Blockchain Enables New Power Market

Blockchain Enables New Power Market Blockchain Enables New Power Market Blockchain Enables New Power MarketFrom his research post at the Electric Power Research Institute in Knoxville, Tenn., Gerald Gray keeps his eye on the underpinnings of how electricity is produced and distributed by utilities across the grid. What he sees is changerapid change. Traditional generating stations that produce baseload power measured in hundreds of megawatts are either closing or struggling, unable to compete with inexpensive power produced by solar, wind, or natural gas-burning plants.To handle these multitude of distributed, small-bore sources, a new smart grid is developing, where small buyers and sellers of electricity may find a marketplace. But for that to break into the mainstream, a new ordnungsprinzip linking disparate generators, buyers, and sellers with fast and secure transactions still needs development.Many industry experts suggest that this new system could well be based on blockchain, a digital technology commonly associated with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. There are several pilot projects moving in various market segments, but only a few are on the verge of true commercial operation.Theres lots of projects out there that are pilots, said Gray, who has been tracking blockchain since 2015. They are interesting but theyre elend quite the real thing. What is real is a project scaleuchtdiode to millions of transactions and thousands of users.However, the specific market demands of the energy sector have highlighted weaknesses in speed, security, and transparency in cryptocurrency transactions. Developers now are scurrying to produce solutions.The potential is huge. According to Ernst Young, more than $1 billion of venture capital has been tapped by a burgeoning group of startups looking to build the market. Still, the consulting firm believes a system to support a globally connected network of energy transfer, using smart devices to react to market signals an d securely send and receive data, is at least five years off and probably more.Recommended for You Energy Special ReportIt is kind of in the me too phase, Gray said. I think were all in the process of learning.Explanations of blockchain can make it sound impenetrable, but at its heart, it is a decentralized ledger to record and verify transactions. But rather than rely on a central entity to maintain or validate activity, blockchain runs on a large distributed network of computers and is visible to all users. In theory, it enables fast, secure, and transparent trading and transactions.In practice, the distributed nature of the system slows it down. The Bitcoin blockchain, for instance, now can process 4.6 transactions per second, well below a level needed for large-scale future energy transactions.One effort to bring the technology up to speed is being led by the Energy Web Foundation (EWF), a nonprofit founded in 2017 that now has over 100 affiliates ranging from major corporations like Shell to utilities to startups developing various apps to run off of a blockchain system. EWFs test network, codenamed Tobalaba, is scheduled to go live this month, and will begin actually processing transactions and flowing currency across the platform, said Jesse Morris, EWF chief commercial officer.EWFs approach welches to develop a platform in conjunction with its affiliates, who represent a diverse group of players in the energy sector. Rather than use an off-the-shelf blockchain platform, Tobalaba has been customized based on input from EWFs stakeholders. The energy market requires a blockchain tailored to the sector itself, said Peter Bronski, EWF director of marketing.Unlike Bitcoin, which requires new coins to be mined through the energy-intensive process of solving a computationally complex problem, the Tobalaba system instead uses blockchain to record the provenance and track the ownership of renewable energy production, including details of source type, location, t ime, and emissions. Existing systems to track those attributeswhich are critical to authenticating purchase and delivery of renewable energyare complicated and are centrally managed through a third party. Confirmation of certification can take weeks. The hope is that blockchain-based systems will speed the process and provide transparent and accurate tracking and trading.There have been some successful projects involving certificates of origin. Spanish utility Iberdrola used a platform developed by Madrid-based FlexiDAO on the EWF platform.Were essentially a bridge between the utility and the actual blockchain, said Joan Collell, FlexiDAOs business and strategy leader. All utilities are exploring blockchain technology now, but most are still at the exploratory level. But they are starting to request positive business cases and real value. So we are starting with a simple use case.Iberdrola used FlexiDAOs Spring software to provide real-time guarantees of origin of renewable energy d elivered to Kutxabank, a bank based in northern Spain. The energy was sourced from one hydropower plant and two wind farms. The utility reported the technology allowed automatic execution of smart contracts and eliminated intermediaries. Kutxabank officials also monitored the energy supply through a web-based interface platform.Tracking Small TransactionsProving certificates of origin is only one energy application for blockchain. More popular might be supporting a peer-to-peer network for customers to buy, sell, or trade power with one another, opening the market to ever smaller participants. Single family homes with solar panels, for instance, could sell excess power to another consumer, or buy it back if needed because a blockchain platform could support the slug of very small transactions that existing centralized systems cannot.Were going after the kilowatt hour, said EWFs Morris.Pilot projects are taking place around the world. In Norway, the giant utility Vattenfall is experi menting with a private blockchain network to record energy transactions in which commercial or residential customers can sell power coming from their solar panels or batteries. And in the United States, the Brooklyn Microgrid project in New York City is entering its third year of operation and is recognized as the first successful peer-to-peer blockchain system.Built and operated by LO3 Energy Systems, the Brooklyn Microgrid connects about 60 rooftop solar sites in three neighborhoods, with about 500 people buying and selling over the system through a mobile app. It relies on custom-designed smart meters that communicate via LO3s Exergy platform, enabling locally generated renewable energy to be bought, sold, and delivered to a customer, said Lawrence Orsini, LO3s CEO.The goal of the Brooklyn Microgrid was to give people a choice over what type of energy they use, and prove a new model of distributed renewable resources. Orsini said early focus groups interested in buying green ener gy were surprised there were no guarantees the electricity they bought from some suppliers actually came from a renewable source.The idea that you can get electrons from upstate to you is not very accurate, he said.The platform enables the real-time transaction of energy within the microgrid. Using the mobile app, customers can set a predetermined bid price for purchasing local energy, and so-called prosumersindividuals or businesses that choose to sell or trade power produced on their own solar panels or batteriescan sell their excess energy to the local market or continue to sell to the utility-owned grid. The blockchain-based system is used for communication, processing transactions securely.One of the bigger issues weve been grappling with in distributed networks is communications, Orsini said. Getting nodes to communicate effectively can be tricky.Utilities are also planning for blockchain. Recently, St. Louis-based utility Ameren announced a partnership with software engineeri ng firm Opus One Solutions to build a transactive market using the microgrid at the utilitys Technology Applications Center near the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.Amerens microgrid includes a 1-MW natural gas generator, a 1-kW wind turbine, 125 kW of solar generation, and 250 kW of battery storage. The company claims this will be the first microgrid capable of seamlessly moving distributed generation sources to the traditional grid, instead of operating as an island.The idea is to enable these distributed energy resources to communicate and make decisions on optimizing the energy mix and deciding if and when to move electricity to the grid.The first phase of the project will be simulated using models developed by Ameren followed by testing using the microgrids systems and controls. The goal is to create a simulated market with day-ahead, hour-ahead and 15-minute-ahead prices for energy at the locational marginal pricing hub from the transmission system of MISO, the grid operator.Enabling New TechnologiesBlockchain also may prove itself in enabling the acceptance of electric vehicles. It is an interesting starting point, said EWFs Jesse Morris. He and others see the technology enabling fast transactions at charging stations because of its ability to handle large volumes of small transactions.Thats already happening in Europe and California.Another startup, eMotorWerks, is partnering with Germanys MotionWerk in California to create a peer-to-peer market for EV charging based on shared facilities. A mobile app, called ShareCharge, will connect EV drivers with residential and commercial EV charging stations and handle blockchain-based payments between drivers and station owners. The goal is to increase the availability of charging stations and decrease range anxiety.MotionWerk is a startup that emerged from innogy SE, a subsidiary of the giant utility RWE. Innogy was spun off in 2016 when RWE split its renewable and network operations into a separate utility.Other large players are also testing blockchain. The PJM Interconnection, which operates a grid encompassing much of the east-central United States, is testing a system in partnership with EWF to track, trade and verify renewable energy certificates, known as RECs. It already does so at the wholesale level, at the scale of megawatt hours.Jaclyn Lukach is vice president of PJM Environmental Information Services, the PJM subsidiary working on the project. She said certifying RECs is slow and time consuming.It could take a number of months after a REC is retired for external auditors to provide documentation, she said. So we are looking to see how that would be reduced. Were still trying to envision what this will look like.Lukach said blockchain has the potential to bring much smaller packages of energy into play from small prosumers at the kilowatt hour level. The PJM platform will also be built from EWFs software toolkit and will be open source so it can be modified by any p otential participant.The systems will first run in a simulated environment with no transactions or exchange of currency.Lukach said regulators are not involved because PJM is targeting the voluntary marketcustomers purchasing renewables to meet individual goals or marketing claims. The einhaltung market is different and regulators are beginning to note blockchains arrival.Illinois regulators already are pushing investor-owned utilities to include distributive sources into their generating mix and the grid.Other states, including New York, Minnesota, California, and Nevada, are introducing similar plans. In New Jersey, which sits on the edge of the PJM system, officials are working on a new energy master plan that relies on diversified sources to wean the state off of fossil fuel by 2050.Theres a lot of new technology developing and it is a little premature to judge things, noted Cynthia Holland, director of the Office of Federal and Regional Policy for the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. But it is happening in real time and there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty.Decentralized AuthorityEPRI notes a number of regulatory changes needing action for blockchain and distributive energy to move ahead. For instance, most current regulatory frameworks do not allow consumer-to-consumer trading of the sort conducted within the Brooklyn Microgrid project. New contract types will be needed to handle that type of electricity trading, particularly when the electricity is first sent to the regional electric grid. And a new framework would require new and more flexible electricity tariffs that now are heavily regulated.Smart contracts will also have to be finalized and put into the legal codenot only to comply with the law but to protect consumers. Since trust in blockchain-based systems is placed in technology itself rather than a central authority, ultimate legal and technical liability for negative consequences remains poorly defined. For instance, if a successful hack into a decentralized energy trading system disrupts the flow of power, where do customers lodge a complaint?EWFs Bronski believes the issue will eventually resolve itself. At both the state and federal level were seeing a healthy interest in regulators educating themselves, he said.LO3s Orsini added I spend 30 percent of my time talking to regulators, and they have been open to the technology. Regulations in place today are going to change pretty quickly. What is necessary are proof points so regulators can see nothing is broken and there are real, viable results.You May Also LikeEnergy Special Report 2019The Chain GangRenewable Energy Experts Shine Light on Solar Farms and Grids

Employees Reveal What its Like to Work at Facebook

Employees Reveal What its Like to Work at facebook incEmployees Reveal What its Like to Work at facebook incCan you believe that Facebook was founded 12 years ago? In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg and four of his fellow Harvard classmates launched thefacebook.com website a social network for other Harvard students. In 2006, just Facebook opened its servers even to those who didnt make it to the Ivy League and became a global phenomenon.Today, virtually everyone is on Facebook, even your grandma.There are 3,5 billion internet users in the world and almost half of them have a Facebook account. Thats a fairly substantial base of facebookers and the number is still growing.In the course of 10 years, Facebook has changed a lot. What started out as a chatting and photo-sharing network is now the most influential social medium.Facebook also significantly shaped the job market. Many people have jobs thanks to Facebook. And we dont mean only Facebook employees, but thousands of social media managers , online marketers, PPC specialists and many others for whom Facebook and other social media have become their daily bread.Facebook is one of the top companies in the world to work for. It doesnt come as a big surprise really. Who wouldnt want to work for one of the most popular and most valuable brands in the world? Whats more, Facebooks CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the highest rated CEO on Glassdoor. Facebook currently employs more than 10K people and has offices in more than 60 cities around the world.Who wouldnt want to work inside the new Menlo Park, CA headquarters among the brightest people in the industry?Image source CNBCWhat are the best things about working at Facebook?1. SalaryMany reviews on Glassdoor highlighted the great salary people working for Facebook have. Some reviewers, who had previously worked at Google said Facebook pays its people even better.2. IndividualityWorking at Facebook is not about obeying what the team leader says. Facebook employeesshouldthink for them selves and bring their own ideas to the table.The company runs on similar principles as Facebook as a social medium. Facebook wants to keep its employees connected and open towards each other.3. Free food, drinks and snacksAccording to many positive reviews on Glassdoor, Facebook treats its employees really well. They can gorge on plenty of delicious meals and snacks all day long. Moreover, Facebook organizes various team-building events that the Facebookers love.4. Open cultureAt Facebook, they discussevery issue openly and with brutal honesty. Each employee gives and receives feedback, whether its good or bad. Employees often criticise their leaders.5. Team spiritThe whole office works as one team. Facebook doesnt like hierarchies managers dont behave as authorities, but rather as a part of the team.6. QA Sessions with the CEOMark Zuckerberg is the top rated CEO on Glassdoor and the Facebookers simply love his regular Friday QA sessions in Menlo Park, the headquarters of Facebook . All the employees have a say in internal issues and can point it out to the CEO himself.7. No fixed working hoursAt Facebook, nobody really checks your working schedule, what matters is your output and your performance at work. No nine to five kind of thing. If you have plenty to do, you work until youre done. On the other hand, if youre done for the day, you can go home.8. Family friendlyOne of the best perks according to several employees is how family friendly Facebook is. Both fathers and mothers get 4 months of paid family holiday with the certainty youll get your job back after youve taken care of your little one.Any drawbacks?So far, working at Facebook sounds like an absolute dream come true. There were, however, a couple of negative things the Facebook employees pointed on GlassdoorMany Facebook employees werent satisfied with their work/life balance. Despite many perks, theres a highunpredictability of workload. This often obliges Facebookers to work really long hours, f ew days in a row. Especially software engineers have a tough time during an on-call duty. As Keith Adams, a former Facebook software engineer, saysFor those weeks I dont leave town on the weekend make especially sure not to have one too many at any social gatherings I attend and most importantly, carry and immediately respond to a charged phone where I can be reached 24/7, including leaving the ringer on the nightstand as I sleep.Share Your Feedback or Ideas in the Comments

The number of Americans that cheat and get drunk on business trips

The number of Americans that cheat and get drunk on business tripsThe number of Americans that cheat and get drunk on business tripsThe employment website Simply Hired interviewed over 1,000 US employees about the kinds of indecorous activities they engage in while away on business trips and the results were rather interesting.Its 5 oclock somewhereWhile it might not come as a surprise to many to learn that over 50% of respondents admitted to getting drunk after hours on business trips it might surprise you to learn that nearly 30% of Americans surveyed said they dont wait until after hours to throw a couple back, admitting to getting drunk during work events.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreManagers and employees were found to drink outside of conferences the most, but managers tended to over consume more than their subordinates.An additional 23% prefer to go green on their busi ness trips with one in 10 saying they experiment with harder substances. Twenty percent pass on drugs in preference for heading to a local strip club or linking up with partners on dating apps.Drinking up the ranksThe study further suggests a correlation between lage in the corporate hierarchy and the extent of risqu behavior engaged in while on business trips. The authors intimate less vaguely that the amount of money earned seems to promote certain kinds of unprofessional behavior. For example, the third of Americans that claim to be relatively well behaved on business trips is composed primarily of junior ranking staff members or workers that make less than $100,000 annually. Conversely, a quarter of managers confessed to spending company funds on unsanctioned events.Simply Hired explains, These employees make more money therefore, they likely have more money to spend, and the activities they participate in are usually things that can rack up a big bill. Drinks at a hotel bar, fo r instance, are usually much more expensive than your typical pub or restaurant.Executives and Americans in leadership roles were also found to frequent strip clubs, get high and drink at events significantly more than other staff members. According to the survey, They feel as though they are the ones in charge, with no one else above them to check their actions.Risqu BusinessAbout one in five of the respondents in the Simply Hired survey considered cheating with or hitting on someone while theyre away on business trips. The majority of the targets were strangers though 7.6% of responders at least thought about getting intimate with a coworker. Over 6% of men admitted to going further than thinking about cheating on their significant other and 4.1% of women joined them.One of the unnamed individuals surveyed, simply labeled as 29 year old woman that works in finance and insurance, recalls, The HR rep of our region got rip-roaring drunk at dinner and was dancing and swinging her card igan over her head. She had to be carried back to her room.If you see something, say nothingThe survey found that, on balance, higher ups rarely got caught for their misdeeds on company time. They only exception to this was when it came to both infidelity and stealing.Bosses were caught cheating about 1.8% of the time, which is just marginally more than coworkers and a shocking 13.8% of the time for stealing compared to the 5.8% contributed to coworkers.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from jngste im bunde Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

A Device to Fight Co-Infection

A Device to Fight Co-Infection A Device to Fight Co-Infection A Device to Fight Co-InfectionCo-infection of HIV and leberentzndung C is a difficult problem for many patients around the globe. In fact, Xinyu Liu, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at McGill University, says that approximately one third of HIV patients has a Hepatitis C infection. But diagnosing this is a difficulty as well, and a major part of why his group is focused on developing a portable device to accomplish this.The work welches first motivated by the population in Kenya, where unfortunately a large number of people are infected with HIV, he says. With the help of a global health grant from Grand Challenge Canada, we were able to work on it.With overseas collaborators, including one from Nairobi, the issue was developing something that could be used remotely. You need to pick up a very low concentration of antibodies in human blood and its not always possible, he says. We can actually measure eight ti mes using electric particles with the device, with the ability to pick up four related to HIV and four for Hepatitis C. On our platform, the core device is made from paper substrate, but we have other material involved. We also use microchannels in the paper substrate and a handheld reader is used. Its an electronic device with a display a layperson can understand.A portable, paper-based diagnostic platform for diagnosing HIV and Hepatitis C virus co-infection. Image C. Zhao / McGill UniversityLiu says the assay is quick and the results are very accurate because theyre using electrical particles. It also has a resolution thats higher than maybe someone would guess, he says. Challenges in the work included platform integration. Integrating different technical components into a fully functional platform took time and then there was adding Bluetooth communication in our function in a handheld reader, he says. The second challenge is on the chemical function aspect. We have to optimize our protocols so we can really reach a comparable performance to radical instruments. It takes a lot of effort to maximize the protocol.The platform on the handheld device includes a few components for the layperson, including inserting a piece of paper into the handheld reader, after which the user will see the computation on an tft-display screen.The price is affordable, projected to be less than $100. The paper sensor reagent is more expensive than the device material, he adds.There are also other potential applications. This type of assay can allow for many other markers, he says. For example, a particular cancer marker can potentially be used. And the portability. Most of the small clinics in Kenya are remote so this is helpful.Liu knows his line of work can be an uphill battle but accepts this as part of focusing on medical device invention. Medical-related problems are often complicated but the rewards at the end can touch a lot of people, he says. We are a little bit far fro m saving lives with this one but were hopefully moving in a direction where in the next five years it can be used to help the people who desperately need it. Its exciting but its challenging to push new technologies forward.Eric Butterman is an independent writer.Medical-related problems are often complicated but the rewards at the end can touch a lot of people.Prof. Xinyu Liu, McGill University

Military spouses could be the solution to your talent shortage

Military spouses could be the solution to your talent shortageMilitary spouses could be the solution to your talent shortageMilitary spouses could be the solution to your talent shortageIts no secret- the current labor market is stronger than it has been in years. Companies are in hot pursuit of the right fit for their open positions but may be overlooking one of our most capable and untapped talent communities military spouses.Military spouses represent an incredible depth of technical skills and capabilities and bring to the table an added level of diversity, resiliency, determination, focus and leadership skills- all of which can help accelerate an organizations ability to meet its business goals and objectives.Unfortunately, as documented in recent studies from Blue Star Families and the US Chamber of Commerce, military spouses are unemployed at four times the national unemployment rate.Even more of these spouses areunderemployed- working in part-time or seasonal jobs while seeki ng a full-time role, accepting positions that require less skill or responsibility than previous roles, or being hired into jobs those that dont fully utilize their education or experience.At and Military.com, we spend a lot of time connecting with veterans and their families to discuss employment opportunities and career challenges.We understand that military spouses have difficulties finding meaningful work in todays job market, yet wanted to know more about the challenges that military spouses face when looking for a job, and what they need from employers to determine if a position is a right fit for them.This resulted in our military spouse employment survey, revealing the challenges they face when seeking new opportunities, includingSeven in 10 (71%) respondents found it difficult to establish a clear career path and believed achieving upward mobility is difficult with the constant moves.Two in three respondents (65%) believe it is difficult to find a job that takes their milit ary lifestyle into account.While 52% of respondents viewed military spouse status as a benefit to employment, 45% viewed it as a barrier, and 53% choose not to disclose it at all when applying for a job.So, how can employers better connect with military spouses and utilize their talents?Promote your companys military-friendly programsThe first step is to brand your organization military friendly and make it apparent youre invested in hiring veterans, transitioning military, and military families. Whether through content on your companys career site, via HR materials, or partnerships with non-profit organizations, its important to highlight the veterans and military spouses in your workforce, as well as everything your organization is doing to hire this talent.Consider flexibility, portability, and childcareThe second step is taking action and making your organization become more accommodating. While they dont need to be looked at as a cause, military spouses do need a bit of flexibi lity from their employers.In order to highlight opportunities as appealing and attainable for military spouses, companies must review which positions can be portable or flexible. By creating more versatile, portable positions, jobs can move with the spouse as they move with the military.Additionally, many military spouses are the primary caretakers for their families, so employers should consider improving access to childcare, whether via onsite care or partnering with local childcare facilities.Make your jobs easy for military families to findLastly, employers must be sure theyre posting their open positions in the appropriate locations for military spouses to find them. When surveyed, 63% said they use online job searches, creating an opportunity for private and non-profit entities to work together. Most (60%) use searches in addition to seeking help from family and friends, while fewer than 19% turn to military career services. Its important for employers to keep this in mind whe n they decide where to advertise their military spouse job opportunities.and Military.com have a long-standing commitment to military spouse employment. As an underutilized talent swimmingpool in todays workforce, military spouses can apply invaluable expertise to a variety of positions, including short-term contracts and long-term salaried positions.Our focus is to help bridge the gap between employers and job candidates as well as to help organizations fill open positions with dynamic, capable talent. And, we strongly believe the wives, husbands, and partners of members of the military are just that.Interested in learning more ways you can create a directed spouse-recruiting initiative?

Energy from Floridas Ocean Currents

Energy from Floridas Ocean Currents Energy from Floridas Ocean Currents Even though Floridas ocean currents are favorable for producing hydrokinetic power, no one has demonstrated commercial viability or deployed permanent turbine arrays off the Florida coast. The required systems are expensive to build, install, and maintain, and they require environmental impact assessments before implementation.The fastest currents occur near the surface, but deploying energy conversion systems there would interfere with busy commercial shipping lanes. At 50 meters, which is below the draft of ships, the average current speed is about 1.5 meters per second with a power density of 1,700 Watts per square meter, the equivalent of 14-meter-per-second winds. With maximum speeds equivalent to tropical-storm strength winds, a speed histogram skewed toward the high end, and constant large currents like the Florida Current, there is much potential to generate high amounts of electric power.Researchers at F lorida Atlantic University (FAU) are studying ocean currents along Floridas southeast coast and have determined practical turbine operating areas that maximize energy extraction to help create a clearer picture of realistic operation for energy developers and others interested in creating pilot projects.Identifying Turbine LocationsIn a paper presented at the 2012 OMAE conference in Rio de Janeiro, Ph.D. student Alana Duerr, who recently graduated, and Dr. Manhar Dhanak in FAUs Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, describe how they assessed the potential of the Florida Current. They used a computer ocean model and observations over two years of speed and current direction from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers. Based on their analysis, they have developed a procedure to identify ideal turbine locations for arrays to extract hydrokinetic energy, and estimate the amount of power that could be extracted.Rendering of an underwater turbine generating energy from the Florida C urrent.People typically use similar procedures, based on predictions of computer ocean models, to assess resources for other forms of ocean energy, such as ocean thermal energy, involving exploitation of the temperature difference between the warmer surface waters and cooler waters in deep waters, says Dhanak.The Florida Current mainly flows northward and the ocean floor can be up to 800 meters deep. Current speeds vary with depth, as well as season, spatial locations, latitude, and the amount of turbulence. Currents in the coastal areas may also reverse direction at different times of day. Duerr has created a method that estimates the hydrokinetic power resources which vary over time with the variation in current speed seasonally and with location. In general, the average maximum available power resource across a given latitude in the Straits of Florida ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 MW. Locations with high variability are typically less preferable for turbine installation.The researc h identified ideal turbine locations within the Currents core, a region with the highest current speeds and therefore significant amounts of power to harvest. The core hugs the shoreline in some areas and is located further offshore in others. It occurs at various depths, ranging from the surface to several hundred meters below.Extracting PowerRegions that contain both high hydrokinetic power and high power densities, two factors not necessarily well correlated along Floridas coast, define the core boundaries in terms of distance from the shore. After identifying boundaries, Duerr evaluated various scenarios for the number of turbines to include in an array and their siting locations to estimate how much power an array can extract.Duerr constructed a method for developing a cost-benefit analysis for siting turbine locations, and considered power, power density, distance from the shore, and depth at the core as the fruchtwein important factors. As the first two factors increase, they reduce the overall cost, and as the second two increase, power cable and mooring installations become more expensive and complicated to install and raise the overall cost.Using an example evaluation that assumes equal weighting of each factor, Duerr assesses potential sites. In practice, if a developer considers power or power density impacts the economic viability of a turbine array more than the distance from shore and installation depth, then higher weighting factors would be assigned to the former than the latter.The best turbines to use are ones that have low cut-in speeds, or initial speeds needed to generate useful power, and large diameters. By including these as additional model parameters, Duerr found that arrays with large numbers of turbines are needed to extract reasonable and environmentally viable portions of the maximum available power.The number of turbines in an array depends on their type and size. There is an optimal array size to consider. The more turbines are installed, the greater the power extracted, but can make each turbine in the array less effective due to interaction between turbines and the lower the extraction rate.The only way to determine what type of turbine to employ in a specific array is to compare the acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs of each, Duerr says.Using this inexpensive, efficient method to locate potential turbine arrays is a first step toward understanding the costs and benefits of realizing ocean current energy off the coast of Florida. But, fruchtwein importantly, Dhanak says, the procedure can be applied to other major currents to assess hydrokinetic power resources anywhere in the world. Theyre continuing to see how this scheme could be applied elsewhere.Debbie Sniderman is CEO of VI Ventures LLC, a technical consulting company.The only way to determine what type of turbine to employ in a specific array is to compare the acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs of each.Dr. Manhar Dhanak, Dep artment of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University

This robot can clean your toilet (but very slowly)

This robot can clean your toilet (but very slowly)This robot can clean your toilet (but very slowly)There are people in this world who find the cleaning process to be relaxing. But even among those strange creatures, theres one room that is almost always an exception The bathroom.Home to all the grimiest surfaces, the bathroom is a germ center filled with stains and smudges to make a stomach turn. Its the area that often looks the dirtiest and smells the worst.So what if we could have a robot do the cleaning for us?Thanks to insightful people who designed a competition for the World Robot Summit in Japan, a bunch of brilliant techies had to think through a particularly mundane situation How to clean a toilet. But instead of stooping to their hands and knees, they created robots to wipe water off a toilet rim and pick trash off the bathroom floor.One team was particularly successful, attaching a sponge to their robots appendage.So is that it? Does this mean the end of bathroom cleanin g as we know it?Not so fastUnfortunately, a video shows the robot moving at a snails pace, wiping the tiniest amount of water possible per second. The speed alone isnt a huge problem just as robot vacuums slowly glide across our floors, robot cleaners could take their time. Its not like they have somewhere else to be.But the robots intimidating size might prove more of a deterrent, especially in studios or one bedrooms that can hardly hold a person. And, as expected, a toilet-cleaning robot doesnt come cheap.In the end, it seems unlikely that robot-kind will replace humanity for all our shower-scrubbing, toilet-cleaning chores. But that doesnt mean we cant dream

How losing just two hours of sleep can affect your mood

How losing just two hours of sleep can affect your mood How losing just two hours of sleep can affect your mood Feeling as though you’ve ‘woken up on the wrong side of the bed’ and the hustle and bustle of your commute is more of a bug-bare than normal? If you get even a couple of hours less sleep than usual, then this could be a reason why you’re feeling more grumpy,  according to research from the Iowa State University.To prevent feeling cranky and having a ‘shorter fuse’ try and include these health tips into your daily routine, to help you get a fulfilling night’s sleep…1. Night sweats are not to be ignoredIf you find yourself waking with night sweats you want to be clear whether you have woken because you are sweating, or if you have woken up and then started to sweat. If the sweat wakes you up then you may be having a menopausal night sweat and should look into ways of reducing this, such as eating healthy foods little and often. However, if you wake and then you start to sweat, or get other symptoms like palpitations, or just feel wide awake then this is most likely caus ed by an adrenaline surge because your blood sugar has dropped during the night.“It’s important to keep your blood sugar in balance during the day. One way you can help do this is by having a small snack of complex carbohydrates, such as an oatcake, half a slice of wheat or rye bread, about an hour before bed. This will stop your blood sugar dropping overnight, and prevent adrenaline from being released into your bloodstream and causing you to wake,” recommends Dr. Marilyn Glenville, author of The Natural Health Bible for Women.2. Is your gut health preventing your snoozing time?The beneficial bacteria in the gut work hard to produce and regulate hormones and neurotransmitters that can help to keep you feeling calm and relaxed. Your gut microbes can even lower levels of cortisol, the notorious stress hormone that rears its head in times of anxiety and can keep you awake and feeling anxious. Your good bacteria, when given the right environment and food (such prebiotics and fibe r) also produce GABA, a calming amino acid that is crucial for restorative deep sleep.Sleep-wake cycles are largely regulated by melatonin, a hormone produced by your brain’s pineal gland in response to changing light each day. As darkness begins to fall, the pineal gland secretes melatonin, which makes you start to feel sleepy. Levels of this hormone stay relatively high throughout the night while you sleep, and then drop off again as light emerges in the morning, easing you into wakefulness.“Balanced microbiota in your gut can boost your body’s supply of melatonin, by increasing your blood levels of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor to melatonin that can keep your sleep-wake cycles in sync. Tryptophan also converts to serotonin in the body. Studies show that a deficiency of serotonin disrupts sleep-wake cycles, so having plenty of gut microbes to maintain steady levels of tryptophan in the body leads to more serotonin and a better sleep,” explains Accredited Nutritionist MSc/BSc at sense, Dimitra Sentelidou.3. Take note of timingsKeep to a sleep routine, if possible setting your alarm to wake you up at the same time each day, regardless of the time you finally fall asleep. It is also a good idea to TRY and be in bed by 10 pm â€" although this is not always easy!4. Use relaxation or visualization techniquesIf you find that your mind will not shut off then you need to retrain it to calm down as you go to bed. Sometimes the easiest way to do this, especially if you have an active mind, or are a ‘worrier’, is to get your mind to think of something else. Take yourself off to a wonderful beach, or a beautiful garden, and let all your senses become involved. Hear the sounds on that beach, smell the flowers in the garden, feel the sand through your toes, picture the blue sky and really make the place come alive. Each night that you do this, you will find that the time it takes to go to sleep will get shorter and shorter because going to this beautiful place signals to your brain that this is the time for sleep.5. Stay clear of a restful night’s sleep by eating broccoliWhy not make it part of your new years resolution to include sleep-friendly foods in your diet? Steamed broccoli is packed with B vitamins, which are essential to support your brain health. Broccoli is also rich in tryptophan, which as mentioned above, converts to serotonin in the body.6. Soothing smellsWhen you go to bed feeling relaxed you’re more likely to fall asleep easily and quickly. Dr Marilyn Glenville suggests incorporating scented oils into your bedtime routine. “Try using aromatherapy oils such as bergamot, lavender, roman chamomile and marjoram in a warm bath, just before bed. A few drops of lavender oil on your pillow at bedtime can also help.”7. Up your magnesiumMagnesium is known as ‘nature’s tranquiliser’ as it helps to relax our muscles, which in turn can help us fall into a peaceful sleep. “Try and include plenty of magnesium-rich foods in your diet such as, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, fish and leafy green vegetables. I’d also recommend taking KalmAssure Magnesium Powder, by Natures Plus ( £24.50,  www.naturesplus.co.uk). This is a naturally chelated magnesium which means it is very easy to absorb and easily delivered to the tissues,” explains Nutritionist Cassandra Barns.8. Write things down“Write down what you need to do the next day at least an hour before bed. The aim is to stop the dialogue in your head which can end up stopping you from getting off to sleep, or else waking you up in the middle of night remembering something that has to be done the next day,” advises Dr. Marilyn Glenville.9. Cut out the night capYou might think that enjoying a glass of wine before bed is one of the easiest ways to get to the land of nod, but it could actually leave you waking up feeling less than refreshed. Dr. Marilyn Glenville explains, “Avoid alcohol. Not only does it affect blood sugar levels causing adren aline and cortisol to be released, but it also blocks the transport of tryptophan into the brain. Tryptophan is important because it is converted into serotonin, the calming and relaxing neurotransmitter.”10. Keep your bedroom comfortable and restfulPay attention to the temperature in your room and make sure it’s not too warm and not too cold. Cooler is better than warmer. Keep the room restful: a quiet, dark, cool environment sends signals to your brain that it is time to wind down. Invest in a good bed: If your bed or mattress is uncomfortable or more than ten years old it may need replacing.This article was originally published on YourCoffeeBreak.

Why Task-Based Job Descriptions Arent Helping Your Resume and What Can

Why Task-Based Job Descriptions Arent Helping Your Resume and What Can Why Task-Based Job Descriptions Arent Helping Your Resume and What Can I was speaking with a resume expert, and she told me that many people still write their resumes as if they were listing a description for the job, rather than what they accomplished. In fact, I found out that job seekers actually google sample job descriptions to find phrases to use!PLEASE STOP THAT! You dont want canned phrases from other peoples resumes or job descriptions. You want resume achievement phrases that describe what you did in a way that makes you stand out from all the rest.What do I mean by using job descriptions to write a resume? When you list a job on your resume and then underneath describe what you did while you had the job, do you simply list basic things like answered phones wrote business plans handled customers prepared budgets managed people raised funds?Those phrases arent telling an employer much about you, other than you performed some of these tasks. We dont even know if you did them well!Examples of achievements rather than job descriptions Achievement s use action verbs (in the past tense for previous jobs) to describe what you did. Think about what you made happen above-and-beyond the absolute minimum requirements for the job (such as the ones listed above).Did you solve problems?Did you create anything new?Did you increase revenues?Did you lead a project?Did you save the company money or time?Did you manage a multi-line Cisco phone system receiving over 200 calls a day?Did you develop a 5-year business plan that resulted in attracting new investors to the firm?Did you manage a $20,000,000 budget, meeting all your targets for projected cost savings?Did you discover new funding sources that brought in over $500,000 for a childrens library? NOTE: Achievements are more powerful if they match what the new employer is looking for. Although, presenting an over-all picture of a resourceful, dedicated person looking for ways to help the company is pretty much always a good thing.But dont I have to tell them more about what I did? Good q uestion. Yes, you do need to give them an idea of your basic duties and responsibilities, especially as they speak to the requirements of the new job you want. But dont stop there. And dont make mere duties all that you list under each job. Where you can use your words to tell a little story.An example of what I mean about telling a bit of a story (we dont want a novel) would be: Managed multi-line Cisco phone system receiving over 200 calls a day. If youre applying for a receptionist job, thats a lot more impressive than simply answered phones.I hope that helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in comments.

Here are eight  kale chip recipes  to try on your own.3. SalsaIf you’re a salsa addict, making your own will be a game changer. The better and healthier brands out there don’t come cheap and you’ll end up with something superior by  buying your own vegetables and making it at home.  This  salsa recipe  from Alton Brown calls for Roma  toma toes, garlic, jalapeños, bell pepper, red onion, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and fresh scallions. You’ll end up with a big batch to  feed your salsa addiction, plus you’ll avoid things like high-fructose corn syrup found in commercial salsa jars.4. Salad DressingIt might seem more convenient to buy salad dressing at the store, but making it at home barely requires any effort and you’ll end up with something lighter, healthier and less expensive. Also, FYI: Store-bought salad dressings can be loaded with GMO’s, toxins and hidden sugars. You can avoid all of that when you’re at the helm.Here’s a  recipe  for a simple vinaigrette that only requires ingredients. As long as you have extra virgin olive oil, some kind of vinegar - could be white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar or  rice vinegar - salt and freshly ground pepper, you can easily make your own. Extras like shallots, garlic, Dijon and honey are added bonuses.5. CroutonsFor those of you who love to add a little crunch to your soup or salads, making  homemade croutons  is a no-brainer. All you have to do is preheat the oven to 350 degrees, remove the crust from any stale bread, brush the bread with butter, cut the bread into small cubes, sprinkle it with any seasonings you want and put the bread in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes.6. Tortilla ChipsWhenever you have guests coming over and you want to impress them with an easy homemade snack,  tortilla chips  are the way to go. You’re better off making your own than buying them at the store. You only need oil with a high smoke point (canola, grapeseed or corn oil) and a pack of 12 corn tortillas. It doesn’t get much easier than this. All you have to do is dry them out, cut the tortillas into triangles and fry them until they begin to brown.7. Whipped CreamMaking your own whipped cream for dessert is always a crowd pleaser. All it takes is a little elbow grease. All you need is heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and honey. Here’s how to  make your own.  You get to avoid all of the added sugars in store-bought whipped cream and you’ll end up with something much fresher.8. HummusThe real payoff in making your own hummus comes down to taste. If you have a blender, you can make  hummus from scratch. It’ll take you 10 minutes and you can pat yourself on the back for creating this healthy homemade snack.9. ApplesauceTo make your own applesauce, you need apples, water, lemon, a big pot and just a little time. Homemade applesauce tastes so much better than the jarred stuff and you can avoid added sugars by making it yourself. Here’s an easy  recipe  that’ll only take you 45 minutes and you’ll have six cups worth of applesauce on your hands.This article first appeared on Swirled.    You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Average Teacher Salary By State - How Much Educators Earn in the US

Average Teacher Salary By State - How Much Educators Earn in the US Average Teacher Salary By State - How Much Educators Earn in the US There are more than 3.5 million teachers working in public and private elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the United States. Their goals are the same- instruct students in a variety of subjects and help them apply those concepts- but the average teacher salary varies significantly from state to state. Teacher Salary Disparity In the US Those who become teachers do so to share their knowledge with children and ultimately prepare them for careers or college. They do not do it for the money. However, everyone needs money to live. While teachers, in general, make less money than others with the same education (at least a bachelors degree and usually a masters), those working in some states earn considerably less than those employed in others. For example, in New York, which has the highest average salaries, elementary school teachers average earnings are $80,540, middle school teachers earn an average salary of $80,940, and high school teachers average earnings are $83,360 (2017). Contrast this with Oklahoma, the state with the lowest average teacher salaries. Elementary school teachers there earn an average salary of $40,530, middle school educators average earnings are $42,040, and those working in secondary schools make $41,880. The disparity in teachers salaries has nothing to do with their job duties- teachers working in New York State have the same ones as those educating students in Oklahoma. They have similar schedules as well. Teachers spend about seven hours  in the classroom each day from Monday through Friday. They also meet with parents before and after school hours. Teachers spend time outside the classroom, including evenings and weekends, preparing lesson plans and classroom activities.  Traditionally, in schools that are open 10 months a year, teachers get eight weeks of summer vacation, as well as a couple of weeks off for winter and spring breaks.  Those who work in schools that are open  year-round usually work for nine weeks at a time with three weeks off between sessions. Teachers who work in states where salaries are lower have even bigger battles to fight. The per pupil expenditures are usually insufficient there as well, according to an article in USA Today (Frolich, Thomas C. Teacher Pay: States Where Educators Are Paid the Most and Least. USA Today. May 16, 2018). Lack of resources in their schools and classrooms make their jobs that much more difficult and is a leading cause of stress among teachers. They face challenges such as larger classes and a lack of up-to-date educational tools such as textbooks and classroom technology. Many teachers who work in schools with limited funding spend a portion of their own salary to buy classroom supplies.

After spending their days in the classroom, many spend their nights working in jobs that dont require their professional expertise. Others leave the profession entirely. Some find other careers that take advantage of their education degree. Others retrain for unrelated occupations. There are side hustles teachers can do that take advantage of their training. They include working at summer camps, tutoring, selling worksheets, lesson plans, or other materials they developed for their classrooms; creating curriculum for publishers; proctoring exams like the SAT or ACT; and teaching adult education classes. Those in districts that offer summer school programs can also earn extra money by signing up to work during that time.

5 Innovations from the White House Science Fair

5 Innovations from the White House Science Fair 5 Innovations from the White House Science Fair For some students, all under the age of 20, meeting the President is not a fanciful dream any longer. Not only did they meet the President, they also showcased their inventions to him at the White House Science Fair on March 23, 2015. President Obama hosted the 5th White House Science Fair, celebrating the student winners of a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) competitions from across America. This years event focused on diversity and inclusion in STEM, with participants as young as the six-year old Girl Scout Daisies, who stole everyones hearts with their page-turning LEGO invention. Wearable tech, smartphone apps, diagnostics tools, energy-saving devices, and 3D printed products were prominent among the research projects exhibited by students from 30 states. Here are five innovative ideas that caught ASME.orgs attention. Sophia Nobles and Joseph Santana posing with Bill Nye The Science Guy. Image: WateRenew Renewable Water System Sophia Nobles and Joseph Santana, two middle-school students from Florida, designed a renewable way of generating safe drinking water from ocean water and won a competition at their school. We were researching desalination and realized how costly it is, so we came up with a way to clean water with less energy, says Nobles, displaying WateRenew, a conceptual system that converts energy from the elliptical motion of waves into electrical energy that can power desalination of ocean water into drinking water. With technology we can fix the problems in the world, says 11-year old Nobles, who aims to be a mechanical engineer. Heart-Rate Analyzer Fifteen-year old Maureen Botros of Kansas invented a wearable device that collects and stores workout data, which can be analyzed and tracked by the user. The device called Illumi-cize, which took the top prize at the Kansas Junior Academy of Science competition, uses a pulse meter to measure heart rate and sends that information to a computer chip. The chip illuminates light-up accessories based on the intensity of a persons physical activity. Botros also developed a wristband that lights up when a persons heart rate is elevated beyond its normal resting range. Jonathan Hernandez and Fanta Sinayoko of the SOAR High School InvenTeam that invented an alcohol level detection bracelet named ëris. Blood-Alcohol Detector Another wearable device at the science fair was displayed by high-school students Jonathan Hernandez and Fanta Sinayoko from Lancaster, CA, representing their high-schools Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam. The team designed a blood alcohol content detection wristband aimed for adults and of-age college students who wish to drink responsibly. Upon blowing onto a miniature sensor in the low-cost wearable breathalyzer, the presence of ethanol triggers an analog voltage charge that is converted into a light-emitting diode reaction. Colors indicate blood alcohol results to the wearer; green indicates the user is safe to drive, and red indicates the user is not safe to drive. Diagnostics for Cancer A research project presented by 19-year old Natalie Ng, a freshman at Stanford University, could have implications for breast cancer diagnosis. The problem today is a lot of people are taking chemotherapy to prevent the spread of cancer and metastasis. My project was to tell the doctor which patients will most likely to develop metastasis, and therefore, would be good candidates for chemotherapy, says Ng. She developed two micro-RNA-based prognostic models that can predict metastasis in breast cancer, which garnered her the first place at the 2013 International BioGENEius Challenge. 3D Printed Implant Tufts Universitys bioengineering student Harry Paul, who was born with congenital scoliosis, endured more than a dozen spinal surgeries to help correct the problem. Now the 17-year old freshman is working to help other young patients avoid the burdensome operations with a 3D printed spinal implant that expands with age, extending the time between surgeries. The mechanical model of the spinal column that he designed using computers and 3D printers, earned him a place as a semifinalist at the 2014 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. President Obama applauded all the students exhibiting at the White House, saying We give students the inspiration not just that math and science are inherently interesting, and technology and engineering are inherently interesting, but theres actual problems to solve, it turns out that young people, they rise to the challenge.

The Investment Approach to Your Job Search

The Investment Approach to Your Job Search Investing in Your Job Search The Investment Approach to Your Job Search Brian Ray (pictured) is founder of Crossroads Career Network, a national, non-profit membership of churches that provides online job search/ career resources and access to career groups. He is also author of the 2010 Crossroads Career Workbook, owner of Primus Consulting executive search, and former vice president for human resources and administration for Chick-fil-A restaurants. Like a good financial investment, a successful job search takes effort, time, and money. But in a job search, youre investing in yourself, your most important asset. Here are a few suggestions for spending your effort, time, and money wisely, in order to reap the greatest dividends for your career: Effort Work on finding and doing work every day. Plan your activities every week using SMART goals: Specific: Set measurable goals. Define exactly what you want to accomplish. For instance, sending resumes is not as measurable as sendingfive resumes to companies I would like to work for. Moderate: Select two to five goals per week that you can reach. Too many goals can be overwhelming. Accountability: Show or tell somebody what you plan to do, and at the end of the week, let them know how you did. Record: Keep a written record of your goals and progress. It can help reassure and motivate you. Time-Activated: Give yourself deadlines. For instance, by Noon on Friday, sendfive resumes to companies I would like to work for. Time If you're unemployed, invest time every day that adds up to at least 40 hours a week. Set up a daily career transition work schedule with start-to-quit times similar to a typical workday. If you're beginning your search, focus on pumping up your attitude, targeting opportunities, and discovering and marketing your career strengths. If you're in job search mode, use some of your time looking online for postings and openings, but spend 50 to 85% of your time networking for personal referrals. When you're interviewing, continue discovering and marketing your strengths while you search for new opportunities. For a complete six-step guide with exercises, download this Career Workbook. If you're employed and looking for a new job, invest one to seven hours a week. Use breakfast, coffee and lunch times for personal networking and interviewing. Do your homework at night or early in the morning. Be sure to review and plan goals and activities every weekend. Meanwhile, consider these two questions: How long will it take for you to find a job? The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average time it takes from being laid off to being hired again is (gulp) more than six months! For you, it can be faster, depending on how many hours you invest, what you're looking for, the depth of your search plan, and how well you execute it. How long will it take for you to change careers? It can take a few weeks to a few years. The more education and experience you need, the longer it will take. The key is to start now. Discover your strengths, then target opportunities that fit those strengths. Money Businesses spend money to make money, and so should you. Ask yourself, How much can I invest in me, in light of the money I hope to make? An effective job or career search is not free. You may have to spend money on travel, clothes, grooming, phone and internet use, resumes, printing, publications, education, training, coaching, and more. To free up some money for your search, cut expenses and save on non-essentials. Sell things you don't use. Establish a monthly budget that includes what you spend on your career. And keep good records because costs related to a job search may qualify as deductions on your income tax return. Check with the IRS, your tax preparer, or an accountant for what you can deduct. The Bottom Line At the end of every week, review what you accomplished and where you fell short. Then, set your goals for the following week. Use this Progress Review Preview Exercise to guide you. Remember, the right investment combination of effort, time, and money can pay off for you in the end.

Developing Delivery Drones

Developing Delivery Drones Developing Delivery Drones Developing Delivery Drones The swarm is coming. Thousands of insectoid, robotic, autonomous drones will soon fill our skies. But instead of working en masse in some search-and-rescue operation, chasing down some otherwise inaccessible enemy, or spying on previously remote hideouts, theyll be heightening the worlds got-to-have-it-now consumerism, hauling individual packages through the air from warehouse to doorstep. In early December, a 60 Minutes feature on Amazon unveiled the companys plans to deliver by drone. The clip showed yellow boxes sliding down a conveyor belt into the ready clutches of an octocopter, which then took off with a whine and a buzz, flew over fields to a comely neighborhood, descended to a driveway, relinquished the package, and took off again. CEO Jeff Bezos suggested that real customers could be receiving goods with such a service in five years or so. While the news stoked anti-drone fires in various states (including Deer Trail, CO, the citizens of which are soon to vote on whether or not to issue drone hunting licenses), those in the flying robotics community were simply stoked. Its similar to the venture that Google is making toward autonomous carsa big company throwing a lot of resources at solving a problem thats been stewing around in the academic research community for a decade or two, says Matthew Spenko, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology whos designed his own crash-proof quadrotor. With all that stewing, those researchers have a pretty good bead on what problems lie ahead for Amazon. We can control these quadrotors in well controlled environments, we can do the visual processing, says Spenko. Its there, we can do it. But its going to take an engineering effort. Much of that effort is likely to come from the robotics company Kiva Systems, North Reading, MA, which Amazon bought for $775 million last year. One of its co-founders, Raffaello DAndrea, is a professor who has pioneered what might be called aerobatic robotics. Days after the 60 Minutes piece aired, Kiva released a video showing how their quadcopters can remain airborne after one of its propellers becomes inoperable. DAndrea says that safety is of the utmost importance. Image: Amazon.com Smart Software The push for safety, and feasibility, and actuality, will have little to do with hardware development. With off-the-shelf systems (available through Amazon, of course), amateur enthusiasts can already fly, spy, and land similar quadrotors. Thats the easy part, says Spenko. The hard part is going to be the autonomy. A robot trying to get to a destination and back has to do all the things usually left to humans. That means reading a map, adjusting for wind and weather, making detours where necessary, dodging moving objects. The software needs to be smart enough to say, Hey this is a tree, this is a wirethese are hard problems, says Ashutosh Saxena, a professor of computer science at Cornell whos managed to make an autonomous quadrotor that can navigate stairs indoors. If you are trying to fly, and its fall and leaves are on the ground, how would you figure out that its not trees on the ground, that its on the ground and you can land on it? asks Saxena. Urban Setting In a world where robots routinely catch balls hurled at them, the problem may seem entirely surmountable. But as you move from clean controlled labs to busy ever-changing city streets, things get thornier. People on the street are not yellow objects, says Saxena. They look very different from each other, they dont follow Newtonian physics, they stoop and turn and jump randomlythats why people bump into each other.How you see the environment and then take action, avoiding people, and try to fly in a busy street or crowded city is more of a perception problem. And its not likely to be solved with more power, faster processors, or better sensors. Its just a matter of making the robots smarter. They can start deliveries in a few places, but as soon as they extend to larger scenarios its not possible to make such programs. The software isnt capable yet. A shift from the idyllic, uncluttered suburbia featured in their video clip to the urban centers that contain the vast number of customers Amazon hopes to reach by drone may require solutions beyond the technology. Im thinking about the street that I live on, says Spenko of his home in Chicago. It very different from the street in the Amazon video. Were very tied together, with small landing areas, all sorts of urban canyons where GPS would presumably die out. A four story duplexI dont think you could fly close to that. To get to such a home with current technological capabilities will mean altering laws and expectations. Perhaps the drones will be allowed to land on rooftops, or, as one of Spenkos students suggested, they could hitch rides on local transportation and take to the air for a final short leg of their journey. However tricky the hoops and hurdles the company will have to fly through and over, theyre not likely to stymie the project. Building up the whole system is a significant challenge, says Saxena. But these giants like Amazon are good at doing that. Michael Abrams is an independent writer. For Further Discussion The software needs to be smart enough to say 'Hey this is a tree, this is a wire'’ - these are hard problems.Prof. Ashutosh Saxena, Cornell University
