Sunday 9 August 1998 - prebreakfast TV - ride to Forch - Röstipizza for lunch - ride down the roller slide and the funny elk-light fixtures - train ride home and a ham focaccia for supper

Sunday 9 August 1998

Hi everyone, Hope your week is going well. It is supposed to be cooled down by today. Twenty years ago today I did a quick country train and bus ride around Zürich, after a long day in Zürich itself. Eventually I went back home to München.

Overview

watching Ottifanten and an Otto Waalkes sketch comedy show on TV

shower and breakfast in hotel

check out, walk to Rümlang S Bahn station, lock clothes bag in locker

take S Bahn to Stadelhofen, then S-18 to Esslingen via Forch

take bus from Forch to Uster, and S-Bahn from Uster to Zürich HB

lunch at the Brasserie Johanniter

S-10 train to Üetliberg, walk up to see the Uto Kulm observation area

train to Zürich Selnau, walk back to HB

take train with Sommer Spezial ticket to München Hbf

head home with U-5, U-4 and bus 37 home

arrive home and no one complains (thankfully)

make it to work for the final week And that was the summary of what I did on Sunday, 9th August 1998.

That was some noisy night last night, I am lucky to be back in my comfortable room with no roommates to have to listen to (loud music, snoring and so on), and I have my own TV set.

Breakfast was served until 10 AM at the hotel, so I watched a little TV before going. Since I am still such a big fan of Otto Waalkes since July 1991, I watched an episode of Ottifanten, which are anthropomorphic elephants, the main character voiced by Otto Waalkes himself. Then there was the live action sketch comedy show, with his "English for runaways" inexact English-to-German translations, plus the Kakao sketch.

After seeing Otto on TV, I took a shower, then had breakfast. The breakfast was better than at the hostel, the items were more delicious and the bread rolls were fresh. Well worth the extra 10 CHF I paid. After that I checked out with my clothes bag, and I took my day bag with the remaining sodas for the swig bottle. It was a twenty minute walk to the Rümlang S-Bahn station. My ticket was still valid for Zürich and Rümlang until 12:30 PM but I wanted to out of that zone for the day. In that case, what is the appropriate ticket to buy for all zones of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (Zürich regional rail district)? More likely than not, it would be the 9 AM ticket available daily and for about 18 CHF for all zones, valid only up to the last train of the day, likely just after midnight.

From Rümlang, I took the S-Bahn via Glattbrugg and Oerlikon to Zürich HB, where for 6 CHF I could store the clothes bag away for the day until it would be time to take the train home. I had until 5:15 PM that day to explore the Zürich region. So I thought, why not take the S-18 all the way to Esslingen ZH? To do that, I had to take the S-Bahn from platforms 21 to 24 to Stadelhofen, and change to the S-18 at its own stop near the theater (which on 24 July was playing The Truman Show). In 1998 I did not know about the Tram museum at Burgwies, close to Balgrist, which would be open at 11 AM. That would have been interesting. I made it a point later to visit, and between September 2011 and December 2016 I have since visited twice. Going further, the S-18 ran on the same tracks as the tram line 15 up to Rehalp, and after that, it went on a surface route up to Zumikon-Waltikon and went underground for Zumikon and Maiacher, before coming out of tunnel for Forch. After Forch and up to Esslingen, the train route was mainly single tracked. The day was nice, mid 70s and had interesting scenery, not too hilly. At the end was Esslingen and I had to take a bus, line 842, through Mönchaltorf ZH to Uster. I had been to Uster on 4th of July 1997 but only by accident. That incident was due to the fact that I did not alight the S-Bahn train at Stettbach as I should have. But this time Uster seemed familiar and I knew where I needed to go and where to alight.

The S-Bahn from Uster to Zürich, goes northwest past the Greifensee.and Dübendorf, before it goes into tunnel at Stettbach and emerges at Stadelhofen. Then there is another tunnel section from there to Zürich HB which is platforms 21 to 24. I alighted at Zürich HB and it was time for lunch. I wanted to go back to my favorite restaurant at the time, the Brasserie Johanniter, on Niederdorferstrasse 70. They were not so full as the previous night and they offered me a table outside. I had a Hürlimann 1 Liter, and on the seasonal menu, they were serving Rösti as a pizza. I could order a "quattro stagione" (four seasons) pizza on a bed of the hashbrowns. It was actually quite delicious, too bad I did not take a photo of it. With a full liter of beer, you have to take at least an hour to enjoy it. I think it was about 2 PM that I paid the bill and left for Üetliberg.

In 1998, the SZU, Sihltal-Zürich-Üetlibergbahn used the same platforms as today, but instead of platforms 21 and 22, the platforms were called just 1 and 2 back then. I took the S-10 the entire distance to Üetliberg via Triemli. It was a four-zone journey and my 9 AM ticket covered it with no problem. When I arrived at Üetliberg terminus, I left the train, walked up the steep pedestrian trail to Uto Kulm, and for the first time I saw the most bizarre light fixtures around, namely the Bruno Weber Hirschlampen. These were four lights on the antlers of giant elk. Also there is some planetary display on the trail. The Uto Kulm resort hotel is at the top, and costs around 200 CHF per night, which I could not afford then. The observation platform and tower are still open to the public. From there you can see from north Zürich into the Albisgütli where there is the late summer Knabenschiessen event, and further along Lake Zürich towards Rapperswil SG and Pfäffikon SZ. I had to take about twenty minutes to get a good view of everything and appreciate the many years I had known Zürich (my first visit was 1976 when I was about four).

It was getting close to 4 PM and I had to go back to the rail station. I thought I would have some time to walk from Selnau to the station, it was not a long journey, and being Sunday, the traffic would be light. I arrived about 4:45 PM and searched for some place to buy Victorinox knives but I could only find cheap store-brand replicas. They would have to suffice. I managed to collect my clothes bag, get to the train to München Hbf and board the right train car, as stated on my Sommer-Spezial ticket. My seat was in an open area of the first class compartment and with a window all to myself. At 5.15 PM the train left Zürich HB, I left seeing the Zürich insurance billboard just outside the station, and away it went. I took a few photos here and there, particularly getting close to St. Gallen. There was a bistro wagon going through the cars, and I could not pass up the ham and cheese sandwich on a focaccia-shaped bread roll. The train reached Bregenz about 7:45 PM. That was the only time the border guards were on the train, and the rest of the way it was uneventful. I think I took a nap between Lindau and Buchloe. As you might expect, the electrification did not start until the train passed Geltendorf, which is kind of the imaginary border of Oberbayern and the Ostallgäu. The sky was getting darker and about 9:50 PM the train pulled into München Hbf. There was no point remaining in the station so I headed home, first on the U-5 to Lehel, and caught the U-4 to Arabellapark, then the bus 37 to my apartment in the Freischützstraße. I entered quietly and no one told me off about my alarm clock.

And the next morning? It would be the final week of my Werkstudenttätigkeit, so all loose ends had to be tightened up, and paperwork had to be filled out for end-of-project, and I had to also take care of my apartment rental and last three nights in Paris for Summer 1998 before flying home. And buying this and that. So the next story may not be until Wednesday the 15th August. The 18th August is the "grand finale" of this saga.

Hope you enjoyed so far, Gute Nacht and bonne nuit!

PS Desirée is afraid of the dark, especially when she's in a park… (that was one song I heard repeatedly in Summer 1998, she had "You gotta be" in 1994)

Although it pours, Heloise takes the children and the cat out to the village green for a day of family and prayers. I played this family for 12 days before I fixed my seasons to a much more reasonable 8 days. So these guys had two sundays.

Heloise wastes no time in praising the goddess, and instructing her heir to follow suit.

I need to edit this lot and remove the cross. It doesn’t fit Hadria’s religion too well, but it was the only object I had at the time that sims could pray with.

Yva was sure about the rain but she enjoyed the fresh breeze and smell of fish from the ocean.

Jaleela/Khadija was very unsure about all this religious mojo outside.

Assessing its role with Uster contamination control in yarn production

Profitability is obviously a basic requirement for spinners – so how might they benefit from applying wider economic ideas alongside established ways of improving mill productivity? This article examines contamination-controlled spinning from the viewpoint of one such well-known concept – the Pareto Principle – and assesses its validity in a yarn production environment.

In the late 19th Century, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto made the initial observations on which the Pareto Principle is based. Also known as the 80-20 rule, it suggests that in many cases only 20% of the effort put in will account for 80% of the result. This imbalance between input and output has been used in business to choose priorities and focus on the most effective areas to bring the greatest reward. Although not a hard and fast rule, the Pareto Principle can help to increase productivity and efficiency in industrial settings.

Specifically, it can be applied to determine ‘best practice’ in some elements of spinning when focused on contamination control.

Small effort, big effect

Experienced spinners know that contamination control in the blowroom exactly follows this principle. Correct positioning of the fiber cleaning system – at the point where the fibers are most open – is crucial. Contaminants might otherwise be hidden inside bigger tufts, but not with Uster Jossi Vision Shield at the fiber opening stage.

Uster Jossi Vision Shield is backed by 20 years’ experience. Conventional camera-based systems cannot match its performance. Operating across a much greater wavelength, Uster’s spectroscopes can find contamination even within the ‘invisible’ range of IR and UV light. Fragments of contamination in light pastel colors and white also pose no problem.

The final check

The non-Pareto effect

The second part of the Pareto concept – that the ‘other’ 20% of the results require 80% of the effort, does not actually apply for contamination-controlled yarn production. The principle here is “managing remaining contaminants in yarns at minimum possible cost” – and the solution is Total Contamination Control, which achieves far more than any 20/80 correlation! Total Contamination Control means precisely controlled contamination levels in yarns, with minimum waste as an integrated solution.

Total Contamination Control (TCC) balances ejections in the blowroom along with cuts in winding in the most advanced way. Uster Jossi Vision Shield and Uster Quantum 4.0 are two perfectly linked systems in the production process, minimizing the risk of foreign matter quality issues and focusing on defined quality and profitability.

TCC is an Uster Value module with Quality Expert, which also reveals optimization potential to save costs. Data from Uster Jossi Vision Shield and Uster Quantum 4.0 combined with Uster’s long experience in contamination control, answer the following key questions in practice. What is the right level of contamination removal? How does fiber cleaning and yarn clearing achieve consistent levels of contamination that will satisfy the customer requirements? And how does it prevent waste of good material?

Beyond Pareto

Vilfredo Pareto of course couldn’t know, more than 100 years ago, about Uster’s preventive yarn clearing. This solution follows its own rules: preventive means that there’s no 20% or anything remaining needing extra effort, but there is security. The new combined clearing and enhanced detection modes protect yarn quality, while reducing cuts at the same time.

Furthermore, disturbing defects cannot pass, so that issues in downstream processes are prevented. Upstream, connectivity to Uster’s quality management platform contributes to ‘preventive yarn clearing’. Perhaps preventive yarn clearing could be called a 100/0 rule?

To discuss the Pareto method, or any solution to control contamination effectively, Uster staff will be glad to welcome spinners to their booth at ITME. In Hall 9 visitors will quickly recognize booth C5 from distinctive white and red design. Uster looks forward to being your host at the upcoming show in India.

Nänikon is a minimalist farmhouse located in Uster, Switzerland, designed by Franziska/Sebastian Müller Architects. The residential section of the property, still in robust condition, was preserved in its original form. However, the adjoining barn, having succumbed to dilapidation, required demolition and reconstruction. The reimagined structure now includes three newly developed residential units, an expansion over the original barn’s footprint

things you said when you thought i was asleep + Rulie?

Ray crept down the stairs, smiling as he took in the piles of teenagers sleeping all over his living room floor. The gang had a sleepover as they made plans for the band's first real tour, and he graciously had told them all to camp out here.

Ray should have been asleep himself, but he had woken up thirsty, and without Rose to remind him to bring a cup of water to leave on the nightstand, he was forced down to the kitchen to alleviate that thirst.

Only when he got to the kitchen, Julie was sitting at the counter, head in her hands. "Mija? Why are you awake?" he whispered.

"I could ask the same of you papi," Julie snarked, and went to get him a glass of water knowingly. Ray bit back a smile, Julie knew him so well, but he wished she didn't feel like she had to be the responsible one so often. She was a teenager, she shouldn't be worrying about him, only about grades and boys (and girls, he supposed, since she was bi, but since her long dead crush on Carrie she hadn't mentioned anyone).

"Well that's me solved, what's got you awake?" he asked as he sipped his water.

"Couldn't sleep I guess," Julie said with a shrug.

Ray raised an eyebrow at that. Julie was usually a pretty good sleeper, and this wasn't the first band sleepover, not even the first sanctioned by him, so that wasn't the issue. "What's on your mind?"

"I...I have feelings for someone," Julie said quietly. "Big, romantic ones that kind of snuck up on me. Like I've known them forever, and one day they smiled at me and boom! That was it."

"You worried they won't like you back?" Ray asked, wondering which person slumbering in his living room was the recipient of his daughter's affections.

"Not really?" Julie replied. "They flirt with me often enough, and in a different way than they do with everyone else."

Reggie then. Look, Ray is oblivious, but he's not blind, he can see the way the bassist looks at Julie, notes the softer way he speaks to her, and he had kind of hoped one day Julie would see it. If only to either let the boy down gently or give him a chance.

"But?"

"But what if it messes up the band? Or worse, our friendship?" Julie whined. "I couldn't bear if that happened."

"It won't, I won't let it," comes a sleepy voice from the kitchen doorway. They both turn, and there's Reggie, looking rumpled (and in Julie's mind, adorable) smiling that crooked grin at her. '

"Reggie! How long have you been awake?" Julie says, her voice going all high pitched and nervous, while Ray bites back a smile.

"Pretty much since your dad came downstairs," Reggie replied, running his fingers through his hair. "I heard voices and..."

Ray looked at the both of them, the shy glances, the bitten off smiles, and crept away. Well out of sight anyways, because he wanted to be there if Julie needed a shoulder to cry on should it all go south.

"Julie... you know how I feel about you right?"

"I might, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Reggie chuckled at that. "I adore you Julie Molina. And I'd really like to take you out sometime. Be your boyfriend, if you'd like."

"I'd like that too," Julie answered, almost whisper quiet. "But what about..."

"Look, if the band can survive Luke and Alex's messy messy break up back when we were freshmen, we can survive if anything doesn't work between us right?" Reggie asked.

"Oh my god, I need to hear all the details about that later," Julie replied with a giggle.

"It's a doozy, believe me," Reggie said, and Ray peered around the corner to see he had taken Julie's hands in his own before he darted back out of sight once more. "Look, I can't predict the future Julie. Maybe we'll be together forever. Maybe we'll go on one date and realize we're better off as friends. Fizzle out or break up in spectacular fashion or even grow old and gray together with like three dogs, a kid and a horse."

"Two dogs and you had better teach me how to ride that horse uster," Julie giggled.

Reggie blushed, but nodded enthusiastically. "The point is... I want to try. I don't want to waste my time thinking about the chances I didn't take, just because I was afraid of what would happen."

Julie was quiet at that, and Ray knew where her thoughts were going. Had they known they had so little time with Rose, what could they have done differently? What choices and chances were lost to them because they thought they had more time?

"So what do you say Julie? Wanna go out on a date with me?"

Ray didn't hear Julie respond, but instead the smack of lips, which he guessed was as good as a yes. He grinned, happy for them both. But he was also a dad, and well, he had to be a dad right now.

"Night guys!"

He heard Julie giggle and Reggie sputter as they broke apart, both calling out good night and Ray waiting until he saw they go back to the living room to sleep-curled together, but still, before he went up the stairs.

And he found he didn't have any trouble going back to sleep himself either.
