to confound with the wrong „lucky clover“ (Oxalis
quatrifolium) - is increased too is unknown.

Work ethic
Medal
For the heroes of the work of the last days.
A neglected danger.
The days of pioneers are over, when highly moti-

technological progress was a dogma.
Today euphoria is over and nuclear industry offers
no longer promising jobs to highly qualified people
but daily routine in outdated, unprofitable plants.
And how will payment and recognition look like
for the specialists, who will clean up after closing
down? When there is no more money and fame to
earn? But when work ethic and honesty are more
necessary than ever.

town. Since then Catania protects itself successfully
from seismic disasters by the adoration of Agatha.
Also Switzerland is a high risk area for earthquake
and seismic impacts menace not only the nuclear
plants of today but also the future final storage site.
Put the veil of Agatha to the fence.
