It was just about a year ago that Polaris took the class of sport side-by-sides to a new level with the introduction of the Ranger RZR XP 900. Polaris has decided to expand its new platform by making room for two more passengers with its new Ranger RZR XP 4 900.

We absolutely loved the RZR XP 900 and consumers seemed to agree as Polaris says it was the fastest selling vehicle in the company’s history. We expect the new RZR XP 4 900 will easily be the most capable, highest powered, multi-passenger side-by-side in the industry.

Polaris has included has many of the same attributes found in the RZR XP 900; the 88 horsepower, ProStar 900 Twin engine, 3-Link Trailing Arm Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with 12.5 in. of ground clearance and 14 in. of travel, On-Demand True All-Wheel Drive and low center of gravity. To top it all off, the RZR XP 4 900 has a class-leading 107 in. of wheelbase to not only accommodate two more passengers, but also to provide the smoothest ride possible.

2012 Polaris Ranger RZR XP 4 900 DuneWith four seats available even more people can experience the extreme performance of the RZR XP.

“Polaris continues to innovate the Ranger RZR line by developing highly sought-after vehicles that offer the ultimate combination of power, suspension and agility,” says Dave Longren, vice president and general manager of Polaris’ Off-Road Vehicles Division. “With the instant success of the RZR XP 900 and the popularity of multi-passenger vehicles throughout the industry, it was a natural progression to develop an extreme-performing vehicle that four can enjoy.”

2012 Polaris Ranger RZR XP 4 900 Action FrontPower is provided by the 88-horsepower ProStar 900 Twin EFI engine.

At the heart of the RZR XP 4 900 is the 88 horsepower ProStar 900 Twin EFI engine that was built specifically for an extreme-performance side-by-side and first found in the RZR XP 900. The engine features Dual OverHead Cams (DOHC), four big valves per cylinder and dual throttle bodies located close to the intake valves for fast throttle response and groundbreaking acceleration.

In order to handle the massive power of the engine and keep the ride smooth, the RZR XP 4 900 features a 3-Link Trailing Arm IRS. The 3-link design consists of two extra-long radius rods and a far forward-connecting trailing arm resulting in a strong, yet lightweight system. And, for the first time on a Side-by-Side, the RZR XP 4 900 will offer Premium, 2.5 in body, Walker Evans rear shocks, the largest stock shocks on the market. The massive 2.5-inch body shocks are designed to deliver higher damping forces and avoid shock fade compared to a 2-inch body shock thanks to a 35 percent larger piston area that is designed to reduce internal pressure and heat generation.  The shock also contains 35 percent more oil volume, which should slow the rate of heat buildup when pounding through the roughest terrain. Up front you’ll find 2.0 in. Walker Evans shocks. Preload and compression adjustability is available at all four corners.

2012 Polaris Ranger RZR XP 4 900 Action LeftA low center of gravity and long wheelbase should offer a very smooth ride.

Along with its low center of gravity, the engine-behind-the-seat design and strategically-placed key components of the RZR XP 4 900 are designed to optimize vehicle weight distribution and deliver sharp handling while the rear suspension maximizes traction and power in the corners. To provide precise cornering, the suspension’s radius rods extend deep into the wheel hubs and feature an uneven link geometry that Polaris says optimizes camber. This allows the tires to lean into the corner through the suspension travel, and plant more tire surface on the ground for maximum control. For added agility, Polaris will have a limited edition RZR XP 4 900 with electronic power steering for added control and less rider fatigue in the rough stuff. This is no throwaway point. As much as we love the RZR XP 900, we would have appreciated power steering to soften the steering a little. We wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Polaris offer EPS as an option on the RZR XP 900 in the near future.

2012 Polaris Ranger RZR XP 4 900 Liquid Silver ActionA Limited Edition model with electronic power steering is available for an extra $1,500.

We’re curious about how life in the rear seats of the RZR XP 4 900 will be, but Polaris says rear passengers have ample amount of head-room and a rear passenger handrail. As well, similar to the front passengers, rear passengers also have a 12-volt plug in and two cup holders. Also, all four bucket seats are interchangeable and offer 4 in. of front-to-rear adjustability. For safety, RZR XP 4 900 has four side protective nets and a certified roll-over protective structure (ROPS).

The RZR XP 4 900 is offered in Indy Red ($17,999) and a premium automotive quality Vogue Silver limited edition model with electronic power steering ($19,499), and will be available at Polaris dealerships in January. PURE Polaris will have a wide range of accessories, including cargo boxes, winches and protection also available at launch.

THE CLINTON ENIGMA A Four-and-a-Half Minute Speech Reveals this President's Entire Life

by | Read by David Maraniss

Biography & Memoir • 3.5 hrs. • Audio Program • ©

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maraniss adequately reads what is, in essence, a repackaging of his biography of our forty-second president, FIRST IN HIS CLASS: A BIOGRAPHY OF BILL CLINTON. Maraniss takes Clinton's now famous August 17, 1998, speech regarding Monica Lewinsky and the Starr investigation and parses it into its smallest sections, showing the connections between that speech and earlier events in Clinton's life. The audiobook includes Clinton's entire speech and replays key excerpts. Maraniss's reading is good for a print journalist; his voice is low, calm, serious and credible; he gives a measured and careful reading. M.L.C. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 99]

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Ruth Ann Phimister

Fiction • 8 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1999

In seventeenth-century Delft, poor, Protestant, 16-year-old Griet must go to work in the Catholic household of Johannes Vermeer. A novel as detailed as the paintings of the Delft Master is read by Ruth Ann Phimister with care and wonderment. Griet and Vermeer grow close as she cleans his studio, grinds white lead, and eventually poses for him. The household is not privy to this intimacy, but Vermeer's wife, Catherina, and daughter, Marta, grow suspicious and jealous. Filled with characters from all strata of society, the story carries the listener on a voyage of time and culture. Phimister does not have to deal with much dialogue. This is a reminiscence, and Griet is a silent and pensive girl, but the overall flow of the reading is charming, entrancing, and engrossing. The finest way to listen to this beautifully crafted book is to have a Vermeer catalog at hand. The Concert, used in the novel to hide the fact that Vermeer is simultaneously painting Griet, was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and is still missing. B.H.B.

I ordered this canvas cargo liner and was amazed. The quality and fit are amazing.

New For 2013

In 2012, Mercedes-Benz introduced the second-generation CLS with more masculine styling, electric power steering, optional all-wheel drive, and two new eight-cylinder engines. For 2013, the CLS adopts Mercedes’ second-generation onboard telematics system, called Mbrace2. In addition to concierge service and emergency crash notification, Mbrace2 can notify parents if the car exceeds a certain speed or drives outside a predefined geographical area.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS established the four-door coupe genre in 2006. Although the sleek shape erodes some of the practicality associated with a typical four-door, the success of the CLS reinforces a simple truth: people want beautiful cars. Mechanically, the CLS is a reskinned E-class with high-end equipment. But it is about three inches longer and two inches lower than the E-class, and the sweeping roofline creates a more intimate cabin. The top of the windshield sits closer to passengers, and the center console stretches between the rear seats, making the CLS strictly a four-seater. Optional active parking assist steers the CLS into parallel-parking spots as the driver controls the throttle and brakes. A twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 good for 402 hp powers the base CLS550. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is standard in the CLS550 4Matic. The CLS63 AMG uses the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 to produce 518 hp and 4.4-second runs to 60 mph. The AMG car incorporates stop/start technology to eliminate fuel consumption when stopped at traffic lights. Every CLS is equipped with Mercedes’ Airmatic suspension and a well-mannered seven-speed automatic transmission. Factor in the beautiful body of this posh cruiser, and it’s easy to see why the CLS sells for $12,000 more than the E-class that it’s based on.

ABS; front, side, front pelvis and knee, and side curtain air bags; tire-pressure monitoring; drowsiness alert; and traction and stability control are standard. Adaptive cruise control with collision mitigation, a rearview camera, night vision, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear side air bags are optional.

  • Sensuous looks
  • Pleasant yet powerful
  • Loads of technology available

You won’t like:

  • Smallish rear seats

2007 Hyundai Entourage

The plans for the Hyundai Entourage minivan were written up many months ago. Then they were unceremoniously torn out of Hyundai‘s product-plan book last summer when officials decided that the brand didn’t need a minivan in today’s crossover-happy market. But just recently, the plans were pulled back out of the garbage bin, uncrumpled, and the Entourage was made ready for its Chicago-show debut.

The Entourage shares just about everything underneath its skin with its well-done-but-unexciting corporate cousin, the . (Actually, the two mom vans are Mary-Kate-and-Ashley similar on the outside, too.) This means one powertrain choice: a strong 242-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 teamed to a five-speed manu-matic driving the front wheels. Standard features include flat-folding third-row seating, numerous air bags, stabillity control, a windshield-wiper de-icer, and a tire-pressure-monitoring system, not to mention Hyundai’s impressive 10-year powertrain warranty. The lengthy options list adds power-sliding doors and tailgate, power-adjustable pedals, a clever thirteen-speaker Infiniti sound system, and rear-seat DVD entartainment.

Hyundai’s first minivan should turn out to be a fine vehicle, but don’t expect HBO to accept any advertising deals for it’s hit TV show, “Entourage.” Even the low base price of $23,795 wouldn’t help this van’s case in a garage with a . This is one Entourage Vince Chase just wouldn’t be seen with.

Cyberthreats are growing and companies are having trouble finding enough specialist IT staff (Photo: IBM)

A new study has found that companies and organizations are having a tough time finding the cybersecurity experts they need in a world increasingly exposed to digital dangers.

Isaca, a global IT association, found that more than 25 pc of companies surveyed needed six months or more to fill cybersecurity positions. In Europe, almost one-third of such openings remain unfilled.

Companies surveyed also said they receive far fewer applications for cybersecurity positions than for other corporate job openings. And 37 pc of companies said that fewer than 25 pc of the candidates have the requisite qualifications.

The problem is compounded by a sharp increase in demand for cybersecurity experts. “Though the field of cyber security is still relatively young, demand continues to skyrocket and will only continue to grow in the coming years,” said Christos Dimitriadis, chairman of Isaca’s board and IT direcxtor at Intralot, a Greek gaming systems company.

Isaca CEO Matt Loeb said in a press statement that companies are particularly keen to hire IT experts who can hit the ground running.

“Employers are looking for candidates to make up for lost time but that doesn’t necessarily mean a significant academic investment,” he said. “Many organizations place more weight in real-world experience and performance-based certifications and training that require far less time than a full degree program.”

Ford plans to have an SAE level 4 autonomous vehicle on the road by 2021 (Photo: Ford)

Ford Motor plans to invest 1 billion dollars in artificial intelligence by acquiring a majority stake in Argo IA.

The artificial intelligence startup will continue to operate independently from Ford, but the carmaker said Argo AI will play an important role in the development of autonomous-driving technologies.

“We believe that investing in Argo AI will create significant value for our shareholders by strengthening Ford’s leadership in bringing self-driving vehicles to market in the near term and by creating technology that could be licensed to others in the future,” Ford Motor CEO Mark Fields said in a statement.

Ford plans to combine its current team of developers working on autonomous vehicles with robotics experts from Argo AI.

Argo AI was founded by former Google and Uber executives. The company is run by Bryan Salesky, CEO, and Peter Rander, COO. Both are alumni of Carnegie Mellon National Robotics Engineering Center. They previously worked on the self-driving car teams of Google and Uber, respectively.

Ford and other carmakers are investing heavily in artificial intelligence and machine learning, which are seen as key disciplines for autonomous driving technologies. Ford plans to have an autonomous vehicle on the market by 2021.

One of the problems the auto industry is facing is the need to adapt to the much faster development culture of the high-tech sector. Ford said the combination of Argo AI’s agility and its own automotive skillset would help advance its autonomous vehicle program.

Raj Nair, Ford’s CTO said: “This open collaboration is unlike any other partnership – allowing us to benefit from combining the speed of a startup with Ford’s strengths in scaling technology, systems integration and vehicle design.”

Argo AI is expected to have more than 200 staff by year end. They are based in the company’s Pittsburgh headquarters and at engineering hubs in Michigan and California.

CIOs in German-speaking countries put a high priority on improving data networking and the development of data analysis.

According to a new study, they also prioritize new products and services and the expansion of cloud capacity.

The “IT Trends 2017” survey conducted by consultants Capgemini last September and October in Germany, Switzerland and Austria found that CIOs see a shortage of qualified personnel, inflexible business processes and rigid organizational structures as the biggest hurdles on the way to digitization.

“Digitization clearly is less a technical and much more an organizational challenge,” Capgemini Germany CTO Uwe Dumslaff said in a statement.

The study concluded that the trend toward more agile ways of working stalled in the past 12 months. The consultants said this was probably because the new approach was difficult to reconcile with traditional organization models. And they cited problems with staff acceptance of agile work methods.

Fewer companies than the year before also said they were engaged in big-data projects, but Capgemini said this could reflect consolidation in some industry sectors. They cited growing interest in big data overall.

The CIOs polled identified five major trends: cloud security, security automation, BYOx security, privacy by design and predictive analytics. Said Dumslaff: “IT security across the board is the main issue.”

At CES, chipmaker Nvidia announced it will equip Mercedes with AI technology (Photo: Nvidia)

The global market for so-called “cognitive computing” application is set to almost double in 2017, according to Germany’s high-tech association, Bitkom.

The projection reflects the focus that many companies, including automakers, are putting on hardware and software that mimics the workings of the human brain. Cognitive computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning are all seen as approaches that can help digital technologies make a quantum leap in capabilities.

Bitkom said global sales of systems and applications that have the ability to learn are set to grow 92 pc to 4.3 billion euros this year. The market for cognitiive computing is set to expand further to 21.2 billion euros by 2020.

“Artificial intelligence… is the basis for digital voice assistants, text-based dialog systems such as chatbots and facial recognition in photos or videos,” said Mathias Weber, who heads Bitkom’s IT services division.

In the auto industry, R&D executives believe that artificial intelligence will be essential for autonomously driving cars.

At this year’s CES, Honda unveiled a small electric mini vehicle concept (Photo: Honda)

Honda Motor and Hitachi Automotive Systems plan to jointly develop electric motors in a joint venture they plan to establish by July of this year.

A name for the venture hasn’t yet been decided. Hitachi will be the majority owner with a 51 pc stake.

The move underlines Honda’s commitment to electric vehicles (EVs) as expectations grow for a fast expansion of the market in coming years.

China is widely seen as the EV market with the highest medium-term potential, but Honda also sees growth opportunities in other parts of the world.

“Half of the all-new models Honda will launch in the United States in the coming two years will be electrified vehicles,”  Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo said in a recent press release. “In the long term, electrified vehicles are key to the future of carbon-free mobility.”

Honda has set a global target for two-thirds of all sales to come from electrified models by 2030. It also wants to halve its total company CO2 emissions from 2000 levels by 2050.

The Japan-based joint venture will have subsidiaries in the US and China, where the company plans to both manufacture and sell products.

The new company won’t be the exclusive supplier of electric motors to Honda, the two companies said. Hitachi will continue to supply electric motors to other companies, while Honda will continue to use motors it manufactures itself.

Hitachi Automotive Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hitachi conglomerate, makes a wide range of  automotive components and systems, including electric powertrains, drive control systems and car information systems.

Tata Motors expects its new modular platforms to make it easier to introduce new technologies (Photo: Tata Motors)

Tata Motors has formed a new unit that will help the Indian automotive group develop new business areas.

The division, which is called Tamo, will unveil its first product at the Geneva auto show early next month.

Tamo will serve as an incubator for new technologies, business models and partnerships, the company said. The open platform is designed to connect Tata with startups and tech companies that can help it define the new business areas it wants to develop.

Tata Motors CEO Guenter Butschek cited six themes the carmaker will pursue: topline improvement, cost management, structural improvements, customer centricity, new mobility solutions and organizational effectiveness.

The success of Tata Motors “depends on our ability to deliver on our comprehensive strategies for our business units,” he said in a statement. “To secure our future in a rapidly changing environment, the advanced mobility solutions space is of utmost importance.”

Tata Motors is India’s biggest automotive company. It owns Britain’s Jaguar Land Rover Group.

As part of a new passenger-vehicle strategy, Tata Motors plans to produce seven or eight variants from two modular vehicle platforms. The platform strategy, it said, will allow the development and marketing of new technologies in the areas of powertrain, driver assistance and connectivity.

The company acknowledged that it needs to make substantial changes to be successful in the rapidly evolving personal mobility market. Tamo will help make those changes, Tata Motors said.

“The idea is to find new and agile ways of innovating and experimenting,” Tata Motors President Tim Leverton said in the statement. “Our success in this new mobility world will be contingent on our ability to network globally and to partner with new thought leaders.”

Tata Motors said Tamo will specifically look for opportunities at worldwide innovation hubs, where it hopes to work with startup companies.

Jeff Massimilla was named chief product cybersecurity officer of General Motors (GM) in 2014. His appointment, one of the first of its kind in the global auto industry, underscored the crucial importance of cyber safety for the coming generations of fully connected cars. Massimilla spoke to automotiveIT at the Detroit auto show in January. Excerpts:

What was your brief when you assumed your current role two years ago?
Jeff Massimilla: The brief was really to look across the entire connected automotive ecosystem and make informed risk-based decisions. At GM, we had had online systems since 1997 and we had cybersecurity in all parts of the company. But all these things were starting to come together, which made a comprehensive approach a priority.

Cybercrime is arguably one of the biggest risks to the digital transformation of the auto industry. Given the omnipresence of the threat, is it actually possible to protect connected cars?
It’s very clear that there is no such thing as absolute security, but at GM cybersecurity and the security posture of our products and services is foundational. It is embedded throughout all our processes and we design with security in mind. My role is to protect the vehicle ecosystem. I’m optimistic because the amount of dedication we bring to the task at GM is so very strong.

Cybersecurity seems to be an area where you cannot really go it alone. Is the global auto industry adopting some kind of global approach?
I am vice chairman of AUTO-ISAC, a global organization for sharing and analysing information. Of real value here is our sharing of vulnerability information. We don’t just share this information, but we also look at how a threat manifests itself and how it is resolved. The idea of collaboration is very new in this hyper-competitive industry, but there’s an amazing amount of energy from the member companies going into AUTO-ISAC. I don’t think we’ve ever had competing companies interacting with each other at this level in this industry. At GM, we don’t view cybersecurity or security as a competitive advantage. It’s the cost of doing business and you’re seeing this in the entire industry. We all have to keep our customers safe.

By insisting on a high degree of security, are you slowing down innovation? Or do some people in the company feel that you play such a role?
My organization consists of 80 people globally with a different sets of talents. These people are embedded in all the different GM entities: autonomous vehicle programs, regular vehicle programs, OnStar, infotainment systems. They make sure we design and develop with security in mind. And if we architect our products securely with defensive measures and layers in place and if we go through the right checks, the resulting products will have the appropriate security posture and the right capabilities. If you don’t operate that way, you may, in the end have to say “We cannot launch a product because it’s not positioned well.”

Is protecting a connected car comparable to protecting a home computer?
I would not draw the analogy between a connected automotive ecosystem and a computer. There are a lot of IT and information security elements that apply particularly to a vehicle. A key element is preventing people from uploading unauthorized software. At home, you make your own decision how to protect your computer, but we feel that, with the car, it’s our responsibility to provide the appropriate security posture and manage vulnerability over the life of the product. Being able to securely deliver software to the vehicle and provide patches over the air (OTA) is an important part of that.

Won’t autonomous driving mean even more connectivity for the car and thus more vulnerabilities you have to deal with?
The task will become more complex but the basic principle remains the same. We’re still talking about connected vehicles and we still need to protect information systems and vehicle systems. It’s just more connections we have to deal with.

Studies cite big networking deficits in car plants (Photo: Tesla)

Digital technologies need to be fully embedded in the automotive manufacturing process if automakers are to succeed with efforts to modernize car production. That is one of the key messages of nextLAP, a startup that has developed an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for automotive manufacturing. nextLAP believes the industry needs to adopt a holistic concept that embraces digitization as an integral part of the production process.

Until now, production systems have generally been built on four pillars: cycle rates, pull, flow and perfection. The approach has been inspired by the Toyota production system, which embodies both the lean and kaizen philosophies. Core characteristics are smoothed and leveled-out operations, the systematic elimination of any waste, standardization, and a well organized work force.

nextLAP believes networking should also be a central characteristic of the manufacturing process, as digitization is a big enabler of faster efficiency improvements. “It is only with the anchoring of digitization in the production system that it will become a core component of optimized production operations,” said Andre Ziemke, CEO and co-founder of nextLAP. “Digitization is the key element of process integration.”

Automakers are listening, but so far, many Industry 4.0 projects remain in the testing phase and money isn’t being spent on an overall strategy, Ziemke said. He believes the time has come for the next step: deploying the new technologies. “No one has yet answered the question of how to bring the findings into the production process,” he said.

Networking everything

In the digitized production system envisioned by nextLAP, a cloud platform is used to network everything, including racks, cordless screwdrivers, RFID readers, and even trucks that deliver materials.

Employees are given a platform interface tailored to a specific target group. That’s important, Ziemke said, to reduce complexity and get the manufacturing teams on board. “The approach must be anchored in the rules of the production process so it can become a matter of course for employees as well,” he said.

When production employees add elements of digitization to the existing manufacturing system, they achieve a common understanding of Industry 4.0 as the vision, Ziemke said. The set of rules expanded in this way becomes the basis of a digitization strategy for manufacturing.

As part of the new paradigm, machine learning, the use of data to control production, 100 percent digitization based on the Internet of Things, and the right network infrastructure also need to become central pillars of Industry 4.0 manufacturing.

Kearney study

nextLAP sees a major efficiency boost coming from increased manufacturing digitization (Photo: nextLAP)

A study by consultants AT Kearney has found that around 60 percent of processes and systems in production and logistics are not sufficiently networked. This leads to duplicate work as well as reduced utilization and efficiency.

Experts see the rejection of traditional department subdivisions as the minimal requirement for accomplishing anything. “A silo mentality is one of the biggest problems of larger companies in particular,” said Michael Roemer, a partner and digital transformation specialist at AT Kearney. “It develops over the course of years. For the most part, existing capacity was expanded to handle growth, instead of increasing the potential for greater efficiency through horizontal networking,” he added.

That meant that more often than not, companies would rather put up another warehouse than optimize the flow between production and logistics. In the process, they would pass up an opportunity to save 30 to 40 pc storage space through the use of better networking, Roemer said. And they would forego the chance to use assets more efficiently and cut disposition times for containers.

Hohmann-Dennhardt spent slightly more than a year revamping VW’s ethics culture (Photo: Daimler)

Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt is leaving the Volkswagen Group management board, having served little more than a year as the carmaker’s top executive in charge of integrity and legal affairs.

VW and Hohmann-Denhardt decided to go separate ways because of “differences in their understanding of responsibilities and future operating structures within the function she leads,” the company said in a press release.

Hohmann-Dennhardt joined VW on January 1, 2016. She came from premium car group Daimler, where she had played a similar role, improving compliance, enforcing a stricter ethics culture and establishing standards that apply throughout the corporate structure.

At VW, Hohmann-Dennhardt faced a corporate culture that, experts say, was one of the main reasons the carmaker ended up willfully deceiving regulatory authorities about the emissions of a millions of its vehicles. The deceit, which came to light in September 2015, has so far cost VW billions of euros in fines and legal settlements.

VW said Hohmann-Dennhardt has improved the group’s compliance structures and has helped roll out a company-wide campaign to “foster the culture of integrity.” The company added that it has now “substantially elevated its commitment to working ethically and with integrity.”

To make sure this change in corporate culture becomes permanent, the carmaker has appointed Hiltrud Werner to succeed Hohmann-Dennhardt. Werner has been head of VW Group auditing for the past year. Earlier she served as chief audit executive at supplier ZF.

Werner started her career as project manager for process optimization at software developer Softlab and subsequently also worked at premium car group BMW and truck maker MAN. BMW bought Softlab in 1992.

Andre Ziemke: “The potential of digitization in manufacturing is gigantic” (Photo: Claus Dick)

Andre Ziemke is one of the co-founders of nextLAP, which has built a software platform designed to boost efficiency in car manufacturing. Ziemke spoke by phone recently to automotiveIT.

Why did you start nextLAP?
nextLAP co-founder Thomas (Stoeckel) and I were responsible for production and logistics systems in the Audi Group. We started a digitization process there in 2009, but we realized that the IT landscape in the auto industry is barely suitable for digitization. After having introduced some elements of digitization, we decided to leave the company and develop an integrated software solution comprising of engineering, production and logistics and using Internet-of-Things technology.

What’s so bad about the manufacturing systems used today around the world?
Today you need dozens of different IT systems to accurately capture, plan and execute logistics, manufacturing and assembly. And these systems are not really integrated. Implementing Internet-of-Things technologies on top of this landscape is vir- tually impossible, since the architecture of these systems date back to the 70s, 80s and 90s. We have a clear product strategy for our software to integrate all disciplines on one platform: logistics, manufacturing and even the supplier.

You say the systems are outdated. So should a carmaker just do away with everything and start anew?
The answer is probably: yes. But, obviously, no-one will do that. The way forward is to approach it one step at a time. You have to go on a digitization journey. We started with a small step, an interface between manufacturing and logistics: the “SmartRack” as we call it. Then you gradually include scanners and robots. You have to go step-by-step because you’re not working on a greenfield site.

And who are the clients today?
We already have BMW in Leipzig and Audi in Ingolstadt as our clients, as well as a maker of electric vehicles in California. We expanded to the US because we see big opportunities with automakers there. We recently rented working space in Silicon Valley and increased our development team there.

So you are going global? What about the Japanese manufacturers?
Yes, but mainly in the US. We’re talking with General Motors, Ford Motor and FiatChrysler. These car companies are very open-minded towards innovations in production. Japanese manufacturers follow a different philosophy, their focus is mainly on paper-based processes.

Who is your first point of contact at a car manufacturer?
We’re talking directly to the production heads at the car companies. Because they have the need to optimize quality, production figures and costs. Today, every young production engineer is familiar with IT. They have grown up with IT and they are aware that cars are not built without. The IT department plays an important role as well when it comes to roll-out and the need to scale up.

Do you have to discuss your proposals with every individual car plant?
Today, the different plants can decide on local solutions to some extent. There is an overall strategy but, as a plant manager is accountable for production figures, he has to quickly decide on innovations that help him fulfil his objectives.

Please describe the state of digitization in car manufacturing from your point of view
The potential of digitization in manufacturing is gigantic and IoT is coming with big steps. But the different company divisions, including production and logistics, do not yet know what to do with an IoT platform. That’s also why IT departments cannot yet provide process solutions. nextLAP has a process solution and can explain what the advantages are.

And you work in internet time?
Preparation takes a week and implementation takes another week, so in two weeks you have a system up and running for you to gather information and discuss. We also offer simplicity and cost transparency. The automaker rents our software. Transforming existing racks into “smart racks” can be easily done in a couple minutes. Switching them on takes a minute. We charge a monthly fee depending on the number of racks and installed devices.

What business advantage does a carmaker get by using nextLAP’s technology?
Peter Hochholdinger, former senior production director at Audi and now vice president production at Tesla, said our solution increases flexibility and reduces costs by a factor 10 and speeds up processes by a factor 100. In the future, the key to building cars will lie in smartly integrating the logistics processes with manufacturing and engineering. With our holistic approach at nextLAP, we can provide a solution.

UNICEF brings in the tiny reinforcements to dispel Ebola myths

A new UNICEF video uses kids to help explain why Ebola is bad and what can be done to stop it. The premise is to make it so simple that even a five year-old can understand. The humorous approach is an interesting way to both attempt to raise money for the Ebola response and knock down some myths about Ebola that seem to be spreading across the US.

There are definitely a few funny parts in the conversation. What I appreciate here is an attempt to be creative with providing information and reaching new audiences. Simply telling people facts about Ebola is not working. Just look at the reactions across the US to children and teachers traveling to non-endemic African countries. Reason is not necessarily winning out, so new ways to reach people are necessary.

Urmia Majlis deputy tells his constituency why they should re-elect him

Urumia, NW Iran, is the second largest city in the Iranian Azerbaijan and is the capital of West Azerbaijan. It is facing an environmental disaster as a result of Lake Urumia, the sixth largest saltwater lake on earth, drying up. You would think in a normal parliamentary election campaign rally, the sitting deputy's priority and that of his constituency supporters would be talking about how to prevent this looming calamity from happening.

The video below, which went viral on the Iranian social media, is that of Nader Ghazipour, who was re-elected last week, talking in Azeri to his supporters during an election campaign rally. Far from having any concerns about the Lake Urumia, Ghazipour is more keen on displaying his self styled manly traits to win the votes.

Read the translation below the video, to see how Ghazipour appeals to his supporters:

"I only respect one person in Tehran, and that is none other than our Supreme Leader. May God give him a long life [crowds cheer] - I am not the president's lackey, because I am the people's servant. I have been elected with the people's vote. In just 2 hours you have given me 200,000 votes. You have sharpened me to fight them. A boy was being circumcised and a girl on the other side was crying. They asked her why are you crying? She said they are sharpening him for me! [crowds cheer]

bullies have had their day. The era of tyranny is over, people have been freed, we have had a revolution, God brought Imam Khomeini for us. May God bless his two sons who have passed away. Let me tell you a recollection from the war. We took over the hills and positioned ourselves in the Iraqi trenches. It was 10 O'clock, I asked for 12 volunteers, 22 people volunteered, I said "I only want 12", they were fighting over it. I chose all the Azeris from amongst them, 13 Azeris including myself. We approached the Al-Amareh-Basra road, we faced 600-700 Iraqis, they all surrendered but we didn't have the means to keep them as prisoners, so we killed them all [crowds cheer].

May be there is no one amongst you who has ever had to chop the head of a chicken or a sheep, but I had to do it for the revolution, for Islam and for the martyrs [crowds cheer].

I set 700-800 tanks and armoured carriers on fire. Orders, came by noon that we should get back to our positions. We didn't get to where we are in this country to hand it over to kids and foxes. The Majlis is not the place for babies and donkeys [crowds cheer].

Majlis is no place for women, Majlis is for men [crowds cheer] You send women to Majlis, they will do things to them and bring shame on you, [crowds laugh].

Sheikh Ghodratollah Alikhani, was the deputy for Qazvin. Even if he said hello to the other deputies, they would be scared of him, he was after all the deputy for Qazvin [crowds laugh] - Qazvin is the butt of jokes in Iran for homosexual jokes - they told me Alikhani is in the toilets once, I went in there saw him bending over and jumped on his back [crowds laugh] I grabbed him so hard, he feinted on the floor [crowds laugh] listen...quiet...

A week later he saw me in the Majlis, so he showed his side to all the others and said "Look what Ghazipour did to me", I said "why don't you show them your other part [arse] for them so they can really see what I did to you" [crowds laugh] Brothers, Majlis is not a place for poofs [crowds cheer] "
Sheikh Ghodrat Alikhani whom
Ghazipour claims to have violated

The election campaign speech finishes by Ghazipour saying how proud he is of his Azeri accent and those deputies who claim to be educated and have PHDs have mostly obtained those fancy titles with fake certificates after the revolution.

Qdot 705 Streptavidin Conjugate Introduced by Quantum Dot Corporation - New Product

Quantum Dot Corporation (QDC) has announced a new addition to its nanocrystal-based family of fluorescent labels: the Qdot 705 streptavidin conjugate for ultra-bright, near infra-red bio-detection.

QDC also introduces the Qdot 705 Streptavidin Conjugate, the brightest near-infrared fluorophore available by far. This new conjugate is ideal for applications requiring visualization in turbid, opaque or otherwise scattering media such as in vivo experiments.

The Qdot 705 Streptavidin conjugate is useful in a wide range of applications, including: immunohistochemistry, in vivo labeling, western blots, solid-phase immunosorbent assays and flow cytometry.

Far-red and near-infrared light penetrates much more deeply into samples such as tissues, gels and animals than typical visible light, and also escapes from a greater depth. Additionally, autofluorescent background is significantly diminished in this spectral region, particularly when excitation is in the blue or UV range. Emission is well beyond the spectral range of typical sample autofluorescence. Also, scattering and other optical effects which reduce resolution are minimized in the red. These qualities are now coupled with the exceptional brightness and stability enabled by Qdot nanotechnology.

The Qdot 705 Streptavidin conjugate can be used with other colors of Qdot conjugates for multicolor analysis. It is orders of magnitude more photostable than Cy5 streptavidin conjugates and can be excited at many different wavelengths including 633nm, 532, and 405nm – common sources in an array of existing instrument platforms.

“At last year’s cell biology meeting, we launched our company’s first product. Since then, the product portfolio has been expanded significantly to include 6 Qdot colors and a range of different biomolecules including antibodies, streptavidin, protein A, and biotin. We are also beginning to see our customers publish landmark scientific papers, enabled by our Qdot products,” said Carol Lou, QDC’s president.

Quantum dots are nanoscale crystals of semiconductor material that glow, or fluoresce brightly when excited by a light source such as a laser. They are used by life-science researchers as tiny beacons, or markers, allowing them to easily see individual genes, nucleic acids, proteins or small molecules. Qdot conjugates work by seeking out and bonding with target materials. Once bound to a target, each individual Qdot particle emits light. Depending on their size, they can glow in a variety of colors and are up to 1,000 times brighter than fluorescent dyes.

“Development of the Qdot 705 product would not have been possible without the research funding provided by our grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Advanced Technology Program,” said Andy Watson, QDC’s vice president of business development. QDC was awarded a multi-million dollar grant in 2000 for the development of novel nanomaterials for bio-medical applications. NIST is a major recipient of funds appropriated under the recent 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act.

“Bring Your Own Storage” Model Gives IT Greater Control of Company Cloud Data

BOSTON, MA – August 6, 2013 — /BackupReview.info/ — Backupify, the leading provider of cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery solutions for Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, today announced plans to expand their support for multiple data storage providers to give customers more ownership over their data. Universal support for data storage providers helps companies control and manage their data – completely on their terms.

According to research firm IDC, it is estimated that public cloud services will account for almost $100 billion in spending by 2016. Not surprisingly, as more organizations embrace cloud computing solutions, there has been a significant increase in the amount of critical organizational data stored in the cloud. With vast amounts of data stored in SaaS apps and in the cloud, enterprise companies are seeking enhanced security, privacy, control, and access. Backupify’s universal storage provider support will enable IT organizations to retain comprehensive ownership of their data by having a second, independent copy of their SaaS data archives stored wherever they want. Initially, Backupify plans to offer support for the following cloud data storage providers: self-managed Amazon S3 storage accounts, Rackspace, and Google Cloud Storage. Additionally, Backupify has future plans to support on-premise storage.

“For many enterprise organizations, security and privacy remain a serious barrier to cloud adoption,” said Wayne Pauley, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “If SaaS vendors like Backupify can ease the transition to the cloud by providing companies with enhanced control over their data, this barrier can be lowered and the risks can be mitigated.”

“The growing trend among enterprise businesses is toward total data ownership,” said Rob May, CEO, Backupify. “Data should be stored wherever companies want it, available when they want it, and vendors need to support this desire for data storage flexibility. Many of our larger customers have existing relationships with data storage providers, and have been asking for centralized management of their data, including backups. These companies have massive amounts of data and want the ease of storing their data in one place, under their full control. Those customer requests were the motivation behind Backupify’s ‘Bring Your Own Storage’ (BYOS) product direction.”

Backupify currently stores a second copy of a customer’s data in an encrypted archive in Amazon’s reliable and scalable storage cloud. For those Backupify customers interested in using their own data storage provider, Backupify is currently testing with a select group of customers and welcomes additional participation. The BYOS pilot program allows customers to store their backups in their self-managed Amazon account. Expanded support for additional storage cloud providers will be available by year end.

Whatever others do or say, it is the captain's job to run the team and a tight ship. He has to be humble and well as a leader. Working with the head coach is vital.

Let's stop using the BCB as an excuse for the on field failings. Let them do what they need to do off the field and let's have the players do what they need to do on the field.
Only if it were that simple! it may be an option elsewhere but in our country it's simply not possible. If it weren't the case Mushi wouldn't have been sacked from Vice Captaincy once already for the very same reason as Shakib/Tamim--Attitude Problem, and still be considered the only viable option for Captaincy. In other words, why is Mushi being considered for Captaincy when he's clearly demonstrated in the past that he suffers from the same disease! The only other way to keep these BCB cronies happy is by losing one's manhood and becoming the quintessential "Yes Man" as someone has already articulated in one of the recent articles.

Help your children help you

By Jennie L. Phipps ·
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Posted: 2 pm ET

Talking to your children about the time when you might need their help -- before that time comes -- is a very important retirement planning step to take, says Pat Drea, the chief operating officer of Visiting Angels, a home health care agency with more than 400 franchises around the country.

Drea, who has 25 years' experience in the home care industry, says some of the most troubling and destructive aspects of family financial management are related to the disagreements and resentments that result when the older generation needs financial help, and the younger one has to give it.

She says you can mitigate this pain by sharing the details of your financial situation with all your children long before there's a crisis, so they understand your situation and your wishes and can factor the possibility that you might need their help into their own planning.

"The age when we should be entering into this discussion is in our 50s," she says. "That reduces the risk of having this discussion in a crisis when everyone will feel vulnerable, and we will feel defensive."

Be very open about your retirement situation, Drea says, including sharing things such as pension and Social Security  totals, 401(k) statements and stock portfolios. More information is better than less.

Make sure the discussion isn't totally focused on you, she advises. Ideally, this should be a collaborative effort in which everyone gets something good out of the process. Listen to your adult children's concerns and their wishes. The best outcome of this conversation is a situation where you can help them, and they can help you.

After the initial conversation, keep your children in the loop. Let them know how it's going with your health and your finances. Nobody likes unpleasant surprises. "If you have this discussion early and with everyone, you'll find there is greater willingness to cooperate," Drea says.

Family seeks answers in Patterson man’s death

Two and a half years after his death, questions remain as to what happened to Glenn Lemoine of Patterson after he was last seen leaving Cypress Bayou Casino in Charenton shortly after 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 7, 2010.

Lemoine’s family had his body exhumed on Jan. 30 to have a second autopsy performed. Lemoine’s body was originally found on Aug. 9, 2010, in the Charenton Canal, said daughter Denise Bailey, who is one of Lemoine’s 11 children.

Lemoine’s body was recently taken to Birmingham, Ala., to have a second autopsy performed.

The family is now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Lemoine’s death and has been posting fliers throughout the area.

“For the last two and a half years, it’s been nothing but a nightmare, from the day his body was found until now. We have gotten no answers from the sheriff’s department,” Bailey said.

She said the family has been frustrated with the sheriff’s office investigation and said Sheriff Mark Hebert and District Attorney Phil Haney told the family they could view the casino video tapes from the night 60-year-old Lemoine disappeared, but have not been allowed to see them yet, Bailey said.

St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Traci Landry said, for open investigations, the sheriff’s office does not release information, even to the family.

“We’re searching for any help we can get. We don’t know where else to turn,” Bailey said.

The family hired private investigator John Abdella of Lafayette in October to conduct a separate investigation from the sheriff’s investigation of the case. Abdella said a written report from the autopsy has not come back yet, but he and the family were told verbally that there were indications of trauma on the body.

St. Mary Parish Coroner F.H. Metz ruled the cause of death undetermined after the first autopsy was performed.

Landry said the case is active and was never closed, which was because of the determination of the coroner. “The sheriff’s office was actively looking for anyone with any information on anything that they might have seen that night,” Landry said. “And we still are, essentially, if anybody wants to come forward if they remember anything.”

Bailey said Lemoine’s phone records show that calls were made from his phone 45 minutes after sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene of the 911 call where Lemoine’s car was found in a ditch on U.S. 90 East near the casino. His body was found two days later in the Charenton Canal.

Lemoine’s car was found in a ditch along U.S. 90, 2.5 miles from where his body was found, Bailey said.

Abdella spoke with a woman who said she talked to Lemoine after his car got stuck in a ditch about a mile from the casino. “She talked to him, and he said he was OK, that he was using his cell phone. He was going to make some phone calls,” Abdella said. By the time sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene about 10 minutes later, Lemoine had left the scene, Abdella said. It was extremely dark outside during those early morning hours, and the woman did not see Lemoine leave the scene, he said.

“But as we understand it, two women saw him a few minutes later. He was walking down Highway 90 east going toward Franklin. The next thing we know, they found his body in the Charenton Canal,” he said.

Abdella asks anyone who may have information surrounding Lemoine’s death, to contact him at 337-235-0270. Callers can remain anonymous.
