From Highway to Mud Pit: Uttara Kannada–Sirsi Road Turns... Into Slush Nightmare Look at the condition of this road in Karnataka this is the Uttara Kannada Sirsi road. Thanks to our MLA, MP, and the state government for this worst kind of maintenance. What should have been a proper, motorable road has now turned into a muddy stretch filled with slush and deep potholes. This Uttara Kannada Sirsi road has become a nightmare for the public. Even buses are unable to cross smoothly, and bikers are struggling in the middle of the slush, risking accidents at every moment. Many vehicles are simply turning back because no one wants to get stuck or damage their vehicles. Local residents, daily commuters, school children, and emergency services are all suffering because of this pathetic condition. Where is the road? Is this what people pay taxes for? This is not just poor maintenance this is complete negligence. Authorities make big promises about development and infrastructure, but the ground reality on the Uttara Kannada Sirsi road tells a completely different story. Basic infrastructure like roads should be a priority, not an afterthought. The concerned officials and elected representatives must take responsibility immediately instead of ignoring the hardships faced by the people. The public deserves safe and proper roads, not this endless stretch of mud and inconvenience. #banalore #bengaluru #sirsi #uttarkannada 112 Uttara Kannada Deo UttaraKannada Ramalinga Reddy SP Karwar DK Shivakumar Siddaramaiah alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

💬 We get asked Should I pause my active... strategies when the market suddenly becomes highly volatile? ❕ Answer from a GT App Trader: Usually, high volatility is where manual traders lose the most due to panic. For automated strategies, however, sharp price swings are the best environment to stack gains. 🔸 Capitalizing on Swings When the price aggressively bounces up and down, the system executes trades much faster than any human. It snaps up assets on sudden drops and sells them instantly on the rebounds, turning chaos into systematic profit. 🔸 Volatility Protection Through the Strategy Builder, setups use dynamic grid spacing and safety orders. This means the strategy doesn't deploy all capital at once; it scales into positions safely as the market moves, lowering the average entry price. 🔸 No Emotional Mistakes The system sticks strictly to the set mathematical rules. It won't freeze, FOMO into a bad trade, or close a position early out of fear. It just executes. Don't fear the volatility, let the algorithms trade it.show more

Created with Seedance 2.0 on Yapper Prompt: In a... telekinetic action scene, a South Korean high school girl in a white short-sleeved shirt and gray pleated skirt stands calmly in the middle of a corridor. She is being attacked from both sides; some attackers, wearing brown school uniform jackets, wield short sticks, while others are dressed as black ninjas, creating a tense standoff in the corridor. As the enemies rush towards her, the girl unleashes a powerful telekinetic attack. Suddenly, everything around her enters a state of weightlessness and time freezes. Dozens of items—open textbooks, notebooks, a red soda can, and a wooden school chair—leave the ground, perfectly suspending themselves in mid-air. The attackers, in their lunging movements, are frozen in mid-air by an invisible force. Paper pages, scraps of paper, and dust float and swirl around her weightlessly. The camera slowly zooms in on the girl, perfectly freezing the chaotic corridor in the telekinetic-induced state of stillness and suspension. In the extreme stillness of the slowly zooming-in, frozen image, the girl's calm eyes narrow slightly. Immediately afterward, she calmly raised her right hand, her fingers loosely clenched, and then made a light yet decisive flick of her sleeve to either side of her body. In an instant, frozen time and gravity seemed to explode with this subtle gesture. A low rumble echoed in the air, and dozens of objects that had been suspended in mid-air—a heavy wooden school chair, scattered textbooks, even the red soda can—transformed into a dense projection, carrying powerful air currents, and were precisely launched towards the enemies attacking from both sides. At the same time, an invisible circular psychic shockwave violently spread out from the girl. The brown-uniformed attackers and black-clad ninjas, who had been frozen in mid-air, were instantly struck by this immense force, their bodies jolted violently, and they were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings to either end of the corridor. As gravity instantly returned, the wooden chairs shattered upon impact, textbooks scattered into a flurry of pages, and with the dull thud of heavy objects hitting the ground, the attackers collapsed onto the corridor floor, incapacitated. Silence returned to the corridor, broken only by countless tattered papers and fine dust drifting slowly in the air. The aftershocks of the shockwave ruffled the girl's bangs and hair. She remained composed, not even glancing at her fallen opponent. The girl slowly lowered her right hand, raised her slender left, and gracefully and calmly tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate and serene profile. The camera froze on this moment, the white papers falling around her like snowflakes, highlighting her still figure in a white short-sleeved shirt and gray pleated skirt. Then, the image faded out.show more

#Rameshwaram_Cafe #Pune If you’re wondering why this demolition happened,... let me explain the legal aspect as per PMC under the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (UDCPR). Every building is required to leave a margin space. Technically, this space is meant to remain open so that in case of an emergency, fire vehicles or other assistance can access the premises. However, in this particular case, the margin is along the roadside. The road itself can serve the purpose of emergency access. So practically speaking, the margin here does not add any real value. Still such unnecessary laws are made so that agencies can bring cases against you out of thin air. Now considering that this law already exists and we cant do much about it; the margin space must strictly be maintained, the only condition under UDCPR is that it must be kept “open to the sky.” In this case, it was open to the sky. The only modification made was a change in flooring, where slabs of different heights were designed on the ground floor by the cafe. I have read the UDCPR carefully, and nowhere does it mention that variable flooring design is prohibited in such open-to-sky margin areas. Therefore, this demolition does not appear to be entirely justified. It seems arbitrary and possibly driven by ego of PMC Care officers, especially if the café did not comply with unofficial expectations of bribe. IMO, The Rameshwaram Cafe shall take PMC to BHC and the same PMC is floting the UDCPR condition of max wall height of 1.5 meters. Will they demolish their own wall now? Doing business in India is not for weak; you’ve to manage everyday such non sense. PS: considering even 10L per day; this cafe paying 15L per month as GST and employment to over 50 people. Plus a corporate tax of 25% as advance tax. Punekar Newsshow more

Israel has confirmed its intention to occupy southern Lebanon.... 🇮🇱🇱🇧 The Defence Minister confirmed the armed forces’ intention to occupy the entire region south of the Litani River until the area is safe for the population and free of Hezbollah’s presence. Over the last few days, the Israeli air force has bombed the main evacuation bridges used by the Lebanese population to flee northwards, whilst IDF ground forces continue to build up along the border. The towns are subject to intense bombing and systematic destruction by Israel, which coincides with recent statements and speeches by the Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz (who ordered the destruction of border villages in southern Lebanon ‘in line with the model applied in Gaza’) and the Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who has threatened that “the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahiya) could soon resemble Khan Younis”. The main areas where Israeli forces are massing are located in the occupied Golan Heights and in Kiryat Shmona (which has come under heavy attack from Hezbollah in recent days), suggesting that these will be the main axes of the occupation: on the one hand, occupying new positions on the slopes of Mount Hermon, and on the other hand reaching the Litani River and advancing towards Wadi el-Hjeir, in order to ‘encircle’ the southern towns whilst advancing towards Tyre and along the secondary axes in the south. However, with Israel’s current capabilities, it could only create a buffer zone along the Lebanese border. The IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, warned at a security cabinet meeting on 25–26 March 2026 that the army “will collapse in on itself” if the manpower shortage is not resolved. He cited “10 red flags” (serious warnings), including the exhaustion of reservists who have already completed 6 or 7 rotations, the expansion of missions and the lack of new conscription laws. Furthermore, the military spokesperson, Brigadier General Effie Defrin, acknowledged that the IDF needs around 15,000 additional soldiers to fulfil current missions. Moreover, this does not take into account the additional reserve troops that will be required to sustain a long-term occupation on the ground, nor the cost this may entail, given the history of previous Israeli occupations of Lebanese territory.show more

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH IRAN -... Reporting Window: Last 24 Hours The last 24 hours reinforce the structure that has been developing across the war. Activity remained steady across Iran, Israel, Lebanon, and the Gulf, with no single breakthrough moment but continued pressure applied across every layer of the conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ STRIKES INSIDE IRAN Strikes continued across multiple areas inside Iran, including Tehran, Shiraz, Kermanshah, and Ahvaz. The targeting profile remains consistent with recent days, focused on systems tied to weapons development and military sustainment. In Tehran, reporting points to continued strikes on military-industrial infrastructure, including: *⃣ Weapons production and research facilities *⃣ Infrastructure around Mehrabad Airport *⃣ Sites linked to Iran’s advanced weapons programs, including SPND-related supply nodes There are also indications that some of these locations had secondary roles, including use by Basij-linked personnel. That aligns with the broader pattern of targeting not just hardware, but the networks that support it. The key point in this 24 hour window is continuity. The same categories of targets are being hit repeatedly, suggesting an effort to ensure these systems are not just damaged, but unable to recover quickly. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN RESPONSE Iran continues to respond. Current intelligence assessments indicate that roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers remain intact, along with a large drone inventory. At the same time, the operational pattern remains limited. Iran is still launching missiles and conducting attacks, but still not at the scale seen earlier in the war. The response appears to rely on: *⃣ Smaller salvos rather than sustained barrages *⃣ Continued willingness to strike civilian-adjacent targets *⃣ Expansion of pressure beyond Israel itself This reflects pressure on launch systems and coordination, not a lack of overall capability. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 LEBANON FRONT The Lebanon front remained active during this window, with both ground and air components continuing. Israeli forces carried out a targeted ground operation in southern Lebanon, resulting in direct engagement with Hezbollah fighters. Reporting indicates: *⃣ Israeli troops pushed deeper into southern لبنان *⃣ Hezbollah operatives were killed in close-quarters combat *⃣ Additional strikes were carried out against infrastructure using air, naval, and ground assets This is consistent with ongoing efforts to shape the immediate border area and reduce launch capability from southern Lebanon. At the same time, the front remains contained geographically, but active in terms of daily engagement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF AND REGIONAL ACTIVITY Regional expansion continues to be one of the most consistent elements of the war. Over the last 24 hours, Iranian attacks again targeted Gulf infrastructure, including: *⃣ A Kuwaiti oil refinery and desalination facility *⃣ Additional aerial threats across UAE airspace, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones *⃣ Civilian injuries linked to interception and debris in the UAE These are functional targets tied to energy and water systems, reinforcing the broader strategy of applying pressure beyond Israel. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ STRAIT OF HORMUZ Hormuz remains central to the strategic picture. Developments in this window include: *⃣ Ongoing discussions among multiple countries regarding how to reopen and secure the strait *⃣ Continued Iranian signaling around its ability to influence maritime traffic *⃣ Early indications of mediation channels involving Oman There is no resolution here yet, but the focus on Hormuz is becoming more operational and less theoretical. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ IRAQ Iraq emerged more clearly in this window the last 24 hours as a continued potential point of escalation. The U.S. embassy issued a warning that Iran-aligned militias could conduct attacks in Baghdad within 24 to 48 hours, with potential targets including: *⃣ Diplomatic facilities *⃣ Commercial and infrastructure sites *⃣ Areas frequented by U.S. personnel This aligns with the broader pattern of pressure expanding through proxy channels when direct options are constrained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW The structure of the war remains stable, but fully active: *⃣ Inside Iran, strikes continue to focus on production and sustainment systems *⃣ Iran retains significant capability, but is operating under constraints *⃣ Lebanon remains an active front with ongoing ground and air operations *⃣ The Gulf is consistently targeted, particularly energy and infrastructure systems *⃣ Iraq is showing early signs of becoming more active through proxy activity ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 MY ASSESSMENT This 24-hour window of time does not introduce a new dynamic. It confirms the current one. Israel is continuing to apply pressure across the systems that allow Iran to produce and coordinate military activity. Iran is continuing to respond within its constraints while expanding pressure across the region where it can. The result is a conflict that is not concentrated in one place, but distributed across multiple active fronts at once. That remains the defining characteristic of the war right now.show more

Brutal doesn’t even begin to cover it. Black African... “migrants”, illegals, economic opportunists, whatever fashionable euphemism the Brussels set prefers this week, hurling a shopping trolley off an overpass onto a busy EU highway, straight into the path of lorries and cars doing seventy. One wrong twitch, one split-second of distraction, and that’s families obliterated, drivers turned into statistics. What the hell are they playing at? This isn’t some jolly misunderstanding between cultures. This is raw contempt for the society that’s been forced to accommodate them. They don’t care. Not about the lives below, not about the rules of any civilised order, not about the country that’s given them sanctuary they never earned. They treat the infrastructure of Europe like their personal playground for mischief and malice. A shopping cart becomes a weapon. Next time it’ll be a breeze block, or worse. And the authorities? They’ll wring their hands, mutter about “integration challenges,” and carry on importing more. This is the death rattle of multiculturalism, laid bare for anyone still pretending it works. We were told diversity would enrich us, vibrant new neighbours bringing “spice” to our streets and innovation to our economies. What we got instead was parallel societies, no-go zones, and now this: deliberate sabotage of the arteries that keep a nation moving. The native peoples of these islands, and of the continent, built these motorways, these bridges, these societies. We maintained the peace, the trust, the high-trust order that lets strangers pass each other without calculating escape routes. Mass immigration from incompatible places has shattered that. It has imported low-trust, high-violence mindsets that see our generosity as weakness to be exploited. England and the British Isles don’t need lectures on tolerance from people who’d never tolerate this in their own ancestral homelands. We need to put our own first, our safety, our culture, our children’s future. End the experiment that’s bleeding us dry and endangering our people. No more excuses. How much more do the decent, law-abiding natives have to endure before the political class admits the bleeding obvious: diversity, as practised, has failed. Catastrophically. And it’s our people paying the price in blood. We must end this shit show.show more

🚨 MERCEDES JUST PUT A MOTOR ONLY 8 CM... THICK INTO A CAR THAT CAN HIT 62 MPH IN 2.1 SECONDS. Instead of conventional radial flux motors, Mercedes is betting big on axial flux technology. In these motors, the electromagnetic force flows parallel to the axle, allowing two magnetic rotors to sandwich a central stator in a flat, disc-like layout. The result is dramatically smaller and more powerful. The front motor in the new all-electric Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe is just 9 cm wide. The rear motors are even thinner at roughly 8 cm each. Despite their tiny size, they help launch the heavy performance car from 0-62 mph in just 2.1 seconds, with a top speed of up to 186 mph. Why this matters: • Axial flux motors are significantly more power-dense and can be up to 50% lighter than traditional designs • Their extreme thinness frees up packaging space in the vehicle for better weight distribution, aerodynamics, or interior room • Mercedes acquired YASA in 2021 and has spent years developing the complex manufacturing processes needed to build them at scale • The technology is debuting in a high-performance AMG model, showing Mercedes is serious about using it in its most demanding cars The deeper implication: While most of the EV conversation focuses on batteries and software, the electric motor itself is undergoing a quiet revolution. Axial flux designs have long been seen as theoretically superior but extremely difficult to manufacture at scale. By solving the production challenges and putting these motors into a real high-performance car, Mercedes is pushing the entire industry forward. The next generation of electric performance cars may not just have bigger batteries they may have fundamentally better motors. We’re watching the physical hardware of EVs evolve as dramatically as the software has. How important do you think motor technology (rather than just battery size) will be for the future of electric performance cars?

President Zelenskyy is in Canada today. His visit is... primarily about air defense for Ukraine and how Ukraine can survive the winter. This is the right priority: the sky above Ukrainian cities is currently more important than any concepts. But I would look at this visit more broadly. Canada is currently restructuring its defense policy toward Europe, and Ukraine can take a significantly more important place in this restructuring than is visible from the list of aid packages. We are talking about the Canada–EU–Ukraine triangle. This is not an alternative to NATO, but rather an additional mechanism within Euro-Atlantic security. Why is this happening right now? There are four reasons: the lasting confrontation with Russia, growing threats in the Arctic and North Atlantic, Europe's need to take care of its own defense, and uncertainty regarding the duration, terms and conditions that the US will remain a guarantor of security. I will start with Canada. In 2025, PM Carney said that about 75 cents out of every dollar of Canadian capital defense spending goes to American suppliers. Therefore, Canada is now setting a course toward diversification. At the same time, there are no intentions to sever ties with Washington. Canadian defense-industrial strategy explicitly emphasizes strong relations with the United States. The second Canadian motive is the Arctic. Seven out of eight Arctic states are now in NATO. Russia remains the main military threat in the region, while China is increasingly taking an active interest in resources and routes. But for Ottawa, the North is also a matter of sovereignty. At the Canadian-Nordic Summit in Oslo in March, leaders specifically emphasized the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states. Against the backdrop of disputes surrounding Greenland and talk about a "51st state," a closer security partnership with Europe gives Canada more political support in these matters. And thirdly, let's be honest: in terms of military capabilities, Canada is not a giant. It only plans to reach 2% of GDP on defense this fiscal year. Canada's strength lies in geography and coalitions: in the fact that, together with the US, it secures NORAD while simultaneously building bridges to Europe. And why does Europe need Canada? Because Europe's need is not just weapons, but also the ability to move troops, equipment, and resources across the Atlantic. The JFC Norfolk command, which is responsible for maritime communications between North America and Europe, as of December 2025 also covers Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The Atlantic, the North, and the East of Europe in NATO planning are increasingly becoming a single space. Canada in this scheme is the other shore of the Atlantic. The most interesting thing is that elements of the Canada-EU-Ukraine triangle are already working. SAFE is the first of them. This is a European concessional loan mechanism for joint defense procurement, worth EUR 150 billion. The main condition is that the money must work for the European defense industry. Therefore, at least 65% of the component value in a contract must be European. Under SAFE rules, items produced in Ukraine count as European, on equal footing with products from EU countries, Norway, or Iceland. Canada was also admitted to the mechanism, becoming the first non-European country to join. Joint production is the second one. In May, the defense ministries of Ukraine and Canada signed an agreement to produce Ukrainian reconnaissance drones in Canada for the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the Airlogix-Sentinel joint venture. Ukraine provides battle-tested technology; Canada provides manufacturing capacity and funding. This is no longer aid, it's a manufacturing partnership. The third one: money. The NATO Ankara Declaration recorded that European allies and Canada are already funding the vast majority of security assistance to Ukraine. The threats facing all three sides are also shared. The most vivid example is underwater infrastructure. According to Reuters that cites two Western officials, in the spring, Britain, Norway, and the US tracked Russian GUGI submersibles that were practicing the use of means for covertly disabling cables near Svalbard. For Canada, this concerns trans-Atlantic communications and Arctic surveillance. For the EU: cables, ports, and energy grids. For Ukraine: energy infrastructure and the Black Sea infrastructure. What does Ukraine bring to this arrangement? We bring experience that neither Canada nor most European armies possess: high-intensity warfare against Russia, mass deployment of drones, electronic warfare, intelligence, and protecting infrastructure under constant attack. Chatham House, in a May report, directly proposes integrating Ukraine into NATO's Eastern Sentry, as well as into the EU's Eastern Flank Watch and Drone Defense Initiative, arguing that Ukrainian solutions could make the defense of the continent against drones more cost-effective. Ukraine, without a full-fledged navy, forced the Russian Black Sea Fleet to withdraw its main forces from Sevastopol, Crimea. This experience is directly relevant to both the Baltic and the North Atlantic. Shared maritime situational awareness from the Black Sea to the Arctic (Canadian space capabilities, European surveillance programs, and Ukrainian practical experience) would allow monitoring the Russian navy, shadow tankers, and underwater infrastructure as a single theater. Cooperation between Canada and the EU can reduce dependence on unstable supply chains. Canada possesses significant reserves of critical materials, important among other things for the defense industry, whereas the EU depends on China for critical raw materials. Combining Canadian resources, European manufacturing capacity, and Ukrainian technology could create a distinct trans-Atlantic supply chain. Energy cooperation should be long-term. Canada does not yet have sufficient infrastructure on its Atlantic coast to quickly replace Russian energy resources in Europe. However, it can gradually become one of the sources of the EU's energy security. This applies not only to LNG, but also to critical materials, nuclear fuel, and the protection of energy infrastructure. The role of the United Kingdom should not be underestimated, as well. It plays a significant role in the security of the North Atlantic, the GIUK gap, the protection of underwater infrastructure, and the development of the Atlantic Bastion concept, fitting naturally into a broader security system beyond the Canada–EU–Ukraine format. However, this specific triangle holds distinct significance because it combines Canada, European institutions, and Ukraine's gradual integration into the European defense market. Thus, Ukrainian president's visit to Canada does not create a triangle in itself. But it shows that there are elements that are already working: SAFE, where Ukrainian content is counted toward European content; JFC Norfolk, which stitches the Atlantic to the North and East of Europe; Ukrainian drones manufactured in Canada; and funding, the main share of which is already borne by Europe and Canada. The potential for deepening cooperation within the triangle lies in joint projects: air defense and counter-drone measures, maritime situational awareness from the Black Sea to the North Atlantic, protection of underwater infrastructure, and raw material supply chains.show more

💥 This is an online briefing circulating about the... incident (The incident site was only about four miles from Zhongnanhai) : Incident No.: 2026-06-26-STFS-01 Incident Type: Suspected crash after loss of contact during general aviation local training Date of Incident: June 26, 2026 Time of Incident: 17:30–17:40 Location: Beijing Shifosi General Aviation Airport and the airspace near the East Fifth Ring Road to its west Operating Unit: Dongshi Shuangyue (Beijing) General Aviation Co., Ltd. Aircraft Information: Registration No. B-12PP Flight Personnel: Liu Junhua, a club member conducting a local solo flight I. Flight Overview This was a solo training flight by a club member within the local airspace, with the planned training subject being local takeoffs and landings. At 17:30, the aircraft took off normally from Shifosi Airport. At 17:40, as the crew prepared to return for landing and join the westbound traffic pattern for Runway 18, abnormal control behavior occurred. The aircraft did not properly enter the local traffic pattern. Instead, it continued maintaining a heading of 270 degrees due west and flew beyond the local controlled airspace. Local ADS-B monitoring continued until the aircraft reached the area near Beijing’s East Fifth Ring Road, after which its signal disappeared. The ground control tower then coordinated with regional approach control and Air Force control authorities, making repeated radio calls, but received no response. The aircraft lost contact. II. Key Timeline At 17:30, B-12PP took off from Shifosi Airport for a local solo training flight. At 17:40, it prepared to join the west-side traffic pattern for Runway 18 for approach and landing. The aircraft’s heading became abnormal, continuing on a 270-degree heading and flying westward out of the local airspace. The flight track reached the area near the East Fifth Ring Road, where the ADS-B signal was lost. Approach control and Air Force control were contacted, but the aircraft never responded by radio and was considered missing. III. Preliminary Risk and Problem Analysis Insufficient solo-flight control: The member was flying alone, without instructor monitoring, meaning there was no condition for intervention or emergency handling once a special situation occurred. Severe deviation from the flight pattern: During the approach phase, the aircraft failed to fly according to the standard traffic pattern. Its heading continued to deviate, causing it to cross the boundary and enter sensitive airspace over the city. Complete failure of communication and surveillance: ADS-B and radio communication failed, creating extremely high risk. Serious airspace safety hazard: A low-altitude general aviation aircraft crossed the boundary into the airspace above a built-up urban area, posing major safety risks on the ground. IV. Possible Causes Pending confirmation by official investigation Human factors: Pilot error, spatial disorientation, physical incapacitation, etc. Mechanical failure: Failure of the flight control system, engine, or electrical system, causing the heading to become uncorrectable and communication/surveillance to be interrupted. Equipment failure: Failure of ADS-B or the radio transponder, resulting in loss of signal and inability to establish contact. Some people online also found a photo of a Liu Junhua who is deputy general manager of the Discretionary Mandate and Solutions Department at CITIC Bank’s Asset Management Business Center, and claimed that she was the aircraft’s pilot. The building that was struck, China Zun — also known as CITIC Tower — is precisely where CITIC Group is headquartered. However, others have come forward saying that the pilot was not the Liu Junhua from CITIC. There are also two LinkedIn photos of Liu Junhua from CITIC in the comment section.show more

😓 Air India 🇮🇳 Flight AI171 with fully loaded... Boeing 787-7 Dreamliner fatal accident: I‘m an airline pilot with >15‘000h of experience and a physics institute: My brief PRELIMINARY analysis of the visible facts from the video of the takeoff: * The flaps are only slightly extended, presumably to position 1 instead of 5. * The landing gear is still extended, which should have been retracted at this altitude and causes additional drag. * The aircraft is at a high angle of attack, which confirms the insufficient flap setting. * From the video and witness accounts, only low engine noise is audible. * Neither smoke nor fire is visible. * An engine failure is less likely. The most probable cause is presumably a human factor, an incorrectly chosen, insufficient flap setting for takeoff, and consequently an inadequately selected thrust. In this context, the correlated speeds were too low because they were calculated for a larger flap setting or a lighter aircraft. As a result, the aircraft took off with insufficient speed and intentionally but falsely derated thrust, was therefore on the unstable side, and rapidly lost more speed and altitude due to the additional failure to retract the landing gear in a timely manner, leading to a subsequent stall at low altitude and crash. For the experts: the aircraft got onto the wrong side of the speed vs drag curve and maneuvered itself into a corner from where there is no escape. Another possible cause could also have been an incorrect input of a wrong takeoff weight into the Flight Management System, resulting in too low thrust and too low speeds. The pilots got startled after takeoff, couldn’t wrap their head around what went wrong and incorrectly prioritized making an emergency call instead of flying the aircraft first, manually increasing thrust immediately to maximum, and retracting the landing gear. In summary of this very early and preliminary assessment (your confidence level should be as low as mine): The most probable cause is human error 😓 - as most of the time these days. Not because the pilots got worse (although that effect can be observed as well with prioritization of diversity over competence) - but because technology got so much better.show more

Just finished a one-week trip to China. I've now... "survived" all the major (~20) L2 self-driving and robotaxi vehicles in both the US and China. Some thoughts & observations: ▶️L2 self-driving I tested major brands like $Huawei, $Li, $NIO, $Xpeng, and $Xiaomi. Overall, they exceeded my expectations. The rides were not overly cautious and handled complex situations (yes, road conditions in China are very challenging!) quite well. Nothing compares to $Tsla's approach. I see imitation learning/end-to-end as the only effective approach for self-driving. While Chinese peers perform well on main roads, they struggle on frontage roads due to reliance on high-precision maps and rule-based methods (e.g. cars stopped in the middle of the road where there was no clear white lining). Chinese EVs' self-driving capabilities are far ahead of those from US and EU brands. I doubt any Chinese players can profit from L2 self-driving, not because it’s not useful, but because it’s hard to differentiate, and price wars dominate the market in China. Chinese consumers and regulators seem much more receptive to self-driving. Even with a 5/10 self-driving capability, cars are practically *hands-free(!)* Insurance-wise, for L3+ cars, OEMs bear responsibility for incidents, so OEMs avoid labeling cars as L3+. ▶️Robotaxi I tested major brands like $Didi, and $Bidu. I'd rate equal to $Waymo, and it's ahead of other peers. However, the same issue applies here: user experience is nearly perfect (in Yizhuang, Beijing), but expansion is the real question. Chinese robotaxi companies are very sophisticated. While the rest of the world focuses on technology, Chinese peers treat it as a product, considering unit economics, operations, mass production, etc. Interestingly, most companies expressed a preference NOT to operate fleets themselves. They aim to be asset-light and let fleet managers handle operations. Policy Support: China has a very clear approval process, driven by data (autonomous driving distance, fully driverless distance, intervention rate, passenger ratings, etc.). ▶️Chinese EVs In major cities like Beijing or Shanghai, EV adoption (green license plates vs. gas cars with blue license plates) seems to be 40%+. If 40% of cars on the road are EVs, then EV penetration (defined as the % of new car sales) must already be over 50%. In shopping malls, the ground floor is filled with EV showrooms—easily 10+ brands, many of which are unfamiliar Chinese brands. It appears almost too easy to make an electric car, which is a stark contrast to the US. $Xiaomi, for example, can achieve a 10% gross profit margin in its first year of operation, compared to $RIVN's -45%. Additionally, $Xiaomi cars are priced at 30% of $RIVN's price. It's fascinating to see how China transitioned from "couldn't make their own gas cars at all (only JVs)" to "dominating EVs globally." The government deserves credit for setting the direction and executing effectively. China now controls the entire supply chain, with $CATL holding 40% of the global market share. 🔹How did it happen? The success of the industry Incentives were set just right: the government provided incentives early on to make EVs and gas cars have comparable MSRPs, allowing consumers to choose based on functionality. This approach differs from how the IRA offers incentives... Perfectly competitive market: $TSLA was brought in, and competition was welcomed, unlike the US, which has a 100% import tax on Chinese EVs. Strategic regulations: License plate restrictions were used effectively; for example, taxis and minivans are required to be EVs. 🔹The challenges Despite the success, the industry faces challenges with low-margin companies and struggling stocks. The intense competition shows no sign of ending. Well-funded global OEMs and Chinese state-owned car companies continue to subsidize, leading to new EV brands emerging annually. The natural tendency in China is to race to the bottom. I think this ties back to China's history as the "world’s factory," where manufacturers price products at "cost plus" versus the US and developing countries, which price based on "affordability/value creation." 🔹The wow EV feature >Software features that surprised me the most: - Everything in the car can be voice-controlled. Not just simple tasks like playing music; users can adjust the height of the steering wheel and set the temperature easily. - Self-parking, which $Tsla has yet to release to all FSD users, is already a table stake in China (I'd rate the quality as 10/10). >Other fun hardware features: - Mini fridges in the car - Infotainment systems - IoT: remote access the car/home via cellphone - all connected together - Heads-up displays - UV-protected glass roofs: $Xiaomi took $Tsla's design, but the glass roof of the $Xiaomi car is made of double layers with silver, blocking 99.9% of UV and infrared rays...as a result, heat is no longer a problem inside the carshow more

Facial reconstruction of a 3,750-year-old acromegalic Aryan smith from... Chelyabinsk He belonged to the proto-Indo-Iranian Sintashta culture, which traces its origins farther to the west in Europe. In the late 1970s, archaeologists discovered a fortified settlement of the Sintashta people in the Troitsk district of the Chelyabinsk region, which was named Chernorechye-III. A few years later, not far from it, researchers also identified the ancient cemetery of Krivoe Ozero, where its inhabitants may have been buried. In the third grave of barrow number ten, archaeologists found the skeleton of an adult who had been buried on his side with bent legs and arms, with the hands positioned close to the face. Alongside the skeleton, scientists found ceramic vessels, animal bones, metal objects and fragments of them, as well as pieces of ore and slag. Anthropologists determined that the skeleton belonged to an adult man approximately 164-167 cm tall, who died at an age of over 50. On his bones they identified signs that during his life he had performed heavy physical labor, with more strain on the arm muscles than on the legs. Together with the finds of ore, slag, and metal items, this suggests, according to the researchers, that the burial most likely belongs to an ancient metallurgist who worked in processing copper ore, forging bronze tools, and possibly frequently pumped air into furnaces using bellows. In addition, anthropologists noted this man’s atypical appearance, which differed significantly from the general Sintashta population. Apparently, he suffered from acromegaly - a pituitary disorder that leads to the enlargement and thickening of cranial bones. Moreover, the analysis of ore from this man’s grave showed the presence of material from gold-copper-porphyry deposits. The nearest such deposit with evidence of ancient mining is located in the Ural-Mugodzhary mining-metallurgical center - roughly 300-350 kilometers south of the cemetery. This likely indicates contacts between the Sintashta people and inhabitants of more southern regions. The paleoanthropological material from the site was described by G. V. Rykushina (Rykushina 2003), unfortunately only at the individual level. The author noted the presence of morphologically different skulls in the sample - Europoid (kurgan 1, burial 3; kurgan 10, burial 3; kurgan 10, burial 34), gracile Europoid (kurgan 9, burial 7), and a Europoid skull with equatorial features (kurgan 10, burial 6). Based on the study of pathological markers (such as mastoiditis, cranial infections, and diseases of the dental-jaw system), the author suggested that this group had immigrated from a different climatic zone (Rykushina 2003: 360). A particularly specific skull that should be noted is from kurgan 10, burial 3, which is characterized by overall maturization, dolichocrany, a high cranial vault, a large facial skeleton, and moderate horizontal profiling with a strongly projecting nose. One must agree with G. V. Rykushina’s observation of signs of hormonal disorders that led to the development of acromegaly (Rykushina 2003: 352). This likely caused changes in the size of the facial skeleton, primarily in height and width. However, even without considering these pathologies, this skull is quite distinctive. (E. P. Kitov, A. A. Khokhlov, P. S. Medvedeva 2018) The man had a medium-large cranial length of 182 mm, a medium-small cranial width of 135 mm, and a broad cheekbone width of around 145 mm.show more

🚨OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC... - Reporting Window: 3/14 to 3/16 • The war widened further into the Gulf economy, with drone incidents near Dubai Airport, disruption at Fujairah energy infrastructure (also in the UAE), and continued pressure around the Strait of Hormuz • Israel continued deep strike waves inside Iran while expanding ground operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon • Iran continued missile salvos toward Israel while activating proxy pressure fronts across Iraq • The U.S. began pushing for a multinational Hormuz security coalition while calibrating escalation to avoid a global oil shock The last 48 hours showed that the war is no longer just about missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. It is increasingly a contest over the regional system itself: energy flows, maritime routes, proxy networks, and command infrastructure. While Israel continues to degrade Iran’s military capabilities, Iran is trying to widen the battlefield economically and geographically. 📽️VIDEO 1: U.S. strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub. 📽️VIDEO 2: Smoke rising from oil infrastructure in Fujairah after drone debris caused a fire. *⃣ GULF FRONT: THE ECONOMIC WAR DEEPENED This remained the most strategically important development. Following earlier strikes around Kharg Island and threats to the Strait of Hormuz, pressure on Gulf infrastructure continued. Drone incidents and debris related fires disrupted operations near Fujairah’s energy infrastructure, one of the world’s largest bunkering hubs in the UAE. Shortly afterward, a drone related incident near Dubai International Airport ignited a fuel tank and temporarily disrupted flight operations before authorities contained the fire and resumed traffic. These incidents show the war repeatedly touching civilian energy and logistics infrastructure in the UAE, not just military facilities. Even limited disruptions matter in this region. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20 percent of global oil supply, and repeated incidents have pushed oil prices above $100 during the week. Iran does not need to fully close Hormuz to achieve strategic leverage. Persistent disruption alone can force insurance spikes, rerouting of shipping, and higher global energy prices. *⃣ KHARG ISLAND: IRAN’S ECONOMIC JUGULAR IS NOW UNDER DIRECT PRESSURE One of the most consequential developments in the war involves Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export terminal. Historically, roughly 85 to 90 percent of Iran’s crude exports pass through Kharg, making it the single most important node in the country’s energy economy. Recent U.S. strikes targeted military infrastructure associated with IRGC naval operations near the island, particularly facilities linked to mine laying capability and coastal missile systems. These strikes appear connected to Washington’s warning that Iran must not deploy naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. There are also scattered reports of secondary explosions and possible infrastructure damage near the port, though there is no credible confirmation that the export terminal itself has been destroyed. That distinction is important. Destroying Kharg outright would cripple Iran’s oil exports overnight and likely trigger a massive oil price spike. Instead, the current targeting pattern appears designed to threaten Iran’s economic lifeline without fully collapsing it, maintaining pressure while avoiding the most extreme global economic consequences. *⃣ IRAN: STRIKES INSIDE THE CORE CONTINUED Inside Iran, Israeli strike activity remained intense. Over the last 48 hours, strikes targeted command infrastructure, missile launch systems, air defense networks, and military production sites across Tehran and other strategic locations. The campaign also hit Mehrabad Airport, where Israeli officials reported destroying aircraft associated with Iran’s leadership. Across central and western Iran, the strike map remains broad. Tehran, Karaj, and several other military zones have continued to appear in overnight strike reporting. This suggests the campaign is still focused on systematically degrading Iran’s military capacity, particularly missile infrastructure and command networks. Rather than shifting toward a narrow endgame phase, the strikes indicate a continued effort to keep Iran’s launch capabilities suppressed. *⃣ LEBANON: THE NORTHERN FRONT IS EXPANDING The Lebanon front also escalated further. Israeli forces expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon and reportedly encircled Khiyam, pushing westward toward the Litani River. This represents a larger ground posture than earlier border operations and indicates Israel is attempting to shape the battlefield against Hezbollah rather than simply retaliating against rocket launches. At the same time, Hezbollah continued firing rockets and drones toward northern Israel, maintaining pressure on the northern front even after suffering extensive infrastructure losses earlier in the war. Israel has continued heavy strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon, including operational sites and logistical facilities tied to the group’s missile network. The northern theater now appears to be entering a phase of attrition and positional pressure, rather than the limited cross border exchanges that characterized earlier weeks. *⃣ IRAQ: PROXY PRESSURE ON THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES Iran aligned militias continued attacks on U.S. positions across Iraq. Over the past several days these groups have launched drones and rockets against American bases and diplomatic infrastructure, including a missile strike on the helipad area of the U.S. embassy compound in Baghdad. These attacks serve two purposes: ➡️First, they impose direct costs on U.S. operations in the region. ➡️Second, they force the United States to divert resources toward base defense and interception missions. Even when damage is limited, the attacks expand the battlefield and complicate the operational environment for U.S. forces. *⃣ IRANIAN MISSILE ATTACKS CONTINUE Iran continued launching missiles toward Israel during this period. Several salvos targeted southern Israel and the Negev region, triggering repeated air raid alerts. Despite continued launches, the overall military impact of these attacks appears limited. Israeli air defense systems including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and U.S. systems such as THAAD have maintained high interception rates. Iran is still able to launch missiles and drones, but the sustained strikes on launchers, command centers, and production facilities appear to be reducing the scale of its barrages compared to the opening days of the war. *⃣ WASHINGTON: TRUMP SIGNALS A LONGER STRATEGIC GAME The political messaging from Washington over the past 48 hours has also clarified the broader strategic direction. Publicly, Trump has suggested the war could end soon and that most major Iranian targets have already been struck. Operationally, however, the signals point toward preparation for a longer campaign. Washington has begun pushing for a multinational coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, urging countries that depend on Gulf energy flows to participate in maritime security operations. At the same time, the United States has been careful not to push escalation to the point of triggering a global energy shock. This balancing act helps explain why certain targets, such as Kharg Island’s export terminal, have been threatened but not completely destroyed. The strategic posture appears to be: ➡️sustain pressure on Iran’s military capability ➡️protect global energy flows ➡️avoid triggering a catastrophic oil price spike Israel’s priorities are somewhat different. Israel is focused primarily on maximizing military degradation of Iran and Hezbollah, even if that increases regional escalation risks. The dynamic between Washington’s economic caution and Israel’s military pressure is likely to shape the next phase of the conflict. *⃣ WHAT CHANGED IN THE LAST 48 HOURS Three developments stand out: ➡️First, the Gulf economic front is becoming central to the war. Drone incidents near Dubai and Fujairah show that the conflict is now directly touching regional infrastructure and global energy flows. ➡️Second, Israel continues to widen the battlefield rather than narrow it. Deep strikes inside Iran and expanded operations in Lebanon suggest the campaign is still in a degradation phase. ➡️Third, the United States is beginning to shift toward coalition management of the conflict, particularly around Hormuz, while trying to prevent the war from triggering a global energy crisis. In short, the war is evolving from a direct military confrontation into a broader struggle over regional stability, energy flows, and long term strategic balance in the Middle East.show more

$QUBIC The 3 Performance Scenarios (2026 Projections) Currently, Qubic... is floating with a market cap around $100M to $150M. Compared to AI giants like Bittensor ($TAO) which have already hit multi-billion dollar valuations, the upside potential is mathematically massive. 1. The "Fundamental Catch-up" Scenario (Probability: High) • Target: Reaching mid-cap AI status. • Performance: 10x to 15x • Price Target: ~$0.000010 - $0.000012 • Catalyst: The massive adoption of Oracle Machines (launched this Jan 21st) and real-world network usage for training lightweight AI models. At this stage, Qubic enters the Global Top 100. 2. The "Euphoria / Tier-1 Listing" Scenario (Probability: Moderate) • Target: Listing on major exchanges (Binance/Coinbase) and the explosion of the DePIN/AI narrative. • Performance: 40x to 60x • Price Target: ~$0.000040 - $0.000050 • Catalyst: This is where the 55% burn rate leverage hits hard. If demand surges while supply is aggressively burned by smart contract fees and Doge/XMR mining buybacks, we witness a "supply squeeze." Qubic begins to rival the peak valuations of previous cycle leaders. 3. The "AI Sovereignty" Scenario (Probability: Speculative) • Target: Aigarth becomes a credible, decentralized alternative to closed-source "Big Tech" models. • Performance: 100x and beyond • Price Target: ~$0.000080+ (deleting two zeros) • Catalyst: Qubic becomes the base layer for the "Internet of Machines." The token is no longer just a currency; it becomes "digital oil" required to power global decentralized intelligence. Why This Performance is Possible (The Analyst's Alpha) What sets Qubic apart from other "AI coins" is its internal economic engine: 1. Forced Deflation: With the activation of execution fees on January 14, 2026, every on-chain DeFi interaction destroys tokens. In a bull run, on-chain activity spikes by 1000%, mechanically accelerating scarcity. 2. Real Yield (uPoW): In 2026, investors are fleeing "vaporware." Qubic generates value through "Useful Proof-of-Work." The imminent shift to Doge mining (alongside AI) creates a unique liquidity bridge with one of the largest retail ecosystems. 3. Accessibility: The "MetaMask Snap" and Solana/L2 bridges have finally solved Qubic’s technical isolation. Liquidity can now enter with a single click. Analyst's Verdict Qubic is the ultimate "High-Risk, High-Reward" play of 2026. It’s not a coin for a 24-hour flip; it’s a bet on the decentralized AI infrastructure of the future. Expert Tip: In this 2026 bull run, don’t just watch the price. Watch the weekly burn rate. If the burn rate exceeds emissions (which is mathematically possible by Q2), we won't just be in a bull run we'll be in a parabolic "hyper-deflationary" event. And you? What is your prediction?show more

Nancy Pelosi didn’t just beat the market. She beat... Warren Buffett, on returns, on timing, and on trade precision. Since 2012, portfolios tracking Pelosi-family trades have posted gains north of 500%, while the S&P 500 sits closer to 220% and Berkshire Hathaway roughly 200% over the same period. Buffett did it with public theses, decade-long horizons, and massive capital drag. The Pelosi household did it faster, cleaner, and repeatedly in sectors whose fortunes are inseparable from legislation, regulation, and federal spending. That contrast is the story. One model depends on analysis and patience. The other benefits from proximity to power. The defense is now muscle memory: she doesn’t trade, her husband does. In the real world, that distinction collapses instantly. Same household. Same incentives. Same beneficiaries. Information doesn’t simply vanish at the dinner table, and markets don’t care whose name is on the brokerage account when the gains flow into the same family balance sheet. Spousal trading isn’t insulation from influence, it’s deniability engineered into the rules. Look closer and the most revealing detail isn’t even the returns. It’s the confidence. These were not timid, diversified allocations. They were large, concentrated positions placed ahead of regulatory shifts, funding decisions, enforcement restraint, and industrial-policy pivots. Big Tech. Semiconductors. Defense-adjacent winners. Again and again, the trades aligned with the direction of state power. That pattern doesn’t emerge from poring over earnings calls. It emerges from knowing which levers are about to move. The system doesn’t restrain this behavior; it enables it. Under current law, lawmakers can disclose trades up to 45 days after execution. That delay is sold as transparency while functioning as a built-in edge and impunity. By the time the public sees the paperwork, the advantage has already compounded. A confession after the fact is not accountability. It’s permission. If a corporate executive, hedge fund manager, or banker placed trades with this level of timing, concentration, and policy alignment, regulators would treat it as insider trading. Investigations would follow. Careers would end. The only reason it isn’t called that here is because the people writing the laws exempted themselves. All of this unfolds while the public is lectured about democracy, ethics, norms, and misinformation. Meanwhile, the Pelosi household’s wealth, routinely estimated in the mid nine figures, has grown during the very years it sat at the apex of legislative authority. People aren’t confused anymore. They’re watching power outperform productivity in real time, then listening to sermons explaining why they shouldn’t notice and why they must play by a very different set of rules. The solution isn’t complicated, which is precisely why it’s resisted. No stock trading for members of Congress. No stock trading for spouses. Mandatory blind trusts. Real-time disclosure with real penalties. If that sounds radical, then stop pretending this is public service. It’s public access, privately monetized, and the graph everyone’s sharing just made it impossible to unsee. When the same act is punished as insider trading on Wall Street but rewarded as “savvy investing” in Congress, the problem isn’t corruption, but legitimacy. And legitimacy, once lost, doesn’t come back with lectures.show more
