The trace of field equations for higher-derivative gravity and an equality associating the Lagrangian density with a divergence term
We figure out the explicit expression for the trace of the field equations associated to higher derivative theories of gravity endowed with Lagrangians depending upon the metric and its Riemann tensor, together with arbitrary order covariant derivatives of the Riemann tensor. Then an equality linking the Lagrangian density with the divergence of a vector field is proposed under a constraint on the Lagrangian density. As a significant application, we further obtain an equality to establish the r…

Escalating the friction between Washington and one of its closest allies in Latin America,
Donald Trump said Sunday, the United States will slash assistance to Colombia because its leader, Gustavo Petro,
“does nothing to stop” drug production"
The U.S. president warned that Petro “better close up” drug operations “or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.”

Trump announces an end to US aid to Colombia
It's a war of words between President Donald Trump and Colombian leader Gustavo Petro over illegal drugs, with hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid hanging in the balance. Trump says he'll slash U.S. assistance and enact tariffs because Colombia's leftist president “does nothing to stop” drug production and is an “illegal drug leader.” Petro is rejecting the accusations and defending his work to fight narcotics in Colombia, the world’s largest exporter of cocaine. Colombia …

Was chatting with the guy next to me in the airport lounge in Istanbul. He's a Zürcher, and *he* considers Singapore "too clean". This from a city where people wipe down the outsides of trashcans. But here's one from SG of people vigorously scrubbing escalator steps.

'Extremely dangerous provocation,'
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has responded to the reports of three Russian fighter jets violating the Estonian airspace.
In a statement on X, she said:
“Today’s violation of Estonia’s airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation.
This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region.
The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia.
