(Video) G-Dragon Draws Thousands Of Fans To Taipei Restaurant; Meets Up With Jay Chou For Wine
It appears that everywhere G-Dragon (지드래곤) goes, the fans will follow. The singer, who recently completed the Taipei stop of his 'Ubermensch' tour, was spotted at a popular restaurant in Taiwan, which prompted a large crowd to gather in front of the building. The 'POWER' singer recently completed a three-day show at the Taipei Arena in Taipei, Taiwan. Following the conclusion of the concert's final show on 13th July (Sunday), the star headed to the Gold Pig Korean barbeque restaurant for a well-deserved dinner. However, news of the singer dining at the restaurant made its way to fans, who then rushed to gather at the eatery. According to reports, hundreds of fans were already waiting for G-Dragon at the restaurant, even before he finished his performance. After his show ended, even more fans started crowding the building. When the BIGBANG (빅뱅) leader arrived on the scene, the fans cheered, causing a huge commotion. After finishing his meal, G-Dragon appeared once again in front of the waiting fans. As a show of respect, the star took off his hat to bow and wave to the crowd. Fans filled up each corner of the street where the restaurant was. However, security was strict during the night, so there were barriers placed to ensure G-Dragon's safety as he entered and exited the restaurant. The restaurant staff also reportedly covered all the windows to block outsiders from looking into the building when the star was inside. During his stay in Taipei, G-Dragon also met up with another international superstar, Mandopop icon Jay Chou (周杰倫). Yesterday (14th July 2025, Monday), the latter shared a couple of photos of himself with the Korean singer. According to Jay Chou, the pair bonded over their shared interest in wine and art. The stars previously met in January 2025 in Paris. There are also rumours that the two's recent meeting was to discuss a potential collaboration. It seems that G-Dragon made the most out of his visit to Taiwan. Let's hope he'll have a great stay in Kuala Lumpur when he arrives in town for his concert at Axiata Arena later this week.

NASA Empowers Energy Projects by Providing Global Earth Observation Data
NASA strives to understand the universe, whether that be the stars above us or Earth around us. One way NASA focuses on the Earth is through satellite, ground, and airborne Earth observations and modeling. NASA's Earth Science projects work to further understand the Earth and its systems to better help humanity now and in the future. One such component is energy, which is a vital resource that impacts daily life for millions of people across the world. NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) project support efforts toward energy resilience and efficiency by providing value-added global solar and meteorological data parameters. Since 1988, the data POWER provides has been leveraged for numerous projects concerning solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy. Since 2018, POWER has answered 764.5 million data requests to more than 1.4 million unique users. The project offers more than 1,000 different parameters that can help companies, researchers, and agencies make actionable decisions, accelerate learning, and improve outcomes in energy, buildings, and agroclimatology sectors. The breadth and no-cost accessibility of POWER's analysis-ready data allows for a wide range of application areas to achieve organizational goals in energy independence and resilience. The project leverages NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) mission and the NASA Langley Research Center's Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) in association with the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program, which: Provides solar data in hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly temporal and long-term averages. Dates back to 1984. Supports projects like solar panel sizing, power generation forecasting, and solar thermal systems for buildings. POWER uses Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) data products, which: Provides meteorological parameters such as temperature, wind, and humidity in hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly temporal and long-term averages. Dates back to 1981. Supports efforts such as wind turbine analysis, hydropower studies, and building energy efficiency. [caption id="attachment_236477" align="aligncenter" width="740"] Global visualization of surface shortwave downward irradiance annually for 2023 expressed in watts per meter squared. Source: Christopher Higham, NASA POWER[/caption] The POWER project prides itself on providing accessible pathways to leveraging Earth observation data for its users. Tools such as the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and PaRameter Uncertainty ViEwer (PRUVE) allow users to easily access and compare data. Along with these tools, POWER also offers geospatial services, allowing users to not only visualize POWER data, but also work efficiently with geographic information systems (GIS) applications. In addition, NASA's partnership with Amazon Web Services allows free access to the full POWER data catalog. The POWER DAV is a web application tool that allows direct access to the project's application programming interface (API) and visualization plots. Data from the DAV can be either downloaded or integrated into software and applications for easy and efficient data acquisition. Users can also subset the data by selecting the user community, location, time period, parameters, and file type so they are only acquiring the data they need. Users can also generate integrated reports to support heating and cooling system implementation to assist in building design. HUBER SE, a wastewater company in Germany, accesses POWER data through the DAV to plan and implement drying systems that maximize efficiency. HUBER SE specializes in treating sewage sludge through solar drying, a process sensitive to climate variability. The company uses the POWER DAV to acquire surface shortwave downward irradiance, temperature, and relative humidity to optimally adapt its systems for each site. '[POWER] enables us to develop tailor-made solutions that maximize the efficiency of the systems and at the same time ensure their long-term profitability. This gives us a divisive and competitive advantage on the market,' said Moritz Marschall, a representative from HUBER SE. PRUVE, a new tool being developed by the POWER team, will serve as an online data validation application using statistical analysis and visualization to compare in situ surface site data. Data validation is important to ensure consistency and accuracy. The comparison data will be sourced from the GEWEX program and Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) for solar data. The meteorological comparison data will be acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). One of POWER's other service offerings is geospatial services, which provides the GIS community friendly formats to integrate data into developing their own tools. The DAV and PRUVE tools are examples of how users can leverage geospatial services in the back end of development.

Source: Christopher Higham, NASA POWER[/caption] A large focus area of the NASA POWER project is user engagement to capture current and emerging requirements, use cases, and feedback. User driven feedback helps identify new parameters, tools, and areas of support. Through events like the project's annual Global Community Summit, users can engage directly with POWER project leadership and developers to voice their opinions and needs for future improvements to help further their work. For example, users said they wanted better control of parameter searches with enhanced filter features on the POWER website, so the team created the Parameter Manager and Search Tool. Saildrone is a U.S.-based manufacturer of unmanned surface vehicles that are powered by wind and solar energy. The company uses POWER's hourly solar data to estimate the amount of power that will be generated by the solar panels on the drones. The drones collect meteorological and oceanographic data as well as provide maritime domain awareness for the U.S. military. Saildrone has adjusted mission timelines and instrument payloads based on analyses that use POWER data, saving both time and money on objectives. Another company, Alpha 311, uses POWER's wind speed and wind direction parameters to retrofit vertical axis wind turbines to new and existing infrastructure. To date, POWER data has been applied in Alpha 311 project proposals in 68 countries to help a range of organizations from schools and hospitals to commercial manufacturing plants and sports stadiums deploy renewable energy technology around the globe. POWER also supports other types of projects like Produced Water Ecoservices (PWES), based in Colombia. The ability to treat wastewater from oil and gas plants, also known as produced water, onsite saves on transport costs, shortens the water treatment cycle, and reduces risks of environmental spillage. PWES treats produced water from industrial facilities through mechanical evaporation. The process is sensitive to climatological factors, so PWES uses the POWER DAV to acquire meteorological data to return produced water to a clean state. To date, PWES has treated over one million barrels of produced water with the help of POWER data. Recently, the POWER project released new hydrological parameters from NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) that can be used in research and commercial applications. NASA's IMERG precipitation data provides a higher resolution than the previous MERRA-2 version. Precipitation data has been used in studies to understand the correlation between meteorological factors and water inflow to hydropower plants. The researchers used POWER data in forecasting models to conclude that temperature and precipitation were the greatest factors affecting inflow. Another group studied the inflow for a hydroelectric power plant reservoir using NASA POWER meteorological parameters to establish the precedent at which data parameters should be used in future machine learning models concerning water inflow. NASA POWER hopes to reach new users and support more energy-focused missions. If you would like to learn more about the data tools and services the project offers, please email the POWER project at larc-power-project@ Be on the lookout for information about the virtual 2025 Global Community Summit, which will be held this fall and check out the POWER website for updates and a date to be released soon. is a scientific and technical writer for the NASA POWER project team.

Hint Or Typo? G-DRAGON's IG Post Caption Sparks Rumours Of Another Concert In KL
The fiasco surrounding G-DRAGON's (지드래곤) upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur continues, with more accusations levelled against the concert organiser. However, amidst the issue, there are now rumours that the global star is adding another show to the tour's KL leg. If you haven't been keeping up with the news, BIGBANG (빅뱅) leader G-DRAGON is embarking on his 'Ubermensch' world tour. He will perform at Axiata Arena next month, on 19th and 20th July (Saturday and Sunday). Unfortunately, the concert has been facing issues surrounding the ticketing process, with allegations that concert organiser StarPlanet has been selling tickets to insiders and foreigners. However, fans' attention recently shifted following the announcement of the tour's Phase 3 dates, which include stops in the United States and Europe. After announcing Phase 3, G-DRAGON quietly updated the captions for his previous Instagram post on 'Ubermensch' Phase 1 and 2. While the captions mostly remained the same, some eagle-eyed fans noticed the KL stop had an additional date. As shown in the screenshot, G-DRAGON listed the dates for his KL shows as 'JUL. 18 – 20 AXIATA ARENA', sparking rumours that he's adding another show on 18th July 2025 (Friday). Understandably, fans got excited over this revelation, with many thanking him in the comments for adding another date. However, some VIPs (BIGBANG fans) were doubtful, even wondering if the 'POWER' star had made a typo. Concert organisers StarPlanet and AEG Presents have yet to announce the new show. However, when contacted by a local news outlet, StarPlanet said to wait for official news, hinting that a third show is very likely. There also seems to be no correction on G-DRAGON's Instagram caption, further cementing the rumours. In the meantime, Star Planet recently announced that ticket sales for restricted view seats will begin on 19th June 2025 (Thursday). If the rumours are true, we hope the ongoing ticket issue will be resovled by the time sales for the third show go live. Whatever happens, we hope local fans will get the chance to see G-DRAGON live on stage. Sources: China Press, Twitter, Instagram (1)(2) What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
