Football analogy time:

The GOP thinks they are....
-Michigan vs Western Michigan
-Iowa vs Michigan
-Baltimore Ravens vs Dallas Cowboys

.....and can pull off a last second victory (the midterms) with some last second 'hail mary' type tactics and distortions of the truth (and total lies)

Albania is predominantly Muslim - during WWII, it was over 70%. Every Jew who arrived, escaping from elsewhere, was hidden by local families. Close to 100% survived.

Shines a spotlight on Zionist hatred, lies and historical distortions.

He adds: "The industry's attempts to knock down the reclassification effort apparently had limited success."

Optimal Project Management
By Bonatti, Cetemen, Toikka
We study optimal dynamic contracts for long-term projects where a risk-averse agent exerts hidden effort to increase the drift of a Brownian process toward a com- pletion threshold. Relative to the first best, the optimal contract slows progress, makes success less likely, induces earlier termination, and narrows project scope. Allowing for costly project resets generates further distortions: resets may be excessive or insufficient depending on the residual effort required afterwards. With endogenous risk taking, optimal incentives introduce penalties for failure and reduce rewards for effort above a critical progress level, resulting in discontinuous and nonmonotonic effort in progress. In the baseline model, the optimal contract can be implemented with linear spot contracts that require no long-term commitment.

The harshest pushback came from practitioners who had tested the software. Several pointed out that while the marketing demos looked slick, the real outputs suffered from severe distortions and errors that made them useless for actual 3D design work. 2/4

Asked aboard the papal plane Monday about Germany’s far right, Pope Leo XIV said its fusion with “a certain kind of religion” is “not an authentic expression of Christianity.”

The values of the Gospel, he said, “are not about hatred and division.”

I don't want those two who have tried to make me into the most horribly violently criminal being who has ever incarnated into human form simply because I had a mentally ill person's trauma response that I took accountability for to ever bother me again. There is no reason they should ever seek me.
