Admiral Charles Donald Griffin (January 12, 1906 – June 26, 1996) was a four-star admiral in the United States Navy who served as commander in chief of United States Naval Forces Europe from 1963 to 1965 and as commander in chief of Allied Forces Southern Europe from 1965 to 1968.

Early career
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Joseph Richard Griffin and the former Maude Spicknall, Griffin moved to Washington, D.C. as a child, where he graduated from Central High School in 1923. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland in 1927 and was commissioned an ensign in the United States Navy.

After initial duty in battleships and destroyers from 1927 to 1930, Griffin underwent flight training and was designated a naval aviator in 1930. During the 1930s, he served in an air patrol squadron and as a scouting pilot aboard the heavy cruiser , and studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan, where he received a master's degree in 1937. From 1937 to 1940, he was attached to Scouting Squadron Six aboard the aircraft carrier , then was a flight test officer at Naval Air Station Anacostia from 1940 to 1942.

World War II
During World War II, Griffin was commander of Carrier Air Group 9 aboard the aircraft carrier  from 1942 to 1943, participating in air raids on Marcus Island, Wake Island, the Marshall Islands, and Rabaul, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. In 1943, he became operations officer for Task Force 58 in the Pacific. He was detached in 1944 to plan operations in the Pacific theater as a member of the Joint War Plans Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

After the war, Griffin was commanding officer of the escort carrier  from 1945 to 1946, making two transatlantic trips to ferry troops home from France as part of Operation Magic Carpet, then served as operations officer aboard the aircraft carrier . He was plans officer for the United States Atlantic Fleet from 1946 to 1947.

Revolt of the Admirals
Griffin played a key role in the Revolt of the Admirals, an incident of civil-military conflict over the long-term funding priorities of the armed services.

In September 1948, as a captain, Griffin received sudden orders to report to the Strategic Plans Division (OP-30) in the Department of the Navy as officer in charge of special projects.

In October 1949, Griffin was directed to prepare a position paper on the controversy for Chief of Naval Operations Louis E. Denfeld to present in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. After placing the completed draft on Denfeld's desk, Griffin visited Denfeld's office every day to solicit feedback, but "it became quite apparent to me that Admiral Denfeld was not going to take any fast action on this because he, himself, was feeling his way along."

Finally, the day before Denfeld was scheduled to testify, Griffin received a call at 7 a.m. to appear at Denfeld's office at 8 a.m., where Griffin and three others were assigned to compose Denfeld's statement. Using Griffin's paper as a rough draft, the four men worked all day long, eating lunch and dinner in Denfeld's office.

Matthews relieved Denfeld as Chief of Naval Operations after hearing Denfeld's testimony, which contradicted the official positions of the civilian Defense Department leadership. Other navy officers who participated in the controversy also saw their careers stalled or ended, but Griffin emerged unscathed. "The other people involved in it didn't all get hurt. I didn't get hurt and it was well known, I think, that I had a lot to do with writing that statement."

Korean War
Griffin completed his tour in the Strategic Plans Division in 1950 and became a student at the National War College, from which he graduated in 1951. He served as plans officer for Commander Air Forces, United States Pacific Fleet from 1951 to 1953. He was commanding officer of the attack carrier  from June 1953 to July 1954, operating with the Seventh Fleet to monitor the recent Armistice in Korea.

Flag officer
Promoted to rear admiral, Griffin was appointed the first director of the Long-Range Objectives Group (OP-93) when the group was established in February 1955, then served as special assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1955 to 1956, commanded Carrier Division 4 from 1957 to 1958, and was director of the Strategic Plans Division from 1959 to 1960.

Commander, Seventh Fleet
Griffin commanded the United States Seventh Fleet from March 7, 1960, to October 28, 1961. With 125 warships and 500 aircraft, the Seventh Fleet constituted the world's most powerful peacetime naval force, and its role was to concentrate so much United States naval and air power in the Pacific as to reduce the likelihood of war. Asked whether the Seventh Fleet had enough power for this purpose, Griffin admitted, "I've never seen a military commander say he had everything he wanted. It is just not the nature of the beast."

In 1960, after rioting in Japan forced the unexpected collapse of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's planned visit to Tokyo, the President sailed to Taiwan aboard the heavy cruiser  along a course that took him within  of the potentially hostile Chinese mainland, escorted by a Seventh Fleet protective force that included 100 planes, the aircraft carriers  and  and four destroyers. Griffin reassured newsmen that there was no indication of any unusual activity on the part of the Chinese Communists, but added that the motto of the Fleet was readiness and in the event of any threat the Fleet was ready to strike; in particular, should any submarine make any hostile move against the President and his escort force, he would do his best to destroy it. "The first thing I would do would be to get the St. Paul out of here as fast as possible."

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy moved the carriers of Griffin's Task Force 77 into the South China Sea, where Griffin conducted naval exercises in response to the escalating crisis in Laos.

Deputy Chief of Naval Operations
Griffin was a leading candidate to succeed Chief of Naval Operations Arleigh Burke in 1961. Burke ranked Griffin high on a list of forty admirals that Burke submitted to Secretary of the Navy John B. Connally Jr. as eligible successors, and Newsweek rated Griffin's odds of succeeding Burke at 4 to 1. Burke was succeeded by Admiral George W. Anderson Jr. and Griffin became Anderson's deputy for fleet operations and readiness.

As deputy chief of naval operations for fleet operations and readiness from 1962 to 1963, Griffin supervised an influential navy study that reversed the navy's previous stance on its nuclear propulsion program by accepting the view of Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover and the Atomic Energy Commission that nuclear power was not prohibitively expensive, and calling for the use of nuclear propulsion in all major surface ships, not just in submarines.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Griffin was one of three senior officers assigned by Anderson to monitor the navy's involvement in the crisis around the clock, and to act in Anderson's absence: "first, to make sure that the President and the Secretary of Defense were informed... and secondly, to prevent any civilian encroachments on military operations."

In 1963, Griffin was a candidate to succeed Admiral Robert L. Dennison as the four-star commander in chief of the Atlantic Fleet, under a proposal that would split that command from the unified Atlantic Command, which would go to Admiral Harold Page Smith. Although the Atlantic Fleet and Atlantic Command ultimately remained dual-hatted under Smith, Griffin gained his fourth star anyway when he was appointed commander in chief of United States Naval Forces Europe later that year.

Commander in Chief, United States Naval Forces Europe
In June 1963, Griffin was advanced to the rank of full admiral when he succeeded Admiral David L. McDonald as the triple-hatted Commander in Chief, United States Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR), Commander in Chief, United States Naval Forces, Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (CINCNELM), and United States Commander Eastern Atlantic (USCOMEASTLANT). He relinquished one of these hats when CINCNELM was disestablished on December 1, 1963. He was relieved by Admiral John S. Thach in March 1965.

Commander in Chief, Allied Forces Southern Europe

Griffin was Commander in Chief Allied Forces Southern Europe (CINCSOUTH) from March 31, 1965 to January 31, 1968, succeeding Admiral James S. Russell. As commander of all NATO forces in southern Europe, Griffin directed the land, sea and air forces deployed in the Mediterranean area by five nations: Italy, Greece, Turkey, Britain, and the United States.

While CINCSOUTH, Griffin frequently warned that Soviet efforts to undermine the Western position in the Middle East had "all the earmarks of a concerted effort to alter the strategic balance" as part of a broader campaign with the ultimate target of Europe. "While the Arab world is a rich prize in itself, Europe has been and remains the primary objective. A strong Soviet power position in the Mediterranean, supported by a string of client states along its southern shore, would give the Russians not only control of key resources essential to the European economy, but positions from which to menace the flow of shipping on which that economy's survival depends." However, Griffin's superiors in Washington remained convinced that the Soviet Union was not interested in a direct confrontation with American power.

Upon reaching the statutory retirement age, Griffin was relieved as CINCSOUTH by Admiral Horacio Rivero Jr. and retired from the navy effective February 1, 1968. At his retirement ceremony at his headquarters in Naples, Italy on January 31, 1968, Griffin asserted that the relatively peaceful Soviet posture in central Europe was a tactical move to cover a thrust of naval forces into the Mediterranean, and complained that France's recent withdrawal from NATO was tantamount to freeriding off the contributions of allies who met their treaty obligations.

Personal life

Griffin married Camilla Yvonne Ganteaume on September 14, 1935; after her death at the age of 49 on August 10, 1963, he remarried to Marion Hopkins Schaefer on November 21, 1964. He and his first wife had two children: Linda Louise Griffin, and navy officer Charles Donald Griffin Jr.

After retiring from the navy, Griffin resided in Washington D.C., where he was a vestryman at St. Alban's Episcopal Church and a member of the Army and Navy Club and the Chevy Chase Club. He died of a heart attack at the age of 90 while playing golf at his summer residence, Bald Peak Colony Club, in Melvin Village, New Hampshire.

Awards and honors

Griffin held the Gray Eagle Award as the senior active-duty aviator in the Navy from July 31, 1967, until his retirement on February 1, 1968.

Griffin is grandfather to Charles Donald Griffin III and Maria Griffin LeStage, and Donald Griffin Collins and Constance Yvonne ("Sam") Collins Nickell; and great-grandfather to Elizabeth Garner LeStage, Charles Richard Griffin LeStage, Cora Abigail Griffin, Xyacery Bryant, Donovan Collins, Kiley Collins, and Mackenzie Collins.

By the year 2040 the evolution of humanity will undergo a radical change with Artificial Intelligence
Mexico 2019 - NEORIS, a global digital services company, presented its report "Artificial Intelligence: Rethinking Human Evolution" that gathers the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and presents predictions about the technology that has revolutionized different areas and sectors of society.
Since the creation of AI in 1956, as "the machine that could think", society and companies have continued to evolve and change substantially thanks to this disruptive technology. Its cognitive mechanisms have transformed the way in which people and organizations interact, and have significantly transformed business and human capacities.
NEORIS 'Artificial Intelligence: Rethinking the Evolution of Humanity' report looks at the impact AI is having on humanity and how human and synthetic intelligence merge. Furthermore, it explains how technology is influencing the global superpowers that drive the main economic and social revolutions. It also describes the challenges of adopting AI, how it is replacing routine work, and what ethical concerns it raises.
"By 2040, the evolution of humanity will undergo a radical change triggered by AI, where its future will be less artificial and more intelligent. Artificial Intelligence will inevitably reach the level of human intelligence or cause parity between human beings. Beyond all this, the impact of AI will be more noticeable, in the coming decades and in most industries, in the way companies do business, "says Anthony DeLima, Head of Digital Transformation and Chief Financial Officer of NEORIS.
Superintelligence that transforms business
"Artificial Intelligence: Rethinking the Evolution of Humanity" concludes that Artificial Intelligence has turned sectors as traditional as manufacturing into an interactive business model that allows customers to actively participate in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of products. . In the financial sector, the use of AI and blockchain opens doors to a new generation of personalized banking, accelerating the launch of new value chains and increasing revenue.
On the other hand, telecommunications networks benefit from AI solutions that learn to make decisions in complex scenarios through determined actions to enrich the customer experience.

Leberecht Maass, ou Maaß, né le  à Korkenhagen en Poméranie et mort au combat le , au large de Heligoland, est un haut officier de marine de la marine impériale allemande.

Biographie
C'est en 1883 que Maass entre comme cadet dans la marine impériale. Il est commandant de torpilleurs entre 1893 et 1895, commandant de flottille entre 1898 et 1901, et affecté au commandement des torpilleurs entre 1903 et 1906. Il est nommé directeur de l'école navale (Marineschule), d' à  et élevé au grade de capitaine de vaisseau, le . Il commande le croiseur SMS Freya d' à , le croiseur SMS Scharnhorst, de  à , et le navire de ligne SMS Weißenburg d'août à .

Maass est nommé commandant de la  division de chantier, en , poste qu'il occupe, jusqu'en , et de  à , il est troisième amiral des bateaux de reconnaissance (Aufklärungsschiffe), à bord du croiseur SMS Cöln. Il est élevé au grade de contre-amiral, le .

Maass devient amiral en second des bateaux de reconnaissance, le .

Première Guerre mondiale

Lorsque la guerre éclate, Maass est nommé premier chef (Führer) des bateaux de reconnaissance et du  groupe de reconnaissance (ou d'éclairage). Il navigue à bord de son navire-amiral, le SMS Cöln, au large de Schillig, du  au , et il prend part à des combats entre le 12 et le  en mer du Nord.

C'est alors qu'a lieu la terrible bataille de Heligoland. Elle commence le  au matin lorsque la Force Harwich (ainsi nommée par les Britanniques), commandée par Reginald Tyrwhitt et composée des croiseurs , et , ainsi que de 31 destroyers, attaque à l'ordre du vice-amiral Beatty les unités allemandes au large de Heligoland. Le torpilleur allemand SMS V 187 est coulé. Le vice-amiral Beatty vient pour couvrir à 25 miles au nord la Force Harwich, avec deux croiseurs de bataille, le HMS New Zealand et le HMS Invincible, et trois petits croiseurs. Les deux croiseurs allemands SMS Frauenlob et SMS Stettin viennent à l'encontre des navires anglais, bientôt suivis de quatre petits croiseurs sous les ordres du contre-amiral Maass qui est à bord du SMS Cöln. Le croiseur de Tyrwhitt est vite en difficulté et l' Arethusa est sérieusement endommagée par les tirs d'artillerie allemands. Le croiseur de bataille du vice-amiral Beatty vient au secours de Tyrwhitt vers 12 heures 40 et coule, en plus du SMS Mainz qui avait sombré auparavant, le SMS Cöln et le SMS Ariadne.

Microsoft has announced that it has added Kubernetes support to its Azure Container Service. The new development has expanded Azure with three major orchestration technologies, namely Windows Server Containers, Kubernetes and DC/OS — rivaling other public cloud platforms.
Kubernetes is one of the leading orchestrators in the world of containers. Though Google initially promoted the open source container cluster manager, companies like Baidu, Canonical and Intel recently added its support to grow with container applications. And now, it is Microsoft that has favoured Kubernetes for Azure.
Microsoft's Azure team launched the preview support for Kubernetes back in November last year. That preview launch has helped the Redmond company improve the support and ultimately brought its general availability.
"With today's news, we again deliver on our goal of providing our customers the choice of open source orchestrators and tooling that simplifies the deployment of container-based applications in the cloud," said Saurya Das, program manager II, Azure Linux.
The Kubernetes support on Azure Container Service comes weeks after Docker debuted on Microsoft's cloud platform. The newly formed combination would upgrade container management on Azure and give developers a reason to prefer Microsoft over Amazon and Google.
Alongside bringing the Kubernetes support, Microsoft has brought the preview of Windows Server Containers to provide enterprise customers an additional choice in orchestrator using Azure Container Service. The Azure team has also updated the existing DC/OS support to version 1.8.8 to deliver an improved experience.
You can deploy an Azure Container Service cluster using the Azure portal or Azure CLI 2.0 and experience Kubernetes or other orchestrators including Windows Server Containers or DC/OS.

For the remainder of our time in Mpumalanga, we opted for two more safaris – one on Elephant Back and another that took place from Sunset to night fall. All were so different and so unique.
So let's start with the Elephant Back. We were inside a sanctuary just outside of Kruger National Park. Super cool and safe. Our guide and told us the history of the park and surrounding areas and how many of the elephants are rescued from being poached from illegal poachers. After our safari our guide taught us more about elephants and the best ways to interact with them.
After our elephant safari, the owner of the lodge we stayed at was notified of a pride of lions that had a fresh buffalo kill nearby. We stayed for about 45 minutes and witnessed a few lions protect their fresh kill. The buffalo is towards the right behind the reeds with another lion guarding it. The other lion was defending their carcass from the crocodile.
Now for our Sunset and Night Safari. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that the nocturnal wildlife start to emerge as the sunsets. The guide was also able to get us deeper into the park and because everything felt so still, we were able to hear a lot more. We even heard a few lions roar into the darkness. Pretty cool – hella scary! The best part was experiencing an African sunset. REALLY NOTHING NO OTHER LIKE IT EVER!!!!
This lone lioness was about 10 feet from our jeep. Our guide was pretty experienced with lions so he was able to coax her to come closer to us for a stunning view.
The evening portion of the safari. The greatest part about it was seeing the different animals that come out and driving through complete darkness. We used the lights when we wanted to see animals when they were close by. Unpolluted skies seeing the Milky Way was awesome but we couldn't step out and set our tripods to take photos…well because you know – the lion might start roaring.
In the middle of the safari a heard of buffalo and rhinos were stampeding through our jeep. This was a small scuffle between the two fighting for territory.
Now we will leave it here with this stunner of an African Sunset. Amazing, right?!

Australian Museum partners with Westpac and NSW Government to transform Australia's first gallery for a new era
The Australian Museum (AM) today announced an historic partnership with Westpac, and the NSW Government to restore the nation's first museum gallery, and to showcase its 200 most significant treasures, including two artefacts from Westpac's and the NSW Government's collections.
The $9 million project is jointly funded by Westpac, the NSW Government and the AM's own philanthropic efforts, and will see the current Long Gallery become the Westpac Long Gallery in 2017, to mark the AM's 190th year and Westpac's 200th anniversary.
Australia's first bank note was presented to the Australian Museum today on extended loan from Westpac, as part of the new initiative. The note was issued on the day the Bank of New South Wales (now Westpac) first opened in April 1817.
The Maitland Gold Nugget, the only surviving example of a large gold nugget from the early mining years of NSW, is also on extended loan from the NSW Government to the Australian Museum.
"This type of collaboration demonstrates the State Government's commitment to developing sustainable and innovative models of investment in our cultural institutions," Premier Mike Baird said.
"The Westpac Long Gallery will be the perfect home to honour our nation's most significant treasures and their stories."
Brian Hartzer, Westpac Chief Executive Officer, said the partnership and restoration of the Long Gallery was an opportunity to share many facets of Australia's rich history.
"A partnership between Australia's first bank and first museum is a natural fit. Together, we are creating a new space to showcase Australia's rich educational, scientific and cultural heritage for many generations to come."
"We are delighted to be handing over Australia's first bank note to the Westpac Long Gallery."
The AM's Executive Director and CEO, Kim McKay AO, said the historic partnership had contributed renewed vision to Australia's first museum, with the Westpac Long Gallery set to become the 'must see' gallery in Australia.
"The incredible stories of the most significant treasures from the Australian Museum's collection of 18 million objects will be made available for current and future generations to discover the history of our nation and our region," she said.
"The Long Gallery is itself a treasure, having an uninterrupted history as a display gallery since 1857, and the announcement of its restoration marks the start of stage two of the transformation of Australia's first museum."
Heritage restoration of the Long Gallery is slated to begin in mid 2016 and it will be completed during Westpac's bicentenary in 2017. To enable the exhibition of the 200 treasures, the Australian Museum is offering donors the opportunity to support each of the priceless objects. Pledges have already been received for 23 of the treasures.
The treasures already supported include a rare and beautiful Kalani'opu'u cape collected by Captain Cook on his third and final voyage, while those yet to be pledged include the complete specimen of a thylacine pup, an object of immense scientific value for it's intact DNA.
The Australian Museum recently completed stage one of its renewal with the opening of the new Crystal Hall entrance on William Street and a new permanent exhibition Wild Planet, along with three other new galleries.

Relatives of a 73-year-old gilets jaunes demonstrator who was injured in a police charge are to file a complaint, the family's lawyer has said.
Genevieve Legay, described as 'someone who fights for peace' by her daughter, was hospitalised after the incident in Nice's Garibaldi Square during a gilets jaunes' protest on Saturday.
CCTV footage from the square has been collected.
Both local prosecutors and France's justice minister have pointed out that protests in some parts of the city centre - including the square in which the incident occurred - had been banned due to a high-level international talks between President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping.
Ms Legay's daughter later said that her mother had suffered several skull fractures and 'subdural haematomas'.
The 73-year-old is an activist with the social justice campaign group Attac. The group has published a message on its website calling for an inquiry to establish who was responsible for her injuries.
The organisation has called for a rally in Garibaldi Square on Monday, March 25 at 6pm.
Attac 06 et de nombreuses organisations appellent à un rassemblement pacifique en soutien à notre amie Geneviève Legay.
She is described as being 'in a serious state', according to her lawyer. But reports that she was in a coma have been dismissed. " She is not in intensive care but hospitalised in the post-emergency department for surveillance. Her daughters are with her and her family has all the information about her health," a doctor at the hospital told Nice Matin on Sunday.
"What worries us is that the prefect has given the hospital extremely firm instructions not to communicate outside, including with the family, who have great difficulty in obtaining information," the lawyer said.
Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre said they were doing everything they could to find out what happened. But, he said: "When you stay in a protest after the regulatory (police) warning that people have to disperse, it's a crime."
"We have no right to forbid pacifist people to gather and show their discontent," Ms Legay's daughter told France Bleu Azure.
