Us3r: "1985" – Electro Indie artist from Seattle – Self Release
Scritto da Exhimusic - Percorsi nella musica 12/05/2019
Us3r (pronounced 'User') is a solo Electro Indie artist based in Seattle, WA, who began writing music under his strange moniker in 2018. His music is a combination of Funk, EDM, synth and modern Pop. Working by day in product design, Us3r spent much of 2018 immersed in technology, local arts, and cityscapes. During that time, he spent every morning and evening writing music and solidifying the sound of his debut album,1985.
1985 is the year he was born, the music sounds like everything he listens to on a daily basis, but captured through the lens of 1980s synthesizers, reused and resampled for a modern day sound.
Us3r grew up in a musical household in Palm Springs, CA. Both his mother and uncle were touring members of the Righteous Brothers and his father works as a studio bass player. When he relocated to Seattle in 2017, the artistry and vibrancy of the area inspired him to create his current sound.
"I currently live in Seattle and I walk to work every day. I see a lot of good and bad in the city, I feel the cold, and I see the setting sun constantly. I wanted to capture the feeling of existing here – it is sometimes fun, sometimes challenging, and always real. Also I wanted this work to lyrically reflect on my childhood in California in the late 80s, early 90s. I wanted to include the sounds and styles from other artists I love. I also wanted to create an album that was honest about my outlook about friendships, places, and my attitude about life.
First, I aimed to write every song on this debut album to be able to stand up as a single. I included songs that are uptempo, downtempo, experimental, happy, sad, etc. Second, the production style of this music is very experimental. On several song, I created synthesizers from samples of my own voice and played with moving sounds around the sonic space into unexpected places. The song 'Partition' is the most exaggerated song that followed this technique."
Influences – Daft Punk, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails

Limited Applicability Of St. Jude's Co. Water Case
Concerning the limited applicability of the Colorado supreme court's decision in St. Jude's Co. v. Roaring Fork Club, LLC, 351 P.3d 442 (Colo. 2015).
In the case of St. Jude's Co. v. Roaring Fork Club, LLC, 351 P.3d 442 (Colo. 2015) ( St. Jude's Co. ), the Colorado supreme court held that direct diversions of water from a river to a private ditch for aesthetic, recreational, and piscatorial purposes on private property, without impoundment, are not beneficial uses of water under Colorado water law.
The bill provides that the decision in the St. Jude's Co. case interpreting section 37-92-103 (4) does not apply to previously decreed absolute and conditional water rights or claims pending as of July 15, 2015. The interpretation of section 37-92-103 (4) in St. Jude's Co. applies only to direct-flow appropriations, without storage, filed after July 15, 2015, for water diverted from a surface stream or tributary groundwater by a private entity for private aesthetic, recreational, and piscatorial purposes.

[ot] Gps Trackback Questions
By kusako, March 23, 2006 in GPS
kusako 0
sorry if this is somewhat off topic, but I couldn't think of another forum to post it.
I'd like to use a GPS as sort of a blackbox, to automatically store GPS coordinates as I move, together with timestamps of when the coordinate samples were taken. As I understand it, most GPS units have this kind of functionality.
Now my questions:
How long can you record GPS data? The manufacturer's data sheets usually state how many coordinates can be stored, but not how many samples are taken per time interval. I would like to keep record of 3 to 4 weeks of GPS information. Would this be possible? Any recommendation of a unit that would allow to do this?
Can the track informations (coordinates + timestamps) actually be exported to a pc in a documented format or do you need some special software?
Do you need special drivers to access a GPS unit from a pc, or is it recognized as a standard USB bulk device?
Thanks for your answers.

Many of the Garmins now can record up to a 10,000 breadcrumb tracklog, and they can record as often as one trackpoint per second. My favorite use of a GPS is not a GOTO device, but a Tracklog recorder.
The newest Garmins like the Map60Cx, will now record quite a bit onto the MicroSD memory card, in GPX format, but this requires the latest beta firmware for the new GPS units.

As GOT GPS? mentioned, they can be set to mark a track point every second - but they're very flexible in how frequently they log a point. It could be every hour or every 24 hours. The frequency can also be determined by distance as well - as frequently as every 1/100th of a mile (53 feet).
As Geoff mentioned, Garmins have a tracklog capacity of 10,000 points, so a little math is involved in deciding how frequently to set the track points based on how often and for how long you'll be tracking during the three to four week periods. The new Garmin "x" series units can be set to log the points onto the memory card (which is used mainly for map data storage). If a big enough memory card is used with enough space left over after loading maps, you could conceivably continue tracking for several months or even many years (if tracking is set to log every hour).
Absolutely! You do need software to do this. If you buy mapping software for the unit (like Garmin MapSource products), you can use it. But if you don't get a mapping unit, you can use a free program like USAPhotoMaps. That one will allow you to view your tracks over aerial photos! There are other programs you can use to convert the data to various formats for various purposes. Lots of flexibility there as well.
Some units connect to a standard serial port (RS-232) and some connect via USB port. If it's USB, the drivers will come with the unit.

Here's an example of trackpoints saved to a text file by GPSTrackmaker (freeware)

If you want more data for points you'd use waypoints which can have names and notes attached.

The GPSr won't be recognized as a standard USB device, but any GPSr with computer connectivity will come with drivers to allow your computer to recognize it. The GPS unit can export data to a PC in real time, or more useful in your application, can export a track log. As earlier posts demonstrate, the track log can readily be exported in a variety of formats for use in word processing, spreadsheet or database applications.
A Garmin 60CS or Vista C will give you not only longitude, latitude, date and time, but also elevation, if that is of interest. Setting a unit to record its position once every 4 minutes would give you just shy of four weeks worth of data points, but battery life for most of these receivers is in the 30 hour range (with some as great as 30 hours).
Thanks for all the help!
Setting frequency by distance would probably be a pretty good option.
Yes, one of those would probably be the best choice. Unfortunately they are also at the upper end of the price range .
OK, I asked this because if the device just conects like a digital camera or a usb stick, I might be able to do backups to free memory on the device on public computer terminals.
On more question
Is the memory for the tracklog shared with other data? So if the garmin specs say the device stores 10,000 points, does this mean up to 10,000 if no waypoints or track data is uploaded, or is it always 10,000 points.
Thanks again for the great help.

In the active tracklog, it's 10,000 points free and clear - no other data impinges on it as far as I've been able to tell. You also have the capacity on the unit to "save" the active tracklog - the unit has an additional capacity for up to 20 saved tracks, with up to 500 points each. "Saving" the tracklog on the unit basically transfers the complete active tracklog to a single saved track, strips out time/speed data, and filters it down to 500 or fewer points. Because of this filtering, it's not really a great method to capture the best data for long term use. However, if you are running out of room and you're about to lose data otherwise, this does give you some additional capacity on the unit itself for simplified data.
OK, I asked this because if the device just connects like a digital camera or a usb stick, I might be able to do backups to free memory on the device on public computer terminals.
Yes you could do that or if you have a PDA you can back the data up that way. An older Palm with a serial interface and GPilotS freeware is what I use to backup my data when I'm away from a PC.

Q: How to configure non-admin account to install updates for Java, Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 7? How to configure non-admin users to allow them to install updates for Java and Adobe Acrobat Reader without needing for administrator password on Windows 7. Updates for Microsoft products install without problems.
This can be Active Directory (Windows 2003) solution, or computer based (employable through GPO or login script).

A: For Windows Updates and Adobe use BeyondTrust PowerBrower for Desktops: pm.beyondtrust.com.  I'm working through the Java Update though.
Disclaimer: I work for BeyondTrust, apologies if this reply is out of line for this forum.

A: Rather than focusing on how to give user's this ability, I'd recommend focusing on leveraging software deployments via active directory.  There is the built in ability to deploy MSI installations and the ability to use scripting for EXE installers.
A good resource for MSI deployments would be AppDeploy, and this seemed good (found via Bing search) - Using Group Policy to Deploy Applications.

It's like the compiler doesn't see the RAS library even though I included the ras.h header file.

A: I solved the problem by adding Rasapi32.lib to the dependencies. I did so by going to Project - > (Project name) Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies and added Rasapi32.lib.
However, now I have a problem that the password is displayed as a set of *'s instead of plaintext, I guess the same would be the case for the pre-shared key that I need.


The nature of intrinsic defects in ZnO films grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy was studied by positron annihilation and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. The supply of Zn and O during the film synthesis was varied by applying different growth temperatures (325–485 °C), affecting decomposition of the metal organic precursors. The microscopic identification of vacancy complexes was derived from a systematic variation in the defect balance in accordance with Zn/O supply trends.

Graduated from college, Brooker was hired by the company Chem-Mex to develop numerous ingredients that were sold to the tortilla industry. For nearly a decade this food scientist dedicated himself to developing products and solving problems, so he had to visit the tortilla factories, both in Mexico and the United States, where he met a good number of manufacturers.
Currently, Brooker has its own firm, "Food Lab", a food label consulting for the food industry. "Tortillas are a small part of my business now, it's like 10% of what I do now," he said.
Although tortillas already represent only a minimal part of his work in his business, they still occupy a large space in his heart. It is through this industry that Brooker obtains money which he use to funds the campaigns of Lord's Chips Foundation to help orphans with special needs in Mexico.
"I still go to the Tortilla Industry Association Convention every year as The Lord's Chips because I need to keep those relationships so we can do something good together in Mexico," explains Brooker.
Juanito and Daniel Brooker at Casa Horizonte orphanage.
One of Brooker's favorite films is the comedy "Nacho Libre", starring Jack Black who plays Ignacio, called by his friends Nacho. He is the cook in a Mexican monastery where he grew up and is also home to orphaned children.
Out of curiosity, Brooker investigated if anyone had The Lord's Chips domain and it was available, so he decided to buy it, hoping to use it in the future.
It was then that Brooker decided to try to do something that really mattered. He created the nonprofit The Lord's Chips hoping that the people within the tortilla industry would offer financial support to help the orphans in Mexico.
Together, with John Swanson, the foundation's treasurer, they set out to identify who they were going to help financially. In Ensenada, they found an orphanage that began to work and was dedicated to the care of orphans with special needs.
They realized the lack of resources available to give appropriate care to children who were born with physical and mental problems and were abandoned by their parents.
In the Ensenada orphanage lives Isabella, a girl who suffers from severe autism and was found abandoned in a garbage dump with a plastic bag over her head. "Now she's very well taken care of," says Brooker.
Two other children, who were tied to a bed, could not walk when they were taken to the orphanage. Last year they underwent surgery and now they can get up and walk.
In another orphanage, called The Mission, which has been operating in Mexico for 25 years, it has 15 orphans with special needs with severe health conditions. Since the beginning of the year The Lord's Chips has begun to give them financial aid but they need more support.
"We work helping orphanages plan their budget and we are committed to helping them financially for a year," Brooker explains.
Since the beginning of the foundation every year Brooker has participated in the tortilla industry conventions seeking the economic support of the manufacturers of this popular Mexican product. But he explains that it has taken years to convey the message of the need to support the work of the foundation.

Out of the total contributions they received last year, only 15% came from the tortilla industry. This led them to think about not returning to the convention, but at the annual event held last month in Las Vegas, optimism returned because the message presented by the foundation to help Mexican orphans with special needs was listened.
"Minsa CEO Rodrigo Ariceaga approached me and said, I am very sorry that in the past we have not made a contribution, I did not understand what you are doing, but it is never too late to start and I am going to give you a Check," said Brooker, who later on received a $8,000 donation from Minsa.
"With all the donations we have received, we can return to Mexico to continue helping the orphans," Brooker said.

Mutiny on the Bounty (abgekürzt MOTB) ist eine luxemburgische Rockband aus Esch/Alzette.

Geschichte
Mutiny on the Bounty wurde im April 2004 von Nicolas Prezor und Sacha Schmitz gegründet. Ihre erste Veröffentlichung war ein Splitalbum 2005, mit der ebenfalls aus Luxemburg stammenden Band Treasure Chest at the End of the Rainbow, in welcher Sacha Schmitz auch aktiv war. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt bestand die Band aus David Moreira (auch Sänger von Eternal Tango), Luciano Lippis und den beiden Gründungsmitgliedern. Dieses Splitalbum wurde von der kanadischen Plattenfirma New Romance for Kids für Kanada, USA und Japan lizenziert. 2007 verließ Moreira die Gruppe und Claudio Pianini stieß als Bassist zu ihnen.

Danach tourten Mutiny on the Bounty durch Europa und teilten die Bühne unter anderem mit 65 Days of Static, Coheed and Cambria, These Arms Are Snakes, Akimbo, Russian Circles, Portugal. The Man, Red Sparowes, 31 Knots und Fear Before the March of Flames.

Trotzdem arbeitete die Band nebenher weiter an Liedern für ihr Debütalbum. Jedes Bandmitglied lieferte verschiedene Song-Fragmente, die anschließend gemeinsam bearbeitet wurden. So entstanden Lieder, die verschiedene Einflüsse beinhalten, aber dennoch als Werk einer Band angesehen werden können. Es dauerte zehn Monate, bis die Lieder bereit zum Aufnehmen waren. Nach fast zwei Jahren Vorbereitung, standen sie dann bei Philippe Matgé im Studio um ihr Debütalbum Danger Mouth aufzunehmen. In den West West Side Studios in New York City wurde das Album, anschließend von Alan Douches gemastert. Danger Mouth erschien 2009 bei Redfield Records in Deutschland und Big Scary Monsters Records in England.

Weitere internationale Konzerte folgten unter anderem auf dem South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Austin Texas.

Im August 2011 wurden Pianini und Lippis durch Cedric Czaika und Clement Delporte ersetzt. Ebenfalls 2011 waren sie in Govinda Van Maeles Dokumentation We Might as Well Fail zu sehen.

Mutiny on the Bountys zweites Album Trials wurde innerhalb eines Monats in Seattle im Red Room Recording Studio von dem bekannten amerikanischen Produzenten Matt Bayles aufgenommen. Die Band schickte Bayles einen Link mit ein paar ihrer Liedern und nach einem Treffen im Rahmen ihres Auftritts in Austin hatten sie ihn überzeugt, ihr neues Album aufzunehmen. Die Produktion finanzierte die Band unter anderem durch Crowdfunding. Trials erschien 2011 bei Redfield Records in Deutschland und  Best Before Records in England.

Am 4. Mai 2012 war die Releaseparty des Albums im Den Atelier in Luxemburg-Stadt. Unterstützt wurde Mutiny on the Bounty von den luxemburgischen Bands Heartbeat Parade und Mount Stealth. Bereits im April wurde ein Musikvideo zur Single Artifacts veröffentlicht, für das Lied Myanmar wurde im Februar 2013 ein Musikvideo gedreht. Anfang 2014 erschien ein weiteres Video zu Mapping the Universe.

Das dritte Album Digital Tropics wurde mit Produzent Jan Kerscher in den Ghost City Recordings Studios nahe Nürnberg aufgenommen. Gemischt wurden die Stücke ebenfalls von Jan Kerscher, der unter anderem auch schon diverse Mischungen für den bekannten amerikanischen Produzenten Ross Robinson (At The Drive-In, The Blood Brothers, The Cure, Glassjaw, Team Sleep, Norma Jean) angefertigt hat. Die erste Single des Albums trägt den Namen MKL JKSN und wurde mit dem dazugehörigen Musikvideo am 2. März 2015 vom Visions-Magazin in Deutschland und von 7BitArcade in England veröffentlicht. Telekinesis die zweite Single des neuen Albums wurde am 3. April exklusiv über die Webseite des Clash Magazine veröffentlicht. Die Release Show zum dritten Album war am 17. April in der Kufa in Esch an der Alzette. Das Album erschien am selben Tag auf CD und am 22. Mai 2015 auf Schallplatte bei Redfield Records (DE) und Deaf Rock Records (FR). In Großbritannien wurde Digital Tropics am 26. Mai gleichzeitig auf CD und Schallplatte über ihr neues Musiklabel Small Pond Records (UK) veröffentlicht.

Das Musikvideo zur dritten Single dance Automaton dance erschien am 17. Juni 2015 auf Youtube.

Am 17. Juli 2015, wurde Digital Tropics über das Plattenlabel Friend of Mine Records in Japan veröffentlicht. Die japanische Version des Albums erscheint als Digisleeve mit neuem Design, dem Bonustrack Bleak Future und einem Remix des Liedes Ecliptic das von Sun Glitters remixt wurde.

Stil
Mutiny on the Bounty spielen Math-Rock mit synthetisch und elektronisch klingenden Elementen, ihre Gitarren klingen manchmal eher wie ein Computer oder ein Keyboard.

Siemens goes all-in on Digital Twin
by Dan Roberts
@cambashi_dan
Siemens invited me to Munich, along with a number of other analysts, to its Innovation Conference. This is their showcase for new and upcoming technology. Day 1 included a visit to the Siemens R&D facility in Munich. Day 2 showcased technology that is market-ready.
Siemens apparent reluctance to send new developments out into the market is admirable from a quality and reliability point-of-view, but risky in a market which demands the latest innovations now. I get the impression that Siemens is not happy with making a solution work, it wants all of its solutions to work well. Indeed, the comment was made that Siemens had been working on the Digital Twin concept for 10-15 years, but expect it to take another 10-15 years to perfect it.
Siemens is not just a company that provides software to improve how manufacturers perform, it is also a manufacturer in its own right, with more than 270 factories worldwide. That is one of the key strengths it possesses – an in-depth knowledge of the challenges facing manufacturers. For customers, that means that solutions are beta-tested by manufacturing divisions within Siemens well before general release.
For infrastructure customers, the same thing applies. Siemens has its own Real Estate division that runs buildings in 2,000 locations. In much the same way as for manufacturing, building technology solutions are beta-tested by internal teams.
Siemens has a good story to tell about digitalisation. The fleshed-out Digital Twin concept with Product, Production and Performance Twins (matched by Design, Build and Operate Infrastructure Digital Twins) is a neat way to bring together Siemens' traditional strengths in design and production control alongside the newer 'Industry 4.0' technologies that are emerging. I hope that the reluctance to send new developments out into the market doesn't allow its competition to overtake and leave it behind.
Disclosure: Siemens paid for flights, airport transfers and the hotel stay in Munich. Siemens is also a customer of Cambashi.
Notes from the event
Day 1 at Siemens R&D
The afternoon at the R&D centre was split between expert briefings and hands-on demonstrations of technology.
Most of the technologies are based around MindSphere cloud, which is described as an open IoT operating system. Users can access native Siemens-built applications, but also can develop their own applications, plus access applications written by a rapidly growing ecosystem of third parties.
Every device will be connected and intelligent, but need to cope with longer cycle times – for example you might change your mobile phone every 1-2 years, but you won't change your factory machines (or trains) for about 10 years or more.
MindSphere provides a single harmonized data layer that brings together software tools and physical devices. It is being used by early adopter users (as well as internal Siemens users), but is still very much in its infancy in terms of maturity.
Digital Twin is one of Siemens' key technologies. Like MindSphere, it is already being used – indeed some of the underlying technologies, like product simulation, are well-established. But the packaging up into the virtual product, linked to the real world by MindSphere, is still a relatively new concept.
The digital twin is a digital representation of a physical asset. Siemens defines three different types:
Digital product twin – for design and simulation
Digital production twin – for process simulation
Digital performance twin – for continuous simulation during the lifetime of the product in its current configuration.
Figure 1: How Roland Busch described the Siemens Digital Twin Architecture
Knowledge from the engineering models are used to improve the accuracy of the digital performance twin – rather than requiring the system to learn everything from scratch.
Generative design modules can learn from the performance twin, enabling an optimised product design for how the product is actually used in practice. In this way, engineers are able to increase the quality of their designs.
The digital performance twin runs an online simulation during operation of the product. The simulation is fed by real data from the device, enabling the digital twin to be able to predict potential issues. For example, it can help an operator identify why a motor is going wrong, or predict the lifetime of a product. This continuous simulation helps to verify design decisions, or improve future designs. However, in order to run this continuous simulation, much smaller models are required – going from 1 million degrees of freedom to just 100.
Benefits of the Digital Twin
Some of the expected benefits of using digital twins are impressive. Siemens claims that you can accurately predict the temperature of a part inside a motor that is impossible to measure by conventional means. One of the research demonstrations showed this capability, alongside an Augmented Reality user interface that actually allowed you to modify the motor speed.
The simulation is one of the keys to the Siemens Machine Learning strategy. The reasoning is that, although industrial systems are still producing a vast amount of data, the variety and even the sheer volume is not the same as for consumer data. This means that teaching machine learning systems takes much longer in the industrial setting. Siemens intends to run multiple simulations to generate enough data to train its machine learning systems in instances where there is not enough real data available. In parallel, Siemens is also proposing to calibrate its simulation models using results from those same machine learning systems. How it intends to avoid simulations essentially verifying themselves is unclear.
The Siemens research team introduced its concept for using artificial intelligence to enhance its offerings.
The overriding model takes inputs from the environment using a range of 'Perception' tools:
Sensor processing
The 'Cognition' tools then make sense of those inputs. Reasoning allows the system to draw conclusions from the raw data; learning allows the system to continually adapt and improve; creativity enables the system to generate hypotheses.
The 'Decision' tools enable decision-making, even in uncertainty.
The tools combine to determine a set of actions to take, then a feedback loop allows the system to learn from its mistakes.
The system brings together lots of data siloes, using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to use different data signals in parallel.
The challenge for Machine Learning systems in industrial settings, is that, despite the wealth of data, there simply isn't as much as for consumer applications. This means that machine learning needs to be supplemented with human knowledge.
Industry Knowledge Graph
The Industry Knowledge Graph is one of the ways that Siemens uses to cope whenever there is a lack of data for its artificial intelligence to use for its predictions. Essentially it's a way of pre-loading knowledge into the system, so it doesn't have to learn everything from scratch. It's this semantic knowledge that means that we automatically know that a lion is dangerous without having been attacked by one ourselves. Similarly, an experienced servicing technician will notice an issue and know what needs fixing based on his prior knowledge of the system.
The combination of these 'knowledge graphs' and artificial intelligence algorithms are what Siemens describes as 'Augmented Intelligence'. A typical workflow would be as follows:
Understand – for example, conducting a tender search, which is often time-consuming and detailed – ideal for AI enhancement;
Offer – configure a solution, work out the optimal layout – this may need to take into account lots of constraints;
Produce – know how best to manufacture the product as configured;
Supply – rank suitable vendors;
Maintain – planning machine upgrades;
Repair – learn from past product failures and propose repair activities
The capabilities of the artificial intelligence solution were demonstrated alongside factory automation systems. The 'playful' demonstration was of two PLCs learning how to play Pong. The learning mode consisted of them observing two humans playing. From this, they derived the rules and objectives. Note that the inputs for the PLCs were the pixels displayed on the screen, so the AI systems had to process a considerable amount of data in real time to make its decisions.
Figure 2 – Robots assembling components without specific instructions
The second demonstration was of a pair of robots deciding how to assemble electronic components on the fly. Each robot used its camera to identify the part required, then decided what actions were needed to assemble it correctly. It didn't matter whether the part was the right way round, on its side, or even in a specific place. The robots (or at least the AI driving them) had to work out how to ensure each part was correctly oriented, sometimes even using a combination of the two robots to achieve the result. Each build was performed slightly differently, but the final result was always the same. It was noticeable how slowly the system worked compared to standard production systems. However, this is very much an early prototype, so I would expect similar systems to be running much faster in a few years' time, when the technology is ready for the market.
A number of other technologies were on display at the research centre. We were advised that these were very much early prototypes that were at least three years from general release. Having said that, some of the demonstrations seemed familiar.
The Virtual Reality headset, allowing service personnel to 'see' inside a large gas turbine was impressive, but sounded very similar to solutions that GE have been talking about.
More impressive was the Augmented Reality solutions that simulated the inside conditions of a working motor, but then also allowed the user to control the speed of the motor to control the temperature. Again, these are already being trialled by other vendors as ways to augment service personnel, although those solutions do not typically allow control via the AR system.
Siemens Innovation Awards
In the evening, analysts were invited to the Innovation Awards. This is an internal Siemens event, honouring staff that have made a significant contribution to innovation. Additionally, there was another award, which is sponsored by Siemens that rewards innovation that has made a significant contribution to the health of the German economy. This was slightly surreal, as the entire ceremony was conducted in English (the official language of Siemens)…
But the purpose of inviting analysts was clear – Siemens wanted to highlight the depth and breadth of its innovation. This is not just in design and automation software and hardware, but the full range of medical devices, trains and gas turbines. This range is important to remember, as it provides Siemens with an in-built store of live testers. For example, its Digital Twin capability will have been used in anger by its own manufacturing facilities.
Innovation day itself
Joe Kaeser, CEO, talking about digitalisation as a growth driver
Joe Kaeser gave the opening keynote speech. The theme was around the "need to create an innovative environment" within Siemens that encourages new product development.
One of the keys to innovation is partnerships with customers and the value chain (and even competitors). It's about working together to add value. There is even a Siemens-funded venture capital program (next 47) to encourage entrepreneurs (including Siemens employees) and pursue their own passions on a path that could ultimately lead to commercialization of their ideas.
Something worth remembering is that Siemens is a very large company – it employs more people than Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and Google combined. Size can have a number of effects on R&D – larger companies often have bigger budgets and are more able to cope with setbacks. However, the bureaucracy within large companies can hamstring R&D efforts, allowing smaller, more nimble companies to make significant breakthroughs. Kaeser is keen to strike a balance. He wants to focus Siemens innovation on what will give results and create value. That innovation is not only in products and services, but also business models and processes, with the intention of making Siemens more innovative than ever.
Roland Busch, CTO
The full cycle of research, from initial University research through applied research and into product development, is being shortened by digitalization. It's all about speed and scale. According to Busch, Siemens research depends on the following qualities:
Deep domain know-how;
Strong installed base / connected fleet (depending on product);
Powerful ecosystem;
Digitalization portfolio of MindSphere, software, services and security;
Internal proof points.
Busch positioned MindSphere as connecting the virtual world to the real world, not just in the manufacturing industry, but also in construction.
Co-creation and co-location with customers is one of the key strengths for Siemens. There are now more than 900 MindSphere software developers, in 20 MindSphere Application Centers across 50 locations worldwide.
There were some examples of customers that are using MindSphere applications to improve their business:
Algonquin College in Canada saving $3.7m annually;
Amtrak gaining 99% availability;
Deutsche Bahn predicting >80% of failures;
A US Utility getting $1m savings through advanced metering;
Siemens electronics manufacturing reducing lead time from 25 days to <7.
Jan Mrosik, CEO Digital Factory Division
Jan Mrosik summed up the problems that Siemens is trying to solve. Customers are increasingly requiring a combination of the following:
Speed – reduced time to market;
Flexibility – down to lot size of 1;
Improved quality;
Improved cost / efficiency.
Often these require new business models and improved security.
The solution – Digital Twin
Siemens is digitalising the entire value chain:
Design > Production Planning > Production Engineering > Production Execution > Product Performance and Services
This chain is underpinned by Teamcenter, which also integrates supplier management and logistics.
Figure 3 – How the Siemens Digital Twin solutions work together to improve products and production
There is also a Digital Twin to support all 5 steps:
Digital Product Twin
enables capture, design, simulation and verification of models
Digital Production Twin (Virtual Production)
enables simulation of factory design and layout
simulates production and automation engineering
determines the code to run live production systems
Digital Performance Twin
Simulates how the product will perform in real life
Provides feedback into Digital Twins focused on earlier lifecycle phases
Can control or update products with embedded software
The Digital Twins form a self-learning loop to improve products and production.
Figure 4 – Bausch and Ströbel are using Digital twin technology to reduce engineering time
Some customers were present to show how they are using the solutions.
Bausch and Ströbel (makers of pharmaceutical packaging machinery) are using the Digital Twin to reduce engineering time. They use virtual commissioning to create programs that direct the movement of the machine, instead of building full-size wooden models. The virtual model can simulate use by a variety of different people – for example different strengths or sizes.
Heller is using digital technology to change its business model from selling machine tools to selling "machine time". This new pay-per-use model is supported by an application written on MindSphere that displays machine data in a dashboard. It is able to analyse maintenance situations and can contact customers to avoid uncontrolled failure.
Figure 5 – Heller has developed a MindSphere application to remotely monitor its machine tools
Matthias Rebellius – CEO Building Technology Division
The division's mission was succinctly stated as "creating perfect places with the power of data". Smart buildings are a potential source of competitive advantage.
The opportunity to optimise building use is huge:
40% of energy use is from buildings;
80% of building lifecycle costs are from operations;
30% of real estate is flexible office space.
Operators want lower maintenance costs, but with high reliability and high operating efficiency. The Siemens solution addresses these 3 main areas of importance for operators:
Comfortable and safe
Users want optimized room conditions – smart sensors;
They want good air quality;
They want to be safe and secure.
Energy and asset efficiency
High asset availability;
Reduced maintenance costs;
Predictive / preventative maintenance – reduce reactive services and increase asset lifetime;
Optimised energy footprint (reduced CO2 emissions).
Space and user efficiency
High occupancy;
Asset tracking;
Indoor navigation;
Intelligent evacuation.
Infrastructure Digital Twins
Much as in Manufacturing, Siemens has a suite of Infrastructure Digital Twin technologies that cover the full scope of Design, Build and Operate. This is in partnership with Bentley Systems. The cover infrastructure simulation, construction simulation and asset performance simulation. The Building Technology division focuses on the Infrastructure Performance Digital Twin. Alongside the MindSphere applications, facilities managers can assess the performance of their assets and identify where things are not performing as they should.
The example shown was of an office building that was using power at unexpected times of the day and over the weekend. That flagged the system to identify the specific asset at fault – and air conditioning unit that was heating and cooling at the same time.
Siemens Real Estate is using the solution (as you might expect) and claims to be making €20m savings per year as a result.
Siemens has a very advanced vision of the Digital Twin, which very neatly brings together its technologies for design, engineering, production and product performance. It also recognises the need to have an open platform that 3rd-party developers and customers can run their own applications on.
The Digital Twin is still very early in its lifecycle and it remains to be seen what features customers will find most useful – and be willing to pay for. But Siemens is in a strong position to make the most of that demand, as one of the early leaders.

First Vietnamese American judge to speak at VABAW Banquet
The International Examiner
BY DENISE TRAN
VABAW
The Vietnamese American Bar Association of Washington (VABAW) is honored to have professor Wendy N. Duong of the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver serve as the keynote speaker at its Second Annual Banquet on Nov. 1. The theme for the Banquet is "Raising the Bar" and Duong has been doing just that all her life. She escaped to the United States after the fall of Saigon at the age of 16 and has been living the American Dream ever since. She is a pioneer and hers is a success story marked by many firsts.
Duong is devoted to her native country, fellow Americans and to the legal profession. Regarding her career path, she states, "To me, law is a beautiful end in itself – containing notions of freedom, liberty and justice for all. I will never give up working with the law. It is not just a day job."
She graduated summa cum laude from Southern Illinois University and began her career in the public education sector. She quickly became the first Asian American woman appointed by the Houston Independent School District to an executive position at the age of 24. She later went on to receive a J.D. from the University of Houston Law School and an LL.M. from Harvard Law School. She has over 18 years of experience in corporate law and worked as a special trial attorney for the Securities and Exchange Commission Office of General Counsel and as senior legal advisor for Mobil-Asia Pacific. She also served as an associate municipal judge and magistrate for the State of Texas and was honored by the American Bar Association in 1992 as the first Vietnamese American judge in the United States. She is currently teaching corporate law at the Sturm College of Law and is only one of a handful of Vietnamese Americans in the profession.
Apart from the law, Duong's other passion is art. She is a talented painter and published author always in search of the right balance between law and literature. Duong's first published novel, "Daughters of a River Huong," is an epic fiction about a Vietnamese royal concubine and four generations of her descendents told behind a backdrop stretching from ancient Hue to Paris to Manhattan. It was selected as part of the recommended reading for Vietnamese Studies at Yale University.
Duong has also donated much of her time and resources for charitable causes in support of women, minorities, children and the poor. She founded a charity to help the underprivileged in Vietnam and has donated her art to help raise money for Katrina victims. She embodies the strength, character, wisdom and devotion of a Vietnamese American woman and VABAW is proud to welcome her to the banquet and to Seattle.
VABAW is pleased to present, for the first time, its Community Service Award recognizing an individual who has given time and talent generously in service to the community and has made a significant contribution in the lives of Vietnamese Americans in Washington. This year's recipient of the award is Thao Tran of the Rainier Valley Community Development Fund. Formerly founding member of the Vietnamese American Economic Development Association (VAEDA), Tran has tirelessly worked to educate and ensure that the interests of Vietnamese Americans, especially the small business owner, are protected. He is passionate, dedicated and fearless. We are honored to recognize his achievements.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for making this Banquet possible: Cairncross & Hempelmann P.S., Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, Cohen & Iaria, Perkins Coie LLP, Aoki Sakamoto Grant LLP, Helsell Fetterman LLP, and Preston Gates & Ellis LLP.

Education, PERA
Colorado PERA bailout punishes students, teachers and taxpayers
April 1, 2013 By Complete Colorado
As Colorado lawmakers consider an overhaul of the way the state funds K-12 education, more people are noticing that schools are increasingly forced to pay for the past rather than invest in the future.
Our public schools must take money out of the classroom in order to pay for investment losses and unaffordable promises that have created a $25 billion shortfall in the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA).
In August 2012, Adams 12 School District teachers protested a 2 percent salary reduction enacted explicitly to offset the rising cost of PERA's bailout plan. For 2012-13, Adams 12 will pay $190 million in salaries, plus $36 million for PERA and Medicaid.
In 2010-11, Colorado Springs School District 11 paid $21 million to PERA, according to the Colorado Springs Independent. Those payments, combined with funding reductions by the state legislature, led the district to close schools and make cuts that affected everything from textbooks to class size to suspending pay increases.
District 11 chief financial officer Glenn Gustafson told the Independent: "To improve student achievement, it's more important than ever to attract qualified and talented teachers. But we're shifting a disproportionate amount of compensation to retirement benefits and health care."
For 2011-12, my hometown Burlington School District RE-6J, with just 738 pupils, faced a $300,000 budget deficit — half of that amount caused by the cost of PERA's bailout. For 2012-13, the district decreased salaries by $54,399, but the mandatory PERA contribution increased by $38,594.
Many rank-and-file PERA members simply want a reliable retirement. However, lobbying groups and lawsuits purporting to represent PERA members are obviously more concerned with preserving current benefits than the finances of younger workers now and at retirement.
Responsibility for ensuring a sustainable benefit structure rests with the PERA Board of Trustees and, ultimately, with state legislators and the governor. To continue to promise benefits that are unaffordable and unsustainable is simply unconscionable.
In 2013, the cost of the PERA bailout — not including standard employee and employer contributions — in just the School Division is an estimated $244 million, or $299 for each of the 817,221 students funded by the School Finance Act. In a classroom off 20, that's nearly $6,000 that cannot be spent to make students smarter or pay good teachers better.
This cost will increase by another 56 percent by 2018 — to an estimated $9,340 per classroom — and continue for at least 35 years, when today's first-graders will have children who are old enough to drive.
Do PERA pensioners really believe that keeping every last cent of their benefits is worth taking nearly $10,000 away from their grandchildren's classrooms?
Parents must wonder: What can possibly justify penalizing two full generations of students for a mess created long before their lives began?
For young teachers, the PERA bailout plan leads to a vicious cycle. A teacher who starts work today will soon see his or her wages and benefits suppressed by 10 percent per year to pay for the bailout. Adding insult to injury, lower salaries result in lower retirement benefits.
School boards, too, are caught in a vice because some 80 percent of their district budgets pay for salaries and benefits. No other line item is large enough to produce the savings necessary to pay for the tremendous cost of the PERA bailout.
Likewise, the PERA bailout is crowding other priorities out of the state budget. When fully implemented in 2018, it will cost more than the general fund expenditure for any department except for the four largest — Education, Corrections, Health Care Policy and Financing, and Human Services, based on the most current data available.
If we truly value our future, then we really should ask if it's wise to shortchange schools for the next 35 years in order to pay for past mistakes.
Mark Hillman served as Colorado State Treasurer and a member of PERA's board of trustees. This op-ed originally appeared in the Denver Post.
Hillman: No on Prop 113; National Popular Vote bad for Colorado

The Luangwa Valley in Zambia is one of Africas last great wildernesses. A rich mosaic of ebony forests and grassy plains, its home to a vast array of colourful species including carmine-bee-eaters, hyenas, lions, vultures, crocodiles and insects such as praying mantis. This series follows the challenges the valleys wildlife must overcome during the long dry season as they await the life-giving rains.
The Luangwa Valley in Zambia experiences one of the toughest dry seasons imaginable. Seven months with no rain and spiralling temperatures. And with this years El Nino conditions the drought is threatening to be even more intense than usual.


A friend mentioned to me that she had heard Fr. Boyle interviewed and she came away with the idea that he wasn't keen on prayer. I pondered that. And it came to me that Father Boyle is in the business (Your Business, God) of Being With. He hangs out with the same folks that Jesus hung out with. Folks that the Righteous have judged and turned away from. He loves them. He listens to them. And I bet that sometime he might even say a few choice words.
The older I get the more I appreciate the blessings of being with. There is a lot of communication going on below our mental radar when we are truly there WITH another person.
So, I'm eager to go hear Fr. Boyle this coming April 22 . . . I wonder if my wonderful husband Kit will go with me . . . or go to the opera we have tickets for. Hmm. In the meantime I have been moved by hearing him read his latest book. Thanks, God!

Genre: Military
From 9 Ratings
Preserved in China for more than 2,000 years before it was brought to the West by the French, this compact little book is widely regarded as the oldest military treatise in the world. Rumored to have been used by Napoleon in his campaigns to conquer Europe, it today retains much of its original merit. American officers read it closely during World War II. The Japanese army studied the work for decades, and many 20th-century Chinese officers are said to have known the book by heart. More recently, it has also been viewed as a valuable guide to competing successfully in business.
Stressing the importance of attacking your enemy when he is unprepared and scheming to discover his plans, the author advises avoiding the strong and striking at the weak, and using spies for every kind of business. Principles of strategy, tactics, maneuvering, and communications, the treatment of soldiers, the importance of strong troops and well-trained officers, and the administration of rewards and punishments all have a modern ring to them.
A valuable guide to the conduct of war, this classic of military strategy is indispensable to military personnel, history enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by competition and rivalry.

the power of j. dilla's production
By Myles E. Johnson
553 Picks
J. Dilla's production made my world tender. I remember hearing Donuts for the first time and my ears and heart opening up to what was blossoming inside of me — the production was complicated but still vulnerable. Not complicated in a way that technology and computer coding is complicated, but intricate like what is needed to create a handmade quilt. This is what J. Dilla gave me: something to be comfortable and complicated inside of that will embrace you. The power of Dilla's production gave such complicated warmth to everyone every track his production graced.
But it was D'angelo cooing on "So Far To Go," that still gives me the warm, fuzzy feeling. Only rivaled by Erykah Badu's "Telephone" that appeared on her New Amerykah: The World War, not Dilla's Donuts, that gives me a similar feeling. It's a haunting immaterial thing that's hard to articulate, but when you listen to the last sounds of the legend you know something special and intimate is happening. Maybe, the feeling of someone now dead pouring their last ounce of life into something is the feeling I'm naming.
On Dilla Day, but everyday, Dilla's influence on hip-hop is felt — perhaps even haunted by — his fantastic care. His incredible warmth. His absolute embrace of (even obsession with once we consider the sheer quantity of production he has given us) of the intricate and soulful. There are producers I love doing similar work, albeit in their own way, like No I.D., Salaam Remi, and DJ Premier and this brings me delight and some calm that the musical soundscape Dilla helped build is still being expanded. Every February 7th, I miss J. Dilla and have complicated, warm thoughts about how riveting Dilla's music would be if he was still here to haunt us.

The present study was an attempt to investigate the significance of environmental changes on the development of writing in EFL context with respect to the individual and compared impacts of collaboration, asynchronous computer mediation (ACM), and individual learning on the writing fluency of EFL learners. To this end, four intact writing classes were designated as Collaborative Face to Face group, Asynchronous Computer Mediation group, Individual Face to Face and Control group. The three experimental groups received scaffolding instructions on narrative essays. The three mentioned groups went through the working in pairs (CFFG), working asynchronously through a researcher-designed website (ACMG), and working individually in a conventional classroom setting (IFFG). The results showed that CFFG improved in terms of fluency and positive impact of Collaborative approach over the ACMG and IFFG. The findings emphasized the benefits of pair work and showed that learners working in pairs were more fluent in their writing.
