Titanic

What questions should enterprise fraud teams ask when looking to better detect and mitigate fraud? In early April, 1912, many people believed that the Titanic ...

A little humility and being open to the possibility that there is unseen, unknown fraud does a fraud program good. The best fraud teams not only have talent - they train that talent well. A healthy dose of curiosity and humility can help enterprises ask the right questions, perform the right analysis, and focus on the right topics around improving their fraud programs. Preventing and detecting fraud are only part of the puzzle. Just as brazen overconfidence in the Titanic caused some safety protocols to be ignored (which resulted in significant loss of human life), brazen overconfidence in a fraud program can cause certain avenues for reliably detecting fraud to be ignored. Whether it be increasing their fraud detection rates, lowering their false positive rates, improving the confidence they have in identifying fraud, uncovering missed fraud before it is reported from an external source, improving workflow, increasing efficiency, or otherwise, the mature fraud team knows that it can always improve.

Well, I'll be goddamned. Gloria Stuart was not yet 2 years old when the actual RMS Titanic sunk in 1912 and was 87 at the time of the blockbuster film's release ...

herself? Later in the year she was in the sports drama The All-American. Her most enduring 1932 film, though, is easier to ascertain. Her first movie to actually hit theaters was The Cohens and Kellys in Hollywood, an inside showbiz comedy in which she played... The excitement around her Oscar nomination for the phenomenally successful film at the time was, in part, due to Stuart's "comeback". She had been a (minor) star in Hollywood's Golden Age. She had burst onto the scene in 1932 with five films in release and was named one of 15 "most likely to succeed actresses" in a promotional campaign for the movie industry. Because she had so many films released in 1932 it's impossible to know which felt the most like an introduction to audiences of the time. We first see Gloria Stuart 11 minutes into Titanic (1997). Rose (age 100) is the first and only one of the film's main characters we meet in Titanic's twenty-one minute prologue which takes place in 1996. A news report about a discovery involving the RMS Titanic is playing, piquing her interest...

Work by Carnegie Mellon University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology researcher could extend reach of video conferencing. Carnegie Mellon University.

The technology Waibel tested at the wreck of the Titanic builds on decades of his pioneering research in speech translation. He has also developed dialogue translators for humanitarian missions and interpretation support for the European Parliament. In 2021, Zoom acquired a machine translation company Waibel co-founded to bolster the platform's real-time translation capabilities. Waibel tested the technology during his dive to the Titanic on July 14 as a member of an OceanGate Expeditions ( https://oceangateexpeditions.com) voyage to the famous wreck. The method is intended for scenarios where video conferencing is required over low-bandwidth transmission or where intermittent connectivity leads to poor quality video feeds, dropout, disconnects or the absence of video conferencing altogether. From inside a submersible 13,000 feet beneath the North Atlantic, Alex Waibel recorded himself both narrating his dive and talking with the pilot as they journeyed to the legendary wreck. The method could also be used for synthesizing video in another language for video dubbing.
