ParTec , a developer of supercomputing systems, has surged over 95% year-to-date as investors have started to take notice of its potential. Hendrik Leber, fund manager at Acatis Datini Valueflex Fonds, owns ParTec shares and says he sees the company as a "very clear" investment opportunity. While competitors like Hewlett Packard can also bid on supercomputing projects, Lago Mascato said ParTec's middleware gives them a "unique selling point." Due to the thin trading volumes, Leber noted that even a 2 million euro stock placement took about a month to complete. Future opportunities with AI ParTec sees significant opportunities beyond traditional supercomputing by providing systems tailored to train large AI models.

We create our own path.”The OriginsThe path of form watches began at least 500 years ago. “There are records from approximately 1500 with watches made in different shapes,” said Simon Bull, a watch historian and consultant in England. “Basically, form watches start with watches in a ball shape, in a pomander shape, made in metal with piercings.”Nathalie Marielloni, vice curator at the Musée International d’Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, said that, in addition to a watch, the pomander would include some perfume. There also were watches in the form of religious objects, he said. “You get watches in the shape of crosses, you get skulls, memento mori, due to the paranoia that people had about going to heaven or hell.”

Несколько населенных пунктов на северо-востоке Франции 29 июня засыпало градом. В некоторых городах департамента Вогезы образовались сугробы из града толщиной несколько десятков сантиметров. Жителям нескольких городов департамента Вогезы пришлось в середине лета достать лопаты для уборки снега и задействовать снегоочистительную технику из-за большого объема выпавших осадков в виде града. Швейцарское информационное агентство ATS, на которое ссылается thelocal.ch, сообщило о граде огромного размера в кантоне Люцерн — диаметром до семи сантиметров. Также по меньшей мере пять человек получили травмы в немецкоязычных кантонах, в том числе велосипедист, получивший травму головы из-за града.

Парижская епархия объявила в понедельник сбор средств для финансирования интерьерных работ в Соборе Парижской Богоматери во французской столице, которые не покрываются открытой подпиской на его реставрацию. Архиепископ Парижа Мишель Опети объяснил, что хочет «перенести собор в XXI век, сохранив при этом его идентичность в духе христианской традиции». Сбор средств Fonds Cathédrale, проводимый под эгидой Фонда Нотр-Дам, будет посвящен этой цели – обширной программе дизайна интерьера, которая «требует нового сбора средств на сумму не менее 5-6 миллионов евро». Спонсоров ищут через Фонд Нотр-Дам и американский фонд «Друзья Нотр-Дам де Пари», которые поддержат эту кампанию, отмечает AFP. Закон от июля 2019 года о реставрации здания строго регулирует публичную подписку на национальном уровне, которая касается консервации и восстановления здания, принадлежащего государству.
