- 18 GENIVI member companies now offering compliant software platforms to global OEMs
SAN RAMON, California, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The GENIVI Alliance, an automotive and consumer electronics industry association driving the development and adoption of an open in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) reference platform, today announced that 18 GENIVI member companies are now offering global automotive manufacturers software platforms which are registered as GENIVI compliant.
A GENIVI compliant software platform provides automakers the needed operating system, system infrastructure and middleware elements on which to build the differentiated applications and other features that make up the software components of an automaker's next-generation IVI system.
"From PSA Peugeot Citroen's perspective, GENIVI is most valuable in enabling many suppliers to compete on quality, while providing a consistent IVI software platform as defined by the Alliance across all industry requirements," said Philippe Gicquel, general manager for Connectivity, Telematics, Infotainment Modules, PSA Peugeot Citroen. "This enables PSA to focus on the differentiation we need to compete in the infotainment market."
Launched in August 2011, GENIVI's compliance program was designed to define a detailed set of technical requirements enabling member companies to qualify for automaker's request for proposals giving them the benefit of a commonly developed and collectively maintained software infrastructure that shares non-differentiating elements, encourages reuse over time and allows them to concentrate on their unique, branded value to their customers.
Its latest compliance specification announced at GENIVI's recent all-member meeting in Shanghai, requires that compliant platforms use a current version of the Linux operating system. It also adds new Bluetooth™ capabilities and a node manager that collates information from multiple sources in the vehicle to allow rapid switching between applications sharing the same display.
The 3.0 specification also mandates the use of updated open source components that manage internet connections, establish network connections on demand, select and authenticate Wi-Fi networks, and provide for applications and services to talk to one another.
GENIVI compliant platforms are offered from a full industry range of member companies including tier-one automotive suppliers, silicon manufacturers plus software and service providers. Expert groups within these technology focus areas have developed a specification for open source IVI middleware which is refreshed and enhanced in alignment with GENIVI's all-member meetings, with member-built compliant platforms designed for automakers to develop next generation IVI head units.
The process is impressive: GENIVI's specifications are applied by software vendors to create a platform. This in turn is combined with hardware offered by other GENIVI members allowing automakers to offer the industry's most advanced infotainment systems to their customers.
"GENIVI's acceptance continues to grow at a rapid pace as evidenced by the number of platforms already registered as GENIVI compliant," said Steve Crumb, executive director, GENIVI Alliance. "The breadth of support from a wide cross section of industry experts will only increase the momentum going forward."
Additionally, GENIVI-sponsored open source projects announced in September (Layer Manager, Audio Manager and Automotive DLT-Diagnostic Log and Trace), are publicly available and participation in the FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) community is going strong as evidenced by immediate interest in these projects from both GENIVI member and non-member developers, inside and outside the automotive industry.

24 years old, in his physical prime, a pro for over 4 years with more than 20 fights and one of the top prospects in boxing for years now. I get moving someone along at the right speed, but for **** sake! Get a move on you daft cunts! I'm sick of seeing these weak, pathetic fights for Russell. The best he's ever fought is Heriberto Ruiz and Pastrana, and they were getting KTFO in their prime by Rafael Marquez ten goddamn years ago!
He should well and truly be in against the top rated contenders at the very least. Instead he's in with unranked nobodies time and time again.

What's not to like?
Seems level headed and sharp. I've seen him a couple of times and he looks very impressive to me, granted his competition maybe wasn't awesome.
Looking forward to seeing this guy make his run at uber-badassness.

I understand Gusev is a good fight but he needs to fight someone of note his next fight cause no one is gonna give him credit for beating Gusev, if he does.

Tales from Bandcamp: Belfry by Messa
From the opening drone and Om track to the closing acoustic folk song I can totally say I have not been enthralled with such a shattering doom album since Pallbearer's latest outing. Messa have crafted a monumental debut overflowing with suffocating atmospheres and bluesy doom thunder topped off with sultry female vocals that will hypnotize you as they invoke demons to consume your flesh.
Mixing the droniness of Sunn O))) with the psychedelic edge of bands like Subrosa and the bluesy occult punch of The Devil's Blood or Blood Ceremony, each song is nothing short of completely engaging. Whether it's the slow burn of "Babalon", the Freebird-freakout of "Hour of the Wolf", the doom-clarinet jam on "Blood", or the driving riffing on "New Horns" there is always some trick up Messa's sleeve to draw you even deeper into their rituals. Even the ambient interludes are inspiriting. Little touches like the crackle and hiss of vinyl punctuate how much care went into this record.
If you have any love for doom metal in your veins (of course you do!) you need to go to Messa. Our Father who art in doom, Messa be thy name. Thy riffs come, thy will be done. On Earth as is in Inferno.
As usual, listen, force your friends to listen, force your enemies to listen, give the band money, support music and shit. Peace Love and Metal!!!!

Tales from Bandcamp: Empires of Ash by Sojourner
I always appreciate when a band chooses a name that aptly describes what their sound is. Even more when they live up to it. Dream Theater, Agalloch, Moonsorrow, Cannibal Corpse, to name a few. With a lofty name like sojourner there is lofty expectations for the music to take me on one hell of a journey across sprawling landscapes and through magical realms. And boy does this debut of theirs deliver.
As equally majestic as it is furious, Empires of Ash channels that epic spirit of black metal bands like Summoning, Saor, and even Emperor. What really sets Sojourner apart from their contemporaries for me is how well they weave the folk instruments into their songs; a variety of flutes, piano, and cheesy-as-fuck synths (and I mean that in the best way possible) pour personality into the music. When ever they make an appearance they really heighten the atmosphere and give just the right amount of spine-tingling punch. Add in a smattering of pristine medieval-styled female vocals to break up the throaty rasps and the mystical element is delightfully accentuated. I also really appreciate the diversity of the songs on the record as well as the songs themselves. Some have touches of doom others bask in ballad territory. Each one has its own distinctive touch yet they all flow well together. This is definitely an album to be appreciated as a whole rather than piecemeal.
So, yeah, if you love yourself some epic folky black metal, do check Empires of Ash out. I see myself really taking a many trip with these Sojourners. As always, give it a listen and if you dig it go dig in your couch or back seat for some spare change to toss to the artists, they deserve it. Annoy your friends with recommendations too!!! Enjoy!!! Peace Love and Metal!!!!!

Album Review: Katatonia – The Fall of Hearts
First of all I am not going to mention that other guy from that other band that is known to be vocalist Jonas Renske's buddy. Not even going there. I keep seeing those comparisons and it's driving me nuts. Second, it's going to be hard not to be a bit biased because of my love for Katatonia's depressively wonderful melodies. But, The Fall of Hearts is upon us, all 1+ hour of it, and I must speak about it. That's a huge chunk of melancholy, but the good thing is that it doesn't "feel" like an hour. So, I expected the album to follow the path of Dethroned and Uncrowned. I mean, let's face it, that haunting remix of Dead End Kings was well transformed, produced, and engineered. The live concert footage is killer! Why not ride that wave? I probably would, but that's me. I can milk a cow till she runs dry. Read the rest of this entry →

Tales From Bandcamp: In Pieces by Oak Pantheon
Some years ago I remember checking out an album by Oak Pantheon (2012's From a Whisper), digging it enough to buy it, and then it kinda got lost among the mountain of mp3s on my player. Basically, it was a good album, but not memorable enough to really solidify itself in my consciousness. The band name stuck more with me than the music. Luckily, remembering the band name and associating it with something pretty quality I clicked on the preview for the new album, In Pieces, over at Bandcamp and an hour later left with more than just a killer band name fixed in my head.
Crafting an absolutely enthralling collection music, Oak Pantheon have delivered one of the most engaging atmospheric black metal albums I've heard to date. Each track strikes balance between hypnotizing and ferocious, Earthly and astral. Twists and turns that flow seamlessly rock you into a meditative state like laying back on a boat on an isolated sea. This album is a journey; a journey that will leave one changed. Outstanding instrumental performances to boot!
If you dig on bands like Vattnet Viskar, The Atlas Moth, Panopticon, and Agalloch, In Pieces is a must. If you just love well crafted music regardless of genre, this is a must. It will be a serious album of the year contender for me! Go give it a listen and a purchase if you enjoy it! Enjoy!! Peace Love and Metal!!!!
Album Review: Metal Resistance by BabyMetal
When BabyMetal popped up some years ago with that very Japanese video for Doki Doki Panic, I got a good kick out of the metal/Jpop hybrid dancing girl trio, watched it a few times, shared it on the Facebook, and then went back about my business of being a trve br00tl metalhead. I guess a lot of people liked that video as it caught on like wildfire and more crazy songs and videos ensued, even a full album. Thinking it was a pure gimmick with no heart like most 'produced' bands I passed on it. Not that I don't have a soft spot for the occasional bit of Jpop, I do play a fuckton of Japanese RPGs (tips hat to the Persona composers) and I do love me some Maximum the Hormone, it just seemed like something that would be forgettable when the image was taken away.
Last month the new single/video for 'Karate' was released and of course I checked it out without hesitation expecting to dig it and then be on my merry way. What I didn't expect was how much it would catch in my brain. Between that slick groove metal riff, infectious chorus, and chilling outro I kept saying to myself that the people writing the music for these girls really do have some damn fine chops. So, I decided to take the dive and check out the new record, Metal Resistance, to see how well it held up with the image removed and the music holding its own. And boy am I surprised at how much this record kept surprising me.

Album Review: DevilDriver – Trust No One
When Dez Fafara announced DevilDriver was going on hiatus back in 2014, I felt it was the end of the band. Long-time band members were dropping off the roster like flies while Dez's other band, Coal Chamber, was making a momentous comeback. I was beginning to think Winer Kills was the last album we'd see from DevilDriver. But, that was not the case. With Mike Spreitzer being the remaining musician with any sort of tenure, they recruited Austin D'Amond, Neil Tiemann, and a bassist (Diego Ibarra – listed as touring bassist) and began working on new material in 2015. It was a short-lived hiatus and for DevilDriver fans, it's a good thing because Trust No One takes DevilDriver in a slightly different direction than we are used to.

Album Review: Jomsviking by Amon Amarth
For years I've always ragged on Amon Amarth for churning out the same album ad nauseam. Killer riff, killer riff, growly growly growly, Vikings, Thor, killer riff, more growling, Vikings again, oh hey look it's Odin! Luckily, Amon Amarth are a band that, even at their most derivative, write such grand headbanging tunes that I happily purchase each album on release day. Being as dependable as they are, even before popping the CD in I pretty much know what I'm getting; a collection of groovy riffs to sate any pangs I may occasionally have for good ol' death metal. So, going by their near 20 year track record I went into Jomsviking expecting a very good album that I would listen to a few time throughout the week and then occasionally throughout the rest of the year, much like the rest of their back catalog. Well, it has been a good week solid and not only has Jomsviking been the only album I've been exclusively listening to, I've also been making opportunities to sneak in a song or two more whenever possible (during smoke breaks, deliberately walking slower to work, etc.) I was expecting good and I got a kegger at Vallhalla!
What really gets me about Jomsviking is it is old reliable Amon Amarth and at the same time a stylistic shift for the band. Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg's melodic riffs are still at the forefront of every song and they are made to that classic thick groove thanks to the always proficient Ted Lundström on bass teamed with great pick for studio drummer Tobias Gustafsson. Johan Hegg still remains one of the best and most understandable growlers in the metal realm. Everything that one loves about Amon Amarth is here in spades, but now with extra, and more refined flavor.
What's new to the table most likely comes from the fact that Jomsviking is Amon Amarth's first concept album. Telling a touching love story (no, I'm not kidding) about a Viking who gets himself exiled when he kills a man after he goes into a rage when his love is sent to be married off to another clan. Vengeance and redemption ensue the Viking way, bloody. For a band known for their simplicity, and even with direct and simple lyrics, it's a complex and powerful story; emotional even. Having to focus their sound around the narrative leads to Amon Amarth broadening their sound to effectively match the tale they wove. This leads to flurry of sounds, tones, and styles that they have touched upon in the past, but never honed to this sharpness. It's what makes the record so easy to listen to repeatedly and makes it so addicting.
Each song boasts its own unique touch. The opener 'First Kill' is your typical Amon Amarth tune and 'The Wanderer' ventures into old school In Flames territory. Things get really interesting on the third track 'On a Sea of Blood' where, deer lord! that beautiful Bay Area thrash guitar tone splits open eardrums for a ripping, thrash-tastic assault slays for one of the most energetic songs the band has ever written. This shift to a brighter tone really accentuates the rest of the album allowing the guitarists really to show off those licks and solos they opened the floodgates on. They also work outstanding with Johan Hegg's voice highlighting his range, especially on the Viking sing-a-long 'Raise Your Horns', which I expect to become an immediate live show classic.
'The Way of the Vikings' most likely benefits the most from the narrative as it is the point in the story where the protagonist must face his best friend on the battlefield in a fight to the death. One adjective I thought I'd ever use to describe an Amon Amarth song is 'emotional', yet here I am doing it. The rhythmic, mid-paced riffs backing that bridge solo just gets me every time. Such a simple song, yet so fucking powerful. To a lesser extent Doro Pesch makes a guest appearance on 'A Dream That Can Not Be' as the main characters love and she delivers a performance that hits the emotion button hard.
And not to forget about easily my favorite song off the album, 'At Dawn's First Light'. This is clearly a love letter to Iron Maiden. Jam packed with galloping rhythms and riffs, dual attack, larger than life solos, and a high-flying, memorable chorus, this is basically everything I love about Iron Maiden (my favorite band btw) distilled into death metal. More tracks have a nice little Maiden influence to them and it's great, but here it's in full force and hot damn is it great. Without a doubt one of my favorite Amon Amarth songs ever.
I honestly can not speak highly enough of Jomsviking. If you had thought Amon Amarth were getting a bit stale or were going to sell-out moving to a big time major label, you need this album in your life. They are firing on all cylinders and have reasserted their claim as one of the best modern death metal bands in the world today. No metal head should be without this record. Peace Love and Metal!!!! 5.0 out of 5.0

Album Review: Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash
It's been a while since Black Tusk's EP Tend No Wounds graced the paged of A Metal State of Mind. Somehow, I missed the 2014 EP, Vulture's Eyes; it's impossible to catch everything, right? At least someone back me up on that. So, here we are with Pillars of Ash, the first full album release since 2011. Was it worth the wait? Well, if you are into sludgy, hardcore-infused metal, then my short answer is yes. Despite coming in at just 35 minutes, the album packs a punch that I am sure will be inspiring a frenzy of circle pits or at the very least, a few thrown chairs.

Police shooting spurs rally
About 60 people with signs and megaphones marched outside the Santa Ana Police Department on Saturday afternoon and demanded that authorities bring the police officer who shot and killed an unarmed homeless man Tuesday to justice.
The rally was organized by family members of victims of past police shootings in Orange County.
"We want to educate the public to let them know that this is an epidemic and it needs to stop," said Terri Teramura, who started Nida's Rydas, an organization that advocates for the families of police shooting victims.
Teramura said she had reached out to the family of Hans Kevin Arellano, 22, the man who was shot and killed by a police officer in a shopping complex at South Harbor Boulevard and West McFadden Avenue in Santa Ana. She said the family appreciated the support but was unable to attend the protest.
Several protesters expressed concern about the amount of training police officers receive for emergency situations. Others asked why the officer in the Arellano shooting had used lethal force instead of pepper spray or a Taser.
Interim Police Chief Carlos Rojas told the Register on Wednesday that Arellano had a confrontation with a police officer at 3 p.m. and then ran. When another officer came to assist, Arellano was shot in the torso by that officer and killed. Rojas confirmed that Arellano was unarmed, but he was unable to comment further on the circumstances that led to the shooting, as three separate investigations of the incident continued.

Cruise Ships Produce 168,000 Gallons of Sewage Daily
Pollution from cruise ships is a growing problem, according to environmental group Oceana. They produce a large amount of pollution every day from sewage, garbage and solid waste, toxic chemicals and oily bilge water.
According to Oceana, the average cruise ship produces the following pollution daily:
- 25,000 gallons of sewage from toilets
- 143,000 gallons of sewage from sinks, galleys and showers
- Seven tons of garbage and solid waste
- 15 gallons of toxic chemicals
- 7,000 gallons of oily bilge water
Several cruise lines have been making efforts to clean up their acts, reports Seattle International Travel Examiner. The newspaper cites several examples — including Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Line — where cruise lines have implemented environmental measures.
As examples, both Princess Cruises and Holland America have ships that plug into onshore hydroelectric power while in port, which reduces the air pollution produced by idling ships. Holland America has also installed a special seawater-scrubbing emissions system to reduce air pollution, and uses a hybrid power system in its newer ships.
Smaller cruise lines, such as Lindblad Expeditions and Adventure Smith Explorations, have also implemented environmental measures, which include offsetting their carbon footprint, purchasing seafood from sustainable sources, and adopting new sustainable technologies, according to the Seattle International Travel Examiner.
But not all cruise lines are in agreement. Earlier this year, the Alaska cruise industry called for the abolishment of a strict water-pollution rule approved by voters in 2006 because the rule is detrimental to tourism.
To help determine which modes of transportation have the smallest carbon footprint, the Union of Concerned Scientists (USC) has developed a green travel guide, reports Mercury News.
The report, Getting there Greener, compares the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from driving, flying, and traveling by train or bus. The report shows that three key factors determine the environmental impact of your travel — type of vehicle, distance and number of people traveling.
Reader Comments
Somebody should take a closer look at the Photo Department on Carnival ships. The public is not aware that the photographs that they are forced to take and do not buy are dumped on shore as the paper cannot be recycled and that the paper damages their incenerators.

The meat industry is attempting to rise from its sick bed and walk in the sun once more. But it needs a miracle.
OPINION: The industry has been poorly for a long time - ever since the intravenous drip of subsidies was yanked out in the mid-80s.
Oh, we all hail the progress made since those days. The withdrawal of subsidies forced farmers to become more cost-conscious, lift genetic quality and improve ewe performance and lamb growth.
It made meat companies compete for supply and upgrade works and working conditions.
And exporters to work harder to meet customer demand and promote a variety of cuts in new markets.
It has made the industry leaner and cleaner. It has also seen an upsurge in science, with new feeds and financial tools for farmers and automation in processing.
But it hasn't made anyone any richer. Sheep and beef farmers aren't going broke, but they're not thriving. Not like their dairying mates.
It varies from district to district, but the average sheep and beef farmer's income for this year - admittedly the drought hasn't helped - is predicted to be $73,000 before tax and mortgage payments.
That mightn't sound too bad to a deskbound townie but these are medium-sized businesses with millions of dollars in assets.
Actually, I suspect that as the drought lingers in key regions, that figure will be a lot lower.
The young men and women who survived the 80s are now downcast and weary. They look around for new, keen youngsters to take up the burden, but they're not there.
So the farmers turn up at meetings bewildered and angry, demanding that something be done.
A meeting at Gore a few weeks ago attracted 1000 and meetings are planned for Christchurch next Wednesday and Feilding on April 26. The organisers hope the anger will drive an unstoppable nationwide movement for change.
The meat companies are the obvious targets. And rightly so. But the farmers should also look at themselves.
It's their behaviour of playing meat companies off against each other that has worsened the situation. But then, the companies are willing participants too.
Everyone's to blame. And it's got so convoluted that someone from outside is needed to step in.
That can only be the Government, which has been hands- off so far.
I've seen a couple of good ideas. One is from food industry commentator Keith Stewart, that it should be compulsory for farmers to contract to meat companies, thus guaranteeing the companies meat supply so they can plan ahead.
The other is from Feds chief executive Conor English. It's a long shot, but if successful would get the sick man off his bed, out into the sun and jumping for joy.
He proposes a Fonterra-type model based on a nationwide pool for each of the grades of meat.
This would mean farmers receiving the same price whether they sold in December, February, May or September.
As with Fonterra, a price per kilogram for each grade would be announced at the beginning of the season, say $6.50.
This would be reviewed a couple of times during the season. An advance payment would be made of, say, $3.50 a kg and then at the end of the season there would be an under and over wash-up.
"This could work," he says. "It would be a dramatic change for the sector and needs to be more thought through."
I like it. It would provide the certainty that both farmers and processors desperately need.
And he's not kidding when he says it would be a dramatic change. It could not succeed unless the majority of farmers and all meat companies were behind it.
Looking at the industry's turbulent history, it would be a miracle if this occurred. But miracles do happen.
English also joins the popular call for consolidation of the meat companies, at least with a merger of the two co-operatives. But he has another suggestion too.
That is a division of labour - a few companies concentrate on efficient processing while a separate organisation does the marketing.
Once again, these are radical ideas, ones that would need legislative approval.
At this early stage - assuming that the current demand for reform won't fizzle and die like others before it - it would be a big help if the Government gave some guidance.
Indication of a preference for a new scheme would help focus the debate. At the moment, all we're hearing is anger. Sooner, rather later, this has to turn to action.

Bought this washer dryer from a premium manufacturer, expecting it to be reliable and last a long time. When it works, it is excellent - but unfortunately, it seldom works. It has had over £1000 of parts and still won't wash and dry without failing.
Likes: quiet and washes and dries small loads well.
Dislikes: Hopelessly unreliable.
I have bought Miele appliances for years (9 so far). This is the last I will every buy.
Only buy this appliance if you like wet laundry, bleeping sounds and long chats with engineers.

Strategy: The oxidation number of the metal atom is equal to its charge. First we look for known charges in the species. Recall that alkali metals are +1 and alkaline earth metals are +2. Also determine if the ligand is a charged or neutral species. From the known charges, we can deduce the net charge of the metal and hence its oxidation number.
(a) Since sodium is always +1 and the oxygens are -2, Mo must have an oxidation number of +6.

Army court sentence `insensitive`: Gogoi
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Tuesday said the three months imprisonment given to an Army man by a court here for molesting a teenager in Sibsagar district was "insensitive" and he would take up the matter with the Defence Ministry for its review.
"The Army court has been insensitive about the seriousness of the crime and has taken a lenient view of the matter," Gogoi said in a statement here.
"Imprisonment for only three months is far less than the heinous crime committed by the Army man. The Army court should have meted out a deterrent punishment to the accused, instead it took a lenient view of such a grave crime which amounts to insensitivity," he said.
The chief minister said he would take up the matter with the Defence ministry so that the victim gets proper justice.
Lance Naik Anil Kumar Upadhaya was tried by an Army court after he was accused of molesting a teenager and sentenced to three months imprisonment.
Upadhaya was also demoted to a lower post of sepoy from his current post of lance naik and this was informed to Sibsagar Deputy Commissioner JN Lahkar in a communication by the Army, official sources said today.
The teenager was molested by the lance naik, who was on patrol near a forest in Dolopa area of the district on July 13 last year where she had gone to collect firewood.
The incident led to wide protests in Assam with people demanding that the accused be handed over to police but the Army maintained that he would be first tried by its court.
