Her older brother and sister both joined the Army, and Rose prays for their safety as World War II rages overseas.When the parish priest organizes a goodwill mission to visit Italian prisoners of war at a nearby military base, Rose and her vivacious best friend, Marie, join the group. There, Rose falls for Sal, a handsome and intelligent POW. Italy has switched sides in the war, so the POWs are allowed out to socialize, giving Rose and Sal a chance to grow closer.      "Elisa M. Speranza is the granddaughter of Irish and Italian immigrants, raised Catholic, and educated by nuns. She's been a writer and book nerd all her life.

The month of April brings in new opportunities and the energies of East on the Medicine Wheel. Spiritual practice, divine guidance and perspective, as well as keeping in touch with all your realities in a grounded way is highlighted for April as well as the second quarter of the year Apr-June. We also take a guided drum journey vision quest with the Spirit keepers of the East to gather knowledge and insight to the next 3 months ahead.

In this channeled dialogue with Archangel Michael we look at the current energies on the planet and get advice and guidance on how to navigate life's changes and redirects that are happening right now. This is recorded in the energies of the March 2025 equinox and eclipse sandwich between the lunar and solar eclipses. The energies of 2025 have been particularly challenging based on the astrology and the awakening happening on the planet right now. However this is a timeless message that can be visited anytime you're feeling like you're uncertain about what's to come.

This week is all about the balance of cycles and circles and inner dimensions. As we look at the energies of the Equinox and Aries season amidst the eclipse sandwich which we have the second and final eclipse at the end of this month. Things may seem jerky and slow going and you may find yourself vacillating from surety to uncertainty. Where will you land? Follow your inner compass, stay with your spiritual practices, give up offerings to the planet, and stay in your heart. ❤️

Let's relax and check in together. Energies have been very powerful and chaotic. Whenever you're finding this. You are not alone. We bring in guidance from Archangel Michael and the fairies along with light language and crystal reiki to help soothe your nervous system and calm the monkey mind.

This March delivers a powerful potent mix of chaos and shakeup to extract anything from your life that is out of balance. Closing out cycles that are no longer relevant or ending chapters that must come to a close. This may feel disconcerting and bring in stress and anxiety.Here we share the Bringers of the Light Ascension Update for the month as well as powerful clearing energies, ascension codes, DNA packet recalibrations, and hope codes with a light language activation from many realms. Let's take this one day maybe even one moment at a time as we navigate the month ahead.#angelmessages #divineguidance #booktube THANKS FOR Being here

Heute beendet Flo die zweiteilige Serie zu König Stanislaus Leszczynski. Weil in Teil I noch nicht genug Krieg und allgemeine Tragik behandelt wurden, geht es auch im zweiten Teil wieder um den Kampf um den polnischen Thron und weitere Rückschläge für den exilierten König von Polen. Für Fans von Happy-Ends ist jedoch noch nicht aller Tage Ende gekommen, denn so wechselhaft Stanislaus' Biografie auch ist, am Ende wird - wie so oft - wenn schon nicht alles, dann wenigstens vieles gut. Als Bonus wird in der Folge das Leben eines polnischen Zeitgenossen des Polenkönigs beleuchtet: Józef Boruwlaski, einem Mann, der trotz einiger Widrigkeiten ein faszinierendes Leben führte und uns mit seinen selbst verfassten Memoiren einen einzigartigen Einblick in das Leben eines Kleinwüchsigen im 18. Jahrhundert ermöglicht. Die Erinnerungen Boruwlaskis sind eine faszinierende Quelle auf englisch und französisch und als Digitalisat bei Google-Books verfügbar: https://books.google.de/books?id=fGEUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP11#v=onepage&q&f=false.

Las acciones de Alphabet, la matriz de Google, cayeron el miércoles un 7% tras presentar unos ingresos que estaban por debajo de lo previsto en el cuarto trimestre. A pesar de ello, obtuvieron unos ingresos de más de 100.000 millones de dólares, un 36% más interanual. Su beneficio por acción fue de 2,15 dólares, dos centavos más de la previsión del mercado. También destacó su gran beneficio atribuido de 26.536 millones de dólares, un 28% más interanual. Debido a estas fortalezas, su CEO, Sundar Pichai, cree que ha sido un gran trimestre. Alphabet es un conglomerado que nació de una reestructuración corporativa de Google el 2 de octubre de 2015. En ella se alojan servicios como Fiber, Calico o Nest. Una de las grandes fortalezas de Google ha sido Google Cloud, su plataforma que ha reunido todas las aplicaciones de desarrollo web que Google estaba ofreciendo por separado. Anat Ashkenazi, Directora de finanzas de Alphabet. Es una de las causantes, eso sí, de la gran decepción de Alphabet en el mercado. La división cloud obtuvo 11.860 millones de dólares en ingresos, un volumen inferior a los 12.190 millones estimados por el mercado. Gemini es otra historia diferente. Gemini es el modelo de lenguaje de inteligencia artificial que presentó Google en mayo de 2023. Fue la gran apuesta de 2024 y este año no va a ser diferente. Alphabet anunció en su conferencia para inversores, que destinará 75.000 millones de dólares en gastos relacionados con la inteligencia artificial, de los que muchos acabarán siendo para Gemini. Así ve el futuro de la plataforma Pichai. Como otras grandes tecnológicas, como Facebook o META, Google ha tenido varias polémicas con algunos de sus servicios. Una de las grandes polémicas de los últimos años estuvo relacionada con su servicio Google Books. Fue en 2016, con el caso Authors Guild, la asociación de autores estadounidenses contra Google Books. En ella, los autores se quejaban que la digitalización de los libros por parte de la compañía, lo que suponía para ellos una vulneración contra los derechos de autor. La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos acabó dando la razón a Google.

As revelations about Meta's use of pirated books for AI training send shockwaves through the tech industry, the battle over copyright and AI reaches a critical juncture. In this final episode of The Dynamist's series on AI and copyright, Evan is joined by FAI's Senior Fellow Tim Hwang and  Tech Policy Manager Joshua Levine to discuss how these legal battles could determine whether world-leading AI development happens in Silicon Valley or Shenzhen.The conversation examines the implications of Meta's recently exposed use of Library Genesis - a shadow library of pirated books - to train its LLaMA models, highlighting the desperate measures even tech giants will take to source training data. This scandal crystallizes a core tension: U.S. companies face mounting copyright challenges while Chinese competitors can freely use these same materials without fear of legal repercussions. The discussion delves into potential policy solutions, from expanding fair use doctrine to creating new statutory licensing frameworks, that could help American AI development remain competitive while respecting creator rights.Drawing on historical parallels from past technological disruptions like Napster and Google Books, the guests explore how market-based solutions and policy innovation could help resolve these conflicts. As courts weigh major decisions in cases involving OpenAI, Anthropic, and others in 2024, the episode frames copyright not just as a domestic policy issue, but as a key factor in national technological competitiveness. What's at stake isn't just compensation for creators, but whether IP disputes could cede AI leadership to nations with fewer or no constraints on training data.

This week you need to hold the higher light, perspective, and vision because everything is turning out better than you're thinking at the moment. Turn your attention to the Higher Power and try not to deviate from a successful mindset about all you want.

David Miller kicks off the conversation with a summary of his life since Harvard. He went to Brown University, Providence, and then moved back to Boston, where he spent five years in Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, and then moved to Santa Monica, California, where his wife was pursuing her fellowship. He then returned to Boston, where he has been for 20 years, minus a three-month stint in Paris, France. Technology Inventor,  Independent Contributor, and Instructor David met his wife, Ruth Herzman Miller, in October of his freshman year at Harvard. They have three daughters, and David has spent some time as a full-time dad with each of them. He majored in mathematics at Harvard and pure mathematics at graduate school at Brown. After a pause, he worked in speech and language processing at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) Technologies in Cambridge where he worked on developing speech to text transcription and information retrieval. He went to UCLA to learn bioinformatics and worked at a bioinformatics laboratory at the Molecular Biology Institute. In 2001, he returned to Boston and worked at Aventis Pharmaceuticals, now Sanofi Aventis, applying his knowledge in lead generation informatics. He stayed at Aventis for a few years before taking some time off the workforce. In 2008, David joined Google for 16 years, primarily on the search engine. He has worked on various projects, including the Google Books project and AI Overviews. He has also spent time at Google Paris, Zurich, and Tokyo. He has also taught computer science in the context of the Girls Who Code Project, where he distributed curriculum material to numerous chapters and hosted meetups. He also worked with Microsoft TEALS (technology and learning in schools), teaching ninth and 10th grade computer science. Inspired by French Theater  During the pandemic, revisited an interest he had discovered in Paris, French theater. He started studying French and learned about the annual Theater Festival in Avignon, France, which is the second largest Fringe Festival in the world. After visiting the festival in 2022, he decided to create a similar event in Boston. He started a limited liability corporation with knowledge of French, Boston theater scene, organizational capacity, and spare finance. The first production was performed in April 2024, and the second is set to open in November 2024. They are currently booking venues and signing contracts for their 2025-2026 season.  Google, AI, and The BERT Revolution The conversation turns to  AI, BERT, and Google. He explains that the feature of BERT was built to transform language problems into arithmetic problems, using embeddings in high-dimensional vector spaces to catch semantics. This allowed for more complex arithmetic than just adding and subtracting. The BERT Revolution, invented by Jacob Devlin and his colleagues, was used to map words to embeddings, allowing for real-world correspondence in arithmetic. This concept was later used in Google's Featured Snippets, which was revamped to use embeddings and the Bert revolution. David's lecture at Boston University, which is titled "Natural Language Understanding, Deep Learning and the BERT Revolution" discusses the underlying mechanics of natural language processing and how it transformed problems in language into arithmetic. The BERT Revolution allowed for more complex arithmetic than just adding and subtracting, making it easier for neural networks to perform complex tasks.  The Rise of Hidden Markov Models David talks about the state-of-the-art technology at the time, Hidden Markov models, which had a temporal aspect of a changing probability distribution. These models were based on the sequence of text, and the Bayesian reasoning was used to determine the most likely audio to come from the words. This led to the development of generative models, where words generate the audio through probabilistic models. However, Bayesian modeling has been replaced by deep neural nets in the last five years of generative AI. He mentions that, in the early days, neural networks were untrainable and unwieldy, making Hidden Markov models the Bayesian generative approach. However, deep neural networks are now used. The Development of Neural Networks David discusses the development of neural networks, a technology that has been around since the 1950s. The availability of more recordings for speech, text, and language models has made it more accessible on the hardware side. The core of a neural network computation is matrix multiplication, which has been addressed by Nvidia and Google with their TensorFlow units. These units have invested large amounts of money in making specialized, custom hardware for this problem, accelerating things. David talks about how algorithms have also advanced significantly since the 1950s, and mentions key factors that have aided the advancement.    Becoming an Individual Contributor at Google David talks about how he learned the technology. He decided to become an individual contributor and studied the technology, the code, the papers, books, videos, and experiments. He spent most of the pandemic working on neural nets that eventually became the Gemini technology. David's journey to becoming a knowledgeable and skilled individual in neural networks was a journey that took him from a theoretical interest to a practical application. He learned to make the most of the technology and its capabilities, ultimately contributing to the advancement of the field. David has faced mixed reactions to his decision to become an independent contributor at Google. While some were supportive and skeptical, others were skeptical. He talks about the advice he received, how he moved forward, the success rate of his projects, and how his career has decelerated since 2019.  Behind the Curtain of French Theater The discussion moves to French theater and how David has become a French theater producer. He shares his journey of starting a production in Boston from scratch. To start a French theater production in Boston, David had to be integrated into the French community in Boston and the theater community in Boston. They do not create the theater but bring the original production to Boston and add subtitles. He talks about the challenges faced in securing locations, staff and equipment, and managing the production process such as hiring a director, actors, space, marketing, and logistics. He uses services like Playbill to manage administration, program design, publicity, and logistics. He is passionate about creating a new cultural institution in Boston that focuses on French theater. Boston is known for its strong ties to France and hospitals, and David aims to create a French theater festival or translate French theater into English. He works with the French American Chamber of Commerce of New England, which helps create businesses and connections in Boston. Behind the Screen of Girls Who Code David has worked with Girls Who Code, an after-school program that runs programs for young women interested in programming and technology. He organized a meet-up at Google's Cambridge office, where he gave a keynote speech at parent meetings, emphasizing the importance of belonging and ownership in the industry. He was able to connect with 150 teenage girls and their parents, who expressed gratitude for his message. David's involvement with Girls Who Code has led to a sense of belonging and empowerment for these young women, who are now more likely to pursue careers in the tech industry. He believes that the French language theater in Boston could potentially sustain them through a 25-year career in the industry.

A fun spooky night at the corn maze and the WBAT 44AM haunted house.

Well this week brings you an opportunity to see how far you've come over the last 16 years. As we prepare for Pluto to leave Capricorn on November 19th, we're out to the test in various areas of our lives with the current in the celestials Cardinal Grand Cross aspecting the later degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Find which houses those sit in your chart and you'll get insights into what areas yours gonna be tested in. The solution when you're tired of these tests is to break free and go do something else. Frolic in the sunshine, swim in the water, do something silly, get out of your everyday reality and have some fun. THANKS FOR Being here

This month's healing is focused on clearing the energies of disconnectedness from Source and yourself. Where have you been playing it small? Where have you been misguiding yourself and downplaying yourself? This healing session is designed to clear those lower energies and bring the magic of the natural world back into your sight.

This week is one to stay diligent in your energy practices, cut yourself some slack (you're doing a great job just by being here on the planet), go slow and enjoy each moment. There's always something to be grateful for. Pay attention to your own energy (basically stay in your own lane), and try to have some fun. You only get one life at a time lol. THANKS FOR Being here

Google Books wanted to scan all the books of the world to digitize and hoard them and, potentially, monetize them. OpenAI wants to scan the history of human intellect to teach its computer program to think. The Internet Archive wanted to make books that weren't accessible accessible for no charge. Guess which one the court system shut down? As long as your plan is to make money, the American gov will let you do basically anything you want to do. Also: Tim Pool and other Russian tools, the FBI loves influencers, and the return of the honeytrap. For show notes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com
