Trump is attending the U.S. Open on Sunday as a guest of Rolex despite imposing steep tariffs on the Swiss watchmaker’s home country
-- and with organizers seeking to keep any audience booing of him from being seen on the TV broadcast.
Trump has built the bulk of his second term’s domestic travel around attending major sports events rather than hitting the road to make policy announcements or address the kind of large rallies he so relished as a candidate

Trump's US Open visit lead to boos, long security lines
President Donald Trump attended the U.S. Open on Sunday, drawing boos from the crowd. His presence delayed the men's final due to heightened security, causing long lines for many people who didn't make it in before play started. Trump briefly appeared before the event, receiving mixed reactions from the then-mostly empty Arthur Ashe Stadium. During the National Anthem, he was shown on the big screen, which increased the volume of boos. Boos got more intense later in the match. Organizers delaye…

Spectral Properties of Anomalous Microwave Emission in 144 Galactic Clouds
Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a diffuse microwave component thought to arise from spinning dust grains, yet remains poorly understood. We analyze AME in 144 Galactic clouds by combining low-frequency maps from S-PASS (2.3 GHz), C-BASS (4.76 GHz), and QUIJOTE (10-20 GHz) with 21 ancillary maps. Using aperture photometry and parametric SED fitting via MCMC methods without informative priors, we measure AME emissivity, peak frequency, and spectral width. We achieve peak frequency constrain…

Fast X-ray Transient detection with AXIS: application to Magnetar Giant Flares
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are among the most luminous high-energy transients in the local universe, consisting of a short, intense MeV gamma-ray spike followed by a softer, pulsating X-ray tail and possibly delayed radioactive emission. While only three Galactic events have been firmly detected, several extragalactic candidates have recently been reported, motivating the need for sensitive, rapid-response gamma- and X-ray facilities to constrain their rates and energetics. We present a feasi…

Criteria for Credible AI-assisted Carbon Footprinting Systems: The Cases of Mapping and Lifecycle Modeling
As organizations face increasing pressure to understand their corporate and products' carbon footprints, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted calculation systems for footprinting are proliferating, but with widely varying levels of rigor and transparency. Standards and guidance have not kept pace with the technology; evaluation datasets are nascent; and statistical approaches to uncertainty analysis are not yet practical to apply to scaled systems. We present a set of criteria to validate AI-a…

A Contextual Seven-Valued Logic (\emph{Saptabhangīnaya}) for Quantum Systems
The quantum measurement problem is often presented as a conflict between unitary evolution and non-unitary collapse. Drawing on Wittgenstein's later philosophy of language and Bohr's principle of complementarity, we argue that this conflict is a grammatical illusion arising from cross-context conflations. To address this, we introduce a contextual seven-valued logic modeled on the Jaina doctrine of \emph{saptabhangīnaya} (sevenfold predication). In one formulation, each proposition is assigned…

Bundeskabinett bringt Wehrdienst-Gesetz und Sicherheitsrat auf den Weg
Das Bundeskabinett hat das neue Wehrdienst-Modell verabschiedet, das der Bundeswehr zu mehr Soldatinnen und Soldaten verhelfen soll. Das Modell von Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius beruht weitgehend auf Freiwilligkeit, eine Wiedereinsetzung der Wehrpflicht ist vorerst nicht vorgesehen. Für junge Männer wird allerdings ab Mit…

Was das neue Gesetz zum Wehrdienst vorsieht
Musterung ja, aber kein Zwang zum Wehrdienst: Mehr als 14 Jahre nach Aussetzung der Wehrpflicht in Deutschland soll ein neues Wehrdienstgesetz die Bundeswehr personell stärken. Was genau ist geplant? Was sagen Kritiker?

On November 5th, Trump will keep trying to blur truth and fiction through his staged shadow hearings.
Our answer will be simple:
Circles of light around our local government buildings.
Testimony shared openly and honestly.
A united message: The people are watching.
Some will stand silently in person.
Some will speak through livestreams and digital testimony.

Together, we will form a national chorus of truth.

The Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation with Dirac matrices in the chiral representation: closed expressions for energy operators of fermions moving in electrostatic fields
In this paper, we obtain the closed expressions for energy operators in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation in the presence of electrostatic fields. We also establish the connection between the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation and the Feynman-Gell-Mann representation.

Nonlinear mechanical metamaterial cloaks
The concept of cloaking -- hiding objects from external detection -- has seen wide success in linear systems. Yet, translating these advancements to nonlinear mechanical systems remains an open challenge. Here, we present a new approach to nonlinear mechanical cloaking that frames cloaking as an optimization problem aimed at replicating a target mechanical response. We solve this problem using a differentiable simulation framework coupled with gradient-based optimization. We implement this appr…

The president of the United States is invading multiple US cities and liberal strongholds, in troop deployments that are now the primary component of his vast, lawless, smash-and-grab efforts to shred the nation’s constitutional and democratic order, all in the service of his personality cult.
And his enthusiasm for doing so is partially, and meaningfully, fueled by how mad he gets while binge-watching hours and hours of TV, current and former Trump advisers tell Zeteo.

Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy
Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.
