The Pump Chek is an all metal pressure sealing valve designed to provide a pressure barrier to isolate ESPs and preventing fall-back on the pump on ESP shutdown - a known cause of ESP failure. Typically installed to an ESP completion above the pump, the Pump Chek incorporates an integral flapper featuring a unique 'burst disc'. This can be manufactured to a pre-determined pressure rating (burst ratings: 1,000 - 4,000 psi) to allow rupturing of the disc should it be required to permanently equalise (open) the valve. Alternatively, the burst disc may also be activated using wireline or coiled tubing operations.
It is typically used in a Dual ESP completion in which the lower pump is simply hung from the tubing instead of using a Y-tool. In this case, running an NRV would result in pulling a wet string, so the Pump Check's drain feature is a necessity. The Pump Check can also be configured as a way of setting hydraulically set packers or conducting tubing tests when running an ESP. The Pump Check is available in tubing sizes from 2-3/8" to 4-1/2", in carbon steel, 13-Chrome, or customer specified material and also allows pressure testing of production tubing and the setting of hydraulically operated tools such as packers.Top

The yield responses of all the cultivars to different weather events were relatively similar within northern and central Europe, within southern European countries, and specifically regarding durum wheat. We also found serious Europe-wide gaps in wheat resilience, especially regarding yield performance under abundant rain. Climate resilience is currently not receiving the attention it deserves by breeders, seed and wheat traders, and farmers. Consequently, the results provide insights into the required learning tools, economic incentives, and role of public actors.
Food security relies on the resilience of staple food crops to climatic variability and extremes, but the climate resilience of European wheat is unknown. A diversity of responses to disturbance is considered a key determinant of resilience. The capacity of a sole crop genotype to perform well under climatic variability is limited; therefore, a set of cultivars with diverse responses to weather conditions critical to crop yield is required. Here, we show a decline in the response diversity of wheat in farmers' fields in most European countries after 2002–2009 based on 101,000 cultivar yield observations. Similar responses to weather were identified in cultivar trials among central European countries and southern European countries. A response diversity hotspot appeared in the trials in Slovakia, while response diversity "deserts" were identified in Czechia and Germany and for durum wheat in southern Europe. Positive responses to abundant precipitation were lacking. This assessment suggests that current breeding programs and cultivar selection practices do not sufficiently prepare for climatic uncertainty and variability. Consequently, the demand for climate resilience of staple food crops such as wheat must be better articulated. Assessments and communication of response diversity enable collective learning across supply chains. Increased awareness could foster governance of resilience through research and breeding programs, incentives, and regulation.
See: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/1/123
Figure 2: Increase in the climate resilience of European wheat with increasing response diversity. The main figure shows the decrease in the variation in the percentage yield response to the weather patterns (agroclimatic PCs) critical to yield due to the increase in the number of weather response clusters considered. All of the cultivar yield data were utilized (n = 100,985). The box shows how combining cultivars from different clusters increases the yield stability under weather variability. The three exemplary cultivars (dark, yellow and green heads) represent clusters 1, 3 and 5, respectively, from Caslav, Czechia and were selected based on the largest number of observations and similar average yields (n = 78). If the cultivation area was evenly divided among the three cultivars from 2001 to 2007 in comparison with the cultivation of only the cultivar with the highest total yield (Apache), a 2% loss in total yield appeared, but the SD among the years declined by 16–32%. The relative size of the heads refers to the relative annual yields of the three cultivars.

Summer is a wonderful time of year. It's a time to enjoy the great outdoors, celebrate with friends and family, and relax while the kids are out of school. Summer is also a season when burn injuries can happen.
"We all know campfires and fireworks are part of special summer memories," says Annette Newman, MS, RN CCRN Community Outreach and Burn Disaster Coordinator for University of Utah Health. "They are also the two main causes of serious burn injury."
Campfire safety starts with planning where to put the fire and how to build it. Whether or not a designated fire pit is available make sure that you are building your fire at least 15 feet downwind of your tent, and anything that is flammable. When you start building your fire try to keep it as small as possible and make sure you have water nearby to extinguish it at a moment's notice. Once the fire is going, do what you can to keep it contained.
"Never use any kind of accelerant like gasoline which can lead to a fire quickly getting out of control," said Newman. "Also, never throw anything into the fire other than wood. Paper or other trash could blow out of the fire and spread the flames."
All parents know that it's not a good idea to let kids get too close to a campfire. That's why we all pack long retractable forks for roasting marshmallows or cooking hot dogs in the fire. The American Burn Association says that distance should be at least three feet from the fire's edge.
"This is what we call the 'circle of safety,'" Newman says. "It not only makes it less likely that someone will fall into the fire, but also lessens the risk of sparks causing a burn injury."
While most people focus on the risk of burn injuries from flames, the real risk comes from embers that are left behind after the fire dies down. The burn association reports that 70 percent of campfire burns are ember caused. This is because embers can stay hot enough to cause a severe burn up to 12 hours after a fire has been extinguished.
"The best way to extinguish a fire is to pour water on it until you are sure it is completely cool," says Newman. "Burying it will allow it to stay hot and increase risks of burns and wildfires."
Like embers, sparklers appear to pose little danger. But in reality, the small fireworks that are staples of July celebrations can reach temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit – hotter than a blowtorch.
These and all other fireworks should be kept out of the reach of children and used with the utmost caution. "A designated, sober adult should light fireworks in an area that is free of flammable material like grass or brush," said Newman. "They should light them one at a time and move away quickly to avoid injury."
It's a good idea to plan for the disposal of fireworks before you even start lighting them. Have a large bucket of water on hand to place spent fireworks in after they have been lit. Make sure they are completely spent before placing them in the bucket, because even spent fireworks can be hot enough to burn.
The best way to avoid a burn injury from a firework is to avoid them altogether. There are plenty of other fun ways to make some celebratory noise – like confetti poppers, colored streamers, or glow sticks. You also can get your fireworks fill by attending large displays put on by professionals who follow stringent safety guidelines.
Of course, there are going to be times that burn injuries occur. When they do, be prepared with the four C's: cool, clean, cover and call:
- Cool the burn area with cool (not cold) water to remove the heat from the skin.
- Clean the area with a mild, non-perfumed soap to prevent infection.
- Cover the burn with a clean cloth or gauze.
- Call for help if needed. "If an injury appears to be serious seek medical help," Newman says. "It is always better to be safe than sorry."

Technology has always been very kind to people. Technology makes many inventions possible to make and those inventions are really helpful for human life. There are many examples of technological product that are already being used to help human life such as cars, telephone, and the internet. But just like any other things in the world, everything is made in balance so if there is good effect of something there must be bad effect on the other side.
The obvious example is the usage of computer and internet. The usage of these two technological invention is keep on increasing and increasing since the technology price is getting cheaper and people are no starting to realize those two things are so important in life. But on the other hand, if we do not use those things carefully, your computer and network might be infected by viruses. Virus is a bad program made by bad person just to destroy and simply to disturb someone's computer and network. Some of the viruses are not so damaging, but some others can even wipe out the entire data that you have. If you are working in a company with such enormous amount of data stored, you better find a way to backup the data or your company may have problems in its business continuity when the data loss.

After what has felt like the longest yet shortest wait of all time. The surgery is done.
We left at half past 6 in the morning. Lincoln was still snoring peacefully in bed and that really upset me. As stupid as it sounds and all I kept trying to remind myself is that it wasn't brain surgery, I was just having a cyst removed, but the idea of not having a big sloppy kiss from my little terror on such a frightening day really saddened me. Even for him to just ignore me as I wave goodbye out the window would have been enough but I left him sleeping peacefully whilst his Grandad prepared himself for the debacle that is the morning routine.
By 7.30 we were in the hospital.. waiting.. My name was on the board. This was really happening. And then the fire alarm goes. Twice. Really?! We were called in to another room, I answered what felt like a million questions I had to remove every bit of jewellery and was then given at least 5 different tablets, a stunning gown to wear and then we sat and waited some more. As we waited the hospital room slowly filled with more and more women all coming for an operation of some description. They all went through the same process. The nurse was brilliant she handled everything with such ease and care, she was super friendly and made everything so much easier.
After what felt like forever the nurse -Lonia, told me it was time to go up. Tom went off for breakfast (lucky sod I was starving!) I was laid on to a bed in the anaesthetic room, I had a cannula put in my arm and thats it. Thats all I can remember next thing I know my vision is incredibly blurry and I hurt. I can't sit up, I can't breath properly, no matter what I do I can't catch my breath so they give me oxygen and then I'm being wheeled back down to the hospital ward dozing in and out. Tom was waiting for me, there really is nothing more reassuring than seeing your fiancee face after being in around so many nameless faces. I came around and had to have my stitches looked at. we filled out more paperwork. I got dressed with a lot of help from Tom and we were on our way home. Everything went by so quick! I was still thriving off the morphine and painkillers so even though I knew I hurt I couldn't actually feel it. Its the most bizarre feeling.
We stopped for Ice cream because as Tom always says as we drive past the otter vale Ice cream place 'Its rude not too' I don't actually remember how we got their. I remember eating the ice cream and then being at home. I don't remember the journey home at all. Apart from the speed bump coming in to our little village. That I remember clearly.
That night I slept terribly. The morphine was totally out of my system. Every movement I could feel. Nothing made me comfortable. I woke up and all Lincoln wanted to do was be next to me. Jump next to me. I was so tense I burst in to tears. He hadn't hurt me, he hadn't touched me but I was so scared of how much it already hurt and how much it would hurt just having him bounce next to me sent me to tears. I felt awful, He didn't understand, he doesn't know whats going on. Over the past couple of days I have felt awful not just through the pain but through the want to pick my boy up when he cries. I want to hold him and play with him. Its more than likely all of my emotions from all the painkillers I've had to take but the hurt in my heart of wanting to cuddle my baby and see his face so sad when he asks for a carry.
I am the worst patient. I am the worst sick person. I don't do bed rest. I don't do staying still and resting. I can't do it. These past 2 days have killed me. I will lay their and then think of something I need to do. Which I don't actually need to do and I attempt to get up and then I end up in even more pain than I was before. I thought I was fine and attempted to wash up. I could barely stand up I was so exhausted.
Having to try and explain to Lincoln that Mummy can't pick him up for a while and that he can't climb on Mummy like a soft play area has been really difficult but he really has been amazing. He knows not to climb on me like he use to and already It's like he is in tune with whats going on. Even the dog follows me around like I should be using a zimmer frame. But the real hero in all of this has to be Tom. He has been amazing taking care of me. Making sure I have everything I need as well as taking care of Lincoln, the dog and the house. Who knew he could manage!!
We are now through day 2 of 'Recovery' I am still extremely swollen and so bruised! My stitches hurt beyond compare. Childbirth was more comfortable than this but, this is the end. The surgery is done. I know longer have to think about what sat on top of my ovary. I know longer have to worry about overdoing it and possibly twisting an ovary. Although the pain may be worse right now. It will get easier and then so much better!
Now I have to wait for my follow up appointment and a letter with the results on. Then this is all done. Everything is over with and we can continue with the wedding planning and providing everything goes back to normal I can finally start exercising again!

Whenever you consider blocks, you consider a lot of things for example individuals wood footwear put on through Chinese language employees or even individuals put on through landscapers along with other guide work employees. Lots of people outside the medical occupation don't realize which medical blocks tend to be quick getting the state footwear associated with healthcare professionals. It's turn out to be therefore well-liked which actually physicians along with other wellness professionals will also be putting on this.
What exactly are Blocks
Blocks tend to be particular kind of footwear or even shoes created partially associated with wooden and it is put on through differing people as well as lifestyle all over the world. Typically, this particular large shoes had been put on through employees and it is an easy method associated with protecting equipment for all those employed in industrial facilities, mines, as well as farming for instance. Through the years, the kind of supplies with regard to blocks offers transformed however the form continues to be exactly the same along with couple of modifications or even adjustments included to match a person's choice in order to lure individuals to put it on.
The reason why Healthcare professionals tend to be Drawn to Blocks
The actual medical occupation is actually 1 work that require probably the most comfy footwear or even feet put on. Several individuals work on minimum 12 several hours inside a specific change plus they perform lots of operating, strolling, as well as position or even going to in order to responsibilities as well as duties to assist sufferers get over their own ailments along with other wellness or even healthcare problems. Therefore, blocks give a comfy shoes. Private hospitals possess accepted blocks included in operating footwear; nevertheless, these people place particular limitations when it comes to style maintain along with insurance coverage needs.
The benefits of Blocks
Besides supplying comfort and ease, a few of the benefits of putting on blocks such as a few healthcare professionals perform, especially man healthcare professionals tend to be:
Non-slip shoes. In most cases, healthcare professionals tend to be pressured to operate upon different types of areas and in some cases, a number of this kind of areas are very slick. Like a health professional, it is necessary which they don't slide because they have together with all of them dangerous resources such as syringes, lifesaving medicines for example 4 transfusion, sutures and many more.
Non-marking single. Because of its gentleness within the single in contrast to additional difficult footwear, blocks don't depart shoes represents upon areas such as tiles. It's mentioned which footwear represents tend to be among the explanations why flooring tend to be broken. Putting on blocks will certainly obtain nods associated with authorization through individuals in the upkeep division since it simply leaves absolutely no represents upon flooring; therefore, they'll think it is simpler to thoroughly clean ground areas.
Simple to use as well as wear. Absolutely no shoelaces in order to connect as well as untie. You simply slide you within a set of blocks and also you will be ready to proceed.
It's very flexible. Provided it's the straps back again as well as satisfy the needs from the medical center, you are able to select any kind of colour as well as design; therefore, you don't need to appear dull inside it.
It's light-weight as well as long lasting. You won't endure tension as well as soreness since it is actually gentle as well as simple to put on. In contrast to large footwear, you'll need additional power in order to raise you to be able to function as well as operate.
When it comes to drawbacks, you need to personal a minimum of 2 sets associated with medical blocks to recognize that design, manufacturer, as well as colors is most effective for you personally.

Utilizing the 3D Systems anatomical modeling service, the surgeon provides a CT or MR scan of their patient and our team of engineers will process the data, design the model and 3D print it using our state of the art fleet of 3D printers. The model is then shipped to the surgeon for use in pre-surgical planning, pre-surgical rehearsal, educational purposes and can even be used in a sterile environment depending on the material.
SLA (Stereolithography) Models
SLA models are 3D Systems' premier offering for custom anatomical models. These highly accurate models of any anatomy begin with expert image processing of the CT/CBCT input data. SLA models are offered in opaque white and translucent with a unique ability for selective coloration whereby the model can contain a deep red coloration to highlight vital structures such as tumors, vascular structures or tooth roots. Following the medical imaging step, which reconstructs the two-dimensional images into three-dimensional files, these files are sent to our fleet of state-of-the-art stereolithography additive manufacturing machines. These machines typically produce single or multiple models over many hours, in a layered, additive fashion. Models are made in a biocompatible resin, which is UV-cured layer by layer by an ultraviolet laser. Once complete, the models are sent through our intensive quality control system and readied for shipment to the surgeon. SLA models can be sterilized, if needed, for reference in the sterile field during the surgical procedure. Typical turnaround can be from one to two weeks with faster turnaround possible for urgent needs.

The crown of Righteousness is a crown given us by the Lord after the good fight of faith, it is a great reward for following the one who died for to make us free! (2 Timothy 4:7-8). I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
For anyone who gains the wisdom of God and gets true understanding of its meaning will get a crown of glory. (Proverbs 4:5-9)….. (Proverbs 16:31).
There are so many temptations in this world, but just as Jesus was tempted with many things we too do the same by His power and grace given us and by doing so will receive the crown of life! (James 1:12-16). Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
At the crucifixion of Christ the platted crown of thorns He suffered can never be fathomed by any one of us, yet it was out of love He died and endured the cross to allow us to gain salvation and freedom from sin. (Matthew 27:27-31). Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

my photo
So far a great year for soft fruit. My raspberry canes which my Dad gave me a couple of years ago are producing a lot of fruits for me. I must confess not a lot are making it to the kitchen but today being an exception. I have bought a tub of cream and meringues and I am going to make an Eton mess! Crushed meringues and raspberries, mixed into whipped cream.
According to Robin Weir in Recipes From The Dairy, Eton mess was served in the 1930s in the school's sock (tuck) shop, and was originally made with either strawberries or bananas mixed with ice cream or cream. Meringue was a later addition. Nowadays, Eton mess consists of pieces of crisp meringue, lightly whipped cream and strawberries, all stirred together - hence the name 'mess' - Heston Blumenthal
A raspberry is made up from a cluster of pips surrounded by fruit pulp, all held together by a central core, which forms the berry.

My boys and I only just learned what Eton mess is from watching a Jamie Oliver DVD. We have plans to have it too, our raspberries are only just ripening and E keeps eating them all - leaving none for making desserts. Will you post a picture of your Eton mess so we can see what it looks like? It sounds so delicious.

You're at a party and you're about to take a ~fire~ photo with your squad but your hands feel awks. So what do you do?
You give the peace sign.
Hey, we've all done it! But according to Voactiv this cheeky, two-fingered pose puts you in serious risk of identity theft.
Apparently by exposing your fingers, internet scammers can access your fingerprints, kinda like how you can unlock your phone using your prints.
Researchers at Japan's National Institute of Informatics (NII) found that fingerprints from photos taken nine feet away from the subject using a digital camera can easily be copied.
"Just by casually making a peace sign in front of a camera, fingerprints can become widely available," researcher Isao Echizen told the Sankei Shimbun newspaper.
"Fingerprint data can be recreated if fingerprints are in focus with strong lighting in a picture."
Erm, well that sounds pretty damn scary.
The NII are so concerned by their latest discovery that they've developed a film that can be worn on fingertips to conceal your prints in photos.
That was the good news, the bad news is that this new technology won't be available for another two years.
So until then, either opt for awkwardly keeping your hands by your side or maybe just wear gloves in photos.

A happy and beautiful home is each one of our dream. 🙂 Once you purchase, rent or lease a house you put it so much effort to make it look the way you want and to bring a sense belongingness. Home decor is an art and I would say, some are the best at it and some doesn't bother. Curtains plays a vital role in home decor, especially in modern flat culture where there are more number of windows than walls 😀 It's very important that you need to select the perfect curtains that complements your wall as well as furnishings.
Do keep in mind there tips while you shop curtains for your new home:
- Measurement: Take measurement of each door and windows. Before you decide to buy make sure those curtain pieces will suit your windows and doors. You can still alter if the curtains bought are larger but make sure the curtain you choose are not smaller.
- Fabric: There are umpty number of options in curtain fabric, simple cotton curtains to fancy lace curtains to satin fabric. Choose the fabric wisely. For eg: For bedrooms you can choose nice lace curtains and for dining room something which doesn't become dirty easily and so on. Also choose a fabric which you can machine wash, if you don't want to give them for dry cleaning.
- Durability: If you are someone who love to change curtain every year you need not go for a fabric which are too durable. Opt for cheaper options in that case. On the other hand if you want to your home curtains to stay forever choose expensive curtains which are more durable. Machine wash will ruin expensive fabrics so give them for dry cleaning.
- Cost: It's all upon how much you want to spend. You'll get simple cheap curtains which may not be very durable. If you want an exotic look for your home, go for expensive options. You can still select cost effective options by wisely selecting rods and hooks(plastic ones are cheaper than metal). Check online stores for cheaper and discounted options.
- Kids curtains: Go for curtains with your kid's favorite cartoon characters and superheroes images printed on them. You can make your kids room look more interesting. Also don't forget to choose their favorite color 😀
- Choose your style: The style comes from your personality. You can either select a retro style curtain and give your room a vintage touch or choose more colorful options and add fun to you room. Try pastel shades and give an elegant touch to your home.You can also go for very simple curtain and give a very minimal look. Options are many, choose something which makes you feel happy when at home after a hectic day of work.

The Next Frontier in Automation: Opportunities, Challenges, and Impact — Opening Statement
We're entering a new era in automation as we begin to embrace smart automation and autonomous systems that can make and execute decisions in several areas with little human intervention. Advances in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, drones, robo-advisors, blockchain, 3D printing, and wearables are driving automation into the next frontier. The desire by businesses and industry to better exploit the potential of these technologies for improving decision making, productivity, reliability, customer service, and user interaction, and for reducing cost and errors is another factor driving automation to newer heights. The continuing desire to deploy novel applications for competitive advantage is also propelling automation into new areas to accomplish sophisticated tasks. Automation, which traditionally has been confined to within an enterprise, is now being extended to the enterprise's suppliers and customers and others in the supply chain, enriching integration and collaboration.
Today's ongoing smart automation efforts are promising and are poised to drastically transform the world — both in what we do and how we do it — for good, in large part. While smart automation is a welcome trend, it also raises technical, social, and ethical issues and challenges that need to be critically examined and satisfactorily addressed. In this issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal (CBTJ), we examine the next frontiers in automation: technologies, opportunities, challenges, and design guidelines.
Automation has evolved significantly over the past 50 years. It was first achieved by mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic means, followed by, and in combination with, electrical and electronic devices and, more recently, by microcomputers and computers. Now, with AI, Internet of Things (IoT), and other recently emerged technologies supporting automation in new ways, smart — or intelligent — automation has emerged.
Smart automation is rapidly infiltrating all industry sectors and, through its many incarnations, will affect our lives and work in myriad ways. We are striving to exploit the opportunities that the next frontiers in automation present. To gain dominance in this emerging area, competition is heating up among technology giants as well as startups. On the one hand, ongoing developments and the resulting possibilities are impressive and likely to further profoundly transform the world, benefiting business, industry, and people in general. On the other hand, concerns as to the ethical, reliability, and safety implications and the potential harmful effects of new automation applications on jobs, the economy, and geopolitical matters are troubling.
It is our responsibility to shape the future of automation for the good of all, satisfactorily addressing its potential harmful effects and any real concerns. As businesses start to implement smart technologies to automate processes and activities, we must look at automation with a new mindset, holistically, broadening our vision. We need to move from traditional opportunistic automation of processes, which offers incremental benefits, to systematic, organization-wide automation of processes to gain dramatic benefits across an organization's activities. However, we shouldn't blindly pursue and embrace automation without examining the need for it, its relevance, and its consequences.
Advanced automation is a new, strategic, technological and business imperative. In the next five to seven years, it will be pervasive and become the new normal, as everything that can be automated will be automated (subject to addressing any concerns). Organizations that fail to pay attention to the next frontiers in automation are putting themselves at risk. Start preparing now for the new world of automation, using this issue of CBTJ to help you in the endeavor.

We feature eight articles in this issue that cover a range of topics of interest — from technologies that drive and support new frontiers in automation, such as blockchain, AI, and security, to automation strategies and design considerations.
In our first article, Thomas Costello and Phil Laplante focus on the use of blockchain technology in automation applications. Following a brief outline of the benefits of using blockchain technology, they discuss blockchain's potential to provide transformational improvements in business process automation (BPA) in several industry sectors. They also highlight how blockchain could improve trust in, and the dependability of, BPA and examine the challenges in practical implementation of blockchain technology. Furthermore, they present a set of customizable questions to help implementers decide whether a business process is suitable for, and can benefit from, a blockchain implementation.
Next, Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Paul Clermont discusses the adoption and impact of AI for automation. After a brief history of AI, Clermont discusses the dangers AI poses. Though technologists have perceived the dangers for some time, he notes that only now are the dangers starting to draw the attention of ordinary citizens and politicians. On a positive note, he outlines the measures that government, the tech industry, regulatory agencies, and the public are taking to address major dangers that AI and its applications present. He emphasizes government's role in tackling the issues surrounding the use of AI and identifies a few specific areas that government should address.
The following article explores another hot topic: drones and their applications. Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Helen Pukszta outlines several potential enterprise applications of drones in different industry sectors with illustrative real-world examples. She briefly highlights how Part 107 of Chapter 14 of the US Code of Federal Regulations redefines commercial drone use and the risks drones pose. She also discusses the challenges and limitations of today's drones and how those concerns are being addressed. The barriers to employing drones for business are quickly melting away, and it's time to pursue the opportunities that drones present, she advises.
While modern automation systems offer several benefits, they also increase security risks, and securing these systems is a major challenge. Traditional techniques don't seem to be adequate to address the potential new security threats; we need a cybersecurity strategy that can counter cyberattacks effectively and efficiently. In her article, Prerna Lal discusses the use of ML techniques to address cyberthreats and explores the benefits of AI-based cybersecurity solutions.
The next four articles focus on automation design, a roadmap for robotic process automation (RPA), decision automation challenges and opportunities, and accountability of the algorithmic systems that play key roles in automation.
Aravind Ajad Yarra emphasizes that automation is most effective when humans and machines work together to deliver business outcomes and recommends that automation be designed in harmony with human experiences and business processes. He outlines three types of automation — experience automation, process automation, and platform automation — on which smart automation manifests, considers some smart automation fallacies, and examines how a design thinking approach can successfully be applied to smart automation, including a discussion of the three dimensions of design considerations for smart automation: human factors, systems and technologies, and business processes.
RPA, a technique that automates routine and repetitive human-system interactions across functional domains in several areas, is transforming the way that banks, insurers, and other firms execute basic processes. In his article, Mohan Babu K presents a roadmap for rolling out RPA and examines RPA solutions from key vendors. He then presents a snapshot of real-world stories of RPA adoption across industry domains and, based on his personal experience, recommends five key design topics to consider in rolling out scalable RPA solutions.
Decision automation is a technique that uses AI and other techniques to make routine, recurring decisions with higher decision speed, consistency, and accuracy. Daniel Power and Ciara Heavin discuss the need for — and the benefits of — automating decisions and decision processes and explore major areas of decision automation. They examine emerging, innovative sensing technologies — such as ambient intelligence and the IoT — that support decision automation and identify five major challenges and opportunities associated with deploying decision automation and sensors.
In our concluding article, Yiannis Kanellopoulos addresses a key issue that we need to satisfactorily tackle: the accountability of algorithmic systems. Automated decision making can go seriously wrong, and hence, evaluating an algorithmic system and the organization that utilizes it in terms of their accountability and transparency assumes ever greater importance. Such an evaluation, however, faces some key challenges, including the absence of a widely accepted evaluation standard and the reluctance — or refusal — of organizations to evaluate the system. His article presents a framework for assessing the transparency of an algorithmic system based on the way the system has been implemented and governed in terms of accountability. He recommends establishing and following such an evaluation process as a prerequisite for organizations to deploy an algorithmic decision-making system.
The Way Forward
We're now at the beginning of a new automated age. Like it or not, advanced intelligent automation will affect many areas in new ways, some of which we can't yet visualize. As smart automation, autonomous systems, and robo-advisors shape business, finance, industry, smart factories, healthcare, education, and other areas, new opportunities will arise for the IT industry and technology professionals. They should resolve to apply automation for good — for the benefit of both businesses and people — and not for any nefarious purpose.
Smart automation will be pervasive, and new, exciting, and helpful applications will emerge. Automation will also be disruptive, impacting businesses, the job landscape, and society. It will free up humans to spend more time on cognitive and high-value activities rather than on mundane and physical operations. It may also embrace both artificial and human intelligence working in harmony — man-machine collaboration — to address complex problems that neither can handle alone.
While the IT industry and business and technology professionals may be adept at designing and deploying innovative applications addressing key technology-related issues, they together also need to examine and address new issues such as:
How might we effectively address emerging cyberthreats that automation systems might encounter, including obscure, new, and unknown (future) threats that could be serious or even catastrophic?
How do we ensure that automation and algorithmic decision-making systems and humans work together collaboratively?
How can we test and evaluate smart automation systems and establish their trust-worthiness?
Are the concerns and fears around the possible threats posed by emerging, higher levels of automation with no or minimal human intervention overhyped or real, and how can we address them?
Should automation technologies and applications be regulated, and, if so, how and by whom?
What are the moral and ethical obligations and responsibilities of smart automation application developers and of those who embrace the applications?
We hope the articles in this issue present perspectives and ideas on a few key aspects of smart automation and that you find the articles interesting, insightful, and practical. We also hope they inspire you to harness the innovations pushing the next frontiers in automation.

|The new ships will be the first built for Carnival in 12 years. // Photo by IgorSPb/iStock/Getty Images Plus/Getty Images
Welcome back! A trio of new ship orders for Carnival Corp. and another hurricane prompting cruise itinerary changes in Mexico are leading the headlines in the travel industry this morning. Here's what you need to know.
Two New Ships for Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival Cruise Line has announced plans for two new ships. Slated for delivery in 2020 and 2022, the new ships, each of which will have a capacity of 5,200 passengers based on double occupancy, will be the first ships in North America to be powered by environmentally friendly liquified natural gas (LNG), Carnival said.
The new ships will be constructed by Meyer Turku at the company's Turku, Finland, shipyard, marking the first ships to be built in Finland for Carnival Cruise Line in 12 years. No word yet on further design and itinerary information.
Also as part of the same multi-ship order from parent company Carnival Corporation, P&O Cruises UK will also be getting a new ship in 2022. That ship will also be LNG-powered and built at Meyer Turku.
Hurricane Newton, Tropical Storm Hermine Prompt Cruise Itinerary Changes
In other cruise news, stormy weather is still disrupting cruise itineraries this week.
Hurricane Newtown, which made landfall this morning near Cabo San Lucas with sustained winds of 90 miles per hour, has prompted Carnival Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises to modify itineraries in Mexico, Cruise Critic reports. Carnival Miracle had to cancel a call at Cabo San Lucas yesterday and replace today's call at Mazatlan with a sea day. Seven Seas Mariner also cancelled a stop in Cabo San Lucas today, instead spending the day at sea.
Meanwhile, now-Tropical Storm Hermine continues to cause problems for cruise lines, Cruise Critic reports. Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruises modified the departure times of the September 4 sailings of Norwegian Breakaway and Celebrity Summit from New York, departing earlier than planned. Meanwhile, Holland America Line's Zuiderdam cancelled a port call in Halifax, Nova Scotia, yesterday, arriving today in New York one day ahead of schedule.
Also to be aware of: over the weekend Hermine created a reported rough ride for Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas on Sunday, ABC News reports. A video recorded by passenger Robert McHugh is making the rounds on social media:

New Controversy Over Cuba Travel Regulations in Congress
Shortly following last week's launch of commercial air service to Cuba for the first time in 50 years, a new controversy is brewing in Congress regarding travel restrictions to the country, The Hill reports. One the one side: Senate appropriators in favor of looser restrictions have approved an amendment that would lift the ban on Cuba tourism, with similar legislation getting over 50 cosponsors. On the other: in the House of Representatives, a majority on the Homeland Security Committee is pushing a bill that would ground flights to Cuba until a review of airport security is conducted. The stalemate is unlikely to yield any further legislative changes this year, according to The Hill's analysis.
Marches Protest Brexit Vote in Cities Across UK
In Europe, the Brexit saga continued over the weekend, with protestors in favor of closer ties between the UK and Europe holding rallies in London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol, the BBC reports. UK politicians Chuka Umunna, leader of the Labour Party, and Caroline Lucas, co-leader of the Green Party, supported the protests, along with comedian Eddie Izzard.
In other Brexit news, this morning all-business-class airline La Compagnie announced it is suspending its route between London and New York in favor of a second daily flight between Paris and New York, starting this October. The airline said the decision is "in view of the new economic climate and aviation landscape in Europe following the recent United Kingdom European Union membership referendum in June."
All customers booked on travel on the London - New York route after September 24 are eligible for a full refund or the option to rebook on the Paris - New York route free of charge, the airline said.

Introduction: Fischertechnik Spring Flower
This is a description of how to create a simple Spring flower model using fischertechnik elements!
I play with different educational manipulatives for a living. (Visit www.weirdrichard.com). Over the years I have built different holiday themed models using all sorts of toys. This instructable will describe how to create a model of a Spring flower!
Note: The CAD looking images were generated by LDraw/MLCAD and a fischertechnik elements library.
Step 1: Gather Your Parts!
You will need to gather your elements. The fischertechnik elements are available from a range of kits available from ebay, Craig's List, or fischertechnik retailers. Elements can be purchased individually from www.fischertechnik.com.
The List:
15 Angular Block 60 Degrees
5 Angular Block 30 Degrees
3 Building Block 30s
2 Building Block 15s
1 Base Plate 120x60
1 Building Block 5 with two Pins
6 Building Block 7.5s
6 Mounting Plate 15x30s
Step 2: Create the Stem
Stack three Building Block 30s into the eighth slot from either end and on the near side of a Base Plate 120x60. This will act as the stem of the flower.
Step 3: Leaf Assemblies
Add an Angular Block 60 on each end of a Building Block 15 to make a leaf. Make two leaf assemblies, and slide them down the sides of the Building Block 30 stack.
Step 4: First Petal
Slide a Building Block 5 with two Pins down the near face of the Building Block 30 stack. Fix a Building Block 7.5 on the block, and then a Mounting Plate 15x30 to act as the lowest petal.
Step 5: Keystone
Fix an Angular Block 60 on the top of the Building Block 30 stack. This block will act as a keystone that the rest of the flower assembly will slide onto. Set the model aside.
Step 6: The Flower
Create the rest of the flower assembly. Begin by combine five Angular Block 60s. Then add five more at a 90 degree angle to the previous blocks. Add five Angular Block 30s onto the previous Angular Block 60s. Slide Building Block 7.5s onto each Building Block 7.5. Finish the assembly by inserting five Mounting Plate 15x30s into each Building Block 7.5.
Step 7: Finish the Flower!
Slide the flower assembly onto the keystone located on the block stem. Enjoy your Spring time flower!

what are fischertechniks?
Howdy, fischertechniks are....awesome! LOL. They are a plastic manipulative made in Germany. You rarely see them in retail stores, being more of an education constructive. They have an extensive range of gears and building elements. Check out www.ftcommunity.de, and www.fischertechnik.com.
Ok, kinda like a super advanced K'nex?

When Disney announced that the Star Wars Expanded Universe had been rebranded as the Legends line and that a new, official Star Wars canon would replace it, I was a bit sad but overall, I was excited. While the Expanded Universe held a lot of great memories for me, it was never officially canon, and I was excited to see what a streamlined, considered canon would look like. I remember the early days of the EU, when Timothy Zahn had completed his trilogy, Dark Horse comics had Dark Empire and Tales of the Jedi under their belt, and new novels were being announced (Truce at Bakura and The Courtship of Princess Leia). But the EU was being created one piece at a time. There were early continuity issues with Dark Empire and Heir to the Empire. Both were great stories, but Heir showed the New Republic established on Coruscant and Leia was pregnant with twins while Dark Empire showed the Battle of Coruscant and Leia pregnant with a third Solo child. The workaround was the DE took place after the Thrawn Trilogy, after the Empire attempted to retake Coruscant, but this never seemed that satisfying to me. It was obvious that DE was intended to be the continuation from Return of the Jedi, but Heir beat it to release, and both happened to be good enough that whoever decides things wanted both of them to be in continuity. And they deserved it, but there were definitely bumps to smooth out. And Kevin J. Anderson seemed very interested in attempting to do so, weaving as many continuity references into his work as he could.
In the lead up to the prequels, however, the quality of Star Wars stories varied greatly (for me), and there was quite a bit of uncertainty about how the prequels would affect the EU. George Lucas could do whatever he wanted with his creation, and if he wrote something that contradicted the EU, his vision stood (though how to reconcile his contradictions with himself is still a bit of an issue). A systematic categorization system was eventually developed by fans. This system involved multiple layers of canonicity, and it was quite complex and existed before the term "head canon" came into play. There were general attempts to create a comprehensive EU, but there wasn't really an overriding vision until pretty late in the game, at which point we got the New Jedi Order, Legacy of the Force, and Fate of the Jedi. Dark Horse Comics had their own successful run at the time with Knights of the Old Republic, Dark Times, and Legacy. In general, the novels and comics didn't attempt to cross-pollinate creatively, and they usually focused on their own mini-eras. This could still lead to contradiction, but by focusing on specific time periods, they didn't need to worry too much about stepping on each others' toes in a continuity sense.
I had pretty much stopped following Star Wars at that point. The prequels devastated my already waning interest. I dipped back in on occasion and was generally satisfied with what I read, though there were as many misses as there were hits. And any time Timothy Zahn wrote something, I had to read it.
All this to say, I sympathize with and completely understand why Disney would wipe the slate clean. As much as I would like Zahn's work to stay firmly in continuity, the EU audience is still technically niche. For the most part, we will follow Star Wars in whatever form we get it. And speaking personally, I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who, so continuity issues are irritating but they don't break the experience for me. But the idea of having an official canon that weaves through movies, TV, comics, and books is kind of exciting. My only real concern is that this official status puts more weight on individual pieces. Before, a boring or disliked book could be ignored because it wasn't technically official. Now, it is official, whether we like it or not. And every work feels, to me, like it needs to contribute something worthy to the canon. There is a feeling that each work now has to justify its own existence because of its elevated, canonical status.
That's how it feels, at any rate. In reality, it doesn't really matter that much. There are good stories and there are bad stories and there are stories that fall all over the spectrum inbetween. Despite official canon, we can still pick and choose our head canon (even across the official and Legends lines, though there will now definitely be contradictions). And despite an official canon, I'm still very interested in reading through the Legends line. In fact, knowing that the Legends line has a definitive ending is encouraging. It is like knowing you can get a complete run of a comic series.
I had been thinking about blogging through the Legends line. I've also thought about blogging through the new canon line. In reality, I may do both, but not with any regular pace. Life and work are extremely busy right now, and sometimes I can't stand to be in front of a computer screen for reading/writing purposes when I get home. And with the way finances are at the moment (good, but recovering from my last couple of semesters of college), I won't be keeping up with Star Wars canonical books and comics as they come out. I prefer Star Wars books in paperback for some reason, and comics are beyond my budget at the moment. But hopefully I'll be able to catch up to the SW canon paperbacks soon. I've actually read New Dawn, Tarkin, and Heir to the Jedi. The urge to blog about them continues to nag at the fringes of my mind. Now that I've come up with a new review format, the chances of me taking the time to move forward on this project are more likely. I need this creative outlet. So if you are willing to read, I'll work on finding the time and mental energy to write.
