An overhead view of the armor-clad effigy on the Black Prince's tomb at Canterbury Cathedral in England. Dean and Chapter of Canterbury

Historians have long wondered how the realistic knights armor on the tomb of the infamous Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock and heir to the English throne who died in 1376, was crafted. Now they think they know.

Using x-rays and other medical imaging equipment, researchers have discovered that the metal armor on the effigy was likely made by an actual armorer, reports Maev Kennedy of the Art Newspaper. A team of historians and scientists from the Courtauld Institute of Art used noninvasive techniques to look inside the effigy on the tomb at Canterbury Cathedral in England.

Their examination of the protective plating on the reclined figure shows an intricate system of bolts and pins holding it all together, demonstrating the designer had a detailed knowledge of medieval armor, according to Jennifer Ouellette of Ars Technica. The effigy armor is very similar to knights armor actually worn by the Black Prince, which is displayed at the cathedral.

There is something deeply affecting about the way his armor is depicted on the tomb, team co-leader Jessica Barker, a senior lecturer in Medieval Art at the Courtauld, says in a statement. This isnt just any armorit is his armor, the same armor that hangs empty above the tomb, replicated with complete fidelity even down to tiny details like the position of rivets.

It is not known how Edward of Woodstock, son of King Edward III and father of King Richard II, acquired his nickname. Some historians believe it may trace back to the dark armor he wore in battle. Others claim it comes from his savagery as a military commander, states the Art Newspaper. In 1370, the Black Prince ordered the slaughter of hundredsperhaps thousandsof men, women and children following the Siege of Limoges in France.

Edward of Woodstock died six years later of dysentery at the age of 45. Before his passing, he left detailed instructions on how his tomb should look, the Courtauld team states in its findings published in the Burlington, a monthly magazine covering the fine and decorative arts.

According to researchers, the Black Prince wanted his tomb effigy to be made of metal and fully armed in plate of war, which was unprecedented in England at the time, reports Owen Jarus of Live Science. The likeness on this gravesite is one of just six surviving large cast-metal sculptures from medieval England.

Originally, historians believed this tomb was constructed shortly after Edward of Woodstocks death in 1376. However, the metal alloys in this effigy are almost identical to those used in another created for the Black Princes father, Edward III, which was built in 1386, according to the researchers findings.

The team now suspects both tombs were constructed at about the same time by Richard II, who may have used them as propaganda to support his faltering reign. The kings unpopularity at that time was due to the threat of another war with France and the strain it placed on the nations finances.

Until now though, a lack of documents about the Black Princes tomb and effigy has limited our understanding of their construction, chronology and patronage so our scientific study of them offers a long-overdue opportunity to reassess the effigy as one of the countrys most precious medieval sculptures, Barker says in the statement. By using the latest scientific technology and closely examining the effigy, we have discovered so much more about how it was cast, assembled and finished.

Scientific analysis also reveals the effigy was made by a team of medieval artisans with an experts understanding of battle armor.

Although the names of the artists are lost to history, by looking very closely at how the sculpture was made, we have reconstructed the artistic processes, background and training of the artists, and even the order in which the sculptures many pieces were assembled, research co-leader Emily Pegues, a PhD student at the Courtauld and assistant curator of sculpture at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., says in the statement.

In addition to x-rays of the effigy, the researchers inserted a video probe through existing openings to look at the interior construction of the tombs figure, reports the website Medievalists.net. Similar to an endoscopy, the device features a long tube with a light and camera for examining hidden things.

It was thrilling to be able to see the inside of the sculpture with the endoscope: we found bolts and pins holding the figure together which show it put together like puzzle pieces, revealing evidence of the stages of its making which no one had seen since the 1380s, Pegues says.

Thanks to Medical Technology, the Black Prince's Tomb Reveals Its Secrets - Smithsonian

It had been something like 14 years since I had invested in a new computer. In the space of a lifetime that hardly seems like more than a few blinks of an eye. But technology being what it is, I might as well have been living in the dark ages.

First, my brand-new computer of a decade and a half ago was equipped with a Windows Vista operating system. Touted as state of the art at the time, it retained that distinction about as long as eight-track tape players. Within a few years, not only had Vista been replaced but so were two or three of its successors.

My old computer kept on keeping on. Its efficiency, however, became less and less reliable. Finally it quit even turning on. I took it to a local computer repair shop, which gave it a thorough cleaning and replaced a couple of components. Good as new.

A geek Im not. While discontinued support of the operating system was affecting some of the online stuff, I figured that what I use a computer for would probably last as long as I would.

That is until some of my email operations stopped working. For instance, we use digital coupons for grocery discounts, and the ad connections stopped connecting. And then I began having difficulty posting comments on social media, a real trauma for an opinionated guy.

The only logical solution was simple: upgrade the operating system. I briefly considered installing Windows 10 on my old computer, although there might be a problem with hard-drive capacity. An ostensibly easier, albeit more expensive, option would be a new computer. Either route, of course, required downloading and reinstalling everything I wanted to save, including hundreds of pictures, from the old system.

My family liked the idea of going all the way, and they even chipped in to defray the cost of a new tower.

Fortunately, daughter Ruth is something of a computer wiz. She captured all the transferred data on flash drive, plugged everything into the new tower, installed my Internet software and fired it up. It worked!

The rest was up to me. I quickly discovered what worked fine on one machine didnt necessarily work the same way on the new system. In some sense, it was like learning to walk and talk all over again.

Gradually things started coming together. Ruth had tried to install an office program, but the directions kept coming up in German. I uncovered an option to use English, but she eventually obtained a CD to load it more easily. And I figured out how to set my wallpaper and turn on a picture-scrolling screensaver.

Response time is quicker. Sometimes, anyway. Im told DSL may be slower, but Im not a WiFi kind of guy. And the just-released Windows 11 offers innovations Id never use. But what the Dell. Ill live with it. At least Im in the 21st century now.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released astatement on October 21, 2021, announcing that it has ordered six of the largest US technologycompanies that operate payment systems to turn over informationabout their payments-related products, plans and practices. TheCFPB issued the orders to gain insight into how these firms usepersonal payments data (including with third parties), and toidentify how this data can potentially be used to limit consumerchoice and hinder innovation. On November5, 2021, the CFPBpublished a request inviting interested parties to submit comments to inform the agency'sinquiry no later than December6, 2021.

The CFPB asserts that the orders build on the efforts of theFederal Trade Commission to bring heightened scrutiny to some ofthe largest US technology companies. Specifically, the six ordersallegedly seek to illuminate the scale of these companies'consumer payment products, as well as the underlying businesspractices. In its statement, the CFPB described these as an"initial" set of orders, and it revealed that the agencyalso will be studying the payments practices of at least two largeChinese technology companies.

The comprehensive nature of the inquiry is reflected in an example order that the CFPB made publiclyavailable. Broadly, the CFPB is seeking information related tothe data gathering practices of the six technology companies, butthe order also demonstrates that it is seeking informationregarding the specifics of how these companies are making decisionsbased on the user data they collect. Ultimately, the CFPB says, itintends to use this information to ensure that these companies aremaintaining adequate consumer protections.

The example order includes 55 questions, which generally fallwithin three primary categories:

More specifically, the CFPB asked each company to:

The CFPB stated that the orders were issued pursuant to Section1022(c)(4) of the Consumer Financial Protection Act. This sectionstates in relevant part that the CFPB has "the authority togather information from time to time regarding the organization,business conduct, markets, and activities of covered persons andservice providers."1 The CFPB may gather thisinformation in a number of ways, including by requiring coveredpersons to supply "answers in writing to specificquestions."2 Through this authority, the CFPBargues that it will be able to obtain information from technologycompanies that will enable the agency to monitor risks to consumersand to publish aggregated findings that are in the publicinterest.

Under the Biden administration, the CFPB has taken a more activerole in enforcing consumer protections, and many expected thistrend to continue once the Senate confirmed Rohit Chopra asdirector of the agency in September. Following the issuance of thesix orders, it is clear that the CFPB plans to use its broadmonitoring authority to gather information on companies outside ofthe agency's traditional purview. As Chopra remarked in the director's statement on the inquiry, theCFPB hopes that such orders "will yield insights that may helpthe CFPB to implement other statutory responsibilities, includingany potential rulemaking under Section 1033 of the Dodd-Frank WallStreet Reform and Consumer Protection Act." In November 2020,the CFPB issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking onSection 1033, which provides for consumer rights to accessfinancial records.

But further, this announcement is one of several recentstatements signaling that Chopra is keyed on large technologycompanies. In written testimony before the House Committee onFinancial Services on October28, 2021, Chopra again notedthe influence of "Big Tech" companies in the paymentsspace, which he contended "have sought to gain greater controlover the flow of money in our economy." So, while it remainsto be seen how insight gained from the companies' responses tothese orders will shape CFPB rulemaking or enforcement activities,Chopra seems to be positioning the CFPB as another Big Techwatchdog.

Employees at hotel and other hospitality locations are the heart of their organizations, representing company values and mission to deliver the best possible guest experience consistently. But hospitality industry trends coming out of a very disruptive period show a worrying shortage of labor, with workers having time and financial support during lockdown to consider other options when it comes to their careers and their futures.

Making sure that hospitality work is rewarding, and that environments are supportive is more important than ever before to the future of the industry. How does advanced hotel technology help to address this vital concern? How must systems and processes in hotels, resorts, and casinos best support hospitality workers day to day, help to identify how to reward their hard work, and retain their talent? Here are some examples to consider.

There have been plenty of stories on how hotel technology helps to empower guests to manage their own journeys. Mobile solutions integrated with property management as connected to reservations management, restaurant point of sale, and others allow them to access services that give shape and meaning to their experiences with hospitality locations. The other side of that of course is how these connected systems affect the way that hospitality staff manage their own workdays which in turn delivers significant benefits to organizations.

A big factor to this is easier and less stressful time management. As technology solutions take on more of the operational mechanics of the guest journey, hospitality workers can be more focused on other tasks; general cleanliness, back-office tasks, events prep, inventory, communications with vendors, receiving supply orders, and more. When workers can accomplish these tasks efficiently and with fewer interruptions, this adds to a greater sense of accomplishment of a job well done. It also helps to promote an atmosphere of calmness, comfort, and welcome that benefits everyone.

When workers have what they need to do their jobs well wherever they happen to be, that dynamic adds flexibility, a greater sense of freedom, and less friction as they complete tasks. And when staff have better accessibility to information, that increases the quality of guest interactions. Hotel technology solutions that support these principles play an integral part in making work meaningful and more effective.

Tablet-based point of sale to serve guests appetizers or drinks in hotel restaurants waiting areas or poolside from the hotel bar add to this level of fluidity. Housekeeping modules connected to PMS and accessible on staff mobile devices help workers stay connected to their task lists. Amenities reservations software manages timelines, accurate wait times, and timely availability notifications while staff concentrate on more personal interactions with guests. When the technology does more of the heavy lifting, that means less worker stress and more meaningful work all around.

For anyone to enjoy their job, there must be some sense that the work they do has positive impact. They must know how the value of their work is measured and have a sense that when they put in effort beyond the minimum, they will be rewarded in the same manner. The best way to accomplish this is to rely on real data that connects all your teams and all your locations together in a single ecosystem.

Cloud technology is an important component to this, allowing your organization to identify the high performers across all brand locations and in single ones as well. From there, you can more easily match performance with rewards ranging from monthly bonuses, to management training opportunities, to job promotions. When your systems help you to express investment in your people and prompts rewards for good work, thats one of the important factors that will help hospitality workers stay in the industry and continue to help your organization flourish.

Investing in the right hotel technology solutions in support of helping staff excel is part of a solid strategy retain talent. The hospitality industry must contend with a range of other factors that affect that outcome, and no single hotel technology solution will be the sole answer to address the issue. But a baseline for success starts with making sure that technology takes on the burden to enable workers enjoy their work while generating efficiency, goodwill, and repeat business for your organization while they do it.

What are the next steps in investing in the right solutions? A big part of that goes hand in hand with collaborating with the right technology partners. Whether youre assessing an existing one or looking for a new source of external expertise, it can be a daunting task. So how do you begin that journey?

ANN ARBOR, MI -- A California-based company became a part of Ann Arbors technology industry on Nov. 5 with the opening of its second headquarters in the U.S.

KLA, which produces equipment that helps create electronic components, recently opened a $200 million research and development campus, featuring corporate functions and a clean room.

The Ann Arbor headquarters a six-story, 230,000-square foot building located on 18 acres in Ann Arbor Township is focused on advancing semiconductor manufacturing through research of manufacturing tools and machine learning applications.

The headquarters also features employee amenities such as a coffee shop, fitness center and electric vehicle charging stations, as well as corporate offices focusing on supply chain, procurement, IT, finance, legal and Human Resources departments.

Were super, super excited, said John McLaughin, the Ann Arbor site leader. It certainly will help us attract people to the business and Ann Arbor.

KLA currently has a team of 300 people at the new location, with an additional 300 planned hires over the next 12 to 18 months.

The 51,000-square foot clean room will help the company complete research and design for semiconductor manufacturing. McLaughin said KLA is focused on helping its customers improve yield of semiconductors during an ongoing technology shortage.

Our customers are the ones who actually make the chips, he said.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who attended the campus ribbon-cutting on Friday, Nov. 5, said KLA is part of the next generation of technology and innovation.

With KLAs bold investment and commitment to the community, well continue growing Michigans economy, creating good-paying jobs, and securing our position on the worlds high-tech stage, Whitmer said in a statement announcing the opening. Together, we will usher in a new era of prosperity for our families and communities.

KLA considered more than 350 North American locations before choosing Michigan, according to a press release from Whitmers office. In the end, KLA chose Ann Arbor because of its global accessibility and existing technology industry, McLaughin said.

Its a great collision of things, McLaughin said, adding that the company wanted to tap into a brand-new pipeline of talent.

Draws to Ann Arbor included high quality of life, increased accessibility to the global market via nearby international airports and a lower cost of living than its current Silicon Valley headquarters, McLaughin said, in addition to the current industry.

It was exciting to see a technology ecosystem in place here, he said.
