🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

Coral reefs are known as “the rainforests of the sea”. These vibrantly complex ecosystems harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. An estimated 25% of all marine species depend on reefs. They are also crucial for millions of people, providing food, livelihoods, resources and coastal protection.

Major threats, such as over-exploitation and climate change, are jeopardising the future of coral reefs. In the last few decades, sharp declines in reef cover have occurred worldwide. This is our first coral reef project to restore damaged reefs in the northern waters of Nusa Penida, Indonesia.

Our long-term goal is to improve resilience by enhancing connectivity of fragmented reefs whilst protecting and preserving endangered coral species. Led by our local team of expert divers and marine biologists passionate about the preservation of this marine ecosystem, we work with local people to promote positive community involvement in coral reef restoration.

A sharper view of the Milky Way with Gaia and machine learning

A group of scientists led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have used a novel machine learning model to process data for 217 million stars observed by the Gaia mission in an extremely efficient way.

The results are competitive with traditional methods used to estimate stellar parameters. This new approach opens up exciting opportunities to map characteristics like interstellar extinction and metallicity across the Milky Way, aiding in the understanding of stellar populations and the structure of our galaxy.

With the third data release of the European Space Agency's Gaia space mission, astronomers gained access to improved measurements for 1.8 billion stars, which provides a vast amount of data for researching the Milky Way.

However, analyzing such a large dataset efficiently presents challenges. In the study, researchers explored the use of machine learning to estimate key stellar properties using Gaia's spectrophotometric data. The model was trained on high-quality data from 8 million stars and achieved reliable predictions with small uncertainties.

The work is published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

"The underlying technique, called extreme gradient-boosted trees allows to estimate precise stellar properties, such as temperature, chemical composition, and interstellar dust obscuration, with unprecedented efficiency. The developed machine learning model, SHBoost, completes its tasks, including model training and prediction, within four hours on a single GPU—a process that previously required two weeks and 3,000 high-performance processors," says Arman Khalatyan from AIP and first author of the study.

"The machine-learning method is thus significantly reducing computational time, energy consumption, and CO2 emission." This is the first time such a technique was successfully applied to stars of all types at once.

The model trains on high-quality spectroscopic data from smaller stellar surveys and then applies this learning to Gaia's large third data release (DR3), extracting key stellar parameters using only photometric and astrometric data, as well as the Gaia low-resolution XP spectra.

"The high quality of the results reduces the need for additional resource-intensive spectroscopic observations when looking for good candidates to be picked-up for further studies, such as rare metal-poor or super-metal rich stars, crucial for understanding the earliest phases of the Milky Way formation," says Cristina Chiappini from AIP.

This technique turns out to be crucial for the preparation of future observations with multi-object spectroscopy, such as 4MIDABLE-LR, a large survey of the Galactic Disk and Bulge that will be part of the 4MOST project at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile.

"The new model approach provides extensive maps of the Milky Way's overall chemical composition, corroborating the distribution of young and old stars. The data shows the concentration of metal-rich stars in the galaxy's inner regions, including the bar and bulge, with an enormous statistical power," adds Friedrich Anders from ICCUB.

The team also used the model to map young, massive hot stars throughout the galaxy, highlighting distant, poorly-studied regions in which stars are forming. The data also reveal that there exist a number of "stellar voids" in our Milky Way, i.e. areas that host very few young stars. Furthermore, the data demonstrate where the three-dimensional distribution of interstellar dust is still poorly resolved.

As Gaia continues to collect data, the ability of machine-learning models to handle the vast datasets quickly and sustainably makes them an essential tool for future astronomical research.

The success of the approach demonstrates the potential for machine learning to revolutionize big data analysis in astronomy and other scientific fields while promoting more sustainable research practices.

Smart Pricing Strategies: How Analytics Elevates Seller Valuations

In a marketplace awash with variables, sellers who harness data analytics gain a crucial advantage. No longer confined to broad estimates or anecdotal evidence, today’s data-driven valuations deliver precision and confidence. From residential real estate to high-end collectibles, analytics transforms how sellers determine value, market their assets, and negotiate deals.

Unlocking Value with Diverse Data Sources

The backbone of any accurate valuation is high-quality data. Modern analytics platforms aggregate information from multiple channels: recent transaction records, active listing metrics, neighborhood demographic trends, and even online sentiment signals. By merging these sources, sellers obtain a multi-dimensional view of their asset’s worth. For example, predictive models can identify emerging hot spots in commercial property markets before traditional reports catch up. In the world of small business sales, examining foot traffic patterns and social engagement alongside financial statements reveals hidden growth potential that manual analysis might miss.

Key Analytics Tools for Enhanced Precision

A suite of specialized tools now empowers sellers at every level:

Dynamic Comparative Analysis: Automated engines pull thousands of comparable sales and adjust for variables like square footage, location, and recent renovations, yielding real-time price ranges.

Predictive Forecast Algorithms: Machine learning systems analyze historical data and current market dynamics to forecast future price shifts, helping sellers choose optimal listing windows.

Interactive Dashboards: User-friendly interfaces track critical indicators—days on the market, bid-to-list ratios, and buyer inquiry rates—allowing sellers to fine-tune marketing strategies and pricing in near real-time.

Social Sentiment Trackers: By monitoring online reviews, forum discussions, and social media chatter, sellers gauge buyer enthusiasm for niche products or specialized services, enabling premium pricing when demand spikes.

Each tool contributes to a more nuanced valuation. A homeowner might discover that properties with eco-friendly upgrades command 7% higher offers in their neighborhood, while a boutique retailer could see that limited-edition releases drive web traffic surges, justifying a markup above standard inventory prices.

Strengthening Negotiations Through Transparent Data

Data-driven valuations deliver more than numbers; they provide a clear narrative to back every price point. Armed with detailed reports, sellers can present buyers with visual evidence—charts illustrating local price appreciation, heat maps showing buyer interest zones, or trendlines of recent sales performance. This transparency fosters trust, reduces skepticism, and often accelerates deal closure. Moreover, sellers can simulate alternative scenarios, such as offering deferred payment options or bundling value-added services, to evaluate which concessions yield the highest net returns.

Real-World Impact and Best Practices

Consider the case of a small manufacturing firm preparing for sale. By employing predictive pricing tools, the owner identified that commodity costs were about to surge, suggesting that selling before the increase would yield a lower valuation. Armed with this insight, they expedited listing preparations and locked in a sale 10% above initial expectations. In another instance, a luxury watch dealer used sentiment analytics to identify peak interest for a rare edition, enabling them to launch a targeted marketing campaign that resulted in a bidding war and a final sale price 15% above the suggested retail value.

To replicate these successes, sellers should:

Select Trusted Platforms: Choose analytics solutions with robust data coverage in your market segment.

Continuously Update Data Feeds: Ensure that inputs—from transaction records to social metrics—remain current to reflect the latest trends.

Collaborate with Experts: Data alone is powerful, but combining analytics with industry expertise yields the best outcomes.

Communicate Clearly: Present findings in concise, visually engaging formats to inspire buyer confidence.

Looking Ahead: The Next Wave of Seller Analytics

The rise of artificial intelligence and real-time data integration promises even more sophisticated valuation techniques. In the near future, sellers may benefit from automated alerts that signal optimal listing moments based on breaking economic indicators or local policy changes. Blockchain-based registries could guarantee the authenticity of past transactions, further strengthening buyer trust. As tools evolve, sellers who integrate analytics into every stage—from valuation to negotiation—will secure faster sales and maximize their returns. By embracing data-driven strategies today, sellers position themselves at the forefront of a valuation revolution.

Do You Create Your Reality—Or Merely Perform It?

The Invisible Curtain Between Performer and Creator

Most people live their lives as if they are on a stage, acting out lines that were never theirs to begin with. But what if life isn't about memorizing a script? What if it’s about writing your own?

As an internationally recognized author, acting mentor, and founder of the Perceptual Acting and Directing (PAD) method, I have spent the last 17 years navigating the fragile terrain between the conscious actor and the unconscious self. This work, influenced by neuroscience, Eastern spirituality, and Western philosophy, uncovers one fundamental truth: many of us are simply performing our reality, not creating it.

This post is for those who want to shift from stage-bound roles to cosmic authorship. It's for the seekers, the artists, the scientists, the educators, and the curious souls who feel there is more to life than what meets the eye.

The Mask We Didn’t Know We Were Wearing

We enter the world and slowly adopt labels: student, daughter, artist, professional, partner. These identities become masks we wear not for performance, but for protection. The stage becomes life itself. Most people don’t realize they're acting until the scene changes unexpectedly—through loss, love, or awakening.

My own moment came during a stage performance 19 years ago. A single question disrupted everything I knew:

"Who am I?"

This question became the portal to a lifetime of exploration that merged theater with quantum physics, chakras with synapses, and soul work with the art of embodiment.

Performing vs. Creating – Understanding the Difference

To perform is to repeat, reproduce, and conform. To create is to originate, transform, and transmute.

Actors are trained to "be in the moment." But what happens when that moment is scripted by subconscious conditioning? You may speak your truth onstage but hide your truth offstage.

Here are some signs you may be performing life rather than creating it:

You feel trapped by societal roles or expectations.

Your decisions are motivated by fear, not inspiration.

You consistently override your intuition to meet external standards.

Creating your reality, on the other hand, means actively choosing your thoughts, energy, relationships, and creative output. It means letting go of linear thinking and stepping into a multi-dimensional awareness that says: "I am the actor, the director, the audience, and the playwright of my life."

The PAD Method – A Framework for Self-Authorship

The Perceptual Acting and Directing (PAD) theory is a groundbreaking methodology that emerged from my own spiritual and scientific journey. Rooted in transactional analysis, quantum consciousness, and method acting, PAD is not just for actors. It’s a manual for anyone seeking self-actualization.

The Five Supraconscious Paths of PAD:

Scientific Path (Brain): Understand how your internal thought-language shapes reality.

Artistic Path (Heart): Connect with your archetypes, empathy, and observer self.

Meditative Path (Spirit): Access subtle energies, chakras, and spiritual awareness.

Material Path (Body): Use sensory presence to interact authentically with the moment.

Consciousness Path (Soul): Harmonize ego, subconscious, and higher self into unity.

This multidimensional model helps participants rewrite their inner script and align with their Supraconscious potential.

Case Study – The Scientist Who Found His Soul

During one masterclass, a physicist attended out of curiosity. Trained in logic, he was skeptical of anything spiritual. But halfway through the session on "I, Me, Myself, and Ego," he wept.

"For the first time," he said, *"I saw that I've been hiding behind formulas because I was afraid of feeling. I've been performing intelligence. I want to create from truth now."

This is the power of merging neuroscience with inner knowing. This is Supraconscious work in action.

Practical Tools to Stop Performing and Start Creating

1. Daily Self-Observation (5 Minutes)

Use the Socratic Method with yourself. Ask:

Who am I right now?

What thought/emotion is directing my actions?

Am I choosing or reacting?

2. Micro-Ritual: The Mirror Dialogue

Stand before a mirror, breathe deeply, and state: "I am the creator of my experience. I observe my roles without becoming them."

3. Archetype Journaling

Choose one identity you play (e.g., Teacher, Lover, Warrior).

What are its beliefs?

What does it fear?

What does it want? Then ask: Is this the truest version of me?

4. Conscious Body Practice

Use your senses to anchor in the now.

Feel textures with your hands.

Eat slowly and observe flavors.

Listen fully without preparing a reply.

These bring you back from performance to presence.

Embracing the Unwritten Script

Letting go of performance mode is scary. It requires vulnerability, uncertainty, and trust in the unknown. But it also unlocks infinite creativity, inner peace, and magnetic authenticity.

When you live from your Supraconscious self:

You stop chasing roles.

You start attracting aligned people and opportunities.

You no longer seek applause—you seek alignment.

Conclusion: Are You Ready to Direct Your Own Life?

The masterclass, The Actor of the Future, is not just a theatrical event. It's a life portal. One that merges acting, consciousness, and quantum possibility to help you reclaim authorship of your own story.

You are not just an actor.

You are not just a thinker.

You are a Supraconscious Creator.

It’s time to move beyond performance and into purpose.

Join the Movement

The next in-person-only masterclass takes place on Saturday, June 21 in New York City. For those ready to dissolve the illusion of performance and begin the work of creation, visit: 👉 https://supraconscious.co/supraconscious-masterclass/

What is QML? How Can QML Serve as a Tool to Strengthen QKD

How Can Quantum Machine Learning Improve Quantum Key Distribution?

The QML definition

QML solves issues that traditional computers cannot using machine learning and quantum computing. Quantum mechanical ideas like superposition and entanglement may speed up data processing and analysis. QML can generate novel quantum-based algorithms or improve machine learning models.

Key Ideas:

Quantum computing uses qubits, which can be 0 or 1. This allows parallel processing and possibly faster computation for particular jobs.

Machine Learning: Prediction and decision-making using data.

QML blends the two by improving machine learning algorithms with quantum principles or running them on quantum computers.

QML, an interdisciplinary field that blends classical machine learning with quantum computing, will improveQuantum key distribution (QKD), a critical aspect of secure quantum communication systems. QML may improve quantum cryptography protocols' scalability, performance, and dependability in practice, according to recent studies. Data encoding and hardware limits hinder QML integration, which is relatively young.

The most useful use of quantum cryptography is QKD, which uses quantum physics rather than mathematical complexity to revolutionise secure communications. QKD enables two parties to create and exchange a private encryption key over a quantum channel, detecting eavesdropping. This detection capacity is enabled by QKD approaches' quantum particle disruption alerts while measuring or intercepting quantum particles like photons.

A study argues QML supports QKD in several crucial ways:

Improved State Selection and Error Reduction: QML algorithms can help choose quantum states for transmission by avoiding error-prone setups and repeated measurements.

Real-Time Anomaly Detection: QML models like quantum neural networks or quantum-enhanced classifiers can detect tampering or eavesdropping efforts by detecting deviations in predicted patterns like quantum bit error rates or transmission timing.

Optimising Protocols: QML can construct adaptive QKD protocols that adjust operating parameters to channel circumstances using reinforcement learning.

QML fixes side-channel weaknesses in physical implementations and improves quantum random number generators, which generate keys, in efficiency and unpredictability.

QML has several uses beyond QKD and quantum cryptography subjects such safe multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption. It may improve neural network training, reduce dimensionality using principal component analysis, create realistic data, speed up classification operations, find detailed patterns with Boltzmann machines, and cluster high-dimensional datasets. QML can also improve natural language processing, imaging, anomaly detection, supply chain and financial portfolio optimisation, molecular modelling for drug discovery and material development, and autonomous system policy optimisation.

Industry applications include energy grid optimisation, manufacturing scheduling, retail demand forecasting, financial risk management, public health modelling, aerospace trajectory optimisation, environmental modelling, healthcare diagnosis support, cybersecurity threat identification, and manufacturing scheduling.

QML relies on quantum computers to analyse big machine learning datasets. QML processes data faster using quantum principles like superposition and entanglement and qubits' sophisticated information encoding. This could lead to faster ML model training, better model training, and the chance to evaluate quantum-based ML algorithms. Quantum computers can see more complicated data patterns and calculate faster and with less energy.

Combining QML with QKD has challenges, despite its potential:

Current quantum hardware is unstable and unable to scale many QML algorithms.

Classical data conversion to quantum forms for processing is computationally expensive and error-prone.

Complexity, synchronisation issues, and latency result from combining conventional and quantum components.

Model Optimisation: Many QML models are updated from classical approaches, requiring more tailored quantum-native designs.

Algorithm Limitations: Quantum algorithms need more development to outperform conventional ones.

Limited Data and Integrations: QML lacks standardised integration methods with existing IT infrastructures, worsening data quality issues.

Researchers recommend creating QML frameworks tailored for cryptography applications that can run on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.

QML may improve quantum network robustness and flexibility as they evolve. QML's ability to manage distributed systems, diagnose issues, and optimise resource distribution will be vital in the future. QML could bridge the gap between scalable, secure infrastructure and fundamental physical principles in the quantum future to secure digital communication.
