Ukraine war latest: US reportedly prepared for potential Russian nuclear strike in Ukraine in 2022: https://benborges.xyz/2024/03/10/ukraine-war-latest.html

On Sept. 22, 2022, Venezuelan authorities spotted a hard-to-miss figure at Simón Bolívar International Airport, about to board a flight to Russia.
Leonard Glenn Francis,
known widely as “Fat Leonard,”

The 57-year-old Malaysian felon was enormous, rich, and charming.
He was also at the center of one of the worst corruption and espion…

“Fat Leonard,” the Navy bribery scandal involving more than 60 admirals, explained
It involves fancy dinners, prostitutes, and lots of alcohol.

Product structure extension of the Alon--Seymour--Thomas theorem
Alon, Seymour and Thomas [1990] proved that every $n$-vertex graph excluding $K_t$ as a minor has treewidth less than $t^{3/2}\sqrt{n}$. Illingworth, Scott and Wood [2022] recently refined this result by showing that every such graph is a subgraph of some graph with treewidth $t-2$, where each vertex is blown up by a complete graph of order $O(\sqrt{tn})$. Solving an open problem of Illingworth, Scott and Wood [2022], we prove that the treewidth bound can be reduced to $4$ while keeping blowups…

It makes sense that the Dallas Cowboys would want to extend former first-round pick CeeDee Lamb.

In 2023, he led the NFL in targets and receptions, finished second in receiving yards and third in touchdowns. At the same time, the receiver market continues to explode. 15 receivers now make over $20 million per year. Before 2022 that number stood at just three. The sooner the Co…

Hypertree shrinking avoiding low degree vertices
The shrinking operation converts a hypergraph into a graph by choosing, from each hyperedge, two endvertices of a corresponding graph edge. A hypertree is a hypergraph which can be shrunk to a tree on the same vertex set. Klimošová and Thomassé [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 156 (2022), 250--293] proved (as a tool to obtain their main result on edge-decompositions of graphs into paths of equal length) that any rank $3$ hypertree $T$ can be shrunk to a tree where the degree of each vertex is at le…

Rätel um Starstürmer: - „Ich bin nicht mehr derselbe Benzema wie damals“ #News #Nachrichten

7/ Guten Morgen! Habt Ihr gut geschlafen? Ich habe in der Zeit mal ein bisschen was zu #Kuba gelesen. Anne Rabe hatte ja aus einem Film über das schlimme Schicksal eines homosexuellen Schriftstellers in Kuba geschlossen, dass der #Sozialismus und die DDR schlecht waren. Zu #Homosexualität in der #DDR hatte ich ja schon was im Blog-Post geschrieben. Jetzt habe ich einen Kuba-Teil hinzugefügt.
Kuba hat seit 2022 eins der liberalsten Familiengesetze weltweit. Transoperationen werden von der Krankenkasse übernommen. Gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen sind erlaubt usw. usf. Und jetzt ratet mal, wer die treibende Karft war und ist! Und zwar seit 1980. Kommt Ihr nie drauf. Es ist die Nichte von Fidel Castro, nämlich Mariela Castro. Und ratet mal, wie das Familiengesetz beschlossen wurde. Mit einem Referendum. Mit großer Mehrheit. Hm. Sehr interessant. Kuba hat zwar ein Einparteiensystem mit Kommunistischer Partei, aber es gibt Volksentscheide. Irre! Und ratet mal, wer sich für diese Öffnung einsetzt: Mariela Castro.
Viel Spaß beim Lesen. Und vielleicht kann ja @… seiner Genossin Anne Rabe irgendwann auch noch mal erklären, dass die #SPD den Sozialismus aufbauen will. Also steht zumindest im Programm. Vielleicht hat Anne Rabe das aber auch nicht gelesen, bevor sie eingetreten ist. Sie ist ja nicht so sorgfältig beim Recherchieren.

The Dallas Cowboys wanted Johnathan Hankins back and the veteran nose tackle wanted to stick around.

However, an often overlooked problem is what high-dimensional representation should be used to describe systems before dimensionality reduction.

New Invariants for Partitioning a Graph into 2-connected Subgraphs
A vertex partition in which every part induces a 2-connected subgraph is called a 2-proper partition. This concept was introduced by Ferrara et al. in 2013, and Borozan et al. gave the best possible minimum degree condition for the existence of a 2-proper partition in 2016. Later, in 2022, Chen et al. extended the result by showing a minimum degree sum condition for the existence of 2-proper partition. In this paper, we introduce two new invariants of graph, denoted by $σ^*(G)$ and $α^*(G)$. …
