![]() They make split decisions, change course and fly in another direction. If they come across an obstacle or something unknown, they don't panic. They grab and process images at a lightning-fast level, almost like a sped-up slideshow. And although those brains are tiny, they are capable of making sophisticated decisions especially during flight. Theobald, whose lab focuses on insect vision and flight, explains that insects have brains a millionth of a fraction of the size of a human brain. This will then be matched to data on lighting conditions. A 3D printer will allow the researchers to print tiny capture points that can be attached to the moth's body, accurately tracking each precise moment when a moth takes flight. They will use motion capture technology, like the kind used in movies, to measure the moths' flight patterns, in collaboration with Fabian. Sondhi conducting fieldwork in Costa Rica at Estacion Biologica Monteverde. ![]() "Now, this grant will help explore these questions more closely and at a larger, environmental scale in terms of how light pollution is changing their behavior." "I've always been interested in the question of a moth's interaction with light and have worked to come up with ways to track how light affects when moths are active," Yash said. With a National Geographic grant, they will collaborate with Akito Kawahara from the University of Florida, and Huai-Ti Lin and Sam Fabian from the Imperial College London, to uncover how moths respond to different light levels at field sites in India, and determine if they are attracted to or avoid light-polluted areas. ![]() student Yash Sondhi want to find out what all of this artificial light at night is doing to moths, one of the nighttime's most important nocturnal pollinators. It also impacts the tiniest of insects, including those designed for dusk and darkness, in ways that aren't completely understood.įIU associate professor of biology Jamie Theobald and Ph.D. Artificial lights have led to light pollution-a problem that's been documented to disrupt or interfere with the behavior of animals including migrating birds and sea turtle hatchlings. ![]() ![]() While the original idea was to help enterprises move their virtual desktop environments from their data centers to the cloud, the pandemic brought a slew of new use cases to Windows Azure Virtual Desktop. No one at that time had any idea that this global pandemic was going to happen and that it would cause so many organizations around the world and millions of people to have to essentially leave the office and work from home - and the role the service would play in enabling a lot of that.” “And to be blunt, we looked at the service and what we were building, who we were building it for, pretty differently. “When we first went GA with Windows Virtual Desktop, about a year and a half ago, the world was a very different place,” said Kam VedBrat, Microsoft’s general manager for Azure Virtual Desktop. And so as the user base changed, Microsoft’s vision for the product changed as well, leading it to now changing its name from Windows Virtual Desktop to Azure Virtual Desktop. That’s pretty much what Microsoft saw, too, which had originally targeted Windows Virtual Desktop at some of the world’s largest enterprises. This is an important difference from WVD/AVD pricing, which revolves around Azure consumption.As remote work became the default for many companies during the pandemic, it’s maybe no surprise that services like Microsoft’s Windows Virtual Desktop, which gives users access to a fully managed Windows 10 desktop experience from virtually anywhere, saw a lot of interest from large enterprises and a new crop of small businesses that suddenly had to find ways to better support their remote workers. Microsoft plans to sell Cloud PC as a managed Microsoft 365 experience at a flat per-user price. Today's WVD/AVD announcements are not related to the expected launch of Microsoft's Cloud PC, its Azure and WVD-based virtualization service that is codenamed "Deschutes." Cloud PC is in private testing at this point and could launch later this summer, my sources say. This capability will enable customers to set up and kick off an AVD session in minutes from the Azure Portal. Quickstart deployment support: Coming soon in public preview. In addition, by automatically enrolling AVD virtual machines with Microsoft EndPoint Manager. Support for managing Windows 10 Enterprise multisession VMs with Microsoft EndPoint Manager: This capability is available now. At some point in the future, Microsoft is planning to add support for single sign-on and additional credential types like FIDO2 and Azure Files, officials said. Among them:Įnhanced Azure Active Directory support: Coming "soon" in public preview, this feature will allow customers to join their AVD virtual machines directly to Azure Active Directory and connect to the virtual machine from any device with basic credentials and without the need for an additional domain controller. Microsoft also will be adding a number of new features to AVD in the coming months. With the new ISV fixed per-user pricing, it will be much easier for them to design their solutions on top of AVD," said Joseph Landes, Chief Revenue Officer of IT management and automation vendor Nerdio. "We have been working with many ISVs who are trying to solve both the technical architecture and pricing model issues of moving to Azure Virtual Desktop. Update: One Microsoft partner was upbeat about the new pricing option. (For users who are part of a customer's or ISV's own organization, Microsoft is advising organizations to continue to use AVD via existing Windows license entitlements they have via Microsoft 365 E3 or Windows E3 and higher.) Again, this fee is for user-access rights only, meaning customers will need to continue to pay for the Azure compute, storage, and other services that power their apps. 1, 2022, this option will cost $5.50 per user per month for apps and $10 per user per month for apps plus desktop. 31, 2021, customers and ISVs can get this monthly-per-user option for no additional charge, though they still do need to continue to pay for the underlying Azure services upon which AVD relies. This will enable both IT departments and ISVs to use AVD as the underlying infrastructure for delivering apps as a service.ĭuring a promotion period, which runs from July 14 to Dec. Microsoft is enabling customers and ISVs to use AVD to stream desktops and applications to users outside their own organizations. The biggest of these coming features is a new pricing option for application streaming. On June 7, Microsoft officials unveiled the new, now-AVD-branded capabilities that Microsoft is readying to "establish broader outlines for the product," in the words of Kam VedBrat, General Manager of AVD. ![]() Please check out my other alternate build for set 21325 as well: Medieval Town Bundle Medieval Town Bundle 2 Medieval Church Medieval Street House Medieval House #2 Medieval Watermill Medieval Bakery Falconer's Fortress (+set 31120 and set 10281) Medieval Castle Gate (+ set 31120) Medieval Castle Keep (+ set 31120) Medieval Tavern (+ set 10281) Medieval Stables (+ set 10281) Medieval Guard Post (+ set 10281) Medieval House Medieval Windmill Medieval Barn Dragon Attack You can check out my other MOCs here.

Without these elements, he’s not sure if he would have branched out of his comfort zone and taken on leadership roles or given public presentations. Perhaps most importantly, Tsao credits those internships, organizations and his time at USC with building confidence in himself. “It really did reinforce my passion for public service and policy that addresses these intersectional, systemic issues.” Lessons learned and the road ahead for USC salutatorian “That was an incredible experience,” Tsao said. That internship ultimately led to another with then-U.S. That experience furthered his interest in social policy, which ultimately led him to an internship in his home state with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. “But it’s just been such a transformative experience for me that really reshaped how I think about equity, how I think about access and how I think about social policy.” “I came into college with no interest whatsoever in educational equity work,” Tsao said. He also joined the governing board of the USC Norman Topping Student Aid Fund, the student-funded and -administered scholarship for first-generation and low-income students. “That’s a really cool organization that helped me first define what policy was, but then I also learned how to approach these problems from a really structural perspective,” Tsao said. He knew he wanted to get involved with organizations that focus on policy, so he immediately joined the Roosevelt Network at USC, a progressive think tank on campus. Most might have felt disconnected from a school and classmates that were so far away, but Tsao made it a point to become familiar with organizations on campus as early as possible. He only had one full semester on campus before he was forced to head back to Wisconsin for roughly the next year and half. Much like others in the Class of 2023, Tsao saw the COVID-19 pandemic throw a wrench into his traditional college experience. “USC makes it really easy for that to happen.” “One thing that I really valued about my USC experience is that I’ve gotten to take classes all over the place,” Tsao said. USC makes it really easy for that to happen. I’ve gotten to take classes all over the place. ![]() As a history and social sciences major with an emphasis in economics and a minor in marine biology, Tsao said that the interdisciplinary education at USC was the strongest selling point. Tsao said that if he was going to pack up and go to school nearly 2,000 miles away, he was going to study everything that interested him and take full advantage of what the university has to offer. “I decided to leave home for the first time and give this a go, and I’m just so glad I did.” USC salutatorian: Taking the risk and diving in But at the urging of a neighbor - a Trojan alum - Tsao decided to apply.įour years after leaving his family, friends and everything he had known behind, Tsao is graduating with a degree from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and as a salutatorian for the Class of 2023. Coming from Madison, Wis., Tsao said applying to a school in California was not the norm USC wasn’t even on his radar. As much as he has loved his time at USC, Liam Tsao admits that it wasn’t always his dream school. In light of the constant flow of revelations that show just how much Facebook views our contributions to its database in terms of cold dollars and opportunity for monetization, it’s no surprise that turning your nostalgia into a digital economy was a cynical calculation from the start. Let’s be honest, oblivion is the fate this feature - and all of Facebook, really - deserves. I suspect if it hadn’t been spring break and Easter/Passover, there wouldn’t have been much new there at all. A recent scroll through mine showed some updated profile pictures, a handful of Instagram pictures that were cross-posted to Facebook and no less than five memories. I don’t know what’s happening on your feed, but it feels like we’re getting close. If at some point, when we stop posting anything new, Facebook will inevitably hit Peak Memory, and the site’s News Feed will collapse upon itself, a heap of re-posted content from the year before, the two years before, the four years before. The “Memories” feature might work in the short term to keep us coming back, to keep us re-posting, to keep retraining its algorithm as to what memories we really value but, long-term, it’s Facebook’s Ouruboros -the snake that eats its own tail. ![]() It’s a cheap ploy to keep us creating new posts, keep us interested, at a time when our interest is starting to drift away.Īnd my regular re-posting introduces a bit of a plot twist, here. Now, though, I think Memories is the platform’s most cynical element. Heck, I’ve re-posted it three years in a row. I mean, I have posted some hilarious things that my son said when he was little, and that time I went on a reporting trip to Area 51 was seriously cool. ![]() Her latest column is below.įacebook’s “Memories” feature - where it shows you pictures and posts from a day in the recent or far-gone past - used to be my favorite thing about the platform.
