Enjoy a Whole New Smile with Porcelain Veneers in Portland
If you can't smile with confidence because of a cosmetic dental issue, porcelain veneers in Portland by Dr. Chung, could be the best solution for you. Porcelain veneers can correct a multitude of problems, including:
- Chipped teeth or broken teeth
- Uneven tooth edges
- Teeth with gaps or crooked teeth
- Deeply stained teeth
- Discolored teeth or a dead tooth
- Teeth that appear too small next to neighboring teeth
If any of these cosmetic issues sound familiar, contact us and schedule a visit to Springwater Dental right away. Dr. Chung will help you understand the pros and cons of porcelain veneers, determine if this cosmetic dental procedure is right for you and devise a treatment plan that best fits your case. Don't waste one more minute feeling embarrassed about your teeth or smile. Instead, enhance your look by getting porcelain veneers in Portland.
My New Love in Portland are My Porcelain Veneers…Thanks Dr. Chung!
"I had a weird thing going on with my teeth where the edges were all uneven. It looked like I had misaligned teeth that were also really worn down. I've always wanted to have beautiful teeth and was so self-conscious thinking everyone was looking at my mouth so I used to even cover it up with my hand when I would laugh. Then, my new Portland dentist Dr. Chung told me about porcelain veneers and said that I could have my teeth fixed by using the porcelain veneers to cover my crooked edges. I can't tell you how good that made me feel! I really am glad I trusted Dr. Chung and got porcelain veneers in Portland. They look natural and they're exactly the same color as my other teeth. Now I've got perfect teeth and never want to cover my mouth — I show off my smile all the time!"

Top Quality Porcelain Veneers in Portland
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin sheets of porcelain material that can be permanently bonded to your teeth in order to conceal almost any cosmetic problems and provide a new, clean, straight profile for your smile. Each porcelain veneer will be custom made; sculpted to fit the shape, size and length of your natural teeth. Dr. Chung will also make sure to use shades of porcelain and bonding cement that match the color of your natural teeth as closely as possible. The idea is for the porcelain veneers to blend in so well with your natural teeth that they will be virtually undetectable. Once your new porcelain veneers have been bonded to your teeth, you can enjoy a brand new smile.
Caring for Tooth Veneers
Porcelain veneers are very easy to care for. You don't have to alter or augment a single part of your good oral hygiene routine. You can brush your veneers and floss between them just as you would with normal, natural teeth. Even though porcelain veneers are easy to clean and will not stain very readily, you should still probably avoid foods that might cause staining such as coffee and tea, balsamic vinegars and tobacco products. Also, beware of crunching down on ice, biting your nails, or otherwise putting excessive stress on your new porcelain veneers, as this could damage them. If you have any questions, call Springwater Dental at (503) 902-6604 or contact us online and we'll be happy to answer them for you. Porcelain veneers in Portland are just one click away.
Are You a Candidate for Teeth Veneers?
Porcelain veneers aren't for everyone. When you visit Springwater Dental for a consultation, we can perform a thorough dental exam to determine if your teeth and gums are healthy enough for porcelain veneers. We would not want to put porcelain veneers on teeth that are already severely affected by tooth decay. Chronic gum disease could also be a disqualifying factor for porcelain veneers in Portland. If you have gum disease, this could cause your gums to recede after veneers have been placed, which would create a gap between your gum and the porcelain veneers and have a disastrous effect on the look of your smile. People who grind their teeth are also poor candidates for porcelain veneers, as this activity can cause the porcelain veneers to chip, crack, or even become dislodged.
Contact Us About Porcelain Veneers in Portland Today!
Please contact us to learn more about the dental health benefits of porcelain veneers. Ever imagined you could have straight teeth in a day? Or realized that you could have perfect teeth without the need for braces or orthodontics? Porcelain veneers may be the answer. We're happy to schedule an appointment for you or answer any questions you may still have about porcelain veneers in Portland, call (503) 902-6604.

... felt so good in the first few days and being enthusiastic and passionate about things. Now suddenly I feel more depressed and sad? Is this normal when starting out? I have major depression and general anxiety and mood swings. I also take pristiq 100mg. I also feel more anxious. I was just feeling fine but now this?

I watched my daughter have some ups and downs when beginning Saphris. We did end up increasing the amount to 20mg a day because we found that even with the ups and downs they were not nearly as bad as before the Saphris. It took about three months before it really smoothed out. We have not even been on it a year and already our life has improved so much! All I can say is to hang in there because the medication hasn't even had time to start doing what it is going to do.
We have kept my daughter on 20mg, but yes she has periods where she is much sleepier. With that said the times when she can not sleep as well are when she is manic, just now with the saphris manic looks different. Instead of raging and panic attacks now her mania is restless and her thoughts a a bit darker than normal. This is a huge improvement. I do NOT suggest you keep adjusting the saphris up and down because this is not letting you get level. We added lithium to help level out the mania with the increase in sunshine and it has helped a lot.
Thank you for your reply. I think that i am going to tell my doctor that I want to try 10mg at night for awhile to see if it can level me out. I have noticed that when my mania and depression fluctuate it does look different however I do not "feel" different so much as without it. The variations so are subtle that the only way that I can tell if I am manic vs. depressed is how well I sleep. If I am manic I have terrible insomnia and depressed, sleep too much but my moods are great on Saphris. I do like the medication, it also helps a great deal with my anxiety.

"If you want a healthy population, do it through food …. and make it TASTY!"
~ Dr Daniel Lim, 2013
Welcome to Café Seventy, a one-of-a-kind complete nutrition eatery. Café Seventy first opened its doors in 2015. Our Bukit Merah Branch serves up Chef-prepared foods, with choices even for diabetics, hypertension, obese and cancer sufferers. The Café Seventy concept started in 2012 as part of the Future Foods Project with a team of renowned scientists, doctors and nutritionists. The journey began because non-communicable diseases and health care costs are on the rise. Moreover, to eat responsibly and nutritiously is increasingly inconvenient, sometimes even impossible.
Why is Complete Nutrition Important?
The complete range of essential nutrients are vital to good organ function. Since our bodies cannot make these nutrients or synthesize them sufficiently, we need to obtain them through eating and drinking. Our organs (i.e. heart, brain, kidney) depend on these nutrients to function. If all our organs function well, we generally stay healthy and the risks to many health problems significantly reduces.
Café Seventy, with the help of some of the world's most advanced food technologies, seeks to ensure that the complete range of essential nutrients are present in some of our foods and drinks so that your healthy lifestyle becomes much more convenient. Even diabetics, cancer patients and sufferers of some allergies will be able to eat out at Café Seventy*.
Café Seventy taps upon some of the most advanced food and nutrition technologies created by a team of world renowned scientists, doctors and nutritionists. Several key technologies worth mentioning include Advanced SynergyTM, VitaTechTM, Pro@Flim BioactivesTM and OxygenPlusTM. "Essential nutrients have to be ingested because the body generally cannot make them…" The complete range of essential nutrients are vital to good organ function. When all our organs function well, we fall sick less, perform better, and lower the risks to many health & wellness problems. Today, Café Seventy is the first of its kind Complete Nutrition Café Franchise Concept that properly synergizes the nutrients into regular food, keeping them safe by maintaining a stringent regulatory & auditing process.
So why "Seventy"?
As a ballpark, seventy percent of our health & wellness conditions are related to how and what we eat and drink.
"If only we could eat healthy conveniently, affordably and it is still tasty, then I'll be happy to eat healthy," remarked one of our founders – and so the challenge began!
To make all this possible, Café Seventy is backed by some of the world's most advanced food technologies aimed at encouraging healthy lifestyles.
For example, Advanced SynergyTM helps synergize the complete range of essential nutrients into regular-looking food and drinks – this process is very strictly regulated to ensure safety. Taste Bud ActivationTM makes foods tasty even with the use of low salt. VitaTechTM allows vitamins to retain efficacy even at food processing temperatures and hot drinks. OxygenPlusTM aims at increasing cell-oxygen levels. There are a few more technologies worth checking out, and several more in the pipeline
Today, Café Seventy's signature Nutrition Cappuccino and Nutrition Mocha Shakes have been given the "must try" by food bloggers. Café Seventy will continue to expand its range of diabetic friendly and anti-inflammatory & low toxin menu. Café Seventy has been commended by the Society of Nutrition, Health & Fitness as "Truly innovative and completely nutritious!," and received the Singapore Trusted Brand Award in 2015.
We hope you will support Café Seventy's endeavour towards more complete and nutritious meals as part of our continued effort to encourage healthier lifestyles and address the growing health concerns at societal levels.

Advisor productivity rose 11% at Ameriprise, said the firm after releasing first quarter results.
The firm's wealth management division said that operating net revenue per advisor rose to $505,000 for the quarter from $454,000 a year ago. Advisor productivity has been rising across the industry, including at rival brokerages such as Morgan Stanley.
Advisor headcount had a net increase of 20 advisors from the previous quarter to reach 9,691 across both independent and employee channels, the firm said. Ameriprise said it recruited 77 experienced advisors, those with an existing book of business.
Retention rates dipped slightly: for independent advisors the figure dropped to 94.3% for the quarter from 94.7% from a year ago. For employee advisors the figure slipped to 91.0% from 91.5%
Total client assets also grew, rising to $452 billion from $418 billion, an 8% increase.
Although total assets in wrap accounts rose 8% year-over-year to reach $180 billion, net flows slowed: the firm reported $2.8 billion in net flows for the first quarter, down from $3.1 billion for the previous quarter and also down $4.2 billion for the year-ago period.
Ameriprise's wealth management division said that pretax operating earnings rose 16%, increasing to $210 million for the quarter from $181 million from a year ago.
Total operating revenues increased 7%, rising to $1.2 billion. Total operating expenses increased at a slower pace, rising 5% to reach $1 billion.
The pretax operating margin for wealth management rose to 17.1% from 15.8%.
The earnings report comes after the firm recently reorganized its management ranks. Bill Williams and Pat O'Connell, heads of the firm's independent and employee advisor channels, began reporting directly to CEO Jim Cracchiolo after Don Froude, president of the Ameriprise's Personal Advisor Group, stepped down earlier this year.
Overall, the Minneapolis-based Ameriprise reported a 7% year-over-year decline in profits, dropping to $479 million from $515 million.
Cracchiolo said in a statement that "while the operating environment was more challenging in the quarter with increased equity market volatility and continued low interest rates, we're executing our strategy and remain focused on serving our clients and advisors."
Revenue grew 2%, reaching $3.06 billion. This missed analysts' estimates of $3.1 billion, according to Bloomberg data. While revenue from management and financial advice fees rose 6% year-over-year, it declined by 1% from the previous quarter, dropping to $1.468 billion.
Expenses increased at a faster clip, 4%, climbing to $2.4 billion. The fastest growing cost was benefits, claims and settlement expenses, which rose 18% to reach $533 million.
Earnings-per-diluted share rose to $2.08 from $2.01. This also missed analysts' expectations of $2.32 per share.

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
3 questions
Directed by: Richard Donner
Starring: Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Jet Li, Joe Pesci, Kim Chan, Mel Gibson, Rene Russo, Steve Kahan
Question: I wonder, what was the point of having a gunfight with the armored man at the beginning of the film?
Question: In the beginning of the movie when the tanker truck gets blown up, why does the fully intact truck just get launched straight up with flames below it? The source of the explosion would be the truck itself, so when ignited, the truck should have simply been blown up into a million pieces, not launched straight up fully intact.
Chosen answer: This was most likely done just to make the scene look that much cooler. Movies do things like this all the time.Carl Missouri
Question: Something I really don't understand about the ending. Riggs is looking over his former wife's grave when his beeper tells him that Lorna is expecting their baby. He races to the hospital and there she is about to give birth. So who drove Lorna to the hospital? Can't have been Riggs as he wouldn't have left at a time of need just to see his wife's grave. Doubtful that Lorna drove herself, and no relatives were there (as we see at the end). So what other explanation is there?Gavin Jackson
Chosen answer: She could have taken a taxi or an ambulance, or even driven herself. A neighbor or friend could have taken her who didn't stay after she was admitted. She might have already been at the hospital for any number of reasons - doctor's appointment, already admitted for bed rest prior to labor, etc. etc. etc.Myridon

Why is chiropractic a preferred choice for the conservative care of spine related pain? A recent Harvard Health Publications article (a division of Harvard Medical School) discussed the role of chiropractic care in the management of pain. The discussion of chiropractic began with the premise that chiropractic is a health care system that considers the structure of the body and particularly the spine as an important determinate of the function of every other part of the body.
This statement provides a great context for the nature of chiropractic care. Spinal motion and posture can easily influence how well nerves do their job. If you've ever suffered from a "pinched" nerve, you know how painful nerve pressure can be. The reality of nerve pressure is that a comparatively small portion of the nervous system can actually sense pain. The majority of nerves control function, whether muscle function or internal organ function, so unobstructed nerves are important to more than just pain. The problem for most of us is that unless we feel pain, we don't consider that we may have a problem. When you visit your dentist, you often go for routine checkups and teeth cleanings. Occasionally, the checkup reveals a cavity which hadn't caused you any pain (yet!). Common sense dictates that the dentist addresses the issue BEFORE the cavity gets deep enough to hit a nerve.
Nerve pressure from spinal motion problems can certainly create pain, but most of the time the pressure on nerves doesn't get to the 20% of nerves that sense pain. Spinal nerve pressure can be detected by a chiropractor before the pressure becomes significant enough to cause pain. If you are scheduling with us because of a painful condition, or if you'd like to get a checkup to see if you have nerve pressure, we'll look forward to meeting with you!

text: It depends on the local weather conditions and personal preferences. It's recommended that your windows be cleaned at least twice a year, once during the spring and the fall but, if you have a marvelous view in front of you and you love sitting by the window and staring out all the time, you should clean your window more often. Another point to consider is that sunlight improves mood. Dirty windows reduce the amount of sunlight that enters a home, causing a more depressing environment for the inhabitants.

Deceuninck UK has launched the first in a series of short videos. They introduce Managing Director Roy Frost, who explains Deceuninck's ambitious growth plans and why growth-hungry fabricators and installers should choose Deceuninck.
Roy explains: "The launch of the video series goes hand in hand with the launch of our campaign microsite www.AskRoyFrost.com. With video consumption rocketing, it's part of our strategy to engage with the market in a more social way.
"As the videos progress I'll be commenting on key issues that affect fabricators and installers and outlining Deceuninck's solutions", adds Roy. "I'm used to making a noise and letting the market know what we've got, and Deceuninck has a powerful sales proposition, which we're adding to. It starts with designing innovative, desirable products. By offering products consumers want our fabricators and installers can stand out and sell without cutting prices. And as we announced recently, we've held prices too.
"But helping our customers sell goes beyond product" confirms Roy. "We're putting together a suite of new tools for ambitious fabricators and installers to help them generate leads and build their business. This ranges from new Apps and new bespoke literature through to designing websites for customers and helping them with local online marketing. It's full steam ahead!"

We've spent the rag end of the Easter Break in the Elan Valley, a couple of miles south of the Mid Wales town of Rhayader. It's been a real treat, miles of solitary walks, views to die for and hardly any other people about!! Even today, a Saturday, there's very few visitors…..Its a gem of an area. We love it.
We've based ourselves on a small campsite, only a 10 min walk from Caban Coch Reservoir, right on the doorstep of the valley. The water course is a series of man-made lakes and dams, designed by the Victorians to supply the city of Birmingham with fresh water, which it still does to this day. The campsite's called Elan Oaks. Its small but well situated, it offers hard standing, EHU, showers etc, catering for caravans, motorhomes and tents. Its in a perfect spot, directly alongside the main cycle route/footpath. You can walk to your hearts content, directly from the site and to top it off, you can finish with a pint at the Elan Hotel, just across the road. The site has an area for Caravan Club members on grass pitches. It also offers an additional 12 H/S pitches for anyone with EHU/Water/TV/Sat/Ethernet for a reasonable £20Pn…We plumped for that. Tents have a large field, so plenty of space for all. http://www.elanoaks.co.uk
The Mutt has loved the visit, loads of safe walks, plenty of time spent off-lead. Really its a perfect place for a semi-trained nutter dog! Take a look at some of the scenery:
Just below the dam is the visitors centre, that has a shop, cafe and educational area that covers the construction of the Elan Valley Reservoir and the fascinating story behind it.
What we liked about the area was the option to move off from the lakeside paths and quickly move up to high ground to enjoy the spectacular views (Warning…wet weather gear, a good pair of boots and a map/compass essential. The prevailing conditions can change very quickly). On the first day, the weather was pretty good so we took the opportunity to climb Y Foel, fairly steep at the start, but after a 15min climb eased out somewhat. Once we got the height, the stunning views opened up:
So to sum up this visit. A great place to while away a few days. Remote enough to offer some peace and solitude, especially out of season. Walking/Cycling on your doorstep, fantastic views and a well equipped small-scale campsite to overnight at. This is certainly going to be on our regular list…..Especially in the spring/autumn. Highly recommended.
Tonight I will mostly be relaxing with a Madras Curry, Game of Thrones(Season1)….and perhaps a large nip of Jack Daniel's "Honey".
That is all

I received very bad service, horrendous results, and have tried to get the results I was promised without success. The doctor is rude, and doesn't seem to care about anything but money. Do not plan on being treated well if you select this clinic. I regret the day that I did.
My legs
My legs & stomach have been disfigured by the doctor at this clinic. They will now required cosmetic surgery that will cost over $10,000.00 to repair with no guarantee that they can be. I will never wear shorts or skirts again. Do not go to this place EVER!

#432891 This Week's Awesome Stories From ...
Elon Musk Presents His Tunnel Vision to the People of LA
Jack Stewart and Aarian Marshall | Wired
"Now, Musk wants to build this new, 2.1-mile tunnel, near LA's Sepulveda pass. It's all part of his broader vision of a sprawling network that could take riders from Sherman Oaks in the north to Long Beach Airport in the south, Santa Monica in the west to Dodger Stadium in the east—without all that troublesome traffic."
Feel What This Robot Feels Through Tactile Expressions
Evan Ackerman | IEEE Spectrum
"Guy Hoffman's Human-Robot Collaboration & Companionship (HRC2) Lab at Cornell University is working on a new robot that's designed to investigate this concept of textural communication, which really hasn't been explored in robotics all that much. The robot uses a pneumatically powered elastomer skin that can be dynamically textured with either goosebumps or spikes, which should help it communicate more effectively, especially if what it's trying to communicate is, 'Don't touch me!'"
In Virtual Reality, How Much Body Do You Need?
Steph Yin | The New York Times
"In a paper published Tuesday in Scientific Reports, they showed that animating virtual hands and feet alone is enough to make people feel their sense of body drift toward an invisible avatar. Their work fits into a corpus of research on illusory body ownership, which has challenged understandings of perception and contributed to therapies like treating pain for amputees who experience phantom limb."
How Graphene and Gold Could Help Us Test Drugs and Monitor Cancer
Angela Chen | The Verge
"In today's study, scientists learned to precisely control the amount of electricity graphene generates by changing how much light they shine on the material. When they grew heart cells on the graphene, they could manipulate the cells too, says study co-author Alex Savtchenko, a physicist at the University of California, San Diego. They could make it beat 1.5 times faster, three times faster, 10 times faster, or whatever they needed."
Robotic Noses Could Be the Future of Disaster Rescue—If They Can Outsniff Search Dogs
Eleanor Cummins | Popular Science
"While canine units are a tried and fairly true method for identifying people trapped in the wreckage of a disaster, analytical chemists have for years been working in the lab to create a robotic alternative. A synthetic sniffer, they argue, could potentially prove to be just as or even more reliable than a dog, more resilient in the face of external pressures like heat and humidity, and infinitely more portable."

#431872 AI Uses Titan Supercomputer to Create ...
You don't have to dig too deeply into the archive of dystopian science fiction to uncover the horror that intelligent machines might unleash. The Matrix and The Terminator are probably the most well-known examples of self-replicating, intelligent machines attempting to enslave or destroy humanity in the process of building a brave new digital world.
The prospect of artificially intelligent machines creating other artificially intelligent machines took a big step forward in 2017. However, we're far from the runaway technological singularity futurists are predicting by mid-century or earlier, let alone murderous cyborgs or AI avatar assassins.
The first big boost this year came from Google. The tech giant announced it was developing automated machine learning (AutoML), writing algorithms that can do some of the heavy lifting by identifying the right neural networks for a specific job. Now researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), using the most powerful supercomputer in the US, have developed an AI system that can generate neural networks as good if not better than any developed by a human in less than a day.
It can take months for the brainiest, best-paid data scientists to develop deep learning software, which sends data through a complex web of mathematical algorithms. The system is modeled after the human brain and known as an artificial neural network. Even Google's AutoML took weeks to design a superior image recognition system, one of the more standard operations for AI systems today.
Computing Power
Of course, Google Brain project engineers only had access to 800 graphic processing units (GPUs), a type of computer hardware that works especially well for deep learning. Nvidia, which pioneered the development of GPUs, is considered the gold standard in today's AI hardware architecture. Titan, the supercomputer at ORNL, boasts more than 18,000 GPUs.
The ORNL research team's algorithm, called MENNDL for Multinode Evolutionary Neural Networks for Deep Learning, isn't designed to create AI systems that cull cute cat photos from the internet. Instead, MENNDL is a tool for testing and training thousands of potential neural networks to work on unique science problems.
That requires a different approach from the Google and Facebook AI platforms of the world, notes Steven Young, a postdoctoral research associate at ORNL who is on the team that designed MENNDL.
"We've discovered that those [neural networks] are very often not the optimal network for a lot of our problems, because our data, while it can be thought of as images, is different," he explains to Singularity Hub. "These images, and the problems, have very different characteristics from object detection."
AI for Science
One application of the technology involved a particle physics experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Fermilab researchers are interested in understanding neutrinos, high-energy subatomic particles that rarely interact with normal matter but could be a key to understanding the early formation of the universe. One Fermilab experiment involves taking a sort of "snapshot" of neutrino interactions.
The team wanted the help of an AI system that could analyze and classify Fermilab's detector data. MENNDL evaluated 500,000 neural networks in 24 hours. Its final solution proved superior to custom models developed by human scientists.
In another case involving a collaboration with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, MENNDL improved the error rate of a human-designed algorithm for identifying mitochondria inside 3D electron microscopy images of brain tissue by 30 percent.
"We are able to do better than humans in a fraction of the time at designing networks for these sort of very different datasets that we're interested in," Young says.
What makes MENNDL particularly adept is its ability to define the best or most optimal hyperparameters—the key variables—to tackle a particular dataset.
"You don't always need a big, huge deep network. Sometimes you just need a small network with the right hyperparameters," Young says.
A Virtual Data Scientist
That's not dissimilar to the approach of a company called H20.ai, a startup out of Silicon Valley that uses open source machine learning platforms to "democratize" AI. It applies machine learning to create business solutions for Fortune 500 companies, including some of the world's biggest banks and healthcare companies.
"Our software is more [about] pattern detection, let's say anti-money laundering or fraud detection or which customer is most likely to churn," Dr. Arno Candel, chief technology officer at H2O.ai, tells Singularity Hub. "And that kind of insight-generating software is what we call AI here."
The company's latest product, Driverless AI, promises to deliver the data scientist equivalent of a chessmaster to its customers (the company claims several such grandmasters in its employ and advisory board). In other words, the system can analyze a raw dataset and, like MENNDL, automatically identify what features should be included in the computer model to make the most of the data based on the best "chess moves" of its grandmasters.
"So we're using those algorithms, but we're giving them the human insights from those data scientists, and we automate their thinking," he explains. "So we created a virtual data scientist that is relentless at trying these ideas."
Inside the Black Box
Not unlike how the human brain reaches a conclusion, it's not always possible to understand how a machine, despite being designed by humans, reaches its own solutions. The lack of transparency is often referred to as the AI "black box." Experts like Young say we can learn something about the evolutionary process of machine learning by generating millions of neural networks and seeing what works well and what doesn't.
"You're never going to be able to completely explain what happened, but maybe we can better explain it than we currently can today," Young says.
Transparency is built into the "thought process" of each particular model generated by Driverless AI, according to Candel.
The computer even explains itself to the user in plain English at each decision point. There is also real-time feedback that allows users to prioritize features, or parameters, to see how the changes improve the accuracy of the model. For example, the system may include data from people in the same zip code as it creates a model to describe customer turnover.
"That's one of the advantages of our automatic feature engineering: it's basically mimicking human thinking," Candel says. "It's not just neural nets that magically come up with some kind of number, but we're trying to make it statistically significant."
Moving Forward
Much digital ink has been spilled over the dearth of skilled data scientists, so automating certain design aspects for developing artificial neural networks makes sense. Experts agree that automation alone won't solve that particular problem. However, it will free computer scientists to tackle more difficult issues, such as parsing the inherent biases that exist within the data used by machine learning today.
"I think the world has an opportunity to focus more on the meaning of things and not on the laborious tasks of just fitting a model and finding the best features to make that model," Candel notes. "By automating, we are pushing the burden back for the data scientists to actually do something more meaningful, which is think about the problem and see how you can address it differently to make an even bigger impact."
The team at ORNL expects it can also make bigger impacts beginning next year when the lab's next supercomputer, Summit, comes online. While Summit will boast only 4,600 nodes, it will sport the latest and greatest GPU technology from Nvidia and CPUs from IBM. That means it will deliver more than five times the computational performance of Titan, the world's fifth-most powerful supercomputer today.
"We'll be able to look at much larger problems on Summit than we were able to with Titan and hopefully get to a solution much faster," Young says.
It's all in a day's work.

#431653 9 Robot Animals Built From Nature's ...
Millions of years of evolution have allowed animals to develop some elegant and highly efficient solutions to problems like locomotion, flight, and dexterity. As Boston Dynamics unveils its latest mechanical animals, here's a rundown of nine recent robots that borrow from nature and why.
SpotMini – Boston Dynamics
Starting with BigDog in 2005, the US company has built a whole stable of four-legged robots in recent years. Their first product was designed to be a robotic packhorse for soldiers that borrowed the quadrupedal locomotion of animals to travel over terrain too rough for conventional vehicles.
The US Army ultimately rejected the robot for being too noisy, according to the Guardian, but since then the company has scaled down its design, first to the Spot, then a first edition of the SpotMini that came out last year.
The latter came with a robotic arm where its head should be and was touted as a domestic helper, but a sleeker second edition without the arm was released earlier this month. There's little detail on what the new robot is designed for, but the more polished design suggests a more consumer-focused purpose.
OctopusGripper – Festo
Festo has released a long line of animal-inspired machines over the years, from a mechanical kangaroo to robotic butterflies. Its latest creation isn't a full animal—instead it's a gripper based on an octopus tentacle that can be attached to the end of a robotic arm.
The pneumatically-powered device is made of soft silicone and features two rows of suction cups on its inner edge. By applying compressed air the tentacle can wrap around a wide variety of differently shaped objects, just like its natural counterpart, and a vacuum can be applied to the larger suction cups to grip the object securely. Because it's soft, it holds promise for robots required to operate safely in collaboration with humans.
CRAM – University of California, Berkeley
Cockroaches are renowned for their hardiness and ability to disappear down cracks that seem far too small for them. Researchers at UC Berkeley decided these capabilities could be useful for search and rescue missions and so set about experimenting on the insects to find out their secrets.
They found the bugs can squeeze into gaps a fifth of their normal standing height by splaying their legs out to the side without significantly slowing themselves down. So they built a palm-sized robot with a jointed plastic shell that could do the same to squeeze into crevices half its normal height.
Snake Robot – Carnegie Mellon University
Search and rescue missions are a common theme for animal-inspired robots, but the snake robot built by CMU researchers is one of the first to be tested in a real disaster.
A team of roboticists from the university helped Mexican Red Cross workers search collapsed buildings for survivors after the 7.1-magnitude earthquake that struck Mexico City in September. The snake design provides a small diameter and the ability to move in almost any direction, which makes the robot ideal for accessing tight spaces, though the team was unable to locate any survivors.
The snake currently features a camera on the front, but researchers told IEEE Spectrum that the experience helped them realize they should also add a microphone to listen for people trapped under the rubble.
Bio-Hybrid Stingray – Harvard University
Taking more than just inspiration from the animal kingdom, a group from Harvard built a robotic stingray out of silicone and rat heart muscle cells.
The robot uses the same synchronized undulations along the edge of its fins to propel itself as a ray does. But while a ray has two sets of muscles to pull the fins up and down, the new device has only one that pulls them down, with a springy gold skeleton that pulls them back up again. The cells are also genetically modified to be activated by flashes of light.
The project's leader eventually hopes to engineer a human heart, and both his stingray and an earlier jellyfish bio-robot are primarily aimed at better understanding how that organ works.
Bat Bot – Caltech
Most recent advances in drone technology have come from quadcopters, but Caltech engineers think rigid devices with rapidly spinning propellers are probably not ideal for use in close quarters with humans.
That's why they turned to soft-winged bats for inspiration. That's no easy feat, though, considering bats use more than 40 joints with each flap of their wings, so the team had to optimize down to nine joints to avoid it becoming too bulky. The simplified bat can't ascend yet, but its onboard computer and sensors let it autonomously carry out glides, turns, and dives.
Salto – UC Berkeley
While even the most advanced robots tend to plod around, tree-dwelling animals have the ability to spring from branch to branch to clear obstacles and climb quickly. This could prove invaluable for search and rescue robots by allowing them to quickly traverse disordered rubble.
UC Berkeley engineers turned to the Senegal bush baby for inspiration after determining it scored highest in "vertical jumping agility"—a combination of how high and how frequently an animal can jump. They recreated its ability to get into a super-low crouch that stores energy in its tendons to create a robot that could carry out parkour-style double jumps off walls to quickly gain height.
Pleurobot – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
Normally robots are masters of air, land, or sea, but the robotic salamander built by researchers at EPFL can both walk and swim.
Its designers used X-ray videos to carefully study how the amphibians move before using this to build a true-to-life robotic version using 3D printed bones, motorized joints, and a synthetic nervous system made up of electronic circuitry.
The robot's low center of mass and segmented legs make it great at navigating rough terrain without losing balance, and the ability to swim gives added versatility. They also hope it will help paleontologists gain a better understanding of the movements of the first tetrapods to transition from water to land, which salamanders are the best living analog of.
Eelume – Eelume
A snakelike body isn't only useful on land—eels are living proof it's an efficient way to travel underwater, too. Norwegian robotics company Eelume has borrowed these principles to build a robot capable of sub-sea inspection, maintenance, and repair.
The modular design allows operators to put together their own favored configuration of joints and payloads such as sensors and tools. And while an early version of the robot used the same method of locomotion as an eel, the latest version undergoing sea trials has added a variety of thrusters for greater speeds and more maneuverability.
