He asked me if i wanted to travel we started off writing to each other but i couldnt be bothered with that so we met up pretty quickly and found we had a lot in common we got together and immediately started planning a trip away. Dirt on this one advantage is that it makes you less shy and if you have a match than the guys interested in and you dont have this difficult moment where you wonder should i talk to him is he looking at me does he already have a girlfriend on the internet you can read his profile barrage of. Ads. On line dating caught on in the Gay Community long before it became popular among heterosexuals. Many people say it makes finding a partner a lot easier. They were it can be quite intimidating you know to go to a bar or club or whatever people can be you know a little bit harsh sometimes about what kind of bodies you have or what your here is like what you look whatever. So it can be a bit odd mental sometimes. And yeah its nice just have a way to meet people outside of that. Yeah i mean obviously you dont get to know them before you meet them but you see their photos you see what theyre into and maybe you can chat a little bit and theres maybe that i guess theres less pressure. On line dating has triggered something of a gold rush mentality among service providers. Denmark to. Start off on you when the market is currently thriving thanks to tender and other websites that get people into Online Dating early on even when they still have an active social life and dont actually need them it was in a few weeks and. Then that the other end of the spectrum the technology has become more accessible and here to watch this so many older people are surfing the net now to take on their i pads and someone in a so you have more users signing up there too. This woman shelled out several hundred euros to receive partner suggestions online users often have to sign up for six months or longer. But this customer abandoned the project after just a few weeks following a number of frustrating dates in cafes. This from their National Living i found it very fast moving you can easily misunderstand people but its somehow not so romantic im sure some get lucky and it works out but i miss the beauty of the moment. The mention heightened fears. When you always have to be reachable in reply when youre busy with your job and youre already struggling to keep up with your friends on sunday theres Something Else to fifteen pound i think thats why it didnt work for me but thats ok. So our customers who fail to find a partner but for business. Of course the customers who do find a partner are important to us its going to mean thats what boosts our reputation and. Read through our ratings thats what our users say. You have to be realistic especially later in life it takes a little longer to enter into and develop relationships. Mom. And whats the fix thats right. It seems a lot of experience to one or two was boring but really only one or two otherwise it was always interesting and always fun. Some ended up as a longer term relationship but i havent met my dream it. Was still planning a trip we got together we went travelling for four months and we really got to know each other. Shes been with her partner now for three years the two friends certainly happen overcorrected by taking their search for love online. Lets discuss the business of matchmaking with psychologist your first fun topic thank you very much for coming in so customers a spoiled for choice what should what does a company need to do to ensure that those customers dont just switch apps or go to another Online Dating service so they have to present you a good partner in fact thats a point but thats a problem if your platform does not provide you the right partner so there are all the time working on better algorithms on a better match making and as well. In providing you special benefits. For instance being a good coach for flirting situation. For the real life situation when you meet your partner provided. By your partner so the past be good but if its too good they lose their customer but at the same time losing a customer in this sense is good because it brings more customers and shows that this app is successful is that what you say thats right what about the algorithms that they use a really good they really that good at finding your future good and finding a good. Match just by using a lot of question about you your personal life what your interests and what your life what you dislike but its not very important that theyre in the metric sands very precise so its very easy in fact very easy for platforms to build those algorithms course its not important to know to know a lot about psychometric matchmaking and all of the dot of that is collected should we worry about that as consumers that i think its been the eye of a of the customer if he trusts the provider of his matchmaking can become an addictive type of Business People well i think there are people that now people who have a very large motive for affiliation and for finding new people nope new partners i think for these for these people to be a bit addictive and the stigma that used to be attached to Online Dating has that disappeared yes its disappearing more and more so today were not talking openly about that but we have seen before that many many two of three couples have found online and if youre asking your friends and your peers you will hear a lot of people that found matched at those Online Platforms there is another option in the dating world us back to you in a moment first of all the mocking aspect of this because an emotional buy will bring the best reserve best returns but what price can you put on love apps that connect people a booming and though some say Online Dating takes the romance out of meeting for the first time it does make it more efficient. On line dating romance or profit. Laina is a thirty two year old Fashion Designer shes successful well off and had took in around two hundred fourteen Million Euros day last year old wide it was more than four billion. Laina is spoilt for choice there around two thousand five hundred german language dating platforms offering various services this casual dating for just four year as a month spontaneous meet ups arranged via the app with no Strings Attached thats not for lena. She signs up for a dating agency which at forty euros a month is ten times more expensive she sets up a profile with her photo a job and hobbies and starts to search lana meets five men in three days like many other people she chooses a cafe for the days when his heart is racing but thats just from the coffee mr wright wasnt among them. So she turns to a professional Matchmaking Agency that costs four hundred fifty euros for six months she has to answer fifty questions about her personality in the background specialists psychologists and computer programs pick out suitable candidates one of the picks is lucas. Hes an internal intelligent and funny his messages to him contain no spelling mistakes which is a big plus. But when they made it turns out lucas has another two dates and wants to see what happens lana has to be patient. That makes her provide a happy though because if things dont work out should extend her subscription. Lynas optimistic after all every third marriage in europe now begins as an online romance. Thats quite a lot but others online romances. Long term one so these people these couples saying together yes we know from research matt using those matching algorithms is very good for long lasting relationships we know as well that if the man decides about the match it is not better than throwing a coin and bit better if the woman decides about the match but the best is to use algorithms when it comes to this business is it actually peeking is there more growth in it or are we starting to see people turn back to traditional ways of getting to actually kind of play if we have reached a peak but pushed the limits of finding partners its a new option next to finding your partner at work finding your partner at sports or finding your partner on their you friends lets have a listen to this young german gentleman what he had to say about his experience its. I tried it for a while you get on well online and think you found a nice person but then when you meet its quite different. And i have a girlfriend who i met through my circle of friends. But i found this entire process of dating getting to know one another discovering that youre in love with me that was missing with Online Dating. Online dating from before and found out its like you buy a relationship rather than going through the process of finding love you because of him. So many people do it but does it really give them the feeling that theyve paid for that relationship that its not genuine. I think its the investors that at a different point so if you have to normal relationship if you start a normal relationship you. Its just the bats than you. You see if this this person matches to you just by being together and finding something out about the person using those platforms. Give gold this way in before so you know you get the information this person could be the right could be the right one and i think at this point its the same when you take this point at the emotional point and finding out if this is the right part for you very briefly your best advice at the end of the day when it comes to looking for a partner. So for me its going out and finding a partner the conventional old way at the bar and circle for friends at work we have a ok thats my opinion thats your opinion ok otherwise i guess use all options its always hearing from other people you also want to take on a business where losing customers is actually good thank you very much for coming in today. Now a car can also be an emotional buy but the price has to be right at the end of the day thats been the biggest problem with electric vehicles besides range which is why these german students have built the ego life with their professor good. Its a lot cheaper and great for cities theyve also design electric delivery van which companies are already deploying like puzzle service the h l n seafood retailer north sea we visited the campus thats driving the evolution of the automobile. The eagle life is a small city car whose manufacturer hopes to take on the big car makers. Five others were aiming for a price of sixteen thousand euros for the base model currently there is a subsidy of four thousand for electric vehicles so the selling price would start at Twelve Thousand euros. And if you look at the market the next cheapest vehicle is the smart easy which costs twenty two or twenty three thousand for the base model so ours is relatively cheap. The eagle life has a top speed of one hundred twenty kilometers an hour and its range is one hundred twenty kilometers thats thirty less than the smart. Students at the our deputy h. University in off in germany worked together with engineers to develop the vehicle. The project has taken just two years. But was part of the operation from the beginning at the age of just thirty one he has significant responsibility here with many different roles. Its been fun but with that in both eyes im responsible for Industrial Engineering which includes planning the production process as well as planning the factory building at the moment im also in charge of prototype construction so im overseeing everything that happens in assembly as well as planning the construction of the new factory. Corina is working on the ecar project she developed the doors for the ego from the internal structure to the locking mechanism the car may be tiny but she wants the doors to feel as solid as those on a big s. U. V. It has like its a great feeling when else do you get the chance to build an entire vehicle jewel from the ground up we all started with a blank sheet of paper and then we pulled all the pieces together and i was so proud that on the first prototype the doll pretty much worked immediately now with. One hundred fifty students are working on the project at the university their goal is to show the car industry that there is a gap in the market in the ecar segment there just arent enough small cars in big cities that means theres untapped demand the project was initiated by bustin lukas professor. Weve got three other thought feeling that we estimate theres a market for around four hundred thousand vehicles in the city car segment per year if we sold only five percent of that or if we expand our Production Capacity perhaps ten percent that would be between twenty and forty thousand cars a year you know its in a very good position run very big guns. To make faster progress bustin luka also needs experienced people in the project like this man dave wood has previously worked as a specialist for the Mclaren Formula One Team now hes checking the performance of the ego life. Im interested in working for them because this is the this is the future and this is the this is the evolution of the car. And egos approach is slightly different to everyone else they really seem to respect the history of the car. The motors and batteries are supplied by bosch boston luka is looking for a motor with good acceleration power and a battery that is charged in three hours. Bosch and ego had two years to come to a satisfactory solution. Theyve made we dont always tell everyone what to do we want to learn from each other and benefit from one anothers experience they might say theyve done something a certain way and it worked out so we could try that thats perhaps something established corporations wouldnt do because they havent considered it or because its against their guidelines but thats all it is. The chassis is produced here on the premises. All the plastic segments like the hood are then simply attached to it the car does not have to be painted that helps to keep costs down in two years time these cars should start rolling off the Assembly Line busty on new car is overseeing plans for a new factory not far from the university this is where the ego life is to go into serious production. Public were already building the factory we started construction at the end of march beginning of april this year and the shell is almost finished. And if they manage to produce twenty thousand small cars every year their vehicle will not only be the cheapest but also the best selling electric car in germany sixteen hundred customers have already ordered and paid for one as the zone another German Company has pioneered a synthetic fuel that could replace both diesel and gasoline lets take a look. Some fire company in dresden has developed something remarkable theyve devised a sophisticated process to create this clear liquid they call blue crude its a replacement for crude oil which can then be turned into synthetic fuel. As our drug of sunfire sets out the advantages of blue crude based gasoline or diesel not only could it help replace fossil fuels it could also be carbon neutral. A car powered by our fuel emits as much c o two and water in its exhaust as goes into manufacturing the fuel. Its a closed system and that makes it so environmentally friendly. Heres how it works you take green energy water and a Greenhouse Gas e. O. To this all undergoes several reactions to produce blue crude the mixture thats a replacement for crude oil. Producing blue crude requires lots of electricity so it needs to come from renewable sources. Oslo based entrepreneur broken up heard about sunfire pretty much by chance and was intrigued norway has long been a pioneer in promoting green energy. Business. Immediately for. Producing this in high volumes. Since. There are nearly one thousand hydro power plants in norway. Just about all of the electricity generated in norway comes from hydro power. Its also very cheap which is important if blue crude is to be competitive. Electricity accounts for between forty and sixty percent of the cost of producing synthetic fuel. Because norway has plenty of cheap Energy Around broken up thinks its the Perfect Place to upscale blue crude production to industrial dimensions. In addition we need also access to a site which good also be expensive for us. Substantial cost related to the investments were making. When you see the plant the board plant behind me here we produce approximately eight million liters of. Your early. Thanks. A plentiful source of Carbon Dioxide. A Cement Factory at bray vic southwest of oslo. It blasts huge amounts of the Greenhouse Gas into the air. Wants to capture that harmful Carbon Dioxide and use it to manufacture a synthetic fuel based on blue crude. Its a big problem for and we can use these public i said into products produced approximately one hundred million liters of yearly which in turn feed if we use only put these out could be fuel for proximately one of those costs. Albert is head of i p k e the institute of product engineering and cars who are germany. One of his Research Areas is vehicle drive systems and the future of transportation. He believes that electric vehicles will not entirely replace those powered by combustion engines he says the kind of diesel made from blue crude looks very promising for one thing gas stations wouldnt need to be modified to accommodate it cars wouldnt need to be modified either standard fuel tanks and engines would do just fine. And. Developing a Sustainable Hydrogen based system will take a long time and a well thought out strategy but i believe its the only way to go for the future of mobility will be converting hydrogen in various forms into fuel for use in combustion engines. Thats the kind of thing sunfire likes to hear after years of Development Work the firm says its time for blue crew to enter the industrial mainstream nears i doug says there has however been some resistance. My no matter. What problem is the mental hurdle. Some people seem to believe that if the kind of fuel were working on is approved that would be bad for electro mobility and Battery Development we dont agree we believe that both technologies will be needed and can coexist but as long as we assume that one technology will be harmful to the other it will be very hard for the underappreciated technology to thrive here for prices on some fire hopes that once the visionaries in norway pick an industrial Scale Production critics will be won over by the benefits of blue crude that would be the breakthrough some fi is hoping for.
