At only 1.2 miles from the Fujian coast, Kinmen was the main theater of a war between the two Chinas: the People’s Republic of China led by Chairman Mao, and the Republic of China led by President Chiang. In October 1949, at Guningtou on the northwest tip of Greater Kinmen, the main island, their armies waged a fierce battle. At least 5,200 young men on both sides lost their lives. The battle marked Kinmen’s separation from the mainland regime. It was a tiny piece of land—its two main islands are roughly 70 square miles, and today are home only to about 130,000 people—but Kinmen would loom huge in the geography of Cold War Asia. (The United States, which knew Kinmen by its name in the local dialect, Quemoy, sent advisors there.) For decades, missiles and propaganda balloons traveled back and forth. And there were the “water demons”—the shuigui, or frogman teams, that swam between Kinmen and the Fujianese city of Xiamen at night.

‘Despite the relatively few jobs in oil and gas, the industry is still designed around people, and the presence of people in a dangerous industry drives a high overhead cost in safety, training, equipment configuration, and housing, and the work force commands high salaries as a result,’ the industry blog stated. With time, equipment, plant, and vehicles all on the way to being automated, ‘anything with a chair in it today (and anyone whose job is to sit in that chair) is on a sunset path.’ The blog adds that ‘taking people out of the office is another de-manning goal,’ courtesy of robotic process automation technology that mimics human keystrokes.”

To quote AESO from a recently weekly market, “Hourly wind generation averaged 125 MW over the week resulting in an average capacity factor of 8.7%, down from the previous week’s capacity factor of 17.3%.” All public data and available here: http://ets.aeso.ca/

Friston’s father was a civil engineer who worked on bridges all around England, and his family moved around with him. In just his first decade, the young Friston attended six different schools. His teachers often didn’t know what to do with him, and he drew most of his fragile self-esteem from solitary problem solving. At age 10 he designed a self-righting robot that could, in theory, traverse uneven ground while carrying a glass of water, using self-correcting feedback actuators and mercury levels. At school, a psychologist was brought in to ask him how he came up with it. “You’re very intelligent, Karl,” Friston’s mother reassured him, not for the last time. “Don’t let them tell you you’re not.” He says he didn’t believe her.
