In medicine we continue Munich surgical University Clinic doctors dared the first heart transplant in Germany and failed. Your patient survived the operation only for one day. Professor Zenker, the head of 30-Member doctors team, had prepared the first heart transplant consistently for half a year. We asked for his verdict on the unsuccessful operation: "one should, I believe, not so much value put on personal success or failure.
We place no value at all on prestige – only the welfare of the patient or the patient is decisive for us. What touched us after this operation, is that we could not fulfill the hopes of the patient and his relatives.
What insights could. You win now for the future at this heart transplant?
First of all you, that such difficult intervention yet in a University Clinic is technically well feasible. And still, even a sick person that one can expect of such a heart transplant, the heaviest secondary heart damage has been shown to.
In my clinic, the problem of organ transplantation, will be pursued particularly also the heart transplant and carried out.
You too can think of other organs? We also remember to transplant the liver in the future."

Doing up-to-date notes to the time when a 2 day visit received Chancellor Kiesinger UK Prime Minister Wilson in Bonn. The relationship of between the two countries, which is "now more than ever", could not be charged also by demonstrations against British policy on Biafra.
In Bonn and Berlin, the interlocutors stressed again that a United Europe without England was unthinkable for them. Until then, the crack between the EEC and the United Kingdom should be covered by a commercial arrangement. For the evidence of sympathy, the premier thanked in his message to the Berliners. "British troops will stay here", so he said, "to get the political system you under which you To want to live."
The snow storm over Berlin prevented the members of extra-parliamentary opposition not to demonstrate. On discs, posters and banners, about 2,000 demonstrators expressed their protest against the fascist terror in the world.
The protesters initially adhered to the roadmap agreed with the police, but then how ever attempting to storm the Kaufhaus des Westens. Berlin's guardians of public order were given the opportunity to warm up. Nine protesters were arrested, the rest was later self-criticism. One famous wrong once again to have interpreted the tactics of their great role models.
Snow from the door to the street, freezing from the North Cape to Sicily. Europe groaned under the pressure of the winter. The cameramen from UFA doing were studies of the snow chaos in Northern Germany. Trains had more than 3 hours late; 6,000 troops alone in Hamburg, tried to make the main roads free of snow; Squads were used, start - and clear land to keep the airfield, until weather allowed flights.
According to first estimates, the Hanseatic city has to pay at least 3 million mark for the Elimination of the snow masses. The only ones that the snowiest winter rejoiced over one in Germany for 100 years, were the skier. They found thither in downtown Hamburg ideal training slopes.

A new era has begun for the poorest of the poor of Brazil; the era of ownership. Cooperation for the common benefit - Minga, the term used in the Inca Empire, was brought to new life in Brazil. The biggest problem of the emergency area: the forest spreading more and more. Now he is being cleared. Arable land arises from a swampy tree desert. The initiative, experts and material support of the agricultural cooperative come from Germany - as well as the medical assistance.
Land reform without constraint, this can be a solution for the 83 million people, To find the connection to the 20th century. In Pindorama, for example, cassava plants are processed together. The starchy tuber is one of the staple.
Supply and demand growing on the market of Pindorama. Minga was a chance to break its size not the fifth largest country in the world.

The floating luxury hotel was its 4-day test drive to the full satisfaction of the owner and the shareholders, because the 90 million ship was funded in large part by the 100,000 mark-denominated bonds of the shipping company.
