rWotD Episode 2686: Battle of the Pusan Perimeter Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 10 September 2024 is Battle of the Pusan Perimeter.The Battle of the Pusan Perimeter (Korean: 부산 교두보 전투), known in Korean as the Battle of the Naktong River Defense Line (Korean: 낙동강 방어선 전투), was a large-scale battle between United Nations Command (UN) and North Korean forces lasting from August 4 to September 18, 1950. It was one of the first major engagements of the Korean War. An army of 140,000 UN troops, having been pushed south to the brink of defeat, were rallied to make a final stand against the invading Korean People's Army (KPA), 98,000 men strong.UN forces, having been repeatedly defeated by the advancing KPA, were forced back to the "Pusan Perimeter", a 140-mile (230 km) defense line around an area on the southeastern tip of South Korea that included the port of Busan (then spelt Pusan). The UN troops, consisting mostly of forces from the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA), United States, and United Kingdom, mounted a last stand around the perimeter, fighting off repeated KPA attacks for six weeks as they were engaged around the cities of Taegu, Masan, and Pohang and the Naktong River. The massive KPA assaults were unsuccessful in forcing the UN troops back farther from the perimeter, despite two major pushes in August and September.North Korean troops, hampered by supply shortages and massive losses, continually staged attacks on UN forces in an attempt to penetrate the perimeter and collapse the line. The UN forces, however, used the port to amass an overwhelming advantage in troops, equipment, and logistics, and its navy and air forces remained unchallenged by the KPA during the fight. After six weeks, the KPA force collapsed and retreated in defeat after the UN force launched a counterattack at Inchon on September 15, and the UN forces in the perimeter broke out the following day. The battle was the farthest the KPA would advance in the war, as subsequent fighting ground the war into a stalemate.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:23 UTC on Tuesday, 10 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Battle of the Pusan Perimeter on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

Le bruit caractéristique du "pop" que fait le maïs soufflé lorsqu'il éclate résulte d'un ensemble de phénomènes physiques et chimiques. Pour comprendre ce processus, il est important de se pencher sur la structure et la composition du grain de maïs.Chaque grain de maïs soufflé (Zea mays everta) possède une enveloppe extérieure appelée péricarpe, composée de cellulose. Cette enveloppe est particulièrement dure et résistante à la pression. À l'intérieur du grain se trouve l'endosperme, constitué principalement d'amidon et d'eau.Lors de la cuisson, l'apport de chaleur provoque plusieurs changements à l'intérieur du grain :1. Chauffage et conversion de l'eau en vapeur : - La température augmente, atteignant progressivement 100 °C, ce qui fait que l'eau contenue dans l'endosperme se transforme en vapeur. La vapeur d'eau, en expansion, crée une pression interne croissante.2. Gélatinisation de l'amidon : - Sous l'effet de la chaleur et de la vapeur d'eau, les granules d'amidon absorbent l'eau, se ramollissent et se gélatinisent. Cette transformation rend l'endosperme plus malléable et permet à la pression de continuer à monter.3. Rupture du péricarpe : - La pression interne du grain peut atteindre environ 930 kPa (135 psi). Lorsque le péricarpe ne peut plus contenir cette pression croissante, il éclate brusquement. La rupture libère soudainement la vapeur d'eau et les particules d'amidon gélatinisées.4. Expansion rapide de l'amidon : - Une fois le péricarpe fissuré, l'amidon chaud, devenu pâteux, se dilate rapidement en raison de la baisse de pression. Ce processus d'expansion rapide produit le bruit distinctif du "pop" et donne au maïs soufflé sa forme aérienne et irrégulière.En résumé, le "pop" du maïs soufflé est un bruit produit par la soudaine libération de vapeur d'eau sous pression, qui entraîne l'explosion du péricarpe et l'expansion instantanée de l'amidon gélatinisé. Ce phénomène est un exemple fascinant de la transformation de l'énergie thermique en énergie mécanique, illustrant comment les propriétés physiques et chimiques du maïs permettent cette réaction spectaculaire.

NEWSREADER INTRO: This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Monday, August 5th. *) Israel's Netanyahu sets new demands on Gaza prisoner swap deal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has added new conditions to a proposed hostage swap deal with Hamas, including exiling around 150 Palestinian prisoners from the country, according to local media. Among the conditions is the deportation of some Palestinian prisoners who will be released from Israeli prisons to foreign countries, Israel's Channel 13 reported, citing unnamed sources. The US, Qatar, and Egypt have been trying to broker a prisoner exchange and ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but efforts have stalled due to Netanyahu's refusal to meet Hamas's demands to stop the war. *) Sirens blare as missiles, UAVs fired from Lebanon target northern Israel Missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles were reportedly launched from Lebanese territory into northern Israel, an Israeli official said. An official spokesperson for the Israeli army confirmed to Anadolu news agency that projectiles originated from Lebanon and targeted northern regions of Israel. The spokesperson refrained from providing details regarding any casualties or injuries resulting from the attacks. *) New violence kills scores in Bangladesh, students seek Hasina's resignation At least 93 people have been killed while hundreds of others injured across Bangladesh as students took to the streets demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, local media reported. The country's Prothom Alo daily reported that the people were killed in more than 15 districts as governing party armed groups swooped on protesters and opened fire. Authorities declared a three-day public holiday as people were killed in clashes between protesters on one side and police and governing Awami League party supporters on the other side. *) North Korea unveils 250 missile launchers, boosts nuclear readiness North Korean leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the delivery of a new tactical ballistic missile system to troops, state media reported. Kim also gave a speech at the ceremonial event in Pyongyang where 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers were unveiled. The launchers have been described by state media as a powerful up-to-date tactical attack weapon “personally designed by Kim and ready to be transferred to KPA units”. And finally… *) UK far-right protesters target Birmingham asylum hotel with projectiles A hotel known to have sheltered asylum seekers was targeted near the central English city of Birmingham, police said, as violent anti-immigration rallies led by far-right protesters shake parts of Britain. “A large group of individuals” have been “throwing projectiles, smashing windows, starting fires and targeting police” at the hotel in the town of Tamworth, with one officer injured, Staffordshire Police said in a statement. Riots first flared in Southport following a frenzied knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in the northwest coastal city, before spreading up and down England.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dave Maxwell discusses the importance of human rights upfront, influence campaigns, the pursuit of a free and unified Korea, resting on a foundation of deterrence and defense in the context of countering North Korea. Research Questions: Dave suggests technologies be developed which help Western governments access and penetrate North Korea. Also, he believes the potential succession in North Korea is an important research area, as well as mapping out the entire human terrain of key personalities and communicators. He also asks: how can we use defectors and escapees to help with the above research projects and bridge the North and the South. Finally, Dave thinks these “big 5” questions related to North Korea are important: What do we want to achieve in Korea? What is the acceptable durable political arrangement that will protect, serve, and advance US and ROK/US Alliance interests on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia? Who does Kim fear more: The US or the Korean people in the north? (Note it is the Korean people armed with information knowledge of life in South Korea) Do we believe that Kim Jong-un has abandoned the seven decades old strategy of subversion, coercion-extortion (blackmail diplomacy), and use of force to achieve unification dominated by the Guerrilla Dynasty and Gulag State in order to ensure the survival of the mafia like crime family cult known as Kim family regime? In support of that strategy do we believe that Kim Jong-un has abandoned the objective to split the ROK/US Alliance and get US forces off the peninsula?  Has KJU given up his divide to conquer strategy - divide the alliance to conquer the ROK?

It's Cyber Awareness Month and in this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck share their Number 1 hack for writing Cyber in bulk. Episode Highlights: David explains that Managed Services Providers "MSP's" are one of the areas where we have the ability to generate opportunities right now. (2:11) Kyle believes that there are a number of MSP's that assume they know more than everyone else just because they are IT professionals who understand how things operate and how to defend themselves. (3:36) Kyle shares his observation that several MSPs perform a variety of other things, such as installing security cameras, alarm systems, key fobs, and gate stuff. (6:45) David explains that KPA is significant because it has a certificate-tracking function, and utilizing a certificate as a lead source is important. (8:28) David mentions that we simply need to take a breather and look around to find opportunities to write new business. (13:06) David discusses that the number one hack for writing cyber in bulk is to review the master services agreement for managed services providers or anybody else and inform them that your risk management recommendation is that their clients have Cyber. (14:12) Tweetable Quotes: “People, if you're not using certificates as a lead source, you are missing the boat.” - David Carothers “We just got to stop and breathe and look around. If we do, we're going to find every opportunity we can to write new business, and that is it.” - David Carothers “Review the Master Services Agreement for Managed Services Providers or anybody else. Tell them that your risk management recommendation that their clients have cyber and sit back and let the leads roll in." - David Carothers Resources Mentioned: David Carothers Kyle Houck Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

Before bringing a new animal into your household, is your resident pet ready? In order to make the initial introduction and integration process go as smoothly as possible, one of the best things you can do is take a long, hard look at the pet(s) you already have! Doing the prep work before bringing a new pet into the mix will set everyone up for success. Caroline Mattioli, KPA-CTP joins Naomi to talk about how she introduced her resident dog Onyx to Jack the kitten and Tiki the Chihuahua. She details how knowing Onyx's history, personality, and behaviors helped her implement the right training, management, and setups for her particular combination of pets. Listen in to hear Caroline's insights and step-by-step approach to laying the groundwork before bringing a new pet home.

Last week, roughly 5,000 liver community stakeholders gathered in London for the 2022 International Liver Congress (#ILC2022,) the first major hepatology Congress to be held in person since the start of the pandemic (smaller, but very valuable, meetings like NASH-TAG, LiverCONNECT and Paris NASH have taken place with an in-person component, but the International Liver Congress and The Liver Meeting have not). On the last full day of the program, several vitally important drug development studies were presented during the late-breaker and dedicated sessions. The conversations in this episode will review some of the most important findings. This particular conversation discusses two presentations on resmetirom, the late-breaker safety results (and some preliminary, secondary efficacy markets) from the Phase 3 MAESTRO NAFLD-1 trial, and a separate study looking at 180 cirrhotic patients in the open-label cohort of MAESTRO.MAESTRO NAFLD-1 was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 80 or 100 milligrams of resmetirom versus placebo, with close to 1,200 patients in these three cohorts. There was a fourth 100mg open-label cohort as well, with 180 cirrhotic patients among the trial population. For MAESTRO NAFLD-1, the primary endpoint was safety. In addition, there were several key secondary endpoints, including pathogenic lipids, and certain MRI characteristics, along with FibroScan (both KAP and KPA). To primary author Harrison, the "take-home point" from this study was "there was no bad news from MAESTRO NAFLD-1, and it did meet its primary endpoint with all the key secondary endpoints under hierarchical control having statistical significance as well. One more interesting point from this presentation. Because the study was fielded during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients in the three closed-label arms missed an average of two months of doses due to pandemic-related logistical challenges. Despite this, the secondary endpoints demonstrated efficacy, although some demonstrated reduced efficacy compared to what we would expect from a full course of therapy.Stephen then shares significant data from the first 105 patients in the open-label cirrhosis group. Without going into detail, the "take-home point" here is that "in addition to the safety and tolerability... we were moving noninvasive tests in a way that made us feel like something positive was happening relative to maybe some early portal hypotensive changes." Stephen notes the caveat that the researchers performed neither endoscopy nor HPG measurements in this population.

Next week, >10,000 Fatty Liver stakeholders are expected to journey to London (rail strike and all) for the International Liver Congress (#ILC2022), the first meeting at this level since the pandemic started to include an in-person attendance option. This week, NASH Tsunami identifies some of the most important and intriguing non-embargoed presentations at #ILC2022. This conversation explores two of these: OS097, Machine learning algorithms identify novel biomarker combinations for NAFLD, from Jenny Lee (Netherlands); and FRI094, Clinical and economic evaluation of community-based preventative screening strategies for NAFLD in people with Type-2 diabetes melllitus, from Roberta Forlano (UK).Jörn Schattenberg selected OS097 as the first paper for the Surfers to discuss due to its robust dataset (720 liver-biopsied patients recruited prospectively at centers across Europe; 53% with NASH, 26% with advanced fibrosis and 7% with cirrhosis.) and intriguing task (identify the most robust biomarkers for predicting levels of steatosis, ballooning, inflammation and fibrosis independently). The AUCs for fibrosis were robust (0.90 in the test group and 0.84 in the validation set), while the AUCs for the steatosis measures were weaker (0.79 and 0.74, respectively.) Jörn notes that the histological markers vary between the four targets, with steatosis and ballooning predicted most strongly by BMI, inflammation by hemoglobin and fibrosis by VCTE. After questions, Jörn goes on to note that the CK-18 M 30 emerges as a predictor for both steatosis and fibrosis.The key question comes from Stephen, who asks how diabetes came into this equation in terms of metric, severity and length of disease. Jörn states that the only diabetes metric in the set was A1c, which was the 5th strongest for fibrosis. He also notes that length of disease is exceptionally challenging to determine in a study that relies on patient self-reports.Louise Campbell responds next, selecting FRI094, a clinical and economic assessment of community-based screening of Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients for Fatty Liver disease. This study began at Imperial while Louise still worked there. The study reported 17% of NAFLD patients with "significant" fibrosis (kPa>8.1 by VCTE), 11% had advanced fibrosis and 3% had cirrhosis (defined as kPa >12,1 by VCTE.) Any of these patients might have been defined by clinical, radiological or histological means.After questions, Louise would go on to note that all approaches were determine to be cost effective against a metric of 20,000 English pounds.Again, the pivotal question came from Stephen, who suggested that a kPa of 12.1 (the definition of cirrhosis here) would fit half of his practice. He used this point to remind listeners of the poor positive predictive value of VCTE as a single measure.When Stephen and Louise finish this point, Louise notes the positive recommendation on cost-effectivesness of community screening while acknowledging the issue around scoring of cirrhosis. Jörn then closes the discussion of this paper (and the conversation) by agreeing with Stephen's comment on the VCTE kPa and cirrhosis, but noting that the high levels indicate a serious challenge (even if not a level of cirrhosis).

In this episode of The Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and co-host Kyle Houck talk about fleet safety and how beneficial it is for sales. They also discuss mirroring and labeling prospects. Episode Highlights: David explains why he would always try and use the carrier for fleet safety.

(7:17) David talks about investing in training programs and email automation when starting up. (9:24) Kyle explains that the nice thing about using KPA or Mineral is that the reports are pushed out to the employees and it helps with monitoring and accountability. (11:05) David shares about a call that he had with someone in a Killing Commercial. (12:16) David explains about mirroring and labeling somebody as a prospect and what you should sound like. (16:35) David explains that agents see KPA or Mineral as a way to get business and not as a way to keep it. (17:49) Tweetable Quotes: "I think that the thing that's really nice about using KPA or Mineral or really, you know, other ones that are out there is that it pushes it out to the employees, quarterly or monthly." - Kyle Houck "When you're mirroring and labelling somebody as a prospect, you always want to say, it sounds like, it feels like, it seems like. Not, I'm hearing, I'm feeling or whatever. Because the second you put “I” into the conversation, it becomes selfish and about you and not about them." - David Carothers Resources Mentioned: David Carothers Kyle Houck Florida Risk Partners The Extra 2 Minutes

After humble beginnings with Bob Bailey's chicken camps, Scotti Harvey has spent the last 15 years as a committed educator of applied animal behavior and learning science. Scotti is a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy, a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, a Puppy Start Right Instructor and Fear Free Trainer, a City and Guilds Scent Detection Dog Handler, UKCSD Scent Instructor and the founder of the animal training and consulting service, Why Runamuck. Scotti's expertise is in the impact of early-life learning on later-life behavior. She has studied with trainers and behaviorists like Terry Ryan, Ken Ramirez, Susan Friedman, and Steve Martin, and she has attended a variety of national and international workshops and courses, like the University of Edinburgh's Animal Welfare Course, Dr. Susan Friedman's Learning and Living With Animals, the Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor's Course, the NEI's Contemporary Animal Training and Management program, Ken Ramirez's Advanced Animal Training, and Marie Fogelquist's Polar Bear Training at Orsa Bjornpark.  In 2014, Scotti participated in a collaborative training project between KPA and Guide Dogs for the Blind that sought new and innovative ways to incorporate positive training protocols into their puppy-raising curriculum. Scotti herself is a longtime breeder of Icelandic sheepdogs, and she has studied and observed 13 litters of puppies, learning from them while exploring avenues to mitigate behavioral issues through carefully crafted and deconstructed early-life experiences.  Scotti spends most of her professional life helping canine co-habitators navigate the hiccups and tricky bits of living alongside another species, as well as collaborating with canine caregivers—breeders, fosters, shelter workers, and veterinarians—to identify ways to improve puppy rearing strategies. She is currently writing a book on those early socialization strategies and the deconstruction of puppy exposures.
