Rooibos tea, also known as red bush tea, is a popular herbal tea that is native to South Africa. It is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, which is found only in the Western Cape region of South Africa.

The plant grows in a microclimate where it is exposed to a combination of hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters, which gives it its distinctive flavor and aroma. It is used in cooking and baking, and can be found in a variety of products, including desserts, skincare products, and even beer.

EU protection for Rooibos tea is good news for South African agriculture

ABSTRACT: At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, we are witnessing a fast and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily life, which contributes to accelerating the shift towards a more algorithmic society. However, even with such unprecedented advancements, a key impediment to the use of AI-based systems is that they often lack transparency. Indeed, the black-box nature of these systems allows powerful predictions, but it cannot be directly explained. This issue has triggered a new debate on explainable AI (XAI). A research field holds substantial promise for improving trust and transparency of AI-based systems. It is recognized as the sine qua non for AI to continue making steady progress without disruption. This survey provides an entry point for interested researchers and practitioners to learn key aspects of the young and rapidly growing body of research related to XAI. Through the lens of the literature, we review the existing approaches regarding the topic, discuss trends surrounding its sphere, and present major research trajectories.

H.R. 7495: Empowering Learners through Competency-Based Education

“But what is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” — James Madison, Federalist 51

Content Management Systems | WordPress

WordPress is a popular open-source content management system (CMS) used for creating websites and blogs. It was first released in 2003 and has since become one of the most widely used website-building platforms in the world. WordPress is known for its ease of use, flexibility, and a vast ecosystem of plugins and themes that extend its functionality and design options. It’s often used by both beginners and experienced developers to build websites of various types, from simple blogs to complex e-commerce sites and corporate web applications.

When it comes to coding standards in WordPress, there are several key points to consider:

WordPress Coding Standards: WordPress has its own set of coding standards that developers are encouraged to follow. These standards cover aspects like indentation, naming conventions, and best practices. Adhering to these standards makes it easier for multiple developers to collaborate on a project and helps ensure the long-term maintainability of your code.
Security: WordPress developers should follow security best practices to protect websites from vulnerabilities and attacks. This includes practices like data validation, escaping output, and regular updates to plugins, themes, and the core WordPress software.
Performance: Efficient code is important for website speed and user experience. Developers should optimize their code, use caching, and minimize database queries to ensure the site loads quickly.
SEO Best Practices: Developers should follow SEO (Search Engine Optimization) best practices when building WordPress sites. This includes using clean, semantic HTML, optimizing images, and ensuring mobile responsiveness.
Accessibility: Building accessible websites is essential to ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, can access and use your site. WordPress has made efforts to make its core software more accessible, and developers are encouraged to follow accessibility guidelines.
Plugin and Theme Development: If you’re developing plugins or themes for WordPress, there are specific guidelines to follow. These ensure consistency, compatibility, and security. For instance, the WordPress Plugin Handbook and Theme Developer Handbook provide detailed information on best practices.
Documentation: Good documentation is important for the maintainability of your code. WordPress developers are encouraged to provide clear and detailed documentation for their themes and plugins.
Version Control: Utilizing version control systems like Git is common for WordPress development to track changes, collaborate with other developers, and maintain code integrity.
Community Involvement: WordPress has a strong and active community. Engaging with this community, attending WordCamps, and contributing to open-source projects can help you stay updated with the latest best practices and standards.
