The omnibus measure also prohibits officials from accepting private money to administer elections and directs state courts to inform elections officials about potential jurors being disqualified because they aren't U.S. on the date of the election in order to count. Republicans were unhappy with Brinson Bell - hired by the Democratic-majority in 2019 - for her role in a legal settlement that extended in 2020 the time for mailed-in ballot envelopes postmarked by the election date to be received and counted from three days after the election to nine days.Īn omnibus voting law also enacted Tuesday in part would eliminate that three-day window and instead require mailed-in ballots be received by county election offices by the time in-person balloting ends at 7:30 p.m. ![]() If the board can't decide, the decision would fall to Republican Senate leader Phil Berger. The law says the new state board also would have barely a week to decide whether to keep current state elections Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell on the job or hire someone else. 1, the board will be eight members, chosen by legislative leaders from both major parties and likely creating a 4-4 split among Democrats and Republicans.Ĭritics say these changes will lead to board impasses that will scale back the number of local early in-person voting sites and could send the outcomes of contested elections to the courts or the General Assembly to settle. The state elections board has been five members, with the governor's party historically holding three of the seats. North Carolina GOP legislators advancing the bills have not focused on Trump's grievances, but rather arguments that the legislation will promote bipartisan consensus in election administration and improve the public's confidence in election results.īut Cooper and his allies contend the election legislation is an attack on voting that will give Republicans the upper hand on close results. While Trump won North Carolina's electoral votes in both 20, Democrats see the state as a pickup opportunity for President Joe Biden in 2024. The electoral changes are among a wave of GOP election laws and administrative overhauls that have occurred while former President Donald Trump, who seeks a return to the White House, has repeatedly made false claims that the 2020 election was riddled with fraud. These laws - years in the making after previous Cooper's vetoes or lawsuits blocked legislation with similar provisions - advanced this year thanks to Republican seat gains in 2022 elections and an April party switch by a House Democrat to the Republican Party. One law would eliminate the governor's power to appoint the State Board of Elections and give it to legislative leaders, while the other would end a three-day grace period to receive and count absentee ballots as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. In a series of votes, the narrow GOP supermajorities in the House and Senate overturned five Cooper vetoes, two of which address elections and voting in the ninth-largest state - a likely presidential battleground where statewide races usually are very close. Lawsuits attempting to block the new laws are likely as the 2024 elections approach. North Carolina Republicans enacted vote-count restrictions and weakened the governor's ability to oversee elections and other state regulatory bodies on Tuesday by overriding Democratic Gov.

The picking and packing process in fulfillment centers has been notoriously hard to automate. ![]() We've raised a $65M Series B to scale our Autonomous Fulfillment Service and invest further in R&D towards inventing the autonomous supply chain using AI robotics. SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nimble Robotics, Inc., a robotics and ecommerce fulfillment technology company, today announced a $50 million Series A financing led by DNS Capital and GSR Ventures with participation from Accel and Reinvent Capital among others.Today, we are excited to share that we've been building out a nationwide network of next-generation robotic 3PL fulfillment centers to give eCommerce Brands Economical 2-day or Less Delivery. The capital raised will further accelerate the company’s hiring plans, product and technology development and scaling of robot deployments for its customers’ fulfillment operations. Sebastian Thrun, Founder of GoogleX and Waymo (Google’s self-driving car division), co-founder of Udacity and CEO of Kitty Hawk, former Director of Stanford’s AI Lab (SAIL) The company also announced the appointment of AI industry pioneers to its Board of Directors:įei-Fei Li, Sequoia Professor Computer Science at Stanford University, Co-Director of Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI), former Director of Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), former Chief Scientist of AI at Google Cloud, Twitter Board Director, and creator of ImageNet. Nimble’s mission is to democratize affordable, on-demand fulfillment for every ecommerce retailer. Nimble’s fleet of AI-powered robots intelligently pick, pack, and handle millions of products, spanning from apparel and electronics to beauty, general merchandise and grocery items. Today, Nimble robots are deployed in fulfillment centers across the United States picking over 100,000 items per day for customers including several Fortune 500 retailers.Ĭatalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic, eCommerce doubled in 2020, accelerating nearly 10 years of growth in the span of just a few months, according to McKinsey & Co.įinding reliable warehouse labor now ranks among the highest pain points for retailers as they attempt to maintain business continuity and simultaneously scale their fulfillment operations. With a declining available labor pool and sky-rocketing eCommerce sales there is a shortage of over half a million warehouse workers. “There is no fulfillment solution that can handle double the orders, fulfill them in half the time, with half the staff, for half the cost. We’ve assembled an all-star team of engineers to build the future of autonomous on-demand fulfillment to solve this problem. Our next-gen robotics technology will allow retailers and grocers of all sizes to have the fastest and most affordable fulfillment,” said Simon Kalouche, Nimble’s founder and CEO. In today’s fulfillment centers, the process of picking, handling, and packing individual products into customer boxes is still performed manually. ![]() In the past decade, advances in warehouse automation have been primarily confined to robot shuttles and conveyor systems that transport shelves and bins of inventory from storage to manual pick stations in what is called a goods-to-person system. In even the most highly automated fulfillment centers, the piece-picking task, where products are picked off a shelf or out of a bin and packed into the customer order, remains a manual task performed by people. ![]() Next I had to add a 'Beneficial Owner' in that section, so I added my majority-holding partner, who has 66.67% of the company. After I did that, she confirmed from the back end that this had lessened, but not removed the blockage. In the end the lady advised me to re-add the same number in the category 'Call Center'. There is only 'Work', 'Mobile' and 'Call center'. I tried to edit the category of that number into a 'business' number, but there is no such category available. We had already added one, a mobile for my partner, who has the majority share in our company. The lady told me that to unblock the account I had to add a business phone number. ![]() In fact, there are a great many fields in 'Business Information', and the fact that they were not filled in caused my account blockage once we hit a certain ceiling of money throughput. All that field shows in the panel is the name of your company, which might lead you to believe there is only one editable field in there. The lady directed me to Settings > My Profile > My Business Info > Business Information. The lady was able to see which missing information in my account was causing the block on transactions, even though this is not indicated to the end user in any way while he or she is blocked. The PayPal account in question is a Business account, and, as far as I can tell, this new payment of $1000+ pushed the account into a new level of required authentication. Turns out, I did.Īfter less than a minute I got through to a lady who was probably as helpful as anyone could have been under the circumstances. In desperation at the opaque messages from the web interface and the PayPal app, I hit the 'Call' button, not even knowing if I had enough international phone credits to call the US from Eastern Europe. Nor will the interface (web or mobile app) be able to tell you what information is missing, or what section you should go to to fix the problem - only a live person on a help call can do that. You'll have to really look for them, too: click and explore each 'Edit' link in that section, and don't be fooled by what the labels are on those links, because they are completely unintuitive. AFAIK the details of these ceilings are undocumented or otherwise unavailable to the public. Otherwise there is an endless string of ceilings that you will hit as the cumulative amount of money passing through your account rises. TLDR: If you have a business PayPal account, fill in each and every possible section of the Settings > My Profile > My Business Info panel that the panel will let you complete (in my case, 'Trading Name' is greyed out, for instance - PayPal neither autofills that information from my online info for the company, nor lets me complete it manually).

Prepare for your boondocking trip with a clean and full freshwater tank. #5 Bring Plenty of WaterĪll our boondocking tips are essential, but you won’t make it very far without having enough fresh drinking water. These help minimize the draw on your batteries. We also recommend having other solar-powered items such as lights, radios, backpacks, ovens, showers, and speakers. You still need to limit the amount of electricity you use because most solar setups cannot run your AC, microwave, fridge, TV, etc. Roof-mounted solar panels allow you to store energy in battery banks and then use your RV, built-in appliances, and lights as if plugged in at a campground. The battery has outlets, USB, and 12-volt ports to charge and power devices. Solar generators are high-capacity batteries that store energy collected from portable solar panels. While dry camping, you can use a gas generator, portable solar generator, roof-mounted solar panels, or a combination of all three. If you’re using a fuel generator, make sure you have extra fuel to keep from running out. If that’s still not enough, consider using a low-watt 12-volt blanket to keep you warm without cranking up your furnace. If it’s chilly, dress warmly and use those blankets. Try to park in a way where your largest windows are facing north and south. To keep the sunshine from heating the inside of your RV, use reflective and insulated shields over your windows. Many will flip to propane automatically but double-check it once you park. Make sure your refrigerator is running on propane. ![]() Remember, you won’t have electric hookups while boondocking, so this tip covers quite a bit. Keep in mind: Here are 7 reasons you don’t need RV solar power. What electronics will you be running while camping? Do you use an electric cooker or coffee maker? Or will you use only your propane stove? Do you have cooking gear that doesn’t need electricity? You’ll need to know this ahead of time to plan appropriately. If the weather is too cold, you’ll end up using too much propane. You don’t want to camp in the middle of a hot summer. Your camp and surrounding areas should be left in better condition than you found them. Pack enough garbage bags for your regular trash and any you might find in and around your campsite. Walk around the site and confirm you’ve not left anything behind when you leave. It means you need space in your RV or tow vehicle to store your garbage. Boondocking locations don’t have trash bins or dumpsters, but this is not an invitation to strew your trash all over your campsite. |
