Little Differences IV - The educated elite

Elite ist Ansichtssache. Meiner Meinung nach ist die beste Methode, Großes hervorzubringen, den Pluralismus zu fördern. Dazu gehören auch Leute mit großen Plastikhirnen auf dem Kopf wie auf diesem Foto. Für die Schule bedeutet dies, dass jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten gefördert werden sollte, anstatt zu versuchen, allen möglichst viel klassische Bildung einzutrichtern, die sich die meisten eh nur bis zur nächsten Klassenarbeit merken.

The word elite in France has the cruel status , the German politicians also seem to us to do. Grandes Écoles and elite universities are a normal part of the education system . Who there was won, who was not there, get some jobs not easy. The consequence of the remoteness of the political caste people I had ever mentioned .

parade elite students also on 14 July on the Champs-Elysees and get specials in quiz shows, where they must show in their uniforms, who is the best of the best schools.

A particularly fine example of the importance of the elite in France is now thankfully history: Formerly private schools began in the morning for fifteen minutes before the lessons so that their students on the road is not interfered with the mob. On the effectiveness of the measure can be safely arguing, but it was probably more around the icon. And it has worked.

And simultaneously with the calls for elite in Germany is already severely punished at the school every deviation from the norm. Somehow I can not help thinking that there are not very elitist spirits who attempt just to conjure up an educated elite from the political hat.

Slowly it into place. While I yet diffuse the coming of a Google search faces had prophesied, Google Faces has now moved a step closer. Google Neven Vision has (via Heise ) swallowed a company for content based on image data, including facial recognition. So far the talk of a local search, or at most of the album on their Web , as it offers Riya already with him.

But at some point will make a Provider step to complement the photos on the web with data on any of the objects and faces. And then have to follow the others. You can make money without doing evil or not.

On the other side of me is important to stress that Google is indeed regarded with precisely so meticulously, precisely because they have this "Do no evil" philosophy. Other companies are expected to do anything other than that they are inherently evil.

bad trip live 2 - child and dog frustration

This trip is a pleasant little time before. The first train traveled the entire route brats with strong Schäubledialekt that played loudly in their cars, ran down the aisle and on the train kloppten. If they liked me at least in High German on my nerves! And the mother is at irregular intervals, "Now But final conclusion here, "roared," Listen now to make so much noise! ". "No." was the terse reply of the children, followed only once by a question about the reason of the ban. The answer, "Because you are not alone on the train and the other people interfere." Impressed her argument but not in the least. Also, a strange woman has asked them repeatedly not to run, but this was only acknowledged with an irritated shoulder check.

Now I'm sitting in the Euro City and it's quiet, but I am not sure how I should I pass the time, because I'm too tired to read (this morning have been awake at half past eight), but also could not sleep for a short while ago. Furthermore, is such a stupid Schoßwauwau under the seat in front of me and smells dreadfully. Dani I just can not always believe that dogs stink when they are not wet. But they do it and I hate that smell. Normally I hold my breath, but there has to set up here at home, I'm probably not the choice.

bad trip live 1 - tickets frustration

Yesterday I was angry at the German railway, which it does not manage to sell tickets for the French railways that use the special rate for young people to 26. So I had to pay full price. For but they had extra someone made and it has taken on the switch the cards eingetippert on publicly available machines for me.

why I pay a little more money than now on the way there, sit for it but not in a TGV but in an EC, which actually had about 20 € less will cost. Never again buy train tickets in Germany, if I can avoid it.

What Is The Tattoo Bam Got In Las Vegas

And if you think it no longer will come from somewhere a drop.

Cursed-quarter hours, I'm just gelatscht home. At first, the way only long and drizzle quite uncomfortable. The last three kilometers were simply just sickening. Rain fell in sheets and my umbrella at some point, only half a shit. The water came down from heaven, from the side and in the form of the torrents from below. My pants were heavier by far than the first day of wandering and every time I thought that it is now completely full of water would be sucked, I noticed a short time later that they had become more difficult. Why only have we not taken the last bus?

It was the way back from Olewiger wine festival. A surprisingly good with a decent celebration fireworks and several live bands consistently surprising Oker music. Although we have hardly seen anything of it because we were the most time at a friend of René, who had invited many people and served with drink and wraps.

Earlier in the day I had finally met with René at his home (after he had tried in vain again and balancing for me) and he told me he now goes to Sweden for two years to make his master, we have talked a bit about old times and us regarding the clerk of court zugekoksten plots show made fun while we have increased their rate a .

Oh and even earlier in the day I was to print and what the neighbors have the beautiful experience that Windows XP is now no longer require, embarrassing display blue screens, if something goes wrong, but the same box reboots completely discreet. A fun day, then, shame about the wet end.

a I know that we really do not increase their quota, as long as there is no such a strange rate meter is installed, but my God.

Little Differences III - Religion on TV

Ein neonhinterleuchtetes Kruzifix.

After I saw that here every Sunday a church service in the public service Television is transmitted, I thought: "at Oops look, which has here even less worked with the separation of church and state than us," But then I can explain to me that it is directly behind the other a Catholic, a Protestant, a Muslim and a Jewish slot there. That's even an announcement. Well, now the Catholic broadcasting time is somehow twice as long as each other, but after all the currently still by far the most common religion in France after the Protestants have remained only in some remote mountain villages alive and well with the Immigration and not as dramatic as you want to believe the right voters. As the reaction would be Sunni a debt of Shiites and even get to each have their own place, I do not know though. After the other day was the first black leader in the history of the evening news, the topic of the day number 1 already. Is probably still a long road to equality " visible minorities."

Many encounters

Today I attempted to make the people I know here in the village however and have not seen forever. First was my friend from elementary school René, whose mother had told my grandparents that he currently in the land. I'm So after our lunch there, and his mother has me put up, but she had to tell me that he was on the way and only for lunch would be back ("I eat at twelve," not other families).

Then I say by the arisen showers zurückgestapft again (the house is just over 100 m, was then, especially with shield) and had my grandfather been a pleasure, as I with him on VHS dubbed Super-8 films I watched. Unfortunately, my grandfather, the habit of commenting more in detail who is to viewing (which you will quickly find themselves) and who is already dead by the sighted to friends (which seems morbid) but no stories and anecdotes to tell about the images (which would be interesting).

the morning I had already spent way to teach him how to deal with the new video recorder. The view can show, which will lead to the original idea to also my grandpa to program recordings. Unfortunately, we came to the approximately two hours does not go beyond the direct recording of the current program. Each computer should be once in a lifetime my grandfather with the operation of technical equipment have stated. Then you can see user interfaces with different eyes.

albeit a VCR or to a real disaster was when it came to that. In parts of the menu was one Hoch-/Runtertasten with the up and down, in others it has adjusted to the values and the other designated Left / Right moves the cursor up and down. Bravo, because surely someone has sat for hours at the desk. But as I said, until this trip over I do not even come with my grandpa. The name of the video recorder manufacturer I have not noticed, unfortunately, but he was not very big turn somewhere. Sometimes no-name is thus not so the true. After the films were

then Black Forest cake from my grandma, after we had our first cake of Tuesday already destroyed. Yummy! 've Eaten four pieces. Previously I probably know this through a half a cake at once plastered, but it is probably not getting any younger.

then I am in bright sunshine back to Rene and this time has long no one put up and then his father, who has always radiated a pleasant comfort me and then shuffled in a bathrobe at the door, came to inform me that René would now be gone because he had unfortunately had a date, but that he would look in on me. Well then I will wait for times when he has a gap in the calendar =)

Then I'm back home briefly over and have my grandma asked if she would object if I make a part of the cake to the neighbors kidnapped. had with their son Jonas I invariably also a good contact when I was down here and the whole family is also very pleasant and cultured. My grandfather hates them, but unlike my grandmother, who can restrict them you really good relationship with the neighbor, I was pretty damn. So I have three pieces over worn cake and met Jonas' mother just outside the door where they removed the growth from the gutter to the curb because they did not want to give the shame of last year, had cleaned out the neighbor from across their entire channel . Only on the honorable mention he had to wait a long time because they were not aware of it. I would not have noticed it now, that looked like one half of the gutter already different than the others, but I'm probably not simply the right neighbors had.

Jonas was not expected there, but we have talked a long while, very nice and the cake came as expected, good.

I am then straight to the third and last station to a friend who also dates back to elementary school and I had not seen for more than René. Benedict lived in the village at the top and I had forgotten how steep is the Hunsrück. At least compared to Bielefeld and Paris even more so. I am glad that I was in Germany with sports begin.

Then I made a totally unexpected little boy, which was already visible in the running of the steps behind the closed door. I was prepared not now, but the little it was probably quite used entirely to meet strangers at the door and asked me first in with a gesture. An invitation to the parents I would have preferred, but what the heck. Down the hall in the living room I saw adults and awkwardly asked, "Uh, is Benedict there?" Whereupon a somewhat awkward "No ... But first come in! "was launched. "Yes, I ... uh, first pull the shoes off. "It had to do that is as always, take off your shoes at the door.

I then met with Benedict Mother and his father, a tiny mini baby had on her arm. They thought about my name still vague, but my face did not. Then came yet Benes sister stormed out of the kitchen and the mother asked first whether they could still classify me. I returned the scrutiny nervously into the camera as a biometric control grinned and thought to myself was, "Benedict has a sister?" Well, probably not only that, but thanks to her, and two nephews. For heaven's sake. And it looked not much older than I am. Just as transsexual women are trapped in a male body or vice versa, I'm in a body to old prisoner. All around me have families and things like that because I do not come on it clear. Maybe that's just because that my school was screwed up socially so, but I feel like I had slept through a decade.

was any event, the very small child only three weeks old, at least according to his mother. His brother put a vehement opposition and said it would have been four, but I think just about the mother in the case. I assume that it has since the insistent reminders.

We have determined a half hours then sat there and talked, and I found out that Benedict is currently in Asia, the Silk Road by bicycle to reproduce long, starting in Tajikistan, the goal is on the goodwill of the Chinese border. Passes of 4,000 meters - I hope he is not doping. Perhaps he will be Gutweiler when I come down here again in October, that would be really nice. But until then I was once a part of his family to know a little bit better. Also very nice, interesting and above all pleasant people. And I remember that I used to envy Benedict as early as the context in which it is grown.

On the way out, I have my course again put on my shoes I had taken off in the old habit of coming clean and Benes father asked gently, if it had been with them earlier so common I would have done so automatically. Actually, they would demand that their guests not more so, but he himself would have been so confused in the beginning that he would have said anything. I had to smile very much:) Somehow it

visit but have a very strange and exciting feeling, not as places visited and people again. This is a very special thrill of memories and this "What has changed?" Expectation. And that, I had a lot of those days.

On the way back, I then also Jonas' father met and talked briefly with him. All in all, a very beautiful and eventful day, even if I hoped none of the People have encountered.

PS: Ha, and Benes was sister to school together with a Bielefeld times and therefore knew the city a bit. And her friend was on the same high school as me. Hammer a small world!

Addendum: falls to the VCR cause me even more: The consistent substitution in the Trier area "taking" of by "get" applies not only to the collection of weight with a diet ("table just last week 10 pounds have picked up ") and neologisms such as" mitholen "but as I now had to listen, even to catch up on TV shows. Interestingly, there are nonetheless still "shots" and no "catching up" or the like. Nevertheless, I would like to hear Trier times a historian, even if the honey produced as follows: ". This fort was gathered during its history, not once," I think it is now possible.

second Addendum: I was made aware that the last sentence is at least ambiguous in parentheses of the first paragraph. I quote, not the poor mother of my friend but the Heinz Becker in the television series almost the same. For my grandma is associated with sometimes frightening punctuality at the stroke of twelve the clock food on the table added. In the form I know the other just only from television. And it was always like that I went after lunch and then just Réne reinrasselte in their lunch time.

Hair Styles For Natural Roots And Relaxed Ends

To The funeral

So today was the funeral of my cousins most of the time only. I can not say that to me his death is now less unreal opposed them.

What was said before the funeral yesterday in Luxembourg, where we - that is my grandparents, Frédéric's father, his wife Monique and I - set off at half past nine. Despite some confusion because of a diversion, we were half an hour early and had with many others who have already come, wait until 10 before the clock until we were allowed inside the crematorium. The crematorium was a depressing brick building under a flight path. There were certain about 60 mourners, and they that for the most part very young. So many friends of Frédéric. That was very nice!

The ceremony should be irreligious, my grandma had predicted. A rhetorically skilled employees of the funeral company that had previously informed of the deceased should play the role of the priest. But there was obviously a change of plan, so that a rhetorical untrained employees of the church, seemed to have not previously informed the bean, the Job has taken over. For the ceremony variant "Religion, Catholic," a dying Jesus had come down on the cross in brass coat rack look. One of the beautiful but unfortunately postprocessed digital photo graced the podium, where they stood on a low stone plate has a disproportionate functional-looking box. On the edge of the stone flowers and some candles were distributed. This lack of love in the details I was pretty bad.

The little moving speech was not followed by more personal words of close relatives and good friends. And I would very much like to hear some of the assembled friends. But was not provided.

At the funeral my great grandmother was all colorfast including building a Catholic, but the priest has invited non-believers explicitly, but instead to make the holy cross, a gesture of their choice, to say goodbye in person. In this short Christianized celebration but it was no question, so it has not done. And there was my Auffalltoleranz passed I did not want to be the first to out of line. Especially since even the other hand said that they do almost nothing else could. When my great grandmother could touch the coffin, as I said at the Frédéric was not very decorative urn out of reach. And

had asked the priest at my grandma to this Christian gesture I would even be able to understand it, because my great grandmother was religious. If the person had a gesture that means something, please. But it has neither me nor Frédéric means something and I only prevented from adopting me sensible, even if I search for Rumspritzen still lingers a moment am, regardless of the successor.

nice, however, was that while these individual adoption of his favorite song was played, even if it was "inappropriate" techno music. Then we were

loaded into a pub in Trier, which was set up very nicely, and generally had a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. There was also subtle but beautiful music and it was a good buffet. Unfortunately, it was difficult to come to a conversation with people, but I was instead talking to my uncle Rainer and Monique very pleasant. And since the last time as a child, that was completely new in this form. That was really very nice.

The two had to leave quickly but then again, to get to their flying. As with Peter was also waiting at which the work unfortunately. So we are after about a half broken and then back to my grandparents.

On the way to the funeral

I drive just past the ruins of a great industrial plant: large halls, long pipes, broken windows and all brick, corrugated iron no, no concrete. It is located somewhere in front of Thionville, where I am now just been run. I'm on the way from Paris via Luxembourg to Trier and then again tomorrow to drive from Trier to Luxembourg in order to finally say goodbye to me as Frédéric.

I also have just met my uncle Peter of the Reunion, which is driven from Trier to Paris to take his plane back home, the funeral is too late for his schedule. It was delayed by the autopsy and the border was crossed. The latter was necessary because Germany does not permit burial without grave. Sunday called Peter, he wanted to see me yet, but Tuesday would go already. Since I could not come earlier, we have just met in Paris. Even a small world anyway. Following a suggestion from my grandma out, we met at La Villette, more precisely in La Geode . Since I was very pleasant to wait in a great environment until the weather suddenly became worse. Fortunately, my uncle came and then we set the building for something to drink. I had some jitters before the match because I was afraid we would tell us nothing, although we have not seen for years. However, it was quite funny, and before we ran out of the discussion, had we both always going on, he to the airport, I to the station. Actually I was going to arrive Wednesday and then directly to the funeral and only later to Trier, but the date was set until Monday, fell to 10 clock in the morning and that was itself not to do with the 7-clock-train. So I drive a little carousel. The trip takes five hours and I've passed the time so far with offline blogging. Therefore I use a great editor, from which only tells me Florian days. WriteRoom can say, nothing and running in full screen mode without a single button. The deflection of freedom of a typewriter, he should play the computer and I think this is exceptional. Moreover, such a beautiful large font very no-frills aesthetic. However, my battery is "richer Opticians" in spite display setting not hold all the way to Trier. But I think from the switch in Luxembourg from the TGV train in a DB, I will content myself with the media anyway, which do not shock-sensitive hard drive.

I'm curious if I tomorrow at the funeral finally really understand what happened.
