The show Wife Swap au RTL2 f t is a term probably almost every 10 days for two women share their lives with their families and environment, with all the ups and downs of this experience will be documented by camera.

Apart from the fact that the show is often quite amusing and entertaining, I would like to once again take up the cudgels for them, as I think you insights on the one hand into the human psyche and on the other hand, provides the mechanisms and principles of the current Fernsehuntehaltung than almost any other format . Sure, reactions to extreme situations such as in a jungle camp can be instructive and entertaining, but especially in family matters are fundamental attitudes, perceptions and response patterns and individual differences in this respect very much. Just educators and teachers, who are confronted with people from all strata and groups and must work with them, can win here valuable insights into the causes of deep-rooted patterns of behavior of its clientele.

School and learning in different parental homes

That's how you determined after studying only a few episodes that are recorded just as regards education and setting the family home compared to school and learn the difference. Clear that a "better home" more emphasis on education, they surely would suspect so, but you can get on the other hand, parents of "bottom" face, the school seems to be very important. However, almost always find significant differences in the approach to promoting their own offspring: While there may simply knitted people regularly forcing their children to learn and sometimes - apparently mostly the mothers, and only rarely by the drudgery or the Play Station stressed fathers - cramming together with them (so I'd like to call this Sturr queries within the meaning of "If you have twelve times six things, well, how much did you then?"), go intellectuals often quite different approach to this task: they tinker with their children go with them or walk through the woods and tell them in passing things you want to know the children in the process or find interesting. This "natural" learning to learn and satisfy the innate curiosity of children absorb knowledge like a sponge eager. Moreover, such activities are just kids to a balance that allows ever learn.

We see regularly intellectual mothers in the family of the housing estate in Wanne-Eickel almost missionary paint with the normally front of the TV hanging toddlers with finger paints, to demonstrate to the local family man, what's with his family in disarray. It is unfortunately all too often is a certain arrogance and a treat to watch from above by the intellectually superior sentient exchange mother.

The roles of respect intellectually inferior and is almost always directly at first. A point to go where the views are often extremely apart is the way time and again to hygiene. As disgusted one of the spots in the assigned bed, proclaimed as the others, how important cleanliness is, during the start Siff herabzutropfen from their kitchen cabinets. It seems, however, no direct relationship between cleanliness standards and intellect to give: we see the same bitch siffig Boller as the seemingly only in esoteric worlds beyond the normal everyday life reveling Reiki teacher.

Unfortunately, you also get some parents to face, obviously can not be bothered to have their children and "to party" by or "quiet times have had to" talk (after they had all afternoon mentally for their Play Station on the following for probably the have day pending job search preparation ). Of course there are also parents living in poverty, which their children are at the heart be tight. Sorry, there is often a total helplessness the problem. They seem to think that through constrained learning, academic performance of children are improving, and is surprised that the stress acting to children's interests have not yet appear to have been blessed with significant learning progress.

Arrogance and incompetence

For the intellectually superior, especially when we call them intellectuals half times, as has been said often observed a form of arrogance. What is missing is what is known in Buddhism as compassion: Rather than rise above the obvious problems and shortcomings of others, but it is just an intellectual obligation to look behind things, and the mechanisms, such as insecurity, helplessness, serious own childhood, etc. to identify which result is that some people can only live as they live halt.

Knowledge for teachers and Pädadgogen

For me as a teacher to help such scenes to understand why many children do in our schools is so difficult. Finally seems to be a big part of kids' disturbed energetic "to (at times here from the traditional Chinese medicine to quote derived approach in which all mental health disorders and the optimal state can be interpreted as interference in the flow of energy). Causes are the oppressive and unnatural living conditions in the home of the children or the model of energy also disturbed parents. An atmosphere that seems of mutual respect and equal rights (yes, I mean absolutely between parents and children as equal family members, at least in terms of certain things) seems to be rare among German roofs, as well as a healthy diet, in fact, even eating some of nature that were found is to be uncommon in many places (although some still actually believe that what is concocted from some canned food and spices is healthy, because it at least not the tangled on other days pre-fast food is).

All the talk about the bad results of any studies Pisa is usually past the root causes, which are looking for in my experience, that is only partly in school, but instead just described rather in the real life of local children.

What can you do? As parents there is nothing more important and more decisive, as a time for children to have and to devote attention relaxed. By the way, are thereby even the "worst" children most likely to calm and balanced, so that parents can ever come to this relaxed attitude. With such growing up children that works with the school, then probably all by itself, if ultimately not that children are perhaps due to the idea that one can compensate for a lack of potential through the hard work always just used the wrong type of school where they are swamped. Finally, do not make any high school, some are holding other things.

As a teacher it is important to work through their own balance to a balancing effect on these children and to them that exemplify what it at home does not seem to give.

Our TV

But now back to Wife Swap, because I still had the top of possible insights into how modern television entertainment talk. First, yes RTL2 decide on which exchange two mothers, two worlds collide So what should one another. They try to meet current stereotypes and to incite them. Since it also certainly not the whole 10 days gets shown, but only short excerpts, RTL2 selected course, aware of the reactions, the nation gets to see what is not. This alone may be artificially either one of these or maybe even a contrary impression created.

One wonders also what an exhibition on perhaps may now have within their limited horizons somewhat satisfied hinlebenden the right to swap mothers or their families, after having publicly shows how naive, uneducated, siffig, disgusting, lazy, inhuman or abnormal them in the eyes of others. But of course it is this form of voyeurism the secret of all these series: The audience does not want harmony, not conflict resolution see, but prefer the ruthless clash, preferably with the psychological destruction of the weak, what is being celebrated by RTL2 sometimes elegant .

One learns early in school, that behind the things of our world and mathematical laws are there are certain constant values, such as the speed of light, the mass of an electron or the strength of the fundamental forces such as gravity. First, this does not surprise one, after all, have any value, these constants. Even more surprising is that almost all of these constants, some with surprising accuracy just have to have this value, so that a universe can arise that is similar to ours, at least roughly. Would be about the strength of which our universe cohesive fundamental forces (gravity, strong and weak interaction in nuclear, electromagnetic force) and only a few percent stronger or weaker, so we can calculate taken that after the Big Bang, the evolution of the universe, a completely different course would have. After the emergence of matter in the form of atoms in our universe, there was such as to "clumps" due to the gravitational attraction between these particles, which ultimately ensured that more and more balls were of matter from which eventually formed the individual galaxies. With only slightly different constants all this mass would be available shortly after its formation due to attractive forces again collapses in on itself into a black hole or just keeps flying apart without forming lumps, so that today it would be nothing more than a dark universe ( no lump = no stars = no light) with at best some whirling particles.

The strange thing is thus the precision of the tuning of these parameters. In fact, the Universe must be exactly as it's just so in it at all can give rise to life. It seems like an extra set for the emergence of higher life forms as we do, this circumstance is "anthropic principle" called it. The question why this is so, leaving room for speculation: If a divine Creator created the world just for us? Or is this just a simple consequence of the existence of infinitely many parallel universes in a multiverse (which currently seems opinion among physicists to be common to most): there are so many parallel universes with all possible different parameters that inevitably somewhere, even one with us correct values ​​had to give, and this is ours, while most others are just empty and therefore there exists no one who can ask why his universe is just the way it is?
Or is our universe but only a computer simulation, the simulation argument by Nick Bostrom suggests?

Just about nutrition, there are seemingly a dime a dozen theories, and keep coming back to this completely different results: It was said often, margarine was better than butter, and eggs were unhealthy, they should eat as little fat or fat but, but the right one, etc.

What are we to believe now

I mean, to have recognized some trends to be right now, and have developed a sense of what is plausible and what is due to other interests. I decline hereafter to providing any sources or proof of my assertions. This would be easily possible, but as can be verified or refuted by the flood of information, opinions and counter opinions on the Web anyway all it does in the end nothing and only makes it difficult to read. Truth will ultimately give to the reader to intuitively recognize as such because of the inherent plausibility of the cover with his own experience.

Natural products are almost always good to avoid industrial products better

Food from the wild has not only nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, etc., but they are made and information that is ultimately in them the energy of the sun, the earth, save the water. Preserved industrial products lack this kind of energy often, they are dead, even though numerically the list of nutrients would be the same.

For this reason, the more "natural" product worlds better butter is healthier than margarine. That the latter is better, the result of decades of artificially generated a whole industry of lies. Although margarine is apparently a vegetable fat, but actually are vegetable fats usually liquid and must be artificially hardened, resulting in unhealthy trans fats, also found in margarine, a long list of other additives.

What I mean by energy and information, can be part way through scientific analysis scant. However, one must be aware that the current state of scientific knowledge, the meaning and function of several of the highly complex compounds in natural foods is still completely unknown. It is a wishful thinking, if one attributes of science more than they can afford in the current situation is. A similar situation in respect of medicine from the homeopathy: the active ingredients are concentrated so low that they should not really be effective. But what we know of the highly complex system of organism; länsgt least not as much as you think.

Olive oil is good

This is just like that. Best to take a high-quality oil, it probably protects against more than one can imagine. The same applies to certain other high-quality vegetable oils and fats (as long as they are natural, so just do not cured such as margarine). In regions where olive oil is mainly used to connect all the world-some diseases difficult.

Food, which tastes a

The belief that any theory of nutrition might tell you what you should eat in what proportions, is a misconception. Everyone is different, has different requirements, different needs, and also have different things at different times. But there are fortunately still an instance that one reveals what you need right now urgent and what is not: the appetite. Logically, however, that the body on it, where it lacks it just builds up real cravings. So we follow his desires, one would have the right thing automatically eat. That's true in principle, single hooks are alerdings the many flavors, which are found in food. Could my appetite for a special dish - say raspberries - are also satisfied by foods with artificial raspberry flavor, although the crucial ingredient in those of the raspberry, which my body needs just mentioned is not. So our natural flavors confuse regulatory system. But avoids foods that contain flavors, everything fits again. One can will taste the way with a little practice, artificial flavors easily identified as such and also detect whether a particular appetite for something has a natural or artificial origin.

Of course, this includes ability to sense to attention when one is fed and where the pure appetite begins, otherwise you can easily imagine the consequences.

Organic is good

Now In any case, all in organic form! Previously there was no bio, previously you needed hardly trillion past food products would have "naturally", today they often grow in greenhouses under glass, to the unnatural season on artificially fertilized soils are aufgepeppelt with poisons sprayed over with artificial flavors. Yuck! Even if it's more expensive, must take Bio. But I would rather do without an expensive vacation or an expensive car.

Steer clear of food supplements

In good natural food is in it alls, what you need. Unfortunately, low-quality food is to cook sometimes cheaper or faster. In this case easily arises the desire to still want to do something good for their health by simply taking the lack of health in the form of any pills or powders to be. This does not work. These preparations use in many cases nothing at all or can hardly be included in this Forrm, or they are downright dangerous. Overdose of vitamins fat löslichenn out in any event to be poisoning, and who knows what causes an artificial mix of such substances over time. I even noticed in some multivitamin juice, that tastes artificial and somehow I do not do well. Since I drink fresh orange juice to worlds best, and even if I would like to drink large quantities, comes to no feeling of disgust or nausea.

Lasagne - this delicious Italian pasta bake ... hmmm. I love lasagna in almost all variations. Anyone who has ever eaten lasagna knows, however, that it in detail but can taste quite different. The following recipe is for a particularly tasty lasagne which has not really tasted any like no one. It is from an old school friend, who was famous for just this lasagna.

So what is special about this lasagna? It is true that most standard ingredients in it, but also spinach, by the way, the sauce does not ultimately filling the usual red, but more brown (= green + red). Do not worry, I myself am not a super fan of spinach, it tastes good, but not before then. What is not in it, one ham. Then there is this unique brandy topping, and the delicious white sauce between the layers. So, who likes to eat or cook (or both) - just try it absolutely.

The recipe

Here is the recipe (officially as usual for 4 people)

Ingredients for the stew

2 tablespoons oil
2 onions
1-2 garlic cloves
500 g minced meat (half and half)
150 g frozen spinach
125 g mushrooms
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bunch herbs
125 ml white wine
Instant 125 ml broth
125 ml cream
Salt, pepper, oregano

Ingredients for Bechamel Sauce

45 g butter
45 g flour
175 ml cream
375ml milk
1 bunch chives
Salt, pepper, nutmeg

250 g lasagna â € "noodles
Parmesan cheese, brandy

Preparation

Onions and garlic (we take our special olive oil ) anschmoren, then brown the mince. Now comes the wine, broth powder (which I always dissolve the powder in a cup with hot water, small lumps do not matter), the tomato paste, mushrooms (fresh or chopped canned) and spinach (we now still frozen, which is portioned in such pellets, which can also be frozen as they are in the pan). Then, even the cream and season (I assume as a starting amount of 2 teaspoons of salt) and herbs (oregano, thyme, then another, then another ...) to give.

Bechamel sauce

Butter at not too high heat, melt, then gradually add the flour. In the end this gives more or less one big lump which is then extinguished with milk (add water little by little), then the cream. The sauce should now look normal thick. Then again boil something, it will anyway not all. Of spices salt, pepper, and - very important for me! - Muscat (which we freshly grind with a mill). Chives or pure, that's it.

On the pasta is usually that no pre-cooking is necessary. However, the hard throwing pasta sheets in the baking pan so the finished lasagna is often very "al dente" to places still quite hard and dry. So I put the individual pasta plates previously for several minutes in warm water (where the plates rotate relative to each other and sometimes a little move, because the pasta sticking together easily).

Optimal, when several people these steps - cook stew, make white sauce, pasta water - can make parallel, otherwise I would only cook the stew, then give the noodles into the water and then prepare the bechamel sauce, the stew that is as long leave on low heat.

Now we need a suitable form of ceramic or glass, which is previously greased with butter. It takes a total of five layers of pasta (ie number of platters by five parts for one shift). Below are purely noodles, about a third of the white sauce. Then noodles, then half of the stews, pasta again, second third of the white sauce, pasta, other half of sauce, noodles, and the last layer is white sauce. In addition now comes grated Parmesan (preferably fresh, if you like him, quiet cover the whole surface with it). To top off some small knobs of butter and two or three tablespoons of brandy.

The form is now for 30 minutes in the preheated oven to 175 degrees. I take a glass dish with lid (to prevent dehydration especially in circulation, but it also works without) that I pick up the last 5 minutes, then turn the still top heat, brown the surface to be beautiful.

This can serve French bread, salad and red wine. Good appetite.
