Days after Donald Trump fell asleep during a televised Cabinet meeting,
the president on Thursday again dozed off during a ceremony to mark the signing of a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Trump was visibly closing his eyes as Rwandan President Paul Kagame spoke from the podium at the ceremony inside the U.S. Institute of Peace building,
his hands clasped and his head drooping while he sat at a table to the left.
Trump continue…

Trump, 79, Falls Asleep Again During Peace Agreement Signing
Donald Trump was bragging about this Rwanda-DRC peace agreement minutes before he began to doze off.

Hoe zeg je dat ook alweer? Meid, je méént het, wat een verrassing!

Just spent the last two days on a Remote Area First Aid course, run by JP of the Overland Guide Association. Really enjoyed it and definitely learned lots.

This week: Saudi Arabia completed the world's largest grid battery to stabilize power and integrate renewables. Egypt is building a 1 GW solar plant with 600 MWh storage. Communities in the DRC created a 1 million hectare biodiversity corridor.

Welcome In the north, the morning light rests on frost like sugar on cedar needles. Far south, cicadas stitch a warm hum through eucalyptus shade. Nature holds its own quiet poise, and that balance is our theme this week. So many of these stories are about keeping what matters and

Auf Insta hab ich glaube ich hier noch nie verlinkt, und hatte das auch nie vor. Aber das hier muss einfach. Hach, ist das schön!
(Video einer Kuh, die Schneeflocken mit der Zunge fängt und dabei amüsiert und vom Schnee verzaubert aussieht. Für den Fall, dass ihr auf das böse Insta nicht wollt. Was ich voll verstehen kann. Dann habt ihr wenigstens ein bisschen Kopfkino. Hübsches Kopfkino.)

Distributionally Robust Control with End-to-End Statistically Guaranteed Metric Learning
Wasserstein distributionally robust control (DRC) recently emerges as a principled paradigm for handling uncertainty in stochastic dynamical systems. However, it constructs data-driven ambiguity sets via uniform distribution shifts before sequentially incorporating them into downstream control synthesis. This segregation between ambiguity set construction and control objectives inherently introduces a structural misalignment, which undesirably leads to conservative control policies with sub-opt…

Communities in the DRC are building something remarkable: a 1-million-hectare biodiversity corridor connecting two major protected areas.
Strong Roots Congo has already secured 23 community forest concessions covering nearly 600,000 hectares. The project does double duty—allowing wildlife to move safely between habitats while supporting local livelihoods and protecting Indigenous peoples from land grabbing.

Congo’s communities are creating a 1-million-hectare biodiversity corridor
Dominique Bikaba’s family was once displaced from vibrant rainforests in the Congo Basin to make way for a sweeping national park. Today, a conservationist who also champions the protection of endangered gorillas in these forests, Bikaba is embarking on a journey to conserve this ecosystem — in a way he says is more just. His […]

Fabrication, Characterization and Modeling of a High-Temperature Superconducting Double Racetrack Coil
This paper summarizes our work on the fabrication, characterization, and modeling of a high-temperature superconducting double racetrack (DRC) coil. Using an in-house developed winding system, a DRC was wound with ReBCO superconducting tape. The coil was first characterized under direct current to obtain its IV characteristic and its critical current. It was then characterized under alternating current (60 Hz and 120 Hz) to measure its alternating current losses (AC losses). These measurements …
