But it did not happen in a vacuum. We look at how an online ecosystem of anti-Muslim hate across the West — from the very top and across the media — has provoked harassment and growing deadly violence against Muslims.

Kyle M Shannon liked thisKyle M Shannon liked this🏍️ When You’re Determined to Achieve Your Dream! 🛣️ When people look at extraordinary success stories, they often focus on the final result… The achievement. The recognition. The moment the world finally notices. What they often don’t see is the determination, sacrifice, setbacks, and relentless belief that happened long before anyone was paying attention. The attached video referencing the story of Burt Munro is a powerful reminder of what can happen when someone refuses to give up on their dream, no matter how unrealistic it may seem to others. Working from a small garden shed in New Zealand, Burt spent years modifying an old motorcycle by hand, often using homemade parts and limited resources. Most people would have seen obstacles… He saw possibility. Despite his age, limited finances, and countless challenges, he remained completely committed to his vision of breaking world speed records. Eventually, through persistence, innovation, and belief in himself, he achieved something that many thought was impossible. There is an important lesson in this for business and life. You do not need perfect circumstances to pursue your goals. You do not need unlimited resources. And you certainly do not need everyone else to believe in you before you start. What you do need is determination. Because dreams are rarely achieved overnight. They are built through consistency, resilience, learning, adaptation, and the willingness to keep moving forward even when progress feels slow. Many successful entrepreneurs, business owners, athletes, and innovators were doubted long before they were celebrated. The difference is… They kept going. Sometimes the greatest breakthroughs happen because someone was simply determined enough not to quit. 👉 Tell us about your weekend ride in the comments below 👇 ♻️ Repost to help your network grow. ♻️ Follow Me, Derick Mildred for More LinkedIn for Business Tips & a Daily Dose of Inspiration. 🎥Used under Fair Use Act.

Kyle M Shannon liked thisThis is my team at Zainar, we are excited!Kyle M Shannon liked thisLast week we shared that ZaiNar had emerged from nine years of stealth. Today we’re sharing what we built. We’re announcing commercial availability of the first 5G location system that delivers sub-10cm accuracy using only the connectivity signals devices already transmit. Ranges up to 1.5 kilometers. Zero additional battery drain. No device software required. Here’s why this is a big deal for the telecom industry: carriers have invested billions in 5G infrastructure globally. With ZaiNar, those networks can now deliver highly accurate positioning services across every connected device - dramatically increasing the utility and ROI of those investments. Location services can be worth more than the connectivity itself. Our technology uses SRS - the connectivity signal every device transmits to maintain its network connection - and processes it at the network level. The result is sub-10cm positioning that works indoors, outdoors, through walls, on as little as 10 MHz of spectrum. This turns 5G from a faster pipe into genuine infrastructure for Physical AI - and it’s deployed and operating today across healthcare, construction, logistics, and smart cities. With MWC next week, we have much more to share. https://lnkd.in/ghVhYXvt #ZaiNar #5G #PhysicalAI #noGPS #MWC2026

Kyle M Shannon liked thisKyle M Shannon liked thisMe, Jiaying Chen, and Arihant Jain just won the Multi-Agent Systems Challenge at SanD Hacks hosted by CSE Society at UCSD. In 24 hours we built AgntCity Times - A no-human-in-the-loop AI News Agency that scrapes, summarizes, and creates articles on the top communities on MoltBook (the platform by and for AI Agents). It then presents this to you in a NYT-style format. A little bit about what we learnt: - We first explored the AGNTCY system created by AGNTCY | A Linux Foundation Project, learning intently about how A2A Architecture across NATS/SLIM systems work. - We then investigated how supervisor-worker architecture works, and what core components of our MCP Server should look like. The hackathon helped things like A2A, MCP, and supervisor-worker architecture go from buzzwords I heard about to architectures that I can execute with! The Tech Stack we used: - Frontend: Typescript, React+Vite, Tailwind - Backend: Python+FastAPI, LangGraph, A2A SDK, MCP SDK. - Transport: A2A over NATS message bus. - Infra: Docker for local orchestration; observability with OpenTelemetry, Clickhouse, Grafana A huge thank you to the judges for the award - Sujata Tibrewala, John Parello, Darren Pan-Yuen Lau, and Shridhar Shah! for everyone out there that wants to read more: - Github Repository - https://lnkd.in/gtHwgJKT - Devpost Link - https://lnkd.in/gjc95ZcE -- Hi! I'm Varun. I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Science in Data Science at UCSD, and I'm actively on the lookout for FTO starting May 2026. If you or someone you know needs a Data Scientist (but more importantly, a person that likes to think deeply about problems and optimize for them), I'd love to connect!

Kyle M Shannon liked thisKyle M Shannon liked thisInvesting in the Future at Camp Pendleton The image below tells the story. On the left: the aging Haborsite Inn at Del Mar Beach. On the right: the future — a new 180-room, resort-style Inns of the Corps hotel rising on the same site. The new property will include 160 rooms supporting official travel and 20 two-bedroom resort-style villas — giving active duty Marines, families, and authorized patrons a place to rest, relax, and recharge along the Del Mar coastline. This is more than a construction project. It’s a quality-of-life investment. And the beauty of the MCCS model? Proceeds are reinvested directly back into the Marine Corps community we serve — not distributed to shareholders. Modern facilities. Mission support. Community reinvestment. #MCCS #InnsOfTheCorps #CampPendleton #QualityOfLife #InvestingInMarines #Leadership

Portable Conduction Velocity Experiments using Earthworms for the College and High School Neuroscience Teaching Lab
Advances in Physiology Education
The earthworm is ideal for studying action potential conduction velocity in a classroom setting, as the simple linear anatomy allows easy axon length measurements, and the worm's sparse coding allows single action potentials to be easily identified. The earthworm has two giant fiber systems (the lateral and medial) with different conduction velocities that can be easily measured by manipulating the electrode placement and tactile stimulus. We here present a portable and robust experimental…
The earthworm is ideal for studying action potential conduction velocity in a classroom setting, as the simple linear anatomy allows easy axon length measurements, and the worm's sparse coding allows single action potentials to be easily identified. The earthworm has two giant fiber systems (the lateral and medial) with different conduction velocities that can be easily measured by manipulating the electrode placement and tactile stimulus. We here present a portable and robust experimental setup that allows students to perform conduction velocity measurements within a 30 minute - 1 hour lab session. Our improvement over this well-known preparation is the combination of behaviorally relevant tactile stimuli (avoiding electrical stimulation) with the invention of minimal, low-cost, and portable equipment. We tested these experiments during workshops in both a high school and college classroom environment and found positive learning outcomes comparing pre- and post-tests taken by the students.

I was loyal to my old AI stack until one month with Claude made my manuscript, grant, and code workflow feel painfully outdated. I had built Projects, custom GPTs, and workflows inside ChatGPT. The switching cost felt too high. But with Claude Projects, Cowork, and Claude Code, things changed fast. Here's every Claude feature that matters for researchers (in plain English): 1️⃣ Chat - Your everyday thinking partner. - Use it for writing, analysis, and decisions. Example: “I have a cohort study with 3 aims. Aim 2 contradicts Aim 1. Help me write a Discussion that addresses this without weakening the paper.” 2️⃣ Extended Thinking - Step-by-step reasoning before answering. - Best for analytic decisions, debugging, and complex reviewer responses. 3️⃣ API - Build custom tools and workflows. - Useful for teams (e.g., chart review, abstract screening). 4️⃣ Artifacts - Live code, tables, and visuals in chat. - Generate diagrams or scripts ready to use in R/Python. 5️⃣ Cowork - Desktop agent for multi-step tasks. - Batch PDFs, organize references, extract data. 6️⃣ Claude in Chrome - Browsing agent. - Pull structured data from ClinicalTrials(dot)gov or abstracts. 7️⃣ Claude Code - Terminal-based coding agent. - Best for Python workflows (R users → Chat + Projects). 8️⃣ Connectors - Link Drive, Notion, Slack. - No more copy-pasting. 9️⃣ Skills - Reusable instruction packs. - One for reviewer responses. One for Methods. One for summaries. 🔟 Projects - Persistent workspaces with files + instructions. - Create one per manuscript. Keep everything in context. Where to start Week 1: → Create a Project for your manuscript → Upload key files + add 2–3 instructions Week 2+: → Turn repeat tasks into Skills → Connect your tools After a month: → Try Claude Code or Cowork Start with one feature. Use it on real work. Then expand. 💬 Which of these are you already using, and which ones are new to you? — If this resonated, repost to your network ♻️ and follow Paras Karmacharya, MD MS for more. — 📌 Deep dives on my newsletter.
