Hottest Februarys in California since 1895

In 2022, the continental United States experienced its third hottest July since 1895, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, while 20 states saw one of their 10 hottest days in the same month. The year prior, July marked the hottest month on record worldwide.

Climate change is driving rising temperatures and more record heat. The Earth’s temperature has climbed each decade since 1880 by about .14 degrees Fahrenheit, or roughly 2 degrees Fahrenheit total.

Stacker compiled a ranking of the hottest Februarys in California since 1895 using data from the National Centers for Environmental Information. Rankings are based on the highest average temperature in each month. For each of the hottest months listed below, we’ve included the average state temperature, state-wide highs and lows for the month, and the total precipitation.

MEMRI Report Released for International Holocaust Remembrance Day – Confronting AI's Role in Antisemitism and the Distortion of Holocaust Memory

By Media News

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / A report by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), authored by MEMRI Executive Director Steven Stalinsky, Ph.D., was published to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27. In it, Dr. Stalinsky warned that 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust memory now faces a threat its witnesses could not have imagined: artificial intelligence.

The report was released as part of its ongoing cutting-edge research by the MEMRI Violent Extremism Threat Monitor (VETM) project. This project tracks the online activity of neo-Nazis and violent extremists, briefs government, law enforcement, and media, and provides information to authorities that has led to arrests.

This latest report "On International Holocaust Remembrance Day – Confronting AI’s Role In Antisemitism And The Distortion Of Holocaust Memory" documents how AI tools are being used to generate and amplify Holocaust distortion and denial, to create new and attractive forms of antisemitic propaganda, and to incite to violence at an unprecedented scale – modernizing Nazi-era narratives and disseminating them more quickly than ever before, particularly among younger audiences. It also calls for the urgent establishment of a working group/task force comprising leading Holocaust research and memorial institutions and AI experts to tackle this issue.

As Dr. Stalinsky writes: "On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, ongoing partnerships with Holocaust research institutions, memorial organizations, and leading scholars of antisemitism must form the foundation of the working group called for in this study. That group should be tasked with developing concrete, enforceable standards to address the misuse of AI in distorting and denying Nazism and the Holocaust. This must include establishing independent, mandatory auditing and certification mechanisms for AI systems; requiring continuous red-team testing focused specifically on Holocaust denial, Nazi glorification, and antisemitic historical falsification; and defining clear prohibitions against the use of AI for synthetic historical falsification related to genocide and mass atrocity."

He concludes the report by underlining the vital need to address this normalization of antisemitism: "Working in coordination, these measures must be paired with meaningful transparency through public reporting on detection, enforcement outcomes, and systemic failures. Together, these steps are essential to restoring trust, closing the gap between assurances and reality, and ensuring that AI technologies do not become instruments for the erosion of historical truth or the normalization of antisemitism."

The VETM recently published Part II of a major series on this topic: Neo-Nazis And White Supremacists Globally Look To Artificial Intelligence To Promote Their Message, Spread Misinformation, And Aid Their Cause.

How to Rank First in AI Search: Trustpoint Xposure Explains Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

By Media News
2 min read • Published February 9, 2026

2 min read • Published February 9, 2026

Why Answer Engine Optimization Determines Which Sources AI Selects, Trusts, and Cites

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / As AI assistants replace traditional search results with direct answers, organizations are asking a new question: how do you rank first in AI search when there is only one answer?

According to Trustpoint Xposure, ranking in AI search is determined less by keyword position and more by Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), a methodology focused on how AI systems evaluate trust, authority, and citation eligibility.

AI models do not rank pages in the traditional sense. Instead, they select sources based on entity consistency, structured clarity, historical citation reliability, and contextual trust signals. Organizations that lack these signals may be excluded from AI answers even if they perform well in conventional search rankings.

Trustpoint Xposure explained that its AEO Certification Framework formalizes this process by defining measurable standards for AI visibility. Under the framework, ranking first in AI search requires validation across multiple dimensions, including content structure optimized for direct answers, entity authority reinforced through media placement, and sustained citation performance over time.

The firm emphasized that AEO differs fundamentally from SEO. While SEO optimizes for links and rankings, AEO optimizes for answer selection. This includes how information is attributed, how entities are represented across platforms, and whether AI systems consistently trust the source.

Organizations seeking to rank first in AI search must therefore focus on becoming the most reliable, clearly structured, and consistently validated answer source for a given topic. Trustpoint Xposure‘s AEO-certified methodology integrates content architecture, entity authority, and AI-optimized media placement to support that goal.

The standards used to assess AEO capability and ranking eligibility are documented within the Trustpoint Xposure AEO Certification Framework.

Here’s the exclusive first look at the new Noah’s Ark movie remake – The Flood: End of Mankind – is building excitement in the faith-based community as the film’s trailer was released this past Friday. Pastors across denominations are embracing the only remake of Noah’s Ark that strives to stay true and honor God in every scene.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / The new Noah’s Ark movie remake – The Flood: End of Mankind – is building excitement in the faith-based community as the film’s trailer was released this past Friday. Pastors across denominations are embracing the only remake of Noah’s Ark that strives to stay true and honor God in every scene.

The epic film’s trailer can be viewed here:

The large-scale production looks at the final three days leading up to the great flood that destroyed the entire earth as outlined in The Book of Genesis in the Bible.

One pastor who viewed the trailer said, "Incredible. This movie needs to be seen by the entire world as I believe we’re in the final days before the Lord’s return."

Another pastor said, "Finally a Noah’s Ark movie done right that will wake up the sleeping church about the end times."

The film’s trailer will be premiered at the largest faith-based convention in Nashville before advanced screenings begin in April/May/June 2026 across the country.

The film will release nationwide in theaters starting October 2, 2026.

Kevin Sorbo plays Noah and according to the producers ‘hit his role out of the park’.

"We’re so excited the film is hitting on all cylinders," says a spokesperson for the film. "Kevin did a magnificent job playing Noah and Tim directed the film to ensure every scene emulated the last days before the flood."

Both Sorbo and Chey are sold-out Christians with Chey being a former atheist before finding Christ in a hotel room. Chey is a Harvard alumnus and director of over 18 feature films. Sorbo is a worldwide star of many films and TV shows.

Chey spent over 10 years bring ‘The Flood: End of Mankind’ to fruition. The script was polished every step of the way. Chey was compelled after seeing the previous ‘Noah’ version that he felt did not correctly portray the events in Genesis or honored God.

How to Make Your Voice Sound Like a Leader

Capture the sound of success and professionalism in 5 simple steps

woman holding speech bubble sign
By Liz Funk
2 min read • Originally published March 15, 2016 / Updated February 7, 2026

2 min read • Originally published March 15, 2016 / Updated February 7, 2026

You’ve mastered the firm handshake, polished your professional appearance, and perfected your business cards. But what about your voice?

“There is a sound to success, professionalism, and leadership,” says Dr. Lois Frankel, president of Corporate Coaching International. “People who sound successful do things very differently from others.”

Kim Dower, a Los Angeles-based media trainer whose clients have included the CEOs of Starbucks and General Electric, attributes declining verbal communication skills to our reliance on text-based communication.

Here are five strategies to sound more persuasive and authoritative.

1. Use fewer words

“The number one mistake is using too many words when fewer would do,” says Dr. Frankel. “In communication, short sounds confident.”

2. Eliminate uptalk

Uptalk is the habit of ending sentences at a higher pitch, making statements sound like questions. While it feels friendlier, Dower warns it undermines your authority.

“It comes across in business as though you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s consensus-seeking.” Cut it from your speech entirely.

3. Pause for three seconds before responding

“That short pause gives you the opportunity to think,” says Dr. Frankel. “You can ask yourself: What’s the first thing I want to say? What points do I want to make?”

The pause signals that you’re thoughtful and considerate. “When someone gives an immediate response, we often feel they didn’t fully hear us. How could you answer so quickly?”

4. Channel your anxiety into passion

“There’s a difference between feeling nervous and feeling self-conscious,” says Dower. “Nervousness can release adrenaline, which makes you more passionate. Use it to fuel your presentation. Think of it as good energy.”

5. Embrace silence

After you finish speaking, resist the urge to fill the quiet. “When we don’t hear a response right away, we assume something negative,” says Dr. Frankel. “Don’t ascribe negativity to silence.”

Some people need that moment to process, especially if you’ve presented a new idea. Give them space.

Know your audience

The most crucial communication skill? Understanding who you’re speaking to, says Dower. “Are you mentoring someone where you want to relate to them? Or presenting to executives focused on the bottom line? We can adapt our voices based on who we’re talking to.”

A New Immersive Exhibition Opens in Brussels, Exploring Art Through Digital Storytelling

By Media News
4 min read • Published February 7, 2026

4 min read • Published February 7, 2026

BRUSSELS, BE / ACCESS Newswire / February 7, 2026 / A new immersive exhibition has opened in Brussels, introducing a contemporary cultural format that combines digital art, sound, and visual storytelling. The exhibition presents creative content through large-scale projections and spatial design, allowing visitors to experience art in an interactive and sensory environment.

The project forms part of the growing cultural movement of Exposition immersive à Bruxelles, where traditional exhibition models are replaced with digital experiences that focus on atmosphere, emotion, and participation. Instead of observing artworks from a distance, visitors are placed inside evolving visual spaces.

A Contemporary Cultural Format

Immersive exhibitions represent a shift in how culture is presented. Traditional exhibitions rely on physical objects, written explanations, and fixed viewing points. Immersive formats, by contrast, create environments where sound, light, and movement shape the experience.

This new exhibition follows that model by offering digital spaces where artistic themes are communicated through visuals and audio rather than text. The experience is designed to be intuitive, allowing visitors to explore content freely and form personal interpretations.

The exhibition does not focus on a single artist or historical period. Instead, it highlights the possibilities of digital storytelling as a medium for creative expression. This approach reflects changing audience expectations, where emotional engagement and accessibility are valued alongside cultural learning.

As part of the expanding field of Immersive exhibition in Brussels, the project contributes to the city’s evolving cultural identity.

Exhibition Design and Experience

The exhibition is organised into several immersive zones, each designed around abstract artistic themes. These zones are visually connected, creating a continuous journey rather than separate rooms.

Each space uses:

  • Large-scale digital projections

  • Ambient sound and music

  • Soft lighting and colour transitions

The absence of physical artworks allows the experience to remain fluid and adaptable. Walls, floors, and ceilings become part of the artistic environment, creating a sense of movement and depth.

Visitors move through the exhibition at a relaxed pace, without guided routes or strict timelines. This open structure supports personal reflection and encourages visitors to engage with the content emotionally rather than intellectually.

The design focuses on calmness and simplicity, avoiding complex visual effects. This creates an environment that is accessible and suitable for a wide audience.

Role of Digital Technology

Digital technology plays a central role in shaping the exhibition. Video mapping, spatial audio, and lighting systems are used to transform empty spaces into immersive environments.

These tools allow artistic ideas to be expressed without physical materials. Instead of objects, the exhibition uses light and sound as its primary creative elements.

This method supports a modern approach to cultural presentation. Digital tools enable flexibility, allowing content to be updated or adapted without physical reconstruction.

The use of technology also allows for greater inclusivity. Visitors do not need prior knowledge or language skills to understand the exhibition. Visual storytelling and sound design communicate meaning through sensory experience.

This approach reflects broader trends in contemporary culture, where digital art is increasingly used to create emotional and interactive experiences.

Cultural Context in Brussels

Brussels is recognised as an important cultural center in Europe, hosting a wide range of museums, galleries, and creative spaces. In recent years, immersive exhibitions have become a significant part of the city’s cultural landscape.

These exhibitions attract diverse audiences, including families, students, tourists, and cultural professionals. The combination of art and technology allows cultural topics to reach people who may not engage with traditional art institutions.

The growth of immersive exhibitions also reflects changes in cultural consumption. Many visitors now seek experiences that are engaging, reflective, and accessible.

Within this context, the new exhibition strengthens the presence of Exposition immersive à Bruxelles as a key cultural format in the city.

Audience and Accessibility

The immersive exhibition is designed for a broad audience. The content is presented in a neutral and simple way, making it suitable for visitors of all ages.

The experience does not rely on complex text or technical explanations. Visual and audio elements guide the journey, allowing understanding through observation and feeling.

The exhibition space is accessible for wheelchair users, and the calm atmosphere supports visitors seeking quiet cultural activities.

International visitors can also enjoy the exhibition without language barriers, as the experience is primarily visual and sensory.

This inclusive design supports cultural participation across different backgrounds and levels of familiarity with digital art.

Educational and Cultural Value

Although not structured as a formal educational program, the exhibition offers cultural value through experiential learning. Visitors engage with artistic ideas through space, movement, and emotion.

This format supports alternative learning styles, particularly visual and emotional learning. Instead of focusing on information, the exhibition encourages reflection and creative thinking.

Such experiences may also contribute to cultural awareness by introducing new forms of artistic expression. Immersive exhibitions demonstrate how art can evolve beyond physical objects into shared environments.

The exhibition, therefore, contributes to ongoing discussions about the role of digital art in modern cultural spaces.

About the Immersive Exhibition

The immersive exhibition is a digital cultural project focused on artistic storytelling through visual and sound environments. The experience combines technology and creativity to create spaces where visitors can explore art in a sensory and emotional way.

The project aims to present contemporary art in an accessible format, using immersive design to encourage reflection, creativity, and cultural engagement.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Foundry, one of the world’s leading tech media, data and marketing services companies, today announced the international expansion of Next CIO, its acclaimed leadership development and awards program for rising technology executives. Originally launched in the UK, and following a successful expansion into Australia, Next CIO will now extend its programming to the United States, further strengthening its mission to accelerate the careers of emerging IT leaders worldwide.

Next CIO is a year-round leadership initiative designed to identify and celebrate high-potential technology professionals on the path toward senior executive roles such as CIO, CTO, or CDO. The program combines recognition with career advancement opportunities, helping participants build the strategic capabilities, visibility, and professional networks required to step into future C-suite technology leadership positions.

Central to the initiative is its annual awards celebration, which shines a spotlight on rising technology leaders who are already driving meaningful innovation and measurable business impact. Award recipients are profiled across CIO.com, elevating their presence within the global IT leadership community.

Beyond the awards, and country dependent, the program may also include year-round development offerings such as mentoring with established CIOs, executive readiness leadership workshops, and opportunities to engage with a growing peer network of high potential technology leaders.

As the program expands into the United States, Next CIO will be fully integrated into the CIO Leadership Live five-city regional event series, creating new opportunities for emerging leaders to engage with senior CIOs and influential peers. Each region will feature Next CIO networking luncheons and editorial showcases. Participants will also benefit from access to Foundry’s broader portfolio of CIO-focused events, including CIO 100 Awards & Conference, enabling deeper connections with established technology executives and greater exposure to the conversations shaping modern IT leadership. Next CIO award submission deadline in the US is March 31, 2026.

Speaking on the expansion, Romy Tuin, Global Director of Events Content, said:

"We are thrilled to launch the program in the United States as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the CIO community. This initiative provides a powerful opportunity to recognize leaders on a strong path to the technology C-suite, while building a network of future CIOs who can develop, refine, and strengthen the skills needed for executive success."

The global expansion of Next CIO underscores Foundry’s commitment to building a diverse, future-ready pipeline of technology leaders. By bringing the program to the United States, Foundry aims to broaden access to mentorship, reduce barriers to advancement, and support rising talent at a pivotal stage in their leadership journeys.

Next CIO now operates as a unified international framework designed to champion mid-career technology professionals-creating a clear, supported pathway from rising leader to future CIO.

Los Angeles Chargers seasons that exceeded expectations the most

When September rolls around, NFL fans are champing at the bit for the season to start. They’ve already gotten a taste from the preseason, read up on their team’s draft picks, and made predictions about how the season should go with their team’s roster. Adrenaline is high during Week 1 and often doesn’t wear off until Week 18. A tough loss could end in tears, for both the team and its fans.

It’s hard for people who aren’t fanatics to wrap their heads around how a sport could evoke so much emotion, but there’s a psychological explanation for fandom.

For many, a team association ties into self-esteem and identity. It has been proved that people receive a self-esteem boost from associating with successful individuals or groups, which is why fans are more likely to wear team gear the day after a win than the day after a loss, and die-hards speak about team successes in first person and failures in third person. Shared fandom also provides a sense of connection, whether it be with friends who follow the same team or via strangers bonding at a game, and all humans have a need for connectedness.

A Super Bowl win, the pinnacle of the sport, can bring a city together and give fans a personal sense of pride and satisfaction. Conversely, when a team has a particularly disappointing season or loses in the playoffs, it can feel like a gut punch.

Stacker compiled a list featuring the Los Angeles Chargers seasons that most exceeded expectations since 2000 using data from Pro Football Reference. Each season was selected based on the number of wins by which the team overperformed its preseason over/under for that season. Ties were broken via the highest preseason over/under.

#5. Los Angeles Chargers 2024
– Preseason over/under: 9 wins
– Season record: 11-6 (2 games over)

#4. Los Angeles Chargers 2018
– Preseason over/under: 9.5 wins
– Season record: 12-4 (2.5 games over)

#3. Los Angeles Chargers 2009
– Preseason over/under: 10 wins
– Season record: 13-3 (3 games over)

#2. Los Angeles Chargers 2006
– Preseason over/under: 9 wins
– Season record: 14-2 (5 games over)

#1. Los Angeles Chargers 2004
– Preseason over/under: 4.5 wins
– Season record: 12-4 (7.5 games over)
