Woody Guthrie?s American Song , the second production in UC Berkeley?s Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies Main Stage 2012/13 season, opens November 9 in the Durham Studio Theater on the UC Berkeley campus. The work will enjoy not only a timely production (2012 is Woody?s 100 th birthday year), but a unique and expanded production under the direction of Peter Glazer, the musical?s original creator and director, who?s eager to see the show open up questions of class difference, labor, immigrant rights, and equity for our audiences. The musical premiered in 1988.
?Whenever I see this play, people tell me ?this is so timely.?? Glazer says. ?I think the reason is that Woody sang about such powerful topics that haven?t gone away. The 20s and 30s were one of the most complicated and challenging times in American history. But the issues he dealt with keep recurring. He sang about migrant workers ? many now derogatorily called ?illegal aliens? ? as well as a lack of e ...

Spielend in Bewegung bleiben
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2012/10/31 0:00)

Menschen bewegen sich immer weniger. Fraunhofer-Forscher haben jetzt ein interaktives Lernsystem entwickelt, das auf spielerische Weise zu mehr Bewegung motivieren soll: Eine Sensormatte ist mit einem Aktivitätsmonitor kombiniert. Mit dem System können sich Kinder und Erwachsene fit halten und zu-
gleich Wissen aufbauen. Der Clou: Die Lösung zeichnet die Bewegungsintensität auf und zeigt sie sofort an. Das System wird vom 14. bis 17. November auf der Messe Medica 2012 präsentiert (Halle 10, Stand F05).

Was passiert, wenn ein neues Fahrzeug-Modell in einen Unfall verwickelt wird? Sind die leichteren Autos sicher? Welches neue Material eignet sich am besten, um die Crashsicherheit zu erhöhen? Dies und vieles mehr testen Fraunhofer-Forscher mit Hilfe der Gesamtfahrzeug-Crashanlage. Sie ermöglicht Tests mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 80 Stundenkilometern an Fahrzeugen mit bis zu drei Tonnen Gewicht. Heute erfolgt im baden-württembergischen Efringen-Kirchen der erste Versuch.

Drahtlose Sensornetzwerkeüberwachen Maschinen und Anlagen in Fabriken, Autos oder Kraftwerken. Die Energie, die sie zumÜbertragen der Messwerte brauchen,»ernten«sie immeröfter aus ihrer Umgebung und sind somit autark. Fraunhofer Forscher stellen auf der Messe Electronica 2012 in München einen gedruckten Thermogenerator vor, der zukünftig die Energieversorgung von Sensoren aus Temperaturunterschieden generiert.
