With freelancers can do it well ...

Lately I put to my chagrin, once again determined that project client and project negotiations appeared to believe that you can jump around with freelancers, as one is just funny. To briefly outline the topic: I am since 2005 working as a freelance consultant in the IT field. Projects at larger companies are usually given only to project agencies in order that at such a tender compete against each other often. For their brokerage services, these companies pay cash pretty decent percentage of the hourly rates, which end-users in this way conveyed to the consultant.

The usual procedure is to these agencies, requests for tender, the roll along with them to set their own websites and / or a specialized online vendors such as GULP.de . Since almost no promoter ever takes the trouble to rewrite such business calls in your own words, we find In this way, often with multiple vendors and the same text. As an interested professionals write these companies to be explained in many words, why you're the perfect candidate for this and this exact project and sends the respective Project Agencies to his adviser profile.

usually is then required of one, the data in it again in one or sometimes several, to write, of course, for each intermediary firm-specific forms (as if you had nothing better to do - what these companies actually get their percentages?). Then you end up with his data with the respective agents in a large database, hears in the vast majority Cases from the originally requested project ever again, but possibly later contacted again for further projects. Some sellers will be the same forms over and over again but complete. Sometimes even by fax!

do about this everyday madness addition, some brokers or companies they represent clients but every now and again a behavior that one only shake his head and doubting his common sense can. In early 2006 I had presented such as a broker for a project at one of the world's leading airlines. For months, said everything was clear, the client wanted me supposedly necessarily hire and there were supposedly only to clarify details, so that it would supposedly every day with the project can start. After more than three months, then suddenly dropped from one day to the other, the entire project without any justification.

something very similar I am experiencing currently with a project promoter, which has a fairly large customer in the field of - say - serves local provider. For about a month, said sources with the project procurement and over again that the customer has an acute need for immediate support for a very urgent project. Apparently me to the project manager responsible for the client in the very near Opportunity to call - it is now called meanwhile for more than four weeks. Apparently he does not always do so because his project so badly understaffed and so is that he does not even have time to find, to take care of the necessary external support. So, the man I'd like to help ...

Just this morning I phoned the secretary of the concerned project mediation again. Her boss told her to call me again and I like to inform that her client now but I really certainly very important today would call during the day, perhaps, if he should not forget .. . Needless to say that This call is full-bodied, announced today failed yet again. I would really even know whether these people believe in all seriousness that one has to do as a freelancer nothing better than to wait for months just to see if they now decide to or not. Presumably they believe it actually. But it is not natural!

Another farce from the project's broker comedy barn I am experiencing at the moment just with a different service provider who participates in a tender for the public service. As you know, do not get as an independent freelancer job references for his completed projects, like the public customer to replace these missing naturally written references apparently by his own hand-knitted form on which to certify the project from his final project can be that what and how well you worked there. The tragic climax of this approach is the customary in the industry absolutely beautiful word: "The assessment of the project must make use of a contact person from the reference project."

The choice of words here makes me suspect that either the agent or go out (more likely) be a customer of the public sector from completely false assumptions about the real economy. One contact a reference project * must * in principle once nothing, but is at most kindly and in the absence of any information obligation, if it allows him for his time and own workload, which can be considered just not now necessarily self-evident . Finally, it is indeed neither the agents nor their customers pay for this performance.

As a former employee in the project I can about him more than politely ask * give * someone like information - but it's not in my power to demand this ultimate or force at all. After all, should such things that do not belong to the job of the respondents or to the operations of his employer, get compared to your actual project work, and especially for a project, the lowest possible priority. So it is quite presumptuous, if a broker or his client as expected, of course, that other companies provide similar information with priority for expensive paid working hours.

Nevertheless, I have forwarded that copy with a nice verbal bouquet to my previous project to complete. I then witnessed the next nasty surprise. The project client, a major German company, one is obviously the administrative opinion that one should not give such information, because I do not have a contract with the company itself, but one with my placement and in turn their part, had been with the company. Accordingly, in the opinion of the company must fill out the form on my mediation. Man kapriziert on the (legally yet unfortunately totally unfounded) statement that one should even give any information about the work of external consultants in their own home, but must leave this to the project promoters.

This results, of course, two basic problems. For one thing, frankly No one in this project switching the slightest idea what I have during my nearly three years in this project done professionally and technically. It has also never been interested in someone, because the recruitment company has also conceded so always pretty their percentages. Only the monthly bills for my hours were completed over the mediation. The management or the management of the company would therefore certainly not the right person to qualified information to my potential new customers.

Second, my previous project mediation certainly do the devil, through the willing supply of information about my work in my previous Project to another project as a direct placement to help competitors to win a call for projects. From this page is thus certainly not support expected (even if, as I said, probably would be of little help). Not to mention the fact that my current negotiations with any other intermediaries my previous project also address placement is hardly anything. And all this only because my former client cross was raised for some unknown reasons, although even then he had demanded before the project starts, all possible information.

Total myself this a call for projects with all the various Ausfüllerei has questionable forms, sending, receiving, replying, forwarding, sending back and archive e-mails, begging for references and the extensive explanations for the new project placement and for their end-users in the public service has already cost so much work that the value of below market in euro credit Hourly rates slowly but surely the three-digit upward leaves. And even though neither is certain that the placement actually has a chance to win the public tender, or that I would, if successful, will actually commissioned this project. And for my efforts so far of course I get even if successful, not cents.

I praise me in the end but almost back those companies who report to the letters of applicants consistently and did not give even a rejection, if one is not taken into account or from the whole project came to nothing. It is indeed logically not get out, but in this case, wasted one's precious time, at least not in the end, completely useless work and not spend weeks again and again whole days to fill completely useless forms or trantütigen, incompetent or just provide information unwilling agents chasing . But professionals can make a man's so obviously ...

Marine Aquarium Moonlight

Germany has chosen - and now?

Now she is so over, the highly anticipated parliamentary elections in 2009. And after the smoke has cleared, the final analysis, but somehow everything stayed once again as it was. The self-styled "major parties", which long ago are not as big as they still believe it myself would like to share their many years of decline continues, undeterred. The already established under the so-called "smaller" parties for all risen slightly. But fresh air is by new political forces are still not fed into the parliament.

by far the strongest group of voters are again this time the non-voters, whose number now the 18 million mark has clearly passed, almost twice as high as that of the SPD voters and especially larger than the accumulated number of voters along the two parties CDU and FDP, which still make or rather just because the government now . Probably never before has a (n) candidate for chancellor (in) as the election winner feel (in) may, whose party was indeed elected by only 19 percent of all eligible German!

focus was the sign of real political changes are not as good as it has been a long time. The Grand Coalition had excelled for four years alternately hostile citizens by doing nothing or by decisions. Pretty much everyone in the country is likely to have a completely different policy desired. Unfortunately, it is not able to explain to the people in the country that they had had with her voice this time a realistic chance to actually do something about it. And so the politics are, unfortunately, once again stayed at home rather than to choose the existing alternatives, and thus have made sure that everything remains the same.

In one way or another small party, it is certainly more advantageous that it was able to knock out the weakness of the major parties to profit. More gratifying as the right-wing parties do not become stronger, even the Christian Fundamentalists are not, fortunately for our country strengthened significantly, and spiritualist spinners who want to solve all the problems of the world through collective meditation or yogic flying is obviously no room in this country. This shows that the Germans are at least able to recognize that there is nothing to replace existing political nonsense by even more stupid.

is a pity, however it comes to the disappointing results of the Pirate Party. 845 904 or 2.0 percent of the vote, although a nice respect for success, which carried the party from the state to sixth place in favor of the voters (if the CDU / CSU once as a Party included). That is more than the Greens have achieved in their first parliamentary election in 1980. But of course nothing is won! While the indications were that at least a significant proportion of the population wants it can no longer offer longer, though still curtailed personal freedoms and totalitarian governmental bodies such as censorship and widespread video surveillance to be created.

But the masses can be mobilized so that apparently still does not. The only uncompromising defender of civil rights to be enough in today's Germany appeared to not even for the 5-percent hurdle. Our country is in this respect, unfortunately, a sad Picture. And trust of all that the well-known not just for the enforcement of incontrovertible ideals FDP is for example in regard to the proposed Internet censorship to their campaign promises, can surely not be the last word, after the same party just has thrown in Saxony in order to participation in government all liberal concerns about more government control measures on board.

So where controls Germany after the election? Changes in economic policy will probably be inevitable, and for all their love to the welfare state seems to me the skills to be better represented in this area in the new government - subject taken in the still to personnel decisions. Foreign policy is likely to change rather little, except that (like some prankster recently said), a possible foreign minister Guido Westerwelle even encourage Liechtenstein could invade us. For international assertiveness he might in any case are as little as a Karl-Theodor Freiherr von Guttenberg and. This part should therefore continue to remain a top priority.

But if the boss is busy elsewhere, probably in domestic politics can not be expected to be significant changes. As the saying goes that again so beautiful? "When the cat out of the house, the mice on the table. "If Chancellor Merkel to continue relying on the so-called expertise of her cabinet, will our country remain more embarrassing and anti-democratic it alone in the house Schäuble and especially from the home of the Leyen probably not spared. I greatly fear that will change, especially in these points by the future government of the FDP nothing.

The Home Office, which should be so well-cast as little, is so recently been a wish list for the time transpired after the elections, the numerous other area-wide surveillance contains. In this respect, would have only a resounding Electoral success of the Pirate Party can make a difference. And while at least 5 percent so that ultimately no one would come by at their main concern. In this case, I regret it because after the election not only no longer black and yellow, but even more for a grand coalition served.

Well, maybe next time - if the next time even still enough freedom is left to their conservation worth fighting for. And enough freedom to fight this fight at all, can be cashed without it because right from the authorities of an alleged suspicion of terrorism or other potential atrocities. In view the preservation of civil rights such as freedom of speech and the right to free development of personality goes against our country in any case difficult times. But we Germans take it himself to blame. Because we had a choice - but we have not used it!

The Heels From Transporter 2

identity in the electronic world

When I called on Tuesday morning my blog, I experienced (and, evidently, many other bloggers) a nasty surprise: Instead of my own tweets from Twitter, the tweets I never had heard of a person involved in my blog. It was a certain Adam Croot from Essex, who is on Twitter owner of the username "undefined". Apparently had the Twitter Gadged Blogger malfunction in a javascript that returns instead of the correct name of the user-Twitter is undefined "and thus made sure that the tweets were just this author displayed in thousands of blogs.

Poor Adam Croot! In the last two days he had to endure a flood of complaints about themselves. At first, he has not tried to take the matter with humor, but because some users his sarcastic comments ("It's because I hacked the world!") Did not understand the thing for him would have become with time extremely annoying. He could not help it at all was given, but to his great dismay from the cumulative frustration of the blogger. Maybe However, he would have picked something more understanding if he had abstained during this period in his Tweets on the use of expressions of abusive language ...

is now apparently fixed the damage, and the waves have calmed down. However, this annoying incident shows one thing very clear: In today's online world it is increasingly difficult to maintain its own identity and distance themselves from others. allow tools such as Twitter gadget in Blogger but it usually to link its various own performances and keep together, but alas, this one goes wrong anything! All too quickly you suffered then electronically loss of identity, and whoosh-the-wupp it looks for other people as if they would be quite different.

especially in connection with online searches (Schäuble Stasi 2.0), no legal uncontrolled Internet Lock (Zensursula), spurious judgments unsuspecting lawyers over responsibilities for content on the Internet (the infamous "link" case), and stupid, totally anti-technology politicians ("Internet-expression") could the consequences of such incidents for law-abiding citizens actually be fatal. Due to technical problems embedded and content errors could lead to the closure of parties to criminal proceedings or to a public condemnation Lead should be making their effects even when proven innocent too difficult to reverse.

A brave new world is one in which the electronic identity of people threatened in part by a random, to be determined by certain co-prone technology dicing of unrelated, foreign content! In this way threatens despite all personalization of the network, despite all the (yet!) existing possibilities of free speech a gradual loss of individual identity in the electronic world, will not be no stopping the individual human absence of their own (technical and organizational) intervention. I think this idea frankly quite frightening ...

Fish Stick To Pan If Not Hot Enough

warning of the electronic identity card

On 18 December 2008, the German Bundestag adopted the so-called electronic identity card, from 1 November 2010 to replace the existing ID card. New are the credit card format, a chip and PIN and the digital storage of a biometric image and the fingerprints of the right and left index finger. The card will also offer an electronic credential that will enable it to deal with the card and a special reading device electronically via the Internet shown. This is a software called "citizen-client" is needed, together with the ID card is issued.

order in the Internet, the so-called e-ID function is used. The process is somewhat complicated, but ultimately it comes down to that particular service provider on the Internet, get on the ID contained in the transmitted chip stored information. The new card will also be administrative procedures can make online purchases and banking transactions. Supposedly all this be voluntary. But as we know it already from the forced-line filing of tax returns over ELSTER, it will probably be only a matter of time before the use of the new ID card for electronic identification and processing of online payments is mandatory.

At first glance, all this sounds perhaps not quite so bad. But bearing in mind the time that it will then be a single chip that not only all our personal data but also data on our finances, our purchasing behavior, our administrative procedures, etc. are stored and can be automatically retrieved at any time. At some point, perhaps even join our health data, with the argument "? What's another chip, it's much more convenient if you have everything on a single card" The card is thus virtually all contain information that is about a person There.

In this age of data retention, online searches and internet censorship, it is likely for the ruling Law-and-order politician will be only a formality to pass a law that one any time call enables all of this data by state agencies. As usual, either due to alleged counter-terrorism, nebulous reasons of national security, preventive measures to prevent acts of violence or the persecution of Kinderpornograhpie. And all this topped with the usual argument killer who behave in law-abiding, who have also nothing to hide and nothing to fear.

In the recent past our ruling politicians have used every possible opportunity to create new mechanisms to store and monitor data from the entire population. And they are also used by various authorities heartily. About 80 plants for telecommunications monitoring, used by 38 authorities, show that it is this use does not represent individual cases (such as in the much vaunted fight against terrorism). Rather, a comprehensive monitoring of all citizens is increasingly becoming a reality.

The flood of data that is now to be stored on the new electronic ID card, opened in this respect new quality. All on one chip, all read at any time - and this is technically still without any problems, because it so inherently insecure RFID technology to be used. This makes it possible for the entire data of a person in passing by radio from the chip in his passport to read without his ever noticing it. By the way, in principle, not only government but also for advertisers and companies for any kind of tech-savvy criminals ...

already made against the introduction of the biometric passport, there was some public resistance. It has our law-and-order politician now apparently learned and are now trying make us the new identity card on the supposedly handy features tasty. The media have already jumped on this train, and report only in laudatory tones about the benefits of the new card. Life is supposed to be easier in future for all - it is easier, however, primarily to monitor fan and for those politicians and authorities who appear to have as much afraid of their own people like the old leadership of the GDR.

The new ID card is the basis of one of the biggest steps towards surveillance state dar. data on consumer behavior and financial transactions were previously included in any identification. Now the planned merger of all these data enables anyone can read of it at any time to create a complete personality profile that can be misused for any purpose. A crucial step on the way to the "transparent citizen"! Since it is then no further steps to scenarios in which, for example discredited witnesses in court by disclosing statements about her private life moral or the application is rejected for unemployment benefits because you are successful private fund of grandma sold attic on eBay.

the way, it would be too soon with the new technical possibilities and honest easy, unpopular citizens foist (for example, critics of the surveillance state) false information and thus to discredit - technically a small thing. For the individual citizen, it would in this case are extremely difficult to prove otherwise, because after the official version, the new technology is supposedly tamper-proof. We are moving in the direction already been a total state control over all aspects of daily life. Personal freedoms are increasingly limited. The new electronic identity card is perfectly suited to speed up this extremely dangerous development considerably!

new rationale for military service

In the currently applicable legislation there is really only one reason, the draft for military service to refuse to take effect. Article 4, paragraph 3, sentence 1 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany states: "No one shall be compelled against his conscience to render military service." need for recognition as conscientious objectors, the applicant credibly demonstrate that it would suffer irreparable psychological damage and break the personality, he should have to kill as a soldier, a man.

According to my information, it is next to it, however, in the 70s and 80s of the 20th Century have also been the practice does not draw people approached for military service, though it was had the satisfaction of their express our so-called "free democratic basic order" rejection stated. By the way, recognized community service according to § 26 Civil Service Law are explicitly bound to respect the "free democratic constitutional order." Obviously you put a value on getting protect this fundamental system of people who do not protect them.

Given the last few years constantly evolving demands for constitutional law, at least highly dubious military missions inside there should be I think in future a further reason for refusal: The applicant should be able to refuse military service, if he can not reconcile his conscience to be used potentially as a soldier in his own country against the free democratic basic order can.

One has only to see how today and in the past the police against peaceful demonstrators or other innocent citizens was going on and still going on, just trying to exercise their basic rights to free speech and free development of personality. I personally still quite columns of armored water cannons to mind, remember the optically very strongly of the famous images of China from Tiananmen Square. And although not from any anti-terrorist operations, but by actually peaceful demonstrations or even football games.

For example, the police had Lübeck Years ago, right in the middle of winter at a football game half a dozen water cannons ascended, although at the match was not the slightest threat. However, it would come to an intervention, it would have on innocent civilians at all times were life-threatening, not only by armored vehicles, but also by freezing as a result of indiscriminate gunfire with cold water - minus 7 degrees Celsius. Luckily had the water cannons in the half time break will be deducted from the stadium, probably because the water tanks were frozen.

This may Although at first glance may sound amusing. But we think this scenario but once more! If a deployment of the Bundeswehr inside is possible only once, how long will it then take some time before our paranoid politicians who already see the emergence of the false flags at their rallies as a threat to internal security, loudly calling for protection from set up allegedly possible riots the army to guard the cities and for controlling demonstrations?

is from this point is not it far more tanks in front of Parliament and heavily armed troops that accompany public demonstrations and the citizens their fundamental right to wish to exercise free speech, intimidated by their presence. And who knows, by turning point in this case, the first called on the commander and are the first dead demonstrators in the streets? In our "rule of law" impossible? Nope! Something very similar, we finally had in 1967 ever ...

During approach, therefore, our leaders not only in terms of censorship, but also in terms of anxiety to the people of our highly esteemed Chinese friends and business partners with large steps, I feel it time, the changed situation by changing the practice of the military service bill to , Who as long as there is no such thing as a "free democratic basic order" to protect you. Soldiers or conscripts must have the right to refuse to serve in the armed forces, if there is reason to fear that this could be used within the territory of the Basic Law set out basic rights.

How To Make Football Helmets Out Of Cake

Opt Out Day in Bielefeld - a total joke!

For today's 17th September, the Pirate Party called nationwide the so-called opt-out Day . The aim is to object to registration with the local authorities of submitting your personal data. Registration authorities have the right to personal data, such as address, birthday, religious denomination and marital status to pass on to third parties as long as you do not own and in writing expressly opposes. And this should now collectively take the form of concerted action. was for Bielefeld

been announced this morning that the meeting should take place at 17:45 clock before the Citizens' Advice. This time, in and of itself already represents a rather inappropriate time, because the Citizens' Advice is only open until 18:00 and in this short period probably no greater number of applications more could accept. Not to mention the fact that at this time of about 40 is not obviously on Opt-Out Day people were participating in the queue.

The meeting was officially announced but then as a pure joke. I was early around 17:30 clock before the Citizens' Advice. To 17:50 clock just appeared one other person. Pirates of the party itself was far and no one to see. So you made sure no visibility! We have therefore given the long queue for today rather abandoned. I will submit my form, if at some point I'm back to an earlier time in the city.

from the local pirate party I'm disappointed quite frankly, and I very much hope that the non-symptomatic for the organizational capacity of this party is at the federal level. How are they trying mitregieren a country (for that is what it is all about in politics!) When it is not even clear hinbekommt, for such action in time to announce an appointment and there will also together as a party to appear? In this way, generates only one additional politics! Now I know in any case not more, if I choose. Thank you ...

My 9 Month Old Swollen Gum

What is "low debt"?

Yet another interesting find about the strange way our law the issue of violence: in the Neue Westfälische place today is an article under the headline: lawyer is said to have abused his own child . I think the NW will not blame me if I quote here from that article, so that the sense of this blog entry is not lost if the text should disappear at some point in the archive.

"Unconventional methods of education should have applied a 47-year-old Bielefeld qualified lawyer in the course of 2006 with her then five year old son. Because the child did not like peas, should they him to eat blindfolded and stabbed with a fork in the hand have in order to force them to eat the unpopular vegetable. On another occasion, the woman her son [...] have beaten with a flagpole. In two other cases, it is said to have stabbed the boy with a fork in the neck and severely beaten with the hand against his forehead.

"The incidents have been known since the age of five a carer at the kindergarten that occurred through the abuse violations showed and told, by whom and for what purpose they had been done him. From the day care center director to addressed to the mother have the facts admitted, but played down. The police were informed, she knew the child. The boy is said to have repeated the information he had made in kindergarten. "

First, I am curious, what can drive a mother to her own child so harmed. For such conduct, there is no excuse in my eyes. It seems obviously not to be so, as if the mother, annoyed by the child to white heat, once "slipped his hand" would be. But in this article described coercive measures would have to constitute torture. As the NW can seriously dare to call something merely "idiosyncratic training methods," I do not want in your head - I find this formulation as playing it frightening!

disturbing still, however, is how the judiciary has dealt with this case: "" The prosecution brought the end of 2008 Bielefeld charges of abuse of wards and assault against the lawyer. Before a youth judge was now held in closed session the trial. Because the defendants exercised their right of silence used to have the need arise, listen to the son as a witness. "

Why? The article is quite clear of talk that the son has already done the kindergarten teacher to the Police have testified - and that the mother of the abuse had already admitted Why the Procedure must demand it, despite the clear facts that only a verdict is possible if the child again and again, a statement along with the rise of the associated Memories is expected is a mystery to me. The best interests of the child are certainly not conducive to such provisions. And so it came at the end, as it had come:

"" The boy is, like his three siblings, now in a permanent foster family. " Why do you think ...?! " The foster mother and the other those were the child's well-competent people believe that a witness statement disrupt the positive development of boys and would withhold consent to the hearing. The case against the mother was canceled due to low debt "

. Conclusion: In our legal system, it is obviously not possible pleadings, despite the clear facts someone as violent criminals, without torturing the victim unnecessarily. And if they torture the victim - who had testified in this case so long ago! - Saves to remain, the result is that the violent act (in spite of admissions were made, although not to the police or the court - obviously knows our legal system so witnesses first and second class) will remain totally unpunished.

Most scorn, however, the rationale for the setting: "low debt" ! If the debt as low because the victim is spared the agony of a re-statement? Where the debt is about low because the perpetrator of the statement denied? (Because otherwise it would have been yes but probably doomed.) Where the debt is less about the fact that the defendant is not entitled to their actions? Or reduced the debt about the fact that the trial for lack of lurid statements has not expired spectacular enough?

From the perspective of justice, we really live in a poor country, if such a farce of a process with such an absurd outcome is possible! Fortunately, that are virtually excluded in view of the biological age of the accused, at least in their personal risk of a repeat. The current ruling is expected on them otherwise hardly a particularly deterrence have had. And the perpetrators of violence in other families, it seems certain to be very calm: just go on as before, because if one considers only the snout, one in the end but nothing ever happens.

bag Tailoring in Bültmannshof

The Bültmannshof in Bielefeld currently advertises with "Bavarian weeks." Since I like to eat pork, I wanted my mother to do something good tonight and invite me to dinner. On the so-called "Bavarian" card is actually a "pork grilled with Bavarian cabbage" stands for 9.50 €. (Stands outside on the table with the daily specials also still something of a pork for € 10.80.) How, then, both have each ordered a pork and let us surprise you.

And this surprise has managed to Bültmannshof really! What we had was finally served, the meat content of about one-sixth the size of a normal Bavarian pork and to an almost completely bißfestigkeitsfreie consistency, which are known otherwise only durchgedrehtem chicken in fast food restaurants. My mother was the presence of mind to ask whether this would be perhaps an entirely new breeding of pigs, but the waiter did not understand anyway.

Some time later by an apparently higher-ranking employee (or was it perhaps even the boss of the house?) and us nosy declared that it would be of a suckling pig knuckles. is all well and good, but I think this is important information, but probably with the card so that you as a guest incorrectly has the idea that one of the already high price of pork would really get a proper. But only something that would go through in Bavaria at best as an appetizer plate.

has made any case, the Bültmannshof something I've never seen before and that might well have seen in Bavaria and never someone I have ordered a whole pork, and what I got, complete eaten - and I was still hungry afterwards! In fact, I'm going now once cook a decent dinner. And as for the Bültmannshof, I was (like my godmother put it generally cares) there tonight twice: The first and last time because I am not willing to put up with me, such a bag sewing again!

not defend Just!

whole world is discussing the case of the 50-year businessman who tried to protect in Munich to four children from a robbery and had to pay for his courage with his life. Politicians of all parties to exploit the incident during the election campaign for the most bizarre claims, mostly for even more useless Überwachunskameras for its monitoring at all no staff present. Moreover, given the fact that about 15 Gaffer's murder have stood idly by, repeatedly called for more civil courage.

But what happen if someone actually engages successfully helping, or if the victim of a brutal attack with him just means available to defend successfully against an aggressor is? As the case of a student shows, which last year was also attacked in Munich by Serbian thugs and dared to fight back ashamed, in such cases, our judiciary, just quickly, the principle of offender and victim to repent and thus to lead the justice ad absurdum.

Because he had violated the bat in self-defense seriously, the student to three years and nine months in prison for allegedly "attempted murder" was convicted. The competent jury saw it in his opinion the way, explicitly as aggravating circumstances in that he "repeatedly presented as an innocent victim" did. He also had to pay to the offender a sum of 12,500 € and apologize to him what I personally find to be particularly perverse.

Here is the full article from the Munich tz to the recent review of the verdict by the Federal Court. The offense of "manslaughter vesuchten" was not, however, called into question. Apparently, even the Federal Court of the opinion that they defend themselves against attackers must not, at least not with effective tools that could actually stop the attack. What we learn

it? Just do not fight! Who defends against attackers who must apologize behind in this, and pay them money for it is still in jail. In the opinion of the judge is allowed to be so well kill most resistance! The main thing, the whole incident is behind razor sharp enough captured on surveillance video, which can then be in prime time can send on television and political exploitation.

This conclusion can also be displayed the current case from Munich in a new light. If one could criticize the gawkers in the media really as much courage shown to assist the victim, and may have injured one of the culprits here, the helper will probably be sitting in jail while the perpetrators continue to roam freely and rob defenseless people. But apparently we live in a state of law ...

Comprehensive Occupational Health Management

measures workplace health management are usually divided into measures of behavioral and situational prevention. Among measures of behavioral prevention is understood as measures which have the change in health-related behavior of employees at the destination. situational prevention contrast, aims to shape the working conditions and tasks (conditions) so that they promote health-related behavior of employees while avoiding dysfunctional burden on employees. Although the behavioral prevention measures are implemented most often, it is believed that the focus should be the measures on the circumstances. After all, the underlying hypothesis: If the conditions are designed appropriately, follows health-enhancing behavior of employees more or less automatically.

Comprehensive Occupational Health Management aims to both workers, and - in the broadest sense - to consider the circumstances. The approach therefore not only the employees and the work task, the leadership and corporate culture. After a work psychological analysis and intervention model, the 5 x 5-effect model R. Wieland, reflects the culture of the framework for corporate health management. Work, leadership and behavior / attitudes of employees go as a customizable input variables in the model. As a process variable, the stress of employees is considered as output variables and complaints, absenteeism / presenteeism and performance can be considered.

In several studies that relate to this model, crystallized again and again the following variables to be particularly relevant out for the output variables:
  • Employees: health literacy (the conviction of employees, health problems independently effective to meet)
  • Visit: Employee-oriented leadership (the manager takes into account the needs of employees and seeks to gleichberechtitge and respectful relationship)
  • work: regulation disabilities (waiting times, failure, interruption, etc.)
  • stress: stress balance (difference between functional and dysfunctional stress)
Holistic measures of workplace health promotion should increase accordingly, at least the health literacy of employees and employee-oriented management and the regulation of disability . minimize

Both the project PACT (see below) as well as in studies I am involved in the exploration of the concept of holistic workplace health promotion, is being pursued by R. Wieland.

in an easily understandable description of the 5 x 5-effect model can be found such as BARMER Health Report 2009 .
