Ten Percent of German Workers are "Addicted" to WorkA study finds that one in 10 people in Germany are 'addicted' to work. The study, conducted by the Hans Böckler Foundation, is examining workaholic behavior across all sectors in Germany and it has found that compulsive working is becoming ever present across all sectors.The study examined 8,000 people employed in Germany. The study found 9.8% of people exhibited addictive and "compulsive" behavior in their work. Another 33% worked "excessively" but not addictively. The good news is, the majority of workers (54.9%) viewed their jobs with a more "relaxed" approach. The study also found that women were slightly more likely to be workaholics than men — 10.8% of women fell into the addicted category, compared to 9% of men.Image: Victoria Heath/Unsplash#workaholic #addiction #work #Germany

Hear the Oldest Instrument in the World, a Flute Made From Vulture Bone From 35,000 to 40,000 BCEIn the summer of 2008, archaeologists discovered an unusual bone in the Hohle Fels cave in the Ach Valley, Germany. The bone was carved into a flute, and was evidence for Paleolithic music. In fact, it was the oldest known prehistoric musical instrument.The bone flute was found in twelve pieces, but despite the fragmented state it was found in, experts claim that it is by far the most complete of all the musical instruments found from the caves of Swabia, Germany. The bone flute was carved from the bone of a griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), has a length of 21.8 cm and a diameter of 8 mm. In addition, the instrument has five finger holes. In terms of design and structure, the windpipe has two deep, V-shaped notches to form the end where the musician blew to produce music.Listen to how this prehistoric sounds on the video below! image credit: H.
