Blinkist’s Post

I had the opportunity to have a long talk with Prof Matthias Lochmann and I was pleasantly impressed by his clarity of concepts on such important issues in #youth football. Those hours were the best Masterclass I have had in the field of #football. I strongly recommend to follow his posts. #fussball #bundesliga #soccer #futbol #science #sport #bigdata

Many thanks to Jean-Paul BERTEMES from Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) for this great interview on how our prediction models for the EURO 2024 are built and what bigger purpose they serve. The interview, in German, allowed me to explain that the development of such prediction models, while extremely nice by themselves especially for me as football fan, also serve the bigger goal of having models that can be useful for issues in medicine or sustainability. Based on our original model for the World Cup 2018 with Andreas Groll, Gunther Schauberger and Hans Van Eetvelde, we have developed the concept of Statistically Enhanced Learning with my PhD student Florian F., Andreas Groll and Stéphane P.A. Bordas (FLSW) which is a general approach to enhance existing Machine Learning algorithms by means of statistically estimated covariates. The general increase in performance is quite significant.

Last week's #JECWorld 2024 in Paris was a complete success! 💪 Together with Christoffer Wand, I was able to experience a great but also exhausting week at the NRW.Global Business trade fair stand. Not only the number but also the quality of the discussions held at the stand were exceptionally good this year. 👍 If you ask me how the conversations were distributed across our business areas, I would estimate the following distribution: ✈ Aviation Tooling / Lay-Up Tools - 40 % 🚁 Leading-Edge Protection for Blades - 20 % 💥 Hybrid-Foam Impact Structures - 15 % 🏎 Racing/Motorsport Applications - 10 % 🌪 Solutions for Wind-Turbine Blades - 10 % 📐 Test Benches / Special Machinery - 5 % Now we are already looking forward to AERO Friedrichshafen 2024 which will take place from 17th to 20th of April. Let's see what the focus of the discussions at our booth there will be - stay tuned! 😉 #composites #tooling #leadingedgeprotection #networking #fichtnerschicht

Finally, German football has decided to approve development and a chance to grow. During the General Assembly of the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga in Frankfurt, 24 of the 36 organized clubs voted for the future involvement of an external strategic partner, as did Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The to be finalized deal could be worth around 1 billion € of financial support in the next 20 years.   My pragmatic and short term conclusion: the German clubs made a step in the right direction - no less, no more. It’s going to be an effort still, to combine the necessity of cherishing and preserving culture and social importance of the game with the demands of growth in a tough, global competition of leagues. But it can be done, that is my conviction, and this topic can be one part of the puzzle.    Upcoming now, the most work will need to be done by the DFL management and board, who I have trust in. We now urgently need to get a partnership done, that grants us the economic space to grow and strengthen the League sustainably over the next 20 years. That deal and its framework need to be negotiated with skill, courage and confidence.   Take care,  Fernando

The "Normal-One" exits the spotlight (for now) Reflecting on Jürgen Klopp's departure, I'm reminded of a key VRH management philosophy: "It's not about how they perceive you when you arrive, but how they feel when you depart." We call it our "Definition-of-Done," a guiding principle that provides an emotional compass in navigating the highs and lows of Premier League football and Business alike, aligning with your values and abilities. Klopp epitomized the artistry of leadership, from knowing every individual's name, including the administrative staff at Liverpool Football Club, to engaging with the community - the fans -, establishing clear guidelines, and adhering to them rigorously. He trusted in evidence-based, data-driven training and team selection, parting ways with those who didn't abide by the rules while steadfastly supporting those who poured their hearts into the game. Moreover, he stayed true to himself, even if it meant dropping the occasional F-bomb (I'm with you, Jürgen). He openly addressed issues like congested schedules to safeguard his players and never shied away from sharing his opinions on political and societal matters. Whether you agreed or not, his stance was clear and reasoned. How do I feel now he's leaving? In my humble opinion, Jürgen Klopp stands as one of, if not the greatest coach of our time, bidding adieu to the stage, albeit temporarily. Here's to hoping we'll witness his return sooner rather than later... and preferably not at FC Bayern München 😋 #Leadership #YouNeverWalkAlone #Football #Soccer #PremierLeague #Klopp #TheNormalOne

The future of road traffic safety will be largely determined by the training and testing of #AD/#ADAS systems with correspondingly high variances in real accident scenarios and driving scenarios. Thomas Unger presented this very well at the #ERSC and presented the corresponding #TASC scenario ecosystem. Many thanks to Verkehrsunfallforschung an der TU Dresden GmbH for promote hundred thousands of urban real traffic scenarios and to the organizers for organizing the event.

Already looking forward a lot to sharing my insights and learnings from the #savedroidICO at FuckUp Nights Frankfurt on February 29th, 2024 at 7pm at ZOOM Club Frankfurt ❗ #bitcoin #ethereum #ico #scamawareness #cryptocurrencies
