Inside The World's Largest Chips Factory TSMC: A Robot Factory In Taiwan China

If you've been paying attention to "the news" you know there's a global logistical supply-change shortage of semiconductors that's disrupting vital and important large-scale industrial/manufacturing operations.
There are plans to build not one but two FABS here in Arizona.

TSMC was a topic of discussion by GPEC President Chris Camacho at last month's meeting on May 4,2021 of the City of Mesa's Economic Development Advisory Board Meeting.
Here are some details:
". . .A quick look at metrics from July through June FY21, we are trending right above 250 projects currently, 22% of those come from international locations, most notably out of Canada and the western European market and then most recently with TSMC that is going to north Phoenix. 
That project was a three-and-a-half-year process that will now manifest roughly two dozen supplier companies that will need rail, air quality measurements and vast power requirements. 
> 28 companies have located with $654.5 million in capital investment, 
> 5,589 jobs (excluding TSMC) and 
> $81,454 average high wage salary
Arguably, we have seen labor rates continue to rise across the region and it has made a more competitive market. . ."

Dateline June 11,2021 12:39 PM EDT 2021 Pulitzer Awards Announcement: Prizes, Contenders and Speculation + A SPECIAL CITATION FOR A CELLPHONE RECORDING

If that's an odd way to state a headline there are reasons:

Pulitzer Prizes 2021: The Full List Of Winners

The 2021 Pulitzer Prizes, journalism’s highest honor, were announced Friday after a historic year shaped by a nationwide racial justice reckoning, a polarizing presidential election and a devastating global pandemic. 

The Pulitzer Prize Board postponed the awards, originally slated for April 19, for the second consecutive year so that its 18 members could deliberate in person, rather than remotely. The annual awards luncheon, usually held at Columbia University, is also delayed until the fall.

> One big contender for a Pulitzer this year was The New York Times’ investigation of the income tax information former President Donald Trump kept from the public called “The President’s Taxes,” written by Scripps Howard Award and the George Polk Award winners Russ Buettner, Susanne Craig and Mike McIntire. Although that story didn’t take home a prize, The Times won the Public Service and Criticism Pulitzers for its extensive coronavirus coverage and Wesley Morris’ piece titled “My Mustache, My Self” on the intersection of race and culture in America, respectively.

> Minneapolis’ Star Tribune, which was honored bythe Scripps, Polk and Online News Association Awards, was also speculated to win for its piece “The Killing of George Floyd,” as Scripps called the article “a local news story that quickly became the global epicenter of America’s long struggle with racial inequality and injustice,” according to Poynter. For that story and more, the publication’s staff was named the winner of the Breaking News Reporting Pulitzer.

> Notably, 18-year-old Darnella Frazier was honored with the Special Citation for her cell phone recording of Floyd’s murder, “a video that spurred protests against police brutality around the world, highlighting the crucial role of citizens in journalists' quest for truth and justice.”

Stay tuned for the full list of 2021’s winning storytellers in journalism, books, poetry and more below as they are announced:

Early Onslaught of Trump Apprentices Lurch into Arizona Election Races For 2022

The roster of Republican contenders is expanding almost every day with new announcements in both statewide and national contests upstream and downstream. New candidates are jockeying for the top jobs in what are now crowded fields of schemes and dreams.
There's already some fall-out; for example in the case of one challenger for Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Kelly - GOP Candidate Jim Lamon - where the fault-lines or bonfires are getting reported with the usual not-so-surprising strategies.
Donate today!
Here's the recent run-down 10 hours ago by Lachlan Markay - it covers "the bases" just in case you are wondering where his loyalties might lie . . . . .

Arizona Senate candidate poured millions into voter registration group

"Days before the first Republican candidate jumped into next year's Arizona Senate race, he poured millions into an ostensibly nonpartisan voter registration operation affiliated with prominent election fraud conspiracy theorists.

Why it matters: GOP candidate Jim Lamon embraces many of these theories, and a drive to register voters with the same inclination has the potential to benefit his candidacy. Lamon also stands to get a substantial tax break from his $2 million effort to turn out conservative voters.

What's happening: In late April, Lamon, a renewable energy executive, announced his donation to the nonprofit Look Ahead America, designed to help register "tens of thousands of new conservative voters."

  • A week later, Lamon officially entered the race to challenge Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat.
  • Records indicate Lamon had been laying the groundwork for his run by the time he donated to LAA: his campaign website's domain was registered in March, and its social media pages were created in April.
  • LAA is officially a nonpartisan charity and can legally engage in voter registration activities as long as they're not geared toward benefitting a specific candidate or party.
  • The group said it planned to use Lamon's $2 million to register and turn out "America First patriots."
  • LAA executive director Matthew Braynard told Axios the group is in the process of reapplying for tax exemption. If it's granted, Lamon's donation to the group will be retroactively tax-deductible.
  • "We take our nonpartisan obligation extremely seriously," Braynard said in an email. "We do not have any direct contact with Mr. Lamon or anyone working with him regarding our activities in AZ other than sending the reminders for payment to his accountant (it’s a monthly commitment)."

Between the lines: Efforts byBraynard's group to root out supposed voter fraud last year were cited in multiple failed lawsuits seeking to overturn election results in states carried by Joe Biden in his matchup with President Trump.

  • The group has turned its attention this year to lobbying state and local governments to abandon contracts with voting machine companies at the center of Trump-backed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
  • Lamon has pushed many of the same conspiracy theories. Jim Lamon is the 1st Republican to enter Arizona&#39;s 2022 Senate race
  • He joined Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward late last year in unsuccessfully suing to block Biden's victory in the state.
  • Lamon's company donated $300,000 to the Arizona GOP in March, as the state party used a Republican-led "audit" of the state's 2020 election results to boost its fundraising substantially.

Then, again here's one more challenger for Mark Kelly > BLAKE MASTERS who is backed by Big Money

Peter Thiel makes $10M bet on associate in Arizona Senate race

"Libertarian tech titan Peter Thiel is spending $10 million to boost one of his closest allies in next year’s Arizona Senate race, a contest crucial to the fight for the majority.

Charismatic Venture Capitalist Blake Masters, May Challenge Sen McSally For  AZ GOP Nomination - Tennessee Star

NOTE: ". . .Those close to Thielsay he’s also looking at potentially supporting other 2022 contenders, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is seeking reelection, and army veteran Joe Kent, who is waging a challenge to GOP Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Trump impeachment backer, in Washington state's all-party primary next year."

The billionaire is coming out in support of Blake Masters, the chief operating officer of Thiel Capital and the president of the Thiel Foundation, who is expected to soon enter the race. Thiel, who co-founded PayPal, is bankrolling Saving Arizona PAC, a newly formed, pro-Masters super PAC, according to a person familiar with the investment. . .Thiel’s support could play a major role in Arizona by helping Masters possibly scare away would-be Republican opponents.

The list of potential candidates also includes state Attorney General Mark Brnovich,  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich enters US Senate race

energy company executive Jim Lamon and Rep. Andy Biggs. The anti-tax Club for Growth has signaled it would likely back Biggs, the chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, should he enter the contest. . .

Reported earlier

Senate hopeful Jim Lamon ripped Capitol Hill spending, but his company got COVID-19 relief

Screengrab campaign video/YouTube

By Yvonne Wingett Sanchez |Arizona Republic

Republican Jim Lamon, who entered Arizona’s GOP U.S. Senate race this week, suggested Congress was spending excessively to deal with the pandemic’s economic fallout.

In an announcement video, Lamon lamented the power “to spend so much money, our grandchildren will struggle to pay off the debt” while an on-screen headline noted that Congress has already spent $4 trillion in COVID-19 relief spending. 

But records show his own company, Depcom Power, received $2.6 million in relief last year from the Paycheck Protection Program, intended by Congress to provide some economic reprieve for payroll, rent, mortgage interest or utilities. Lamon is the founder and chairman of the Scottsdale-based solar engineering and construction company.

The company was among the thousands of Arizona businesses that received federal aid.

Lamon did not respond Wednesday to The Arizona Republic’s attempts to reach him for comment

The Rise of the Thielists

Has the Republican Party found its post-Trump ideology?

". . .Most of us, these days, operate downstream from one billionaire or another, and the most interesting and destabilizing parts of the Republican Party are operating downstream from Thiel, whose net worth Bloomberg recently estimated at more than six billion dollars. . ."

HALCYON MAPS Creative Place-Making: The Alexa Web-Traffic Data Visualization of The 2021 World Wide Web Internet

Harking back to historic cartography here's THE MAP OF INTERNET 2021 produced and published by Halcyon Maps. 
Relative territorial sizes of websites on the main map are based on their average Alexa web traffic ranking between January 2020 and January 2021.
A narrative from Techdirt
Here's a thumbnail version, but you really should go check out the full size version on Martin's website (or, better yet, buy some prints of the whole thing).

Just the fact that looking at this smaller version above it's nearly impossible to read what most of the "countries" are should give you just a taste of how vast the non-big-tech part of the world wide web really is. There's a lot of "land" out there that isn't controlled by the big players, and we should be celebrating that. On his website he's got a few zoomed in examples as well, including the part that is my favorite: "Protocol Ocean."

Now some may quibble with various aspects of this. It's based on Alexa data, which isn't the most reliable, and it's only covering web traffic, which likely misses a lot of activity that is purely mobile these days. But still, when laid out this way, you really begin to get a sense of the diversity of the web.

Map Of The Internet Exposes The Lie That 'Big Tech' Controls The Internet

from the it's-a-wide-wide-world-wide-web dept

"To hear many people talk about things, the entire internet these days is controlled by just a few companies, mainly Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Depending on who you're talking to, you may hear them throw in companies like Netflix. But some of us keep pointing out that while those guys are big, that doesn't mean the rest of the internet stops existing. And it's still incredibly large. If you want this point really driven home, check out this amazing map of the 2021 internet by Martin Vargic (first spotted via Fast Company).

 
============================================================================
EXPLANATION:
> Compared to any previous iteration of the Map of the Internet, this new version is many times more detailed and informative. It includes several thousand of some of the most popular websites, represented as distinct "countries", which are grouped together with others of similar type or category, forming dozens of distinct clusters, regions and continents that stretch throughout the map, such as "news sites", "search engines", "social networks", "e-commerce", "adult entertainment", "file sharing", "software companies" and so much more.  In the center of it all can be found ISPs and web browsers, which form the core and backbone of the internet as we know it, while the far south is the domain of the mysterious "dark web".
> Color schemes of websites are based on the dominant colors of their user interface or logo. To add further detail and provide deeper insight, many features and services provided by these websites, their sections and content categories, as well as distinct content creators, are labeled as cities and towns (which number at well over 10 thousand). Website founders and CEOs are represented as capital cities, while hundreds of the most popular users of social networks and celebrities can be found in the realms of Youtube, Facebook, or Twitter. Mountains, hills, seas and valleys represent a wide variety of aspects of the internet, its culture and computer science overall, while almost a hundred of some of the most important internet and computing pioneers are also featured on the map in the names of underwater ridges. > Surrounding the main map, the graphic also includes a large amount of supplemental information, including a ranking of the most popular websites, largest internet-related companies, list of major sites blocked in China or best-selling video games of all time, as well as several smaller maps of the real world, on internet-related topics, such as the share of population using the internet, cost and speed of broadband, levels of internet censorship and the most popular social network by country.
 
_____________________________________________________________________________________
". . .In the coming years, the relative popularity of sites bound to gradually change, some of the old sites will be shut down as new sites take their place, so this map can provide an unprecedented visualization to the future generations of how internet used to be.

Since its inception in 1989, the internet has been in a state of continuous flux as millions of different sites emerged and then fell by the wayside. From this initial chaos, many major corporate players have emerged over the decades, and have since become dominant in heir respective niches. This trend has been especially evident in the last decade, as Google, Youtube, Amazon and Facebook have far outgrown or absorbed most of their previous competition on an international global scale. Increasingly, this has led to mounting accusations of monopolistic behavior, censorship and misuse of user data.

STATES OF EMERGENCY: Deep In Decades-Old Drought Utah Governor Cox Urges Prayer For Rain (Regardless of Religious Affiliation)

The West is ablaze in deep red and burgundy on for the U.S., signaling extreme to exceptional drought. Here is A snapshot of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Drought Monitor on June 1st, 2021. NOAA
 
A snapshot of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Drought Monitor on June 1st, 2021.
 
Water levels at Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the US, are expected to keep dropping throughout the year. . .The lake surface has dropped 140 feet since 2000, leaving the reservoir just 37 percent full. With such a dramatic drop, officials expect to declare an official water shortage for the first time ever. That could affect water and energy that Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam deliver to Arizona, California, and Nevada.
The drought tugging at the lake’s water levels is affecting other states in the region, too. “Please join me and Utahns, regardless of religious affiliation, in a weekend of humble prayer for rain,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said in a video plea last week. He declared a state of emergency in March as Utah, like much of the West, plunged deep into drought.

The Hoover Dam reservoir is at an all-time low

Much of the Western US faces drought, extreme heat, and fire risk

A general view of Lake Mead, a human-made lake that lies on the Colorado River, about 24 miles southeast of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the states of Nevada and Arizona, on December 21st, 2019, in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. Formed by the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States and serves water to the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada, as well as some of Mexico, providing sustenance to nearly 20 million people and large areas of farmland.

Lake Mead, the reservoir created by the Hoover Dam, that feeds water to 25 million people across Western states, is historically low. On June 9th, the water level dipped to 1,071.57 feet above sea level, narrowly beating a record low last set in 2016.

It didn’t help that a sweltering spring heatwave hit much of the continental US this past weekend. Las Vegas, some 30 miles from Lake Mead, reached 109 degrees Fahrenheit and could see even higher temperatures next week. Altogether, the drought and heat are scary omens for this year’s fire season. An above-normal risk of fire is forecasted for the Southwest through June, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

In July, the Southwest’s monsoon season is expected to kick in and provide some relief — at least temporarily. Climate change has brought on higher spring and summer temperatures, more severe wildfires, less snow (which much of the West relies on for water), and more intense dry seasons.

ARIZONA ( Reference: https://new.azwater.gov/drought/drought-status )

Monthly Drought Status Summary: MAY 2021

May is typically one of the two driest months in Arizona. Up to 0.50 inches of rain were received throughout Coconino, Yavapai, Gila, and Apache counties. However, this was not enough to improve current drought conditions. While north central Arizona received most of the rain, the rest of the state remained exceedingly dry, roughly 60%-90% below last year’s average precipitation levels for the month.

Drought conditions have remained largely unchanged through the month with 95% of the state in Severe (D2) to Exceptional (D4) drought.

No substantial improvement to drought is expected in June

Wildland fires continued to impact the state with above-normal fire risk. Stage 2 fire restrictions were issued on state lands in Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pima, Pinal, and Santa Cruz counties. All other counties continued Stage 1 fire restrictions.

May temperatures across the state were generally average for the month. The outlook for summer shows above average temperatures expected, with equal chances for above, normal, or below average amounts of rain.

This report was prepared by the Arizona Drought Monitoring Technical Committee on June 7, 2021. Arizona's short-term drought status map is updated during the first week of each month.

ARIZONA ADEQ Monitoring and Assessment: Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Program

( Reference: https://legacy.azdeq.gov/environ/water/assessment/ambient.html )

---- NOTHING MORE RECENT THAN 2015???????????????????????????\

The groundwater monitoring program seeks to characterize groundwater quality in each of the 51 groundwater basins that have been designated in Arizona by state agencies. Comprehensive groundwater sampling is conducted in a basin following the approval of a sample plan. . .

Studies

The ADEQ Ambient Monitoring Program has completed reports covering 20 groundwater basins within Arizona. These reports are available in two formats: a comprehensive Open File Report (OFR) and a compact four-page fact sheet (FS). The OFR is designed for audiences seeking an indepth hydrologic analysis of the basin. In contrast, the FS is designed for a more general audience seeking a brief overview of the groundwater quality of the basin.

The data for all samples collected for these studies, besides being available in the individual OFRs are also available through the ADEQ Groundwater Database. This database includes all samples collected by the ADEQ Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Program as well as other monitoring programs within the agency.
