"SchweiÃfuà Man" returns to the university.

Years ago, uses two Dutch universities him into the fresh air, because it is an olfactory weapon always carried with him: his feet sweat. Now may Teunis T. studying philosophy again. Odors do not justify a ban on campus, judges decided.

 


The dispute was a precursor to escalation olfactory system, which is about to be expired: The Rotterdam philosophy student Teunis T. grazed in the reading of textbooks in the library of Erasmus University likes shoes. Also in other public places, he wanted his feet in leather and braid caught hold, for example in the Technical University of Delft - much to the chagrin of his fellow students and lecturers.

Feet of a runner: it does not stink, it's burning in the eyes


This is because the sweat on the feet of Teunis T. worked very diligently. Quick, he was notorious as the "Schweißfuß-man," as the newspaper "De Telegraaf" reported. Already more than ten years ago gave him the Rotterdam University campus ban because of "odors".

Even in the university library of Delft, where he spent four years later aired his feet, we wanted the stringent odor not accept a house and said ban.


Bias claims and judges probeschnüffelnde


The then 39-year-old ignored das Schweißfüßler And was then due
Accused of trespassing. Even before the court remained consistently Fellow Käsefuß: He took the shoes off, the judge responded verschnupft. It followed claims bias and judicial smell test - a different judge would probeschnüffeln whether the feet of Teunis T. so really stink.

Now, a court ruled in Rotterdam finally: Even very strong smelling sweat feet are not a sufficient reason for their owners to study at a Dutch university to refuse. The Erasmus University has been committed to the dreaded "Schweißfuß Man" as a philosophy student to accept that.

While students and faculty seem not to be thrilled by his return, could be the case at least for the university library worthwhile. Several books had Teunis T. was borrowed - and never returned, he was not into it: House ban. That he can now do. Whether, however, he accumulated criminal charges since 4200 euros to pay is unclear.

I was always more than superheroes Mädchenkram. And the gargoyles, figures between humans and bats, which are petrified by day and only come alive at night, were the biggest for me. I have the Disney cartoon series ever in my grandmother geguckt.

At the beginning of the series played in medieval Scotland, where the Gargoyles Castle Wyvern and its people against attacks by the Vikings guard. Later, the beings in stone banished, then freed, the substance produces ever new myths, there appear even characters from Shakespeare works.

The series was the trigger: Recently, I have two semesters abroad in Scotland inserted. The Gargoyles I have not been made. But now I have a Scottish friend.

In the fight against evil must Winnetou eventually die, it was for me as a little girl very bad - I was in love with him!

It was a rainy day, Mary Poppins when I first saw on television. Maybe we had Ostwind well as at the beginning of the film, in any case, it was stormy and gray. And she has enchanted me just like the two children, Michael and Jane in her strict parents' house in the drab London.

Mary Poppins is a serious world of adults on the head and sings and dances with her two Lingenfelder Schütz on the roofs of the city. My favorite of course I liked the song "Superkalifragilistisch expialigetisch". After all, I was not as crazy as my sister. This is with her umbrella from the roof of our garage cracked. In doing so, they are fortunately only sprained foot.

This semester, I have a major seminar on children's English and American literature. I think it's totally interesting to me with characters that interest me in my childhood have accompanied scientifically to employ. And frankly, I feel lately also sometimes feel like over the rooftops from Bonn to dance.

Battle of rappenden professors.

The Cologne, Law Professor Klaus Peter Berger raps Clauses 823 students, so that the difficult lesson stick better in the brain. The Leipzig lawyer Tim Drygala is not impressed and countered, of course, also in Reimform - so goes expert Dissen.

 


Is not it wonderful if accomplished middle-aged lawyers rhymes clip round the ear? The Cologne lawyer Klaus Peter Berger has beautifully presented. And now sets his colleague Tim Leipzig Drygala after.

With its Lycrics to Section 823 of the Civil Code (BGB) wants Berger, 47, his students beibiegen how it deals with the compensation behaves exactly. The dry cloth he versified aufgemotzt. And so in Germany
fairly new genre of "Rapucation" (from rap and Education) is enriched.

A music student has provided the Bergers' 823-rap ", then emerged at the Cologne University, there is also a music video, which was presented on Wednesday - as multimedial Juristerei is rare. The text for Mitrappen:

Listen: The rappende Professor

 

823 is an easy section, I know all the conditions already in sleep

Property, health, an absolute right who is injured, which is really bad

The rule affects many more sports, travel, hunting and road

Is protected even the business in any case, what is left of him

And the famous backup duty to take even those who have nothing else challenge

For the allocation context, it then switched to the protection of

Illegality, negligence and injury, the damage to himself

Even the victim is off if he can demonstrate negligence

Even that is not all gone there are still the Protection Act in paragraph two

Missing, however, it comes at the causality 823 anyway much too late!

The Berger Chen Rhymes, however, not quite meet the taste of his colleague Tim Drygala, 45 He is at Leipzig University professor of civil law, commercial, corporate and business law. Cologne Drygala found this quite amusing experiment. Only he is not strictly scientific d'accord, and sent online blogs about the following lines:

"The rap by Mr Berger is a very bad content. Form over function. I have to complain as follows:

Yo, Yo, a lawyer.

Give the mic to the MC Berger, a law professor Cologne raps students a clause to enable more difficult lessons liable. The idea brought Klaus Peter Berger from the U.S.. Students shall designate the "Rapetitorium" nimble - and even produced a video.

 


Law does not apply just as the most entertaining of study, rather than extremely dusty terrain. We may be different, said a Cologne legal scholars and packaged a clause in a Raptext. "823 is a lightweight paragraph, I know all the conditions already in your sleep," writes Klaus Peter Berger, 47, in the lecture hall on the compensation. And it further nine short stanzas follow.

Law Professor Klaus Peter Berger: friend of Reims


A law professor, for his students raps? The idea stems from Berger's study time in New York. Since he came random times in a seminar room over, in which a professor's lecture by videoconference in Rapform held.

"It is important to me the message," says Berger: sing instead swot. He wants the students in the event of learning for lawyers "to teach how to learn creative Clauses. Finally, one of the Jura büffelintensivsten subjects, few students come without expensive Repetitorien by the tests - repeat Pauk courses, almost all exam candidates show.


Rapetitorium instead Repetitorium


The idea that tough lessons by unusual learning longer stick, is not new. Some private providers Latin courses for example, the vocabulary and grammar timpani on a combination of music, dance and classical lessons - so they want to activate different brain areas and the memory to spur new services.

With the enormous material wealth of legal studies seems reasonable. The "time" Berger said that he was neither Gansta rapper, even if he wanted to be singing by Prof Gazette mind - but one example of creative methods give. His students should be "the left hemisphere use. Creatively learn associatively with emotion and music." On his faculty, he founded a center in which students practice new ways of learning, rhetoric courses and their negotiating skills can practice.

To hiphoppers Berger was, in Cologne civil and banking law teaches, on the second chance, his students are excited by the idea. The music student Niklas Remmer shall designate the 823-rap "and quickly made it a pretty soundfile (see the second part). And on Wednesday it was still a rap video premiered.

In the U.S., pop music and the academic world has long friendship: Even rap some professors in their lectures to the students to facilitate the memorization. From the state of Georgia in Athens, home of the band REM, comes with "Mikey Mel and the JD's" the "nation's first law of the USA Rock Band."


Soon Section 929 is due


Rap as a teaching experiment, which exists not only at the university: In Berlin, the duo raps
"Rapucation" (for rap and Education) before primary school pupils, for example on climate change and European history. "You breathe, and what you breathe in, breathe out the trees. You breathe out, and what you breathe out, breathe in the trees," write Robin Haefs aka Mad Maks and Vincent Stone aka Beatzarre on the metabolism. Their songs are carefully produced and can be heard. Another way of
Rapper Double-U, of the classics of Goethe and Schiller to hip-hop beats, rhymes - "Old School" on his own art

The video of the Cologne law professor, the university employee Daniel Behrends and Peter Butterly together with her students produced. However, only the participants of Bergers lecture "right thing" the pleasure of the premiere live.

What to say to a colleague so unconventional teaching method? "They share my concerns, new ways of learning to teach," says Berger. The 823-rap "is still his only. But that should not remain so: he could imagine soon once the clause 929 of the Civil Code (BGB) in verse form umzutexten. As is about property law, which fits to his lecture series.

As student residential blocks in jewelry transform.

If the "Baupiloten" move, approaching a house special kind of ugly and nasty schools functional buildings Motzen Berlin students to bunt. Their trick: The young architects can be distinguished from the people inside talking - and sometimes live to the rehearsal.

 


Rancid balcony covers, a corrugated asbestos sheets clad facade - the functional high-rise from the sixties does not just like a student dormitory of the future. Anxiety even in the interior: Gray rigid doors in the hallway lit with neon tubes. At the end of the barren gangs, the community bathroom for ten people, men and women mixed.

Student flats in the capital to compete, because a very special house is on. "We want to make a quantum leap from the fifties into the 21st century," says Juergen Morgenstern student. It should be the "Baupiloten". The group Berlin architecture student has a specialty of the architectural Aufmotzen to friendly habitats.


The students Donat Kirschner and Johanna teachers and their professor Susanne Hofmann speak at length with the residents. Instead months fictitious buildings that will never be built, designing them for the reality? and accompany the implementation of the first call up to the last screw.


Campaign against gray walls


Nevertheless, the work of Baupiloten with the everyday life of a normal architecture firms have little to do. Because the future users decide for themselves what the rooms - the students to exchange views with architectural laity so that instead of just seemingly omniscient from top to plan. As an "architecture from the inside out" Professor Susanne Hofmann describes its approach, "at the beginning, the human being and his sense of living."

In an interactive simulation game were able to perfect their residents living environment zusammenpuzzeln. They wanted more sports facilities, more community facilities for all and even more positive feelings in their homes.

The Baupiloten have all this in a draft translated: By 2010, the atmosphere of the prison dormitory with a "common house for sports enthusiasts and workaholics", including herb and sauna facilities. The drab facade along should be a transparent, glittering in the sunlight "Wasserberg" bulge, in which students can climb. And the room on the eleventh floor could be sliding, depending on the mood of residents to Community and party rooms will be.


Childhood dream worlds


"If we are the fantasies of the user record, they identify more strongly with the place," says architect Hofmann. That applies even to places for social problems, which does not usually benefit from innovative architecture.

The Baupiloten already have some other architectural from the fifties redesigned. Even many schools and kindergartens were over half a century - and flat-panel buildings with little room for retreat to individuals and small groups. The Baupiloten repeatedly showed that by changing and fixtures from drab rooms suitable for children dream worlds develop.

So was the Berlin Kindertagesstätte "Taka-Tuka-land" from the barren panel to the home of the "lemonade tree." They got through asymmetrical fixtures and a seat caves Cursed character, as well as the Kita "dream tree". The flagship project is the Baupiloten Erika Mann School in Berlin's Wedding Problemkiez - with relatively few resources has been a long, desolate corridors a colorful fantasy world.

In Baupilotensprech the school now called "home of the silver dragon." Previously supported the 1915-built school, an educational Wilhelminian of intimidation. Today there is "Hauchsanftsein". Sun called the children of the pink and pink painted hallways, where the ceiling fluttering gauze strips from a feeling duftiges spread.

The Hack-order of the Nerds.

How does a toilet, cow or cell phone to the Uni-roof? The secret known only to the students of Boston. They commit to their elite university regularly pranks of the most absurd kind - and create it by special cleverness almost always to remain undetected.

 


What has a toilet on a roof to look for? Who in early October 2008, the Vassar Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, entlangschlenderte, could admire, including Klopapierhalter and a replacement part. The house with a fully functioning Freiluftklo stands on the grounds of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

MIT students: Nothing in the head as Flausen

The action is just one of many pranks, the students of MIT each year permit. The toilet installation was a reminiscence of a consequence of the TV series "Scrubs" in which people with a toilet on a roof and then use the solution to their problems.

The MIT is in Cambridge, right on the Charles River, on the other side of the river you can see the skyline of Boston. On the large campus study does not average people: 16 Nobel laureates, the university has produced, only Harvard and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) can refer more award winners.

To get from studying hard to recover, have the MIT students to the tradition, pranks. 15-20 are each year. They call it "hacking", but with computer viruses and cracking it has nothing to do (that is, at MIT "cracking").

Students have telephone handset radio receiver rebuilt so that music sounded as soon as one of the listeners took the fork. Others have an emergency for zombie attacks in the lobby of the Neurosciences placed so inconspicuously that it looked as they belong to the inventory. All have one thing in common pranks: they make about their own activities, the engineering and the academic life funny. But you never know who this man owes to jokes.


"A little bit of steam"


"Sometimes someone claimed that he had joined in a hack, but there is no way the whole thing to check," says Daniel Kamalic, a former student of MIT, the Internet hacks collection IHTFP (Interesting Hacks To Fascinate People) looks. "The speculation about the perpetrators of a string contributes to the formation of legend."


Brian Leibowitz, the legends on their veracity examined. Even he himself was once a student at MIT and has written a book about hacking written. Leibowitz searched photos, newspaper articles and even myself to hackers. "Most people do hacks to drain a little steam," he says. "Hacks are a creative way, from the Uni-stress and relax a little distance to win."

The story of the hacking begins at the end of the 19th Century with a rather harmless fun: You trickling in small quantities Stickstoffiodid, the explosive is easy on the floor of the chemistry room. Arranged the furniture in the new public areas. Steals the flags of the other vintages.

But on a spring day in 1928, the grotesque joke. The local newspaper "Boston Herald reported:" Police found cow on the roof of a five-MIT-student dormitory. " A group called "Dorm Goblin (Wohnheim Kobold) is committed to the string. Who is behind it, remains secret.

"Today is such a thing would not do more, because the hackers have their own code of conduct imposed, including, inter alia, nothing and no damage or danger," says Leibowitz. The thrill is not caught and anonymity to become a legend.

One year after the cow string students create a car in the cellar of a dormitory, because they find the car had been parked improperly. It takes 16 workers and a tractor, to put it out there again.


Entertainment dancer becomes professor


Not all the hacks have a technical background. Some emerge from the old rivalry to Harvard University, which only a few hundred meters up the road has its campus. In the forties, you go through this, people umzulotsen, there will occur at events. In May 1941, there is a MIT student as emissary from Harvard and fetches Sally Rand, a singer and dancer from. It aims at the Freshman Welcome Ceremony at Harvard occur. Instead, they will again at MIT, where her the title of Associate Professor for entertainment and engineering "to be given - before they will still bring to Harvard. "The performance of hacks were very popular until the sixties into it," says Leibowitz.


Thereafter, the pranks technically sophisticated. In the eighties ship a phone hacking cell functioning interior light on the great dome. When the campus police building discovered the rings apparatus.

"Since the turn of the Millennium refers to himself in his movies hacks like to," says Leibowitz. Over night there is suddenly a Jurrassic Park Research Building. About another house appears the characters from "Harry Potter". The great dome gets in a few colorful scarves the face of the robot R2D2 of "Star Wars".

Hackers often try the impossible, and in order to achieve this, one needs a lot of expertise and skill. One must note details and everything from the beginning exactly to plan.

It is a little as if you have a small engineering project coordination. With the additional difficulty that the cheap hacks in the production must be fast to install and easy to remove.


The thing with the XXL nipple did not


"The police car of the campus police, in 1994 at the Dome, was not a car," says Kamalic. "It was only the body of a wagon, but the individual parts were mounted on a wooden frame." There are certainly 15 to 20 people needed to organize these spreads, he estimates - we need the parts so paint on the roof and then assemble there.

The hackers observed particularly on details: They made a life-sized puppet police a pack of donuts in the womb. On the bumper of the car emblazoned a sticker: "I brake for donuts." This hack was a sideswipe at the campus police, who had thwarted a few tricks - for example, those 1978, when a group tried a large nipple on cardboard on the dome of the library to place.

The university administration is ambivalent towards the hacks. Have fun on the hacks and is pleased that her students learned knowledge in their spare time to apply. On the other hand, we are concerned about safety on campus and discussed liability issues. "If someone is caught, then the Uni-regulated internally," says Kamalic. The students usually have to pay a fine or a few hours without pay.

Presumably, they will curse you and say: IHTFP - "I Hate This Fucking Place".

"All a Riesenwundertüte."

Markus Kavka is MTV presenter and well twice as old as its target audience. As a grandfather of music television, he still does not and would not like to even 20 years younger - an interview about growing up.

 

blogs: Mr. Kavka, you are now 41 years old and still moderate at music channel MTV, whose target audience, on average, half as old as you. What's wrong?

Kavka: (laughs) nothing wrong, I'm just still so young! I never had the momentum on my job to make a change. It is not true that I am the program itself is no longer watch or the audience and their needs grow'm totally. Still, I feel not as a grandfather of music television.


blogs: In your book you describe yourself as "kidult" which is a mixture of "kid" and "adult". In major German cities are professional young people like you long since become a mass phenomenon. Why refuse to recognize more and more people over 40, their lifestyle was up?


Kavka: First major cities provide the perfect breeding ground for this: The entertainment is great, you can expect a lot, all sorts of jobs and has received no firm commitments. That is different than in the countryside, where they will be settled much earlier. Basically, everything in my generation backwards, because of the training periods, internships, travel - you eiert long way to go, someday will be a habit, and it is increasingly afraid of it, take responsibility.

blogs: Do you feel at all grown up?


Kavka: A little bit of what is missing as yet, although I did not say exactly what that is. Adulthood I connect with an inner calm, but I'm still pushing for anything. On good days, I would simply call curiosity. But on bad days I can about despair, not knowing where I was going.


blogs: Her brother, three years younger than you, is married with a baby and lives in a house near Ingolstadt, near the place where you grew up. Is there something about what it envy?


Kavka: Basically, I envy him for the fixed sizes in his life. So exciting and entertaining is my life, I naturally surrounds a permanent insecurity. I work in an industry where there are hardly any permanent jobs, and also my private environment is quite volatile. For me it is all a Riesenwundertüte. Sometimes I would like to have more predictability in my life wish. This ground is probably only one child. At the baptism of my niece, I thought, gosh, would I be happy.


blogs: Would you be happy again twenty years younger?

Kavka: Nope. I can still well in the time out early twenties. That was fun and exciting, but also quite confusing, as Landei in the city of Nuremberg. I am glad that I have behind me. Now I am in the track, now I know how life works.


blogs: In your book you love from your youth, of mixtapes and painting at the young farmers next door. Sounds like a "Before, everything was better."


Kavka: ewiggestrig So I'm not. I do not belong to the people, the youth of today like passivity, political apathy and a lack of creativity in leisure accused. This is all nonsense. Sure, in the seventies, there was punk, and in the eighties have demonstrated against nuclear power. These youth movements were also very present in public. But this overlooks one would like that in the nineties, the ultimate revolution has happened, namely the invention of the Internet. The kids are all gone online and have practically the whole world upside down. That's why I envy this generation.

Gammelige flavors.

Liverwurst mold, sour milk, rotten tomatoes: Students who live in flats, and a refrigerator shall have an increased risk to the stomach to spoil.

 


This is the result of a study by the Bournemouth University in Britain. The researchers surveyed 299 students, as they usually store their food, and also investigated the refrigerators in 30 flats.


It turned out that 92 percent of the devices were packed. This, the researchers found eating the remains, which were not covered - for example, or open cans of meat. With 16 percent of the surveyed students had refrigerators fruit, vegetables or cheese vergammeln leave.

Eight out of ten of the students surveyed indicated that they place strict divide among themselves, separated by subject. Each has its own area, into which he stuffs everything what belongs to him.

What's here because?.

If young students are still usually little left of their children's bedrooms. Not so with Anna, Lea and Marceli. Yesterday Teddys and manga girl, now Morbides and Marilyn Monroe: ONLINE blogs shows the homes of the 21-year-olds - and their former treasure chambers.

 


New city, new housing - and then beat the parents. The nursery is changing. A guest sofa, a computer room for Mom and Dad, a Rumpelkammer: All the charm and the kitsch of the day-care faded, is packed in crates or purzelt directly into the dustbin.

Robert Andreas Hörnig
We were children: students Anna, Lea and Marceli

Rare are the rooms, to the school's own world of the children were then still like to Teenie times. Sometimes the parents but leave everything as it is, and build a kind of childhood museum - perhaps in the hope that son or daughter will come back more often, "You still have your room here" is such a record of hope and temptation.

For ONLINE blogs have Almut Steinecke writer and photographer Robert Hörnig be around - in the new rooms of three students and preserved in their treasure chambers of earlier days. Gothic fan Anna is now studying art history, the former metal musician Marceli economy. And then there is the princess's room wall Lea painter who studied German literature.

When time stands still - three habitats of the past to the present.

Show me in the eye, Nerd!.

Scientists do not have the best reputation when it comes to bill and coo, empathy and compliments go. Potsdamer students now receive advice on how to use SMS rather subtle type of binary code - and amazed that she participated in the first three hours message texts should be.

 


No, they are incapable or not. No, it is not a women's institute free zone. No, they are not nerds, no freaks, no behavioral and socially disturbed technicians. And yes, the clichés hang them out to your neck.

The computer science student in Potsdam are tired of how they arrive in the public arena - and everything just because of a flirting course, the institute offers it.

Flirt professional Senftleben: Basics for Computer Scientists

A brief announcement, the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) sent; headline: "IT students practice flirting via SMS." And then it went off. The preliminary reports read like pure Häme: From "käsiger face paint" and "red, square eyes" knew the "Hamburger Abendblatt" to report from computer science students, "it badly needed," wrote the Berliner Kurier. "

The crowd is great in any case the elective course flirting, the student as well as the media. Hardly any place is more free, almost 300 students are flocking to the hallogenerleuchteten Hörsaal 1, they sit on the window sills and on the stairs, in between camera crews and reporters.

The course is part of the soft skill of the HPI program. Otherwise there are stress management and learning on the program, in February will be ex-Stasi files Envoy Joachim Gauck 20 years on Wall speak last autumn was Guenther Jauch there.


"We are not tumben nerds!" The also want to Andrina Mascher, 20, and Ziawasch Abedjan, 22, get rid of. Both are students at the HPI, both fixed liiert. Why are they here? "Flirting as part of business communication, I am interested in," says Ziawasch. Andrina coordinated precisely which of their friends sit beside her, and then says smilingly, "What life do I want to learn."


Auftritt Instructor: Philip, a flirtatious


Then comes from Senftleben Phillip, 42, in the auditorium. Germany-wide radio listeners know him as the "Flirter" because he is wildly foreign women coaxed her phone number. He does not look like a Lady Killer: dark clothes, black shirt. The "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" he told me, on an attractiveness scale give it six out of ten points - with beret seven.

The cap he erstmal and asks: "I'm Phillip - and what I want here?" The first Schmunzler with Andrina. Ziawasch leans forward. "A flirtatious" sets off duzt students learned witnesses and leads into the field. "Man is only through human language," he quotes Wilhelm von Humboldt. The second principle Flirters: flirting is easy. He does not think the war of the sexes and the battle, the other to get into bed.

In addition, he quotes Robert McNamara: "Empathize with your enemy." "Who was Robert McNamara?" He asks the audience. "U.S. Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam war", calling a return. Phillip, a flirtatious is enthusiastic: "Are you a historian?" No, the IT student has a TV documentary seen.

Since its twelfth year of life interested in the "Flirter" of success - this is one course of success for women. Shy, he had previously been, today he tingelt through the country, seminars, individual lessons and summarized his tips in book form.


Anyone who betrays the "Flirter 'own phone number?


The students get his verbal Einfühlungsgabe to hear: The "Flirter" Radio plays a contribution. He called called the "subtle" and concludes that it must be but a "subtle spirit" have. His number Girl giggles. "A good sign," said Andrina Mascher dry. And indeed: The "Flirter" gets the number of applause in the hall.

Andrina tuschelt with their girlfriends. Had she Phillip also given their number? "Probably so." Does it slimy? No, he was charming. Of these guys could have quietly cut a slice.

According to the preliminary, the erudite and the introduction of case comes Senftleben now to what all the waiting - flirting via SMS. Situation: Car Crash at the lecture. Students should imagine they want to know the accident opponents. The men should imagine Angelina Jolie and Katja call. The "ladies" in the audience to be a blond, muscular man named Phillip think. And they should formulate an SMS.

But stop, "the Flirter" says a few words: "Take your three, four hours for the first SMS." Because it is not private. Surprise when scientists Ziawasch, nodding at his Kommilitonin Andrina. The first SMS shows them all their friends and maybe even the mother. "I was so unaware," he says.


"The crash will pay me, the dinner you"


Andrina picks out her cell phone and an exercise textet SMS. Ziawasch waiting. A flirtatious calls the first examples from the audience: "Hey, Katja, do I pay for the crash, the food you tonight." Phillip praised the courage of the text, Andrina laughs, shaking his head.

The scientists are proposing is not bad. Next example: "Hey Katja, my car would like your car like to see again." Niedlich said the "Flirter" Andrina also finds it sweet.


The first woman text: "Hey Phillip, even if you're sick or need company, I am a good nurse. LG Josi." Some in the audience hoot and a flirtatious explains: "LG is one prohibited." Then he writes on the blackboard: "This is boring." His tip: an adjective, colon, name - "gespannt: Phillip". Otherwise, the text bold and say: "You have advantages if you hit me."

The "Flirter" comes at a delicate case: the compliment. What is it anyway? "Unehrlich," says one in the audience. "That a man can only say," says a flirtatious and emphasizes two words on the blackboard: honest attention.

Honest, but not boring, that's the Flirter important. The fact that a woman has beautiful eyes, which she had already heard a thousand times, says Senftleben. Better was the beginning: "In your eyes is ..." Andrina Mascher warpage mouth skeptical. "Interesting, is only now that he is slimy." Such a thing would not pull it.


The no-go area of Flirtens


At the end lists Senftleben discouraging examples of: "Where did it hurt when you're dropped from the sky?" Large groaning in the room. Or: "Hey, chocolate, you need not fill?" Some guys whistle. Andrina laughs outraged.

Has she learned anything today? No, not really, but it had been entertaining. "Furthermore, his own things that he has great acts with the audience and for us to win," she says.

Ziawasch Abedjan sees the whole pragmatic. He wants to be a few things for the business life rausziehen. But this has a flirtatious but said nothing? "Some things work well stop because" he believes.

Well, they were entertained, however, and the camera crews have their photos - from scientists to learn how to flirt.

With Lidl tickets chat on the market.

In December, there were at Lidl cheap train tickets, since they are more expensive in the Web market. Even student Markus Paul verhökerte some tickets for his brother continued: Once from villain to Gutmenschen and back - a two-capitalism crash course for beginners.

 


Actually? Had my brother said. That would make me aback to be equal. "Actually, you do not do anything." Ten Lidl train tickets, he had bought for 55 euros per any two trips across Germany. But to get a maximum of yes yes today from Hamburg to Berlin, but not with the ICE.

Train tickets at Lidl: bargains for urgent customer

The small capitalist in my brother, like many others, the ideal platform for resale chosen:
Mitfahrgelegenheit.de, a ride sharing, which also cooperates ONLINE blogs. No excessive fees such as eBay, no shipping. People call to come over, get the ticket from.

Actually? "You make this already," said my brother. He is currently underway, has to sell me on and give his tickets with my mobile phone number advertised. A ride, the great German cities abklappert: Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt. And Freiburg. Freiburg is not large, but beautifully so far, so tickets are very expensive to Freiburg.

At nine clock morning the phone rings for the first time in deep sleep I give my address. Two hours later, I stand on, without knowing how many times whom I have said that he had during the day may come.


What Lidl tickets? "Then do not stop!"


It rings at the door, the same as the first buyer wants to haggle: 77 euros, my brother as the price presented a number of brandy and a schnapps idea, because now I always need money rumlaufen. We agree on 75 because I have already saved the change.

The next caller wants to be on a take tea with me. Great idea, really. Firstly, I must still tourists aufgabeln, through the wrong area and can not find my apartment. The tea drinkers, which I obviously do not drink tea, I give the tickets for 77 euros.

THE TICKET DEALS - WHAT IS ALLOWED?

Tickets at discounters and Bulettenbrater

2005 sold the first train tickets at Lidl, the former Price: 49,90 Euro For any two were driving in Germany. Tchibo in 2006 and 2007 had a similar train tickets available for 58 euros. In the spring of 2006 tickets were even at McDonald? S distributed - 99 euro cost of the voucher for another four nationwide random trips.

The conditions


Most have small ticket restrictions. How do they apply this year for travel on Fridays. Can be used to Lidl tickets can still be up to 31 March. This aims to train new customers for long-distance win. To curb the black market, sold at the end of December Lidl a maximum of five tickets per customer.

It says the train


"The resale of tickets DB Lidl is excluded," wrote Deutsche Bahn on its website to the action (but only in the FAQ, is not under "Conditions"). And also announced that retailers against large-scale legal action. Excluded were the seller, the only one to two tickets for personal reasons wanted to pass, said a spokesman for the company with online blogs.

Already in 2005, where it clashes. The railway would compel eBay, the tickets offered by the platform to remove. This year there will again blithely traded: Over 2000 deals with Lidl tickets are currently on eBay. Most find it for 60 to 70 Euro buyers, not just reach the moon prices.

The conservationists say consumers


Consumers Hamburg estimated the situation differently. She sees no legal basis for the rail allow a resale of tickets to prohibit. As a purchaser of the tickets could be on his property freely, since the tickets were not personal. It also makes no difference whether the sale on an Internet platform or in any other way.

Similarly, the arbitration mobility in Berlin: "Why a resale between individuals should be excluded, is not apparent at first, especially since the tickets just before Christmas have been offered, so the assumption is that an Offer of tickets wanted" she replied to a blog-ONLINE inquiry.

Is it a business?


Theoretically, should the seller of Lidl tickets for their trade on a trade register. According to Income Tax Act (§ 15 para 1) is a business, if a self-sustained activity with the intention of profit making, is done. This also applies to irregular activities, for example, can only be undertaken once a year. For smaller sales remains questionable whether a profit exists - and where the "sustained activity" begins.

The reason to fear the consequences of its own distribution without registration directed especially after the volume of trade and the status of the seller. For example, a student with low income on the sale of ten tickets at worst a warning to fear. The situation is different if the seller already has taxable income.

And the moral of the story '


This year the tickets were in some stores even a few days after beginning to receive action. In this case, the re-seller of Lidl tickets probably the morality on their side, they can argue that they are covered by the resale also people who are the actual sales campaign have missed an inexpensive rail travel permit.

Who the resale of tickets morally condemned, usually argues that a few buyers as quickly as possible, with all tickets under the nail tear. For other interested parties were already after a few hours, no more tickets available at the branches.


In fact, the resale of tickets Lidl market a simple thing: Cheap rail tickets are a scarce resource, the rest regulate supply and demand. That seems to have a great moral and ethical debate to be kindled, especially among students. A young woman wants to meet me at the station. It looks totally nice, but of supply and demand have not heard: When she finds that the tickets at Lidl only have cost 55 euros, she says, this is outrageous, they do not see it, etc.

My brother has the tickets, three days after the sale will start, what can I do that it has the action verpennt? I waive the question of whether they also do not buy in the supermarket, because the product has cost less times. At the end they will give 70 euros. "No, 75 you have already paid," I reply. You stapft them, even grumbled: "Then do not stop!"

Then do not stop. It is likely that they are now an easy drive for 100 euros to buy. I admire them as idealists. And understand this moment, why in our world so often fail.


Mitfahrzentrale as ethics teachers


A buyer is waiting in front of my apartment. I offer you, quite the gentleman, a mint on. Tea, I must still up. It is, sip their tea, a quarter of an hour later, I know everything about their divorced parents, her four cousins and their vacation plans. When I on the Deutsche Bahn rail to begin rising enthusiasts. Common enemies always weld together. As the conversation back to Papa slip, wimmle I wish them good journey with Deutsche Bahn.

Meanwhile, I am seriously thinking, where the morale problem on the resale of tickets is Lidl. Somewhere I read that German schools to introduce ethics - perhaps I leave the matter rest until the next generation of them answered me.

It rings again, an enthusiastic student. "Man, only 77 euros, all the others want to 100th" That I so quickly from villain to Gutmenschen Ascended am irritated me. Geht doch.

When I check my emails later, I find a message from mitfahrgelegenheit.de - because the platform
only thought was a lift, but with such sales will be flooded, they would need to remove our offer. They have but with so-nice words explained that I liked the staff as a teacher ethics would suggest. I will send my brother's e-mail. He extended the same offer to a big city and load it again. Tragically back with my cell phone number.


Late in the evening the phone rings again: "I saw you give away a van, is yet to have?" Van Which is this supposed to be? The answer is simple: An idealist, the resale of tickets reprehensible Lidl will have my mobile phone number with a Van advertised - for free of course. "No, already gone," I am astounded.


Van to give away: Am I as Santa Claus?


Henceforth the phone is ringing incessantly. One gave Van is still prized as Lidl tickets. As a competition with myself, I measure how fast the people I am mobile loswerde. "No, already gone," zack opened - ten seconds of the record. Even with three o 'clock at night the phone rings. I put only after 18 seconds, because I still insert: "You know really how late we have?" At night by three duze I clock on the phone each, and certainly people who believe, by an unknown Van a gift to get. Anyway, who wants to have snow at this drive? Now the phone.

And the mailbox in the morning full lunches. Of course, I call back and not come to the conclusion that it is morally unacceptable, the mobile phone number of foreign people to abuse. When the phone rings, I will with sporty ambition finally the Ten-second break sound barrier - and can barely find that a good friend is on it.

The next caller will get a lift again. I explain to him that there are actually tickets are as big in the ad is - "Lidl you sell tickets, you wanker!" I put up and wonder whether it is morally defensible, someone who sells tickets Lidl, wanker than to describe.

Fortunately, I meet you after all the train sense the only right decision: I say to my brother, that I gave him to buy the remaining tickets and the same procedure. He leaves it to me for 55 euros. I believe him now for a moral people, but wants to help in the moral questions again nine class visit.

"Actually, you do not do anything," was my brother said. Take the train high prices because all insane? I let my two-day trip in capitalism review. "Actually, nothing happens. Nothing," I tell myself. And sleep, although only a few hours I was awake.

I would so like a millionaire.

It is probably the most ambitious thesis of the World: The student Yvonne Feller and Florian compete Flechsig, who was the first one million euros makes - with daring ideas strictly in the service of science. Sinniger name of greed experiment: We are young and need the money.
  Who in Berlin regularly with the subway runs, is something usual. Of the homeless, with flowery descriptions sell magazines, to questionable singing performances. Nevertheless, some passengers were amazed not bad, as a polar bear at the end of November the subway entered. More precisely, a guy in the polar bear costume. In his hand a sign: "Knut & You. Take a picture."
Millionaires homepage: Cash Search pluckernder banjo accompaniment

The polar bear is Florian Flechsig, 28, and he is in the midst of a campaign for a much larger project. It is about one million euro to earn as fast and as easy as possible. It is a competition. Florian replaces against Yvonne Feller, 25, with similar actions will come into money. Both are students of Visual Communication at the University of the Arts (UdK) in Berlin, the actions are part of her thesis. There is need for explanation.
Gitarrengeklampfe without prior knowledge
"On a summer evening we sat on the Landwehr canal with a beer," says Yvonne. "Somehow we came to how unfair it is that many unspannende and unpleasant people have so much money, though you yourself and others a lot of great and is much more deserved." Then they pondered how many people an exciting and fulfilling life could be Deutsche Bank CEO Ackermann only a fraction of its assets competence.

The two students last year at the UdK and have been for a while in search of a thesis topic. This led to the idea, with a series of actions within a set time frame for the sum of one million euros to come. "It was important to us as simple, without great knowledge of money to come," said Florian. "The actions should have already show a certain value, but it is not about to entertain the people." The "digital brainstorming and theoretical considerations documented in a blog.
The website provides information on soft Wirsindjungundbrauchendasgeld.de pluckernder banjo music ( "The music is a bit of the gold rush widerblogsn") on the balance of Yvonne and Florian, and went about upcoming events. So we learn that the two diligent collect waste paper and glass ( "There's reason to Capital"), Florian advertising space in a virtual living room rented (Klickvorschlag.de) and Yvonne T-shirts online offers. Or in front of the Brandenburg Gate guitar playing - without prior knowledge. "At the moment I have four songs in the repertoire, which I almost handles and a bit of the text mastered" it says in this blog. The guitars and Eisbär actions also show video clips.
"From the house, I am not Rampensau"
Yvonne deals in their entries with the ideological side of the venture, Florian choose a more pragmatic approach. "It is already a kind of justification of the whole," says Yvonne. "Most people are not thereby become rich because they are good, but calculating and ruthless."
Miser-DIPLOMDDPEntdecke the Swabians in you! Zahncremetube slice, for ten cents on the railway track and jump only tip at Christmas? When saving nobody makes you what? Show what you can and pass some savings in the quiz of blogs ONLINE. more ... To play well the consequences of the current financial crisis played a role in the project. Both have sports betting with a few hundred euros and deserves to see parallels to the world of shares and speculation: "In comparison to the money that burned in the stock market is our action a fly shit," said Florian. "In principle, we show how money can play. On the stock market, many actually addictive game."
The contest aims to competition in the economy simulate. Whoever voluntarily climbed into the polar bear costume or, without being able to play guitar in public, also explores personal limits. "If you, like me, out of the box is not Rampensau, cost some actions already overcome," says Yvonne. And Florian denied a certain "therapeutic approach" is not.
Both have quite the consequent continuation of the initial thought, "with a simple means to earn money" - Sell your own body. Prostitution, which was then but too far. Nevertheless Florian being considered as future action underwear worn in relevant web forums highest bidder at the man or woman to: "I have since made acquainted times, one can be quite astonishing amounts achieve."
So far no money raining, it kleckert
The project is still not long, so far only around 1500 euro together. Florian is well ahead - and if it continues, it could ultimately Yvonne revenue dust. "The winner takes it all", since the end of December is an additional clause to the rules.
After a casting date, the two now hope that with the participants on-Pilawa Fernsehquiz work. And they are working on the next action - a Charthit land. Yvonne has already written their song, a pre-produced and even a director willing to find a suitable music will produce. In mid-January should be ready.
As Florian must follow suit. Perhaps with the creation of a UFO cult? Brav Who pays the contribution, receives a membership card. Also on private donations are looking forward to both. And want to interact with the website visitors improve. "We want more reactions - of course, critical," said Florian. "I think about whether you might also from a selection of ideas which may vote next action."
"We are young and need the money" officially runs until May. Then we will have the exams, and professors UdK appraise the project in written form, such as multimedia. Should the two until then but will be millionaires, would be nervous before the test certainly smaller.

Athena with two fists.

Nicole Haustein studied in Darmstadt in sociology - and boxing. Not long, but always better. Meanwhile, pro and she is despite her 30 years as a major talent. Only with the cult of the body and the erotic poses many competitors can not begin.
  It seems not many boxers Interior, which is before her first professional fight with such topics are: discrimination against the disabled in the German school system. Or Karl Mannheim's Sociology of Knowledge. Even before these two sociology departments at the Technical University of Darmstadt Haustein Nicole was very excited. But that nervousness was a joke, compared with their emotional turmoil on the last Saturday in November.
A distance of 1000 spectators were in the Karlsruhe Rhine beach Hall came to be seen as a professional. Women's boxing obey the same rules as the kitsch überdrehten men's events: dry ice fog, Lichtergeflacker, pathetic music.

Nicole Haustein had the guitar Kracher "Animal I Have Become" by the Canadian grunge band Three Days Grace selected as musical accompaniment for the way through the hall in the ring. But with the gong for the first round, there was a strange Tierwerdung - "I jumped around like a Gummi Bear." Sometime this Gummibärchen started really well with boxing, the nervousness disappeared with every minute, respondent Aljona Belevic always had more trouble. And after the four-round fight, there was a winner, as a professional nobody had previously known: Nicole Haustein.
Vordiplom first, then as a professional license
Ever since this fight, it is located on the way into another world, from a half years ago they still knew nothing. At the time, Nicole Haustein examined in great supply of the Darmstadt university following a course that has fun and variety to the sociology studies should provide. Volleyball fell through as being too boring. In the Boxgruppe remained hanging. It was precisely this stark contrast to verkopften study subjects such as "flexibility of labor and employment" or "educational processes in the social context", the Nicole Haustein quickly a passion for the hard fist fight had developed.
And then there was Christian Bugge. The head of Boxgruppe knew what talent movement since he was admitted to run: "I have the same training at their first seen that it is good." Together with the coach he brought Christopher Herre Nicole Haustein the basics of boxing in, the German university championship 2008, she joined for the first time ever in the ring - and left him as the winner.
Then came even more movement in their lives. Haustein Nicole was born in Frankenthal in the Palatinate, worked for seven years in Green City as a teacher for mentally handicapped children, according to Abi, her, wrote to the TU that he moved to Darmstadt - and trained in the dialect from Kurpfälzische. Last summer, she then passed her diploma, shortly after the license purchased as a professional.
In the Boxszene is exotic
In only four fights Nicole Haustein hitherto stood in the ring. Bugge, 35, is now her manager with a license from the German Berufsboxverband and says that it was "for us a little adventure." The Economist studied Boxstall wants to own up. The name he has: "Athena". The head of the Greek goddess is the logo of the TU Darmstadt, she is the goddess of wisdom, strategy - but also of the war.
ON TO ONLINE photo blogs haul: a student with an iron fist My first time: Sima, 18, a boxing opponent Ko (30.01.2007) Powerful student: A flyweight boxing upward (18.01.2006) Roller Girls: Raging anti-Barbies (20.10.2008) sports Asseburg: How US-Unis their athletes cheat Studies (01.12.2006) The academic variant of the Women's boxing collides with a parallel universe: While surfing the Web pages can be of various German fighters easily confused with shopping portals of Reizwäsche manufacturers. Almost any professional can take photos in erotic poses, the great German champion Regina Halmich was for the "Playboy" is almost all shells fall. Since missing only to round out the call: "reputation, I am! On!"
Nicole Haustein finds that damage the reputation of the industry. If starting in January also their homepage on the grid goes, there will never intrusive erotic pictures to be seen. She is now 30 years old and is a high performance athlete who is studying in the morning, evening trains. Like many other female athletes.
She has found pleasure in it that she and her Boxtalent a bit of money, and also knows that a woman with her background will be quickly noticed in the Boxszene. A career in science, and also in a humanities discipline, is pure exoticism. The Federation officials should have been happy about this imagefördernden access, assured Christian Bugge.
With a blue eye in the lecture
Also at the Darmstadt University falls on Nicole Haustein. For example, if you after a hard training fight with a black eye in the lecture sits. Or if they are no longer rushing to students participating parties. But a small celebrity bonus, it has already developed a pedagogy professor appreciated the fact that one of his students now professional - and gave her an essay for the same times longer one weeks time.
The love of some intellectuals to the boxes is not new, most impressive, she was described by a sociologist. The Frenchman wanted Lois Wacquant 1989 only the milieu a boxing clubs in the ghetto of Chicago study, but declined to sport and its rituals, so that is why he almost threw his academic career. He then over his three years in Chicago Boxer the famous book "Living for the Ring" and is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley has become.
By Boxmilieu from a black neighborhood of Chicago, the academic lives of athletes Nicole Haustein not compare - Wacquant book, it has nonetheless ordered. In February, her next battle will take place, so Manager Bugge. Against whom is still unclear. Regina Halmich, the multiple world champion, has already Nicole Haustein certifies great talent. They even have the stuff to the European champion.
All well and good. But a task in 2011 will Nicole Haustein possible despite all the achievements not move: her thesis.

U.S. students to shake drinking laws.

Drink until Abwinken with Billigfusel - at U.S. universities, many students give the edge regularly, even though it only from the age of 21 may drink alcohol. Uni-President with addiction experts argue about the age limit: Prevents or promotes the collective mines?
  Make ready for "Abschießen": from 21 clock is darkened, admission only with a password. Patty, Chris and Jonas rummage black sheets, and bring it carefully on the window of their apartment to house. The other fellow of the State University of San Diego, meanwhile, make for deafening music and the most important mountains of beer cans and vodka bottles. "Let's get wasted!" - "Let us drink," it is said every Friday evening. Not only students in this house.

In the middle-class district, the campus of Southern California coastal town surrounds equip every weekend, hundreds of young people for "Abschießen". Until Monday morning, they have many of their fellow students as the whole country only one goal: Drink until Abwinken. To meet America's growing elite nerve their rigid society, as in the United States is the only beverage allowed from the age of 21. What seems like a paradox: The escalating University booze have a debate on lowering the age-igniting.
"What is prohibited, what makes us really fun," says Lisa, 19, laughing. The economy student sits with her five housemates inside at the kitchen table and "glows before." With two bottles of vodka. Each fills a small plastic cup brandy with the cheap booze, and then called it "shot", says ex and hopp. "In 15 rounds," says Lisa, "here comes not from us out." Finally, all want the best mood, when it goes over to the house party of Patty, Chris and Jonas. It klackert on the floor after each "shot" fly six plastic cups on the floor. In between, take a juice, then a new round of plastic cups on the table.
Who can stand still, has lost
Lisa and her roommate have a hard weeks behind it. Lectures, exams, lectures. "From Monday to Thursday will be tough gebüffelt," she says. "Since we know nothing. But from Friday, because it only means: Everybody should be wasted." Those who look straight at night and on both legs can stand, which is uncool, and has lost. A Code of thousands of students across the country.
Particularly vulnerable are the Freshmen, usually first in 21 years. You do not at Spring Break, the annual Sauf festival on the beach, orderly crash, but also in university life. In a study by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) was nearly half of the students investigated a university, at least once in two weeks in a coma drinking participate. The institute estimates that in the U.S. each year, about 5,000 minors directly or indirectly by alcohol consumption die - counted traffic accidents, suicides, fights, injuries and fires after proliferating parties in student houses.
Two fellow Lisa had stitches with a knife to the hospital after being at a beach party to the dispute had been a student. Fortunately, the police were not far away. Friday to Sunday, she in San Diego and other student centers patrol more often than usual. In raids party should primarily be underage drinkers caught, watchful neighbors help the officials.
"At 18 you can fight in Iraq - but should not drink"
But the students are on alert. Who through the darkened window, police erspäht proposes alarm. Immediately silent guests and music, the bottles disappear. Is still an under 21 caught, threatening fines and license - and disciplinary action by the universities.

They know the professors long course, what every weekend around them happen. About a hundred university presidents want Sauforgien the opposite effect: the reduction of the age limit for alcohol consumption to 18 years. Of this, they promise a more moderate use of alcohol, which is then no longer be hidden drunk. "The existing age limit of 21 infantilisiert students, but only provoked an immature behavior with alcohol and disrespect for the law," says John McCardell. The ex-president of the University of Middlebury in the U.S. state of Vermont, was instrumental in Amethyst Initiative professors involved.
"At 18, a young man in the United States to marry, adopt children, guardians for minors to acquire weapons, the president and as a soldier fighting in Iraq," says the retired professor. "There is no sense that he can not even trust responsibly deal with alcohol."
Is secretly drinking the worst?
Security experts and anti-alcohol lobbyists accuse the professors opposed to only from the responsibility to attempt to draw. They warn of a rapid increase in injuries and even deaths and argue for higher penalties for violations of the drinking ban. "We need to stop the consumption of alcohol as minors wink ritual for entering the adult world to see," says Vivian Faden from NIAAA in the "Washington Post".
ALCOHOL UNTIL 21: So there have been a MINDESTALTERTod TO KindesBis 1984 could each U.S. state's alcohol limit set. Nearly half allowed to drink from 18, the controls were more lax. Until a mother brought the ball rolling: Candy Lightner 13-year-old daughter Cari was in 1980 by a motorist angetrunkenen on a quiet side street in Fair Oaks (California) over and had been killed. The driver initially fled was a two-year prison sentence by the use in a work camp umgehen.Eine mother swore to trade Candy Lightner was stunned - especially as their children already were victims. Already with 18 months was Caris twin sister was seriously injured when a motorist had umgefahren their prams. And her son Travis was four years while playing in front of the house by a car had been run over. Little was temporarily paralyzed and was in a coma for several days. The accident driver was under the influence of sedative tablets confessed, but did go unpunished. According to Caris death Candy Ligh!

Reagan administration made mitIn television shows, before the expert groups and finally to the U.S. Congress canvassed Lightner for drunk Tax is no longer regarded as a minor offense, but hard to punish. My suggestion, the use of alcohol until age 21 to allow the government was under President Ronald Reagan supported. A specially set up Presidential Commission developed some 40 measures to address the problem of drunk driving to bekämpfen.Am end: No alcohol under 21 JahrenMit great concern, but you could see how young people from the U.S. states with more stringent laws for the weekend in droves over the weekend the border there were, where they already got alcohol, and then not infrequently sturzbetrunken home state.

The national minimum age for alcohol consumption has been in existence since 1984 (see box). And the alcohol Gags showed success: From the adoption of the law until 2007 was a study estimated the number of drinking Zwölftklässler from 70 to 45 percent, the number of fatal car accidents under the influence of alcohol by about 30 percent. According lose every year since about a thousand less people than before their lives due to accidents.
The law had binge-drinking in the first place on the campus brought argue, however, the professors of the Amethyst Initiative: watering students hidden, it is beyond any social control. "We have a real problem," said Dan Mote, president of the University of Maryland, in the "Washington Post". "Almost every sexual assault on our campus is in conjunction with alcohol. Altogether nearly every violent incident. In the debate about the age limit is not just about drinking and driving. It is a much wider field."
"50 hours flat drinking in seven days"
In the darkened hideout of the student house in San Diego is limited to the field this Friday evening on the size of a ping-pong plate. "Beer Pong" is especially popular: The players are grouped around a triangle filled with beer from plastic cups and try, with a Pingpongball in one of the cups to be taken. If one must be opponents in the cup a train empty. The others stand around and cheer on.
Lisa already depends on a mattress from. Last week, she says, it had another house party a sect Orgie celebrated. A giant, the fun was. "There was every guest to another shackled, until every brav emptied his bottle of bubbly had."
At the WG-kitchen hangs a list of participants with many signatures: A travel company advertises for a student Sauftour to Mexico. There is not only cheap liquor, it must also be aged 18 gezecht. "50 hours flat drinking in seven days," advertises the provider. Just after the border is going on.

A Quantum Science.

Dortmund professor Metin Tolan, a strange scientist. For years, he investigates the stunts from 007 to its plausibility. Geschüttelter Martini, falling aircraft, magnetic clocks - so that makes the book dry physics lectures interesting.
  DDPProfessor Tolan: Big Bond fan, even for professional reasons

The new James Bond film "A Quantum Solace" Metin Tolan has been viewed twice. "The second time I discovered a lot of what I look at the first had not yet noticed," says the 43-year-old physics professor from Dortmund. The current Bond was "the temporeichste film," he had ever seen.
With the pace of Tolan knows. The professor from the Technical University of Dortmund has been growing for years, the James Bond films from physical view under the microscope. The outcome of the investigation, which he of 41 students from the University of Dortmund and co-author Joachim Stolze supports, is the book, "Shaken, not stirred."

At 240 pages illuminated Tolan is the stunts of Ian Fleming invented by British secret agents, sometimes breathtaking, often impossible, however, also appear. In sketches, diagrams and pictures, he describes the action scenes. The stunts in the current film with Daniel Craig could Tolan in his book, however, are no longer evaluated.
Incredible action scenes
Some of James Bond is from the perspective of the physicist to explain quickly. For example, his preference for shaken, not stirred martinis. "The alcohol molecules to the surface and in the first sip shaken," says Tolan. "And that is not unimportant for Bond, who is always just a sip in passing notes and then saves the world."
MY NAME IS QUIZ. BOND-QUIZ. [M] DPA; RUB; Sony Pictures / Greg Williams True Fans know their heroes. How much bond is in you? You know all about James Bond Vorleben and dislikes, his Wumm and his Gespielinnen? Test your agent qualities - in the Bond quiz. More ... Complicated, the analysis of the film from enthusiastic scientist when it comes to - especially in older Bond films - often appalling action scenes go. Tolan cites as an example a scene from "Golden Eye" with Pierce Brosnan, in this as an agent of Her Majesty with a motorcycle off a cliff fall in free fall in an airplane descent deadline and then at the last second before the crash preserved. 007 must be very lucky and very well able to calculate trajectories. The physical technical term for this is: a horizontal throw with friction.
Brosnan is Tolan favorite Bond. As in "The World Is Not Enough" is still under water in the speedboat tie the knot, is for the scientists "are simply unbeatable." He describes himself as a "physical cineastes. Dortmund are legendary in his lectures on "Star Trek". Even the blockbuster "Titanic" he has on his scientific plausibility investigated.
Star Trek, Titanic, football - all research subjects
"Learning to work, if it is something useful, or if it's fun," said Tolan credo. In lectures, he also explains what football has to do physics and decrypts the secret of bananas flank. With his happiness formula for the year 2006 and the calculation, just why Germany had to be world champion, although he was wrong. But so serious Tolan said it would not.

With Bond, he is most like. Technical Gimmicks like the invisible car, with the Q, the chief inventor of the British secret service MI6, in "Die Another Day" up all time, is the Professor of completely implausible: "A car that is just so invisible, it is science fiction. This is not scientifically investigated. "
As for the more fascinated scientists, are Q-inventions like the clock with Electromagnet with which Bond can move a spoon. "We have asked ourselves how strong this magnet to be," says Tolan. Was also calculated how much of a magnetic field in order pistol bullets distract them. "The amazing was that three seconds it takes to be a field that has."
The film will actually passed three seconds until the ball deflected from its orbit has been - "that is probably a coincidence, but for us it was a triumph."

Old Gang Gang in harder.

From the age of rotzigen Saufhymnen are the "Toten Hosen" to get the T-40-music troupe from the Rhine now "in silence" - says the new album. "Deichkind" while rehearsing for the Ohrwurmpolonaise precariat. A sound check from the Uniblogs editorial.
  DEAD PANTS / "In silence"
"We are back as if reborn '- in" Power ", the first single from the new deaths trousers album" In silence, make the Düsseldorfer guys like a clear announcement.
DDPErwachsen become Campino, Kuddel, Breiti and Andi

Four years after the last record "Return to Happiness" and a long break for solo projects and film adventure ( "Palermo Shooting") are Campino, Kuddel, Andi, and from Breiti with the pure and does not always create a spectacular, but homogeneous album before.
What after the first run immediately, the initial absence of a fun or Sauf anthem mark "tens Jägermeister small" or "Walkampf". We wanted so Campino, the songs that are very thoughtful and critical, are not absolute. The T-40-Toten Hosen force has grown up.

The bulk of the 13 pieces used in pushing forward harder pace as in the AC / DC-derivative "part of me." But there are also some surprises: for example, all new interior, "a dense atmospheric journey into Campinos I, accompanied by a singing saw, or" The final battle "as a bow before Ton Steine Scherben.
UNIblogs 6/2008TITELKrise. What Crisis? The rebuilding of the University of Frankfurt for the elite school of course HochfinanzInhaltUnd "dissolution", the first duet in the history of trousers. For years dreaming Campino from a pas de deux in the style of Johnny and June Carter Cash and Johnny Thunder and Patti Paladin. Only when his appearances in Berlin's "Three Penny Opera" was held with the Austrian actress Birgit Minichmayr suitable female singing partner.
"Disco," a Euro-Dance Punk has provided the ride through the ups and downs of the night life, wanted something to come over, there is at the end of "In silence," another highlight: "fear". The dynamic, dark piece was the idea, with the guitarist and James Bond fan Kuddel very end in the rehearsal room was running - it sounds like a classic 007-title song in rock form.
The newborn trousers, rather than an adult endeavor funny. To expect that was not the veteran way from the Rhine - it is all worth honor.


Deichkind / "work nervt"
They have done it again: After the chaos Hamburger Force Deichkind two and half years ago with "rebellion in clover" final, hip-hop in the direction of electric madness adopted develop Philipp, Porky, Sebi, Phono and newcomer with Ferris' work nervt "their dancefloor -rioting continued.
Other highlights include stories from the trucker life ( "Travel Pussy") or the Proleten anthem "Come over," only the NDW-Audibles "air train" tarnished the sensational picture.
