Yesterday on Face the Nation, liberal Democrat, and Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association Martin O’Malley answered the question Obama’s advisors would not. When asked by Bob Schieffer if he can honestly say we are better off now than four years ago, O’Malley responded, “no”.
“Today’s admission by Democratic Gov. O’Malley that Americans aren’t better off today than they were four years ago is more proof that President Obama’s policies aren’t working. President Obama’s failure of leadership has led to 42 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, 23 million Americans struggling for work, $5 trillion in new debt and a $716 billion cut in Medicare to fund Obamacare.
“While Team Obama continues their campaign of fear and division, we are talking about the big issues that Americans face. That’s why we have a plan to strengthen the middle class and create 12 million jobs, protect Medicare, and cut the federal deficit so our economy can start growing again.”
Today however, Obama surrogates have a new tone. Stephanie Cutter answered the same question resoundingly on NBC’s Today show.
“Absolutely”, she said.
Being better off now than four years ago means twenty-three million Americans that are unemployed, underemployed, or have stopped looking for work, is a good thing to the Obama administration.
That doesn’t sound better to any sane person, but then Cutter is prone to lying. Consistently.
Bloomberg News recently reported on the changes between then and now:
Almost every group is worse off than it was three years ago, and some groups had very large declines in income,’ Green, who previously directed work on the Census Bureau’s income and poverty statistics program, said in a phone interview today. ‘We’re in an unprecedented period of economic stagnation.
Worse, the President who likes to portray himself as a champion of the poor, pitting Americans against each other with his rich versus poor rhetoric, is raising poverty to all new levels.
The ranks of America’s poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net.
A Romney campaign spokesperson responded to the claim that Americans are better off than they were four years ago, stating:
The middle class has been crushed under President Obama, but he doesn’t seem to get it. Gas prices have doubled, incomes have dropped, poverty is headed toward fifty-year highs, and chronic unemployment is at unprecedented levels. But the Obama campaign now has a clear message for Americans – you’re doing well, you just don’t know it. Americans deserve a president who understands we’re not better off and has a plan to fix it.
The Obama campaign has been nothing but perpetual smoke and mirrors, and outright lies. Now they’ve resorted to telling Americans that they really are just doing fine.
This doesn’t feel fine.

|n a short story Delmore Schwartz (1913-1966) wrote about “an extraordinary, inexplicable, and even terrifying event.” Overnight a snowfall had created incredible statues of distinct forms throughout Manhattan. By morning the snow had hardened like rock, so the statues couldn’t be easily removed or damaged.
People were amazed. “Hence it was that the whole day after the snowfall became an unofficial holiday. All private concerns were ignored, all official tasks absentmindedly attended to, all other things put aside while everyone discussed, analyzed, and sought an explanation of the remarkable statues of snow.”
Among those particularly touched was a young bachelor, Faber Gottschalk, a dentist who hated his work. “To seek out decay, and pus, to do this day after day, to have this in the forefront of one’s consciousness—these central aspects of his profession he disliked, did not get used to, and would never regard with anything but aversion.” As a result, he “constantly evaded what immediately presented itself to him.”
Except for the statues. Enthralled, Faber cancelled all appointments “until further notice” and spent the day walking the city and admiring the statues. That night in his apartment he mused over them, realizing that they brought him a pleasure and happiness he hadn’t found anywhere else.
Day after day, life went on as before in the city, almost. “At certain moments, everything stopped and was motionless, as at a red light on a great avenue; and in this motionless period, complete attention was given to the statues, as when a noble man’s death is regarded.”
No one, though, was more moved than Faber Gottschalk, who “alone had surrendered the being of his past life utterly, ceased to practice his profession, and went through the conscious day throughout New York in an effort to see all the statues.” Though unable to express it in words, Faber found in those snow sculptures a unique sense of meaning, of purpose, of transcendence.
Then, without warning, “a tireless and foul rain” fell and, to everyone’s surprise, destroyed the statues. The papers noted the incident the next morning, and then no more. Everything—the problems, the enmities, the stresses and strains—immediately resumed, as if never having been interrupted to begin with.
Schwartz ended his story like this: “A particularly brutal murder was committed in Brooklyn, the sports pages carried much news about ice sports at winter resorts, a boy of seventeen, scion of a very rich family, disappeared from his home and was found after two weeks in Iceland, Faber Gottschalk jumped or fell in front of an onrushing subway train, and only a few were sufficiently disturbed to keep in mind, with the help of photographs, the holy time when statues had presented their marvelous forms everywhere in the city of New York.”
This story (“The Statues”) is a metaphor for the human desire and need for transcendence, for purpose, for hope beyond ourselves. After all, what are we but small packets
of flesh carrying around within us our own fecal matter and (not far away) our own minds. And what are our minds but a couple of pounds of carbon-based organic material closer in composition to a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken than to a hard drive. What can such a small, self-contained packet of meat mean in contrast to the infinity that surrounds it?
To live only for ourselves, to live for something no bigger than ourselves when there’s so much all around us and beyond us is like being locked away for life in solitary confinement amid a large city that you can feel vibrating through the walls.
Faber reached out beyond himself and found something in the statues, these “sacred mysteries” as he called them—only to have a rain wipe everything away.
His fate reminds me of Jesus’ words: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matt. 6:19, 20).
What make this story more haunting is that Delmore Schwartz himself was a tormented soul who died insane and in solitude in a Manhattan flophouse.

Looking beyond the Delhi gang rape
A fundamental change in attitudes is urgently needed
Delhi's young gang rape victim has paid the ultimate price for being a woman in India.
A few days after her funeral, people will return to their daily routine and the horror of violence against women will recede from memory. It will not be long before we hear of another rape.
Yes we need tougher rape laws, more security for women and speedy justice in the courts for perpetrators of violence. But only a radical change in attitudes towards women can change this continuing cycle of violence against them.
Social attitudes compound the problems victims of violence face by placing the onus and blame on them.
The victim is shamed and feels she is being put on trial for inviting the violence done to her body.
Questions put to her in court are demeaning and put the victim through a mental form of rape.
As a result many victims prefer to say nothing and not file charges or choose suicide.
A lack of will among law enforcement agencies and the judicial system to provide justice for victims of violence has allowed men to maintain their unbridled attitudes towards women and emboldened them to commit violence against them.
In India, caste and class also act as barriers that prevent bringing perpetrators of rape and violence to justice.
The Delhi incident has gripped the minds and hearts of the middle class because the victim was a college student and from the same class.
Rape, murder and all kinds of other violence are done to women of lower castes and classes on a daily basis and are either not reported or are dismissed with a “men are like that” gesture.
These attitudes are learnt by and taught to boys through socialization within the family, in school and in society.
We have to stop and ask, what are the roots of such attitudes that encourage violence against women?
Patriarchal institutions pervade our lives, whether it be the family, society, business, religious affiliation or politics.
We have developed a mindset that allows men the freedom to express their sexuality freely but puts restrictions on women’s behavior and interactions.
Aware of their rights, women are correctly asserting themselves and choosing what they want to do with their lives.
But there is much opposition to a woman’s right to self-determination. Amidst the din of voices providing opinions on how to stop violence against women, we hear a lot about what women should not do, but hardly anything about what men should not do.
While the large number of sympathizers and protesters speaking out against the Delhi outrage is touching, on the other hand there is entrenched misogyny among some prominent people who make the most insensitive remarks about women.
One male politician once dared to ask a woman minister “what she would charge to get raped.”
A female doctor and secretary of a local Lions Club blamed the victims saying: “Women encourage men to commit such crimes, by being out of their homes after 10 pm,” and added “if a girl wanders late at night with her boyfriend, such situations are bound to happen.”
The BJP party has even suggested a ban on women wearing skirts.
The outpouring of anger and grief at the death of the Delhi rape victim is indeed an iconic moment for the women’s movement in the country to push hard to bring about change.
While it is heartening to see large numbers of men participating in the protests, real change can only be effective if each of those men and women go home and vow to try and change their misogynist mindset.
We need to educate people across the board to change the status of women in India. Education has to be multi-pronged and dovetailed into every aspect of education, academic, social, political, religious and in family life.
Compulsory gender-sensitization training should be imparted to all government and private sector employees including politicians and the judiciary.
It should also be made an integral part of the school curriculum.
Until women are respected and looked upon in equal terms with men in this country, violence against them will continue to haunt society.
The massive protests all over India will go down in history as a great charade of crocodile tears if this moment does not bring about radical change in each of us, beginning with ourselves, in our family, in our workplace. Each of us needs to vow that we will speak out against every form of abuse and violence against women.

Federal Judge Approves Settlement For NB Harbor Cleanup
A federal court has accepted a $366 million settlement to remove PCB's from New Bedford Harbor.
Attorney General Martha Coakley said Wednesday that she's pleased the United States District Court has accepted the settlement.
Coakley called the ruling ``an important step for the economic development of the harbor'' which will provide ``significant public health benefits for the community.''
Mayor Jon Mitchell agrees and is looking foreward to seeking the harbor cleaned up.
Not everyone has been pleased with the settlement.
Critics say the Environmental Protection Agency has underestimated the cost to remove the PCBs, in the harbor. Earlier this year, New Bedford state Sen. Mark Montigny said the proposed settlement with AVX Corp. fell short.
Officials said the deal will achieve cleanup goals within 5-7 years, rather than 40 years under current funding levels. (Associated Press & WBSM News)

It was the premiere of another experimental season with "Survivor: Cagayan." Like "Cook Islands" divided the contestants by race, "Cagayan" broke them up as well based on specific traits. This season will be beauty vs. brawn vs. brains. By the end of the two-hour premiere, it was clear which of these three groups was the weakest.
The game properly utilizes all three aspects of an individual, and maybe that was the problem. Both beauty and brawn proved capable of handling puzzles, physical challenges, and the social game. Somehow, the brain tribe proved incapable of handling much of anything. Shockingly, they lost their second challenge on a puzzle.
Even worse than their challenge performances was their strategic game play. After blowing the puzzle challenge, Garrett decided to simply tell J'Tia that she was going to be voted out. She responded by going crazy, as she put it, and dumping her tribe's rice in the fire. And yet, she still wasn't voted out!
Instead, it was Garrett who became the second "alpha male" leader of the tribe to get the boot in a row after targeting J'Tia. Perhaps with all those brains come egos, too. Whatever the problem, the tribe needs to get it together, or there won't be a "brain" left in the game before too much longer.
"Survivor: Cagayan" continues on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.

Hybrid technology has been around for a while. However, hybrid vehicles are a relatively new development, fast becoming a popular choice for their energy-saving capabilities.
A hybrid vehicle combines a traditional combustion engine with an electric motor. The combustion engine charges the car’s battery, and the motor kicks in when extra power is needed, for example, when accelerating. Regenerative braking also means that the battery is charged via the kinetic energy released from braking.
Benefits of a hybrid vehicle
A hybrid vehicle makes for a familiar driving experience, similar to that of driving an automatic vehicle. It is possible to switch between power sources in accordance with the road and driving conditions in order to maximise efficiency.
Hybrid vehicles feature an electronic motor, meaning a decrease in emissions of carbon dioxide. They are an efficient alternative to a traditional petrol or diesel vehicle, helping to reduce the carbon emissions which contribute to climate change and air pollution.
Hybrid vehicles also make a good alternative to electric vehicles which are not always a suitable choice, depending on your road use. With hybrid vehicles, there is no concern about your local infrastructure not offering charging points or your total number of miles completed.
Like an electric vehicle, a hybrid car may be exempt from emission zone charges. Hybrid vehicles are an easy way of reducing emissions and fuel costs without the restrictions of an electric vehicle.
Hybrid car leasing
Hybrid vehicle leasing is increasing in popularity and has become the fastest-growing sector of the vehicle leasing market. Car leasing Bristol is a cost-effective way of exploring the available variety and trying out a hybrid vehicle. In fact, car leasing in Bristol provides all the benefits of driving a new model without the associated outlay and depreciation in value.
Hybrid vehicles offer the perfect in-between to electric and standard vehicles. Without the harmful emissions of a standard vehicle and without the restrictions of an electric vehicle, hybrid vehicles are friendly both to the purse and to the environment.

Every time Boston College missed a free throw, the tie around coach Steve Donahue’s neck got looser and looser.
There was 1:38 left on the clock, the Eagles were down 6 to Pitt, clinging to a chance to make it a two-possession game with their leading scorer, Olivier Hanlan, at the free throw line.
Over his career, the sophomore guard was 79 percent from the line. He had hit 4 of 5 to that point Wednesday night, right in line with his career average.
But he came up empty on the first. Then he watched the second one bounce off the rim.
All Donahue could do was throw his hands up.
The Eagles had climbed out of a 15-point first-half hole to put a scare into a Pitt team that was on shaky footing, having dropped three straight games coming into Conte Forum.
But the littlest things held them back. When he looked back at the Eagles’ 66-59 loss, Donahue said those were the most crucial.
The Eagles forced 17 turnovers, cashed them in for 22 points, and for a fleeting stretch seemed to have the Panthers on their heels.
But a 4-for-16 night from 3-point range and 13-for-22 night from the stripe sabotaged any chance of an upset.
When Patrick Heckmann, a 77 percent free throw shooter for his career, came up empty on a pair that would have cut it to 5 with seven seconds left, Donahue seemed to take the misses like body blows.
“It’s one of those crazy years,” Donahue said. “I don’t know how to put my finger on it. We’re good foul shooters, we work on it a ton. But winning teams figure that out and get it done. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet.”
The things that keep teams from going on long, game-shifting runs like the 22-4 stretch the Panthers ripped off in the first half (sparked by Cameron Wright, who scored 8 points in the first half and finished with 14), are the things that define good teams, Donahue said.
When he watched Pitt forward Lamar Patterson score 8 of his 16 points, dish out three assists, and drill a pair of 3-pointers in the second half — constantly thwarting BC’s attempts and hijacking control — Donahue saw something his team lacked.
“He’s an older player, fifth-year senior,” Donahue said. “Just as much poise as you can find in college basketball. I think at that point, he was like, ‘Just relax, we’re going to get it.’ And they had a great run at that point.
“I look in our eyes and we don’t have that, ‘It’s OK, we’re going to figure this out. We’re going to get it done.’ We don’t have it like they have it. We’re working on it. We’ll get there, but we don’t have that. I think that true belief in yourself and what you’re doing for 40 minutes, we don’t have that yet. And that’s what we’ve got to continue to work on.”
After a 5-point loss to Florida State Sunday, Pitt had every reason to be tight. The Panthers’ losing streak put them on the NCAA Tournament bubble at 20-7 overall and 8-6 in the ACC.
But it never showed. They outrebounded the Eagles, 33-18, and took away the 3-pointer, BC’s bread and butter, in the first half, holding it to 1 of 7.
“You saw why Pittsburgh has a good program in order with [coach] Jamie [Dixon],’’ Donahue said. “They’re real solid. They don’t get flustered. They play hard . . . That’s why if they’re not a Top 25 team, they’re right there.”
With 25 points, Hanlan became the third Eagle to reach 1,000 career points as a sophomore. The two before him — Troy Bell and Craig Smith — sit 1-2 on the school’s all-time scoring list.
Pitt’s Talib Zanna, who spent the week dealing with ankle injuries, dropped 21 points and grabbed six rebounds.
The Eagles (7-21, 3-12) were left with yet another single-digit loss, their 11th of the season. For Donahue, the line between them at the bottom of the conference and being in the thick of the race is excruciatingly thin. At the same time, the reasons the Eagles have struggled are abundantly clear.
“We’re damn close,” Donahue said. “That’s the frustrating part about it for me. I don’t think they realize it. Pitt, I look in their eyes, they know who they are. They’re not getting flustered with anything that happens. They know who they are. We don’t understand exactly how we’re going to win day in and day out.
“Hoping it comes, trying to tweak it, do everything I can. And I think they’re close. I’ve got to get them and inspire them to believe in what I’m saying and then we’ll get there.”Julian Benbow can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.

The subtropical regions in the North Pacific Ocean, especially north of 10'N, have been often observed eddy's activities using satellite data. The generation and existence of these eddies have been proposed by various theories. The variability of propagating eddies plays a vital role in the teleconnection between atmospheric and oceanic interactions. Surface barotropic Rossby Waves over the North Pacific Ocean have also been extensively investigated in the past using observational data. In this study, we use a numerical model with realistic conditions to analyze eddies propagating in the upper ocean over the Philippine Sea. The resultant spatial and temporal distributions obtained from the present model reveal strong activities of propagating eddies associated with first baroclinic Rossby waves. The behavior of the eddy is also modulated by the strong western boundary current, the Kuroshio.

Shareholders should welcome a new rule from India’s capital markets regulator that will require state-run firms to sell more of their shares to the public, analysts and investors said.
The Securities & Exchange Board of India said Thursday at least 25% of the total shares of all listed state-run firms should be held by the public. At the moment, many state-controlled companies are listed even though the government still owns up to 90% of them.
To comply with this rule, analysts say state-run firms have to sell close to 600 billion rupees ($10 billion) worth of their shares within the three-year time limit set by SEBI. Read More »


I thank my hon. Friend for securing this debate and for making a fantastic speech. The planning system is so frustrating. Isle of Wight Council does not have a housing revenue account, so it does not have access to the billions of pounds of funding. On the Island we are desperate to build one and two-bedroom properties, rather than being deluged with endless planning applications for low density, greenfield houses for folks to retire to the Island. Does he agree that we need a more flexible system that caters for the needs of specific communities, especially isolated island communities?


US strategy: Isolate Kim Jong Il
In Seoul, a Bush official takes a hard line on N. Korea's leader amid a multinational effort to push negotiations.
Ten months into a nuclear standoff with North Korea that has consumed the energies of Northeast Asia, influential US hawks in the Bush administration feel the time is ripe to focus steadily on Kim Jong Il, leader of the isolated North, as Asia's main antagonist.
Ironically, the strategy of isolating Mr. Kim as the principal culprit comes amid a multinational effort to get that same Kim to the negotiating table.
Thursday, in a hard-hitting speech, John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control, said Kim has rejected "olive branch after olive branch" while turning his country into a "hellish nightmare."
A broad range of Asia hands, in fact, feel a recent series of tactical mistakes by Kim, including his recent threats to test nuclear devices, is exposing the Dear Leader more clearly as a liability to his neighbors, China, South Korea, and Russia.
The strategy pursued by Bolton: Separate Kim as "dictator" from the people of the North as "victims" - and promote a discourse in Asia that holds Kim responsible for regional instability, and for creating massive prison-labor camps, the poverty of his country, and for ongoing efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
In short, the implicit message from Bush hard-liners is, as one administration official says, "We still believe in 'regime change,' and we want that understood as part of the push to get Kim to see the light."
Bolton is a close ally in White House political circles of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, and Vice President Dick Cheney - influential skeptics of negotiations with Kim Jong Il. President Bush has so far backed multilateral talks overseen by Secretary of State Colin Powell. Mr. Bush Wednesday phoned President Hu Jintao of China, a lead player in talks, expressing support for a diplomatic process that has been extremely taxing.
Bolton referred to Kim Jong Il 43 times in a four-page speech, while making reference to "North Korea" only 15 times - itself a message, sources say.
"The brazenness of Kim Jong Il's behavior in the past year is striking," Bolton told an audience of the East Asia Institute in Seoul. "While nuclear blackmail used to be the province of fictional spy movies, Kim is forcing us to live that reality..."
"Action is needed," Bolton offered to a set of Korean academics and officials, many of whom favor a more flexible policy of engagement with the North.
Since 1994, the undersecretary for arms control said, "billions of dollars" have been sent to "buy off" the North. But nine years later, Kim Jong Il has "not one, but two separate nuclear weapons programs...."
He was referring to revelations last October, when the North admitted having a secret enriched-uranium program in addition to an existing plutonium program. In 1994, the Clinton administration brokered a deal in which the North agreed to stop reprocessing plutonium in exchange for the building of two light-water reactors.
Early this year, Kim ejected UN inspectors who were monitoring some 8,000 spent fuel rods used to make weapons grade plutonium - and the North has since reprocessed some or all of those rods, setting off worry in this region, and in Washington.
Washington intelligence sources say that while the North may be able to achieve numerous plutonium bombs early next spring, the more "troubling" issue is the North's heavy enriched uranium program. Plutonium traces can be detected in the air through sensors. But uranium is not detectable, and is relatively easy to hide.
Administration sources, however, denied as "not just wrong, but dead wrong," a report earlier this month by The New York Times claiming that traces of Krypton 85 have been discovered in the air above North Korea. Krypton 85 is a telltale substance, which the Times said indicated a possible second and heretofore unknown plutonium reprocessing plant in the North.
Bolton's speech comes at a time when South Koreans are deeply divided over how to regard the North. For years following the devastating Korean War, Pyongyang was regarded as a communist enemy. But in recent years, the South has pursued a "Sunshine Policy" of engagement that sought to view the North as fellow brother and sister Koreans. Current President Roh Moo-hyun was elected in December on a promise to continue that policy.
"I felt Bolton made a wise speech," says conservative Jung Hoon-lee of Yonsei University in Seoul. "There is confusion here between the North Korean people and the North Korean regime. We want to see our country as a whole, and to approach the North with sympathy. But we need to keep in mind that the biggest problem is the regime, not the people, and that gets forgotten."
Kim's isolation is being brought on partly by his own actions. The North's recent admission of reprocessing and nuclear aims have surprised many sympathizers in the South, and in China. Last fall, Kim admitted the North had kidnapped 11 Japanese in recent decades. But he did not admit kidnapping what is estimated at hundreds of South Koreans. The historic meeting between Kim and South Korean President Kim Dae Jung in 2000 earned a Nobel Prize for peace. But the emotional event has soured in the wake of evidence this spring that the South wired hundreds of millions of dollars prior to the meeting. Nor has Kim Jong Il ever fulfilled a promise, made in 2000, to visit Seoul in reciprocation.
Joon Ki-sung, a graduate from a local college in Seoul last year who hasn't found a job, attributes the bad economy in Korea to Kim's nuclear brinkmanship. "I have problems with US troops here," she says, "but I'm not a fan of Kim Jong Il, either."
Bolton has been in Asia drumming up support for an initiative to interdict drugs and nuclear-related technology coming to and from the North. He is also trying to rally support for a US plan to sanction the North through the UN Security Council, should multilateral talks fail. The North has said it will treat UN sanctions as "an act of war," and China and Russia, and to some degree South Korea, have opposed sanctions as premature.
Bolton disagrees. He characterized UN sanctions as "an alternative track" if multilateral talks in Beijing should fail. "The North should know it can't just block the Beijing track [of diplomacy]," since that would bring the alternative, Bolton said.
What effect the Bush hard-liners may have on Kim's willingness to deal, or on internal dynamics in the North, is unclear.
Some Korea specialists feel that political conditions in the North are unstable, and ripe for some form of collapse. Others say the proud military regime, one of the most tightly controlled in the world, has weathered the starvation of some 2 million of its people in the mid-1990s - with no discernable protest or attempt to overthrow the leader. They argue that Kim is dealing from a position of strength.


The leather processing starts with salting, after plucking the lamb. Sprinkle salt on the leather, to remain fresh.
Fresh leather can be kept in a refrigerating room for a longer period of time.
The steps of the process of tanning and leather-tanning are soaking, washing, degreasing, removing impurities and grease off the leather surface.
Tanned skins enter into a manufactoring process: stretching, trimming, ironing, finishing, dyeing.
Processed skins can be used as ornamental or they can be painted and used for manufacturing of leather products and fur clothes.
In our tannery we have a capacity of 500 hides per day.

Blue River Technology is on a mission to solve monumental agricultural challenges by empowering farmers with intelligent machinery so they can operate more productively and sustainably. One of the systems that Blue River designed powers a line of autonomous See & Spray™ John Deere tractors. The ability to process AI computer vision workloads is a core capability of the tractors, which are used for tillage and weed control.
By adopting the Anyscale Platform to run Ray on AWS, Blue River cut regression testing time for AI workloads in product development by more than half. With this improved productivity, Blue River now provides faster insights from computer vision images and rolls out new product updates sooner.
Computer vision drives Blue River Technology’s smart tractors for more efficient and targeted crop management.
Blue River Technology is at the forefront of designing smart machinery that helps farmers automate time-intensive tasks, capture better data about crop yields and efficiencies, and optimize the amount of inputs they need to purchase.
The company's automated tractors — sold as autonomous See & Spray™ John Deere tractors — can operate with minimal supervision, for more hours, and in varying weather conditions. AI computer vision is crucial to the tractors' autonomous systems. While working, a tractor uses six pairs of stereo cameras for a 360-degree view that detects all objects in the field. After the system captures the images, it sends them through a deep neural network that classifies each image within about 100 milliseconds and determines if the tractor needs to stop, depending on the objects it encounters and the tractor’s location. The tractor also continuously checks its position for accuracy based on a pre-defined geofence. These capabilities mean the autonomous tractors are not only highly controlled, but they also can differentiate between crops and weeds for targeted and cost-effective herbicide application.
Time-consuming regression testing holds back productivity.
Blue River's fast and nimble culture encourages engineers to talk directly with farmers about their challenges and then develop and iterate on solutions rapidly. But Blue River's development team faced a bottleneck in its regression testing suite. It took an entire day to process the image and video data collected by the autonomous tractors — around 132 database files. The delay constrained the team's productivity by limiting the number of experiments it could conduct.
Among the most time-consuming steps was the conversion of data from Blue River's proprietary database format to the ROS bag format, which lasted seven to nine hours. Another concern was how long it took to generate a report after the conversion and playback. This step would process sequentially, taking three to four hours.
Anyscale Ray scales parallel processing to remove AI workload bottlenecks.
Blue River needed to remove inefficiencies related to processing large amounts of data in real time and move to a system that could scale as needed. The solution was to migrate the AI workload processing to Ray managed by Anyscale to tap the power of parallel processing at scale. The new architecture consisted of an Anyscale Ray cluster running on AWS to manage the Ray platform in Python, allowing Blue River to parallelize the conversion of its file formats to ROS bag format as well as its report processing.
After adopting Ray and Anyscale, Blue River Technology experienced dramatic productivity improvements to its product development processes and can now pass those productivity gains on to its customers.
Higher productivity with the same team: Regression testing time and report processing sped up by more than 2x, making the engineering team 2.5x more productive.
Resource efficiency: The team can now use shared hardware to move faster and more efficiently.
Reliability: The Anyscale Platform automatically retries jobs and provides notifications.
Fail-safe operations: The AWS cluster removed many single points of failure, making the testing process more robust and predictable.
By mitigating the testing bottleneck, Blue River Technology not only accelerated its development cycle, but also improved the reliability and efficiency of its autonomous tractor technology. These improvements are putting modern productivity and sustainability tools in the hands of farmers faster — all driven by the AI that powers Blue River's pioneering intelligent machinery.
Ready to try Anyscale?
Access Anyscale today to see how companies using Anyscale and Ray benefit from rapid time-to-market and faster iterations across the entire AI lifecycle.

The FIFA 22 Player of the Month SBC's have finally landed in Ultimate Team, which spells great news for those looking to give their club an early-season boost.
As always, there was the hope of picking up some of Ultimate Team's biggest and best cards for a cut-price by using the SBC fodder in your club. But that is not even remotely close to being the case.
EA has released one of the most absurdly priced SBC's that we have ever seen, and it's only October. We can't quite believe what we're seeing.
It's All About The Cash
EA have had a bad reputation in the past for their use of micro transactions in their flagship sports titles.
But it looked as though they may be doing something to chance that reputation over the course of the past six months, releasing both preview packs and reputable SBC's into the game so that players could pick up some of the biggest and best names in world football, without having to remortgage to do so.
So with that in mind, we were hoping for a reasonable priced Cristiano Ronaldo SBC this afternoon. We weren't naive enough to expect anything below a million coins / 10-15 squads, but EA has gone above and beyond in a way that prices virtually every single FUT player out of a move for the Manchester United man.
26 squads are required to unlock Cristiano Ronaldo, who is priced at over 2,000,000 coins at the bare minimum. To put that into context, in order to unlock CR7's POTM card, you would have to submit 286 cards into his SBC.
Now say you get three players per 7.5k pack (150 FIFA Points), you would have to open a minimum of 96 packs to accrue that amount of players. That comes to a total of 14,400 FIFA Points, which would set you back £112.
And we all know of EA's lack of a desire to place high-rated cards into their packs on a frequent basis. If we're being realistic, in order to unlock Ronaldo from scratch by opening packs, you would have to spend a minimum of £500-£600.
Unless you've got a kidney going spare, or you fancy a go at Red Light Green Light in Season 2 of Squid Game, it's highly unlikely you'll see this card anywhere near your club.
Honestly, we don't know where EA can go from here in order to bring the fans of the game back onboard.
It could also lead to rigged voting for the Player of the Month SBC. Let's be realistic, who's going to want to vote for the big-name players if this is how EA is going to reward them in the FUT mode.
Be prepared for a changing of the guard in the Player of the Month votes.

The value of what you do ….
by M. Celeste Chase, ACC, CDP
Activity Directors Network
Today’s activity professionals is tasked with undertaking the ability of building a program framework that offers emotional support and cognitive stimulation to an elderly population that may include those individuals that are op-positional, uncommunicative and in overall poor health. Not an easy do . . . .
The foundation of the activity professionals’ program development for senior care facilities must incorporate several layers of pursuits that speak to a diverse range of elderly population. The program must appeal to those that remain present in time and able to gravitate towards independent leisure interests to those that are “in their own world” and challenge the activity professional to elicit a response.
The “body of knowledge” study topics for these healthcare professionals are in-depth. Curriculum is comprehensive and includes but is not limited to regulations, management/personnel, legal and ethical issues to human development, spirituality, biology, sociology and psychology of the aging and the education links the undeniable connection between clinical and emotional management to improve well being. Published studies continue to substantiate that better emotional health significantly contributes to internal positivity and thus, improves the individuals overall health.
The combination of characteristic qualities and educational knowledge are essential ingredients to the success of the activity professional. These professionals effectively devise daily affirmation programs that acknowledge the individuals’ history, family, contributions, and activities of preference for a wide range of ages, needs, interests and cultural diversity and value each individual’s life story.
Ultimately healthcare professionals often have great responsibility placed upon their shoulders and the Activity Professional takes this in their stride, never underestimating the importance of the work they do.
