In a world where twinjets are the dominant force, Atlas Air is a rare oasis of four-engine aircraft, with the US-based cargo and charter specialist still flying both the Boeing 747-400 and the 747-8F. These double-decker widebodies are recognizable enough in their own right, but three of them have just got a bit more distinctive after the application of mustaches on their nose cones to raise charity awareness. //

The initiative in question is Movember, which sees men around the world grow mustaches in November in order to raise money and awareness for causes such as cancer and mental health. Atlas Air has now taken this a step further by adding mustache designs to three of its own aircraft, which will act as flying billboards for the cause. //

The Boeing 747 series has all but disappeared from passenger flights in the 2020s, but it remains more of a key player in the charter and cargo fields that Atlas Air specializes in. According to Planespotters.net, some 65 of its 86 aircraft (75.58%) are from the Boeing 747 family, and it has historically flown another 48 jets from this series. Its crop of 65 'jumbo jets' is split between 48 747-400s and 17 747-8s. //

Atlas Air's 48 Boeing 747-400s are 26.6 years old on average, and five of them are configured for passenger charter operations, while the rest carry freight. Meanwhile, all 17 of its Boeing 747-8s, which are 11.3 years old on average, are freighters. As it happens, Atlas Air has a special place in history when it comes to the Boeing 747: it received the final production example of the type back in January 2023.

We have gone through the seven sins and watched each one grow from a private weakness into a public system. But the cures are as old as the sins, and our ancestors knew them all.

A civilization is made of what it rewards and punishes. Reward the sins, and they become systems. Reward the cures, and they become a civilization.

Where your distribution has released a fixed kernel, install it. The table above lists the packages and advisories for Debian, Oracle Linux, SUSE and Amazon Linux.

If you build your own kernel, the fix is in Linux 5.10.272, 5.15.223, 6.1.190, 6.6.159, 6.12.113, 6.18.56, 7.2.10 and 7.3. The kernel's CVE team recommends updating to the latest stable kernel. It says the kernel community does not support cherry-picking individual fixes.

With over fifteen years of ministry in Central Asia and the Middle East, Jayson Georges (pseudonym) certainly has the credentials to address the topic of patronage, as co-author of Ministering in Honor-Shame Cultures: Biblical Foundations and Practical Essentials (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2016) and founding editor of HonorShame.com,. Although the subject dominates the landscape of Scripture (linguistically and culturally), from Genesis to Revelation, books rarely discuss it. I began reading Ministering in Patronage Cultures with high expectations and was not disappointed.

Ministering in Patronage Cultures alerts the reader to a cultural, biblical, and theological blind spot that impacts our relationships with others and the divine patron. Rather than providing rules for the reader to follow, Georges gives principles to help clarify the cloudy conversations that surround patronage in antiquity and today.

Honor and shame cultures shape how communities define identity, morality, and restoration, and in many parts of the world, shame, not guilt, is the dominant force shaping how people hear and respond to the gospel. Ministering in honor-shame cultures requires a shift in language, posture, and practice.

Many a Westerner have experienced a culture that runs on an honor-shame operating system. In Ministering in Honor-Shame Cultures Jayson Georges and Mark Baker decode the cultural and biblical script of honor and shame. Rooted in biblical theology, this 270-page book equips Christians to embody and proclaim the Kingdom of God in global contexts.

University of Sheffield researchers figured out how to re-create the 1,600-year-old glass recipe.

The United Nations declared 2022 the International Year of Glass. Countless events, and activities across the globe took place throughout the year, celebrating glass in all its glory — from science, sustainability, industry and technology, to art, history and culture.

A worldwide callout was launched to find the 7 Glass Wonders. Over 50 proposals, submitted by regional organisations from each continent, were assessed by an international panel of independent judges.

I am thrilled to share the 7 Glass Wonders with you:

These are the conservative 12V setpoints I work from, referenced to 25°C (77°F).

| Stage (12V) | Flooded | AGM | Gel |
| Bulk | Current-limited (rises to absorption) Current-limited (rises to absorption) Current-limited (rises to absorption)
Absorption 14.4–14.7 V 14.4–14.7 V 14.1–14.4 V
Float 13.5 V 13.5–13.8 V 13.5 V
Equalize 15.0–16.0 V (periodic) None / limited (check maker) NEVER
Temp-comp −3 to −5 mV/°C/cell −3 to −5 mV/°C/cell −3 to −5 mV/°C/cell

these are lead-acid numbers. If you’re charging a lithium iron phosphate bank, throw this table out — LFP wants a flat absorption around 14.0-14.6 V at 12V, essentially no float, and no temperature compensation in the same form. -- check the data sheet

Create a Canarytoken.
Deploy it somewhere.
Know. When it matters.

What are Canarytokens
Canarytokens are like motion sensors for your networks, computers and clouds. You can put them in folders, on network devices and on your phones.

Place them where nobody should be poking around and get a clear alarm if they are accessed. They are designed to look juicy to attackers to increase the likelihood that they are opened (and they are completely free).

Why should you use them
Our Canarytokens are easy to sprinkle all over and forget about, until you get the notification that matters. They are super lightweight and don’t require installing software or running more background processes that can slow down your PC.

Canarytokens are a distilled version of our much-loved Canary product. They are dead simple, and they work.

80 years ago today, the first images of Earth from space were taken. A 35mm camera mounted on a captured V-2 rocket launched from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This photo is a frame from the rocket's journey to 65 miles (105 km) above Earth's surface. //

The camera snapped a new frame every second and a half. The V-2 slammed back into the desert at about 500 feet per second and smashed it, but the film survived in a steel cassette, and a recovery soldier said the scientists jumped up and down like kids.
