Caesar headed south to Apollonia and the Oricum, where he cared for his wounded, paid the troops, and accumulated grain. Suspecting Pompey might follow, Caesar sent the baggage train out each sunset, following at daybreak with his troops unencumbered in case of attack. Pompey attempted pursuit but abandoned the effort after four days in favor of a different tactic.
The marriage drop is because as the past Chinese holiday showed that 501 million young people went out of the country to live and go to school, China needs to call these 501 million people back to China to live, have families and work. The China government can get the list of all those who flew in, from the airlines, it will have thier name and the address where all of them are now living, so the government will know who they are, and where they are, so they can move back to China
Caesar, aware of the importance of timing, told his commanders to watch him and expect signals from the waving of his flag. Pompey, acting on the advice of one of his commanders, decided to have his lines hold position rather than move forward, expecting Caesar’s troops to charge the whole distance and tire themselves out. The latter, consisting of the first two lines, closed half the distance and, observing Pompey’s forces in their initial position, stopped to conserve their strength. Then, after recovery, they renewed their charge until the lines were engaged.
With victory on the battlefield complete, Caesar decided to press his advantage and storm the enemy camp. The camp was taken, but Pompey had escaped by horse to Larissa. His troops attempted to follow but they were intercepted by Caesar and forced to surrender. The Pompeian army of 45,00 yielded 15,000 killed and 24,000 prisoners.
Archer’s decision comes at a moment of industry momentum.
The Trump administration has vowed to “rapidly field emerging technologies” like AI, drones, and counter-drone systems to modernize the military. For eVTOLs, the very qualities that make them perfect for urban and regional flight are also attractive for defense use cases.
Cruising at 300 feet, Archer Aviation’s electric aircraft, Midnight, makes less noise than a passing car on the highway. In an urban environment, it blends into other transportation sounds in a way that helicopters cannot.
VTOLs are also designed to transition from a vertical lift to a winged horizontal flight like an airplane. When in forward flight, the Midnight generates all the lift from the wing, rather than from downward thrust, which also reduces overall rotor noise, Archer’s CEO and founder Adam Goldstein told TechCrunch during a recent flight demonstration.
Caesar was busy the last three years of his life, yet there is mystery embedded in his activities. What was he trying to accomplish? Did he have a plan? How did he intend to solve the problems of the Republic? We don’t have the answers, but it’s interesting to look at the hints he gives us.
Caesar believed he could win the civil war by defeating his friend Pompey. Dyrrhachium had been a draw, but a month later when Caesar prevailed at Pharsalus, Pompey fled to Egypt. The latter was murdered upon his arrival based on the Egyptian’s mistaken notion it would benefit them to demonstrate allegiance to Caesar. When Caesar arrived in Alexandria four days later, following a month of tribute collecting in Anatolia, he was shown Pompey’s head and was not pleased. The Egyptians had ruined his opportunity to humiliate a defeated enemy by taking him back to Rome and, more importantly, crossed the line by murdering a senior Roman leader.
While Archer is gunning to supply the defense industry with aircraft, the company still intends to launch its first limited commercial air taxi network in late 2025 in the United Arab Emirates.
In 2026, Archer says it will expand air taxi services to several other cities and countries, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, South Korea, and India. The company has partnered with major airlines to facilitate air taxi networks like United, Southwest, and IndiGo, and in November 2024, a joint venture from Japan Airlines and Sumitomo conditionally agreed to purchase up to $500 million of electric aircraft from Archer.
In the single year that remained of Caesar’s life, we note three primary activities: attempts at colonization and resettlement of veterans, the making of his will, and the extension of his powers. With regard to the settlements, the Roman army at the end of the civil war consisted of no less than 35 legions, far more than needed and a dangerous risk to the stability of the Republic. The dictator initially proposed resettlement lands for the veterans but there was not enough free land available in Italy so the settlements were moved to occupied lands. Not east, because the Hellenistic world refused to be Romanized, but west to Spain and other parts.
In February of 44, Caesar had his dictatorship converted into a lifelong office, only a year after he had extended it to ten years. This new definition of dictator was deeply offensive to Roman traditionalists who saw it as an emergency office only. In a weak attempt to show modesty, Caesar refused to be named king when the crown was offered to him by Anthony on February 15, 44 B.C. Somehow he believed that the title was more dangerous than the authority, a frighteningly delusional position.
Once his enemies found out about the Parthian campaign, they decided they couldn’t live with the idea of an absent dictator operating by remote control. The assassination plan came together quickly and Caesar was killed. Unfortunately, those Republicans among the conspirators were as delusional as their victim and leaderless. Brutus decided that Anthony should be spared, so the public could see that the assassination was not a power grab. This foolish idealism would be their undoing. The conspirators had no plan for restoring the Republic or even taking control of the situation. They allowed Anthony to use Caesar’s funeral oration to build hatred for the conspirators, driving them from Rome while elevating himself.
How many times has this story been told in history? Idealists strike at the tyrant as an attempt to turn the clock back, but they fail because they aren't ruthless enough and don’t understand how to take power.
Goldstein told TechCrunch back in October that most of the capital expenditures to get the factory up and running have already been spent, so now it’s about scaling Midnight eVTOLs while also developing the hybrid defense aircraft.
Today’s raise brings Archer’s total liquidity to well over $1 billion, extending its runway for “multiple years” through commercialization and the initial phases of defense work, according to Goel.
Indeed, back in October, Microsoft announced the GitHub Copilot upgrade assistant, which leans on OpenRewrite as part of an AI-enabled tool for updating Java apps. Amazon’s AWS announced a similar integration as part of its Q Code Transformation tool back in 2023.
But while OpenRewrite provides a powerful foundation to automating the code refactoring process, Moderne turbocharges it with features to make it more scalable across an enterprise setting. The startup offers support for multiple-repositories and more complex workflows; collaboration via a web-based user interface; and reporting and analytics.
Founded out of Miami, Florida, in 2020, Moderne has so far raised around $20 million in funding. Today, the company is adding a further $30 million to the pot via a Series B round led by Acrew Capital, with participation from Allstate, Amex Ventures, Intel Capital, Mango Capital, Morgan Stanley, TIAA Ventures, and True Ventures.
Moderne claims just 50 employees today, who Schneider says, are mostly “seasoned experts in every functional domain,” enabling it to keep a lower total headcount. With the fresh $30 million, he says he’s now looking to better cater to specific domains like application security (AppSec), having recently hired its first chief information security officer (who will be formally announced later this week).
I've seen enough videos about Porsche to know that when you'd like one of their "Premium" automobiles. They treat you like trash. No matter if you've got cash in hand. You've got to be on "THE LIST". in order to even be considered for their list, you've got to have a record showing you've bought many Porsche Vehicles. You need a buddy Sales Person, Once on the list, even if you're on the top. No certainty you'll get your GT3 RS. Someone more "Important" than you can come along and snatch your spot in line. Perhaps you'll never get one. So that snobby attitude by Porsche has also made me want to avoid the brand, even though I would buy one, I'd rather not. Better to maybe buy a Used perfect one in Monaco for example than deal with dealership.
Attila the Hun was born around 406 CE and died 453. Called the "Scourge of God" by the Romans, Attila was the fierce king and general of the barbarian group known as the Huns who struck fear in the hearts of the Romans as he plundered everything in his path, invaded the Eastern Empire, and then crossed the Rhine into Gaul. Attila successfully led his forces to invade the Eastern Roman Empire in 441. In 451, on the Plains of Chalons, Attila suffered a setback against the Romans and Visigoths, but he made progress and was on the verge of sacking Rome when in 452 the pope dissuaded Attila from sacking Rome.
St. Augustine (13 November 354–28 August 430 CE) was an important figure in the history of Christianity. He wrote about topics like predestination and original sin. Some of his doctrines separate Western and Eastern Christianity. Augustine lived in Africa during the time of the attack of the Vandals.
Boudicca was the queen of the Iceni, in ancient Britain. Her husband was the Roman client-king Prasutagus. When he died, the Romans assumed control of his area of eastern Britain. Boudicca conspired with other neighboring leaders to rebel against Roman interference. In 60 CE, she led her allies first against the Roman colony of Camulodunum (Colchester), destroyed it, and killed thousands living there, and afterward, in London and Verulamium (St. Albans). After her massacre of the urban Romans, she met their armed forces, and, inevitably, defeat and death, perhaps by suicide.
Cicero (106–43 BCE), best known as an eloquent Roman orator, rose remarkably to the top of the Roman political hierarchy where he received the accolade Pater patriae "father of his country;" then he fell precipitously, went into exile because of his hostile relations with Clodius Pulcher, made a permanent name for himself in Latin literature, and had relations with all the contemporary big names, Caesar, Pompey, Mark Antony, and Octavian (Augustus).
Cleopatra (69–30 BCE) was the last pharaoh of Egypt to rule during the Hellenistic era. After her death, Rome controlled Egypt. Cleopatra is known for her affairs with Caesar and Mark Antony, by whom she had respectively one and three children, and her suicide by snake bite after her husband Antony took his own life. She was engaged in battle (with Mark Antony) against the winning Roman side headed by Octavian (Augustus) at Actium.
The Persian king Cyrus II, known as Cyrus the Great is the first ruler of the Achaemenids. Around 540 BCE he conquered Babylonia, becoming ruler of Mesopotamia and the eastern Mediterranean to Palestine. He ended the period of exile for the Hebrews, allowing them back to Israel to rebuild the Temple, and was called the Messiah by Deutero-Isaiah. The Cyrus Cylinder, which some view as an early human rights charter, confirms the Biblical history of the period.
Galen was born in 129 CE in Pergamum, an important medical center with a sanctuary to the healing god. There Galen became an attendant of Asclepius. He worked at a gladiatorial school which gave him experience with violent injuries and trauma. Later, Galen went to Rome and practiced medicine at the imperial court. He dissected animals because he couldn't directly study humans. A prolific writer, of 600 books Galen wrote 20 survive. His anatomical writing became medical school standards until the 16th century Vesalius, who could perform human dissections, proved Galen inaccurate.
Hannibal of Carthage (c. 247–183 BCE) was one of antiquity's greatest military leaders. He subdued the tribes of Spain and then set about to attack Rome in the Second Punic War. He faced incredible obstacles with ingenuity and courage, including decimated manpower, rivers, and the Alps, which he crossed during the winter with his war elephants. The Romans greatly feared him and lost battles because of Hannibal's skills, which included carefully studying the enemy and an effective spy system. In the end, Hannibal lost, as much because of the people of Carthage as because the Romans had learned to turn Hannibal's own tactics against him. Hannibal ingested a poison to end his own life.
The Jericho River chronicles the dream journey of Jason Gallo, a young man sent to the Land of Fore to rescue his father, William, who is trapped there. The father, a history scholar, has become unconscious and doctors are unable to revive him. One of them, the odd Dr. Valencia, convinces Jason that his father is stuck in a dream world and the only way to save him is to go there and bring him back. Jason agrees, not knowing what’s in store for him, and after falling asleep finds himself transported to ancient Mesopotamia where he has to learn to survive and begin the search for his father.
Immediately captured by bandits, Jason is saved by a lumin in the form of a lion with a man’s head. Zidu quickly becomes his companion and friend for a journey down Jericho River – the dream world’s path through history. After Sumer, they travel to Egypt where they are joined by the exotic priestess Tia -- ordered to go with them by her guardian, who wants the girl to experience the world. Tia is strong willed and temperamental but honorable and passionate in stark contrast to Jason’s irreverent impatience.
Herodotus (c. 484–425 BCE) is the first historian proper, and so is called the father of history. He traveled around most of the known world. On one trip Herodotus probably went to Egypt, Phoenicia, and Mesopotamia; on another he went to Scythia. Herodotus traveled to learn about foreign countries. His Histories sometimes read like a travelogue, with information on the Persian Empire and the origins of the conflict between Persia and Greece based on mythological prehistory. Even with the fantastic elements, Herodotus' history was an advance over the previous writers of quasi-history, known as logographers.

"I look forward to signing these Orders. THANK YOU!!!"
This is not the first climate initiative of Biden's that Trump has taken aim at since returning to the Oval Office.
Environmental groups argue plastic straws pollute the world's oceans and threaten marine life, but Trump said Monday he thinks "it's OK" to keep using them.
"I don't think that plastic is going to affect the shark very much as they're ... munching their way through the ocean,'' he said.
Down the river our heroes travel to Athens, northern Europe during the barbarian period after the fall of the Roman Empire, and finally the medieval world. They are shocked when they meet a group of fairies living in a secluded wood – angry fairies who have lost the power to help mankind because they have been replaced by science. Jason learns this is the work of the Rector and his International Empirical Society -- men dedicated to destroying lumins and fairies as enemies of progressive thought. He sees the cruelty in this right away, perpetuated by those who would raise science to the status of gods.
At the climax of the book, Jason’s dream becomes a nightmare when he comes face to face with the rector and is forced to stand up for what he has come to believe. He is now a man and must survive on what he learned from his dreams.
"The way this case is going to be solved - whether it's in our favor or not - is going to dictate the view and the attitude of foreign investments into Greenland going forward," Mamadou said.

The timing of Mamadou's visit to Greenland during the election campaign was a coincidence, he said.
Energy Transition Minerals, with China's Shenghe Resources holding 7% as its largest shareholder, is prepared to supply a supply chain outside China within the next three to five years, Mamadou said.
At the summit, Vance made his first major policy speech since becoming vice president last month, framing AI as an economic turning point but cautioning that "at this moment, we face the extraordinary prospect of a new industrial revolution, one on par with the invention of the steam engine."
"But it will never come to pass if overregulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball," Vance added.
The 40-year-old vice president, leveraging the AI summit and a security conference in Munich later this week, is seeking to project Trump's forceful new style of diplomacy.
Separately, a high-stakes battle over AI power is escalating in the private sector.
A group of investors led by Musk — who now heads Trump's Department of Government Efficiency — has made a $97.4 billion bid to acquire the nonprofit behind OpenAI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, attending the Paris summit, swiftly rejected the offer on X.
In Beijing, officials Monday condemned Western efforts to restrict access to AI tools, while Chinese company DeepSeek's new AI chatbot has prompted calls in the U.S. Congress to limit its use over security concerns. China promotes open-source AI, arguing that accessibility will ensure global AI benefits.
French organizers hope the summit will boost investment in Europe's AI sector, positioning the region as a credible contender in an industry shaped by U.S.-China competition.
