Suffolk and MIT published a white paper that tags six interrelated construction processes where AI can spur productivity gains.
The study's authors cite improvements in AI models, the tech's ability to sift through mounds of construction data and economic pressures to adopt AI as the driving forces behind the industry's increasing focus on AI.

SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — A hole-by-hole look at Royal Birkdale, site of the 154th British Open to be played July 16-19:
One of the toughest opening holes in the Open rotation. This requires a tee shot to a fairway that bends to the left. The closer the drive is to the fairway bunker on the left, the better view of the green and angle of attack. The prevailing wind is left-to-right and there is out-of-bounds down the right. Two pot bunkers on either side guard the front of the green.
Two bunkers are to the right side of the fairway nearly 300 yards from the tee, and there is severe mounding up the left side between 250 and 290 yards. It plays into the prevailing wind, and the green is protected by six bunkers and rough-covered banks.
A tee built in the dunes turns this hole into a slight dogleg to the right, and additional bunkers on the left side of the fairway at just over 300 yards makes a partially blind tee shot even tougher. The tee shot should stay on the left side of the fairway to open up the best approach to a green guarded by four pot bunkers.
The par 3 is made even more difficult by a right-to-left prevailing wind and a green that is some 40 yards deep. The green no longer has a bunker across the front so shots can run up to the green. But there are three bunkers to the left and one to the right. Mounds to the right will kick the errant shots away from the greens, making it tough to save par.

A reserve of natural gas bubbling from a cage of ice discovered on the ocean floor to the west of Greenland may be the deepest gas hydrate cold seep on record, and it happens to be teeming with animal life.
The Freya gas hydrate mounds were discovered during the Ocean Census Arctic Deep EXTREME24 expedition, led by researchers from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and other partners. A water column gas flare alerted the researchers to unusual activity deep below their ship, prompting them to send a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to investigate.

How to identify animal tracks, burrows and other signs of wildlife in your neighborhood
Your neighborhood is home to all sorts of amazing animals, from racoons, squirrels and skunks to birds, bugs and snails. Even if you don’t see them, most of these creatures are leaving evidence of their activities all around you.
Paw prints in different shapes and sizes are clues to the visitors who pass through. The shapes of tunnels and mounds in your yard carry the mark of their builders.
Even the stuff animals leave behind, whether ***** or skeletons, tells you something about the wilder side of t
