Blade makes the cut in Hull
The Blade being lowered into position in Queen Victoria Square in Hull.

Nayan Kulkarni is being hailed as "the new Anish Kapoor" after his dramatic artwork – a 75 metre (250ft) wind turbine blade – was installed in the East Yorkshire city of Hull.
It has taken a major feat of engineering to manoeuvre the 28-tonne Blade, as the installation is called, diagonally across Queen Victoria Square in the centre of Hull, which the government has decreed the "UK's City of Culture 2017".
More than 50 items of street furniture, including traffic lights and lamp posts, have had to be removed to facilitate its journey into the city centre.
The Blade is positioned a metre from the ground at one end rising to 5.5 metres at the other, so "that a double-decker bus can pass underneath it".
"Carefully positioned, it forces us to drift around its arabesque edges, our sight taking the place of the breeze," said Kulkarni. "The twisting wing although inert and at rest in the street, speaks of movement, but not of freedom."

Talking about the influences on his life, Kulkarni said: "I am a classic child of the diaspora – my father, Deepak Kulkarni was an architect from Bombay who worked all over the world. My mother is from the Wirral. I was born in Norwich in 1969."
The Blade commission arose "from a conversation I had with curators involved in the Hull City of Culture", he explained.
The Blade recalls some of Anish Kapoor's biggest installations, notably the 500ft Marsyas, which occupied the entire length of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in 2002.
The city authorities described Kulkarni as "a multimedia artist, whose work is generated from specific concepts, processes or places through diverse media such as light, video, installation, sculpture and photography".
"Blade is a dramatic addition to Nayan Kulkarni's ongoing engagement with ideas of place, time, technology and perception," they added. "Kulkarni's recent works include Hryre, a major lighting installation in Chester and The Three Graces, commissioned to Illuminate York 2015."
The rotor blade has been manufactured in fibreglass locally by the German firm Siemens, which has made a £310 million investment in Hull's economy.
"Blade is a dramatic, yet graceful addition to Hull's city centre."
Siemens UK chief executive Juergen Maier said: "Blade brings to life the engineering and manufacturing excellence of which we are so proud. We hope people enjoy it. When people see our blades close up they often comment on how beautifully crafted they are. This installation will enable many thousands of people to appreciate that beauty and scale in the very heart of the city."
Blade was returned to Siemens on March 18. Martin Green, CEO and director Hull 2017, commented: "Nayan Kulkarni's Blade is a dramatic, yet graceful addition to Hull's city centre.
"Despite its size, what is striking about the sculpture is its elegance. It's a structure we would normally expect out at sea and in a way it might remind you of a giant sea creature, which seems appropriate with Hull's maritime history."

I enjoyed the graphic novels. The art in the first two was very good. The stories were quite compressed, though, which was a little disappointing (because I wanted more).
I'm also in the middle of Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells. Martha Wells is one of my very favorite authors. I've added Stargate: Atlantis to my Netflix queue solely because she has started writing S:A novels, which I can't really appreciate as much because I've never seen the show. I read her other novels probably about once a year.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get 'em laminated.

Instead of using the tripod socket on your camera, it is normally recommended to use the socket on the lens mount adapter when connecting a tripod. When connecting a smaller prime or wide-angle lens, this helps distribute weight more evenly and reduces stress on the lens mount of the camera.
However, for large telephoto lenses like those listed below do not use the tripod socket on the lens mount adapter. Connect the tripod to the tripod socket on the lens itself.


Since our childhood we are, trained in to fight this enemy to our teeth called plaque. Regular brushing, flossing is one proven way to keep plaque away. Luton Dentist, say you can knock plaque off by putting a stop to below mentioned bad habits that result in causing plaque on teeth.
First, let us know about tooth plaque, it is a sticky blend produced by bacteria and the substances secreted by them. Bacteria emit chemical named Mucopolysaccharide, which turns into a thin film like sheet known as biofilm. If you were watchful, then you would notice a thin slimy sheet formed inside a fish tank, which is similar to biofilm and is easy to clean with washcloth. If the film remains unnoticed and left, alone it becomes harmful.
Similarly, the bacteria present discharges acids that cause severe damage to the tooth enamel. Frequent acidic assaults on enamel would make holes in teeth called cavity. If plaque left untreated it will pile up, further harden, give birth to calculus, and then form tartar.
Tartar is high-level plaque that needs dental care, this if untreated may cause gum disease like gingivitis. It is vital to keep away from bad habits, especially, which influence our dental health.
Irregular brushing: You may be happy that no one is aware about you skipping brushing. Get alarmed your teeth are and plaque just awaits such opportunity. Each day you do the same, in no time layers of plaque will deposit causing tooth decay. The key is to brush twice a day, using a soft brush and cover all areas of your mouth.
Skip flossing: Unfortunately, toothbrush fails to reach places between the teeth and plaque dwells there. The only way to kick out plaque is to use a dental floss prior brushing twice a day. Alternatively, those who feel discomfort when flossing or dislike it can use products designed by ADA for cleaning between teeth's. Note to take dentist approval prior purchase.
Avoiding Mouth Rinse: We often neglect rinsing our mouth and fall prey to problems like bad breath, gum disease gingivitis and plaque debris. Your teeth cleaning twice a day must consist of flossing, brushing and rinsing. An antibacterial mouthwash is good to use. Avoid too much minty / alcohol based mouthwashes.
Visiting Dentist rarely: Even if you have a best dental hygiene, it is must to visit a dentist for regular oral checkup. Minimum of two cleanings a year so that you good oral health is maintained.
Sweet Tooth: Consuming too many sweets or high sugar not only causes teeth problems but also root cause of a severe disease like diabetes. All the candy treats / soft drinks and sugar bite offs are the worst food to your teeth.
These above listed faulty habits are under our control, we can take due care and protect our teeth from plaque and other dental diseases.

Last Friday I wrote a guest post for some colleagues who have a blog focused on fitness in the Washington, D.C. area.
It documents my first week with a nutrition and food experiment called Whole30. It is a paleo plan that is a bit more extreme than most — no sugars at all. No honey. Nothing but carrots and sweet potatoes and beets for the sweet stuff — or fruit.
It has been hard. Headaches. Grouchiness. Some hunger. A whole new layer of discipline. It also has some upsides. I'll do guest posts on my progress and observations throughout the month of April.
Some good, and back across the table, some bad.
Two nights ago, I had a bad workout. Not horrid. No injury, no bonk, no loss of basic bodily functions. But bad. I couldn't get my heart rate up for the intervals. I was slow. I felt thick in the legs and despite the beautiful weather and calm breeze, couldn't even appreciate the river and the springtime blooms.
Yesterday, I bounced back with a surprise opportunity to swim during the lunch hour. I made up a workout on the way to the pool and put in a really big effort of 4,200 meters by doing a warmup followed by 2×600 r. :30, 3×400 r. :20, 4×200 r. :10 and then 5×100 r. :05 easy. But the evening the ball bounced to the other side of the table and I fell asleep — totally conked out — on the floor of the living room with three kids still awake, Harry Potter on my chest and nearly every light in the house on. Eventually, they put themselves to bed, I woke up after midnight hugely uncomfortable and despite waking this morning to a big mess I finally got the dishes under control. Net result, bad sleep and I missed a brick workout. I hate missing brick workouts.
I need to get the metaphorical ball over the net — back onto the good side of the table.
Back and forth — from good to bad — trying to find consistency.

Utah's national parks could see extra funding to help them through COVID-19 pandemic
Terell Wilkins
St. George Spectrum & Daily News
National parks across the U.S. could face dire financial straits during the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, with no visitors expected at many parks for an extended period of time.
The Coalition to Protect America's National Parks is now recommending a stimulus package for parks that authors say would protect parks both now and after the coronavirus has passed.
The "Great American Outdoors Act" would give permanent funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, providing a cushion for Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and others to soften the financial uncertainty of the crisis.
Philip Francis, Chair of the Executive Council for the CPANP, said the fund would address maintenance backlogs and provide infrastructure inside the parks that could better accommodate visitors and contribute more to local economies.
"We want to see the Land and Water Conservation Fund fully funded for once because it hasn't been in the past and that's the most important thing at this point," Francis said.
Funding the LWCF would also create more access points on existing public lands and build more close-to-home parks and trails across the country and in Utah.
Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) said he supported the long-term effects of the bill by saying of "our natural infrastructure has to be part of our broader national infrastructure initiative."
In Utah, where the state's "Mighty Five" national parks are major drivers of tourism economies that dominate many rural counties, the funding could be especially impactful.
Funding for the future
The bill itself has 58 cosponsors from both parties represented in the Senate and Francis says that it is now up to Congress to decide when they want to sign it into law.
"The act itself has bipartisan support from both sides of Congress and the President so I think it's just up to them to get it passed and to build up our capacity to help address our infrastructure needs," Francis said. "This would make a big difference because these are important lands, so this would be a real boost for challenges important to our country as well."
COVID-19 didn't stop overtourism in Utah's national parks and communities A child so sick they feared the worst, now they urge change Even with COVID-19 vaccines in sight, we must remain vigilant Coronavirus cancellations: Updates on COVID-19-related changes in St. George, Cedar City
One area of the Great American Outdoors Act that Francis mentions is the fact that the money would not come out of the pockets of the people.
"It doesn't really increase taxes and would provide a funding source for once so that's been hard to come by," Francis said. "You're talking about close to $40 billion worth of economic impact to local communities around the country here so it helps create jobs and help protect the special places we hold so dear."
The Great American Outdoors Act, also known as S.3422, would develop the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund that would begin to support the maintenance projects on federal lands nationwide and in Utah.
Currently, the bill is on the Legislative Calendar to be decided on at a later date.

Coffee vs. Tea: Which One Is Better for You?
Both beverages have a legion of loyal drinkers, but is one group edging out the other in terms of health benefits?
Both coffee and tea are brimming with ingredients that are beneficial to the body in their own ways, but the dynamic interaction between them may be what's of greatest benefit to you. So does one rank as more virtuous than the other? Read on to find out.
"Coffee has been linked to decreased risk of Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes," says Kimberly Gomer, MS, RD, LDN, director of nutrition at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa in Miami.
It's also been shown to lower the risk of some cancers, including endometrial cancer and non-melanoma skin cancer. A study of more than 500,000 people across the world concluded that coffee drinking was associated with reduced risk of death from various causes. This was even true in people who drank as many as eight cups per day!
Just don't load up your morning joe with sugar and cream or you may erase the good benefits entirely. These signs suggest you may be drinking too much coffee.
"Tea and green tea, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, contain ingredients that have many health benefits including reduced risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and gum disease," Gomer says.
Those ingredients include antioxidants and polyphenols, compounds that may also help lower blood pressure, reduce cognitive decline, lower your stroke risk, and improve weight loss.
What's more, research shows that regular tea drinkers have less inflammation, perhaps thanks to a compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Inflammation is connected to many medical conditions, from arthritis to heart disease. EGCG could lower the risk of plaque formations in the brain that are associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Tea gets the leg up for one reason only: the plethora of powerful antioxidants and polyphenols. Yes, coffee has them, too, but tea often has them in higher concentrations.
Of course, if you are sensitive to caffeine, you may need to avoid both. Coffee has more than tea—about 92 milligrams per cup—but tea still racks up about 50 milligrams.
"The caffeine in either may pose an issue to those sensitive to it, such as tremors, increased anxiousness, or disruption in sleep," says Beth Warren, MS, RDN, CDN, founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Secrets of a Kosher Girl.
But if you find yourself in the camp of people who drink both regularly, even better. Research suggests that people who drink a combination of coffee and tea daily have a lower risk of death compared to people who drink coffee exclusively. Thinking of switching your brew of choice?

Was the Human Genome Project a Success?
In 2000, President Bill Clinton announced that the first draft of The Human Genome Project was finalized, and the findings were going to "revolutionize the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of most, if not all, diseases." The Human Genome Project was an international, collaborative research program whose goal was to identify, or sequence, the genetic blueprint, of human beings, understand the genetic roots of common diseases and seek treatment.
While the original goal was to sequence all three billion chemical units in the human instruction set, mapping the entire genome was far too costly for the technology available in 1989 – so an innovative workaround was devised: Instead of sequencing the entire genome, the project would focus on areas within the genome where humans have divergent DNA. The theory being that by spotting variations in specific areas of the genome, and correlating them with major diseases, it would be possible to isolate the genetic fingerprint of certain illnesses.
Unfortunately, this approach was not as successful as hoped. Some diseases we isolated this way, but only a small fraction of them. It turns out that many of the illnesses that were being sought out were related to a large number of variants, and the data wasn't there to provide the statistical significance needed.
Did this mean that the project wasn't successful? Not necessarily. Since that time, gene sequencing costs have fallen so this approach would be feasible in the future, and the project did provide direction for the next phase of research. We may be still years away from discovering what causes common diseases and finding appropriate treatments but what we do have is the human framework. If we didn't know the genetic sequencing, this wouldn't be possible. Meanwhile, the project may have transformed the biological sciences, which has led to other initiatives.
The Human Microbiome Project
One of those initiatives is the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute. It was a conceptual extension of the Human Genome Project. It began in 2008 to study the human as a "superorganism" composed of non-human and human cells. One of its major roles was to map the human microbiome and its role in human health and disease. Over a period of 5-years, the Human Microbiome Project studied 300 healthy individuals, both male and female. One of the first surprises from this study was that there may over 8 million unique microbial genes associated with the microbiomes across the human body compared to the total number of genes. What this says is that the genetic contribution of the microbiome to the human superorganism may be many hundreds of times greater than the genetic contribution from the human genome.
What is the human microbiome and why is it so important?
The human microbiome is the genetic material of every microbe – bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses – that lives in and on the human body and it is critical for our human health. Our bodies are a very complex ecosystem and for every one human gene we have, there are 100 associated genes within our microbiome. More than 100 trillion microorganisms live in our mouth, skin and other mucosal surfaces of our bodies but the vast majority of them live in our gut, primarily our large intestine. These microbes have numerous beneficial functions such as digesting food, preventing disease-causing pathogens from invading the body, and synthesizing essential nutrients and vitamins. When there is dysfunction in the microbiome, unhealthy microbes accumulate which result in abnormal immune responses. In other words, we get sick.
The Unique Microbial Footprint
Interestingly, the microbiome was not recognized to exist untill the late 1990s. Since then, researchers mapping the human microbiome are discovering how a person's microbiome may influence their vulnerability and weaken the immune system as well as leave them susceptible to disease. Research also shows our microbiome is unique to us. Even twins have different microbiomes. According to a related study, human genetics may not even play a major role in dictating microbiome composition.
It's interesting to see the similarities between the two projects and certainly advancements are being made in both areas that will eventually lead to new treatments and therapies. We're especially excited to see so much advancement being made in the study of the microbiome the "second genome", as it relates to what we've been saying for quite some time.

The Kombucha Kraze: What You Need to Know Part II
In the past couple of blogs, we have been discussing how probiotics are popping up everywhere - in coffee, cereal, dog food, and cleaning products. We explained spore-forming bacteria and why they are convenient to the manufacturer but may have no benefit to the consumer. Then, we took a closer look at kombucha -- we went over the ingredients in the drink, the heavy sugar load often associated with these drinks, common homebrew issues, some risks for biological and chemical contaminants...
The Kombucha Kraze: What You Need to Know
Kombucha is a beverage produced by fermenting sweet tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria. The culture is often referred to as a SCOBY - or a Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast and frequently referred to as a "mother" or "mushroom" (because of the shape it takes on).
Probiotics in Your Coffee? Granola Bar? Cleaning Products?
Have you noticed that probiotics are popping up everywhere? And it's not just in the form of supplements anymore, suddenly they're in coffee pods, granola bars, cleaning products, and even Fido's dry dog food? If you've been following along with our blogs here at Natren, you know that we are pretty adamant about how we handle our products -- being careful to ship our probiotics in thermally-controlled boxes with gel-ice packs and even dry ice in the summertime. Why? Because they are living microorganisms that can be damaged by overexposure to light, heat, and moisture.

Lion King versus Beauty and the Beast

Location: Massachusetts, USA
Which film, Lion King or Beauty and the beast do you like better and why?
I like Lion King better because it has cute and lovable characters

The Lion King. I just want to remind you that This Or That often brings in the fab four. You can easily ask this question there.
I understand that you created this thread for people to write why they like the movie so much. Very well...
I like The Lion Kingbecause of the animation and the storyline. Beauty and the Beasthas a great heroine and an interesting storyline, but somehow I just don't like it as much.

I like the animation in the ballroom scene and the enchanted rose. The Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts are cute characters.

Beauty and the Beast, without a doubt. The Lion King is excellent, but Beauty has a better story, cast of characters, and musical score. This and Pocahontas are the most mature romance stories in the Disney canon, in my opinion.

Beauty & the Beast for me. Even though Aladdin and Treasure Planet are my favorites, I consider B&tB the best animated film of all time. Everything comes together so well it's scary. The songs are some of the best ever seen in musicals. Plus Angela Lansbury fits the mood perfectly when she sings the title song.
Timon/Pumbaa fan
Lion King all the way. Excellent music, colorful characters, and timeless story based on Hamlet and fabulous animation I say Lion King is one of the greatest films of all time! Beauty and the Beast is great too in alot of ways but just isn't as enjoyable as Lion King IMO!
For me, it's a tie. They're both unique in their own special way.
Beauty And The Beast has romance with Beast and Belle and the villian Gaston.
The Lion King has romance with Simba and Nala and the villians Scar and the three hyenas.

Beauty and the Beast, without a doubt

Man, I love Beauty and the Beast. I'm a tad obsessed with it, actually. It's one of the most romantic movies of all time, plus it's squeaky clean and has cute characters for the kids. What other movie can boast that? And the music is absolutely wonderful. By far my favourite movie of all time (with Lion King coming in second).

I think I like Beauty and the Beast more. I love MANY things, I'm too lazy to list them since many, or all, have been mentioned by others. However, I just love how Belle and the Beast grow closer together, and how the Beast changes for the better -- all due to love.
I get very emotional in the 'final battle' scene and when the Beast dies.
I also like the relationship between Belle et la Bette. The final scene is emotional. I have to watch the movie again because I forgot how the movie ended.

I like Beauty and the Beast better. It seems more like a "classic" because Lion King is so up-beat, colourful and new. I like the romance of BATB better than the comedy in TLK.

The Lion King is not all about comedy, if you didn' notice. Beauty and the Beast is a very well done animated classic and is one of my personal favorites but it lost some of its appeal to me. I used to enjoy watching it, but now that I do, I just feel like skipping the movie to the parts I wanna watch. (Ballroom sequence, Be our Guest, West Wing.) I can't wait for one part to come and I tend to ignore the rest of the movie. Maybe because I'm a guy and the romance thing won't appeal to me as much as TLK.
The relationship between Nala and Simba in TLK is not one of its major plots, but the journey of Simba who forgot his past and was afraid to face it when it came back to him. The relationship between father and son is something I relate to in real life, and of course some of the best songs I've ever heard. I also like the animation better in TLK (from the grandeur sunrise to the majesty that is the ending.)
They're both really good movies but I'll go with my all-time favorite movie The Lion King.
I've only heard one fart joke in the whole movie so don't get me started on that subject, that's the way Pumba is and that's why nobody likes him except his faithful pals Timon and Simba.
Thanks to Rafiki from Lea for this awesome siggy!

Sorry, I just don't like the manner in the way that it was approached in the movie. I agree with everything you said, but I hate it when film-makers reduce themselves to fart jokes in order to amuse young ones.
Besides, no need to get all worked up. We all have our opinions! And don't get me wrong, it's one of the best movies out there, so I can see why you love it so much!

UN calls on China to respect right to peaceful protests
The United Nations has urged Chinese government not to detain people simply for taking part in peaceful protests.
By India Today Web Desk New Delhi, November 28, 2022
The United Nations (UN) on Monday urged China to respect the right to peaceful protests in the country. The UN asked Chinese government not to detain people just for participating in the peaceful agitation, as Beijing tries to control the nationwide series of protests and demonstrations.
"We call on the authorities to respond to protests in line with international human rights laws and standards. No one should be arbitrarily detained for peacefully expressing their opinions," news agency AFP quoted UN Human Rights Office spokesman Jeremy Laurence as saying.
Earlier in the day, even the United States said that China's zero-Covid policy is unlikely to work and reaffirmed that everyone around the world has the right to protest peacefully.
"We've said that zero-COVID is not a policy we are pursuing here in the United States. And as we have said, we think it's going to be very difficult for the People's Republic of China to be able to contain this virus through their zero-COVID strategy," a spokesperson of the White House National Security Council told PTI.
Demonstrations are held across China against the strict enforcement of its zero-Covid policy. Under the new rule, authorities have blocked apartment buildings or even cordoned off a neighbourhood once a resident tests Covid-19 positive, causing great inconvenience to the people.
Several regions in China had been under lockdown for more than three months, and people blamed the lockdown for the deaths.
The Chinese police have even barricaded a street in Shanghai where protesters have gathered for the last two nights in anticipation of further rallies against the government's rigid policies to tackle Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
Protesters want the Chinese government to lift the lockdown. Meanwhile, some groups decried censorship and called for democracy and an end to the rule of President Xi Jinping.

Teams can benefit from our systemic team training to achieve team goals and resolve team conflicts. We coach team leaders to develop healthy relationships and improve productivity, and we coach individual team members to manage any resistance to healthy productivity, cooperation and collaboration.
Few groups of people can truthfully be called teams. Managing groups rarely needs the skills and dedication required for effective team leadership. Organizing people or overseeing workgroups requires far less skill than developing those groups into competent, inspired and cooperating teams.
Perhaps you are a member of a group that you know could do better – maybe a lot better – and you would like to be an effective leader. Imagine that you repeatedly see the following actions during meetings … how might a competent leader react?
If you don't know how to solve these problems smoothly and you want to be an effective team leader – you could probably benefit from our coaching or training. We coach teams and team leaders to manage problems while taking steps towards defining and achieving worthwhile goals. Our team training offers both short-term results and long-term development.
Candidates for leadership usually demonstrate superior accomplishments and can inspire people to embody the core competencies and values of an organization. Dressing for success and pretty certificates are not enough. You can maximize your potential with our leadership coaching.
Teams and organizations need leaders, and leadership skills enhance your success within your organization. Leadership skills benefit both you and your organization … enhance your income, productivity, greater job satisfaction and success towards your objectives.
All teams start as groups – do you want to coach groups to develop into teams? Or do you want to coach so-so team leaders to become effective? Or perhaps both?
Do your core values match the values of your team? If you are trying to force people to change their values … well, good luck. An early step should be to assess the team values – and your own – and check that they match.
If you are highly success oriented and the team is highly relationship oriented or stability oriented or survival oriented … what can you do? If your values do not match the team values, there are solutions.
What type of team leader do you want to be? A dictator? An absent manager? A motivator? A supportive parent? You leadership skills may need fine-tuning. The Golden Rule (the person with the gold makes the rules) may work with desperate or needy people, for a short time anyway. It may also work for gang leadership – but probably not for effective team leadership.
are strong conflicts between team member's individual goals and the team's collective goals.
We can identify the underlying structure of team problems and help provide clear team goals. Focus on shared values and support members who want to excel. We coach leaders to discuss team objectives and balance team relationships.
Do you want to manage emotional problems and solve relationship issues?
Do you want to boost productivity and quality?

Avidbots expands Neo's capabilities with Disinfection Add-On for autonomous sanitation of high-touch surfaces
KITCHENER, ONTARIO, September 21, 2021 — Avidbots, one of the world's leading robotics companies, announced today the launch of its Disinfection Add-On, expanding the functionality of the company's fully autonomous floor-scrubbing robot, Neo. With the Disinfection Add-On, customers can now autonomously disinfect high-touch, 3-D surfaces with Neo 2, in addition to floor care, delivering an even more efficient, consistent and measurable clean.
"The days of having single-purpose robots for specific tasks are behind us. A robot must be multi-functional to meet the ever-evolving needs of customers," said Pablo Molina, CTO, VP of Product, Chairman and Co-founder, Avidbots. "With the Disinfection Add-On, our customers can disinfect surfaces for a few hundred dollars per month — this is more than 10x savings when compared to having a separate robot or human completing the same task. The Disinfection Add-On truly multiplies the value of the Neo platform. As facilities across the globe reopen and welcome back their employees, customers and visitors, Neo provides disinfection at a low cost to help our customers keep up with the new normal, creating a safe and healthy environment."
Spraying touch surfaces with a disinfectant is widely used, but not all operators are cleaning properly or consistently. Facility managers are working hard to meet increased cleaning protocols and show proof that facilities are safe, but it can be a significant time commitment to disinfect high-touch surfaces like seating, work surfaces, garbage cans, doors and kiosks, to name a few. The Disinfection Add-On reallocates labor to value-add activities and, most importantly, creates a healthier and safer environment for customers.
"As we welcome students, faculty and staff back to campus, we are focused on ensuring the safest environment possible. Innovation is the cornerstone of the Rochester Institute of Technology, and we're always looking for breakthrough technology that can solve our day-to-day challenges," said Derek Sylvester, Director of Building Environmental Services at Rochester Institute of Technology. "One of the most pressing challenges is not only maintaining a clean campus, but people wanting to see what's being done to keep them healthy. The visibility of our Neo fleet autonomously disinfecting common area touch points and cleaning floors provides peace of mind. Through Neo and its new sprayer add-on, we know with certainty that we are achieving an effective and consistent clean every time."
The CDC recommends the daily cleaning of high-touch surfaces to sufficiently remove the virus that causes COVID-19, including the Delta variant, and help maintain a healthy facility. More frequent cleaning of surfaces is encouraged if the space is a high traffic area, which can increase the risk of infection from touching surfaces.
With the new functionality, facilities can more efficiently follow these recommendations, leveraging the latest electrostatic spraying technology and ensuring uniform 3-D coverage of surfaces. This includes hidden and indirectly sprayed ones, for the most complete coverage. Additionally, the sprayer uses less chemical solution compared to traditional methods. This proven approach ensures disinfection chemicals do not dry out in the air before reaching the target, effectively covering and ensuring proper dwell time on high-touch surfaces.
"At Avidbots, we're creating the future today, enabling our customers to focus on what they do best today, tomorrow and for years to come," says Faizan Sheikh, CEO and Co-founder of Avidbots. "We're proud to release the Disinfection Add-On, expanding our offerings, setting a more robust standard for cleaning and leveraging the significant value of robotics."
Like Neo, the Disinfection Add-On is powered by the Avidbots Autonomy and takes the guesswork out of disinfection while delivering full autonomy. Neo truly understands its operating environment, avoiding anyone or anything, and takes actions to maximize cleaning and disinfection productivity while minimizing human intervention. At the same time, the Avidbots Command Center provides detailed reporting and performance measurements for monitoring, managing and tracking Neo remotely and in real-time.
Avidbots robotics solutions are used throughout the world in various high-traffic environments such as manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, education, retail, airports and transit hubs. To learn more about the Disinfection Add-On or to request a demonstration, visit the Avidbots Disinfection Add-On page.

Avidbots is a robotics company with a vision to bring robotic solutions into everyday life to increase organizational productivity and to do that better than any other company in the world. Their groundbreaking product, the Neo autonomous floor scrubbing robot, is deployed around the world and trusted by leading facilities and building service companies. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kitchener, ON, Canada, Avidbots is offering comprehensive service and support to customers on five continents.

Stassi Schroeder & Tom Sandoval Face Off On 'Vanderpump Rules,' Is She Still Dating Patrick Meagher?
Lindsay Cronin
Things are about to get tense between Stassi Schroeder and Tom Sandoval.
During tonight's third installment of the Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Reunion, Stassi Schroeder is seen chatting with Tom Schwartz about their confrontation early on in the season, and after Andy Cohen asks why he ultimately forgave her for shutting out Katie Maloney years ago and invite her to their engagement party, Tom Sandoval chimes in.
"[Stassi Schroeder] knew those tears would get him!" Sandoval proclaimed in a sneak peek of the April 4 episode of the Bravo reality series.
"Well, I do think they were authentic tears, Tom says they were alligator tears," Schwartz explains. "I thought she was being sincere and I thought she had earned it. Maybe I'm a sucker."

— Bravo Producer (@bravoproducer) March 28, 2016
"I'm not saying those tears weren't real," Sandoval then says, turning to Stassi Schroeder. "I just feel like you are a smart enough person to know, like, 'Okay, I'm going to go in there, Schwartz is going to b—h me out, I'm going to feel bad… If I start crying he's going to feel bad. And, at the end of the day, I'll probably get what I want. It will probably work.'"
In response to Sandoval's accusation, Stassi Schroeder explains that she didn't expect Schwartz would be like that at all, and went on to accuse Sandoval of being calculated in his thinking. But Sandoval didn't address the issue, and instead continued his conversation, noting that Stassi Schroeder snapped at Schwartz during their chat.
"For me to go and humble myself like that, it sucked. I don't like it. I hate apologizing," Stassi Schroeder says, adding that Sandoval would be mad at her if she apologized, or if she didn't.

In other Stassi Schroeder news, fans are once again wondering whether or not she's still dating her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Patrick Meagher, and in looking at her recent social media feed, there is reason to believe there may be trouble in paradise.
In addition to recently deleting a birthday message previously shared for Meagher on Twitter, Stassi Schroeder also removed a photo of herself and Meagher from Instagram last month and hasn't posted any new photos of him in the last two-and-a-half months.
During Vanderpump Rules Season 4, Stassi Schroeder often discussed her up-and-down romance with Meagher, whom she began dating after Season 2, and during one scene with Kristen Doute, she explained their main issues.
"There's a lot of s**t going on in my life, especially with Patrick," Stassi Schroeder explained during an episode of the Bravo reality series earlier this year. "We went from a long distance relationship to living with each other for a while in New York to then living with each in L.A. It was like we went from 0 to old married couple over night."
"I feel like I was co-dependent a little bit on Patrick, and I just don't feel like fighting anymore with anyone," she continued. "For two years I've invested so much in Patrick that now I'm realizing that I've compromised a lot of friendships and I've handled things poorly, but I don't think it's completely my fault."
Stassi Schroeder has yet to confirm or deny whether or not she and Meagher split after the season wrapped filming months ago.
For more Stassi Schroeder, tune into the Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Reunion, Part 3, airing tonight, April 4, at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

[6.02] Ecommerce News You Should Know: Indonesia's Salim Group Plans Digital Payments Push
Here's what you should know today.
1. After bank takeover, Indonesia's Salim Group plans push in digital payments
Indonesia's largest conglomerate, Salim Group, has acquired a majority stake in a local bank.
Through various affiliated entities, the group bought at least 51% of Bank Ina Perdana by subscribing to new shares issued by the Indonesia-listed lender. The acquisition value is estimated at $42 million.
In recent years, the smartphone boom has created a new wave of demand for financial services such as electronic payments and peer-to-peer lending. Salim decided that operating its own bank and building a financial backbone would be crucial for running an end-to-end digital business, which it has been developing since 2013.
"It makes sense for us to refocus on banking because the transactions carried out by the banks are becoming quite big," said a Salim executive.
The group is also eyeing peer-to-peer money transfers and loans using Indomaret stores as a bank branch. Edy Kuntardjo, Bank Ina's president, said the bank expects to roll out some of these services in 2018, subject to regulatory approval.
2. US firm Vemanti to acquire Vietnam's tech conglomerate Two Group
The deal is seen as a first step for the American firm towards making strategic investments in Vietnam and the rest of Southeast Asia.
Two Group, founded in 2013, owns four ventures in e-commerce, location navigation, content streaming and social media verticals, all "operational and revenue-generating", Vemanti said. Vemanti, founded by overseas Vietnamese Tan Tran, said the transaction, once ratified and finalized, will create a framework to capitalize on the fast growing internet economy of Vietnam, especially in ecommerce and online advertising.
Two Group ventures include Kay.vn, a platform that enables merchants to set up online stores; Diadiem.com, a B2B data mapping provider serving customers including Google Maps and Navteq; Yume.vn, a content curation social network with over 3 million users; and YouTube channel 16Plus for bloggers and social media influencers.

3. Recommended Reading: Why is Wal-Mart betting big on ecommerce acquisitions
The brick-and-mortar giant has been gobbling up online retail startups at a record pace.
The payoff has been swift: In its most recent quarter, Wal-Mart's e-commerce sales ballooned 63% with an attendant 69% rise in digital gross merchandise volume, as same-store sales increased 1.4% and traffic to stores rose 1.5%
For a retailer that has staked its enduring success on the physical landscape, this pace has garnered kudos from many analysts. Moody's Investors Service Lead Retail Analyst Charlie O'Shea called the post-Jet acquisitions "small, but tactically-important.
"Retailers need someone to run the business and secure their assets, but they also that disrupter to agitate a bit and spark that renewal. That's the Marc Lore play at Wal-Mart," says Greg Portell, lead partner in the retail practice of A.T. Kearney.

[3.22] Ecommerce News You Should Know: Korea's Lotte Dept. Store Launch Shops For Online Brands
1. Lotte Department Stores take in Korean online retailers
Online retailers in Korea are set to open 13 outlets at Lotte Department Store branches in the next three months.
"Online brands are continuously expanding into offline stores to raise their brand value and to receive real-time feedback from consumers," says Lotte Department Store.
As these brands gain traction against traditional fashion houses, they start opening brick-and-mortar outlets as well, first as showrooms then as stores.
Lotte Department Store's first offline store was for Style Nanda in 2012. Now about 100 online brands have offline outlets at Lotte's department stores.
2. Nestle Malaysia partners with Shopee to target growth
Nestle Malaysia has picked Shopee, a mobile-first marketplace, as its latest online shopping partner in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, targeting $225 thousand growth (RM1 million).
The company's gross profit for the year saw an increase of 7.1% which contributed to the higher turnover resulting in favourable commodity prices and stronger operational efficiency in the factories and supply chain. The company cited ecommerce as one of the most powerful growth engines.
3. Japanese department store Matsuya to open Chinese online shop
The department store operator will partner with Chinese businesses having know-how about the local e-commerce sector. Until now, Matsuya's only ecommerce presence in China had been on platforms such as online malls. Products will be shipped from Japan. Matsuya will also increase advertising and promotions in China.
E-commerce sales from Japan to China are forecast to reach $20.4 billion by 2019, according to Japan's trade ministry.

[3.17] Morning Round-Up: Walmart's Jet.com to Buy Online Fashion Retailer Modcloth
Here's what you should know.
1. Walmart's Jet.com to buy fashion retailer ModCloth for less than $75m
The deal, which had already been rumored, is almost finalized and will fetch a price tag between $50 million and $75 million.
Walmart has been snapping up smaller online retailers in recent months
The acquisition comes after a series of struggles for ModCloth, including several rounds of layoffs. The company saw little growth in 2014, and reduced its engineering team to just over half a dozen.
Walmart explained that it's increasingly interested in the apparel category, given it's now one of the largest for online retail.
2. fast fashion brand Zara to launch ecommerce in Thailand
It seems that Zara is doubling down on ecommerce in Asia, having launched its online website in Singapore and Malaysia earlier this month. Thailand and Vietnam's stores will launch within the next few weeks, with India following later this year.
Zara's business model allows it to get clothes to stores much faster than its rivals, who prioritize low-production costs and outsource manufacturing to China, and can react more quickly to shifting consumer tastes without holding excess inventory.

[2.23] Ecommerce News You Should Know: Kejora Launches $80m Fund For Southeast Asia
1. Zalora Philippines gets funding from Ayala group
The Philippines' Ayala Corporation has moved into ecommerce with the purchase of a large stake in Zalora Philippines. The group owns 49% of Zalora. The value of the investment was not disclosed.
According to a 2014 study by Ken Research, the Philippines' ecommerce market can expect a stupendous compound annual growth rate of 101.4% from 2013 until 2018, thanks to rising internet and social media adoption.
2. Kejora targets growth-stage startups with $80m fund for Southeast Asia
Kejora, a VC firm and startup hub in Indonesia has announced a new venture fund for Southeast Asian startups. Its target size is $80 million and about a third of it has been secured at this point.
Among Kejora Star Capital II's backers are Barito Pacific Group, an Indonesian conglomerate; the Charoen Pokphand family, who owns CP food True Corporation. Germany's Hubert Burda Media is also listed as a backer.
Kejora has strengthened its regional reach with a new focus on Thailand. The team has also opened a new office in Bangkok.
3. Wal-Mart's online surge may help it challenge Amazon
Wal-Mart posted its third straight quarter of double-digit online growth, which helped its holiday results top estimates. Clearly, the retailer is benefiting from its Jet.com acquisition. Online sales gained 29% in the fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 31.
Wal-Mart is finally "playing offense," said Peter Benedict, an analyst at Baird Equity Research.
Even with Wal-Mart's recent resurgence, it won't be an easy battle. Almost three out of four Wal-Mart shoppers bought something on Amazon during the holiday quarter, according to data tracker Prosper Insights & Analytics. This means that the retailer is on the right track, but they still have some work to do.

It's Final, Walmart To Buy Jet.com For $3B to Save Its Decelerating Growth
Business Models, M&A, The Brief
Walmart, the world's largest retailer, is set to acquire two-year-old online retailer Jet.com in what appears to be the largest-ever acquisition of an ecommerce company reports Recode. This is according to multiple sources familiar with the transaction.
Walmart-Jet.com acquisition details
The deal is expected to value Jet at approximately $3 billion. Some senior Jet executives, including co-founder and CEO Marc Lore, will have incentive bonuses on top of that – Lore stands to make as much as $750 million in the deal as he owns 25%.
Lore will continue to run Jet as well as Walmart's US ecommerce operations after the acquisition closes.
Why is Walmart buying Jet?
The Jet acquisition is acknowledgement by Walmart CEO Doug McMillon that his company needs outside help if it's going to ever close the giant gap with Amazon.
Walmart's $14 billion in annual ecommerce sales is a fraction of Amazon's $99 billion and is growing slower than the industry average.
Its growth rate has decelerated for five consecutive quarters.
Jet sells more than 12 million products ranging from TVs to toys to cereal, and even milk and other fresh groceries in some markets. A little less than a third of its sales volume comes from items that Jet stores in its own warehouses and sells directly to customers, an exec recently said.
Even with Walmart acquiring the strong Jet leadership team and proprietary technology, the deal still will be viewed as a rich, if not desperate one, by some industry observers.
