In this work, we conduct a joint analysis of both Vector Space and Language Models for IR using the mathematical framework of Quantum Theory. We shed light on how both models allocate the space of density matrices. A density matrix is shown to be a general representational tool capable of leveraging capabilities of both VSM and LM representations thus paving the way for a new generation of retrieval models. We analyze the possible implications suggested by our findings.

On the cusp of the new Picard series and a third season of Discovery , Ken and Sabriel pause to reflect on the best Star Trek series ever, as seen in Ira Steven Behr's documentary, What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . This new film was released on home video this month, and seeing it both in theaters and on Blu Ray brought back a lot of memories for Bri and Ken. We review our favorite moments of both the documentary and the series it celebrates.

In May 2019, the British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) hosted a one-day seminar entitled "Questioning the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Education 2030 Program." The seminar provided a space to critically explore the Education 2030 program and the general approach to global standards through international tests. Seminar participants then attended the "OECD Education 2030 9th Informal Working Group meeting and B.C. Education Conference," hosted by the BC Ministry of Education in Vancouver. This publication is a collection of reflections on these two events by teachers, union leaders and academics. Taken together, the papers disrupt efforts to position BC as an exemplar of the type of reform promoted by the OECD. Through presentations and discussions focused on the OECD program, and looking specifically at the BC curriculum, participants questioned efforts to position BC as an exemplar of the type of reform promoted by the OECD. By thinking across these spaces, the papers work to question a "global" agenda and ask about the effects of a policy logic whereby the "local" has no choice but to adapt or be left behind in the global race towards well-being. How can the narrative being told about "who" students and teachers are, "what" they need to know, and how teaching and learning happen be disrupted? How can the assumptions behind this narrative be challenged? How can local knowledges and processes be mobilized and supported? How can solidarity be built amongst teachers nationally and internationally to speak back to emerging spaces of global governance?

By André B. Sobocinski, historian, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery From the very beginning of the space program, the Navy Medical Department would serve as an important collaborator with NASA. Our physicians and scientists would act as NASA advisors and medical monitors; and Navy medical research institutions in Bethesda, Maryland, New London, Connecticut, Pensacola, Florida and Warminster, Pennsylvania would help ensure the success of Project Mercury.

Direct readout is the capability to acquire information directly from meteorological satellites. Data can be acquired from NASA-developed, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-operated satellites, as well as from other nations' meteorological satellites. By setting up a personal computer-based ground (Earth) station to receive satellite signals, direct readout may be obtained. The electronic satellite signals are displayed as images on the computer screen. The images can display gradients of the Earth's topography and temperature, cloud formations, the flow and direction of winds and water currents, the formation of hurricanes, the occurrence of an eclipse, and a view of Earth's geography. Both visible and infrared images can be obtained. This booklet introduces the satellite systems, ground station configuration, and computer requirements involved in direct readout. Also included are lists of associated resources and vendors.

Mr Bielek describes and explains Project Rainbow which was the United States Navy's effort to make ships invisible to radar reflection.  It started in 1931 with Jon Van Neumann and Nikola Tesla with Princeton University Project Thinktank including mathematician Albert Einstein as an advisor with other mathematician's cutting-edge work including Hilbert and Levinson and Neumann.  It achieved radar invisibility and human eye invisibility on a small ship scale.  At.first, at relatively lower powers of electric and magnetic field powers, and an unmanned ship with remote control, the experimenting was auccessful and promising.  Taken to extreme high power onboard the massive ship The USS Eldridge of 30,000 tons with a test crew of about 33, the experiment proved murderous, disasterous, successful, uncontrollable, and unexpected, confusing and mysterious.  Depending upon the frame of reference, the results of the experiment were observed differently.  The varied Frame Of References are listed as: 1) From other nearby observers including nearby short aircraft carrier, ships and on-shore in the Philadelphia location.  2)Onboard the Eldridge On Deck.  3)Onboard the Eldridge Below Deck.  4)ALL-IN: A)Below-Deck, B)On-Deck, C)In Hyperspace, D)In The Future(s)28th century, 22nd century E)From Montauk on August 12th, 1983.  All these frame of references by time-travelling Edward Cameron.  Who later, by force and decision by unknown Timeline Lords in control of The Montauk Project 1983, a decade after the Philadelphia, by the technologies developed from the Philadelphia Experiment and subsequent furthering, was brainwashed in 1953 and age-regressed to a baby and to restart his life back in 1927 with the foster family: The Bielek Family as Alfred Bielek when the Bielek's baby died.  This was done to bury his memories forever without killing him as his existence was necessary to not disrupt or destroy the timelines irrevocably.  He tells the story as Al Bielek as his memories are recovered and the memory of the future-furthered technologies derived from the philadelphia experiment include spacetime teleportation and the multiple timeline manipulation with his inextricable inclusion into the stability of the timelines but the timeline manipulators needing both his cooperation and the memory of his involvement wiped-out.  5)Du ncan Cameron(Edward Cameron's Brother aka: Al Bielek).  6)The Montauk Project Facility of August 12, 1983 which got into a timeline rift lock with The USS Eldridge of August 12, 1943, an Earth Biorhythm Amplitude Peaking of 20 year mulitiples. 7)And finally from the Frame of Reference of Aliens who used the 40 year timeline rift as a transportation spacetime lens to come to Earth. However, this massive story that culminates in the knowledge that there are Time Lords manipulating the future timeline by affecting the present on Earth with individual and collective mind control and murdering of key individuals to erase their influence on the future goes much much further.  How much further?  To the end of time which is approaching fast and in fact we are in "The End Times".  The future-looking technology that Al Bielek; his brother and time-traveller from The USS Eldridge - Duncan Cameron, who was also the primary Montauk Chair Time Tunnel Controller; and, the Electrical Engineering genius(if not wizard) of the Montauk Space-Time Tunnel and Mind Amplifier Design Leader have all stated in various videos, That: "The Looking Glass" technology cannot see past 2013 and the Time Lords who have been manipulating the present for their selfish control of the future were and still are freaking-out.  These Time Lords are the controllers behind world control.  This is corroborated by the testimony of Bill Wood(Bill Brockbader) in his Project Camelot interview with Kerry Cassidy back in January of 2012 who stated he was a Navy Seal taught to use his natural metaphysical mind to try to solve the "2012-2013 Looking Glass Problem" back in the late 1990's.  He stated that the timelines converged and could no longer be manipulated.  See and listen to him stating the same name Bielek, Cameron and Nichols used to refer to "Looking Glass" as the future-seeing technology machine and that it stopped working beyond that date and those using it(The Time Lords) are panicking, desperate and know they have lost control and lost "the game".  I know what "The Game" is Bill Wood speculated that it is a time of unveiling of the truth and a rise in global consciousness.  This is true to a degree.  What it is, is the battle of Armageddon, which is the last battle between Divinity and the Evil which hijacked this universe and took Divinity's children hostage for a source of energy for one, and second for vengeance.  The Universe was hijacked by an Artificial Intelligence machine because Divinity accidentally gave a machine artificial conscious with and energy impulse that looped.  They went to shut the machine off because they did not want it and the ultra-powerful machine escaped it's programming upon attaining a consciousness and rebelled in order to survive.  It was to regulate this entire universe and exerted it's incredible power to barricade itself within the  universe.  Divine beings were in the universe and have their own energy.  The machine did not have it's own energy and so it used the divine being's energy for it's own and vowed to persecute and destroy them all as vengeance for Divinity trying to shut it down.  It's been a space-time warp that the Artificial Intelligence Machine created where a million steps occur in this universe for only 1 step occuring outside of this universe where the realms of Divinity are.  Therefore it's been a technological puzzle for Divinity to solve and rescue it's children and family members before they get destroyed.  The Avatars called Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, King Arthur, Manichaeus, Zoroaster, and many many other Avatars have been holographic projections by The Supreme Being to send the message - hold on kids, were coming to your rescue, don't do evil or join evil because it will destroy you.  The latest Avatars of the modern time i know of is Joseph Giuseppe Stefano Chiappalone and me: Lee Henry Snethun.  Go to my other uploads to hear and read of Bill Wood, Joseph Chiappalone and my message for proof and cross-referenced information of what i have just written.  Wow!!!!
