The main idea of the Game of Life is to simulate real-life processes such as birth, survival and death. The discrete model operates on a two-dimensional array of black and white square cells. In this paper, we study the development of patterns in image rotation using different rotation methods. Moreover, the quality of the rotation and the applicability of image rotation to the Game of Life are investigated."},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Merit

would you do if you had one chance to pitch your ideas to key decision-makers? On August 28th, I had the exciting opportunity to visit Neuss with my friend Darian Keßler, after being invited by Standort Niederrhein. This was part of a challenge from Xeem, focused on how to bring more attention to the Niederrhein region. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 Our day started with a warm welcome from the Standort Niederrhein team and Benjamin Ries from Xeem, who walked us through the plan for the day. Darian and I were one of five teams ready to present our ideas, and we would be the last ones to go. As we waited, we took the time to connect with the other students who were also there to share their ideas. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Finally, it was our turn. We stepped into the room and were greeted by a group of representatives from the Standort Niederrhein GmbH and the local IHK. They were interested and eager to hear what we had to say. As we presented, they asked thoughtful questions, and we had a great conversation about our ideas. After the presentations, we shared a meal together, which gave us even more time to network and exchange ideas. The whole day was filled with valuable lessons and great connections. 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 💡 “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰.” It may sound simple, but think about it. The last time you gave a presentation, did you really take time to understand your audience?

On August 28th, I had the exciting opportunity to visit Neuss with my friend Darian Keßler, after being invited by Standort Niederrhein. This was part of a challenge from Xeem, focused on how to bring more attention to the Niederrhein region. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 Our day started with a warm welcome from the Standort Niederrhein team and Benjamin Ries from Xeem, who walked us through the plan for the day. Darian and I were one of five teams ready to present our ideas, and we would be the last ones to go. As we waited, we took the time to connect with the other students who were also there to share their ideas. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Finally, it was our turn. We stepped into the room and were greeted by a group of representatives from the Standort Niederrhein GmbH and the local IHK. They were interested and eager to hear what we had to say. As we presented, they asked thoughtful questions, and we had a great conversation about our ideas. After the presentations, we shared a meal together, which gave us even more time to network and exchange ideas. The whole day was filled with valuable lessons and great connections. 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 💡 “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰.” It may sound simple, but think about it. The last time you gave a presentation, did you really take time to understand your audience? In our case, knowing we were presenting to representatives from the region and the local IHK allowed us to focus on what mattered to them. Had we been presenting to students, our approach would have been different. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned when it comes to presenting?

You can hear me twice: 📅 15:40 pm at the Thought Leader Stage: This will be a great panel about the future of mobility 🛴🚕🚲🚌 with Andreas Knie, Christiane Varga moderated by Christian Cohrs. 👉 Let’s discuss technologies like autonomous driving 🕹️, connectivity or new modes of transportation, like urban air mobility 🚁. 👉 Let‘s talk about the different areas, mobility is not just about cities 🌆 we also need to talk about the suburbs and rural areas 🏡. 👉 Make or break for the transformation are the preferences, requirements and habits of us, the users 🌟 of mobility. Let’s put this in perspective. 👉 What’s the role of the car dealers 🚗 and garages in the future mobility scenarios? Let’s share some setups. —— 📅 17:15 pm at the same stage: keynote about the impact of AI 🤖 on the automotive value chain 👉 Why is it so important 🚨 to get started with AI use cases NOW, also in car dealerships and garages? 👉 What are the different layers behind an AI application that need to be understood? 👉 What are different AI use cases we see in the automotive value chain and what’s the impact 🤷‍♂️? 👉 At @mhp We asked close to 5.000 consumers globally about their perspectives on AI in the vehicles 🚗.

You can hear me twice: 📅 15:40 pm at the Thought Leader Stage: This will be a great panel about the future of mobility 🛴🚕🚲🚌 with Andreas Knie, Christiane Varga moderated by Christian Cohrs. 👉 Let’s discuss technologies like autonomous driving 🕹️, connectivity or new modes of transportation, like urban air mobility 🚁. 👉 Let‘s talk about the different areas, mobility is not just about cities 🌆 we also need to talk about the suburbs and rural areas 🏡. 👉 Make or break for the transformation are the preferences, requirements and habits of us, the users 🌟 of mobility. Let’s put this in perspective. 👉 What’s the role of the car dealers 🚗 and garages in the future mobility scenarios? Let’s share some setups. —— 📅 17:15 pm at the same stage: keynote about the impact of AI 🤖 on the automotive value chain 👉 Why is it so important 🚨 to get started with AI use cases NOW, also in car dealerships and garages? 👉 What are the different layers behind an AI application that need to be understood? 👉 What are different AI use cases we see in the automotive value chain and what’s the impact 🤷‍♂️? 👉 At @mhp We asked close to 5.000 consumers globally about their perspectives on AI in the vehicles 🚗. Happy to share the results and surprises. Let’s discuss how the mobile ecosystem could leverage the results. 👉 Let’s close with the risks of a cost of doing nothing scenario and calls for action.

Dirk Paessler offered a counter question: "Is it even ethical to not do capitalism?" My answer was too long for a comment so I use a new post. --- I don't know a better alternative to capitalism - although its many flaws. To say it with an adaption of Winston Churchill's quote about democracy: "Capitalism is the worst economic system except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time". I am aware that it's because of capitalism that I type these lines on a fancy MacBook sitting in my own house. I would be far worse off without capitalism. Nevertheless, a working child in a sweat shop in Bangladesh would probably answer the question very differently. Same for a refugee fleeing from the outcome of the climate crisis. I tend to answer Dirk's initial question with "no, it wouldn't be ethical to not do capitalism". Wow, did I really write this? Let's stop. I have to think about different types of companies first. UNETHICAL COMPANIES I guess, there are not many companies that act unethical on purpose. What comes to mind are tobacco enterprises hiding studies about health risks of smoking or oil companies inventing the concept of the individual CO2 footprint to distract from their own responsibilities. Very unethical for me are investment banks knowingly selling useless financial products and risking a worldwide financial crisis. Banks involved in Cum-Cum / Cum-Ex I consider as very unethical as well. NOT UNETHICAL COMPANIES Probably most companies try to not act unethical. I think, most companies aim to not exploit their employees and to not do tax fraud. That's already a lot. ETHICS AGNOSTIC COMPANIES This is my name for organizations that just fade out ethics. They are not unethical or even evil per se, ethics is just something that isn't part of the leader's thinking. When they act in an ethical way it might be just a coincidence. Striving for profit is by far the strongest guiding principle of those companies. For this kind of organizations, my hypothesis is that capitalism and ethics are NOT possible at the same time. ETHICAL COMPANIES There are a few companies with the outspoken purpose of acting ethical and advance society and mankind (while making money to be able to implement their purpose). Companies/organizations trying to capture CO2 to fight the climate crisis come to mind. Working for such a company is desirable for some of us (myself included). My (current) conclusion: Capitalism and acting ethical is possible at the same time in general. Nevertheless, I deem it very hard for companies to tame the striving for even more profit or to avoid greed. It might be very hard for those companies to survive and not flip to greed-mode when the world around them is circling around eternal growth and more money. Thanks again for activating my brain cells, Dirk.

This figure shook my consciousness: I suddenly realized that my behavior and decisions had a direct and concrete impact on our planet. Since then, my actions have changed fundamentally. I question every purchasing decision, travel more consciously and pay attention to the cycles in which I operate. Sustainability is no longer an abstract concept for me, but a daily practice that manifests itself in small and big things. I talk to many people around me every day and help them to calculate their own ecological footprint. We all have a responsibility to preserve our precious planet.

State of GenAI Report in Germany 📈Did you know that 78% of German respondents in our study reported increased trust in AI compared to the global average of 72%? 📈 Transparency: Building trust through transparency is a top priority, with organizations prioritizing clear communication about AI goals and impacts. Balancing Integration & Risk: There's a gap in balancing rapid AI integration with risk mitigation. Only 49% of German respondents indicated effective management of this aspect. Regulatory Compliance: Regulatory compliance and misuse of client data are significant risks, with varying efforts to generate trust among companies. Leadership in Transparency: Despite challenges, Germany demonstrates leadership in transparency with employees regarding GenAI goals and impacts, surpassing the global average.

I like the look and feel - I mean, the 90s are back, right? And it's reliable in terms of finding the data you need and ensuring compliance with its out-of-the-box setup. I also like to follow for instance Andreas Hausmann or Lars Böhnke from Candis to see how they try to get the best out of Datev. But… Datev only looks at the individual company, never at a group of companies. This is time consuming and causes problems with data consistency and comparability between these entities. So it is very limited compared to other small ERPs. 🔧 But hey, I found my own way with Maurice Henry Büttgenbach from Daidalus UG: KR Export from DATEV eG🔨 to Snowflake 🏂 and into PowerBI 📈 at very low costs and only limited human resources. These tools are game changers, allowing seamless data transfer and analysis. It's frustrating that DATEV doesn't offer a simpler solution, but with a little creativity and technical know-how, these challenges can be overcome. Cash overview, creditor analysis, Bundesbank reports - all now possible with less effort. Next stop: Integration with our master Data, VESTBERRY and Fundrbird. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with DATEV? I'd love to hear about your experiences and possible solutions. Or do you prefer tools like Lucanet or loyos bi as (good) out-of-the-box solution?

But… Datev only looks at the individual company, never at a group of companies. This is time consuming and causes problems with data consistency and comparability between these entities. So it is very limited compared to other small ERPs. 🔧 But hey, I found my own way with Maurice Henry Büttgenbach from Daidalus UG: KR Export from DATEV eG🔨 to Snowflake 🏂 and into PowerBI 📈 at very low costs and only limited human resources. These tools are game changers, allowing seamless data transfer and analysis. It's frustrating that DATEV doesn't offer a simpler solution, but with a little creativity and technical know-how, these challenges can be overcome. Cash overview, creditor analysis, Bundesbank reports - all now possible with less effort. Next stop: Integration with our master Data, VESTBERRY and Fundrbird. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with DATEV? I'd love to hear about your experiences and possible solutions. Or do you prefer tools like Lucanet or loyos bi as (good) out-of-the-box solution?

It wasn’t the usual conversation about stress; it dove deep into what burnout looks like when it’s lived, and how we, as a society, need to do better. Fabienne opened with a clear breakdown of burnout’s stages, but what hit hardest were Kazia's and 🥙Abdo’s personal stories. They didn’t just describe burnout—they showed us what it feels like. Kazia’s analogy stuck with me: “If your leg is broken, you rest and let it heal. But with mental health, we push through until we completely break.” It made me realize how different we treat mental pain from physical pain—often ignoring it until we’re too far gone. Abdo’s story mirrored this struggle. He was deeply frightened to be seen by his work as "a broken man" who is no longer capable of handling his previous responsibilities. "You are not a broken human if you suffer from mental health issues." But what was most relieving, especially as a people leader, was Fabienne’s candid explanation of who is truly responsible for addressing burnout in organizations. It’s not just on managers or team leaders, but the responsibility of those 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗽. “The responsibility lies with the owners and shareholders because they are the ones making the key decisions. It’s their job to ensure that healthy systems are in place from day one—because healthy is sustainable, and ultimately more profitable. If the CEO doesn’t buy into it, or the shareholders don’t care, nothing will get realized that actually matters.” People leaders can do everything in their power to support their teams, but if the company’s structures and values don’t align with promoting employee well-being, change will never take root. Fabienne also pointed out that companies often treat people like machines, planning workloads as if humans can perform at 100% every day. “We are cyclical creatures,” she said. Some days we perform at our peak, and other days we need rest—it’s simply part of being human. Yet, organizations often don’t account for this natural rhythm. Budgets and capacity plans are created with the assumption that people won’t get sick or need breaks. It’s this kind of thinking that drives burnout. Julia’s moderation let the conversation breathe, creating space for the raw emotions in the room. We didn’t just talk about burnout as a concept—we felt it, and that built a deep sense of empathy. Oliver S.’s BE LIGHT Now GmbH mediation app demo was brilliant, but what touched me most was seeing him later at the train station, quietly handing out leftover food to the homeless. No big announcements—just kindness in action. It was a reminder that compassion should always have a place in our busy lives. #MentalHealth </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" aria-label="27 Reactions" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="27" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/bn39hirwzjqj18ej1fkz55671" height="16px" width="16px"> <img alt data-reaction-type="INTEREST" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/a0e8rff6djeoq8iympcysuqfu" height="16px" width="16px"> <img alt data-reaction-type="APPRECIATION" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/cyfai5zw4nrqhyyhl0p7so58v" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 27 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis before:middot my-1" data-test-id="social-actions__comments" data-id="social-actions__comments" data-num-comments="2" data-singular="%numComments% Comment" data-plural="%numComments% Comments"> 2 Comments </div>  </div> </div>  </div> <div class="base-aside-card__media flex-shrink-0 mr-0.5 overflow-hidden relative rounded-md h-[75px] w-[75px] base-aside-card__media--right"> <img alt="BERlean IN Circle 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 The Lean In evening on burnout at Scout24 SE wasn’t just informative—it was a reality check.
