Humankapital

Humankapital is a term that is often used in Business Administration.  It refers to the value of employees in a company.

There are different ways of using it and thus calculating that value.  One way means the amount that an employee costs, eg. their salary, telephone, computer, insurance.

Used positively, it can refer to the value that an employee has because of their knowledge and motivation.

Mike Cliffe-Jones on Lanzarote

Many German tourists will have visited the island of Lanzarote this summer. During our own holiday we recorded a short series of podcasts with British ex-pats who live there.

We met up with Mike Cliffe-Jones, at the Puerto del Carmen offices of his company ¡Estupendo! We talked to him about his book „Living in Lanzarote“, about moving to the island and the services that his company offers. We also talked about his connections with Germany and touched on a few of his favourite things…

The White Tower of Bad Homburg

The White Tower in Bad Homburg

The White Tower in Bad Homburg

Our last visit to a tower in this summer took us to Bad Homburg where we visited the White Tower (Weißer Turm). The tower is located in the middle of the castle, and it took us a while to find the right entrance and then where to get the key from.

Once we had the key, we had the tower almost to ourselves. The tower contains a museum so that rather than just climb to the top, you can read about its history at different levels on the way up.

Currently the tower costs 1EUR for adults and 50 cents for children to enter. The car park “Schloß” near the entrance and most of the buses that go through the town stop nearby.
