Interview with Dr. Petar Veličković, a member of the Advisory Board
The contribution of our tools was crucial enough for us to be credited with discovering new mathematical results, even though most of our efforts went into developing machine learning models.
In early December, we received news that the world's leading scientific journal Nature published on its cover the research paper on the use of AI in representation theory and knot theory.
For the first time, and thanks to machine learning methods, mathematicians have gained new insights in this field, and among the three main authors of the research is a member of the Advisory Board of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Dr. Petar Veličković.
"My research ideal is to develop machine learning algorithms that are theoretically well-grounded, elegant to implement, and most importantly, useful to the relevant field experts. With our recently published work on the use of AI in pure mathematics, I would say that we have successfully achieved all these goals. Our models are faithful to the mathematical objects on which they operate, we have made all of our source code publicly available, and the mathematicians with whom we have collaborated have expressed great delight with the tools we have developed. The contribution of our tools has been crucial enough that we are credited with discovering new mathematical results, even though most of our efforts went into developing machine learning models," says Dr. Veličković.
Dr. Petar Veličković is a Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind, Affiliated Lecturer at the University of Cambridge and Associate of Clare Hall, Cambridge. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge (Trinity College). He is an approved ELLIS Scholar in the Geometric Deep Learning Programme and the first author of Graph Attention Networks and Deep Graph Infomax.
For publication, the young Serbian scientist adds:
"For all the reasons I have just listed, I consider this paper to be one of the greatest achievements of my scientific career so far. The fact that our work has been recognised by the journal Nature, where it graces the cover, only makes the feeling even more fantastic! But as with all my previous successes, I see this primarily as a stepping stone for what's coming next, i.e. a motivator to keep the momentum in the future as well."
The love of science is the crucial factor for outstanding scientific results.
"At least in my experience, success requires, above all, perseverance and a true passion for your field of study. In science - perhaps most especially in our recent mathematical project - we often not only do not have the 'right answers', we do not have the right questions, and the results we collect often leave us with more questions than we had before collecting those results. In these situations, it is very easy to give up on the project or look for ways of higher "certainty". It is precisely at such moments this passion becomes invaluable, and without the true desire to expand human knowledge, any other external motivation of a researcher could become meaningless," says Dr. Veličković.
Dr. Petar Veličković's list of informal interests is also very interesting. When he is doing research, he listens mostly to electronic and downtempo music. He goes to concerts and he is interested in cooking. His favourite TV series is Mr. Robot because it combines a great story, characters, well-chosen songs and scenes that represents modern cybersecurity threats.
"The best way to understand something is to explain it to someone else," is Veličković's guiding principle.
"Guided by this quote, I have been actively sharing my knowledge with the broader community, both within Serbia (where, for example, I was one of the initiators of the Computer Science Week at the Mathematical Grammar School; a computer science lecture series for gifted high school students) and abroad. Most recently, I was part of a team of lecturers that elucidated the concepts of geometric deep learning to talented African students as part of the African Master's in Machine Intelligence."
His motto in life is a verse from the song 'Outro' by the band M83: "Facing tempests of dust, I'll fight until the end".
"This quote perfectly combines several aspects of my personality and philosophy. For me, it represents the desire to persevere in whatever I decide to tackle, regardless of the circumstances," adds the 28-year-old scientist.
Although he has never formally studied, he is very interested in aerodynamics. He also follows Formula 1 races and spends his free time with his family and close friends.
"I have been very fortunate to meet some truly outstanding people during my education. Their support, as well as the support of my family, is probably the main reason for my success today," concludes Dr. Veličković.

About Uptime Institute
Uptime Institute 9th Annual Global Survey Shows Privately-Owned Enterprise Data Centers Remain Bedrock of Corporate IT
Enterprise data centers run the majority of all IT workloads today, with the need for resilience across hybrid infrastructure seen as a major focus going forward
May 28, 2019, SEATTLE, WA – Uptime Institute today announced the key findings of its ninth annual Global Data Center Survey, the largest and most comprehensive in the data center sector. Findings show that the sector has become exceptionally complex as it continues to adapt to change. Demanding business requirements strain the ability of traditional mechanical and electrical systems to keep pace. Meanwhile, new challenges have arisen, including those associated with orchestrating hybrid architectures, staffing and skills alignment, workload placement decision making processes, and the desire to leverage innovative technologies without increasing risk.
Annually, Uptime Institute conducts its comprehensive global survey about the data center industry. Respondents are separated into two groups to assure perspectives are not mixed. The first group includes IT managers, owners and operators of data centers and focuses on their business platform choices. The second group includes suppliers, designers and consultants and those that service this industry. This year the survey was conducted between March and April 2019 and includes responses from nearly 1,100 end users in more than 50 countries.
"This year's survey shows that the data center sector is finding it challenging to manage complexity. Most organizations have hybrid infrastructure, with a computing platform that spans multiple cloud, co-location and enterprise environments. This in turn, increases application and data access complexity," said Andy Lawrence, executive director of research, Uptime Institute. "It's an approach that has the potential to be very liberating – it offers greater agility and when deployed effectively, increased resiliency. But it also carries a higher risk of business services performance issues due to highly leveraged network and orchestration requirements. In a hybrid infrastructure, any of these failures can cause service degradation or complete service outages depending on how the hybrid architecture is designed. The survey reveals that the transition to these more diversified, dynamic architectures raises many issues around resiliency and business service delivery and that we need more management oversight, transparency and accountability at the business level."
The Foundation of Enterprise Computing
This year's survey shows that in corporate IT, there is still a strong dependence on the privately-owned or operated enterprise data center, which currently accounts for more than half of all IT workloads. Capacity demand in the enterprise space is still growing, along with cloud and colocation data center buildouts. IT workloads are being spread across a range of platforms, with a third predicted to be contracted to external suppliers (such as cloud and SAAS providers) by 2021. And while enterprise data center capacity is actually growing in size, it is decreasing as a percentage of the total capacity needed.
Traditionally, most IT and data center managers have maintained availability at their primary data center through rigorous attention to power, infrastructure, connectivity and on-site IT replication. Today, distributed resiliency using active-active data centers is becoming more common; 40% of those surveyed said they use availability zones for resiliency, a strategy that requires at least two active data centers replicating data to each other.
According to respondents, modern architectures have made it easier to spread work more reliably and cost effectively across multiple sites, and with proper operational processes this can reduce overall risk and improve resiliency. Business processes and applications often span multiple data centers; even temporary unavailability can cause problems. A full 60% of respondents said their most recent significant data center outage could have been prevented with better management/processes or configuration discipline.
Lack of Visibility into Public Cloud
Public cloud operators are the most committed users of distributed resiliency and availability zones that promise to achieve high levels of performance and availability. Despite this, almost three-quarters of respondents indicated that they are not placing their core mission-critical applications into a public cloud for various reasons. Findings show that a lack of visibility, transparency and accountability of public cloud services is a major issue for enterprises with mission-critical applications. Over one-fifth of all managers said they would be more likely to place workloads in a public cloud if they had more visibility into the provider's operational resiliency. Among those using a public cloud for mission-critical applications, almost half said they do not think they have adequate visibility, which increases their risk profile. The vetting process for third-party services, such as cloud, should go beyond a contractual service level agreement, and should include greater dynamic visibility, direct support during service degradations, more accountability and a better cost recovery plan when problems occur.
Outages Still Common:
Outages this year map closely to 2018 findings, with just over a third of respondents having business impacts associated with some type of infrastructure outage or serious degradation of service in the past year. These outages increasingly span multiple data centers, and best practices dictate comprehensive and ongoing resiliency reviews of all company-owned and third-party digital infrastructure. Over 10% of all respondents said their most recent reportable outage impacted their organization in a very tangible fashion, citing more than $1 million in direct and indirect costs. (See Uptime Institute's Outage Severity Rating for more insight into the range of impacts from various outage scenarios).
Additional Findings:
The sector is facing a staffing crisis, with 61% of all respondents saying they have significant difficulty recruiting or retaining staff. And diversity issues are becoming more impactful to the business as skilled resources become harder to recruit. A full 25% of managers surveyed had no women among their design, build or operations staff, and only 5% of respondents said women represented 50% or more of staff.
While power loss continues to be the single biggest cause of service outages, accounting for one-third of those outages reported, the aggregate of all higher-level IT stack issues (including the network) accounted for twice that percentage of service failures.

The epithelium consists of Sertoli's sustentacular cells and the spermatogenic cells. The Sertoli's cells form a single-layered lamina and extend from the basal lamina to the tubule lumen. With their labyrinthine cellular processes they surround the individual types of germ cells more or less completely. Spermatogenesis is thus accomplished in close contact with the Sertoli's cells, which not only have supportive and nourishing functions, but also secrete hormones and phagocytize cell fragments. Somewhat above the basal lamina they are bound to each other through complicated occluding junctional complexes (tight junctions), so that 2 separated compartments are present in the epithelium: a basal one, in which the spermatogonia are lined up, and a luminal one, in which all the other stages of spermatogenesis are found.
Schema of the germinal epithelium: The supportive (Sertoli) cells sit on the basal membrane. Towards the lumen of the spermatogonia (lowest row of cells) the Sertoli cells are connected with each other by the occluding junctional complexes (tight junctions). This seal gives rise to the blood-testicle barrier. The cytoplasm of these supportive cells gets formed into complicated processes because they surround all of the cells involved with spermatogenesis.
Through the occluding junctional complexes of the Sertoli's cells a "blood/testicle" barrier is created in the tubule. This means that outside this barrier, in the tubular periphery, cells, substances and hormones from the blood have unhindered access.
On the other hand, the inner compartment of the tubule is protected by the barrier, which is selectively permeable and serves as an entry check. This is of practical importance because haploid cells in the inner part of the tubule exhibit surface antigenic properties, different from all other body cells. They must thus be kept secluded from the immune system of the organism by the "blood/testicle" barrier.
More about the functions the Sertoli's cells perform in the germinal epithelium.


A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked the Trump administration's Muslim Ban 2.0. Here were some of the top-performing social media posts celebrating the win.
What can we learn from the posts?
They clearly frame the judicial order as a win – and they own the win.
They draw attention to highlights of the ruling, not just pointing people to a PDF of it.
Some provide real-time reactions from the people involved in the legal fight (like the second ACLU Facebook post).
They point to other Twitter users sharing important insights (like the NYCLU tweet, first Just Security tweet, and second ACLU tweet).
They indicate that the fight isn't over. I love the Just Security tweet telling people not to go to bed yet.
And, of course, most of them have visual elements, especially on Facebook. This optimizes content for Facebook's algorithm and helps capture users' attention on their News Feeds.
Note: To do this research, we used CrowdTangle, one of our favorite *now FREE* tools.

Igali excited with wrestlers' performance in Rome
Odunayo Adekuoroye
World wrestling bronze medalist, Odunayo Adekuoroye is saddened by the 'total neglect' other sports, especially wrestling, have suffered in the hands of Nigeria's corporate bodies, which support only football to the detriment of other sports.
Adekuoroye, a two-time World Wrestling Championship bronze medalist, told The Guardian yesterday that while football has enjoyed a great deal of support from the private sector, the other sports have been left to their own fate.
"I am yet to receive any accolade for my feat after winning a bronze medal at the World Wrestling Championship in Kazakhstan. With the bronze medal, I have qualified for the Olympics in Japan. What remains for me is to compete at different championships in readiness for the Olympics. I need to compete again with my conqueror in Kazakhstan at other championships to be able to stand a good chance of a medal.
"I need to compete well at different championships, but the private sector has not been forthcoming to assist us to be at these events.
"I think the government cannot do it all alone, just as they have been helping the game of football," she said, adding that she wouldn't blame the athletes, who are either planning or have abandoned the country to be citizens of other countries.
"At the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, a Nigerian, formerly Ebelechukwu Agbapuonwu, now Salwa Eid Naser, won a gold medal for her new country, Bahrain. She didn't only win gold, but she also ran 48.14 seconds, the third fastest time in the history of the women's race in 400 metres.
"If she had remained a Nigerian, I doubt if she would have won a medal at the recent Africa Games in Morocco. This is what we are talking about and nobody seems to care.
"The Wrestling Federation president has done his own part but we have left completely on our own by the private bodies.
"Recently, I saw 2Baba in a billboard in Lagos wearing wrestlers' singlet to advertise a bottled water. Why should that be? We have Aliko Dangote, who produces cement, so you ask yourself why can't he use weightlifters, who are champions to advertise cement to indicate how strong his cement is. But we always get it wrong in this country and I am sad about it."
"Is it after we achieved success that the so called private bodies would come around like bees to start making pledges? Footballers are promised $20,000 each before each tournament despite wonderful treatment from the corporate bodies. It is high time we looked into these before we start looking elsewhere for greener pastures," she said.

Blog Post 3: Mind if I Take Your Picture?
For my photography project, I decided to take a trip down to Fort Collins. I think Fort Collins, in a lot of ways, is a bit more visually interesting than Laramie, and I just needed to take a trip, you know?
Anyway, while I was there, I took a lot of pictures. Here are a few of them.
The press box at City Park Field. The amateur summer team, the Fort Collins Foxes, and the CSU baseball team share the field.
Last summer, I had an internship with the Foxes, so I spent a lot of time at City Park Field there. It was a pretty fun internship; I got to know a lot of the players and some of the fans there, too. I worked up in the press box, pictured above. I got really familiar with that box, which couldn't have got any hotter in the summer if it tried.
Some of the creative devices I used were the rule of thirds and color. The box is mostly in the right third of the picture and the green and gold pops against the white and black that makes up most of the picture.
It was nice getting a chance to go back to the park again. It felt a little awkward walking around, since there were some people around. I wondered a lot if they thought I was a creep or a drug dealer or something. They probably didn't care.
The Wrecks opened for New Politics at the Ogden Theater in Denver, CO.
I've never been a big concert guy. I don't know why. I love music, but concerts have never appealed to me. Now, my favorite band is The Wrecks. My best friend, Zach, his favorite band is New Politics, who were touring with The Wrecks and were stopping in Denver. He texted me like three days before the concert and asked if I wanted to go. It was a huge step outside my comfort zone. It was super loud, packed, someone spilled beer on my shoe, but it was an incredible experience.
The main creative devices I used were the rule of thirds and color. Maybe a bit of leading lines. The light from the spotlights all converges on the lead singer, who's in the bottom right third of the picture. I think this would be a feature picture.
A couple goes skiing in City Park in Fort Collins.
Bean Cycle Roasters in Old Town is a peaceful refuge from the wind and snow outside.
When I went to Fort Collins, it was pretty cold. It was practically a blizzard by the time I left, which was fun to drive back in. I got stuck behind a guy with a California license plate who'd probably never driven in snow before.
Anyway, I chose to focus on the weather for my juxtaposition, since it's either the perfect time to go out and have fun, or stay inside and be warm. When I was walking around City Park, I saw this couple skiing around in circles. They were cool with me taking their picture, but I never caught their names.
Meanwhile, others were huddling around coffee mugs in the warm indoors. I went to Bean Cycle Roasters off College in Old Town. I got a chai tea. I forgot I didn't like chai tea. There were a lot of people in there, people my age using the space to work on projects or whatever, people there to just hang out and stay somewhere warm.
In the first picture, I went mostly for the rule of thirds. In the second, I tried to get a different perspective. I took a lot of pictures from the main level before I went up to the second floor. I like it up there, since it gave me a different idea of everyone that was there.
This was a little challenging for me, personally. I've never been a fan of taking pictures of people. Landscapes and objects are better because you can position them exactly how you want and you have a lot bigger window to get your shot. With people, you might have this idea in your head and the best time to make that happen might come and go in an instant.
One of the most important aspects of choosing a new university, whether we think about it or not, is housing. What are the dorms like? How big are they? Will I have a roommate? Will my roommate be cool? What if they're not?
All of these are questions that run through a soon-to-be college freshman's head at some point. And with all the benefits that the University of Wyoming has for students, they've been lagging behind when it comes to housing benefits.
"You look at universities around our region, like Colorado State, the thing that people are looking for nowadays is more apartment-style or suite-style rooms," says UW's executive director of residence life and dining services Eric Webb.
Apartment- and suite-style rooms are a specific type of residence room with 2-4 people. Each of those people have their own room with a connected bathroom and sometimes a kitchen.
The University of Wyoming has two on-campus housing options: the Washakie halls and the UW apartments. And the Washakie halls could be getting an upgrade in the next few years.
Let's go back to our example of Colorado State. Strictly speaking about the residence halls, they have 12 options to offer to incoming students, with everything from your typical dorm room to a suite-style single with a private bathroom. Wyoming, by comparison, has just four.
That's the big thing that the RLDS office is looking at. The world of university housing has been moving forward, and UW has been left behind.
In an effort to keep up with the times, UW Residence Life submitted a ten-year proposal to the board of trustees to potentially build new halls on-campus.
One of the big obstacles that Residence Life has to overcome is the budget crisis.
The first step of the proposal was to close Hill and Crane Halls. Crane had been home to the English department the year before while Hoyt Hall was being remodeled. That step has been completed, but not without a couple unforeseen complications.
The second step of the plan was to tear down Hill, Crane, and the conjoined dining center, but the budget crisis put a brief pause in the plan.
It's not the end of the world for the plan, just a little bump in the road.
Why do better dorms even matter?
Residence halls are a major, but hidden, factor when prospective students are picking out their new university. The halls are often one of the first things future students see and the thing that they remember most. It sounds cheesy, but the residence halls are almost like the gatekeepers of the university.
The University of Hawaii-Manoa, for example, has a very open floor plan in their halls. It allows for the residents to feel a little bit more like they're in Hawaii. Those working at the University of Wyoming don't want the first impression on students and parents to be cramped, unaccommodating rooms.
The bottom line is that the university wants to increase enrollment, along with making living in the halls easier for residents.
Blog Post One: What Do I Want?
I'm honestly really excited to take this class. A lot of the things that we're going to be going over and learning are skills that I'm going to need directly in the professional world, like photography and video and audio. Those are all skills that I haven't really worked on or learned, and I really should get a handle on those. Being on the social media side of things, all of those skills are gonna be incredibly important. Everything from in-game graphics, posts, etc., hinge on one of those three things.
Not gonna lie, I'm very, very excited for the live tweet assignment. Not only is that literally what I want to do for a living, I also happen to spend way to much time on Twitter. When I first signed up for Twitter, I told myself that I wasn't going to tweet too much and I wasn't going to live tweet anything. 20,629 tweets and a whole lot of live tweeting later, I think it's safe to say I've broken that promise.
In fact, I can tell you exactly what I'll do for that assignment right now. It'll be a Rockies game, one of the ones against the Padres or Nationals. Or maybe the one that Sunday against the Braves, since there's a solid chance I'm gonna be at that game anyway. It's Opening Weekend and they're giving away a bobblehead; how can I not go?
Anyway, I'm really excited for everything this class is going to offer me. I think it's one of the only classes I've taken in a while that has honest-to-god impact on what I want to do.
As for what I want to report on and talk about, I'm not entirely sure. I want to take a sports angle, maybe something with UW athletics? The MLB is going through a weird period right now where no free agents are getting signed, and there might be a strike once the current collective bargaining agreement is up. We'll see where this whole thing takes us.

Postdoctoral Associate: Starkville, MS
Starkville, MS
https://explore.msujobs.msstate.edu/cw/en-us/job/505096/postdoctoral-associate
The Post-Doctoral Associate will work closely with Mississippi State University co-investigators, and scientists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Southeast Blueprint user support team to develop a set of stochastic scenario models that will allow for rapid assessment of conservation action via the Action Impact Tool. The successful candidate will compile baseline biological information on species and system response to conservation action (e.g., protection, restoration), and develop a set of iterative stochastic models that reflect uncertainty in response to such action. The successful candidate will also work closely with conservation GIS developers to incorporate the stochastic models into the web-based Action Impact Tool platform. The candidate will have the opportunity to engage with a large group of scientists in federal conservation agencies, particularly the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other key conservation partners. The candidate will also have a leadership role in the Quantitative Ecology and Spatial Technologies Lab at Mississippi State University and have the opportunity to engage with researchers at MSU's Geosystems Research Institute. The candidate will be required to publish minimally 2 peer-reviewed publications from this work. This project extends the scenario planning capabilities of the web-based Southeast Blueprint Action Impact Tool (AIT). The Southeast Blueprint is a regional conservation planning tool that identifies the network of lands and waters in the Southeastern United States that are most important for ecosystem sustainability into the future. The AIT is a spatially explicit, web-based scenario planning and decision support tool that allows users to assess current and future health, function, and connectivity of priority ecosystems in project areas of interest, with particular interest in areas prioritized under the Southeast Blueprint. The AIT allows for planners to predict outcomes of conservation action in potential project areas to inform and improve return on investment in conservation decision making and ultimately to help meet ecosystem targets of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy. In the second phase of the AIT project, we will incorporate stochastic models that allow for uncertainty in management outcomes to help optimize and target delivery of conservation actions within areas of interest from landscape to ecoregional scales. The 1-year term limited position will be funded from 2 January 2023 (or as negotiated) through 31 December 2023. Salary will be $55,000 per year, including a full benefits package, with the possibility of extension pending acquisition of additional extramural funding.

The Wally 100 Tango at 13:19 this afternoon took line honours in the 66th edition of the Rolex Giraglia with a real-time of 23h48m55s.
Thanks to the tactical talent of a French-led crew, with Marc Pajot and Thierry Peponnet taking turns at the helm of the black Maxi. It's still difficult to get an idea of the classification in compensated time with the fleet still very stretched out between Corsica and Genoa.
'I think it's a race that will last about 24 hours' Thierry Peponnet, the French champion and tactician of the Wally 100 Tango had said before the race, and his estimate was barely 12 minutes out. But he certainly hadn't expected to win with an overall time of 23h48m55s and a pretty demanding race.
'I'm not a great fan of offshore races, said Marc Pajot, a veteran of the America's Cup and helmsman on board the very fast Maxi designed by Mark Mills, 'but the Giraglia is always special. I've sailed a lot of them, but it's the first time I've won'.
Behind Tango, a sprint finish for Galateia in front of Magic Carpet who sail the race that sometimes brought to mind the three-way fight at the end of the Sergio Leone's The good, the bad and the ugly. They sailed the final miles in sight of each other, and the failing wind shuffled the pack, giving the final sprint to Tango.
The first three positions in real-time were a private affair among the three Wally 100s.
Currently the fleet is well stretched out over the 80 miles from the Giraglia to Genoa. Several yachts, especially the smaller ones, should round the rock tonight with most expected to arrive from early tomorrow morning.

How Venezuela Gained Independence From Spain
Nicholas R.
In our recent history lessons, we have been learning about U.S history and the interesting results behind it. As we learned about how the U.S conquered nearby land we researched how Spain had much of their land conquered during the 1800s. This story was written by Nicholas R. to gain more knowledge about countries that conquered Spain.
During 1522, Venezuela was colonized by Spain and stayed this way for about 3 centuries until revolution from Venezuela began, heavily pushing for their independence from Spain. Venezuela became colonized through expeditions led by Columbus and Alonso de Ojeda until they reached the coast of present-day Venezuela in 1498 and 1499, ultimately claiming the land for Spain and soon colonizing it for themselves. Eventually, people began to resent the Spanish rule, and by the 1800s, people were talking openly about freedom due to high taxes, limited opportunities, and mismanagement of the colony. This turmoil from Venezuela slowly grew to create more drive for the small nation to resent their rule.
This independence movement from Venezuela began from a group of Venezuelan natives boldly proclaiming their country an independent republic in 1797, however, their efforts failed, although leading the path for further independence to be sought. During this time and soon after, Venezuela was a leader in Latin America's Independence movement. Led by visionary radicals such as Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Miranda, Venezuela was the first of the South American Republics to formally break away from Spain. This monumental movement took place in 1811 and was an immense turning point for Venezuela. According to ThoughtCo, "Simón Bolívar, José Félix Ribas, and Francisco de Miranda pushed for unconditional independence, and on July 5, 1811, the congress approved it, making Venezuela the first South American nation to formally sever all ties with Spain." However, unfortunately for Venezuela, the decade or so that followed was extremely bloody, with unspeakable atrocities on both sides and several decisive battles. However, in the end, the nationalists prevailed, finally securing Venezuelan independence in 1821, which still stands today. In conclusion, after many years of fighting and seeking independence from Spain, Venezuela achieved its goals and ended their tyranny rule from Spain.

Top Tips to Present Cybersecurity to the Board
Cyberattacks can cost an organization its reputation, its customers and a great deal of money, making CEOs and board members more accountable. Yet, research shows that a high percentage of corporate boards are not actively involved in cybersecurity oversight. Nonetheless, Gartner estimates by 2021, 100% of large enterprises will be asked to report to their board of directors on cybersecurity and technology risk at least annually. When communicating your cybersecurity program to the board, it is important to translate technical, tactical details about cybersecurity into business terms: risks, opportunities and strategic implications. In order to justify the desired cybersecurity expense, you must clearly present the risks, the plan you will implement to protect the company's assets, and the rationale behind the cost.
1 CPE Credit
On this self-study program you will learn how to present cybersecurity to the board and get executive buy-in.

Interment will be in Long Lake Community Cemetery.
Judith Leanna Grell was born on May 15, 1951 to Martin and Agnes Thompson. She grew up in Rush City and graduated from Rush City High School. She was united in marriage to Gary Grell on June 24, 1972. They built their new home in 1973 west of Cambridge, where they raised their three children, Sheri, Galen, and Tania. After 30 years, they moved to Pine Village in Cambridge.

During retirement years, Judy enjoyed travelling with Gary. They toured many states with their camper, went on many cruises, enjoyed several camping trips with children, grandchildren, and friends. They also took a trip to Norway. Judy and Gary spent winters in New Port Richey, Florida for the past 14 years, where they met many snowbird friends.
Judy was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with family and was always available to make food, babysit, and was there for anyone whenever needed. She enjoyed sewing and has made several outfits, costumes, blankets, etc. She also loved quilting and was part of the quilting group through her church, Long Lake Lutheran.
Judy passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at the age of 68 years, 1 month and 3 days. She was preceded in death by her parents, Martin and Agnes Thompson, her brother, Donald Thompson, her nephew, Jason Grell and her niece, Julia Valley.

I recently switched to a different shift at my full time job, and I swore it would have been so much easier for me to have a life, and go on adventures, and be happy. Little did I know that at the same time I began my overnight position we would have a selfish staff member quit before their 2 weeks' notice was up, have another staff member drop from her full time status down to per diem, and have staff members taking very long vacations. Needless to say, I've been working more hours than I've slept every weekend since starting this position, and I cherish my one day off a week.
When I go on Instagram, I get kind of sad when I see everyone's adventure posts; the waterfalls, the mountain tops, the animals. It's not easy to not be sad because where I live isn't near any amazing hikes. The hikes I want to do the most involve getting in the car and driving an hour if not further. Now, that wouldn't be such a problem if my brand new car of not even a year didn't already have almost 30,000 miles on it due to my commute to work and school. It wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't working the insane amount of overtime that I am to save money instead of paying bills, and paying for my 2019 wedding. I get paid every two weeks, and typically once my day (or if I'm lucky days) off roll around, I try not to travel too far to save on gas and mileage on my car.
It's nowhere near easy for me to go from working an overnight shift immediately to an adventure, especially when I live an hour from my job (work is closer to hikes), and if I hike after work, I'm leaving my dog home by himself until my return. I struggle unbelievably to find the balance of enjoying my life, and working towards my goals. But you know what? When I look at people's Instagram posts, I have to remind myself of some things: most of these people don't work overnights, and some are even lucky enough to have weekends off; some of these people are lucky enough to live so much closer to incredible hikes than I am; these people have different lives than me.
This post is for all of the girls out there who can't find the time (or energy) for adventures. I know I'm not the only one out there with these struggles, and I want other girls to know that they are not alone!

EQUATORIAL GUINEA ABOLISHES DEATH PENALTY
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
20 September 2022 :
Equatorial Guinea has abolished the death penalty, state TV announced on 19 September 2022 citing a new law signed by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
Capital punishment was "totally abolished" in the oil-rich central African nation after the president signed a new penal code, shared on Twitter by the vice president.
The last official execution in the small country was carried out in 2014, according to Amnesty International, but international NGOs and the United Nations regularly accuse the regime of forced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture.
"I am writing in capitals to seal this unique moment: 'EQUATORIAL GUINEA HAS ABOLISHED THE DEATH PENALTY'," tweeted Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, one of the head of state's sons and viewed as his likely successor.
A journalist on state TV called the event "historic for our country" in a brief announcement at the end of a news programme.
The measure will come into force in the 90 days following its publication in the official state journal and was approved in advance by parliament, where all but one of the 100 MPs represent the ruling party.
President Obiang, 80, has spent more than 43 years in power, a world record when excluding monarchies.
Equatorial Guinea possesses significant oil and gas resources, but the vast majority of its 1.3 million inhabitants live below the poverty line, according to the World Bank.

KSNW (channel 3) is a television station in Wichita, Kansas, United States, affiliated with NBC and Telemundo. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and maintains studios on North Main Street in northwest Wichita (near downtown); its transmitter is located in rural northwestern Sedgwick County (east-southeast of Colwich).

KSNW serves as the flagship of the Kansas State Network (KSN), a regional network of five stations (four full-power and one low-power) relaying NBC network programming and other shows provided by KSNW across central and western Kansas, as well as bordering counties in Nebraska and Oklahoma.

History
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1955, as KARD-TV. The station, owned by the Wichita Television Corporation was the fourth television station to sign on in the Wichita–Hutchinson market, after KAKE (channel 10)—which signed on in October 1954, KEDD (channel 16)—which signed on in August 1953, and KTVH (channel 12, now KWCH-DT)—which signed on in July 1953. It was initially an independent station, but joined NBC on May 1, 1956 when its former affiliate KEDD shut down. As a result, Wichita became one of the smallest U.S. cities to have three television stations that each maintain exclusive affiliations with one of the major networks.

In 1962, after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that central and western Kansas was part of the Wichita market, KARD was purchased by Central Kansas Television and was merged with its three other stations, KCKT (channel 2) in Great Bend and its satellites KGLD (channel 11) in Garden City and KOMC-TV (channel 8) in Oberlin. The three stations, which were collectively branded as the "Tri-Circle Network," relayed NBC programming throughout central and western Kansas. The Tri-Circle Network changed its name to the "Kansas State Network," with KARD serving as the flagship of the new four-station regional network. During the 1960s and 1970s, KCKT relayed its programming on K18AA (channel 18) in Salina, which eventually became a Fox affiliate. The stations eventually expanded their signals to reach 75% of Kansas as well as portions of Nebraska; KSN now claims to reach half of all households with at least one television set in the state of Kansas.

The call letters of all four stations were changed on August 16, 1982 to help viewers think of the four stations as part of one large network. KARD changed its calls to KSNW, KCKT became KSNC, KGLD became KSNG and KOMC became KSNK (the KARD-TV call letters are now used by a Fox-affiliated television station in Monroe, Louisiana, which became a sister station to KSNW upon the Nexstar-Media General merger). In 1988, the KSN stations were acquired by SJL Broadcast Management. The stations were then sold to Lee Enterprises in 1995. Emmis Communications bought most of Lee Enterprises' television properties in 2000. Montecito Broadcast Group, a newly formed partnership between SJL and the private equity firm Blackstone Group, acquired the KSN stations from Emmis on January 27, 2006.

On July 24, 2007, Montecito announced the sale of its four stations (KSNW, KHON-TV in Honolulu, KOIN in Portland, Oregon, and KSNT in Topeka, as well as satellites of KSNW and KHON) to New Vision Television; the sale was finalized on November 1, 2007. In 2008, KSNW acquired low-power station K06LZ (channel 6, the former K18AA) in Salina, to serve as its repeater in central Kansas; that station was replaced in May of that year by a digital repeater, KSNL-LD.

On May 7, 2012, the LIN TV Corporation announced that it would acquire the New Vision Television station group, including KSNW and its four satellite stations, for $330.4 million and the assumption of $12 million in debt; the sale – which was approved by the FCC on October 2 and was completed 1½ weeks later on October 12 – marked a re-entry into Kansas for LIN, which briefly owned the licenses of KAKE and its satellites in 2000, before selling them to Benedek Broadcasting shortly after the purchase was finalized.

On March 21, 2014, Media General announced that it would purchase LIN Media and its stations, including KSNW, in a $1.6 billion merger – giving the station its sixth owner since 2000. Like the earlier acquisition of KSNW by LIN, this deal marked Media General's re-entry to the market, as it previously owned KWCH from 2000 to 2006. The merger was completed on December 19. On September 28, 2015, Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced it had offered to purchase Media General and its stations, including KSNW and its satellites. On January 27, 2016, Nexstar announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Media General. The acquisition of KSNW and its satellites by Nexstar reunited the stations with former satellite KSNF, whose ownership was split from the rest of the Kansas State Network in 1986. The deal was approved by the FCC on January 11, 2017, and it was completed on January 17, marking Nexstar's first entry into the Wichita market.

Programming
KSNW broadcasts the entire NBC schedule, with the exception of program preemptions for breaking news or local severe weather coverage. Syndicated programs currently broadcast by KSNW include Live with Kelly and Ryan, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune.

News operation
KSNW presently broadcasts 31 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with five hours each weekday, and three hours each on Saturdays and Sundays). Despite being the first television station in the market to build a network of semi-satellites in the western and central parts of the state, KSNW's newscasts had lagged far behind rivals KWCH and KAKE for several decades. In recent years, however, KSNW has waged a spirited battle with KAKE for second place behind long-dominant KWCH, with the two stations regularly trading the runner-up slot in several timeslots.

Although the three KSN satellites originated their own newscasts for many years, their local operations were progressively cut back from the mid-1980s onward. By the start of the 21st century, local news programming on the other Kansas State Network stations had been reduced to inserts shown during KSNW's newscasts, and separate station identifications had largely been eliminated.

On April 26, 1991, as an F2 tornado approached their vehicle, a KSNW news crew took shelter underneath an overpass in Butler County. Video of the event that was captured by a station photographer accompanying reporters Ted Lewis and Gregg Jarrett resulted in public misunderstanding that overpasses provided adequate shelter from tornadoes as it did not take a direct hit from the tornado, experiencing only strong outer winds; the National Weather Service now strongly advises against sheltering under overpasses due to the likelihood of fatalities caused by flying debris, dangers from wind channeling, changes in wind direction and wind speed increases above ground level as the vortex passes, and the lack of girders on most overpasses. The station received national headlines again on May 19, 2013, when then-chief meteorologist Dave Freeman ordered the KSNW staff to take shelter as an EF2 tornado approached the southern portions of Wichita, out of concern that it would also hit the station's downtown studios.

On September 29, 1997, KSNW began producing a half-hour prime time newscast at 9:00 p.m. for Fox affiliate KSAS-TV (channel 24), as part of a news share agreement in which channel 3 would also produce news updates to air during KSAS's evening programs. The program was cancelled on December 31, 1998 due to low ratings. In January 2009, KSNW acquired regional cable news channel Kansas Now 22, which is carried locally on Cox Communications, from Gray Television (owners of KAKE, and WIBW-TV in Topeka) to produce its own news and weather content for the channel and provide rebroadcasts of its local newscasts.

On October 31, 2010, KSNW began broadcasting its local newscasts in widescreen standard definition; in-studio, field and other station camera feeds were upconverted to a 16:9 format in the control room. On January 30, 2011, KSNW began broadcasting the weather segments of its newscasts in high definition, with the remaining in-studio segments following suit on July 17 (when KAKE upgraded its newscasts from 4:3 standard definition to 16:9 high definition), becoming the third television station in the Wichita–Hutchinson market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition; video from the field remained in widescreen standard definition. In June 2011, KSNW underwent major staff changes for its 10:00 p.m. newscast with the shifts of weekend anchors Brooke Martin and Jamison Coyle and meteorologist J.D. Rudd (all of whom have since left the station) to the weeknight broadcasts, citing higher ratings for with that team on weekends than on the weeknight newscasts. Upon the shakeup, longtime sports director Jim Kobbe left KSNW; while chief meteorologist Dave Freeman moved from the 10:00 p.m. newscast to the 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. broadcasts (Freeman added the 10:00 p.m. newscast back to his duties for several years before his retirement from the station in 2017).

KSNW re-assumed production responsibilities for KSAS's newscast on January 2, 2012, after KWCH (which had produced the current 9:00 p.m. newscast since 2003) ended its news share agreement with channel 24 to focus on its newscasts for CW-affiliated sister station KSCW-DT (channel 33). The KSAS newscast is produced out of KSNW's main news set, which features separate duratrans for the channel 24 broadcast. On January 27, 2014, KSNW upgraded its field and other non-studio cameras to HD; with the upgrade, came the introduction of a new HD-ready news set and graphics package.

Technical information

Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
KSNW shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 3, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 45. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 3.

Kansas State Network
KSNW operates a network of four full-power stations and one low-power station covering central and western Kansas, branded as the Kansas State Network. These stations air virtually the exact programming as KSNW, apart from local news inserts and advertisements targeted to their respective viewing area. Nielsen Media Research treats KSNW and its semi-satellites as one station in local ratings books, using the identifier name KSNW+.

Current semi-satellites

KSNC and KSNK shut down their analog signals on VHF channels 2 and 8 on June 12, 2009, with KSNC broadcasting its digital signal on UHF channel 22 and KSNK broadcasting its digital signal on VHF channel 12, using their former respective analog channel assignments as their virtual channels using PSIP.

Former semi-satellites
Both KSNT and KSNF provided limited simulcasts of KSNW's programming from 1982 until SJL Communications purchased the station from George Hatch in 1988, when it dismantled part of the microwave system that allowed KSNF and KSNT access to KSNW's programming in a cost-cutting measure. As a result, both stations are the only ones to have been part of the Kansas State Network in some capacity to maintain their own separate programming and news departments to this day.
