just now (407+ words) You need to show you are'doing'reforms so that you can get the funding," Kallas said The EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas hinted that the Commission would enforce safeguards" when assessing countries' plans to spend their SAFE defence plans in a way similar to the "723 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), potentially putting Hungary's allocation at risk. The Commission last week received plans from the 19 capitals who opted in to the "150 SAFE defence loans, laying out how they intend to spend the money.'It will review the plans in December before submitting them to the Council for adoption by March. Hungary in September received the third biggest loan allocation " together with France " making up about "16.2 billion. That money, once disbursed, is difficult for the EU to control, with defence spending still very much a national competence. Asked how the Commission would…...

just now (510+ words) Ever notice how neural networks look suspiciously like brains? That's no coincidence. AI didn't just invent intelligence " it borrowed it from biology. Let's pop the hood on both brains " the human one and the artificial one " and see what data scientists can actually learn from the OG neural network: the human mind. The human brain is basically the world's most advanced pattern recognition engine. Every thought, decision, and memory is just electrical signals bouncing between billions of neurons. Spot a familiar face in a crowd? That's your biological CNN at work. Neurons act like microprocessors, synapses like data highways, and dopamine? That's your reinforcement signal " your personal "reward function." " Smart takeaway: The brain doesn't process all data equally " it filters, prioritizes, and adapts. That's the same principle behind attention mechanisms and data preprocessing in machine learning. AI's roots are pure…...

just now (451+ words) Deciding on the right type of security for your business goes beyond just hiring personnel. Armed security guards are trained to respond to high-risk situations and provide a strong deterrent against serious threats, making them suitable for banks, government buildings, or facilities with valuable assets. On the other hand, unarmed security guards offer a visible presence, manage conflicts, and are often ideal for retail stores, offices, and other low- to medium-risk environments " all at a lower cost and with reduced liability. Modern security strategies increasingly combine personnel with technology. Tools like Vigilfy allow businesses to schedule shifts, track incidents, and monitor guard performance in real time, helping to ensure that both safety and efficiency are maintained. When making decisions about security, it's important to assess your risks, prioritize high-risk areas, and consider hybrid solutions that balance armed and unarmed personnel…...

just now (1765+ words) Megan Harrigan hurried around the Union Street Brick Church in Bangor in September, gathering clients and bringing them to the back corner of the church where there was a makeshift clinic of folding tables and metal chairs. Each client was homeless, and most had an opioid addiction. Harrigan knew them all by name. Between helping patients get referrals for opioid treatment medication, providing care for wounds that can come with opioid use, checking on clients she hadn't seen in a while, and joking with other staff of the street medicine team, Harrigan talked with a Maine Monitor reporter about a shift she has witnessed in recent years: more older adults are doing harder drugs. Harrigan, a mental health and rehabilitation technician, first started helping people with addiction more than 20 years ago. At that time, her older patients primarily struggled with…...

just now (345+ words) With the showcasing of advanced nuclear and strategic systems, the constant display of aircraft and warships used to intimidate Taiwan, and what U.S. officials have described as a "lifeline" for Russia's war machine, China is often deemed a country with rapid weapons growth. "A host of corruption allegations in Chinese arms procurement led to major arms contracts being postponed or cancelled in 2024," said Nan Tian, director of SIPRI's Military Expenditure and Arms Production Programme. Amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, as well as other global and regional tensions, revenues for the world's 100 largest arms and military-service companies increased by 5.9 percent in 2024, reaching a record $679 billion'the highest level since 2018.

Hailing not from the predominately Hispanic Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, Deftones is embraced by fans across California and beyond for its Latin connections. The father of frontman Chino Moreno and the mother of lead guitarist Steph Carpenter are both Mexican (Chino's mother also has Mexican ancestry, as well as being part Native American, part Irish, and part Chinese).

just now (588+ words) That single idea reveals everything that is wrong with the so-called Trump "peace plan." It treats war as a business transaction. It reduces Ukraine " a nation fighting for survival " to a bargaining chip. And it replaces accountability with accommodation. In this vision, the war would not end by restoring Ukraine's sovereignty, removing occupation forces, or addressing human rights violations. Instead, it would end by rewarding Russia economically " granting access to Western investment in energy, technology, and reconstruction " while pressuring Ukraine to surrender territory and accept constraints on its defense capabilities. The logic is chilling in its clarity: Putin invades, destroys, annexes " and in return, he gets business. Ukraine resists " and is asked to compromise. Diplomats often speak of "pragmatism," but history remembers appeasement. In 1938, territories were traded for "peace in our time," which lasted less than a year. In 2025, similar…...
