Entitled Child Expects To Eat Lunch Every Day
ALTOONA, PA—Saying the pampered 6-year-old seemed to think someone should provide her with a midday meal on a regular basis, sources told reporters Thursday that local entitled child Harper Wiley expected to eat lunch each day of her young life. “Can you imagine? Not just on the odd occasion, but every single day!” said a source […]

Blueberry Crumb Cake Recipe
It’s easy to find an occasion to serve this cake — breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or snacktime will do. The dominant flavor here is the berries. Don’t be tempted to increase the amount of walnuts in the topping — scarcity makes them even more delightful.

This survey has a few hours of life left, but I've gone ahead and chosen "Innocuous In Innisfil." That feels right and suits my general objective to be harmless and not give offense or arouse strong feelings. Although I've failed that objective on occasion.

Whenever someone talks to me at a party, I stare into the distance and say, "The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower, suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day and now I place them here in memory of something that has died." Quite the icebreaker.

We have translators who work on commission for the journal I edit (it's a bilingual publication - articles are in either English or French with abstracts and author bios for every article in both languages). The translators tend to be pretty good, most often only having trouble with technical terms (which is understandable - this happens when you're not a specialist). Still, on occasion, they manage to produce something spectacularly bad. No, the French for "He is" is not &…

Fedi -Power, do your magic, please!
I lost a source. I remember that one fedi being destroyed the concept of "field-weighted citation impact (FWCI)" on the occasion of the Elsevier-Report "Germany as a science nation", published in May, 2025, I think this figure was shown in the toot. But I can't find it anymore. Can anybody help me? Thank you!

Brittiskt bitskt om Macrons tal i underhuset, som han så klart kom en dryg halvtimme för sent till: ”If the speech had a theme, it’s that the UK and France need each other more than ever. On our own, we are vulnairable. We must be more hrrrrobust. These two words in particular were the full Clouseau.
The US wants a trade war; China can’t be trusted.”

Lessons in system engineering the Internet and why it matters today
System Engineering evangelists Larry Peterson and Bruce Davie analyze the system approach behind the Internet in their new book. A combination of first principles analysis, collaboration, luck, and a willingness to rethink a few assumptions enabled the Internet to become the most successful engineering project in history.

Two Years On: A Conversation with DFG on Supporting Open Access Books
It has been two years since OAPEN launched a dedicated collection of DFG-funded open access books. Part of this collection is supported by the DFG Open Access Publication Funding programme. To mark this occasion, OAPEN’s Funder Relations Manager, Laura Bandura-Morgan, interviewed Michael Geuenich, Programme Officer, Scientific Library Services and Information Systems, and Dr. Angela Holzer, … Continue reading "Two Years On: A Conversation with DFG on Supporting Open Access Books"

I can finally say I've had a small piece of the web that's all mine for a **decade** as of today 🥳
It's a little indulgent, but I decided to mark the occasion by piecing together a rough timeline for my personal site. It ended up being quite the fun thread to pull on 😁

From Model-Based and Adaptive Control to Evolving Fuzzy Control
Evolving fuzzy systems build and adapt fuzzy models - such as predictors and controllers - by incrementally updating their rule-base structure from data streams. On the occasion of the 60-year anniversary of fuzzy set theory, commemorated during the Fuzz-IEEE 2025 event, this brief paper revisits the historical development and core contributions of classical fuzzy and adaptive modeling and control frameworks. It then highlights the emergence and significance of evolving intelligent systems in f…

As the debate over the BBB moves to the Senate, the immediate imperative is to
expose the damage the bill does to millions of Trump’s voters
to benefit his Mar-a-Lago and crypto-wealthy friends.
But it’s also an occasion to shatter the illusion that Trump is some sort of policy innovator.
Extremism and authoritarianism are not new ideas, and his legislative program would be familiar to Calvin Coolidge. 

A New Working-Class GOP? If “Working-Class” Means $4.3 Million a Year!
Last year, Trump won praise for building a new GOP. But the Big, Beautiful Bill utterly shatters the illusion that he is some sort of brilliant policy innovator.

Harmoknight: completed!
Harmoknight is best described as a rhythm platformer, although the platforming is basic at best and the rhythms are simple. You have two buttons - a jump, and an attack - and you have to either jump or attack in time with the music's beat. In most cases it's sufficient to react in time to seeing the gap or enemy, but on occasion the screen zooms in and reaction times are just too long; it's at this point that you'll lose too many lives and have…
