Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations,
said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices.

Attached: 1 image 🔥🔥🔥 TRIGGER WARNING 🔥🔥🔥 Truly SHOCKING video reporting here by #AP, about US contractors in Gaza firing live ammo at Palestinians as they come for food aid. IMHO, this is one of those times when it's important to bear witness, unless it would be too distressing to watch the footage. Will be shocked if this does not explode in the news. https://youtube.com/watch?v=63XTo2EyLZA&si=w9W1uKIMznffVone .#Israel #Hezbollah #Hamas #Houthi #Gaza #Palestine #Lebanon …

Stability-Aware Joint Communication and Control for Nonlinear Control-Non-Affine Wireless Networked Control Systems
Ensuring the stability of wireless networked control systems (WNCS) with nonlinear and control-non-affine dynamics, where system behavior is nonlinear with respect to both states and control decisions, poses a significant challenge, particularly under limited resources. However, it is essential in the context of 6G, which is expected to support reliable communication to enable real-time autonomous systems. This paper proposes a joint communication and control solution consisting of: i) a deep K…

J4CC, A Frame for Communication Control
Politics increasingly faces conflicts that appear irreconcilable, where one party's requirements directly contradict those of another. We propose J4CC, a frame for mapping how four forces (Power, Capital, Morality, and Knowledge) influence rule-making. J4CC provides a jargon for analyzing rule-making conversations. Beyond ideas about framing (Lakoff 2004; Rein & Schön, 1996), it draws on ideas from legal theory (Fuller 1967), institutional economics (Coase 1937), anthropology (Douglas 1992), a…

Improving performance of content-centric networks via decentralized coded caching for multi-level popularity and access
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) offers a novel architectural paradigm that seeks to address the inherent limitations of the prevailing Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking model. In contrast to the host-centric communication approach of IP networks, CCN prioritizes content by enabling direct addressing and routing based on content identifiers. The potential performance improvements of CCN can be further amplified through optimized management of coded data storage and transmission strategies…

Cyber-Physical Co-Simulation of Load Frequency Control under Load-Altering Attacks
Integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) devices into the power grid brings many benefits. However, it also exposes the grid to new potential cyber threats. Many control and protection mechanisms, such as Load Frequency Control (LFC), responsible for maintaining nominal frequency during load fluctuations and Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) disconnecting portion of the load during an emergency, are dependent on information exchange through the communication network. The r…
