LACHLAN Bertram was everywhere for his side as the Mandurah Magic defeated the South West Slammers by 24 points to kick off the ANZAC Round in the NBL1 West Men’s last night. Kicking off the action for the long weekend was a clash between two sides in very different form to start the season at Mandurah Aquatic and Rec Centre on Thursday night. The Magic had placed themselves nicely to start the season, winning three of their first four games and sitting pretty in the top rung of the standings. On the other hand, the Slammers had struggled throughout their start to the fixture, still searching for their first win. As expected, the Magic were simply too good for South West, jumping out to an early lead and never looking back from there. Mandurah led by 20 points at the main change, and although the Slammers improved in the second half, it was too little too late as the home side cruised home to a big win to improve to a record of 4-1. The performance of Bertram was critical within the context of the match, and he produced one of the best outings of his career. The Magic have been red hot to start the 2025 season, and it is largely due to the fact that anyone on their roster can produce a standout performance, with Bertram stepping up on this occasion. He recorded his first basket of the match a few minutes into the piece, attacking the rim and finishing at the cup to continue Mandurah’s impressive opening term performance. He backed it up with a floater a couple of minutes later, finding holes in the defence and punishing the opposition accordingly. A trip to the free throw line late in the frame saw Bertram continue to make an impact on the offensive end and he got involved on the passing front too, finding a cutting Cooper Lowe to cap off a productive quarter from the 23-year-old. He was subbed out of the game to start the second period, but returned a few minutes into the quarter, and knocked down his first three-pointer of the match and really begin to assert himself as the dominant player of the game so far. Bertram nailed yet another pair of three-pointers a few minutes later to help Mandurah take a massive lead into the main break. There was no slowing down for Bertram in the third quarter, with the young gun continuing to make an impact with ball in hand. He attacked the basket downhill again to open the frame, before splashing home a fourth triple in a mesmerising offensive display. With Mandurah leading by so much, it could afford to rest Bertram, although he did return to the fray late in the third to hit his fifth triple and fire up the crowd. Although he was quieter in the final period, the game was already decided as the Magic cruised home on the back of his huge performance. Bertram finished the game with 25 points on 8/14 shooting from the field and 5/10 shooting from behind the arc, in a performance that is hopefully a sign of things to come. MELBOURNE Tigers star Jack Purchase has etched his name in the history books, posting a record-breaking 55 points in the loss to the Eltham Wildcats in the NBL1 South Men’s over the weekend.

Inspired by findings from the NEA arts and technology field scan conducted in partnership with Knight Foundation and Ford Foundation we aim to increase public awareness of creative approaches to technology that engage local communities and increase digital skills through the arts Here is our conversation with poet Lillian-Yvonne Bertram who directs the MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Maryland LILLIAN-YVONNE BERTRAM: I am a poet and artist who specializes in computational poetics and using AI in the composition of new works I also direct the MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Maryland I am the author of the books But a Storm is Blowing from Paradise NEA: Tell us about a specific program (or other work) you are involved in which supports artist-driven explorations of technology.  BERTRAM: With my colleague Carly Schnitzler at Johns Hopkins University we co-coordinate a working group called If The group holds monthly virtual workshop meetings for poets and creative technologists who are working in the areas of digital and computational poetics In some of these sessions an invited artist leads a generative workshop on their practice Other sessions are open mics where members of the community share their works in progress This group started early in the pandemic as a way of bringing together the dispersed national and international community of digital poets and creative technologists NEA: Was there a specific interest or experience that led you to including technology in your arts practice?  BERTRAM: I have always been at least tangentially interested in the role technology could play in an arts practice though I did not always know how or in what way or even what types of technology would be suitable for creative writing I have taken cues from the history of innovative and avant-garde writing practices where practitioners in groups like the Oulipo or Dada were using randomization–like throwing dice–to choose words and phrases for poems Something like a dice throw or generating random numbers can easily be approximated by a computer program allowing writers and artists to use these previously analog methods on a larger scale My first experiments with computer coding and programming involved composing poems using randomized dice throws NEA: Can you share an example of how your practice raises the public’s awareness or understanding of the responsible use of AI in the field of arts?  BERTRAM: My writing practice and various projects have included the use of generated text in the form of Large Language Models I began working with early versions of GPT (the architecture that underlies the ChatGPTs) in or around 2017 From the start of my working with these models I was interested in gauging what it had “learned” about things like anti-Blackness it wasn’t so great at dealing with these kinds of questions and ideas and would generate cliched and biased narratives for people of color A Black Story May Contain Sensitive Content It compares different instances of the GPTs as a way to demonstrate the inherent biases of the models and the limitations in the model’s ability to construct narratives I like to think that it serves as a type of caution sign for people to be aware that while large language models seem smart NEA: Has technology always been a core interest to your work or practice Is there a specific experience or cross-sector arts and technology collaboration that was largely influential BERTRAM: While technology as such wasn’t always part of my practice innovation and pushing the boundaries have been Long before I was able to write programs that created new ways for me to compose poems I work with language as a material and have always been interested in the way this material can be arranged Poet William Carlos Williams is known for having said that “a poem is a small (or large) machine made of words,” and one of my first computational projects was indeed a poetry machine I programmed a small receipt printer to print poems from randomized lines of one of my books of poetry You pressed a button and out came a receipt with a poem on it I learned how to do this project by taking workshops and getting connected with what was then the local makerspace.  NEA: How can individuals or organizations get involved with this work and how can they explore these tools/activities even on a modest budget or with more limited resources?  BERTRAM: Reach out to artist co-ops and makerspaces In my experience these places can be sensitive to budget limitations and may be able to put together some specific programming for an organization.  NEA: Are there other resources you'd recommend BERTRAM: Everyone should check out the School for Poetic Computation in New York They offer in-person and virtual classes on all sorts of ways to integrate technology and art into one’s practice.  There is also the Electronic Literature Organization which has a lot of historical information about the history of digital poetics There is usually always someone doing something cool with arts and technology in these spaces–my work would not have been possible without the makerspace and makerspaces usually offer classes or demonstrations and can help orient you to the right direction and resources Folks should first look within one’s community to make connections and explore partnerships–there is a lot going on in these spaces Jax Deluca oversees the NEA’s grant portfolio and resources focused on supporting the diverse ecology of film and media arts ecosystems

newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network Metrics details An Author Correction to this article was published on 27 August 2024 This article has been updated Despite faster-than-expected progress in clean energy technology deployment global annual CO2 emissions have increased from 2020 to 2023 The feasibility of limiting warming to 1.5 °C is therefore questioned Here we present a model intercomparison study that accounts for emissions trends until 2023 and compares cost-effective scenarios to alternative scenarios with institutional geophysical and technological feasibility constraints and enablers informed by previous literature Our results show that the most ambitious mitigation trajectories with updated climate information still manage to limit peak warming to below 1.6 °C (‘low overshoot’) with around 50% likelihood decrease this maximum likelihood considerably to 5–45% Accelerated energy demand transformation can reduce costs for staying below 2 °C but have only a limited impact on further increasing the likelihood of limiting warming to 1.6 °C Our study helps to establish a new benchmark of mitigation scenarios that goes beyond the dominant cost-effective scenario design especially in countries that lack the governance and institutional capabilities to enforce regulation in other policy domains (such as taxation or environmental regulation) Scaling of carbon prices relative to the maximum Maximum relative yearly reduction of fossil fuel and industry CO2 emissions Regions with identical values are highlighted by additional region labels The thin grey lines in each panel indicate the settings under the assumptions of frozen governance so without improvement of the governance indicators across regions To explore implications of feasibility constraints on the cost and achievability of climate targets we first explore carbon prices to limit cumulative CO2 emissions from all sectors from 2018 until the time of net-zero to 1,000 Gt CO2 (this section) and then explore minimum achievable cumulative CO2 emissions across different feasibility-scenario variants (following section) The fact that the Tech and Enablers and Institutional scenario explicitly considers feasibility constraints implies that such a scenario represents a more plausible pathway towards climate-target achievement than the Cost-effective setting that so far has dominated most scenario analyses The implications on regional emissions trajectories including regional reductions until 2040 and net-zero dates and technology choice of this difference are explored in detail in a parallel publication currently in preparation (E Likelihoods all assume the median of non-CO2 contribution towards peak warming full symbols in the middle show the default assumption of combined differentiation of carbon prices and emissions-reduction quantities whereas the four options on the left with open points show the results assuming no improvement of institutional capacity over time The open points on the right side show the more optimistic assumption of only differentiated carbon prices but without the explicit emissions-reduction constraints Under the default specification of dynamically improving governance scores for the institutional constraint POLES and WITCH at the more pessimistic high end of the carbon budget and temperature range With the most pessimistic assumptions on technological and socio-cultural constraints (Tech and Institutional) they cluster around 900–1,000 and 550–700 Gt CO2 which corresponds to either around 40% probability of staying below 1.8 °C or around 75% With the more optimistic assumptions on technological and/or socio-cultural constraints the range of likelihood to stay below 1.8 °C reaches 50–90% which corresponds to a 15–50% likelihood of staying below 1.6 °C some but not all models still reach the C1 class of scenarios from IPCC AR6 (defined as having >50% likelihood of a peak below 1.6 °C) all models running scenarios with enablers and this more optimistic institutional constraint achieve scenarios in the C1 class this model projects what are probably unrealistically high rates of growth of fossil CCS to 2030 based on the recent track record of those technologies AIM thus projects a very slow phase out of unabated fossil fuels in electricity generation in the Tech scenario causing most of the more than 300 Gt CO2 higher emissions in the Tech scenario compared with the Cost-effective scenario make clear that to bring temperatures down to below 1.5 °C after such an overshoot a substantial amount of several hundreds of Gt CO2 per 0.1 °C of overshoot will need to be removed from the atmosphere Reducing demand and increasing electrification while not being sufficient alone to avoid overshoot will be very helpful when it comes to reducing temperatures from such an overshoot as reduced demand for energy services leaves more energy and materials available for carbon dioxide removal This is particularly important in the presence of technological geophysical and institutional constraints limiting the availability of bioenergy and CCS and their viability in certain regions Our study provides an innovative addition to the scenario literature in that it explicitly considers harmonized feasibility constraints along various dimensions The results show that technological constraints are not the most critical concern for mitigation given the latest acceleration of observed deployment in key mitigation technologies and faster demand-side transformation towards electrification can help to lower the achievable lowest peak temperatures for a given set of assumptions Our results show that explicit consideration of institutional constraints allows for delineating a plausible The nuanced results show that both the assumptions on the relationship between government effectiveness and feasible mitigation ambition and the built-in model difference have an impact on results it is important to keep in mind that we have not considered the potential economic or political costs of faster technological transformation and reduced demand in high governance regions nor have we considered an explicit feedback of enablers on allowing for faster relaxation of the institutional constraints The protocol differentiates between two different peak temperature objectives and six different assumptions about feasibility explores the combination of the institutional and technical constraints with the socio-cultural enablers Government effectiveness is a result of certain governance and institutional characteristics to which we refer to as ‘institutional capacity’ given that many governance structures are driven by institutions we here use only carbon prices to have a more manageable transparent and easier reproducible harmonized scenario design across models we use the same carbon price threshold levels across models despite models differing in the price level required to reach a given target vary by model given that they are calculated based on the regionally average governance indicator using population as weight A Correction to this paper has been published: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-024-02132-w A multi-model analysis of the zero emissions commitment from CO2 The zero emissions

Thus the Chinese Chippendale–style secretary that is a focal point of his living area, its shelves packed with “portable trinkets that make me happy,” among them Chinese ceramic foo dogs. “I’m always game for something that’s old and on its last legs.” The porch is outfitted with wicker and rattan pieces a color that echoes the shutters of the house on the other side of the street hangs a blue bird cage that houses a porcelain parrot A molding on the pedimented fireplace proved to be just deep enough to display a collection of mignon obelisks made of semiprecious minerals “There is an English sensibility to this place: thrown together eschewing the American matching thing,” Bertram says of his decorative approach his one-room retreat feels a bit like a miniaturized version of a British country house inhabited by a magpie chatelain albeit one with an inspiring ability to make magic out of the mundane Aldous Bertram’s home appears in AD’s November issue.

After settling for third in the 3,200-meter run at the past two WPIAL Class 3A championships behind Butler’s Drew Griffith and Ringgold’s Ryan Pajak Bertram is running faster than ever and eyeing the elusive district title “I’ve definitely been waiting for this year,” Bertram said We’ll see how things turn out.” This certainly seems to be the right time for Bertram who next season will join Griffith and Pajak at Notre Dame only one of the top nine finishers from last year’s WPIAL 3,200 has returned (fifth-place Moon senior Tyler Giunipero) and Bertram finished nearly 31 seconds ahead of him Bertram was the only underclassman in the top eight at last year’s PIAA finals He finished fifth in the 1,600 and fourth in the 3,200 at states “He’s back and really raring to go,” NA coach John Neff said “WPIALs and (states) is never an easy place to win and there are a ton of good kids out there but he’s in the best form I’ve ever seen I’m very excited to see how it goes in the next couple of months.” Bertram tuned up for the season by winning the indoor 3,000-meter state championship March 2 then competed at the prestigious New Balance Indoor Nationals in mid-March in Boston where he ran personal bests in the mile (4:07) and the 2-mile (8:50) Bertram is fully healthy after dealing with joint pain during a disappointing conclusion to his high school cross country career After placing second in the WPIAL and third in the state in 2022 and 2023 he hobbled home 82nd at last fall’s PIAA championships But the issues that hindered him are in the past “I’m feeling so much better,” he said “It’s just great to get back to normal training again.” Bertram will be tested again at the Arcadia Invitational regarded as one of the nation’s most competitive high school track meets He placed 12th in the 3,200 last year with time of 8:56.99 a half-second shy of the NA school record (8:56.43 by Matt McGoey in 2015) Bertram has plenty of help as the Tigers try to reclaim the WPIAL team title after placing third last season behind Butler and Norwin as the defending champion Dylan Langdon (high jump) and Jack Yatchenko (shot put) and sophomore Brady Brinkley (400) are all returning WPIAL medalists Zachary Nash (Duquesne) and Sebastian Klimchak and junior hurdler Sam Cohn are off to quick starts this season who Neff said “looks faster than ever,” won the 100 and 200 in the season-opening tri-meet with Shaler and North Hills “We’re pretty balanced right now,” said Neff who has coached the NA boys to eight WPIAL team titles in his 21 seasons Bertram also is excited about NA’s chances The Tigers were scheduled to host defending WPIAL Class 3A champion Butler on April 9 in a key Section 3-3A dual meet North Allegheny is a combined 10-2 in section in the past two seasons and both losses were to Griffith-led Butler “I think we are a lot stronger this year than last year,” Bertram said “I think we can probably get the win at team WPIALs I think we have a bright future in front of us.” If Javascript is disabled browser, to place orders please visit the page where our photos are available to purchase a private equity firm specializing in building industrial
