An Engineer Must Know More Than Just Engineering
Faculty Colloquium on the Occasion of the 200th Birthday of Ferdinand Redtenbacher
Ferdinand Redtenbacher (1809 – 1863) (Picture: Universitätsarchiv Karlsruhe)
On July 25, Ferdinand Redtenbacher would have become 200 years old. Redtenbacher is not only the founder of scientific mechanical engineering. As a long-time professor (1841–1863) and director of the former Polytechnical School of Karlsruhe, he made the Universität Karlsruhe gain international recognition. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering will celebrate Redtenbacher's birthday with a colloquium on Friday, July 24, 15 hrs, at the Tulla-Hörsaal (building 11.40, Englerstraße 11).
"Redtenbacher realized very early that an engineer must know more than mere engineering", underlines Professor Martin Gabi, dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. "For this reason, he put all his efforts into an integrated engineering education". It was the opinion of Redtenbacher that progress in engineering is essentially based on the synthesis of mathematico-scientific basic knowledge and social competence, on the one hand, as well as on the classical art of engineering and technical skills, on the other.
In 1847, Redtenbacher, together with the chemist Carl Weltzien, established separate professional schools for mechanical engineering and chemistry. Since then, the departments of architecture, civil engineering, chemistry, and mechanical engineering have existed in parallel, combined with a basic mathematical education. "This structure was taken over by nearly all technical universities in the following decades", says the head of the Karlsruhe University Archive, Dr. Klaus Nippert. "Hence, Redtenbacher contributed decisively to establishing this type of university."
In the honor of this ingenious engineer and university teacher, the faculty has now rearranged a collection of historic constructive demonstration objects, which were partly created by Redtenbacher himself. This collection will be open to visitors during the day at the Altes Maschinengebäude (building 10.91, Engelbert-Arnold-Straße 4) from July 24.
The invited lecture of the faculty colloquium on June 24 will be presented by Dr. Klaus Mauersberger, director of the art collection of the Technical University of Dresden, who wrote a biography on Redtenbacher's lifework together with Professor Jörg Wauer from the KIT Institute of Technical Mechanics and Professor Francis Charles Moon from the Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This biography was published in the international journal "Mechanism and Machine Theory". On the occasion of the faculty colloquium, a special edition of the biography in the German language will be displayed.
Journalists are cordially invited to the colloquium.

I want to express my gratitude and to thank a lot the National Association of Scouts from Moldova for a successful "Scout Update" Messenger of Peace project that allows national scout groups to mobilize and organize mini projects by themselves. Thus, three groups from the South of the country decided to apply for a grant to explore the picturesque places of the Republic of Moldova, organizing and taking part in an extraordinary trip. Starting on May 20, I have not imagined I'd see such a beauty.
The first place we visited was Hâncu Monastery and thus, we learned a lot of interesting things about the history of this monastery. I want to share with you some historical facts which I have never heard about before the trip. The monastery is situated on the bank of the river Cogâlnic. Hâncu Monastery was built on a place where a nunnery was situated before. The construction began in 1678 by the great stepladder Mihail Hâncu.
The legend says that Hâncu, needing a great army to dethrone Gheorghe Duca, received help from a ministry Apostol Durac, and then from the cleric Sorocean Constantin, to whom he promised to give his daughter the chance to marry with. But, approaching the day of marriage, she refused to marry her father's ally, fleeing from her father's house and hiding in a lair. Mihalcea Hâncu's daughter spent some time in the cave, being found by the hunters that were looking for her. The girl refused to leave the cave. Then her father, Mihalcea Hâncu, came to her and asked her to leave the cave. The daughter accepted, only with the condition that she would come out only after she would hear the sound of the bells of a church. Thus, Mihalcea Hâncu gave the order to build a church, where later a daughter spent his life.
Following the Tatar invasion in Moldova, the church and related buildings were burned and destroyed, and the hermitage was completely ruined. As a result of these misfortunes, the nuns were forced to leave the hermitage.
In 1784, in the abbey of the monastery, Egumen Varlaam II built several cellars for monks and a wooden church.
In September 1949, Hâncu Monastery was closed, and in 1992, after a period of 43 years in which it was closed, Hincu Monastery restarted its activity.
The history of Monastery impressed me a lot!
The second place we examined was the Natural Reserve "Codrii".
In 1971, based on the southern part of the Lozova Forest from the Straseni Forest Fund, was created the State Forest Reserve "Codrii", the surface of which initially constituted 2,7. This territory includes only the southern macropaint of the Botna River Basin and could not fully reflect the typical features of the geographic configuration of the Moldavian Power Plant, and Forest Reserves could not serve as a model for Codries of forest ecosystems.
In 1975, the Northern part of the Lozova Forest District was transferred to the reserve, thus the total area of a reserve expanded to 5177 ha and the area occupied by forests - up to 5004 ha, Codrii becoming the first scientific reserve from Moldova. The reserve is a unique forest massif. To the South, West and North is surrounded by agricultural lands and fields, in the Northeast it is bordered by forests of the Straseni Forestry Fund.
While going to the third place we have visited, I was amazed by the beauty of the churches of St. Nicholas Monastery in Condrita, with a community of monks, a place of praying still present in the heart of the Republic of Moldova. A local legend says that through these forests a outlaw named Condrea had a hideout, and from his name the current place is named in such a way. The dates of the first monastic settlement are not certain.
It is known, however, according to the documents that in 1783, the Ieromonah Joseph, together with some monks from Capriana Monastery, came and settled in this place. That's how Condriţa Hermitage was given birth. There is still not too much data about them.
The evolution of communism and atheism has not passed here without leaving their paths behind. Thus, in 1946, some of the monastery buildings were occupied by the School of Forestry from the locality. The Forestry School, was functioning within the monastery until 1960. After 1960, the monastery complex in Condrita was transformed into a rest camp, functioning until 1993. Condriţa Monastery was re-established only in 1993.
The fresco of the church remained the old one, because it was covered with lime and kept intact. In the courtyard of the monastery there is an old stone, with the sign of the cross dug over it and an indelible inscription. In the opinion of the monks, this stone indicates where the old 18th-century wooden church was located.
The Condrița Monastery reminded me of Orheiul Vechi.
As we started going to the fourth place, I realized I was going to see beautiful and interesting places with the National Scout Association of Moldova.
As we got to the fourth place, I understood that I could not ask for more knowledge because I got enough new information about my country. Capriana Monastery is a place where I have been not only once. Knowing where I am, I've discovered something more interesting and beautiful.
There are some hypotheses regarding the founding of Capriana Monastery. The original monastery was called Visnazat, after the name of the nearby river (which today is called Isnovat). From the time of Ștefan cel Mare (Stephen the Great) (year 1470), there are two documents where the passage of the "Vişnăvăţ Monastery" is under the protection of the Neamţ Monastery. In the fourteenth decade of the 16th century the name Vişnăvăţ is replaced by the name Căpriana.
At Capriana there was also the largest monastery library in Moldova with many valuable books and charts, including the monastery of Dobrovăţ monastery, which started with the first founder of the monastery - Ștefan cel Mare - and ended in 1821. Starting with 1818, Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni undertook extensive measures to reorganize and rebuild the monastery. The church "Assumption of the Virgin Mary" (1545) during this period is reconstructed almost from the foundation. The bell tower was built in 1812 and has 9 bells.
After 1947, they were banished to the monks and the monastery was transformed into a sanatorium for children suffering from turbellosis. At the beginning of 1989, it was reopened, with restoration works being started.
The new church, dedicated to St. George, was built from red brick in 1903, on the site of the former church "Ascension of Our Lady". Its architecture bears the mark of pseudo-Byzantine eclecticism and stylization, but it also contains some elements of the old Moldavian architecture.
With the help of our group Leaders, we have learned much more than we knew. Stunned by the history of Căpriana Monastery, we went to Marta and Maria Monastery.
The monastery was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Since 1999, it is led by Mother Abbot Marta (Cusnir). Several years ago, the foundation of a cathedral was built on two levels: the Church of the Holy Mother of God Marta and Maria (summer church) and the Church of Saint Apostle Andrew (winter church).
After this stop we headed to Chitcani Monastery. The first impression we had was created by the magnificence of the 72-meter-long Bell Tower, the equivalent of an 8-storey house.
It was founded in the time of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza. In 1917, the monastery called New Neamt was strongly bombarded by the Bolsheviks. There is a tumultuous history for this holy place, and in 1962 it was closed, but a scroll with relics of several saints and a few icons is still saved. Soon, it was transformed into a hospital for tuberculosis patients. Churches got deposits, and the bell tower became a museum of Soviet military glory. The monastery reopened in 1989.
In 1994 the bell tower was restored. The largest bell, out of 12, has a weight of 8.7 tons. At present the monastery is the most visited and preserves a whole treasure of many sacred relics, icons and valuable scents.
I was impressed the most by the library from the Monastery that it is larger even than the library from our school.
Tighina Fortress was the last place we visited on our trip. A place where the history many peoples is united. I was impressed with the history of Tighina town. I spent a lot of time in towers and museums. Tighina, situated on the bank of the Dniester River, was one of the most powerful towns in Moldova. In the 9th-11th centuries, the native population lifted up a fortress, whose traces were found around Calfa. The name Tighina is due to the Cuman, who in the 12th-13th centuries reached the flocks around the passover. Some scholars claim that in Tighina in the 12th century a Genovese factor would have been founded. But the analysis of the sources attests that this would be impossible because the Genoese had the right to navigate the Black Sea in 1261 and at the mouths of the Danube and Dniester.
Tighina became an important point on the Moldovan trade road linking Western Europe with the East through the Danube from Isaccea, the Byzantine regions on the right of the Danube with Calfa, the Genoese colony in Crimea. This commercial path has also been called the Dacian Way. This road crossed to Tighina with the river road leading from Hotin to Soroca, the White Fortress and the Black Sea. At the end of the 15th century, a fortress of wood and earth was built near the old town of Tighina, thus encompassing the defensive system of medieval Moldavia and being one of the most powerful fortresses. This is confirmed by Dimitrie Cantemir, who noted in the "Description of Moldova": "Tighina, called by the Turks Bender, until recently a very strong fortress, and now by the Turks themselves fortified by many works from the Dniester. Dimitrie Cantemir considered it to be "the most fortified city of the whole country" until it passed into the hands of the Ottomans. Every wall of the fortress can tell you the history of the tab in the tab. After the words of our guide, during the Second World War, no bomb has fallen on the perimeter of the fortress.
I would like to thank again the National Scout Association of Moldova for giving the scout groups "Cimbrișor", "Iedera", "Bâștinașii" the chance to explore this beautiful country through the project "Scout Update".

Sam Hart and Jacob Davenport miss out through injury, but Brad Lyons has travelled north for tonight's game.
Summer arrival Tom White is likely to be named in the squad, whilst Charley Doyle is set for a return after missing the encounter against Souhport.
Tony Carss will be taking the side tonight as Rovers look to conclude a 100% winning pre-season, having already beaten Clitheroe, Kendal Town and Southport, without conceding a goal.
Jordan Eastham and Joe Hilton will be battling it out for a starting berth this evening, with kick-off scheduled in for 7pm.
Tonight's hosts finished mid-table in the Northern Premier League Premier Division last term.
We'll have a full report of the game online tomorrow afternoon.


As Vietnam grows and its consumers develop more affluence, there will be more competition for the consumer both internally and externally. As international companies try to enter the Vietnamese market, and domestic players try to gain market share, the question will be—can a domestic company compete in Vietnam and excel?
One such company that has not only competed but flourished, and is holding a dominant share in a large part of the Vietnamese market is the Masan Group, which has integrated a strategy of customer data, customer insights, a focus on product expansions into growth markets and an emphasis on dominating rural distribution networks.
How did Masan Consumer achieve phenomenal growth?
Established in 2000, Masan Consumer manufactures and distributes a variety of food and beverage products, including soy sauce, fish sauce, chili sauce, instant noodles, instant congee, instant coffee, instant cereals, and bottled beverages under a variety of brand names. Group President, Quang Nguyen, said that it was the desire to discover and meet unsatisfied customers' demands that led to the establishment of Masan. The company recognised the large potential of rural markets, which account for about 70 percent of Vietnam's population. Masan currently holds a dominant role in the packaged food industry with top positions in sauces, noodles and dried processed food in rural Vietnam (see Table 1 below). The year 2014 marked Masan's significant success with the "Vietnam Food Golden Brand" award, jointly issued by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Today, three of the ten most popular brands in rural markets and two of the ten most popular brands in urban markets belong to Masan Consumer. Among them, Nam Ngu has become the best-selling food brand in rural areas. Before 2007, the business model of Masan Consumer was quite simple. The company built just one brand name – Chin-su – for four main product lines: soy sauce in 2002, and fish sauce, seasoning powder, and instant noodles in 2003, with a turnover of less than 500 billion VND and no dramatic development initially. However, at the beginning of 2005, Masan significantly innovated in its business model by developing each sector separately. As a result, Masan Consumer today is one of the largest local FMCG companies in Vietnam, holding the leading position in the food and beverage industry.
Masan's long-term strategy was a determining factor that made it the preferred choice of rural Vietnamese consumers. From 2009 to 2014, Masan management maintained three main strategies to achieve positive outcomes, step by step. They went out and got information about their customers; they made the decision to go out to the rural markets where the multinational companies were weak rather than fighting it out in the cities; they chose to develop the logistics and distribution channels into the rural markets; they picked high growth FMCG markets as they expanded from fish sauce to instant noodles and beverages.
In the FMCG product space, Masan identified the sectors of spices, instant noodles, and instant coffee to be the essential foundation of the food and beverage sector. Masan management conducted specific research to gain an in-depth understanding of Vietnamese consumer demands. Vietnam market has a high proportion of young people aged 9 to 44 and rural citizens who will potentially consume spices and instant products (see Table 2 below). As they looked at the collected data they divided up their target customer segments, and targeted new opportunities as they presented themselves. Masan was especially successful in orienting the rural consumer towards using healthier products but always with an affordable price tag.
Move toward brands and the quality assurance it brings: For traditional sauce products including fish and soy sauce, Masan realised that this sector in the Vietnamese market contained many small, unbranded local producers whose products were typically sold at low price points in traditional open food markets found all over the country. Those unbranded products had no quality assurance. Masan's research from 2009 predicted that increasing disposable income and the urbanisation process combined with economic growth would shift customers' preferences from unknown brands towards well-known and premium brands as a result of improved purchasing power and concerns about food safety. While the market for coffee is highly competitive in Vietnam, the company's Wake Up Saigon brand concentrated on attracting the rural area segments with a combination of good quality and a persuasive price. This led to the brand being one of Vietnam's top ten beverages within a year of introduction.
Great opportunities: In the instant food sector, Masan investigated and found Vietnam's instant noodles consumption to be the third highest in the Asia Pacific region, trailing only South Korea and Indonesia. To combat the traditional perception that instant noodles were junk food, Masan continues to increase product variety and flavors and introduce healthier non-flour-based noodles. Masan was successful in introducing the instant noodle brand Kokomi for the low-income segment with a guarantee of quality but with competitive pricing relative to competitors.
Another strategy that brought Masan success in the rural area was the use of brand recognition. With the strategy of constructing an "umbrella brand", Masan became one of the most popular brands in the overall domestic market. The umbrella brand strategy helped them reach a broad range of consumer groups and penetrate adjacent segments.
By leveraging on the reputation of the principal product lines as premium brands (Chin-su for sauces and Omachi for instant noodles), Masan continues to develop mass-market brands (Nam Ngu, Tam Thai Tu and Rong Viet for sauces and Tien Vua and Kokomi for noodles) to meet the demands of customers of different income levels; specifically, low-income rural customers. This maximises the value of their brands, establishes a reputation for premium quality across their products and generates economies of scale in advertising and promotion.
By 2014, Masan had developed a nationwide distribution network with 230 distributors, covering approximately 230,000 points of sale—one of the largest and deepest in Vietnam's FMCG sector (see Table 3 below). In addition, they also implemented a state-of-the-art Distributor Management System (DMS) across all of their distributors, which provided them access to real-time data across the distribution network. To support the distributors throughout Vietnam, Masan provided geographical exclusivity and worked closely with them to ensure the effectiveness of their sales forces and smooth coordination.
The success of Masan Corporation is a useful lesson in long-term vision. Rather than seeking short term profits, management concentrated on investing building sustainable brands, caring about customers, while helping them achieve a higher standard of living, and developing a strong system of distribution channels.
Compared to other emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region, the Vietnamese households spend relatively less on packaged food and beverage products; therefore, the growth potential of the Vietnamese market is still expected to be rather high. By using effective marketing strategies, and expanding into growth categories and rural markets, Masan has in essence increased its addressable market for branded consumer products from US$1.1 billion in 2013 to US$9.0 billion in 2014. Moreover, the growth of retail channels such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores and independent small grocers in rural areas is expected to improve the distribution of Masan's FMCG products and increase proximity to customers.
Last but not least, Masan has inspired new hope for Vietnamese enterprises in the context of upcoming free trade agreements and communities such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and ASEAN Economic Community.
Continuing on his message in the annual report, Nguyen announced, "Above all personal motives, we have seen an opportunity to contribute to the country and become the pride of Vietnamese people as 'the champion' in the domestic private sector, showing the world that a Vietnamese corporation can reach great achievements, and more importantly, improve Vietnamese people's lives".
So can a domestic company continue to grow in Vietnam and can they succeed? The answer is yes, but they will need to take bold and forceful decisions to do so.

The Paintings of Moholy-Nagy The Shape of Things to Come Joyce Tsai, James Merle Thomas, Friederike Waentig, Larry J. Feinberg, Eik Kahng

History of Art c 1800 to c 1900 »
László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) became notorious for the declarations he made about the end of painting, encouraging artists to exchange brush, pigment, and canvas for camera, film, and searchlight. Even as he made these radical claims, he painted throughout his career. The practice of painting enabled Moholy-Nagy to imagine generative relationships between art and technology, and to describe the shape that future possibilities might take. Joyce Tsai illuminates the evolution of painting's role for Moholy-Nagy through key periods in his career: at the German Bauhaus in the 1920s, in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in the early 1930s, and as director of the New Bauhaus in Chicago in the last decade of his life. The book also includes an introduction to the history, qualities, and significance of plastic materials that Moholy-Nagy used over the course of his career, and an essay on how his project of shaping habitable space in his art and writing resonated with artists and industrial designers in the 1960s and 1970s.
Joyce Tsai is assistant professor of modern and contemporary art at the University of Florida, Gainesville.

We give our hair our undivided attention, but our scalp rarely gets a look in. Yet it's this delicate and finely balanced piece of skin that dictates how our hair behaves. Get it in tip-top condition and amazing hair will swiftly follow. There has been a deluge of new scalp products lately and these are Stylist beauty director Joanna McGarry's six saviours.
Prickly pear oil is a pricey ingredient but this shampoo is definitely worth every penny. It calms sensitised scalps while it moisturises, and the musky scent lingers on the hair.
This gently sloughs flakes away without stripping any natural oils. Gently massage into your hair, leave for 10 minutes and rinse before shampooing for maximum exfoliation action.
The natural oils in this silky unguent rebalance the scalp, hydrating dry areas and absorbing grease. Apply a pea-sized amount before shampooing. It can also be rubbed into overly dry and parched ends.
If your scalp has been overloaded with product or overheated by hairdryers, you need something to bring it back to a state of calm. This clever pre-shampoo oil does exactly that.
This product is collagen filler for your hair. The natural and chemical ingredients plump the hair from root to tip, while improving the quality of the skin around the hair follicle.
This super serum is filled with a stem cell derived from apples that not only helps to achieve optimum scalp health but also manages to tame frizz.
