Hans Url used an electric saw to detach his left foot hours before
unemployment officials were to determine whether he was physically fit for
work, Austrian broadcaster ORF reported.
He had just learned that his benefits could be taken away if he did not
accept the job that was found for him, according to the Daily Mail.
After sawing off his foot above the ankle, he reportedly put it in a wood
stove so doctors could not reattach it to his leg. With the risk of death from
bleeding, he called an ambulance and was airlifted to the hospital.
Url may still qualify for work despite the
loss of his foot, the Daily Mail reported.

These
indexes include the Ultimate Stock-Pickers, Ultimate Stock-Pickers Target
Volatility 7 and Ultimate Stock-Pickers Target Volatility 10. BNP Paribas
licensed these indexes to serve as benchmarks for three new structured bank
notes expected to launch April 2.
In
April 2009, Morningstar equity analysts began to research the quarterly
holdings, purchases and sales of 26 top investment managers, or what
Morningstar calls the “Ultimate Stock-Pickers.” The Morningstar
Ultimate Stock-Pickers Index combines the picks of these top managers with
Morningstar’s independent equity research.
The
Morningstar Index team first compiles a list of fund holdings from the managers
selected by Morningstar’s research team and then pares the list down by
excluding securities that Morningstar equity analysts believe are overvalued or
inherently difficult to predict. Next, the index team examines how many of the
well-regarded managers hold the security, how much of it they hold, and whether
managers have been adding to the position to determine a fund manager
conviction score. Securities with the highest manager conviction scores
comprise the Morningstar Ultimate Stock-Pickers Index.
The
Morningstar Ultimate Stock-Pickers Target Volatility 7 and 10 Indexes are
similar in construction to the Ultimate Stock-Pickers Index, but seek to
control volatility by moving assets in and out of cash positions to maintain
standard deviations of seven and 10, respectively. Morningstar reconstitutes
the indexes monthly.
