![]() ![]() "It's a last resting place of sailors who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country, and in effect, it's the Arlington National Cemetery for the Navy," he said. Even today, rival theories seek to explain the mystery. Navy grappled for an answer as to what went wrong. Click on a submarine to see a list of the personnel lost on each submarine. Amid the public shock over the tragedy, the U.S. Below is a list of each of the fifty-two submarines lost during WW II. Subs that dont return, including 52 lost during WWII, are considered still on. ![]() Sam Cox, director of Naval History and Heritage Command, presents the Distinguished Public Service Award to Tim Taylor, founder and leader of the Lost 52 Project, at the Washington Navy Yard on May 24, 2021. The USS Thresher (SSN-593), which sank 60 years ago this April, was the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine to be lost at sea. A Canadian research vessel lost contact with the 21-foot sub an hour and 45 minutes into its dive Sunday morning about 900 nautical miles off the coast of Cape Cod. The US Navy has a tradition that no submarine is ever considered lost at sea. Navy is a hallowed site," Sam Cox, a retired rear admiral who is director of Naval History and Heritage Command, said at the ceremony at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. "Every one of these lost submarines, along with our other ships, to the U.S. His team is credited with having discovered the final resting places of 288 men, all locked inside what had become sunken tombs. It received two Navy Unit Commendations and eight battle stars. Taylor was honored this week with the Navy's highest civilian award, the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award. Credited with sinking at least 14 ships during the war, the USS Grayback was one of 52 submarines that was lost in action. But the Navy had unknowingly relied on a flawed translation of Japanese war records that got one. Taylor's team has found a total of seven Navy submarines - five of which disappeared during World War II - bringing a measure of closure to hundreds of family members like Helen Baldwin. The USS Thresher (SSN-593), which sank 60 years ago this April, was the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine to be lost at sea. The Grayback was thought to have gone down in the open ocean 100 miles east-southeast of Okinawa. Navy official said the military detected 'an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion' on Sunday shortly after the sub, called the Titan, lost contact with the surface, CBS News.

![]() Took the ride from about 1 billion to about 40 billion at Optum. ![]() As you said earlier in the introduction, the other CEOs left and I became the group EVP. I ran one of them and then we put them together. This was a few years before the birth of Optum but there were some businesses that were the kindling that became Optum. So began the next stage of my career, which was the corporate stage. Health Allies, we did it before the Affordable Care Act when there were a lot more people without insurance and a lot more people going bankrupt from not having insurance. Myself and a few of our friends put them through college so they graduated debt free even though they had no money. Just to put a quick cap on that first part of that story, the twins, Josh and Judy, are now 25 years old. The process of putting her life back together ended up giving a cause to leave what I was doing and start the company I started, which is basically for people who were underinsured and getting smacked with medical expenses because they were asked to pay rack rate. So my first year of marriage, I had two wives and three kids, which I'm not going to recommend. His widow and their twin one-year-olds moved across the country from Baltimore to live with my wife and I and our little newborn. It turned out he had a brain tumor and he died five-and-a-half months from the day he called me. He had twin one-year-olds and I had just gotten married myself and we had a new baby on the way. It wasn't really until late '90s when my college roommate one day called and said he was feeling numbness in his arm and he couldn't feel his fingers on his left side. ![]() I did end up running a company that I took public in the '90s. Goldman Sachs, Harvard Business School, McKinsey, really bold steps on my part. Well, the first part of my career was about as boring as you're ever going to hear. Before we dive into some of our specific questions, we'd love to hear the story from you about initially entering healthcare and what motivated these different career changes you've had from the Health Allies/Optum world to the public sector. To kick things off, you really have done it all in healthcare. They’re supremely powerful, beautiful to look at and play on, and unsurprisingly, don’t last long when away from a power socket and comfortable desk. Fast gaming trumps power Riley Young/Digital Trendsīoth the Alienware 17 R5 and Acer Predator Helios 500 are fantastic gaming laptops. Neither laptop is portable in any sense of the word and though in certain settings each has a battery life advantage, we would expect the slightly lower spec Helios 500 to outlast the Alienware system in most scenarios if the latter sports a 4K display. However, the 17 R5 did last two and a half hours in our Basemark test, while the Helios 500 only offered an hour and a half of battery life. The heftier hardware in the Alienware laptop meant that it drained its battery faster in our video viewing test, lasting just under four hours, while the Helios 500 managed five and a half hours. The size differences between the two aren’t large enough to make them a deciding factor and battery life doesn’t do much to change that either. The Helios is a little thicker, but shallower than its Alienware counterpart, measuring 16.85 x 11.73 x 1.52-inches, versus the 17 R5’s 16.7 x 13.1 x 1.18-inches. Still, at 8.8 pounds, the Predator Helios 500 is noticeably lighter than the Alienware counterpart and will strain your back less during transit. The 17-inch form factor is not designed with portability in mind. Neither of these systems is one you’ll want to lug around all day, but that’s to be expected. However, if you plan on hooking up to high-resolution monitor, the Alienware 17 R5 will certainly produce better framerates. For 1080p gaming, the Helios 500 is more than enough power than what most gamers will need. While the Helios 500 might be the slightly weaker system in terms of overall hardware, the end result simply looks better thanks to the higher quality, faster panel, even with a lower resolution. Its color accuracy is noticeably better, and its contrast ratio is greater for deeper blacks and whites. ![]() Although the Acer laptop is a lower resolution, we found its visuals to be stunning in comparison to the Alienware alternative, and that’s thanks to its use of an IPS rather than a TN panel. There are options for a 1080p and 1440p panel in the price range, while the Helios 500 is limited to a 1080p display, but it is 144Hz - compared with the 120Hz refresh rate of the Alienware laptop at 1440p. Options for more RAM and expanded storage give you some flexibility throughout the price range, but if you spend the maximum $3,900 you can upgrade to a Core i9-8950HK CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a GTX 1080 graphics chip.Ī big part of that configuration and its cost though is the 4K display it comes with. For a couple of hundred dollars more, you can upgrade that to a 256GB SSD instead. , it comes with a Core i7-8750H CPU with 8GB of RAM, a GTX 1060 graphics chip, and a terabyte of hard drive storage paired with an 8GB caching SSD. The Alienware 17 R5 has a similar hardware selection, but a broader price range. If you want more for (more of) your money, you can spend $2,500 for the same configuration but with a Core i9-8950HK CPU and 512GB of SSD storage instead. Microcenter even has that configuration at $300 off at the time of writing. For $2,000 you can have an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8750H CPU paired up with 16GB of memory (with space for up to 64GB), a GTX 1070 graphics chip, 256GB of PCIExpress SSD storage, and a 1TB hard drive. There are only a couple of options for configuring the Acer Helios 500, but both are monstrously powerful. That platform also comes with its own Tobii eye-tracker, which is a nice touch, but it has limited usage in most games at this time. The keyboard on the Helios is fantastic and has been for a few generations, though it does not feature per-key backlighting like the Alienware system does. There’s a little more versatility there, especially when it comes to external USB accessories, but there’s not a huge difference between the two. It also has HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, as well as an ethernet connector, and a headphone jack. In comparison, the Helios 500 has more USB ports, with three USB-A and two USB-C. That offers lots of options for running larger, external displays, with many of those ports located on the back, so they’re well out of the way when you’re gaming on a desk. ![]() The Alienware machine has a lot of ports filling its flanks, with two USB-A and a single USB-C connector alongside an Ethernet port, headphone jack, Thunderbolt port, HDMI port, and mini-DisplayPort. ![]() CES 2023: Acer’s redesigned Predator Helios 18 looks like a winnerĭell XPS 15 vs. ![]() Versions 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 in January and June 2016 provided stability and bug fixes, and the app was optimized for macOS 10.12 Sierra with version 1.4.3 in September 2016. Version 1.4, in December 2015, added panorama photo stitching, support for macOS 10.11 El Capitan including six Affinity extensions for Apple Photos, and augmented the languages supported in previous versions (English (US and UK), German, French and Spanish) with Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Japanese. ![]() In August Version 1.3.5 was released providing numerous bug fixes and improvements. The initial stable release of Affinity Photo, version 1.3.1, launched on the Mac App Store on 9 July 2015 for macOS 10.7 and later. A free beta test version was released to the public on 9 February 2015. Serif established an R&D team for Affinity Photo in 2009, headed by lead designer Andy Somerfield. It was Serif's second macOS app after Affinity Designer and, like that app, was built from the ground up to leverage core native technologies, including Grand Central Dispatch, Core Graphics, OpenGL and Metal 2 hardware acceleration. Development Īffinity Photo began as a raster graphics editor solely for macOS. Īffinity Photo is not an image organizer like Apple Aperture or Adobe Lightroom. It supports unlimited layers and a dedicated workspace for developing RAW photos as well as RGB, CMYK, LAB, Greyscale color spaces with ICC color management and 16-bit per channel editing. ![]() Working in Affinity Photo is always live, with pan and zoom at 60fps and non-destructive editing.

Like other Wall Street leaders, Solomon has been frustrated by the escalating turnover through the pandemic that's forced firms to sweeten rewards for rainmakers to levels not seen since the financial crisis. It's part of a pattern of expanding the list of what counts as a competitor to enforce more restrictive exit agreements. Other surprise measures include pulling unvested compensation from long-time loyalists like former division chiefs Gregg Lemkau and Eric Lane - who left for firms that would be considered clients. It's just one of the ways the bank is playing hardball with those who leave.
