Sowing new pastures can be a bit of a rough ride around parts of Walgett, especially in a dry season. That’s why farmer, Greg Weber, of Weber Farming, has developed a new contraption which he calls the Grass Storm. It hangs from a helicopter from a 33.5 metre sling. Mr Weber has been sowing Mitchell grass for years, but his country can get rough and it is hard to get among the timber, so he now flies the seed on and uses his cattle to trample it in. “The idea was I just wanted to fly the seed on. No one would sit in a tractor – it was just that rough,” he said. However, it took a bit of trial and error before they had a machine that could not only easily be carried by a helicopter, but also handle the clumpy nature of the seed. “When we first built it, we had the six augers running in one direction, and all (the seed) did was balled and compacted at one end,” Mr Weber said. He changed the design so every second auger ran in alternating directions, so any seed that didn’t go through the hole and onto the paddock below was taken back to the start. Mr Weber’s new machine can carry 250 kilograms of seed per load, which does 80 hectares at a rate of three kilograms of seed a h...

With less than two weeks to go for the plastic ban to come into effect across Tamil Nadu, the state government has released a descriptive list of items that have been banned. In addition to this, the state has also recommended eco-friendly alternatives that it hopes will replace plastic. On World Environment Day this year, with a view to curb the effects of plastic on the environment, the Tamil Nadu government announced a ban of non-biodegradable and single-use plastic and had recommended the use of natural, environmental-friendly products. Explaining the dangers that the use of plastic has on the environment and on animals, Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami told the Assembly on June 5, “With the vision of gifting a plastic-free Tamil Nadu to our future generation, the government hereby bans the use of plastic goods of all sizes (microns).” The House Select Committee had also recommended the restricted use of plastic for daily-use products like milk, curd, oil and medicines. 1. a.

DedicationWith deepest respect, this article is dedicated to the extended families and friends of the astronauts lost on Columbia’s final Shuttle mission. On February 1, 2003, NASA’s Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia broke apart upon re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere, tragically ending the lives of seven highly-trained and experienced astronauts. This accident not only personally affected the extended families of the astronauts, it permanently changed the trajectory of the U.S. manned space program. After a lengthy accident investigation and root cause analysis, the Shuttle successfully flew again on July 26, 2005. The Shuttle’s subsequent 22 missions made possible the completion of the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS) and provided a final service call for the Hubble Space Telescope, before the Shuttle fleet was retired in 2011. While much has been written about the Shuttle program, this specific article will focus on a very little-known element of the Shuttle’s return-to-flight (RTF) story. Beginning with the Columbia investigation and ending with the creation and deployment of the NASA Ascent Debris Radar (NDR) System, this article will cover the “Electromagne...

It started with a “sign bunny,” a simple social media meme with the outline of a rabbit holding up a placard that reads, “VAPING ISN’T A SAFE REPLACEMENT FOR CIGARETTES.” The tweet, posted nearly a week ago by New Jersey Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal and pinned to the top of his Twitter account, called into question the vape industry’s suggestion that e-cigarettes are a safe way to quit or reduce tobacco use. The post collected more than 1,200 likes and hundreds of re-tweets and comments. |￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣|| VAPING ISN’T || A SAFE || REPLACEMENT || FOR CIGARETTES | | ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ | (__/) || (•ㅅ•) || / 　 づ “There was much more support for the bunny than opposition,” Elnahal said Wednesday in a phone interview. But advocates for vapes — electronic devices that heat a nicotine-infused oil to create a vapor that is inhaled — note that these e-cigarettes don’t deliver the same cancer-causing tar that makes traditional smokes so deadly and can allow people to curb their addiction. They believe vapes should be considered alongside other nicotine treatment options like patches and gums. So Elnahal’s tweet got the attention of vape shops and industry ...

At this year’s LASER World of PHOTONICS, Ocean Optics will be transformed into Ocean Insight to reflect the compa...

B.C. artist Natali Leduc thrives on building the unique and unusual, so it’s no surprise to those who know her that her latest project involved the creation of a 3,500-pound riveted steel banana peel designed for this year’s Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Christened the Jokeatron 5200, the 12-foot-tall sculpture allows visitors to walk inside, record a joke that is broadcast to festivalgoers, and then bask in the glow of a pre-recorded laugh track. It’s not the wildest creation to emerge from Leduc’s North Saanich studio. She previously designed and built the Churnatron 1400 — a two-storey bicycle for four riders that makes ice cream — which debuted in Houston’s Art Car Parade. “Four of the churns were mechanical and two were electrical, powered by batteries,” Leduc recalls. “You could make six different flavours of delicious ice cream at the same time.” Leduc isn’t a career metalworker. She works in wood and found objects and also engages in performance art. “The first time I used a welder was when I borrowed one from a friend,” she says. “It was a Lincoln 110-volt MIG welder. It came with a little book of instructions. I read the booklet and that’s how I ...

“High levels of up-front expenditure, both in development and hardware, characterise the space, typically demanding large scale pain points before investment begins.” In my role as a technical lead at Cambridge Consultants I work on a variety of projects for clients across a broad range of industries. Empowered by continuously improving machine intelligence and capability an increasing number of these projects sit at the intersection of robotics and AI. The two terms are so broadly used that it will be helpful for us to create shared and simple definitions for the purposes of this article. In general parlance, the term “AI” is used to refer to machines that can solve tasks considered difficult for machines at that point in time. Due to technological advances the complexity and capabilities of systems considered to be AI by this definition therefore increases as time passes. Rather than defining the derivative term “robotics” we should instead describe what a robot is. I’ll adapt a definition given by MIT Media Lab Roboticist Kate Darling: “A robot is a physical machine that can execute tasks autonomously.” A Kuka 6 degree of freedom arm, rigidly following a simple s...
