With Apple's next-generation Mac operating system expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference in June, AppleInsider looks at possible names the company might choose for its follow-up to the OS X versions dubbed Yosemite and Mavericks.

What's in a name? In the case of Apple's OS X, for years it was represented by big cats, ranging from Leopard to Lion.

But as Apple began to dig deep into the feline family tree with names like Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion, it switched to famous California locations, starting with the release of OS X 10.9 Mavericks two years ago. That name refers to the legendary surfing spot located in Northern California.

Apple's 2014 follow-up was dubbed Yosemite, a nod to the iconic U.S. National Park that calls the Golden State home.

With WWDC set to kick off on June 8, Apple has already said it plans to show "the future" of both OS X and iOS at the event. That means we'll probably get to see OS X 10.11, along with the choice of a new California landmark.

Some of California's most famous spots seem unlikely to make the cut for an OS X release. For example, Alcatraz and its role as a maximum security federal prison would not be suitable for a consumer electronics product lineup that aims to be friendly and approachable.

Similarly, the name San Andreas, in reference to the earthquake-prone fault line that runs through California, would likely give the impression of a crash-prone, unreliable operating system. And Death Valley, while beautiful, has not only a morbid name but an association with barren, dry lands.

In the realm of actually viable names, Apple may already have tipped its hand last year: The company has already filed for trademarks on names referring to a well-known city or geographic figure in California. They are:

OS X Sequoia
OS X Mojave
OS X Sonoma
OS X Ventura

The registrations, and names already used, suggest that virtually any feature, city or location in California is considered fair game for future OS X branding. With that in mind, here are some other options that Apple could choose:

OS X Cupertino: Perhaps the most obvious choice for Apple is its home city, where the company's headquarters is located, and where its Campus 2 "spaceship" facility is rapidly approaching completion.

The Golden Gate Bridge, via Wikipedia.

OS X Golden Gate: San Francisco's world-famous Golden Gate Bridge would make an excellent name for an OS X release, evoking thoughts of an impressive architectural feat, as well as an iconic design.

The Hollywood sign, via Wikipedia.

OS X Hollywood: Located within Los Angeles, the glitz and glamour of the home of the motion picture industry would be appropriate for a big and flashy update to OS X.

Vineyards in Napa Valley, via Wikipedia.

OS X Napa: California's Napa Valley is one of the premier wine regions in the world, and the name immediately conjures up images of high-class and good taste —two traits Apple would undoubtedly love to associate with a new Mac operating system release.

Ski slopes near Lake Tahoe, via Wikipedia.

OS X Tahoe: This name is particularly interesting because of an iOS connection: Codenames for Apple's iOS have been based on ski resorts, and both iOS 1.02 Heavenly and iOS 3.0 Kirkwood are named after resorts located near California's Lake Tahoe.

Redwood National Forest, via Wikipedia.

OS X Redwood: The tall trees of California's Redwood National Park stand strong and beautiful, which could symbolize the lasting power of Apple's robust OS X framework.

Long Beach, Calif., via Wikipedia.

OS X Long Beach (or Hermosa, or Venice, Malibu, or Pebble): Synonymous with sun, fun and style, California's Long Beach would imply a "cool" factor for OS X. Other famous beaches could also be OS X candidates, such as the origins of skateboarding in Hermosa Beach, the tourist-friendly sands of Venice Beach or Malibu, or the stunning PGA golf course at Pebble Beach.

The Big Sur coast, via Wikipedia.

OS X Big Sur: One of the most scenic driving routes on Earth, California's Big Sur is filled with dramatic visuals along the coast of the Pacific Ocean that, if nothing else, would make for gorgeous default wallpaper in a new OS X release.

“Earth’s Second Sun” –China’s Fusion Future, the Holy Grail of Unlimited Energy’ (Weekend Feature)

Posted on Apr 28, 2019

On March 19, 2109 The Galaxy reported that China was close to launching its “artificial sun” promising a future of ‘limitless clean energy –a Chinese “Green New Deal”. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion emits no greenhouse gases and carries less risk of accidents or the theft of atomic material.

Sometimes called an “artificial sun” for the sheer heat and power it produces, China’s doughnut-shaped Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) that juts out on a spit of land into a lake in eastern Anhui province, has notched up a succession of firsts, reports AFP. Officials announced that the machine which will hold the ‘artificial sun’, called the HL-2M Tokamak, could be built this year using nuclear fusion in which hydrogen from sea water and readily available lithium is heated to more than 150 million°C.

The current Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in Hefei has created temperatures as hot as the interior of the sun. In November, it became the first facility in the world to generate 100 million degrees Celsius (212 million Fahrenheit)—six times as hot as the sun’s core. These mind-boggling temperatures are crucial to achieving sustainable nuclear fusion reactions, which promise an inexhaustible energy source.

“The artificial sun’s plasma is mainly composed of electrons and ions and the country’s existing Tokamak devices have achieved an electron temperature of over 100 million degrees C in its core plasma, and an ion temperature of 50 million C, and it is the ion that generates energy in the device,” said Dr Duan Xuru, an official at the China National Nuclear Corporation, according to China’s Global Times.

HL-2M Tokamak is expected to increase the electricity intensity from one mega amperes to three mega amperes, an important step to achieve nuclear fusion, a spokesperson surnamed Liu with the press office of the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP), affiliated with China National Nuclear Corporation, told the Global Times.

For instance, the deuterium (also known as heavy hydrogen) extracted from one liter of seawater releases the energy equivalent of burning 300 liters of gasoline in a complete fusion reaction, Liu said.

The “artificial sun” aims to release nuclear fusion in the same way as the sun by using deuterium and tritium (radioactive hydrogen-3), and finally generate electricity. It is clean energy that will not generate waste, which makes it ideal for people to use in the future, Liu said.

El pueblo itonama recordó los 299 años de fundación de Santa María Magdalena, una de las principales obras de los jesuitas encabezada por el padre Gabriel Ruiz allá por el año 1720.

El programa de festejos se inició el 7 de julio con el saludo a la aurora y repique de campanas en honor a la virgen del Carmen, se inició también la novena de la sagrada imagen.

El 8 de julio se realizó el desfile cívico de Magdalena y sus instituciones conmemorando los 157 años de creación de la provincia Iténez. Todo siguiendo un orden en materia de organización, mismo que caracteriza a los habitantes de esta prodigiosa y progresiva tierra colorada.

Resumiendo las actividades esenciales, el 19 de julio se ofreció un desayuno campestre y presentación de los animales elite que fueron ofrecidos en el remate denominado “La Ganadería Pasión de un Pueblo”, cabalgata ecuestre por las principales calles de la población, luego el desarrollo del décimo primer remate elite con participación de varias cabañas, tanto del Beni como de Santa Cruz.

El 20 de julio se realizó “El Día de la Tradición Itonama”, acto cívico en conmemoración a los 299 años de fundación de Magdalena, la Feria Tradicional del Chocolate, en la plaza principal, desfile de teas y actividades deportivas en la disciplina de basquetbol.

El 21 de julio, se cumplió otra jornada importante con la feria del chocolate y el chapunato, entrada folklórica a cargo de las unidades educativas en instituciones públicas y privadas, solemnidad y misa de velatorio a la Santa Patrona María Magdalena, fiesta de gala y coronación de la Tiyaya (señorita) y Mipi’i (niña) en idioma itonama.

El 22 de julio, día principal, se realizó el saludo a la aurora, parada del palo encebau a cargo del Cabildo Indigenal y pueblo en general, solemne misa y procesión en honor a la patrona Santa María Magdalena, sesión de honor y reconocimiento a personas destacadas de la población en el salón de honor del Concejo Municipal, almuerzo de confraternidad, montado y jocheo de toros.

El alcalde José Luis Añez Roca sostuvo que a los itonamas los guía el entendimiento de que la siembra de hoy, será la cosecha del mañana.

Manifestó que Magdalena, se ha convertido en un municipio modelo del departamento, pero que todavía falta mucho por hacer. Reafirmó, por ello, su sentido de pertenencia, para hacer realidad la gran promesa de que todos los habitantes son iguales, valientes ante los desafíos, porque solo así, serán dueños de su historia, misma que es el reflejo de sus propias aspiraciones y esfuerzos.

Magdalena es la capital de la provincia Iténez, ubicada a la orilla oeste del río Itonama y está a una distancia de 300 km de la capital Trinidad. El 2007 recibió el título de “pueblo turístico”, por sus hermosos ríos (Blanco y San Martin, donde se realizan diversas actividades de paseo, pesca deportiva y otras.

Entre el 11 y 15 de septiembre de cada año se realiza la Feria del Pescado en Bella Vista donde se acoge a gran cantidad de personas de diferentes latitudes. La zona se constituye en la mayor productora de madera, almendra amazónica, chocolate, producción de ganado y pesca.
