We create the media management, marketing and communication of the future
From blockchain to virtual reality to artificial intelligence, media and marketing managers are helping to shape future trends.
To ensure our students become visionary leaders in these areas, as well as subjects such as big data, Internet of Things, transnational PR, voice marketing and programmatic advertising, UE has designed a degree that will provide them with expert knowledge that helps them stay ahead of their competitors.
By the time they graduate, our students have the competencies and leadership skills needed to work at an international level. Additionally, they'll have well-founded interface knowledge in business administration/economics, media, communication and management competence.
Practice-oriented work with media tools developed from the first semester
Individual support in small groups and in a family atmosphere
Optimal career prospects through freely selectable in-depth modules
Exclusive practical projects with partners from media management, business (from medium-sized companies to international corporations) non-profit organisations, agencies
Semester abroad to deepen international competences
Renowned lecturers from science and practice
Research options through current tasks of the lecturers and the cooperation partners from practice (e.g. bachelor thesis projects)
High and diversified employability due to a visionary and differentiated curriculum concept
All locations have modern technology in the form of TV and radio studios as well as TV cameras and electronic reporting equipment.
Our study programmes at UE are NC-free (numerus clausus). We believe that a one-off, subjective grading should not influence your entire life planning. What counts for us, is a passion for your future profession, motivation and enthusiasm. That's why we select our applicants for the Digital Media & Marketing degree programme on the basis of the results of an entrance test, regardless of their previous school gradings. Our low dropout rate, which is far below the national average, shows that this concept has proven its worth. As a state-accredited university, our students are entitled to BAföG (governmental study funding) both in the Bachelor and Master programmes.

Studying at the UE in Germany
We put emphasis on internationality. That's why we were ranked as "one of the best 25 international universities worldwide" (U-Multirank 2016). Our many international students come from all over the world to pursue a highly valued (state and FIBAA recognised) German degree that is entirely taught in English. We are also ranked as one of the top ten performers in the Business Studies category in universities in Germany in 2018 (U-Multirank 2018).
Germany, known as the country of innovators, the largest economic power and the centre of high tech and automotive technologies in Europe, the perfect place to get your degree. Additionally, Germany is a particularly safe and liveable country with relatively low tuition fees and affordable living costs. Furthermore, Berlin is known as Europe's start-up capital, a magnet for creatives, and "the place to be" for young people and entrepreneurs.
That's why we encourage international students to come here and study with us. You can apply with your national school degree now. We will then take a look at your application and guide you through the process.
The programme - courses, internships, semester abroad
Marketing and media managers must cover a wide range of skills in their future profession. Therefore, in addition to the core disciplines of internal and external communication and marketing, the Bachelor's programme teaches a broad spectrum of economic knowledge from the fields of business administration and media economics, micro and macroeconomics, accounting, the basics of statistics and business law. Students also learn methods of market research, writing press releases and creating media-usable content - from video and photos to text and audio - as well as the corresponding handling of content management systems.
In addition, students prepare themselves for a managerial position - this includes lectures in the fields of corporate management, strategic planning, project management and crisis communication, but also mediation techniques. In addition, students are trained in how they can accompany the digital transformation.
As virtual concepts are becoming more important in many industries, the latest virtual possibilities in the Virtual Reality study course enable students to design and realise projects for media and marketing-related content.
A semester overseas is an integral part of the fourth semester of studies. Thanks to our wide-ranging university network with currently more than 40 partner universities, we offer students on all five continents the opportunity to spend a semester abroad. Within Europe, it is possible to participate in Erasmus+, with which students can secure a monthly grant during their studies abroad.
Specialisation & Degree
In the in-depth studies (the last two semesters), students independently choose specialisations which they tackle until graduation. These modules range from courses in Entrepreneurship (founding start-ups) to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Moderation in Radio & TV.
In accordance with the comprehensive course contents, graduates are offered a wide range of career opportunities when they start their careers. Our courses of study are FIBAA accredited and thus state-recognised - graduates receive a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) after completing their studies.
Excursions and practical projects
In contrast to public universities, we place particular emphasis on teaching all our courses with a practical orientation. That is why both parts of the Communications Management course and the Media Management course include several practical projects. All our locations are equipped with the latest technology and offer students free access to the campus' own Virtual Reality Lab, radio & TV studio and Social Media War Room during their studies.
A variety of excursions, from visits to local companies, editorial offices, TV stations and news agencies to joint trips to destinations abroad, are also part of the study programme.
Last but not least, in addition to regular interdisciplinary workshops for students, our locations offer many different events, from readings to information events, exhibitions and vernissages.

Why study Digital Media & Marketing?
After years of many people's study and career decisions being based on the principle: "The main thing is to study something with media", the media landscape in Germany is now incredibly diverse and innovative - but unfortunately not always economically viable. In the past, corresponding degree programmes usually focused exclusively on the creative part of media production and sometimes completely neglected the business aspect. In the meantime, however, it has become apparent that many creative professionals are denied leading positions in the economy due to a lack of economic insight and commercial experience.
The Digital Media & Marketing degree programme trains students with the aim of combining the creative potential of typical media professions with knowledge of economic conditions and processes, planning ability and business management. Thus, after completing their Bachelor's degree, they become all-rounders in their field and are able to adapt flexibly to various positions as well as take on a leadership role. After all, anyone who wants to successfully enter the media industry must by now not only study communication or media science but become a manager instead of only mastering partial aspects and understanding each medium in its entirety. The range of tasks extends from competence in communication (which also includes knowledge of communication design, media design and media technology) to business studies and digital business, as well as aspects of journalism and public relations.
Students talk about their studies in the #uestories
"The particularly pronounced international orientation and the teaching in English and German make the UE what it is".
Dominika chose the University of Europe for Applied Sciences because of the many opportunities it offers. And: during her studies she got to know herself anew. Why does she tell here.
Tuition fees and funding
As a private university, the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is funded not by the state, but by tuition fees. For this reason, studying at University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) costs more than at a public university. But it's worth it:
Our graduates meet the essential requirements of careers in business, and this sets them apart from the graduates of many public universities. Your employment and earnings prospects are greatly improved.
All tuition costs are included in the monthly tuition fee. No additional costs will be incurred, such as a matriculation fee, exam fees, a bachelor thesis fee or similar, as long as the course is completed within the standard study period.
The costs for the semester abroad are not included in these fees, as there are substantial differences depending on country and university.
We are happy to provide you with more information on funding your studies and on any available scholarships. If you have any further questions, our Student Guidance Office can provide you with detailed information.
You can apply a year in advance for your desired starting semester.

Genre RomCom
Description: "Love blows"
A newlywed man who believes he's just gotten hitched to the perfect woman encounters another lady on his honeymoon.
Comments: The horrible crude scenes leave a bad taste and overshadow any funny scenes. I think the Farrelly Brothers wanted to recapture the success of "There's Something About Mary" -- but they've flopped hard.
The universe of "Mary" was completely wacky and any naughty parts just fit into that universe. This one feels like there were too many screenwriters tinkering with it. (5 are listed). Someone wrote a mainstream romantic comedy script -- then someone else (The Brothers, I'm guessing) came along and just stuck in gross shocking bits.
It's very uneven. It loses steam in the third act. Has a very unsatisfying and unpleasant ending. Carlos Mencia is obnoxious. Ben is looking too old to be playing these parts. Meanwhile, the girls still look 25.

A few weeks ago, Stride & Saunter ran into some technical difficulties on Apple Podcasts/iTunes and vanished altogether. As a personal endeavor, this was a frustrating time. But more importantly, it led me to reflect more thoroughly on the status of the show, the nature of the intimate connections afforded by podcasts and the value of asking for specific help from those around you. A shorter and different episode than you might expect, but we'll be back to regular episodes next week.


Roop Chitra Of Lifespaces Co.
My entrepreneurship teacher actually motivated us a lot and made his students to dream big rather being slaves of corporates why not to utilize your full potential on building something of your own? These words motivated me to build something of my own.
I have started this venture almost four months back along with my studies. About my business, basically it is an online venture named "Lifespaces Co". It deals with home decor items, the current focus is on manufacturing such products that are missing from Pakistani local market and very unique in nature. The two most famous products are "Hollywood Style Vanity lights" and "Acrylic Trunks''. Instead of importing and selling it at higher prices, we manufacture everything here and sell at reasonable rates.
In 5 to 10 years I see Lifespaces bringing concept of "Green Interiors" in Pakistan. The minimalist culture is spreading rapidly all around the world. Looking at overly decorated homes have always stressed me out. I believe The more stuff you own, the more your stuff owns you. The less we consume, the less damage we do to the environment.
The Pakistani culture is still into "Wood Carved furniture" which is more expensive-not only that-Pakistan is already facing consequences of deforestation. While our venture aims to manufacture simpler, unique, still elegant and more reasonable products compared to wooden furniture.
The thing I love most about entrepreneurship is that it never gets boring. Every day, you get to learn and experience new things. Most importantly you are independent.
It is just four months that I have started this venture and we are already supplying i.e Vanity lights in bulk to leading makeup studios of Pakistan.
In my current project, I will be launching soon Acrylic home decor items that is inspired from Modern Decor ideas. In future, I am looking forward to open a store and work on "Green Interiors".
I started with selling fairy lights now supplying my items in bulk. It does not matter that to start a business you need out of the box idea. Great things start with simplest products. Don't focus on making profits in short run rather make strong customer base. Things that you build, end up building you. Therefore, your customers are always an investment.


Muncie Community Schools confirmed Sunday evening on its Facebook page earlier plans to resume school on Monday.
The announcement said that the daily schedule for elementary students was going to be adjusted every day this week, dismissing buses a little earlier.
Elementary students who ride a bus will be dismissed at 2 p.m. Students who are picked up will be dismissed at 2:15 p.m. Students who walk home from school will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m.
This change to the schedule comes after the district had busing problems last Wednesday, the first day of school, and subsequently canceled school Thursday and Friday while officials worked on a better transportation plan.
Muncie Community Schools will be back in session tomorrow Monday, August 7th.
Please visit each school's website for all transportation information, such as updated bus numbers, routes, and the names of the bus drivers. These files are going to be uploaded within the next hour.
Elementary parents, in order to have adequate time for student's dismissal, elementary students who ride the buses will be dismissed at 2:00 pm, students who are picked up will be dismissed at 2:15 pm, and students who walk will be dismissed at 2:30 pm. We will continue this during the rest of this week. Elementary students will be as much as a half hour early in being dropped off after school next week.
Thank you for your patience as we work on the safety of our children.


Advertising is known as a necessary wicked in the website creation world : especially upon blogs, exactly where it is thought to be one of the main cash flow streams. Nevertheless , too many advertisements or raucous and flamboyant ads definitely will frustrate your visitors and cause you to lose organization. Analyze your ads just like a hawk; if perhaps they bother you possibly in the slightest, they will undoubtedly do the same to your visitors. Shell out extra focus on pop-ups. Whilst they're generally making a comeback, be certain they're easy to close not full-screen size. Always keep your target audience and company image in mind in every step of the design process ~ from likely to post-launch evaluation. If you can get back together the two, you'll have a beautiful internet site that is a testimony to their excellent quality about your business. If you (digitally) build that, they'll come.

What $94 Million Would Do in San Diego Instead of Paying for a 401k Program
by Source on February 8, 2012 · 3 comments
in Economy, Labor, San Diego
by Jared Quient / Two Cathedrals / February 8, 2012
I am all for pension reform. Clearly our city's budget needs work and we need to do something. But just because I believe the system is broken and it needs fixing doesn't mean I support the Comprehensive Pension Reform (CPR) ballot measure that Carl DeMaio and his allies has been trying to sell me for the past year. Because once you look closer at CPR, it reveals itself to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
CPR is being sold to San Diego voters as the answer to our city's fiscal problems, and the centerpiece of CPR is a provision that transitions all new employees from a defined benefit pension to a 401k individual retirement plan. Proponents claim that passing CPR and making the switch over to 401k plans for new employees will save the city billions of dollars. But that's a fair bit of creative license.
All indications are that CPR is very popular. And when you first hear about the signature piece of the measure, it sounds reasonable. City employees should receive similar benefits to what people get in the private sector, proponents will argue. Sounds fair, right? But what proponents don't tell you is that changing over to a 401k actually costs the city a significant amount money.
As Liam Dillon pointed out last June, by passing CPR, San Diegans are voting to spend $94 million over the next five years to implement the 401k program.
94 million dollars that could keep firefighters on duty and police officers on patrol.
94 million dollars that could help keep libraries open for longer hours across the city.
94 million dollars that could go to fix streets and help maintain our city's crumbling infrastructure.
Mr. DeMaio knows that the less the public knows about the measure, the more likely it is to pass. And by suggesting that the 401k is integral to pension reform, DeMaio and his allies are being disingenuous. In reality, the 401k provision will actually make it harder for the city to pay its pension costs in the short term.
Further, very little of the billions of dollars in projected savings comes from the 401k provision: 87% the savings in CPR comes from the freezing of pensionable pay, a separate provision in the measure that has legitimately earned consensus support.
Not only does the switchover cost the city significantly in the short term, its long-term savings numbers aren't even guaranteed. Plus, it presents a major challenge for the city in how it deals with Social Security for its employees.
So what can we do about the gap between myth and potentially devastating reality that will head to the voters in four months?
We can fight CPR tooth and nail and try to beat it in June on its merits. But we're already behind.
Or we can present voters an alternative to CPR. It's not too late. Councilmember Alvarez floated such an alternative last week, a competing ballot measure that takes the core reforms of CPR but leaves out the reckless 401k provision. He officially released it yesterday.
I think we can do both, and we need to do both. CPR is a bridge too far and as a result, it's bad policy. And San Diegans should stand up and say so. But we should also provide voters with our own version of what a fix should look like – a reasonable alternative to the radical changes DeMaio is pushing.

Click here for an eWEEK Labs walk-through of using jQuery in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
However, that has changed as well. In September, Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president for Microsoft's .NET Developer Division, announced on his official blog that from now on Visual Studio will have full support for jQuery.
In this article, I'm going to take the jQuery aspects of Visual Studio for a spin and see what I find. I ran my tests on a Satellite U305 system powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, with 2GB RAM, running Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2008 and Internet Explorer 7.

UK nationals (and many others) are required to have a visa in order to be able to enter Kenya. Whilst it is possible to get a visa on arrival in Kenya, it really doesn't make sense to leave it until then, unless you like spending the first part of your holiday standing in a queue. It's a much better idea to get your Kenya visa online before you travel, which is what we've done for our trips. So much more convenient, and there's nothing quite like that smug feeling when you breeze through the checks at the airport. They usually only take a day or two to arrive, and there's no paperwork to fill in as it's all done online. Definitely the best way to start your holiday off on the right foot.
You've just been rewarded with an upgrade to business class on your international flight, but when you've finished celebrating about all the extra baggage you can now bring, just remember that if you're flying between bush camps, those planes are tiny. With luggage weight restrictions to match! Generally it's a mere 15 kg per person, which if you're anything like us with considerable amounts of camera gear, will only leave you enough room for a couple of pairs of clean pants, and little else. You have been warned.
Malaria is something you don't mess around with, so make sure you seek professional medical advice about the current risk of malaria in the areas you will be visiting, to determine whether or not you need to take anti-malarial tablets. But don't panic. Malaria is far less prevalent than it once was, and as each year goes by the big scary red patches on the map shrink even more. Whether or not you decide you need anti-malarials, it's always a good idea to keep covered up at dawn and dusk, and take some anti-mozzie spray if you wish. Citronella-based sprays are far more friendly to the environment so perhaps consider those rather than the good old deet products.
In fact sometimes it's flipping freezing. If you're on safari the first game drive of the day will begin very early (so early in fact that the stars will still be twinkling and you'll seriously be considering staying in bed rather than having the experience of a lifetime), whilst the final game drive will often trundle home in the dark. Hopefully to a roaring campfire and steaming mugs of something strong enough to get you warmed up. Sure, during the day it's definitely shorts, t-shirts and sun cream kinda weather, but for these colder parts of the day, you'll be wrapped up in fleeces, blankets, and maybe even cuddling a hot water bottle out in the jeeps, whilst wishing you'd brought hat and gloves.
Jambo – Hello/How are you (you'll hear this a lot).
You might think that a safari holiday to Kenya is expensive, but actually, it's more affordable than you may realise. Don't forget that the cost generally includes everything from your accommodation and food to game drives and other bush activities, and sometimes internal flights too. So you rarely have to spend a penny whilst you're actually out there, and if you're wondering how much does it cost to go on safari remember that there's no single answer. There are accommodation options available to suit pretty much all budgets, from group trips in tented camps to private safaris at high end lodges.
Visitors are required to carry some form of ID with them at all times. According to the Foreign Office at time of writing, a photocopy of your passport is usually sufficient, but recently some officers have been reported to ask to see the original document.

About AirLabs
Bus company installs air cleaning technology to protect drivers from COVID-19
AirLabs now developing technology to protect passengers on public transport
Plymouth Metrolink (Minnesota) installs AirLabs' AirBubbl air cleaning devices in 100% of buses to cut risk of driver exposure to COVID-19.
AirLabs now developing technology to remove airborne virus particles from the passenger cabins of public transit – first units due by the end of 2020.
Both technologies can play a major role in reducing the risk of airborne transmission on public transit.
Plymouth Metrolink (Minnesota) has become the first bus company in the United States to install air cleaning devices across its entire operational bus fleet, in order to protect its drivers from the risk of airborne transmission of coronavirus.
The company has installed 44 AirLabs AirBubbl air cleaning devices in the driver section of their buses. The AirBubbl filters more than 95% of airborne viruses and contaminated particulate matter and floods the vehicle with over 30,000 liters of clean air every hour, to keep drivers safe.
AirLabs, the UK-based company behind the AirBubbl device, is now finalizing a new air cleaning device for the passenger cabins of public transportation, including bus and rail. AirLabs AiroSafe is designed to remove airborne virus particles from the passenger cabins of public transport, by creating a personal clean air zone for every seat.
The company aims to install the first AiroSafe units by the end of this year and is setting up a Public Transport Consortium to work with world-leading bus and rail operators to bring it to market.
AirBubbl and AiroSafe can play a huge role in getting passengers back into work and school, reducing the risk of airborne transmission of coronavirus on mass transit. With 50% of Americans saying that they are afraid to go back to the office when it re-opens due to health concerns, the technology could play a key role in reassuring the public that it is safer to travel.
Marc Ottolini, CEO, Airlabs, said: "As stay-at-home orders have eased across the US, the focus now shifts to how we can get back to business safely.
"There is clear evidence that this virus can be transmitted through the air and that the dose matters – more exposure can lead to more severe illness. Our air cleaning technology can massively reduce this dose and cut the risk of infection for drivers and, soon, passengers.
"Our technology has huge potential to increase confidence in public transportation and we are collaborating with some of the world's leading mass transit companies to demonstrate how our AiroSafe technology can enable buses, subways and trains to return to full capacity safely."
The AirBubbl devices have been installed as part of a range of measures implemented by Plymouth Metrolink to protect drivers and passengers throughout the pandemic, including temperature checks and evaluations for drivers, additional disinfecting measures for buses, fewer passengers and a requirement for everyone to wear masks.
Nur Kasin, Transit Administrator, City of Plymouth, said: "Throughout the pandemic, Plymouth Metrolink has implemented a range of safety measures across the system to keep rider safety at the forefront.
"Metrolink safety measures include installing additional cabin air filtration (AirBubbl devices) in the driver section of all of our buses – healthy drivers means healthy passengers."
AirLabs has had global interest in its air cleaning devices from businesses around the world that are looking to protect their employees and customers in response to COVID-19.
Aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2
A leading group of over 200 scientists wrote to the World Health Organization this summer to call for greater acknowledgement of the role of airborne spread of COVID-19 and the need for governments to implement control measures.
Members of the World Health Organization's technical committee have said that 'evidence is emerging' around the airborne transmission of the virus and published an updated scientific brief on the topic in early July.
Coronaviruses such as the one that causes COVID-19 are spread via respiratory droplets produced by infected persons when they cough, sneeze, talk or breathe. While larger droplets quickly fall out of the air, smaller droplets persist as aerosols. Smaller aerosol particles are of concern because they may stay in the air for longer, travel further and be able to penetrate further into the respiratory tract when inhaled, according to a recent study by the UK's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
AirLabs has published a white paper on reducing exposure to airborne viruses using air filtration systems. It sets out the evidence behind airborne virus transmission and how air filtration can effectively remove bioaerosol particles.

During the 2013 we started the organic process of certification. Starting from the 2014 we decided to started to use some biodynamic practices. We believe that a better quality of soil can give good results on our wines. Here are some photos of the practices that we are currently putting in place including green manure, composting and the use of the horn-manure to aid fertilization.
The horn-manure is sprayed on the ground to increase the humus content, improving root development and plant nutrition. This preparation is distributed after being "dynamic" ( mixed in a certain method and for a certain time).

Good discussion on end credits
February 25, 2005 Film Industry
The Artful Writer currently has a vigorous dicussion about end credits for contributing writers that many readers may find interesting.
Here's the situation. Currently in American movies, screenwriters are listed in the opening credits, with the wording "Written by," "Screenplay by." or "Story by." (Check here for what these terms mean.) These screen credits are meant to denote the "author" of the script. In cases where there are multiple writers, arbitration is often involved to determine who should receive what credit — if any.
Under the current system, a writer who's spent several months working on a given film may find her name is nowhere on the final product. Is that reasonable, considering the guy who drove the catering truck is listed? (Before you send angry emails: yes, catering's important, and so are drivers. But they don't shape the movie you see on screen.)
For years, there's been discussion about including a list of contributing writers in the end scroll — writers who may not have done enough work to receive real writing credit, but nevertheless contributed. Personally, I like the idea, but I certainly understand other writers' objections. Does it diminish the perceived authorship of the front-credit writer(s)? Possibly. On the whole, is it worth it? In my opinion, yes.
You can find a range of other opinions here.

I've spent the last few days covering dimension tables, but I should briefly mention that there are three types of fact tables as well. The first is the kind most will be familiar with, a transactional fact.
These are straightforward, every time an event occurs in your transaction system, a copy of that event is made in the fact table. Someone sells a product, or updates an inventory record, or some similar event occurs it's reflected in your transaction fact table. Predominately your warehouse will be made up of these types of tables.
Often times your users will want to be quickly able to reference data that's aggregated over time; sales to date, sales per week, and so forth. To make getting to these totals fast, the second and third types of fact tables are known as snapshot tables. In addition to speeding the return of data to the user, it also reduces the load on the server as totals are aggregated at one time instead of each time the user runs a report.
The first of the snapshots (which is also the second type of fact table) is called a periodic snapshot fact table. At some defined point in time, a job will run that will aggregate the transactional fact data and place it into the periodic snapshot fact table. Perhaps every Saturday night at midnight a job runs which tallies up the previous weeks sales into a sales for the week fact table. Another classic example is the month ending totals after accounting closes out the business month.
The other type of snapshot, and the third type of fact table, is an accumulating snapshot. An accumulating snapshot is constantly being updated, instead of waiting for some point in time. Perhaps you have a trigger on the transaction sales table. Whenever a sale is made, that trigger updates the sales to date table.
Accumulating snapshots have the advantage of always being up to date and accurate. If you have a lot of them, or the transaction tables that they are based on have frequent updates, they can become a major drain on your system resources. For that reason it's best to limit, to use them with transaction tables that are seldom updated. Let's take two examples to help illustrate.
In an average car dealership, I'd guess that they might sell four cars a day. Since the transaction volume is so low, four a day, an accumulating snapshot would be entirely reasonable to track sales to date.
On the other hand, let's look at a large site like woot.com, that deals with hundreds if not thousands of sales in a very short time span. In their case, an accumulating snapshot would be a major drain on system resources. Instead they would be much better served by a periodic snapshot.
A periodic snapshot, by the way, isn't limited to a once a week or once a month situation, even though that's how they are primarily used. You could update your periodic snapshots once a day, once an hour, or even once every 10 minutes if your server could support it. The "periodic" simply means that it runs on a regular schedule rather than constantly.
In addition to your transactional fact data, you should review your reporting needs to see if either of the two types of snapshots, periodic or accumulating, could be of use in your warehouse to speed data reporting and reduce the load on your servers.
I just love a cool classic car like a convertible Cutlass. I see them all the time in movies and TV now.
