#DOGE #Deposition Videos Taken Down After Judge Order and Widespread Mockery
A judge on Friday ordered the immediate removal of a series of #depositions of members of DOGE, but not before clips of the depositions, including one in which a member was largely unable to define #DEI , went viral and were covered widely,

The Balvenie
Photographer Ernie Button explores the stains left behind when various liquors evaporate. This one comes from a single malt scotch whisky by The Balvenie. The stain itself is made up of particles left behind when the alcohol and water in the whisky evaporate. The pattern itself depends on a careful interplay between surface tension, evaporation, pinning forces, and internal convection as the whisky puddle dries out. (Image credit: E.

Quick-Drying, Fast-Cracking
Water droplets filled with nanoparticles leave behind deposits as they evaporate. Like a coffee ring, particles in the evaporating droplet tend to gather at the drop’s edge (left). As the water evaporates, the deposit grows inward (center) and cracks start to form radially. After just a couple minutes, the solid deposit covers the entire area of the original droplet and is shot through with cracks (right).
Researchers found that the cracks’ patterns and propagation are predictable through a model that balances the local elastic energy and and the energy cost of fracture. They also found that the spacing between radial cracks depends on the deposit’s local thickness. Besides explaining the patterns seen here, these cracking models could help analyze old paintings, where cracks could hide information about the artist’s methods and the artwork’s condition.

[during a presentation recently, I was reminded of this 2015 paper’s content today (on which I was a co-author), back when papers wanted B&W images; I wonder how we might have proceeded now, with AI / Machine Learning…]

#NYAG showed various emails from around that time, #Ivanka said she didn’t recall much about the details of the financing process.
In response to several questions by NYAG atty Solomon, Ivanka said that she remembered Solomon asking her the question at her #deposition, but doesn't recall the events at issue.
The #TrumpOrganization purchased #Doral in November 2011 for $150M, financed by a #loan from #DeutscheBank.
