Engines were already being built at the site in Zafra in 1875, where DEUTZ today has its main factory for processing engine components. Around 500 employees in modern manufacturing facilities produce engine blocks, cylinder blocks, connecting rods, and gears for the Group's assembly lines in Cologne and Ulm. DEUTZ's new 3.9-litre diesel engine is mostly used in agricultural and construction machines. It is designed for long service life as an industrial engine and will be built until at least 2035. Series production will start in the coming year after the current prototype phase. Available in a power range from 55 to 160kW, this engine represents an important future project for Deutz with 50,000 units to be produced per year. It is the same size as its 3.6-litre predecessor, so it can be installed in the same vehicles, providing very efficient performance. “Our engines are typically deployed in off-highway applications like agricultural and construction machines, which are in constant use and move heavy loads. We'll continue to need an internal combustion engine to move those machines. For now, it will be in the form we use today: the diesel engine. Synthetic fuels or hydrogen can considerably prolong their deployment,” explains Alejandro Castilla De La Hoya, Zafra Plant Manager. He points out that the income from this area finances DEUTZ's investments in the green segment, which is dedicated to the transformation of mobility. The 3.9-litre diesel engine is already set to run on gas or hydrogen in the future. “Based on today's design, this diesel engine can become a green engine in the long run,” says Manuel Rodríguez López, Industrialisation Manager. This is possible thanks to small modifications, particularly to the cylinder head. However, the engine remains mostly the same. MAPAL is already collaborating on DEUTZ's first hydrogen engine – a huge 7.8 litres. Two weeks from design freeze to offer “Our clients' development periods for new parts are becoming shorter and shorter,” explains Thomas Spang, Global Head of Tool Management at MAPAL. This represents a growing challenge for tool manufacturers or complete suppliers like MAPAL. This is true if plans change at the last minute while the deadline for the tool design remains the same. For the engine block of the new 3.9-litre diesel engine, MAPAL only had two weeks after the design freeze to complete a final offer. An ardent team of experts in Aalen completed this ambitious task on time. Well-tuned workflows and many years of experience with the client's production methods proved advantageous for the team. MAPAL has been conducting tool management for DEUTZ in Spain for 18 years and several projects have been completed together over the years. MAPAL already engineered the machining of the engine blocks for the predecessor 3.6-litre diesel engine, which meant they could draw on practical experience and didn't have to start from scratch. For example, the tool experts already knew which machines the engine manufacturer had from previous projects. DEUTZ has equipped its assembly line in Zafra with new 5-axis machines over recent years so that they can easily switch to new products. When DEUTZ sent their request, the Tool Management department, in collaboration with the Technology Expert Team (TET) in Aalen, first gave some thought to the production process. “To be quick here, we don't concern ourselves with detail at this early stage, but instead pull together reference tools and concepts from previously completed projects,” explains Harald Traub from TET. As a project engineer, he is responsible for planning the entire process. “In this way, we can specify an approximate budget and the rough scope of the tool package for the client.” One hundred different tools for an engine block After this rough planning, the concrete tool design followed in the second week. In the end, MAPAL's offer for the series production of the motor block included almost 100 different tools. Many custom tools achieve short machining times and, thus, high economic efficiency. Aside from these, standard tools are used mainly for milling. A few close-to-standard tools were also used to produce prototypes quickly. Series production can then begin with the optimal set of tools. As part of their original delivery, MAPAL supplied consumable tools as well as the required tool holders and adapters to DEUTZ. All other consumables will be handled by the tool management on-site. From now on, the client no longer pays per tool but per completed part—i.e., the cost per part is billed. The unit costs at first correspond to the price determined during engineering. Certain ratios have been agreed upon for the following years. The client receives an increasing rebate percentage and pays a bit less per unit every year. For this business model to work out, MAPAL has to implement continual improvements to save costs. This is done with new tool technologies and corresponding optimisation. The costs per part are fixed over the contract term, after which a reassessment occurs. Such contracts run over four to five years and offer the client planning security. “With our engineering expertise, we support DEUTZ beyond the tool-setting area and cultivate a close partnership,” Spang highlights. After helping to build the prototype, it is the tool management's turn to shine on-site during series production. DEUTZ uses approximately 1,300 different tools in total. Thousands of tools are available from stock and must be managed in Zafra. To keep inventory optimal, MAPAL uses its warehouse management systems and digital solutions with the cloud-based software c-Com for tool management. The Digital Tool Management 4.0 doesn't only handle procurement processes, which are initiated semi-automatically; it also acts as a reporting tool to analyse cost drivers and stocks. Industrialisation Manager Manuel Rodríguez López praises the good collaboration with MAPAL regarding tool management: “Over the course of our cooperation, we have developed extensive technological concepts, which go far beyond mere logistics. Besides achieving cost reductions, tool setting is particularly important for us. The MAPAL employees working on-site have much know-how and ensure that production has exactly the tool they need at the right time.” MAPAL's tool manager on site is David Castaño. MAPAL also employs tool setters permanently in Zafra. They make sure that a dozen different parts are produced without a hitch. “It is very beneficial to have David here on-site with us,” emphasises Manuel Padilla Fernández, Manufacturing Engineering Manager at DEUTZ. “We can talk about any opportunities for optimisation directly at the machine. We don't consider David Castaño an external service provider but a part of our team. It's a very strong cooperation.” Developing together to solve problems If required, new tool solutions can be developed in Aalen via the local MAPAL team. That was the case in Zafra when it became necessary to optimise the tools for machining the bore in the crankshaft and camshaft. A new machining concept from MAPAL with the HPR400 reamer was implemented in cooperation with DEUTZ. David Castaño is convinced of its advantages: “The tool life of the previous tool was 350 units, and resetting was required every 100 units. With the HPR400, we achieve a tool life of 1,000 parts without resetting. The resulting machining quality is exceptionally go

#172 Toxische Beziehungen – mit Marleen Spang Das Thema „toxische Beziehungen“ ist traurigerweise nach wie vor ein Klassiker, obwohl schon so viel darüber gesprochen wurde. Niemand ist davor geschützt, oft merkt man es lange nicht und die Folgen werden häufig unterschätzt. Und als ehemalige Langzeit- Betroffene weiß ich, dass es IMMER hilfreich ist, unterschiedliche Perspektiven, unterschiedliche Menschen, unterschiedliche Erfahrungen dazu zu hören, um dieses sehr komplexe Puzzle für sich selbst endgültig aufzulösen und aus diesem Karussell des Schmerzes nachhaltig und für alle Zeiten auszusteigen. Ich besuche in dieser Folge Marleen Spang in ihrer Praxis für Psychotherapie in Hamburg. Marleen hilft unter anderem Menschen dabei, einen Ausstieg aus Beziehungen zu finden, die schädigend und belastend sind und das ist häufig gar nicht so leicht.
Literaturkritik.de: "Die Haushofers - Eine Münchner Gelehrten- und Künstlerfamilie" - Anmerkungen zu Gerd Holzheimers Darstellung der "Familie Haushofer in Kunst, Wissenschaft und Politik. - eine Rezension von Christian W. Spang (Hördauer ca. 47 Minuten) Einige Vertreter(innen) der alteingesessenen Familie Haushofer eignen sich zweifellos dazu, verschiedene Aspekte der Münchner Stadtgeschichte bzw. der bayrischen Landesgeschichte von der Proklamation des bayrischen Königreichs bis zum Ende des „Dritten Reiches“ zu beleuchten, andere Familienmitglieder waren eher auf der Ebene der europäisch-asiatischen Politik der 1920er bis 40er Jahre zu Hause. Gerade dieser Fassettenreichtum macht die Beschäftigung mit der Familie Haushofer spannend. Über deren bekannteste Mitglieder erschienen im Laufe der Jahre mehrere Monographien, aber auch Sammelbandbeiträge oder Artikel in verschiedenen Zeitschriften und Zeitungen. Berücksichtigt man einige ältere amerikanische sowie japanische Werke aus der Phase des Zweiten Weltkrieges, so kommt man leicht auf eine Zeitspanne von mindestens acht Jahrzehnten Haushofer-Forschung. ...

Webcomic communities have different cultures, but why and where do they come from? DD's culture is pretty chill, we're reasonably neutral and accepting of a wide range of ideas and perspectives, we're egalitarian to a very high degree, we don't do cliques, we don't exclude, we don't tend to jump on culture wars… We don't like tribalism of partisanship. So why are we like that? Well the culture of DD is strongly tied to our distant origins in 2002 back when we were formed, 21 years ago in the early days of the internet when things online were just getting good. Dylan Squires, aka Volte6, had some spare time and decided to invest it in creating a webcomic hosting site. Those weren't really a thing back then, there weren't even that many webcomics online back in 2002 and social media wasn't a thing yet either. Dylan was a Gen Xer. He started out by contacting a bunch of webcomicers and offering them hosting on DD. There were so many benefits to it: Free hosting, comments, fan resources, forums and other things that were REALLY hard for people to set up themselves back then without programming knowledge. Out of the people who first joined the site, Ronson, Black Kitty, Spang, and Skoolmunkee became the administration team. They were all successful webcomicers in their own right and all of a similar age to Dylan: all Generation X. -I didn't join till 2003 and didn't become an admin till 2007! The 19th of March to be exact. Gen Xers and the older Millennials who started out on DD from the beginning didn't grow up with the internet or social media. They dived into the net and learned about it from it's early days in the 90s when they were in their 20s and 30s. This gave them a very different character to younger Millennials and Gen Z who're more embedded with the net because they grew up with a world bound by it. In particular social media has made people more extreme, partisan, tribal and more likely to be embedded in social bubbles because the algorithms used to encourage user participation and retention force people into social echo-chambers and push them towards extremest positions by only showing them things that elicit strong reactions. The original admin team on DD were all educated, professional young adults, with successful webcomics. All were North American. None were overly political or religious but they weren't anti-those things either. They were an accepting crowd with neutral views on most topics, back when the internet wasn't driven mainly by social media outrage and fake pop-culture wars. So they created a very welcoming and open community. The only other webcomic host at the time was the Keespace/Keenspot duopoly which ingrained a culture of “haves” and have-nots“: Keenspot were the picked few webcomicers who got to join the elite group with special privilege on the site while Keenspce consisted of everyone else. Many of the Keenspot creators actively looked down on the Keenspacers, so much so that they eventually changed the name of that part of their site to ”Comic Genesis" so they couldn't be confused with the Keenspot comicers. Drunk duck was a massive contrast to this! We vowed never to have a classist structure and to always stay egalitarian. Indeed the most skilled, professional, and established comicers on DD have always mixed freely with newbies and vice versa, everyone is always ready to help one another. Drunk Duck was always built around the idea of community. When Drunk Duck had its major collapse in about 2012 we lost a lot of users to other sites, mainly Comic Fury which had been created by one of our own disaffected people. They went there because it had a similar feel to us (since it was roughly based on us). It was founded by a younger Millennial so the social feel was quite different. At the stage a lot of the users who went there and stayed were younger Millennials because they had just been starting out and needed a stable host, they also hadn't been around on DD long enough to establish any sort of loyalty. So Comic Fury had a massive boost at that point and kept up the momentum eventually welcoming the young Gen Zers, while Drunk Duck had older Millennials and Gen Xers rejoining us. Hence DD always had a different, older, more neutral feel. Things move at a much slower place. We have to mention the massive corporate sites: Webtoon and Tapas. These places are what DD was set to be when Platinum comics brought us back in the mid 2000s. They had a bit of the Keenspace/Keenspot feel of haves and have-nots, they encourage a lot of users who's creative ideas are based on producing products. It's a very ambitious crowd and the work often veers towards a bit of a mainstream, unified blandness just by the nature of them being so large, successful and corporate driven. There's nothing wrong with that it's just the nature of those types of site and it's exactly what DD had started to become before them when we had the big money. So that's the reason we are how we are: a bunch of weirdos! When the other admins left and I was managing the site on my own I wanted to keep us how we were because I felt that's what our loyal people appreciated about us. So I engaged other admins who matched that vibe. I feel we've stayed pretty much the same since we were founded in 2002. What do you think?

Also an ex wild Weasel?00:22:47 If you could have persuaded the top Brass to keep the F-4G into the Balkans and beyond, what upgrades would you say it needed to stay relevant?00:29:23 You mentioned something close to the F-15E being closer to the WW role...00:30:20 Are you aware of or do you believe the systems on the F-16CJ have gotten better since the last time you flew with them?00:31:31 Is Starbaby the GIB who started chewing out *Redacted* in his first deployment to Germany as described in his book?00:33:22 Is there still a big weasel mission to suppress or destroy AAA?00:36:50 I have a question about beam rider weapons, like the Ataka, or the Vikhr.

In episode 60 I talk to Rachid Fakhre (Spang Sisters) about Eugene McDaniels, an indelible stamp on the face of modern music. His career as an artist, songwriter, and producer not only spanned decades and genres, but entire generations, weaving its way through the work of fellow artists, often marking their successes as well as taking its own trailblazing path. Eugene McDaniels always arrived in the first wave - seeking then finding new, and sometimes strange, territories. He will always be known as one of the pioneers, wherever his work and words take him. Even from its inception, his career was destined to rattle the establishment. His first Billboard hits as Gene McDaniels, “A Hundred Pounds of Clay,” and “Tower of Strength,” shot to the Billboard Top 10 on the mainstream pop charts in an era where music by black artists was relegated to “race music.” A decade after his initial successes, Eugene planted a flag for the emerging black consciousness movement, reclaiming his name, his identity as an artist, and declaring a new purpose for the socially explosive Outlaw and Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse albums.

Eric Spang underwent a routine prostate examination in late-2020. His blood test revealed elevated levels of a prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This sometimes indicates the presence of prostate cancer. He underwent a biopsy to confirm. When his biopsy came back apparently positive, Mr. Spang and his wife discussed his options and his doctor. After seeking a second opinion, surgeons removed Mr. Spang's prostate, believing the procedure would save his life. It wasn't until the procedure concluded that the surgeons realized the mistake. Mr. Spang did not have prostate cancer...

Tony Lindsay, who was born in Kingston, New York, now calls San Francisco his home, is back in the SANTANA lineup. He first toured with SANTANA in 1991 and can be heard on the 1992 release, Milagro. When not touring with SANTANA, he sings for Spang-a-Lang, a local R&B/Jazz/Pop group he founded that has opened for several well-known acts, including Curtis Mayfield, Jr. Walker, Tower of Power, and Average White Band, to name a few. As an individual, Tony has recorded or performed with several artists, including Tevin Campbell, O'Jays, Al Jarreau, Steve Winwood, Johnny Gill, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin, and Lou Rawls. His full-bodied tenor voice and unique style have paved the way for his participation in a variety of musical projects, including a 1993 duet performance with Angela Bofill and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Avery Fischer Hall in NY. (The song was written by Narada Michael Walden, and entitled "Enough for Everyone.") Tony's voice can also be heard on Mazda, Hotwheels, Dreyer's Ice Cream and Wendy's commercials as well as on the "Adventures of Kanga Roddy." Tony is also a talented song writer, and sings with the Dancing with the Stars Road Tour. Find out more about Tony on his website, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
This conversation is coming from the view point of Christians, who are part of the public school system. How can parents get involved? And what should parents do if they have children in public school? Today's chat with Lisa Hurst, Marj Spang, and Katrina Brechbill is about how these families have navigated parenting through public school, and what they have been intentional about teaching their children, knowing what they could be exposed to or taught at a public school.Mentioned in Today's Podcast:Praying the Scriptures for Your Children 20th Anniversary EditionPraying the Scriptures for Your Teens:Credits:https://newportchurch.nethttps://doveusa.orghttps://dcfi.orgIntro/Exit Music Source Credit: https://www.bensound.com
This show is a part two to my conversation with Tim Spang of Spang Builders. My guest today is Tim's daughter Jamie, next gen in the family business. I had the honor of working with their family for about a year and half. In this show we talk about her perspective on where they were stuck as a family and a business, how we worked through it, and how she managed getting married, becoming a mom, and building a house all while in the operating role in the business. What you'll learn in this episode: Finding your place in the family business How the next gen can add value and bring new opportunities to the table Working with communication styles between generations The unique strengths of the younger generation in leadership roles Separating the business from the family unit Implementing change that will actually stick Tying personal visions into the vision of the business Navigating new motherhood and the business Deciphering if your sacrifices are aligned with what you truly want Replacing life balance with life integration Resources: Spang Builders- https://www.spangbuilders.com/ Jamie's LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameson-spang-3475ba48/ Bio: Jameson is a second generation addition to the family business. Jamie grew up in Kennebunkport and has always been surrounded by the construction world. She grew up going to job sites and meeting clients with her father, Tim. So as they say. “It's in her blood!” Jamie attended Kennebunk High School where she excelled at academics and athletics. She was a National Honor Student, a three year varsity soccer player and a four year varsity lacrosse player earning All-American Honors. While Jamie matriculated at Bowdoin College, she transferred to Babson College to pursue a degree in finance and entrepreneurship knowing that someday she may want to become part of the family business. At Babson, she continued her lacrosse career; she was a four year starter, Conference Rookie of the Year, two year Most Valuable Player, four year All Conference Player, two year All-Region Player and she was selected to play on the Division Three Senior North-South All-Star game. Needless to say, she understands the immense value of teamwork! After graduation, Jamie worked in corporate banking for 2 years, but decided that she wasn't ready to hang up her lacrosse stick quite yet. She became the assistant coach for the Women's Lacrosse team at Wheaton College and then at Bates College. While Jamie still loved the game of lacrosse, she was ready to settle into a steady career and it was a natural progression for her to join the family business. She brings a wealth of construction experience, determination and a solid educational background to her management position on the Hazelwood Handyman and Spang Builders teams. In her spare time, Jamie loves to spend time with her husband on the family farm, play with her dogs, watch sports, and read historical novels. Jamie and Kevin welcomed a son, Parsons, in January 2020. He's the light of their life!
One of the biggest challenges of navigating family succession is the fear of impacting the family negatively . I've seen in my work with clients that at the heart of it all, the family loves one another and wants what's best for each other. As we look at what everyone wants individually and collectively, the leaders in the family may worry about creating strife between family members or making decisions they will later regret. Not to mention, there is not a family without some level of dysfunction and communication challenges. Tim Spang has run his company for over 40 years. Tim started with his wife and later integrated his son and daughter. In this episode, we talk about how they navigate the business without sacrificing the core of their relationships.Tim has such a big heart and open soul and his willingness to get vulnerable in this episode is invaluable for anyone looking at some level of transition in future. What you will learn in this episode: What Tim learned from watching his father run a business before him What can happen when kids are thrown into the family business too quickly How Tim recognized the familial patterns in their business that were causing strife How to overcome the fear of the businesses pulling the family apart Maintaining strong family relationships during business challenges Why individual self-discovery is key to the success of a family business Establishing healthy boundaries for the family within the business The danger of family dynamics affecting other employees Developing the leadership team that allows you to take a real vacation Why it's essential to look for outside help in a succession process A real Mainer, Tim grew up in Kennebunkport at the family farm and motel/campground resort known as the Beachwood. From the age of 12, he worked for the company construction crew during the summer months and weekends. Upon graduating from Biddeford High School in 1983, Tim worked briefly for another local construction company. However, after working in the family businesses and on the farm since childhood, Tim was no stranger to hard work. And if he was going to work hard, he figured it might as well be for himself. Spang Builders was subsequently started in 1984. Tim began his business as a jack-of-all-trades with a can-do attitude. He grew the business from odd jobs and small remodels to fine, custom home building and remodeling. Tim is proud that Spang Builders is now one of the most sought-after and well-respected construction companies in southern Maine, known for superb quality, unparalleled customer service, fiscal responsibility, and timely completion. When Tim is not consulting with clients, office managers, sub-contractors and foremen, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Louise, and their two children, Jameson and Clayton, on their small farm or Down East camp. He enjoys dirt biking and snow-mobiling with Clayton as often as possible, nurturing his young-at-heart attitude! Tim and Louise became grandparents in January 2020 and their grandson, Parsons, is a source of daily joy. He's already getting his feet wet visiting sites and a regular in the office...the third generation!
This episode was originally supposed to be a solo one but after speaking with a few friends, I realized this question of honesty was being felt by the collective. So I brought my good friend Emily Spang on the show to get real and to dig into the question of “Am I being honest with myself?” We address resistance, stillness, and what happens when you finally identify your own truth.We talk about...[5:44] What is honesty?[12:09] truth and core values[17:02] Resistance vs Stillness[22:54] Listening to yourself and being silent[30:16] Reflecting and picturing your perfect day[32:57] Learning to be honest with yourself and others[39:26] Having faith in yourself and living with intention[45:00] What happens when you identify your own truth[51:29] The small things you can do nextQUOTES“One thing I started to realize is that as you're going through life and you're trying to figure out what you want... if you're coming up with a lot of resistance…they are big signs from the universe that no, you probably shouldn't go down that road.” - Emily Spang“Identify what is your actual truth because I think a lot of people take on other peoples' truths and they are living this life and doing these things that are like, ‘Wait a second why am I doing this. The isn't even the thing that I want to do. This somehow has been engrained in me to do this and I don't even like it.” - Emily SpangTHIS WEEK'S INTENTIONI embrace a life of intention and do whatever it takes to become my highest selfRESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:Sign up for our webinar: The 3 Secrets Behind Building An Intentional Life with Amanda TobeThe Seat of the Soul* by Gary Zukav*This is an affiliate link.
