an Interior Ministry spokesperson told Reuters Greece said it would send two Canadair CL-415 planes.The situation would likely get worse amid unusually dry conditions and wind gusts of up to 70 kph (43 mph) national emergency and civil protection commander Andre Fernandes said.He planned to maintain the current special red alert status across mainland Portugal.Albergaria-a-Velha Mayor Antonio Loureiro told reporters the fire had burned down four houses and was threatening 20 more as it raged in the industrial and residential perimeter of the town of around 25,000 people.Temperatures topped 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) across the country over the weekend and Monday and were expected to stay high into Tuesday.Portugal and neighbouring Spain have recorded fewer fires than usual after a rainy start to the year But both remain vulnerable to the increasingly hot and dry conditions that scientists have blamed on global warming.Reporting by Sergio Goncalves and Andrei Khalip; Editing by Andrew Heavens Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

Additionally it criminalized calls for peaceful demonstrations and protests along with other complementary resolutions establishes that the Cuban state is the owner of public telecommunications services and has the authority to regulate and oversee all services and networks in the country In 2023, the Cuban Parliament unanimously approved the controversial Social Communication Law which further restricts press freedom in Cuba The regulation controls the content of the media and has been heavily criticized by non-governmental organizations and independent press Miguel Díaz-Canel characterized the law as a "first step" toward controlling the communication system in Cuba and prohibits the dissemination of information that could "destabilize the socialist State." This law only permits the existence of media linked to the State or the Communist Party It does not guarantee freedom of the press nor does it allow the dissemination of independent content outside the official narrative Carlos Penalva recommends that the Cuban regime further strengthen its control over the Internet This includes establishing stricter regulatory frameworks for social media interaction aimed at limiting the spread of content deemed harmful to the Cuban government Decree Law 35 in Cuba imposes severe restrictions on freedom of expression on the internet It classifies the dissemination of "false news" and offensive messages as crimes even criminalizing calls for peaceful protests which significantly limits citizens' ability to express themselves freely on digital platforms The Social Communication Law in Cuba severely restricts press freedom This law controls the content of the media allowing only the existence of state or Communist Party-affiliated outlets and prohibits the dissemination of information that could "destabilize the socialist state." The Cuban regime justifies the control of information on the Internet as a defense against misinformation campaigns these campaigns are part of a "media war" against Cuba aimed at destabilizing the country and its economic system thereby justifying the restrictions imposed on freedom of expression A team of journalists committed to reporting on Cuban current affairs and topics of global interest we work to deliver truthful news and critical analysis emerging Canadian pop artist Olivia Penalva announces an expanded version of her latest album Spiderwebs (Deluxe) slated for release on July 5th via all streaming platforms Olivia made a triumphant return with Spiderwebs an incredible collection of 11 emotive tracks The deluxe version will feature two additional songs that further explore themes of romance and the complexities of human connections through Olivia’s powerful vocals and relatable lyrics All the songs were written or co-written by Olivia and takes listeners on an emotive journey through the highs and lows of love and self-discovery Produced by Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen the new tracks are entitled “Bad” and “You’ve Got Yourself To Blame (For The Way I Love You).” “You’ve Got Yourself To Blame (For The Way I Love You)” showcases Olivia’s stunning vocal capabilities paired with the sounds of delicate piano and guitar strings in a driving cathartic track about the consuming feeling of falling in love ““You’ve Got Yourself To Blame (For The Way I Love You),” sums up a lot of the themes on this album This is a heartfelt song about letting someone know that they are to blame for falling in love because now you live for their gaze," said Olivia Penalva "The album explores themes of grief and loss and this song felt like the perfect addition reminding me that the same people who make us feel our best can also leave us feeling our worst.” "Bad" is an emotional ballad with reflective lyricism that describes the struggle and yearning for love It expresses a willingness to do anything for the person you have fallen for This is a special track for Olivia as it is the first song she wrote with sister Since the release of her debut single at the age of 13 Olivia has evolved into a versatile artist and songwriter Boasting over 25 million streams to date and several Top 20 radio hits she has quickly joined the ranks of Canada’s rising pop stars Olivia earned herself a Top 20 spot on Canadian radio for her hit single “Love Me” which then became the #2 most-added song at CHR Mediabase Her following single “Ex’s” also hit the Top 20 on CHR and Hot AC radio in Canada earning her a Top 50 slot on mainstream pop radio For more information on Olivia, please visit oliviapenalva.com Contributing Photographer Tracey Savein - South Paw Productionssouthpawproductions@rogers.com Artlyst Joao Penalva’s Pavement Photographs On Display At Simon Lee Gallery Simon Lee Gallery presents a solo exhibition of new work by the London–based Portuguese artist photography is central to Penalva’s practice At the core of his use of the medium is the ambiguity of its relationship to fact and fiction slide and film installations suggest themselves as documentary but jarring notes or a fictional tone offer other potential readings This uncertainty seems to question the very possibility of the photograph to act as an independent or impartial document One major new series of works in the exhibition consists of large scale photographs of London pavements taken at points along the artist’s daily routes between home and studio printed onto linen and mounted on aluminium No less formal compositions for being ready-made like all of Penalva’s photographs these works are historical documents Records of surfaces laid down over time by the addition or replacement of material and texture they stand as transcripts of the labour that makes them and of the passage of man and machine across their surface they call to mind Freud’s analogy of the aggregation of psychological experience with the architecture of the Eternal City Beneath the soil of the contemporary city can be found the memory-traces of its past but that history is also preserved on the surface of the city’s streets In their transposition of horizontal to vertical in their insistence on base materiality and in their entropic collapse of figure / ground distinction these photographs recall as well Rosalind Kraus and Yve-Alain Bois’ reading of Bataille’s concept of l’informe complete with its associations of modernist and anti-modernist artists from the Sacchi of Alberto Burri to Andy Warhol’s oxidation paintings small format silver gelatine prints are also titled after the places the photographs were taken Their title includes as well the name Michio Harada A book accompanying the exhibition reproduces these and other works by the Japanese photographer This is an exhibition within an exhibition but the precise status of these works – their authorship This ambiguity casts doubt in turn on the status of the street pavement photographs and continues in the exhibition’s final element a slide installation entitled Monument shown in the lower gallery An image of a photographic enlarger is projected alongside a text describing three members of a single family from Northern Ireland one of whom is supposed to be the photographer The work suggests an exercise in genealogical reminiscence but also the weaving of a complex and whimsical story João Penalva was born in Lisbon in 1949 and has lived and worked in London since 1976 He represented Portugal in the XXIII Bienal Internacional de São Paulo in 1996 and in the XLIX Biennale di Venezia in 2001 and was awarded the DAAD Berlin Artist’s Residency in 2003-2004 He exhibited in the Berlin Biennale 2 (2001) and the Biennale of Sydney (2002) His work has been shown extensively in museums and public institutions Major solo exhibitions include: Trondheim Kunstmuseum Odense (2012); CAM – Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Lund (2010); Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art Oporto (2005); Ludwig Museum — Museum of Contemporary Art Budapest (2005); Rooseum Center for Contemporary Art His work was recently included in the group exhibition Conflict João Penalva – Simon Lee Gallery – until 25 April 2015 Use this easy form to submit a content idea A collection of the best tech news and content Define tech jargon and acronyms with our comprehensive glossary Enter your email to receive our weekly G2 Tea newsletter with the hottest marketing news an AI Platform for Customer Experience teams to automate workflows and drive product decisions Lang.ai is a Series A company with customers such as Ramp Jorge's expertise lies within driving value from unstructured data in Enterprise companies and he's seen the evolution of AI technology in the last 10 years Jorge can be seen running in the trails of Marin County or having a croissant in his favorite bakery you’re probably tasked with one of the most important..

Not too long ago, she released a lyric video for her “You Love It” single “I think it’s really easy to be hard on ourselves we tend to forget that other people are capable of loving the parts of ourselves that we hate the most We convince ourselves that it’s not possible and that we aren’t good enough But there is someone out there for everyone and hopefully that person can show you just how wonderful you really are.” – Olivia Penalva explained Olivia Penalva is one of Canada’s most rapidly rising stars she moves from lovely ballads to angsty electronic anthems Thoughtfully employing music to navigate the trials and tribulations of self-discovery Olivia has nurtured personal growth amidst her professional challenges and realities Olivia has been featured on Spotify Canada’s New Music Friday Her raw talent and intended vulnerability opened the doors for her to work with some of the industry’s top writers So far, she has collaborated with Nolan Sipe (Jonas Brothers), David “Messy” Mescon (Nicki MinajAriana Grande) Patricia Conroy and Dave Thompson (Lady A) As she continued to amass impressive streaming numbers Olivia has made the instinctive effort to focus on curating her individualized sound one that has become unique within the assemblies of pop releases across the industry We may earn an affiliate commission when you buy through links on our site Your email address will not be published.

Read our Privacy notice João Penalva's studio is in one of the few remaining large group studios in south London not yet transformed into expensive lofts. He tells me sadly that the building is under threat as it has been recently sold. We ascend in a slow goods-lift to his bright, largely empty space on the top floor. He has only been here a year, explaining its neatness. The windows have thick curtains which he draws to get the studio dark enough to work on his photographs, projections and slide works; they also help to keep the space warm in winter. He likes very much being a tourist in Japan: "I am very much a foreigner – I love being a foreigner. It is such an advantage. You never take anything for granted." His practice turned increasingly to photography, film and slide works. He now brings back material from his visits to Japan. When he's there, he confesses, "I am thinking this is something that will be transformed." In the studio, pieces of cloth hang on the wall, their difference from European textiles apparent. Before I leave he calls me over to the window. "The most important thing in this studio is not the studio itself but the car park." He points at the view. "It changes every day with the weather; it changes as there are shadows, and when it rains and when people park cars; so I started photographing it".

Matthew Miller, principal analyst at G2 focused on AI, agrees. His research of almost 200 categories with generative AI features bares this out Despite the bells and whistles of newfangled technology the needle has hardly moved when it comes to how well the software fulfills the requirements of software users and only then should you try to figure out how to use the best software to achieve the best results If you’re in GTM teams, such as sales, marketing, product, customer experience you can benefit from this framework to make the right decisions when it comes to establishing AI three primary options to implement AI in a company are available You will be able to run your model of choice as you host it based on if it’s open source or it’s hosted by the provider Differentiator of cloud/LLM providers: Engineers can make tweaks and have varying degrees of control over the underlying models being used Vertical leaders are software platforms that have grown in a certain vertical They typically specialize in a specific business function or area they have the most comprehensive dataset with regard to that function Some of them have already launched AI models trained on all the historical data from their customers.  Some examples of vertical leaders with new AI tools: have become vertical leaders with a new product in the market because they were able to nail the timing in the new AI wave Copy.ai have access to the largest datasets in a specific vertical or business function and can fine-tune the best model without the need for engineers Enterprise AI startups are companies focused on safely implementing AI for enterprise-specific use cases Enterprises want to know that their data isn't being used to train models; these startups cater to that need Some examples of Enterprise AI startups include: Differentiator: Quick delivery of bespoke models tailored to the customers’ data preventing customer data from use as training models All without the need for engineering resources on the customer side you can see that setting up AI is a difficult decision for GTM teams We’ve created this framework to make it easier to choose which type of vendor works for your company and your specific AI use case Below we’ll cover how to use this framework it’s important to understand what the different axes mean Engineer constraints: The constraints that exist in your organization in terms of the engineers that work on this issue High constraints mean you can’t dedicate engineers to this problem.Customer-specific AI: The need to customize the AI to your own data and the use case you’re trying to solve High customer-specific AI means you need a high level of customization The engineering zone is best for problems that are a core operation for the company. Companies are normally willing to dedicate internal engineering resources.  They will have a need for customization and privacy, as it’s how they differentiate from their competitors. In this case, you use LLMs to build your own AI models You ensure zero data-privacy risk by hosting it and fast maintenance by dedicating an engineering team to the model Examples of uses for the engineering zone:  The SaaS zone is best for problems that aren’t part of the core operation of the company and for which you can’t invest engineering resources the data that’s part of these problems isn’t critical or high-risk you can work with a SaaS provider that has a “megamodel” trained by all customer data The benefit here is that the provider has data about other companies and you don’t have to invest engineering resources – you just contract the software with the AI features monthly or yearly Examples of use cases for the SaaS zone:  The partnership zone is the best for processes that may not be the main focus of the company so you don’t have engineering availability These procedures may have specific company needs (because of privacy or complexities) that require customization and not just generic models By partnering with an enterprise-ready startup you get the power of fast execution while keeping data private and saving resources Examples of use cases for the partnership zone: they can’t dedicate engineers to their brand or marketing teams customer-specific startup with AI for marketing would be the best move for these brands The danger zone is where companies can find themselves if they don’t adapt to the exponential change of AI that’s happened in the past year Being in the danger zone means you’re investing time and money in engineers to create a model that you don’t own so your data may be used across multiple clients.  This used to be common as machine learning (ML) models required a lot of training and fine-tuning to solve a problem and providers needed huge amounts of data to be successful it was common to pay for AI providers that had an in-house team of ML engineers training the algorithms but the data and the model belonged to the service-provider not to the company that was buying the AI software it doesn’t make sense to be in the danger zone from an AI strategy perspective change providers or push them to deliver AI models in a way that doesn’t require you to pay for engineering resources You should be out of this zone for any AI process in your company AI and the ecosystem of problems and companies surrounding it are evolving exponentially so while we tried to summarize everything in a simple framework there are other variables that are also relevant in order to make decisions Even though generative AI commoditizes a lot of aspects of AI building a solution is different than implementing a technology We’ve seen a common question being asked to AI providers these days: “Why is this different from what I can do with ChatGPT/ Open AI?” We wanted to point out that the difference doesn’t necessarily come from a technology perspective What’s a true advantage is if your AI vendor is thinking about the problem you’re trying to solve 24/7 and therefore has the best solution or product.  A lot of times customers are pushing to implement AI but it’s good to take a step back and understand what the problem you’re trying to solve is and what’s the best approach before investing thousands or millions of dollars Be at the forefront of everything AI-related when you subscribe to our monthly newsletter, G2 Tea.  Large language models (LLMs) understand and generate human-like text The traditional one-size-fits-all methods of books and..

The exhibition opens with a private view on Thursday 22 May at 9.30pm and continues until 13 September 2014. This exhibition presents photographic works from 2014 and a video work from 2007 which has never been shown in Portugal. Pavel Rodriguez", who recently interviewed the artist about this exhibition, states that ‘these works demonstrate that, for João Penalva, there is nothing in the world that cannot become material for work, just as, for John Cage, there was no sound on earth that couldn't become an idea for a composition.' ‘All these works are scrupulously real in scale, as if there were a forensic intention in depicting situations so ordinary that they are normally invisible to all who now recognise them. Is this the task of the artist: to shake us out of our distraction, enabling us to discover that life is more interesting than we thought?' ‘There are also images of decrepit cactuses in Lisbon, with names carved into them. The fact that someone has inscribed names and initials on such a fragile support is a moving manifestation of the ephemerality of a moment compared with its remembrance. They are nostalgic images - small-format black and white photographs, from which all trace of contemporaneity has been removed.' ‘Similarly, watching the simple filmed image of a ray of light, which becomes confused with the beam from the projector that makes the image visible, we lose ourselves in enjoyment of a dance of specks of dust which, as a result of a decisive authorial gesture by the artist, lasts for exactly four minutes.' Pavel Rodriguez also states that ‘the photographic act, in Penalva's work, always anticipates a fictionalisation of the image'. In response, Penalva says ‘these images are images of the original image. It is the printing method that redefines them as images which have forgotten their strictly documentary origin. That is the fiction.' Pavel Rodriguez is a writer and art critic. He lives in Mexico City.
