September 8, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albanian special forces police forced the door of the Iranian Embassy in Tirana on Thursday and officers surrounded the compound in which it stands, shortly after the last staff members left the building following the government’s order to expel them. The officers, in full fighting gear, entered the building first and were followed by other officers carrying equipment and accompanied by a dog. The Albanian government on Wednesday had given the embassy’s staff 24 hours…

Ginobili and his Eurostep reach Basketball Hall...

September 8, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

The first clue that, no, Manu Ginobili did not invent the Eurostep should come from the move’s name. Ginobili isn’t from Europe. He’s from South America. And it’s not called the South Ameristep. Perhaps it should be. The long, lateral move — step one way to get a defender leaning, then cut the other way into open space — was Ginobili’s signature, something he mastered, something that he brought into the mainstream. In turn, it brought him to the…

September 8, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

BERLIN (AP) — The cost of the German chancellery’s planned extension will rise to 777 million euros ($773 million), which is 177 million euros more than initially planned. The increase in costs is related to integrating new climate protection measures, a tunnel for deliveries that hadn’t been included in the initial building plan, rising prices of material due to inflation and other issues, a senior German official who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government policy said…

Brunswick Monument in Geneva, Switzerland

September 8, 2022

Geneva is the origin of the Calvinistic stream of Protestantism, and therefore a tempered place that generally frowns on decadent architecture, especially when related to people, despite that there is a massive and richly decorated tomb for Charles II, Duke of Brunswick, right next to Lake Geneva. The tomb was built in 1879. It was designed by Swiss architect Jean Franel and modeled after the 14th-century Scalinger Tombs in Verona. The Duke of Brunswick, a very wealthy man, had left……

R. Kelly ex-manager tells jurors boss never...

September 8, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

CHICAGO (AP) — Singer R. Kelly’s former business manager told jurors Wednesday he never believed allegations of sexual misconduct that emerged against his boss, saying he came to understand that fending off false claims was a cost of doing business for a superstar. Derrell McDavid, a co-defendant at Kelly’s child pornography and trial-fixing trial in federal court in Chicago, said he saw no signs Kelly sought minors for sex, blaming Kelly enemies and those hoping to profit off his…

Remembering When America Banned Sliced Bread

September 7, 2022

The year was 1943, and Americans were in crisis. Across the Atlantic, war with Germany was raging. On the home front, homemakers were facing a very different sort of challenge: a nationwide ban on sliced bread. “To U.S. housewives it was almost as bad as gas rationing—and a whale of a lot more trouble,” announced Time magazine on February 1, 1943. The article goes on to describe women fumbling with their grandmothers’ antiquated serrated knives. “Then came grief, cussing,……

Dolforwyn Castle in Abermule, Wales

September 7, 2022

Dolforwyn Castle was one of the last strongholds built by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (known as Llywelyn the Last), the last native Prince of Wales to be formally recognized by the crown, and stands as a weathered reminder of the defiance of the Welsh princes in the face of the conquest of the English king, Edward I. Llywelyn began work on the castle in 1273 to cement his position of power in the Severn Valley. Before he’d even completed it,……

Collaborative machine learning that preserves privacy

September 7, 2022

Training a machine-learning model to effectively perform a task, such as image classification, involves showing the model thousands, millions, or even billions of example images. Gathering such enormous datasets can be especially challenging when privacy is a concern, such as with medical images. Researchers from MIT and the MIT-born startup DynamoFL have now taken one popular solution to this problem, known as federated learning, and made it faster and more accurate. Federated learning is a collaborative method for training……

Turning carbon dioxide into valuable products

September 7, 2022

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to climate change and a significant product of many human activities, notably industrial manufacturing. A major goal in the energy field has been to chemically convert emitted CO2 into valuable chemicals or fuels. But while CO2 is available in abundance, it has not yet been widely used to generate value-added products. Why not? The reason is that CO2 molecules are highly stable and therefore not prone to being chemically converted to a……
