Drumroll, please... ...and the spangram was WATCHWORDS. Strands #280 “A timely theme” 🔵🟡🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵🔵 Hi Strands fans. Finally, a puzzle I don't need to resort to clues on! Today's topic - "A timely theme" - was pretty clearly going to be about horology in some form, and the 'Z' in the bottom-right corner led me straight to the word BEZEL (probably a side effect of writing phone reviews for too long). From there, I saw the word "watch" and when it didn't register an an answer, I realized it had to be part of the spangram. I looked around it and eventually found WATCHWORDS to neatly divide the board in two. The 'X' above my first answer led me to LUXURY, and I then saw CROWN at the top of the right-hand side. Filling the gap was a series of letters that could only spell ANALOG. The companion word to that is, of course, DIGITAL, and I found that in the bottom-left corner. Above that was FACE, which just left HANDS in the top left to complete a rather fun puzzle. Yesterday's Strands answers Reading this in a later time zone?

Boys Town Nebraska, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boys Town today announced the filing of patents for two groundbreaking AI-integrated innovations in virtual training & mixed reality technology. Boys Town is a leader in changing the lives of children and families across the country. Boys Town’s success comes with teaching caregivers researched-based strategies to effectively change the behaviors of at-risk children. Boys Town is also a leader in helping children with hearing loss and communication disorders. This new AI model will help to effectively teach more caregivers across the country and aid those using American Sign Language (ASL). “Boys Town is known for its groundbreaking research informed care that serves children and families nationwide,” said Rod Kempkes, CEO. “This new technology will help us share the Boys Town mission with even wider audiences across the world and sets Boys Town apart as a thought leader in the nonprofit sector.” The first system is an AI-driven training application designed to instruct individuals on effectively implementing the Boys Town Model for teaching social skills to children. This new technology can help train caregivers how to respond when working with children. The system features AI-powered characters designed to simulate children’s behavior, enabling realistic and dynamic interactions. Users can engage with these AI characters through natural language while the system leverages computer vision to interpret and respond to user cues. These teachings can then be used when dealing with real world scenarios and provide AI-driven feedback on how the interactions were handled. The second technology facilitates seamless communication between individuals using American Sign Language (ASL) and those communicating verbally. It translates ASL into speech and converts spoken language into text, which is displayed as captions on smart eyewear, allowing both parties to communicate effortlessly. Boys Town is a leader in communication disorders research along with treating those with hearing loss. This technology will be an asset to helping children and families navigate communication barriers. About Boys Town: For over a century, Boys Town has been a beacon of hope, transforming the lives of America's children and families through innovative youth, research, and healthcare programs. Boys Town provides compassionate, research-proven education, prevention, training, and treatment for behavioral and physical problems in multiple locations throughout the United States, with a comprehensive array of services. In 2023, more than 715,000 children and families across the United States were impacted by Boys Town programs. You can find more information about Boys Town online at www.boystown.org . Attachments Jordan Weinandt Boys Town 4027208865 jordan.weinandt@boystown.orgBynum scores 19 as UTEP beats Seattle U 88-72Consumer Reports applauded the Federal Communications Commission for proposing a fine against a China-based company that made video doorbells with troubling security vulnerabilities. The FCC fine is somewhat adjacent to the actual security and privacy concerns about the video doorbells. The proposed $734,872 fine, announced Thursday, is because the company, Eken, didn’t respond to the letter of inquiry from the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau and for not maintaining a required active domestic point of contact, according to the FCC. Investigators discovered that the company’s domestic point of contact address in Colorado was a mailbox that had been inactive since 2019. The FCC’s investigation into Eken’s equipment remains ongoing. “It’s good to see more enforcement in this space that’s been traditionally radically under-enforced,” said Justin Brookman, the director of technology policy at Consumer Reports. Brookman said his team flagged their concerns over the Eken video doorbells to the FCC after routine product testing uncovered security vulnerabilities. The video doorbells — sold under different brand names, including Eken and Tuck, at online retailers, including Amazon, Walmart and Temu — “revealed pretty alarming stuff” during the Consumer Reports testing, Brookman said. The video doorbells exposed a user’s home IP addresses and Wi-Fi network names to the internet without encryption, potentially opening a user’s home network to malicious activity, according to Consumer Reports’ investigation from earlier this year. Hackers could potentially take over the device by downloading the associated smartphone app and entering the doorbell into pairing mode, which would allow them to take ownership of the device, view footage and lock out the owner of the device, Consumer Reports said. “It was far too easy for a bad actor ... to get access to who’s coming in, who’s going,” Brookman said. He said they have no reason to think the company itself was collecting images off their video doorbells, and that wasn’t the focus of Consumer Reports’ investigation, Brookman said. Ensuring products are safe and up to high standards can be tough in today’s world of online shopping, where the reviews many folks rely on can be “gamed,” Brookman added. The platforms selling the products, such as Amazon, “need to take more responsibility” to protect customers, he said. The FCC said it’s taking action to protect consumers. One example is the voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for wireless consumer “Internet of Things” products. Video doorbells fall into that product bucket, along with an array of internet-connected devices like smart TVs, home smart speakers and home security cameras that must be protected from hackers.
