We are heading into severe weather season in the US soon (and by soon I mean tomorrow) (disclaimer, this is all general advice. pay attention to the official weather sources in your area for alerts and important information. I am not an expert, weather info is just a hobby for me.)

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS) has (for now anyways) the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) which is a great source of information to stay weather aware.

The SPC puts out Convective Outlooks. These show where thunderstorms and severe weather have the potential to pop up. (With temperatures warming up, the movement of warm air leads to convection in the atmosphere which results in thunderstorms and sometimes severe weather. There is a good blog post going into more detail here)

Specifically, the outlooks are:

Day 1 Outlook (today and early tomorrow morning)

Day 2 Outlook (the next 24 hours following early tomorrow morning)

Day 3 Outlook (the next 24 hours)

Day 4-8 Outlook (the next days, but these are never too certain due to the way the models work)

These outlooks are timestamped with Zulu time aka Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You can see how that compares to your local timezone here.

Today (3/13/25), the weather outlook is okay, just a slight risk of thunderstorms across the US. However, Friday (3/14/25) and Saturday (3/15/25) both have a widespread risk of severe weather including strong winds and tornadoes.

If you are in any of these colored regions, stay weather aware! Now, this doesn't mean you have to panic, but keep an eye on the weather reports in your area!

I tend to check the SPC in the morning so I know when I have to really be paying attention to the weather for the day/coming days.

Below is more info on the color coding which you can read more about here. (In addition here is a powerpoint from the NWS with more information "12 Things You Need to Know: Severe Weather Outlooks")

Tips on staying weather aware, it's important to have access to several weather sources.

Check the SPC for updates!

Find your closest NWS Forecast Office via zip code on weather.gov

Keep an eye on the local news and local weather reports

Consider getting a weather radio! (info here from NWS) This is good for if you lose power/internet as you can check the automated radio stations near you

Check the radar (I use the radarscope app) but you can check online with websites like radar.weather.gov or wunderground.com

What to do During a Tornado (via NWS):

Stay Weather-Ready: Continue to listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay updated about tornado watches and warnings.

At Your House: If you are in a tornado warning, go to your basement, safe room, or an interior room away from windows. Don't forget pets if time allows.

At Your Workplace or School: Follow your tornado drill and proceed to your tornado shelter location quickly and calmly. Stay away from windows and do not go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, or auditoriums.

Outside: Seek shelter inside a sturdy building immediately if a tornado is approaching. Sheds and storage facilities are not safe. Neither is a mobile home or tent.  If you have time, get to a safe building.

In a vehicle: Being in a vehicle during a tornado is not safe. The best course of action is to drive to the closest shelter. If you are unable to make it to a safe shelter, either get down in your car and cover your head, or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low lying area such as a ditch or ravine.

NOAA and NWS are under threat from everything going on right now. (Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts.) They provide vital services and do very important research about our weather and climate. While 5calls.org does not currently have a template centered on NOAA/NWS, they have similar ones that you could reference, modify, and use. (I have modified one below that you might consider using.) (5calls.org also has other very important scripts that you might use for other issues.) Please consider calling your representatives and telling them how important weather information is to everybody and that they should be protecting it, not defunding it. Not only for severe weather, but for climate change research and more.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling to demand that [REP/SEN NAME] oppose any legislation, or efforts by the executive branch to dismantle or abolish the National Weather Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The recent reduction in staff is unacceptable, and will put Americans' lives and property at risk to severe weather. Reduced warning capabilities will put lives at risk and could potentially make response and recovery more hazardous and more expensive. Thank you for your time and consideration. IF LEAVING VOICEMAIL: Please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.

While this is geared towards the US, a lot of this information can be applied via resources specific to your country. And finally, to quote Ryan Hall, Don't be Scared, Be Prepared.

very funny to see people being all "why do we need smart tvs to replace the functionality of the devices plugged into them". buddy most people don't plug in shit to their tvs anymore because they are smart tvs lol. if you don't want a smart tv you just buy a big monitor! and if you think they don't make ones big enough for your tastes than you're just going to have to remember to look for "commercial/industrial displays" cuz that's what the product segment tends to get called.

like yes yes you, me, we have like some game consoles and maybe even a dedicated media player of some sort plugged in. but lots of people don't even have a cable/satellite box anymore. lots of people no longer have a dedicated media player. and for game consoles a lot of people find using the media player/web browser features (if present) a pain to use when they could just use a tv remote.

like really the fundamental thing at work here is that a modern TV, capable of handling high definition content, let alone 4k content, it needs substantial processing power to handle speaking HDMI to connected devices, to handle upscaling (and if neccesary downscaling) to the actual panel resolution from sources, this is all shit that means you have to put a reasonable smartphone's level of processing power into the device already.

you really might as well just make the damn thing run a phone os anyway or sometimes just a generic linux OS customized to the task, which is why most of them do, sometimes ones that have been long dead. you get your android TVs and your tizen (samsung origin linux) TVs and your WebOS TVs (ain't it crazy how WebOS has lived far longer as an appliance OS than it ever did for mobile devices??) or roku os (roku origin linux) etc. and people love this, they love not having to have the other device to do the things they wanted to do anyway! that's kind of the most important bit.

A New Ocean Is Forming in Africa

Now you can send drone technology through lava navigating deep inside of these lava flows. Now the technology you need to communicate back and forth is neutron messaging.

Scientists send encoded message through rock via neutrino beam

Mar 14, 2012 · Scientists have for decades contemplated communicating across long

So actually, now we can start communicating directly through the earth!!! So we can stand on one side of the earth and send a message directly through the core of the earth and out the other side, and that person can receive the message.... so instead of going into space, we can keep messaging within the planet... oh, instead of our stuff going out into the universe, our stuff would go through the earth and come out the other side connecting directly to that person...

That's right, as Live Science puts it: "For the first time, scientists have used neutrinos — the exotic fundamental particles that routinely pass right through Earth — to send a message through the ground." Now, we're a long way from being able to send a note to someone on the other side of the world through the world.Mar 15, 2012

https://www.npr.org › 2012/03/15

First Neutrino Message Sent Through Rock; Could

But to make this happen, we have to use low energy neutrons, high energy neutrons can get trapped in the earth.

About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second. Now, scientists have demonstrated that the Earth stops energetic neutrinos—they do not go through everything.

So remember, we're sending neutrons in a communication, so we already have the ability to generate them, send them and receive them!

They come straight through the earth at nearly the speed of light, all the time, day and night, in enormous numbers. About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through our bodies every second. The problem for physicists is that neutrinos are impossible to see and difficult to detect.

So this means, we can send direct communication through the earth at the speed of light...

Radio waves and mobile phone signals relies on electromagnetic radiation for communication but in a new development, engineers from Lancaster University in the UK, working with the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, transferred digitally encoded information using "fast neutrons" instead.

So this means we can send drone technology as deep as we want into the Earth and stay in communication with it. This also means we can send communication right through the moon. Out the other side of the moon, and we can send communication through the universe through planets directly and out the other side of planets!!! This means not even planetary bodies will affect our ability. If we have a satellite on one side of the planet and a satellite on another side of the planet, they can communicate to themselves, keeping them in perfect alignment as they rotate around there earth.. By communicating right through the Earth, no more need to bounce things. Offer satellites around the Earth. The satellites google communicate to and from each other through the earth itself. That also means we can run a drone from one side of the planet and communicate with it. On another side of the planet, right through the earth.... so that means we can see and send vehicles deep through lava flow and see what's going on inside the lava inside the earth..

Now, here is the material you would build the drum from that can penetrate deep into the earth... But this means we can communicate in minds with drones and workers. Deep inside mine, shafts or caves or controlled equipment that is deep inside the earth without having communication issues. 🤔 and also, if you use different energy levels of neutrino particles, you can use this define different mineral deposits with inside the earth... Because as it says, higher neutrino levels get stuck higher energy. So you're trying to figure out bouncing them for the inner elements of the earth, and this might help us be able to further analyze the interior of the earth accurately, an interior of other planets, including the moon accurately...

ASHTAR SHERAN – BE CAREFUL OF FALSE MESSAGES.

Greetings Emanuel and Pastor, this is Commander Ashtar Sheran, Unverential Peace. This afternoon I wanted to clarify this message that is circulating on the networks, announcing events that will happen in 72 hours. Announcement of the Event that will take place in the next few days.

We always told everyone to look inside their own heart, to look there when they see a message. When you read a message on the networks, subject it to the scrutiny of your heart, if you vibrate it, if you feel it. Listen if this message is authentic, or if it's a non vibrating message, it's not true.

I tell you that among the strategies used by the dark forces is also the one to confuse, creating disappointment and fear in the population, in front of the event.

I tell you, my dear ones, that no one should fear, in case it happens. Like they said, it hasn't been 72 hours, we had no information about it. I haven't made any statements about this.

We have always said that, through Emanuel and Pastora, we will give official information about the program and the whole event. I’m saying unto you my beloved, don’t be confused. That's why I tell you, when you read a message, if it calls you to fear or fear, put it through the careful examination of your heart, there will be the truth.

We've always told them they will be informed internally. In the last few days there has been some solar activity. This was already planned. Father Mother had already announced it months ago. Several interlocutors from this side of the veil have also provided information about this. If the event speeds up these days, it’s unlikely.

Yes, there is a very intense solar activity, but not of such an entity to be called and classified as an event. They are previous activities that come gradually to prepare the souls, beings, to raise their vibration, to integrate into their I Am.

Don't take information that makes you afraid. We will warn them, yes, they will hear and their Self will know that it is time and they will hear.

Remember that before the big event there will be the declassification of all the information and the galactic announcement will come, which didn’t happen. All the information will be made public, boats from different families will also be shown and this has not happened yet. So watch the signs, read the signs.

Do not enter that circle in which even the dark forces try to sow fear, because they could not do it with other means. They have abandoned the blessed plan of the supposed Demia plan. All these actions have already taken place, they have tried to bring humanity back to the same situation as years ago, this one has no value anymore. They experienced wars and this one had no impact either. It's not time for war, nor is it time for a demise plan, nor is it a time for any negative activity on humanity.

These forces have already left the planet. We understand that there are still those who remain in human bodies, submerged, attracted, conditioned to act in favor of dark forces. Yet they continue to implant humanity, damaging its auric field, damaging its electromagnetic network, its body, implanting it with microchips to keep them under their control.

They continue to implant prototypes of negative energy that they themselves produce in their laboratories, and this through satellite signals, as we mentioned in the previous messages, through the Internet, 5G mobile phones and all those communication signals on TV, which humanity uses a lot, just as the use of energy is now widespread cell phones, computers, digital TVs, smartphones, everything.

In addition to keeping them monitored, supervised, they also take advantage of it to implement them.

Beloved, as I told you, we are installing the entire infrastructure of the light satellites, so that this way of continuing to control and manipulate humanity ends. They are so desperate that they already know what they have left are these disastrous strategies to continue to oppress humanity.

I tell all beings of light to stay alert and protected, very protected, because they will hear strong echoes as a result of all these strong implants that are made to them, through communication systems.

Fear not, everyone will be warned. It will come when it has to come. Pay attention to Emanuel and Pastora information, they are authorized and have information directly from us, the Hierarchy and the Source.

Remember that even the forces of darkness are looking for many noble conduiters. But they deceive them, they send messages pretending to be us, just to sow fear and terror among all inhabitants, among all beings.

We always tell them: stay connected, stay calm, stay composed. As the Father said, these days of the year are left, and even the next year of your calendar starts with great strength, with great energy.

We’re also waiting, my dears, because we also don’t know the date when this result will take place, but we know that everything is very close. We know because we manage energy at planetary level and solar system level and we understand how it flows, so we know it is very close.

Who gives you a date, who tells you that day, that hour, that date or that month is not correct. There will be situations in which you will know that the great solar flash is coming, which we desperately need for all the children of Father and Mother, so that they can integrate into their divinity.

All this energy that has entered all these portals, the last one since the solstice which has been quite intense, helps with reconfiguration, recalibration of the bodies and DNA of all humans.

Be peace, be love, be calm, because the anxiety of fear is the weapons of the enemy. Dress in light, dress in peace, dress in love and wait tied to your heart, there you will be informed and through our official interlocutors, every news will be transmitted to you by this means. Silence.

I salute you with absolute love. I am commander ashtar sheran.

Inverential peace, blessings to all.

Fic Prompts: Snippet Monday

A short scene that doesn't have a story to go with, and is therefore free to incorporate into just about whatever.

Viper

"-look, all I'm saying is we need a break!"

Damas paused to listen to the voices floating up from the elevator shaft. Ah. He'd been beginning to wonder when, exactly, the boys had been planning to turn in their report on the sandstorm evacuation. He stifled a smile and went back to watering the date palms nearest the window as he listened to them arguing.

"A break? Dax, just being here is a break!"

"...you've been out in the sun too long, pal. You seem to have forgotten the life-threatening nonsense these people keep putting us through!"

Jak's laugh grew louder as the elevator rose higher. "So? We have entire days where we don't have to go anywhere or do anything! And we get to go wherever we want! C'mon, Dax, you can't possibly tell me this place isn't like a vacation compared to Haven."

The elevator locked into place and Jak ambled out, looking perfectly at home amid the artificial streams. He lifted a hand in irreverent greeting when he spotted Damas, and made his way across the stepping stones. And if he seemed to be making a game of skipping every other stone, well, Damas wouldn't tell anyone.

"All scouts accounted for!" Jak announced cheerfully as he landed on the last stone, right at the foot of the dais. "Oh hey, the Crawler's making some weird noises though. I think you should have Kleiver do some maintenance on it."

Damas raised a brow. "Hm. A mobile sandstorm shelter won't do us much good if it breaks down. I'll make a note of it."

He set down the pitcher he had been using to water the tree and made his way back to his throne, looking for one of the data recording devices he kept to hand.

"I don't have any other work for you at the moment. If you can find a way to amuse yourselves that doesn't involve violent destruction of private property, the rest of the afternoon is yours to spend as you wish."

Daxter snapped his fingers in a pretense of disappointment. "Darn, well, that rules out all your plans, doesn't it, Jak?"

"Swimming doesn't destroy private property," Jak suggested, bouncing his shoulder.

"Not during a storm," Damas cut in. "I don't want to hear that someone had to take a boat out there and haul you out of a rip current."

Jak was about to argue when he felt Daxter go rigid on his shoulder. Following Damas’s surprised gaze, he found his friend squinting around the room. His ears swiveled and rotated like satellites, as if trying to catch a specific sound.

"Dax? What's wrong?"

"Say, uh, Jak?" Daxter piped up nervously, "Anyone else hear hissing?"

Hissing? Jak frowned and scanned the room, wondering what his friend was hearing. As his eyes swept across the dais, something caught his attention. It wasn’t that noticeable, just the barest hint of motion. But when Jak reached for just a hint of dark eco, suffusing his sclera in darkness, it stood out as clear as lightning.

Instinct took over and Jak had a knife out of his boot before he could even process what he was seeing. In an instant he'd hurled the dagger at the throne, just missing Damas’s calf.

"Jak!" Damas snapped, "Watch it!"

With a pained squeal, something began to thrash beside his foot. Pinned to the leg of the throne by Jak's knife was a massive snake. A Dust Demon viper, slowly losing its camouflage as death throes sent it thrashing in pain.

Damas examined the creature impassively, then slammed down his boot, putting it out of its misery.

"I thought something felt different," he remarked, entirely too calmly. "Next time, aim for the head for a cleaner kill. There's no need to make it suffer."

Daxter’s fur stood on end like static electricity as he clung to Jak’s shoulder in an arch.

"How long was that there?!" he demanded, "Is this a regular problem for you?!"

Damas prodded the still twitching viper with the butt of his staff. "Hardly."

His eyes narrowed in thought, and lowered himself into a crouch to examine the animal. "This little one did not get here on its own power."

Jak was already thinking on the same track.

"Someone brought it here," he realized, and his face twisted into an angry, inhuman snarl.

He jumped up onto the dais to crouch beside Damas and glared at the offending creature.

"So...so what? This was an assassination attempt?"

"Hm. That is very likely," Damas agreed. He didn't seem particularly bothered.

Glancing up, he directed a smile at Jak and Daxter. "Very well done. I commend the both of you. This will not be forgotten."

Daxter perked up, glowing at the praise like he'd had a spotlight shone on him.

Jak missed the praise entirely. He was fully focused on the words assassination attempt. Who would try to kill Damas? And in such an underhanded way? If someone had a problem with the king, there was a perfectly good Arena to settle the dispute in!

Well. To be fair, Jak supposed that would be a fight the dissenter wouldn't walk away from. He wasn't even sure he could beat Damas in a fight. So what did that make this? Cowardice?

Jak hated it. It reminded him of the backstabbing he used to see among the prison guards under Praxis's reign.

Jak glowered at the dead snake, and jerked his knife out of it. He just missed Damas’s approving nod when he bent to clean the blade on his boot before sheathing it again. The snake lay sprawled in unnatural angles, no longer twitching. With dark eco rumbling in his chest like a warning growl, Jak reached down and picked the viper up by the tail.

"I'm gonna find out who did this," he vowed, looking Damas in the eye, "And they're gonna pay."

He started to stand, but a hand on his arm anchored him in place.

"Leave it," Damas commanded. He stood and jerked his chin towards the foot of the throne. "Let everyone who enters this chamber see it there."

"Why?" Jak furrowed his brow and stood to follow, viper dangling from his hand. "Won't that just show the assassin they should try something else?"

Damas settled into his throne with a scoff. "No no, think, Jak. What did I teach you about choosing battles?"

Jak blinked. Was this a test of some kind? He looked to Daxter, who only shrugged. Damas had that secretive glint in his eye, which meant it probably was a test. Jak closed his eyes and tried to think.

He's not facing this head-on, or at least not the way I would. Which means he's probably taking a more subtle approach. Jak, admittedly, was not very good at "subtle". He wracked his brains for an answer, looking between the snake, the throne, and the doors before realizing that Damas was watching his facial expressions intently.

Oh.

"You're...going to watch everyone's reactions? When people come in, right? If...if the assassin or an accomplice comes in, seeing the snake will send a message. Or...or it might spook them into giving something away?"

The answer lacked his usual brash confidence. Jak hoped the king wouldn't pick up on that, but at the same time he knew it was unlikely that he wouldn't. But he couldn't help a little trepidation! Damas clearly expected him to know the answer and he didn't want to get it wrong!

To his relief, Damas dipped his head and smiled proudly.

"Excellent! That is precisely what I intend to do -- so I can't have you running around the city to threaten people with a dead snake."

He gestured to his right meaningfully.

"And as you have no other tasks for the afternoon, I think this would be a good opportunity for you to hone your observation skills. After how quickly you two picked up on the viper's presence, I can think of no better choice to help me suss out our would-be killer."

This time Daxter wasn't the only one to light up and stand a little straighter in response to the commendation. Jak may not have been familiar with ranks and hierarchies, but he understood the gesture of trust Damas was extending to them. And he understood that being asked to stand by at the right hand of a warrior like Damas was no small thing. Damas was asking them to help him find an assassin in the ranks as though he hadn't the slightest doubt that they would be successful.

Jak squared his shoulders and nodded sharply. "We won't let you down," he said firmly.

Damas returned his nod with an almost fond smile. "I know."

Jak leaned on the pillar right of the throne and considered the viper thoughtfully before tossing it to land closer to Damas’s feet. Then, after perhaps a minute of silence, he asked,

"Can I have the fangs though?"

Damas let out a startled laugh. "The fangs?!"

"Yeah," Jak shrugged, suddenly sheepish. "It's- I have a- there's a thing. I need them."

Daxter translated with narrowed eyes. "He means his horrible, horrible, bone collection that he's been making jewelry out of."

Leaning back, Damas laughed again. "Then by all means." He smiled indulgently, gesturing, "Take the fangs! Just be careful of the venom."

"I will." Jak waved off the warning just a touch too nonchalantly. "How long do you think before people start showing up?"

Damas checked his data device. "Four meetings this afternoon, two more after evening meal. The next one is in approximately twenty minutes."

Daxter hopped down and settled into a more comfortable position on the dais steps. "Welp. Sounds like we're gonna be here a while. Jak, you brought snacks, right?"

"We could eat the snake if you're hungry enough," Jak teased.

Daxter made a disgusted sound and looked to Damas, pointing an accusing finger at Jak.

"Will you please do something about him?!"

"Don't eat the evidence, Jak," Damas snorted. "Go get some roasted crickets out of the kitchens if you're hungry. You have a few minutes."

"CRICKETS?!" Daxter shrieked. He clasped his paws to his head in horror. "You're an enabler! Jak! Don't listen to the man!"

Jak pushed off of the pillar and rolled his eyes at Daxter. "If you'll eat a decapod, you can eat a hexapod. Besides, they're good! Damas, you want me to bring you some?"

"Naturally."

Daxter groaned and pulled his ears down over his eyes. "Great. Lunatic and Lunatic Junior are sharing meal plans now. Goodbye, normal diet!"

Jak looked just a little too smug about being labeled "Lunatic Junior".

Help what is MV Agusta?? I’ve seen that name dropped earlier this year, but I know fuck all about motorcycle brands. Will it be allowed?? I know Dorna wants a new manufacturer, so what’s the possibility they’ll accept??

MV Augusta is another bikes manufacturer, and it uses to be in the championship on their own (it's an historic one actually), and recently it was in Moto2 with their logo on the Forward bikes (they used to be called MV Augusta, but they didn't do anything on the team). They are also at the European Moto2/JuniorGP and WSSP.

MV Augusta has been partially brought by KTM/Pierer Mobility and apparently they want to revitalize them and a way to do it is bringing it back to the championship (more exposure means more people knowing about them and selling more bikes).

Would it be allowed? Yes but only in 2 ways:

New customer team from an existing manufacturer in Moto2 and Moto3. Basically buy a bike from Kalex, SpeedUp in Moto2 and/or KTM (Husqvarna, GasGasor CFMoto) in Moto3 and put teir own logo.

Or build their own bikes and put together a new team for any category. (Rumours indicate it's MotoGP with all the moviment and singing rider/test riders under the Pierer Mobility group.

What won't be allowed is create a new satellite team in MotoGP to slap the MV Augusta logo on it. they can brive other teams to switch manufacturers and do a GasGas/Tech3, but it didn't work with Gresini and LCR Honda is staying until finishing his contract with Honda (ends nex year I thin).

DORNA will actually be happy to have back an historic team, but the problem will be making sure they are not completely coping KTM if they are going to be developed in the same place. I know there's a few blurry lines as Husqvarna and GasGas and CFMotos are allowed to call themselves new manufactures when in reality their base is the same as KTM bike in Moto3.

This actually will make some teams *Ducati* mad, and protest, to make sure it's not a KTM in other colour (says the team with a fucking army), but as far as they can prove they have come up with those new stuff on their own and copying from looks something they already know it works (remember that this is how team are developing currently with the hole shot or aero), but has not been produced and tested by KTM they will be okay (I think).

I'm talking about MV Augusta because it's the one will be less criticized, and its the one being floating around, but it could be the same for GasGas, which actually was suggested already last year in the Tech3/GasGas or Husqvarna (but KTM said they prefer them to stay off road).

I hope this helps, and it's really happening, MotoGP and DORNA will be posting what it's allowed and what it is not for them to do

All You Need To Know About RF Antennas

Today, we are in an era where wireless connectivity is very important for us. Calling friends, watching TV and browsing—all these operations require the use of an antenna. However, these are just the daily examples. If we talk about the huge industrial level, the antenna’s role is second to none. Now, if you wonder what the RF antenna is, this guide is just for you to know about the RF antenna, its types, and more. Here we go!

Introduction to RF Antenna

An RF antenna, or radio antenna, is a device that you must have seen in your own or a neighbour’s home. It is a wireless device that is used to transmit and receive radio waves in both personal and professional usage. For example, you can use a Wi-Fi router antenna in order to get robust internet connectivity. The Yagi antenna is one of the popular RF antennas that is designed for long-range communication and signal transmission. Today, the requirement for RF antennas is essential for wireless navigation, broadcasting and satellite communication.

Antenna Key Parameters and Characteristics

You can find some antennas just like a piece of rod on the top roofs. But don’t underestimate it—this is a modern, high-performance device loaded with advanced features and powerful capabilities. We are mentioning here some key parameters and characteristics of antennas to level up the understanding that you have about RF antennas. Here we go!

Gain 

Gain is commonly used terminology to show the overall strength of the antenna to focus signals in one direction. For example, satellite antennas feature a high gain property, which means they are excellent devices to send and receive signals coming from one direction. 

Directivity 

Directivity is nothing but a method of telling how well the antenna can focus the signal in one direction. For example, the Yagi antenna works under a wide range of frequencies to improve TV signals.

Radiation pattern

Radiation pattern is one of the crucial antenna properties that users often consider. This property refers to how signals spread in space around the antenna. Omnidirectional antennas send and receive signals in all directions. And direction one shares signals in one particular direction. For example, a Yagi antenna is a directional antenna, and a dipole antenna is an omnidirectional antenna.

Bandwidth 

Bandwidth is the frequency range of an antenna at which it performs best. For example, mobile antennas support both 4G and 5G bands simultaneously.

VSWR

VSWR, or Voltage Standing Wave Radio, indicates how well an antenna works with cable. Choosing a wireless solution that has good VSWR means it offers better reception and higher performance with fewer connection problems.

Return loss

Return loss is an important antenna property that shows how much of the signal is reflected back instead of being transmitted. In areas such as rural areas, choosing a solution with lower return loss means a stronger signal output.

Beamwidth

Beamwidth is a property that tells you the angle at which the antenna gives the strongest signal. For example, radar antennas have a narrow beamwidth for focused detection.

Types of RF Antennas

You must have seen antennas in different locations and observed how they are so different from each other. This happens because of the unique demands of every application and industry. You cannot put a directional antenna in a location where getting signals from all directions is your primary concern. That is why, based on the usages, size, and structure, we have so many types of RF antennas. Let’s talk about the most common types of antennas that you must know about:

Dipole Antenna 

A dipole antenna is one of the most common types of RF antennas. You can easily find it around your surroundings. You may even use it to receive TV signals and watch your favorite programs. It is rod-like but not heavy, usually made of two metal wires or rods. This antenna spreads an omnidirectional radiation pattern and captures and transmits signals coming from all directions.

Some of the common uses of the dipole antenna are for radio, TV broadcasting, and communication systems. It spreads VHF and UHF frequencies, making it one of the flexible solutions for capturing a wide range of signals.

Yagi Antenna 

Yagi antennas are more powerful than dipole antennas. It is a type of directional antenna that ensures you can receive signals from a longer distance. The Yagi antenna is one of the most reliable solutions for applications, such as defence and telecommunication, where long-distance communication is one of the primary concerns. Some common usages of this antenna are TV reception, radio signals, and communication links in rural areas.

Parabolic Antenna (Dish)

A parabolic antenna is a wireless solution that most people adopt in order to access their favourite television program. Its round, disk-like shape, which looks like a big bowl, can identify it. A parabolic antenna is a directional antenna that is very useful in applications like broadcasting, aerospace, telecommunications, and radar systems.

Omnidirectional Antenna

Omnidirectional antennas are one of the most used wireless solutions in our homes. An Omnidirectional antenna has a rod- or cylinder-like shape that spreads signals equally in all directions. Today, this antenna has an enormous demand for Wi-Fi routers that share data in all directions without compromising on the quality. It is also used in mobile towers and public safety radios. 

Log-Periodic Antenna

Log periodic antenna is last but not least among RF antennas. It has a special shape made with many parts arranged from big to small in order. The Log periodic antenna is a directional antenna that works at a wide range of frequencies, making it ideal for TV signals, communication, and testing. Today, this device plays a big role in applications like telecom, defence, broadcasting, and research industries. 

Last Words

RF antennas, no doubt, are a masterpiece device for today’s era. Their presence enables homes, offices, and industries to stay connected with smooth communication networks. Without having these devices, we may not even use our mobile phone facilities like calls and meetings. Antenna manufacturers are one of the game-changing players in the market that build RF antennas in bulk and offer them to all the industries and individuals where their antennas are useful for various purposes like communication, navigation, research, broadcasting, and others.

Day 15: Technology of the System

There are many, many technologies in use across the Solar System, so this will be the largest section as all of them will need to be covered in detail.

Magnus Rail Stations

Mass Driver Stations that use magnetic rail systems to propel ships and vessels across the Solar System. The development of these travel hubs opened the solar system up to humanity at large, being capable of accelerating travelers to significant speeds and thus reducing propellant cost for traversing the system at large. With the nuclear salt and fusion engines developed later, the distance one could travel became greater and greater. These days the rail stations cover the entire solar system and have reached out as far as Pluto itself in terms of distance.

Rail Stations are also major commerce hubs and have numerous facilities and rotating gravity sections for travelers waiting their turn to get their vessel passed through the rails themselves. Holding numerous hotels, restaurants, and other services, the bustling nature of Rail Stations makes them attractive sites for any major corporate investment. They have thus served as neutral points for many parties in the system, Magnus Kinetics even advertising executive suites for corporate types.

Entanglenet Communications

Based on the idea of quantum entanglement theory, the Entanglenet is an information network covering the entire solar system that serves as the internet of the 26th century. A black box of technology developed by Eincomm Communications, the entanglenet has proven too useful for the various powers and they don’t want to risk pissing EC off at all.

Specialized satellites, receivers and transmitters, and even antennas connected to the entanglenet are what EC produces, these technologies are all hooked into the system and are rigged with specialized self destruct systems that if tampered with will automatically detonate at the slightest provocation and render everything inside useless. It’s to maintain their absolute monopoly over the technology.

Due to the usefulness of faster than light instantaneous communications across the solar system, the Entanglenet has become the biggest form of negotiation that Eincomm has over everyone else, at will they can shut down entire sub-networks for any major power in the system and leave it for others. Using this they help enforce the Zeus Accords, seeing as they majorly benefit from the Accords themselves, with this a status quo has been enforced across the System.

More commonly however it works as a modern internet, with users paying an annual rate for use of bandwidth and access to various sites and applications.

Heavy Knights

The major vehicle of combat under the Zeus Accords. The Heavy Knight is a mobile weapons platform that makes use of a variety of advanced technologies to even exist in the first place. From advanced computer and AI systems, muscle webbing for basic locomotion, to nuclear pulse thrusters and wheel systems for rapid movement across the field. The Heavy Knight is best described as a modular mech frame that has become in vogue for those following the Accords due to the nature of warfare the Accords proposed.

Originally developed as a form of construction exoskeleton, the very first Heavy Knights were originally a joke made by a disgruntled engineer at Prydwen Electronics, who took the design and strapped weapons to it as a joke, hoping to get fired. The executives however liked the idea and marketed it as a weapon meant for warfare under the Zeus Accords, smaller scale battles could be easily conducted with these machines. The original design lasted about 2 generations before being replaced entirely in the 3rd generation with a new design.

As the original 2 generations became known as Proto-Knights, the need for advanced designs capable of doing more was growing, and the PKs weren’t holding up to it with their twin stick designs. Watanabe Heavy Industries put out the first fully humanoid design, and to handle the complexities of action needed, gave it Artificial Intelligence in control over any need for a human pilot. The result worked and was devastating on the field, it took nearly 20 PKs to take on even one. The message was clear, the Autonomous Knights were ready for battle.

The AKs as they became known as were soon dominating the battlefield, with PKs only kept on hand as auxiliary support. Efficient and deadly it seemed the modern battlefield would become covered in automated mechs, though there was a growing concern of where this would lead especially under the accords. Talos Robotics was thus faced with the challenge of ensuring the conditions of the Accords were met, while matching the power of the Autonomous Knight on the battlefield.

Research into cybernetics was conducted, based on old designs from Earth before the Red Rains, the end goal was to grant a human pilot the same reaction time as the Autonomous Knights. The end result was the Neural-Gear system and series of implants, designed to be uncomplicated; the implants directly linked the pilot to the control system of their mech, granting far greater control and reaction times that matched those of the AKs.

The Autonomous Knight, while capable of processing information far faster than a human, was limited by the hardware it used, so in an even match human pilots stood a decent chance, as well as operational ability outside of designated parameters for missions made it clear human pilots still had a place on the modern battlefield. While AIs were capable of adapting to any major changes in a mission, they were limited by designated goals and restrictions in said missions, which left room open for human pilots to abuse, such as going outside mission zones.

The modern Heavy Knight was born, with Neuro-Gear integration at command, pilots became their machines and the modern battlefield was dominated by their presence.

The greatest benefit to modern designs is their modifiable status, with arms, legs, heads, and torso units able to be swapped out at any dedicated garage or hanger with ease. This allows pilots with access to parts of the licenses for printers to set up their HK in any configuration they need, with different parts providing different benefits based on mission need. This has led to numerous other corporate entities vying for contracts based on designing the perfect HK build, even partnering with others depending on the advantages brought.

The technology of the Heavy Knight has also seen miniaturization into mobile powered armor units for ship to ship boarding in rare circumstances. These Boarding Knights have seen rare use but have still found niches elsewhere in warfare under the Accords. As well as improved Industrial Knights built to serve similar purposes that the old Exo-frames used to so long ago.

Printers

Also known as Fabricators, Mini-Factories, Replicators, etc. Are a form of construction technology born from the idea of the 3D Printer from the early 21st century, these are a rare sight to see and only appear in heavily industrialized zones and colonies, or on the most advanced and outfitted spaceships crossing the solar system, due to the material needs and dedicated space required. If one has access to a Printer and a good set of licenses and the space, you can print nearly any mechanized piece you need.

Human Modification and Augmentation

Cybernetics, biological grafts, nanomachines, etc. The qualification of “what is human” isn’t as burning of a question in the 26th century thanks to the ease of which these are available. From black market modifications to dedicated military augmentation under the numerous powers, humanity is experiencing a peak in terms of altering one’s self.

The most common is the Neuro-gear jack, a nerve integration connector located on the spine and back of the head; this implant is used along with NERVE-suits to connect a pilot to their machine. From Pilots in dedicated warships making maneuvers, to HK pilots controlling the movement of their machine through thought. These interfaces are also seen in more commercial use, with very minor basic implants serving as the basis for intensive VR access for many people across the solar system.

From there comes numerous prosthetics and implants, meant to replace damaged parts in the dangerous lines of work across the solar system from military to industrial. These prosthetics and implants can also be outfitted with new functions or weapons, but are often limited by basic physics and the cost of outfitting someone with them. Many employers these days make use of the 6th generation of cybernetics for replacement parts, often because they’re cheap but they get the job done easily.

Other modifications include biological grafts and nanomachines, which have seen a rise in underground niche cosmetic modifications that let people assume nearly any look they want. While expensive many do spend their money on just basic cosmetic overhauls, with a popular set being more animal based.

Engines and Rocketry

Most modern vessels make use of Nuclear Pulse Engines for propelling themselves across the void of space when not under Rail Station Acceleration, the pulse of these engines while effective is quite low and can barely be felt as 0.01 of acceleration, thus most vessels have rotating sections to provide gravity for passengers.

While the impulse is quite low, the engines are capable of far heavier burns, most of them are used with Military vessels needing to cross distances when Rail Stations may not be available or aimed in the general direction of certain locations. While they aren’t capable of a near 1 G sustained burn they are capable of crossing vast distances in a far more reasonable timeframe than old engines from before the early days of space colonization.  Just for the sake of efficiency and repair a decent low burn while under a boost from a Rail Station ensures maintenance and upkeep is kept low.

Yeah in this regiment me being in Houston looking like Christopher me it saved my life once again all for you guys don't allow me to brush my hair but again I I am desperate for a haircut I can't wait to get my haircut so I look like a white hair boy or even a a black hair white skin boy...

I get better black you know if it's only only going to go to to my benefit again with skin cells most importantly... And again remember this you call you carrying I called it we put people close recesses for the word threat #threat it didn't have anything to do with I called it when I was there again obviously there's the word threat mean something to everyone it has always been been a meaning behind a word threat and it gets threatening people you can't talk to people that way whether you use what he threw or accident or mistake or or b******* whatever words you use a threat is a threat and at the end of the day they'll be archived by the word threat #threat

Of me having messy hair again of meet me being having a s*** beat out of me and in in Jacksonville again for for the skin pigment as as in Birmingham as as in the Mobile station that they beat the s*** out of me and gave me an extra 2 l today of soda for for your girls and boys on the satellite for your men and women on a salad to understand until he farts he's recovered you know after he eats it and drinks another two liters of soda.. right I would have to eat alongside drinking another 2 l if I already drink one 2 l I would have to eat to absorb the moisture the the white the drink... Hahaha

But once again all the blackers the whole time I was there in each one and one of these cities they didn't know me by Jason didn't know me by Michael but once again the the possession of of Christopher and Crystal's name has come up and I won the entire contrast of having messy hair little black Christopher is going to be angry when he finds out little white skin Christopher has curly hair #report

And I did call out where I killed white Jason in Boston forget my language and forgive the location I don't know if it's this one or the other one #fyi wink #wink

[2025-05-18 image @researchgate] Satellites are becoming used more for backhaul from the 4G / 5G mast. This is having implications regarding how the mobile network is being implemented away from cities.

In a built up area the backhaul, the route from the cellular tower to the core network (and Internet) would best be served via fibre. A few years ago when fibre was not so common we had our backhaul via copper wire which is much slower. Most urban areas are well covered with mobile connections by at least one mobile operator; 4 would be nicer.

Now (mid 2025) the issues for mobile companies is to get their network to more remote areas. In many cases these areas do not have fibre. Depending on the remoteness, and especially the line of sight the backhaul could be via microwave communications. But as areas to be fulfilled with mobile become more remote this is not an option. So the remaining option is satellite. The costs of this are much higher than other forms of backhaul, mainly due to the mobile companies not being in control of the satellites. The higher costs may result in higher customer bills, but we shall see.

By putting satellite into the mix the mobile companies can get nearer to the target of 100% geographical coverage for the UK much easier. All they need at a mast site is electricity, and more and more they are using solar panels and battery power.

Another side effect of these developments is that the residents within range of the mast can use mobile communications as their broadband supplier, as often they will have very limited copper FTTC connection. many places in remote Scottish hamlets have no better than 1Mbps speed which is worse than useless.

From Antennas to Streaming: The Best Ways to Watch TV in Your RV

Hitting the open road in your RV is a thrilling adventure, but you might wonder how to stay entertained with your favorite TV shows and movies while on the move. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a full-time traveler, knowing how to watch TV in an RV can make your journeys more enjoyable. From traditional antennas to modern streaming options, there’s a solution to fit every RV lifestyle. Let's explore the best ways to keep your entertainment flowing on the road.

Assessing Your TV Watching Needs

Before diving into TV options, think about how you watch TV. Are you a casual viewer who likes to catch a movie now and then, or do you need constant access to live sports and news? Understanding your viewing habits will guide you in choosing the best TV solution for your RV.

Antennas: Free Over-the-Air Channels

Antennas are a fantastic way to get free TV channels without a subscription. They pick up local broadcast signals from nearby TV stations. If you’re parked within range of a broadcast tower, you can enjoy live TV channels at no cost. Installing an antenna on your RV is like putting up a flag to catch the wind; it’s simple and can bring in a variety of local programming.

Cable TV: Traditional but Challenging

Cable TV offers a wide range of channels and is a familiar choice for many. However, in an RV, it can be tricky because you need a physical cable connection, which isn’t always available in RV parks. It’s similar to using a landline phone; it works well when you’re connected, but you’ll need to find a place that has the right connection for it.

Satellite TV: Reliable Coverage Anywhere

Satellite TV is a popular option for RVers who want TV coverage no matter where they travel. A satellite dish on your RV connects to satellites orbiting Earth, offering a consistent signal almost anywhere. This setup is great for remote locations where other TV options might not reach. Imagine it as having a TV service that follows you around like a loyal companion.

Streaming Services: Flexible and Modern

Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime give you access to a vast library of shows and movies. You only need a good internet connection to stream content. This is the equivalent of having a huge on-demand video library with you on the road. However, you’ll need to ensure your RV has a reliable internet connection, which can be achieved through mobile hotspots or campground Wi-Fi.

Comparing Costs: Antennas, Cable, Satellite, and Streaming

When it comes to cost, each option has its pros and cons. Antennas are free after the initial installation. Cable TV involves a monthly subscription and may require equipment rental fees. Satellite TV also has monthly fees, along with initial equipment costs. Streaming services offer relatively low subscription fees and can be canceled at any time. Think of it as choosing between a free sample, a buffet, a fixed-price meal, and a la carte dining—each has a different cost structure and level of flexibility.

Installation and Setup: What to Expect

Antennas are usually easy to install but require proper positioning to get the best signal. Cable TV setup is straightforward but needs access to a cable line. Satellite TV involves installing a dish and might require professional help to align it correctly. Streaming services require a device and internet connection, which is the simplest setup of all. It’s like putting together different types of gear: some are easy DIY projects, while others might need professional assistance.

Signal Strength and Reception

Antennas can sometimes struggle with weak signals, especially in remote areas. Cable TV provides a stable signal but depends on being near a cable hookup. Satellite TV generally offers strong signals but can be affected by weather conditions. Streaming services depend entirely on your internet connection, so a slow connection can lead to buffering. Imagine these as different types of roads: some are smooth and reliable, while others might be bumpy or prone to interruptions.

Portability and Convenience

Antennas are portable but may need adjustment depending on your location. Cable TV is less portable as it requires a physical connection. Satellite TV can be somewhat portable with a dish, but setup can be cumbersome. Streaming services are the most portable; as long as you have a compatible device and internet, you’re good to go. It’s like choosing between a fixed location, a trailer, and a backpack—each offers different levels of mobility and convenience.

Internet Requirements for Streaming

To use streaming services, you need a reliable internet connection. This can be a mobile hotspot or campground Wi-Fi. Ensure your data plan can handle streaming, as high-definition content uses more data. It’s like needing a power source for your devices; without it, your streaming service won’t work.

Content Variety: What You Can Watch

Antennas offer a variety of local channels but are limited in content. Cable TV has a broad range of channels and packages. Satellite TV provides extensive channel options and premium content. Streaming services give you access to a massive library of on-demand content, including exclusive shows and movies. Think of it as choosing between a few channels, a full cable package, a satellite menu, and a digital library; each has its own selection and depth.

Maintenance Tips for Your RV TV Setup

Keep your TV setup in good shape by regularly checking connections, cleaning your antenna or dish, and ensuring your equipment is secure. For satellite dishes, realign if necessary. For streaming, keep your device updated and troubleshoot internet issues. It’s similar to maintaining your RV; regular upkeep helps avoid bigger issues.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

With antennas, issues might include weak signals or poor reception. Cable TV problems can involve connection issues. Satellite TV can face signal interruptions due to weather. Streaming services might buffer if your internet is slow. Each type of TV option requires its own set of troubleshooting steps to ensure smooth viewing.

Traveling Internationally: Adapting Your TV Solution

Traveling abroad? You might need to adapt your TV solution for different broadcasting standards and voltage requirements. Research local options and check your equipment’s compatibility. It’s like learning a new language before a trip—preparation ensures you can enjoy your TV entertainment wherever you go.

Conclusion: Choosing the Best Option for You

Finding the best way to watch TV in your RV depends on your preferences and travel habits. Whether you opt for antennas, cable, satellite, or streaming, each has its own benefits and challenges. By understanding these options, you can tailor your TV setup to suit your mobile lifestyle and keep the entertainment rolling as you travel. So, get ready to kick back and enjoy your favorite shows, no matter where the road takes you!

Export Log for 7/21/2024-7/27/2024

This week, not a lot of notable things happened. Last week was described as a slow week but would be the stepping stone for new and greater things, but honestly, with the amount of exports and sales that happened then, it didn't deserve that label. Instead, this week much more deserves it, as there were far fewer things happening this week, but it will have huge implications for the future.

The biggest announcement for this week was the installation new experimental technology that allows us to have cheap and easy satellite access, allowing for accurate mapping of terrain, better drone transportation, and more. To oversimplify, the tech is basically transforming Crates into mobile satellites, allowing to make them for much cheaper without having to create an entire new system, and since they are technically space ships, they can leave the worlds on their own and avoid debris.

This has major implications on many worlds. To start off, no progress was made on Default as all focus was put on mapping out the planet. A large task, but not as large as expected. That being said, it may take another week before the mapping is complete, as hundreds locations are being identified thanks to a combination of the GPS systems and the Tomes of Memory. It will mean that the warehouses will continue to be full until this process is finished, but it will well worth it.

Another major situation where the mapping systems made major changes to was MazeRun. While we cannot abandon the waypoint system, lest an employee gets attacked by a terrorist if the position is not secured, it has helped a lot in more... unfortunate ways. The situation is still being sorted out, so we'll leave this alone until the supervisor of that world is ready to release the information. There were also major progress made in general on the world as well, but those either have had or will have their own posts about them. The warehouses were not full either though.

Finally, we get to C8H. As mentioned in the board meeting, the territory of C8H was tripled in sized, and while most it it will be wilderness, that just means more resources to collect, and more caves to fill. We're nowhere near ready to get ready to harvest the world's resources anyways, so there is nothing that can be done about it. Back to the Anti-Project plan on C8H, we have finished the sales from the scavenging trip, and here are the significant sales from that:

11 Crates of Gravel

6 Crates of Yarn

4 Crates of Wax

26.5 Crates of Glass

2 Crates of Snow

2 Crates of Ice

1 Crate of Utilitarian Magic Items

8.5 Crates of Concrete Mix

2.5 Crates of Soil

0.5 Crates of Monster Blood

2 Crates of Unique Plant life

6.5 Crates of Lava

3 Crates of Lore Books that were digitized

2 Crates of Ink

0.5 Crates of Magical Ink Glow Ink

2 Crates of Quartz

1.5 Crates of Clay

2.5 Crates of Bricks

1.5 Crates of Cursed Stone

0.5 Crates of Monster Eyes

2.5 Crates of Leather

2 Crates of Plasma

1.33 Crates of Magic Crystals

0.5 Crates of Onyx

1 Crate of Fertilizer

12 Crate of Sulfur

0.5 Crates of Glue

2 Crates of Oil

8 Crates of Precious Gemstones

5 Crates of Charcoal

1.5 Crates of Coal

0.33 Crates of Semi-Precious Gemstones

4.33 Crates of Steel

0.66 Crates of Gold

Diamonds were also traded

Afterwards, work was started on the goods from the Solar Isles, though there is... we're looking into a situation, but it should be nothing to worry about. We're not posting on what the significant sales were for the Solar Isles loot until all of it is cleared. Considering there is a ton of oil and onyx... that will take a while. Still, it will be worth it in the end. It will 100% be worth it...

Now for the Side Projects. First, for our atmosphere clearing project, we have managed to reach 734 sectors clear. That puts the progress percentage at 36.7%. Then we have the work done for our art commissioning service. We made a decent amount of commissions, but we're surprisingly getting them done faster then they come in. We're not expecting this to last thankfully, especially since we are taking part of a gallery meant to raise health awareness. That being said, our artist team is on a roll and have nearly finished it, so we'll have it ready with lots of time to spare. Anyways, here are the commissions we have received:

44 normal commissions

6 Full-sized commissions

6 Significant commissions finished

With that, that is the end of this week's export log. Hopefully, we'll have more progress to show you next week, though that is honestly not likely. With dangers coming up ahead as well, we may have to temporarily cut back on production to keep our employees safe. Just a warning if needed. But with that, we hope you look forward to our progress in this new era of satellite technology!

SCP#: AKO

Code Name: Matt Garetty, Soldier of the Serpent's Hand

Object Class: Prodosa

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AKO is in the unfortunate custody of Group of Interest: The Serpent's Hand and thus has found shelter in the Wanderer’s Library. For obvious reasons no containment procedures will be made now and possibly in the foreseeable future as anomalies that have made it into the Wanderer’s Library rarely if ever get into Foundation custody unless snuck out by MTF units. This is clearly impossible for SCP-AKO’s case, especially since he does not have a fond impression of the Foundation since his discovery. 

Description: SCP-AKO are three boys who seemed to have been exposed to an unknown anomalous material. They are known as SCP-AKO-1, SCP-AKO-2, and SCP-AKO-3 all of which have the same telekinetic abilities. They were originally three normal 18-year-old boys with no anomalous properties until they encountered the unknown material, how exactly this all happened is unknown. When Foundation researchers pinpointed the origin of their anomalous abilities all that was found was an oversized quartz crystal that easily shattered upon the slightest touch. 

Whatever makes each SCP-AKO anomalous seems to be linked to their brain and acts like a muscle. It can grow stronger over time so long as it's used but if stretched too far it will tear, though always grow back stronger than before. This has granted each SCP-AKO individual numerous abilities with their telekinesis such as levitating objects, levitating themselves, controlling acceleration around them, controlling gravity around them, and even being able to enhance their bodies to withstand any force directed at them. Unfortunately, due to two being dead and the third escaping to the custody of the Serpents Hand it's impossible to know if there was a limit or if they could go even farther. 

SCP-AKO was discovered in 2012 when Foundation satellites picked up anomalous wavelengths from the three of them. Foundation command observed them and was initially about to form a simple MTF to capture them all. However, after it was revealed, they could fly and even move large cars, capabilities they previously had according to the reports made the first week of their discovery. It was concluded they were getting stronger as time went by and thus were getting dangerous. Thankfully none of the SCP-AKO individuals seemed to want to bring any legitimate harm to others and were put on a watch list for the moment, at least until a better plan to contain them would be made. As time went on they even decided to suppress their abilities only to use it in the background to enhance small things like their capabilities in a magic show. 

However, SCP-AKO-1 soon started showing clear signs of depression, nihilism, and overall mental deterioration due to social issues in his life. Before the Foundation could create a proper Task Force to deal with him, he ended up in a hospital due to a robbery gone wrong and soon after went on a rampage in [data expunged] city, leading to massive exposure and nearly breaking the veil over the anomalous world. Thankfully MTF Command was quick to implement Protocol “Ignorance is Bliss”, with MTF Gamma-5 already firing bombs with Class B Amnestics.

This did not deny that SCP-AKO-1 was causing damage and getting stronger as time went on. SCP-AKO-3 was trying to stop him but proved to not be as strong and thus was getting beaten badly. Because of the severity of the scenario as well as the massive power required Captain Charlie Wells of Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 “Last Hope” was deployed immediately. Due to Protocol “Ignorance is Bliss” already being implemented the O5 Council and Ethics Committee agreed that Protocol “Censorship” can be disregarded given the circumstances. This led to a bad but quick battle between Captain Charlie Wells and SCP-AKO-1 and SCP-AKO-3. Please see Addendum X-88 for details.

After the battle SCP-AKO-3 retreated and was never seen again, however Foundation agents who enter the Wanderers Library have reported seeing him alongside members of the Serpent's Hand. This unfortunately has led to the Group of Interest gaining a powerful ally that could help them stand toe to toe against MTF Alpha-9.

Fans know that when an all-time great like Canelo faces a hungry action fighter like Munguía, the chances for drama and fireworks are through the roof.”

 “An all-Mexican championship showdown on Cinco de Mayo weekend between two guys with immense pride for their country and at the top of their games — it doesn’t get any better for the sport of boxing,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. “Given Jaime’s incredible offensive attack, Canelo’s unmatched counterpunching and both guys’ tremendous power, fans are in for an absolute barn burner. We at Golden Boy are proud to have been able to work with our partners at DAZN to help make this massive battle and potential instant classic in Las Vegas that you don’t want to miss!”

 “Jaime Munguía continues to make history as he paves his way in the sport,” said Fernando Beltrán, CEO of Zanfer Boxing Promotions. “There will be an overflow of Mexican pride in Las Vegas. This fight was accomplished for the people of México between two of the top Mexican fighters in boxing.”

 *CANELO ÁLVAREZ VS. JAIME MUNGUÍA*

 The reigning WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO Super Middleweight World Champion, Canelo Álvarez will look to extend his own record of successful undisputed title defenses in the four-belt era as he defends his belts for the fourth time in a 12-round matchup against the unbeaten former 154-pound world champion Jaime Munguía, who will compete at the full 168-pound limit for the third straight fight. 

 Having captured world titles at 154, 160, 168 and 175-pounds, Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) returns to action after a dominant victory last September that saw him drop former undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo on his way to a unanimous decision. The fighting pride of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Canelo became undisputed at super middleweight in November 2021 by taking the IBF belt from then unbeaten Caleb Plant via an 11th-round TKO. After dropping a light heavyweight title fight against Dmitriy Bivol in May 2022, Canelo rebounded to defeat Gennadiy Golovkin in their September 2022 trilogy fight before besting John Ryder in May 2023.

 Under the guidance of his renowned manager and trainer Eddy Reynoso, Canelo has triumphed over a long list of elite fighters since turning pro at just 15-years-old in 2005, including Golovkin, plus Shane Mosley, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto and Sergey Kovalev to name a few. Outside of the Bivol fight, Canelo’s only other defeat came against undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather in September 2013.

 “I’m very proud and excited to be able to make this fight,” said Canelo. “A Mexican versus another Mexican is always a huge fight and it’s been a while since there’s been one like this. It’s great to give an opportunity like this to a fighter that’s earned it like Jaime has. It gives me a lot of joy that two Mexicans will be facing each other in such a big fight for the sport.”

 The 27-year-old Munguía (43-0, 34 KOs) first burst onto the scene in 2018, shocking Sadam Ali via a fourth-round TKO to claim a 154-pound world championship, which he would go on to defend successfully five times. A native of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Munguía continued his dominance after moving up to 160-pounds, going 6-0 at the weight class from 2020 through 2022, including triumphs over D’Mitrius Ballard, Gabriel Rosado and Tureano Johnson, all while garnering a reputation as one of the most fan-friendly fighters in the sport.

 Munguía made his debut campaigning at super middleweight in June 2023, facing longtime top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko. Munguía emerged victorious with a unanimous decision in the back-and-forth affair that garnered Fight of the Year honors from the BWAA. In his most recent fight, Munguia joined forces with legendary trainer Freddie Roach, who helped guide him to a dominant ninth-round stoppage of veteran contender John Ryder in January.

 “I’m very, very happy and filled with enthusiasm for this great opportunity,” said Munguía. “I’m incredibly grateful to everyone involved who were able to make this fight a reality. We are ready to give fans a great night of boxing on Saturday, May 4. I can’t wait to demonstrate to the world that I am capable of doing great things. Viva Tijuana and Viva México!”
