Published on 18-Jan-2013
"After only one half hour of training, all of our colleagues can now publish their own content in a fraction of the time previously required by experienced content managers." - Hendrik Franke, IT director, Fachverband für Dampfkessel,- Behälter- und Rohrleitungsbau
Industrial Products
Deployment country:
IBM Business Partner:
IT works unlimited GmbH & Co. KG
The Fachverband für Dampfkessel,- Behälter- und Rohrleitungsbau (FDBR), or Association of Steam Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Piping Manufacturers, serves the interests of more than 160 mostly small and midsize companies involved in power plant and chemical plant construction. Member firms include plant builders, as well as component manufacturers and service suppliers to power plant and chemical plant manufacturers. With annual sales in excess of EUR15 billion, the industry employs approximately 60,000 workers. FDBR is headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, and has 14 employees.
Business need:
FDBR needed a system to make it easier for staff members to publish, categorize and manage online technical documents.
The association implemented a customized web content management solution based on IBM® Lotus® Notes® and IBM Lotus Domino® software.
The solution eases and speeds online publishing and enhances document categorization.
Case Study
The Fachverband für Dampfkessel,- Behälter- und Rohrleitungsbau (FDBR), or Association of Steam Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Piping Manufacturers, serves the interests of more than 160 mostly small and midsize companies involved in power plant and chemical plant construction. Member firms include plant builders, as well as component manufacturers and service suppliers to power plant and chemical plant manufacturers. With annual sales in excess of EUR15 billion, the industry employs approximately 60,000 workers. FDBR is headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, and has 14 employees.
Cumbersome publishing processes
The FDBR mission is to promote technical innovation in power plant and chemical plant construction, and to support the continued development of technical standards. The association also strives to keep members informed of technical, legal, and economic news that affects production processes and ongoing projects. To accomplish these goals, FDBR employees monitor the industry, write technical articles summarizing key developments and publish them on a company intranet. Association members who register can then access these articles organized by associated areas of interest.
Naturally, getting newsworthy information out quickly depends on efficient publishing processes. However FDBR employees were hindered by slow and complicated procedures for posting articles, managing content and maintaining the intranet user interface. "In the past, our employees had to spend considerable time to publish just a single document," says Hendrik Franke, IT director at FDBR and one of the few people who understood the intricacies of the process. "Clearly, we needed a better system for document publishing and management."
To address this challenge, Franke brought in IBM Premium Business Partner IT works unlimited GmbH & Co. KG (ITWU), which specializes in the IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino enterprise collaboration platform. The association sought a solution to enable staff members to publish technical content without worrying about the technology. A secondary requirement was to improve document categorization so that members could more easily locate relevant information.
Powering a simplified solution
ITWU previously worked with FDBR to overhaul the company's IT infrastructure, using Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino applications to centralize email communication. It now used the Lotus platform to map out and develop an entirely new web publishing process that took advantage of existing assets. IBM Lotus Domino Designer software provided tools for rapid application development, particularly XPages functionality, a development environment for Web 2.0 applications based on open standards. "XPages in Lotus Domino Designer gave us everything we needed to create a modern, interactive, and user-friendly web publishing application," says Carl Goos, chief executive officer at ITWU.
The new intranet solution was rolled out to FDBR employees in early 2010. "We were immediately pleased with the enhanced functionality," says Franke.
Workflows launched from the Lotus Notes application simplify the publishing process, while keywords enable each article to be categorized, sorted and located by content as well as document type. Published articles are correctly displayed whatever browsers the members use. In another enhancement, the new intranet interface can leverage existing data and functions from within Lotus Notes and Domino. Thus access privileges for FDBR employees, as well as content, can be recalled from existing entries in Lotus Domino. "We have extended the settings in the email and workflow areas of Lotus Notes to the intranet," says Goos. "This keeps IT management lean."
A boost to employee productivity
To accelerate document publication and sorting, employees use applications written in Lotus Notes. After double-clicking on the publishing form in the Lotus Notes application, staff members need only attach a PDF document, define the title, enter keywords and save the entry to the Lotus Domino database. The solution automatically publishes the document to the correct category on the intranet. The technology remains invisible to end users. Such simplicity and speed greatly improve productivity in both publishing and categorizing documents. In the first two months of operation, employees published more than 300 documents.
The association's members also benefit from the new solution. Newsworthy articles are published faster and keywords make documents easier to locate.

May 2012, TruckingInfo.com - Feature
by Jim Park, Equipment Editor, Equipment Editor
- Also by this author
Tread depth should be measured at two or three spots around the circumference of the tread to get an average number. The DOT will usually measure tread depth at the lowest spot on a tire because they are looking for violations of the federal minimums. "When we're doing a maintenance inspection, we'll measure the tread at two or three spots around the tire to get a better picture of the overall condition of the tire," says Lecklider. "We're obviously concerned with maintaining the tires in safe condition, but we're also looking to establish wear rates so we can predict service life, and for irregularities in wear that could indicate other mechanical problems with the truck." Doug Jones, customer engineering support manager at Michelin Americas Truck Tires, says irregular tread wear can shorten tire life dramatically. If spotted early, it often can be slowed or stopped by repositioning or remounting the tire."Depending on the type of wear, detecting it early and removing the tire from that wheel position can usually save the tire," he says. "Then you have to correct the source of the problem before installing another tire. Otherwise, that new tire is likely to suffer the same fate." When inspecting sidewalls (after checking for foreign material hanging out of the tire) Lecklider looks for signs of the tire being run hot or flat sometime in its life. "You can see discoloration when it has been run hot or overloaded while low on pressure," he says. "In severe cases, you'll see some bulges caused by separation between the tread and the casing, or you might feel irregularities in the surface of the sidewall, or soft spots and bulges." The Technology & Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Associations' Recommended Practice for tire repairs, RP 206B, advises that any tire that has been run at less than 80% of its normal operating pressure (not its maximum inflation pressure) could have permanent structural damage and should be carefully inspected before repairing or being placed back in service."If a tire has been run low, it's imperative that it be fully inspected before any repairs are done," Lecklider stresses.Plugs, patches and section repairsPuncture repairs are common, but there are limits to what is considered safe. A puncture wound in the tread area of up to 3/8 of an inch in diameter can safely be repaired without doing a section repair, but some prefer to just stuff a plug into the hole to keep the truck moving. However, plugs are bad news, says Lecklider. "When we see a plug in a tire, we know it's been run soft or run flat," he says. "The problem for us is, we don't know for how long, and what kind of internal damage running it underinflated may have caused to the tire," he says. Guy Walenga, director of engineering for commercial products and technologies at Bridgestone, says the prescribed procedures for repairing punctures do more than just keep the air from leaking out."When something has gone through the tread surface, it has damaged the rubber as well as the steel cords in the tire," Walenga explains. "You have to remove the damaged material and then fill the void with a properly prepared insert to protect the internal structure of the tire."Once you allow moisture to penetrate the casing, you risk further damage to the cords through wicking, Walenga notes. You have to remove enough material from around the wound so that you remove any trace of moisture around the steel. Then apply a proper patch to the inside of the casing to seal the wound.TMC's RP 206B outlines proper puncture repair procedures, but they're too complex to describe here.Much larger repairs can be successfully made to radial truck tires if you follow correct procedures and the tire maker's recommendations. For damage of up to 1 inch wide and 4.5 inches long at certain areas of the tire, repairs usually should be done at a retread shop, not roadside.Section repairs require a more specialized approach, but you may be surprised by the size of the holes that can be fixed by an experienced repair shop. Using cushion gum or extruder rope, a properly treated wound can be successfully built up from the inside and then sealed with patches. With the cost of a tire today, a $50 nail-hole repair is a very cost-effective alternative to scrapping a damaged tire. Lecklider cautions that scrimping on a tire repair - like simply just jamming a plug into the hole - can hasten the demise of the tire due to rust incursion through the steel cords. "We recommend any tire with a puncture be removed and inspected as soon as possible and not repaired, even temporarily, with a plug," he says. "A small puncture is a cheap and easy fix, but you can ruin an expensive tire in no time by ignoring what happens after a puncture occurs."Retreaders do very thorough casing inspections before retreading a tire, and they find improperly repaired tires all the time. They often scrap the casing because the internal damage has progressed beyond the point where it can be repaired. If your weekly pressure checks (You do check tire pressures weekly, right?) reveal a tire that's consistently low, remove it and have it inspected. If any tire comes in unusually low, take it out of service for inspection. A low tire, or a tire that won't hold pressure, is a time bomb. An inexpensive repair can save a lot of money and grief in the long run. Don't ignore it. From the March 2012 issue of HDT.

The Bruce Surname Y-DNA Project
All Y-DNA tests with the surname of Bruce and variants are invited to join this project.
If you have already had your Y-DNA tested with Family Tree DNA -
. You can join this project by clicking on the Join Request tab above.
If you have never had your Y-DNA tested -
. There are usually discounts for testing at FTDNA through this project. Email us before ordering.
If you have had your Y-DNA tested elsewhere -
. Most third party Y-DNA tests can be transferred to FTDNA (Use this link).
You can use the About This Group tab above to navigate to some other pages in this website.
Always check the News page for latest project developments.
Our current collection of Lineages are displayed on the Goals page.
The collection and presentation of the member lineages is an ongoing task.
Members are encouraged email their lineage to us for incorporation on the Goals page.
For example, over 70% of our membership are under the R-M269 (R1b1a2) branch,
but only about a quarter of these have any SNPs resolved below the R-M269 point.
In some cases, upgrading to more SNP and STR tests will improve grouping and matching.
But there are cases where further testing is unwarranted.
For example, where a group contains two members who are known to be closely related (via paper trail, etc),
then it is only useful for one of them to extend their testing, as their DNA will be almost identical.
For genealogical research FTDNA recommends a 37 STR marker test as the entry level.
FTDNA offers extension (clade) tests and an a la carte menu for individual SNP tests.
For more information about recent groupings, see the News page.
For graphs showing the relationships between the members and groups see the Results page.

The Elder Scrolls Online Preview
Honestly it's kind of hard to really talk about TESO since its name is so indicative of what it is – an online version of any other Elder Scrolls game. While it may be set far in the past it controls much like any of the modern games with the one concession of the other players in the world. There have been gameplay tweaks but the whole thing is just so familiar and comfortable to any fan of the series that it just feels like home. Read More.
Talisman Digital Edition Preview
All of this is captured neatly by the digital edition. It plays smoothly even on fairly weak laptops which helps this games appeal even more by making it portable. While it might lose some of the charms by losing the ability to move your pieces around on your own all of the convenience captured right here really makes it worth owning. Read More.

Muslim American Women Are the New Normal
Jan 29, 2014 04:16 PM »
Muslim American Women Are the New Normal
Most insults aimed at Muslims are far from subtle.
It is easy to recognize the affront, for example, when someone says she is tired of people saying Islam is a religion of peace, or sponsors ads in subway stations implying Muslims are "savages."
But sometimes the bigotry is subtle. Sometimes it comes from people who have been lovely to you, hosting you, feeding you fancy pastries and asking for your signature.
One of the best parts of being an author is visiting book clubs. As the author of a novel about Muslim women, I am often touched and encouraged by how non-Muslim readers relate to my book, and how they share so much of themselves with me in return. But at a recent book club visit, something less encouraging happened. Someone raised the issue of whether individual Muslims should condemn terrorist attacks done in the name of Islam. I explained that this is a complicated, emotionally fraught decision for many Muslims, who are the only group asked to make such public condemnations and who are so often ignored when they do.
It was not complicated at all for one of the women, who insisted that Muslims must do it.
"If we are going to try to accept you," she said, "you have to meet us half way."
And there it was: Her casual separation of non-Muslims into "we," and Muslims into the other "you."
I'm a white woman married to a Pakistani-American man. His family moved to the United States when he was three, because they wanted more opportunities for their children. Together, we have two kids of mixed heritage and an African-American son. I was born in California and raised in the Midwest, graduated from one of the oldest women's colleges in the country, and, like my husband, received a law degree from a top-ranked American law school. We have two beloved dogs and one unsettling lizard. I have a weakness for Mountain Dew, Dance Moms, and Kate Spade shoes. I live in Boston but adore the Yankees. I vote. I passed two bar exams. I wrote a novel. The last time I wept was while watching the interfaith memorial service for the Boston Marathon victims.
To me, all of this feels pretty American.
But I'm also a convert to Islam. And that means that even for a gracious woman in a cozy New England living room, I am still the other, the one it requires some effort to accept.
Contrary to the rantings of some pundits, my religion is not a political ideology. It is a spiritual system of belief which tells me to care for orphans and the elderly, and that I am not a true believer until I want for others what I want for myself. I remain within a prophetic tradition that includes Adam, Abraham, and Moses. I embrace the work of pro-woman Muslim scholars. I trust in the very first line of the Qur'an which states that God is the most gracious and merciful. I believe in second chances, divine forgiveness, and the simple charity of a smile.
The most common reaction to my novel I've had from fellow Muslim women is profuse gratitude for portraying Muslim women as "normal." That word shows up repeatedly from both liberal, secular Muslims and conservative, traditional ones. What they mean is not that my characters are western, although arguably they are, but that they have normal human emotions and worries and lives.
That they are not some "other" sitting around figuring out how to blow everyone else up or cowering before caricatures of abusive husbands.
Writers strive for verisimilitude, and I am no exception. Contrary to prevalent stereotypes, Muslim American women tend to lead very normal lives. Gallup research shows that we are more educated than the average American woman, second only to Jewish American women, and that we have more income parity with our male counterparts than any other group of women. I've been asked several times why I wrote about "privileged" Muslim women who are educated and have interesting careers. It's because that is the experience of so many Muslim American women -- though we are most often considered something to be pitied -- and so few people seem to know about it.
A simple Google search reveals the strong Muslim feminist movement, the ways Muslim women are fighting for their rights both within and outside of Islam. Muslim American women are scholars and businesswomen, advisors to U.S. politicians, leaders of religious organizations, tireless activists and acclaimed authors. We are even the new Ms. Marvel super hero.
Whether we cover our hair or don't -- the praxis to which the public seems most likely to reduce us -- Muslim American women are kicking butt and taking names.
How sad that the media has done such a wretched job of portraying us. That it is heartbreakingly rare for us to see accurate portrayals of our lives.
That we hunger simply to be shown as "normal."
Here is the truth: The "normal" Muslim women in my novel are actually phenomenal. They are at the top of their careers with Ivy League educations. They are brilliant and engaged and funny and loyal.
That's because they are similar to many of the Muslim women I know in real life -- women who it should require little effort to accept, whom others should rush to meet halfway.
It's time for the media to ask more of itself when portraying Muslim American women. Relentlessly trafficking in stereotypes hurts Muslim women in obvious ways. But it hurts non-Muslims as well. When you hide an entire group of women behind lazy, monolithic, and often inaccurate clichés, you impede the understanding and respect that come when people from different backgrounds get to know one another. You discount that we have something to learn from each other. You preclude the possibility of affection.
In effect, you keep us from being friends, and that is a loss for all of us.

I'm still struggling mightily with finding my voice on this Nietzsche project - not trying to represent exactly what Nietzsche wrote (which is notoriously slippery anyway), but providing my perspective on his ideas in a way that does justice to what I see as the core truth in his texts. Plus huge questions are swirling in my head about whether I can pull this off philosophically and poetically!
Nevertheless, I'm going to try. As my colleague Adam Brault says: "What the heck. Why not?" :-)
Over the weekend, I wrote the first draft of the first poem for Songs of Zarathustra. There's no guarantee it will survive my usual self-editing process, but here it is anyway...
Eternal Recurrence
What if
I've lived this hour, this day, this life
And I
Must live them yet again, not once
But more
And more,
Until every experience
And doubles back a million times
Or more.
A curse!
And yet if it must be, what if
I bless
This fact
As much as if it were my choice,
Not less.
The less
I treat necessity as fate
The more
I love
The life I live, and live the life
I bless.
On thinking further about my lifelong philosophy project, I've come to see it as a six-part suite on the theme of eudaimonia. Just I have likened my set of Yes arrangements for solo electric bass to a Bach Cello Suite, so the six books I'm writing on the philosophy of happiness might comprise a kind of suite:
The Tao of Roark is a prelude in several senses: extravagant, improvisatory, fantastical even, and redolent of my intellectually intemperate youth under the influence of Ayn Rand.
Songs of Zarathustra simply must be an allemande: a serious, German dance - yet also, I hope, tinged with some of the Mediterranean lightness that Nietzsche so treasured.
My yet-untitled book on Aristotle will have the character of a courante: majestic and magisterial despite its brevity, it will likely be a short commentary on the key themes of Aristotelian ethics (in the tradition of Averroes, Albertus Magnus, and Thomas Aquinas).
From that high plane we will turn to a thinker who is in many ways the opposite of Aristotle: Thoreau. Here we proceed at a leisurely, loping pace in the sarabande, entitled Walking With Thoreau.
Next the bourrée: Letters on Happiness: An Epicurean Dialogue. We find a kind of sober simplicity here, providing a counterpoint to Nietzsche's Dionysian pessimism.
Finally a dancing gigue at the end, probably a set of aphorisms or short poems about the Old Master Lao Tzu. A fitting way to finish the suite, especially given our start with Rand.
I like this arrangement quite a bit, since the three pairs of contrasting thinkers (Rand and Lao Tzu, Nietzsche and Epicurus, Aristotle and Thoreau) are arrayed in a mirror image through the first and last, second and fifth, and third and fourth movements.
I have not yet begun to grapple with how I will write Songs of Zarathustra, a cycle of philosophical poems about the ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche. The prospect is daunting in many ways at once, like climbing a high mountain in winter.
As I study and contemplate various paths to the top, I keep noticing interesting features along the way. One is a certain metrical freedom that Nietzsche exercises in his own poetry (which sadly is not much appreciated). Consider a few of his shorter poems:
Für Tänzer
Glattes eis
Ein paradeis
Für den, der gut zu tanzen weiß.
Auf Ruhm hast du den Sinn gericht
Dann acht der Lehre
Beizeiten leiste frei Verzicht
Auf Ehre!
One doesn't need to know German to see the playful rhythmic patterns Nietzsche employs here.
Interestingly, famed Nietzsche translator Walter Kaufmann does the same in some of his own poems...
To write granite verse and prose
polished hard simple and
dazzling as a sphinx with a broken nose
in endless sand.
No passing image of what
is no matter
but a presence time can not
So does my friend John Enright, whose poems I have always loved (and who turned me on to Walter Kaufmann's poetry)...
Philosophy and Poetry
Ironic turns of mind
Into a mask of common sense -
This is my defense.
My crime
Is rhyme.
Although I wouldn't call this free verse (especially given its prominent rhymes), it does have a great freedom. It's definitely a poetic effect that I shall incorporate into Songs of Zarathustra.
I like large, long-term projects. The biggest one I'm working on is a series of six short books about the views of various philosophers on happiness and human flourishing. I jokingly call it the RENTAL project, after the names of the thinkers in question:
Not long ago, I was chatting with my friend Joshua Zader about this project and I came to a realization: what I'm doing here is exploring the most positive, practical potential of six thinkers who have tried, in various ways, to estabish a secular approach to the good life.
Really it all started when I had a crisis of faith at the age of nine and decided that I didn't believe in god. And yet I always wanted to be a good person and to live a life of joy and meaning. Thus I was ripe for my early infatuation with the ideas of Ayn Rand, but also for my later encounters with other secular philosophers (starting with Aristotle in my college years, then moving on to Epicurus, Nietzsche, Lao Tzu, and Thoreau). It frustrates me deeply when I hear some people claim that you can't be a good person if you're not religious - I know in my heart that's wrong, and in a way I'm out to prove it both through these books and in my own life.
As if it's not difficult enough to write six short books (distilling a large set of ideas into something you can read in an hour takes many years of absorption and synthesis), I've furthermore decided to write each book in a different philosophical genre: an almost oracular statement in The Tao of Roark, a dialogue in Letters on Happiness, a cycle of poems in Songs of Zarathustra, a biographical or autobiographical journal in Walking with Thoreau, probably a condensed commentary for the book about Aristotle, and maybe a series of aphorisms for the book about Lao Tzu.
So far I've finished the first two movements of this six-part "suite". I'm well along in research on the third (having recently finished re-reading all of Nietzsche's published works), and I've just started reading all of Thoreau (the essays and poems and books first, then the complete Journal). It will take me many more years to complete the remaining four movements. But that's one of the great things about a big project: it's almost like a constant companion in the arc of my existence, coloring everything I think and do, giving shape and form to my inner and outer life.
One of the reasons I'm so excited about joining &yet is that Adam Brault is a fellow admirer of Dee Hock. Although Mr. Hock is best known as the founder of VISA, it's his fertile ideas about business that I find most compelling. Here is a brief summary of my understanding, but I encourage you to closely read his book One From Many if you're intrigued by what follows.
Mr. Hock coined the word "chaord" - a mixture of chaos and order. VISA itself has a chaordic structure at the macro level, since it is not one organization but a loose network of banks, merchants, cardholders, and other entities that freely interact in well-defined ways (not dissimilar from the Internet). Even more interesting to me is chaordic structure at the micro level, within the firm. Here, I think, is the true key to Mr. Hock's deep insights into human interaction.
The work of an enterprise consists of many projects that can be broken down into multiple tasks. The question is: who will complete those tasks, and how? According to Mr. Hock, if everyone in the enterprise (or, keeping Dunbar numbers in mind, a smaller group within the enterprise) has a clear view of the tasks to be completed, various individuals can join together in ad-hoc ways to complete those tasks. Thus work becomes the spontaneous order of relatively equal, independent individuals who have shared purposes and principles, not the planned march of subordinates by a hierarchy of superiors according to rigid rules and regulations. In contrast to the "organization man" of the 1950s, Mr. Hock sees the emergence of the "self-organization man" (and woman, of course!).
Within a healthy, non-hierarchical enterprise, management comes to mean something utterly different from supervising subordinates. For Mr. Hock, the priorities of management are best listed in the following order:
(The standard objection is that this leaves very little time for supervising subordinates. That's a feature, not a bug!)
What's missing in these relationships is control, oversight, steering, handling, manipulation, and other forms of moving people around by force of hand. When we remove those things, what seeps back in are communication, coordination, creativity, ingenuity, shared problem solving, common sense, mutual benefit, spontaneity, responsibility, trust, and respect. In other words, humanity.
My new colleague Henrik Joretag has written a book entitled Human JavaScript. I'm all in favor. More fundamentally, I'm in favor of discovering deeply human ways of working, and at the same time building tools to make that easier for teams everywhere. It sure seems like a worthy mission for the next 15+ years of my professional life. :-)
In preparation for my new gig, I've been actively tuning out extraneous information sources: email discussion lists, Twitter users, blogs, news websites, financial commentators, political pundits -- you name it, I've started to ignore it. Most of it is distracting chatter. More to the point, very little of it helps me improve as a technologist, as a teammate, as a person. Better, I think, to spend my time diving more deeply into real code and APIs; to absorb big ideas through books, specs, and papers; to interact directly with people who are important to me and to the goals we're achieving together; to devote longer blocks of time to actual work.
At the least, these are habits I'm working to learn. Self-management is a never-ending pursuit...

The surveillance video of the incident tells a different story. It shows Brown seated near the computer equipment holding a portable fingerprint reader. After being told by Dempsey to put down the fingerprint reader, Brown responded by showing his middle finger to the deputy." - MSN

Ah, well I disagree, because you know, that's not the point (Which I undertand you understand) so I'll leave it as is (as it's already plenty enjoyable and would otherwise be nerfed). And really the magic is... Unknown to the characters, know one even knows if the Grail even exists.
Anyway, SIN is fun as is her other Manga Black-Eyes Susan. It's all Western-y.
