War cabinet member Benny Gantz on Saturday canceled a news conference planned for the evening, during which he was expected to announce his National Unity party was leaving the government.
In a May 18 speech, Gantz issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the premier present an agreed-upon vision for Gaza’s post-war governance.
If Netanyahu failed to do so by June 8, the former Israel Defense Forces chief of staff threatened to pull his centrist Nationa…

War cabinet member was expected to quit government after PM failed to present 'day after' Gaza plan by deadline he set; unclear if press conference will be rescheduled

Good morning friends 🙋
One more photo from last year's hike.
I took this right after the last photo. After the path bent around the rocks, it went rather even with a very light incline along this side of the ridge.
This great view ahead, I just went on to see how far I could go in reasonable time.
I knew it would become chill quickly with the sun going down

A Mid-November Sunday Adventure
A spontaneous Sunday unfolded into a picturesque adventure of biking and hiking. The crisp mid-November air led me to a summit, a hidden meadow bathed in sunshine and tranquility. It felt like a moment frozen in time, urging me to extend the journey and embrace the unexpected beauty of the day.

"We're spending about $2 billion per day servicing interest [on the US national debt]. Is that where Americans want their hard-earned tax dollars going?..
"Beware, because the nature of debt crises is that no one can see them coming.. Government debt is a wonderful invention..
"But if the debt gets too big, the government might not be able to respond so decisively next time."

Our U.S. debt is bigger than our economic output. Consequences include ballooning interest payments and potential trust issues.

Young child gets emotional hearing the National Anthem for the first time 🇺🇸😭 Best thing you’ll see all day!! 🔊🔊

Have been grappling a bit with today: a day trip to Geneva by plane to talk sea level rise and Antarctic ice sheet melt. Many very nice comments afterwards and surprisingly high support from the people in the room (primarily directors of national hydromet institutes or their reps) for better, more consistent time series of climate data from #Antarctica, which we desperately need to understand the processes better. Still, I can't help worrying about the CO2

«Publicly-traded tech giants “are beholden to the share price, not to doing what’s right for the customer all the time. That’s just a reality of capitalism. You’re never going to change that in a public company because at the end of the day, they want the shareholder value to go up.”»
How can these bad incentives be compensated or eliminated? (Without a 180° turn of the entire society)

I literally finished work for the day when Spain and Croatia were done singing their national anthems, and opened my congratulatory beer with the first whistle 😎 Hungary v Switzerland was crazy satisfying to peek at. Spain v Croatia better not be a snooze 🙂 🍺 📺

Weather conditions at Timau National Observatory from ERA5
A new observatory site should be investigated for its local climate conditions to see its potential and limitations. In this respect, we examine several meteorological parameters at the site of Timau National Observatory, Indonesia using the ERA5 dataset from 2002 to 2021. Based on this dataset, we conclude that the surface temperature at Timau is around 18.9 C with a relatively small temperature variation (1.5 C) over the day. This temperature stability is expected to give advantages to the ob…

Nonlinear Interactions of Planetary-Scale Waves in Mesospheric Winds Observed at 52{\deg}N Latitude and Two Longitudes

Nonlinear Interactions of Planetary-Scale Waves in Mesospheric Winds Observed at 52°N Latitude and Two Longitudes
Nine years of mesospheric wind data from two meteor radars at 52°N latitude were analyzed to investigate planetary waves (PWs) and tides by estimating their zonal wavenumber through longitudinal phase differences. Our results reveal that PW normal modes (NMs) primarily drive multi-day oscillations, showing seasonal variability and statistical associations with Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) events. Specifically, a significant 6-day NM emerges in April, followed by predominant 4- and 2-day …

Text Information Retrieval in Tetun: A Preliminary Study
Tetun is one of Timor-Leste's official languages alongside Portuguese. It is a low-resource language with over 932,400 speakers that started developing when Timor-Leste restored its independence in 2002. The media mainly uses Tetun, and more than ten national online newspapers actively broadcast news in Tetun every day. However, since information retrieval-based solutions for Tetun do not exist, finding Tetun information on the internet is challenging. This work aims to investigate and develop …

The birth of StatPhys: The 1949 Florence conference at the juncture of national and international physics reconstruction after World War II
In spring 1949 about 70 physicists from eight countries met in Florence to discuss recent trends in statistical mechanics. This scientific gathering, co-organized by the Commission on Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and the Italian Physical Society (SIF), initiated a tradition of IUPAP-sponsored international conferences on statistical mechanics that lasts to this day. In 1977, when this conference series took the name of S…
