The ADN CU1 digital discussion central unit allows management of up to 400 and powers up to 40 discussion units. A graphic LCD menu display offers quick and easy access to all key features – and in 13 languages. Alternatively the system can be managed using integ¬rated “Conference Manager” software. In this case the screen mouse and keyboard are hooked up directly to the CU1. Any AV media control system will allow you to reliably ope¬rate this intelligent system with ease. And the quiet fan means the system can be deployed directly in the conference room. For conference leaders: the digital discussion chairperson unit.
For conference participants: the digital discussion delegate unit. The ADN C1 chairperson unit and ADN D1 delegate unit offer clear sound and a timeless design. The Gooseneck microphone is fitted with a Sennheiser super-cardioid capsule that successfully suppresses unwanted background noise. The dual speaker system ensures that sound is distributed evenly and effectively across the entire conference room. The discus¬sion units are connected using CAT5 cables and hidden sockets and in permanent installa¬tions these cables can be secured in place.
Using the “priority” and “next” button the conference chair can control all speakers and hand the floor to the next participant in line.
The delegate unit also features the practical request function where the red light flashes to let the conference chair know the participant would like to speak.
The supporting power package expands your options: the ADN PS Power Supply.
It increases the failure-safety of the system by allowing redundant ring-cabling on its two double conference ports. Up to 40 units can be connected in two rings and up to 70 units in alternative branch cabling. Status LEDs at the front of the 19“ rack-mount unit indicate the type of cabling to easily monitor the system. If only communication was always so easy: the “Conference Manager” software.
After connecting the monitor keyboard and mouse the system can be controlled almost intuitively – whether you use an external PC or the central unit itself the conference manager software provides an extremely clear user interface that is very easy to use: producing a custom seating plan adding a picture of the conference room as a background adjusting the volume level setting the conference mode etc. – you can control everything simply and reliably.

Red marks » LED photomodulation
What is LED?
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are another form of light therapy that is a relatively recent development of the laser industry, LEDs are similar to lasers in as much as they have the same healing effects but direr in the way that the light energy is delivered. LED disperses over a greater surface area these results in a faster treatment time for agiven area than other light therapy.
LED only generates the low power level energy for photo-stimulation on afflicted cell tissue. No side effect and most safe LED becomes the most popular light therapy in the world, best for all kind of skin problem, pain relief, photo-rejuvenation, firming, whitening, and pigmentation.
• Stimulates collagen production
• Reduces hyperpigmentation and age spot
• Reduces pore size
• Reduces acne scars
• Improve minor stretch marks
• Increase skin elasticity and improve circulation
• Reduces the overall redness flushing and dilated capillaries of Rosacea and improves the recovery from these common chronic facial disorders.
LED light is a kind of natural therapy which is the most advanced technology for cell repair mechanisms. Light energy will be absorbed by underneath skin and stimulate cell activity and metabolism, relieve muscle tension and accelerate the recovery time then purge bodily toxins and mineral water out from the body and allow the rate of blood flow and bring more nutrients and vitamin to the whole body.
LED use the Monochromatic Single-Wavelength stimulate cell to undergo the process of Bio-Stimulation just same as the concept of plant photosynthesis (plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks). LED can help to increase the body cell growth rate for 5 times Experience shows that light can stimulate mitochondrial ATP directly, assign more energy produce from mitochondrial finally accelerate recovery mechanism and repair the tissue reduce the recovery time.
Stimulate the production of collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. Best for fine lines; reduce pore size, swollen after surgery.
Acne bacteria contains porphyrins the blue light is able to kill porphyrins due to the high affinity with this wavelength. The blue light furthermore has a calming action resulting effective on hypersensitivity.
Green symbolizes the harmonic cycles of nature and it is the main healing color it is used primarily for wrinkles and aged skin reduces fine lines, nourishes skin, promotes the healing process and smoothen scars.

The Vampire Diaries kicked off Season 5 with lots of blood, sex, and lies — and Bonnie happens to be caught in the biggest lie of them all. Bonnie has been using Jeremy to communicate with her besties Elena and Caroline, who are at Whitmore College. But with Elena and Caroline in desperate need of some supernatural assistance, how long can Bonnie keep her death a secret?
Candice Accola (Caroline) recently chatted with The Hollywood Reporter, and she revealed that “when Elena and Caroline learn what's happened to Bonnie, they will be quite heartbroken.”
Of course Elena and Caroline will be devastated by the news — and probably a little upset that she kept it from them for so long — but it sounds like Bonnie’s death will play into a bigger storyline this season.
“Eventually the characters are going to come into the light about what is really going on and the bigger picture, and it’s going to be really hard truth to face,” Candice recently dished to TVLine. “For the viewers, they’re going to be opened up into a whole different world and it’s going to be an opportunity for them to learn more about the mythology of Mystic Falls.”
The “mythology of Mystic Falls?” So, there’s even more to this supernatural town that we don’t know about? We’ve previously explored the origins of the vampires in Mystic Falls — we know the Original family lived in what is now called Mystic Falls — but does Silas have ties to the town as well? Seeing how Silas is over 2,000 years old, this flashback could be very interesting.
What do you think, TVD fans? Are you excited to explore Mystic Falls’ mythology? Do you want Bonnie to fess up already? Sound off in the comments!
Catch the next episode of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, October 10, 2013, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, followed by the series premiere of Reign.

The Romans called Kyustendil Pautalia, here in the second century they built Roman baths - special hydropathic establishments, as well as a large Asklepion - the temple of Asclepius, the god medicine. All this together constituted a single temple-medical complex, which occupied an area of about three and a half thousand square meters. Asklepion Pautalia is evidence that the Romans appreciated the local water. According to historians, only legionnaires who distinguished themselves in battle could heal wounds in the baths. Also, Emperor Trajan himself loved to take health baths here.
The complex of Roman baths is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It surrounds the monumental building of the old mosque Ahmed Bey, which now houses the city museum.

Honeymoon Heaven and Hell
If you think you might have unrealistic wedding day expectations, just wait until your honeymoon rolls around. Weddings are exhausting events both emotionally and physically. Yet somehow, only a few hours later, you're supposed to consummate your marriage and stay up all night packing in preparation for seven fun-filled days in Hawaii. Word to the wise: Not going to happen without a few glitches.
First things first, be realistic. Plan a honeymoon vacation in which you can play catch-up for the first day or so. Why? As mentioned before, the wedding is going to make you bone-tired. And flying on a crowded plane en route to that special honeymoon location is not going to be restful or relaxing. You've got to plan accordingly. Maybe allow for a relaxation day at some local hotel before you fly or sail out of town. More importantly, expect nothing from each other and just sit back and re-energize.
Once you get your honeymoon destination, take a chill pill and figure out the lay of the land for the first day. Jumping into scuba diving or mountain climbing two hours after you landed might not settle too well with your aching body. And even if you aren't aching, don't try to be Triathlon Joe or Jane. Nothing kills a week in paradise faster than a nasty sunburn or sprained joint. Prepare. Do a little tanning BEFORE the wedding so your skin will be ready for the tropical rays. If you know you are going to climb or scuba, then you might want to do a couple of trial runs at home to build up your stamina and abilities.
What type of Honeymoon destination best fits you? The world is wide open with many choices these days. You and your spouse-to-be should take some time to decide about how your honeymoon ideas can best fulfill your vacation dreams. You've got to ask yourself some basic questions. Do you want to be active and go white-water rafting in Colorado or is your cup of tea lying on some Caribbean beach and zoning out the world? And, once again, be realistic. You may want to see all of Europe, but you can't cram it into six days and seven nights. Memorable honeymoons are enjoyable vacations, not endurance races.
A very popular honeymoon trend is booking the all-inclusive vacation package. Simply stated, you pay one price and everything from airlines to gratuities is taken care of in advance. The two main venues of all-inclusive vacations are resorts and cruise ships. Resorts offer one amazing location (usually in a tropical paradise) where you can enjoy lots of land activities like golf, tennis, or sitting by the pool. Some resorts even have water toys like sailboats and jet skis to play with. Cruise ships do offer honeymoon suites, but are a bit more self-contained and are often a good deal more formal. You are given a certain "sitting" time for your meals and are sometimes asked to dress a particular way for specific dinnertime events. Although a good deal of onboard activities are planned, you are limited to what the ship has to offer while you are at sea. Nonetheless, the ship does drop anchor at various ports and many fun excursions are offered for passengers who want to regain their land legs.
Be a smart shopper and alert yourself to all the honeymoon package costs. Quite often in the packages that are not "all inclusive," vacationers can find themselves being nickel and dimed for bar drinks and extras like in-room snacks. This is why travel agents can be extremely valuable when planning honeymoons vacations. They'll help you sift through the chaff and find the best deal with a list of all the costs and all the freebies. They're well worth their weight in gold when it comes to saving you time and money during those stressful pre-wedding months.
Remember, it is not uncommon to be alone with each other on some romantic desert island and still get those honeymoon blues. The truth is you and your spouse just experienced one of the biggest emotional highs of your life. After months and months of wedding-planning ups and downs, the Big Day came and past and now suddenly you're Mr. and Mrs. That's a huge swing of the pendulum. Suddenly your new life is passing before your eyes. You're excited about the future, but already nostalgic about the short term past. And as your mind is racing a mile a minute, you realize this person sitting across from you is now your better half "in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part." Whoa! The seriousness of it all suddenly kicks in. But that's okay. It happens this way for everyone and it's important to use the honeymoon time to get closer to one another and adjust to your new life together.
So reach out, hold each other's hand, and repeat those special vows that ended in, "I do." This is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy... and put on some more sun block.

SUMMARY. Outdoor water use, especially for lawn and landscaping irrigation, accounts for a substantial proportion of residential water use and often peaks during summer months. Understanding how to reduce outdoor water use can play a critical role in balancing the increasing demand for and subsequent protection of water resources. This study aims to find out if information-based strategies can be effective in reducing homeowners’ water use as well as identifying the key determinants that can enhance water conservation campaigns. Using online survey data from 2077 randomly selected urban homeowners with home lawns in a relatively water-rich state, we found that social norm-based information is generally more effective to promote household water conservation behavior than education information. Moreover, the results showed that the households’ water-saving actions, lawn watering knowledge, awareness for local water scarcity, attitudes toward water conservation, socio-demographics, and landscape characteristics all play a role in determining household water conservation intention.

Field of Dreams
Having gone to school in Iowa for four years I was never able to make it to Dyersville, the site of the Field of Dreams movie set! So finally, this past weekend, we made a quick pit-stop at the field. This popular Iowa film site is only an hour and forty five minutes from Luther near the Mississippi River.
Field of Dreams
If you haven’t seen “Field of Dreams”, it is about a man, played by Kevin Costner, who hears a voice in his corn field telling him, “If you Build It He Will Come.” This line haunts him and he builds a baseball field (against his extended family’s wishes) in his cornfield. Throughout the movie, viewers are taken through a historical journey through baseball to show what playing on a team has meant to so many people throughout the years as aged baseball players return as their younger selves to Costner’s field.
Even if you aren’t a big baseball fan, I would still highly recommend this movie. It’s not a technical sports film, but rather a heartwarming story about how a sport can bring together generations.
The actually field, did not disappoint whatsoever! Set in a beautiful location, almost everything is still intact from the movie.
The movie was filmed on an original two properties and was combined for the movie.
Dyersville, Iowa is a quaint, cute town on the Eastern side of Iowa. The churches and buildings in the town are beautiful, and it made the drive pretty great to see the movie site, which is tucked a way out of town.
The field is still incredibly well tended and we came at just the right time of year as the corn is almost at its peak height, just like the movie. As we rounded the corner and drove down to the field, I had the chills. There’s something magical about this place.
The benches to watch the baseball games are all original, and it was so special to see kids and adults come to just play a game or catch on the field.
The house is a private residence, however, there is a small gift shop on the grounds you can buy souvenirs from.
My favorite line from the movie is, “If you Build it, he will come.” Change the pronoun “he” to “they” and the line still rings true to this day. The field is still usable and people from all over the world come to play the American classic-baseball.
If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend a trip to the Field of Dreams. If you go, just remember to bring your baseball, mitt, and bat!

A new Gallup poll reinforces what some critics have been saying about the nation’s current health care system: health insurance varies widely across income groups, with those of lower means most likely to lack health coverage.
The poll revealed that Americans in their mid-twenties are the most likely to be uninsured and that insurance coverage correlated with income. For example, only 44 percent of 35-year-olds making less than $24,000 per year had health insurance versus 100 percent of septuagenarians earning more than $24,000.
In 2009, Gallup found that overall 16.2 percent of respondents lacked health coverage, a slight increase over 2008, the first year that Gallup collected data on health coverage. These uninsured, however, are not randomly distributed among the populace but are grouped according to age and income.

400 left without power
Wednesday, May 15, 2013 10:00 PM
Four hundred CEL&P customers were left without power Wednesday morning shortly after 9 a.m. when a vehicle took down the power lines behind the Montgomery County Courthouse, said Phil Goode, manager of CEL&P.
The identity of the driver was not immediately known.
Goode said power was restored to about 380 of those customers without 25 minutes but it took as long as two hours to restore power to the rest of the affected customers in downtown Crawfordsville.

LM press releases
18 March 1997
LM ONLINE BEATS ITN'S GAGGING ORDER
The Guardian Online has removed a thread from its website discussing
the gagging order on LM magazine by ITN. This is the first time
that any discussion of the case on the internet has been stifled.
ITN's gagging order, in the form of a libel writ, was issued on
28 February in response to an article in the February issue of
LM magazine. The article, "The Picture That Fooled The World"
reveals the truth behind the famous ITN pictures of Bosnian Muslims
apparently imprisoned behind a barbed wire fence at Trnopolje
camp in August 1992.
The full story is still available at LM Online and has been reported
in newspapers throughout Europe. In Britain, where the story should
have the most impact, the media has been largely silent, due to
alleged 'legal reasons'. Some, however, have been immune from
these 'legal reasons'. Both the Guardian (12 March) and the Observer
(2 February) have published vituperative articles about the magazine
and those who publish it. These 'legal reasons' have again been
cited by the Guardian Online in a response to those who complained
about the removal of the thread.
Rebecca Fox, a spokeswoman for the Guardian, admitted that while
only one part of one posting was "problematic for legal reasons",
they "felt it best to take down the whole thread."
Mick Hume, LM Editor, said in response:
'The story has been discussed fully and openly on the internet.
The Guardian Online's move to have the whole thread pulled represents
another example of the influence of ITN's gagging order. LM magazine
will use the internet to the full, both through our own site and
on others, in publicising the story and the attempts to gag us.'
Note: LM magazine has also demanded that the ITN news team is
stripped of its BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award, both
awarded in 1993 for its world famous report from Bosnia, first
broadcast on 6 August 1992. The story highlights important issues
concerning journalistic standards and the responsibilities of
war reporters. In the light of Thomas Deichmann's investigation,
the bodies concerned should reconsider the awarding of their coveted
prizes to the ITN reports. LM makes the same request of Broadcast
magazine and two international award bodies.

Update | Oct. 10, 2012
Is the United States experiencing a “Mormon Moment?” The 2012 presidential election is the first in history to see a Mormon candidate — the Republican nominee Mitt Romney — on a major party’s ballot, and Mormons have been the subject of numerous news stories, documentaries and even a popular Broadway musical.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as the Mormon Church is officially called, is the second fastest growing religion in the United States and expanding rapidly worldwide. Yet, despite the recent surge in media interest and coverage, Mormonism remains one of the least understood and most debated religions in the United States.
Because issues of personal faith and religious identity may be too sensitive to address in the classroom, we offer the following five ways to examine Mormonism in broader cultural, historical and political contexts with your students.
Trace the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
What are the origins of the Mormon Church? Under what circumstances did the Latter Day Saint Movement emerge, and how did it compare to other new American religious movements of the early 19th century? What are some of the basic doctrines of the religion and how have they changed over time? How has the faith spread throughout the world, and where are the largest Mormon populations today?
The New York Times article “Mormons’ First Families Rally Behind Romney” connects the early days of the church to today’s political climate, while another recent article, “The Mormon Lens on American History,” describes how Mormon history and scholarship are gaining academic popularity. You may also wish to check out articles from the Times archives, like “Smith’s Mormon Bible: The Story of Its Finding Told by a Contemporary of the Prophet” (PDF) from 1895, and from across the Web, including the official site of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the site for the PBS “Frontline” documentary, “The Mormons.”
Students can create a written guide or timeline, intended to educate their peers on the history of the religion.
Investigate the Contemporary Controversies Surrounding the Mormon Church
Why is the church the object of mockery, debate and even condemnation by so many? What positions and practices are at the heart of contemporary controversies? Or, as two history professors asked, “What makes Mormons such a juicy target?”
From The Learning Network
- Black Mormons and the Politics of Identity
- Gentle Dissent in Mormon Church on Gay Marriage
- Amid Pageantry a Respite from Politics
Around the Web
In its “Room for Debate” series, The New York Times poses the question, “What Is It About the Mormons?” You might also compare and discuss different Op-Eds related to Mormons, like “Why I Love Mormonism,” “Why We Fear Mormons,” “Equal Rights, Gay Rights and the Mormon Church,” “Anne Frank, A Mormon?” and “Why Evangelicals Don’t Like Mormons.”
Additionally, you might also read about the fifth-generation Mormon blogger who came under scrutiny for raising hot-button questions about Mormon history and traditions about the church on his Web site, MormonThink. Or, consider some of the latest statistics about the public perception of Mormons.
Students can write argument essays drawing on the positions presented in any of the “Room for Debate” or Opinion pieces they have read.
Analyze the Portrayal of Mormons in Popular Culture
Students read and discuss reviews (or write their own), compare and contrast how Mormons are portrayed in popular culture (or, alternately, how they are portrayed compared with other religious groups), and analyze the church’s own “I’m a Mormon” advertising campaign. They might create a visual presentation, like a Glog, to reflect their observations.
Explore the Role of Youth in the Mormon Church
What’s the relationship between the church and its young followers? What roles do youth missionaries play? What’s life like for young adult Mormons?
Examine youth missions — an important component of the Mormon Church. As the article “At 19, from Utah to Uganda,” and its accompanying photo slide show explain, young men are expected to take up evangelism on their 19th birthday and many Mormon college students pause their studies to serve in missions. What type of training is involved? How do young missionaries engage with the local communities at their destinations?
You might also take a look at how the image of the clean-cut young Mormon is changing. “To Be Young, Hip and Mormon” addresses the expanding boundaries of Mormon style. How do young Mormons reconcile creative self-expression and the social pressure to party with church guidelines? How are famous followers of the faith, like electronic music whiz Kaskade and “Twilight” series author Stephenie Meyer challenging the public perception of what it means to be Mormon?
Students write essays reflecting on the preservation of religious values in the face of modernity or exploring the ways youth challenge longstanding traditions.
Examine the Intersection of Faith and Politics
What role does Mitt Romney’s faith play in his bid for the presidency? How, if at all, does the discussion surrounding his religion differ from questions of past candidates’ religious beliefs (for example, President Obama’s relationship to his former pastor; George W. Bush’s evangelism; John F. Kennedy’s Catholicism)? Why has Mr. Romney chosen not to address his faith to any significant extent, when so many past candidates have relied on their religious credentials to garner support? And, finally, what influence might Mr. Romney’s faith have on voters in places like Idaho, Nevada and Utah in the 2012 presidential election?
Students read and respond to the “Room for Debate” feature, “Are Republicans Ready Now for a Mormon President?” or further contextualize Mr. Romney’s candidacy by investigating the role of religion throughout U.S. presidential election history.

Divestment and the Occupation of College Hall
The practice of apartheid in South Africa, the racist segregation and discrimination against the native black people by the white Europeans who shared the land, was enforced under South African law from 1948 to 1994. The ruling party, called the National Party, was a white minority who subjugated the rights of the majority, who were black natives. Economically, South Africa was fairly well-developed and host to many international corporations such as IBM, at which many investors from the United States held stock.
In the mid to late 1980’s, the apartheid had been in place nearly 40 years, and was recognized as a social ill. A number of shareholders with South African stock, including many universities, came to see divestment as a non-aggressive form of protest against the system, and began withdrawing their investments. In 1985 these universities included Hampshire College (the first to withdraw investments in the 1970’s), UMass Amherst, Colombia University, and Amherst College, out of 26 institutions total. 1)
Active students at Smith College urged their trustees to consider a similar proposal, requiring total divestments of all holdings in South Africa. However, after the February 24 Board meeting, the trustees announced their divestment policy only included a partial divestment—they would divest from companies that have not signed the Sullivan principles (a set of anti-discrimination principles for US corporations in South Africa), and avoid purchasing stock in banks that are in cooperation with the South African government. 2)
Students, who had been anticipating the publication of the board’s decision ever since November, were outraged at the trustees’ refusal to consider their proposal, claiming that the board had not made a powerful enough statement. Quoted in the February 24th issue of the Sophian, Suzinne Pak ’86 thinks that the recent decision, “is a big step for [the trustees] but means little for the people of South Africa. Anything less than total divestment is support of institutional racism and murder.” 3)
With this attitude, protestors seized College Hall shortly after the decision and barricaded the entrances from February 20th to March 6th, 1986, successfully preventing administrators from entering the building. Participating were about 200 Smith students, a number of faculty members, and supporters from the other 5 Colleges, Dartmouth College, and the endorsement of senator John Kerry. 4) Protesters were equipped with red ribbons and white armbands and some kept makeshift journals out of scrap paper stapled together, items which can be found in the College Archives.
From the spare documents, photographs, artifacts, and oral histories that surface in this collection, one can become familiar with the nature of student protest and activism in the 1980s. There were a number of student groups promoting awareness of ethical issues, specifically the Ethical Investment Committee, of which Suzinne Pak (quoted above) was chair. Prior to the demonstrations in February, students spread awareness about South Africa in the fall through well-attended films and discussions, led by the Ethical Investment Committee and other active students and groups 5)
The student “diaries” from the time of the occupation give insight into the experience of living out a protest for several days. Student protests have been an intrinsic part of residential undergraduate life in the twentieth century since the 1960s, and personal documentation such as student journals provides both the detail to study the dynamics of a specific event, as well as the means to conduct a comparison between distinct protests. The photographs offer a good visual of what the occupation looked like, as well as an image of College Hall as a building brimming with social activism.

It’s easier to slide into an existing behavior than invent an entirely new one.
So when Evan Tana went off to spin up his own mobile company while in residence at Greylock Partners, he tapped into a very familiar behavior.
We make memes and use gifs to express feelings in ways that words alone can’t capture.
Sparks, the new startup he co-founded with Daniel Hammond and Joao Oliveira Simoes, makes meme-making on mobile easy. You find a picture or animated gif through their image search engine, type in a short message, adjust its typeface and placement, and then publish it to friends.
“We think we applied enough constraints so you don’t have to over-think what you’re going to say,” Tana said. “When you pair text with visual communication, there’s a lot more you can do in a single space.”
As you’d guess, inside Sparks there is a news feed of memes and gif commentary that can also be shared on Twitter and Facebook.
“At a high level, what we’re building is a new way for daily interaction around sports, politics, celebrity gossip and movies,” Tana said. “This app lets you create and share ‘Sparks,’ which are these visual and expressive messages from your phone.”
Each Spark has tags, so they’re easily searchable. Right now, it’s more interesting to flip through Sparks’ channels to read what people are saying about the FIFA World Cup or politics than to make your own (at least for me).
Tana raised $2.3 million back in October and added Greylock’s John Lilly to the board. Other investors include CAA, Redpoint Ventures, Instagram’s co-founder Kevin Systrom, Facebook and Quora’s Charlie Cheever, Aditya Agarwal of Dropbox and Facebook and Pulse co-founder Akshay Kothari.

The most important thing to the bankruptcy auction car
- If the insolvency estate does not suffice to satisfy the demands of the creditors , they can apply for an insolvency auction, in which movable and immovable assets are not available
Items are offered for sale.
- An insolvency auction can take place online or in an auction house. For cars, an insolvency auction can be carried out in a car repair shop.
- In order to prevent a car bankruptcy auction, the debtor has to prove that he needs it in order to be able to practice his profession. This does not apply to
When will a car be sold in an insolvency auction?
An insolvency auction in the car must be applied for at the competent district court.
The bankruptcy auction takes place as a form of foreclosure if the debtor is unable to pay the outstanding debt out of the bankruptcy estate. As a rule, bankruptcy auctions take place in an auction house, but an online bankruptcy auction would also be possible. It can also be carried out at the dealership.
In an insolvency auction, the vehicle, jewelry and possibly even the house are made into money , with which the costs are paid and the creditors are satisfied. As a rule, bankruptcy auctions where vehicles, etc. are to be sold are requested by one or more creditors . For the execution of an insolvency auction, whether in the car or other objects, certain conditions must be met.
For example, in order for the car to be offered for sale at the bankruptcy auction, or for the auction to take place, the creditor must obtain an enforcement order from the competent insolvency court . This may be in the form of a judgment or an enforcement order. Furthermore, the writ of execution must contain an enforcement clause in order to be valid. Without a corresponding enforcement clause, the foreclosure and thus the bankruptcy auction, for example in the car, may not be carried out. In addition, the enforcement order must be delivered to the debtor before the commencement of the execution and thus before the bankruptcy sale, so that he can take note of the planning of the bankruptcy sale.
The bankruptcy auction, whether a car, a house or other valuables is offered for sale, is often the last resort for creditors to collect their outstanding debts . Previously, creditors and debtors must have tried to reach an out-of-court settlement. Only when all attempts have failed, legal action will be taken .
An insolvency auction in the car must be applied for at the competent district court . After approval of the application , the creditor can determine in what form he wishes to enforce, one form of which is the foreclosure sale . However, foreclosure or bankruptcy may only be initiated if the debt is higher than the value of the items offered for bankruptcy .
How is a car bankruptcy auction going?
Once the creditors have fulfilled all the conditions for foreclosure and obtain the enforcement order , they can initiate an insolvency auction if their debts are higher than the value of the car.
Whether the car is sold in an auction house or online at the bankruptcy auction , the process always remains the same. For auctions, the most important information is generally provided first. If all participants are present, the lowest bid is communicated. Once this is announced, all interested parties can submit their bids. As with all usual auctions, the bankruptcy auction ends, even in the car, when no other interested party offers more. Then the highest bid is called three times and the highest bidder receives the item.
According to § 44 of the law on foreclosure and forced administration (ZVG), the lowest bid must ” cover the rights of the creditor and the costs of the proceedings to be deducted from the auction proceeds.” What is the best way for you to get out of debt?

How can you prevent an insolvency auction from your car?
Another way to reverse the bankruptcy sale is to negotiate with the creditors.
The insolvency auction, for example, in the car, is the most drastic form of foreclosure and is usually only initiated when debtors and creditors can not agree otherwise. Since the open claims of creditors should be satisfied with the foreclosure sale or bankruptcy auction, it is usually problematic to prevent foreclosure.
However, you get a writ of execution, it is still be possible to set a bankruptcy auction or the continuation of the process. For if, according to § 28 ZVG, “a right apparent from the land register” is known, which precludes the compulsory auction, this usually has to be canceled. Under certain circumstances, however, the court will also grant the creditors a certain period of time within which the reasons against the bankruptcy auction will be removed from the car. If the obstacles can not be demonstrably removed after the deadline , the procedure must be terminated.
Another way to reverse the bankruptcy sale is to negotiate with the creditors. Because the bankruptcy sale of the vehicle can be prevented not only by the court , but also by the creditor who has applied for it. If debtors and creditors have agreed, the creditors can withdraw their petition for bankruptcy auctions.
With the consent of all creditors , the proceedings can also be suspended for the time being. The debtor must submit the request for interim suspension within two weeks after being informed of the bankruptcy of his car. However, the court usually only approves the petition if the debtor can demonstrate that he will be able to meet the outstanding claims of the creditors over the next six months . After the six months, an interim suspension may be renewed by the creditor.
After the bankruptcy , the car can be offered for auction . But if this is needed by the debtor or one of his family members to reach the job and there is no way to use public transport, then the car bankruptcy auction is inadmissible. As for followers, it will vary from case to case. As a rule, the debtor has to prove that he needs it, for example, to practice his profession.

Most dolphins are small, measuring less than 3 metres (10 feet) in length, and have spindle-shaped bodies, beaklike snouts (rostrums), and simple needlelike teeth. Some of these cetaceans are occasionally called porpoises, but scientists prefer to use this term as the common name for the six species in the family Phocoenidae, all of which differ from dolphins in having blunt snouts and spadelike teeth.
Dolphins are popularly noted for their grace, intelligence, playfulness, and friendliness to humans. The most widely recognized species are the common and bottlenose dolphins (Delphinus delphis and Tursiops truncatus). The bottlenose, characterized by a “built-in smile” formed by the curvature of its mouth, has become a familiar performer in oceanariums. It has also become the subject of scientific studies because of its intelligence and ability to communicate by using a range of sounds and ultrasonic pulses. It adapts to captivity better than the common dolphin, which is timid. In addition, the bottlenose dolphin has the longest social memory of any nonhuman species; several members of the species demonstrated the ability to recognize the unique whistles of other individuals they had once associated with some 20 years after becoming separated from them.
Dolphins are capable of living in either fresh or salt water. Distributed worldwide in all oceans and seas except the Caspian and Aral seas, they range from equatorial to subpolar waters and also can be found in many major river systems. The common and bottlenose dolphins are widely distributed in warm and temperate seas. They are swift swimmers; the bottlenose can attain speeds of nearly 30 km/hr (18.5 mph) in short bursts, and common dolphins are even faster. A number of species are attracted by moving ships and often accompany them, leaping alongside and sometimes riding the waves created by the ships’ bows. Some coastal species of oceanic dolphins spend considerable amounts of time in fresh water. Most river dolphins live in fresh water that may be several thousand kilometres from the sea, although some spend their lives in coastal waters. Dolphins are social, gathering in schools from five to several thousand. All are carnivorous, feeding on fish, squid, and other invertebrates.
Dolphins first appear as fossils from the Early Miocene Epoch (23.8 million to 16.4 million years ago)—a time when the cetacean fauna was more diverse. All of today’s dolphin groups were present in the Miocene, as were at least three extinct families whose members would be called dolphins (Eurhinodelphidae, Hemisyntrachelidae, and Acrodelphidae).Family Delphinidae (oceanic, or marine, dolphins)32 species in 17 genera found worldwide, some of which occasionally venture into fresh water. Genus Lagenorhynchus (white-sided and white-beaked dolphins)6 species found in subpolar to temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere and polar to temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere.Genus Stenella (spinner, spotted, and striped dolphins)5 species found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate waters.Genus Cephalorhynchus (piebald dolphins)4 species found in coastal waters of South America, southern Africa, and New Zealand.Genus Globicephala (pilot whales)2 species found worldwide in subpolar to tropical waters.Genus Lissodelphis (right whale dolphins)2 species found in cooler temperate waters, 1 of the Northern Hemisphere and 1 of the Southern Hemisphere.Genus Sousa (humpbacked dolphins)2 3 coastal species, : 1 of eastern Africa, India, and the western Pacific Ocean and , 1 of western Africa, and 1 of northern Australia.Genus Delphinus (common, or short-beaked saddleback, dolphin)1 species found worldwide in tropical to temperate waters.Genus Feresa (pygmy killer whale)1 species found worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters.Genus Grampus (grampus, or Risso’s dolphin)1 species found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate regions.Genus Lagenodelphis (Fraser’s dolphin)1 species found in tropical and subtropical waters.Genus Orcaella (Irrawaddy dolphin)1 coastal species of eastern India, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.Genus Orcinus (killer whale, or orca)1 species found worldwide.Genus Peponocephala (melon-headed whale)1 offshore species found worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters.Genus Pseudorca (false killer whale)1 species found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate waters.Genus Sotalia (tucuxi, or gray dolphin)1 species of the rivers and coasts of tropical and subtropical eastern South America.Genus Steno (rough-toothed dolphin)1 deepwater species found worldwide in tropical to warm temperate waters.Genus Tursiops (bottlenose dolphin)3 species, 1 found worldwide in tropical to cold temperate waters, 1 found in the Indian and western Pacific oceans, and 1 found off the coast of southern Australia.Family Platanistidae (river dolphins)5 species in 4 genera inhabiting rivers and coasts of eastern South America and China and the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers.
