Introdução A falência de uma instituição financeira não é, em geral, o produto de um único erro ou de uma circunstância isolada. Trata-se, quase sempre, do acúmulo dinâmico de vulnerabilidades, decisões arriscadas e pressões contextuais que se inter-relacionam ao longo do tempo. No caso do Banco Master, a liquidação extrajudicial anunciada em 2024 não pode ser explicada por um fator único.

This is the Second installment in the Appalachian History series, which delves into the rich, complex past of the Appalachian region—exploring the people, events, and forces that have shaped its identity over generations. On a sweltering July dawn in 1973, the sleepy hamlet of Brookside woke to the rumble of coal trucks and the sight of cardboard signs nailed to wooden

This is the first installment in the Appalachian History series, which delves into the rich, complex past of the Appalachian region—exploring the people, events, and forces that have shaped its identity over generations. On a gray Tuesday morning—May 5, 1931—a handful of laid‑off coal miners shouldered rifles along the Poor Fork Road just east of Evarts, Kentucky.

This is the third weekend I am working on Scholia, the first two part of the April 2025 hackathon. It follows the hackathons last year October and November hackathons. There is some urgency for this unpaid work, because Wikidata is splitting the RDF into two SPARQL endpoints (see this The Signpost and this post by Finn). This split has happened, but there is a legacy server for tools that have not been upgraded.

This post describes an issue I’ve had with writing correct types when using PEP-696 defaults in typing.TypeVar. I posted the exploration in a companion repository on GitHub. The motivation behind this comes from my work in biomedical data integration and the semantic web.

This is the First in the Repurpose Appalachia series, highlighting the transformation and revitalization of Appalachian mountain communities. ​ Being perched between 4,100 and 4,223 feet on the rugged spine of Stone Mountain, the modern High Knob Observation Tower greets each sunrise with a gleam of galvanized steel on sandstone.

Introduction When we exercise, our hearts run faster, which is associated with a decrease in the time between heartbeats. This time between heartbeats is also known by R-R intervals. If you have ever seen an electrocardiogram (EKG) curve before, each time your heart pumps you’ll see a small spike in your EKG;

NB: This is part of research that will be published in a special issue of Popular Culture Studies Journal focusing upon Star Trek: Enterprise which I am guest-editing (CFP open until 15 June). As a lifelong fan of the Star Trek franchise and a lifelong queer person (even if it took me a few decades to figure it out),[i] it is hard to overstate the joy I felt upon learning that Star Trek: Lower Decks (Paramount+

“State Fourteen is down. Switching contingency feedstock to Vermont and Utah.” I blinked twice to clear the haptic overlay from my vision, watching as a pale blue arc lit up across the Appalachian corridor. Fermentation input lines were rerouting in real-time, wheat husk to algal base to sugarcane waste, just another day in the life of a national biotech grid under siege. It wasn’t a cyberattack. It wasn’t sabotage. It was something worse.

This is the First in the Forgotten Appalachia series exploring the stories and places lost to time in Appalachian mountain communities. Tucked away in downtown Harlan, Kentucky, an unassuming patch of grassy ground at 206 East Clover Street conceals one of the county’s oldest and most intriguing burial grounds.
