>Brampton officials are issuing a forceful reminder to landlords about their legal responsibilities after a court ruling tied to a 2023 fatal house fire that killed a pregnant woman and her three‑year‑old daughter and left another family member with lifelong injuries.

>The property owner has now been convicted on seven charges and sentenced to 135 days in custody for smoke and CO alarm offences, $50,000 in fines, plus $10,000 in victim surcharges and two years’ probation, including a condition prohibiting similar offences or violations under any provincial or federal statute punishable by imprisonment

A first.

Been advocating for this for years. Austria is an excellent example of how co-op housing works and thrives.

Texas-based Greenland Energy had been just weeks away from sinking its first wells into the tundra of the remote Jameson Land region of Greenland.

I wanted to be a marine archeologist but I don't handle swells well...lol.

>Most of the ship’s cargo consisted of Dressel 1A amphorae, widely used to transport wine and particularly valuable to archaeologists because they can help reconstruct the commercial networks that linked Italy with other parts of the Mediterranean between the second and first centuries BC.

I want my own Hyper-Spectral Imaging System.

As a case study, the analysis of the “Polittico dell’Intercessione” (ca. 1425), a panel with five partitions (97 cm × 222 cm), painted by Gentile da Fabriano (c. 1370–1420), in the Church of San Niccolò Oltrarno in Florence, is reported.... 

In 1897, the panel was badly damaged by fire, which magnified the alterations induced by previous restoration. Therefore, the polyptych was considered to be irrevocably damaged and, consequently, was stored for decades, until 1995

If you haven't read it, I recommend. Read it again every year.

>Gore Vidal’s Creation takes readers on a vivid excursion through the 5th century B.C., showcasing an era filled with dynamic historical figures. The story unfolds through the eyes of Cyrus Spitama, the grandson of the renowned Zoroaster. This fictional diplomat offers a rich perspective on the tumultuous events of his time, including love, war, and philosophical debates. The narrative is layered with irony, humor, and insightful observations, illustrating Vidal’s exceptional storytelling prowess. Creation competently assembles a blend of philosophies, religious practices, and cultural reflections from ancient civilizations.

Gives me hope for the future.

>New research suggests that Mohenjo-daro followed a very different path from many other early cities. As the 4,000-year-old urban center became larger, more productive, and more successful, its society appears to have grown more equal rather than less.

>Historians have often argued that inequality increased when small farming settlements developed into cities. Under this traditional model, kings, priests, and other powerful leaders gained control of wealth and resources, causing the divide between rich and poor to expand.

There are some very expensive plans out that for six months of coverage while travelling. Do you have to list all the places you are going to get coverage?

Gregory Reynolds, Macro-Systemic Architect | Pioneer of Ontological Systems Engineering writes on LinkedIn in response to celebratory deal post:

>You mathematically cannot solve a 4-dimensional planetary crisis (Cyber, Physical, Social, Sovereign) with a 1-dimensional financial debt vehicle. When you attempt to force 1 Gigawatt of continuous power into a localized, highly stressed physical grid (like Texas’s ERCOT) just to run centralized probabilistic AI models, you violently collide with the physical limits of the Earth.

>As software engineer Dave McCrory established with the law of "Data Gravity," dragging zettabytes of raw data from the edges of the world into a massive, centralized Texas hub is thermodynamically exhausting. It burns massive kinetic energy, hollows out local communities, and contributes directly to the $33.8 Trillion dead-weight friction currently bleeding out of the global economy.

>The 20th-century instinct is to just pool more capital to build a heavier pipe. But we don't need a heavier pipe. We need an entirely new macroeconomic routing logic.

Valentín Lavín Romero is the 14th mayor to be murdered since 2024.

My friends who spend the winter in Mexico keep telling me that Mexico is nowhere near as violent as the news says...go figure.

Looking for the Endurace, Shakelton's ship, they discovered under the Larsen C Ice Shelf millions of nests of an icefish, the yellowfin notie (Lindbergichthys nudifrons).

“These fish live deep on the dark, cold Antarctic seabed,” says study author Connelly. “They build small, circular nests in the fine sediment, and then the males guard the eggs for around four months. Their main threat comes from predators on the seafloor, like brittle stars and predatory worms, which try to eat the eggs.”

Any recommendations for the fall on where to stay that is open or a casa or hostel or such? Much appreciate if you can let me know. I prefer quieter places and really like Cayo Coco but am open to suggestions.

I read that the the online ranks were bombed so asking here.And if you feel like it, tell me why those are your choices.
