The opinions and views expressed in this article are the author’s own and do not necessarily represent those of the ICRC. Introduction While there is a wealth of literature addressing the challenges faced by business organisations in implementing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), those relevant to International Organisation (IOs) are scarce and almost non-existent regarding non-governmental organisations (NGOs). NGOs based in the European Economic Area (EEA) often face significant …

The plan to build a city on artificial islands in the Gulf of Thailand to form a seawall for Greater Bangkok. The Bang Khun Thian land reclamation project is a proposed megaproject to build artificial islands in the Gulf of Thailand as part of a flood defence system for Greater Bangkok.

There is an email that I get every day of the week. It is automated, but its content is personal, just for me. There are no images, engaging graphics or links to fun videos or clever memes. It is just text. None of it is really new either – I have read it all before, perhaps more than once. Of course, it may have been a while, so I may …

Rudolph Valentino has a problem: women find him attractive and he can’t resist them either. This leads to payoffs and blackmail in abundance, so he jumps at the opportunity to leave Italy for America. Problem solved! Home Media Availability: Released on DVD. He’s just a boy who can’t say no Cobra was made near the […]

I’ve been collecting the kids odd socks for their entire lives. This wasn’t intentional. The socks pass through the usual sock lifecycle: acquisition, either through purchase or they just come home from nursery wearing them, partial retention, passed through both kids as their feet grow into and out of the appropriate size window, and finally death, at the end of their lives they end up with all the other clothes …

Kurt Vonnegut once said in an interview that he invented Kilgore Trout so that he could provide pithy, entertaining summaries of books without having to write them. The method works; people like reading these sorts of posts, and I like writing them, so they shall continue.Previous posts:20 Anomalous Media5 Forgotten Fictional Fantasy NovelsStar Wars Movies that Don't Exist and Never Will The Unseen (Dressel, Oscar. ~1936)An unfinished and unpublished novel …

I had two basketball sessions this week. The first session was the best one I've had in a while. Every shot was going in and the team I was on only lost one game in the 90 minute session. The second session of the week was a training session for the team that I am playing with this year. I hadn't attended an actual training session in six years so …

We are at Coven Sud. We got here yesterday, early afternoon, and will be leaving again on Tuesday afternoon. Forever....

The September beer festival at the RDS in Dublin was a fixture on Ireland's calendar between 2011 and 2017. A later move to other venues was less successful and it all wrapped up before Covid. This year saw a tentative return, on a smaller scale and in a different part of the venue, but still filling the remit as required. 20 Irish brewers and a handful of international representatives took …

The 1980s saw the AIDS epidemic surge to catastrophic levels, leaving communities devastated and countless lives hanging in the balance. Across the U.S. and beyond, people were dying at an alarming rate, while others were gripped by fear of a mysterious disease they barely understood but believed could soon sweep through the population like wildfire.

Ryan Dahl was on The Changelog to talk about Deno 2 specifically and his work on JavaScript more broadly. What follows are a few things that stood out to me. His Regrets From Node Are Now in Deno I think it’s interesting that Ryan’s famous talk 10 Things I Regret About Node.js served as the manifesto and launching point for Deno. And yet, he’s now re-introduced some of those regrets …

I saw this on Scroobius Pip's twitch channel on Friday, and it is glorious. I'm not 100% sure what it's advertising. I think it's textured wallpaper, but surely you don't want to be talking about what "must come down" if you're advertising wallpaper? Anyway, the important thing is that it s unnecessarily, gratuitously funky. Watch until the end; I guarantee it's worth it.

Last week, I shared information about my participation in the Superspeaks | Microsoft EDU podcast on the BAM Radio Network. The discussion focused on technology integration frameworks in the context of Generative AI, featuring a panel of educational technology scholars. Part 2 of our conversation is now available. This episode, titled “Selecting The Right Framework […]
