BlackBerry Unveils Low-Cost Smartphone With Indonesia in Mind
May 15, 2014 May 15, 2014 RISE NETWORKS0 Comment Business, Rise Networks Community Asia, BlackBerry, Foxconn, growth, Indonesia, Loss, Low-Cost Smartphone, market, Product, Rise National Youth Forum, risenetworks.org, Technology, Z3
(By Joe Cochrane)
The smartphone maker BlackBerry unveiled a new model on Tuesday that it has hopes of bringing to emerging markets in Asia and South America.
The phone, the BlackBerry Z3, will at first be available exclusively for Indonesia, one of its largest markets. John S. Chen, the chief executive of the struggling company, said it was a step toward one of the biggest parts of his job: to make the BlackBerry brand cool again.
"BlackBerry has new technology and is financially stable," he said on Tuesday after an event here to announce the new phone. "I think that's got to be the first step — to explain that."
"When people have no concerns about BlackBerry the company," he added, "then the product will be cool again."
BlackBerry has struggled in recent years, as its business in the crucial American market collapsed. The company posted a loss of $5.9 billion for its last fiscal year.
In 2012, Thorsten Heins was appointed chief executive with a mandate to turn the company around. He left late last year as a takeover bid for BlackBerry fell apart. Mr. Chen took the reins and said this year that he planned to focus on the company's smaller software and services business, though he added that BlackBerry would still sell phones.
Mr. Chen denied that the low-cost Z3 touch-screen model was a last-ditch effort to remain relevant in the industry.
"If this device allows them to grow again, even if it's just small, steady growth, that's a success in itself," said Ryan Lai, a market analyst at the consulting firm IDC, Reuters reported. "That says there is still room for BlackBerry in Indonesia."
BlackBerry produced the Z3 in partnership with the Foxconn Technology Group of Taiwan. Mr. Chen said that the partnership with Foxconn, which manufactures the Z3, had given BlackBerry the ability to compete in emerging markets, and that, if sales went well, "it could be a sign of things to come."
For its part, Foxconn is considering investing at least $1 billion in Indonesia to build manufacturing plants that would produce smartphones and other electronic devices.
BlackBerry plans to sell the Z3 in six other Asian markets, including India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, and is hoping for unit sales "in the millions" across the region.
In Indonesia, the phone will retail for 2.2 million rupiah, or about $190. The words "Jakarta Edition" will be engraved on the backs of a limited run of 25,000 units.
The Z3 Jakarta Edition will go on sale in the capital on Thursday through authorized sellers, and as on many debut days for new phone models, lines are expected to be long.
The phone has several special applications for Indonesian users, including local banking and travel services, and, in the world's largest Muslim-majority country, a directory of halal food. The Z3 operates in the Indonesian national language as well as many regional dialects, including Javanese.

The next RS show I have tickets to is a month from tonight. It will be my 11th RS concert (my fifth since March 2015, there was a 15-year hiatus before that). I rarely watch movies more than once ("The Wizard of Oz" and "Grease" being among the exceptions) or read books more than once, but when it comes to RS, I just can't seem to resist attempting to get there if it's somewhat financially in reach. I've gone to Vegas for shows, but beyond that I've stayed within state lines.
Anyway, I'm sure I'm not alone in my countdown-to-a-show mentality. But thinking about that got me to thinking about how different it must be for the person on the other end – in this case, RS. Since he does so many shows a year, is each one just another "day at the office" for him?
Does it become routine to wake up, go the airport, hope to avoid the TMZ crew, go through the TSA checkpoint, perhaps sign a few autographs or snap a couple pictures with those who recognize him/are brave enough to approach him, fly across the country, do a radio interview, do the soundcheck, sign autographs/take photos, hear words of adoration from women unable to speak in complete sentences around him (or was that just me?), do the show, do the meet and greet, sign more autographs/take more photos, hear more words of adoration from incoherent fans (I think I mumbled something, but not sure what) have a drink/late-night dinner, go to sleep, and the next day do it all again?
Checking the magazine stand at the neighborhood drugstore to see if the current issue of Tiger Beat, 16 Magazine or Bop was there so I could add another Rick Springfield poster to my wall.
Taking numerous babysitting jobs for families who had cable so I could watch MTV once the kids were in bed in hopes that a Rick Springfield video would come on.
Camping out overnight in line at the local mall with friends to buy tickets for a Rick Springfield concert.
Locking my bedroom door with a "Taping" sign taped outside then listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown with a microphone plugged into a cassette tape recorder, ready to tape certain songs off the radio.
Hoping to meet RS after the concert, waiting for a glimpse after the house lights come on but after watching "Live and Kickin'" realizing that he was likely whisked away in a limo right after the encore and feeling incredibly disappointed.
Finding videos and interviews online that I can watch at home whenever I want.
Finding many RS songs from his past 17 albums online and listen to them at any time; and usually finding the lyrics, too.
Waiting for concert tickets to go on sale then buy them at my computer the second they go on sale and print them out – with the whole process taking less than five minutes.
Having the opportunity to purchase a sound check pass before the show or a meet and greet opportunity after the show.
Keeping up with his life on a daily basis – at least his touring/acting life – through Facebook, Twitter and online interviews.
Watching him perform live in concert at a venue across the country nearly every night of his tour – both through a live-stream on his Facebook page and through concert-attendees' phones via Periscope.
How about a 3D live-stream concert?

Stockholm, Sweden – Johan Celsing's crematorium for Woodland Cemetery
1 April, 2010By Rasmus Wærn
Johan Celsing's 'stone in the forest' treads carefully in the Woodland Cemetery
When the ancient habit of burning corpses instead of burying them was struggling for a renaissance a century ago, Swedish enthusiasts (yes, there were such) turned to young and progressive architects to create the buildings for this newly revived ceremony. With Torsten Stubelius, Sigurd Lewerentz devised an exemplary proposal that became the starting point for Lewerentz's and Erik Gunnar Asplund's collaboration on the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm. This masterpiece of spiritual architecture and landscape is to be augmented with a new building, for which a limited invited competition has just been settled.
The problems of dignifying the technical processes of cremation have not diminished. In fact, they have grown.
The new building is intended to be a small but efficient plant where hundreds of thousands of Stockholmers will melt into air, with a tiny corner for mourners to follow the process.
The new rite makes the entire edifice sanctified and, apart from the historically charged setting, this is what makes the task so fascinating.
The notion of what sort of building might stage and dignify these rituals was very open, as the city turned to such different minds as Bjarke Ingels, Tadao Ando, Caruso St John, White Architects and Johan Celsing for an answer. It was Celsing, in collaboration with landscape architect Müller Illien, who won the day with a modest, almost camouflaged, brick block, described as a 'stone in the forest'. The fallout from the competition for the ill-starred extension of Asplund's City Library (AR January 2010) hung heavily over proceedings. This one must not fail.
The site is on a safe distance from Asplund's and Lewerentz's temples. And even if every other submission proposed more intricate spatial arrangements and most were more sculpturally expressive, Celsing's monolith does have the possibility of being the solid 'stone in the forest' it wants to be. It has the same simple, unaffected spirit as the brick buildings of Erwin Heerich at the Insel Hombroich art campus in Germany.
However, the jury rejected the concept of serene daylight that characterised proposals from Ando, Caruso St John and even Bjarke Ingels. Like his father Peter, Johan Celsing favours strong contrasts in light and shadow. But there are wonderful examples of simple, even brutal, Swedish crematoriums where the daylight soars in thin air. Compared to these, Celsing's proposal has still a bit to go. But if the stone gets its sacred space, the winner will also be a victor.

Steelite International were proud to be involved in the official opening of the new Hospitality & Catering and Hairdressing facilities in Stoke on Trent College's new Lifestyle building Tuesday 22nd September 2009.
Steelite International is working closely with the Hospitality and Catering team offering students training in the history of hotel ware, manufacturing methods and the importance of tabletop presentations to the whole dining experience.
Kevin Oakes, CEO Steelite International said: "We are delighted to be working with Stoke on Trent College on such a pioneering project. As the UK's leading supplier to the global hospitality sector, Steelite International fully understands the importance of providing the next generation of chefs and caterers with quality training and education. Stoke on Trent College has achieved this with the fantastic facilities in the Lifestyle Building. Students experience first hand the excitement and challenges of the professional kitchen developing menus and food presentations to be enjoyed by paying customers.


The new addition unlocks guaranteed discounts from hundreds of thousands of participating hotels for travellers who book a flight or package (flight and hotel) on Expedia.co.th and come back to book a hotel up until the day of their departure. On average, Thai travellers can secure up to 51 per cent off the cost of their hotel purchase.
Expedia has long encouraged travellers to bundle their flight and hotel in a package for maximum savings due to the deep discounts offered by valued lodging partners. In a research commissioned by Expedia earlier this year, Thai travellers ranked number one as the most frequent fliers, with an average of 10.1 flights taken in a year. The research also indicates that only 36 per cent of Thais would bundle their flight and hotel with 37 per cent booking their flight first and then a hotel, missing out on potential savings by not bundling them together. The Expedia Add-On Advantage offers travellers a way to bundle and save, which the company believes will attract savvy travellers requiring more time and flexibility to book their trip.
At a media event held in Bangkok, Simon Fiquet, general manager of Southeast Asia and India at Brand Expedia said: "We put great emphasis in research and consumer studies to truly understand our travellers' behaviours and needs. Our objective is to make travel easier, more accessible, seamless and enjoyable for people to research and book. The launch of the Expedia Add-On Advantage is another example of how we are listening to our travellers and helping to bring their next trip within reach.

Each year, the Southern Foodways Alliance celebrates men and women whose lifework enriches Southern food culture. Five SFA awards and honors recognize these cultural standard bearers.
2015 John Egerton Prize Winner: Lora Smith, Appalachian Food Summit
Appalachian Food Summit, 2015 John Egerton Prize Winner
Each year, the SFA awards the John Egerton Prize to artists, writers, scholars, and others, whose work addresses issues of race, class, gender, and social and environmental justice, through the lens of food. John Egerton passed away in November 2013, but his work and spirit continue to inspire the SFA.
The 2015 John Egerton Prize was awarded at the 18th Southern Foodways Symposium, held October 15-18, 2015, at the University of Mississippi. The Egerton winner this year was Lora Smith, on behalf of the Appalachian Food Summit (AFS.) Ronni Lundy, an SFA founder and also a founder of the AFS, wrote this appreciation:
The AFS facilitates conversations among contemporary Appalachian farmers, scholars, writers, chefs, producers and just plain interested parties to see how such traditions can become part of diversified local economies. Summit members are equally committed to revealing and telling the diverse histories of the people through the lens of food. They also cook great victuals and tell wonderful stories while eating them.
This mix of activism and celebration would have been right up the late John Egerton's alley and that is why Lora Smith, one of the original volunteers who brought the AFS to life, was chosen this year to accept the John Egerton Prize on behalf of the Appalachian Food Summit. Lora is a stellar writer, community organizer, scholar, and farmer in the region.

When a party accused of patent infringement responds by seeking a declaratory judgment that the patent is invalid or not infringed, the nominal status of the parties is reversed: The patentee (who would have been the plaintiff in any traditional suit) becomes the declaratory judgment defendant, while the accused infringer becomes the plaintiff. When, if ever, does this shift the burden to prove that a product does not infringe a patent? Prof. Gregory Dolin of the University of Baltimore School of Law discussed these issues and the oral argument in Medtronic v. Boston Scientific.

Operation Allies Refuge: Help For Our Brave Afghan Interpreters To Begin
Afghans Who Helped US Will Not Be Left Behind
by Guest Post | Jul 23, 2021 | Foreign News, Media
By A.J. Kaufman operation allies refuge
Just over a month ago, I bemoaned what could happen to some of our most important allies in the past two decades if we didn't act fast. So I was pleased to hear this week of progress in assisting those who risked their lives to help the United States during the Global War on Terror.
Realizing Afghans who served as translators alongside Americans in theater now face threats from the Taliban as U.S troops leave, the House voted this week to expand the Special Immigrant Visa program (SIV) to allow quicker emigration for the Afghans who supported the U.S. War effort.
The bill would nearly double the number of available SIVs for Afghans — to 20,000 from 11,000 — and broaden those who are eligible for them. In the House, the legislation passed 407-16 and was spearheaded by Rep.Jason Crow (D-CO), a former Army Ranger.
"They will be killed if we don't get them out of there," Texas Rep. Michael McCaul said. "Please, Mr. President, get them out before they are killed."
Afghan nationals who aided the war effort will be temporarily housed at an Army base in Virginia while their visas await final approval. Fort Lee will briefly host up to 2,500 interpreters and their families who've completed the security vetting process. The Military hopes the effort to start relocating those individuals and their families out of Afghanistan before the end of July.
Unfortunately, "Operation Allies Refuge" faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where there is bipartisan support for the visa program. Still, funding for its expansion has been embroiled in the broader fight about spending.
The Biden administration has also been considering housing the applicants outside of Afghanistan — either in central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, or Guam — before they come here.
Since Joe Biden announced the American military was leaving Afghanistan 100 days ago, the Taliban has seized half of Afghanistan's 421 districts and took any momentum over Afghan military forces.
Gen. Mark Milley echoed harrowing reports from the ground in Afghanistan.
"There's a possibility of a complete Taliban takeover, or the possibility of any number of other scenarios," the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said, emphasizing how perilous the situation will be once the Taliban conquers more territory.
Even mainstream media reports concerns about the country becoming a safe haven for the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.
Sadly, this tragedy was all too predictable.
Counter to isolationists' and anti-war radicals' claims, our combat role in Afghanistan ended back in 2014. Thankfully, no U.S. combat deaths have occurred in 18 months. By comparison, there have been more than 1,100 homicides in Chicago since February 2020.
The highly skilled troops were supporting the Afghans fighting our enemies; we are not "nation-building." The goal is to make certain Afghanistan doesn't have a government that plots attacks on America and the West.

Q: How to add a custom array to a polydata in paraview? I know that I can use the Calculator filter for operations on arrays, but I want to perform some more complicated computations. I managed to do it in Paraview python shell, but the missing step now is to go back to the viewer again (or save the new polydata to file).
Here is what I have so far:
polydata = servermanager.Fetch(FindSource("mydataalreadyopeninparaview"))
region_size = paraview.vtk.vtkIntArray()
region_size.SetNumberOfComponents(0)
region_size.SetName("regionsize")
for i in range(polydata .GetNumberOfPoints()):
   region_size.InsertNextValue(somecomputedvalue)
polydata.GetPointData().AddArray(region_size)

How can I "import" in the paraview pipeline my newly created data?

A: Better approach would be use the Programmable Filter to add the array to your input dataset. In ParaView 4.1, the following script can be added to the Script on Properties panel for the Programmager Filter
polydata = output
array = vtk.vtkIntArray()
array.SetNumberOfComponents(0)
array.SetName("regionsize")
for i in range(polydata .GetNumberOfPoints()):
    array.InsertNextValue(somecomputedvalue)
polydata.GetPointData().AddArray(array);

A: The method which works better with the pipeline is using a programmable filter. (related: Paraview Python -- Reverse operation to servermanager.Fetch()? )
For saving the new polydata to file:
(discovered thanks to http://markmail.org/message/4kp7cxl2ani25cak when importing all ctk modules)
from paraview.vtk.vtkIOLegacy import *
writer = vtkPolyDataWriter()
.....

A more "rough" method is to export the data as csv using numpy.savetxt , then reading the csv and apply the TableToPoints filter or Python scripting.
It could be possible to use TrivialProducer and GetClientSideObject  when client and server share the same memory space (with the builtin server) as explained here http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2011-February/020120.html , but I haven't tried it

Home Local News Ancient harbor bath, imperial salon in Izmir waiting to be rescued
Ancient harbor bath, imperial salon in Izmir waiting to be rescued
An archeological site consisting of a harbor bath and an imperial salon from Roman times in the Aegean province of Izmir is waiting to be rescued after it submerged in flood waters. Archeologists say the water must be discharged from the site before it gets irretrievably damaged.
"The water that is filling the site needs to be discharged as soon as possible. Moreover, the site must also be protected against rain and weather conditions," said Ahmet Uhri, a faculty member at Izmir's Dokuz Eylul University's archeology department.
"As I have seen from the photos, the ancient remains are valuable and unique. So, the artifacts in this site need to be protected attentively," said another archeologist, Nezih Basgelen.
The General Directorate for Foundations, which owns the land where the ancient artifacts sit, has released a statement saying that they are waiting for an expert report to initiate the relevant dewatering process.
"For the [ancient] structure, which is already below the sea level, not to be damaged further, regarding the elimination of groundwater, we are waiting for a report to be prepared by the experts of universities' geotechnics, hydraulics, and archaeology departments, and in line with the [relevant] report as well as the [Cultural] Protection Board, the works will be launched," the directorate's statement said.
The remains of the historical artifacts were discovered in 2016 when a firm demolished a 120-year-old business center in the Konak district in a bid to replace it with a newer center. Following the discovery, the construction was immediately stopped.
The Izmir Directorate of Museums under the Culture and Tourism Ministry then performed a salvage excavation on the site. During the excavation works, an ancient harbor bath, an imperial salon, shops and storage spaces from the second century were unearthed.
Upon the completion of excavations, the works of the teams were put into a report, which was then conveyed to the Izmir Board of Cultural Protection with the proposition of classifying the archeological site as first degree.
On Oct. 3, the board ruled that the artifacts have a complex structure, display a period's socio-cultural life and thus must be regarded as a "strict preservation zone." The board stressed that the site's status will be reassessed after the groundwater is discharged.
Yet, with time, the groundwater coupled with the rainwater flooded the "strict preservation zone," with the lack of protection measures to secure the archeological site raising eyebrows and archeologists calling for an immediate action.

QSC Supports NAMM's TEC Tracks Sessions
QSC TouchMix Mixers and K and KW Series Loudspeakers Chosen for Sound Reinforcement
Matt Gallagher ⋅ Feb 25, 2016

TEC Tracks sessions were introduced at this year's Winter NAMM Show, where thousands of audio industry professionals gather each year. The sessions were held throughout the day for four days in three different rooms, and featured panel style tracks, roundtable discussions, Q&A segments and musical performances. The entire sound system for the TEC Tracks sessions was designed using QSC TouchMix Series Compact Digital Mixers as well as K Series and KW Series loudspeakers.
"For TEC Tracks, my job was to design the sound systems to ensure that everything sounded great, especially for an event of this kind held for pros in the audio industry," says audio supervisor Mark Frink. Frink and his team used TouchMix Digital Compact mixers and a pair of KW 122s for each session room. For the large room, they also used a pair of K10s in the back for coverage, and another K10 as a floor monitor for performers.
Among the most notable sessions was a panel moderated by Mr. Bonzai featuring producer/engineer Bill Szymczyk and Joe Walsh of the Eagles in an exploration of the inception and creation of the band's 1976 album Hotel California. In addition to having to meet the critical listening standards of such audio pros on the panels and in the audience, the challenge for Frink was in designing a system that could be used easily by the convention services staff.
"TouchMix made this whole thing work for us," Frink says. "As we did not know how skilled each operator would be in each of rooms, I was able to design the sound for each room, spend a little time in each adjusting the EQ, and then it was set. All the operators had to do was turn the channel on and off. TouchMix is a great product because it straddles the genre; it is a pro mixing board good enough for a professional project of any size, and it's still easy for anyone to use. It is a different product than we have ever seen before in this industry."
The new sound system for TEC Tracks turned out so well that, according to Frink, "At the end of the show, the convention services company told me that the TEC Tracks worked out so well they felt a need to upgrade their own equipment for the future—and they were, of course, very interested in TouchMix and K Series."

Cynthia is 56 and came to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission for the first time in December 2007. "I was broken and had lost both my parents," Cynthia said. She had just $27 in her pocket and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find a place to eat, shower and sleep. She discovered all of these things at the Rescue Mission along with unexpected love. Cynthia secured employment and a place to live, but these came to an end and she returned to the Mission in 2011.
Cynthia said that she was referred to as "stupid, slow and ignorant" throughout her life, but she enrolled in college at Santa Barbara City College and was diagnosed with dyslexia. "It's not a disease but a different ingredient to put in my recipe of life," she quips. Cynthia just completed her first year of college with a 4.0 GPA.
Cynthia is a source of encouragement to the other Rescue Mission guests as she attends college and shares her perspective on their collective circumstances. "I tell the women that we are all books and we are all bestsellers. We are on different chapters, but when people open these books they don't want to deal with this chapter. They close the book and put us in a yard sale for 25 cents. But that's okay because sooner or later someone will pay 25 cents, open up the book, and find out we are priceless."
Carl McQueen walked a path he calls "Entertaining Angels" on his way to Santa Barbara.
Carl is a soft-spoken man who often refers to his faith as he talks. Born in Louisiana, his Baptist grandparents were adamant about him going to church. But they also taught him that he would have personal experiences that would show him that something higher than himself exists.
Indeed, when he was in San Diego in May, he had a personal crisis and through it, heard the call to leave that city and walk to Santa Barbara. And he did. He says he saw beautiful things along the way that would be missed by car or train, and he had experiences that proved the truth of his grandparents' teaching. He arrived at Easter time, after entertaining angels along the way.
Shortly after he arrived at the Rescue Mission, Carl became a volunteer. He says he always tries to be cordial and practice the spiritual gifts of patience, faith, and kindness. He likes having a schedule and responsibilities. He says he sleeps better at night knowing he has helped people.
Carl recently received news that his serious vision problem cannot be cured. Despite this devastating news, he is looking ahead, trusting that this most recent roadblock can be overcome with faith in the grace of God.
Sheila lived in southern California taking care of her father until he passed away. The family sold his home, and she found herself without a place to live. She became lonely and moved to Santa Barbara in 2010 to live close to her son and daughter. Sheila came here with the hope of securing a good job and a place to live. Unfortunately, she experienced great difficulty finding work and sought shelter at the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. Her children were in college and she didn't want to burden them. "If the Mission wasn't here I don't know what I would have done," Sheila remembers.
At one point, Sheila did find work as a live-in housekeeper, but it did not last long and she returned to the Rescue Mission. Although the job was short-lived, she discovered how much she enjoys housekeeping and helps out by contributing daily with laundry service at the Mission. Sheila is 60 and looking toward her future. She shares, "I'm not hopeless –– I know I'm going to make it."

Mobile Robot Revolutionizes Semiconductor Manufacturing Process
Les lecteurs de codes-barres fixes répondent facilement aux besoins des applications de fabrication et de logistique complexes et à haut rendement.
The performance of semiconductors dictates the pace of innovation. This applies just as much to industrial automation as to digital communication via cell phones, laptops, smart building technology, and the automobile industry. The market is continuing to grow. In 2018, the international semiconductor industry achieved $481 billion in sales revenue and this figure is set to reach $525 billion as early as 2022 according to a study by PwC.
The robotics industry is also taking advantage of this trend, as, for example, the latest generation of controls and controllers offer greater functionality than in the past. Conversely, however, the innovative capacity of robot manufacturers is also accelerating the efficiency and productivity of microprocessor manufacturers.
For example: KUKA offers a wide range of extremely flexible robots that can also be quickly tailored to a variety of handling requirements, as the life cycle of semiconductors is short, and the market is correspondingly volatile.
Mobile handling system for cleanrooms
Using robotics, individual production steps can be easily automated, and to a high-quality standard. However, up until now, robotics has not been used for transporting semiconductor substrates (wafers) from one workstation to the next. Ideally, semiconductor manufacturers would prefer end-to-end automation, because pristine cleanroom conditions can be much better achieved with "unmanned production." Until now, however, this aspect of the process was untenable due to the lack of precision with which mobile robots move and grasp.
KUKA recently developed the world's first single-source solution for the automated transport and handling of semiconductor cassettes: the "Semi Mobility Solution". In this example, a lightweight robot from the LBR iiwa series is mounted on a KMR 200 CR autonomous automated guided vehicle (AGV). The AGV can maneuver in the smallest of spaces and KUKA's engineers have developed a sophisticated gripper system for material handling.
System solution: AGV plus robot arm plus gripper
The Semi Mobility Solution goes to a handover point where wafer transport boxes are located. When the AGV has reached its destination, the robot arm is in place to precisely determine its position with the help of an integrated image processing sensor and performs a fine calibration.
This moves the robot into the position to grasp the transport box with a high degree of accuracy and deposit the sensitive wafers without any vibrations in a storage space on the AGV platform. Using this approach, the robot can pick up and transport two different sizes of boxes for wafers with a diameter of 200 or 300 mm. Once it has reached its destination, the robot puts down the transport boxes on the respective processing line.
The Semi Mobility Solution selects locations in the room using a database of stored destinations but chooses the route there itself. The navigational capacity of the LBR iiwa platform enables it to move autonomously in a safe and sensitive way. Environment tracking is supported by laser scanners. They perceive the environment in real time, thus preventing collisions.
The safety-oriented environment recognition also creates the preconditions for being able to use the platform as a cobot (collaborative robot) without a safety fence near the operators. The gripping process itself is guided by image processing. Extremely high precision and reliability are essential in this process because the wafers are sensitive. Vibrations must be avoided.
Image processing: High-performance in a compact space
When selecting the image processing system to guide the robot, KUKA's developers chose Cognex's In-Sight 2000 sensors. These sensors combine the performance of image processing systems with the ease and low cost of an industrial sensor. They also offer maximum flexibility when mounting in space constrained environments. This attribute was highly desired in this application because the IP sensor travels on the robot arm. Minimizing wiring requirements was also a key criterion and the In-Sight 2000 provided easy integration via Ethernet and PoE connections, which was another factor behind the decision.
In addition, KUKA's engineers appreciate the fact that with In-Sight 2000 the logic circuit is integrated into the device and the image processing quite simply lets itself be taught. Ralf Ziegler, Business Development Manager Electronics at KUKA: "The extensive communication possibilities that the sensor offers, its 'built-in' intelligence and the good programmability are also advantageous."
Another advantage for the In-Sight 2000: The In-Sight 2000's patent-pending integrated LED lighting provides uniform illumination over the whole image, regardless of the prevailing lighting conditions. This is particularly important in mobile applications because there is not the same lighting everywhere and even the time of day or the season can affect the image quality.
In practice: IP-controlled fine positioning over the last few centimeters
In practice, the Semi Mobility Solution first drives the robot gripper up to the transport box. At this point, the image processing is activated. It recognizes the offset from the destination point stored in the control system and on this basis references the position of the gripper, which can subsequently grasp the respective transport box with the required high degree of millimetric precision. An integrated calibration function guarantees consistently accurate positioning.
KUKA has already delivered the first Semi Mobility Solutions to international semiconductor manufacturers. The mobile robots work under cleanroom conditions and are certified in accordance with ISO Class 3 (IPA), UL 1740 and UL 1998. They can also be used in a fleet and, using Cognex's state-of-the-are image processing, grasp the boxes with the highly sensitive wafers both reliably and accurately. This innovative solution marks an important automation step in the microprocessor production chain.
Tried-and-tested cooperation between KUKA and Cognex
Cognex supported KUKA during the development of the Semi Mobility Solution through the choice of the sensor, as well as providing global end user support.
Supplying the In-Sight 2000 for the Semi Mobility Solution is not the first collaboration between KUKA and Cognex. Cognex's sensor and camera systems are also used in the high-performance "KUKA.VisionTech" solutions for image processing algorithms that KUKA has developed. For example, they enable reliable quality or completeness checks to be made on components even in unstructured environments.
KUKA appreciates working with Cognex not only for the high-performance products and solutions but also because of their straightforward collaboration and global presence. Ralf Ziegler: "With our partner Cognex, we can offer our clients and integrators good solutions and comprehensive support all around the world. If spare parts are needed, Cognex can supply our clients and integrators within a very short space of time."

Geraint Thomas on the benefits and fears of four Ineos leaders at Tour de France
By Stephen Farrand published 24 June 21
'We can't get carried away and try to protect four riders' says 2018 winner
Geraint Thomas of Ineos Grenadiers celebrates stage 5 win at 2021 Critérium du Dauphiné (Image credit: Getty Images)
The four Ineos Grenadiers team leaders at the Tour de France spoke one after the other on Thursday afternoon during their final video press conference in Brest, with Geraint Thomas followed by Richard Carapaz, Riche Porte, and Tao Geoghegan Hart.
Asked if the running order was also the order of leadership within the team, Thomas was happy to provide a firm "yes", showing his usual deadpan sense of humour, but he also hinted at his determination to emerge as team leader as he tries to win the Tour de France for a second time.
The Ineos tacticians will hope that their combined strength can be enough to take on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) in this year's Tour.
Thomas has the advantage of the 58km of time trials and has worked hard to be at his best in the mountains to emerge as team leader and so fight for a second Tour victory. Carapaz is in superb form after winning the Tour de Suisse and could take over as team leader if Thomas struggles, while Porte and Geoghegan Hart are perhaps talented reserves and ready to step up if needed.
Ineos Grenadiers reveal powerful Tour de France line-up but avoid nominating team leaders
Geraint Thomas hoping time trials can give him an advantage in Tour de France GC battle
Analysing Ineos Grenadiers' 2021 Tour de France team
Thomas took over team leadership from Chris Froome to win the 2018 Tour in a similar way but then had to pass leadership to Egan Bernal when the Colombian won in 2019.
Before the racing begins in Brittany, before crashes and intense racing cause time losses somewhere during the three weeks, Thomas is happy to be on what he described as a "level playing field" of Ineos leadership.
"There are four guys who potentially can be up there and that's great. It gives us cards to play later on," he said before also highlighting the intrinsic dangers of the same strategy.
"At the same time we can't get carried away and try to protect four riders. That would be impossible and would take too much out of the other four in the first week. But if we can all be in touching distance, then it can be a great strength. But as we all know, that won't be the case. Something will happen to somebody as it always does.
"Starting with such a strong team is a great position to be in. Communication is the main thing. The good thing is that there's no ego in this team. That's why we've performed as well as we have so far this season."
Thomas won the Tour de Romandie in late April and was third at the Critérium du Dauphiné after a crash and helping Porte secure overall victory. He was not dominant in the mountain stages but now appears on track and on form ready to take on Pogačar and Roglič in a three-way battle of Grand Tour winners and their super teams.
He seems to have learned his lesson from overindulging after his 2018 win and missing out on a Tour de France selection in 2020.
"Last year it was a big disappointment missing the Tour and then crashing out of the Giro after three days. This season started better. I've been enjoying racing and we've been consistently up there in the results," he said.
"I think I was in good shape for the Tour in 2019 and I had great shape in the Giro but I didn't get to show that. I've just been enjoying it this year."
Veteran assessment of race
Pogačar will start just his second Tour this year, while Roglič is riding his fourth. Thomas will start his 11th after making his debut back in 2007 in London. He is hoping age and experience can overcome Pogačar's youth and Roglič's neophyte enthusiasm, and help him secure a new contract with Ineos for beyond 2021.
"I think it will help. I hope the experience will give me a slight edge. This is my 11th start in the Tour. I have that experience behind me, as we do as a team," Thomas said.
"We've got a strong team. As I said, I think the main thing is good communication. As long as we continue that I think we can be in a very strong position."
Thomas is aware he will need all his skill set for the opening stages in Brittany and is slightly concerned that those early stages could cost someone a chance of overall victory.
"It's going to be a hard first week for sure. It's always chaotic, always stressful at the Tour," he predicted. "I think the first TT will be big too. There are differences in mountains but there are bigger gaps in TTs than between the pure climbers and the better time trialists.
"The Breton stages are up and down, left and right. There's a lot going on and there could be a bit of rain that will add to it all. The two stage finishes are tough and there could be wind too.
"It'll be a chaotic first week and it certainly will be hard. Even if gaps are not there, there will be guys who have used up a lot of mental and physical energy and that will affect everyone coming into the final week."

Learning the sport of archery is a great hobby for children, especially children diagnosed with ADHD . While the symptoms of ADHD can make archery difficult, children can use it to battle their weaknesses and learn focus, strength, and accuracy.
The following five products can help a young person with ADHD learn archery and minimize their own symptoms while shooting arrows.
When children first start shooting, they are usually treated with lightweight bows that are easier to handle. Since children who have ADHD are often known to have weaker muscles, supplying them with a weighted bow can help build muscles and strength.
With weekly or daily use, this strength will build up until the bow can be held without any problems. Additional strength can be built up by using heavier bows when the child advances through different skill levels. If your child's arm is aching, it's OK to alternate to a lighter bow temporarily.
Focusing on a target can be a challenge for anyone with ADHD, so one of the best ways to help your child focus is by using an archery scope. These scopes feature target lines so that the center of the target can be positioned with the arrow.
Using the scope will help maintain a focus until the child adapts and can use the bow on its own. Along with traditional scopes, laser scopes feature small lights that can offer even more accuracy and focus.
Shooting and missing on a small target can become frustrating. A child that has ADHD can quickly use interest if they are not succeeding. This is where larger targets come in, because these targets are easier to hit and can help build confidence with the child.
The larger target is a better option than moving a child closer to a smaller target. This will still build up the arm strength and improve accuracy over time.
Along with the larger targets, you can find designs that include minimal colors. Too many colors can be a distraction to a child, so targets with black and white designs may be easier to focus on.
Holding a tight bow is challenging as a child tries to maintain a tight grip. To help have more success with bow grips, it's a good idea to install a bow sling. The sling can prevent drops, allows children to have a softer grip, and can relax their body instead of being too tense.
Bow slings come in a variety of styles and materials. For example, para-cord material is durable, stretches, and can easily fit to any size bow. When you purchase the sling, it can be fitted directly to the hand of your child.
Loud and sudden noises can easily become a distraction for people with ADHD. Reducing as much noise as possible can help your child have the most success with archery practice. One of the best ways to reduce noise is with a string stop. String stops prevent the loud noises from occurring when the arrow is released from the bow.
Not only does the noise get reduced from the bow, but the vibrations of the bow will stop too. When shopping for string stops, there are a variety of designs and styles to choose from. You can select neutral colors like black or gray that will be less distracting for a child. You can also select a variety of your child's favorite colors like red, yellow, and blue.
Take your time to pick out archery products at places like Wilcox Bait Tackle and accessories that cater to your child's specific ADHD symptoms. The extra accessories will provide the best opportunities for your son or daughter to succeed at archery.
When I was a child, I remember the time I shared with a special uncle fondly. During the summer, he would take me fishing at my family's pond. Sometimes, we would fish quietly at the dock. He would occasionally steer me around the pond in a little boat. A few days ago, I found out that I will inherit the family pond. I'm extremely excited about the possibility of purchasing a boat to ride around in with my future kids. On this blog, you will learn how to shop for the perfect pleasure boat for a small body of water. Enjoy!

Global wheat production, already at a record, is raised even higher this month mainly on larger crops in Argentina, the EU, and Russia. Global trade is boosted to a new record with stronger import demand from several Asian countries and Brazil. Larger exports for Australia, Argentina, and the EU are partially offset by a decrease for Canada. The U.S. season-average farm price is raised $0.10 to $3.80 per bushel.
Price changes for wheat classes were relatively modest during December. Hard Red Winter (HRW) was up $8/ton to $191 and Hard Red Spring (HRS) gained $2/ton to $255 based on a slight pickup in foreign demand, highlighted by India's announced elimination of its import duty. Soft Red Winter (SRW) and Soft White Winter (SWW) were both down $1/ton to $174 and $187 respectively, continuing to be weighed by large global supplies.
India's wheat supplies in 2016/17 have tightened relative to growing domestic demand, leading the country to shift from a net exporter to a net importer. Reacting to tight supplies, the government eliminated its import duty in December 2016. Imports are estimated at 3.7 million tons in 2016/17, which would be the highest in 10 years. This is particularly noteworthy given that just 3 years ago India was exporting over 6 million tons, making it the eighth largest exporter at the time.
This is not the first time that India has switched from an exporter to an importer. India followed a similar pattern in 2005/06 when production was down and stocks were exceptionally tight. Akin to the current situation, the government eliminated its import duty and imports surged in 2006/07 to the highest level in over 30 years (6.7 million tons). Furthermore, exports were banned during that period. With a build-up in supplies toward the end of that marketing year, the duty was reinstated and imports fell substantially the next year. Production and stocks grew for several years until the export ban was lifted in 2011 and India re-emerged as a net exporter.
India's recent exports have mainly been to Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates. Currently a net importer, India joins these markets in sourcing wheat from Australia, Russia, and Ukraine. With abundant global supplies, it will not be difficult to find the needed wheat in exporting countries.
Argentina is up 800,000 tons to 9.0 million on a faster pace of shipments as well as a larger crop.
Australia is boosted 500,000 tons to 23.5 million due to ample supplies, competitive prices, and larger expected demand from Asian countries.
Canada is lowered 500,000 tons to 21.0 million due to slower-than-expected exports.
The EU is raised 500,000 tons to 25.5 million based on a faster-than-expected pace of trade.
Ukraine is lifted 200,000 tons to 15.7 million based on stronger demand from Asian countries.
Bangladesh is raised 200,000 tons to 5.3 million on a stronger pace of trade and higher expected food use.
Brazil is up 300,000 tons to 7.3 million on rebounding food use, evidenced by the fast pace of trade.
India is boosted 700,000 tons to 3.7 million as the removal of the import duty is expected to spur additional demand.
Vietnam is up 300,000 tons to 3.6 million based on stronger trade and expectations of larger feed and residual use.

West Nile gets early start
The West Nile virus carried by mosquitoes is off to an early start in Connecticut.
The state Mosquito Management Program said Wednesday that mosquitoes trapped in Stamford June 14 tested positive for the virus. Theodore Andreadis, chief medical entomologist, says it could be due to the warm weather.
Bob Lupinacci, special assistant to Mayor Michael Pavia for public affairs, confirmed that a bird-biting mosquito trapped last week in the Sleepy Hollow section of Springdale did test positive for West Nile virus.
Anne Fountain, interim director of health and social services, was expected to make a formal announcement about the finding late Wednesday afternoon or early Thursday morning.
Fountain did not return a voice mail message left for her at her office Wednesday afternoon.
The early start is a concern because more cases could develop throughout the summer and peak earlier than usual, according to Andreadis.
Andreadis says West Nile virus is typically first detected in mid-to-late July, and added that 91 mosquito traps in 72 Connecticut communities are tested for West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis beginning June 1.
The Department of Public Health advises people to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites. Symptoms are a rapid onset of fever, headaches, muscle aches and nausea.
Last year, cool temperatures and frequent rain helped curb West Nile virus in Connecticut.

Ladies Night Out with author Allison Dickson
Wednesday, July 24, 2019 - 7:00pm
Join us for an evening with Allison Dickson as she shares her debut novel The Other Mrs. Miller. We will be serving mocktails and giving away prizes!
Dickson's startling debut thriller THE OTHER MRS. MILLER (G. P. Putnam's Sons; Publication Date: July 16, 2019), takes domestic suspense to new heights in this female-driven darkly funny page-turner with a game-changing plot twist. This is a bold and unforgettable look the irreparable damage done by those who are supposed to love and protect us. Expertly paced and told in multiple points of view, it delivers a chilling peek at what really goes on behind closed doors in seemingly perfect lives. Take Phoebe Miller, for example. Born into the kind of affluence that brings luxury and status as well as media scrutiny, thirty-two-year-old Phoebe has turned into a bored and lonely housewife in one of Chicago's finest suburban neighborhoods.
Depressed and at loose ends, Phoebe is a woman whose ten-year marriage to her college sweetheart is on life support for a host of complicated reasons, including her tense childhood with a ruthless father who died recently, leaving an eye-popping fortune and a wave of #MeToo scandals in his wake. Now Phoebe recoils from her husband's touch and spends her days drinking cabernet and dozing by the pool—that is, when she's not peering out the window obsessing over an unfamiliar beat-up car often parked on her tree lined street. Yet despite her therapist husband's advice and perspective, Phoebe isn't being paranoid. The truth is that two women are watching each other, and only one knows why.
When a new family moves in across the cul-de-sac, Dr. Ron Napier, his vivacious wife, Vicki, and their handsome college-bound son, Jake – Phoebe turns her attention to them and wonders if they are as perfect as they appear – especially with the bruises on Vicki's arms and the fear in Jake's eyes. When a forbidden encounter with Jake draws her out of her shell and deeper into the Napiers' orbit, Phoebe's life finally gets the infusion of excitement she's been missing. Tempting and forbidden, Jake offers the prospect of excitement she's been missing. However, the flirtation-turned-affair gets dangerously complicated when Phoebe finds she actually likes Vicki, who is quickly becoming her closest confidante. And when the driver of that rusty old car finally makes a move to contact Phoebe, it sets off a violent chain of events that no one—not Phoebe or her husband, not the stalker, nor the new neighbors—could have seen coming.
With a stunning mid-novel twist that makes readers rethink what they thought they knew about these indelible characters, THE OTHER MRS. MILLER issues a challenge to reexamine complex human relationships and the devastating legacy of family-held secrets large and small. The result is an utterly original thriller that's a testament to the idea that the greatest mysteries and dangers often lie close to home.
Allison Dickson is the author of several independently written horror and dystopian novels, along with nearly two dozen short stories published both independently and as part of anthologies. When she's not writing in genres like horror, sci-fi, and suspense, she is typically gaming, blogging, or exploring. Dickson lives in Dayton, Ohio, with her family
