It is fair to say that we have not seen anything like Colorado superstar Travis Hunter. Sure, there have been players who have played both ways before in football. It was never easy for any one of them and certainly hasn’t been for Hunter. He made it look that way though last season as he won the Heisman Trophy.

Image by Ketut Subiyanto Earning a college degree, especially one that took years of studying, thousands of dollars in tuition, and possibly some soul-searching is supposed to open doors, not lead you into a job you could’ve gotten without even finishing high school.

Mt. Banahaw Before its closure in 2004, Mount Banahaw used to be a significant destination for religious pilgrims and those seeking spiritual experience, healing and miracles, particularly during the Lenten season. For two decades, Banahaw’s peaks, which had been classified as “strict protection zones,” would remain off-limits to pilgrims and trekkers to revive its natural resources. Banahaw is known as the mystic mountain that straddles the municipalities of Lucban, Tayabas, Sariaya, Candelaria and Dolores in Quezon province and parts of Rizal, Nagcarlan, Liliw and Majayjay towns and San Pablo City in Laguna province.

Big Tech companies may not say outright that AI is replacing people, but one tech investor is — and he says two professions, in particular, should watch out. “Big companies talk about, like, ‘AI isn’t replacing people, it’s augmenting them,'” said Victor Lazarte, general partner at venture capital firm Benchmark, on a recent episode of the podcast “The Twenty Minute VC.” “It’s bulls—t,” Lazarte said. “It’s fully replacing people.” Lazarte said that two professions should be especially wary of AI: lawyers and recruiters. He explained that within the next three years, AI will be able to take over the busy…

The player told police that it was his responsibility to fill the home and away water jugs prior to the game from a hose near the field, and he used this as an opportunity…
