Umbrellas, glasses, cream: the best way to protect yourself from the sun and uv rays

As soon as the sun comes out we are drawn to the outdoors. But the higher the temperatures, the more cautious you should be. If you want to enjoy the sun without worrying, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

The right parasol

Sunshades not only provide shade, they also protect against sunburn. The light or UV protection factor of the fabric is best between 60 and 80, advises gerd engelhardt from tuv rheinland. These are special uv-protective textiles. According to the german cancer aid and the working group for dermatological prevention, a normal sunshade can only have a protection factor of 5. For comparison: tree foliage achieves a value of between 5 and 15, a light female shirt 10 and densely woven, darker cotton clothing over 20.

Spd in swimming pool

The water in the coarse swimming pool of the terraced swimming pool glistened deep blue and invitingly in the evening sun as manager roland buhner invited the group from the local SPD association of bad kissingen to the pool. The members around the chairman and city councillor tobias schneider had not come to do a test swim in the pool, but to find out about the situation of the pool after the extensive tree removals.

The tour began with the swimming and diving area. At the site of the pool with waterfall, which had repeatedly caused problems in the past, a new, flat sunbathing area has been created, where in the future it will also be possible to rent deckchairs. And of course, the visitors were especially excited about the new pools in the children’s and non-swimmer’s area, which had been redesigned in recent months and equipped with stainless steel pools. The group spent a total of almost two hours in the pool.

Minister prefers 'a boor as a whole

Eight bratwursts a day – for economics minister martin zeil, that’s no problem at all at the moment. He is once again on a three-day bratwurst tour through franconia. “After that, it”s time for sports”, the FDP politician revealed yesterday at the kulmbach marketplace.
"I know that one, don"t I?…" Guesswork prevailed yesterday afternoon on the market square. But when the local FDP put up the yellow tents, the people of kulmbach could believe their eyes. Yes, it was him: the man in casual female shirt was none other than economics minister martin zeil. At the small wooden booth, where the sausages are still roasted on the charcoal grill, he and the chairman of the FDP state parliamentary group, thomas hacker, enjoyed the kulmbach specialty.
For the minister there was even "A boor in the whole". While thomas hacker’s memories of his time in kulmbach were awakened, the minister was amazed at the different sausages and loved to explain the peculiarities of a genuine kulmbacher stollen. "I am a friend of the fine bratwursts", faction leader thomas hacker gushed and laughed.
The economics minister already has plenty of experience with sausages, after all, his wife barbara comes from treuchtlingen. "I have a french mother-in-law", laughed the minister of economics, openly admitting that even on christmas eve zeils always serves bratwurst. Mostly fried and with herbs.
"Of course i eat bratwurst with mustard. The yellow blob is the right root", martin zeil alluded to politics. "As long as I am minister of economics, there will be no standardized bratwurst. And i am also in favor of everyone eating what he or she likes. We are against a regulatory frenzy, he said.
His bratwurst tour took him from hof via hirschaid, fochheim and bayreuth to kulmbach. In coburg, the minister even filled bratwurst dough into his own intestines. The tour also serves to get into conversation with the people. "People come up to me. People are concerned about what will happen if there really is a change of government. People often bring regional issues to me", so zeil.

Here's how the candidates scored in bamberg county

Every four years, the district of bamberg is split in two. Then 19 communities will be added to the federal constituency of kulmbach, the remaining 16 will form the constituency of bamberg together with the city of bamberg and parts of the district of forchheim. And while the bamberg candidates are well-known because most of them come from here, hardly anyone in the kulmbach catchment area knows them because almost all of them come from there or from lichtenfels. But the results so far have mostly been strikingly similar: the CSU candidates won the direct mandate by a wide margin, and they could each count on vote shares from the district of bamberg well beyond the 50 percent mark.

In the current federal election, however, the picture has become somewhat differentiated. Although the CSU candidates thomas silberhorn (bamberg) and emmi zeulner (kulmbach) again secured direct entry into the berlin parliament. But while silberhorn lost more than 2,000 votes in the 16 southern district municipalities compared to 2013 and slipped from 57 to 45 percent, zeulner between viereth and wattendorf received only 261 fewer first votes than four years ago.
