Fitch Ratings downgrading the US credit rating to AA+ from AAA sparked a panic sell off on Wall St overnight with the Dow Jones closing the day down almost 1%, while the S&P500 lost 1.38% and the tech heavy Nasdaq tumbled 2.17%. The Nasdaq has its worst day since February as the Fitch ratings cut on the long-term foreign currency issuer default rating on the U.S. citing “expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years” as the reason behind the move. The last time the US was downgraded was in 2011 by Standard's and Poor. Economists and analysts alike are expecting the risk-driven sell-off to be short lived and the impact of the downgrade to be temporary.Norwegian Cruise Line shares fell 3% on Wednesday, a day after the company issued weaker-than-expected guidance for the third quarter. SolarEdge Technologies tanked 19% after the company reported revenue of US$991m which fell short of analysts' estimates of US$992m, and the company also issued weaker-than-expected guidance for Q3 revenue.Over in Europe, markets closed lower across the region as investors digested the U.S. credit rating downgrade alongside the release of key corporate results. The STOXX600 fell 1.35%, Germany's DAX fell 1.36%, the French CAC lost 1.26%, and, in the UK, the FTSE100 fell 1.36%.Siemens Healthcare fell just under 7% on Wednesday after the company reported a third quarter profit decline.The local index closed 1.29% lower yesterday with every sector ending the midweek session in the red on the back of a sell-off in New York on Tuesday. Utilities stocks took the biggest hit, with the sector closing down 2.19% while REIT stocks gave up all of Tuesday's gains to close down just shy of 2%.The big iron ore miners also took a hit yesterday with BHP (ASX:BHP), Rio (ASX:RIO) and FMG (ASX:FMG) falling 1.1%, 0.9% and 2% respectively on a decline in the price of iron ore to US$111/tonne. Pilbara Minerals rallied yesterday after the lithium miner announced an update on the final investment decision for its mid-stream demonstration plant with the board granting approval for construction of the plant to produce value added lithium product at Pilgangoora. The plant will cost $105m, $20m of which will be funded by an Australian government grant.What to watch today:The sell-off on Wall St is likely to impact the local market today with the SPI futures anticipating the ASX to open Thursday's session down 0.79%.On the commodities front this morning oil is trading 2.02% lower at US$79.64/barrel, uranium is up 0.18% at US$56.24/pound gold is down almost half a percent at US$1935/ounce and iron ore is flat at US$111/tonne.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.65, 93.72 Japanese Yen, 51.52 British Pence and NZ$1.08.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the price target on PSC Insurance (ASX:PSI) from $5.86 to $6.41 and maintain a buy rating on the diversified insurance company following the release of the company's trading update outlining that it expects it expects to deliver underlying EBITDA of $111m for FY23 subject to audit and signoff, which is well above the previously guided range.And Bell Potter has decreased the 12-month price target on Calix (ASX:CXL) from $9 to $8.70 and maintain a speculative buy rating on the emerging environmental technology company following the release Pilbara Minerals' update on the final investment decision for the mid-stream demonstration plant which signifies a key de-risking milestone as the plant is a joint venture between PLS and Calix. The FID reflects a satisfactory level of technical and economic feasibility and lithium phosphate marketing completed to date to advance the project into construction.

Microsoft Launches Microsoft Viva, an Employee Experience Platform

Microsoft announced the launch of Microsoft Viva, an employee experience platform designed to help people connect, focus, learn, and thrive at work. In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, I was joined by my partner and fellow analyst Daniel Newman to talk all things Microsoft Viva. For starters, a solution like Microsoft Viva is important on a number of fronts — we've collectively adapted to hybrid work, business leaders are cognizant of and trying to avoid burnout, and are focused on helping people feel more connected and supported by the organization, and they are also recognizing the importance of learning management and creating a culture of continuous learning within organizations (and making learning easy). The Microsoft Viva Experience platform is comprised of a number of components that are conveniently centered around connection, insights, learning, and topics. Our conversation included a brief snapshot of each, including: Viva Connections The Viva Connections part of the Microsoft Viva Employee Experience Platform is the “gateway to modern employee experience” that is personalized and appears in the apps and devices employees use every day (like Teams). Viva Connections gives people a curated, company-branded experience that pulls together news, conversations, and other resources. It designed to be quick and easy to use, and users can publish content from SharePoint, Yammer, or Microsoft steam, to a single feed and post the external news and content organizations want employees to see (and use). Of special interest to me, was the ability to use the Viva Connections platform to reach specific departments, regions, or roles within the company, by audience targeting or bring attention to important items in the feed by way of “boosting” so that items appear on top of the news feed until read or they have accomplished a certain number of impressions. Microsoft Viva Topics Microsoft Viva Topics uses AI to help empower people within the organization with knowledge and expertise in various apps to connect, manage, protect, and share that knowledge across systems and teams. Note that Viva Topics is available today for Microsoft commercial customers. Viva Topics is intended to help manage the sea of information that employees encounter and must deal with on a daily basis. Microsoft data indicates that employees on average spend more than an hour a day looking for or recreating info that already exists within the organization, more than triple what they spent five years ago. To be fair, there's more information now, but still, that's a lot of wasted time and incredibly frustrating. Onboarding, skill development, and knowledge drain are key issues business leaders face and Viva Topics is intended to address that. It appears as though this has grown out of the Project Cortex Preview program, launched about two years ago, a program in which Microsoft customers participated to help shape the product. Companies like Arla Foods, Unilever, Siemens Healthcare, and Mott MacDonald have been using Viva Topics in their organizations and have participated along the way in fine-tuning this product. Microsoft Viva Learning Microsoft Viva Learning is yet another component of Microsoft Viva platform, and is an app for Microsoft Teams that is in private preview at this time. In June of 2020, Microsoft announced a goal of helping 25 million people around the world gain the digital skills they need to be successful. Now the goal is to extend beyond supporting jobseekers to helping support people's success once they are hired. Daniel and I know from firsthand experience as well as our own research that successful digital transformation journeys (and successful organizations) rely on an organizations' commitment to create a culture of continuous learning. That's exactly what Microsoft Viva Learning is designed to do.   Viva Learning features a central hub where people can discover, share, assign, and learn from best-in-class content libraries, including LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn, third party content providers, and an organization's own custom content, all geared to make learning on a daily basis a standard thing. Teams and groups can set up their own learning tabs, and learning is not only personalized, but learning content is also centralized and easily accessed. In developing Viva Learning, Microsoft, partnered with Skillsoft, Coursera, Pluralsight, and edX to integrate world-class content into Viva Learning. It's also exciting to see that some of the biggest learning management system providers SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, OnDemand, Saba have announced their intent to integrate with Viva Learning. Microsoft Viva Insights Last but never least, we touched on Microsoft Viva Insights, the final part of Microsoft's Viva employee experience platform. This offering is focused on employee wellbeing, which enables productivity, innovation, and engagement at work. Why is this relevant? Burnout and stress are increasingly more commonplace today — and that's a problem, and learning and development can play an important role in reducing stress and burnout. LinkedIn Learning's 2019 Workplace Learning Report showed that 94% of employees surveyed said they would stay at a company longer if it invested in their learning and development. Boom. Equally relevant to this conversation, a December 2020 study found that 75% of US employees reported experiencing burnout, 70% reported higher stress, and more than half reported elevated levels of anxiety. All of these things inevitably lead to a lack of engagement, and non-engaged, unhappy employees generally don't stay. As part of the Microsoft Viva Insights platform, the Glint Microsoft Power BI dashboard plays a role. Glint is a “People Success Platform” that was acquired by LinkedIn in 2018 and which uses real-time data, “people data,” to help employees increase employee engagement and develop their people. Microsoft Viva Insights for Teams is designed around fostering a culture where people can thrive. Featuring a dashboard designed to gauge how employees are feeling, the hope is that leaders can use de-identified and aggregated collaboration data to see “how people are working” and get a sense of how engaged and connected they are overall. Personal wellbeing experiences, medication, mindfulness experiences, collaboration within the organization, engagement with others, all of these things are able to be monitored in a personal yet private manner, and hopefully help everyone — individuals, managers, and leaders — thrive. What we share here in these show notes and in our conversation in the webcast just scratches the surface on all things related to Microsoft Viva's employee experience platform. Not surprising seeing this coming from Microsoft, and it's a perfect addition to the M365 platform, easily accessible by all — from enterprises to small to midsize businesses. It will be interesting for our team to watch how this plays out.

Das Gesundheitswesen wird gerade mit einem ordentlichen Digitalisierungsschub „geimpft“, etwa mit dem „Patientendaten-Schutz-Gesetz“, dem eRezept und der elektronischen Patientenakte. Mit diesen Neuerungen stehen der Patient und seine Bedürfnisse voll und ganz im Mittelpunkt. Mit einer digitalen Gesundheitsplattform gestalten Siemens und IBM diese Digitalisierung mit, gemeinsam mit anderen Partnern. Thilo Mahr, Market Access Manager bei Siemens Healthcare gibt den Zuschauern nähere Einblicke in die neue „teamplay digital health platform“, die neben anderen Anwendungen und Betreibern wie der gematik die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen vorantreiben möchte. Mit dieser offenen digitalen Plattform werden wichtige Akteure des Gesundheitswesens vernetzt, besonders Krankenhäuser. Beispielsweise nutzt die Berliner Charité diese Plattform. Und diese Plattform bringt ganz konkreten Mehrwert für die Patienten: Manche von uns haben sicher schon Erfahrung mit den oft langwierigen Anmeldeprozessen in Krankenhäusern gemacht, bei denen oft noch diverse Papierformulare gezückt werden. Mit der neuen Gesundheitsplattform können solche Anmeldungen auch bequem und digital von zu Hause erledigt werden. Aber dies ist nur einer der vielen Anwendungsfälle. Gerade in einem solchen sensiblen Bereich wie dem Gesundheitswesen und Patientendaten haben manche natürlich auch Bedenken wegen des Datenschutzes – und diese Bedenken sind wichtig und sollten gehört werden. Datenschutz und Sicherheit ist deshalb auch oberste Priorität bei der „teamplay digital health platform“. Betrieben wird sie in zwei verschiedenen Rechenzentren von IBM und Siemens in Deutschland, und die Informationen sind in einer Indexstruktur hinterlegt – die eigentlichen Dokumente verbleiben zum Beispiel beim Krankenhaus. IBM und Siemens besitzen beide große Erfahrung in der Digitalisierung und wissen um das hohe Gut des Datenschutzes und setzen diesen um. In der Presseschau kommentiert Moderator Stefan Pfeifer aktuelle Medienberichte über Technologiethemen und ordnet sie ein. In der Eventvorschau stellen Nina Kny, Field Marketing Leader IBM Services DACH und Marius Merkel, Manager IBM Technology Enterprise & Brand Sales for Strategic Accounts D-A-CH das Event „Lab Comes to you“ vor.

Quantum Physics And The Mystery Schools With Aari Lotfipour Looking for an online community to help you understand these difficult times? Join the Phoenix program! https://beyondhomosapien.com/phoenix/ How does a new understanding around quantum physics and quantum mechanics fit into a more esoteric view of the universe? In this episode, I am joined by Aari Lotfipour and we chat about how having a deeper understanding of concepts like vibration and frequency are important in our spiritual lives. As humans begin to evolve in consciousness, we are developing more in our understanding that the ancient masters have oftentimes been speaking the same language as modern day researchers. For example, quantum researchers have found that a person observing a frequency has an impact on the outcome. In this episode, Aari and I talk about the vibrational frequency that humans emit as a result of our divine source within. This video covers esoteric concepts and how they tie together with modern day teachings. When we find the common denominators across world religions and modern day scientific discoveries, we find this idea of consciousness at the core. We are swimming in a vibrational cosmic frequency that emits from some source that is present at all times. In the Secret Doctrine of the mystery schools, this was taught as the doctrine of emanation. In her book Isis Unveiled, HP Blavatsky wrote about how the ancient mystics taught that all of reality emanated from a source. This divine spirit was the creative principle and source of astral light that manifests reality into being. Now, in 2020, researchers are finding that quantum mechanics is coming to similar conclusions about the nature of the universe. Our universe is ever-expanding, always changing, alive in some form, and infinite in power and energy. Inside of this universe, we swim. In the same way, we can imagine ourselves held in the mind of some infinite being in whose brain matter we all swim and take our form. On this show I’m joined by Aari Lotfipour.

Sept 2019 - 15: ITC drives motorsport subcontractor to success

Leading Scottish subcontract manufacturer, Euro Precision Ltd has now specified cutting tools from Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) to improve productivity on a range of automotive components. The Glenrothes subcontract engineering company has build its reputation upon manufacturing critical precision components & assemblies to exacting quality standards for the aerospace, automotive, medical, telecommunications petrochemical and electronics sectors. The diverse customer base has been established over a 25 year history, and from its 30,000sq/ft factory, the company boasts clients such as Siemens Healthcare, Glenair, Leonardo, Zeiss and AMG Petronas as a small selection. With a customer base that any subcontract business would be proud of, Euro Precision has established a reputation for the production of high quality workmanship, inspired innovation, cost effective solutions and customer service. The Fife Company recently undertook a project for Mercedes HPP (high performance powertrain) that required programming and tooling efficiencies and improvements for the machining of a series of engine components. The complex outlet manifolds and valve waste assembly are manufactured from inconel 625 on Euro Precision’s high-spec Matsuura MAM-72 5-axis multi pallet machining centre. Manufactured for the next generation of supercar, the Mercedes HPP project requires over 2700 manifold outlets and 2000 valve waste assemblies. With such production volumes, it was critical for Euro Precision Ltd to get the process running efficiently as possible and this is where ITC entered the fray. Commenting upon the situation, Euro Precision Engineering Manager, Mr Grant Steele says: “We required a stable process that could achieve the shortest possible cycle time while returning good size control and cost effective tooling solutions. I already tooled the part up with another manufacturer and because material was inconel 625, I was expecting to take a hit on slower machining times and poor tool life. However, based on production requirements and the project time frame, I couldn’t live with current method.” “I discussed the situation with Gary Heaney from ITC. Gary has been a regular supplier of high-quality aluminium cutting tools to Euro Precision for many years. Down the years, Gary has successfully supported us on many machining projects to reduce cycle times, tooling costs and improve our machining performance and consistency. With his experience of supplying tooling to the aerospace engine sector that is primarily cutting high-temperature alloys, Gary seemed the obvious go-to person,” says Mr Steele. “Gary immediately doubled the surface speed by introducing ITC’s Cyber Series of multi-flute variable helix end mills and a trochoidal machining strategy at a 3XD axial depth of cut with a 4% radial step over and a high feed per tooth. The outcome was outstanding,” says Mr Steele. “With some subtle programme changes, we instigated a trochoidal machining strategy that increased the step over and radial engagement with the application of ITC’s 12mm diameter solid carbide Cyber Series. This reduced the cycle time by 50% and increased tool life by 3 times.” By implementing a machining strategy that incorporated a 3XD axial depth of cut instead of the previous 1.5XD strategy, Euro Precision was able to conduct most of the rough machining in a single pass. The machining parameters far exceeded the realms of possibility for the previous tools supplied by a prominent international tooling vendor. The performance of the ITC Cyber Series and its ability to prolong machining on such a challenging material led to further ITC solid carbide end mill introductions to the prestigious project. As Mr Steele recalls: “Following the success of the roughing tools, I asked Gary to look at the entire part. He subsequently supplied a range of radii corner tools and micro ball end mills that have performed first time, every time. We are now machining another high-performance engine component and ITC’s Cyber tooling is again producing the goods.” “ITC’s Gary Heaney certainly hasn't rested on his laurels. He is always looking at continuous improvement and we are already testing new indexable tooling solutions from ITC business partner Widia,” says Mr Steele. The Scottish manufacturing success story at Euro Precision is built upon the foundation of high-specification machine tools like the two Matsuura MAM72 5-axis machining centres. The Matsuura machines incorporate the BIG KAISER face and taper dual contact spindle interface, which is the only genuine face and taper contact system on the market. To benefit from the performance, rigidity and precision of the BIG KAISER face and taper system that guarantees run-out of 1 micron at the nose and 3 microns at 4xD, Euro Precision has installed a complete range of BIG KAISER precision collet and chuck systems that are available from ITC. The stability of the Matsuura spindle configuration and the BIG KAISER face and taper interface has enabled ITC to introduce a variety of high-performance tooling solutions. This has included a complete suite of 5 and 6 flute VariMill end mills as well as indexable face and shoulder milling tools from Widia with both rough and finish machining insert designations. The solid and robust machining platform has enabled ITC’s Gary Heaney to utilise both the ITC and Widia tools to full effect. The results have been a revelation to the Fife manufacturer, which has also implemented Widia indexable drilling and turning as well as solid carbide drilling to great success following the results on the Mercedes inconel project.

He earned Masters’ in both Bioengineering and Telecom Management in Madrid, and an MBA from Harvard. Connect with Carlos Reines: Linkedin Twitter Website * * * Full Transcription: Carlos:  I think I always had an easy one because my dad’s name is Carlos as well. I don’t think they had to break that too much. Tanya:  That’s great, so they followed the wonderful Spanish tradition on naming.  Carlos:  Yeah, absolutely. Tanya:  That’s Carlos Reines, Harvard grad and entrepreneur who raised $20 million for his startup RubiconMD, an eConsult platform that connects clinicians to top specialists. Now serving over 5,000 primary care physicians in 37 states in the US, RubiconMD has saved over 2.5 million days of patients waiting for specialist consults, which turns out to be almost 7,000 years. Carlos:  I grew up in Madrid. Actually, all my family is in Madrid. I was born and raised there, lived in the center of the city for the first few years, and then we went to the suburbs when I was about 5 or 6. I’ve really been in Madrid most of my life. When I was 22 is the first time that I went to study abroad. Through different work experiences and educational experiences, I’ve ended up spending time in the Netherlands, in Germany, and obviously, a lot of time in the US. Tanya:  If you were to describe yourself as a kid, how would you describe yourself? Carlos:  I was the only child, only nephew, only me, no cousins, for ten years. My mother is the oldest of six. On my dad’s side, his uncle never had children, so for about ten years, I was there by myself. I was getting a lot of love from the entire family. Tanya:  I can imagine.  Carlos:  At the same time, I was dying to get some folks around. I wanted to have cousins. I wanted to have siblings. In Spain, there is a big tradition in Christmas that the Three Magic Kings will bring you games and toys, and when I was a kid and I would write my letter, I would never ask for any games or toys. I just wanted to have a brother or a sister. I wanted to have that for a long time. It never happened, so I grew up as an only child. At some point, my parents had friends that lived outside of Madrid, and their son moved to Madrid for college. He was about five years older than I am, and he went to live with us. For three years, all of us had – I had an older brother, and it was an awesome experience.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine whether automated quantification of lung perfused blood volume (PBV) in dual-energy computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (DE-CTPA) can be used to assess the severity and regional distribution of pulmonary hypoperfusion in emphysema. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 40 consecutive patients (mean age, 67 13] years) with pulmonary emphysema, who have no cardiopulmonary comorbidities, and a DE-CTPA negative for pulmonary embolism. Automated quantification of global and regional pulmonary PBV was performed using the syngo Dual Energy application (Siemens Healthcare). Similarly, the global and regional degrees of parenchymal hypodensity were assessed automatically as the percentage of voxels with a computed tomographic density less than -900 Hounsfield unit. Emphysema severity was rated visually, and pulmonary function tests were obtained by chart review, if available. Results: Global PBV generated by automated quantification of pulmonary PBV in the DE-CTPA data sets showed a moderately strong but highly significant negative correlation with residual volume in percentage of the predicted residual volume (r = -0.62; P = 0.002; n = 23) and a positive correlation with forced expiratory volume in 1 second in percentage of the predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (r = 0.67; P < 0.001; n = 23). Global PBV values strongly correlated with diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (r = 0.80; P < 0.001; n = 15). Pulmonary PBV values decreased with visual emphysema severity (r = -0.46, P = 0.003, n = 40). Moderate negative correlations were found between global PBV values and parenchymal hypodensity both in a per-patient (r = -0.63; P G 0.001; n = 40) and per-region analyses (r = -0.62; P < 0.001; n = 40). Conclusions: Dual-energy computed tomographic pulmonary angiography allows simultaneous assessment of lung morphology, parenchymal density, and pulmonary PBV. In patients with pulmonary emphysema, automated quantification of pulmonary PBV in DE-CTPA can be used for a quick, reader-independent estimation of global and regional pulmonary perfusion, which correlates with several lung function parameters.

Between 2007 and 2010 more than 50 patients with spontaneous dissections of cervical arteries have been examined and scanned with a modified cervical MRI and fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) PET CT protocol at the Institute of Clinical Radiology, LMU Munich. Within this prospective, mono-centric study all imaging data was obtained by using a 3.0 tesla scanner (Magnetom Verio; Siemens Healthcare) and two PET CT scanners (Philips Gemini; Philips Healthcare and Siemens Biograph 64; Siemens Healthcare). This study was based on and conducted by a strong cooperation between the Department of Neurology and the Department of Nuclear Medicine. Detailed data sets regarding patient history and clinical parameters were recorded for every patient. The MRI protocol included a time-of-flight angiography, fat-saturated T1- and T2- weighted black-blood sequences before and after the administration of contrast medium (Gadovist®, Bayer-Schering). The scans covered the supra-aortic vessels from the aortic arch to the base of the skull with a best in plane resolution of 0.5 x 0.5 mm2. Every patient received an additional diffusion-weighted brain-MRI for evaluation of ischemia. The supra-aortic vessels of the same patients were also scanned by a low dose FDG/PET-CT. Measurements of standardized uptake values for every vessel segment were obtained after the administration of the tracer (activity: 5 MBq/kg bodyweight). The calculated effective dose was 8 mSv per patient. Along with quantitative PET-CT analysis, experienced radiologists performed qualitative evaluation of vessel wall inflammation for PET-CT and the MR images. Local inflammatory changes at the site of dissection were distinguished from generalized inflammation of the vascular system.
