1st it looks, when a bank employee and a student in Northern Germany as Smaurai dress up and hit each other in the dress of this Japan's legendary warrior caste. Kendo means these sports and mind exercise, which is undergoing a small, but All the time growing gaggle of German citizens.
Absolute concentration, inner collection before the liberating impact: Therein lies an intellectual breeding that takes out Kendo on the mere martial arts. Perhaps now is the fascination that practice Kendo and other martial arts such as judo and karate on the often stressed, nervous people of Western industrial society.
Also in the battle cries, inner tension dissolves. The Kendo fighter honor the winner of every major competition for traditional ritual with a merry battle.
02. political news in German television. The viewer can choose between several regional en and two national programs. Since many German citizens mostly get their political information from the TV screen, especially, the two competing major news broadcasts "Today" and "Tagesschau" have a high audience rating, up to 60%.
The great importance which attach to the mass media of television people and politicians, has impacted in some way also on content and form of the newscasts. A loose news show, with personal opinion colored, not seen in Germany. Opinion and news are strictly separated. Programmes such as the news must report objectively, accurately and independently from home and abroad. They require by law verarkerte program principles.
The program for the individual items is set to the daily editorial Conference. The main show is exactly fifteen minutes. To squeeze the whole wide events, in this narrow context, this means constant discussion and sometimes even armed to the newsworthiness of messages and events.
The Editorial Board decides through its selection, whether an event is a message. The daily programme of Eurovision, the merger of European broadcasters helps in obtaining footage. Also message movies can be transferred via satellite, at any time from all over the world. A lot space is given the world news, far more than in the television programs of other countries.
After the electronic editing, the editor reads his film text against the image.
Television news editors are involved in its work only on the principles of the program. There is not a censorship or other State influence. The principle of checks and balances exercised by the editorial staff is even more important, so that any incorrect or one-sided message accidentally comes across the screen. This has entered the reputation of a certain sterility to the big television news broadcasts, but On the other hand the vast majority of German television viewers the conviction brought to, that she conscientiously and objectively informed.
03. the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Every Sunday lunchtime he revived the legend of the man who liberated the city around 600 years ago by their rat infestation. With his flute, he lured the rodents in the nearby river, where they were all drowned. The citizens then challenged on his reward him, he returned and avenged himself. This time 130 children followed the magic tones of his flute. They were never seen again.
Truth and poetry may mix in the legend of the Pied Piper: the citizens of HAMELN hang because, partly, because this creepy Mack provided the material for one of the most famous German fairy tale. The idyllic half-timbered town in the heart of Lower Saxony the cordiality as living communities that preserved only by its past, what benefits its citizens. The Pied Piper legend as a delicacy. Why not, if the tourists after charging.
Trade, Commerce and agriculture are the traditional industries in HAMELN. The book binder takes as his coming out as others who perform a traditional craft.
What is done by hand, has still its own value. A whole world separates the Hamelner from the throw-away society of the city with their concrete cultural plastics.
This also applies to the living room and living space. Elsewhere extinct profession as plasterer, stonemason, Hoizschnitzer did here. Work is enough, since the old town on a large scale is currently being restored. All citizens should participate in the planning and design immediately. Modern living comfort behind refreshed old façades: it costs A lot of money and goes beyond the power of the small town. Government grants help that the finanziel load for city, homeowners and tenants will remain bearable.
04. since once again coal more used as energy sources, pollution has become greater. While withhold the dust filter in the coal-fired power plants, but the exhaust gases escape unrefined in the air.
In the Saarland, a power plant, which marked a breakthrough in terms of environmental protection works for almost two years. Externally, it differs very little from other coal-fired plants. The fuel reaches the usual way to fire boilers.
Although modern, but conventional technology show also boilers and turbines. But on a large scale. The power plant provides seven hundred megawatts and can provide power to one million households. About the boilers the revolutionary new becomes visible: a flue gas desulphurisation plant, which throws out the most toxic part of the emissions, the sulphur dioxide, and processed into plaster for the construction of the House.
Twenty-five percent of the flue gases pass through this system. Systems are designed for the large coal-fired power plants in the Ruhr area now, filter out 75% of the sulphur dioxide. Already this Saarländer model is worthwhile: 12,000 tons of crude gypsum annually produced - mineral extraction and environmental protection in a single operation.
05. neighbourhood, compassionate service: Of which little seems remained in Western performance and consumer society. Especially old, vulnerable people are affected by the change of the family and residential structure. The social station is an attempt to re-enable fraternal care of society for their old fellow. It is a place for those people in the vicinity. It is supported by the free welfare ver gangs nurses, social workers and volunteer support staff form a team, where everyone takes over certain tasks.
Older people are grateful when the nurse in the House. Otherwise, they would have most of the time in the hospital.
Also domestic help organized the social station. Often, housewives or students this work take over. Spared the needy fellow citizens so the permit in a nursing home. You can stay in their familiar home, in familiar surroundings.
It is often not even pressing emergency, which calls for help. Little guidelines, a friendly conversation help lonely old people to keep their courage.
Ten years ago, the first social station in the Federal Republic was founded. Around a thousand are today: a proof of the fact that there are still people, providing higher than making the service closest to.
06. the father: a publishing Director. Her brothers: also hochtalentiert and before the start of a great career. Her private lessons is the mother as Anne-Sophie has never attended a public school. With six years, she was exempted from compulsory education. Because had she played violin a year and already the national competition "Jugend musiziert" won. Today they are seventeen years and a world star is: Anne-Sophie Mutter from the small village of Wehr in Baden-Württemberg.
The world-famous conductor Herbert von Karajan is her sponsor. He calls it the largest early talent for Yehudi Menuhin. Meanwhile, Anne-Sophie has performed with nearly all major orchestras, and makes so much money, that she must be unable to borrow more for buying their violins. The music criticism certifies you almost faultless virtuosity and already the maturity of great performers. When we visited them in military service, she served as just the Violin Concerto in d major by Beethoven, for a concert under Herbert von Karajan at the Salzburg Festspielhaus fourteen days later.
