Self-Service-BI-Tools werden oft als der Schlüssel zu schneller und unkomplizierter Datenanalyse beworben – doch in der Praxis sieht es häufig anders aus. In dieser Folge diskutieren Ulrik und Marcus die Herausforderungen und Fallstricke, die Unternehmen bei der Einführung solcher Tools erleben. Warum verlieren viele Unternehmen ihre Anwender auf dem Weg zur datengetriebenen Organisation? Welche Rolle spielt die IT tatsächlich, und wie können Kommunikationsstrategien und gezielte Schulungen dazu beitragen, die Akzeptanz von Self-Service zu steigern? Der Podcast beleuchtet verschiedene Ansätze, von individueller Nutzung bis zu Managed Self Service, und zeigt anhand praktischer Beispiele – etwa mit Power BI – wie Self-Service erfolgreich umgesetzt werden kann. Die Bedeutung von Datenkompetenz und gemeinsamer Kommunikation wird ebenso thematisiert wie technische Lösungen zur Performance-Optimierung. Hör jetzt rein und erfahre, wie du die Herausforderungen von Self-Service meisterst und datengetriebene Entscheidungen in deinem Unternehmen voranbringst!

Hwæt a Movie returns with Beowulf: Prince of the Geats! Given how hard this one is to find, we'd be surprised if any of you have seen it. Released in March 2007, shortly after SYFY's Grendel and ahead of Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf, this Scott Wegener-directed indie film dives into the epic tale with a unique take on the hero and his legendary battles. And while the film's limited budget and production constraints might be apparent, its dedication to the original text shines through. Making the film more charming and admirable is the fact that the production team and actors all worked for free on this passion project. All proceeds from the sale of the DVDs for Beowulf: Prince of the Geats went to aid both the American and Norwegian Cancer Societies. Get a sense of the film by watching the trailer here. The film stars both Jayshan Jackson and Damon Lynch III as the younger and older Beowulf. Wegener's decision to depict Beowulf as the son of an adventuring African fisherman offers some interesting possibilities and an approach to the character that we haven't seen yet. It's also one of the few film adaptations to follow Beowulf home to Geatland after his time in Denmark. As always, our episode includes an exhaustive summary of the film, a Q&A discussion, and our final ratings. How do these versions of Beowulf, Grendel, and Grendel's Mother stack up against those we've seen before? And how does this quirky, low-budget film score on its fidelity to the source material and its overall entertainment value? As the length of the episode might suggest, we've got a lot to say about this one. This was a delightful film to unpack, and we hope you enjoy hearing about it as much as we enjoyed discussing it.

Wenn alles Kopf steht, droht der Mensch, sich selbst zu verlieren. Dann sucht er sich Ventile, um den Weg zurück zum eigenen Glück wieder zu finden. Michaela Wegener beschäftigt sich damit intensiv: die studierte Psychologin coacht im Bereich der Positiven Psychologie, einem sehr jungen Forschungsfeld in diesem Bereich, und erkundet dort, was Glück überhaupt ist, und wie jeder Einzelne den Weg dahin finden kann. Ihr eigener Weg führte dabei nicht zuletzt über Finnland, wo sie mit sechzehn eine Reise zusammen mit einer Jugendgruppe verbrachte. Dort lernte sie vor allem eines: Menschen brauchen einander. An der Universität stört sie zunächst die akademische Verbrämung, aber auch die Kurzsichtigkeit: Themen wie Spiritualität kommen dort überhaupt nicht vor. Doch was ist es, was uns im Innersten zusammenhält? Mit Bent-Erik Scholz redet sie bei Kaffee und Schokobrötchen über den Menschen als Herdentier, Vertrauen und Einsamkeit.

Composer Margaret Wegener (1920 – 2020) led an extraordinary life both in the UK where she was born, and here in New Zealand, where she settled in 2005. A considerable body of Margaret's original compositions have been published, drawing praise from composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Herbert Howells, and John Rutter. Auckland Libraries is privileged to hold the collection of her musical life's work and pays tribute to this remarkable woman by showcasing some of her most beautifully crafted instrumental and vocal works. Some of the Auckland Philharmonia's Aspiring Musicians, a pianist from the Haydn Staples Auckland Philharmonia Piano Scholarship and other local musicians, come together in this performance to bring Margaret's music to life — a treasure to be discovered, heard and cherished.

I dag skal vi med Alfred Wegener og Den Tyske Grønlandske Ekspedition til Vestgrønland i1930. Ekspeditionen skulle observere de arktiske vejrforhold over et helt år på tre småvejrstationer, som de selv byggede, et på vestkysten, et midt på isen og et på østkysten –en videnskab bedrift, ingen tidligere havde præsteret. Med sig havde Wegener tomotordrevne slæder og hans forventninger til dem var store: De skulle transportere merened 100 tons udstyr hele 400 km ind på Indlandsisen, hvor han ville opføre denmeteorologiske målestation. Alle troede det var umuligt og snart begyndte problemerneogså at dukke op.Medvirkende:Historiker og museumsinspektør på Teknisk Museum, Mads Kring.Coverbillede: Alfred Wegener Institute

(NOTAS COMPLETAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/195-el-poder-de-las-herejias/)«La verdad se busca por sí misma; y al buscar aquello que se busca por sí mismo, uno solo está preocupado por encontrarlo... El buscador de la verdad no es quien estudia los escritos de los antiguos y confía en ellos, sino más bien quien duda de su fe en ellos y cuestiona lo que recogen, quien se somete al argumento y la demostración, y no a los dichos de un ser humano cuya naturaleza está llena de todo tipo de imperfección y deficiencia. [...] Si aprender la verdad es su objetivo, es su deber hacerse enemigo de todo lo que lee, y [...] atacarlo desde todos los lados. También debe sospechar de sí mismo [...] para [...] evitar caer en cualquier prejuicio o indulgencia. Si sigue este camino, se le revelarán las verdades [...]»Algo parecido a esta defensa del pensamiento crítico dejó escrito el primer personaje de los muchos que vamos a mencionar hoy. Digo parecido, porque lo hizo en árabe antiguo y esto es una traducción más que modernizada. Su autor fue Hasan Ibn-al-Haytham, más conocido en Occidente como Alhazen y considerado por muchos como el primer científico. Y nació en el año 965, en un mundo en el que no existían los relojes, ni los telescopios, ni los microscopios, ni casi nada de lo que hoy nos es normal. Comenzó estudiando la religión, pero pronto acabó desencantado con sus dogmas incuestionables y con la manera en la que volvía a unas personas contra otras. Así que decidió volcarse en la búsqueda de la verdad objetiva, pura e imparcial. Se dedicó a estudiar a fondo la realidad.Y así, 8 siglos antes de que se inventara la fotografía, Alhazen fue el primero en dar una explicación completa a un fenómeno que se conocía desde tiempos de la antigua Grecia: cómo, en una sala oscura con una única apertura en uno de sus muros, al colarse los rayos de luz por ella, se proyectaba en la pared opuesta la imagen del exterior, invertida tanto horizontal como verticalmente. Es lo que siglos más tarde, Kepler llamaría cámara oscura. La palabra «cámara», de hecho, viene del árabe y de los textos de Alhazen, que influyeron a gente como Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes o el propio Kepler. Y es que en sus libros sobre óptica fue capaz de desmontar las teorías griegas sobre el funcionamiento de la luz, que aún en su época se consideraban correctas, y de describir, a través de sus experimentos, la anatomía y el funcionamiento de nuestros ojos, como un sistema óptico. Para escribir esos libros, eso sí, Alhazen tuvo que recurrir a medidas extremas. Tras despertar la ira del califa de turno, tuvo que hacerse el loco, literalmente. Sólo recluyéndose en su casa durante años pudo dedicarse a descifrar la realidad. Y es que, Alhazen, como muchas de las personas que cambiaron el mundo, fue considerado un hereje.Y hoy vamos a celebrar la herejía, porque se me han juntado distintas lecturas que he ido acumulando en los últimos meses con una idea que tengo a medio cocinar sobre la necesidad que tenemos de poner a prueba mucho de lo que damos por sentado en nuestra sociedad, en nuestras empresas… y en nuestra vida en general. Eso sí, no sé muy bien qué va a salir de aquí, ya te lo digo. Patrocinador del capítulo: PortobelloStreet.es ¿Te gusta kaizen?

Lili Elbe, artista plástica, foi das primeiras pessoas a passar por uma cirurgia de redesignação de gênero (história contada no filme “A Garota Dinamarquesa”). Nascida em 1882 e batizada como Einar Wegener, Elbe viveu a maior parte da sua vida como homem. Enquanto estudava Belas Artes em Copenhague, conheceu Gerda Gottlieb, também pintora, c quem se casou. De acordo com sua autobiografia, « De homem a mulher: a primeira mudança de gênero”, Elbe percebeu sua verdadeira identidade quando sua esposa pediu que ele se vestisse de mulher para posar em uma de suas telas. A partir daí, Einar Wegener e Lili Elbe passaram a coexistir: a transição de gênero ainda não era definitiva, e a artista saía de casa ora como homem (Wegener), ora como mulher (Elbe). No início da década de 1930, Lili Elbe não tinha mais dúvidas sobre sua identidade definitiva, e procurou Magnus Hirschfeld, médico e sexólogo pioneiro no estudo da transexualidade, para efetuar a transição. LE passou por algumas das que são consideradas as primeiras cirurgias de redesignação de gênero, removendo a genitália masculina e passando por uma vaginoplastia. Após a transição, seu casamento com Gerda Gottlieb foi anulado, e LE foi autorizada pelo rei dinamarquês a mudar de nome, recebendo todos seus documentos com o nome social e o sexo feminino registrados. Elbe entrou em um relacionamento com um homem, e quis ter filhos. Um transplante de útero, resultou em sua morte: seu corpo rejeitou o órgão, e LE morreu alguns meses depois. Pouco antes de morrer, Elbe escreveu a um amigo: “Provei que tenho o direito de viver existindo como Lili durante 14 meses. Podem dizer que 14 meses não são muito, mas para mim é uma vida humana completa e feliz”. Após sua morte, em 1931, sua autobiografia sobre a transição de gênero foi publicada. Em 2015, um filme inspirado na vida de Lili Elbe foi lançado: “A Garota Dinamarquesa”, indicado a muitos dos principais prêmios cinematográficos do mundo. #lilielbe #mulherdefibra #transexualidade #transicaodegenero #artesplasticas #agarotadinamarquesa

I AM VANESSA GUILLEN chronicles the life and death of a young Mexican-American soldier who vanishes from a U.S. Army base. Her family leads an international movement to find her and expose ongoing corruption within the military ranks. Vanessa Guillen always dreamed of joining the U.S. Army, but after reporting being sexually harassed at Fort Hood in Texas, she disappeared. After a two-month search, her remains were found in a nearby rural area, sparking rage at Army officials – and a fight for justice. I AM VANESSA GUILLEN follows Vanessa's sisters Lupe and Mayra as they carry her name from protests in the streets to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., and offers a behind-the-scenes look at their tenacious pursuit to change a deeply rooted, controversial military justice system. Featuring interviews with family and friends as well as elected officials like Rep. Jackie Spears and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, I AM VANESSA GUILLEN is a bracing, candid testament to what a family's love can do, even in the face of unimaginable grief. The film was executive produced by Story Syndicate's Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin and Nell Constantinople. Director by Christy Wegener joins us for a conversation on the under-reported incidents of sexual assault that are rife in all branches of the United States military, the steely determination of Vanessa's family to find her, bring justice to her murder and organize a sustained effort to bring accountability to the unaccountable military chain of command.

So far we've considered physics and biology in our exploration of scripture and science. Today we begin to consider how earth science and the bible fit together. This becomes particularly significant when considering interpretations for Noah's flood. We'll get to that next time. But, for today, our teacher will lay out the basics of geology and earth science to give us a good overview. He'll also cover radiometric dating, which has a bearing on how scientists determine the age of the earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VzgrLAFXfg&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Flhim.org%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt See below for notes. —— Links —— We are doing follow-up discussions to these episodes on YouTube.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Geology, Earth Science, and Atmospheric Science • Geology• Important cycles• Plate tectonics Geology • Types of rocks/rock cycle• Geological principles• Dating methods• Structure of the Earth What is Geology? Geology is the study of the Earth and the processes related to the Earth. • Geologists study rocks (and the rock cycle)• Subfields include atmospheric studies (meteorology), volcanology (studying volcanos), and mineralogy (study of minerals) Types of Rocks There are three major categories of rocks: • Sedimentary - formed by pressure acting on sediment• Igneous - formed by lava• Metamorphic - formed by extreme pressure and heat The Rock Cycle Since wind and water are constantly affecting change, there is a rock cycle. Geological Principles There are several main principles of geology: • Superposition• Cross-cutting relationships• Uniformitarianism Dating Methods There are major types of dating: • Absolute dating• Relative dating Absolute Dating Absolute dating is based on radioactive decay. What is radioactive decay? • Some forms of certain elements are (by nature) unstable• Over time, these elements change on the atomic level (sometimes losing protons and neutrons; sometimes exchanging protons and neutrons, etc.) Carbon Dating Carbon dating uses the decay of Carbon - 14 • Carbon - 12 has 6 neutrons and 6 protons• Carbon - 13 has 7 neutrons and 6 protons• Carbon - 14 has 8 neutrons and 6 protons What happens when Carbon - 14 decays? • Carbon - 14 exchanges a neutron for a proton• This changes the element from carbon to nitrogen• The reaction also produces an electron and an antineutrino So, how does this tell us anything about dating? • Radioactive decay is a process that is well understood• The half-life for carbon - 14 is ~5,700 years• This means, that it takes 5,700 years for the amount of carbon -14 in a sample to cut in half Is carbon dating exact? • No - it's a statistical process• However, there is a range of probable dates given Relative Dating What is relative dating? • Relative dating uses the geological principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships to provide estimates on how old certain features are• Example: dating a rock layer based on the age of another layer (dated using radiometric dating) Structure of the Earth How do scientists know about the structure of the Earth? • Scientists understand what waves do when they hit various materials (ex: ultrasound imaging)• Seismological data from earthquakes has given us insight into the structure of the Earth The Water Cycle The water cycle is the process by which water goes through the phases of liquid, gas, and solid. • The water cycle helps moderate temperatures on Earth• The water cycle also supports life through crops and drinking water Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles Carbon and nitrogen also experience cycles of solid, liquid, and gas. • The carbon cycle is important for the support of life.• Disruption of the carbon cycle is one of the biggest fears of those promoting climate change. Plate Tectonics History of plate tectonics • Ancients did not believe in tectonic separation• In 1620, Sir Francis Bacon noted that Africa and South America looked like they could have fit together• Similar animal fossils and other pieces of evidence started getting scientists' attention• In 1925, Alfred Wegener formally proposed plate tectonic theory and was ridiculed.• In 1930, Wegener died while on expedition in Greenland, trying to find evidence for his theory.• In the late 1960s, almost overnight, the theory of plate tectonics reached scientific mainstream. Evidence for plate tectonics: • Paleomagnetic data• Similar rock outcroppings• Fossil evidence• Spreading of the sea floor• Direct evidence - we can observe the movement! Challenges to plate tectonics: • Where is the energy coming from?• Why are the continental plates moving like they are? “Even today, many questions pertaining to plate tectonics remain unanswered. Many exceptions to rigid rules have been found throughout the world. Although classical plate tectonic theory works well for oceanic crust, it has a difficult time explaining the motion of the continents”— Jon Erickson, Plate Tectonics, page 259. Challenges for Geology There are several concerns with geology as a science: • The principle of uniformitarianism is impossible to prove and so it's an assumption• Relative dating techniques can use circular logic at times

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Balto/Togo theory of scientific development, published by Elizabeth on October 9, 2022 on LessWrong. Tragically I gave up on the Plate Tectonics study before answering my most important question: “Is Alfred Wegener the Balto of plate tectonics?” Let me back up. Balto Balto is a famous sled dog. He got a statue in NYC for leading a team of dogs through a blizzard to deliver antibody serum to Nome, Alaska in 1925, ending a diphtheria outbreak. Later Disney made a movie about how great he was. Except that run was a relay, and Balto only got famous because he did the last leg, which had the most press coverage but was also the easiest. The real hero was Togo, the dog who led the team through the hardest terrain and covered by far the most miles as well. Disney later made a movie about him that makes no mention of Balto for the first 90%, and then goes out of its way to talk about what a shit dog he was, that's why he didn't get included in any of the important teams, but Togo had had to do so many hard things they needed a backup team for the trivial last leg so Balto would have to do. Togo's owner died mad about the US mainland believing Balto was a hero. But since all the breeders knew who did the hard part Togo enjoyed a post-Nome level of reproductive success that Ghengis Khan could only dream about, so I feel like he was happy with his choices. But it's not like Togo did this alone either. He led one team in a relay, and there were 20 humans and 150 dogs that contributed to the overall run. Plus someone had to invent the serum, manufacture it, and get it to the start of the dog relay at Nenana, Alaska. So exactly how much credit should Togo get here? The part with Wegener I was pretty sure Alfred Wegener, popularly credited as the discoverer/inventor of continental drift and mentioned more prominently than any other scientist in discussions of plate tectonics, is a Balto. First of all, continental drift is not plate tectonics. Continental drift is an idea that maybe some stuff happened one time. Plate tectonics is a paradigm with a mechanism that makes predictions and explains a lot of data no one knew was related until that moment. Second, Wegener didn't discover any of the evidence he cited, he wasn't the first to have the idea, and it's not even clear he did much of the synthesis of the evidence. His original paper refers to “Concerning South America and Africa, biologists and geologists are in close agreement that a Brazilian–African continent existed in the Mesozoic” So he didn't invent the idea, gather the data, or even really synthesize the evidence. His guess at the mechanism was wrong. But despite spending hours digging into the specific discovers and synthesizers that contributed to plate tectonics, the only name I remember is Wegener's. Classic Balto. On the other hand, some of the people who gathered the data used to discover plate tectonics were motivated by the concept of continental drift, and by Wegener specifically. That seems like it should count for something. My collaborator Jasen Murray thinks it counts for a lot Jasen would go so far as to argue that shining a beacon in unknown territory that inspires explorers to look for treasure in the right place makes you the Togo, racing through fractured ice rapids social ridicule and self-doubt to do the real work of getting an idea considered at all. Showing up at the finish line to formalize a theory after there's enough work to know it's true is Balto work to him. This makes me profoundly uncomfortable because strongly advocating for something unproven terrifies me, but as counterargument arguments go that's pretty weak. One difficulty is it's hard to distinguish “ahead of their time beacon shining” from “lucky idiot”, and even Jasen admits he doesn't know enough to claim Wegener in particular is...

Unlike golf clubs and tennis racquets,  surfboards are still largely made by local artisans.               But, what sets the surfboard making industry apart from parallel industries? Why do local shapers still make boards? Master shaper Tom Wegener examines this question -- and much more -- in his PhD thesis and book Surfboard Artisans: For the Love.  "How can an industry which values passion over money be resilient and sustainable in a capitalistic society which has money as the primary value?," he asks, and goes on the elucidate how commitment to culture has made for an exceptionally resilient, even logic defying industry. Tom started shaping and glassing in 1978 in his parents garage and is best known for helping to re-popularize old and ancient Hawaiian surfcraft, as celebrated in films like Thomas Campbell's The Present, Nathan Oldfield's Seaworthy,  Jack McCoy's A Deeper Shade of Blue, and Cyrus Sutton's Tom's Creation Plantation.What sets Tom apart as a shaper is his surfing prowess. Tom played an integral role in keeping the traditional logging approach alive when it fell out of fad, embarking in self-funded films like Ten Toes Over and Siestas & Olas, which Steve Pezman, of the Surfers Journal, reviewed as the “best surf travel movie since Endless Summer.”With more than four decades of building boards under his belt, including homegrown timber crafts which exemplify a more  sustainable approach, Tom shares with us about the responsibility he feels charged with -- to pass along the knowledge he has acquired and share his journey as a relentless artisan. ....Learn more:www.tomwegenersurfboards.com...Listen with Lauren L.
