The utility of rights depends on who is using them, under what circumstances, and to what end.…”

Capitol, just visitors from across the country taking in the iconic sights with an air of menacing joy. On the House floor, they rummaged through Members' desks and play-acted in the Speaker's chair. It was here that much of the world met the "shaman." Wearing a horned hat and a shit-eating grin, he was an online influencer among followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory. NORDDEUTSCHE NEUESTE NACHRICHTEN (Germany) Trump-Fans Stürmen KapitolThe convergence between these different styles of protest and different sets of protestors, if that is the word, was perhaps the most confusing element of all. Men in black, zip ties in hand, moved quietly among rowdy revelers on the House floor as they searched for elected officials to forcibly detain. The crowd's chants ranged from "Stop the Steal" to "Hang Mike Pence," and a noose on the Capitol lawn underlined the point. What emerged in the spectacle of that day was a coalition of groups united in the conviction that Donald Trump remained U.S. President, and that any means were justified in pursuit of that conviction. STRAITS TIMES (Singapore) Chinese media and netizens mock "beautiful sight" of US Capitol chaosIntertwined with the militias, white supremacists, and conspiracy theorists, that coalition included several different strands of mostly but not exclusively white conservatives. They were Christian nationalists and libertarians, rural farmers and suburban business-owners. FOREIGN POLICY The Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Aren't Who You Think They AreAnd they were police. Almost thirty off-duty officers from a dozen nationwide departments were identified as attending the pro-Trump rally that morning, and some were charged with participating in the subsequent assault. The Capitol Police suspended a half-dozen of its own officers and investigated several more for their actions that day. This overlap between law enforcement and militia movements was not new, but its implications were now bracingly clear. LE FIGARO (Paris) Démocratie fracturéeThe hard truth is that this was less an assault on legality itself than a battle between competing legalities. Despite all its violence -through all its violence -the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was an attempt at what scholars of authoritarian legality call "rule by law," in which legal processes and institutions are used to instantiate and legitimize authoritarian rule. The assault intended to reconfigure a legal process, and its strategy was undergirded by legal

Dengue fever, caused by the Dengue virus (DENV), is a mosquito-borne disease that poses a significant public health threat in many parts of the world. The primary vector for dengue transmission in Tamil Nadu is the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which exhibits anthropophilic behavior and prefers breeding in stagnant water in residential areas. This research paper focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of using ovitraps, modified with locally available materials, for Aedes aegypti control in Chennai through community participation. Five sampling locations within Chennai were selected for the surveillance study (K.K. Nagar, Nesapakkam, J.B.A.S College, Triplicane and Royapettah). Ovitraps of 5 different colors, such as black, blue, red, orange, and white were used. The egg counts varied across different locations, time periods and different coloured ovitraps. Nesapakkam area exhibited the highest egg counts, suggesting the presence of factors such as poor sanitation and drainage that promote mosquito breeding. The results of the study showed that the highest number of Aedes aegypti eggs was collected during the months of February-March, indicating increased mosquito breeding activity during the dry season. The study also found that black and blue ovitraps yielded the highest number of eggs, while red, orange, and white ovitraps had lower counts. These findings highlight the potential effectiveness of color-coded ovitraps in capturing mosquito eggs and suggest the importance of seasonal monitoring and targeted vector control efforts. To protect the public from dengue/DHF, large-scale dengue prevention can be implemented by combining this system with other routine prevention measures. This will enable individuals to integrate and learn more about the effective control of dengue vectors.

“…According to global consulting firm Kearney and Singapore-based global investor EDBI, Singapore ranked 1st among Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries in investments in AI solutions at $68 per capita in 2019. 39 Though lagging behind the United States' $155 investments per capita, Singapore was the region's clear standout with investments dwarfing Thailand's $0.37 and Indonesia's $0.20 investments per capita. Singapore also ranked 1st as the most attractive destination for AI and robotics investors in 2018, performing particularly well in semiconductors and electronic equipment investment among 71 surveyed cities (it should be noted that in some instances, Singapore is ranked and evaluated as a city, and other times as a country, as seen in the above comparison).…”

Despite being a small city-state, Singapore’s star continues to rise as an artificial intelligence hub presenting significant opportunities for international collaboration. Initiatives such as fast-tracking patent approval, incentivizing private investment, and addressing talent shortfalls are making the country a rapidly growing global AI hub. Such initiatives offer potential models for those seeking to leverage the technology and opportunities for collaboration in AI education and talent exchanges, research and development, and governance. The United States and Singapore share similar goals regarding the development and use of trusted and responsible AI and should continue to foster greater collaboration among public and private sector entities.
