Three years ago today, in Sri Lanka, a combative crowd stormed the Presidential Palace, the Presidential Secretariat, and the prime minister's residence, forcing the president to flee the country.
The struggle is far from over in Sri Lanka, just as it is far from over in the US.
But it's important to remember that when we fight, we can win.

The table shows the differences in peak discharge and volume between observed and modeled values, with highlighted text emphasizing the differences in peak discharge at the quarter scale, which range between 17% and 27%.
The highlighted text in the image states: "The differences in peak discharge at the quarter scale range between 17% and 27% and, therefore, exceed the differences between observed and modeled peak runoff for all events. Predicted changes in peak runoff associated to changes in tree coverage therefore clearly exceed the inaccuracy of predicting model discharge by an order of magnitude. The values are highest for events 2 (27%) and 1 (25%), while they are lower but still in the order of 15–20% for events 3 and 4. Likewise, changes in volume reach up to 17% for event 2 if trees are not included. Similar values are reached for event 1 and 4 (15%), and for event 3 (11%). These rates of change demonstrate that the coverage of trees, though no dominant land use fraction, is important for reducing water during heavy rainfall events. The average tree-scale values are remarkable: Peak runoff is reduced by 0.139 ± 0.033 l/s for all events. Even though the corresponding contribution of reducing peak runoff is small (~0.04%), the average value of 0.139 ± 0.033 l/s is still a tangible result. In terms of volume, the relative contribution for each tree is also small (~0.02%). However, the average difference in volume computed (631 l) is still the value one expects from just considering maximum interception capacity: the average projected area of an average tree amounts to 439.5 l of intercepted water for each tree (439.5 l · 611 trees = 268,535 l for all 611 trees). This is an interception capacity yields up to 10 mm."

The image shows a terminal window with a command line interface. The terminal is running a command that appears to be related to a CAPTCHA solver, specifically a tool named "simd-mcaptcha." The command includes options such as "-profile-mt," "-n-threads 32," "-difficulty 6," and "-speed." The output of the command displays various performance metrics, including rates in "rp/s" (requests per second) and "GH/s" (gigahashes per second), with values ranging from 0 to 80. The terminal is running on a system with the username "yume" and the hostname "tsubasa." The background of the terminal is dark, and the text is in a light color, making it easy to read. The command is interrupted with a SIGINT signal, as indicated by the "(SIGINT)" in the command prompt.

The image displays a command-line output from a computational process, specifically related to a double block solver used in solving cryptographic puzzles, likely for mining purposes. The output includes timestamps and performance metrics, such as time taken to solve the puzzle and the hash rate in MH/s (megahashes per second). The text is organized in a tabular format, with each row representing a separate instance of the solver's performance. The first column shows the time taken to solve the puzzle, ranging from 0.010 to 0.292 seconds. The second column displays the difficulty of the puzzle, with values like 16757169581855927515305344. The third column shows the hash rate, with values such as 78.08 MH/s and 64.85 MH/s. The fourth column contains a sequence of numbers, likely representing the solution to the puzzle. The output is consistent with the format used in cryptocurrency mining software, where the solver's performance is tracked over time.
