J. Robert Welsh. John Robert Welsh (May 18, 1901 – July 29, 1990) was an electric utilities executive and noted civic leader of northwest Louisiana in the mid-twentieth century. The J. Robert Welsh Power Plant is named in his honor.

Welsh was born in Peoria, Illinois, and graduated from the University of Illinois in 1924, after which he worked as a superintendent and chief engineer for the electrical utility (transmission line and substation) construction contractor L. E. Myers Company, until 1940. At that time, he went to work for SWEPCO as a superintendent and vice president-general manager, remaining with the company until his retirement in 1971. Welsh served as SWEPCO President from 1954 to 1966, and board chairman from 1966 to 1971. He also served as president of the Southwest Atomic Energy Associates, as director of the Texas Atomic Energy Research Foundation (a Texas consortium of ten electrical power companies), and as a member of the board of directors of the National Association of Manufacturers, among numerous other roles at regional and national levels in the utilities industry.

Welsh and his wife, Marcella, had seven children. One of their sons, John Robert "Jack" Welsh, was a Jesuit priest. Likewise, one of their five daughters, Marietta Welsh (1927 - 2017), was a Roman Catholic nun who served as the Mother Superior of the St. Vincent's convent and as the Superior General of the Daughters of the Cross, the Order which established 21 Catholic schools throughout north Louisiana, including St John Berchmans Catholic [elementary and middle] school and the now defunct all-girl high school St. Vincent's Academy (1868 - 1988), both in Shreveport.

From 1969 to 1977, Welsh Sr., served as the first president of the Board of Trustees of Jesuit High School of Shreveport Corporation, which saved the all-male institution, founded in 1902 (now known as the coeducational Loyola College Prep), from closing by providing the necessary financial oversight after the Society of Jesus made the decision to pull out of the school. Welsh's son Jack had earlier attended this institution (as St. John's High School) and returned to teach there (from 1959 to 1976), subsequently serving as president and rector. J. Robert Welsh was also a board member of Centenary College of Louisiana.

The title of Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, one of the highest papal honors bestowed on a Roman Catholic lay person, was conferred on him in 1956 by Bishop Charles P. Greco, by direction of Pope Pius XII in honor of Welsh's exemplary life of faith and service to the Church. Welsh was also very active in public affairs and received several secular awards from the local community in recognition of his municipal efforts. J. Robert Welsh died on July 29, 1990, at the age of 89.

Arctic Ice Project. The Arctic Ice Project is a Silicon Valley non-profit research organization that aims to slow climate change by restoring ice in the Arctic. Their  scientific research in ice preservation technologies represents an opportunity to buy up to 15 more years for the world's economies to decarbonize. The organization has built an innovation network of prestigious external scientific partnerships that include the top specialists and organizations in the climate field in order to coordinate a moonshot effort to stop Arctic ice melt in key portions of the Arctic, our planet's heat-shield.

Solution 
The Arctic Ice Project's approach is to spread hollow silica microspheres (reflective sand) on top of ice in the Arctic. The microspheres raise the reflecting power of polar ice. This reduces the amount of sunlight absorbed, and slows the melting of the ice.

The microspheres are bright white, and each one is 35 microns in diameter (less than the diameter of a human hair). The microspheres are filled with air and they float. The vision is to cover a strategic area of the Arctic about the size of Belgium with microspheres. Target locations will be near communities that depend on the ice, and routes through which melting ice reaches the wider ocean.

The Arctic Ice Project aims to rebuild a natural system with the least possible intervention. The Arctic Ice Project's silica microspheres will dissolve over time.  This is a form of “soft geoengineering”. It is claimed to be less damaging and more reversible than other techniques.

Some scientists are concerned about the risks of restoring Arctic ice, as this approach could have unintended consequences. The Arctic Ice Project maintains that its approach will not drastically alter the ecosystem or pollute the environment.

Paul Laubenthal. Paul Laubenthal (born in Cologne, date of birth unknown; died 8 June 1929 in Böblingen) was a German aircraft constructor and pilot.

Life 
Paul Laubenthal was born as the son of a ship builder in Cologne. He was the brother of painter Fritz Laubenthal. 

Laubenthal was a pioneer of aircraft gliding in 1920s Germany, both as a pilot and as a constructor, most notably of the Laubenthal Württemberg and Lore single seat gliders. In 1928 Paul Laubenthal, along with fellow aviators Paul Röhre and Peter Hesselbach, was invited to the United States by the American Motorless Aviation Club. The objective of this extended visit was to introduce German gliding technology to the US and to help establish an American gliding school. During their stay, Hesselbach was able to set a new gliding record on July 29, staying in the air for 4 hours and 5 minutes.

On June 8, 1929 Laubenthal crashed his aircraft at a flight show in Böblingen, Germany, dying instantly due to severe skull fractures

Unified endpoint management. Unified endpoint management (UEM) is a class of software tools that provide a single management interface for mobile, PC and other devices. It is an evolution of, and replacement for, mobile device management (MDM) and enterprise mobility management (EMM) and client management tools.

It provides capabilities for managing and securing mobile applications, content, collaboration and more. It is a single approach to managing all endpoints like smartphones, tablets, laptops, printers, ruggedized devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and wearables.

Evolution
With new types of devices being used in the workplace, administration of traditional laptops, desktops and new devices was a challenging task for IT administrators. Traditional CMTs (client management tools) lacked some features for a complete approach to endpoint management.
The rise of UEM was also a result of the adoption of newer enterprise friendly platforms like Windows 10, and iOS 11.

Differences between MDM, EMM and UEM
 MDM controls mobile device functionality and converts it into a single purpose or dedicated device. It has features like device enrollment, remote control, device lockdown, and location tracking
 EMM offers all MDM features, and also provides Mobile Information Management, Bring Your Own Device, Mobile Application Management and Mobile Content Management. 
 UEM provides enterprises management of mobile devices as well as endpoints like desktops, printers, IoT devices and wearables from a single management platform.
