Six months into Israelβs war with Hamas, President Joe Biden is becoming ever more entangled in a foreign crisis that he cannot control but which is having deep consequences for US domestic politics and is weighing heavily on his reelection bid. The omnipresent geopolitical risks of the war were thrown into high relief over the weekend with US officials warning of a potential retaliatory attack in the region by Iran after an Israeli strike on Iranβs embassy complex in Damascus, alongside pledges from Israel to escalate on the northern border with Lebanon β even as it continues its operations in Gaza to rout Hamas, the Tehran-backed group that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took more than 200 hostage in its unprecedented October attacks. Talks are set to begin again in Cairo this week in the shadow of growing international upset over human consequences of the war, in which more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed. US forces in the region and Israel were on high alert for possible attacks by Iran in reprisal for the killing of two senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers in Damascus last week in a strike the US attributes to Israel. Any action by the Islamic Republic, against Israel or US interests could spark the full-scale Middle East war the White House dreads. Even if Iran doesnβt hit back, lower-grade clashes are already simmering across the region. The US has struck Iranian clients in Yemen, the Red Sea, Syria and Iraq, while Israelβs northern border, where it regularly trades missile fire with Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, is become increasingly dangerous. Israel is facing what its former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told CNN on Sunday is an Iranian βoctopus of terror.β In another example of a drama any president would prefer to avoid in a reelection year,Topic Source https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/07/politics/israel-hamas-wider-war-middle-east-biden/index.html

Parrots (Psittaciformes), also known as psittacines (/ΛsΙͺtΙsaΙͺnz/),[1][2] are birds with a strong curved beak, upright stance, and clawed feet.[a] They are conformed by four families that contain roughly 410 species in 101 genera, found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. The four families are the Psittaculidae (Old World parrots), Psittacidae (African and New World parrots), Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and Strigopidae (New Zealand parrots). One-third of all parrot species are threatened by extinction, with a higher aggregate extinction risk (IUCN Red List Index) than any other comparable bird group.[3] Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America[4] and Australasia.[5] Parrotsβalong with ravens, crows, jays, and magpiesβare among the most intelligent birds, and the ability of some species to imitate human speech enhances their po[CENSORED]rity as pets. They form the most variably sized bird order in terms of length; many are vividly coloured and some, multi-coloured. Most parrots exhibit little or no sexual dimorphism in the visual spectrum. The most important components of most parrots' diets are seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and other plant material. A few species sometimes eat animals and carrion, while the lories and lorikeets are specialised for feeding on floral nectar and soft fruits. Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young. Trapping wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as hunting, habitat loss, and competition from invasive species, has diminished wild po[CENSORED]tions, with parrots being subjected to more exploitation than any other group of wild birds. As of 2021, about 50 million parrots (half of all parrots) live in captivity, with the vast majority of these living as pets in people's homes.[6] Measures taken to conserve the habitats of some high-profile charismatic species have also protected many of the less charismatic species living in the same ecosystems. Parrots are the only creatures that display true tripedalism, using their necks and beaks as limbs with propulsive forces equal to or greater than those forces generated by the forelimbs of primates when climbing vertical surfaces. They can travel with cyclical tripedal gaits when climbing.[7] Taxonomy Origins and evolution Fossil dentary specimen UCMP 143274 restored as a parrot (left) or an oviraptorosaur Psittaciform diversity in South America and Australasia suggests that the order may have evolved in Gondwana, centred in Australasia.[8] The scarcity of parrots in the fossil record, however, presents difficulties in confirming the hypothesis. There is currently a higher number of fossil remains from the northern hemisphere in the early Cenozoic.[9] Molecular studies suggest that parrots evolved approximately 59 million years ago (Mya) (range 66β51 Mya) in Gondwana. The Neotropical Parrots are monophyletic, and the three major clades originated about 50 Mya (range 57β41 Mya).[10] A single 15 mm (0.6 in) fragment from a large lower bill (UCMP 143274), found in deposits from the Lance Creek Formation in Niobrara County, Wyoming, had been thought to be the oldest parrot fossil and is presumed to have originated from the Late Cretaceous period, which makes it about 70 million years old.[11] However, other studies suggest that this fossil is not from a bird, but from a caenagnathid oviraptorosaur (a non-avian dinosaur with a birdlike beak), as several details of the fossil used to support its identity as a parrot are not actually exclusive to parrots, and it is dissimilar to the earliest-known unequivocal parrot fossils.[12][13] It is generally assumed that the Psittaciformes were present during the CretaceousβPaleogene extinction event (K-Pg extinction), 66 mya. They were probably generalised arboreal birds, and did not have the specialised crushing bills of modern species.[9][14] Genomic analysis provides strong evidence that parrots are the sister group of passerines, forming the clade Psittacopasserae, which is the sister group of the falcons.[15] The first uncontroversial parrot fossils date to tropical Eocene Europe around 50 mya. Initially, a neoavian named Mopsitta tanta, uncovered in Denmark's Early Eocene Fur Formation and dated to 54 mya, was assigned to the Psittaciformes. However, the rather nondescript bone is not unequivocally psittaciform, and it may rather belong to the ibis genus Rhynchaeites, whose fossil legs were found in the same deposits.[16] The earliest records of modern parrots date to around 23β20 mya.[20] The fossil recordβmainly from Europeβconsists of bones clearly recognisable as belonging to anatomically modern parrots.[21] The Southern Hemisphere contains no known parrot-like remains earlier than the Early Miocene around 20 mya.[20] Etymology The name 'Psittaciformes' comes from the ancient Greek for parrot, ΟΞΉΟΟΞ±ΞΊΟΟ ('Psittacus'), whose origin is unclear. Ctesias (5th century BCE) recorded the name Psittacus after the Indian name for a bird, most likely a parakeet (now placed in the genus Psittacula). Pliny the Elder (23/24β79 CE) in his Natural History (book 10, chapter 58) noted that the Indians called the bird as "siptaces"; however, no matching Indian name has been traced.[22][23] Popinjay is an older term for parrots, first used in English in the 1500s.[24] Phylogeny Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that Psittaciformes form a monophyletic clade that is sister to the Passeriformes:[25][26] The time calibrated phylogeny indicates that the Australaves diverged around 65 Ma (million years ago) and the Psittaciformes diverged from the Passeriformes around 62 Ma.[26] Australaves Cariamiformes β seriemas Falconiformes β falcons Passeriformes β songbirds Psittaciformes β parrots Most taxonomists now divide Psittaciformes into four families: Strigopidae (New Zealand parrots), Cacatuidae (Cockatoos), Psittacidae (African and New World parrots) and Psittaculidae (Old World parrots).[27] In 2012 Leo Joseph and collaborators proposed that the parrots should be divided into six families. The New Zealand parrots in the genus Nestor were placed in a separate family Nestoridae and the two basal genera in the family Psittaculidae (Psittrichas and Coracopsis) were placed in a separate family Psittrichasidae.[28] The two additional families have not been recognised by taxonomists involved in curating lists of world birds and instead only four families are recognised.[27][29][30][31] The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic relationships between the four families. The species numbers are taken from the list maintained by Frank Gill, Pamela Rasmussen and David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), now the International Ornithologists' Union.[27][32] Psittaciformes Strigopidae β New Zealand parrots (4 species) Cacatuidae β Cockatoos (22 species) Psittacidae β African and New World parrots (179 species) Psittaculidae β Old World parrots (203 species) The Psittaciformes comprise three main lineages: Strigopoidea, Psittacoidea and Cacatuoidea.[28] The Strigopoidea were considered part of the Psittacoidea, but the former is now placed at the base of the parrot tree next to the remaining members of the Psittacoidea, as well as all members of the Cacatuoidea.[8][33][34] The Cacatuoidea are quite distinct, having a movable head crest, a different arrangement of the carotid arteries, a gall bladder, differences in the skull bones, and lack the Dyck texture feathers thatβin the Psittacidaeβscatter light to produce the vibrant colours of so many parrots. Colourful feathers with high levels of psittacofulvin resist the feather-degrading bacterium Bacillus licheniformis better than white ones.[35] Lorikeets were previously regarded as a third family, Loriidae,[36]: 45 but are now considered a tribe (Loriini) within the subfamily Loriinae, family Psittaculidae. The two other tribes in the subfamily are the closely related fig parrots (two genera in the tribe Cyclopsittini) and budgerigar (tribe Melopsittacini).[ Topic Source :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot

The appeal of a Toyota truck has always been great off-road capability mixed with the sense itβll outlast us all. Who doesnβt want that? In recent years, it seems everyone bought in. The Lexus GX, previously a niche luxury version of the small Land Cruiser, the Prado, has risen in profile to match the bigger Land Cruisers, 4Runners, Tacomas, and other rugged Toyotas. Toyota of late has become remarkably good at delivering exactly what enthusiasts want, and when Lexus dropped a brawny-looking off-roader with Land Cruiser bones and optional 33s, everyone kind of lost their minds. So we had to take it off-roading. Top Videos: Quick Specs 2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail Engine Twin-Turbo 3.4-Liter V-6 Output 349 Horsepower / 479 Pound-Feet Drive Type Four-Wheel Drive w/Low-Range Base Price $69,250 As-Tested Price $71,620 Northeast Off-Road Adventures (NORA) in the quaint Catskills town of Ellenville, New York was the ideal venue. Just a two hours from Motor1βs New York City office, NORA considers itself a "training center" rather than a public network of trailsβthe 75-acre wooded property features tons of challenging terrain to pit against the Lexus. This is the Overtrail version of the GX550, the most focused off-road trim available. (An Overtrail+ with extra luxuries is also available). Like all GX models, the Overtrail gets full-time four-wheel drive with a low-range gearbox and a locking center differential, but also adds a rear locker to the party. It gets Toyotaβs clever Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system, too, which optimizes traction for all sorts of different surfaces. Thereβs also Crawl Control, a sort of off-road cruise control, and E-KDSS, which can effectively disconnect the sway bars for greater suspension articulation. An array of cameras for surveying the trail surface are also standard. Plus, 33-inch Toyo mud-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, and skid plates. With approach, breakover, and departure angles of 26, 24, and 22 degrees, respectively, this is not the most-capable off roader youβll see on paper. A Land Rover Defender on its air suspension has better angles. But the GX ably conquered everything asked of it, and we asked a lot. Alex Trager, our equally capable trail guide, took us on terrain he described as higher-level intermediate to low-level advanced, and the GX never missed a beat. We never even aired the tires down, just to see how the thing dealt with low-grip scenarios. Pros: Excellent Off Road, Excellent On Road, Promise Of Toyota-Truck Dependability Engage the MTS system and traction is hardly an issue. You need to give the computers a bit of time to figure out what theyβre dealing with, but after a second or two, they get it and start pulling various levers to get the truck moving. You can feel the system grabbing brakes, modulating engine torque, performing tricks to ease you forward. On a few occasions, we had to do things the old-fashioned way. A little bit of left-foot braking helps prevent the truck from rocking back and forth when wheels are off the ground, and driver error on my part meant having to break out traction boards after getting high sided on a rock. But a lot of the time , I just had MTS and Crawl Control engaged. All I had to do was steer. In the woods, youβre certainly conscious of the GXβs 197.0-inch lengthβK-turns were a bit more complicated in this than NORAβs two-door Wrangler, on hand as backupβbut the Lexusβs 83.2-inch width is more manageable. Do remember, however, that the pronounced edges of the hood arenβt actually the corners of the truck; the fenders stick out a few inches more. Gone is the GXβs lovely old V-8 and in its stead sits a new 3.4-liter twin-turbo V-6. I thought Iβd miss the V-8, but the V-6 has more horsepower (349 vs 301) and way more torque (479 vs 329 pound-feet). The new mill also works well with the GXβs 10-speed automatic. The powertrain is calibrated well for off-road driving, allowing the driver to be super precise with how much torque theyβre sending to the wheels. Throughout our day off-road, I fell deeper in love with the GX. Itβs probably too big to be called a mountain goat, but I couldnβt help but draw the comparisons as the truck scrambled up whatever terrain we threw at it. Rocks, steep hills, 30-degree grades, and of course, mud. Itβs also the right mix of new- and old-school. MTS, E-KDSS, and Crawl Control do a lot of clever work to make off-roading approachable even for a relative novice like myself, but at the end of the day, the systems simply compliment the basic strength of this ladder-chassis, big-tired SUV. Really, the limit was me. NORAβs βrock riverβ got my heart pumping quite a bit, trying to find the best line, then committing to it. The GXβs camera system helps a lot, but I often had to tell myself not to drive through the screen and look out at the real world. Unlike myself, though, the GX was within its comfort zone. Cons: Ride Is Sometimes Unsettled, Poor Fuel Economy, Transmission Occasionally Slow I canβt help wondering if the GXβs biggest party trick is revealed on the pavement. For all its capability and toughness, itβs so refined. At low speeds, smaller road-surface imperfections are felt through the cabin as to be expected with a body-on-frame vehicle, but in all other scenarios, the GX550 is very luxurious. In either Comfort or Normal mode, the adaptive dampers give a plush ride, and the big torque and smoothness of the V-6 make you forget all about the old Toyota V-8. Ten forward gears is probably too many, though, as you can be left hanging waiting for the transmission to select the right ratio during a downshift, yet fuel economy still isnβt great Good luck getting beyond 20 mpg. (A hybrid version is coming). The GX is remarkably quiet for something of this shape and size, and even the tread noise from the mud-terrain tires is suppressed. Interior materials and build quality are excellent as youβd expect from a Lexus, and while I do think Toyotaβs new digital gauge cluster is overcomplicated, the infotainment system is anything but. Best is the low beltline, which provides great visibility, and a perfect spot to rest your arm with the windows down. A rare thing in modern cars. Even the steering is nice, well-weighted, and precise, with the right amount of self-centering. At the end of our off-roading fun, I hustled the GX up a mountain road to catch the sunset and it handled remarkably well. The unibody Land Rover Defender might be a bit nicer as a road car, but thereβs less in it than youβd think. Then thereβs the Toyota-ness of it all. This platform and drivetrain are relatively new, but we also know that Toyota builds its trucks to an extraordinarily high standard. Maybe the most compelling argument against the GX is the new, upcoming Land Cruiser. It starts at $57,345 to the GXβs $64,250 and offers a hybrid drivetrain. But, the mid-grade Land Cruiser costs $63,345 and isnβt too dissimilar to the base GX in terms of equipment. And as of right now, Toyota has no equivalent to Lexusβs Overtrail trim. This tester cost a little under $72,000, and while thatβs a lot of money, itβs around the same as equivalent Defenders and higher trims of Jeep Grand Cherokee. I think the choice here is obvious. The GX550 Overtrail isnβt just good, itβs one of the most complete cars on sale today. Itβs exactly what we wanted.

Forty minutes into an Old Firm derby that made you feel like you were riding a rollercoaster rather than sitting still watching a classic of its kind, Fabio Silva went down under a challenge from Alistair Johnston. The Portuguese reacted like he had just had 100 volts shot through his body. He twisted and turned on the deck, he flipped over, he beat the ground. Johnston was correctly yellow-carded, but Silva's histrionics were a desperate over-reaction on a day, to that point, of utter under-performance. Rangers were trailing 2-0 at the time - and they were lucky. In all departments in that opening half, they had been routed. Celtic were sharp, hard-working and way too good. Daizen Maeda was giving James Tavernier an afternoon of his nightmares. As the teams left the park at the break, the Rangers players were booed by their own people. At Ibrox, the vibe was not good. You would have bet the house on Celtic winning and therefore taking a four-point lead at the summit. Nothing would have been decided, but in psychological terms this would have been an awful jolt to the Rangers machine, a reminder that Brendan Rodgers is still the kingpin in this fixture no matter who Rangers put up against him. As all those thoughts were forming, Philippe Clement was down in the dressing room talking to his players and telling them that they were not the team he had been seeing for the past five months. Perhaps he had regrets about going with some of the personnel he went with - his wide attacking players were non-existent - and you could imagine him being a little shocked at the passive nature of his midfield in the face of a Celtic team who came to play, but also to battle. His words must have been compelling because what we saw in the second half must place this game among the most memorable between these teams for a terribly long time. In a half where everything changed, then changed again, then changed again, nothing has really changed, not at the top. That is the irony. Celtic still lead and say their destiny is in their own hands, which it is. Rangers have a game in hand and say their destiny is also in their own hands, which is also true. After a game that put the heart sideways at times, and made you dizzy with the frantic nature of the goals and the controversies, it seems bizarre to say that nothing has changed, but it hasn't. Not really. 'The show moves on in Glasgow circus' This was arguably the biggest Old Firm game in a dozen years. Now the next one will be. The show moves on. And what a show. Rodgers said the game could have been done by half-time and he was right. The dominance of the away team, even with Callum McGregor starting on the bench, was almost absolute. It was 2-0 going on 3-0. Given the momentum Rangers had going into it, the one-sided nature was bamboozling. It was like the old days in Rodgers's first incarnation, when Celtic turned up with the only question being how many they would win by. Ten minutes into the new half, Silva dived in an attempt to win a penalty and up in the Ibrox gantry that great Rangers soldier of the past, Stuart McCall, shook his head in despair. A minute later, Silva went over again. And that is Booked for simulation. But hang on, here comes VAR. Cancel the yellow and let's have a penalty instead. Rodgers said later that he firmly believes Silva dived. Every Rangers fan will say that there was contact. That is the Glasgow football shuffle right there. James Tavernier banged away the penalty with aplomb for his 49th goal of the season, or maybe it just feels that way. Where stood the title race now? Still Celtic's advantage. And still Celtic's lead after Cyriel Dessers' goal being ruled out for a foul in the build-up. Ibrox heaved. Celtic faltered and on came McGregor, the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option who has not played since the end of February. Rodgers needed him to calm things down, to restore the composure of the first half that had been lost in the face of Rangers pressing high, chasing hard and finally believing in themselves. Much of the pre-match narrative circled around McGregor's fitness, but he wasn't the only one deemed not fit enough to start. Abdallah Sima was another. With eight minutes of normal time left, he found the Celtic net courtesy of a rare mistake by McGregor and a fortunate deflection. All level at 2-2. We readied ourselves to acclaim Clement for the steel he has instilled in this team, for the comeback that few saw coming, for getting a draw that ensured a win over Dundee on Wednesday would get Rangers' noses in front of Celtic again.when the trumpet blasted and the drama started. Mentally, how would Celtic cope with losing a 2-0 lead? In the context of the title, was this draw a better draw for Rangers than it was for Celtic? You had to say yes, it was. Then those thoughts went into the bin as Adam Idah scored to make it 3-2, a lovely finish planted in the corner of Jack Butland's goal. For weeks and months leading up to the January transfer window, Rodgers had called out for quality recruits, an experienced cavalry to join the charge for the title. Idah was welcomed into Celtic's bosom but it is fair to say the fans were expecting more. When the Irishman banged in that goal with a couple of minutes of normal time remaining, they would not have swapped him for anybody. Celtic's rapid-fire response looked decisive. Again, the record books were being thumbed. Rodgers' grip on this game was already vice-like and this was another story to tell. Celtic four points ahead again with Rangers to come to their place post-split. Ominous. There was one last twist, one more plot shift. A week ago, Rabbi Matondo cut in from the left and rifled a shot high into the right-hand corner of Hibs' goal. Here, he cut in again and scored again. Just as spectacular, just as jaw-dropping. Even more so, in fact. Ibrox shook to its foundations. Clement said later that Rangers were more the winners on the day and, having trailed 2-0 and 3-2, you could not argue with him. Rodgers, for his part, did not look all that perturbed. He knows that this was just the preamble with the biggest stuff yet to come. Toe-to-toe they go into the business end.

If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to boost your grade. Even though going over things you already learned might seem boring, youβll feel a lot more comfortable with the material the more you review it. Weβll start by going over some tips on forming the best study habits and move on to techniques to learn and memorize information so you do your best in class! Keep your study sessions shorter so you donβt get worn out. Set aside an hour for each of your subjects so you have time to review them thoroughly. During each block, only focus on 1 subject at a time so you donβt get information mixed up between classes. If you have larger assignments, like papers or projects, break them up into smaller steps that you can do within the hour. Step away for a few minutes every hour so you donβt feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5β10 minutes every hour where you just relax. Check your phone, browse through social media, take a walk, or go get a snack to give yourself some space from your schoolwork. Avoid working through the breaks youβve scheduled, or else you wonβt feel as alert as you normally would. Step away for a few minutes every hour so you donβt feel overworked.

Taking breaks also keeps you motivated to learn as much as you can in the time you have.[1] Try to set aside a regular time to go over notes for class. Find a time when you feel the most energetic and motivated to study so youβre able to focus a little better. If you can, try to plan the same time every day so you can get into a regular routine. Block out at least 1β2 hours of your day in a planner or on a calendar so you donβt forget to do it during the day. For example, in your schedule you could write, βRead Chapter 2 for Chemistry and complete study guide,β or βReview Geometry problems in Chapter 4 for text on Friday.β Stay organized and on top of all your coursework by writing it in a planner or setting reminders on your phone. Make sure you leave room in your schedule to hang out with friends and relax so you donβt feel overwhelmed by your schoolwork. Some people prefer digital planners while others prefer scheduling on paperβchoose whichever option best motivates you. Reader Poll: We asked 354 wikiHow readers and 61% agreed that their preferred way to organize study time is by making paper revision timetables. [Take Poll] Find a place where you wonβt have trouble concentrating on the material. Avoid studying in a room with other loud people or distractions since itβll be tough to focus and remember the material. Instead, go into your room and shut the door, or find a quiet spot at the school library where you can sit. If you live with other people, ask them to be quiet and courteous when you plan your study time. Everyone has a different ideal study environment.

The Israeli military said it has withdrawn its ground forces from Khan Younis in southern Gaza after months of fierce fighting. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Sunday that its 98th division had βconcluded its missionβ in Khan Younis. The division was leaving the Gaza Strip to βrecuperate and prepare for future operations.β The IDF added that βa significant force led by the 162nd division and the Nahal brigade continues to operate in the Gaza strip, and will preserve the IDFβs freedom of action and its ability to conduct precise intelligence based operations.β A CNN team along the border where troops enter and leave Gaza has not yet seen large numbers of troops withdraw, but it has seen a large number of tanks pull out of Khan Younis overnight. They are now stationed on the border of Gaza and Israel. An Israeli brigade typically has roughly a few thousand troops, but it remains unclear precisely how many Israeli troops have withdrawn from Gaza. Um Ihab stands by the beach along the coast of central Gaza. RELATED ARTICLE An elderly Palestinian woman fled her home in northern Gaza. Now she is fighting to keep her grandchildren alive As of January, the 98th division was the militaryβs biggest-ever division, as it was specifically bolstered to fight Hamas in Khan Younis. IDF Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said at a news conference Sunday the military is βfar from stoppingβ its operations in the Gaza Strip following the withdrawal. βWe will not leave any Hamas brigades active β in any part of the Gaza Strip. We have plans and will act when we decide,β he said, adding that the militaryβs goals in Gaza have not been fully achieved, including the return of all hostages, the return of displaced residents to the north and the dismantling of Hamas throughout Gaza. In response to a question about the effect of the militaryβs withdrawal of ground forces from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Halevi said, βthe military wing of Hamas is deterred, the vast majority of its battalions are dismantled and lost their capabilities. That military framework, which had many capabilities, is currently running as small terrorist cells.β Halevi reiterated that the IDF has not left the Gaza Strip and that there are βmany troops at this very hourβ in the strip. βThis is a long war; we canβt maintain the same (extent of) troop deployment,β he said, adding, βmany achievements are yet to come on our way to the victory.β Itβs unclear what the withdrawal means for Israelβs plans to invade Rafah, the southernmost part of Gaza that has become a shelter for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Israel has said an incursion into Rafah is essential to achieve its goal of eliminating Hamas from Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Sunday that the troops were leaving Gaza to prepare for follow-up missions, including in the Rafah region. βThe troops exit and prepare ahead of their follow-up missions. We saw examples of such missions in action in Shifa. And also for their follow-up mission in the Rafah region,β Gallant said in remarks during his visit to the militaryβs Southern Command. βWe are reaching a situation where Hamas does not control the Gaza Strip and that it does not function as a military framework that poses a risk to the citizens of the State of Israel,β Gallant said, noting that he has completed a situational assessment of the IDF Southern Command as its forces are pulling out of Khan Younis. The defense minister added that Israeli forces in Khan Younis were successful in destroying βenemy targets, warehouses, weapons, underground [infrastructure], headquarters [and] communication rooms.β Israeli public broadcaster and CNN affiliate Channel 11 on Sunday reported that the remaining forces would be located along the so-called Netzarim Corridor a route that splits the Gaza Strip in two. Named after the former Israeli settlement of Netzarim in Gaza, the corridor intersects one of Gazaβs two main north-south roads, Salaheddin Street, to create a strategic, central junction. Before pulling out, the IDF on Sunday said that commando units had raided and searched more than a hundred locations in the Al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, where it found a long tunnel and βeliminated terrorists.β CNN cannot independently verify those claims. Speaking to ABCβs βThe Week,β White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said it was unlikely the move was sign of some incoming new operation but rather a βrest and refit.β βTheyβve been on the ground for four months. The word weβre getting is theyβre tired, they need to be refit.β The US is Israelβs major ally but has been pressuring the country to do more to protect civilians and allow in aid.

Software engineering, in general, is a dynamic and rapidly changing field that demands a thorough understanding of concepts related to programming, computer science, and mathematics. As software systems become more complicated in the future, software developers must stay updated on industry innovations and the latest trends. Working on software engineering research topics is an important part of staying relevant in the field of software engineering. Software engineers can do research to learn about new technologies, approaches, and strategies for developing and maintaining complex software systems. Software engineers can conduct research on a wide range of topics. Software engineering research is also vital for increasing the functionality, security, and dependability of software systems. Going for the Top Programming Certification course contributes to the advancement of the field's state of the art and assures that software engineers can continue to build high-quality, effective software systemsSoftware engineer research topics are areas of exploration and study in the rapidly evolving field of software engineering. These research topics include various software development approaches, quality of software, testing of software, maintenance of software, security measures for software, machine learning models in software engineering, DevOps, and architecture of software. Each of these software engineer research topics has distinct problems and opportunities for software engineers to investigate and make major contributions to the field. In short, research topics for software engineering provide possibilities for software engineers to investigate new technologies, approaches, and strategies for developing and managing complex software systems. For example, research on agile software development could identify the benefits and drawbacks of using agile methodology, as well as develop new techniques for effectively implementing agile practices. Software testing research may explore new testing procedures and tools, as well as assess the efficacy of existing ones. Software quality research may investigate the elements that influence software quality and develop approaches for enhancing software system quality and minimizing the faults and errors. Software metrics are quantitative measures that are used to assess the quality, maintainability, and performance of software. The research papers on software engineering topics in this specific area could identify novel measures for evaluating software systems or techniques for using metrics to improve the quality of software. The practice of integrating code changes into a common repository and pushing code changes to production in small, periodic batches is known as continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). This research could investigate the best practices for establishing CI/CD or developing tools and approaches for automating the entire CI/CD process. Top Software Engineer Research Topics 1. Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering Intersections between AI and SE The creation of AI-powered software engineering tools is one potential research area at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and software engineering. These technologies use AI techniques that include machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision to help software engineers with a variety of tasks throughout the software development lifecycle. An AI-powered code review tool, for example, may automatically discover potential flaws or security vulnerabilities in code, saving developers a lot of time and lowering the chance of human error. Similarly, an AI-powered testing tool might build test cases and analyze test results automatically to discover areas for improvement. Furthermore, AI-powered project management tools may aid in the planning and scheduling of projects, resource allocation, and risk management in the project. AI can also be utilized in software maintenance duties such as automatically discovering and correcting defects or providing code refactoring solutions. However, the development of such tools presents significant technical and ethical challenges, such as the necessity of large amounts of high-quality data, the risk of bias present in AI algorithms, and the possibility of AI replacing human jobs. Continuous study in this area is therefore required to ensure that AI-powered software engineering tools are successful, fair, and responsible. Knowledge-based Software Engineering Another study area that overlaps with AI and software engineering is knowledge-based software engineering (KBSE). KBSE entails creating software systems capable of reasoning about knowledge and applying that knowledge to enhance software development processes. The development of knowledge-based systems that can help software engineers in detecting and addressing complicated problems is one example of KBSE in action. To capture domain-specific knowledge, these systems use knowledge representation techniques such as ontologies, and reasoning algorithms such as logic programming or rule-based systems to derive new knowledge from already existing data. KBSE can be utilized in the context of AI and software engineering to create intelligent systems capable of learning from past experiences and applying that information to improvise future software development processes. A KBSE system, for example, may be used to generate code based on previous code samples or to recommend code snippets depending on the requirements of a project. Furthermore, KBSE systems could be used to improve the precision and efficiency of software testing and debugging by identifying and prioritizing bugs using knowledge-based techniques. As a result, continued research in this area is critical to ensuring that AI-powered software engeering Topic Source :https://nevonprojects.com/project-ideas/software-project-ideas/

Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone reintroduces the po[CENSORED]r Rebirth Island Resurgence map, and it arrives with its own Champion's Quest challenge. This nuke challenge is similar to Urzikstan's, but there are some unique changes you'll need to know. Here we'll guide you through the multi-step process needed to score a nuke on Rebirth Island. How to earn a nuke on Rebirth Island In order to nuke the island, you must first unlock the Champion's Quest contract. To earn this, you'll need to either achieve the feat of five match wins in a row or win 30 games total within a season. Once you've completed this prerequisite, your next match will feature the Champion's Quest contract. Champion's Quest contract Activate the quest Once you've completed the win prerequisite, your next match will spawn a Champion's Quest contract. This is revealed as a yellow icon on your map. Much like Urzikstan's quest, you'll need to locate the elements required to assemble the nuke. Collecting the elements Activating the quest tasks you with an objective to "Acquire Elements," and it triggers a 10-minute time limit to complete the whole quest. The difference in Rebirth Island's nuke challenge is that each of the three elements drops one by one with a 10-minute wait time. This sounds impossible because the quest only gives you 10 minutes to complete everything, but the time for each element is reduced by completing various actions on the map. These actions include interrogating enemies, getting kills, looting supply boxes, and buying items from Buy Stations. This nuke challenge is best attempted with a full squad. You'll want to start your match by completing a few regular contracts to collect enough cash to help you with the cooldown timers. Also, make sure to get your loadouts so you can fight off anyone trying to stop you. You and your teammates will have a constant UAV while the Champion's Quest contract is active, but you'll also all be marked for all your opponents in the match. Once an element drops, it's marked on the map as a yellow supply box with a radiation symbol. Grab this as soon as possible because the timer for the next element will not start until someone has picked up the element that already dropped. Repeat this process until you have all four elements. Once you have all three elements, a bomb site is revealed on your map. Go there, deposit the elements, and arm the bomb. This initiates a two-minute countdown until detonation. Any player can try to stop you from completing this, so defend the area for two minutes. Once the countdown ends, the match ends with a brief nuke cinematic and your rewards will pop up. Champion's Quest rewards Nuking the island also comes with unique rewards: Engine Light's On - Weapon camo Material Handler - Unique operator skin Champion Banner - Animated calling card Master Procrastinator - Weapon charm Alpha Particles - Weapon sticker Tips for reducing the element drop timers Loot everything. Don't just go for the supply boxes. Even the duffle bag loot containers count towards reducing the cooldown. Interrogate. If you knock an opponent, interrogate if possible to get those extra cooldown points. Stow portable Buy Stations. It's possible you might find yourself nowhere near a Buy Station when you need one. It can be helpful to call in a portable Buy Station in a place with more cover. Spend your money wisely. The most efficient thing to buy for the cooldown is armor plates. They are the cheapest item, so it will reduce your cooldown without eating into your funds. Firesales are important. Also make use of the Firesale event, which can often occur during the third circle. You can reduce a lot of your time just by having all your teammates spam purchase armor plates at the BuyStation.Season 3 of Warzone resurrects the Rebirth Island Resurgence map from Warzone 1, and the big update includes a brand-new Easter egg to complete. Here we'll guide you through all the complicated steps to complete this hidden quest and earn the new "Redacted" weapon blueprint. The map's Redacted weapon blueprint is locked in a case within the top level of the Industry building. The locked armory case also contains items, such as various armor vests and killstreaks. However, you'll need to complete a few steps before gaining access. First, land on the lower balcony of the Factory POI and head inside the door labeled B4. Near a set of stairs, you'll find a gated room that can't be opened, but it contains a crate that you can shoot. This will reveal an ID Card item you need to grab. Take the ID card to the small two-story building at Harbor. The second story door is locked and requires the ID to open. Head inside and interact with the computer to turn on the power. This building also has a UAV streak. While not necessary, grab the UAV and activate it as you head to the next step. This will help you avoid any enemies on the way.Next, head to the Chemical Engineering POI. Go to the top floor and head to a back corner room to find a computer terminal. To the left of the PC is a red number on display with a white symbol above it. You need to write this down, snap a picture on your phone, or memorize it.Go down one floor and you'll find another red number and a white symbol. Make note of this information as well. Then, in the separate northern section of the Chemical Engineering POI, you'll find one last number and corresponding symbol to remember. With all of this information, head into a room on the bottom floor of Chemical Engineering that has three orange tanks and a red button on the wall. The red button says "Reset Water Pressure," and you'll want to hit it first. The orange tanks also have the three white symbols you noted earlier. You're basically trying to use the terminals to get the tank numbers to match the symbol that each one corresponds with.Then, you'll want to use the three PC terminals in the room to adjust the pressure in the three orange tanks. This part is annoyingly complex because each terminal does something different, and it is random each match. One will adjust the number on all three tanks, one only adjusts two numbers, and the third adjusts only one. This is trial and error, so try them all until you determine which does each action. Then, match the numbers you collected earlier with the corresponding symbol. Durable gas masks drop when you've correctly input all the numbers. Head out of the building and through the tunnel that leads under the map. Use this to get to the Industry building. Head upstairs to the locked armory case. There's a keypad on the right side of the case that requires an eight-digit code. PC file percentagesTurn around and view the PC screen opposite the armory case. This screen has a chart of file sizes with percentages. You need to input all the numbers from the percentages going from largest number to smallest numbers to get the code. (This doesn't include the files labeled as 0%.) Example: If your percentages are shown as 22%, 39%, 2%, 28%, 6%, you would enter it ordered as: 39, 28, 22, 6, 2 on the keypad.With all of these steps done, the three lights on the armory case should be green, and you can open it to get all the loot inside, including the Redacted weapon blueprint for the DG-56 assault rifle. Only the player who grabs the blueprint from the armory case will unlock the blueprint, so make sure to grab it fast if you're the one doing all the work. The steps will need to be repeated in a new match for any other teammates who want the Topic source :https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cod-warzone-how-to-do-rebirth-islands-champions-quest-nuke-challenge/1100-6522448/

As part of the companyβs overhaul, Yu Miyake, the producer of Dragon Quest, has stepped down from his role due to delays in the development of the next game, Dragon Quest 12. He will now shift his focus to developing mobile games, which the company looks to boost sales.Miyake, since he joined the company in 1992, has been instrumental in the development of numerous Dragon Quest titles. The Dragon Quest franchise is a classic RPG that is loved by fans worldwide and has also arrived on mobile devices with titles such as Dragon Quest Tact, Dragon Quest Dai: A Heroβs Bonds, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, and Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light to name a few. Now, coming to the details of the restructuring. As reported by Bloomberg, this change is part of a larger reorganization led by Square Enixβs new President, Takashi Kiryu, who wants to boost sales of both big-budget console games and mobile games. The company hopes to achieve less dependence on outside help and focus more on bringing up in-house AAA games. On the other hand, Yosuke Saito, known for the NieR games, is discussed as being the front-runner to take over the Dragon Quest production. Such an internal push to boost sales is aimed at building a positive trend that might also favor the company and its investors in the long term. I see this move as having the potential to impact the companyβs long-term trajectory significantly.
