You know the world is changing when even beer is brewed with the help of artificial intelligence. IntelligentX Brewing Company co-founders Hew Leith and Rob McInerney have created a range of beer which collects customer reviews then uses an algorithm to improve the brewing process and recipe back at the brewery.
Morgan Motor Company is planning its electric future and sharing details of a new development vehicle that will act as the forerunner to all future electric Morgan sports cars. Referred to as ‘XP-1’, the experimental prototype will provide key information to the engineers and designers at Morgan as they embark on creating the company’s first production electric models. Developed over the last 12 months by Morgan’s team of engineers based in Malvern, Worcestershire, XP-1 is based on Super 3’s aluminium platform.The striking prototype is not intended for production but has been created to enhance thinking in several key areas including driving characterisation, powertrain development, in-house EV competence and training, and new feature ideation and testing. Following 12 months of design and build, XP-1 will now embark on a comprehensive testing programme during the next 18-24 months, undergoing continual evolution to test new technology and features.XP-1’s battery, motor and inverter combination represents Morgan’s first powertrain, internal combustion or battery electric. The powertrain, engineered specifically for XP-1, gives Morgan’s engineers complete control of calibrations that vary the throttle and regeneration level at different speeds, in order to create a range of driving modes featuring a mix of driving characteristics. To aid with the identification of suitable component combinations for the powertrain – both for XP-1 and future Morgan electric models – an in-house developed full vehicle toolchain has been created. This toolchain is key to modelling the compatibility and suitability of a range of different powertrain components, calculating the range prediction algorithm and simulating different scenarios that can help the company to benchmark against future requirements.Ensuring that future electric Morgan sports cars are lightweight – as they have been throughout the company’s 114 year history – is a key requirement. This weight requirement is fundamental in the decision for the company to create its own powertrain combination, working with key partners and utilising industry leading components. As such, XP-1’s weight is comparable to that of the production car it is based on.
Quito, Jul 24 (EFE).-In Ecuador a year ago, company CannAndes began the challenge of generating an industry dedicated to making medicinal and therapeutic products based on cannabis, a plant stigmatized in the country for decades but that could become the raw material of the future.The company settled in the vicinity of the city of Tabacundo, about 80 kilometers north of Quito, on an Andean plateau dominated by the snow-capped Cayambe volcano.(Camera: JOSE JACOME)SOUND BITES: KLAUS GRATZE CANNANDES PRESIDENT AND NINA TAPIA, IN CHARGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AT CANNANDES. (IN SPANISH)TRANSLATIONS: KLAUS GRATZE CANNANDES PRESIDENT:The project was really born through my partner who started in 2017, understanding this industry, looking for something to be able to export from Ecuador to the rest of the world. We are a country that has very important advantages in terms of climate, we have the best bananas in the world, the best cocoa in the world, the best roses in the world. So he started looking for a product to be able to export it to the United States and there they began to talk to him about cannabis and the wave that was coming. This started in the world long before. The United States had already decriminalized this in some states, including its recreational use. So he began understanding and looking for the way to make it an industry that would also work in. Then the National Legislative Assembly in 2019 opened the door for non-psychoactive cannabis to be planted and cultivated with up to one percent THC. And this began in 2019 when the COIP reform was formally made, and Ecuador began to migrate to this process of using the cannabis plant in an industrial way, in a medicinal way in our day to day.NINA TAPIA, IN CHARGE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AT CANNANDES1.They can add CBD or cannabis in absolutely anything you can eat or spread. We have an endocannabinoid system that is responsible for precisely receiving the cannabinoid molecules and what they do is generate an emosteasic balance in the body.2.And what you do is vape, vape at the office, at the bank, at the supermarket. Well now with the mask it is a little more difficult but (takes hit of vape) it has a pleasant aroma, it is natural and it helps, it helps to relax a lot. It helps especially on the issue of smokers who want to quit. So it is incredible for anxiety.3.This cream makes your hair shine more, makes your hair grow, these shampoos can also be made out of oats or flax, but CBD is better I think.4.Stress, anxiety maybe depression, lack of sleep, CBD drops are wonderful. Because what it does is, it does not induce sleep nor is it an antidepressant. What it does is help our body regulate itself, and functions are self-modulated. Then the mood just improves.
Susan Walsh/AP; Erin Scott/Reuters There's no love lost between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The billionaire tech CEOs — who helm Tesla and SpaceX, and Facebook, respectively — have been feuding since at least 2016, when a SpaceX rocket explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite. Since then, they've butted heads over everything from artificial intelligence to Facebook's data-collection practices. Most recently, Musk tied Facebook to the violent insurrection in Washington, DC, describing it as a "domino effect." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Jordan Nabigon is the CEO of the content curation site Shared. He was a big Facebook customer, spending nearly $46 million in ads on the site. That is, until the platform booted him without warning or explanation. According to Business Insider, Facebook says Shared violated the site's terms and conditions. However, it wouldn't explain what the violations were. Nabigon says several of Shared's pages have been unpublished since October 26, taking 21 million of the company's followers with them. He added that Facebook gave him no warning that they could or would unpublish his pages, and that Facebook told him the decision was final. Business Insider reports Facebook has also locked Nabigon out of his personal account.
