Blended artificial intelligence. Blended artificial intelligence (blended AI) refers to the blending of different artificial intelligence techniques or approaches to achieve more robust and practical solutions. It involves integrating multiple AI models, algorithms, and technologies to leverage their respective strengths and compensate for their weaknesses.

Background 
In the context of machine learning, blended AI can involve using different types of models, such as generative AI, decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines. By combining their results, predictions are more accurate and reliable. This blending of models can be done through techniques like ensemble learning, where multiple models are trained independently and their predictions are combined to make a final decision.

Blended AI can also involve combining different AI techniques or technologies, such as natural language processing, computer vision, and expert systems, to tackle complex problems that require a multi-dimensional approach. For example, in a sales scenario AI could be used for lead generation and gathering information from social media such as LinkedIn posts, or understanding a prospect's hobbies and interests. Another blended AI could achieve customer profiling including past interactions and purchasing habits, by them, their industry and growth areas.

Blended AI could be used to do predictive analytics to look at historical sales data, market trends, and external factors to generate accurate sales forecasts. This method is critical to gauge and increase "efficiency, revenue, and productivity". Lastly,  another could integrate all the information into the CRM to build and maintain better prospect and customer profiles. Blended AI aims to leverage the strengths of different AI techniques and technologies, allowing them to complement each other and create more powerful and comprehensive AI solutions. By combining multiple approaches, blended AI aims to achieve better performance, higher accuracy, improved robustness, and enhanced capabilities in solving diverse and challenging problems.

MRT Line 5. The MRT Line 5 (, romanised: Em-Ar-Ti Lain Pachh) is an approved mass rapid transit line of Dhaka Metro Rail. It will be the third line of the Dhaka Metro Rail system. This line comprises Northern Route and Southern Route. The construction of the MRT Line 5's Northern Route began in 5  November 2023 and is scheduled to commence operation by 2028.

Background
In 2005, the World Bank published a study report, recommending that the government of Bangladesh build a mass transit system in Dhaka. In the same year, American consultancy firm Louis Berger Group prepared a strategic transport plan for Dhaka. The World Bank helped to develop this plan, which proposed the construction of five MRT lines in Dhaka. The five metro lines were MRT Line 1, MRT Line 2, MRT Line 4, MRT Line 5 and MRT Line 6.

Stations

Northern Route

The construction of the Northern Route of the MRT Line 5 will start in July 2023 and will end by 2028.

Southern Route

The Southern Route of MRT Line 5 is still in the planning stages. There may be changes to the list of stations, including adding new stations, assigning different names to the stations or some stations getting eliminated from the line. Hence, the list of stations is not final and may be updated in the future.

Lanthanum acetylacetonate. Lanthanum acetylacetonate refers to the coordination complex with the formula .  This anhydrous acetylacetonate complex has not been characterized well, but the dihydrate   has been characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Upon heating under vacuum, the dihydrate converts to the oxo-cluster .  This behavior is also observed for erbium, yttrium, gadolinium, and europium.

The instability constants (logYn) are 3.65, 5.13 and 6.12 (corresponding to n=1, 2, 3) have been reported for "La(acac)3". It can be prepared by the reaction of lanthanum alkoxide and acetylacetone. Its tetrahydrate decomposes into monohydrate at 110 °C, obtains the anhydrous form at 150 °C, undergoes La(CH3COO)(acac)2 and La(CH3COO)2(acac), and at 180~285 °C lanthanum acetate is produced. It can be used to prepare NaLaS2, La2Zr2O7 and other materials.

Atlantic Core Network Corridor. The Atlantic Core Network Corridor or simply Atlantic Corridor is a European initiative developed from the Trans-European Transport Network to create a high capacity railway and road corridor connecting Portugal, Spain and France, and later extended to Germany as well. When it's finished, the Iberian branch is planned to become one of the main transport networks of the Peninsula, alongside the Mediterranean Corridor, and, in general, it has been said to be "fundamental for European cohesion". It will include the following sections:

 Algeciras – Bobadilla – Madrid
 Sines/Lisboa – Madrid – Valladolid
 Lisboa – Aveiro – Leixões/Porto
 Aveiro – Valladolid – Vitoria – Bergara – Bilbao/Bordeaux – Paris – Le Havre/Metz – Mannheim/Strasbourg

Status
Progress varies from region to region. In Portugal, for example, the planned railway infrastructures were included in the Ferrovia 2020 initiative, presented in 2016. However, by the end of 2022, only 15% of the construction had been finished. In Basque Country, the so called Basque Y (named after the region it crosses and the shape it has) is expected to be completed and operational by 2030, but the connection from the French side has been postponed and is not planned to be finished until after 2037.
