Moscow to hold battlefield nuclear drills after Macron and Cameron comments
Russia has threatened to strike British military facilities and ordered its military to hold battlefield nuclear weapons drills in a move the Kremlin described as a response to comments from the French president, Emmanuel Macron, on western troops fighting in Ukraine and from the British foreign secretary, David Cameron, on using British-supplied weapons against Russia.
The Russian defence ministry said i…

A fisherman in Union County, #Tennessee thought he’d hooked the big one, but it turned out to be an alligator!
TWRA thinks it had been someone’s illegal pet, released into Lake Norris. The gator is now at a rescue facility (at least until Governor Stankbooty Lee can get fitted for a new pair of boots).

A Tennessee fisherman reeled in a big one. It turned out to be an alligator
An angler in northeast Tennessee caught a surprise when he was fishing at a lake. Stuck on his bait was a 3- to 4-foot long alligator, which are not native to that part of Tennessee. A Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency arrived on Monday at Norris Lake to find the alligator pinned to the ground behind the head. A spokesperson for the wildlife agency says the alligator was taken to a nearby exotic animal rescue facility and while the origin of the alligator isn't clear, it is evident that it wa…

NFL analyst views Detroit Lions as prime designation for star defensive back
As the NFL free agency period unfolds, the Detroit Lions have found themselves at the center of speculation surrounding veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Initially, the idea of Gilmore joining the Lions seemed plausible, especially with the team’s acquisitions of Carlton Davis and Amik Robertson. However, when news broke of Cameron Sutton’s legal troubles and subsequent release by the Lions, the prospect of Gilmore donning the Honolulu Blue gained traction once again. Despite Gilmore’s …

Polish authorities detain and deport two Ukrainian journalists investigating Russia-Poland trade: https://benborges.xyz/2024/03/13/polish-authorities-detain.html

The Carrizo Comecrudo endured slavery by the Spanish, indoctrination by Catholic mission schools, intrusion by Big Oil, and fragmentation by the Mexican border and by Trump’s border wall.
Now, they face the desecration of their sacred lands by liquefied natural gas plants and the SpaceX launch center, “Starbase.”
Last May, the tribe joined the environmental groups Save RGV and the Sierra Club in a lawsuit against Cameron County and the Texas General Land Office, stating that bloc…

Dynamic Frequency Assignment for Mobile Users in Multibeam Satellite Constellations
Mobile users such as airplanes or ships will constitute an important segment of the future satellite communications market. Operators are now able to leverage digital payloads that allow flexible resource allocation policies that are robust against dynamic user bases. One of the key problems is managing the frequency spectrum efficiently, which has not been sufficiently explored for mobile users. To address this gap, we propose a dynamic frequency management algorithm based on linear programm…

The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12b from its phase curve
Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets at extreme conditions. WASP-12b stands out as an archetype of this class of exoplanets. We performed comprehensive analyses of the transits, occultations, and phase curves of WASP-12b by combining new CHEOPS observations with previous TESS and Spitzer data to measure the planet's tidal deformation, atmospheric properties, and orbital decay rate. The planet was modeled as a triaxial ellipsoid param…
