In recent years, the recycling industry has taken a big hit.John Griffith with GFL Environmental in Denver, Colorado says the cost to recycle has gone up, and there’s more pressure to make sure what’s being recycled isn’t contaminated with trash.“We process probably 30 tons an hour,” Griffith said.Considering how much material the recycling facility takes in per day, low-cost efficiency is key, and technology has become its saving grace.“We’re using robotics and artificial intelligence to help deal with some of the primary challenges within the recycling facility,” AMP Robotics CEO Matanya Horowitz said.Created by AMP Robotics founder Matanya Horowitz, AMP Cortex is a high-speed robotics system guided by artificial intelligence.Here’s how it works: the brains and the eyes of the robot are at the top. As material passes below, its smart vision is able to pick out specific items to take out of the stream. Using its light-weight arms and rapid speed, a suction cup picks those objects up, and moves them to a different bin.“It’s very similar to just taking a vacuum cleaner you might have at home and putting it against a can and picking it up that way,” Horowitz said.The robot’s “smart vision” means it’s always learning new information. “This vision system is also connected with all the other robots across the country. So as one robot learns in a different part of the country or a different region, it also educates all the other robots so they’re constantly getting smarter,” Griffith said.However, the robot doesn’t work alone.“You could say these are the co-workers of our robot,” Griffith said as he passed human workers.Humans are still needed in the recycling process, but the robot has been able to take on sorting challenges that would otherwise be unsafe for people.“For obvious reasons, they don’t really mind getting stuck with hypodermic needles, or sifting through all the nasty stuff that ends up in the recycling like diapers, and so we can help move the manual sorter further away from these hazards,” Horowitz said.The robot at GFL Environmental is focusing its efforts on picking out items like milk jugs, coffee cups and margarine tubs. The materials were formerly considered trash, but now they can be put to valuable use and sold somewhere as another recyclable.“Our goal is to maximize the breadth of the recycling program, and by doing so, divert as much waste from the landfills into valuable purposes as possible,” Griffith said.Thanks to the robots, GFL Environmental is one of the first in the nation to recycle coffee cups. As more robots continue to deploy across the country, it’s clear artificial intelligence is helping to transform the recycling industry. Matanya says they’re efficient workers, but they’re also providing more transparency and data in the industry that has been historically difficult to obtain until now.“There hasn’t really been a sensor, or any means of automatically detecting how well things are working, where things are breaking down, where materials are ending up in the wrong spot. Artificial intelligence can do all that,” Horowitz said. 3127

In recent years, healing and meditation has become an important part of Janea Escobedo’s life.“It’s just very relaxing to be under the trees to watch the leaves, and hike around to see the wildlife. It’s, it’s very healing,” she says. Escobedo was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer.“In February of 2017, I was happy-go-lucky turned into a cancer patient with a very aggressive rare disease that I didn’t know what to do with,” she recalls. Dr. Radhika Acharya, the medical director of the UCHealth Cancer Center in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, has been assisting Escobedo in her cancer journey.“[Inflammatory breast cancer] makes up just about 0.2 to 0.5 percent of all breast cancers, so it’s very rare, and it involves the skin that overlies the breast,” Dr. Acharya says.She says inflammatory breast cancer is so rare, it’s a challenging cancer to diagnose. “I think what’s difficult is sometimes it gets underdiagnosed or not diagnosed correctly because it looks like mastitis, which is swelling of the breast from an infection, or cellulitis, which is swelling of the skin or infection of the skin," she explains. "And a lot of women can experience that after pregnancy or when they’re breastfeeding or just with trauma."As uncommon as it may be, Escobedo knew the symptoms from a news segment she had seen years prior. “Honestly didn’t feel sick, didn’t think anything was going on, but I had that itch,” Escobedo says.She thought that itch was simply dry skin. However, after a couple weeks, it was still itchy so Escobedo decided to visit the doctor. An MRI showed nothing, but a biopsy proved it was inflammatory breast cancer. “With inflammatory breast cancer, 9 times out of 10 there will be no lump,” Escobedo says.The potential for a lump is just one symptom out of many for the disease. Other possible symptoms include itchiness, swelling of the breast, dimpling or thickening of the skin (like the skin of an orange), a discolored or inverted nipple, or the breast can get warm. Considering it’s so difficult to discover, the cancer is often very advanced by the time it’s diagnosed. Escobedo says she had to go through super intense chemo, surgery and radiation. However, genetic testing helped guide doctors and Escobedo to make the right decisions for her body.“Genetic testing more and more is becoming part of the data points in considering a patients’ diagnosis and optimal treatment,” UCHealth Genetic counselor Kristina Markey says.Oncologists say if you think you could be experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor right away. “Be persistent, and don’t just sort of say ‘it will get better’. If it doesn’t get better, go see your doctor again,” Dr. Acharya says.Escobedo will have to undergo chemo every three weeks for the rest of her life. Some days, she says she can barely drag herself down the stairs, but in the end, she chooses to stay positive and keep going.“When I wake up in the morning and I’m alive, then I just need to live the day," Escobedo says. "And I have a strong faith in God, I have a very strong family bond, and I will be on chemo forever, but the good part is that forever may be much longer.”If you’d like to reach out to the journalist for this story, please email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3281

It's that feeling of leaving of money on the table. Like many of us, Donna Rosato, senior editor of the money team for Consumer Reports, has experienced it before.“I never even wore it. I knew right off the bat it was the wrong size but it took me too long to get the store, I was really upset,” Rosato said.To better educate consumers on different store’s return policies, 386

It’s no surprise that summer means frequent afternoon thunderstorms and downpours in many areas throughout the United States. While wet weather has plenty of benefits, storms leave behind bacteria-riddled puddles. And that can make your (perfectly innocent!) dog very sick.In the wake of wet weather, pets — particularly dogs that spend time outdoors — are more at risk of contracting leptospirosis and giardia. Don’t panic, though — both are treatable and pets will usually make a full recovery if the symptoms aren’t ignored, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). However, even in mild cases, they can create a headache for owners as their pet’s body fights off the illness.First up: leptospirosis. This is an infection caused by leptospira bacteria, which is found in soil and water. This usually affects dogs and is less common in cats, according to AVMA.Pets will typically come into contact with this bacteria after heavy rainfalls or while playing in or drinking out of rivers, lakes, streams and other standing water, or after exposure to wild animals. Leptospira, often called lepto, lives in standing water and mud. Pets can become infected if the bacteria moves from the source to the mucus membranes in a dog’s mouth or an open wound, according to AVMA. It’s then spread through the body via the bloodstream. Leptospirosis can vary from mild to severe, but the sooner it’s treated, the better. If your dog is infected, they may display the 1491
