needs to be turned on explicitly and is only active in Enhanced Safe Browsing mode. In this mode, a random Sampling risk The Opt-out paradigm offers a more privacy-enhancing trade-off. This approach relies on the assumption that Google maintains a comprehensive list of promises (SCTs); this assumption is reasonable given that Google powers log monitors which should catch all log insertions, namely all promises once fulfilled. The way to achieve private SCT auditing in this approach is as follows. As before, it is only employed on a small fraction of hosts, namely a small fraction of SCTs. Given a previously unmet sampled SCT, the user performs a k-anonymous query - the user only sends a small number of prefix bytes of the SCT. Since there are many SCTs in Google'sdatabases, this is not expected to identify the SCT (hence the underlying accessed hostname or URL) uniquely, but rather narrow down to a few options. Google responds with those options, and the user can verify that her complete SCT is included in the Google'sdatabase. If it is not, it is a security issue that can be investigated further. It is noted that this approach may fail if the user does not wait the MMD (time to fulfil the promise), since during that time it is not guaranteed that the certificate be found in the CT loggers.

The Jewish community in Khasavyurt, located in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, is one of the oldest Jewish communities in the cities of the North Caucasus. Jewish presence in Khasavyurt dates back to the time of the Russian Empire. In the 1830s, the Russian army built a fortress on the right bank of the , about 80 kilometers from Petrovsk (now Makhachkala). A civilian settlement, which became Khasavyurt, developed around the fortress. Among its early inhabitants were Ashkenazi Jews who had been demobilized from the army, as well as Mountain Jews. After this pogrom, the Jewish residents, along with their families and belongings, fled to the fortress across the Aktash (river) The synagogue, located in the city center since pre-revolutionary times, was one of the most beautiful buildings in Khasavyurt.

Geocivilization is an interdisciplinary concept that studies how physical environments (deserts, rivers, mountains, trade routes) and human societies shape each other over centuries. Unlike environmental determinism which claims that terrain or climate alone dictate cultural outcomes geocivilization emphasizes a two-way dialogue between human decisions and natural settings. Historical and theoretical background From environmental determinism to geo-cultural systems Early theories of civilization held that physical geography directly determined social structures and political power. Modern geocivilization rejects simple cause and effect, focusing instead on the ongoing interaction between people’schoices and geographic conditions over long periods. In 2012, Ruan Wei defined geocivilization as a "macro-geo-continuum where multiple civilizations share a geographical locus, cultural values, and reduced costs of association," highlighting how shared space and culture facilitate cooperation. This view contrasts with older approaches that analyze civilizations as separate cultural or political entities. Delanty and Isin introduce a spatiotemporal framework literally a “space + time” lens that shows how ideas and environments co-evolve, rather than following a linear path. Ahmed Sarirete’sgeocivilizational framework Ahmed Sarirete defines geocivilization as the “dynamic interplay between geo-cultural environments and civilizational trajectories.” In his view, while deserts often inspire spirituality and a reliance on divine support, river basins, trade corridors, and other natural landscapes foster independence and serve as “incubation spaces” for human innovation, nurturing the emergence of institutions, beliefs, ethics, and technologies independently of divine intervention. In contrast to geopolitics, which primarily focuses on short-term power dynamics, Sarirete emphasizes the long-term impact of deeply rooted values such as justice, faith (whether in the divine or in humanity), community, and innovation on the global trajectories of civilizations. Methodological innovation Geo-historical reference systems Modern scholars are increasingly constructing geo-historical maps to | Wikipedia:Geocivilization |

maps to trace the movement of ideas, goods, and populations over centuries, revealing how physical landscapes have shaped cultural and political trajectories. These efforts blend insights from archaeology, climatology, and cultural history, providing a richer understanding of the deep connections between geography and civilization. * Yellow River Basin (China): Early Chinese dynasties invested heavily in canal networks and flood control systems, transforming the Yellow River basin into a cradle of centralized state power. These hydraulic projects not only facilitated agricultural expansion but also reinforced Confucian ideals of order, stability, and hierarchical governance, shaping the political and philosophical foundations of Chinese civilization. * Himalaya–Karakoram Region: Recent studies of glacial retreat and changing monsoon patterns reveal the significant impact of climate shifts on historical trade and pilgrimage routes. These environmental changes forced mountain communities to adapt, altering cultural exchanges and influencing the spread of Buddhism along the ancient Silk Routes. Together, these examples illustrate how geo-historical mapping can uncover the complex interactions between human societies and their natural environments, highlighting the deep roots of contemporary cultural and economic patterns. Comparative civilizational analysis Ruan Wei's geo-economic framework emphasizes the powerful role of shared geography and cultural affinities in shaping economic relations. According to this perspective, neighboring regions that share historical and cultural bonds tend to experience lower trade costs and stronger economic cooperation. This is particularly evident in East Asia, where China and ASEAN countries maintain robust trade relationships despite periodic political tensions. These ties are reinforced by centuries of economic interdependence, shared cultural heritage, and complementary economic structures, which together create a resilient foundation for regional cooperation, even in the face of shifting political landscapes. Critiques and debates Essentialization risks One of the main critiques of the geocivilizational approach is the risk of essentializing entire regions into monolithic cultural blocs, such as referring to "Islamic civilization" or "East Asia" as if they were internally homogeneous and static. This | Wikipedia:Geocivilization |
risks One of the main critiques of the geocivilizational approach is the risk of essentializing entire regions into monolithic cultural blocs, such as referring to "Islamic civilization" or "East Asia" as if they were internally homogeneous and static. This perspective can obscure the rich diversity of languages, cultures, and historical experiences within these regions. Postcolonial scholars, drawing on the work of thinkers like Dipesh Chakrabarty, emphasize the importance of "provincializing" dominant narratives to avoid reducing complex societies to oversimplified categories. Chakrabarty argues for an approach that centers indigenous spatial knowledge, acknowledging the fluid and contested nature of cultural identity and historical agency within each region. Digital and climate challenges Additionally, focusing too narrowly on physical geography risks overlooking the profound impact of digital networks and climate-driven migration on modern identity formation. In the digital age, virtual communities transcend traditional geographic boundaries, creating new cultural spaces where ideas and identities flow at unprecedented speeds. Meanwhile, climate change is accelerating population movements, blurring the once-clear lines between distinct civilizations and forcing societies to adapt to new forms of cultural exchange and territoriality. These shifts challenge the traditional geocivilizational model, demanding a more dynamic understanding of how place and identity interact in a rapidly changing world. Future directions Contemporary researchers are increasingly adopting interdisciplinary approaches to deepen our understanding of the relationship between environments and civilizations. These methods include: # Genomics – Advanced genetic analysis is being used to trace ancient human migrations, revealing the deep connections between human populations and their environments over millennia. By analyzing DNA from ancient remains, scientists can reconstruct the paths of early human dispersals and understand how geography shaped genetic diversity. # Driven Climate Models – Artificial intelligence is now being employed to simulate the long-term environmental impacts on societies. These models can integrate vast amounts of climate, geological, and archaeological data, providing insights into how past and present civilizations have adapted to shifting | Wikipedia:Geocivilization |
Models – Artificial intelligence is now being employed to simulate the long-term environmental impacts on societies. These models can integrate vast amounts of climate, geological, and archaeological data, providing insights into how past and present civilizations have adapted to shifting climates. # Participatory Mapping – In many regions, local communities are actively contributing to the mapping of their environments, annotating digital maps with indigenous ecological knowledge. This approach captures the nuanced understanding that local populations have of their landscapes, enriching scientific models with context-specific insights often missed by purely top-down approaches. Together, these mixed methodologies promise a more comprehensive picture of how environments and civilizations co-evolve, highlighting the complex interplay between cultural innovation and ecological adaptation.

Director Julius Onah found Ross and Betty'srelationship to be the heart of the film as Betty represented a "human side" to Ross. while simultaneously "trying to cement his legacy and redefine who he has been as a human being and as a leader". However, Onah noted that they never filmed a version of the movie where he "explicitly died", but rather left his fate ambiguous. Special effects for the Red Hulk In Captain America: Brave New World, Ross'stransformation into the Red Hulk required motion capture and visual effects (VFX) technology, which Ford embraced after having utilised de-aging effects for his role in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023). The visual development team for Red Hulk was led by Ryan Meinerding alongside the New Zealand–based digital VFX company, Wētā FX. He clarified that he did not mean to "disparage" it, but added that "you have to do certain things that normally your mother would not want you to do or your acting coach, if you had one", but noted that he had fun doing so.

''Reason (magazine) The assassination attempt on President Ross by Isaiah Bradley (Marvel Cinematic Universe) Differences from the comics Original derivations In the mainstream Marvel Comics There are various differences between the MCU and comic version of the Red Hulk. In the comics, the Red Hulk'sbody functions as a "living heat generator", being able to generate enough heat to often melt metal, as his temperature rises proportionally with his anger. Brave New World incorporated these elements from the comics with the Red Hulk'stransformation being "accompanied by fiery particles [...] with nearby materials visibly charred from the intense heat", but the film itself does not address these thermal abilities. Additionally, in the comics, Ross transformed into Red Hulk with the help of List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations#Intelligencia Ford'sportrayal Ford'sportrayal of Ross in Captain America: Brave New World (2025) received generally positive reviews with various writers finding Ford'sportrayal to have "gravitas".

After the 2025 papal conclave Cardinals Despite the secrecy of the conclave, cardinals often talk to the media in the aftermath to discuss some behind-the-scenes details, with some anonymous cardinals having disclosed vote tallies. Among the first was Luis Antonio Tagle, one of the several papabili discussed pre-conclave, who told Il Messaggero that as he perceived Prevost to be tense in the last round of voting, he offered him a candy.

According to Cardinal Gregory, Prevost did not make "any particular statement" during the pre-conclave General Congregations, and instead "engaged quite effectively" in smaller group discussions; Gregory said that there was no "extraordinarily convincing speech that enthused" the College of Cardinals but rather a constant dialogue among the cardinal electors. * – Chancellor Christian Stocker tweeted in German, congratulating Pope Leo XIV on his election. * – President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva tweeted in Portuguese, congratulating Pope Leo XIV on his election and hoping the Pope "continues the legacy of Pope Francis". * – Foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian issued congratulations on the election of Pope Leo XIV.
