“…the unification treaty signed on September 20, 1990, declared 3 October as the official national holiday, ending the division of Germany.  It marks the dissolution of the GDR (East Germany), which in accordance with Article 23 of the German Basic Law, required the vote of the five eastern Bundesländer to join the Federal Republic of Germany as a speedy unification, which was considered vital during these economically unstable times.  In this way, October 3, 1990, marks the last East German government.”

I am declaring October to be German Heritage/History month.
 
German History/Heritage Month
(not necessarily in any specific order)
This is an unofficial rendering and celebration of German History Month.  It is by no means an exhaustive list.  It DOES, however, represent a shortlist of famous Germans citizens as well as German/American citizens and their accomplishments.  The effort, whether or not we were successful, was to steer clear of glorifying Nazis as they have their own well-documented place in history.  More times than not, exact dates do not match-up their placement in this celebration.  We hope you enjoy this celebration as much as we did gathering all this information.

I actually learned something at work.  I received an order of parts with a part number of XXXXUX, but there was no form block location to do this order.  I went to the Hänel, TCS and SAMS to try to find the form block; nothing!  I went back to the originator of the order, and discovered that XXXXUX had nothing to do, at least in this instance, with neither the location nor the form black, because the “U” means “spare parts.” I had to use XXXX-X instead.  So the “U” was pointless and the “-“ made the difference.  THEN, I had to determine if the form block was HB, AHB or BPHB.  This time I took XXXX-X to the Hänel, started with HB, entered it into the search and WAH-LAH!  HBXXXX-X did the trick.  Not only did I find the shelf location, I also found the form block.  Planning REALLY could’ve made this A WHOLE LOT simpler by putting HBXXXX-X into the planning, but no, that’s too easy.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help us to avoid evil and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy.
