Marin history: A garden blooms at San Quentin
( MENAFN - GetNews) The first battle in our country's morality war must start with us. That can be hard because if you are like me, you have screwed up royally in the past. Drew Alan Hall describes his father as his best friend, though they sometimes disagree on specific subjects. One such subject is politics. While neither Hall nor his father considers themselves far right or far left, they occupy different sides of the aisle regarding presidential candidates. Recent elections have sparked heated conversations between them, often centered not on tax strategy or foreign policy but on morality - specifically, the morality of individuals and their politics. Election years tend to bring moral issues to the forefront of public discourse, addressing topics ranging from gender identification to abortion and beyond. These issues emerge in debates between candidates and conversations among individuals, often spilling over into social media. During one such discussion with his father, Hall observed that many people look to political figures and parties as society's moral compass. The distinction between the morality of policies and the morality of candidates often becomes blurred. Hall believes followers of Jesus should take time to pray and reflect on how they approach their beliefs about morality and political choices before casting their votes. The desire for leaders to embody strength and integrity is not unique to America. The Bible illustrates this struggle when God's people asked for a king. Saul, who looked the part, was flawed internally, while David, a man after God's heart, made significant moral missteps. These two leaders, despite their outward differences, both faced moments of moral failure. Hall notes that while society often demands its leaders exemplify morality and integrity, individuals may not hold themselves to the same standards. The first step in addressing the nation's morality issues must begin with individuals. Acknowledging personal mistakes can be challenging, and past failures may lead some to feel unworthy of being used by God. Hall suggests that such thinking can cause people to expect their leaders to achieve what they themselves cannot. Conversations about morality and leaders' actions often overlook personal accountability. To see a shift in national morality aligned with God, Hall emphasizes that individuals must first address their own lives. This personal transformation does not necessarily require running for office but does demand active participation in the mission of making disciples and sharing the good news of Jesus. Hall draws parallels to the life of Peter, who, after denying Jesus, initially returned to his old life as a fisherman. However, an encounter with the risen Messiah helped Peter move past his guilt and step into God's work, ultimately playing a pivotal role in the establishment of the church. Hall highlights that while Peter did not pursue political office, his personal transformation led to world-changing impact. As the election approaches, Hall encourages individuals to seek a transformative conversation with Jesus. Such a conversation can lead to the realization of God's plan for their lives, replacing guilt and shame with grace and forgiveness. Hall believes this shift - aligning actions with beliefs - can gradually influence the nation's morality. For Christians navigating the election season, Hall offers three steps. First, engage in an honest conversation with Jesus to assess whether personal actions align with beliefs. Second, pray for guidance to discern the candidate to support and determine how to do so in a way that honors Christ. Third, remember that a follower of Jesus finds identity in His life, death, and resurrection - not in any political candidate or party. Regardless of who wins the presidency, Jesus remains King. About "How To Keep it Real" by Drew Alan Hall Has regret over past denial of God kept you from the purpose he has for your life? The good news is God does not want you to stay sidelined by past mistakes. By comparing the story of Peter's denial to my own, this book shows how one tough conversation with Jesus could be the thing that moves you forward to radically living for him.

Trump warns BRICS nations against replacing US dollarA hydrogen-powered bus exploded at a charging station in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, Monday. Courtesy of the Chungju city government Operations of all Chungju hydrogen buses halted after first such incident in Korea The explosion of a hydrogen bus in Chungju, a city located in the center of Korea, has raised safety concerns about the fuel type, which is often viewed as a safe and sustainable energy source for the future of transportation. An official at the city's charging station and two other individuals were injured in an explosion on Monday, as the vehicle was starting its engine after charging, causing the rear of the vehicle to be blown off. Investigators from relevant organizations, including the Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS), began to look into the case immediately, prompting the city's authorities to suspend operations of all 18 hydrogen-powered buses. According to the KGS and industry experts, this is the first such incident in Korea since the introduction of commercial hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) more than 10 years ago. “Data shows that was the first explosion involving an HFCV. Hydrogen is a safe energy source, but there is no 100 percent,” a KGS official told The Korea Times, Tuesday. “The incident will be carefully and thoroughly investigated to find out what exactly caused it.” In an HFCV, hydrogen is stored in a high-pressure tank and mixed with oxygen from the air in a fuel cell to generate electricity, which powers the vehicle's electric motor. Based on the location where the explosion occurred, experts said the tank, which is installed in the upper or lower part of a hydrogen bus, was probably not the problem. “The part is where the fuel cell stack is located. But for now, it is too early to state anything conclusively, given that too little is known about the case,” one said. The bus, manufactured by Hyundai Motor, began operations in August 2022. Officials stated that the driver was en route to an auto repair shop that day after the "F" (fault) icon had appeared on the dashboard on Dec. 21. “We will faithfully cooperate with the investigation to find the exact cause of the accident,” the company said in a statement sent to The Korea Times. This incident underscores the challenges and safety considerations that come with adopting new energy technologies in transportation, as seen with the adoption of electric cars whose lithium-ion batteries raised safety worries after in recent months. As of October, 36,989 HFCVs were registered for operation in Korea, up from 29,623 in 2022 and 893 in 2018, according to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The government aims to increase the number of HFCVs operating on the nation’s roads to 300,000 by 2030 as part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Industry experts also expressed concerns over the possible ramifications of the incident at a time when Hyundai, one of the market leaders, is expanding its hydrogen business overseas. This all adds to the concerns regarding U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s return to power. During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly about HFCVs’ safety. According to by the Wall Street Journal, there are 18,300 passenger hydrogen vehicles on U.S. roads, with no reports of explosions or fatalities from these vehicles in the past 10 years.

Data science is revolutionizing the automotive industry by providing data to all automobile manufacturers and service providers through effective optimization, safety improvements, and smarter, better-functioning vehicles. These help automakers bring innovation to the next level by feeding vast amounts of data into their cars and taking vehicle technology and driving experiences to another level. Here are some leading data science applications that will continue to change the automotive industry: Arguably the most transformative application of data science to the automotive industry is the manufacture of autonomous (self-driving) vehicles . The vehicles draw information from a plethora of sensors, cameras, radar and LiDAR systems to perceive their environment and autonomously decision-make for propulsion. Data science is central to processing and analyzing the huge amount of data in such cases, all in real-time so that the vehicles are safe and effective for travel. These systems are trained to detect road signs, pedestrians, other vehicles, and obstacles, predict future traffic patterns based on the data, and make decisions taken from that data with the help of machine learning algorithms, which are a subfield of data science. Autonomous vehicles become smarter and safer with time because the models can be continuously improved through continuous learning. Example: The progress from companies such as Tesla towards developing autonomous vehicles has been tremendous. For instance, when developing the self-driving algorithm improvement, Tesla's Autopilot requires massive amounts of data collected from all the vehicles driving on the road. At this point, all data collected can be processed in real-time to make decisions such as changing speed, lane adjustments, and avoiding obstacles, all of which improve reliability with every update. It is yet another paradigm of influence of data science-the predictive maintenance. Modern cars generate enormous data from sensors installed throughout different components of the vehicle, whether that be the engine or transmission brakes. Data science techniques like machine learning could analyze this data to predict early on when specific parts will fail or require maintenance. Beyond this, predictive maintenance helps reduce downtime, repair costs, and vehicle life. Instead of waiting, automakers and fleet operators would solve the problems beforehand, which would help improve vehicle reliability and safety. Data science has really made it possible for the connected vehicle to blossom. All modern vehicles boast a complex telematics system that captures real-time data concerning their performance, driving behavior, location, and environmental conditions. Data, when analysed, can optimize fuelling, personalize the driving experience, and enhance the safety features of the car. Through data science, car manufacturers can develop applications that keep a vehicle owner informed about current traffic conditions and parking suggestions. Data science is also important in optimizing the automotive supply chain . Automakers rely on complex supply chains that span the globe, and managing these operations efficiently is crucial for reducing costs and meeting consumer demand. By analyzing historical data, market trends, and production schedules, data science helps companies forecast demand, manage inventory, and streamline logistics. Machine learning can find latent patterns in the supply chain and recommend actions, such as reducing delays, minimizing waste, and improving the transportation of parts and finished vehicles. Data science has transformed the way automakers understand and relate to customers. By analyzing online reviews, social media , and customer feedback, companies can gain entirely new consumer facets. They can now personalize marketing strategies as well as tailor offers and product designs according to consumer needs. For instance, automobile manufacturers may use it to analyse data regarding the features most appealing to a specific demographic. This way, they can produce cars that satisfy other customer categories, leading to improved sales as well as customer satisfaction. Data science is transforming the automotive industry by driving innovations in autonomous vehicles, predictive maintenance, connected technology, supply chain optimization, and customer personalization. As more data is generated and analyzed, the potential for further advancements in automotive technology is boundless. The integration of data science not only enhances the efficiency of operations but also paves the way for safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles, ultimately reshaping the future of mobility.CAPE TOWN, Nov 25 — On a sunny afternoon in Cape Town’s seaside village of Simon’s Town, three young chacma baboons cause a commotion, clambering on roofs, jumping between buildings and swinging on the gutters. Enchanted tourists stop to photograph the troop crossing the road. Locals are less impressed: it’s a daily scene in the charming village nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain National Park. About 500 chacma baboons — among the largest monkey species and weighing up to 40 kg — roam the peninsula south of Cape Town, says the South African National Biodiversity Institute. And as human development pushes up the mountain into their natural habitat, the animals are increasingly entering plush properties to forage in gardens and take the pickings from the bins. Some manage to sneak into houses where they can wreak havoc. Many locals are fond of the creatures, giving them pet names and following their daily adventures on social media. But others are increasingly frustrated. “They’ve become so bold now. They’re more domesticated than they should be,” said Duncan Low, 60, who runs an ice cream shop. The intruders have even started raiding kitchens and grabbing food from plates in restaurants. “They’re on a sugar and fast-food rush,” Low said. In 2021, the city put down a notorious alpha-male monkey who had terrorised residents with more than 40 raids for food in rubbish bins, from lawns and porches, sometimes entering homes while people were inside. Monkey management Tension between humans and baboons is “the highest it’s ever been”, said ecologist Justin O’Riain, who directs the Institute for Communities and Wildlife in Africa at the University of Cape Town. A baboon on the edge of a wild and an urban area is “the most difficult animal in the world to manage”, O’Riain said. “They are strong, they can climb... and they can learn from each other: there’s no landscape that they can’t conquer.” As human settlement of the Cape has expanded, the baboons have been “pushed higher and higher up the mountain” where foraging conditions are harder, O’Riain added. The lush gardens that people have built, with fruit trees and swimming pools, are tempting attractions. The City of Cape Town, in partnership with park authorities, has for years run a programme to manage the marauding monkeys that relies on teams of baboon monitors. They employ a primarily non-lethal approach, O’Riain said. However, some techniques, such as firing paintball guns to keep troops away or culling a particularly problematic animal, have come under fire. Amid an increasingly emotional outcry, vociferous campaigner Baboon Matters announced court action against the city and parks authorities in May for failing to implement what it considers more acceptable control measures, such as baboon-proof fencing and bins. Facing criticism and funding limits, the authorities said the baboon management programme would be wound down by the end of the year as they investigate other “more sustainable urban solutions”. It will however remain in place through December — a particularly busy month for tourists — but with fewer rangers, it said. “We’re going to lose our first line of defence,” O’Riain said, with more baboons already entering urban areas often at risk to their lives. Deaths highest in 10 years Thirty-three baboons were known to have died between July 2023 and June 2024, the highest number in 10 years, city authorities say. Nearly half the deaths were caused by human factors, including shooting with pellet guns, collisions with vehicles and dog attacks. Coexistence with baboons should come with “a degree of human compliance”, starting with managing food waste, conservation activist Lynda Silk, head of the Cape Peninsula Civil Conservation group, said. “We don’t need to be in competition with our natural resources: there can be ways that we can manage our lifestyles to minimise the negative impacts,” she said. For O’Riain, the only viable solution to the baboon battle is to erect fencing in certain areas that is made up of electric wiring and underground mesh to prevent the animals from digging underneath. A prototype installed 11 years ago had shown great success, with almost no animals entering the area, he said. A 2023 report already suggested where the fencing should be placed. “Baboons can come and forage right up to the edge of the fence and no one will disturb them,” said O’Riain. “It’s a completely peaceful interaction, a win-win for people and for baboons.” — AFPState championship roundup

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with a sore throwing shoulder, dealing another blow to the 49ers' playoff hopes. Purdy injured his right shoulder in last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks . He underwent an MRI on Monday that showed no structural damage and the team initially thought he could play this week. But when Purdy's shoulder didn't feel right when he made a few warmup throws at practice Thursday, those plans changed. “We thought he just needed some rest and we really weren’t concerned about him not being good this week,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday. “But when he started up Thursday, it just surprised him, surprised us how it felt. So we had to shut him down.” Shanahan said the team doesn't believe the injury is a long-term concern but he is uncertain whether Purdy will need to miss any additional time. “The MRI doesn’t look like that, so it should be all right,” Shanahan said. “But the way it responded this week, it’s really up in the air for next week. We’ll have to see on Monday.” The 49ers also will be missing star defensive end Nick Bosa, who is out after leaving last week's game in the second half with injuries to his left hip and oblique. Left tackle Trent Williams is questionable with an ankle injury and will be a game-time decision. San Francisco struggled on defense without Bosa last week and now will go the entire game this week without two of the team's most important players. The Niners (5-5) are currently in a three-way tie for second in the NFC West, a game behind first-place Arizona, and have little margin for error if they want to get back to the playoffs after making it to the Super Bowl last season. “I know it’s disappointing,” Shanahan said. “We knew there was a chance for Nick. I think the guys were a little surprised with Brock yesterday, but we addressed all that today. We’re going to have 48 guys in uniform. I know our guys believe in themselves. I believe in them. We’re missing two good players, definitely. But we got a lot of good players out there. So by no means do we not have a chance to win.” This will be the first time Purdy has missed a start because of an injury since taking over as the 49ers’ quarterback in December 2022. Brandon Allen will start in his place. Purdy has completed 66% of his passes this season for 2,613 yards, 13 TDs, eight interceptions and a 95.9 passer rating that is down significantly from his league-leading mark of 113 in 2023. Allen has been mostly a backup since being drafted by Jacksonville in 2016. Allen last started a game in Week 18 of the 2021 season for Cincinnati and has thrown just three passes the last three seasons — including none since joining San Francisco in 2023. Allen said he preparation hasn't changed this week with the exception of getting to work with the first-team receivers instead of running the scout team. “It’s an opportunity.” he said. “The circumstances are what they are. But I think our team all year long we’ve been kind of dealing with injuries here and there. It’s been a big next-man-up mentality. It’s definitely an opportunity for me to go out and play well and put our guys in a good position to win the game. Obviously, we want Brock back and healthy and all that. But for the time being, it is an opportunity for me.” Joshua Dobbs will be the backup Sunday. San Francisco also will be without starting cornerback Charvarius Ward, who returned to the team this week following the death of his 1-year-old daughter on Oct. 28 but needs more time to get back up to speed. Punt returner Jacob Cowing (concussion), linebacker Tatum Bethune (knee) and defensive lineman Kevin Givens (groin) are also out. The Packers will also be without two key defensive players with cornerback Jaire Alexander ruled out after leaving last week's game with a knee injury and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper out with an injured hamstring.

To confer ‘Sangeetha Vidyanidhi’ on Prof. R. Visweswaran and ‘Sangeetha Seva Nidhi’ on P. Nityananda RaoCaitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Wemby at The Garden. LeBron vs. Steph. The NBA's Christmas Day lineup, as always, has star power LeBron James made his Christmas debut in 2003. Victor Wembanyama was born 10 days later. That’s right: James has been featured on the NBA’s big day for longer than Wembanyama has been alive. And on Wednesday the league’s oldest player and brightest young star will be big parts of the holiday showcase. It’s another Christmas quintupleheader, with Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the New York Knicks, Minnesota going to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch, Philadelphia heading to Boston to renew a storied rivalry, James and the Los Angeles Lakers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and Denver playing at Phoenix. Pro Picks: Chiefs will beat the Steelers and Ravens will edge the Texans on Christmas Day Playoff berths, draft positioning and more are up for grabs in Week 17. There’s going to be plenty of football on television this holiday week with the NFL playing games on five out of six days, starting with a doubleheader on Christmas Day featuring four of the AFC’s top five teams. Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visit Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. Then, two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens take on C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. The Bears host the Seahawks on Thursday night and there are three games on Saturday, making Sunday’s schedule light at nine games. Falcons drafting Penix no longer a head-scratcher with rookie QB shining in place of benched Cousins It was the most surprising first-round pick in a long time when the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall selection in the NFL draft last April. That came just six weeks after the Falcons had signed free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal with $100 million in guarantees. But that move is no longer a head-scratcher after Penix's solid starting debut in place of a benched and turnover-prone Cousins. Several teams have fared well with new quarterbacks this season including the Steelers, Broncos, Vikings and Commanders. Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could start a trend in skiing. And pro sports in general ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could be the start of a trend in ski racing. The 40-year-old American standout had replacement surgery in April and returned to the World Cup circuit after nearly six years last weekend. She says her knee feels “amazing" and that "it’s something to seriously consider for athletes that have a lot of knee problems.” Her surgery was the first of its kind in World Cup skiing. Vonn had a robot-assisted surgery in April with part of the bone in her right knee cut off and replaced by two titanium pieces. She was planning her comeback a month later. Boise State's legacy includes winning coaches and championship moments No. 8 and third-seeded Boise State is preparing for its third trip to the Fiesta Bowl. This time it's in a playoff quarterfinal against No. 5 and sixth-seeded Penn State on New Year’s Eve. Boise State's first appearance on the national stage was in a memorable victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 2007. But former coach Chris Petersen said the victory in that bowl three years later over TCU was even more meaningful for the program. Embiid ejected after drawing 2 technicals in game against Wembanyama and Spurs PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was ejected in the first half of Monday night’s game against San Antonio after drawing two technical fouls. Referee Jenna Schroeder ejected Embiid with 2 minutes, 59 seconds left in the second quarter. The seven-time All-Star received the first technical for arguing with Schroeder, and received another technical — and ejection — from Schroeder before any more game time elapsed. Embiid was close to Schroeder, but it wasn’t clear from replays whether he made contact with the official. An enraged Embiid charged toward the officials after the ejection and was restrained by teammate Kyle Lowry, head coach Nick Nurse and several assistants. Nikki Glaser uses Prime Video's NFL postgame show appearances to help prepare for Golden Globes INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Nikki Glaser has become a familiar face to football fans this season. Her breakthrough performance at the Tom Brady Roast on May 5 paved the way for five appearances on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” postgame show. Glaser said before last Thursday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers that doing her “Late Hits” segment was a no-brainer following her success at the Brady roast. Leaving Thunder, Bucks off the NBA's Christmas game list has those teams feeling snubbed Oklahoma City leads the Western Conference and has a MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Milwaukee has the NBA’s leading scorer in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They were the teams that made their way to the NBA Cup final. By any measure, they’re both very good teams. And neither will play on Christmas Day this year. Bah, humbug. The NBA faces the same challenge every summer, figuring out which 10 teams will get the honor of playing on Christmas Day. But the Bucks and Thunder are right to feel snubbed. Heat lose guard Dru Smith for remainder of season with torn Achilles Miami Heat guard Dru Smith has suffered another season-ending injury, this one a torn Achilles in his left leg. It is the third time that Smith has had a season cut short since February 2022. Smith got hurt Monday night in Miami’s 110-95 win over Brooklyn. The Achilles tear was the preliminary diagnosis once he left the court for evaluation, and an MRI exam on Tuesday confirmed the severity of the injury. This injury comes 13 months after he was lost for most of the 2023-24 season with a right knee injury. Smith also saw his 2021-22 season in the G League cut short by a knee injury.
