Berlin Senate Department of Economics
Berlin Senate Department of Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises
Modern Berlin has become a global centre of innovation. It is Europe's startup capital, having topped London in 2015 for the second time. A total of 2,1 billion Euro were invested in local startups. Every 20 hours a new digital company is founded in Berlin. In total, 40,000 new businesses every year. Services and technology have become the driving factors of modern Berlin that was once a world-famous industrial city.
Abundance of ideas and excellence in research draws many entrepreneurs and businesspeople to Berlin. In numbers, there are four public universities, seven schools of applied sciences and 30 private schools with 171,000 students combined. Numerous centres of Germany's longstanding research institutions are located in the city: twelve Leibniz institutes, Max Planck (6), Fraunhofer (4), Helmholtz (3).
Nobody would have assumed this kind of success given that Berlin, for many years, was among the poorest states of Germany. Today, it has one of the fastest growing economies, with a consecutive GDP growth of 2,2 percent in 2015, far beyond the average growth rate of Germany at 1,7. Every 12 minutes, a new job is created, almost 140,000 jobs over the past four years. Every year, 40,000 people move to Berlin.
The goal of the Senate Department for Economics, Technology and Research is to secure Berlin's recent leading position and make it a global hub. Ten so called centres of future, local innovation parks for smart industries, are currently being developed. Creating a network for electric vehicles, launching 5G sites for commercial enterprises and expanding 200 Mbit-internet over the entire city are other focal areas to make Berlin a global pacemaker for innovation in the digital age.

OASC
OASC (Open & Agile Smart Cities Initiative)
The Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative (OASC) is a city-driven, non-profit organisation. The overall objective is to create a Smart City market. OASC was founded in January 2015 and came to life with the first wave of cities joining in March 2015. OASC continues to grow.
OASC kickstarts the use of a shared set of methods to develop systems and make them interoperable across a single city as well as between multiple cities. Today's smart cities are pioneering solutions that improve local practices while promoting sustainable job creation. OASC provides the network for cities all over the world to share best practices, compare results, and avoid vendor (and city) lock-in while advocating for de facto standards.
Smart City market through four de facto standards
Global de facto standards for portability and interoperability provide a clear path to creating a true global market for smart city services. OASC advocates cities to adopt four simple mechanisms as de facto standards. The first mechanism is a driven-by-implementation approach: This implies, among other things, that communities and developers can co-create their services.
The other three mechanisms are technical: an API, a set of data models, and an open data platform, which are described more precisely in the Open and Agile Smart Cities Background Document.
Companies benefit from the OASC initiative as they can now offer services that comply with these mechanisms to help cities with implementation. Interested companies can be listed on the initiative website and can join us at events.
The initiative is governed by the OASC Task Force and overseen by the Connected Smart Cities Network Board. However, cities remain in charge and each country is represented on the Task Force with one Task Force member.

Sobeknakht va ser una princesa egípcia de finals de la dinastia XII o principis de la XIII. Era filla d'un rei desconegut i se la coneix gràcies a una estatueta de coure que la representa amamantant un nen que és un príncep.

Biografia
La Filla de Rei Sobeknakht no se la coneix per cap altra font que no sigui l'estatueta feta de coure arsenical que la representa. Les estàtues i estatuetes de coure eren habituals durant el regnat d'Amenemhet III, a principis de la dinastia XIII, abans que les turbulències polítiques fessin que aquestes obres d'art fosin menys habituals. Pel que sembla, Sobeknakht va ser filla d'un rei d'aquest període i mare d'un príncep també desconegut per l'egiptologia. Per tant, el seu marit també podria haver estat rei.

Tanmateix, l'estatueta pot estar oberta a d'altres interpretacions.

Estatueta de coure de Sobeknakht
L'estatueta de coure de Sobeknakht va ser elaborada entre els anys 1700 i 1630 aC i mostra grans habilitats en el seu disseny i fabricació. Representa una dona lactant un nen masculí. Aquest tipus d'escena pot reflectir Isis-Horus i més tard Maria-Jesús, mostrant així arrels d'aquesta iconografia al Regne Mitjà de l'antic Egipte. La inscripció fa referència a la "noble hereditària" Sobeknakht. Porta la ureu que indica que és una princesa. Al nen també se'l mostra com un príncep. L'estatueta es pot interpretar com la celebració d'un naixement, el senyal de la devoció d'un rei regnant vers la seva mare o el desig d'ajuda divina per concebre un nen que esdevindria el rei d'Egipte. Forma part de la col·lecció del Museu de Brooklyn.

Are you annoyed by constant night sweating? Do you wake up in the middle of the night drenched all over your body?
Apparently, you are not the only one experiencing this problem. Medically known as sleep hyperhidrosis, night sweating is already a common nuisance experienced by many people.
There are multiple causes of this. One could be the natural metabolic process of your body. In some cases, it could be a symptom of underlying conditions such as infections.
Lucky for you, there are multiple home remedies for night sweats that you can try. If you want to sleep dry and wake up still dry, then you should try these following methods.
There are various essential oils out there that can help you stop night sweating. One good example of this is lavender oil.
You see, lavender oil is not only a natural stress reliever. It also helps you sleep better by calming your mind and senses. Furthermore, the oil can regulate your hormones, which in turn, can reduce your episodes of night sweats and hot flashes.
You can use the lavender oil by adding a few drops to your diffuser. In this way, the sweet scent of lavender will be scattered in your entire bedroom.
Another essential oil that you can try is clary sage oil. It can help you relax your body and muscles. When your body is still, it will not sweat too much. Use the clary sage oil by applying it directly to your neck and feet.
One of the potential causes of night sweating is a humid environment. If your bedroom is not that appropriately ventilated, then there's a good chance that you will feel hot.
Moreover, you should not also ignore the sleeping amenities that you are using. Some mattresses and pillows don't have breathable construction. These things will get "hot" eventually since they are not letting air pass through.
If any of these predicaments are indeed the cause to your evening sweats, then it is time to let your bedroom breathe. Install an air conditioner with a thermostat so that you can adjust the temperature to the ideal level.
You should also try using summer blankets because they promote proper air circulation.
Always take note that a cool bedroom will never make you feel sweaty.
If the actual cause of your night sweating is imbalanced hormones, you should already drink pomegranate juice regularly. In general, this particular fruit contains a variety of antioxidants–such as ellagitannins and phytoestrogens–that regulates the hormones in the body.
Of course, you should make sure that your pomegranate juice is all-natural. You don't want to drink something that has been commercially processed. There's a good chance that some of the essential nutrients of these juices have been lost already.
You can drink the juice two times a day to fully relish its effects.
Hormonal imbalance is pretty standard, especially to women. They are the ones that experience this condition, especially during their menopausal period. Night sweats are among the common symptoms of these imbalances.
There are natural remedies that can help people who are stuck in this predicament. One good natural solution that I know is black cohosh. In the medical world, this is used as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy.
It is noted that black cohosh is rich in phytochemicals that have estrogenic effects. In short, it can become an effective remedy against hot flashes and night sweats.
Since it is a herb, black cohosh is best taken in the form of supplements. The latter is very concentrated; hence, more potent.
Ginger has tons of health benefits. It is used in treating nausea, morning sickness, and muscle pain. It also has anti-inflammatory effects that can work against osteoarthritis.
However, it is quite surprising that only a few people know the favorable effects of ginger in minimizing night sweats. This particular kitchen ingredient is rich in phytoestrogens that ensure the balance of your hormones in your body. In turn, this mitigates night sweating.
Consider this recipe for a hot ginger drink.
In the cup of water, put one two grated gingers.
Next, let the ginger stay there for approximately ten minutes before you drink it.
Alternatively, you can add a teaspoon of honey to counter the strong taste of ginger.
There are a lot of exciting things that you must know about gingers. An e-book entitled the "Ginger: Antioxidant Properties, Functions and Medicinal Benefits" written by Janine L. Perry of Nova Science Publishers has a full explanation to the miraculous effect of ginger.
If I were, I would check this book out!
Aloe Vera is another helpful herb. Not only it can only make you feel relaxed, but it can also aid you to sleep better.
There are also phytoestrogens and phytonutrients that are present in aloe vera. These are the ones that ease your hormone so that you don't sweat too much, especially during the night.
Inflammation and infection can also cause night sweats. Fortunately, aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can combat these things.
A cup of aloe vera juice before bedtime can help a person help better.
These are the heaven-sent methods that have positive effects in curbing down night sweats. If you are plagued by excessive sweating while you are sleeping, you should try these natural remedies that I have listed here.
But of course, it is always a sound idea if you identify first the cause of your night sweating. Just like what I have mentioned before, night sweating can only be a symptom of underlying conditions. For instance, sweating in the night can be a sign of tuberculosis.
If that's the case, you should seek immediate treatment. You have to treat the condition for the symptoms to be eradicated successfully.

Luellen Lake located in Banff National Park along the Johnson Creek Trail. A backcountry campground is located on its shore for those wishing to stay. The warmer waters in this lake are clear with a somewhat shallower shore.
Luellen Lake offers some fantastic fishing for cutthroat trout. These fish are aggressive and abundant. Most of the fish I caught were in the 14 to17" range. I also found the fish here so have some of the nicest coloring I have seen in cutthroat. I have visited twice and never been disappointed.

2017 Chardonnay Arthur Magnum
Distinct aromas of gooseberry and wildflowers welcome you to the glass. As the wine opens, notes of apricot, grapefruit, lemon zest and white peach emerge. On the palate, the essence has a candied quality, with a mix of fennel and almond and finishing with a touch of citrus and soft spices. The texture is beautifully rich, while still maintaining its fresh character. I find it delicious now, but wouldn't hesitate to hold in the Cellar from 2020 – 2024.
Vineyard Notes
A cool winter, followed by a cool and wet spring, slowed the arrival of bud break. Summer temperatures were largely warm, but moderate weather arrived by late August, allowing fruit maturation to slow. By the middle of September temperatures were perfect. Over the course of nearly three weeks, we were able to harvest parcels at optimal ripeness. In the end 2017 gave us beautifully balanced fruit with delightful flavors and lovely length.
Winemaker Notes
Our 2017 Chardonnay was hand-picked into small totes, and then whole-cluster pressed. It was partly fermented in French Oak barrels to reveal the complexity of the fruit through the slow breathing process that happens in wood. The rest was fermented and aged in stainless steel to keep the vibrancy and fruitiness. Véronique then blended these two portions to create a wine of a more delicate nature - Arthur. To Véronique, it as if one brought together elements of a pure Chablis and an elegant Meursault.
