# Operación Chef

Operación Chef is a Puerto Rican cooking show that airs on Telemundo Puerto Rico. The show started as a reality competition with several cooks competing for a top spot, with the winner receiving a contract for a cooking show in the channel.
The first winner of Operación Chef was Chef Enrique Piñeiro, who ended up hosting the show for three years afterward. After quitting in 2009, the producers made a second competition which was won by Chef Moisés Izquierdo. Chef Izquierdo hosted the show for little more than a year. In 2011, the producers announced they weren't renewing his contract.
The most recent installment of the show features five chefs offering their takes on different areas of cuisine throughout the week.

## History
### Operación Chef (2006)

The first competition of Operación Chef started in 2006 and lasted several weeks. Chef Enrique Piñeiro was chosen as the winner.

### Chef Piñeiro (2006-2009)

After winning the first competition of Operación Chef in 2006, Chef Enrique Piñeiro hosted the show until 2009. During his tenure, he popularized the use of basil, which was one of his favorite herbs. The show proved to be a success staying among the first two positions in the ratings on its time slot, during most of the years it was on air.
After three years, Piñeiro and producer Francisco Zamora couldn't reached an agreement during the renewal of the contract and Piñeiro left the show in August 2009. Piñeiro said about the situation: "Like in all businesses, things didn't work out; things didn't flow."
After Piñeiro's departure, the producers announced they would make a second competition to choose the new chef of the show.

### Second competition (2009)

The second competition of Operación Chef lasted 19 weeks. In November 2009, Chef Moisés Izquierdo was chosen as the winner after beating Chef Rafael "Thompson" Rodríguez.

### Chef Moisés (2009-2011)

After winning the second competition of Operación Chef in November 2009, Chef Moisés Izquierdo hosted the show until 2011. During his tenure, he coined popular phrases like "Bulla!".
Despite his apparent success with the audience, producers claimed that the ratings weren't as high as they were in previous seasons. In 2011, producer Francisco Zamora decided not to renew Izquierdo's contract. Zamora claimed the reasons were "changes in the channel trends and low numbers on ratings."

### Five Chefs (2011-present)

On March 11, 2011, Francisco Zamora announced the new format for Operación Chef. The new season, that started March 14, 2011, features five professional chefs each focusing on a different area of cuisine. The format will be:
| Weekday | Chef | Specialty |
| Monday | Yasiel Rodríguez | Healthy and organic food |
| Tuesday | Cynthia Negrón | Sauces |
| Wednesday | Edgardo Noel Rivera | Fruits and seafood |
| Thursday | Raquel Díaz | Pastry |
| Friday | Guillermo González | Tapas |

# Hansen Medical

Hansen Medical, Inc, headquartered in Mountain View, California, designs and manufactures medical robotics for positioning and control of catheter-based technologies that was founded in 2002 by Frederic Moll, M.D. to develop tools that manipulate catheters by combining robotic technology and computerized movement.
In 2005, Hansen bought EndoVia Medical Inc., a medical robotics company.
Later that year, Hansen Medical and Intuitive Surgical, another company founded by Moll, entered into a cross-licensing agreement that included Hansen's portfolio of 50 issued and pending patents and patent applications and Intuitive's 250 issued patents related to minimally invasive instruments and surgical robotics. The agreement gave Intuitive Surgical an equity stake in Hansen and royalties on the future sales of Hansen Medical products. The full financial terms of the agreement were not made public.
Hansen Medical went public in 2006, raising $75 million in its initial public offering with two catheter systems under FDA review. The shares represented about 30% of the company.
In July 2016 it was acquired by Auris Surgical Robotics, and it was said to be an $80 million merger.

# Mount Lyell shrew

The Mount Lyell shrew (Sorex lyelli) is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is named for Mount Lyell in Yosemite National Park, the area where the shrew has been most commonly found.

## Range

It is endemic to a small area of the Sierra Nevada in California, United States. The range is located in Fresno, Mariposa, Mono, and Tuolumne counties between an elevation of 2,100–3,630 metres (6,890–11,910 ft). It is typically found in sub-alpine riparian areas near fast-running streams.

## Description

The shrew is between 8.9 and 10 centimetres (3.5 and 3.9 in) long and weighs 4–5 grams (0.14–0.18 oz). It has 32 teeth.

## Observations

In November 2024 it was photographed alive for the first time, 100 years after its discovery, by a team of student researchers from the California Academy of Sciences. The team, consisting of Vishal Subramanyan, Prakrit Jain, and Harper Forbes, captured images of the elusive mammal in the Eastern Sierra Nevada.
In November 2024, researchers from UC Berkeley and the University of Arizona captured the first live photographs of the Mount Lyell shrew in its natural habitat, providing new insights into its ecology and distribution.$^{[1]}$
# Konami Kukeiha Club

Konami Kukeiha Club (コナミ矩形波倶楽部, konami kukeiha kurabu, lit. "Konami Square Wave Club", referring to square waves used in chiptunes in the 1980s) is Konami's sound team. It is often confused with 矩形波倶楽部 (Kukeiha Club), Konami's in-house band that has released albums consisting of their studio performances. They are primarily responsible for the sound and music in the majority of Konami video games. One of their best known works is the soundtrack to Gensō Suikoden — the majority of the material being composed by member Miki Higashino (Miki-Chan). Motoaki Furukawa (main arranger and guitarist) has been known to perform live with members not part of the in-house band, credited under "Konami Kukeiha Club". For example, disc 1 of the Konami All Stars: The Senryo-Bako Heisei 4 Nen Ban album (KICA-1053~55) is titled "Konami Kukeiha Club Live in Tōkyō."

# Tunitas Creek

Tunitas Creek is a 6.6-mile-long (10.6 km) stream in San Mateo County, California. Tunitas is Spanish for "little prickly pears".

## Course

The creek rises at an altitude of 1,860 feet (570 m) on Kings Mountain in the Santa Cruz Mountains and flows to the Pacific Ocean at Tunitas Creek Beach. An all-weather paved county road, Tunitas Creek Road, follows its course. Steelhead trout have been found in the creek.
Tunitas Creek Open Space Preserve, owned by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, encompasses approximately 2,200 acres (890 ha) along the creek.

## History

The first European land exploration of Alta California, the Spanish Portolà expedition, traveled along the coast on its way north, camping near today's San Gregorio, from October 24 to 26, 1769. On the return journey to San Diego, the party camped near Half Moon Bay on November 16, and at Tunitas Creek on November 17. Franciscan missionary Juan Crespi noted in his diary: "This morning broke very cloudy, and as soon as we started on our way it began to rain, and in the whole three leagues [about 7.8 miles (12.6 km)] that we traveled it was falling on us. We halted on the banks of a deep arroyo."
The name "Arroyo de Las Tunitas" appears on the diseños (claim maps) of both Rancho San Gregorio (1839) and Rancho Cañada Verde (1838) because it was part of the boundary between them.
Tunitas Creek Beach is enclosed by 100-foot (30 m) cliffs. The cliffs just north of the creek outflow were the site of "Gordon's Chute", a ramp for sliding farm goods from the top of the cliffs to ships anchored below. Constructed in 1872 by Alexander Gordon, the chute was destroyed by a storm in 1885; eyebolts remain in the cliff-face.
The beach was formerly private, with a house on the cliff top, and was owned from 1998 to 2017 by a trust of musician Chris Isaak. The property, comprising 58 acres (23 ha) was then purchased by the Peninsula Open Space Trust, who transferred it in 2020 to San Mateo County. In 2023, the county approved a project to create a public park, scheduled to open in 2024 after construction including creation of trails, parking, restrooms, and a ranger station.
