PS4 Pro Leaks Reportedly Forced Microsoft's Hand With Project Scorpio Unveiling
Michael BriersTuesday, November 08, 2016
Prior to E3 2016, the string of PS4 Pro leaks prompted Microsoft into unveiling the Project Scorpio, despite having only shown it behind closed doors to a handful of developers.
That's according to a new report from Windows Central, claiming that the general buzz surrounding Sony's Pro system — then known as PlayStation Neo — forced Microsoft's hand, in many ways. Further in the piece, the outlet then goes on to suggest Scorpio will run UWP (Universal Windows Platform) games available today in native 4K, with Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 among the prime candidates.
As part of its mission to brings its platforms closer together, it's said that developers need only make some "trivial" changes so that a UWP game is compatible with Scorpio. Development kits, meanwhile, are being designed as a "one-stop shop" for devs, who will be able to test their game across different configurations.
Elsewhere, a separate report from GamesBeat reveals that Microsoft spent big during the month of October, dumping $39.9 million across 16 commercials in anticipation of the PS4 Pro launch. Sony, by contrast, spent an estimated $12.1 million across 11 commercials.
Will this have much of a bearing on the PS4 Pro's November 10 launch? For our verdict on Sony's mid-gen hardware upgrade, have a gander at our review.

The future of Vandenberg Air Force Base, particularly as it relates to the commercial space launch industry, is at a "critical crossroads," according to one of the installation's top officials, who is hopeful that the federal government and the civilian community will help the base reach what he sees as its full potential.
Col. Michael S. Hough, commander of the 30th Space Wing at VAFB, shared his concerns during a conversation Wednesday in his on-base office.
Col. Michael S. Hough, commander of the 30th Space Wing at VAFB, shared his concerns during a conversation Wednesday in his on-base office. Hough cited the Budget Control Act of 2011, as well as the ensuing sequestration spending cuts that began in 2013, as the driving factors behind the base's inability to hire personnel and improve infrastructure to the level that he believes will be needed to fully embrace the commercial launch boom that he and others envision taking off in the near future.
The funding issue is paramount, Hough said.
The sequestration spending cuts not only significantly reduced the amount of funding allocated to the base, as well as the military overall, but the subsequent continuing resolutions passed by Congress each year since have also made things difficult, Hough said, because the money is provided in irregular increments.
This prevents base leaders from being able to plan for significant upgrades or major projects because they don't know exactly when they'll receive funding or how much they'll receive. Hough noted that, presently, funds are typically spent on "Band-Aid fixes" to things that should be getting a lot more attention.
He pointed to the Encelados fire that flared up on base Nov. 24 as an example of the base's dated infrastructure. That fire, which ultimately burned about 380 acres, was determined to have been caused by a downed power line.
"The corrosive atmosphere of this base is such that we need to be doing these constant updates and we just can't get ahead of it," Hough said.
With what he deems as proper funding, Hough noted that government civilian hiring could go up — about 1,200 government civilians work on base now, a drop of about 10 percent from a decade ago, according to VAFB public affairs — and the base could become a much stronger player in courting the burgeoning commercial launch industry.
In the past, VAFB relied on its location as its biggest selling point to launch providers. The base, historically, had been the only launch site in the U.S. that was capable of polar launches due to its ability to allow rockets to shoot off in a southern direction without flying over heavily populated areas.
That's no longer the case, however.
Hough noted that polar launches can now be conducted from Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral, both located on Florida's Atlantic coast, and that launch companies are beginning to build their own launch sites.
To help foster an environment that attracts the companies, Hough said he is hoping for community support.
One way community members can get involved is to press the funding issue with their representatives in government, particularly those in Congress. He said he'd also like to see concerted efforts from the state and other civilian organizations to celebrate and promote Vandenberg's connections to space travel, similar to the way the Space Coast is treated in Florida.
"I'm not saying the state doesn't do stuff for us," Hough said. "Don't get me wrong at all, they do. They do wonderful things … but again, I keep harping back to 'we're at a crossroads.' How do we want to be perceived by the commercial launch (industry)? Do we want to be perceived as welcoming or indifferent?
In a bit of fortunate timing, VAFB is closing in on a historic launch that should generate excitement among those who follow the space industry.
NASA is targeting May 2018 to launch its InSight Mission to Mars. That mission, which had initially been slated to take place in early 2016, will provide the first interplanetary launch from VAFB.

Davis Cup: Canada Loses to Britain After Umpire Is Hit in Eye With Ball (Video)
February 6, 2017 12:07 pm
Umpire Arnaud Gabas, of France, holds ice to his face after being hit in the eye by a ball during a Davis Cup tennis mach between Canada's Denis Shapovalov and Britain's Kyle Edmund Sunday in Ottawa, Ontario. Photo: Justin Tang / Associated Press
OTTAWA, Ontario — In a startling ending to a Davis Cup match, Canada lost to Britain on Sunday when a 17-year-old player, frustrated by missing an easy shot, suddenly launched a spare ball that hit the chair umpire in the left eye.
Britain advanced to the World Group quarterfinals with Kyle Edmund's 6-3, 6-4, 2-1 default victory over Denis Shapovalov in the decisive fifth match.
Shapovalov had just been broken by Edmund, hitting wide on a simple backhand, when he took a ball out of his pocket and wildly smacked it.
The ball struck umpire Arnaud Gabas of France in the face, and the contact resulted in an automatic default. Gabas put ice under his eye as swelling and bruising began and was taken to Ottawa General Hospital for a precautionary evaluation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yteWt9Fcigs
Shapovalov immediately came over to check on Gabas after the accident and appeared to be shaken, holding his head in a towel.
"Obviously this is unacceptable behavior from me," Shapovalov said. "I just feel awful for letting my team down, for letting my country down, for acting a way that I would never want to act."
"I can promise that's the last time I will do anything like that," he said.
The crowd of 7,497 at TD Place was stunned by the turn of events. Team Canada captain Martin Laurendeau had never dealt with a similar situation.
"He's not that kind of guy. It's just the beginning of his career, so he'll draw a big lesson out of this," Laurendeau said. "Curbing your emotions on the court is probably something that he'll need to make a living out of this sport. You can't compete if you don't have emotional control and this lesson can serve him for the rest of his career and the rest of his life."
The first-round victory moved Britain into a meeting with France in the quarters. Britain is assured a spot in the World Group next year while Canada must win a World Group playoff tie to keep its spot for 2018.
Vasek Pospisil defeated Britain's Daniel Evans 7-6 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5) earlier Sunday, tying the matchup at 2-all.
Pospisil said Shapovalov's action was out of character.
"No one is nicer or carries themselves better for a 17 y/o than Shapovalov. Everyone can see that today was an accident. Can happen to anyone," Pospisil tweeted.
Britain team captain Leon Smith called the turn of events "a shame."
"I feel sorry for Denis. He's gotten a harsh lesson," Smith said. "He'll learn, I'm sure. But firstly I hope the umpire's OK. That can be really dangerous."

Nobel Prize Spotlights Cosmic and Organic Asymmetries
Heads or tails have equal probabilities, so why
does nature sometimes prefer one over the other?
The Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2021 has been awarded to Benjamin List and David MacMillan for their discovery of organic catalysts that can more easily separate chiral molecules (Phys.org, New Scientist). Chirality refers to the "handedness" of many organic molecules that are mirror images of each other. Amino acids, for instance, come in so-called "left-handed" (L for levo) and right-handed (D for dextro) forms. In every way except geometry, these isomers are thermodynamically identical. All life, with few exceptions, has a uniform preference for left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars. This asymmetry has long been a great mystery; how did it arise, and how is it maintained? Adding to that mystery is another one, mentioned in Nature's write-up on the Nobel award:
In a range of phenomena and at vastly different scales, nature often seems to prefer one handedness over another, Felser adds. This is reflected in the fact that matter predominates over antimatter in the Universe, and that life uses left-handed amino acids and right-handed sugars.
Chirality showing the right- and left-handed isomers of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Human hands are perhaps the most universally recognized example of chirality. From Wikimedia Commons.
Why Asymmetry Matters
The asymmetry in biomolecules is functionally important. Without uniform L-amino acids, proteins would be unable to fold and function. Living cells have quality control systems to ensure that no wrong-handed building blocks get into the molecules needed for life. Another article on Phys.org says that the health disaster of birth defects from the use of thalidomide came about because the drug was a mixture of both hands; "it turned out that while one was effective, its mirror image counterpart was toxic."
In a vastly different but related sense, the matter vs antimatter asymmetry is functionally important. Equal amounts of both would lead to collisions that would annihilate all matter in random bursts of deadly energy. If no matter, then no stars, no planets, no life.
The Origin of Asymmetry
The importance of molecular asymmetry is well established, but its origin is a mystery to believers in chemical evolution. Life needs single-handed building blocks, but unguided nature could not have provided them. Any naturally-produced building blocks would have been 50/50 blends of both hands, or racemic mixtures. Even if one could imagine a pure one-handed starting pool, they would racemize over time.
Probability decreases exponentially with the number of choices required for success. Do the math; continue this series 150 terms for the probability of a small protein by chance. (Illustra Media).
Before a working cell could ever form with the quality control to build uniformly-handed proteins, only mixed-handed polymers would be able to form in a chemical soup. Such a time before life, furthermore, would be unable to conjure up a success with natural selection (the Stuff Happens Law), given that natural selection—if it even worked—requires accurate replication. That, in turn, requires a genetic code with quality control, proteins and enzymes, and a sophisticated membrane to hold everything together.
It is unthinkable to imagine all these requirements being met by chance when even one small protein defies the probabilistic odds by many, many orders of magnitude (see "The Amoeba's Journey" from the Illustra Media documentary Origin). For those unwilling to place such ridiculous bets on natural explanations, the only alternative is intelligent design.
A Gift of Nature?
The prize winners had no explanation for the asymmetry in biological molecules, but were glad they exist.
"Why in the world is biology single-handed? Why do we have this preference in nature? We don't know," List said. "This handedness is transferred in the catalytic reaction onto the substrates so that you get more of these handed molecules. It's a great gift, I would say, that nature provides these molecules for us."
"Chirality, for me, is the most interesting question in physics and chemistry and maybe even in biology," Felser says, adding that today's announcement could be "inspiring for the younger generations to look more for symmetry violations in nature".
Big bang theory has no luck accounting for the matter/antimatter asymmetry either. Antimatter is functionally equivalent to matter; only the charge is different. Secular cosmological models predict equal quantities of both. The only explanation so far given is some unknown quantum-mechanical process might have created a slight excess of matter. All the rest annihilated itself, and our present universe is the result of the tiny fraction left over. This explanation sounds like special pleading to maintain a naturalistic world view.
Who is anti-science? Who is a fundamentalist? Who is too blinded by dogmatic adherence to a worldview to see the truth? It's not creationists. They acknowledge the one necessary and sufficient cause to account for the observations of a functioning universe: an almighty Creator God, transcendent above nature, with the knowledge, wisdom and foresight to design and implement working systems according to a master plan. It was not a committee plan, either. "For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): "I am the Lord, and there is no other.'" (Isaiah 45:18).
The ones blinded by dogma are the ones who bet on futile odds that are beyond astronomically improbable: the origin of a universe where the asymmetries seen in matter and life worked out by chance. Paul's warning in Romans 1 cannot be repeated too often. It explains how the smartest scientists in the most prestigious institutions around the world can come to such irrational beliefs.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
There is hope even for them. They can turn around, and believe the good news offered by this Creator who is not only omniscient and omnipotent, but also merciful and gracious (John 3).

BusPIRone HCl (Page 3 of 5)
A-S Medication Solutions 14 June 2021
No evidence of carcinogenic potential was observed in rats during a 24-month study at approximately 133 times the maximum recommended human oral dose; or in mice, during an 18-month study at approximately 167 times the maximum recommended human oral dose.
With or without metabolic activation, buspirone did not induce point mutations in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (Ames Test) or mouse lymphoma L5178YTK+ cell cultures, nor was DNA damage observed with buspirone in Wi-38 human cells. Chromosomal aberrations or abnormalities did not occur in bone marrow cells of mice given one or five daily doses of buspirone.
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category B: No fertility impairment or fetal damage was observed in reproduction studies performed in rats and rabbits at buspirone doses of approximately 30 times the maximum recommended human dose. In humans, however, adequate and well-controlled studies during pregnancy have not been performed. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
The effect of buspirone hydrochloride tablets on labor and delivery in women is unknown. No adverse effects were noted in reproduction studies in rats.
The extent of the excretion in human milk of buspirone or its metabolites is not known. In rats, however, buspirone and its metabolites are excreted in milk. Buspirone hydrochloride tablets administration to nursing women should be avoided if clinically possible.
The safety and effectiveness of buspirone were evaluated in two placebo-controlled 6-week trials involving a total of 559 pediatric patients (ranging from 6 to 17 years of age) with GAD. Doses studied were 7.5 mg to 30 mg b.i.d. (15–60 mg/day). There were no significant differences between buspirone and placebo with regard to the symptoms of GAD following doses recommended for the treatment of GAD in adults. Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that, for identical doses, plasma exposure to buspirone and its active metabolite, 1-PP, are equal to or higher in pediatric patients than adults. No unexpected safety findings were associated with buspirone in these trials. There are no long-term safety or efficacy data in this population.
In one study of 6632 patients who received buspirone for the treatment of anxiety, 605 patients were ≥65 years old and 41 were ≥75 years old; the safety and efficacy profiles for these 605 elderly patients (mean age = 70.8 years) were similar to those in the younger population (mean age = 43.3 years). Review of spontaneously reported adverse clinical events has not identified differences between elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older patients cannot be ruled out.
There were no effects of age on the pharmacokinetics of buspirone (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Special Populations).
Use in Patients With Impaired Hepatic or Renal Function
Buspirone is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. A pharmacokinetic study in patients with impaired hepatic or renal function demonstrated increased plasma levels and a lengthened half-life of buspirone. Therefore, the administration of buspirone hydrochloride tablets to patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment cannot be recommended (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY).
(See also PRECAUTIONS)
Commonly Observed
The more commonly observed untoward events associated with the use of buspirone hydrochloride tablets not seen at an equivalent incidence among placebo-treated patients include dizziness, nausea, headache, nervousness, lightheadedness, and excitement.
Associated with Discontinuation of Treatment
One guide to the relative clinical importance of adverse events associated with buspirone hydrochloride tablets is provided by the frequency with which they caused drug discontinuation during clinical testing. Approximately 10% of the 2200 anxious patients who participated in the buspirone hydrochloride tablets premarketing clinical efficacy trials in anxiety disorders lasting 3 to 4 weeks discontinued treatment due to an adverse event. The more common events causing discontinuation included: central nervous system disturbances (3.4%), primarily dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, drowsiness, and lightheaded feeling; gastrointestinal disturbances (1.2%), primarily nausea; and miscellaneous disturbances (1.1%), primarily headache and fatigue. In addition, 3.4% of patients had multiple complaints, none of which could be characterized as primary.
Incidence in Controlled Clinical Trials
The table that follows enumerates adverse events that occurred at a frequency of 1% or more among buspirone hydrochloride patients who participated in 4-week, controlled trials comparing buspirone hydrochloride tablets with placebo. The frequencies were obtained from pooled data for 17 trials. The prescriber should be aware that these figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors differ from those which prevailed in the clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, and investigators. Comparison of the cited figures, however, does provide the prescribing physician with some basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the side-effect incidence rate in the population studied.

Other Events Observed During the Entire Premarketing Evaluation of Buspirone Hydrochloride Tablets
During its premarketing assessment, buspirone hydrochloride tablets were evaluated in over 3500 subjects. This section reports event frequencies for adverse events occurring in approximately 3000 subjects from this group who took multiple doses of buspirone hydrochloride tablets in the dose range for which buspirone hydrochloride tablets are being recommended (i.e., the modal daily dose of buspirone hydrochloride tablets fell between 10 mg and 30 mg for 70% of the patients studied) and for whom safety data were systematically collected. The conditions and duration of exposure to buspirone hydrochloride tablets varied greatly, involving well-controlled studies as well as experience in open and uncontrolled clinical settings. As part of the total experience gained in clinical studies, various adverse events were reported. In the absence of appropriate controls in some of the studies, a causal relationship to buspirone hydrochloride treatment cannot be determined. The list includes all undesirable events reasonably associated with the use of the drug.
The following enumeration by organ system describes events in terms of their relative frequency of reporting in this data base. Events of major clinical importance are also described in the PRECAUTIONS section.
The following definitions of frequency are used: Frequent adverse events are defined as those occurring in at least 1/100 patients. Infrequent adverse events are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1000 patients, while rare events are those occurring in less than 1/1000 patients.
Frequent was nonspecific chest pain; infrequent were syncope, hypotension, and hypertension; rare were cerebrovascular accident, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and bradycardia.
Frequent were dream disturbances; infrequent were depersonalization, dysphoria, noise intolerance, euphoria, akathisia, fearfulness, loss of interest, dissociative reaction, hallucinations, involuntary movements, slowed reaction time, suicidal ideation, and seizures; rare were feelings of claustrophobia, cold intolerance, stupor, and slurred speech and psychosis.
Frequent were tinnitus, sore throat, and nasal congestion; infrequent were redness and itching of the eyes, altered taste, altered smell, and conjunctivitis; rare were inner ear abnormality, eye pain, photophobia, and pressure on eyes.
Rare were galactorrhea and thyroid abnormality.
Infrequent were flatulence, anorexia, increased appetite, salivation, irritable colon, and rectal bleeding; rare was burning of the tongue.
Genitourinary
Infrequent were urinary frequency, urinary hesitancy, menstrual irregularity and spotting, and dysuria; rare were amenorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, enuresis, and nocturia.
Infrequent were muscle cramps, muscle spasms, rigid/stiff muscles, and arthralgias; rare was muscle weakness.
Infrequent were hyperventilation, shortness of breath, and chest congestion; rare was epistaxis.
Infrequent were decreased or increased libido; rare were delayed ejaculation and impotence.
Infrequent were edema, pruritus, flushing, easy bruising, hair loss, dry skin, facial edema, and blisters; rare were acne and thinning of nails.
Infrequent were increases in hepatic aminotransferases (SGOT, SGPT); rare were eosinophilia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.
Infrequent were weight gain, fever, roaring sensation in the head, weight loss, and malaise; rare were alcohol abuse, bleeding disturbance, loss of voice, and hiccoughs.

Secure AI Labs, founded by alumna Anne Kim and MIT Professor Manolis Kellis, anonymizes data for AI researchers.
By analyzing large datasets and finding patterns, virtually any new algorithm has the potential to help patients — AI researchers just need access to the right data to train and test those algorithms. Hospitals, understandably, are hesitant to share sensitive patient information with research teams. When they do share data, it's difficult to verify that researchers are only using the data they need and deleting it after they're done.
Secure AI Labs (SAIL) is addressing those problems with a technology that lets AI algorithms run on encrypted datasets that never leave the data owner's system. Health care organizations can control how their datasets are used, while researchers can protect the confidentiality of their models and search queries. Neither party needs to see the data or the model to collaborate.
SAIL's platform can also combine data from multiple sources, creating rich insights that fuel more effective algorithms.
"You shouldn't have to schmooze with hospital executives for five years before you can run your machine learning algorithm," says SAIL co-founder and MIT Professor Manolis Kellis, who co-founded the company with CEO Anne Kim '16, SM '17. "Our goal is to help patients, to help machine learning scientists, and to create new therapeutics. We want new algorithms — the best algorithms — to be applied to the biggest possible data set."
SAIL has already partnered with hospitals and life science companies to unlock anonymized data for researchers. In the next year, the company hopes to be working with about half of the top 50 academic medical centers in the country.
Unleashing AI's full potential
As an undergraduate at MIT studying computer science and molecular biology, Kim worked with researchers in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) to analyze data from clinical trials, gene association studies, hospital intensive care units, and more.
"I realized there is something severely broken in data sharing, whether it was hospitals using hard drives, ancient file transfer protocol, or even sending stuff in the mail," Kim says. "It was all just not well-tracked."
Kellis, who is also a member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, has spent years establishing partnerships with hospitals and consortia across a range of diseases including cancers, heart disease, schizophrenia, and obesity. He knew that smaller research teams would struggle to get access to the same data his lab was working with.
In 2017, Kellis and Kim decided to commercialize technology they were developing to allow AI algorithms to run on encrypted data.
In the summer of 2018, Kim participated in the delta v startup accelerator run by the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. The founders also received support from the Sandbox Innovation Fund and the Venture Mentoring Service, and made various early connections through their MIT network.
To participate in SAIL's program, hospitals and other health care organizations make parts of their data available to researchers by setting up a node behind their firewall. SAIL then sends encrypted algorithms to the servers where the datasets reside in a process called federated learning. The algorithms crunch the data locally in each server and transmit the results back to a central model, which updates itself. No one — not the researchers, the data owners, or even SAIL —has access to the models or the datasets.
The approach allows a much broader set of researchers to apply their models to large datasets. To further engage the research community, Kellis' lab at MIT has begun holding competitions in which it gives access to datasets in areas like protein function and gene expression, and challenges researchers to predict results.
"We invite machine learning researchers to come and train on last year's data and predict this year's data," says Kellis. "If we see there's a new type of algorithm that is performing best in these community-level assessments, people can adopt it locally at many different institutions and level the playing field. So, the only thing that matters is the quality of your algorithm rather than the power of your connections."
By enabling a large number of datasets to be anonymized into aggregate insights, SAIL's technology also allows researchers to study rare diseases, in which small pools of relevant patient data are often spread out among many institutions. That has historically made the data difficult to apply AI models to.
"We're hoping that all of these datasets will eventually be open," Kellis says. "We can cut across all the silos and enable a new era where every patient with every rare disorder across the entire world can come together in a single keystroke to analyze data."
Enabling the medicine of the future
To work with large amounts of data around specific diseases, SAIL has increasingly sought to partner with patient associations and consortia of health care groups, including an international health care consulting company and the Kidney Cancer Association. The partnerships also align SAIL with patients, the group they're most trying to help.
Overall, the founders are happy to see SAIL solving problems they faced in their labs for researchers around the world.
"The right place to solve this is not an academic project. The right place to solve this is in industry, where we can provide a platform not just for my lab but for any researcher," Kellis says. "It's about creating an ecosystem of academia, researchers, pharma, biotech, and hospital partners. I think it's the blending all of these different areas that will make that vision of medicine of the future become a reality."

'Graffuturism' at Mirus
Jared Herzing April 27th, 2019 Music and Art Scene Share:
Graffiti has always been a notorious type of art. Often raw, unpolished, unsolicited, and temporary, the word conjures up images of train cars, subway tunnels, and overpasses with kids in hoodies hopping fences with spray cans clanking around in their backpacks. Long misunderstood as mere vandalism and loathed by city mayors everywhere, this fully legitimate art form was developed underground. Its guerrilla nature led to a lack of representation in traditional gallery settings. An upcoming exhibition at Mirus aims to change that. Dubbed, L'Aviner, this showcase focuses on an evolution of graffiti, called Graffuturism. Though difficult to define, it combines the muralistic style of graffiti art with abstract futurism techniques. L'Aviner brings together world-class artists from every corner of the globe in an unprecedented display of urban art. These pioneers have seen the international, multigenerational progression of graffiti and its transition from the alley to the gallery. There are already dozens of artists on the lineup and more to be announced, but just to name a few…
Augustine Kofie is a world-renowned artist based in LA. His most recent focus is on the idea of the existential here and now and a technique he calls "Vintage Futurism." His work explores the intersection of the past and future and how they meld into the present. Kofie uses intricate lines and soft color palettes to create paintings that resemble abstract cityscapes and complex geometric shapes. His paintings are part of numerous private and public collections, and his murals adorn walls in cities like Madrid, Marrakesh, Paris, Milan, Cape Town, and Hollywood.
Doze Green grew up in New York and embodied the 70s hip-hop culture in his youth. He began tagging subway cars and buildings, slowly refining his skills and style to become the artist he is today. Green takes a "stream of consciousness" approach to his paintings. His works often include layered images and multiple planes. He combines influences from religion, politics, calligraphy, performance art, and his personal experiences into vibrant narratives. Green's style is perfect for live demonstrations, and he's made a name for himself at a number of live events.
Moneyless is an Italian visual artist and graphic designer. Throughout the early 2000s, he studied in Florence and explored the possibilities of combining graffiti with fine art techniques. Classically trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, his works often incorporate geometric designs, fragmentation, and layering. While a gallery seems like a natural place for Moneyless to display his work, he likes to keep the urban aspect prevalent. His paintings can be found in abandoned buildings, construction sites, alleyways, and of course, at Mirus.
Jaybo Monk is a French graffiti artist and writer. He creates collage-like paintings without reference to time or space. They're a blend of amorphic masses, segments of the human body, and geometric shapes. His purposeful disregard for rules and basic elements of art lead to endless possibilities, and the viewer never knows what to expect next. You won't find things like symmetry in Monk's work; he takes pride in ambiguity and imperfection.
L'Avenir gives audiences a rare opportunity to see a global representation of graffiti evolution, and Mirus is the perfect location. Many of the artists featured have helped shape the urban art scene for decades. Their constant experimentation paves the way for new styles like Graffuturism. L'Avenir is showing through May 25th, and is free to the public. Mirus is located at 1144 Broadway in Denver. Hours are 12-6, Tuesday thru Saturday.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE CONSULTATION OF GENEALOGICAL SOURCES
In the context of the launch of the genealogical website (in the autumn of 2022), certain digitised parish registers or registers of civil status will be temporarily unavailable. We thank you for your understanding and apologize in advance for this inconvenience! In addition, we would like to point out that six months after the launch of this new website, the current inventories in the search engine (ordered by province and municipality) will be taken offline. The digitised registers can then only be consulted via the genealogical website. Concretely, this means that the current URLs will disappear. If you have made a link to these registers (in a family tree or on a website), this will have to be adapted after the launch of the website.

76,000 maps and plans accessible in the digital reading rooms of the State Archives
The State Archives holds a real treasure of cartographic materials, but handing out original maps and plans in the reading rooms bears the risk of deteriorating the state of conservation of these documents. Indeed, repeated unrolling and rolling-up of these maps and plans that are sometimes of considerable size has taken its toll on the documents, which called for a large-scale digitization campaign. In recent years, some 60,000 maps and plans were digitised. This number increases steadily. Roughly 44,000 of these digital images have been processed and are now available for research.

The CEGESOMA was created in 1967 and is now part of the National Archives of Belgium. In January 2016, it was officially incorporated in the State Archives.
Initially called the Centre for Research and Studies on the History of the Second Word War, it was founded on 13 December 1967. Its task was "to take all necessary measures to collect, preserve and study documents or archives relating to the Second World War in Belgium, its antecedents, background and consequences" (Belgian Official Journal, 10 February 1968, no. 29, p. 1259-1261). Originally, the Centre was attached to the National Archives and was placed under the direction of the Department of National Education.
In 1969, a team of six researchers set to work and laid down the essential milestones which were to pave the way for a number of pioneering studies on the Second World War. In 1971, in collaboration with Jules Gérard-Libois, José Gotovitch published the reference work "L'An 40". From the onset, the Centre was a member of the International Committee for the History of the Second World War.
In parallel to its research activities, the Centre concerned itself with building archival collections from the period 1939-1945 and the constitution of a rich library which gradually expands its collections domain. Furthermore, its photographic archives was from the start one of the richest in Europe with regard to the Second World War. The collections have expanded considerably over the last years. Finally, the digitisation of the collections which started in the 1990s with the photographs has accelerated from 2000 onwards.
From the 1980s, to create a link with the academic circles, the Centre organises monthly seminars and from 1990 onwards it holds international symposia. Increasingly, the Centre carries out its own research projects.
From 1993 to 2004, the centre housed at Residence Palace. In 1997, the Centre for Research and Studies on the History of the Second World War changed its name to Centre for Historical Research and Documentation on War and Contemporary Society (CegeSoma). Its field of activities has now extended to the history of the 20th century.
In 2000, the CegeSoma joins the Documentation pole that also comprises the State Archives and the Royal Library. According to the normative provisions in force, the National Archivist is a member of the Scientific Commission and of the Management Committee of CegeSoma.
On the 1st of January 2016, the centre changed its name to Study Centre War and Society and was incorporated to the State Archives in which it became Operational Directorate 4 (OD4).
The archive collection of CEGESOMA consists of 1,356 meters of paper records, 165 filing card boxes and 4,675 microfilms from the period 1914-2000. The collection includes personal archives, archives of private organisations, of collaborators and collaborationist movements, of resistance fighters and resistance organisations, of official institutions and services that existed only between 1939 and 1946 and of microfilms and photocopies of foreign archival collections. Some archive collections are already accessible online.
There are 17 archive sub-sections of equivalent archive creators.
Archives et documents des autorités alliées se trouvant en Belgique et responsables pour la Belgique pendant la libération et l'immédiat après-guerre et des armées alliées
Archives et documents d'institutions et organisations officielles (à l'exclusion des institutions qui fonctionnaient à Londres entre 1940 et 1944)
Archives et documents de partis, mouvements et groupes politiques
Organisations d'utilité publique, organisations privées et organisations patriotiques
Archives et documents émanant de syndicats belges, y compris ceux liés à la clandestinité et à la Collaboration
Archives et documents de l'Armée belge (à l'exclusion de la Grande-Bretagne)
Archives et documents de et concernant les mouvements de jeunesse
Archives et documents de formations de collaboration militaire
Archives et documents de et concernant les prisonniers de guerre
Archives et documents de et concernant les institutions belges et les Belges en Grande-Bretagne et en France
Archives et documents du gouvernement militaire allemand, d'institutions allemandes civiles et concernant la Wehrmacht
Archives et documents en provenance de et concernant les organisations belges de Résistance
Archives et documents de et concernant les services de renseignement et d'action
Archives et documents de et concernant entreprises et institutions financières belges, principalement sous l'Occupation
Collections de documents, fonds de recherche et enquêtes
Séries et documents d'archives étrangers concernant la Belgique, des pays étrangers (à l'exception de l'Allemagne) et archives d' organisations et tribunaux internationaux
The collection allows researchers to explore a variety of subjects, in the first place on the Second World War: the policies of the Occupation authorities, the Resistance, the collaboration, the policies of the Belgian authorities, the persecution of the Jews, the Belgian government in London. The post-war period also offers a wide range of research possibilities, mostly on war-related phenomena such as the Liberation, the post-war purges, post-war policies, the repatriation from Germany, the representations of the war in the media. On socio-political questions such as the extreme-right, human rights, the peace movement and third world policies ample material is available.
Three types of archival collections have a specific character.
Databases have been created on a specific theme, often with particular research scopes, such as the surveys carried out by the Centre on subjects such as "the Church" and "Forced Labour" and the archives compiled for the broadcasts by the RTBF and the BRT (respectively Francophone and Flemish television) about Belgium during the Second World War.
The microfilms of foreign archival collections bearing on Belgium have foreign but no Belgian archive creators. For example: German Records Microfilmed at Alexandria, which are documents about post‑1945 Belgium that were microfilmed in the United States.
In more than 2,700 diaries and manuscripts, people and personalities relate their experiences relating to the Second World War (Exodus, 18-day military campaign, war prisoners, daily life, collaboration, resistance, deportation and Liberation), but also the First World War, the (de)colonisation, etc.
Audiovisual archives
The photographic archives: CegeSoma conserves over 300,000 photographs from the Sipho agency, shot by Otto Kropf (about daily life in occupied Belgium), Raphaël Algoet (liberation of the German concentration camps in 1945), André Cauvin (Congo among others), etc. They can be accessed and viewed through the online catalogue.
The poster collection: CegeSoma conserves some 3,000 posters. A large part of this collection is related to the Second World War. It contains placards originating from the Belgian administration and documents issued in the context of the German and Allied (British and Canadian) propaganda. But other themes are also prominent: Communist propaganda, the cinema, colonial propaganda, the 1930s, Rexism, pacifism, the Cold War and European integration. Part of the collection of the well-known artist Wilchar of the 1930s and 40s also forms part of our poster collection, which, at present, consists of some 3000 posters. They are gradually scanned and introduced in our Pallas image bank.
The videotape collection: The videotape collection of Cegesoma consists of approximately 600 tapes and includes primarily the documentaries made by the francophone (RTBF) and the Flemish (VRT) television on the Second World War (notably the programmes made by Maurice De Wilde on the pre-war and occupation periods, the series on the Resistance and on daily life, the series Jours de Guerre, etc.). In our commitment to accessibility, the collection has gradually broadened its themes. It includes in particular the complete RTBF-series Inédits. We also hold a large and continuing collection of DVD tapes.
Click here to consult the video collection.
The sound documents: The basis of the collection of sound documents consists of 4,500 records originating from Radio-Bruxelles and Zender Brussel, the two broadcasting stations that were on the air during the occupation period, together with Radio Belgium of London and New York. The Centre keeps an original of this collection and a copy on cassettes (the result of a collaboration project with the VRT). From this material two sound documents were produced in collaboration with the VRT and the Crédit Communal/Gemeentekrediet: België beeft en … buigt (on the pre-war period in Belgium) and België bezet en bevrijd (on the occupation period and the Liberation). Click here to consult the sound documents
The interviews: CegeSoma keeps an important and varied collection of interviews:
- 1,800 interviews (all of which are digitised) of former resistance fighters, collaborators and other eyewitnesses of the Second World War undertaken by researchers from the Centre.
- 700 interviews by journalists of RTBF (from the series Jours de Guerre)
- The interviews by Maurice De Wilde (VRT) for his broadcasts on collaboration, repression and resistance.
- 1,200 interviews on daily life in Belgium during the Occupation, recorded between 1984 and 1998 in the course of a research project at UCL (Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve) led by Professor Jacques Lory. Click here to consult the interviews recorded by CegeSoma researchers.
The library comprises about 90,000 books and brochures, more than 4,000 periodicals and newspapers and a large collection of press cuttings. The focus lies on 20th themes with a relevance to contemporary conflict such as nationalism, ethnicity, racism, migration, communism, the extreme right, colonisation/decolonisation and genocides. The library of CEGESOMA is accessible through the integrated catalogue Pallas.

According to Politico, earlier in July, Trump tried to convince Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker that the latest bill imposing sweeping sanctions on Russia was unconstitutional and that it would damage his presidency.
"He was clearly frustrated," a source familiar with the details of conversation said as quoted by the media outlet on Wednesday.
The report specified that on August 7 Trump expressed his opposition to the new legislation in a conversation with Thom Tillis, a senator from North Carolina. Tillis is one of the authors of a bill designed to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russia's alleged election meddling, from any president's attempt to fire him.
The new punitive measures target Russia's defense and energy sectors, in particular, giving the president an option of imposing sanctions on those who invest in the construction of Russian energy export pipelines. Under the new legislation, the president will require the approval of the Congress to lift the sanctions.

Trump Hits Back After Minneapolis Mayor Allegedly Tries To Extort His Campaign
President Donald Trump slammed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Tuesday after the city demanded that his presidential campaign pay more than half a million dollars for security during his upcoming rally.
"The lightweight mayor is hurting the great police and other wonderful supporters," Trump tweeted. "72,000 ticket requests already. Dump Frey and Omar! Make America Great Again!"
The lightweight mayor is hurting the great police and other wonderful supporters. 72,000 ticket requests already. Dump Frey and Omar! Make America Great Again! https://t.co/ibTqvSbsbn
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2019
Trump's remarks were in reference to the city of Minneapolis' decision to charge his campaign $530,000 for his rally on Thursday. City officials initially asked the Target Center to foot the bill and the arena subsequently tried to pass through the costs onto the campaign, reported the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The estimated security costs, however, are significantly higher than what it has costed other Minnesota cities to host the president. The city of Rochester stated that Trump's rally cost the city roughly $76,000 in security fees, and Trump's visit to Duluth cost taxpayers only $69,000; in both cases, the cities paid the expenses, not the Trump campaign.
In a press release, Trump's campaign put forth that "the ridiculous sum of $530,000 is more than 26 times the estimated security costs for a 2009 Target Center health care rally held by President Barack Obama." It also noted that the "U.S. Secret Service is solely responsible for coordinating security."
This is an outrageous abuse of power by a liberal mayor trying to deny the rights of his own city's residents just because he hates the President!
Press Release: https://t.co/7eBwgqQuIp pic.twitter.com/4jGWATdDD7
— Brad Parscale (@parscale) October 8, 2019
"The radical leftist mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, is abusing the power of his office and attempting to extort President Trump's re-election campaign by conjuring a phony and outlandish bill for security in an effort to block a scheduled Keep America Great rally," the press statement read. "Democrat Mayor Frey is using the bogus security charges to pressure the Target Center, site of the contracted October 10, 2019 rally, into preventing Minnesota residents from exercising their First Amendment rights in support of President Trump."
The Trump campaign penned a letter on Monday to AEG Management, which manages the Target Center, threatening to move forward with a lawsuit against both AEG and the city of Minneapolis if the initial contract is not honored.
"We presume this contrived legal justification for threatening to terminate the contract is the result of AEG receiving pressure from City leadership determined to cancel the rally," the campaign wrote. "We are well aware of Mayor Frey's vocal partisan opposition to President Trump and calls to disrupt the rally. This last-minute squeeze seems to be nothing but a pretextual political effort with serious First Amendment ramifications."
"Politics is no basis to interfere with a contract," the letter continued.
