WASHINGTON — The White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options to increase the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Donald Trump’s goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning.
In his joint address to Congress last week, Trump said that "to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.” Since then, administration officials have not said what "reclaiming" means.
U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans from partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to the less likely option of U.S. troops’ seizing the Panama Canal by force, the officials said. Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much Panamanian security forces agree to partner with the United States.
The Trump administration’s goal is to increase the U.S. military presence in Panama to diminish China’s influence there, particularly access to the canal, the officials said.

"Hudson’s Bay, a retailer with roots in Canada dating back more than 350 years, is facing liquidation after failing to secure the financing it needs to keep its stores open.
"The department store chain, which labels itself as Canada’s oldest company, fought to avoid a full shutdown in a Toronto courtroom on Monday. A lawyer for the company said the retailer’s efforts to resolve its cash crisis have “failed” and that without a workable solution for creditors and landlords, the company would be forced to fully liquidate."

How did a sophisticated PR campaign and Jewish infighting combine to make Einstein so popular?
And was Einstein “antisemitic” by modern-day standards?

A mass rally against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was held in Budapest.
The protest was organized by the opposition Tisza party. The leader of the political force, Peter Magyar, announced a public movement—a survey of Hungarians with 12 questions. This is a response to Orbán’s 12 demands to Brussels. One of the conditions was “Union without Ukraine.”
Among the questions are, in particular, whether Hungarians agree with Hungary remaining a member of the European Union and NATO, and whether they agree that the prime minister should hold office for a maximum of 8 years (Orbán has held this position since 2010).

"A curiosity in AI research is how definitions of intelligence often go unmentioned. They become a "I know it when I see it" sort of thing, or simply defined as doing certain tasks man can do. Cars can travel, and much faster than man, but few suggest cars have become a kind of animal because of its superiority. Computers seem to have memories much larger than man's. And they seem to be able to calculate faster. But computers don't memorize or calculate anything. It is we who read into the computer's states meanings such as memory and calculation. Computers cannot do this task, i.e. give meaning, for themselves, as we can for ourselves. Therefore, computers will never be intelligent."
