Bad turnover from Ecuador. I thought Tillman was off on Tessmann’s pass, but he looked level on the replay. It was certainly close! Nice find of Balogun, who deserved a goal for his dynamism tonight. 1-1.

Geolog-IA: Conversational System for Academic Theses
This study presents the development of Geolog-IA, a novel conversational system based on artificial intelligence that responds naturally to questions about geology theses from the Central University of Ecuador. Our proposal uses the Llama 3.1 and Gemini 2.5 language models, which are complemented by a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture and an SQLite database. This strategy allows us to overcome problems such as hallucinations and outdated knowledge. The evaluation of Geolog-IA's …

As Amazon's 'flying rivers' weaken with tree loss, scientists warn of worsening droughts
Droughts have withered crops in Peru, fires have scorched the Amazon and hydroelectric dams in Ecuador have struggled to keep the lights on as rivers dry up.
