Countrywide, two birds of prey<\/a> \u2014 hawk<\/em> and eagle<\/em> \u2014 get the most searches. They each take the No. 1 search spot in a dozen states. Duck<\/em> comes in third nationally, but it has the broadest state-level interest, taking the top spot in 17 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These systems continuously record your movements without a warrant<\/a><\/strong>, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Your driving history is rarely confined<\/strong> to the town or city where the cameras are installed. It’s typically shared with thousands of other agencies nationwide (secretly)<\/a>. Once the data is out of your community, you have no control over how it’s used or what rules apply, leading to instances of misuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s supporting the people who are imploding<\/a> Shorewood Hills though. She has really strange choice of friends\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was feeling that I\u2019m getting old without enough achievement<\/a>,\u201d Son said this week. \u201cI was wondering, why should I end my life not feeling satisfied?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple estimate extends the latest four-week commercial crude draw rate toward the modern low-water mark. It is not a physical tank-bottom estimate<\/a>. If inventories build instead of draw, no low-water retest is projected. Oil prices can react before or after physical stress appears, so the pressure window is a risk signal rather than a prediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today there is much more variety in world oil and natural gas than during the 1970s. The shale revolution has transformed the U.S. from the world\u2019s largest importer of oil to the world\u2019s largest producer<\/a> of oil and natural gas and largest exporter of liquefied natural gas.  Overall, the Western Hemisphere now produces more oil than the Middle East did before the crisis. Canada is the world\u2019s fourth-largest oil producer. Brazil produces four times as much oil as Venezuela; and in Guyana, where production began only seven years ago, output almost equals Venezuela\u2019s. In Argentina\u2019s Vaca Muerta region, shale oil production has grown sixfold since 2020. The current disruption will propel more oil and gas investment in the Western Hemisphere and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a camera gear collection problem and as part of my personal 12 step plan, I restrict myself from purchasing functioning lenses. This sounds illogical<\/a>, and it frankly is, but it’s very hard for me to resist heavily discounted lenses. To keep my hat, I tend to only bid on lenses that are less than 1\/4 of the going used sale prices and have little to no mechanical damage. In this case I’ve been eyeing the recently produced sigma I-series lenses that feature mostly aluminum construction. A broken 45mm f\/2.8 lens popped up on ebay in January for a song and a dance, and I simply could not resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remaining majority of companies are those that are going nowhere or those that are sliding back in that direction<\/a>. Because trajectory, management, and quality of operations are strongly correlated, zero or negative growth typically signals that something is wrong or broken at a company, and it isn’t being fixed.1<\/sup> The company has some disconnect in the feedback loop between performance and accountability. These companies are not at the top of their game and the toughest challenges you’ll encounter at them are navigating the dysfunction without becoming jaded or burning out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the painting\u2019s old varnishes yellowed<\/a>, darkening the picture and obscuring Delacroix\u2019s chromatic effects. Conservation treatment undertaken between May 2025 and April 2026 reinforced the structure of the work \u2013 the canvas was mounted back onto its restored stretcher \u2013 and removed timeworn varnishes and materials left behind from previous restoration efforts from the pictorial layer. A new, transparent varnish was then applied, and the small gaps in the paint were filled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples: Wuhu sold a cement factory for 200M yuan, bought a used Ford engine line from the UK, poached engineers from state giant FAW, and reverse-engineered a VW platform. That scrappy<\/a> startup? It became Chery\u2014now China’s #2 automaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clematis \u2018Queen\u2019s Nurse\u2019 has two shades of colour to its flowers<\/a>. The young ones on the upper growth have a big rose-pink central band against a lilac-pink background, a blend which is found only in a clematis. The flowers from the older wood underneath are solely rose pink. \u2018Queen\u2019s Nurse\u2019 is restrained enough to grow well in a container in a small courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argentina\u2019s<\/a> genuine case for Thiel rests on things that have nothing to do with Milei: a younger demographic than Europe, world-class human capital, abundant lithium and rare earths, and geographic isolation from great power conflict. He may be right for entirely the wrong reasons, on a longer timeline than he expects, through considerably more turbulence than the current narrative suggests. Argentina\u2019s laid-back mentality is precisely what makes it exciting to foreigners. But as a project for civilizational renewal? Unless you\u2019re talking about surviving a nuclear war, absolutely not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, touring colleges in London, a family friend asked me a version of the question Boeing\u2019s own engineers asked each other before the crashes<\/a>. Theirs was, \u201cWould you put your family on a MAX simulator-trained aircraft?\u201d The answer was no. Mine was simpler: would I put my daughter on streets policed by a two-tier system, where carrying pepper spray to defend herself is a crime but the men she fears walk free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
