Where the countries stand in Rio.

Australia and Hungary are tied atop the gold medal count as the second day of the 2016 Summer Olympics gets going in Rio de Janeiro. The United States, China and Japan are tops with five total medals, though USA and Japan each have just one gold and China has none.

The United States had a strong Saturday in the swimming pool, winning three medals. All were silver: the women's team in the 4x100m relay race (won by Australia), Chase Kalisz in the men's 400m individual medley (won by Japan's Kosuke Hagino) and Maya DiRado in the women's 400m IM (won by Hungary's Katinka Hosszu). The American swimmers didn't enter any of those races as the favorites, and they had good swims to earn their silvers.

The only American gold medal so far comes from the 10m air rifle. West Virginia University freshman Virginia Thrasher put the United States on the board with a close win against China's Du Li.

The United States has a handful of chances to add to its count on Sunday. Heading into all of that, here's the medal count on Sunday morning:

Country	Gold	Silver	Bronze	Total
Australia	2	0	1	3
Hungary	2	0	0	2
United States	1	4	0	5
South Korea	1	1	0	2
Japan	1	0	4	5
Argentina	1	0	0	1
Belgium	1	0	0	1
Russia	1	0	0	1
Thailand	1	0	0	1
Vietnam	1	0	0	1
China	0	2	3	5
Italy	0	1	1	2

He transformed digital computing and electronic communication Claude Shannon, nicknamed “the father of information theory” for his work on digital computing and electronic communication, was also ajuggling unicyclist who would have turned 100 on Saturday. To mark his birthday and his achievements, Saturday’s Google Doodle honored Shannon, depicting him juggling a set of ones and zeroes, the numbers he used to transform computing after learning they could be used to represent words, pictures, videos and more. While he was a research assistant at MIT, Shannon drew from Boolean algebra to pioneer digital computing, using the value of “1” for circuits turned on, and the value of “0” for circuits that were off.

Frank Ocean new album: How to listen and stream Boys Don’t Cry when it drops

After two missed release dates a year apart and a confusing decoy of a “live stream” video, Frank Ocean is set to finally release his second album, Boys Don’t Cry , on Friday 5 August. It will be launched through an exclusive deal with Apple Music, according to the New York Times , who cite a ‘person with knowledge of the release plans’. If indeed this is the case (and it would make sense, that live stream has an Apple watermark), it means you’ll need to sign up for Apple Music to listen to the Channel Orange follow-up, which costs £9.99 a month (£4.99 for students through Apple’s UNiDAYS promotion). You might want to turn off auto-renewal off though (Apple Music app > profile icon > View Apple ID. > Subscriptions > Manage > switch Auto-Renewal off), if you’re the kind of person who, like me, is liable to forget that you’ve signed up for the service indefinitely. Beyond Apple Music...
