A silent scenery in four acts...
(Selenium-toned[1] 4x6 salt print (still in final wash) plus previous work-in-progress stages... see alt text for details)
The picture/motif itself is one of my personal favorites and was taken 4 years ago in the Alpstein massif, when clouds were spontaneously forming around us, creating a wonderful light/scene/drama and a dear memory... now also as print which likely will/can outlast myself
[1] The tones will become more neutral once dry...…

Ministerie hield kritisch rapport over corruptie onder de pet
Het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid begroef een kritisch rapport over corruptie bij de overheid omdat het kwalitatief onder de maat zou zijn. Follow the Money kreeg het met een beroep op de Woo in handen. Experts vinden het wel degelijk een goed rapport: Nederland is kwetsbaar voor corruptie en Den Haag doet er te weinig tegen.

Gaussian path model library for intuitive robot motion programming by demonstration
This paper presents a system for generating Gaussian path models from teaching data representing the path shape. In addition, methods for using these path models to classify human demonstrations of paths are introduced. By generating a library of multiple Gaussian path models of various shapes, human demonstrations can be used for intuitive robot motion programming. A method for modifying existing Gaussian path models by demonstration through geometric analysis is also presented.

faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

Jenna Norton, a program director at the National Institutes of Health, says she has been put on paid leave following the end of the government shutdown.
"I was not given a reason for being put on leave, but I strongly suspect it is because I have been speaking up in my personal capacity about the harms that I have been witnessing inside the National Institutes of Health," she said in a video posted to TikTok.
The notice Norton received from human resources stated that the…
