Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English alt text: Black-and-white close-up photo of a motorcycle in display. The front of the motorcycle is turned slightly to the left. A round headlight and a clear windshield or windscreen stand in front of the handlebars and instrument area. The motorcycle has a round side mirror on the left side. The front wheel and tire tread are visible at the bottom, with the wheel angled slightly toward the camera. In the background, shelves or containers and other display it…
Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English alt text: Black-and-white photo. In the lower left, there is a metal grid or framework with many straight bars forming a rectangular shape. The framework looks like a small structure seen through foliage. In the right half, large arch-shaped branches and smaller twigs are in the foreground, partially covering the metal structure. The background is bright and mostly empty sky with thin branches and leaves. 中文 alt text： 黑白照片。画面左下有一段金属网格或框架结构，里面由许多直线杆组成，整体呈矩形。这个框…
Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English alt text: Black-and-white photo taken outdoors. A modern building fills the background, with many rectangular windows arranged in rows. In the foreground, a large wooden bench is centered, and a person is lying down on the bench. Dense bushes and small trees surround the bench, filling most of the lower half of the image. The person’s clothing appears light in tone, and the person is resting with their body lying horizontally on the bench. 中文 alt text： 黑白户外照片。…
Lucky LUCKY SHD 100 (6x7) English alt text: Black-and-white photo indoors or under a roof. In the foreground on the right, there are tall, thin bamboo stalks with visible nodes. The bamboo stalks are sharp and close to the camera. In the middle distance, there are several tables and chairs, but they are blurred, creating a sense of depth. Vertical wooden or structural elements frame the space. Bright light comes from the left side, and the background people, if present, are indistinct due to b…

A hillside villa that served as a cultural hub for German writers and artists fleeing the Nazis
and narrowly escaped destruction in last year’s Los Angeles wildfires
reopened its doors to the public this weekend,
marking the latest milestone in the city’s slow recovery from one of the darkest chapters in its history.
Hundreds of friends of the Villa Aurora,
a 1920s Spanish Mediterranean house that has taken on a second life as a cultural center with a fierce com…

Non-Thermal Pressure due to Gas Motions in the Intracluster Medium: Confronting XRISM/Resolve with TNG-Cluster Simulations
Erwin T. Lau, Naomi Ota, Daisuke Nagai
arxiv.org/abs/2608.04757 arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04757 arxiv.org/html/2608.04757
arXiv:2608.04757v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Intracluster medium (ICM) gas motions probe cluster assembly, feedback, and non-thermal pressure support, but recent XRISM observations reveal velocity dispersions and non-thermal pressure fractions systematically lower than simulations predict, with extreme systems such as Abell 2029 falling below nearly all simulated clusters. Using the TNG-Cluster simulations, we show that the non-thermal pressure fraction depends sensitively on cool-core state and formation history, and provide a two-scale fitting function capturing both the inner cool-core suppression and outer rise of the radial profile. By forward-modeling mock XRISM observations and comparing them with both projected and intrinsic three-dimensional quantities, we find that azimuthal variations and projection effects contribute to the deficit in the observed velocity dispersion and non-thermal pressure fraction. This bias increases with radius and partially offsets the intrinsic outward rise in the true three-dimensional non-thermal pressure fraction. However, these effects cannot explain the extremely low values of the non-thermal pressure fraction observed in Abell 2029, which fall below approximately the 0th - 6th percentiles of the simulated cool-core cluster distribution at every measured radius under both the turbulence-only and turbulence-plus-bulk definitions. The remaining tension points to rare dynamical conditions or missing physics affecting the amplitude of gas motions in current ICM models.

What a morning and long day it was last week! Was already out & about for 3 hours when I got to this place, earlier mostly taking hundreds of images of the nearby (~500m away) Breslauer Hut and vicinity during sunrise... The first large (and loud) group of people already got up at 4AM, getting ready for climbing Wildspitze, another group left an hour later, as did I. Maintenance/repair works on the hut continued at 08:30, taking lots more pictures to document, interviewin…

Photo of a high alpine landscape with three different valleys in bright hazy morning light. In the bottom left corner, still in the shade, a meandering creek is flowing down the rocky hanging valley formed by its former glacier. A small talus field in the sun, next to the path. Further in the distance much larger, deeper valleys, their floor occluded and only the upper sections illuminated. Glaciated peaks along the whole horizon, partially blanked out by intense bright light. Clear blue sky.
A small footpath, surrounded by talus fields, leading into the distance. Behind, on the other side of the invisible valley, some of the immense, imposing, glaciated peaks of the Kreuzkamm, specifically Talleitspitze (3406m) and Kreuzspitze (3455m). Not much is remaining of the formerly grand Eisferner in between these peaks. Clear blue sky.

omg there is an actual emeritus office now!

A small, sparsely furnished emeritus office, room 3128, viewed through its glass-paneled door. The nameplate reads "Computer Science & Engineering – Emeritus Office – 3128." Inside, gray carpet tile with flecks of orange runs to a large window with vertical blinds partly drawn, giving a view of an adjacent brick/tile building under a clear blue sky. A young fiddle-leaf fig plant sits in a black pot near the window alongside an empty black planter, and a black filing cabinet with a wood-toned to…
It’s me! In the emeritus office! In a brand new Herman Miller chair! A close-up selfie of an older man [hmph] sitting in a black mesh-back office chair (Herman Miller style) in the same emeritus office as the previous photo. He's balding [ok ok enough] with white hair [oh ok so I am old already!] on the sides, wears rectangular black-framed glasses, and has a white mustache and soul patch. He's wearing a lavender-and-white striped button-down shirt, open at the collar, with a small beaded neck…
The view from my office window. A wide daytime view over U-M's North Campus, looking out from a few floors up. On the left stands Baits Tower (the brick clock/bell tower with its distinctive stepped, angular design), rising above the surrounding plaza and lawns. Below and around it, brick-paved walkways and green lawns with young trees lead across the diag toward a low brick building in the middle distance, part of the Duderstadt Center, with a glass-walled corridor section. In the foreground…

Andi Tepelena, a prominent activist and art curator organizing the 2026 civic protests in Tirana, Albania
made these remarks to emphasize the deepening political crisis.
He stated that m
"the regime has activated an army of patronage Nazis to tarnish the protest,"
but added that this battle has been won by the citizens and their supporters.
Tepelena stressed that protesters are united around the demand for the removal of the government and a profound c…

"We have won the war with the patronageists who try to dirty us", Andi Tepelena on the protest: Parties must be re-formed, or they will end up in the dustbin of history
Following the protests taking place in the country, Andi Tepelena has stated that, in his opinion, the civic movement has managed to withstand the attempts to discredit it on social networks and by organized political structures. He stated that, “the regime has activated an army of patronage-fascists to tarnish the protest”, but added that this battle has been won […]
