When night fell on 5 June 1944, the Corry began her initial assignment, slowly and laboriously escorting heavy ships and transports crossing the English Channel. As H-Hour approached, the ship was deployed to shell German defenses along Utah Beach in support of troop landings. Dawn had barely broken when the Corry began exchanging salvos with the heavily fortified German batteries. The destroyer moved closer to the beach in an attempt to eliminate the heaviest artillery battery on the shore...

For the first time, the worlds of art and numismatics come together in a high-level exhibition. For three days, the Bogotá Gun Club is transformed into a space where heritage and aesthetics converge with collecting and history.Collectors, curators, academics, investors, and art lovers are invited to this unique event. It's not just another art fair: it's a dialogue between art and currency, memory and the market, with the content and international reach that the subject deserves.
Latin American Coin & Art Expo 2026 will mark a milestone in the region's cultural calendar, offering a curated experience with the highest standards of content, exclusivity and international projection.
Some coins seem much more artistic than others to me. Should be an interesting conference.
That reminds me of when I was invited to be the keynote speaker at a computer conference, the Primer Seminario Nacional de la Infomatica, at Antonio Narinio University in Columbia back in 1989. The drug wars were hot and heavy then and I regretfully declined to go, but I sent a video presentation entitled Como debe ser la Instruccion programada por Computator. I taught a lot of the classes for a Master's Degree in computer education for the group of educators from Colombian (one from Spain). They came to the U.S. campus for the classes. The same summer, I also had a class of educators from Norway. The Spanish and Norwegians were very different, but both groups were a lot of fun. That was probably my most fun teaching experience. I had the Spanish students for an entire program but the Norwegians only for a few days, so I got to know the Colombians very well and had a lot of fun with them despite the language challenges, which actually added to the fun.

Speaking of spying cars...
By the 2020s, these telematics programs were becoming outdated. Vehicle internet-connected onboard computer systems now allowed automakers to more easily collect even more detailed driver behavior data—precise measurements of how fast you drive or how hard you hit the brakes or the accelerator pedal, among hundreds of other behaviors.
Automakers can use this data to understand how crashes happen and improve car safety features. But for them, collecting it also came to make sense from a business perspective. For example, at a 2023 industry conference in Detroit, a Hyundai executive said that customers who had the company's Bluelink app were more likely to spend money to get their cars repaired at Hyundai dealerships and stay loyal to the brand. “We have seen that our current connected customers, on average, spend a certain percentage more with our company,” said the executive...

When you pick up your new car and your salesman pushes connecting the infortainment system, the "free" radio service connection might include a lot more than you think.
Modern connected cars rely on a mix of wireless and wired systems:High-performance Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Near Field Communication (NFC), IEEE 802.11p (DSRC), and cellular networks. High-speed data connectors and EMI-shielded solutions for infotainment, ADAS, and EV systems. Communication with other vehicles, infrastructure, and the cloud for safety, traffic management, and mobility services.
