This week NAWR hosted our final concert with The Swansea International Festival 2018. We were treated to two amazing performances from R.Seiliog and Accü. Check out my photos from the concert here.
Noah Veltman of Netflix has produced this nice data visualisation of how different news websites layout and priorise their editorial, ads and sponsored content.
Hen Ogledd have released their latest track Sky Burial and accompanying music video. Check out their upcoming tour dates for information on when you can see them live!
The Harvard Undergraduate Drummers (THUD) have produced this very good rendition of Journey's Don't Stop Believing. Yes, I know the song has been done to death, but this is an enjoyable cover :-)
We have 12 years to stop catastrophic climate change. The IPCC released their Global Warming of 1.5°C report which may well turn out to be one of the most important documents of modern times. The report describes the predicted effects of a 1.5°C increase in global temperature above the pre-industrial average versus a 2°C increase, written by 91 co-authors across 40 countries and backed by 6000 scientific references.
The Internet Archive have released a collection of communications recordings from the Apollo 11 mission. The recordings contain hours of everyday mundane (if you can call space travel mundane :-p) communications between the astronuats and ground control.
Boston Dynamics have released footage of Atlas doing parkour jumps from leg to leg! Also this week, researchers at Berkeley have developed the second iteration of a one legged jumping robot called Salto 1-P which can accurately control it's jumping patterns and trajectory.
Microsoft has joined the Open Innovation Network (OIN), an open source patent consortium. In joining the group, Microsoft has agreed to grant royalty free and unrestricted licence to its patents portfolio to other OIN members.
Google failed to disclose a potential Google+ data breach of users and have decided to close down consumer facing Google+. A bug in how third party developers use an API to access Google+ data was discovered which would have allowed private data to be accessed. There is no proof that any data breach occured because access logs for the API are only stored for two weeks.
This week NAWR welcomed Angharad Davies, Lee Patterson, Susan Matthews and Ian Holloway to the BBC Hall for our second concert with The Swansea International Festival. Both duos treated us to amazing performances, including our first controlled fire at NAWR! Check out the photos from the concert here.
