Trump gets the nasty laughs he seeks at someone else’s expense, especially when he sneers at a person’s physical limitations.
People who behaved that way were once scorned. Now they become the Republican nominee for president.
There are few among us who don’t know how it feels to be the butt of a joke.
That includes Trump’s supporters.
But with their always aggrieved state of mind, they have anointed Trump as a strongman who allows them to belittle those they see as …

The second part of voyages around #Szczecin: Szczecin Zdroje (= springs, as in the source of water).
We're going to find two highlights around there: Park Leśny Zdroje (= Springs Forest Park), and Puszcza Bukowa (= Beechwood), with Bukowe Zdroje (= Beech Springs) reserve. I'm going to focus on the first one today. As for Puszcza Bukowa, I'm going to say only that it's a huge forest with lots of hills, and it's kinda like going to the mountains. You can spend hours there.
As for Park Leśny Zdroje, it's got interesting landscape too. I've photographed its four most important highlights (in my opinion) for your viewing pleasure:
1. Jezioro Szmaragdowe (= Emerald Lake), named after its characteristic water color. There's a walking path across its southern and eastern shore, as well as on top of the surrounding hills. However, there's also a lot of mosquitoes there.
2. "Oko na Szczecin" (= Eye on Szczecin) overview. Unfortunately, it's been overgrown badly with surrounding shrubs. Hard not to think that "the world has moved on".
3. A #tunnel of old mine railroad. It's in a middle of a slightly overgrown path in the middle of a gully. No rails remain, though.
4. Czanowskie Wzgórze (= Chan Hill?). A nice overlook over a cliff. This one's not overgrown at all; also has no protective railings, and the ground is declining towards the cliff. Just saying, as an acrophobic person.

Perhaps the most interesting article I've read on Europe's efforts to decarbonise road transport, the controversy over electrification, the proposed alternatives, Chinese manufacturing and a way forward for Europe.

Fin du véhicule thermique : pourquoi et comment y parvenir ? | Terra Nova
Dans le cadre de la campagne pour les élections européennes 2024, nous avons demandé à différents experts de formuler des recommandations sur plusieurs questions stratégiques pour l’avenir de l’Union européenne. Nous ouvrons cette série avec une contribution de Jean-Philippe Hermine, directeur de l’Institut Mobilités en Transition (IMT), à qui nous avons posé la question de la fin du véhicule thermique. Alors que certains émettent des doutes sur les orientations du Green Deal…

France issues new rules for agrivoltaics
The French government has published long-anticipated rules defining conditions for installing PV panels on agricultural areas, with consideration for the coverage rate and acceptable loss of agricultural yield.

Higher-dimensional grid-imprimitive block-transitive designs
It was shown in 1989 by Delandtsheer and Doyen that, for a $2$-design with $v$ points and block size $k$, a block-transitive group of automorphisms can be point-imprimitive (that is, leave invariant a nontrivial partition of the point set) only if $v$ is small enough relative to $k$. Recently, exploiting a construction of block-transitive point-imprimitive $2$-designs given by Cameron and the last author, four of the authors studied $2$-designs admitting a block-transitive group that preserves …

On the non-local problem for Boussinesq type fractional equation
In recent years, the Boussinesq type fractional partial differential equation has attracted much attentions of researchers for its practical importance. In this paper we study a non-local problem for the Boussinesq type equation $D_t^αu(t)+A D_t^αu(t)+ν^2A u(t)=0,\,\, 0< t< T,\,\, 1<α<2,$ where $D_t^α$ is the Caputo fractional derivative and $A$ is abstract operator. In the classical case, i.e. at $α=2$, this problem was studied earlier and an interesting effect was discovered: the well-p…

Determining the order of time and spatial fractional derivatives
The paper considers the initial-boundary value problem for equation $D^ρ_t u(x,t)+ (-Δ)^σu(x,t)=0$, $ρ\in (0,1)$, $σ>0$, in an N-dimensional domain $Ω$ with a homogeneous Dirichlet condition. The fractional derivative is taken in the sense of Caputo. The main goal of the work is to solve the inverse problem of simultaneously determining two parameters: the order of the fractional derivative $ρ$ and the degree of the Laplace operator $σ$. A new formulation and solution method for this in…
