We mourn the loss of actor Donald Sutherland, a Victoria College graduate Vic 5T8. He received an honorary doctorate from U of T in 1998. We extend our condolences to his family and celebrate his extraordinary life and seven-decade career on stage and in television and movies.

I just realized that a few years ago, when @BrainStation acquired a Techvibes, a website that several authors like myself contributed to for free, they republished all of the content as their own blog, but without giving credit to the original authors of the content. Not cool.
I have about a dozen articles on this blog, that are now attributed to @BrainStation - as if they wrote them. I'm not asking for $, just credit for all of the work I did to develop the content. Isn't that fair?

Leylah Fernandez d. Beatriz Haddad Maia 7-5 5-7 6-3 in Montreal
In front of the home crowd, Leylah gave them absolutely everything she had.
She deserves so much respect for closing this match out.
This was a war.
And make no mistake, Leylah is a warrior.

Unbelievable!

“While embracing technological change is part of the human experience, when the pace of that change seems to ramp up exponentially, the rules and regulations meant to keep that technology in check can fall further and further behind.”
AI has changed the way we can imagine the world, but many questions lie within the ethical and legal boundaries of using it hls.harvard.edu/today/how-to…
