BUT:He still has 2 attempts remaining.

One detail made with the Greek protesters who went by the thousands against European austerity measures on the streets, but for a big surprise: Angela Merkel signs - at least on this occasion - not a Hitler mustache or an SS uniform. The recently dismissed from the civil service protester Giorgios Dopoulodopoulos (47) is confused about. Compared with a postilion reporter, he said: "I have just seen on television, such as Angela Merkel has been received by our President instead of a Nazi uniform, with which it is usually seen in the media or here on my poster, she actually wore a very. normal blazers.

Labour Minister von der Leyen leads "retirement twelve years before the death of"

Berlin (dpo) - Retirement at 65, retirement at 67, retirement at the 70th To the eternal bickering to retire once and for all, Ursula von der Leyen has now ventured a new drive and the so-called "retirement twelve years before the death" was presented. The approach provides for employees, regardless of their age continue to have exactly twelve years before her death entitled to a pension.

Because only in this way could the different biographies of workers should be considered.

 

Will soon have a particularly long work hard, people who are old

At a press conference led by the Leyen their plans precisely: "A savings bank official who only dies at 97 would have to continue to work to 85, while about a bricklayer who comes with 44 in a motorcycle accident go, already with 32 to retirement could -. at full power is the only way justice will be made full pension ".

Trade unions and employers responded disappointed in the design of the Labour Department. The former demand that the pension should be already paid 14 years before his death, while second consists want to enforce because of demographic changes, the pension only ten years before death.

Von der Leyen was even immediately after the press conference back from her office. Because of an incurable cancer, where they will die in twelve years, she would now only once enjoy a well deserved retirement with her family.

====================================

ADDED: I really liked the item about how researchers crafted a new high-speed clock that took only 37 minutes to make an hour. The second hand was removed to save weight and special aerodynamic hour and minute hands were created for the test. The previous record of a 40-minute hour was shattered.
