/Switzerland, 8.-10. March 2023
Together with Thorsten Michaelis from the University of Kassel, Bettina König and Thomas Göttert from the Research Center chaired a well-attended workshop on the topic "Transformation obstacles for more sustainable food systems - new or old acquaintances of organic farming?" as part of the 16th Scientific Conference on Organic Farming in Frick (Switzerland). Christine Hobelsberger from the research center supported the event online. The hybrid working team of the research center supported the debate about obstacles and (innovative) solutions for a transformation towards more sustainable agriculture.
GAIA contribution to the "KuNaH" project launch: Transformative research on the culture of sustainability at universities
To kick off the project, we are pleased to announce the publication of our contribution to the collaborative project Universities in Society - Real Experiments in Transformative Learning and Research Processes for a Culture of Sustainability at Universities (KuNaH) in GAIA. You can find the link to the article here.
The kick-off meeting in December 22 laid the foundation for the three-year collaborative project. In close cooperation with the five universities involved (Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Freie Universität Berlin, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Leuphana University of Lüneburg and Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences for Sustainable Development), the project investigates what constitutes a culture of sustainability at universities and uses a variety of real-life experiments to test how it can be promoted.

Presentation at the workshop "Transformations towards sustainability at the regional level" at the IASS Potsdam, 25 November 2022
At the workshop "Transformations towards sustainability at the regional level" at the IASS Potsdamm, participants discussed the topic of regional sustainability transformation from interdisciplinary perspectives. The focus was particularly on regions that are or were dependent on energy-intensive industries or fossil fuels. Benjamin Nölting from the Research Centre FC [NTT] gave impulses on conceptual approaches and research questions through his presentation on "Governance for regional sustainability transformation - developing and embedding design perspectives spatially/regionally" using the example of the rural area of Brandenburg. More information on the workshop and the other speakers and discussion points can be found on the IASS blog here.
Cooperation between Research Centre and Eberswalde Zoo launched
As part of the teaching in the sub-module "Grundlagen der Ökologie" of the Bachelor's degree programme "Landschaftsnutzung und Naturschutz", Thomas Göttert is organising and hosting several student excursions to Eberswalde Zoo in the current winter semester. In addition to deepening teaching content for a better understanding of selected faunal elements within their biogeographical regions, T. Göttert aims at establishing a cooperation between the research centre and Eberswalde Zoo. The participating students reportedly enjoyed these activities; many of them took part in a voluntary leaf removal action in the zebra enclosure on 5 December (photo) - the zoo's reimbursement of the entrance fee was probably of secondary importance. Rather, the combination of knowledge transfer and active participation was decisive for the students.
Final report on the agricultural films project published
Using asparagus cultivation as a case study, the report describes the system of production, use and disposal of agricultural films. This visible sub-area is structured and placed in the broader context of the effects of the use of agricultural plastics and plastics from other application areas on the environment and society. On the basis of a literature review, a discourse analysis and expert interviews and workshops, a description of the situation is provided that takes an integrative look at the production, use and disposal of agricultural films used on the ground in order to identify approaches for improving the situation. On the basis of this multi-perspective and conflict-sensitive understanding, further questions in practice, research and development as well as in cross-sectoral solution-oriented cooperation can be discussed and dealt with in a more targeted manner and the framework conditions for the development of alternatives and the ending of undesirable effects can be designed through incentives.

The Research Centre [NTT] participated in the conference with three virtual contributions. Dr. Christine Hobelsberger presented the mapping method developed by the Research Centre [NTT]: "Making the invisible visible. A novel method for mapping Sustainability Transfer at universities as a contribution to sustainability transition". Dr Bettina König gave impulses from the logbook project on changed everyday practices due to the Corona pandemic: "Changing daily habits during crisis - What do empirical insights deliver for understanding changeability of daily life practices in sustainability transitions" and presented results from the agricultural film project "Plasticulture conflicts or circularity transitions? Situation analysis of the German asparagus sub-system."
HOCH-N Discussion Paper No. 02 published: "Sustainability Transfer in Practice - Examples from Teaching and Research at the Eberswalde University of Applied Sciences", 08 November 2022
As part of the project "Sustainability at Universities (HOCH-N)", the concept of sustainability transfer was developed at the HNEE. The discussion paper that has now been published describes four concrete case studies of sustainability transfer at the university, two each from teaching and research. The examples show the diverse possibilities of practical implementation of sustainability transfer and can provide inspiration and ideas for the implementation and further development of sustainability transfer in other contexts. More information on the project is available here.

Discussion with citizens about results from the project "Logbook of Change", 18 October 2022
How did everyday routines change during the Corona pandemic? Which changes were only temporary? Which changes are permanent even without Corona measures? And what can we learn from this for the individual and societal handling of crises and for sustainable development? On 18 October 2022, the Barnim Adult Education Centre (VHS Barnim) and the Research Centre invited citizens to the University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde to discuss these and other questions based on the results of the "Logbook of Changes" project. The joint look at everyday routines allowed the participants to engage in an insightful and mutually enriching exchange about the different experiences of the pandemic period and to discuss together whether the emerging permanent changes in everyday routines are individually and socially desirable. The team of the Research Centre is looking forward to continuing the cooperation with the Barnim Adult Education Centre.
Keynote at 4th Network Meeting of Health Promoting Universities Austria, 19-20 September 2022
The network meeting at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna focused on the interfaces between health promotion and sustainability. In the context of her keynote speech "Just do it?! Selected perspectives and examples from transformation research on synergy potentials between health and sustainability management at universities", Dr Bettina König from the Research Centre [NTT] gave impulses on connections between changed everyday practices due to the Corona pandemic and fields of action of health and sustainability management at universities. In an exciting round, it was discussed how potentials for sustainable development can be identified and developed cooperatively, also together with teaching and research at the respective university.
Lecture at symposium of the Centre for Business Management in Horticulture e. V., 13 September 2022
The 60th symposium of the Centre for Business Management in Horticulture (ZBG) in Hannover dealt with questions of organic vegetable production from current market developments to conversion planning. In the context of her lecture "Simply convert and leave out!? An outside-inside perspective from the perspective of transformation research", Dr Bettina König from the Research Centre [NTT] described the interplay between individual farm considerations and the conditions of value chains, innovation systems and societal demands, which raise a multitude of sustainability questions beyond "either-or" or "all or nothing".
Master's theses on the "Logbook of Change" published, September 2022
What impact does the Corona pandemic have on interpersonal solidarity? How are individual consumption, mobility and information and communication practices changing? What are the potentials and limits of changed labour practices and working conditions? And what implications does the pandemic have for the relationship between humans and nature? HNEE students got to the bottom of these questions as part of their Master's theses based on the logbook entries from the citizen science study "Logbook of Changes" by the Research Centre [Sustainability - Transformation - Transfer]. The results of these master's theses by Andrea Gutsohn, Madeleine Hahnle, Tabea Selleneit, Jana Katharina Stahl, Rebecca Weinberger and Hannah Wiemers have now been published.
Mapping of sustainability transfer at HNEE started, September 2022
Exchange and cooperation with actors from practice against the background of sustainable development are a profile-forming element of the HNEE. Universities are also increasingly expected by society to participate in the processing of practical problems from society. Under the motto "Making the invisible visible", the Research Centre [NTT] has developed a method to make sustainability transfer at the HNEE visible (more), and thus even more tangible, describable and communicable inside and outside the university. A first run of the mapping took place during the annual retreat of the Faculty of Landscape Management and Nature Conservation at Lake Dölln. More than 30 members of the department located their sustainability transfer activities on various maps and discussed the results together. In this way, a better awareness of sustainability transfer could be created, the different formats of which are often not even seen and recognised. Results and experiences from the mapping will now be evaluated promptly at the research centre and fed back to the department. The staff of the research centre are looking forward to carrying out the mapping in other departments of the HNEE.
As part of the 5th annual conference of the Working Group on Sustainability at Brandenburg Universities, Prof. Dr. Benjamin Nölting, Dr. Christine Hobelsberger and Dr. Thomas Göttert from the Research Centre [NTT] organised a keynote lecture, workshops and plenary discussions with the aim of reflecting together with the participants on measures to better design and anchor sustainability transfer at universities. In addition to questions about the typical characteristics of sustainability transfer, the participants discussed which incentive systems and support mechanisms should be established at universities in order to structurally strengthen sustainability transfer. The Research Centre would like to thank the working group for the opportunity to participate in this exciting event.
Participation of the research centre in international summer school, 22 August - 2 September 2022
Between 22 August and 2 September 2022, a summer school took place in Lenzen, Elbe, organised by the Biosphere Reserves Institute (BRI) of the HNEE. A total of 21 students from Canada, South Africa and Germany developed recommendations for the further development of the Elbe-Brandenburg River Landscape Biosphere Reserve as part of this genuinely transdisciplinary event characterised by field work. The students were supported by five so-called mentors from the above-mentioned countries, among them Dr Thomas Göttert from the Research Centre. The main topics were, among others: Sense of place, local memory culture, nature-based recreation, power dynamics, collective visions, co-construction instead of consultation, reconciliation of generations, transparent communication, interpretive sovereignty over development measures and development opportunities in remote regions. The enormous importance of adequately involving local population groups in nature conservation and development policy decision-making processes became apparent. The intensive and instructive event will certainly be remembered by all those actively involved.
Publication of a technical paper on the calling behaviour of bats, July 2022
Together with Dr Nicole Starik from Berlin's Humboldt-Universitität, Dr Thomas Göttert from the Research Centre has published a paper on the calling behaviour of bats. The bioacoustic comparison of urban and rural bat calls revealed that certain species in the city centre of Berlin emit higher-frequency and more complex social calls than their conspecifics in the Brandenburg hinterland. This is obviously related to the adaptability of certain bat species to urban habitats. The paper was published in July in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
Exchange with visiting scholars from Latin America, 25 May 2022
Jaime Emilio Marti Herrero, Ph.D. (Universidad Regional Amazónica Ikiam, Ecuador), Prof. Nosley Pérez Castellano (Universidad Central 'Marta Abreu' de Las Villas, Cuba) and Prof. Yudelkys Ponce Valdés (Universidad de Sancti Spíritus "José Martí Pérez", Cuba) are currently spending time at the HNEE as part of the DAAD-funded project "Deepening the Engagement with the SDGs through the Development and Implementation of innovative Learning Spaces". Dr. Christine Hobelsberger and Dr. Thomas Göttert from the Research Centre [NTT] introduced the concept of sustainability transfer to the guest researchers and explained the importance of sustainability transfer as a profile-forming element of HNEE. This was followed by an insightful exchange on experiences with sustainability transfer at the HNEE and the partner universities.
International Workshop on Social Challenges in the Context of Sustainable Development, 6 April 2022
What is the context of sustainable development, and what role do universities and sustainability transfer play in this? Dr. Christine Hobelsberger and around 200 participants from science and practice addressed these questions in an international and interdisciplinary online workshop. The event took place as part of the workshop series "Taller Internacional de Innovación y Emprendimiento" at the Universidad de Colima, Mexico.

Andray Blatche told Stefan Bondy Friday that the Nets showed him "loyalty" in believing that he had nothing to do with allegations of sexual assault before a game in Philadelphia earlier this month.
Blatche has on several occasions contrasted the Nets style with that of his former team, the Wizards and seemed to be doing it again in comments to Bondy.
"My thing is if you going to preach about being a family, then be a family," Blatche said before Friday's game against the Hawks. "And so far, this organization has been like a family. They had my back and everything when my whole situation happened. They had my back. They supported me. And that means a lot."
The Nets declined to comment other than in a statement by Billy King following press reports of the assault. In the statement, King said, "We are aware of an ongoing police investigation regarding a member of the Brooklyn Nets" and that all members of the team were available for action.
Blatche has steadfastly denied he was involved and was quickly released following questioning. Two other men in his hotel suite that night were held overnight but no one has been charged and the alleged victim told a local TV station that Blatche did not have sex with her. Blatche will be an unrestricted free agent in July.
