The whole thing is completely in the stage of experimentation, when one understands that a sick heart, previously healthy, should be replaced. It is on the other side to see that it goes significantly forward and that you see now just with long term functioning blood pumps in increasingly that they are tolerable and that they afford that, it is hoped that at the end of an artificial heart.

This report: Death of a village the music piece to the hour of death was suggestively: the briquette March adopted a village that long in its ' history had only an error - it was built on brown coal. Alversdorf died on schedule to the industrial progress. The nearby power plant Offleben in Niedersachesen needs the coal under Alversdorf. As a result, School, houses, barns, Church had to be demolished. Costs 20 million mark abruptly end a thousand years history of the village and the compensation for the villagers.
Even the dead move. IHE To find they finally rest in the cemeteries of the neighbouring villages.
The last of 3,000 residents prepare their relocation in other villages in these days. They feel victimized our economy programmed on profitability and progress?
(Original sound): "no, I am going do not like from Alversdorf away. I live here for 12 years and I have settled well here and I'm really sorry one." "Leave you like Alversdorf?" "No". "Why not?" "Because in Alversdorf that whole village was a family." "We have to Very much tied it, we were all a community." "And that's we now with you? Want to stay you prefer living in Alversdorf?" "Yes, I want to stay here like, because here not so much city traffic is." "And you?" "In the school there are friends as in Schöningen easier." "I want to stay here like to." "And why?"Because here so A lot has friends and you can play."
The overburden excavator eats daily above 10 metres. In a few months, Alversdorf is only a coal mine. Understanding of the death of Alversdorf recruited a member of Board of the brown coal power plant. (Original sound): "under Alversdorf store at least 30 million tons of brown coal. Range 6 years at an annual funding from 5 million for us after all, and thus provided in the Harz-Heide room about 300,000 people."

This technique: Yak 40 - VFW 614 loans from Bonn gave the necessary impetus for Germany's first jet airliner in the self-construction: the VFW-Fokker 614. She presented themselves in Bremen. Designed for 40 passengers, she can land on dirt courts and grass scars.
The short-haul jet rolled out under its own power on the slopes. The turbines - to the protection against rockfall on the wing montiertbleiben the problem child of the Bremen aircraft manufacturer: because the supplier Rolls-Royce is struggling for economic survival. The cockpit is the electronics of a jumbo jet. The purchase price: 9 million mark a dumping price of only 3 million Soviet send their new Yak 40 in the race against German competition. Three engines with guarantee a start and landing distance per 1500 kg thrust as in the German model of less than 500 meters. The cabin up to 28 persons. Equipped with weather radar and auto pilot the unbeatably cheap Russian Jet has the chance to fill a market gap in the international offer.

It notes: heart surgery in sheep of heart and cardiovascular death has become the No. 1 disease of civilization. In the surgical Research Division of the Berlin hospital Westend sheep serve pioneer involuntarily for people with heart disease. Sheep will be tested today, tomorrow maybe promise rescue thousands of people: the exchange of sick hearts against artificial heart pump.
Sheep have roughly the same size hearts as people. Circulation and respiration of the animal be kept stable through a heart-lung machine after heart is taken. The artificial pump was developed by engineers and physicians of the hospital itself. The sheep live only about a day with its artificial heart. The most common cause of death: blood clots that formed inside the pump. Breeding of cell cultures on the interior walls of plastic hearts and new materials should resolve this problem. We asked the team leader, Professor Bücherl, about the future prospects of his new method of implantation: (original sound): "Herr Professor, research on the development of an artificial heart, how far is the medicine in this area?" "Well, first, I am investigating, Yes, you've seen that we are about 20 doctors, engineers and other scientific staff and to the second page of this issue, there are A few centers in the world, which are today engaged in such experiments. The whole thing is completely in the stage of experimentation, if one understands that a sick heart, previously healthy, should be be replaced. It is on the other side to see that it goes significantly forward and that you see now just with long term functioning blood pumps in increasingly that they are tolerable and that they afford that, it is hoped that at the end of an artificial heart."

This music: Popol-Vuh group a black electronic cabinet, the 7 billion sounds mountains to. Its owners: "Popol Vuh", an avant-garde group of musicians that stayed under the suspicious gaze of locals in the Bavarian sneezing Bach to open up a new world of sound in the pure mountain air. We listened to them as they took advantage of the last days of winter for a technical discussion in the open air.
(Original sound): first of all, the one who know what is a trip, the others surprised will be because they say: what's going on inside of me? And that's the beauty that you yourself are doing what, and that the music does what with you. This is like a dream: new layers of your unconscious be friends through the music may slightly clearer, as are tangible. Times to lead the people there, where it is different than usual." Electronic House music in an old farmhouse. Progressively tuned young people are the critical audience at the "Popol Vuh" operate their 80,000 mark device. "The electronic cabinet only that which we ourselves into feeling comes from", do you mean and invite the purchase of their first LP.

This sport: cycling Berlin-Kreuzberg cycling race in Berlin! The asphalt hunts in the sea of houses of Kreuzberg, since decades kick off the immerses season, were already more than nu purely sporting event. Balcony and basement! Molle and environment! are the traditional backdrop for the annual showdown between Berlin local variables and some stars flown in. The two kilometre long circuit had to be passed through-hinreichend opportunity for each audience to remember a favorite visually 55 times. Finally, an imported driver ACE and a Berlin sports shared the two first places.
