By Park Sae-jin Posted : December 7, 2023, 11:09 Updated : December 7, 2023, 11:09 SEOUL -- One of the world's most popular online streaming platforms, Twitch, will exit South Korea in early 2024 due to extremely high network fees that are 10 times higher than in most countries, the streaming platform's CEO said through his blog. Twitch, with about 140 million monthly active users as of August 2023, offers creative online spaces for content creators called streamers who mainly broadcast their content live. Fans can choose and access their favorite streamers' channels to watch video content and interact in real time. Fans can donate or pay for a subscription to a channel to watch premium content. Streamers can make millions of dollars from fans' donations and subscription fees. Internet service providers or network companies charge network fees to online-based services that use Internet traffic to make a profit. Services that require a lot of data traffic focus on the development of encoding technology that will minimize the size of video and sound data while maintaining quality. Sometimes, streaming service operators limit the maximum resolution of streamed video files to save operating costs. Through a statement uploaded

JOSH GREEN, M.D. GOVERNOR DAWN CHANG CHAIRPERSON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 6, 2023 ONE BEAUTIFUL PLANT HIGHLIGHTS ENDANGERED SPECIES RECOVERY EFFORTS Hawai‘i Plant Extinction Prevention Program Singled Out Nationally Click on photo to view video (HONOLULU) – Its scientific name is Cyanea rivularis. In the mountains of Kaua‘i it produces conical-shaped lavender and white flowers, which like many endangered plant species across the state, are key components to a fully functioning and healthy native ecosystem. As the 50th anniversary of the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) is celebrated this month, the Endangered Species Coalition chose Hawai‘i’s Plant Extinction Prevention Program (PEPP) as one of 10 outstanding efforts to recognize. This was based on the discovery of a rare plant, Silene lanceolata, discovered by PEPP technician Susan Deans, last year, while rappelling on a remote cliffside. Matt Keir is the DOFAW lead for the PEPP program, which marks its 20th year of existence this year. Continued existence is what it’s all about, as the program’s target list contains more than 260 rare and endangered Hawaiian plants. “We have almost half of all endangered plants in the United States. So, the level of rarity in Hawai‘i is unsurpassed anywhere else in the

Logo text I truly think Norman Lear would have appreciated — and perhaps been a bit embarrassed by — The Hollywood Reporter headline acknowledging his passing. “Norman Lear, Sitcom Genius and Citizen Activist, Dies at 101.” The “genius” part simply expresses what’s hardest to capture when it comes to Norman Lear, whose roster of mostly broadcast sitcoms encompasses the best and brightest comedies of the past 50 years. These indelible shows stretch across multiple generations. Their very names conjure not individual moments or episodes, but an entire and wide-ranging ethos of laughter and perspective on the world around us. All in the Family. Sanford and Son. The Jeffersons. Maude. Good Times. One Day at a Time, both the original and the Cuban-American Netflix remake. What’s hardest when it comes to Lear is perhaps finding a word or a set of words that distill the extent of his gifts, and “genius” fits like one of his signature boat hats. Because Norman Lear was a fashion icon, too. Let us never forget it. So “genius” works. “Genius” is right. But “Citizen Activist” is perfect as well. Lear wasn’t a politician, because being a politician would have limited his platform for influence and
