CERN has confirmed that apparently a beech marten has caused “a short circuit in one of the electrical transformers [and] cut power to the LHC”.
And just because I heard the comment/joke twice already (sorry it’s in German, thx Basti) … das Tier war offensichtlich ein Selbstmarder :|
ATLAS Experiment © 2016 CERNAfter a great year 2015 and the usual winter break, the LHC is back up and produced the first beam splash events in the ATLAS detector last week. Only a couple of weeks/days and we’ll have stable beams and physics data again … find out more here.
Berlin Calling – yesterday, I went to see the opening concert of Paul Kalkbrenner‘s 2016 tour in Munich.
Once you accept the fact that it’s a well planned concert more than a live set in a club, which it usually is these days with him, it was actually quite nice. There were not too many surprises: he played his classics and stuff from the new album (where my preference lies on the classics). Here and there he could have given it a bit more drive, but you could call it a fair mixture. In my opinion, the first encore was the best part/track of the night (which unfortunately started 30 minutes late). The location (Zenith, Munich) was nice, though the organisation (especially the coat check) could certainly improve a bit. All in all, it was a good concert and a nice evening, but it could have rocked (not sure that’s the word) a bit more …
Check out his new album.
Today, I received this very nice box with two copies of the book “GoBD und Big Data: Neue Herausforderungen für die digitale Datenanalyse”, two bottles of wine and a kind letter from the Deggendorfer Forum zur digitalen Datenanalyse e.V., to celebrate the publication of the proceedings for the annual meeting I went to end of June.
It’s also a celebration of my first book as an author on Amazon :)
Thanks a lot to Prof. Georg Herde and the DFDDA e.V. for inviting me and of course for the gift box :)
