Snap general elections are scheduled to be held in Ecuador in August 2023. Current president Guillermo Lasso was eligible for a second term, however he declined to run. Overview. The officials elected — to both the executive and legislative branches — will serve out the remainder of the current presidential and legislative terms (2021–2025). A regular election for a full four-year term will happen in early 2025. Background. Originally scheduled for 2025, the general elections were moved forward earlier after President Lasso used the "muerte cruzada" measure which dissolved the National Assembly to avoid impeachment. Advancing to the 15 October run-off, Luisa González of the Citizen Revolution Movement came in first place, winning 33% of the vote with Daniel Noboa of the National Democratic Action coming in second place with 24% of the vote. Noboa's second-place finish was seen as surprising and an upset. Noboa ended up beating González with 52% of the votes in the runoff election, a similar result to that of Guillermo Lasso in 2021, making Noboa the President-elect of Ecuador. At 35 years old, he is the youngest president in the country's history.
The Somali diaspora describes Somalis who were born in Greater Somalia but have moved to other places. About 2,000,000 people from Somalia now live outside the country's borders. Many fled because of the civil war in Somalia. A terrible drought (the worst in 40 years), rising food prices, famine, and floods have led others to leave the country. A million Somalis fled their homes in the first five months of 2023 alone. Many of these people moved to Europe, North America, Southern Africa and Australia. However, as of 2023, 80% of Somali refugees - a total of 714,390 people - live in neighboring countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Yemen. Some people have lived in refugee camps in Kenya or Ethiopia for many years.  Many people have now settled in new countries, become citizens and had children.

Transitional governments were set up in 2000 and fighting was reduced until 2007. In 2006, Ethiopian troops invaded the south of the country and destroyed the newly formed Islamic Courts Union. Somali National Alliance and Al-Shabaab continued the fighting with a new Somali Civil War.

Statues of Our Lady of Danajon and Santo Niño were placed under water in Danajon Bank. Our Lady of Danajon refers to the Virgin Mary. Santo Niño means Holy Child, baby Jesus Christ. They were placed in 2010 to stop blast fishing, fishing using explosives. Danajon Bank is a double barrier reef, a rare type of reef. There are just six double barrier reefs in the world. Blast fishing was hurting the reef.  The government of Bien Unido, a municipality of Bohol in the Philippines, worked with a group called SeaKnights to place the statues near the reef. They hoped that the Catholicism of the fishermen would stop the blast fishing. The fishermen stopped using blast fishing so they wouldn't hurt the statues. This kept the reef safe.

Geoffrey Everest Hinton (born 6 December 1947) is a British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist. He is known for his work on artificial intelligence (AI). He has been called the "godfather of artificial intelligence". From 2013 to 2023, he worked for Google (Google Brain) and the University of Toronto. In May 2023, he left Google so that he could 'freely' talk about the risks of AI. Hinton received the 2018 Turing Award for his work on deep learning. Hinton was awarded with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with John Hopfield, becoming the first person to win both the Turing and Physics Nobel awards. Early life. Hinton was born in Wimbledon, London. He studied at Clifton College in Bristol and King's College, Cambridge. He originally studied natural sciences, history of art, and philosophy, but graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts in experimental psychology. He continued his study at the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded a PhD in artificial intelligence in 1978. Career. Hinton co-wrote a highly cited paper published in 1986 that made the backpropagation algorithm for training multi-layer neural networks popular.  Hinton's research focuses on using neural networks for machine learning, memory, perception, and symbol processing. He has written or co-written more than 200 peer reviewed publications. In 1985, Hinton co-invented Boltzmann machines with David Ackley and Terry Sejnowski. In May 2023, Hinton announced his resignation from Google to be able to "freely speak out about the risks of A.I." He has voiced concerns about deliberate misuse by malicious actors, technological unemployment, and existential risk from artificial general intelligence. He noted that establishing safety guidelines will require cooperation among those competing in use of AI in order to avoid the worst outcomes. Personal life. Hinton's second wife, Rosalind Zalin, died of ovarian cancer in 1994; his third wife, Jackie, died in September 2018, also of cancer. Hinton has two children. Hinton moved from the United States to Canada because he did not like the Ronald Reagan-era politics and military funding of artificial intelligence.
Taylor's bug-eyed frog, purple-spotted warted frog, spotty warted tree frog, stellar bug-eyed frog, or Chantaburi bug-eyed tree frog ("Theloderma stellatum") is a frog. It lives in Thailand and Cambodia. Scientists think it may also live in Myanmar. People have seen this frog in evergreen forests in low places and on mountains. For part of the year, these forests fill with water. The female frog lays eggs on the inside of a tree with water in it. She lays the eggs above the water. When they hatch, the tadpoles fall in.  People have seen this frog between 0 and 1500 meters above sea level. Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out, but it is in some danger because human beings change the places where it lives to get wood to build with and build farms. People also take away some trees to make safrole oil, even though this is against the law. Scientists also think that people may catch this frog to sell because it is so beautiful. Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks: Central Cardamoms Protected Forest, Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary, Khao Soi Daow Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Luttra Woman is a bog body that was found near Luttra, Sweden, on 20 May 1943. The body has been dated to the Early Neolithic period, of about 3800-3600 BC. In Swedish, the body is called Hallonflickan(), in Danish, she is called Hindbærpigen. Both names are translated as "Raspberry Girl." This name comes from the fact that when she was found, her stomach showed that raspberries had likely been her last meal. At the time of her death, she was a teenager, or a young adult. There are no traces of injuries or fatal diseases on her body. She was likely tied up before her death, and drowned on purpose. Axel Bagge, an archeolgoist who assisted in the first investigation, said that she had either been a human sacrifice, or she had been executed. Since 1994, her body has been on permanent display at a museum in Falköping. , she was the earliest-known Neolithic person from Western Sweden. Looking at the body. When experts looked at the body, they concluded that she must have been a pretty girl or young woman. She was was a little smaller than other women her age. She was tall. Other women of her age, in the region usualy were beteen and tall. In the area where her stomach must have been, a large number of raspberry seeds were found. In the stone age, there were no technologies that would allow to keep raspberries for a longer time period. For this reason, her death must have been in summer, likely in July or August. This makes her a special case, as the other bog bodies found in Sweden all died during the winter months. In the 1990s, scientists tried to determine her age. They found that she must have been at least eighteen years old, more likely 20-25 years. Radiocarbon dating found that the woman had died about 1000 years later than first thought, between 3105 and 2935 BC. When looking at the surrounding soil, remains of freshwater snails were found. Likely, the woman was drowned in open water
