Half of those reading this blog post will write some New Years’ resolutions. Only 8% of you will succeed on following through with them.
The fact is, success requires a mindset shift, not empty New Year’s promises.
As you kick off 2019, reflect on the past year and set goals for yourself, how can you ensure you’re adopting the right mindset? The key is to focus on growth, no matter what curveballs life throws at you. Don’t be afraid of change, even if it leads to failure. Changing your mindset doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by choice and through awareness about your current state of being.
When we don’t achieve what we set out to accomplish, we can have two different mindset shifts. The concept of fixed mindsets originated from Carol Dweck, a leading researcher on the topic, who wrote about her studies in her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success:
“Your level of talent and potential is irrelevant if it’s trapped in a mediocre mindset.”
Most people are not held back by their ability, but rather by their mindset. Don’t believe intelligence is fixed. Your brain is like a muscle. The more you use it and struggle, the more it grows.
Now that we are aware what a growth mindset is, let's discuss 5 reasons why people fail to achieve their goals. Before making new goals or a new resolution, reflect on your past attempts to make them happen. If the list is just a bunch of failed attempts, your brain is not the problem – your lack of method is.
“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Change requires both hemispheres of your brain to work. You need passion to reach your goals and be an emotional fit for the journey. Mental visualization precedes physical achievement.
On the rational side, passion alone will not take us anywhere. Your visualization will turn into achievements when you have and use a clear plan that keeps you focused and drives you into action. Having measurable goals will make you more accountable and able to track your progress.
Don’t fall into this trap. Set goals that are meaningful to you. Peer pressure can steer you towards fulfilling people's expectations of how you should be. Avoid pleasing others if you want to succeed. A clear vision and ownership drive motivation.
Changing behavior is not impossible, but it doesn’t happen overnight. To sustain long-term success in every aspect of life, one must master the trait of self-discipline. Things won’t be easy, and there will be bumps in the road. The path is never linear. Take, for example, our heart rhythm; it has different waves, and the waves change at different intervals. Life is not linear. Everything is in a constant state of flux.
Self-doubt is that little voice in our head telling us that we aren’t good enough and causes us to lack confidence in our abilities. Happiness is a mental state that we desire and fear at the same time. We all wish for a perfect life and build goals to achieve the state of happiness. Self-doubt holds you hostage and keeps you from achieving a better life. Listen to your own inner dialogue and ask yourself: “Am I lifting myself up, or putting myself down?”
Success is not easy. You won’t find the road to success on Google Maps. There are no shortcuts to getting there. Real change happens from within. Stop looking for external solutions, spend time soul-searching, and initiate a mindset shift to develop self-acceptance. Become your flaws’ best friend. Accepting your weakness will allow you to double down on your strengths. Self-doubt, guilt, remorse, and frustration will chase and torment you if you don’t accept who you are.
Most people will remain in their current state unless they have a fundamental mindset shift. As you learn to adopt new behaviors, you need to let go of past ones. To grow, you must reach outside of your current comfort zone. Let's take a look at three mindset shifts that will help create a happier new you, one who has clear, actionable goals.
“Look upon your own mind as a garden. You are a gardener, and you are planting seeds (or thoughts) in your subconscious mind all day long, based on your habitual thinking. As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.” -Joseph Murphy, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
“We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.” - Sheryl Sandberg
Getting negative feedback about yourself is uncomfortable and exhausting. Your instinct is to defend yourself against charges that you aren’t good enough. Most people aren’t open to criticism, and that’s okay. But if you want to achieve exponential growth in 2019, develop this mindset shift. Criticism can come from anyone – at work regarding your presentation skills, say, or at home, regarding your communication with your partner. Be open to correction and feedback.
As a new graduate nurse, I learned to value feedback from others, whether it was negative or positive, to help me constantly grow and improve my skills as a registered nurse. If you always kept doing tasks in exactly the same way, you will keep getting the same mediocre results. Repetition will help you to improve, but an outside eye to point out what you can’t see will help you achieve your goals faster.
We are living in a time of constant distraction. We’re distracted while we’re working, when we’re with friends and family, or on our commutes to work. The vast majority of people will continue to go through life this way and never experience deep focus and purpose. Our sharpest focus is on things that don’t matter and waste our potential, like binging on the newest Netflix series, partying, or spending countless hours on social media.
“Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development, because success is something you attract by the person you become.” - Hal Elrod
Your mindset shift for 2019 will require you to banish the distractions and focus on learning and creating. Maybe you need a breather from social media. To become successful, you need to care about your efforts to invest in your own personal growth and development. Your level of success in any area of life – health, relationships, finances, and career – is directly correlated to your personal development.
“The goal of life is not to relax on the beach, sipping mojitos all day. The purpose is to find something you love that adds value to the world.” - Ben Foley
Every human has a basic need to have a sense of belonging. Learn to listen completely to people. The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so we can listen more. Low-quality relationships have a negative impact on every area of your life. In 2019, strengthening your communication skills and relationships will bring you great satisfaction and fulfillment in the key areas of your life.
In the great words of Tony Robbins: “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.” Whether it’s networking or personal relationships, you can’t achieve the milestones on your path to success without working with people. A relationship can be a financial one, a bond with someone that helps your business or allows your clients to build trust in you. Maybe you had a frustrating work week – a healthy relationship with your spouse can help you clear your mind, and get rid of all the negativity you had.
If you treat others the way you’d like to be treated – with love and patience – you’ll receive exponentially more in return than you give. The universe works in mysterious ways; the world gives to the givers and takes from the takers.
You don’t need to wait for Monday to start your diet, or wait until January to kick off your New Years’ resolutions. Every day is a perfect opportunity to start. The sooner you start, the greater your chances of success. Your willingness to improve to is up to you. Develop a growth mindset that’ll stretch you outside your comfort zone. Take on challenges. Avoid the 5 common mistakes that make resolutions fail. Achieving a mindset shift is extremely important for 2019 – make it your number-one resolution! Be open to constructive criticism, focus on learning with minimal distractions, and create quality relationships.

Call it intuition, instinct, or a gut feeling: if we followed it, we just might be a lot happier. Intuition is a skill we are all born with, but one we submerge in the business of modern living.

Global Change Biology: Impacts on plants & animals, Marta Jarzyna, EEB
Marta Jarzyna researches macroecology, biogeography, global change ecology, and biodiversity conservation. She received an M.S. degree from Warsaw University of Life Sciences, an M.S. from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. At Michigan State, her research focused on the implications of climate change to avian biodiversity and the influence of land-cover as a factor confounding the biodiversity-climate change relationship. Specifically, she investigated patterns of temporal turnover in the structure and composition of avian assemblages and their relationship to changes in climate across a gradient of landscape fragmentation. She also evaluated spatial scaling of temporal turnover in bird communities and investigated relevant environmental drivers of the community change at each of the investigated spatial scales.
As a postdoctoral associate at Yale, she works with Dr. Walter Jetz to explore the implications of climate change on the functional and phylogenetic diversity of vertebrate assemblages. Particular emphasis is given to cross-scale patterns of functional and phylogenetic diversity and determining spatial scales at which the impacts of climate change are most relevant.
The talk is followed by pizza and beer.

Bestech Australia presents the GSM-2 remote data transmission unit and data logger, from Keller. It integrates a GSM unit and sends the logged data by email or SMS. This data transfer works both ways, from and to the GSM-2 module, allowing remote data read-out and configuration.
The main applications for this remote data transmission unit are level measurements in groundwater, wells, tanks, drilling holes, water supply and wastewater.
When connected to an external level sensor, the GSM-2 remote data transmission becomes a complete level modem logger. This means that the user does not have to visit the measuring location anymore to receive the measured data. This eliminates the need for big installations such as poles for solar panels and antenna, because it fits into standard measuring points with 2 inch tubes.
The remote data transmission unit is powered by a DD 3.9V/32Ah lithium battery, and low power consumption means that the battery will last for years.
The built-in barometric sensor enables robust AA-measurements and takes care of real-time barometric compensation. The system is housed in a 48mm diameter x 330mm long tube, which is waterproof and easy to install (housing fits easily into standard size tubes).
Free software is provided with the GSM-2 remote data transmission, which reads the emails or SMS and stores the data in an SQL database. Alarming SMS/emails are also offered.

Game selection is crucial to the success of an online casino in keeping gamblers entertained. The following list outlines the most popular real money casino games:.
When you play slots for money, you accumulate comps at a faster rate. Most casinos online allow you to cash out your comps once you have at least 1, comps.
However, certain casinos are more lenient than others. VIP slots patrons earn comps at double the rate of casual slots players.
They can withdraw more money and the casino clears their winnings faster! The random number generator at the top casinos is fair. Independent companies like TST Technical Systems Testing run regular spot checks to ensure continued safety.
Online gambling sites run daily and weekend specials for active slots members. They inject your bankroll with free spins, reload, and special bonuses.
The good news is that frequent player points are up for grabs on hand-picked slots too. Real money slots play gives you the opportunity to become a VIP casino high roller.

Players ask this question a lot. Technically speaking, there is no difference. However, we do experience a slight discrepancy in the RNG from time to time, especially with the high variance games.
Moreover, regulation in jurisdictions like Curacao is now stricter than ever before. There are many rules in place which ensure fair play for all players.
If we can give you a tip. This gives you a bankroll of 50 credits. After your initial 25 spins are over. The slot machine does not change its behavior.
Whether you play it for real money or for free. I play slots for money at the USA casinos online you recommend.
I noted a difference in the payout ratios of the slots I play at them. My favorite slot machines are The Hive and the Cash Bandits series.
Is it true that online casinos tighten their games as they see fit? Many thanks for your excellent question.
As avid online slot players, we experience the same thing now and again. To get to the point, yes, online casinos can reduce the RTPs of a game.
Since you like The Hive, good choice by the way. The random number generator determines the outcome of each game. When Betsoft releases the slot the RTP or payback percentage of the game is The casino sites we recommend carry a range of slots for real money from the best casino software developers.
These slots pay real money. Players can enjoy simple 3-reel slots, to more advanced video i-Slots.
There are also plenty progressive jackpot slots to win money. Slot tournaments offer players an additional chance to win real money at a larger scale.
That is why the legit casinos we recommend have a host of regular tournaments and progressive jackpot games. How you deposit and get your winnings paid out to you is an integral part of online gambling for real money.
The casinos we list here have a variety of casino payment methods which are easily accessible in the USA mostly and worldwide. Issues with withdrawals almost always arise from issues with payout speed and Ts and Cs that seem to pop out from nowhere.
First check out what the fastest payout method id. When you find that, use it as s deposit method. Most casinos only allow you to withdraw via the same way you deposited with.
Submit your needed documentation especially for credit card deposits and withdrawals well in time, that will cut down the wait tome between you winning and getting the payout.
If you are playing using a bonus, read through the wagering requirements terms and satisfy them before requesting a payout. Do not confuse withdrawal request processing with payout speed.
The casino first processes your request and after that request is approved you then get tour payout within the specified payout period. A real money casino app makes online gambling for money so much easier.
If you need the best casino apps for real money, create an account and play at top rated casinos. Mobile casinos for real money have become the standard when it comes to gambling online.
A good internet casino must have casino apps that pay real money. Most US players access gambling games through a real money casino android app or iPhone gambling apps.

To evaluate the impact of salt form on solubility in upper gastrointestinal (GI) lumen and on concentrations of albendazole (ABZ) in upper small intestine following oral administration of simple aqueous suspensions in the fasted state, using ex vivo and in vitro data. A crystalline stable sulfate salt of albendazole (ABZ-S) was recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran. Differential scanning calorimetry and elemental analysis confirmed the salt formation. Solubility of ABZ and ABZ-S was measured in human aspirates and in fasted state simulating gastric and intestinal fluid. GI transfer of ABZ and ABZ-S suspensions (each at two dose levels, 200 mg and 50 mg) was simulated by using an optimized in vitro methodology which has been shown to be useful in evaluating luminal events relating to the GI transfer (Psachoulias et al. Pharm Res. 2012; Symillides et al. 5 th BBBB Int. Conference, 2013). The effect of precipitation inhibitors was evaluated by including HPMC E5 and PVP (Kollidon® 30) in the suspensions. ABZ was assayed with HPLC in all cases. Equilibrium solubility data in aspirates and simulated GI fluids indicated that, compared to base, ABZ-S is at least 3 times more soluble in stomach and at least two times more soluble in upper small intestine. The in vitro transfer data indicated extensive precipitation and limited supersaturation leading to similar duodenal compartment concentrations for both ABZ and ABZ-S. By decreasing the dose to 50 mg duodenal compartment concentrations were increased. In addition, concentrations in duodenal compartment were slightly increased when HPMC E5 was included in the gastric compartment. For ABZ, a weak base which is expected to precipitate extensively in the upper small intestine, the use of a salt with clearly improved solubility characteristics in the upper GI lumen does not seem to greatly increase the concentrations in simulations of the upper small intestine. The impact of precipitation inhibitors seems to be also small.

SNIP: A “mind-boggling” heat wave in the Arctic has broken temperature records in north-west Russia, meteorologists have said.
Last Wednesday, the mercury rose above 30C in parts of the Arctic, significantly above the average for the time of year.
Scott Duncan, a meteorologist based in the UK, described conditions as “truly exceptional for any time of the year but mind-boggling for May”.
The climate expert added that because the Arctic is warming so fast, “profound heatwaves” are more likely to occur in the future.
Increasing temperatures are causing ice and permafrost to melt in the region, resulting in previously trapped methane being released into the atmosphere and contributing to global heating.
The current heatwave looks set to continue, with climate scientist Zack Labe saying that over the coming week temperatures will be more than 10C above average in eastern Siberia.
Although still shocking, the temperatures seen this month are well below the hottest ever day in the Arctic, which was the 38C recorded in the Siberian town of Verkhoyansk last year.
At the time, the CBS News meteorologist Jeff Berardelli described the record as “the kind of weather we expect by 2100, 80 years early”.
“For perspective Miami has only reached 100 degrees [37.7C] once on record,” he added.
The latest temperature record comes shortly after a new study said the region has warmed three times faster than the rest of the Earth over the past half century.
Published by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), the report warned that temperature changes in the Arctic could have far-reaching consequences across the world, including on issues such as rising sea levels.
Its findings were discussed last week by the Arctic Council, a group of countries which includes the US and Russia.
The council’s 12th ministerial meeting took place in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Thursday, with discussion centring on its four major issues: climate change, human health, Arctic shipping and innovation in local communities.

In late 1966, a group of Indonesian jazz musicians approached the energetic West-German broadcaster, writer and so-called 'jazz pope' Joachim-Ernst Berendt with the proposal that he assist them in mounting a tour of Europe. This tour represented what E. Taylor Atkins, a historian of Japanese jazz, calls a 'strategy of authentication', intended to secure the playing experience these musicians craved (2001: 12). It would be the first time that a group of Indonesian jazzmen perfonned on the international stage. As it transpired, their tour also generated an early instance of proto- 'world music'.

Poet/songwriter Nenebi has revealed he has a speech impairment he develop a strategy to disguise. He made this revelation on Joy FM’s entertainment show, Rythms A-Z, last Saturday, September 10th. He was on the show to promote his new single, Me, My Selfie and Eyes, which features Mzbel and actress Moesha Bodoung.
Nenebi speaking on his growing online presence, Nenebi midway said, “My name on Facebook is,” paused for a few seconds before mentioning his Facebook name, Ur Nenebi. Mamavi then asked, “You had to think about that?” Nenebi responded with his speech impairment revelation, “I stammer a little so I close my eyes and pretend I am thinking to hide the fact that I am stammering,” to roaring laughter by all present in the studio.
Nenebi also revealed in the interview, his single, Me, My Selfie and Eyes, took two years to make. His reason being, “I wrote the music (chorus) during the Becca Girl Talk two years ago. I was one of the few guys allowed in (he was working on production for the show). I was in the room watching all the girls doing nothing but playing with their phones. Taking pictures instead of enjoying the show. That inspired me to write the chorus and I had to spend two years on the verses because I wanted to write something that is simple and intelligent.”
Zooming in on the lyrics of the chorus, Mamavi asked Nenebi how he could write a song about being in the bathroom when he was in a big hall (the National Theatre) full of people. He responded, “It is about your imagination. It is about where you allow your imagination to take you.”
Nenebi rounded up the 15-minute interview giving the host some lollipops and serenading her with a love poem. A male in the studio teased him about giving cheap gifts which he responded with, “It’s not the price of the gift but the thought that counts.”
Nenebi’s single, Me, My Selfie and Eyes featuring Mzbel and Moesha was released on September 2nd, 2016 via his Audiomack page.

As China balances its need for economic growth and environmental quality, it is important that Chinese policymakers compare the costs and benefits of alternative policy options to ensure they are choosing the most efficient policies. EPIC-China will work with policymakers to conduct cost-benefit analyses based on real-world data.
Early work by EPIC scholars reveals the benefits of this approach. By studying the effects of the Huai River policy—under which people living north of the river were provided with free coal boilers and subsidized coal —EPIC Director Michael Greenstone, Guojun He (Director of Research, EPIC-China), and their coauthors found that people in the north live 3.1 fewer years than people in the south due to air pollution concentrations that are 46 percent higher.
In another study using the Huai River policy, EPIC scholar Koichiro Ito and his coauthor measured demand for air purifiers and found that Chinese households are on average willing to pay $1.34 per year to remove 1 μg/m3 of particulate pollution (PM10). This estimate suggests that a household is willing to pay $32.70 per year to eliminate the air pollution created by the Huai River heating policy. The authors also use this estimate to quantify the value of recent air quality improvements in China. Since China declared a war on pollution in 2013, particulate pollution decreased substantially, suggesting that a household is willing to pay at least $65.52 per year to have these air quality improvements.

Science world luminary John Brockman assembles twenty-five of the most important scientific minds, people who have been thinking about the field artificial intelligence for most of their careers, for an unparalleled round-table examination about mind, thinking, intelligence and what it means to be human.
More than sixty years ago, mathematician-philosopher Norbert Wiener published a book on the place of machines in society that ended with a warning: "we shall never receive the right answers to our questions unless we ask the right questions.... The hour is very late, and the choice of good and evil knocks at our door."
In the wake of advances in unsupervised, self-improving machine learning, a small but influential community of thinkers is considering Wiener's words again. In Possible Minds, John Brockman gathers their disparate visions of where AI might be taking us.
The fruit of the long history of Brockman's profound engagement with the most important scientific minds who have been thinking about AI--from Alison Gopnik and David Deutsch to Frank Wilczek and Stephen Wolfram--Possible Minds is an ideal introduction to the landscape of crucial issues AI presents. The collision between opposing perspectives is salutary and exhilarating; some of these figures, such as computer scientist Stuart Russell, Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn, and physicist Max Tegmark, are deeply concerned with the threat of AI, including the existential one, while others, notably robotics entrepreneur Rodney Brooks, philosopher Daniel Dennett, and bestselling author Steven Pinker, have a very different view. Serious, searching and authoritative, Possible Minds lays out the intellectual landscape of one of the most important topics of our time.

Presenting the established principles underpinning space robotics (conservation of momentum and energy, stability) with a thorough and modern approach, chapters build from general physical foundations through an extensive treatment of kinematics of multi-body systems, and then to conservation principles in dynamics. The latter part of the book focuses on real-life applications related to space systems. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous solved examples, illustrative applications and MATLAB, the author includes: an explanation of basic space mechanics and the dynamics of space vehicles; a rigorous treatment of conservation and variational principles in dynamics and in control theory that can be applied to a range of space vehicles and robotic systems; and a systematic presentation of the application of dynamics and control theory to real spacecraft systems.
This comprehensive presentation of the core concepts and historical landmarks in robotics and artificial intelligence is a must-read for those who want to understand the important changes happening now in our everyday lives, in the workplace, and in our minds and bodies. What is deep in "deep learning"? Can artificial intelligence really think? What will robots really look like in the near future? Is there a new class divide between those who understand technology and those who fear it? A clear and exhaustive introduction for non-specialists, 30-Second AI & Robotics will help the reader to navigate the world of ubiquitous computers, smart cities, and collaborative robots. At last, an optimistic and friendly book about our human possibilities in the time of automata.

Discover the next stage of humanity's evolution--the age of artificial intelligence--in this fascinating, essential, and accessible exploration of the coming advances in robotics, computing, and associated technologies from the publisher of one of the most popular technology news websites in the world, Gigaom.com. We often talk about the rapid pace of change in our world, where every month seems to bring a startling technological advancement. While it's true that we are surrounded by new devices and innovations, cooler toys and fresher platforms, these are only tremors compared to the earthquake that is in our future. Futurist and tech maven Byron Reese explains that a number of disruptive technologies--each of which alone would be world-changing--are all converging at the same time in a perfect storm. We are building robots that can do human jobs. We are designing computers that might be capable of intelligence. We are likely on the cusp of creating a new life form: a conscious computer to which we could outsource our thinking minds, with a companion robot to perform the functions of our bodies. In captivating and clear language, Reese explores this imminent technological revolution and its species-changing implications. He helps us to understand what this brave new world can mean for us both practically and existentially, in the process arriving at a more complete definition of what it means to be human. The Fourth Age doesn't resort to the doomsday view of the future we often encounter in movies and fiction, but instead locates us at a great turning point in human history and provides you with the vocabulary and breadth of knowledge you need to be part of the debate about what kind of world we will soon inhabit.
Discovering the secrets of animal movement and what they can teach us Insects walk on water, snakes slither, and fish swim. Animals move with astounding grace, speed, and versatility: how do they do it, and what can we learn from them? In How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls, David Hu takes readers on an accessible, wondrous journey into the world of animal motion. From basement labs at MIT to the rain forests of Panama, Hu shows how animals have adapted and evolved to traverse their environments, taking advantage of physical laws with results that are startling and ingenious. In turn, the latest discoveries about animal mechanics are inspiring scientists to invent robots and devices that move with similar elegance and efficiency. Hu follows scientists as they investigate a multitude of animal movements, from the undulations of sandfish and the way that dogs shake off water in fractions of a second to the seemingly crash-resistant characteristics of insect flight. Not limiting his exploration to individual organisms, Hu describes the ways animals enact swarm intelligence, such as when army ants cooperate and link their bodies to create bridges that span ravines. He also looks at what scientists learn from nature (TM)s unexpected feats "such as snakes that fly, mosquitoes that survive rainstorms, and dead fish that swim upstream. As researchers better understand such issues as energy, flexibility, and water repellency in animal movement, they are applying this knowledge to the development of cutting-edge technology. Integrating biology, engineering, physics, and robotics, How to Walk on Water and Climb up Walls demystifies the remarkable mechanics behind animal locomotion.

How to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover-filling needs that even the most sophisticated robot cannot. Driverless cars are hitting the road, powered by artificial intelligence. Robots can climb stairs, open doors, win Jeopardy, analyze stocks, work in factories, find parking spaces, advise oncologists. In the past, automation was considered a threat to low-skilled labor. Now, many high-skilled functions, including interpreting medical images, doing legal research, and analyzing data, are within the skill sets of machines. How can higher education prepare students for their professional lives when professions themselves are disappearing? In Robot-Proof, Northeastern University president Joseph Aoun proposes a way to educate the next generation of college students to invent, to create, and to discover-to fill needs in society that even the most sophisticated artificial intelligence agent cannot. A "robot-proof" education, Aoun argues, is not concerned solely with topping up students' minds with high-octane facts. Rather, it calibrates them with a creative mindset and the mental elasticity to invent, discover, or create something valuable to society-a scientific proof, a hip-hop recording, a web comic, a cure for cancer. Aoun lays out the framework for a new discipline, humanics, which builds on our innate strengths and prepares students to compete in a labor market in which smart machines work alongside human professionals. The new literacies of Aoun's humanics are data literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy. Students will need data literacy to manage the flow of big data, and technological literacy to know how their machines work, but human literacy-the humanities, communication, and design-to function as a human being. Life-long learning opportunities will support their ability to adapt to change. The only certainty about the future is change. Higher education based on the new literacies of humanics can equip students for living and working through change.
This exciting book breaks new ground by introducing the amateur to the ideas and concepts, both theoretical and practical, of robotics - a nascent discipline which will radically change the way we work. Although today we use the term 'robots', in the future other terms will have to be coined in order to describe their utility & capabilities. The book is divided into two sections: 1: How and why robots work and how they are controlled. 2: How to make a simple two-legged humanoid robot that can be programmed to walk. There are no complicated formulae or equations to grapple with or complicated circuit diagrams to decipher, and you don't have to be either a machinist or a programmer - everything is presented in clear, concise, everyday English. The robot can be built quickly on a workbench, or even a kitchen table, with a minimum number of handtools, and all the parts are easily available in the UK and the USA. This is a fascinating and unique book which explains the basics of a subject which is the next generation of model engineering, combining construction skills with computer programming and teaches you to build and run a working robot which can be controlled from any personal computer.
SIMATIC is the worldwide established automation system for
implementing industrial control systems for machines, manufacturing

Love, marriage, and sex with robots? Not in a million years? "Maybe a whole lot sooner!"
A leading expert in artificial intelligence, David Levy argues that the entities we once deemed cold and mechanical will soon become the objects of real companionship and human desire. He shows how automata have evolved and how human interactions with technology have changed over the years. Levy explores many aspects of human relationships--the reasons we fall in love, why we form emotional attachments to animals and virtual pets, and why these same attachments could extend to love for robots. Levy also examines how society's ideas about what constitutes normal sex have changed--and will continue to change--as sexual technology becomes increasingly sophisticated.
Shocking, eye-opening, provocative, and utterly convincing, "Love and Sex with Robots" is compelling reading for anyone with an open mind.
Practically all modern control systems are based upon
microprocessors and complex microcontrollers that yield high

The second edition of this handbook provides a state-of-the-art cover view on the various aspects in the rapidly developing field of robotics. Reaching for the human frontier, robotics is vigorously engaged in the growing challenges of new emerging domains. Interacting, exploring, and working with humans, the new generation of robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The credible prospect of practical robots among humans is the result of the scientific endeavour of a half a century of robotic developments that established robotics as a modern scientific discipline. The ongoing vibrant expansion and strong growth of the field during the last decade has fueled this second edition of the Springer Handbook of Robotics. The first edition of the handbook soon became a landmark in robotics publishing and won the American Association of Publishers PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics as well as the organization's Award for Engineering & Technology. The second edition of the handbook, edited by two internationally renowned scientists with the support of an outstanding team of seven part editors and more than 200 authors, continues to be an authoritative reference for robotics researchers, newcomers to the field, and scholars from related disciplines. The contents have been restructured to achieve four main objectives: the enlargement of foundational topics for robotics, the enlightenment of design of various types of robotic systems, the extension of the treatment on robots moving in the environment, and the enrichment of advanced robotics applications. Further to an extensive update, fifteen new chapters have been introduced on emerging topics, and a new generation of authors have joined the handbook's team. A novel addition to the second edition is a comprehensive collection of multimedia references to more than 700 videos, which bring valuable insight into the contents. The videos can be viewed directly augmented into the text with a smartphone or tablet using a unique and specially designed app. Springer Handbook of Robotics Multimedia Extension Portal: http://handbookofrobotics.org/
Formation Control of Multi-Agent Systems: A Graph Rigidity Approach Marcio de Queiroz, Louisiana State University, USA Xiaoyu Cai, FARO Technologies, USA Matthew Feemster, U.S. Naval Academy, USA A comprehensive guide to formation control of multi-agent systems using rigid graph theory This book is the first to provide a comprehensive and unified treatment of the subject of graph rigidity-based formation control of multi-agent systems. Such systems are relevant to a variety of emerging engineering applications, including unmanned robotic vehicles and mobile sensor networks. Graph theory, and rigid graphs in particular, provides a natural tool for describing the multi-agent formation shape as well as the inter-agent sensing, communication, and control topology. Beginning with an introduction to rigid graph theory, the contents of the book are organized by the agent dynamic model (single integrator, double integrator, and mechanical dynamics) and by the type of formation problem (formation acquisition, formation manoeuvring, and target interception). The book presents the material in ascending level of difficulty and in a self-contained manner; thus, facilitating reader understanding. Key features: Uses the concept of graph rigidity as the basis for describing the multi-agent formation geometry and solving formation control problems.

** THE PERFECT STOCKING FILLER FOR ANY ASPIRING ASTRONAUT. ** 'I propose to consider the question, 'Can machines think?' Alan Turing (1950) Part of the ALL-NEW Ladybird Expert series. This book is for everyone living in the age of Artificial Intelligence. And this is an accessible and authoritative introduction to one of the most important conversations of our time . . . Written by computer scientist Michael Wooldridge, Artificial Intelligence chronicles the development of intelligent machines, from Turing's dream of machines that think, to today's digital assistants like Siri and Alexa. AI is not something that awaits us in the future. Inside you'll learn how we have come to rely on embedded AI software and what a world of ubiquitous AI might look like. What's inside? - The British mathematician Alan Turing - Can machines 'understand'? - Logical and Behavioural AI - The reality of AI today - AI tomorrow - And much more . . . For an adult readership, the Ladybird Expert series is produced in the same iconic small hardback format pioneered by the original Ladybirds. Each beautifully illustrated book features the first new illustrations produced in the original Ladybird style for nearly forty years.
The Encyclopedia of Systems and Control collects a broad range of short expository articles that describe the current state of the art in the central topics of control and systems engineering as well as in many of the related fields in which control is an enabling technology. The editors have assembled the most comprehensive reference possible, and this has been greatly facilitated by the publisher's commitment continuously to publish updates to the articles as they become available in the future. Although control engineering is now a mature discipline, it remains an area in which there is a great deal of research activity, and as new developments in both theory and applications become available, they will be included in the online version of the encyclopedia. A carefully chosen team of leading authorities in the field has written the well over 250 articles that comprise the work. The topics range from basic principles of feedback in servomechanisms to advanced topics such as the control of Boolean networks and evolutionary game theory. Because the content has been selected to reflect both foundational importance as well as subjects that are of current interest to the research and practitioner communities, a broad readership that includes students, application engineers, and research scientists will find material that is of interest.
Data-driven discovery is revolutionizing the modeling, prediction, and control of complex systems. This textbook brings together machine learning, engineering mathematics, and mathematical physics to integrate modeling and control of dynamical systems with modern methods in data science. It highlights many of the recent advances in scientific computing that enable data-driven methods to be applied to a diverse range of complex systems, such as turbulence, the brain, climate, epidemiology, finance, robotics, and autonomy. Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the engineering and physical sciences, the text presents a range of topics and methods from introductory to state of the art.
In the coming decades robots and artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our world. In doing so they offer the hope of a golden future, one where the elderly are looked after by companion robots, where the disabled can walk, robot security protects us all, remote rural areas have access to the best urban facilities and there is almost limitless prosperity. But there are dangers. There are fears in the labour market that robots will replace jobs, leaving many unemployed, and increase inequality. In relying too much on robots, people may reduce their human contact and see their cognitive abilities decline. There are even concerns, reflected in many science fiction films, that robots may eventually become competitors with humans for survival. This book looks at both the history of robots, in science and in fiction, as well as the science behind robots. Specific chapters analyse the impact of robots on the labour market, people's attitudes to robots, the impact of robots on society, and the appropriate policies to pursue to prepare our world for the robot revolution. Overall the book strikes a cautionary tone. Robots will change our world dramatically and they will also change human beings. These important issues are examined from the perspective of an economist, but the book is intended to appeal to a wider audience in the social sciences and beyond.

As the total number of cases of Covid-19 has crossed 10.38 lakh in the country, the Indian Medical Association has said that the community transmission of Coronavirus has started in India.
The latest news on Coronavirus in India is that the community transmission has come at such a time when a large number of people were already suffering from Coronavirus. This would further weaken the situation of the country that was standing only behind United States and Brazil in number of Covid-19 patients.
The community spread of Coronavirus can cause further trouble for the government that was already facing the shortage of essential infrastructure to deal with the infection that has engulfed every Indian state.
ANI news agency has quoted Dr VK Monga who is the Chairperson of IMA Hospital Board of India in which he said that the growth is exponential.
Monga is quoted saying that the number of cases of the infection is increasing by nearly 30,000 everyday. He said that the infection is also spreading to the rural areas of the country.
While the government is still saying that the community transmission of Coronavirus has so far not started in India, the IMA is quoted as saying otherwise. As per the official figures by Union Health Ministry 1038716 people have so far been tested positive for Covid-19 and out of these 653751 have recovered. There have been 26273 deaths from Covid-19 in India.
Coronavirus cases were earlier confined to urban areas of the country only but have now been trickling down to the villages that is a dangerous scenario. This has raised many eyebrows as the government was till recently claiming that there was no community transmission of Coronavirus in India. Even in Delhi there have been thousands of cases of the infection.
