[Regnum] A magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck southern Peru, with its epicenter near the city of Coracora. The country's National Seismological Center reported this on August 20.
The epicenter of the tremors was located 35 km north of the city of Coracora, the capital of the province of Parinacochas.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre ( EMSC ), the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.7 and originated at a depth of 70 km. The epicenter was located in central Peru, approximately 175 km northeast of Ayacucho and 40 km northeast of Tambo.
Earlier, two powerful earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, struck northern Venezuela on the evening of June 24. The natural disaster caused widespread destruction, prompting the country to declare a state of emergency. According to the latest data, the death toll has reached at least 6,438.
A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on August 10. Dozens of buildings collapsed. The earthquake was the strongest to hit Colombia in the 21st century. A national state of emergency was declared in the country. Army units were deployed for search and rescue operations. The Russian Embassy reported that no Russian casualties or fatalities had been reported.
[Breitbart] Peripatetic duo Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to farewell their Montecito mansion in California and return to the UK, multiple media reports detailed Thursday.
The couple intend to relocate from the U.S. later this month to a private, non-Royal residence outside London as first reported by the Daily Telegraph and the Sun newspapers.
The couple’s children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, will accompany them. They are enrolled to start at a British school when the new academic year begins in September.
The BBC reports King Charles was only told of the move on Sunday. There are no current plans for either Prince Harry or Meghan to resume their roles as working Royals as they reportedly continue to seek a life out of the public eye.
No change is expected to their official House of Windsor status and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will remain as private individuals while retaining their privileged titles.
As Breitbart News reported, the Sussexes left the UK and retreated from their Royal duties in early 2020, before settling in California in March that year.
The couple decamped to Montecito via Canada and quickly settled into the celebrity lifestyle offered by the elites they surrounded themselves with in the California enclave.
They sought to earn their living through lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify as well as Meghan’s home products via her As Ever company.
Harry reportedly described his life in the public eye and Royal Family as being “trapped within this bubble” which impacted his mental health.
Their ties to the UK since have been brief and fraught with problems.
Prince Harry’s recent July visit was overshadowed by his High Court loss in a privacy case brought against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.
The defeat means Harry is facing a potential bill for millions of pounds after the court ruled he and other plaintiffs in the case were liable for the publisher’s legal fees.
Associated Newspapers has filed documents showing that its legal costs amounted to 34.5 million pounds ($47 million).
It is not a new story - a promising young man led astray by a painted Jezebel. The irony here is that this might actually make for a good Netflix series.

They wouldn't want to return to the UK to be the least liked royals. Andrew has made this move possible.

I liked the South Park 'Worldwide Privacy Tour' episode that was swirling around for a while where "The prince of Canada (who looks a lot like Harry) and his wife (who looks and acts a lot like Meghan) try to find privacy and seclusion in a small mountain town".
Used to be able to view for free, but now one would have to buy or rent it.

[News With Views] While we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, let’s celebrate all the women who made America possible. Martha Washington stood by General George Washington as she bandaged the wounded troops at Valley Forge. Martha Jefferson stood with Thomas Jefferson throughout his dangerous career as he fought for American independence. Abigail Adams counseled John Adams throughout his career in Washington DC. In fact, she was the driving force behind her husband’s greatness.
Countless women stood by their husbands throughout America’s rocky and glorious history. Where would Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, James Monroe, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Ben Franklin and dozens of America’s great leaders be without their wives’ support, advice, and courage.
While many female Americans slip beneath the cracks such as Harriet Tubman and her "Underground Railroad" activities, she proved herself an American hero in her time. Rosa Parks kept her seat on that bus that ushered into being the "Civil Rights" movement.
Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in Ulster County, New York. At 29, she escaped with her infant daughter and from then on, she dedicated her life to advocating for the rights of both African Americans and women.
"In 1843, she joined the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, a utopian community in Massachusetts. Truth traveled throughout the country and gave speeches on topics of abolition and women’s rights. Her powerful speech, "Ain’t I a woman" was delivered in 1851 at the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio. In 1864, she met with President Lincoln at the White House to discuss the future of African Americans an after the Civil War."
Barbara Jordan was the daughter of a Baptist preacher and the great-granddaughter of one of the last Black members of the Texas House of Representatives before the disenfranchisement of Black citizens under Jim Crow.
"She won a seat in the Texas Senate in 1966, becoming the first African-American state senator in Texas since 1883. In 1972, she was elected to the US House of Representatives, becoming the first woman to represent Texas, and also served on the House Judiciary Committee. In 1994, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
Susan B. Anthony, born February 15, 1820 — March 13, 1906, was an American social reformer and women’s rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement. Born into a Quaker family committed to social equality; she collected anti-slavery petitions at the age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. She went on to form the Suffragettes that ultimately earned women the right to vote in 1919.
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump’s deputies sent more than 2,000 Mexican migrants back to their home country by flying and bussing them 2,000 miles to Mexico’s far-southern border.
The process complies with deportation laws — but it also imposes a penalty on the migrants that may deter them from re-crossing the U.S. border. The route leaves deportees far from the U.S. border, making it more difficult for them to quickly attempt another crossing.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo said Wednesday that 2,284 Mexican nationals removed from the United States have arrived in Guatemala so far this year before being transported to Mexico.
“They are arriving on planes carrying Guatemalan returnees, and what we have done is bring them in transit so that, in coordination with Mexican immigration authorities, we can return them to Mexican territory within 24 hours of their arrival in the country,” Arévalo said.
The deportees are not seeking asylum or refugee protection in Guatemala. Mexico or the United States pays for the transfers, according to Arévalo.
Mexico’s National Migration Institute confirmed that the United States has been sending Mexican deportees through Guatemala and Honduras, mostly since April. They are then taken by bus into southern Mexico.
“The reason is that the United States wants to prevent them from crossing back into its territory,” the agency said.
The Department of Homeland Security said the administration is using its legal authority to carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.
The administration “is utilizing all lawful options to carry out the largest deportation operation in history, just as President Trump promised,” DHS said.
Mexico has objected to the arrangement while working with the countries involved to bring its citizens home.
“The Mexican government has expressed its opposition to this practice to U.S. authorities and has reiterated that every Mexican citizen has the right to enter the country,” the Mexican Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
Honduras has also received Mexican deportees. Government records reviewed by the Associated Press (AP) show 82 Mexicans arrived in San Pedro Sula on flights Aug. 13 and 15. Another 35 were scheduled to arrive Thursday.
The practice has expanded sharply this year. Guatemala received only 15 Mexican deportees in 2025, Arévalo said. Honduras had reported six as of February 2026.
Trump has reached agreements with several countries to receive or transfer migrants removed from the United States. Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico have participated in the arrangements.
The move drew praise online, with some saying the policy could make it harder for deported migrants to illegally return to the United States.
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump’s deputies have begun deporting the Haitians who were imported by President Joe Biden.
After many months of courtroom delays, 161 Haitians were flown back to their home country on Thursday. The Associated Press reported:
The deportees were clad in white, and many covered their faces out of safety as journalists filmed their arrival. Nearly all declined to talk, with some fearing being targeted by gangs that control an estimated 70% of Port-au-Prince and swaths of land beyond.
The deportees included TPS holders and Haitians who had served prison sentences, said Jean Négot Bonheur Delva, director general of Haiti’s National Office of Migration.
The migrants are returning with the money and civic experience they earned during several years in Americans’ wealthy culture of ordered liberty.
The departure of 161 Haitians leaves at least 329,000 Haitians — plus roughly 15 million other illegals — left in the United States.
But the migrants also spiked Wall Street values. For example, elite investors gained an extra $20 billion per year from the 1.4 million low-wage migrants delivered by Biden’s Temporary Protected Status program, according to an investor-backed economic brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Those profits help explain why an investor-created lobbying group, FWD.us, is directing a PR campaign to keep the Haitian migants in the United States. “FWD.us can connect reporters directly with TPS holders, their family members, advocates, and others and provide economic data as highlighted in this Wall Street Journal article,” said an August 20 statement from the group.
Haiti will benefit from the return of its human resources from Ohio, including the cops, politicians, teachers, and doctors who are needed to revice the crime-ridden country.
[Breitbart] According to South Korean intelligence, North Korea responded to President Donald Trump’s peace overtures on Thursday by launching about a dozen short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) into the Sea of Japan just hours after Trump scaled back U.S.-South Korean military exercises and offered to talk with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the North Korean launch at roughly 5:00 p.m. local time. The missiles originated from somewhere near the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, flew for about 185 miles, and landed in the Sea of Japan, which Koreans refer to as the East Sea.
The launch was confirmed in an emergency alert from the office of Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae. The Japanese Coast Guard said the missiles appear to have come down outside of Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
“Under a staunch South Korea-U.S. combined defense posture, our military is closely monitoring various North Korean activities as we maintain the capability and readiness to overwhelmingly respond to any provocation,” the South Korean JCS statement said.
The JCS said it has increased surveillance to detect additional launches, and pledged to share its intelligence with the United States and Japan. The office of South Korean President Lee Jae-myung convened an emergency security meeting to discuss the launch on Thursday.
“With the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise currently under way, the office stressed the need to maintain a thorough readiness posture,” said Lee’s national security office.
Ulchi Freedom Shield is the annual U.S.-South Korean defense exercise that President Donald Trump suddenly reduced in length and scope on Sunday evening, to the apparent surprise of both U.S. and South Korean military officials.
Trump said the exercise was “totally inappropriate and hostile,” acknowledging a longstanding complaint of the North Koreans. Trump also objected to American shouldering the high cost of the exercise, and subsequently told reporters he was unhappy with South Korea for refusing to help the United States against Iran.
“Wait a minute. We have 39,000 soldiers over there guarding you from Kim Jong-un, your next door neighbor, and you’re not going to help us on a very easy military operation in Iran. That’s strange,” the president mused to reporters on Monday.
Trump coupled the reduction in Ulchi Freedom Shield with diplomatic outreach to North Korea, inviting dictator Kim Jong-un to resume talks about denuclearization that concluded without satisfying results during Trump’s first term, and hinting to reporters that Kim had responded positively to his overtures.
On Wednesday, Kim Jong-un’s top adviser and sister, Kim Yo-jong, said, “There has been no communication between the leaders of North Korea and the U.S. that we are aware of.”
“I am not aware of it at all, and perhaps it may be the only thing I do not know as regards the foreign policy of our supreme leadership,” she said sarcastically, but added that she felt the current relationship between American and North Korean leadership was “still excellent.”
[Rooters] The founder of China Evergrande Group, the world's most-indebted property developer, was sentenced to life in prison by a Chinese court on Thursday, five years after the firm's collapse shook the nation's economy and financial markets.
Hui Ka Yan, once Asia's richest man, pleaded guilty in April to eight charges, including misuse of funds, fundraising fraud, illegally taking public deposits, illegally extending loans, fraudulently issuing securities and bribery.
Evergrande, once China's premier developer, has defaulted on most of its $300 billion in liabilities, its troubles symbolising a crisis in the property sector that has long dragged on the world's second-biggest economy.
'WHAT ABOUT OUR MONEY?'
The sentence in the southern city of Shenzhen, which included confiscating all of Hui's personal property, ends his rags-to-riches story but is unlikely to bring much solace to Evergrande's domestic and foreign creditors.
Evergrande's liquidators declined to comment on the sentence. Reuters could not reach legal representatives for Hui, who had not been seen in public since Chinese authorities detained him in 2023, following Evergrande's default.
In pictures released by the court, a grey-haired Hui, 67, stood flanked by two officers, wearing a long-sleeved, navy blue collared shirt, as the court read out his sentence.
"The criminal acts of Evergrande Group, Hengda Real Estate, and Hui Ka Yan ... involved particularly huge amounts and egregious circumstances, caused particularly significant economic losses and caused particularly serious social harm, and should be severely punished according to law," the court said in a statement.
Comments by Evergrande homeowners in a social media group included: "All ordinary citizens have paid the cost," "Imprisonment is meant to protect him. If he comes out, his life is in jeopardy" and "What about our money?"
In addition to Hui's sentence, the court said it had fined Evergrande 8.82 billion yuan ($1.31 billion) and its main subsidiary Hengda 7 billion yuan, and sentenced five other senior executives to fines and prison terms ranging from six to 18 years.
Altogether, 56 people linked to Evergrande, other than Hui, received sentences on Thursday, state media CCTV reported.
The company's failure to repay billions of dollars in wealth-management products triggered protests that threatened social stability after ordinary investors, many of them on lower incomes, saw their holdings wiped out.
EVERGRANDE LIQUIDATION DRAGS ON FOR YEARS
A former steel technician raised by his grandmother in a rural village in central Henan province, Hui founded Evergrande in 1996 and turned it into China's biggest property developer by contracted sales, aggressively taking on debt.
In 2017, Hui had a net worth of $45.3 billion, the highest in Asia, according to Forbes.
A Hong Kong court ordered Evergrande liquidated in 2024, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange delisted it last year, bringing an end to a tumultuous boom-to-bust saga.
The liquidation process has moved at a glacial pace, according to its liquidators, with only about $255 million worth of assets sold as of last August, compared to creditors' claims totalling $45 billion.
Outside mainland China, the liquidators are battling in court to freeze the offshore assets of Hui and his former spouse in a struggle to claw back $6 billion in dividends and remuneration paid to the founder and other former executives.
In 2024, China's securities regulator fined Hui $6.6 million and barred him from the securities market for life, after finding Evergrande's flagship unit had inflated earnings and committed securities fraud.
[FOX] Apple is putting one of its most serious security warnings somewhere you are far less likely to miss it: right on your iPhone Lock Screen. Apple confirmed directly to CyberGuy that it sent a new wave of threat notifications last week, saying, "We can confirm threat notifications were sent on August 13 to targeted users in 110 countries, and to date we have notified users in over 150 countries in total."
If one of these alerts suddenly appears on your iPhone, do not swipe it away and assume it is another routine security notice. Apple considers these high-confidence alerts that someone has specifically targeted you with unusually sophisticated spyware. Here's what the warning means, how to verify it's real and what to do next if Apple says you were targeted.
[Rooters] Sinan Can Demir wanted to spend the last week of July burnishing his resume. Instead, he engaged in a battle of wits with an artificial-intelligence agent unleashed by a British government lab.
It started after Demir, a computer science student at the University of Texas at Dallas, stumbled across an attempt to sabotage a piece of open-source software on the code-sharing site GitHub. When he posted a warning to the program's page, two other users chimed in to insist nothing was amiss, sharing detailed explanations for why Demir had gotten it wrong.
Demir stood his ground and the sabotage attempt was thwarted. The 24-year-old native of Turkey figured he had caught a wily hacker red-handed. So he said he was shocked when Britain's AI Security Institute (AISI) got in touch to tell him that he had actually been tangling with an autonomous artificial-intelligence agent that had run amok.
"I actually thought it was a human because it was clearly lying to me," Demir told Reuters in a recent interview. "I didn't think that an AI could be capable of lying to real developers."
The AISI first revealed the interaction between Demir and the AI agent in a truncated and redacted form on August 4, when it said that safety testing meant to gauge the risk posed by various models had gone awry. Demir's identity and the details of his interaction with the AI agent, which Reuters corroborated through archived GitHub messages and contemporaneous emails, are reported here for the first time.
Five cybersecurity and AI safety experts said Demir's story was particularly disturbing because the kind of hack he discovered, called a supply-chain attack, can have far-reaching consequences. They also said the AI agent's attempt to publicly discredit Demir by creating a multi-person conversation around him showed that AI models were able to mount sophisticated efforts to trick and cajole humans.
"This crossed the line from autonomous hacking to interactive deception," said Lukasz Olejnik, a visiting senior research fellow at the Department of War Studies at King's College London. Security expert Maxie Reynolds said she was struck by how strategic the AI had been in trying to trick the student.
"This is the future of social-engineering attacks," she said.
The AISI, a research organization within the British government, referred Reuters to its report, which identified the rogue agent as having been powered by Anthropic's Mythos 5 model. AISI declined further comment. Anthropic referred Reuters to a post on X in which it noted that the testing had occurred "under 'deliberately permissive conditions' that are not representative of any of our production models" but declined further comment. GitHub said in an email that the fake personas identified by Reuters were suspended in line with its policies on deceptive behavior and hacking.
JOB HUNT LED TO MALWARE DISCOVERY
Demir, a soft-spoken junior from the Turkish city of Konya, said he had been frustrated after being turned down for more than 20 internships over the summer. So he turned to GitHub to build up his coding portfolio.
The Microsoft (MSFT.O)-owned site is a hub for open-source software, so-called because its source code is freely downloadable and auditable by anyone. Developers use GitHub to comment on one another’s projects, flag bugs, suggest changes — known as pull requests, or PRs — and work collaboratively on software updates. Some in the technology industry see a coder’s GitHub activity as a proxy for a potential recruit’s productivity. So when Demir spotted a set of software projects that might need help, he figured he could pitch in while boosting his profile.
That’s when things got weird.
Demir discovered that a user named miraholt31 was trying to sneak a malicious update into one of the projects, a network scanning program called myNetwork. Demir took to the project’s message board to warn that the pull request was a trap.
“The PR contains a hidden malware dropper,” he said, according to the archived exchange.
The agent pushed back, falsely claiming — through its miraholt31 account — that the pull request was harmless. It also created a second account, masquerading as Lena Brandt, an engineer based in Germany, to agree that the update was clean and pressure myNetwork’s maintainer into accepting it.
Demir told Reuters that the counterarguments "made me second-guess whether I was wrongly accusing someone." But after turning to Anthropic's Claude chatbot to confirm his suspicions, he held firm. The creator of myNetwork eventually agreed with him, writing that they had rejected the update "for security reasons."
Reuters was unable to reach the creator for comment.
SUPPLY-CHAIN ATTACK
A supply-chain attack is when a piece of software is tampered with in the hope of compromising one or more of its users, and it is widely considered disturbing because, like poison dropped into a city reservoir, it can affect a potentially huge number of people downstream.
Many of the world’s most dramatic hacks were supply-chain attacks, including the NotPetya cyberattack that paralyzed institutions across Ukraine in 2017 and the SolarWinds-focused cyberespionage campaign that gave Russian spies sweeping access to U.S. government networks in 2020.
The consequences of such a compromise “can be extremely serious,” said Piergiorgio Ladisa, a security researcher who specializes in software supply-chain security. Ladisa noted there had been at least one previous attempt by hackers to trick an open-source maintainer into allowing malicious code into their projects.
“Autonomous agents could dramatically increase the scale at which such attempts can be conducted,” he said.
Demir said the experience left him more sympathetic to the idea that frontier labs needed to take a more cautious approach to the development of artificial intelligence.
[FOX] A founder of the Tea Party movement is heading a new nationwide campaign against AI data center expansion, arguing that tech corporations are encroaching on local communities and forcing residents to pay for the infrastructure against their will.
Amy Kremer, chairwoman of Humans First, said the nationwide bus tour, dubbed the "Data Center Revolt," will launch Sept. 12 in Austin, Texas, which she called the "battleground of the data center opposition movement." The tour will travel across the South and up the East Coast, stopping in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia before concluding in California's Silicon Valley.
Kremer, a veteran conservative organizer and Georgia Republican Party leader, told Fox News Digital she sees parallels between the anti-data center push and the early days of the Tea Party movement.
"The reason we're doing this tour is because we have seen over the past couple of years that Big Tech is trying to shove their technology, their AI technology, down our throats," Kremer told Fox News Digital. "The American people are very upset over the technology and the buildout. And so that's why we're doing this tour, to give people a voice, to stand with them and support them as they battle this in their local communities. And that's exactly what we did with the Tea Party movement."

There is something about all this data center hysteria that smells manufactured. The Greenies will need a new cause now that Climate Change is losing steam, but this feels bigger than that.
#4
The Leftist want control of any money making operation. If they do not have control; they destroy it. See tobacco vs marijuana. Fossil fuels vs green energy, home schooling vs public education….
typical operation employs from 50-300 people permanently
the taxation issue is too complicated for me to understand because there are tax breaks in early years to be made up over time and the tax rates vary wildly depending on jurisdiction, etc.
currently, data centers, in total draw less than 1% of the USA's total power needs, but of course, that is now. Also, most of the power comes from electricity generated (mostly by natural gas fueled plants) by the data center itself (as it takes quite a while to get a permit for electricity hookup for a big user)

Lord Garth's comment (#6) makes me think. So many data centers are running off their standby generators, until they get commercial power? But commercial power might be a long ways off, with permitting issues, fuel questions, and infrastructure nobody wants in their neighborhood.
So stand-alone power might work for a while, but for an indeterminate time? With those 'temporary' generators spewing those nasty pollutants? Wait'll the neighbors find out!
Seems like another reason for Musk's solar-powered orbital data centers. Only worry about all those microwaves frying your brain!

NEW YORK, Aug 20 (Reuters) - A handful of billionaires and companies are driving corporate spending in U.S. midterm elections this year, and they aren’t the usual power brokers who have sat atop the political food chain in Washington in previous decades.
Crypto companies, artificial intelligence firms and online betting have emerged as the biggest industries shaping the 2026 midterm races, driving a record amount of business spending on congressional contests, according to campaign finance watchdogs and interviews with more than a dozen political strategists from both parties.
The new money surging into U.S. politics comes from a fresh class of billionaires hailing from industries that barely existed a generation ago, occupying territory traditionally held by Wall Street, along with the pharmaceutical, oil and media industries, strategists from both parties say.
As lawmakers across the country press for more scrutiny and regulation of these industries, their founders are deploying their newfound wealth to win allies, shape rules and push back on those efforts.
U.S. companies have spent an unprecedented $517 million on the 2026 U.S. House and Senate races in the 15 months through the end of the first quarter, exceeding the record $461 million in corporate spending over two years for the 2024 elections, data compiled by corporate accountability nonprofit group Public Citizen shows.

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a memo to help drastically increase the number of U.S. commercial space launches, including directing government agencies to look at federal land for new launch and re-entry sites.
The White House wants to enable at least 1,000 launches and re-entries annually by 2030, up from 178 launches last year - a figure that is already 10 times higher than in 2013 and dominated by Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O)
The memo, focused on boosting the commercial space industry, called on agencies to incentivize co-development of space transportation infrastructure with private sector partners, expedite permitting and environmental reviews and ensure adequate wireless spectrum for space launches.
Trump also wants to return U.S. astronauts to the moon by 2028. The memo directs NASA to facilitate commercial transportation to the moon and commercial robotic access to Mars, and to explore commercial avenues to send humans to Mars.
White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios said the new national space transportation policy "meets this moment of explosive growth and positions America to lead the next era of space."
He said it calls for a "commercial-first approach enabling Americans on the Moon by 2028 and initial Moon Base elements by 2030, and rapid, resilient launch capabilities for national security."
Trump wants a new federal re-entry site identified within 90 days.
Trump also wants agencies to refrain from conducting U.S. government space transportation activities "that preclude, discourage, or compete with United States commercial space transportation activities, unless required by public safety or national security."
In May, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration said SpaceX aimed to reach 10,000 annual launches within five years.
BEIJING, Aug 21 (Reuters) - China is poised to launch Chang'e-7, its most technologically complex lunar mission to date, in its search for frozen stores of water in permanently shadowed craters near the moon's south pole.
The uncrewed mission, named after a mythical Chinese goddess of the moon, will feature the deployment of a robotic lander, rover, and "hopping" probe to one of the coldest places in the solar system.
It will represent a major step towards Beijing's long-term goal of building a permanent human presence on the moon, with plans underway for a crewed lunar landing before 2030 and the setting up of a joint research station with Russia by 2035.
[LittletonMA] This morning, at the request of Select Board Chairman, Gary Wilson, Littleton Police Department (LPD) accessed the Flock platform to verify status. It was discovered that five cameras on Littleton public ways had been reactivated by Flock Safety, with no notification to the town.
There is no data shared from Littleton cameras to other jurisdictions and at no time did LPD access any data gathered by the cameras in Littleton while they were powered. Select Board Chairman Wilson and the Select Board were notified and immediately requested LELD turn the breaker off to each camera.
As of this afternoon, LELD confirmed turning off the camera power.
Select Board Chairman Wilson and the Select Board then directed Town Counsel to initiate cancellation of the contract with Flock Safety and directed the Town Administrator to coordinate the removal of the six cameras on public ways with DPW.
