![]() This creates a convergence point between Australian and regional strategic interests. One key concern is that Australian nuclear-powered submarines may end up operating covertly within Southeast Asian states’ territorial waters.ĭespite the initial scepticism, Southeast Asian officials have quietly accepted that AUKUS is here to stay, and some are looking at drawing benefits from its existence. Underlining these concerns is the uncertainty expressed privately by several Southeast Asian defence officials as to whether nuclear-powered submarines will be a net contributor to Southeast Asian security or a source of instability that threatens their sovereignty. ![]() The emphasis given to acquiring nuclear-powered submarines under AUKUS has caused friction between Australia and several Southeast Asian states, drawing concerns that AUKUS could trigger an arms race and ratchet up military tensions in Asia. The Australian government’s 2023 Defence Strategic Review demonstrates this by calling for a senior official or officer to be appointed to focus on the implementation of this part of AUKUS. But the Albanese government and a number of security specialists have recognised the broader importance of Pillar Two. Perhaps the focus on nuclear submarines is unavoidable. Even the joint statement by the three leaders focussed mainly on submarine-related issues. The AUKUS leaders’ joint statement in March 2023 was issued at Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego, California with warships in the background. Many of these technologies are just as crucial to Australia as the nuclear submarines, but it’s the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines has received most of the public’s attention. Pillar Two focusses on developing advanced technologies in several areas, including artificial intelligence (AI), hypersonic missiles, undersea capabilities, cyberspace and electronic warfare. This is one area in which Australia can leverage AUKUS to cement its defence relations with Southeast Asia. But Australia will also receive advanced technologies under Pillar Two of the deal. The AUKUS agreement between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia significantly shifts Australia’s defence strategy and future capabilities by providing the opportunity for Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines.

Before you start brainstorming, we recommend checking out this complete guide on how to write the “Why us?” essay. This prompt is your classic “Why us?” essay, with a Brown-specific twist that asks you to focus on one aspect of Brown: its renowned Open Curriculum program. As part of your answer, be sure to articulate how you might contribute to the Dual Degree community and its commitment to interdisciplinary work. The Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program draws on the complementary strengths of Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to provide students with the opportunity to explore diverse spheres of academic and creative inquiry, culminating in a capstone project that interrelates the content, approaches, and methods from two distinct learning experiences.īased on your understanding of the academic programs at Brown and RISD and the possibilities created by the BRDD program's broadened learning community, specifically describe how and why the BRDD program would constitute an optimal undergraduate education for you.

(200-250 words)īrown students care deeply about their work and the world around them. Share how an aspect of your growing up has inspired or challenged you, and what unique contributions this might allow you to make to the Brown community. Students entering Brown often find that making their home on College Hill naturally invites reflection on where they came from. Tell us about any academic interests that excite you, and how you might pursue them at Brown. Brown's Open Curriculum allows students to explore broadly while also diving deeply into their academic pursuits. I couldn’t understand his thick Scottish accent so the others had to translate. They were easy to record, as Paul Thomson is a fantastic drummer. I cleaned up all the instruments and made them very tight with the drums to give the song that mechanical feel. We used Pro Tools editing to fix mistakes. Very few musicians can play well to a click track, and natural tempo changes in a song can be great. We recorded as live as possible, without a click track to keep us in tempo. It was nice to be home but it had also been hard to find a similar studio in the UK for the same money. We recorded at Gula Studion in my home town, Malmö in Sweden, which had a great 1970s console and a big sounding room. I wanted to give listeners the loudness of a live gig. The main thing I added was an aggressive sound. ![]() I’d been much more creative when I produced the Cardigans. I think that got me the job of producing them, but I didn’t have to change much. ![]() Before working with them, I saw the band live and told them I liked the Talking Heads vibe some songs had and suggested we explore that. Otherwise, Take Me Out was great on the demo and already had the marvellous intro in a different tempo. It was a good hook but I thought it sounded like a bagpipe melody. I don’t remember hating Take Me Out! But I certainly didn’t like the famous guitar riff. Photograph: Tabatha Fireman/Redferns Tore Johansson, producer When we recorded it, Tore Johansson, the producer, hated it and kept asking: “Why are we recording this? The other songs are so much better.”įranz Ferdinand at the Mercury Music awards in 2014. When you come up with a song like that, the dreamer in you is thinking: “One day, we’ll play this in Mexico City.” But the realist thinks, “We’ll press up 500 copies and sell 35”, which is what had happened with all the other bands I’d been in. The first time we played the whole song in the rehearsal room, I joked: “This would sound really good on the radio.” But I was thinking of a session on John Peel or something – if we were lucky. We thought it would be funny to spoof the sounds you got on Queen records or the beginning of Eye of the Tiger. The short staccato bursts of sound – where you hit a cymbal and hold it to stop it resonating – came about because Bob Hardy, our bass-player, had read an article about “sports rock”, the music played at sports games in the US. The tempo of the chorus was much slower than the verse, so I suggested playing all the verses at the beginning, but slower, then the choruses. ![]() The “I know I won’t be leaving here with you” section formed a bridge between the verse and chorus, but when we rehearsed it with the band, it didn’t sound right. ![]() To save time and resource, it simply removes the file's reference from the directories (that's why your deleted browsing history seems to be gone) and moves the actual information contained in the file to a special area, called free space, on your computer's hard drive where it will be overwritten by new files over time. Now, the problem is that when you "delete" a file in Windows (it doesn't matter if it's a photo, a financial plan, or a cache file), the operating system doesn't bother shredding the sensitive information (overwriting it with random data). Like I said, your browsing history includes the cache files. So after a while the cache folder turns into a digital travel diary that has a record of every websites you have ever visited and the activities you have performed on those sites. However, please keep in mind that your browser caches everything it encounters just in case it needs to use that item again, be it a logo, an image, a photo, a video, a podcast, a site URL and so on. That's a really nice feature that speeds up browsing a great deal. The way your browser is "thinking" is this: Why don't we save the permanent page elements to the computer so we don't need to download them again and again from the remote Amazon server when the guy returns to the site? The site also displays hundreds of products that are likely to stay on the site for some, or a long time to come. The site has a distinctive brand logo, a checkout cart, a sign-in box and many other items that remain unchanged anytime you visit the site. So what are the cache files and what do they do? Let's say you visit for the very first time. The type of files we need to focus on now is the cache files, because they are easy to recover and once recovered, they can reveal unauthorized parties basically everything about your Internet activities. Your browsing history is made up of various items, such as, site URLs, cookies, cache files, download list, search history and so on. Why is it so? Let's explore how Windows deletes confidential information and you'll know the answer in a short while.īut first, let's have a look at what browsing history actually is. In technical terms, your deleted browsing history can be recovered by unauthorized parties, even after you cleared them. Even though the folder is gone from the direct view of unwanted people, but the documents still exist and can easily be found with a bit of extra effort. Use the Firefox 3.I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but when you clear your history to keep your browsing activities confidential, it's like moving a folder full of confidential documents from your desk into the desk's drawer.

![]() Warning: Using a password to sign in will not sync the existing mailbox (from another device) to the new device. Because I was testing the service, I used the desktop app's approval method to sign in. The mobile app prompted me to use the desktop client to approve the sign in, but it did offer an option to sign in with my password. So, I disabled the internet on my laptop and tried to sign in to the same account on my phone. Since the account credentials part is not cloud based, I wanted to see how I could sign in to an existing account on a new device. This is only required to reset the password of your account. Note: While signing up for an account, you can optionally enter a recovery email address. Once you do, the application begins creating the encryption/decryption keys for your account on your device. You need to install the desktop program or the mobile app and use it to sign up. ![]() Tip: You can tell whether an email is encrypted or not, by looking for the padlock icon. So, if you use it to send mails to other services (Gmail, Outlook, etc), those will not be encrypted. The important thing to note here is that the service only encrypts mails sent by one Criptext user to another. Attachments are encrypted as well they are stored on Criptext's Amazon Web Services servers though the encryption keys for those are saved on user devices. Encrypted mailsĬriptext says that every email is encrypted with a unique key. If it isn't delivered within 30 days, it's deleted from the server as well. The email is stored on the server until it is delivered in this case. ![]() The only exception to this is when the message is un-deliverable say when the recipient's device is offline. How does this work? According to the official documentation, Criptext passes the mail through their server for a moment and it's deleted once the mail is delivered. It is not cloud-based like Gmail or Outlook Criptext emails are not stored on servers permanently, they are only stored on your device using end-to-end encryption. There is something you should know about Criptext. (Okay, I know I just said I won't compare the two, but this is the only time I do it in the article). The applications for Criptext are open-source, but the servers are not. Before we get started, allow me to say that this article isn't about Criptext vs Protonmail, so we're not going to discuss which one's better. ![]() Basically they were saying that if I did not give them my credit card details then they could not validate my purchase as they would not have a valid credit card (their words) to renew at the end of the year - precisely what I was trying to avoid in purchasing from Amazon. Got into trouble the moment I tried to redeem the purchase on the Adobe website. If I want to renew at the end of the year then I will choose to renew by myself. ![]() So, I purchased from Amazon (at a little additional cost) so that I would buy ONLY a one year subscription. Have you ever tried cancelling it? They make it incredibly arduous to the point of being almost impossible to cancel. I have experienced giving my credit card details to American IT companies before (Network Solutions in my case) and invoking an "auto renew" relationship. But, I was massively disappointed about the big brother bullying tactics employed by Adobe (although if you pushed me I would agree, not entirely Amazon's fault!). Slightly unusual for a one star rating, I absolutely love the product: everything I was expecting (and more).

Jan Hooks from the Atlanta-based sketch show Tush rounds out the cast, securing the spot that she initially lost to Joan Cusack the year before in one of SNL's rare examples of righting a wrong. With Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn, and Dennis Miller being the lucky (if unsurprising) few to evade the chopping block over the summer break, the show decided to match their comedy chops with a cast who would have guaranteed success with the art-form, prioritizing known talent over the botched optimism of Season 11's efforts to harness celebrity or bring alternative talent to center-stage. ![]() Having endured one of the most disastrous seasons of its entire run, SNL pulled one of the greatest tricks in its playbook: make the audience forget about last year with some dramatic course-correction. ![]() Osisko would like to extend its congratulations to Agnico and the Canadian Malartic team on this remarkable achievement. On June 28th Canadian Malartic reached a milestone by pouring its seven millionth gold ounce since achieving commercial production in 2011. Notably, gold production from the Odyssey mine via the ramp from Odyssey South in the second quarter of 2023 totaled 6,747 ounces. Preparations for in-pit tailings disposal have commenced, which is expected to start in the second half of 2024. The majority of the gold produced during the period was sourced from the Barnat pit, with the Canadian Malartic pit having finally been depleted in the second quarter of 2023. On July 26 th, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”) announced second quarter 2023 gold production from the Canadian Malartic Complex (“Canadian Malartic”) of 177,755 ounces.

As such, we now are guiding towards the low end of our GEO delivery guidance for 2023.” While we anticipate improved quarter-over-quarter performance at several of our core producing assets, Renard will continue to be impacted by weak rough diamond prices and, as a result, Osisko is assuming no reportable GEOs from Renard in Q4. These include the forest fires in northern Canada, other ongoing ramp-up issues, and a notable sharp decline in rough diamond prices. ![]() Paul Martin, Interim CEO of Osisko, commented: “Osisko delivered a solid quarter of GEOs earned, along with record revenues and cash margin in Q3 despite challenges faced by some of our key operating partners over the past several months. Osisko’s cash balance was relatively stable at the end of the third quarter at approximately $70.8 million, resulting in a net debt position of approximately $244.6 million as at September 30, 2023, representing an improvement of $5.0 million despite additional investments in royalties completed during the quarter. Osisko recorded preliminary revenues from royalties and streams of $62.1 million during the third quarter and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) of $4.4 million, resulting in a record quarterly cash margin 2 of approximately $57.7 million (or 93%). Osisko earned approximately 23,292 attributable gold equivalent ounces 1 (“GEOs”) in the third quarter of 2023, including 1,386 GEOs earned from the recently acquired CSA silver stream.
