place in medicine after the baccalaureate? Procurement procedures unconstitutional

Partially unconstitutional:

The procedure for awarding university and college places in the field of "human medicine is partially unconstitutional! The fundamental right to the state study offer, which all applicants enjoy equally, is violated, the federal constitutional court ruled on tuesday in karlsruhe, baden.

In principle, however, the allocation of places according to the best school-leaving grades, after a waiting period and after selection by the universities, is compatible with the basic law. The federal constitutional court gives the legislature until the end of 2019 to remedy the deficiency. (az. 1 bvl 3/14 and 4/14).

Off to the cellar!

admin

When the first warm rays of sunshine lure hikers back into nature at the beginning of may, the season begins for another popular french sport: going "to the cellar".

"To the cellar"? Yes, you have read correctly, not "into the cellar". Back then, when there was no cow barrier, the beer – especially in the summer months – had to be stored in a cool place to improve its shelf life. The logical place to do this was in the basement. Since the cellars under the breweries in the city offered only limited storage capacity, people moved out into the suburbs. There, tunnels were driven into the hill with the entrance on the northern side, facing away from the sun. Trees were often planted above the cellars to further cool them down.

Million euro aid fund for gdr home children

million euro aid fund for gdr home children

The federal government and the eastern german states are organizing the 1. July launches 40 million euro fund to pay for therapeutic treatment, counseling, and pension replacement benefits. A monthly cash payment is not planned for the time being, said the parliamentary secretary of state in the federal family ministry, hermann kues (CDU), in berlin on monday.

The reappraisal of GDR home education has shown that violence and coercion were part of everyday life for many infants, children and adolescents. For this suffering, the former home children could never be compensated. "The missed opportunities in life cannot be undone materially."The fund, which is set up for five years, should rather be seen as a request for apology, emphasized mecklenburg-vorpommern’s social minister manuela schwesig (SPD).

France switzerland: fiber optic lines for fast internet belong to the city

france switzerland: fiber optic lines for fast internet belong to the city

It was the first project of its kind in germany and new territory for the town of pottenstein and deutsche telekom: the "pottenstein burger network" for the broadband expansion of fast internet to every house in the 33 pottenstein villages. In the main town of pottenstein, or more precisely in the lower town, mayor stefan fruhbeiber (CWU/UWV) and his deputy roland lang (BU), together with representatives of the construction company and telekom, gave the go-ahead for the start of operations. As of now, the lower town and the suburb of puttlach are bookable with fast internet. The special thing about the burger network is that the city, and not the network operator, acts as the developer, who then also owns the fiber optic lines. After a call for tenders to find an operator, telekom made the best offer. The telecommunications company is now leasing the city’s lines for an initial period of twelve years. Total costs amount to around 11.5 million euros. Originally, the cost was expected to be around ten million euros. The main reason for the increase in costs is "the fact that pottenstein is stinking rich", says fruhbeiber – in the truest sense of the word: because some excavation work in the rocky subsoil required more time and therefore also led to more costs.

Unique demand

However, there is a unique requirement. Thanks to the federal broadband expansion program, pottenstein will receive 50 percent of the total costs as a subsidy. The so-called "farm program the free state of bavaria originally envisaged an additional lump-sum payment of 890.000 euros before. But fruhbeiber was able to negotiate cleverly. The state quadrupled its original demand, which is why the city itself now only has to raise around 2.2 million euros from its own funds. This corresponds to a subsidy rate of about 80 percent of the total costs. Negotiations on a higher demand took place at the ministry of home affairs in nurnberg. "I had almost taken up my second residence in nurnberg", smiles fruhbeiber. The investment will have paid for itself in around 40 years through the leasing of the pipeline network.
