Sufi by Polynation
„We recorded Rumi‘s words with our friend Marlon Penn, he did the spoken word along with other vocal parts and pieces of guitar. In the production process we often find ourselves coming up with lots of ideas, new layers and alternate versions. By re-using the sounds as a starting point for a next track, we tried to create a journey. That‘s how we came up with these three songs – all have the same theme, but are based on a previous version.“

Alien Love by Jackie Lynn
“I’ve always been the source of action. My mom didn’t even make it to the hospital before I decided to come into this world. She had to lie right down on the sidewalk in front of Rolling Hills Hospital as doctors hovered around to help. It was storming that morning, and right as I was coming into the world a bolt of lighting fell from the sky, striking my mother right in the belly. They say I shot out of her like a bullet from a gun, right into oncoming traffic.”

Joomla-Verein kämpft um seine Gemeinnützigkeit
Der 2004 ursprünglich als „Mambo e. V.“ ins Leben gerufene Verein hat sich die Förderung der Nutzung freier Software auf die Fahnen geschrieben. 2012 verweigerte das zuständige Finanzamt Aachen jedoch die bis dahin unbestrittene Anerkennung als gemeinnützig und die damit verbundene reduzierte Besteuerung.
Open Source unterstützen reicht nicht
Die Unterstützung von Open-Source-Software reicht alleine in Deutschland noch nicht aus, um als gemeinnützig anerkannt zu werden. Das Vereinsziel umfasst laut Satzung aber auch die Förderung der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung, was laut §52 der Abgabenordnung als gemeinnütziger Zweck anerkannt ist. Offenbar zweifelt das Finanzamt Aachen jedoch daran, dass Veranstaltungen wie die Joomla-Konferenz JoomlaDay mit ihren Vorträgen das Bildungsziel erfüllen.

Theresa May’s surveillance plans should worry us all
So Theresa May’s investigatory powers bill has completed its passage through the House of Commons. It passed its third reading by 444 votes to 69 and now goes to the Lords for further consideration.

Today‘s smartphones track location through GPS and cell towers, but that does little more than tell apps where you are. Tapping Google‘s 3-year-old Project Tango , the new Phab2 Pro phone will use software and sensors to track motions and map building interiors, including the location of doors and windows.

Four new elements get their final names
For element 113, Japan is recognized by one of its alternate names, Nihon. The element will be called nihonium, and bear the symbol Nh. The remaining elements were produced by collaboration between the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia and two of the US‘ national labs: Oak Ridge and Lawrence Livermore. Element 115 honors the Russian part of that collaboration with the name moscovium (symbol Mc). 117 handles Oak Ridge by getting the name tennessine, or Ts. Lawrence Livermore has the misfortune of being in California, which already has an element named after it, so it gets left out.

Entscheidung: Ja! Nein! Vielleicht?
Dagmar Borchers: Warum wollten Sie mit mir ausgerechnet über das Grübeln sprechen?
ZEIT Campus: Stört Sie das?
Borchers: Es irritiert mich ein bisschen. Warum nicht über das Nachdenken? Grübeln ist ja eher negativ konnotiert. Ein Nachdenken, das sich verfranst, bei dem man nicht vom Fleck kommt.
ZEIT Campus: Entscheidungen zu treffen ist ja auch oft nicht leicht.
Borchers: Das stimmt. Eben genau dann, wenn wir grübeln statt nachdenken: Anstatt zielorientiert die Optionen vor uns auszubreiten, drehen wir uns im Kreis.
