Suite des rencontres pendant le festival Rituel Noir, un événement à taille humaine qui s'est déroulé le week-end du premier mai, dans la campagne bretonne. Le label indépendant Les Acteurs de L'ombre a investi une jolie ferme pour trois soirs de concerts, lectures de contes, cérémonies de Beltane, ateliers de joutes viking et autres festivités qui se sont déroulées sous un surprenant soleil.Nous avons rencontré le groupe emblématique Darkenhöld, à l'univers médiéval foisonnant, riche et en permanente évolution depuis sa création en 2008. Avec un black metal atmosphérique épuré et lumineux, on évolue dans un univers de contes et légendes, de malédictions, trahisons et faits d'armes, de chateaux, de pics rocheux et de créatures mystérieuses. Les rythmes entraînent, portés par des chœurs et des claviers aux sonorités mystiques.Le dernier album du groupe, Le Fléau du Rocher est disponible chez les Acteurs de l'Ombre. Notons qu'une version limitée intitulée « Le Conte du Rocher » est également parue, avec un bel inédit : un conte créé et lu par le conteur Quentin Fourreau.Cervantes et Aldébarran, chanteur et guitariste lead sont les plus bavards, tandis qu'Aboth, le batteur et Anthony à la guitare se font plus discret. Aleevok le bassiste, également connu sous le nom de Belore était, quant à lui, resté au bar.***Le bandcamp du groupe : https://darkenhold.bandcamp.com/Le label du groupe : https://lesacteursdelombre.net/Chansons utilisées : Le cortège royal - Mystique de la VouivreRetrouvez la performance du groupe pendant le Rituel Noir :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk2if5PxFUc***Soutenez Bookalicious (et recevez de beaux goodies) par ici : https://fr.tipeee.com/bookalicious-1Ce podcast fait partie du label Podcut !

www.iotusecase.com#ConditionMonitoring #GoldenBatch #IoTPlatformThis is a special 15-minute episode of the IoT Use Case Podcast. Host Madeleine Mickeleit speaks with Frederic Schum, Product Manager Digital Solutions at ALD Vacuum Technologies.In focus: how ALD is using its Expert Grid platform to implement process transparency across industrial furnaces – including the use of “golden batch” monitoring as a real-world example. Podcast SummaryIn this short episode, Frederi Schum from ALD Vacuum Technologies shares how the company is driving digital transformation in industrial heat treatment and vacuum metallurgy. At the heart of their approach is the ALD Expert Grid platform, which enables connectivity to both new and decades-old furnaces. Frederic explains how this platform serves as a foundation for real-time monitoring, data visualization, and integration with existing MES and ERP systems. A key example discussed is the “golden batch” principle—a method of comparing live process values against an ideal reference curve based on historical production data. The conversation also covers how ALD overcomes technical challenges such as legacy PLCs, missing interfaces, and global equipment heterogeneity. The Expert Grid's modular architecture allows ALD to adapt to individual customer setups and build reliable, future-proof solutions. This episode offers a clear and practical look at how platform-based IoT is being applied in the heavy industry sector—starting with transparency and evolving toward intelligent process control. -----Relevante Folgenlinks:Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Frederic (https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-schum-b76314149/)ALD Expert Grid (https://www.ald-vt.com/ald_expert_services/ald_expert_grid/)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen1x monatlich IoT Use Case Update erhalten

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story.

C dans l'air du 27 juin 2025 - Retraites, santé : coup de chaud pour Bayrou La porte-parole du gouvernement avait prévenu : le prochain budget sera un "cauchemar". Ces derniers jours, les contours de ce budget 2026 se précisent, et le signal est clair : les économies seront douloureuses, notamment pour la santé.Catherine Vautrin, ministre du Travail et de la Santé, a annoncé lors d'une audition à l'Assemblée nationale que 1,7 milliard d'euros d'économies seraient réalisés dès 2025 sur les dépenses de santé. Parmi les premières victimes : les revalorisations tarifaires promises aux kinésithérapeutes et médecins libéraux, vont être reportées au 1er janvier 2026. Le gouvernement cible aussi l'hôpital, les arrêts de travail, les affections de longue durée (ALD) et envisage de nouveaux déremboursements de médicaments.Autre front sensible : le transport sanitaire. L'exécutif entend maintenir la pression dans les négociations avec les chauffeurs de taxi, sur fond de réforme des tarifs. "Nous n'avons pas d'autre solution que cette réforme du modèle de tarification", a martelé Catherine Vautrin. Autrement dit : il n'y aura pas de recul.Sur les retraites, le climat reste tout aussi tendu. Après quatre mois de concertation sans accord entre partenaires sociaux, le Premier ministre a tenté jeudi de reprendre la main. Refusant de parler d'"échec" du conclave, François Bayrou a vanté plusieurs "avancées", à commencer par un consensus sur l'objectif de retour à l'équilibre en 2030 et le maintien du départ à 64 ans, tel que fixé par la loi Borne. Le chef du gouvernement a également proposé a proposé aux "experts et négociateurs des organisations de se remettre au travail" "15 jours, 10 jours" convaincu qu'un accord était à portée de main pour améliorer la réforme des retraites de 2023.Mais le premier syndicat de France a refusé de participer à "de nouvelles séances de négociations". Pour la CFDT, les deux derniers points de blocage dans les négociations, que sont la pénibilité et le financement du système de retraites, sont "deux éléments extrêmement importants et structurants des discussions"."Si, à un moment, le gouvernement veut trouver une voie d'équilibre, il faut qu'il comprenne que, pour mon organisation, il n'y a pas de voie de passage sans la réparation sur la pénibilité, avec le dispositif qu'on a proposé", a-t-elle ajouté, précisant que le bureau national de la CFDT avait rendu un avis "unanime" en ce sens vendredi matin."Si les organisations considèrent que ce n'est plus leur heure et qu'il faut trancher, on tranchera", a répondu ce vendredi le Premier ministre. L'échec du conclave sur les retraites est un coup dur pour le locataire de Matignon, et s'annonce lourd de conséquences. Le Parti socialiste, qui réclame un projet de loi "sans délai" pour reparler des retraites et mettre au menu du Parlement toutes les mesures qui fâchent, y compris l'âge légal de départ à la retraite porté à 64 ans en 2023, a annoncé en début de semaine le dépôt d'une motion de censure. Sauf coup de théâtre le RN ne devrait pas la voter, mais le Premier ministre se retrouve dans une position encore plus compliquée avant la présentation du budget. Le gouvernement s'avance vers un automne parlementaire à hauts risques.LES EXPERTS :- Gaël SLIMAN - Président et co-fondateur de l'institut de sondage ODOXA - Stéphanie VILLERS - Economiste, conseillère économique de PwC France - Philippe MABILLE - Directeur éditorial la Tribune et la Tribune Dimanche - Sylvie PIERRE-BROSSOLETTE - Editorialiste politique au Point

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.
