An OWL ontology for representing historical place knowledge as attestations: bundles of evidence linking SpatialEntities (places, routes, networks, and other entities related to place) to Names, Geometries, Timespans, Types, and Authorities with full provenance.PLATO formalises the World Historical Gazetteer v4 data model, in which the Attestation is the fundamental unit of contributed knowledge. The Linked Places Format (LPF) is defined as its single-object-attestation profile, so existing LPF files remain valid; the use cases of Linked Traces are accommodated within the same model.Developed by the Pelagios Network's Place Working Group, led by the Institute for Spatial History Innovation (ISHI), University of Pittsburgh.Status: early draft, published for discussion and review. Not yet stable.

This is ten lists of references about the English and Enlightenment deists. For the Enlightenment deists, it has bibliographic references for self-identifited deists and references for over seven hundred Enlightenment deists. Furthermore, it has references to the deists who wrote prayers or hymns to God. Additionally, for the English deists, it has references to those who believed the human conscience was a divinely given faculty and those who believed in miracles.

Behavior changes
Speasy now requires pysciqlop-cache 0.2.2. Existing caches are kept as they are; nothing is
migrated. 0.2.2 raises OSError when a cache value can't be written (full disk, quota), instead
of silently dropping it.
New features
AMDA private parameters: once your AMDA credentials are configured, parameters you can access
through an AMDA private group appear under spz.inventories.tree.amda.PrivateParameters.
They are cached like public data but never go through the proxy server.
(https://github.com/SciQLop/speasy/pull/372)
Performance
Data from the proxy server can now be sent with blosc (byte-shuffle + zstd per array) instead of
zstd over the whole response: about half the size on float time series, and faster to decode.
Install the new speasy[blosc] extra (numcodecs) to use it. Speasy now decodes proxy responses
according to their Content-Type, so any client/server version combination works.

This record contains two Python scripts created specifically for the article “Defocused imaging of phase objects using a single lens,” accepted for publication in the Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física.
1) T.pyGenerates two images:
Tobject.png — displays the spatial phase modulation used in the simulations, defined as a T-shaped object with smoothed edges.
Timage.png — displays the images produced by the same phase object in a single-lens defocused imaging system, for positive, negative, and zero defocusing.
2) Validity.pyDisplays the profiles of several defocused images along the y=0 axis for different values of the defocusing distance.

On November 4, 2025, Indian-American Zohran Mamdani was elected as the first Muslim mayor of New York City. The city’s immigrants and young white liberals were central to his triumph. His platform combined left-wing economics and a ‘woke’ position on cultural issues with support for the Palestinians against Israel. This raised the question of whether a new ‘Third Worldist’ ideology was ascendant on the American left, a set of ideas that will set the tone for the next generation of progressive politics. The success of Rashida Tlaib in Detroit, Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary point in the same direction.
This report draws on a survey which oversamples liberals and Muslims to explore the level of support for Third Worldism. It finds that there is a substantial Third Worldist constituency which unites American liberals and American Muslims - including conservative Muslims. Attitudes toward the West, America, Israel and socialism tend to be correlated within individuals. An ‘oppressor versus oppressed’ power lens is applied by Third Worldists domestically and internationally, culturally and economically. Finally, the study uncovers an Extreme Third Worldist segment of public opinion which comprises fully one quarter of American liberals and nearly 4 in 10 American Muslims.
While Third Worldism and antisemitism are not strongly correlated, the Islamo-left coalition draws together liberals, who are less antisemitic than average, with Muslims, who are more antisemitic than the average American. This raises the possibility that antisemitism may accompany anti-Israel sentiment in parts of this new coalition.
The rise of Third Worldism as the left’s cardinal belief system presages a realignment of the American left and wider Democratic Party away from liberal Jews, most of whom are attached to Israel, toward the fast-growing American Muslim population.
