Planning my build, just looking for design input at the moment.
I definitely want a slave X axis.
I am potentially going to go with one of the 1500W Chinese water cooled spindles.
How are you connecting the y-axis uprights at the rails? Can you you add an image of the area, close up?
I was just going to bolt through the Gantry Plate into a T-Nut inside of the upright extrusion.
Now I am wondering if there will be enough clearance for the head of the bolt, or if I will have to countersink the holes and use bolts that will sit flush with the surface.
That's what I thought ...the clearances required for the hardware will require some mods to holes, tapping or counter sink or bore.
Also, the holes in the riser plates are tapped, so I may just skip them.
but ultimately its not necessary, and would be purely cosmetic. probably more effort than it is worth.
Very nice and interesting build. Looks similar to my Sea-OX.
I could make the cross member axis lower (you are referring to it as X, I was calling that Y, same difference) in order to drastically reduce the torque on the long axes.
150mm veritical members rather than 250mm may suffice. I worry about the stability of plates. I am not sure if they would flex or bend.
One of the other worries I have is the horizontal X axis holding the spindle. I wonder if it would put too much torque on the wheels. Your orientation seems nice, but once again requires a custom mounting bracket which I don't have the ability to make right now.
You could easily make the parts so they wont bend. Currently pictured on my Sea-Ox I am using .25" MDF. That is certainly not strong enough for plates. But soon I will be having all of my plates cut from a piece of 2' x 2' x 3/16" Stainless Steel. The Stainless is extremely strong and will not bend.
That would be ideal, but I was hoping to do this cheaper. Then, once I have this thing running, I can machine my own plates out of aluminum. I doubt this thing would do stainless even with the 1.5kW water cooled spindle.
I guess I could see if someone at work would machine the plates for me if I provide them with the files. The downside to being at a big company is you cant just hop on a machine whenever you have downtime. resources are constantly being stretched to their limits.
I actually only paid $130 for the stainless. Someone is being kind and cutting the material for free on a water jet for me.
Hey I been wanting to build one just like this one you designed. Do you have a compelte parts list yet. And if you do build this are you going to use the parts you get from the open builds store or use other sites?


I remember reading the credits on Commons finding forever album and always wondered who that guy was.
Andrew is on here from time to time. Apparently, he also flies a helicopter!
Looking forward to the POS collab. When that dude really hits, he's going to hit hard. Mark my words.
I agree Storyville, the stage is really set for P.O.S. Can't wait to get started on that album. Hopefully after I'm done with it, he'll be a household name.
Oh BTW, no helicopters, just airplanes.
AHA! You may be mixing and producing for Kanye West and POS - but I have steered a helicopter!.... PS, check your PMs.
Imagine all the fun he has doing his job working with such talented people making great music.
I'd love to do stuff he does for $40,000 a year.
Music first. As long as I can pay for my needs I'm happy living the msucians/producer/engineer life. No need for a gazillion Dollars.
Imagine all the WORK he does. How many engineers has Kanye kicked to the curb in his career?
How many times have YOU bought that album?


These Lego Blocks are really popular right now. Using the bobble stitch you can make an adorable afghan for yourself or a child. Go back to childhood when you built fun buildings with your Legos. This is a really neat crochet afghan pattern you'll have to try.


The Sod Dike Tarns are a collection of small tarns east of the wall running alongside Sod Dike on a moorland shelf below the much larger Whitaside Tarn. They are unnamed on the OS Explorer or Landranger maps, the name I've given is purely because Sod Dike is the nearest feature on the map.
Three small tarns are shown on the OL30 Explorer map. The smallest and the one nearest the wall seems to have dried up a long time ago and is now grown over with heather.
The larger of the remaining two tarns is the one to the east though in this case size is a relative term.
The two tarns can be well seen descending Tarn Brow from Whitaside Tarn to the south. The easiest approach though is to simply follow the nearby wall up from the Askrigg to Grinton road below.

#Dungeness Crab#Crabs#Diarrhea#The Quinault Tribe
Quinault Tribe recalling nearly 29 tons of Dungeness crab
By KIRO 7 News Staff
Nearly 29 tons of Dungeness crab is being voluntarily recalled by the Quinault Tribe. The recall affects live and uneviscerated Dungeness crab.
The crabs are being recalled due to possible elevated marine toxin levels. The toxin is called domoic acid, which can be harmful to people if the contaminated shellfish are consumed.
Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, which can start within 24 hours of consumption.
The crab was caught by the tribe from Dec. 23-28 and sold to food processors in Washington.
Everyone who purchased the crabs is being advised to destroy the product and contact the place where it was purchased.

"Tengen is really useful!"
Looking at Tao Quan Zi, Yun Xi felt a strong emotion in his heart, though couldn't see his face .
In order to launch the Disaster of Sky and Earth, Yun Xi needed to meet a lot of preconditions . Anyone wanting to accomplish this needed to master the star map on the chessboard, so it was necessary to put the first chess piece onto tengen .
In the changing star map, only Tengen was always stable . It was the core of the entire star map .
"It's really a rewarding trip! The Disaster of Sky and Earth really exists! Thank you!" Looking at A Cloud in the Sky, Tao Quan Zi sighed .
He wasn't ashamed to be defeated by the Disaster of Sky and Earth .
"After this, come to Heaven Road Palace . Then we could play for three days and nights!"
Yun Xi now had 10 victories in a row .
The light above Yun Xi's head flashed . In a second, the star lights around him became brighter .
It meant that he had just formally become a chess player who had 1 star point . This ident.i.ty was already sufficient to become a honored guest of all forces in the endless G.o.d domains world .
Because of Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom, it was a trend to play Star Go in the high society of the endless G.o.d's domains .
Many legend ranked beings were learning Star Go, but couldn't even step into the Starry Sky Chessboard . Any chess player who had obtained a star point, even just 1 star point, could be the tutor of these exalted legend ranked beings .
Even if Yun Xi left the Sky Tower now, his ident.i.ty of 1 star point chess player was already able to let him live comfortably .
10 successive victories, it was already a shocking achievement amongst newbies .
However, this time, compared to Yun Xi, there was a more terrible "monster" around .
The 4 star points chess player, Black Mage's 13th round game .
Black Mage unluckily met Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom at his second round and was defeated . Apart from this, his play was smooth and he had achieved 10 successive victories .
It wasn't a bad thing to meet Norn at the second round .
Based on the unwritten rules of Star Go, for a long time, he wouldn't meet Norn again, which meant that it was perfectly possible to achieve a series of victories .
If he was lucky, he could achieve 20, no, 30, no, even 40 successive victories, as long as he didn't meet Orfina the Ruby Dragon quickly .
Moreover, he still stood a chance to defeat Orfina even if he met her .
His style was weird when he played Star Go, his attack was often abrupt and unexpected . Norn's style was stable, he wouldn't be affected by Black Mage's tricks, but his style restrained Orfina's style .
He was one of the few 4 star points chess players who could break even with Orfina .
If I'm really lucky, It's even possible to achieve 60 successive victories!
Maybe I can become a 6 star points chess player after this game, just like Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom?
With such a joyful idea, Black Mage started his 13th round of the game .
In the game, not everyone's round of the game was the same . Based on the time they defeated their opponent or was defeated by their opponent, the rounds they had played were different .
When Black Mage played with Norn the G.o.d of Wisdom, the battle between them lasted for a long while . The gap between 4 star points and 6 star points wasn't wide enough to let Norn defeat him quickly .
Even Norn was defeated after his 60 successive victories the last time . He was defeated by Orfina, Duck Rome, and even him, Black Mage almost defeated Norn once .
Black Mage tested out Norn's Star Go Strength this time just now . He had to admit that he wasn't likely to defeat Norn this time in the game .
However, it's not a shame . Norn was the only 6 star points chess player, everyone was defeated by him more than once .
"3 star points… Cyber Elf Alpha…" Black Mage casually took a glance at his opponent's code name and star point . Suddenly, he froze .
Cyber Elf Alpha… isn't she one of the four newbies? How can it be possible that she already obtained 3 star points?
3 star points meant that she had achieved 30 successive victories, but… she was just a newbie!
If it's true, when I have just played 13 rounds of the game, she has won 30 rounds?
No, it can't be true! Star Go will drain large amounts of mental strength . It's not surprising to play several hours in a round of the game .
I did waste too much time when I played with Norn, but, 30 rounds? Are you kidding me?
"Pa!" Before Black Mage reacted, Cyber Elf Alpha had put down her first chess piece .
"Do you look down on me? How dare you give up your upper hand advantage?" Black Mage sneered when he saw the place of Cyber Elf Alpha's first chess piece .
Humph, I don't know who you are, you are probably a legend rank elf, it doesn't matter . The bloodline of "pointy ears" is indeed special .
However, I'm not a mortal either . I'm a dark mage who has activated my bloodline, the uncrowned king of ten G.o.d's domains!
In order to practice Star Go, I even made a real star map in the real world, using real stars as my chess pieces!
As a newbie, how dare you put the first chess piece in the center of the chessboard, where the tengen is?
Very well, I will teach you the cruel law of the jungle of Star Go! "Tengen is really useful!" Looking at Tao Quan Zi, Yun Xi felt a strong emotion in his heart, though couldn't see his face .

I would rather organize a Forever 21 store than sit through a boring presentation.
And what's worse than a boring presentation? Five, 10, or even 15 boring presentations.
That's the fate clients subject themselves during the new business process. And while you might think they deserve to be in this situation, it won't help you win the account.


Having a tidy house is everyone's dream. Whether a single person household or a numerous family, the desire to have a neat and ordered home is a universal aspiration. Adequate storage is fundamental to realising the dream of a clutter free household. Perhaps the room that is most important to get right when it comes to storage is the bedroom. This is the place where we start and finish the day, as well as the place where we prepare ourselves to face its daily opportunities and challenges. Nowadays there are even coaches and wardrobe storage organisers who can help de-clutter your life. But before you employ a storage consultant here below we offer you a few tips and suggestions to achieving an orderly bedroom through the right wardrobe storage.
The closet or the wardrobe is a key storage element in the bedroom, but not the only one (the bedside locker or table and blanket chest also accommodate sleep related paraphernalia). The most popular types of closet are the walk-in and the fitted wardrobe. Nowadays the free standing wardrobe is more likely to be a period piece or an antique.
The potential for walk-in wardrobe storage depends on the space available, for anyone who can incorporate a separate area, directly off the bedroom ideally, a walk-in closet provides a number of advantages in terms of avoiding clutter. Firstly because it's a separate room and secondly because it can take up spaces in a floor plan that are not suitable to other uses. Not having a window for example in the walk-in closet is an advantage, especially if the shelves and rails are open. Clothes are less likely to suffer damage and a good fitting door is important to avoid dust collection. The layout will depend on individual tastes but it will be important to include a full length mirror and good artificial lighting.
Like the fitted kitchen the fitted wardrobe is a phenomenon of the 20th Century, with the advent of industrialisation in the home over the latter part of the last century the fitted wardrobe became ubiquitous. The fitted wardrobe takes up the space available in the bedroom for storage, ideally between one wall and another or an entire alcove. It comes with wardrobe storage systems that allow a range of options, are flexible and can be easily adapted. Built in wardrobe storage ideas include trays, racks, shevles, hangars, drawers etc. they are arranged to suit each individual case.
Again this depends on the space available, if the ceilings are high special storage units with pull down handles can be incorporated for top of wardrobe storage. The standard approach for organising the wardrobe is to include hanging space, pull out storage drawers as well as lower level shoe racks. This more or less corresponds to the place on the body where clothes and other items are worn. Wardrobe storage systems should always put the emphasis on the items that we use on a daily basis, making them easily accessible. While articles less frequently used can be is less accessible positions.
Unlike our predecessors today we tend to have a lot more clothes, accessories, shoes etc. so having a methodical and ordered storage system is more important than ever before. The wardrobe can be much more than simply an attractive piece of furniture or additional room.
Life is better when everything is in its place.

Q: Android: Bluetooth Chat. connect to mHandler in MainActivity from another Class I made the android Bluetooth-Chat tutorial. Instead of using the OnClickListeners in the main acitivity, I want to use the OnClickListeners in an other class (MyCursorAdapter.class).
I think its a very simple java problem. But I don't know  how to implement this (how can I use mHandler from the other activity in my class).
Can anybody helpe me?
Cheers Felix
Source in the MainActivity.class (is working well)
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
private BluetoothService mChatService = null;

...
    private void setupChat() {
    mButton1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

    mButton1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            byte[] out = {32};
            mChatService.write(out);
            mChatService = new BluetoothService(this, mHandler);
        }
   });
 }

Source In MyCursorAdapter.class (here I want to implement the same function)
public class MyCursorAdapter extends ResourceCursorAdapter implements OnClickListener {
...

        private class OffItemClickListener implements OnClickListener {
        private int position;

        public OffItemClickListener(int position) {
            super();
            this.position = position;
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mCursor.moveToPosition(position);
               // byte[] out = {32};
               // MainAcitivity.talkChat(out);
               // error: "non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context"

               // Here i want to the the same like in the MainActivity class.
               // But how can I connect to the mHandler?
        }
        }
  }

Comment:
Instance of MyCursorAdapter in MainActivity
private void fillData() {
    Cursor notesCursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes();
    startManagingCursor(notesCursor);

    adapter = new MyCursorAdapter(this, notesCursor);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

Comment comment:
Or how can I call this MainActivity method from MyCursorAdapter?:
public void talkChat(byte[] out) {
   mChatService.write(out);
   mChatService = new BluetoothService(this, mHandler);
 }

A: Create an instance of mhandler in your MyCursorAdapter class
     public class MyCursorAdapter extends ResourceCursorAdapter implements
    OnClickListener {

    private Handler mHandler;

    public void setMHandler(Handler mHandler){
        this.mHandler = mHandler;

    private class OffItemClickListener implements OnClickListener {
    private int position;

    public OffItemClickListener(int position) {
        super();
        this.position = position;
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        mCursor.moveToPosition(position);
           // byte[] out = {32};
           // MainAcitivity.talkChat(out);
           // error: "non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context"

             Use your mhandler...
           // Here i want to the the same like in the MainActivity class.
           // But how can I connect to the mHandler?
    }
    }
    }

And Reference it from your MainActivity
private void fillData() {
  Cursor notesCursor = mDbHelper.fetchAllNotes();
 startManagingCursor(notesCursor);

adapter = new MyCursorAdapter(this, notesCursor);
adapter.setMHandler(mHandler); //Reference
setListAdapter(adapter);

}

Milt Jackson (Detroit, Michigan, 1923.  január 1. – New York, 1999. október 9.) amerikai vibrafonos, dzsesszzenész, a Modern Jazz Quartet egyik tagja volt.

Pályafutása

Tizenhat éves korában már profi vibrafonosként dolgozott. Dizzy Gillespie 1945-ben hívta meg zenekarába. Később koncertezett és lemezfelvételeket készített többek között Thelonious Monkkal.

Abszolút hallása volt.

Hétéves korában elsajátította a gitárjátékot. Tizenegy éves korától zongorázni tanult. Középiskolás korában már játszott dobokon, üstdobon, hegedűn és xilofonon is, amellett énekelt egy gospel együttesben. Tizenhat éves korában zeneiskolába került, ahol elsajátította a vibrafonozást is. Ez lett az igazi hangszere.

1954-ben a már három éve létező Milt Jackson Quartet új neve Modern Jazz Quartet lett, ami aztán a kor egyik legnépszerűbb együttesévé vált.

Three Hills Capital Partners is pleased to announce that following the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Space3 S.p.A ("Space3") – the largest SPAC listed on the regulated market for investment vehicles managed by Borsa Italiana – the shareholders have approved a Business Combination and Merger with Aquafil ("Aquafil", or "the Company"), a Three Hills Capital Partners portfolio company.
Aquafil is a leading global producer of synthetic fibres used in the textile, flooring, and clothing industries. The Company is present in 8 countries across 3 continents, has 14 production plants, and employs more than 2,700 people. Aquafil is recognised worldwide as a leader in R&D and innovation, as evidenced by its successful ECONYL® Regeneration System, which is the first Nylon 6 fibre made from 100% regenerated waste material. Aquafil has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to research into sustainable models of production.
Funds advised by Three Hills Capital Partners ("THCP") initially invested in Aquafil in 2009, when Aquafil was generating c. €35m of EBITDA. Since then, the Company has delivered excellent financial performance, with FY16 revenue and EBITDA of c. €482m and c. €65m, respectively.
THCP has led investments in the Company of more than €145m since 2009, providing flexible capital solutions across four different transactions that supported the growth of the Company, including the opening of a plant in Slovenia to develop the ECONYL® Process, and a plant in China to serve new markets. THCP has also supported the CEO, Giulio Bonazzi, in consolidating the Company's shareholder base.
Following today's announcement, a full exit of THCP's 2014 round of financing is envisaged as well as the repayment of the capital invested in 2016, representing the first liquidity event for Three Hills Capital Partners' second fund.
Due to the continued strong belief in the management team of Aquafil, THCP has decided to retain an equity stake at the listing date.
Mauro Moretti, founder and Managing Partner of Three Hills Capital Partners commented: "It is not easy to summarise in few lines the amazing journey we have undertaken with Giulio Bonazzi, and the outstanding team around him, since 2009. It started with the support Three Hills Capital Partners gave them in financing their visionary ECONYL® project, and from there we have structured several rounds of financing to concentrate the shareholder base and continue supporting one of the most impressive management teams we have worked with. We are honoured, both professionally and personally, to have supported and witnessed what is today a case study in how to become a market leading business in an environmentally sustainable way. We are delighted to support Aquafil's transition to becoming a listed entity, and look forward to supporting its continued success as shareholders.
For over 50 years, Aquafil has been one of the leading players, both in Italy and globally, in the production of Polyamide 6: a landmark in terms of quality and product innovation. Additionally, the Group is a leader in the research of new production models for sustainable development. This commitment to research and development leads to the regular renewal of processes and products thanks to continuous investments of capital and knowledge.

Easier for Sky customers to get cheaper internet thanks to DWP scheme
Sky is the first major connectivity provider to join DWP initiative making it easier for benefits claimants to get discounted broadband and mobile tariffs
Automatic verification means claimants do not have to repeatedly prove their benefit claim status to access discounted social tariffs
Switching to a social tariff could save claimants up to £180 a year
This system makes it easier than ever for low-income families to sign up to discounted broadband which could save households as much as £180 a year compared to industry average tariffs.
Introduced last summer, the government scheme lets internet service providers – with claimants' permission – ask the DWP to automatically verify their customers' benefit entitlement.
This means people do not need to actively prove they claim benefits whilst on a tariff designed for those on low incomes, as they did previously, often as frequently as every month.
Minister for Social Mobility, Youth and Progression Mims Davies said:
It's positive to see a major provider, such as Sky, sign up to our scheme, making it easier for families to access cheaper broadband and mobile tariffs in difficult times, and I call on other providers to follow suit in offering this type of tariff for those in need.
Claimants who think they might be eligible for one of these tariffs, should contact their provider.
This is just one of the ways we are working to help households during these tough times as part of the government's £37 billion support package for those most in need. Do use the DWP benefits calculator, which is a helpful tool for those looking to see if they could access wider support.
Stephen van Rooyen, Executive Vice President & Chief Executive Officer, Sky, UK & Europe, said:
We know how important connectivity is to our customers, which is why we are focussed on ways we can support them to say online. As well as support with bills, we also provide existing, eligible customers with a broadband and mobile social tariff, helping them stay connected for a significantly reduced cost. The Department for Work and Pensions eligibility tool is a useful step forward, enabling us to more easily confirm eligibility.
Sky and its subsidiary brand NOW join a growing list of providers signing up to the government initiative to help millions access cut price broadband, with WightFibre already signed up to the scheme.
Before the new system was introduced, people were regularly required to verify their entitlement to providers with Jobcentre letters or screenshots of their Universal Credit account.
The availability of social tariffs has been strengthened recently thanks to a drive by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to encourage telecommunicators to expand their range of cheaper deals.
Broadband social tariff take-up more than doubled in 2022 to 136,000 households and the cross-government Help for Households programme, which aims to help people with the increased cost of living, recently launched a UK-wide public awareness campaign to drive awareness and uptake further.
Those in receipt of benefits interested in exploring broadband tariff options should visit Ofcom's website to view the full list of options on offer from providers.
DWP launched its automatic entitlement checker back in August.
The benefits that the DWP's system will be able to verify entitlement for are:
Pension Credit
Income Support
Income-Based Jobseeker's Allowance
Income-Related Employment Support Allowance
The new system centres on customer consent, requiring internet providers to seek permission from customers before approaching DWP to verify eligibility.
The Department is committed to protecting claimants' data and the information DWP shares is strictly limited to confirming individual's entitlement to a qualifying benefit at the time of contact.
There are numerous social tariffs on offer for those receiving Universal Credit and other means tested benefits, and DWP is encouraging claimants to check their entitlement to the growing list of important services accessible at cut-price rates. Other examples include help with health costs, discounted railcards, and Healthy Start vouchers for pregnant women and young children.
Anyone who thinks they could be eligible for a social tariff is urged to use an online benefit calculator, which can help people access support. For further information on help with the cost of living visit the Help for Households website.

Report: Liverpool and Arsenal to battle for Real Madrid's Spanish forward
Date: 26th July 2016 at 2:49pm
By Will Butcher
Real Madrid have given versatile Spanish forward Jese Rodriguez permission to leave the Berneabeu in search of regular first-team football.
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane cannot promise Jese regular game-time this season and is willing to listen to offers for the 23-year-old.
TalkSport claim that this has alerted Premier League big-boys Liverpool and Arsenal, who are long-time admirers of the Spanish youth international.
Despite having a good working relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, Jese has been advised to build a career away from Madrid where he would be likely to remain on the bench.
Jese, who was called up to Spain's Euro 2016 squad over the likes of Diego Costa and Fernando Torres, has fallen down the pecking order in Madrid after the Galacticos exercised their buy-back clause to sign Juventus striker Alvaro Morata for around £25million.
Real's number 20 has just 12 months remaining on a four-year deal that he signed back in 2013, and could be available in a cut-price deal as both Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger look to give themselves more options in the attacking department.
Arsenal and Liverpool will face strong competition from a number of La Liga clubs keen to keep Jese in his home country.
Jese made 28 La Liga appearances last term, though he started only seven matches. He found the back of the net five times, as well as scoring one in Europe during Real's Champions League tie against Roma.
In other Liverpool news, Twitter have reacted after this star man was sent home from The Reds' pre-season tour of America.


You do not need to be a data scientist or work for Google to be more than aware of the ongoing encroachment of AI into every facet of our lives. Kai Ku Lee, one of the world's leading AI specialists, recently said he believes 40% of all jobs would be displaced by AI in the next 15 years.
"Chauffeurs, truck drivers, anyone who does driving for a living – their jobs will be disrupted more in the 15-25-year timeframe," Kai Ku Lee famously remarked.
However, despite the buzz swirling around industries regarding AI, Jay Chakraborty, director and adjunct professor at PwC and one of the speakers at the 2018 DATAx New York festival, commented on both the sudden and gradual paths AI has taken through society.
"The first time the concept of AI was discussed in a public forum was 1958. Some 50 years later and we are finally talking about the adoption of AI and how we can use it. It's incredibly progressive what we are talking about today, as the applications of AI are everywhere and anywhere. We have IBM Watson trying to treat cancer, we have automated advisors trying to suggest how you should spend your income."
Yet, despite all these positive accomplishments and advancements, the reality is AI has made some significant and, at least once, near world-ending mistakes through history.
Stanislav Petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Air Defense Forces and was in charge of an early nuclear warning system in Oko. One day, he was manning the system when the unthinkable appeared to have happened – the US had, it seemed, launched a missile attack on the Soviet Union.
"In summary, he determined the missile warning on the AI defense system was an error. He reached this conclusion because the monitor showed the US had only launched 5 missiles," explained Chakraborty.
"If a country like the US was attacking a country as big as Russia, he felt it wouldn't only send five missiles. That detail caused him to pause and use his rationale, and by making that choice not to blindly follow his directives, he is considered by many as the man who saved the world."
In 2016, the team behind Beauty.AI attempted to create an AI capable of judging a beauty pageant.
"It's a nice idea, right? They had all the historical data and set up a supervised learning model. And what was the outcome?" asked Chakraborty.
"About 40 out of the 44 winners it predicted were white, Caucasian females. Only one was black and one or two were from other regions. It was terribly biased to a certain stereotype, rightly or wrongly.
"It's a classic use case for how bias can be built into models," he added.
In 2016, a team of researchers created a risk assessment software called COMPAS to help forecast which criminals where likely to reoffend and where. The team used the records of more than 10,000 arrests made in Florida to train the model.
"And what happened there?" Chakraborty asked. "Every single time, the AI would send cars to minority dominant areas. And with more police on the streets, what's going to happen? There are naturally going to be more arrests."
All of these occasions (except with the phantom missiles), despite the wildly different consequences, were a result of biased datasets.
"We need to think about the long-term consequences of where we are creating today," explained Chakraborty. This is because while the creators of these models may have had good intentions, they did not follow the appropriate guidelines and procedures necessary to create an ethical AI.
"Issues around ethical AI isn't for the masses, it's for people who think ahead and truly believe that what we are creating today has to be good for the mankind and has to be good for society," Chakraborty noted.
Which of the following scenarios around AI do you perceive as a real threat in the next five years?
Is your AI compliant with all the regulatory requirements applicable to it such as the Montreal Declaration of Responsible AI or the Principles from Monetary Authority of Singapore?
The reliability of your model comes down to how it has been trained to make choices. "You've got to be very careful with your approach," suggested Chakraborty. "Our belief and recommendation when people are starting mass-scale models or ones that are very critical. Start with supervised learning and when your confident you can probably try an unsupervised approach."
Chakraborty was of the belief that the sooner large organizations elect a chief ethical officer for technology, the better. Ensuring the that the technical expertise being utilized at a firm is adequately combined with its ethical and reputational concerns as a whole is vital, such as its treatment of sensitive data.
"This has been one of the biggest complaints of AI" said Chakraborty. "Even when you ask the people who made the AI, they can't explain how it works. It can't be a black box which does magic for the rest of us. If it is too complex to understand, how can we control it or stop it from making mistakes?"
Having staff who understand in-house AI systems will become more and more crucial, and will require a concerted effort to upskill employees and promote organizational change.
"But now think about your gen two algorithms running on gen one algorithms. How do we really ever control this? How do we know that the data that has been provided to these algorithms are being used in ethical ways? How do we even know we are providing the right data? That really scares me because that is the situation we are creating."
Chakraborty answer to this worry is simple: "The interesting thing here is these are the things we have talked about; privacy, transparency, accountability, these are all common values to human beings and they are all there in those guidelines. And if you're not following those guidelines, guess what happens? You build a model today and you roll it out in production and the day after tomorrow or maybe next month, it has some massive fluctuation and you get caught.
"One of these bodies will look into it and sooner or later they will come to you and ask how you to show them how you're governing your AI models and if you have nothing. You're probably not in the best position by that point."

Fintech could supercharge a post-Brexit UK
by Roxana Mohammadian-Molina 15 June 2021
The UK's exit from the European Union (EU) was finally completed on 1 January 2021, nearly five years after the Brexit referendum of 2016. In a recent article, the UK's Financial Times argued that while Britain's departure from the EU has so far thrown up more challenges than opportunities for the country's finance industry, Fintech offered a way out of the Brexit blind. And the FT is not alone in singling out Fintech as an industry where, if appropriate steps are taken to support the sector, the UK could become a powerhouse in the post-Brexit world. Indeed, the UK Government's Kalifa Fintech Review, an independent report commissioned by HM Treasury and spearheaded by British entrepreneur Ron Kalifa, suggests that innovation in Fintech has the potential to maintain the UK's status as world leader in finance post-Brexit. This is a sector where the UK already excels: Britain's fintech market accounts for 10% of the global market share and generates £11bn in annual revenue; the UK fintech investment totalled US$4.1bn in 2020, which was more than the next five European countries combined.
Could post-Brexit UK become a Fintech powerhouse? I strongly believe the answer is entirely dependent on having a clear roadmap and an effective plan for the transformation of the UK into a global Fintech hub and a centre for entrepreneurship by taking advantage of London's pioneer role in regulation. The UK, and London in particular, has a number of key advantages: it is a global financial centre, has a cluster of world-leading financial institutions, ranks No.3 globally in terms of market value of TOP200 global financial institutions (US$100 million), has a cluster of top research universities, ranks No.2 in comprehensive strength of top world universities, and is a global pioneer in Fintech regulation, having the first regulatory sandbox. Of course, it also faces a number of high-profile contenders for the role of global Fintech hub.

Ahead of its expected IPO on NASDAQ, Information Age spoke to dLocal about its rise to Uruguay's first Unicorn company and major fintech trends. Read here
So, what are the Fintech opportunities for London and for the UK in the post-Brexit era? Since the start of Project Innovate in October 2014, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has led the UK's regulatory leadership and helped unleash the potential of financial institutions. For example, it encouraged the trialling of self-regulation within the industry (the first P2P industry association in the world), and encouraged the industry to develop virtual sandboxes or umbrella sandboxes. It also facilitated collaboration and partnerships between traditional financial institutions and challenger contenders by encouraging the early adoption of Fintech and solutions such as open banking. For example, in November 2016, the UK regulators encouraged large financial institutions such as HSBC to collaborate with start-ups. In line with this, I strongly believe the opportunities lie in expanding the UK's regulatory leadership and unleashing the potential of financial institutions.
Post-Brexit UK's roadmap to becoming a Fintech powerhouse must include three key elements to ensure appropriate resources are diverted to where they are most required: a plan for becoming a global leader in technology talent, a strategy for fostering close collaboration between industry and academic research, and appropriate policy support are the three key elements to a clear roadmap and an effective plan to becoming a Fintech powerhouse. On the talent front, the focus and attention needs to be not only on attracting and keeping a large pool of non-native talent, but also on supporting local talent and skills in Fintech through initiatives such as Innovate Finance's FinTech For Schools program which aims to promote awareness of FinTech in young people and to showcase the very diverse range of ways to get involved and to inspire the current and next generation of innovators.

Truck Shops ignore consumer laws
Posted by David Shearer on August 27, 2015
A damning Commerce Commission report out today highlights the failure of the Government to protect poor and vulnerable families from unscrupulous truck shops, says Labour's Consumer Affairs Spokesperson David Shearer.
"The report found that 31 out of 32 firms it examined did not comply with their obligations under Finance and Commerce law.
"Sadly it's the Wild West out there where unscrupulous sellers are taking those people who can least afford it for a ride. It's something Labour has been pushing hard to clean up for some time.
"But the Commission says its hands are tied to do anything about the ridiculously high prices and interest rates that are being charged by the dealers because it lies outside the laws it enforces. As its report states: 'Currently there is no law in New Zealand that restricts the prices or interest rates traders can charge.'
"That's because the Government has voted down legislation that would have capped interest rates. Nearly every other Western country has caps.
"Vulnerable kiwi families are becoming hugely indebted to unscrupulous traders who are legally allowed to charge interest rates of up to 100 per cent.
"Truck shops often don't make it clear the total amount that consumers will need to pay. Instead, unsuspecting customers are talked into deals that see them paying several times more for a good that is often of inferior quality.
"That is easily fixed by including an obligation to state the Recommended Retail Price, the weekly amount and the total final amount on every contract.
"It just needs the Government to act. It is time for Consumer Affairs Minister Paul Goldsmith to move beyond his excuses and throat clearing and get cracking. If he wanted the evidence it's here in front of him," says David Shearer.

Mr. Exclusive Customs brings us yet another one of his creations, the Air Jordan 5 "Red Spitting Cobra". In honor of the Year of the Snake, this scaly masterpiece was spawned using an Air Jordan 5 "Toro Bravo" as the base. Mr. Exclusive uses an exotic red python skin, placed throughout the upper and flawlessly on the tongue. Snake skin is also constricted around the midsole, changing the traditional shark teeth of the Air Jordan 5 to cobra fangs. Suede along the toebox and ankle is dyed black, along with the netting on the tongue and side panels.

Bengaluru Comic Con is underway, and this year's biggest attractions are Marvel's superheroes, AXN Live, Graphic India, WWE, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The Star Wars fans had a lot to cheer about as, the Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus unveiled a special edition smartphone with The Last Jedi tie-in.
The OnePlus 5T Star Wars version will only be available for fans in India. It comes in white and black that represent the light side and dark side in the film. The Chinese company has not revealed the launch data for this smartphone. But considering that Star Wars: The Last Jedi releases on December 15, you can expect the phone to hit the stores on the same day. As of now there is no word on the price.
The original OnePlus 5T features a metal unibody design, which the Star Wars edition will retain. It will sport 6-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with 18:9 aspect ratio. For camera buffs, the phone will offer a 16 MP + 20 MP dual rear camera. It will also offer a 16 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
The smartphone will be backed by the Snapdragon 835 chipset. As of now, we do not know for sure if it will be available in both 6 GB and 8 GB RAM models like the original.


There have been numerous fish kills recently reported from around the state, and staff from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' Fisheries Division is tracking and monitoring these events.
We appreciate the public letting us know where they are seeing unusual fish kill events, said Jim Dexter, Fisheries Division chief. This can be done by emailing reports to DNR-FISH-Report-Fish-Kills@michigan.gov.


People ask me why I use three computers on my rebreather. It's a good question and frankly the decision is probably based on personal preference, careful planning, irrational fears and wrong assumptions.
The default set up for my Dive Rite O2ptima rebreather is two Hammerhead handsets. The primary is used to drive the Solenoid (which injects oxygen into the loop) and provides decompression information (Buhlman GF) as well as a read on the O2 Cells 1,2 and 3. The secondary is used to drive the Diva HUD (Head Up display with vibrating capabilities) displaying information from the same cells there as well as on its display. A lot of O2ptima divers dive their rebreather this way with one handset on each arm and the HUD.
Some choose to get the optional deco capability on the secondary handset, a $500 pin code from Hammerhead and a reasonably good choice which gets you a backup decompression computer should the primary fail (and you find yourself manually running your rebreather, using SCR mode or bailing out on Open Circuit).
The O2ptima has a neat feature which allows you to install a fourth sensor that can be read from a third party computer connected via a fisher cable. That's what I was doing with some degree of success and failure with my VR3. This gives you a second deco computer, possibly a different deco algorithm and a fourth cell to get O2 readings from. Unfortunately a fourth cell can fail or behave erratically and as such I didn't trust the VR3 as much as I would have wanted to. It also always seemed to be reading .10 higher than cell 1,2,3 which bothered me. One could also use a Liquivision X1, Shearwater Pursuit or Delta-P VRX with this scheme, reading from one sensor.
Having switched to the Liquivision X1 from the VR3 and following closely the announcements for the PPO2 interface, the X-Link, I have been working on a solution to connect three cells to a Fisher cable. Kevin from HammerHead set my head up with a split harness and 5 wires Fisher cable so I could continue monitoring Sensors 1,2,3 with the HammerHead handsets in addition to Sensors 1,2,4 with my Liquivision X1/X-link. Of course the same could be done with a Shearwater Pursuit or Delta-p VRX.
So what do I like about this setup ?
Different software and hardware. If the HH primary handset was to freeze up due to an odd software issue (as opposed to electrical) it's entirely possible the same thing could happen on my secondary. With the Liquivision X1, I am on a different hardware and software platform, one altogether different bugs maybe but _different_ is the key. Redundancy through additional and different hardware/software.
And while Fisher cables can be problematic, when well maintained they are reliable. Now, I still have and use my two HammerHead handsets. With the secondary tucked away in a belt pocket, the HUD and primary remain my main dive instruments.
The Liquivision is a very good backup and could be the primary if I had a different setup (MCCR or OC, for example) and could be substituted by a Shearwater Pursuit or a Delta-p VRX. In addition to tables, of course and a deco plan written on white electrical tape.
Excellant assesment and reason's for the third computer. I myself dive a Megalodon CCR, but have been thinking about getting an Optima as a "back-up" unit, and now this has given me some very good points.

The School of Business has maintained its business accreditation by AACSB International. Additionally, the Accounting Program also maintained specialized AACSB Accreditation.
Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education and has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business schools.
Today, there are 633 business schools in 40 countries that maintain AACSB Accreditation. Similarly, 177 institutions maintain an additional specialized AACSB Accreditation for their accounting programs. To maintain accreditation a business program must undergo a rigorous internal review every five years, at which the program must demonstrate its continued commitment to the 21 quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources and interactions of faculty and students, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
To learn more about AACSB International Accreditation, visit the AACSB International website at www.aacsb.edu.
