„Es scheint, dass jemand in der Wortwäscherei der israelischen Armee nicht zur Arbeit erschienen ist. Der in der Sache wichtige Punkt ist, dass Konzentration der Bevölkerung als Ziel der Operation definiert ist, nicht als Mittel, um andere Ziele zu erreichen. Es geht also nicht um die vorübergehende Zwangs­umsiedlung in ein anderes Gebiet, bis die Kampfhandlungen beendet sind. Es geht um ein Ziel, das erreicht werden soll.“

Elementary Functions and NOT Following the IEEE 754 Floating-Point Standard — TRYING TO FIND THE OBVIOUS
The IEEE-754 Standard for floating-point numbers was introduced initially in 1985 to solve the problem of diverse floating point implementations prevent code being portable and increase stability across platforms. It has been widely adopted and revised over the last 30 years and if you have dealt

Intersection numbers between horizontal foliations of quadratic differentials
We establish that the intersection number between the horizontal foliations of any two finite-area holomorphic quadratic differentials on an arbitrary Riemann surface is finite. Our main result shows that the intersection number is jointly continuous in the $L^1$-norm on the quadratic differentials. A corollary is that the Jenkins-Strebel differentials are not dense in the space of all finite-area holomorphic quadratic differentials when the infinite Riemann surface is not parabolic.
