The Quizknacker.

The whole life is a quiz - at least for Jochen Telgenbüscher. Seven years on, he shows rate and financed his studies so. On blogs ONLINE winner of the series explains how to make a penchant for useless knowledge to make money.

 

I did it again and again. I am a serial offender - four times I won the quiz with me and so my studies in England funded. Among others, the catchall: 60,000 euro, the Brockhaus and complete all the James Bond DVDs. Now I am student journalist, but when the occasion arises, I would still be happy. Already at my first gig I've noticed: Many quiz winners are professionals with their own tricks.

THE AUTHOR

Jochen Telgenbüscher

Telgenbüscher Joachim, 27, has studied history at Cambridge, before he moved to the Henri-Nannen School of Journalism in Hamburg went. His Quizgewinne sufficient for a complete study without financial worries.

On taste, I am on 4 September 1998. As an exchange student, I was in England, and on TV has started a new quiz - "Who Wants to be a millionaire?". I sat next to my host father on the sofa and could not grasp: one million pounds for just 15 correct answers. The candidates were allowed to even ask the audience and friends call when they are not weiterwussten.

No question: Because I wanted to - at last there was a way of useless knowledge to make money.

In 2001, the first time it worked. Abi Just before I was suddenly around DM 50,000 richer, thanks to the ZDF was. Enough money for three years at the

University of Cambridge to study history. Also on the island, I gequizzt - not for money but for fun in pubs and as captain of the college teams. And then there was the matter with Günther Jauch.

But always nice to turn?

Graffiti against the gray of the wall.

For Israel, it is an anti-terror bulwark for Palestinians a wall of apartheid. The huge barrier between them symbolizes the Middle East conflict. Two young Arabs embellish them in piece-work - with messages from around the world.

 

Before the big politics comes into play, it is first of all, the gray, the Yousef Najimeddien disturbance. Eight feet high, sometimes even higher winds are on the ocher-colored hills, on which are against a blue sky, the olive trees in the barren earth claw. Until the gray horizon ranges and much more. An endless debris of concrete, the here Qualandia in refugee camps in the West Bank, nor a crown of barbed wire rolled bears.

Yousef has aufgeraucht and throws the cigarette away, takes up the spray, is the concrete wall. In sharp lines, he painted, each letter individually. That, as the 25-year-old writes, we see that he is not using the Latin script grew. With the middle finger of right hand pushes it to the Sprühkappe. Stroke to stroke, time and again. Farbgeruch fills the air. It is a work in the chord. It is a matter to be fast, not about rewarding to paint, because Yousef is in order.

There are requests from people all over the world. For example, by Justin from Sydney: Two or three weeks before he came to an idea - he wants his engagement with Zoe announce. But somehow not there should be a bit extravagant. So Justin is clicking through the Internet and pushes on the side with the name "send a message."

There, he reads that it is in Ramallah, Palestinian young people are the lyrics to the separation wall between Israel and the West Bank spray. 30 euros for a message of up to 80 characters in length. A kind of intercultural SMS. So Justin typing in the order box, Zoe & Justin are getting married, March 27th 2010, Sydney, Australia "and sends the message.

1300 messages to six kilometers

Some weeks later, Yousef falters, turns around and asks his friend Faris Arouri: "I come before the L?" Faris, who speaks fluent English, spelled: "Australia". Then uses the 27-year-old back to the camera and knipst further. Yousef sprayt, documented Faris, is the division of labor. Justin will soon be three photos of his message in the e-mail in the event as evidence that its wall-SMS has arrived. Thus he can at home in Australia show that its engagement now in Palestine is advertised. For Justin, it is probably a gag - but Yousef and Faris, the Palestinian wall sprayer, a very serious matter.

If one of the two directly on the wall with his hand on the smooth surface of leaves, one suddenly understands why Yousef to the question why he does responds: "It is the gray." A reply with a wink, before the major policy comes into play.

After Yousef and Faris understand their project as a form of resistance against the Israeli occupation and against the barrier, which Israel since 2003, around the West Bank built - in part through the Palestinian territory claimed and mostly away from the "Green Line", the unofficial border between Israel and Palestine.

1300 messages have Yousef and Faris, along with several others in the past year and a half at the building gesprayt, by the Israelis as an anti-terrorist fence and by the Palestinians as the apartheid wall is designated. 1300 messages, which is about six kilometers. The barrier, when it is finished a length from 759 kilometers. Even if they are not anywhere from a half meter wide concrete segments, enough space remains for spraying all.

"We want people all over the world reach"

"It concerns us about our political concerns on a non-political way to express," says Faris, and differs somewhat, because collecting a yellow taxi on the street honking vorbeirauscht, which here runs along the wall. "We want the people around the world who are otherwise not for the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis are interested."

It sounds very professional, as Faris akzentfreiem in English narrates. Faris has just at Birzeit University in Ramallah, his economic studies completed, Yousef is still enrolled for biology. The two belong to the elite education in Palestine. Probably so they know what one journalist from the West Block in the dictates and what you better not say so clearly. Probably answered they, on their own initiative, on its website, the most frequently asked question, "Buy the Palestinians weapons of my own money?" with a clear no. "The money goes into a youth center in Birzeit," says Faris.

Behind a long-drawn curve is the Checkpoint Qualandia, perhaps a kilometer away. There rises a pillar of black smoke into the sky. It is the unmistakable sign that there burn tires that masked Palestinian youths stones at the guards and throw them with tear gas and rubber bullets answer. It's Friday - and Friday is the day of Palestinian anger.

Israelis know it only as occupiers

Yousef is also angry and Faris, and before they have stones at Israelis hurled in uniform, but that they now want nothing more. They know that it brings nothing. Perhaps they are now simply too old to literally with the head against the wall to run. But you can hear their anger out. Approximately when Yousef told that he had never been on the other side was - never in Jerusalem. And in Tel Aviv, where life rages, and we definitely do not.

You know the Israelis as occupiers. As those with sunglasses and assault rifle at the checkpoints are, by which they are not allowed. Sometimes Israeli soldiers and shoot at them with tear gas, spray when they go, says Faris. Once they had already been arrested. After a day in the cell they were allowed to walk again.

Yousef kramt in the purple plastic bag, which he was hanged on the belt, and fishes out a new box. Blue is empty. Now it goes further with black. His fingers are full of color. Then he laughs suddenly go loud. On the printed label is the message: "In my previous life I was the Berlin wall. The beer was better there." From whom the message comes, he knows not, but grinning, he says: "The well-known our Palestinian Taybeh beer is not."

Then he lifts the can and continue to fight against the gray. Letter by letter. Meter by meter.

"Education can not download".

Is Ringelnatz a fur-bearing animal? Googling can be everything - but that does not replace a real knowledge says Günther Jauch. On blogs ONLINE betrays the moderator, as lazy as a student he was, why he is using the Internet for a garbage dump and how to keep his quiz in the EUR one million abräumt.

 

blogs ONLINE: Mr. Jauch you were a good student?

Günther Jauch: Any mediocre, at the end I went with a glorious free 3.1-graduation from high school. I knew in school exactly what interests me and what not. German, I found great political world customer and biology as some, but in many other subjects, I am almost at the refusal vorbeigeschrammt.

Jauch moderator for "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" No cultural pessimists

blogs ONLINE: You have your times of laziness theory spoken.

Jauch: My strategy was just so much to learn that it is just so for the next exam and a smooth transfer ranges. I have the knowledge functionalized and tried to work with as little effort by the school to come. It was soon clear that I would not be a physicist or a classicist. I wanted to become a journalist, and had not worked, I would be perhaps a policeman or detective has become a banker.

blogs ONLINE: They wanted to be a banker?

Jauch: Business, I found exciting, and I could imagine at a bank to work. I then studied law and politics, the university, however,
soon leave me after the Munich School of Journalism has. Since then I have really wohlgefühlt. The practical orientation was much larger than at the university and the teaching very tightly organized, almost like at the school, only that I was interested in everything this time. My laziness could not unfold, I was somewhat hard to be forced, by internal motivation.

blogs ONLINE: Is that your career tip for all waverers: Be lazy, the pleasure comes from yourself?

Jauch: Do not. I want my own convenience of previously not even in retrospect nice talk. I think that by after school every so slowly into the Slippers come. A fulfilled life is not without effort, and I say of myself that I am in the first 20 years of lazy and in the last 30 was pretty busy. My second half of life I like better.

blogs ONLINE: Do you know a lot to succeed?

Jauch: Let's put this way: Knowledge will not hurt. Of course there are exceptions. In "Who wants to be a millionaire" I was once a candidate who, I asked: By what procedure is sent in ancient Athens his fellow citizens into exile? The four responses were jelly, executioner meal, ostracism and barbecue plates. The lady greatly tended to the grill plate. She asked the audience for help and it came at the last moment or the right answer: ostracism. At the end she went
yet with one million mark at home, partly because she was clever, but above all bravely, had the right instincts and to the best of luck. This mixture can, in extreme cases, very far, not only in my shipment.

blogs ONLINE: Is that what you ask the candidates, part of education?

Jauch: Only partly. I do so no education program, but entertainment. It is rather fragmented knowledge. If you are familiar with popular themes like sports, music, film and television halfway familiar, you very well at the beginning on. Only the difficult questions later when it comes to the millions approaching, I would rather be attributed to the education, knowledge of the classical canon. What is surprising is that even experts are confused when they are with their specialty are confronted. I had a German teacher in my program that did not Ringelnatz for a writer, but for a fur-bearing animal.

blogs ONLINE: In real life you would have quickly gegoogelt.

Jauch: If you have found the answer quickly, but the Internet is tricky when it comes to knowledge goes. It leads to the misconception that we need nothing more, and therefore nothing more to learn. Is everything in the computer. I think this is too simplistic, because the network is rather an informal garbage dump, and very chaotic. Against this information only helps chaos education, because if I use the Key of scrap wants, I have to know basic relationships. Education can not be downloaded. And I have a general problem with people who are proud that they do not read newspapers and only online information - but newspapers are required to participate in the culture and society. All pupils and students, I can only say: Read More Newspapers!

blogs ONLINE: Is not that a call from the 20th Century?

Jauch: Absolutely not. Newspapers make a selection from the thousand things that happen every day, they sort messages, assign them a comment and tell stories in wonderful stories. The course is also part of the web, but there are only the images of line about "the most common tricks of Evolution" clicks, has only a limited knowledge. No news medium can be as good backgrounds make clear how a newspaper.

blogs ONLINE: Nevertheless, the number of newspaper readers back. Is this an indication that we are facing a flood of information capitulate?

Jauch: I'm not a cultural pessimists, formerly was not anything better. There are studies from the fifties, which shows that German graduates in mathematics at that time were absolutely riveting. It is not always worse. Today, the PISA study shows that our students are not stupid than before, but not necessarily wiser.

My 24-hour shift at the library.

The Freiburg University library has around the clock. Good for Amelie Hostel, 20 - student politics urgently needs the substance for three exams in the head beat. Therefore, she to a duel: I against the library, a self-experiment in continuous learning.

 

"Megalomaniac," "totally crazy" and "crazy" - exactly those words, I got from my friends to hear them when I told of my plan: I want 24 hours to spend in the place, which I usually already exasperated after two hours flee.

I make a Lernmarathon in the Freiburg University Library. Megalomaniac? No, more desperate. Total crazy, crazy? Depending now.

I had no idea.

I stand just before the tests, it is my first semester. Within 24 hours I will try to confine myself to prepare for the upcoming exams: "Methods and statistics" and "Introduction to Political Science" is that this a difficult Turkish test. I have made several bibliographies, Übungsblätter copied, a learning file for my vocabulary gebastelt and me in the supermarket with lots of food decorated.

On my worst enemy I could not, however, prepare the fatigue.

10 years Uniblogs.

The first paper appeared Uniblogs turn of the year 1998/1999. Since the higher education landscape and the campus life changed - a little ten-year anniversary of the journey to Uniblogs.

 

Than ten years ago the first Uniblogs appeared, saw the academic world is still different: "elite university" was a dirty word, the study free of charge.

Meanwhile close graduates instead of a diploma or master's with a bachelor's or master's certificate. All this was included in our booklet - but above all it was always important to us, the exciting decade of life 20-30 journalistic manner, everyday life, but also offside or Verborgenes, humorous and thoughtful.

On the Uniblogs that you will read with profit!

Dancing Bares risk.

Lange have made rar Franz Ferdinand - now surprised the Scottish band with the principle of electro and a pinch of funk rock. The Boss is back, with 60 Bruce Springsteen remains the mainstream rock. A sound check from the Uniblogs editors.

 

FRANZ FERDINAND / Tonight: Franz Ferdinand

For weeks it has "Ulysses", the advance single, the top places in the
Campus Charts gemütlich done - a reference to the great expectations that the fans in the third album by the band from Glasgow, "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand", set.

You will not be disappointed: As on the excellent predecessors "Franz Ferdinand" (2004) and "You Could Have It So Much Better" (2005) sound Alex Kapranos, Nicholas McCarthy, Paul Thomson and Robert Hardy as one in the here and now catapulted Wave rock band of the eighties.

Nevertheless, "Tonight" is not a brew of old. The principle of electric have now also discovered the Scots and inferior "Ulysses" and "Turn It On" with dark synth Gegrummel and background effects, the overall picture is less disturbing than refine, and in songs like the dancefloor-compatible "No You Girls" for a genre-jumping rock to funk and disco Prince brand make.

But dancing was Franz Ferdinand has always been, now it is also the largest Ignorant remember. And who can have something against a bow before the late Beatles with "Twilight Omens"? Against a Avance to Blondie with "Live Alone"? A punky "Bite Hard"? A sleepy lullaby ( "Dream Again")? Her damit.

Franz Ferdinand goes into each of the twelve songs a risk, and very successful. So "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" perhaps not their best, but the boldest and most versatile album, with many great surprises. One of the first highlights of the Pop-2009.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN / "Working on a Dream"

Respekt! It is not often that the opening song of an album after the first play immediately once again wants to hear - "Outlaw Pete" by Bruce Springsteen Teens new disc "Working on a Dream" is a: a achtminütiges magnum opus, a dramatically orchestrated stadium panoramic around one of the most striking voices in rock history. A strong piece, even though the basic theme of "I Was Made for Loving You" is reminiscent of Kiss.

"My Lucky Day," "What Love Can Do" and the quieter "Working on a Dream" and "Queen of the Super Market" on the other hand, are traditional, but the boss pure blues, folk and rock'n'roll. Also, he forgets the country with "Tomorrow Never Knows" is not.

Overall, "Working on a Dream" classic, perhaps even old-fashioned U.S. Mainstream Rock, but the passion. The man this year is already 60th You do not want to believe.

Attack of the Seepiraten.

Swimming in Dhaka only the poor - and they must also: In the rainy season is sinking Karail the slums in the water and turns rickshaw drivers ferrying. PhD student Kerstin Humberg grazed wet by the largest slum of Bangladesh.

 

Dhaka on Monday afternoon: With a flick of our wooden boat stranded on the shore of Lake Banani, we arrived promptly attracts onlookers to. Want to follow the young Bangladeschis how we planks on the boat ashore balance. What studied a group of white men and women in Karail, the largest slum in the Bengali capital? Who are the five Bangladeschis at her side - and what the cameras?

The Meteorologist-Insa Thiele Eich and her father, Clemens Simmer PhD from the University of Bonn, for a workshop of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in Bangladesh and for the first time in the country. Since 2006, Dhaka and Guangzhou in southern China locations of the DFG Priority Program
"Megacities - Informal Dynamics of Global Change."

In the rainy season, is fifth in the country under water

Together with two geographers at the University of Cologne and local partners, the two meteorologists want to explore how climate change affects the lives of slum dwellers in the mega city Dhaka effect. Simmer professor and his doctoral student analyzed using regional climate models of the possible extent and frequency of extreme weather. Geographers Boris Tibor Braun and Assheuer investigate what strategies the slum dwellers today defy storms and floods, and their survival.

FOR SERIES

A counselor sets of: Kerstin Humberg flew from Hamburg two years as a consultant to the World. Now doctorate the 31 - year-old graduate geographer and wants for two months in Bangladesh entrepreneurial ideas to explore poverty reduction. They reported in Uniblogs of her life in the land of Bengal.

In the rainy season every year on average one fifth of the land area of Bangladesh flooded. What for us Germans tantamount to a catastrophe, is for the farmers in Bangladesh, normal and even a blessing. To a certain degree of rain and floods secure good harvests and hence their own existence. But since the eighties have extreme phenomena such as droughts or floods particularly strong increase. 1998, over two thirds of the country under water - about two months long.

Apropos: A bottle of water at this moment would be a dream. There are about 30 degrees, the streets are dusty Karails. Creep at a snail's pace through the slum. On the roadside räkelt a girl on a bicycle rickshaw in the sun. In the corrugated iron hut beside a young woman peels potatoes. On the other side of the street a barber shaves a customer.

Exploding Mega City: Lagos Only grows faster

Again and again, I press the shutter of my camera. My gaze falls on a man who on a wooden stretcher lies. While his left arm hangs on a drip, he raises his right hand for greeting. Perhaps an ambulance? Whether snack bar, hair salon or chain carousel - the approximately 30,000 people in Karail organize everything on your own. Urban life in miniature format.

Even now live about 40 percent of people Dhakas in Slumsiedlungen, and it is growing every day. Still living about three-quarters of the over 160 million Bangladeschis in the country, but the hope of work and income is driving farmers into the city. "Apart from Lagos Dhaka is the fastest growing mega city in the world," explains my supervisor Boris Braun from Cologne. Grows by 3.5 per cent of the Dhaka metropolitan area each year, an increase of about half a million people. "In just two years, Dhaka to the population of Cologne have expanded." The bulk of this growth will be based on "informal settlements" cover - ie how Karail slums.

Shortly afterwards we reach a open space on which children play cricket and kite flying can be. There we meet Mr. Yunus, perhaps mid-50th He lives in Karail. How he reacts when it is monsoon season for everything under water? "First, we bring ourselves in safety," Yunus says, pointing to about three meters tall bamboo stand behind him. "Who can zimmert wood debris from a boat together."

Many rickshaw drivers have no other choice. To the daily income of perhaps 200 taka (about two euros) to secure, they must be from one day to change the industry and as ferrymen specifications. If it's really bad, the slum dwellers by the wealthy from nearby Gulshan with food supplies. "The lives of the rich and the poor is closely linked," says my doctor father.

Reich helps poor - who can have his cleaning lady to death?

Since many slum dwellers as a service staff for the rich on the other side of the river work, many personal contacts. The willingness to help the poor, is therefore quite large - albeit not entirely altruistic. Despite losing a lot of slum dwellers in case of extreme flooding nearly everything they have.

While my colleague Tibor diligently study the responses of Mr Yunus noted tried Insa, the noisy crowd of children around him to subdue. Young, blonde women are rarely lost after Karail. For the children Insa is an attraction. "Nicole Kidman could not stir," jokes Professor Braun. Also hands cling to his two children, as we are on the home.

Whether I could swim, I asked one of the Bengal geography professors, as we sit in the wooden boat. "Geht so. As a child, I am by the seahorse-like examination," I joke - and wonder at once worried about his facial expression.

"Most Bangladeschis can not swim," says Tibor. Public swimming pools are not in Dhaka, in the filthy rivers of the city who enjoy only the children of the poor. In fact, clings to the Bengali student Insa Sifat immediately to determine when the rear johlende children on home-made rafts approach. Sifat can not swim. Hardly, we have the small Seepiraten discovered on their raft, the first boy enters our boat and splashing us wet.

Insa laughs and shakes his head. Bangladesh is very different than they expected. Before her departure, she was skeptical, as it clearly would. Meanwhile, it looks quite relaxed and enthused by the "genuine hospitality" Bangladeschis. She has great desire to come back soon. Because it is exactly like me.

Advances in the desert.

Elite American universities go on the Persian Gulf in the academic offensive. You have discovered a new target - the daughters of rich oil sheiks. Because their families do not leave in the U.S., thought the universities: If you are not with us, we go to you.

"At worst, the subjects did so, the women involved," says Place. "Frequently, the women in a very flirtatious Date feeling in truth but had absolutely no interest in its opposite."

The length of the video clips played no role for the accuracy of the forecasts, the researchers noted. Moreover, male and female observers equally well to the true interests of the men at the speed dating to assess - and equally unsuccessful with women.

While the men flirt in almost two-thirds of all cases were correctly assessed, the ratings of female attention hardly better than simple rates.
