WASHINGTON – A pesar de que los gobiernos de América Latina y el Caribe han tomado medidas generosas e innovadoras para lidiar con el desplazamiento forzado desde Venezuela y más recientemente desde Nicaragua, la cálida bienvenida se ha enfriado en algunos lugares a medida que el número de entradas, la presión sobre los servicios públicos y la preocupación del público aumenta.

The dangers of a noisy ocean -- and how we can quiet it down | Nicola Jones

The ocean is a naturally noisy place full of singing whales, grunting fish, snapping shrimp, cracking ice, wind and rain. But human-made sounds -- from ship engines to oil drilling -- have become an acute threat to marine life, says science journalist Nicola Jones. Watch (and listen) as she discusses the strange things that happen to underwater creatures in the face of ocean noise pollution -- and shares straightforward ways we can dial down the sound to see almost immediate impacts.

'Slap Shot' still iconic in hockey despite sport's changes

A few nights after one of their players was injured by a dirty hit, the Johnstown Jets plotted to exact some revenge on Buffalo's Greg Neeld. An all-out brawl broke out during warmups and the North American Hockey League game was postponed, much to the dismay of ownership and presumably the fans at a sold-out War Memorial Arena. It just so happened that director George Roy Hill was in the arena that night, cameras rolling.

Reliability estimation in a multicomponent stress-strength model for Burr XII distribution under progressive censoring

Raj Kamal Maurya, Yogesh Mani Tripathi.

Source: Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics, Volume 34, Number 2, 345--369.

Abstract:
We consider estimation of the multicomponent stress-strength reliability under progressive Type II censoring under the assumption that stress and strength variables follow Burr XII distributions with a common shape parameter. Maximum likelihood estimates of the reliability are obtained along with asymptotic intervals when common shape parameter may be known or unknown. Bayes estimates are also derived under the squared error loss function using different approximation methods. Further, we obtain exact Bayes and uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimates of the reliability for the case common shape parameter is known. The highest posterior density intervals are also obtained. We perform Monte Carlo simulations to compare the performance of proposed estimates and present a discussion based on this study. Finally, two real data sets are analyzed for illustration purposes.
