    Fukushima robots have died from radiation

    in Topics

    Posted

    Clean up efforts have been slow and remote-controlled robots sent to the power plant to remove melted fuel rods have died – their wiring fried by the high amounts of radiation still leaking from the plant.READ MORE Fukushima builds 'ice wall' to contain leaksThe untimely death of these bots leaves Tokyo Electric Power Company in a quandary, as it struggles to deal with the disaster and the radiation leaking into the water.According to ScienceAlert, the Tepco has dealt with only 10 percent of the mess created by the tsunami and subsequent meltdown.The good news is that the robots, built by Toshiba, were able to remove 1,535 spent fuel-rod assemblies from the reactor 4 building before they went kaput, but the radiation levels were lower there, making the job easier to perform.But Reactor 3 has been a different story. The radiation levels are much higher and the sensitive electronics and wires inside the robots couldn’t handle it.Unfortunately, a new robot cannot be sent in to complete the job. Each one was customized for the job at hand and took two years to build. There don’t seem to be any understudies waiting in the wings. And in fact, a robot capable of withstanding the high levels of radiation environment doesn’t exist.Tepco thinks a serious effort toward clean up can begin in 2021 and says it will take between 30 and 40 years to complete. ■

    Coca-Cola Cans Just Got Really Musical

    Brand Puts More Than 70 Song Lyrics on Packaging

    ko_sas_min_mind4.jpeg

    This summer, Coca-Cola will again try to teach the world to sing -- this time with a little help from its bottles and cans.

    In the next phase of its "Share a Coke" campaign, the cola giant starting in April will put song lyrics on packaging pulled from more than 70 popular songs. Lyrics cover a range of music, from rock 'n' roll classics like Queen's "We are the Champions" to patriotic songs such as "Proud to Be An American" by Lee Greenwood. (See some examples in the above slideshow.) Coke will also include lyrics from some of its iconic campaigns, such as "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke," the classic jingle that includes the line, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony."

    The campaign, called "Share a Coke and a Song," will be supported by music-themed TV spots, social media and a summer-long experiential tour that begins with an event at this weekend's Final Four. The campaign will cover Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Coca-Cola Life, furthering the marketer's new "one-brand" strategy that unites multiple varieties together in the same marketing.

    Agencies on the campaign include: Wieden & Kennedy, Portland for creative;Universal McCann for media; Arc Worldwide for shopper marketing; Cornerstone for music; Fast Horse for PR and FortyFour and Irban Group for e-commerce.

    The program sets up a summer of dueling packaging plays between the nation's' two biggest cola brands. Rival Pepsi is planning to dress its cans and bottles in custom emoji designs called "PepsiMojis."

    Coke plans to extend its campaign to mobile by encouraging consumers to use the Shazam app to scan specially marked 20-ounce bottles and in-store signage. That will allow users to record a 15-second "digital lip-sync video" that can be shared on social media using the hashtag #ShareaCoke, according to the brand.

     

    Coke first ran "Share a Coke and a Song" in China in 2014, but this is the first time the campaign has come to the U.S.

    I thought I would share that I received a lead last night from a family member that works for Compass Group. They provide food service management and support services to several companies and large organizations. They just won the contract for Intel and they have many jobs to fill immediately. My understanding is that most positions require little or no experience.
