The change, she notes, quietly restructured how people speak about themselves in therapy. Once, a client might enter the roo…

Top BBC bosses resign after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a Trump speech
The head of the BBC has resigned after criticism of the broadcaster’s editing of a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump. The BBC said that director-general Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness both announced their resignations on Sunday. Britain’s public broadcaster has been criticized for editing a speech Trump made on Jan. 6, 2021 before protesters attacked the Capitol in Washington. Critics said that the way the speech was edited for a BBC documentary last year was misleading and cut …

Donald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):

Bird-like robot with novel wing system achieves self-takeoff and low-speed flight
In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight. While this bio-inspired robot performed well at a cruising speed, it was not capable of flying at lower speeds or achieving takeoff without assistance.

Multiparty equality in the local broadcast model
Louis Esperet, Jean-Florent Raymond
https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.09143 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.09143

Multiparty equality in the local broadcast model
In this paper we consider the multiparty equality problem in graphs, where every vertex of a graph $G$ is given an input, and the goal of the vertices is to decide whether all inputs are equal. We study this problem in the local broadcast model, where a message sent by a vertex is received by all its neighbors and the total cost of a protocol is the sum of the lengths of the messages sent by the vertices. This setting was studied by Khan and Vaidya, who gave in 2021 a protocol achieving a 4-app…

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts

Uniqueness of entire function concerning derivatives and shifts
In the paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of entire function concerning its derivative and shift and obtain two results. On of our result solves the open problem posed by Majumder et al. (On a conjecture of Li and Yang, Hiroshima Math. J., 53 (2023), 199-223) and the other result improves and generalizes the recent result due to Huang and Fang (Unicity of entire functions concerning their shifts and derivatives, Comput. Methods Funct. Theory, 21 (2021), 523-532) in a large extend.
