Windfall Geotek Completes Soil Program and 43-101 on Sobeski Lake Property in the Red Lake Area – Junior Mining Network

Highlights:

Sobeski area is near the northeastern tip of the Red Lake Greenstone Belt (RLGB) and the southern end of the Nungesser Lake Greenstone Belt (NLGB)

497 Soil samples taken, some returned values as high as 640 PPB; One large gold-in-soil anomaly with several smaller outlier anomalies

Windfalls AI generated targets in the area were validated in this program along with obtaining a 43-101 on the property

Brossard, Quebec - TheNewswire - Oct 14, 2021 Windfall Geotek (TSXV:WIN) (OTC:WINKF) (FSE:L7C2) a leader in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with advanced knowledge-extraction techniques since 2005 in the mining sector is pleased to announce the filing on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) of the new NI 43-101 report on its 100% owned Sobeski Lake property. Windfall initially identified highly prospective targets on the property and elected to conduct and complete a soil campaign that validated the AI targets in the summer of 2021.

Exploration Summary

Since acquiring the Sobeski Lake Property, Windfall has completed a soil sampling program. A total of 497 samples were taken. The objective of the program was to determine if there were coincident gold-in-soil anomalies over the statistical analysis of the area using Windfalls proprietary AI system that led Windfall to stake the area. The program was designed to cover the AI targets seen in Figure 1. The results of this program were successful as anomalous gold-in-soil samples returned values as high a 640-ppb gold (Figure 2). One large gold-in-soil anomaly was outlined with several smaller outlier anomalies detected.

Geology Context

The Sobeski Lake Property lies at the junction of the northeastern tip of the Red Lake Greenstone Belt (RLGB) of the Uchi Subprovince and the southern end of the Nungesser Lake Greenstone Belt (NLGB) of the Berens River Subprovince. Both Subprovinces belong to the Superior Province of Canada. The Property appears to be underlain by a variety of granitoid intrusive rocks making up the marginal zone between the Trout Lake batholith to the South and the Little Vermilion batholith to the north. The current property boundary mapped the following rock types: 1) Mafic volcanic rocks consisting of medium-grained, schistose with black amphibolite; 2) Clastic metasediments (arkose and greywacke) which grade into biotite gneisses and migmatites and 3) Felsic intrusive rocks of a granite to granodiorite suite (Modified from NI 43-101 Report, Kilbourne, M. &, MacLachlan, B., August 15, 2021).

Reimagining our pandemic problems with the mindset of an engineer – MIT Technology Review

The last 20 months turned every dog into an amateur epidemiologist and statistician. Meanwhile, a group of bona fide epidemiologists and statisticians came to believe that pandemic problems might be more effectively solved by adopting the mindset of an engineer: that is, focusing on pragmatic problem-solving with an iterative, adaptive strategy to make things work.

In a recent essay, Accounting for uncertainty during a pandemic, the researchers reflect on their roles during a public health emergency and on how they could be better prepared for the next crisis. The answer, they write, may lie in reimagining epidemiology with more of an engineering perspective and less of a pure science perspective.

Epidemiological research informs public health policy and its inherently applied mandate for prevention and protection. But the right balance between pure research results and pragmatic solutions proved alarmingly elusive during the pandemic.

We have to make practical decisions, so how much does the uncertainty really matter?

I always imagined that in this kind of emergency, epidemiologists would be useful people, Jon Zelner, a coauthor of the essay, says. But our role has been more complex and more poorly defined than I had expected at the outset of the pandemic. An infectious disease modeler and social epidemiologist at the University of Michigan, Zelner witnessed an insane proliferation of research papers, many with very little thought about what any of it really meant in terms of having a positive impact.

There were a number of missed opportunities, Zelner sayscaused by missing links between the ideas and tools epidemiologists proposed and the world they were meant to help.

Coauthor Andrew Gelman, a statistician and political scientist at Columbia University, set out the bigger picture in the essays introduction. He likened the pandemics outbreak of amateur epidemiologists to the way war makes every citizen into an amateur geographer and tactician: Instead of maps with colored pins, we have charts of exposure and death counts; people on the street argue about infection fatality rates and herd immunity the way they might have debated wartime strategies and alliances in the past.

And along with all the data and public discourseAre masks still necessary? How long will vaccine protection last?came the barrage of uncertainty.

In trying to understand what just happened and what went wrong, the researchers (who also included Ruth Etzioni at the University of Washington and Julien Riou at the University of Bern) conducted something of a reenactment. They examined the tools used to tackle challenges such as estimating the rate of transmission from person to person and the number of cases circulating in a population at any given time. They assessed everything from data collection (the quality of data and its interpretation were arguably the biggest challenges of the pandemic) to model design to statistical analysis, as well as communication, decision-making, and trust. Uncertainty is present at each step, they wrote.

And yet, Gelman says, the analysis still doesnt quite express enough of the confusion I went through during those early months.

One tactic against all the uncertainty is statistics. Gelman thinks of statistics as mathematical engineeringmethods and tools that are as much about measurement as discovery. The statistical sciences attempt to illuminate whats going on in the world, with a spotlight on variation and uncertainty. When new evidence arrives, it should generate an iterative process that gradually refines previous knowledge and hones certainty.

Good science is humble and capable of refining itself in the face of uncertainty.

Susan Holmes, a statistician at Stanford who was not involved in this research, also sees parallels with the engineering mindset. An engineer is always updating their picture, she saysrevising as new data and tools become available. In tackling a problem, an engineer offers a first-order approximation (blurry), then a second-order approximation (more focused), and so on.

Gelman, however, has previously warned that statistical science can be deployed as a machine for laundering uncertaintydeliberately or not, crappy (uncertain) data are rolled together and made to seem convincing (certain). Statistics wielded against uncertainties are all too often sold as a sort of alchemy that will transform these uncertainties into certainty.

We witnessed this during the pandemic. Drowning in upheaval and unknowns, epidemiologists and statisticiansamateur and expert alikegrasped for something solid as they tried to stay afloat. But as Gelman points out, wanting certainty during a pandemic is inappropriate and unrealistic. Premature certainty has been part of the challenge of decisions in the pandemic, he says. This jumping around between uncertainty and certainty has caused a lot of problems.

Letting go of the desire for certainty can be liberating, he says. And this, in part, is where the engineering perspective comes in.

For Seth Guikema, co-director of the Center for Risk Analysis and Informed Decision Engineering at the University of Michigan (and a collaborator of Zelners on other projects), a key aspect of the engineering approach is diving into the uncertainty, analyzing the mess, and then taking a step back, with the perspective We have to make practical decisions, so how much does the uncertainty really matter? Because if theres a lot of uncertaintyand if the uncertainty changes what the optimal decisions are, or even what the good decisions arethen thats important to know, says Guikema. But if it doesnt really affect what my best decisions are, then its less critical.

For instance, increasing SARS-CoV-2 vaccination coverage across the population is one scenario in which even if there is some uncertainty regarding exactly how many cases or deaths vaccination will prevent, the fact that it is highly likely to decrease both, with few adverse effects, is motivation enough to decide that a large-scale vaccination program is a good idea.

An engineer is always updating their picture.

Engineers, Holmes points out, are also very good at breaking problems down into critical pieces, applying carefully selected tools, and optimizing for solutions under constraints. With a team of engineers building a bridge, there is a specialist in cement and a specialist in steel, a wind engineer and a structural engineer. All the different specialties work together, she says.

For Zelner, the notion of epidemiology as an engineering discipline is something he picked up from his father, a mechanical engineer who started his own company designing health-care facilities. Drawing on a childhood full of building and fixing things, his engineering mindset involves tinkeringrefining a transmission model, for instance, in response to a moving target.

Often these problems require iterative solutions, where youre making changes in response to what does or doesnt work, he says. You continue to update what youre doing as more data comes in and you see the successes and failures of your approach. To me, thats very differentand better suited to the complex, non-stationary problems that define public healththan the kind of static one-and-done image a lot of people have of academic science, where you have a big idea, test it, and your result is preserved in amber for all time.

Apple rehires former HomePod engineer to get its software back on track – The Verge

Apple has hired a former HomePod engineer, Afrooz Family, to head up the team developing HomePod software, according to Bloomberg, which could signal a renewed effort from Apple to make the HomePod more competitive. The company released HomePod software version 15 in September, bringing some welcome features like the ability to use one or a pair of HomePod Mini speakers as the default with an Apple TV 4K. But Apples smart speaker line faces stiff competition, particularly from Amazons and Googles speakers that are equipped with their smart assistants.

Family left Apple in 2016, where he was a senior audio engineer, to co-found audio company Syng with ex-Apple designer Christopher Stringer. (A Financial Times article about Syng described Family as the companys secret weapon.) Syngs claim to fame is its Cell Alpha connected speaker, which offers spatial audio in a Death Star-like design, but it comes with a steep $1,799 price tag. Family left Syng earlier this year, Bloomberg reports.

The first HomePod, which was released in 2018, was lauded for its sound quality but was criticized for its high price, and Apple discontinued it in March. The company released the cheaper and smaller HomePod Mini last year.

Apple didnt immediately reply to a request for comment.

Computer Science and CET still the most preferred among engineering aspirants in Kerala – The Hindu

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) remains the most preferred engineering branch in the State, thanks to a resurgent campus placement trend boosted by the technology sector.

College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram (CET), followed by Government Engineering College (GEC), Thrissur, and TKM College of Engineering, Kollam, also continued to hold sway over engineering and architecture aspirants.

The first phase of allotments has reaffirmed the status quo that has existed as far as students priorities are concerned for several years. State merit seats in CSE were filled with students having ranks up to 95 in the CET. The corresponding ranks in GEC Thrissur and TKM College of Engineering were 265 and 468 respectively.

Jiji C.V., Principal of CET, which recorded over 200% placements last year, said the long-standing demand for Computer Science and related streams has been reinforced by the current trend in campus recruitments. This year too, 56 placements have already been recorded by the seventh-semester CSE batch. These includes two students who have received placements by Amazon, which has offered an annual package of 32 lakh, and five by Oracle for 16.64 lakh per annum.

The other engineering streams that found takers in order of priority were Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering. The last State merit seat to be filled among government and government aided colleges was allotted to 7762nd rank-holder for the Instrumentation and Control Engineering stream at the NSS College of Engineering, Palakkad.

Government Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara, functioning under the Institute of Human Resource Development (IHRD), has remained the most attractive option among government-controlled self-financing colleges.

Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, Kochi, shone bright among private colleges. The college that had received autonomous status last year, received State merit students up to 2673rd rank.

While the available seats of most courses in government and government aided engineering colleges have already been filled, the allotments could witness further movement in next rounds with many students who have joined CET and other top colleges likely to seek admission in IITs, NITs as well as medical colleges.

WhatsApp to bring in encryption for backup chats after privacy fears – The Guardian

WhatsApp is allowing users to encrypt their backed-up chats, making them unreadable without access to a password or 64-digit encryption key.

Facebook, the messaging apps owner, said from Thursday some users would be able to fully encrypt messages stored on Google Drive or Apples iCloud. The company said it would be introducing the feature slowly to people with the latest version of WhatsApp.

The move comes against a backdrop of concern about the safety of backed-up messages. In May, WhatsApp sued the Indian government over new IT laws that include putting messages into a traceable database. The government would then be able to identify and act against the sender if any content was ruled unlawful. India is WhatsApps largest market.

Facebook said users could hold their own encryption key, preventing a scenario whereby a cloud service provider could be forced to hand the key to authorities. It said: You can now secure your end-to-end encrypted backup with either a password of your choice, or a 64-digit encryption key that only you know. Neither WhatsApp nor your backup service provider will be able to read your backups or access the key required to unlock it.

WhatsApp messages sent and received on mobile devices are already end-to-end encrypted, with the latest feature designed to reassure people who back up their messages on cloud services in case they lose their phone. The feature can be activated by opening the apps settings, tapping on chats, then chats backup and end-to-end encrypted backup.

Facebooks plans gradually to introduce end-to-end encryption across its suite of services, which also include Instagram and Facebook Messenger, have previously been criticised by the government. The home secretary, Priti Patel, has said it would put children at risk and offer a hiding place for abusers and other criminals.

In June, the Home Office said the government was in favour of strong encryption to protect citizens from harm online but was concerned that Facebooks implementation of the technology would blind law enforcements ability to access content.

WhatsApps more than 2 billion users send more than 100bn messages a day. Speaking in September, when the proposal was announced, to the US technology blog The Verge, WhatsApps chief executive, Will Cathcart, said: I believe strongly that governments should be pushing us to have more security and not do the opposite.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebooks chief executive, also speaking in September, said: WhatsApp is the first global messaging service at this scale to offer end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups, and getting there was a really hard technical challenge that required an entirely new framework for key storage and cloud storage across operating systems.

WhatsApp end-to-end encrypted backups are rolling out on both Android and iOS – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com

Starting today, WhatsApp is adding end-to-end encryption to your cloud backups on both Android and iOS. While WhatsApp itself has been end-to-end encrypted by default for the past five years, until now if you chose to backup your chats to Google Drive (from the Android version of WhatsApp) or iCloud (if you're on iOS), those backups wouldn't be encrypted.

Now, however, you can turn on end-to-end encryption for your backups. The way WhatsApp owner Facebook describes this in its announcement, it seems like it won't be on by default but you'll have to actively choose to enable it by going to Settings > Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-end Encrypted Backup.

When you do that, you'll need to use either a password of your choice or a 64-digit encryption key that only you know. Once you set all that up, neither WhatsApp nor Google or Apple will be able to read your backups without your key or password.

Facebook rightly points out that WhatsApp is the only global messaging service to provide such a level of security at such a scale. The new feature allowing for end-to-end encryption of backups will be rolling out slowly to those with the latest version of WhatsApp for Android or iOS.
