Trend Towards Plant Automation Drives the Market for Automotive Industrial Robotics, According to New Trend Report Published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a trend report on Automotive Industrial Robotics. Market for Automotive Industrial Robotics is projected to witness strong growth led by growing focus on factory automation and increased adoption of flexible production systems.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 06, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Automotive manufacturing is one of the primary applications of industrial robots where they are used to handle repetitive, assembly line tasks. Continuous development and maturation of robotics technology has helped drive adoption of robotics in the automotive industry over the last two decades. Healthy automobile production and sales in developing countries is forecast to generate demand for next-generation robot manipulators. Growing pricing pressures and the subsequent need to reduce production costs against a backdrop of steadily increasing labour costs is resulting in increased commissioning of automotive robots in new manufacturing plants.
The trend report titled "Automotive Industrial Robotics" announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., is a focused research paper which provides cursory insights into the market, technology, its evolution, applications, future prospects, and corporate initiatives of key companies worldwide. The report also provides coverage on key companies such as ABB Ltd., Adept Technology Inc., Comau SpA, Daihen Corporation, Doolim Robotics Co.

Don't get me wrong: Even if Keep it Like a Secret is already being heralded as a masterpiece of guitar excess emboldened by emotional egress, Martsch is no rock hero. Unless you count "guitar hero," which, from a look at the Billboard charts, doesn't count for much. At first sight, the private Idaho he shares with Plouf, Nelson, his wife, Karena, and 5-year-old daughter is very much his own. Martsch is too humble for post-grunge angst (he ditched that scene after his first band, Seattle's Treepeople, split), too earnest for slacker pop-pastiche (though his guitar jags reference quite a bit), and too engaged for Elliott Smith's softy solipsism.
At his best he is a hesitant inheritor of great Reagan-era quest-punks like the Minutemen's D. Boon and the Meat Puppets' Curt Kirkwood. I think of the Puppets singing "lost on the freeway again...I'm getting' tired of living Nixon's mess, lost on the freeway again," with stoned bemusement at their own detachment. Then I think of Boon turning those lines into Molotov cocktails.
Though Martsch struggles to find his forebears' oppositional angst, he doesn't even know whose mess he's supposed to detest. (Opposition was easier back when every tomorrow was Morning in America; in Clinton's country the politics of disgust are so complex you almost need a research grant to figure out whom to shoot first.) Looking out his window on "Center of the Universe," he becomes physically sick. "I don't like this air," he cries before shirking off any agency over the matter: "But that doesn't mean I'll stop breathing it." Looking in his neighbors' windows he sees a reflection of himself "watching the TV/Hating what you see/Waiting for someone to say something that's right." Then he becomes sicker, mainly because he suspects that he wouldn't know "right" from a truncheon in the kidneys. A few years back, Martsch and bassist Nelson's band Caustic Resin recorded a wonderfully painful hand-wringer called "When Not Being Stupid Is Not Good Enough." It's like that.
Martsch's awareness never really goes beyond amazement at his own dislocation from a society that can hardly replicate the safety and community of his chosen subculture: For him, driving to Portland to see scene-brethren Modest Mouse is a political act. And while his bohemian integrity is endearing, it's also a bit of a cop-out. So it makes sense that when he strives for connection, he often ends up grasping at apparitions: "You've become/A fraction of the sun," he sings to one of the album's vague characters--a friend in need or an addict, perhaps. Likewise, the unnamed foil in many of these songs--the dubious "You" to Doug's empathetic "I"--is never made knowable before Martsch's guitar gets its wings and he's forced to follow it into the ether.
The exception is the anthem his advocates at big, bad Warner Bros. Records might herald after Secret moves only 60,000 units and the boys on the board veto a contract renewal. On "You Were Right," Martsch pins down his melody and never lets it go, dragging us through a series of the lamest classic-rock clichés imaginable. "You were right when you said all we are is dust in the wind...you were right when you said all that glitters isn't gold," he sings with melodramatic sincerity. The sentiments have never sounded weaker, dumber.
There are a lot of ways you can interpret Martsch's reading: It's stoner satire; it's a lazy set of dummy lyrics that never were replaced with real ones; it's a spoiled child throwing away his inheritance, broken toy by broken toy. It's pop eating itself the way pop always eats itself, as if the last record of the guitar era is going to swallow every cynical classic-rock lie that came before it. Here we know who our enemies are, and this is where Doug Martsch lives up to his lineage. "Do!/You!/Ever think about it!?" he demands as the guitar mass starts mushrooming over the horizon.

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
If you're taking a matter to the Australian Takeovers Panel, which rules on disputes that arise during transactions, there's a fair chance a woman will be part of the three-member team that decides the fate of your deal.
Members of the panel for the three years to March 2016 were named Wednesday, and the three additions are Fiona Gardiner-Hill, Denise McComish and Elizabeth Hallett.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, Bernie Ripoll, said the Government was committed to increasing the representation of women on boards.
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission has long had a "Truth in Takeovers" policy, under which bidders who have said they won't offer a higher price are prevented from later increasing their bid. The Takeovers Panel most recently enforced that policy earlier this year by declaring "unacceptable circumstances" in the takeover battle for Ludowici.
In the U.S., we do not have a similar rule. In fact, our rules create a dynamic which is almost the opposite of the "Truth in Takeovers" policy. In the U.S., a statement by a bidder that it does not intend to raise its offer is treated just as a statement of intent—-something that can be changed if the bidder changes its mind. Of course, even in the U.S., if a bidder were to lie about its intent, for example by saying it would not increase its price while planning to do exactly that, this would violate U.S. law just as in Australia.
How rare are win-win situations? Here's one.
The Australian Takeovers Panel Tuesday ruled that it will not prohibit FLSmidth from proceeding with any takeover for Ludowici in excess of A$7.20 a share.
Current shareholders are now looking at a generous A$11 a share offer from the Danish company, who made a A$7.20 a share offer on Jan. 23 at more than double the A$3.50 a share mark Ludowici had last traded at on Jan. 20.
Denmark's FLSmidth obviously has its heart set on ASX-listed mining services player Ludowici.
Only hours after London-listed The Weir Group submitted a binding offer valuing Ludowici at 357 million Australian dollars (US$382.5 million) after completing due diligence, FLSmidth raised its offer to A$388 million, or A$11/share.

Investment charmer. That's how Odisha CM Navin Patnaik is known in the corporate sector. Even his political rivals do not hesitate to admire him when it comes to getting big fat investment proposals to the state. His penchant for industrialisation has often been criticised as bending laws to favour industry. However, there seems to be a twist in the tale. Navin can be equally harsh and unsympathetic to industry when it comes to promoting golf. That's not all, the state government can flout rules to extend undue favour to the state's lone private golf body i.e. the Bhubaneswar Golf Club (BGC). The Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation of Odisha (IDCO), a state government undertaking, gave away 36 acres of prime land in the heart of the capital city of Bhubaneswar to BGC, originally meant for IT companies. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in its recent report on Odisha has pointed out that IDCO's decision to award the land meant for setting up IT firms to BGC on the ground of "permissive possession" was irregular and arbitrary. Due to the undue favour to BGC, the state exchequer lost around Rs 180 cr of revenue, the report says.
The Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation of Odisha (IDCO) was set up in 1981 as a state government undertaking to facilitate the rapid and orderly establishment of Industries, Trade and Commerce in the state. In 2001, IDCO acquired 205 acres of government land to set up Infocity Industrial Estate and create high quality infrastructure facilities for setting up export oriented IT firms. Of the 205 acres, IDCO allotted 30 acres to BGC (August 2001) on permissive possession after signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), according to which, BGC was allowed only surface use of the land for developing greenery and a golf course at a meagre Rs 10,000 per annum. Though the land was not coming under the permissive possession category, IDCO overruled the Revenue Department notification and allotted the land to BGC, the report has pointed out. There was a stipulation in the beginning to construct a permanent structure thereon, since the land was to be provided to software companies as and when demand arose.
Surprisingly, an audit noticed that though nine applications (May-August 2009) for allotment of 19.30 acre land were received to set up IT industries, these units were denied on the plea of non-availability of land. Due to such irregular permissive possession, IT companies were deprived of land in Bhubaneswar, the report says. Due to the denial of land to IT companies, the state lost huge investments and employment opportunities. "The Navin Patnaik government plays a dual role in land allotment, it allots land to those who are powerful and influential. Industrialisation is a limited slogan and is used mostly to give away valuable land to people close to the government," senior BJP leader Bishnu Das said.
IDCO allotted one more acre of land to BGC (Feb 2003) for construction of a permanent golf pavilion at Rs 5 lakh per acre against the government rate of Rs 25 lakh, resulting in an undue benefit of Rs 20 lakh to the club. BGC then constructed a pavilion without obtaining requisite approval of the building plan. However the BGC disapproves of the CAG's claim of violation of rules by the club. "We have not violated any rules in either taking the possession of the land nor construction. Rather the state industry department facilitated in setting up the club," says J B Pani, Secretary of BGC.
However, the club was in irregular possession of 36.535 acres as per the July 2010 report of the Executive Engineer (civil). Thus there was undue benefit extended to BGC. Due to the favour shown to BGC, the state lost revenue to the tune of Rs 178 crore, the CAG report said.
Interestingly, the present CMD of IDCO Vishal Dev, who is also the member of Bhubaneswar Golf Club, declined to comment on the findings of the CAG report.

Vanilla adds a hint of sweetness to a nutty brown butter sauce for gnocchi. Toasted hazelnuts lend the dish textural contrast and even more nutty flavor. Photo credit: Eva Kosmas from Adventures in Cooking.
1 package (1 pound) gnocchi
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Rosemary Leaves
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup toasted chopped hazelnuts
Cook gnocchi as directed on package. Drain well. Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet on medium heat 4 minutes or until nut brown in color and aroma. Add garlic, sugar, vanilla, salt and rosemary; cook and stir 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant and sugar is dissolved.
Stir in cooked gnocchi and spinach. Cook and stir 1 minute or just until spinach is slightly wilted. Stir in cream and hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
(Amount per serving)
I loved the vanilla essence mixed with the umami flavors. I added mushrooms to the recipe as well. Perhaps this is for less traditional tastes, and the less adventurous might not care for it as much.

Helping or Hovering? The Effects of Helicopter Parenting on College Students' Well-Being

Parental involvement is related to many positive child outcomes, but if not developmentally appropriate, it can be associated with higher levels of child anxiety and depression. Few studies have examined the effects of over-controlling parenting, or "helicopter parenting," in college students. Some studies have found that college students of over-controlling parents report feeling less satisfied with family life and have lower levels of psychological well-being. This study examined self-determination theory as the potential underlying mechanism explaining this relationship. College students (N = 297) completed measures of helicopter parenting, autonomy supportive parenting, depression, anxiety, satisfaction with life, and basic psychological needs satisfaction. Students who reported having over-controlling parents reported significantly higher levels of depression and less satisfaction with life. Furthermore, the negative effects of helicopter parenting on college students' well-being were largely explained by the perceived violation of students' basic psychological needs for autonomy and competence.

Women an essential part of peace-building
"There will be no significant rehabilitation or reconstruction of war-torn societies without women," the Mindanao Commission on Women (MCW) and the Mothers for Peace Movement said in a statement hailing the recent signing of the "Framework Agreement." The agreement between the government and the MILF paves the way for the creation of the "Bangsamoro" that will take the place of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and for the reign of peace in Mindanao.
In addition, the women's groups hailed the "critical roles played by women members of the peace panel and technical committees who were instrumental in the crafting of this historic agreement." The groups also commended "the many Bangsamoro women who have relentlessly pursued diverse and creative ways to end the conflict and push for a peace agreement that would include their meaningful participation in the creation of a new entity for their people."
A particular demand of the MCW and Mothers for Peace was that women representatives should be appointed to the 15-member Transition Committee (Transcom) that will be formed and will oversee the establishment of the Bangsamoro by 2016.
Signed by Irene M. Santiago, chair emerita and CEO of the MCW and convenor of the Mothers for Peace Movement, the statement aired additional demands it deemed necessary in the "post-conflict" period: enact special protocols governing women's participation and gender equality that shall form part of the peace agreement; empower women to be the drivers of economic growth by putting appropriate resources in their hands quickly; and create mechanisms to ensure the full implementation of UN SCR 1325 and 1820 that would guarantee protection of women in conflict areas, promotion of human rights, and participation of women in all levels of decision-making in the peace process.
* * *
The MCW is an NGO composed of women leaders, most of them based in Mindanao, whose mission is "to influence public policy and public opinion."
With the Mothers for Peace, the group said it is "committed to support the Bangsamoro political entity," while asserting that "women's voices are necessary in peace-building not only because women and their children are victims of war but also because women can provide perspectives on how broken relationships may be restored and healed, and how resources may be allocated to address unjust political, economic and social structures that are at the root of the Mindanao conflict."
On quite another aspect of "women's participation" in the immediate post-conflict period, now is the time to ensure that more women, including Muslim women, become active in the task of peacekeeping and law enforcement both in Bangsamoro and the rest of Mindanao.
In a conversation with police director Lina Sarmiento, she mentioned that now is the time for speeded-up recruitment of young Muslim women to enlist in the police and military force, as well as to enroll in the PNP Academy or the Philippine Military Academy.
"Now is the time for them to start training for active duty," Sarmiento declared, saying that by the time the Bangsamoro is created, there will be an urgent need for a corps of women officers ready to assume decision-making duties in the new political entity.
As some have observed, today's model of law enforcement and peacekeeping demands not so much brawn (although that may still be needed from time to time) as the ability to talk one's way through a potential conflict, resolving with words and with dialogue what would otherwise be settled by the use of arms and violence. And as men have long promoted the stereotype, if there is one thing women are good at, it's talking. But hey, if conflicts can be settled by talking instead of shooting, maiming and killing, so much the better!
* * *
Found this reflection on "peace," written by the late Blessed Pope John Paul II, in, of all places, the menu folder of the restaurant managed by the nuns of "L'eau Vive in Asia."
L'eau Vive (or living waters) is an international order of religious women. The order has been in the country since the late 1970s, running their French-themed restaurant in Paco as their form of "witness" and "outreach." If I may diverge, my husband and I began patronizing the restaurant even before we got married, but returned to it only recently. We found the same quality of food that made L'eau Vive such a byword in the local restaurant scene, but at very reasonable prices. Do yourself a favor and drop by soon!
To return to the late Pope's message of peace, I found it inspiring and challenging, particularly in this time of our nation's history. May these words of JPII lead us to meaningful reflection on just how "peace" can be achieved, and what it demands:
"Construct peace in Love. Peace has its dimensions and its demands. What does this signify in practice? How can peace become the reality of our lives, the reality of our world? It is often repeated:
• if you desire Peace, work for justice
• if you desire Peace, proclaim the truth
• if you desire Peace 'Do for others what you want them to do for you.'
"In a word, if you desire Peace you must love: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.'
"All of these demand a personal effort and discipline. It implies that you accept yourself and others as creatures of God, as children of God, dependent human beings, for our happiness is a law of God that is His plan on our lives. In harmony with ourselves, you will find strength and union. You will find the peace of Christ."

On the Origin and Evolution of Icicle Ripples
October 10, 2013
These are movies of three icicles grown under identical conditions of ambient temperature, water supply rate, and nozzle temperature. (1) was made with distilled water only; (2) was made with distilled water plus NaCl with a mass fraction of (8.0 +/- 0.2 X 10^{-5}; (3) was made with distilled water plus NaCl with a mass fraction of (1.278 +/- 0.002) X 10^{-3}. The icicle grows from a rotating support over a period of about 10 hours. The support looks like its rotating fast, but actually takes about four minutes per rotation.

Kathleen Horan, Reporter, WNYC News
Kathleen Horan is a staff reporter for New York Public Radio, covering the neighborhood beat. She also reports 'Reset', an ongoing series documenting police-community relations in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
CUNY's Board of Trustees hopes to put a controversy to rest, now that a panel has voted to give Pulizer-Prize winning playwright Tony Kushner an honorary degree. The honor was put on hold last week after one trustee -- Jeffrey Wiesenfeld -- offered a critique on the playwright's views on Israel.
On Monday night, six trustees on the board's executive committee voted unanimously to grant a degree of doctor of letters to Kushner. (The board's chairman, Benno Schmidt, who called for the meeting, did not cast a vote as he was out of the country.)
During the meeting, which lasted less than 30 minutes, trustees spoke about Kushner's body of work and his enormous artistic contributions. Trustee Kathleen Pesile expressed remorse for delaying granting the honor to Kushner.
"At the end of the day, we are now correcting it because it benefits CUNY," said Pesile. "And we will not get another chance to remove this blemish."
Kushner (pictured left) had been one of a slate of candidates nominated by the university's various colleges, which are usually given pro forma approval by the board. But at a public board meeting on May 2, Trustee Wiesenfeld quoted statements from Kushner he said he found on Norman Finkelstein's Web site. Wiesenfeld also said Kushner had supported a boycott of Israel, and that the playwright sat on the board of Jewish Voice for Peace, "which opposed the security fence, a unified Jerusalem or military aid to Israel."
Kushner said Wiesenfeld's statements were nonsense, that he did not support a boycott of Israel, he did sit on the Jewish Voice for Peace (although he disagreed with the organization on a number of issues), and that clearly Wiesenfeld had not read anything he had written.
The playwright said he was bothered that Wiesenfeld's remarks went unchallenged by the other 11 trustees during the May 2 meeting.
"So, at a public hearing, to allow one of their members to, you know, trade in the kind of garbage that this guy Wiesenfeld was trading in, and to say nothing, is really kind of disturbing," Kushner said. "Rather than having the discussion they should have had, they simply tabled my nomination."
After the board voted to table the nomination, it received over 400 emails -- all but five demanding Kushner receive the degree, according to trustee Sandi Cooper who chairs the University Faculty Senate.
CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein said he helped to convene a new vote at the May 9th meeting so more trustees could have a say.
"I think the basic misstep was that there wasn't a counter-punch at that," said Goldstein. "I think all of us were surprised about that."
The union representing CUNY faculty has called for Weisenfeld to resign his seat. But Wiesenfeld said in an e-mail he was standing firm: "My term concludes, by law, on June 30, 2013."
Kushner said he would accept the degree.
"The meeting of the board's executive committee last night is the direct result of the enormous protest mounted in defense of free thought and open discussion by the CUNY community, and I'm very honored to accept the degree and the affiliation with these brilliant scholars and activists!" Kushner said in an e-mail to WNYC. "I look forward to the expansion of the public inquiry this situation has ignited into the nature of the relationship between the Board of Trustees and the university it serves. I believe it'll prove to be a salutary and consequential debate."
Where are these arab gas ovens? I am kind of curious.
Kushner and others like him seek the death of another 5.5 million Jews in the Arab gas ovens. Therefore anyone who supports the Arab cause is an instigator of mass murder. That is the only issue. We German Jews know all about that. Ask us.
Democracy Now! aired an exclusive interview with Tony Kushner today, where he spoke at length about the degree crisis, his thoughts on the Israel-Palestine conflict and his new play, The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures, that is currently playing at The Public Theater NY. I highly recommend this must-watch interview [It is easily accessible online at: www.democracynow.org

Photos: Cochon 555 In San Francisco
May 21, 2012 4:31 pm
Who took home the prince of pork title in SF?
Cochon 555 is a 10-city tour that is lardcore to the core. It's a type of offal exhibition rarely seen outside of a Fergus Henderson birthday party. At each of the stops, five local chefs compete with one goal in mind — to cook every last morsel of a particular breed of heritage hog, like Red Wattle, Hampshire and Berkshire.
On Sunday, five local chefs hit the The Fairmont for an epic nose-to-tail throwdown. Those chefs include Traci Des Jardins (Jardiniere), Jason Fox (Commonwealth), Nico Borzee (Bouche), Anthony Strong (Locanda) and Thomas McNaughton (Flour + Water). And the winner is… See below!

Flood gates closed along Omaha riverfront
By Katie Knapp Schubert
Omaha, NE – Flood gates have been installed at Lewis and Clark landing in Omaha as the Missouri river rises to near-record levels.
Omaha Public Works officials closed the flood gates Sunday. Flood stage at Omaha is 29 feet. Public Works Director Bob Stubbe says the river is expected to remain at that stage through Tuesday as the Corps of Engineers gradually releases water from the Gavins Point Dam. A Flood Warning is in effect for the Missouri river at Omaha until further notice.
Omaha Public Works employees also began sandbagging Sunday at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Flooding caused Omaha's Parks and Recreation department to close NP Dodge Park Thursday. Parks Director Melinda Pearson says Freedom Park could close next.
The record flood stage at Omaha is 30.3 feet, set in 1993. Stubbe says additional releases of water from the Gavins Point Dam, on the Nebraska-South Dakota border, will send the river level to near 34 feet in Omaha by the end of June. At 30 feet, flood walls are installed at the riverfront.
In Bellevue, Haworth Park is closed due to rising water. City officials say water is over the road at the Haworth Park marina and is seeping in to the park.

8:09 a.m. ET with morning market action and comments from BernsteinResearch analyst Steven Winoker.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- GE Capital plans to churn out even more cash than it did last year.
The board of directors of General Electric's (GE - Get Report) financial services subsidiary said on Monday it planned to pay the parent company a total of $6.5 billion in dividends during 2013, increasing from $6.4 billion during 2012.
GE Capital's regular dividends are planned to be 30% of operating earnings. During the first quarter, GE Capital paid the parent company a regular $447 million dividend to the parent, based on the financial segment's operating performance.With strengthening credit quality and a shrinking balance sheet, GE Capital plans again to kick large special dividends upstairs, to reduce the financial arm's excess capital. During 2013, GE Capital plans to make $4.5 billion in special dividend payments GE Capital had $529.5 billion in total assets as of March 31, declining from $573.5 billion in total assets a year earlier. The financial segment has been rumored to be considering selling its private label U.S. credit card portfolio, with loan balances of roughly $31 billion. Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Erika Penala suggested earlier this month that Citigroup (C - Get Report) would be the ideal purchaser for the portfolio, following the bank's deal to acquire Capital One's (COF - Get Report) private label card portfolio, in a deal that is expected to be completed in September.
General Electric CEO said in the company's press release on Monday that GE Capital's announcement "is consistent with our goal to reduce the overall size of GE Capital and for it to return significant cash to GE," and that GE Capital "ended the
