Industry 4.0 innovators are consistently developing new automation and advanced manufacturing solutions to fill workforce gaps. This technology has already enhanced the operations and profitability of small and medium sized manufacturers (SMMs). However, the challenge with some automation, such as a new collaborative robot (cobot), is that once installed, it often fails to deliver the promised results and eventually sits in a corner collecting dust.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Long ago, when my parents and grandparents were young, it was the luxury brand in the United States. It was king of the hill. But, gradually, new options came onto the market and Cadillac became more and more associated with … grandparents. It pretty much seemed like the brand was dying. However, the Escalade came onto the scene, quickly became one of the most prominent vehicles of rappers, celebrities, and country clubs, and the brand has done quite well for itself. (To be honest, I was surprised to find out the Escalade first hit the market in 1999 — I thought it was a bit older than that.)

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
