Xcel Energy Using AI Technology to Detect Wildfires in Texas PanhandleBlues have struggled to string together positive results so far this season. But Morton says having a more settled team and strength in depth will enable Kevin Maher’s side to be at their best more often. “It helps having a settled team and having competition for places too,” said Morton. “We need 20 players, not just 11 and there will be rotation, injuries and setbacks so every player is important in getting a consistent team gelling. “We’ve had some clean sheets under our belts against top teams too now and naturally it builds confidence. “That confidence will continue and hopefully we can get a good unbeaten run going to climb the league table.” The Shrimpers triumphed 2-0 at Halifax Town on Saturday to make it three matches unbeaten. And Morton labelled it a significant success for Blues, who are now 14th in the table. “It was really important to get three points at the end of what I thought as a positive week,” said Morton. “Getting two draws and a win in the week is good, especially having Forest Green, Woking where we went down to 10 men and Halifax away. “It’s a tough week and to get the win was massive. “We’re really big on clean sheets so that was pleasing too. “Collectively we felt it was a good performance and it’s one we’ll take confidence from too which is important.” Morton also played a key part in securing Saturday’s win as he set up both of Southend’s goals. And the 25-year-old wants that to be a sign of things to come. “It's always good to be involved in goals and it’s something I want to add to my game,” said Morton. “Maybe it will be assists more than goals playing deeper but I want to help the team any way I can. "I’ve not always based my game on stats mainly because of the position I play and the responsibilities I have elsewhere but you’ve got to do a bit of everything. “I feel I can add a few more stats but as long as my performance is positive overall then those stats will come.” Morton’s next chance to impress comes at Brentwood Town in the FA Trophy this weekend. And the midfielder stressed the Shrimpers would be taking the third round tie seriously. “We want to win every game,” said Morton. “We’ve had a bit of inconsistency this season but cup games can help with your league performances. “We look at this as just as important as a league match where hopefully we can get a good performance and win. “We’ll be taking it seriously and we’ve prepared properly this week. “I see it as a great opportunity to make it four unbeaten so we feel more positive and confident going into the Hartlepool game next week.” Morton again looks likely to feature in the centre of the park having started nine of the last 10 games. And he is enjoying his regular role in the team. “To be playing as regularly as I have been and getting the minutes I have means you’re naturally going to progress,” said Morton. “You’ll be fitter and sharper and getting that base means you’ll be able to express yourself a lot more. “The way we want to play suits me and you build relationships with the players on the pitch when you play. “Like I said previously, the team has been quite consistent in terms of who has been playing which helps with the team performance. “You’re gelling and everyone will be doing better the more you play. "For me I feel like I’ve been doing OK but I know there’s more to come and I’m really focused on being even better.NoneGeddy Post-Op Geddy, just after her successful brain surgery, shows signs of recovery following the pioneering procedure guided by augmented reality technology at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary Hospital. Geddy During Surgery Using Novarad's VisAR Navigation System Geddy's brain tumor was successfully resected. This pioneering procedure was performed on Geddy, who, as a six-week-old puppy, was abandoned in a high-speed chase involving a stolen car and gunfire in Northern Mississippi. She was rescued by local law enforcement and taken to a veterinarian. After being posted for adoption, Geddy was united with a loving family. During the summer of 2024, Geddy began experiencing seizures and neurological signs and was diagnosed with a brain tumor through MRI. The severity of her condition prompted a referral to the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) with veterinary neurosurgeon scientist Wojciech Panek, DVM, DACVIM, and neurology specialty intern Tessa Arendt, DVM. Panek and his research collaborator, human neurosurgeon and Director of the Penn Brain Tumor Center Nduka Amankulor, MD, from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) were familiar with an innovative AR technology emerging in human surgeries and recognized the potential for this technology to assist in Geddy's operation. The augmented reality guidance system known as VisAR, developed by Novarad Corporation and co-invented by Novarad CEO Wendell Gibby, MD, is used in human medical procedures for its precision and accuracy. The decision was made to use VisAR in Geddy's surgery, led by the surgery team of Panek and Amankulor. During the operation, preoperative MRI images were superimposed with anatomical accuracy onto Geddy's skull, allowing for precise biopsy and tumor resection. Novarad representative Darin Johnson assisted in the calibration of VisAR during surgery. The complex and delicate procedure was a success. "Geddy has recovered from surgery; her owners report no neurological signs nor seizures,” said Panek. "We will continue to monitor Geddy's recovery, but I am incredibly pleased with her progress. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Gibby and the entire Novarad team for their willingness to partner with Penn Vet to implement their lifesaving AR surgical navigation system, VisAR, in this particularly sensitive canine brain surgery.” "This groundbreaking surgery marks a milestone in veterinary medicine and highlights the incredible potential and promising outcomes of augmented reality in animal healthcare,” said Gibby. "The successful use of VisAR in Geddy's brain surgery is a testament to the power of innovation, the dedication of the Penn Vet and PSOM neurosurgery team, their top-notch research, and the tireless efforts of Novarad to bring this life-saving technology to the forefront of medical care.” Geddy's remarkable journey, from abandonment to a pioneer in canine veterinary neurosurgery, highlights the incredible advances in veterinary medicine, promising a brighter future for animals and their owners needing complex surgeries.

Newland Payment Technology Flykey: Remote Key Injection
I'M A Celebrity suffered a very awkward tech blunder after Melvin's exit left Ant McPartlin frustrated. Presenter Ant , 49, couldn't contain his annoyance when a voicenote from Carol Vorderman, 63, was not played aloud for evicted star Melvin, 44, to hear. Though it was clearly audible to both Ant and Dec through their earpieces, and to viewers at home, the Radio 1 DJ was left out of the loop. In a flirty message, Carol teased: "Melvin, I'm blushing redder than that dress I'm wearing [inaudible], but I'll be rooting for you all the way through, see you on the outside." As it played, Ant looked on at the crew, saying: "We can't hear it on the floor. We can't hear it. "We can't hear it down here, I'm afraid, we've got it in our ear but you can't hear it. I'll play it for you privately." Dec chimed in: "Basically, she's blushing. We'll catch up with a bit more of that." Melvin was left stunned, asking: "Serious?" The London-native has made no secret of his crush on the Countdown legend. And, last week, The Sun told how he secretly attempted to get Carol's attention before going into the jungle. According to colleagues at the BBC, he asked Producer Tom to help him win her over - with an impressive idea. Host Danni Diston exclusively told us: "None of us knew about Melvin's crush on Carol, but apparently Producer Tom, who works at Radio One, did. "He helped Melvin DM Carol Vorderman in Welsh because obviously she's a Welsh queen." Danni added: "Whether or not she replied, I don't know. "I would like to see them go on a date. I think they'd be a cute couple. "I know she's done the jungle already, but do you reckon she'd go back in and surprise him? I don't think she would, but it would be great." In a recent installment, Melvin admitted fancying his "dream woman" Carol - and even asked her out live on TV. He acted out his desired 'date' with Carol to campmates - after admitting he'd been too shy to say hello to the former TV presenter. Carol reacted to the bizarre moment Melvin did role play with Tulisa in camp, as he asked Carol out to a Thai restaurant. In her first voicenote sent in to ITV2's Unpacked, Carol said: "Melvin, or should I say Jungle Man.. Melvin Vorderman... It sounds the same to me. "Right, question. Have you been spying on me because just last night I had a little Thai food. "I had pad Thai, quite a lot of it, with a little chicken satay on the side. "It was delicious, Jungle Man. "Anyway keep doing what you're doing. You're doing a brilliant job. See you on the other side." Melvin hosts the mid-morning show on BBC Radio 1 alongside his pal Rickie Haywood-Williams and Charlie Hedges. They also host the famous Live Lounge together. From January, his colleague Danni is moving to a new slot on BBC Radio One with her co-host Sam MacGregor. Sam and Danni, who previously held the Weekend Breakfast slot, will now host an afternoon show that runs from Friday to Sunday, 1-4pm. i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year.. Coleen Rooney - Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney , has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever. Tulisa - The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year's I'm A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal. Alan Halsall - The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities. Melvin Odoom - The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet - the Aussie jungle . GK Barry - The UK's biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers. Dean McCullough - A rising star amongst this year's bunch of celebs , Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live. Oti Mabuse - The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV's Dancing On Ice . Danny Jones - The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle , after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he's now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice , along with bandmate Tom Fletcher.

Maura Higgins - The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard . Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year. Rev. Richard Coles - Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity , and he's ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star , said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth."Before Jimmy Carter was elected president in 1976 magazine (of all places) that’s probably best remembered for Carter’s unprompted confession that he had “looked on a lot of women with lust” and, thus, according to Jesus’ “almost impossible” standard, had “committed adultery in my heart many times.” Though his statement provoked some laughter (and some outright derision) the interview revealed Carter — in Plains, Georgia — as a man of a deep and a deeply considered faith. In that interview, he candidly discussed what he believed, why he believed it, how his beliefs would intersect with his presidency and, of course, his unwavering love for his wife, Rosalynn Smith Carter, . The couple were married for 77 years. We have reason to believe that the faith of was just as unwavering, even though (or maybe because) for what he called the denomination’s “increasingly rigid” beliefs about . In addition to his , Carter also used his record-setting length of time as a former president to . Reports indicate that the home he shared with his wife was recently valued at . Despite there being no religious test for political candidates, in many places office seekers know they have to make a show of being Christian to win. But the political necessity of a profession of faith gives us ample reason to doubt its sincerity. An official in George W. Bush’s Office of Faith Based Initiatives said the goal of the office was to elect Republicans, that the administration used religious conservatives as pawns and that Donald Trump famously said: “ . Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind.” Trump would go on to become the person many white evangelicals would . That was bad enough. But it was even worse given that Carter was still on the scene: teaching the Bible, helping the poor, spreading peace, living humbly and, for 77 years, staying married to the same woman. “What Christ taught about most was pride, that one person should never think he was any better than anybody else,” Carter told Playboy in that interview. The idea of a humble American president seems absurd, but it’s even harder to imagine that the 100-year-old’s determination to live up to the “almost impossible” standard of his faith was an act.
By Timothy Gardner WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a private company spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, plans what it calls the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant in Virginia, to generate power by the early 2030s, the company said on Tuesday. The project, if successful, could revolutionize the global energy industry by tapping into a virtually limitless power source, similar to that which fuels the stars. But it is a long-shot. CFS lacks local and federal permits, investors to fund most of the plant's construction, and the answer to fusion's top technological question: how to get more energy out of a fusion reaction than what goes into it in the first place. Still, CFS, the largest private-sector fusion company, which has raised $2 billion since 2018 mainly for demonstration projects, is confident more money will flow for the plant. "The fact that there's a broad investor syndicate, that's a good thing," Bob Mumgaard, the company's CEO, told Reuters ahead of the announcement. CFS investors include Italian energy company ENI, Temasek, a sovereign wealth fund from Singapore, and Norway's Equinor. For decades, scientists in the U.S., China, Europe, Russia and Japan have hoped that fusion, the reaction that produces the light and heat from the sun, can be replicated and sustained on Earth. To create fusion reactions, physicists use lasers or magnets to jam two light atoms into one, releasing large amounts of energy. When harnessed, the reactions could be used in power stations to generate emissions-free electricity, helping to fight climate change. As power demand rises due to growth in artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and cryptocurrencies, companies are raising billions of dollars in hopes of commercializing the technology. Unlike today's nuclear reactors, powered by fission, which splits atoms, fusion does not generate large amounts of long-lasting radioactive waste. But there are other challenges, such as ensuring materials withstand constant bombardments of high-energy neutrons and some of the hottest temperatures ever created on Earth, and how to transfer that heat to a turbine to generate electricity. Getting reactions to occur almost continuously instead of once in a while is yet another challenge. A fusion breakthrough came two years ago when scientists at a U.S. lab in California briefly achieved "fusion ignition" with lasers, though the energy output was tiny compared to the energy firing the lasers. NO GUARANTEE CFS said it will start seeking local, state and federal permits next year. That is well before it expects to produce in 2026 its first plasma, or a superheated, charged state of matter that allows fusion reactions, at SPARC, its demonstration magnet-driven project in Massachusetts. It hopes to reach net energy shortly after. "There is of course no guarantee in life that all will go according to plan, but it's pretty sure if you don't prepare, it won't," Mumgaard said about the plan to build in Virginia before ironing out the science. Dominion Energy will provide non-financial help, including development and technical expertise and leasing rights for the proposed site in Chesterfield County. Edward Baine, president of Dominion Energy Virginia, said CFS is "advancing the exciting energy potential of fusion." CFS expects ARC, the plant planned for Virginia, will have capacity to generate 400 megawatts of electricity — enough to power industrial sites or about 150,000 homes. Last year, the five-member U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted unanimously to separate fusion regulation from fission regulation, a move that developers of the new technology said would allow them to innovate. Last week, two anonymous NRC staffers who helped develop the rule, challenged the different licensing approach in a public document saying such plants could use large amounts of water for cooling and leak tritium, a hard-to-contain radioactive isotope. Mumgaard said CFS is learning how to deal with tritium at its Massachusetts facility and that the staffers' criticisms were "just part of the normal process of staff working through" fusion issues.
