Fear of flying therapy is about reframing the flight experience;
if my mind’s eye squints,
I can almost interpret my sweating palms and pounding heartbeat as a kind of buzz.
But this requires repeated, strenuous effort,
and the result is a mental exhaustion that makes the worst-case scenario appealing:
succumbing to my fears and never flying again.
I imagine this as analogous to what many Americans, aerophobic or not, are feeling.
It’s simply easier…

For those trying to overcome their fears of flying, it’s been . . . a challenging time to say the least.

IP Models for Minimum Zero Forcing Sets, Forts, and Related Graph Parameters
Zero forcing is a binary coloring game on a graph where a set of filled vertices can force non-filled vertices to become filled following a color change rule. In 2008, the zero forcing number of a graph was shown to be an upper bound on its maximum nullity. In addition, the combinatorial optimization problem for the zero forcing number was shown to be NP-hard. Since then, the study of zero forcing and its related parameters has received considerable attention. In 2018, the forts of a graph were…

The Los Angeles field office director for the Department of Homeland Security
testified on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
desperately needed the help of military personnel in carrying out arrests.
The question is whether Donald Trump‘s deployment of armed forces goes against U.S. law that generally prohibits the president from using the military to police domestic affairs.
Ernesto Santacruz Jr. testified at the start of a three-day trial in S…

Trial to start over National Guard deployment to Los Angeles
A federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments on whether military troops deployed this summer by the Trump administration to Los Angeles violated a federal law that bars troops from conducting law enforcement duties within the country. Judge Charles Breyer will decide whether the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law that prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force, was violated by the 4,700 California National Guard members and Marines sent following protests. T…

Layer-dependent Charge Transfer and inter-layer coupling in WSe2/Graphene Heterostructures
Understanding interfacial interactions in two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures is essential for advancing optoelectronic and quantum technologies. We investigate metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown WSe$_2$ films (one to five layers) on graphene/SiC, directly compared to exfoliated WSe$_2$ on SiO$_2$, using Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy complemented by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Raman measurements reveal compressive strain and interfacial charge transfer in…

Symmetry and monotonicity of singular solutions for the Hartree equation
In this paper we are concerned with positive singular solutions of the following nonlocal Hartree equation $$-Δu\!=\Big( \int_{\mathbb{R}^N\setminus Γ}\frac{F(u(y))}{|x-y|^μ}dy \Big)f (u(x)), \quad x\in \mathbb{R}^N\setminusΓ,$$ where $F$ is the primitive of $f$ and $Γ$ is the singular set. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that $u$ is symmetric and monotone with respect to the singular set by using moving plane methods. Furthermore, we complement this study by showing the exi…

"The UK’s actual record in the 1930s is far from good, but no doubt if Nigel Farage had been in power he would have eagerly sent every Jewish refugee fleeing from the Nazis back to Germany."

Anyone from Microsoft following me?
I’m going to leave GitHub (I’ve been a user since the beta days) and will incessantly ask everyone I know to leave it as well if you don’t roll back the “can’t opt out” force-feeding of “AI” nonsense.
You should also have no integration or collaboration with Xai at all, ever.
Make your management have some sense, this is hostile and disgusting and wrong.
