The American Liberty Foundation,
a political action committee (Pac) tied to GOP Senator Jim Jordan,
last year received $250,000 in “dark money” payments from Geo Group,
the Florida-headquartered company that runs dozens of detention centers on behalf of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across the country.
The money transfer came 11 days after the passing of the president’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act last July,
which saw the federal government’s budge…

One of the views of a recent hike. After quite a while I reached the ridge and finally got the south bound views.
I took some photos while having a little rest and then went on to the summit ...
That day I really noticed how great the rests work together with making photos. And also one of the things that I can hardly do when hiking in a group.
some more of the story:

Sim, porque os traficantes vão querer vir nas suas lanchinhas de noite e quando lhes disserem que é proibido vão dizer "ui, que chatice, jš não podemos, é proibido".

Warum kommt das immer wieder vor. Unregelmäßigkeiten von Abgeordneten werden immer wieder öffentlich bekannt (zB Marine LePen) - Und doch glauben manche, sie kämen damit durch. Warum wehrt man sich gegen eine Überprüfung? Dass das Parlament einer staatsanwaltschaftlichen Ermittlung den Weg verbaut, ist schlicht ein Skandal.
Nebenbei: Bei der CSU wundert mich ohnehin schon lange nichts mehr. 👎 😠 :mastorage:

So I saw this through the glass doors of an office over the weekend, and this is their company “motto”
“LIBERATING OUR CLIENTS FROM THE BURDEN OF BEING OVERTAXED, FREEING THEIR CAPITAL TO INVEST, GROW & THRIVE”
One of my eyes rolled so hard that it fell out.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) recirculating flows are often interpreted qualitatively from selected streamline visualizations. In separated flows, such recirculating motion is central to the drag modulation, but the local orientation of recirculation remains difficult to quantify in a field-based form. This work introduces an Eulerian binormal-axis diagnostic that locally evaluates the orientation of streamline turning at each point in the velocity field, yielding a spatially resolved field of the recirculating direction. Motivated by the Frenet-Serret binormal direction of a curved streamline, the diagnostic uses the velocity vector and its convective acceleration to extract the local streamline-turning axis without requiring explicit streamline integration. The resulting direction is encoded with barycentric RGB weights to visualize streamwise, spanwise, and wall-normal turning axis contributions. The diagnostic is first applied to Hill's spherical vortex, which provides a controlled analytic example of 3D recirculating motion for interpreting the binormal-axis direction and the associated barycentric RGB encoding. It is then applied to the mean field of a pressure-gradient-induced 3D separation bubble. The resulting visualizations show that the diagnostic reveals orientation changes that are not apparent from streamline visualization. The proposed diagnostic therefore converts qualitative streamline impressions into a spatially resolved measure of local streamline-turning orientation, providing a quantitative complement to conventional 3D flow visualization.
