The Library of the Future In my quest to learn more and more about drone business models, I came across an interesting article by Francis Nath from the Rain Forest Research Institute in India. Library drone delivery is not something I’ve seen much in the drone blogs I read or even in the scholarly papers I read about drone technology and business. So, I wanted to provide a summary of the article as well as provide a little of my own opinions and input on the article. Over the past several years, drone technology has become much more commercialized and as a result, so many creative technology professionals and entrepreneurs are looking for ways to create scalable businesses around this technology. Some current sources of revenue for drone operators include filming video and movies, aerial photography, search and rescue operations, crop monitoring services, and meteorological services. As more and more business leaders become more familiar with this technology, many businesses are moving their drone services in-house. In the article Library drone delivery programme: A study, Nath provides a framework for understanding how drone technology can be integrated into library resources for the community. Since people today are busier than every (well, except for right now in during the quarantine!), many don’t have the time to visit their libraries to use the resources available to them. What if your local library offered drone delivery services? Would you use it? Delivery drones could deliver books wherever and whenever a patron needs the resources, just by using their smartphones. Worldwide, there are already a few drone delivery services up and running such as FlyTrex in Israel. The FAA is working with several drone delivery companies in the US, including Amazon Air. One way libraries can bring drone technology into it’s offerings is to provide workshops and curriculum to the community of how to fly, code, and build drones. Drones will (and already have) created opportunities around content creation and research, therefore more libraries should be using this emerging technology. In densely-populated areas, libraries are usually centrally-located. Urban expansion, traffic, complicated bus schedules, and hectic schedules often prevent people from using the library. To encourage more library use, delivery drones could deliver 2-5 books at one time the patron’s doorstep or right to their hands, regardless of location using the GPS technology in their phones. In 2018, the cost of a single delivery drone was $5,000. Add on the cost of software and extending the library’s Integrated Library Management System, there does need to be an investment and long-term commitment to implementing a drone program in a library. Should a library bring drone delivery to their available resources, here’s how it might work: The library patron use the library app to make a selection. The patron’s physical location would be found using the phone’s GPS.The library receives the request and staff retrieve and check-out the documents (wouldn’t it be cool to have an automated robot retrieve the books?) Staff hands over to drone-handling staff to safely pack the droneStaff in the Ground Control Center fly the drone to deliver the books and fly back Library Drone Delivery Considerations As with creating anything new, there are some important points to consider. Why is library drone delivery necessary?What pain-point is this solving?Technical requirements of the drone, ILMS, maintenance, data storage should all be clearly documented.A site analysis should be conducted to determine any safety hazards, including an airspace analysis.How, when, and where will the drone delivery services be tested.What constitutes success?The one question I always like to add in is, “So what?” It really helps you get past the “this would be a really cool thing to do” and get more into the nitty gritty of the problem you’re trying to solve.
Craig Wilkens, business development with Doosan Portable Power, explains wet stacking in generators, why it's a problem and how the company's Intelligent Load Management System (ILMS) can reduce the chance of wet stacking. Purchasing or renting a generator that is larger than what a jobsite actually needs is a problem. Often, the load being powered doesn't exceed 5% to 10% of the general output of that large generator - basically the generator is idling. The goal is a 30% threshold, Wilkens says. When the generator is running so low, the engine doesn't get up to operating temperature, exhaust components plug up with unused fuel and the generator doesn't run properly. It could even cause the generator to not meet EPA regulations. The Doosan Intelligent Load Management System is an option designed to prevent this. The ILMS is belt driven and creates heat and load on the engine to get it over the 30% threshold, Wilkens says. According to Doosan, the ILMS creates supplemental heat within the exhaust system, which aids the regeneration process without limiting the generator capacity or causing downtime. The system is programmed to run only when it is needed.

ILMS 22 – Altogether Beautiful: Middle Schoolers and Teens Altogether Beautiful Identity Concept of the Sense of Self They are asking: What are my personal values and beliefs? What are my goals?

ILMS 21 – YA: Brought The best way to make sense of God’s work in destruction is to remember what He is done and Who He is. Psalm 46:8-9 Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. Brought Desolations End to war The grey area of destruction God does destroy and allow destruction, Ecc 3, God created for our benefit but He will work in destruction to reveal Himself, without Good Friday there is no Easter Hebrew for desolations = waste or horror (Shawmah) to (shawbath) Come behold the works of the Lord what is there to behold that the Lord does? He place of rememberance in getting through life’s hard stuff Brainstorm- God creates God provides God disciplines God watches over God changes - hearts and history God saves God brings in rest and restoration Brought Israelites out of Egypt – Exodus 14-15 What were the hard parts (the destruction and loss) and where was the rest (victory)?

ILMS 18 – YA: With We often formulate our ideas of God based on our ideas of people. Psalm 46:7 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. This is a refrain of Psalm 46 Refrain: something repeated Question: Why might this be a useful chorus to repeat to ourselves or one another in our own lives? What kinds of things happen in the Psalm and in our lives that draw us to remember and need God? What kinds of things cause us to forget God or set God aside? God with us = Never alone, even at our loneliest, God in the middle of everything Spiritual truth- We have a “With Us” God Biblical Proof: Zephaniah 3:17 What does God enjoy watching you do in life? Joshua 1:9 Where is God going with you today? Psalm 23:4 What kinds of shadows is God walking through with us? Consider how God is with each person in these passages and what that means for us: Judges 6:12 Matthew 28:20 Isaiah 7:14 Proverbs 18:10 - running to God to be with Him The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

ILMS 6 - YA: Moved Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Fun question: What mountains have you been to? Where? What did you think? What pictures have you seen of mountains? What stood out? Who controls the mountains? What is scary about the idea of the mountains falling? What is fear? Fear respect v. fear anxiety Page through Genesis 1,2, and 3 – God creates, we have no fear, sin brings fear What evidence do you see of no fear and then fear? What are the what ifs of life? God works good in our messes, even in fear. Job 9:4-6 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?— 5 he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, 6 who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; Does God get angry? What about that makes us uncomfortable? What makes God angry? What would be disconcerting about a God who doesn’t care enough to get angry? John 3:16 When we know God through Jesus Christ… Where we build fear, God builds faith. God is building a mountain of faith in us. God’s faith looks a lot like love and grace. 1 Corinthians 13:2-3 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. When Jesus says you could move mountains, he’s still talking about love, not just doing cool stuff.

ILMS 60 - Ten Minutes of Courage My small obsession with Sherlock “I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a nervous man. At the same time, it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.” ~ The Final Problem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Ten Minute Truth #1 - God does not condemn us for our fear.
