The African, Caribbean and Pacific-African Union Spouses have decided to channel funds raised from its annual charity fundraising in Brussels this year to Women's Initiatives for Safer Health in Sierre Leone and towards the purchase of a mammography machine in the Solomon Islands.
Secretary-General Dr. Chambas in accepting the cheque commended the efforts of the spouses association stating that the money would go a long way to saving many lives in the two ACP countries.
The money will be divided equally to the two charities.
The cheque was presented to Dr Chambas and the Chairman of the ACP Committee of Ambassadors and Ambssador of Nigeria, H.E Mr. Ushman Baraya, by the Treasurer of the Association, Mrs. Agathe Todjinou.
The ceremony was witnessed by members of the ACP Committee of Ambssadors. Last year the spouses raised 26,000 euros, which was donated to Haiti following the devastating earthquake, which killed thousands of people in that country.

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) proudly presents "Buyer & Cellar" by Jonathan Tolins, a quirky comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of jobs.

Called a "Seriously funny slice of absurdist whimsy" by The New York Times, Buyer & Cellar is a comedic one-man show that depicts how different life is for celebrities and the people who work for them.
"Buyer & Cellar is a hilarious yet poignant play that explores and contrasts humans' connection to material items and other humans," shared Remy Germinario, who plays Alex More (as well as many other characters) in FST's production of "Buyer & Cellar." Germinario has played Alex More in Riverside Theatre and Cardinal Stage Company's productions of Buyer & Cellar, and received the FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award for his performance in Bradley Cole.

How the hell did she win the muscle growth competition?
It's really strange, but it looks like I just won the "Oktoberfest" competition, our training race and health project at work. It was about gaining the most muscle mass (%) during October.
How the hell did that happen? You are probably asking. And so am I.
I will try to answer. I kind of enjoy winning, so I started off with a plan to carefully study muscle growth and diet, and go to the gym at least 4 times a week, to boost my muscles. I googled and I red. The first evening. Three visits at the gym and four portions of protein powder later, I gave up. I love competing, and I love winning. But time is my most limited resource, and doing what I love is simply higher prioritized.
What did happen during the competition, was that I got inspired, and foremost reminded of how good physical training makes me feel, and I managed to focus more on it.
I don't get triggered by numbers and calculating grams, waist centimeters or bicep growth. It is a nice effect, if you can see a difference, which I usually cannot (the more I train, the fatter I look, its true) but it's not my core goal and what pushes me forward in my training.
My goals: To be strong and healthy and have fun!
1. To be strong, healthy and live a long life (staying strong and healthy through life).
I want to to be mentally and physically strong and healthy. Training helps me in to improve in both.
I feel really good from physical activity and I like to get my pulse up. I actually enjoy it when my legs are almost burning from heavy training (though I don't feel the same way about shoulders). I also like pushing myself, challenging my limits.
Its not only physically enjoyable but also mentally recharging. For me, training it is where I get my energy refill and mental relaxation after a long day. I am never as creative as 25 minutes into a running or spinning workout. I just wish it was easier to take notes while running.
I am also driven by fear. Since training brings me so much joy, I fear being physically limited one day (reminded by knee problems in the past, sadly forcing me to give up the art of Capoeira). I dont wish to become stiff and weak with back problems, from all the time I spend in front of a computer, so it is important for me to stay flexible.
Training should be fun! For me, to invest the time into training, it has to bring me joy in itself. Music is one important ingredient. In the dance, it is of course the key thing. I like a blend of explosive and low intensity training. I also like to improve/develop skills and train hard at the same time.
Marital art and dance allows me to compete with myself, and improve body control and awareness, at the same time as it is social, hanging out with friends and meeting people that I otherwise would never have met. Spinning and running is my own time, when I can either get really exhausted, or just have a good thinking. Fresh air is desired for the latter. Climbing is also great since it combines training and social, but my climbing partners tend to get pregnant so its a found and lost project.
I don't enjoy gym training so much, but I do it sometimes anyway. Partly for health reasons, but most for trying to keep a good core stability and strength, which is necessary for reaching better results in my dance classes.
1. Gym, lifting weights. Three times. Resulted in a horrible pain, in muscles I didn't even know existed.
2. Dancing, I have been dancing more than ever in october. All together 19 hours. Not leaving so much room for other training.
3. Spinning, mostly "cykel puls" at sats.
4. Power walking, spending time in the nature.
Either the measuring method was faulty, or my philosophy for training actually works. Decide for yourself. Anyway, here are some tips.
1. Varied diet and training I don't believe in a few weeks diet for a lasting result. I think eating "healthy enough" and varied food is the key. I think the body feels better with varied training, with a blend of cardio and strength. Do some sort of exercise at least four times a week. A long walk is enough. It doesn't need to be harder than that as a start. You will feel the difference and want more.
2. Find what makes you tick – what is your passion? Training should be something you look forward to. Find out what you really enjoy doing. I have tried everything from handball and badminton, to climbing, martial arts and dancing, it takes a while to find how and what suits you the best.
3. Balance in life Ok, no one is perfect. I am still figuring this out.
How do you gain maximum muscle in minimum time?
I am not sure what I can win, but its a contest and I kind of like the idea of winning, so I will go for it. The biggest loss if I loose, is some hours spent in the gym and perhaps some fat. I can live with that. So, here I am for the first time surfing on training blogs. Found this in Swedish, can't say its very inspiering.
I am wondering what difference there is for muscle growth for men respectively women, considering my chances of winning ;). I have heard, or I have surfed, that muscle growth in the short term (12 weeks) is relatively similar, though the results shows that men has a slightly higher muscle mass, while women increase more in strength. In the long term, of course, men's muscle growth increase much more than women. What is the case for 4 weeks?
I could really use some general tips, if you have any – please give them to me!
The red men goes Iron man.
My legs are a bit tired after 15 km of powerwalk and one hour's explosive dance class. Made me feel some compassion for my colleagues, right now completing the Iron Man in Barcelona, a Triathlon of 3.8 km swimming, 180 km bicycling and 42 km running.
The competition has been on for 10 hours and 13 minutes.
GOOD LUCK guys! We ara all proud of you! Even though we really think you are insane!


Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has expressed the resolve of his administration to hands off all commercial ventures of the state to professionals.
Fayemi, who spoke to newsmen during the continuation of his tour of project sites and infrastructure in the state promised that his government would soon commence work on all abandoned and dilapidated projects in the state.
He lamented the sorry state of virtually all legacy projects that are supposed to be the pride of all Ekiti people adding that all the projects were in full operation before he left office four years ago.
Specifically, the Governor said Fountain Hotel would soon bounce back as his administration will soon embark on rapid rejuvenation of the facility to return its old glory and position it as a profitable venture.
He wondered why a government that claimed to be people's government would allow projects that belong to the people to almost go to extinction within his watch.
"All these things, we are going to fix, but it is important for Ekiti people to know the type of leadership that just left office in our state. Because these facility was in full operation when I was governor up to the last day I spent in office.
This facility was one of the sought after facilities for use, because it is attached to the hall that provides very good usage for public and then the 32 rooms that are here are always almost fully booked, so for me to see it in this state, I just ask myself, its not rocket science to manage public property.
You really need to think of yourself, how you manage your own property at home. At the last time I checked, governor Fayose manages his private properties very well, so it means that public properties means nothing to him, that is why he would allow this to be destroyed like this.
"We would revive it, we would rejuvenate Fountain Hotel and then let it out to professionals to manage. What this also proves is that we really need to get government out of managing commercial ventures in our state, because government would come and go, but the properties would still be here, and they are legacy properties.
All of us should see them as source of pride to Ekiti people, most people who came to Ekiti about one decade ago, this is probably the only hotel they would know. But look at this place now, this is a shadow of itself, this is a ghost town".
Fayemi said the purpose of the tour was not to witch-hunt or cast aspersion on anyone but to have on the spot assessment of the information he received through the ministerial briefings from the MDA's.
According to him, "The purpose of this assessment is not even to pass blame or cast aspersion on anybody, it is to just see what the officials have told me during the briefing by MDAs.
" I did not want to go by what the MDAs have told me, that is why I am out to examine all these things myself and to form my own judgment about how our state has been govern and what we need to do as a people collectively to ensure that never again should we subject our state to people who neither know anything about governance nor development .
Other project sites visited by the governor in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital are Ekiti Parapo Pavilion Adunni Olayinka Civic Centre and Oja Oba.

6 Reasons Why Apple's E-Book Defense Failed
Nathanael Arnold Google+ Twitter
Soon after U.S. District Judge Denise Cote issued a ruling that found Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) guilty of violating antitrust laws in the e-book business, the Cupertino-based company announced its next move. "Apple did not conspire to fix e-book pricing and we will continue to fight against these false accusations…We've done nothing wrong and we will appeal the judge's decision," Apple spokesperson Tom Neumayr told The Verge.
Is Apple now a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity? Click here to get your 24-page Ultimate Cheat Sheet to Apple's Stock now!
According to legal experts cited by the Washington Post, Apple's appeal could eventually reach the Supreme Court. Judge Cote outlines and refutes the "six principal arguments" that Apple used in its defense in her ruling. Fortune's Philip Elmer-DeWitt notes Apple's success on appeal may depend on how well it will be able to respond to the judge's teardown of Apple's six key defenses.
1. Monsanto Defense
First, Apple relied heavily on a previous Supreme Court decision involving Monsanto (NYSE:MON) that found that if "a defendant had a legitimate, independent reason for its actions" besides ambiguous involvement in a conspiracy, "then no fact-finder may infer that it engaged in a conspiracy." Cote dismissed this argument by noting that the "Plaintiffs have shown by a preponderance of the evidence that Apple violated the antitrust laws."
2. Apple Didn't Conspire with Publishers

Second, Apple argued that it did not intend to conspire with publishers to raise e-book prices, and that it cannot be held liable for the publishers using Apple's deals with them as "a tool to force an industry change to the agency model." Although Cote noted that many of Apple's individual business negotiation tactics were legal, Apple still "created a mechanism and environment that enabled them to act together in a matter of weeks to eliminate all retail price competition for their e-books."
3. Not Responsible
Third, Apple insisted that the government failed to prove that it was responsible for the increase in e-book prices, since Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) could have refrained from adopting the agency model, and then publishers would have simply withheld e-books from Amazon. Judge Cote dismissed this argument by noting that the practice of withholding books, otherwise known as "windowing," was not widespread and had only occurred for 37 titles.
4. The "Counter-Narrative"
Fourth, Apple presented a "counter-narrative" to the events as described by the prosecution. Judge Cote observed that the government's version of events fits the documentary record and circumstantial evidence. Cote also said the government's allegations are further supported by the fact that Apple's conspiracy succeeded.
5. What About the Rule of Reason?
Fifth, Apple argued that its conduct should not be analyzed as a per se violation of antitrust laws, but should rather be analyzed less stringently under the "rule of reason." Essentially the "rule of reason" analysis would hinge on Apple being a "vertical player" in the industry. However, Judge Cote maintained that, "Apple directly participated in a horizontal price-fixing conspiracy."
6. Don't Hurt Businesses
Finally, Apple argued that a verdict against it would hurt businesses in general. Apple lawyer Orin Snyder summarized this view in his closing argument, which stated a verdict against Apple would create "a chilling and confounding effect not only on commerce," but on "content markets throughout this country."
Judge Cote seemed to agree with Apple's general view on this issue when she wrote that, "It is certainly true that our nation's antitrust laws should be applied with care. Courts must be sensitive to the unique features of any market and the ambiguities of commercial conduct to avoid chilling lawful competition." However, Judge Cote dismissed this argument by pointing out that the e-book market's "higher prices were not the result of regular market forces but of a scheme in which Apple was a full participant."

Once the fruit have reduced to a sauce consistency (about 15 to 20 minutes), remove from heat.
While hot but not cooking, add 2 tablespoons of raw honey and/or organic sugar.
Add 1/4 cup of whole chia seeds and a teaspoon of milled flax seed.
Stir well and let stand to thicken.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles or muffins. It is wonderful mixed with plain greek yogurt or on it's own by the spoonful for desert! great for adults and children!
Raw chia, honey and flax can certainly be cooked but I prefer keeping their goodness intact as much as possible.
To preserve for up to a couple of weeks, keep refrigerated in a glass jar with an airtight lid.

There's something about this thriller that reminds me of the middle range of French films I used to see at film festivals back in the late-1990s, accomplished, well-crafted with a strong sense of style and excellent lead performances, but yet relatively restrained auteurist pretentions. Like Claude Chabrol's films, then, perhaps, and his oeuvre has certainly come up in relation to this first film by filmmaker Jeanne Herry. The plot starts out with what is quite possibly my least favourite narrative trope — or at least what seems like it — the death of a woman to give emotional complexity to a male lead. I say it seems like this is the case because in fact this death leads pop star Vincent (Laurent Lafitte) into a series of increasingly foolish decisions, and it's the character of his superfan Muriel (Sandrine Kiberlain) which comes to take centre stage. The extreme situation is a vehicle by which to break down the relationship between fan and celebrity (the title, incidentally, translates as "she adores him"), as Vincent's emotional stability becomes more and more tied to the actions of Muriel — the opposite of what had been the relationship up until then. It also seems to allow Muriel to rein in some of her own delusional fantasising and oddly to regain a healthier balance in her own life. This, though, would all be for nothing were it not for Kiberlain's fantastic and inscrutable central performance, which slowly draws the viewer in and holds their attention, giving what might be a tedious psychological thriller an edge of blackly comic charm. Somehow, then, the film navigates its emotional terrain to become something almost rather delightful, after what seemed such an unpromising start.

with Leonardo diCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie.
An alternative history of the Sharon Tate murders on Cielo Drive in Los Angeles in August 1969 is only part of the story. The movie features Tate, Jay Sebring, Roman Polanski, Charles Manson, Squeaky Fromme, who were real victims and criminals involved in a senseless massacre. Violence is forestalled for a long time except for the cartoonish clips of TV cowboy Rick Landon, the main fictional character– in his show, Bounty Hunter and action movies where he is required for instance to torch Nazis with a flamethrower. When it does come, wham, bang! just as Pacino as Schwarzs, Landon's agent, acts out a Batman scene– look out.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Al Pacino
The first violence erupts with a stand off between Cliff (Pitt), Rick's stunt man, and Bruce Lee. Lee makes the mistake of boasting that he could beat Muhammed Ali. Lee's daughter has complained about her father's portrayal in the movie and you can see why, since he is a bit of an idiot, making a boast like that. He also makes strange sounds that don't seem authentic to the martial art he is practicing.
The story focuses on Landon's career, his depression, alcoholism and feelings as a nearly washed up actor specializing in westerns. Cowboy TV shows are waning, and his efforts to enter the movie business mean going from leading parts to heavies in bad movies. Will he be doomed to play villains in B movies? Should he move to Italy and make spaghetti westerns?
These two guys depend on each other. DiCaprio's cowboy actor with his boyishly round face makes it hard to believe that he would be cast in Clint Eastwood type shows and movies. But he does his best to act the part of a has been who is groping for the next stage of his career. Whenever Brad Pitt shows up things get a little better. A raised eyebrow from Pitt stands in for a whole lot of shouting and carrying on from any other actor. DiCaprio shows his self disgust as he messes up a take in a movie by breaking windows, chastising himself, vowing to quit drinking, and yet somehow all I can think is, when do I get to see Brad Pitt again?
There are problems with pacing, especially when Margot Robbie as Tate sits through her silly movie, the camera aimed at her dirty bare feet, finally freed from her white go go boots. Her dancing at a groovy party must stand in for her whole personality and character. Couldn't she have been given something to say besides that she wanted to see the movie she was in with Dean Martin?
Even with the mildly sexist treatment of her character, the best scenes do feature women. When Rick faces down his juvenile co-star, Julia Butters, while they are reading, during a break from shooting, the movie suddenly comes alive as Rick relates the book he is reading about an injured bronco buster to his own life.
Whenever Cliff passes the sexy hitchhiker named Pussycat (Margaret Qualley), and then finally picks her up and checks out the Spahn Ranch to make sure that George Spahn is all right, the scenes between Pitt and Qualley have chemistry.
When he sees the place where he used to shoot westerns overrun by hippies, he smells a rat. Even though Charles Manson is not there physically, his presence is felt. Cliff seeks out George Spahn, the owner of the ranch, and in a series of suspenseful scenes, he finds him, but not before we fear the worst.
The movie's story telling at its best shows Tarantino has not lost his mojo the same way Dalton has not lost his ability to act. The movie is about movies. Sharon Tate was the essence of it in 1969: happy, senseless, pretty. When she was murdered by a bunch of hippies, the business began to change, and whether Tarantino can accept that remains to be seen. Weren't the seventies supposed to be when movies became better by showing us a bit of darkness, and perhaps even the truth?

Long-term Survival Rate after Vitreous Surgery for Complications of Diabetic Retinopathy
Subba R. Gollamudi, William E. Smiddy, Andrew P. Schachat, Ronald G. Michels, Susan Vitale
The survival rate after vitreous surgery for complications of diabetic retinopathy was studied in 552 consecutive patients who underwent operations between 1979 and 1984. The 5-year postoperative survival rate was 74.7%. Factors associated with a lower survival rate included older age, older age at diagnosis of diabetes, history of renal disease, and a longer duration of diabetes. Factors unrelated to survival rate included insulin treatment, sex, and anatomic and visual outcome. Improved management of systemic diabetic complications has improved survival rates, a finding reflected in the relatively high rate of longterm survival after diabetic vitrectomy.

SeaWorld CEO throws in towel just five months into job
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tilikum, an orca that killed a trainer at SeaWorld Orlando in 2010, has died.
Sea World says in a statement posted online that Tilikum died Friday. A cause of death had not yet been determined, though the orca was being treated for a persistent bacterial infection.
He was estimated to be 36 years old.
Tilikum was profiled in the documentary "Blackfish," which helped sway popular opinion against keeping killer whales in captivity at SeaWorld parks.
As SeaWorld's most prolific male orca, he sired 14 calves in the nearly 25 years he was at SeaWorld Orlando.
Criticism over keeping orcas captive grew after Tilikum grabbed trainer Dawn Brancheau following a "Dine with Shamu" show and pulled her into the pool, killing her.
Tilikum was also involved in the deaths of two other people in the 1990s.

AboutElectric Works
39 acres ofWhat's Next
The Electric Works campus first became a center of industrial innovation in 1883. Early entrepreneurs were experimenting with electricity when the Fort Wayne Jenney Electric Light Company was founded by visionary Ranald T. McDonald and inventor James Jenney. Around the turn of the century, Thomas Edison's fledgling General Electric Co. acquired the business and got busy. At its peak in 1944, the height of WWII, GE employed about a third of Fort Wayne's workforce. For more than eight decades, the campus churned out electric motors, electrical transformers, and more electronic wonders.
In 2015, GE finally closed the campus to stay competitive in a rapidly changing marketplace. For more than five years, 39 acres, eighteen historic buildings, and more than 1.2 million square feet of space in the heart of Fort Wayne sat vacant, waiting for the chance to be reborn and to generate new experiences and new ideas. In 2017, RTM Ventures acquired the property and crafted a plan with the community for a mixed-use development that would become Electric Works.
View Masterplan
RTM Ventures
Ancora, of RTM Ventures, is the master developer of Electric Works. With a strategic focus on urban redevelopment and a commitment to community revitalization, the principals of RTM Ventures have developed over $1 billion of real estate in Indiana and across the United States. The principals each bring a unique and extensive track record in sophisticated capital structures, public/private partnerships, brownfield redevelopment, historic adaptive reuse, as well as the application of federal, state, and local tax credit and economic development incentive programs. The name RTM Ventures honors Ranald T. McDonald, the early entrepreneur who first launched the Fort Wayne Jenney Electric Light Co. in the late 1800s.

Q: How to construct data, from Observables value, and return a Observable after the HTTP call? When constructing a data object that contains values which are resolved from an Observable, I'm unable to figure how to return the Observable<Response>.
I've tried using the forkJoin(), to resolve the values first, and then subscribe to it, and return the this.http.post()... call. This, however, makes it not possible to subscribe to the function itself fetchData().subscribe( ... ). I'm clearly missing something.
So, how do I construct a data object, which contains resolved Observable values, and subsequently return the Observable<Response> object?
// Simplified example

fetchData() {

  // Construct the data
  var data = {
      v1 : this.getValueFromObservable1(),
      v2 : this.getValueFromObservable2()
  };

  // Make the call, return the Observable<Response> object
  return this.http
      .post( 'api/authorization', JSON.stringify(data) );
}

A: This should do what you want:
fetchData() {
    return this.getValueFromObservable1()
    .mergeMap(v1 =>
          this.getValueFromObservable2()
          .map(v2 => { v1: v1, v2: v2})
    );
}

Q: Multiple Urns With a Pre-Defined Probability Mass Function Say we have 20 identical urns containing red and green balls; in our experiment, we will select 8 balls from each urn.
Suppose that for each individual urn, the probability of drawing k green balls out of 8 is given as follows:

k
probability

0
60.0%

1
24.5%

2
4.0%

3
3.4%

4
2.8%

5
2.2%

6
1.6%

7
1.0%

8
0.5%

In our experiment, what is the probability that we will draw a combined total of exactly 10 green balls from the 20 urns?
What method (or methods) can we use to solve this problem for the general case?

A: Let $\mathbb{P}(X_i=k) = a_k$ where $X_i$ is the number of green balls from the $i$-th urn. The $X_i$ are two by two independent, and we search for the law of $\sum_{i=1}^{20}X_i$.
It is easy to see that $\mathbb{P}(X_1+X_2 = n) = \sum_{k=0}^n a_ka_n-k$.
If we define the discrete convolution $f*g = \sum_{k=-\infty}^{+\infty}f(k)g(n-k)$, then we have $\mathbb{P}_{X_1+X_2} = \mathbb{P}_{X_1}*\mathbb{P}_{X_2}$.
More generally, if $X$ and $Y$ are two independent variables, we have $\mathbb{P}_{X+Y} = \mathbb{P}_{X}*\mathbb{P}_{Y}$. So we need to compute $\mathbb{P}_{X_1}*\mathbb{P}_{X_2}*...*\mathbb{P}_{X_{20}}$. The discrete convolution is associative (and commutative), so you can use exponentiation by squaring. For the convolution itself, if the number of balls grows, you can also rely on Fast Fourier Transform. For calculating the power, there are also tricks relying on the Fourier Transform.
We can link it to polynomials this way :
Let $P(x) = \sum_{i=1}^8 a_ix^i$. Then the desired value is the coefficient of $x^{10}$ in $P^{20}(x)$

Posted in | News | Consumer Robotics | Artificial Intelligence
Telexistence Announces Mass Production of AI Robot to be Installed in Japan's 300 FamilyMart Stores
Reviewed by Laura ThomsonAug 10 2022
Telexistence Inc. today announced the mass production of its originally developed artificial intelligence robot, TX SCARA, to be installed in 300 FamilyMart stores, Japan's top-tier convenience store chain in major metropolitan areas, starting later this month, validating its AI-based "robot-as-a-service" solution for grocery retailers.
TX SCARA was created to do the specific task of restocking refrigerated shelves with bottles and cans, a repetitive, tedious job generally performed by employees in often uncomfortable settings. TX SCARA can be in operation 24/7, replenishing shelves at a pace of up to 1,000 bottles and cans per day, relying almost completely on its AI system (known as "GORDON") to know when and where products need to be placed on the shelves.
The implementation of AI robots in FamilyMart stores will allow retailers to take advantage of the newly created time and economic "surplus" in the store environment. Retailers can focus on further improvements in the store environment for both employees and customers, as well as the profitability of each store.
Tomohiro Kano, General Manager of Store Development Department and Railway and Corporate Franchisee Department, of FamilyMart, commented, "The decline in Japan's labor population is one of the key management issues for FamilyMart to continue stable store operations. The introduction of Telexistence robots into FamilyMart stores will eliminate the need for store employees to replenish beverages in refrigerators, and the newly created time can be reallocated to customer service and shop floor enhancement, leading to higher quality store operations."
Kano concluded, "We will continue to work with Telexistence to create a new way to operate stores."
This initiative is a small step toward realizing Telexistence's mission of improving all simple labor workflows in human society with robots. Telexistence is promoting this initiative based on a collaboration with NVIDIA and Microsoft Japan. Specifically, NVIDIA GPU-accelerated AI technologies are embedded in hardware originally developed by Telexistence to provide AI and remote control of robots via Microsoft Azure platform.
"Currently, the greatest limiting factor for any industry, in any nation, is human resources. Especially in developed countries like Japan, the shortage of human labor is rapidly becoming apparent in the retail and logistics industries, which support human life in society," said Jin Tomioka, CEO of Telexistence. "We are promoting large-scale production and social implementation of our robots for industries other than factory automation, industries that function as the infrastructure for daily life in society. We also will bring our automated labor solutions to other regions, such as the United States."
Tomioka added, "Telexistence's robots will become a powerful influence, providing a virtually inexhaustible supply of new labor. The new surplus resources will be appropriately redistributed through market mechanisms, and in the long run, this can lead to the transition of human society to be significantly augmented by automated labor."
TX SCARA is autonomous with GORDON during normal operation. In rare cases where the AI encounters issues due to miscalculation or external factors such as an item falling or being out of place, remotely located Telexistence employees using VR glasses take control of the robot to correct issues across stores. Each TX SCARA can replace one to three hours every day of human work at a single store.
The market potential for TX SCARA is vast. In Japan alone, there are 16,000 FamilyMart convenience stores, plus approximately 40,000 more from other convenience store chains. Telexistence next plans to expand to convenience stores in the U.S., where more than half of consumers say they visit one of the country's 150,000 convenience stores at least once a month.
"Moving from proof-of-concept to mass production of 300 remotely-operated robots with deep AI capabilities is a major step forward," notes Dr. Lewis Pinault, Airbus Ventures Partner based in Tokyo. "As an early investor of Telexistence, we are thrilled to see the company's diverse, richly talented team begin to take flight, rolling out their advanced technology across Japan and activating new channels in support of their future expansion in North America."
Masataka Osaki, Japan Country Manager & VP of Corporate Sales, NVIDA: "Entire industries are transforming as customers build their next generation of robotics and edge AI applications on NVIDIA platforms. Aiming to empower retailers to address labor shortages, Telexistence's robotics solution, powered by NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated technologies, will enhance experiences for both retail customers and employees."
Tomoko Mikami, Managing Executive Officer, Small Medium & Corporate Business, Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd.: "Microsoft Japan will be collaborating globally with Telexistence in terms of cloud platform and business development in the implementation of Artificial Intelligent Robotics for qualitative improvement of industry, as promoted by Telexistence. We are pleased that our platform can contribute to this project, and Microsoft will continue to support the project to make a significant impact not only in the Japanese market but also on a global scale."

Description: A very good GROB editor for DOS.
A very easy and fast to use GROB editor for the PC. The best GROB editor for the PC I've found. Only downside (where I choose other methods then) is that the program is limited to full screen GROB's and doesn't allow bigger GROBs (which must be scrolled then for sure).


Yup, you read it. This post is about nothing.
Have I run out of ideas to write about? Absolutely not. I am just saving those for the New Year. Do I want to call this a filler post til that time comes? Yes. Why? I really don't know. I thought I had something ready to go for today, but I guess not.
So to fill up a post about nothing, I thought I would recap a few pics from way back when the blog first started since it is getting a complete makeover and see if any of you remember the pictures or the posts connected to them. Enjoy the memories of what once was. Remember also, these pics were taken when I was a rookie blogger, so some are awful lol.
And that's it. Here's to wrapping up this post about absolutely nothing but may have had a touch of something.
Recently I showed off my surprise EPIC mail day from The Pack Gambler. In that article, I mentioned there were 12 packs of 1991 Action Packed Football that I would open at a later date. Well, the time has come.
Not only did I bust all 12 packs at a slow pace, it took me roughly an hour as I studied every card, but I have also put together the full gallery of all 12 packs. So sit back, take a moment back in time and enjoy!
The golden wrapper. It's sorta like the golden ticket into something wonderful. The wonderfulness of action packed field pics with embossing.
A couple of Giants and Emmitt. As a Giants fan, I hate him. But, as a collector, I am glad to have found him.
Some BIG TIME Hall Of Famers found in this lot. Barry Sanders, John Elway and Troy Aikman.
My man Rodney! Some guy named Joe Montana as well.
Upper Deck NPN Mail Day: 2014 Sp Golf Dual Relic!!
There is nothing better than getting a unexpected mail day and when that mail day is an Upper Deck NPN (no purchase necessary) mail day, you know it's going to be good. This particular one is from the 2014 Sp Game Used Golf.
I really enjoy getting cards from every sport, so when you get a dual relic card from Golf, especially with a legend like Couples, it's a really nice piece.
Have you ever received an Upper Deck NPN mail day? What's the best card you have gotten?
Upper Deck NPN Mail Day: 2013-2014 Fleer Retro Basketball Precious Metal!
There is nothing better than getting a unexpected mail day and when that mail day is an Upper Deck NPN (no purchase necessary) mail day, you know it's going to be good. This particular one is from the 2013-2014 Fleer Retro basketball.
I love Retro and PMG's! Awesome NPN mail day!
It was just a normal day, slight breeze, partially sunny and a bit cold. I was making my usual morning run to the post office to pick up the mail always in anticipation of awaiting packages. I did get one of the packages I was counting on however there was a bigger one waiting for me. I read the label and saw that it was from The Pack Gambler. The package was very shocking since I wasn't expecting anything, what was inside was even more shocking.
I first pulled out the 12 packs of 1991 Action Packed football (gonna save them for a Monday break 'em), and found these two sweet items!
Upon further digging...it was all about the base, about the base, no inserts. Sorry, that song is catchy though I hate it.
Hakeem Nicks rookie and some inserts including my guy Randle.
Then this sweet baby from 2004! Shiny! I have never seen one of these.
Then the hit parade rained and boy did it rain....Two Nassibs. Love the Triple Threads.
Look at these patch cards!
If you have read this blog, you know how I feel about Crown Royale auto silhouettes!
Then I found this. AMAZING!
Overall, my mind was blown. The surprise alone was amazing, but looking at what the contents were, wow. I am still speechless.
I would like to say a MONSTER THANK YOU to The Pack Gambler. They will be missed! It's really hard to lose someone great and trustworthy for the hobby but hopefully someday The Pack Gambler will return to full force.
I just have to end this again with another thank you to The Pack Gambler. Words cannot express the thanks for your kindness as your kind gesture will remain in my memory forever. Good luck on your next journey and keep in touch!
