Broyles Special Activities and Innovation Operations Evaluation Group Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. However, unlike the last “sea change,” during the Cold War, when advanced technologies were developed primarily by the Department of Defense (DoD), the key technology enablers today are being developed mostly in the commercial world. This study looks at the state-of-the-art of AI, machine-learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. While no one can predict how AI will evolve or predict its impact on the development of military autonomous systems, it is possible to anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DoD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies.

Originally aired LIVE on September 13th, across the entire Hearst Television Station Group. The special, “Matter of Fact: State of Addiction,” is part of a year-long multi-platform news and investigative series, supplemented with community- based efforts, that Hearst Television launched in January 2017 to inform local audiences of the opioid crisis and efforts to develop solutions. “Matter of Fact: State of Addiction” will originate from the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where it will be hosted by award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien, who also hosts Hearst Television’s acclaimed weekly syndicated political magazine show “Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien.” The program however will venture far afield from Washington and will feature live inserts from the Hearst stations, interaction with the stations’ news anchors addressing the crisis in their respective markets, field reports from around the country, social-media elements to enable viewer engagement, and interviews – which will be confirmed closer to airdate -- with major national figures engaged with the crisis.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

    rev. hist. (São Paulo), n.179, a08819, 2020 Aléssio Alonso Alves http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.2316-9141.rh.2020.163855 Diliges proximum tuum te ipsum: Nature and Love as Foundations of Human Society in Preaching of Giordano de Pisa (14th Century) ARTICLE DILIGES PROXIMUM TUUM SICUT TE IPSUM: NATURE AND LOVE AS FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN SOCIETY IN THE PREACHING OF GIORDANO DE PISA (14TH CENTURY)1 Contact Aléssio Alonso Alves2 Marco Aurélio de Miranda, 171/202 30575-210 – Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais – Brazil Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais [email protected]/[email protected] Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais – Brazil Abstract The purpose of this article is to analyse how nature and love were presented and em- ployed as foundations of human society by the Dominican friar Giordano de Pisa (c. 1260- 1311) in his preaching in the early fourteenth-century Florence, Italy. It will be analysed the reportationes of three of his sermons preached on the same liturgical date (Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Sunday), between 1303 and 1305, which adopts as thema the verse Di- liges proximum tuum sicut te ipsum (Love your neighbour as yourself); a model-sermon of the same liturgical date (c. 1267-1286) by the also Dominican Iacopo de Varazze (1228-1298); and a homily of Augustine of Hippo (354-430) from the early fifth century. Thus, it is stres- sed that Giordano approached the subject both by the use of an Aristotelian-naturalist theory as well as by an Augustinian-voluntarist conception, and it is concluded that the greater emphasis given to the first line of thought is due to its more positive character as regards the city, which allowed a treatment more consistent with the preaching thema and with its internal composition mechanisms.

The reasons for this are of political, legal and practical nature. My analyses are based on an extensive evaluation of the economic conditions and the legal framework of European media, which I will apply to case studies of Germany, United Kingdom and France. Moreover I will consider the definition of media pluralism and the preconditions for the technological changes European media will be subjected to in the next couple of years. A new and revised European legal framework should allow these changes – to a certain extent – to happen instead of protecting outdated business models of “old media”. Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit zeige ich, dass ein auf supranationaler europäischer Rechtssetzung beruhender Ansatz der Harmonisierung von nationalen Regelungen zur Sicherung der Meinungsvielfalt in den Medien, wie er von der EU Kommission 1992 vorgeschlagen wurde, auch heute, in einer völlig veränderten europäischen Medienlandschaft nicht anwendbar ist.
