This policy: Gierek in Bonn Poland's party leader in Germany. The military ceremony at the Hamburg Airport Edward Gierek embraced moments perhaps where the shadows of the past that guest and host summoned several times in the following days by itself rose up with a closed face.
55,000 people in the Neuengamme concentration camp on the outskirts of Hamburg's have died, including 8,000 Poland." We are all very deeply"Gierek said before the Memorial. His brothers and sisters were like millions of Poland in the concentration camp.
But Giereks visit to Germany was facing not the past but the future. In conversation with Willy Brandt, who had negotiated the Warsaw agreements, he addressed the look forward. There are fewer and fewer Poland, said he, who remember the suffering of the war, and fewer and fewer Germans, who meets a fault. Reconciliation with all "Germans" and not just a particular political grouping: this is Poland's request, Gierek assured the Kohl of Chairman of CDU and thanked him for the support of the german Polish treaties. A change of Government in Bonn after the Bundestag election in October would not change the attitude of the Union to Poland, said the Chancellor candidate. His party must confess to the common burden of history and to the contracts.
With Chancellor Schmidt, Gierek discussed what to be done for a better future. Numerous treaties and declarations of intent were a hopeful conclusion under the five-day visit to Germany Edward Giereks. More contacts and exchanges in culture, sports, science and technology - to the final Protocol.
Again the sober daily life follows, both partners know the festive State visit. In the shaft Rhine Prussia, the largest and most modern in Western Europe the skilled miner Gierek examined the technological standard of the German coal miner Gierek the technological standard of the German coal mining industry. Technical know-how and credits will need to offer the Federal Republic the Poland, Polish-german economic relations in the long term to ensure the necessary solid base. The pad drive on the Rhine was made a spectacular start: with a 2 billion pledge the Federal Government a major project of coal chemistry protects, that German companies in Poland will build.

This technology: Rails in the test track will him the world mean - the new rail examining train of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. His task: Ongoing monitoring of the entire rail network. A screening with ultrasound. An employee of the Deutsche Bundesbahn: "this train which regularly once or twice a year, operates along all major routes of the network of the Deutsche Bundesbahn, was developed in the laboratories of the federal railways Research Institute in Minden, and he seems to refer to today as unique in the world."
He is unique because he has a quite an amazing test accuracy even at relatively high speed of 50 km per hour. This modern laboratory on rail replaces the old, technically outdated test train, who inspected for 20 years not only the German railway network on material defects. Many foreign railway administrations requested the German test train. Every millimeter of the rail network is measured and registered. The day stint: 200 to 250 kilometers. It is measured with ultrasound. 12 probes under the middle measuring send ultrasound pulses from different angles into the Rails - 5000 pulses per second. The signal are reflected by the edges of the rail and caught as an echo of the measuring device. Meets a pulse echo time on a damaged section of the rail then shortened: the material error is found, and he was only millimeters in size.
The measurement results are electronically converted and recorded with a dual camera on film. This film strip - the routes document - is evaluated by specially trained employees of the federal railways Research Institute.
Not only the measuring technique is at the highest level, also for the train crew, who lives year-round on the axis, the technical progress of this train brought more comfort. 8 single cabins, shower and bathrooms, a kitchen and accommodation and rooms to compensate a little for the rolling nomadic lives of "ultrasonic crew" in the service of the security.

In car: in case of an accident an accident escape can be expensive, not only, because the contractor must stop them. This could be pretty painful: because who wanted to exclude, that he in the hands of a box or karate master could fall.
Who commits accident escape - i.e. who, committed to scene of the accident without the necessary information to have - who face a sentence and loses also the insurance protection. 1. bid after an accident: place the warning triangle at a safe distance behind the vehicle, so that the following users be warned. Then it exchanges data of drivers and vehicles. Getting the insurance card of the third party claim, shouldn't rely on oral testimony alone. Accident witness can be decisive in court. First, name and address are important. You can find later what the witness will testify. Witnesses can be particularly useful if the accident adversaries first agree on the question of guilt, later but before the judge. Then it is to gather more evidence - marking of vehicle locations and the skid marks with a piece of chalk or other tools. Forensics is to hold the mute witnesses of the accident operation, E.g. in an accident sketch.
A photo is better than a sketch. Therefore one at hand should be always a simple camera in the glove compartment have.
The participants over the course of the accident are in agreement, the police from the game can stay. When people get hurt, the police should be called in every case. Caution is out of place, if you have to take the help of a towing company claim. A phone call to the local Guild of motor vehicle companies or the ADAC prevent that one involved an accident. Everyone should therefore know what he has to do in the event of an accident and how he comes to his right. This sport: Fight for balloon trophy the risk of accidents in the air is incomparably low - if you can trust the balloon pilots. Everywhere in Western Europe, the gas-filled cloth container on the rise sails, it enticed more and more jet-weary contemporaries to the nostalgia trip into the air. Over the Dutch city of Arnhem many balloon pilots met in these days, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Hague balloon Club on their way: with a trip on the Rhine River in the neighboring Germany.
The card helps to orient themselves. You not can control the balloon anyway. Basket and gondola in the air keep 650 cubic metres of gas. Want to join the balloonists, pour sand out of the ballast bags, they want to fall, let it escape some gas. Newcomers to be baptized according to an old custom with champagne and sand.
The Aeronauts on a field near Düsseldorf go down after 3 hours. Friendly welcome balloonists are used since they once again discovered this first form of human aviation for an enthusiastic audience.
