8 Affordable Ways to Support Local Artists
Stan Stewart - @muz4now

While it may not feel like it since January,
the rule of law still matters.
The U.S. remains a signatory to dozens of international agreements related to the use of force,
which ultimately protect our national security interests.
We have a raft of U.S. laws, including a Constitution and Bill of Rights,
that determine how and when our nation may legally engage in conflict abroad.
We are ill-served as a public when the most crucial decision a government can …

Trump endangers US by ignoring rule of law – Marin Independent Journal - EUROPE SAYS
Congressional approval for military engagement still matters. Here’s why.

This seems bad. We just learned in the past week via @… that ICE agents are searching Flock cameras nationwide, and so did a Texas cop trying to track down a woman who got an out-of-state abortion. Now, without any guardrails against that, a crypto billionaire wants $9m more of these cameras in SF.
There's an ordinance to accept the gift that will…

Introduction to the theory of generalized locally Toeplitz sequences and its applications
The theory of generalized locally Toeplitz (GLT) sequences was conceived as an apparatus for computing the spectral distribution of matrices arising from the numerical discretization of differential equations (DEs). The purpose of this review is to introduce the reader to the theory of GLT sequences and to present some of its applications to the computation of the spectral distribution of DE discretization matrices. We mainly focus on the applications, whereas the theory is presented in a self-…

BLAKE: [V.O.] Avon, give me a rundown check on what you're going to do.
AVON: We teleport directly into the Forbidden Zone, we make an analysis of the defence systems, and then we teleport directly to your location. [Inside the church]

The predicable dance of random walk: local limit theorems on finitely-generated abelian groups
In random walk theory, it is customary to assume that a given walk is irreducible and/or aperiodic. While these prevailing assumptions make particularly tractable the analysis of random walks and help to highlight their diffusive nature, they eliminate a natural phenomenon: the dance. This dance can be seen, for example, in the so-called simple random walk on the integers where a random walker moves back and forth between even and odd integers. It can also be seen in the random walk on the inte…

A single paragraph buried deep in a spending bill that passed the GOP-controlled House of Representatives earlier this month is causing growing concern among democracy watchdogs
-- who warn the provision will make it so only the well-to-do would be in a good position to launch legal challenges against a Trump administration that has shown over and over again its disdain and disregard for oversight or judicial restraint of any kind.
Coming just about half-way through what Presiden…

'This Is What Autocrats Do': Concern Grows Over Single Paragraph Buried Deep in GOP Bill | Common Dreams
The provision would force those challenging Trump "to pay up in the form of a posted bond—something many people can't afford to do. That means only the wealthy will be able to even attempt to challenge the most powerful man in the country."

Data-Driven Multiscale Topology Optimization of Spinodoid Architected Materials with Controllable Anisotropy
Spinodoid architected materials have drawn significant attention due to their unique nature in stochasticity, aperiodicity, and bi-continuity. Compared to classic periodic truss-, beam- and plate-based lattice architectures, spinodoids are insensitive to manufacturing defects, scalable for high throughput production, functionally graded by tunable local properties, and material failure resistant due to low-curvature morphology. However, the design of spinodoids is often hindered by the curse of…

New test unmasks illegal elephant ivory disguised as mammoth #AnimalRights

New test unmasks illegal elephant ivory disguised as mammoth
Poachers are using a sneaky loophole to bypass the international ivory trade ban—by passing off illegal elephant ivory as legal mammoth ivory. Since the two types look deceptively similar, law enforcement struggles to tell them apart, especially when tusks are carved or polished. But scientists may have found a powerful new tool: stable isotope analysis.
