The state department has barred five Europeans from the US, accusing them of leading efforts to pressure tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints
“These radical activists and weaponized NGOs have advanced censorship crackdowns by foreign states – in each case targeting American speakers and American companies,” Rubio said in an announcement.

I don't normally do advent calendars because I don't enjoy eating chocolate.
But then I was in the supermarket today and they had a cheese advent calendar and now I'm like a 10-year-old excitedly impatient for December to arrive just so I can start!
#Cheese
Wunschzeit im Advent! ✨ Ab dem 7. Dezember könnt ihr wieder nach oben schauen und euch etwas wünschen, denn dann beginnt der aktivste Sternschnuppenstrom des Jahres: die Geminiden!

I managed to get out and I can confirm snow and ice on forest roads.
But it was fine. It all was a bit more technically challenging than usual.
Maybe I've got to clean my bike tomorrow.

Benders Decomposition for Passenger-Oriented Train Timetabling with Hybrid Periodicity

Abstract: Periodic timetables are widely adopted in passenger railway operations due to their regular service patterns and well-coordinated train connections. However, fluctuations in passenger demand require varying train services across different periods, necessitating adjustments to the periodic timetable. This study addresses a hybrid periodic train timetabling problem, which enhances the flexibility and demand responsiveness of a given periodic timetable through schedule adjustments and aperiodic train insertions, taking into account the rolling stock circulation. Since timetable modifications may affect initial passenger routes, passenger routing is incorporated into the problem to guide planning decisions towards a passenger-oriented objective. Using a time-space network representation, the problem is formulated as a dynamic railway service network design model with resource constraints. To handle the complexity of real-world instances, we propose a decomposition-based algorithm integrating Benders decomposition and column generation, enhanced with multiple preprocessing and accelerating techniques. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm and highlight the advantage of hybrid periodic timetables in reducing passenger travel costs.
