title: Western Endeavour

text:
The Western Endeavour was the first steam locomotive hauled train to operate across from Sydney on Australia's east coast to Perth on the west coast in 1970.

History
Following the completion of a project to convert the Sydney to Perth railway line to standard gauge in February 1970, the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum operated a steam locomotive hauled special across Australia in August and September 1970.

The special was the first steam locomotive hauled service to operate from the East to West coasts of Australia. At this time steam locomotives were being phased out of service, and had already ceased operating on some parts of the journey traversed. The train was hauled by 3801, with 3813 assisting as far as Port Augusta.

The train consisted of 8 sleeping carriages (5x TAM, 3x MAL), 2 FS cars (for Day Trippers that journeyed to Bathurst only), a dining car (AB90), a first class lounge carriage (BV931) and a crew/storage car (VHO1816). Water gins SWT 5 & 6 were picked up from Broken Hill. All carriages and both locomotives were overhauled and repainted at the Eveleigh Railway Workshops. Several trial runs were made with the full train as far as Goulburn. Both locomotives had their buffers removed as they would operate on railway systems where rolling stock did not have buffers.

The Western Endeavour departed Sydney Central on the 22 August 1970, arriving at East Perth on 28 August.

A water gin was added at , and the train left hauled only by 3801, the bridges of the plains not to be trusted with the weight of two 38 class locos. A second gin was added at Broken Hill, where doubleheading resumed. An air conditioned dining car was added at Port Pirie with an assist by a diesel, CL3, added at Port Augusta.  During its time in SA, 3813 was used for various local tours.

The return journey departed Perth on 6 September, arriving on 12 September.

In April/May 1988, 3801 repeated the journey during the Australian Bicentenary, while LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman made the journey in September/October 1989.

title: 1997 Robocup 2D Soccer Simulation League

text:
The 1997 RoboCup 2D Soccer Simulation League was the first RoboCup competition promoted in conjunction with International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence held in Nagoya, Japan, from 23 to 29 August 1997.

This event was supported by important sponsors and organizations such as Namco, Sun Microsystems, ElectroTechnical Laboratory, Softopia Japan, International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences, Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence, Robotics Society of Japan, IEEE R&A Society, Nihon Silicon Graphics-Cray Inc., Fujita Corporation, Net-One Systems, SOUM Corp.

It was also supported by Chubu Bureau of Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Aichi Prefectural Government, and City of Nagoya.

Format

Initially, the first stage was disputed by 29 teams divided by five groups of four and three groups of three. The classification was the same used by FIFA in the FIFA World Cup format of the last two decades, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage. Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw.

In the knockout stage there were four rounds (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final), with each eliminating the losers. The two semi-final losers competed in a third place play-off. For any match in the knockout stage, a draw after 6000 cycles was followed by more 6000 cycles to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.

text:
Barney Ernest Willford McCall MC (13 May 1913 – 31 March 1991) was an English-born Welsh cricketer, rugby player and British Army officer. He was born at Clifton, Bristol, and died at hospital in Cardiff, Glamorgan.

Cricket career
McCall's cricketing skills first became apparent while attending Weymouth College from 1928 to 1931, with Wisden later describing him as one of the best cricketers the college produced between the world wars. His final year of attending the college saw McCall make a single appearance for Dorset in the 1931 Minor Counties Championship against Wiltshire. Having enlisted in the British Army, McCall represented the British Army cricket team from 1935, making one first-class appearance for the Army against Cambridge University in 1936. He returned to play minor counties cricket for Dorset following a five-year gap in 1936, making seven appearances for the county. The following season he was selected to play for a combined Minor Counties cricket team in a first-class match against Oxford University. McCall would make a third and final appearance in first-class cricket in 1948 for the Combined Services against Worcestershire. His three first-class matches yielded him 56 runs at an average of 9.33, with a top-score of 31.

Rugby career
McCall played rugby union for Newport RFC as a winger, making two known appearances for the club in 1935/36. He was selected to play for Wales in the 1936 Home Nations Championship, making his debut against England at St Helen's a no-score draw, in doing so becoming the 500th Welshman to be capped for the country. He made two further appearances for Wales in the Championship's against Scotland and Ireland. He was one of only seven rugby players of all time to be called up for international duty whilst serving with the armed forces.

Military career

He received promotion to lieutenant on 2 February 1936 and served with the Royal Army Service Corps from 16 March. His initial service with the RASC was under probation, he was officially seconded from his regiment on 16 June. During this time McCall attended the RASC Junior Officers' Course.

He returned to the Welch Regiment on 13 February 1937 before resigning his commission on 20 March. He was re-appointed to his commission with the Welch Regiment on 20 July 1938 with his seniority backdated to 3 June 1937, from the time of his reappointment he was attached to the Officers Training Corps (Junior Division) at the King's School, Canterbury. He joined the staff of the school in 1939 as the rugby coach.

McCall served in the temporary rank of major (with war-substantive rank of captain) in the 1/5th Battalion of the Welch Regiment, part of the 53rd (Welsh) Infantry Division, in the Second World War. He was with the battalion when it arrived in France at the end of June 1944 and attended the burial service of its commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel ERG Ripley on 1 July.  On 1 March 1945 he was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in action. His rank as captain was confirmed by promotion to substantive rank on 13 July 1946 with his seniority later being backdated to 13 May 1944. McCall, still with the Welch Regiment, received promotion to the rank of major on 13 May 1949. He retired from the army on 1 March 1958 and was granted the honorary rank of lieutenant-colonel in the Regular Army Reserve of Officers. He ceased to be liable for recall on 13 May 1963, having reached the age limit of 50 years.

title: Sangre Azul

text:
Sangre Azul were a Spanish glam metal / AOR band from Madrid, active from 1982 to 1992. The group had a short-lived reunion in 2005.

Career
Sangre Azul was founded in Pinto, Madrid in 1982 by José Castañosa “Lili” (vocals), J.A. Martin & Carlos Raya (guitars), Julio Díaz (bass), and Luis Santurde (drums).
They won the "Trofeo Rock Villa de Madrid", a contest for new bands organized by the City Council of Madrid, which allowed them to be featured on a split release with two more bands.

In 1985 the group recorded and released an EP with four songs through an independent company.
After this, vocalist "Lili" Castañosa quits the band, being replaced by Tony Solo (ex-Muro). Eventually, their manager secured them a contract with Hispavox, a major Spanish label, subsidiary of EMI Records, with whom they released three studio albums: Obsesión (1987), Cuerpo a cuerpo (1988), and El silencio de la noche (1989).

The group finally disbanded in 1992, due to the lack of support from their company, and the general decline of the melodic hard rock and pop metal style.
In 2005, original singer "Lili" Castañosa re-activated the group with a different line-up for a few shows.

title: Effects of Typhoon Bopha in the Caroline Islands

text:
The effects of Typhoon Bopha in the Caroline Islands were significant, though limited in extent in comparison to the cyclone's intensity. Typhoon Bopha originated from a tropical depression south of Pohnpei on November 25, 2012, and tracked generally westward for more than a week. During this time, it threatened several islands across Micronesia, prompting the issuance of typhoon watches and warnings. The system skirted the Nomoi Islands on November 28 where it caused limited damage. Thereafter, it became a threat to Palau as an intense typhoon. Residents there boarded up their homes and some evacuated to public shelters while officials enacted a strict curfew during the typhoon's passage. Bopha passed  south of Angaur island, or  south of Babeldaob, on December 2 with winds of .

Damage was most severe in the states of Angaur, Melekeok, Ngiwal, and Ngaraard where storm surge damaged or destroyed many homes. Electricity and water service in many areas was lost during the storm, and remained so for over a week in the hardest hit areas. Throughout Palau, 92 homes were destroyed while 59 others sustained severe damage. Total damage amounted to US$10.1 million with repair costs estimated at US$15–20 million. A state of emergency was declared on December 5 while the Palau Red Cross Society assisted with recovery efforts. Palau's congress allocated US$10 million for relief while international donors provided a collective US$235,000 in aid.

Background

On November 25, 2012, a tropical depression developed to the south of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia. Initially tracking northwest and later due west under the influence of a strong subtropical ridge to its north, the system intensified into a tropical storm the following day at which time it received the name Bopha. The storm passed roughly  south of the Nomoi Islands early on November 28. After slowly intensifying for several days Bopha underwent a period of rapid intensification from November 30 to December 1, with its central pressure falling from 990 mbar (hPa; ) to 945 mbar (hPa; ). The system reached its initial peak intensity on December 2 with winds of  according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated Bopha to have been a much stronger storm, with one-minute sustained winds of , a high-end Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS).

Around 06:00 UTC, Bopha passed  south of Babeldaob island in Palau while at its initial peak. Shortly thereafter it made its closest approach the nation, tracking roughly  south of Angaur island. After clearing Palau, Bopha ultimately intensified further before making landfall on Mindanao in the Philippines. The JTWC estimated its peak intensity at , a Category 5 on the SSHWS. The storm resulted in up to 1,901 fatalities in the country and immenseinfrastructural damage. Land interaction substantially weakened the system by the time it emerged over the Sulu Sea. Turning north, Bopha briefly weakened to a tropical storm on December 6 before undergoing another period of rapid intensification. After reaching its tertiary peak on December 7, hostile wind shear caused dramatic weakening. In a 24‑hour span, the typhoon's central pressure rose by 55 mbar (hPa; ) while its winds fell from . Bopha soon degraded to a tropical depression and dissipated off the northwestern coast of Luzon early on December 9.

Preparations

Upon the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's declaration of Tropical Depression 26W on November 26, a tropical storm watch was issued for Nukuoro and Lukunor in the FSM. Hours later, the watch was superseded by a tropical storm warning while new watches were declared for Losap and Chuuk. The watch was expanded during the afternoon of November 27 to include Poluwat. As the storm moved westward through the FSM and intensified on November 28, a typhoon watch was issued for Woleai; tropical storm warnings for the Nomoi Islands, Poluwat, and Satawal; a tropical storm watch was also put in place for Faraulep. Throughout November 29, watches and warnings were discontinued across the FSM, with all being canceled by the evening hours. During the morning of November 30, the remaining advisories were discontinued; however, new typhoon watches were issued for Koror, Ngulu Atoll, and a tropical storm watch for Yap and Sonsorol.

Prior to the storm's arrival, the Micronesia Red Cross Society began stockpiling relief materials on Yap and Chuuk. Emergency communication testing, via satellite phones, was also conducted with regional offices. On November 30, residents in Palau were urged to secure their homes in preparation for the typhoon. They were also advised to stock up on emergency supplies that would last for at least three days. The storm delayed shipment of emergency food supplies to a boarding school on a remote island in Micronesia.

Beginning on November 27 and continuing through December 3, the National Emergency Management Office in Palau issued more than ten detailed public announcements warning residents of the approaching storm and how to prepare. In response, numerous families boarded up their homes and sought refuge in the 45 public shelters opened across the republic. On December 1, a United States Navy vessel arrived in Palau in case requests for assistance were made after the storm. As a precautionary measure, the nations electric grid was shut down at 6:00 p.m. local time on December 2. All flights to and from Roman Tmetuchl International Airport were suspended during the morning of December 3. A strict curfew was put in place for the city of Koror for the duration of the typhoon.

Impact

Across Micronesia, impact from the typhoon was fairly limited. Winds on Nukuoro were estimated at , resulting in minor damage to buildings and crops. Losses on the atoll reached $10,000. Lukunor, located farther west, experienced similar winds; however, damage was slightly more severe. Notable coastal impact took place, with portions of the dock and sea wall damaged. Damage across Lukunor and nearby islands amounted to $20,000.

During the early hours of December 3, Typhoon Bopha made its closest approach to Palau, bringing heavy rains and strong winds to much of the archipelago. Winds up to  impacted Angaur and  in Peleliu. Widespread damage took place across the republic, with the most severe occurring in the states of Angaur, Peleliu, Ngchesar, Melekeok, Ngiwal, and Ngaraard. Initial assessments stated that 92 homes were destroyed and 59 others were severely damaged; however, later reports stated that nearly 200 were destroyed. This left roughly 350 people homeless. Along eastern facing coasts, storm surge caused extensive coastal damage and, in some cases, pushed several hundred feet inland, cutting off roads and leaving behind several feet of debris. Hundreds of residents were forced to evacuate to higher ground as a result of the flooding. According to preliminary reports, Angaur Island experienced extensive damage from the storm. At least six homes were destroyed and travel was severely hampered due to downed trees and debris blocking roads. On Peleliu, eight large coral masses were driven onto the reef surrounding the island. Crops and vegetation across the island sustained heavy damage; however, most homes were reportedly "ok".

On the main island of Babeldaob, the coastal states of Melekeok, Ngiwal, and Ngaraard reported that nearly all homes along the shore were damaged or destroyed by storm surge. Power and water service was almost completely lost across the three states as well. In Koror, wind gusts up to  downed trees and power lines. Rainfall at the local National Weather Service office reached . Water and power systems across the republic were severely disrupted, with some areas remaining without service more than a week after the storm. Two schools in Ngaraard also sustained severe damage. Despite the severity of the storm, there were no reports of casualties. Across Palau, total damage to crops and property reached U$10.1 million while the cost to repair damage from the storm was estimated at US$15–20 million.

Aftermath
After the storm had moved through the region on December 2, officials began allowing evacuees to return home on December 3. The same day, all airports and roads were re-opened; however, some roads on Koror remained impassable due to damage from storm surge. Additionally, electricity shut off prior to the storm was restored on Koror. On December 5, the President of Palau declared a state of emergency and US$10 million was authorized by congress for relief efforts. The Palau Red Cross Society began distributing clean-up kits and communal tools in the eastern states of Melekeok, Ngaraard, and Ngiwal by December 7. Further distributions on the southern islands of Anguar and Peleliu began the following day. A week after the typhoon's passage, damage assessments across Palau had been completed and authorities had begun a large-scale reconstruction of damaged properties. The operation, known as the Bopha Catastrophe Relief Committee, was being coordinated by Dr. Patrick Tellei, president of Palau Community College. The committee planned to build 30 homes across the republic: 10 in Ngaraard and 5 each in Angaur, Melekeok, Ngiwal, and Peleliu. By December 12, telecommunications and water supplies were 95 percent restored while power had been brought back to 90 percent of capacity. Although water had been restored to most areas by December 13, residents were advised to continue boiling water, especially in more populated locales until further notice. Schools resumed classes on December 17 across the republic; however, several institutions were either temporarily relocated or had half days due to damage from the storm. On December 23, the Government of Palau announced that, "in the holiday spirit", December 24 and 31 would be declared national holidays for 2012 in light of the typhoon. In some areas, residents burned vegetative debris left behind by the storm.

By December 12, Palau received a US$100,000 grant from USAID and US$25,000 from the Bank of Guam for relief efforts. On December 13, the Government of Japan offered ¥5 million (US$60,000) worth of emergency goods, such as jerry cans and water purifiers, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The following day, the Republic of Korea provided US$50,000 in humanitarian assistance to Palau through the local Red Cross.

 Miss Earth India Aaital Khosla has garnered a lot of negative criticism after Miss Earth India's eco-video showed parts of Nepalese landscapes as one of her own nation. The video showcased the hills and mountain ranges including Mount Everest and the traffic scenes of Nepal's cities. It also indicated that the Miss Earth India organization failed to cross check the facts, plagiarized the video clips, completing the eco-video in haste without any prior responsibility. Amid much criticism, Miss Earth India Organization, owned by Glamanand Super Model India, together with Aaital Khosla then apologized to the Nepalese citizens and the world.

title: LawBreakers

text:
LawBreakers was a first-person shooter video game developed by Boss Key Productions and published by Nexon. It was released worldwide on August 8, 2017, for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4. Physical copies were distributed by Limited Run Games. LawBreakers attempted to expand on the traditional FPS approach by introducing low gravity gameplay and followed the character selection mechanics that are popular in other objective based FPS games.

Despite positive critical reception, LawBreakers sold poorly, leading to the game's servers being shut off on September 14, 2018.

Gameplay
Two teams of five players competed against each other to complete the objective of the match, with one side playing as "Law" and the other side playing as the "Breakers". Though each faction featured its own character roster, each Role in the game featured a unique set of weapons, equipment, and playstyle, all of which were the same for each Role in both teams. The gameplay modes included the following:

Overcharge
A modified capture-the-flag mode with one flag planted in the middle of the map in the form of a battery. Teams raced to grab the battery and then take it back to their base, after which the team with the battery had to defend it until it reached 100%, and then a further 20 seconds, to earn a point. However, the battery kept its charge even after it was stolen, so one team could charge the battery to 99% complete, then the enemy could steal it and take the point after successfully defending the battery at 100% charge. The first team to score three points would be the winners.

Uplink
Similar to Overcharge, except the battery was replaced with a satellite dish. The upload percentage was not linked to the dish itself, but to the team's progress in defending the uplink.

Turf War
There were three capture points spread out between each team's side and the center of the map. Each team competed to clear and hold as many points as possible until the maximum score was reached. Once all three points on a map had been locked down, the number of points captured by each team would be added to their total, and the capture points reset to neutral control after 10 seconds. The first team to reach 16 points would win the match. If both teams were tied going into the last round, then an "Overtime" round would be played, during which the first team to capture two of the three points would win the match.

Blitzball
Both teams raced to acquire the "EURO ball" in the center of the map. The player in possession of the ball then had to run to a goal located in the enemy base to score a point while a 30-second "shot clock" began its countdown. Failure to do so would cause the ball to explode once the shot clock elapsed, killing the ball-carrier. If the ball-carrier was killed before scoring, the ball was dropped and became available to be picked up by anyone. Killing the opponent in possession of the ball and picking up the ball reset the shot clock. If the ball fell off the stage or exploded due to the shot clock, the ball would be reset to the center of the stage. The first team to reach 5 points, or the most points after 15 minutes, would win the match.

Occupy
One circular capture point was placed at the center of the map. Upon activation, each team raced to hold the point and completely clear the enemy off of the point in order to earn points for them. Every 45 seconds, the capture point would rotate to a different spot on the map and re-activate after a 10-second break. Whichever team accumulated 200 points, or the most total points in 15 minutes, would win the match.

Team Deathmatch
Each team raced to kill as many opponents as they could. The team that reached the maximum amount of combined kills or the most after the allotted time elapsed would be the winners.

Roles
Though two factions had separate characters for each Role in the game, the equipment and abilities of each Role were identical. As of "Patch 2.0", teams were limited to two of the same Role in each of them, and no double Roles were allowed in the "Boss Leagues" competitive mode. In addition, all Roles shared the ability to slowly regenerate health after spending 5 seconds outside of combat.

The following table lists the characters by Faction and Role:

Development
Previously named BlueStreak, the game was set to be free-to-play, but in March 2016 Boss Key announced that they had abandoned the format in favor of a paid release. After being demoed at the 2016 PAX East gamer festival in Boston, LawBreakers began closed alpha and beta testing. On June 30, 2017, Boss Key released an open beta on Steam, which lasted until July 5. A second open beta was available from July 28 to 31 for PC and PS4.

Despite his experience in developing games on Xbox consoles for many years, Cliff Bleszinski made a concrete decision to not release LawBreakers for the Xbox One at launch, which caused an uproar amongst his fans. He made it abundantly clear that the choice was strictly business. However, in March 2020, he expressed his regret over that decision.

Reception

LawBreakers received "generally positive" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Eurogamer ranked the game 39th on their list of the "Top 50 Games of 2017".

Decline
Despite favorable reviews, the game failed to gain a sufficient player base. According to Githyp, the closed-beta peaked at 7500 players on Steam, followed a month later by an open-beta with 40% fewer players. The game launched with a 60% lower player base than the beta peak and launched outside of the Steam top 100 Most Played Games. In an interview with GameSpot, game director Cliff Bleszinski stated that the PlayStation 4 version was doing much better, although he did not confirm any statistics. Bleszinski making the game a PlayStation exclusive on consoles was also criticized as playing a part in the lack of player numbers, with the Xbox being considered to have a wider fanbase for multiplayer first person shooters.

In April 2018, Boss Key released a statement that the game failed to find enough of an audience to generate the funds necessary to keep the game sustained. On June 11, the game was made free-to-play on Steam with a notice that the servers would be shut down on September 14, 2018, on which the game was removed from Steam and is no longer available for purchase.

In April 2023, Cliff Bleszinski teased a possible revival of LawBreakers after 5 years.

title: William St Lawrence, 14th Baron Howth

text:
William St Lawrence, 14th Baron Howth (1688–1748) was an Irish peer and politician, who enjoyed the friendship of Jonathan Swift.

Early life
He was the eldest of the five sons of Thomas St Lawrence, 13th Baron Howth and his wife  Mary Barnewall, daughter of Henry, 2nd Viscount Barnewall of Kingsland and his second wife Lady Mary Nugent. He lived for part of each year in Howth Castle, but also spent much of his time at Kilfane House near Thomastown, County Kilkenny, where he could indulge his passion for sport.

He sat in the Irish House of Commons as MP for Ratoath between 1716 and 1727. He was regarded as a man of shrewd political judgement, and became a member of the Privy Council of Ireland in 1739.

Marriage and children
Shortly after succeeding to the title, he married Lucy Gorges, fourth daughter of General Richard Gorges of Kilbrew, County Meath, and his first wife Nichola Sophia Hamilton. Nichola was the daughter of  Hugh Hamilton, 1st Viscount of Glenawly and his second wife Susanna Balfour, and widow of Sir Tristram Beresford, 3rd Baronet.

Lucy was more than twenty years her husband's junior, having been born shortly before her mother's death in 1713. They had two sons, Thomas St Lawrence, 1st Earl of Howth, and a younger son William (died 1749), who became a professional soldier; and one daughter Mary (1729-1787), who married Sir Richard Gethin, 4th Baronet, and was the mother of Sir Percy Gethin, 5th Baronet of the Gethin Baronets of Gethinsgrott, County Cork.

Jonathan Swift
His marriage to Lucy led to a friendship between Lord Howth and Jonathan Swift, who greatly admired Lucy, and called her "my blue-eyed nymph". Her stepmother Dorothy (Dolly)
Stopford had also been Swift's friend. Swift became a regular visitor to Howth Castle, exchanged numerous letters with Lord Howth, and at Howth's request had his portrait painted by Francis Bindon. Swift's regard for Lady Howth led him to importune his friend Eaton Stannard, the Recorder of Dublin, to use whatever influence he had on behalf of her brother Mr Hamilton Gorges, who was standing for Parliament in 1734. Swift ruefully remarked that "I know of no other lady whose commands I would not have  disobeyed on such an occasion", the more so since her brother was a complete stranger to him.

Scandal
Scandal and tragedy visited the St Lawrence family in 1736. While the Howths were in residence at Kilfane, a cousin, Miss Barford and her friend Miss Hawley who were staying with them, were killed in a carriage accident. When news of the tragedy reached Dublin, it led in a rather obscure fashion to a violent quarrel between Lord Howth's brother, Henry St Lawrence, and Lady Howth's brother, Hamilton Gorges (for whom Jonathan Swift had canvassed for a seat in Parliament two years earlier). St Lawrence challenged Gorges to a duel in which Gorges killed him. Gorges was tried for murder but acquitted. The jury, as generally happened in such cases, accepted his plea that he had acted in self-defence.

Character
Elrington Ball describes William as a man of considerable gifts, keen insight and a humorous disposition, but far too fond of his own pleasure. He was a keen sportsman and a heavy drinker. At the same time he took a strong interest in improving agriculture, and as his last will shows, was notably charitable to the poor.

Death
He died on 4 April 1748 and was succeeded in the title by his elder son, Thomas, who was created 1st Earl of Howth in 1767. His widow remarried Nicholas Weldon of Gravelmount House, Navan, County Meath in 1751. Since Weldon was a Roman Catholic it was necessary under the Penal Lawsfor Lucy to obtain a royal pardon for the marriage in order to prevent forfeiture of her property rights, and this was duly granted in December 1751.

title: Detik.com

text:
Detikcom (stylized as detikcom) is an Indonesian digital media company owned by CT Corp subsidiary Trans Media. Detikcom is an online news portal and publishes breaking news. The portal is consistently ranked among Indonesia's 10 most-visited websites and is among the top 250 in the world. It receives approximately 180 million visits per day. A 2021 Reuters Institute survey ranked Detikcom as the most widely used online news source in Indonesia out of 16 top outlets.

History
Detikcom has its roots in DeTIK, which was Indonesia's top-selling and most critical political tabloid in the early 1990s. DeTIK was effectively banned on 21 June 1994, when Information Minister Harmoko withdrew its publication license together with Tempo and Editor magazine. DeTIK had upset the repressive regime of long-serving president Suharto by publishing interviews with senior military officers who were critical of civilian politicians. The tabloid had also dared to speculate on who would succeed Suharto.

Following the resignation of Suharto on 21 May 1998, some journalists decided to set up an online news portal. Detikcom was originally founded by Budi Darsono (former Tempo and DeTIK journalist), Yayan Sopyan (former DeTIK journalist), Abdul Rahman (former SWA journalist), and Didi Nugrahadi. The domain name detik.com became active on 29 May 1998, however the site did not start producing content until 9 July 1998, which is considered its founding date. The founders focused on continuously updating breaking news, as well as more analytical news articles. Detikcom's first office was a small room at Lebak Bulus Stadium in South Jakarta.

On 3 August 2011, Detikcom was acquired by Trans Media under CT Corp, owned by Chairul Tanjung. He has maintained the site's independent, neutral and unbiased media stance.

In 2019, Detikcom expanded into a media group called Detik Network, which consists of CNN Indonesia, CNBC Indonesia, Haibunda, Female Daily, Beautynesia, and insertlive.
