https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%20%2790s%20Show%20%28The%20Simpsons%29 | "That '90s Show" is the eleventh episode of the nineteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 27, 2008. Kurt Loder and "Weird Al" Yankovic both guest star as themselves, this being the second time for Yankovic. The episode was written by Matt Selman, and directed by Mark Kirkland. The episode's title is a parody of That '70s Show, a television program that also aired on Fox.
After Bart and Lisa discover Marge's degree from Springfield University, Homer and Marge recount one of the darkest points of their relationship, in which Marge has an affair with a pretentious history professor and a dejected, self-destructive Homer achieves brief fame as the frontman of a grunge band.
The show parodies the floating timeline utilized in The Simpsons, in which characters remain the same age even though every episode is set in the present. While previous episodes, such as the 1992 episode "The Way We Was", depicted Homer and Marge's early romance in the 1970s, this episode portrays their lives as a young couple in the mid-'90s, paradoxically the same time period in which the early seasons of the show were produced and set.
Plot
The Simpson family is suffering inside their freezing house because Homer (counting on global warming) did not pay the heating bill. Bart and Lisa, searching for items to feed the fire, discover a box containing a degree belonging to Marge from Springfield University. Homer and Marge look shocked to find it, and claim it was from their dating years, confusing Bart as Marge told him he was conceived right after Marge and Homer left high school. Lisa does some calculations and realizes that, because Bart is 10, and Homer and Marge are in their mid-to-late thirties, Bart must have been born later in their parents' relationship than they thought. Marge and Homer proceed to describe one of the darker points of their relationship, the mid-to-late 1990s.
In the flashback, younger Homer and Marge are happily dating, living together in an apartment after graduating from high school. Marge is an avid reader, and Homer is part of an R&B group alongside Lenny, Carl, and Officer Lou. One morning, Marge wakes up to find out she has been accepted into Springfield University, but is shocked to learn of the high cost of tuition. Homer, taking pity on Marge, decides to take up work at his father's popular laser tag warehouse in order to pay for it, where he is abused by the children. At Springfield University, Marge is impressed with her surroundings and with her radical feminist revisionist history professor Stefane August, despite Homer's disapproval.
Marge quickly admires August, and both form a mutual attraction. August begins manipulating Marge by telling her Homer is a simple "townie" who would not appreciate her intellect. A shocked Homer arrives and catches the two together. In his anger, he reinvents his R&B group with a new sound called "grunge," |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic%20voltage%20scaling | In computer architecture, dynamic voltage scaling is a power management technique in which the voltage used in a component is increased or decreased, depending upon circumstances. Dynamic voltage scaling to increase voltage is known as overvolting; dynamic voltage scaling to decrease voltage is known as undervolting. Undervolting is done in order to conserve power, particularly in laptops and other mobile devices, where energy comes from a battery and thus is limited, or in rare cases, to increase reliability. Overvolting is done in order to support higher frequencies for performance.
The term "overvolting" is also used to refer to increasing static operating voltage of computer components to allow operation at higher speed (overclocking).
Background
MOSFET-based digital circuits operate using voltages at circuit nodes to represent logical state. The voltage at these nodes switches between a high voltage and a low voltage during normal operation—when the inputs to a logic gate transition, the transistors making up that gate may toggle the gate's output.
Toggling a MOSFET's state requires changing its gate voltage from below the transistor's threshold voltage to above it (or from above it to below it). However, changing the gate's voltage requires charging or discharging the capacitance at its node. This capacitance is the sum of capacitances from various sources: primarily transistor gate capacitance, diffusion capacitance, and wires (coupling capacitance).
Higher supply voltages result in faster slew rate (rate of change of voltage per unit of time) when charging and discharging, which allows for quicker transitioning through the MOSFET's threshold voltage. Additionally, the more the gate voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the lower the resistance of the transistor's conducting channel. This results in a lower RC time constant for quicker charging and discharging of the capacitance of the subsequent logic stage. Quicker transitioning afforded by higher supply voltages allows for operating at higher frequencies.
Methods
Many modern components allow voltage regulation to be controlled through software (for example, through the BIOS). It is usually possible to control the voltages supplied to the CPU, RAM, PCI, and PCI Express (or AGP) port through a PC's BIOS.
However, some components do not allow software control of supply voltages, and hardware modification is required by overclockers seeking to overvolt the component for extreme overclocks. Video cards and motherboard northbridges are components which frequently require hardware modifications to change supply voltages. These modifications are known as "voltage mods" or "Vmod" in the overclocking community.
Undervolting
Undervolting is reducing the voltage of a component, usually the processor, reducing temperature and cooling requirements, and possibly allowing a fan to be omitted. Just like overclocking, undervolting is highly subject to the so-called silicon lottery: one CPU ca |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNSC-FM | WNSC-FM is a National Public Radio station in Rock Hill, South Carolina. A member of South Carolina Public Radio (formerly ETV Radio), it carries programming from South Carolina Public Radio's all-news network.
History
News and classical music
WNSC-FM signed on January 3, 1978, as WPRV, initially broadcasting instructional programs during the day before beginning full-time broadcasting in July. The same day it went on the air, WNSC-TV channel 30 began broadcasting. WPRV was the first NPR station in the Charlotte area; the market's flagship NPR station, WFAE, did not sign on in its current form until 1981. The call letters were changed to WNSC-FM on October 27, 1980. From its sign-on until 2001, it aired a format of NPR news and classical music along with the rest of what was then the South Carolina Educational Radio Network (SCERN).
Jazz and talk
In 2001, it broke off from the rest of the SCERN stations to air jazz music under the moniker of "Carolinas Jazz 88.9" in order to avoid programming conflicts with WFAE. Before the switch, WNSC-FM aired many of the same news and talk programs as WFAE, such as Fresh Air, Morning Edition and This American Life. Barbara Nail moved from WFAE to host a jazz show on Friday nights.
However, on July 1, 2008, it joined ETV Radio's NPR news network. SCETV president Moss Bresnahan told The Charlotte Observer that SCETV did not want to deny people on the South Carolina side of the Charlotte market access to SCETV's growing slate of local programming. The move left the Charlotte market without a jazz station of its own.
Penetration
WNSC is one of only two stations on the South Carolina side of the market (the other being WOSF, which is licensed to Gaffney) that penetrates Charlotte to any significant extent. Its 97,900-watt signal easily covers Charlotte itself, as well as Gaston and Union counties. However, it only provides fringe coverage to the northern part of the market (Concord, Lincolnton, Mooresville, etc.). Until the spring of 2011, it identified as "Rock Hill/Charlotte," making it the only ETV station to include a second city in its legal ID. This is despite the fact that sister station WLJK in Aiken also serves Augusta, Georgia.
Studios and tower
Its studios are at York Technical College, with its transmitting tower five miles south of Rock Hill (at 34° 50' 23.00" North Latitude, 81° 01' 6.00" West Longitude).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s%20Rest%20Tour%20Association | The Women's Rest Tour Association of Boston, Massachusetts comprised a network of middle-class members who collected information about travel abroad and shared it among like-minded American women who required trustworthy non-commercial and unsolicited confidential recommendations suitable for women "who desire to visit Europe at the least possible expense consistent with comfort". Comfort, decency and security for the unaccompanied female traveller were essential, but picturesqueness and historical settings were also prominently featured in the brief commentaries that were submitted by the members, who had to be recommended by two existing members in order to join.
The origin of the Association was reported in Publishers Weekly for 12 November 1892, with the publication of a second edition of A Summer in England: a handbook for the use of American women:
In the spring of 1891 several women, who had made a summer trip across the Atlantic, and discovered that foreign travel was far easier and cheaper than they had imagined, resolved to offer other self dependent women who might be deterred from such a journey either by the expense involved or by the lack of an escort, the results of their own experience. They therefore formed themselves into a society called the Women's Rest Tour Association, which published a handbook of hints and directions called "a summer in England."
The second edition of 1892 added an article on "Universal Extension and the advantages for summer study in the universities of England" and a "Continental supplement", which initiated the annual publication of the members' copiously annotated lists of recommended pensioni, charming but inexpensive restaurants and small hotels, which were subsequently published, in an American list and a foreign list, in alternate years, for many decades. Negative reports, or several years passing without a review, resulted in a listing's being dropped, a self-editing feature.
Among the practical hints offered for self-dependent American women in 1892, were some familiar social suggestions:
Independent as you may be, do not scorn to imitate one grace of the English woman, be she duchess or chambermaid—her soft, low voice, that excellence which no American woman has attained in its infinitude of sweetness. Listen to it, delight in it, and copy it if you can"
Later editions dropped the social advice and kept closer to the commentary on lodgings and restaurants, listed city by city, eventually covering the visitable world, from Aden to Zanzibar.
The Women's Rest Tour Association was part of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, a broader non-profit social and educational agency founded in Boston in 1877.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband%20Sports | Broadband Sports was originally founded in 1998, later becoming a high-flying dotcom-era network of sports-content Web sites that raised over $60 million before shutting down in February 2001.
A new company with the same name and domain was launched in November 2005, which was based in Seattle, Washington and allowed users to upload, view and share both professional and user-generated sports media, covering over 20 sports. Its focus was to allow sports fans and athletes alike to connect directly via a community of fellow enthusiasts. It later went out of business. It shared no relationship to the failed dot-com company that shut down in 2001.
Overview
Broadband Sports was originally a high-flying dotcom-era network of sports-content Web sites that raised over $60 million before going bust in February 2001. The Santa Monica, Calif.-based company originally started out as Athlete Direct ("AD"), that served as the host of 350 official web sites for such athletes as Troy Aikman, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Brett Favre, Mia Hamm, Eric Karros, and Anna Kournikova. It later acquired RotoNews.com (now RotoWire.com), a leading fantasy sports web site and Pro Sports Exchange, a network of sports content from newspaper beat writers.
In 2005, the Broadbandsports.com domain was re-launched, by Greg Prosl, a founder of MountainZone.com.
History
The company was founded in 1998 by Tyler J. Goldman and had several well-known, deep-pocketed investors such as Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Computer, Frank J. Biondi Jr., the former chief executive of Universal Studios and Sequoia Capital. Goldman, currently the CEO of Buzznet.com, was one of five members of Steinberg & Moorad, the country's preeminent sports law firm, where he led the firm's media and investment initiatives prior to launching Athlete Direct. In February 1998, the company (then known as E-Sport) secured an investment of $4.5 mm from NMSS Partners. The agreement was signed by Goldman, Ross Schaufelberger and Michael Scharnagl on behalf of E-Sport, and Ahmed O. Alfi on behalf of NMSS Partners, LLC.
In the early stages of Athlete Direct's growth, the company also focused its energies on developing strong online communities around their athletes. Troy Aikman, then the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, made unannounced visits to the AOL Athlete Direct chat room to interact with community members. Elliott Gordon, who resigned from AOL Sports to become a founding employee of Athlete Direct, cultivated what was arguably at the time the largest motorsports community section on AOL – the AD NASCAR Family – where NASCAR drivers such as Michael Waltrip occasionally visited. Following AD, Gordon was Director of Programming for NASCAR.COM through 2006 and currently works for Turner Broadcasting.
On September 2, 1999, Yahoo! Inc. announced an agreement with Athlete Direct to bring professional athletes to their users. Through the Yahoo! Sports All-Star Club fans could connect to athletes' official clubs |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHangMan | KHangMan is an educational computer game designed for young children based on the classic Hangman game. It is part of the KDE Software Compilation, specifically, in the kdeedu package.
The application features four themes (sea, winter, bee, and desert). In the sea theme, each incorrect guess makes a lighthouse project another piece of the hangman. In the winter theme, a snowman is partially melted after each incorrect guess. In the bee theme, a yellow hangman is created in the background. In the desert theme, a hangman is constructed next to a cactus.
The player guesses letters one by one to attempt to figure out the word given. After ten incorrect guesses, the player loses and the word is revealed. A hint for each word can be activated in the options. Words are available in more than 30 languages and 18 categories.
The program was available only for Linux operating systems, but with the beta release of KDE for Windows, it is now available on Microsoft Windows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmton%20with%20Creswell | Elmton with Creswell is a civil parish in the Bolsover district in Derbyshire, England. It covers the villages of Elmton, Creswell and Creswell Model Village. According to Census data in 2001, Elmton with Creswell parish had a population of 4,755, and in 2011 had a population of 5,550. The town lies on the border with Nottinghamshire.
In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Elmton like this:
History
The parish now known as Elmton with Cresswell began as a medieval settlement. Elmton being recorded in the Domesday Book commissioned by William the Conqueror, but if Creswell existed then it would have been a small outlying hamlet or farm. Elmton didn't grow much in fact hasn't done so over the past 150 years, but Creswell might have become a small hamlet in the Creswell valley consisting of yeoman farmers. In 1722 an Estate Map shows what this post medieval settlement may have looked like with buildings spread along the valley and a nucleus of buildings at the southern end of the village around an open space called Creswell Green, part of which is now known as Fox Green. Further development of Creswell took place in the 18th century in response to the construction of a turnpike road (today A616) along the valley linking Chesterfield and Mansfield. In 1854 the Duke of Portland acquired the Rodes estate in Elmton and Creswell resulting in a significant development of Creswell Village. Over the next 40 years comprehensive improvements to the estate followed with further development of the enclosed landscape, new farm houses, improvements of Elmton Church and at Creswell a school and church. By 1984 Creswell had grown into a hamlet of 30 - 40 houses. The Midland Railway was constructed west of the hamlet in 1975 and the Beighton branch of the Lancashire, Derby and East Coast Railway was constructed a little further west in 1886/97. The overall effects of these changes was to bring about a profound change in the relative importance of the two settlements of Elmton and Creswell between 1841 and 1881. The population of Elmton remained largely static at just over 200, whilst that of Creswell grew from 222 to 300. Over the next two decades it was to rise to over 2000. Between 1894 and 1900 North Eastern Derbyshire was transformed by the Coal Industry and associated increase in population and housing. The Bolsover Colliery Company was formed in 1894 and trial sinking in Crewsell began in the September of the same year. A good seam was found and coal turning commenced in 1897. Construction of the Model Village in Creswell began in 1896 on land purchased from the Duke of Portland and the Village was built to provide cottages for the colliery workforce. Covering land to an extent of approx. 10 acres, the Model Village consists of 250 two storied houses built in the form of a double octagon (an inner and outer circle). After completion of the Model Village, Creswell began to grow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%20Zero | Black Zero is a name shared by two supervillains, two terrorist organizations, one special forces group, and a computer virus that have all appeared in various comic book series published by DC Comics.
Original Black Zero supervillain
Fictional character biography
The original Black Zero appeared Pre-Crisis in Superman #205 (1968), in a story entitled "The Man Who Destroyed Krypton" written by Otto Binder with artwork by Al Plastino. This Black Zero revealed to Superman that he was a space saboteur who destroyed planets. He had been hired to destroy Krypton, and discovered that the internal stresses which would have destroyed it in any case were dying down, necessitating his involvement to ensure it exploded.
In the present day, Black Zero came to Earth, threatening to destroy it as he did Krypton. In desperation, Superman released Jax-Ur, a prisoner of the Phantom Zone, who wished to avenge Krypton's destruction. As he launched a devastatingly powerful missile toward Earth, Black Zero attacked Jax-Ur with a red kryptonite bullet, causing his body to mutate wildly into several serpent-like forms. This proved to be Black Zero's undoing; while Superman saved the Earth from the missile, Jax-Ur transformed into a Medusa-like form, turning Black Zero to stone with his gaze. Black Zero's body was then shattered by Jax-Ur, in recompense for what he had done to Krypton.
This story suggests that, were it not for something none of them knew, Jor-El would have been wrong and the Science Council right. E. Nelson Bridwell hypothesized that what Black Zero had noticed was the Green Lantern Tomar Re's attempts to prevent the destruction (as seen in Superman #257 (1972)), meaning the two sets of interference canceled each other out, and Jor-El was right after all.
Power and abilities
Black Zero had the ability to create "psycho-molecules" with his mind, which he could then shape into any form of matter he chose. His brain had been fitted with a plastic coating, preventing him from being hypnotised. He could make his body intangible, enabling him to pass through solid objects. He was a skilled engineer, able to create weapons and devices that could destroy entire planets. He was also skilled in the art of disguise.
Black Zero organizations
The first Post-Crisis version of Black Zero appeared in the 1988 World of Krypton miniseries written by John Byrne and illustrated by Mike Mignola. Although later described as a "clone liberation movement" in Superboy (vol. 4) #61 Black Zero was described as a "terrorist" organization that was ultimately responsible for the destruction of Krypton. During the Third Age of Krypton, Kryptonians extended their lives by maintaining clones in suspended animation (the Clone Banks), which they then harvested for body parts. Trouble in Kryptonian society concerning this issue emerged after a prominent citizen named Nyra removed one of her clones from stasis to marry the clone to her own son. The enraged son after killing his clon |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%20Wrestling%20Network | The World Wrestling Network was a National Wrestling Alliance-affiliated professional wrestling promotion which was owned by promoter Jim Crockett, Jr., his last attempt to rebuild a national wrestling promotion after selling Jim Crockett Promotions to Ted Turner in 1988. As part of a non-compete clause in the agreement he signed with Turner, Crockett was unable to promote professional wrestling events for three years.
History
In 1993, Crockett began contacting former World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation veterans such as Road Warrior Hawk, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Paul Heyman. Heyman, who had recently left on bad terms with WCW, eventually became head booker for the promotion although he and Crockett would eventually part ways due to his commitments to then Eastern Championship Wrestling and ECW's eventual breakaway from the National Wrestling Alliance.
Holding its first event in Killeen, Texas in August 1993, the show proved moderately successful with 2,156 in attendance. The following year, the promotion held its first televised event at the Manhattan Center in New York City on February 28, 1994 which featured Road Warrior Hawk and Jake Roberts as well as Public Enemy, Sabu, Terry Funk, Shane Douglas and Missy Hyatt in her first appearance since being fired by WCW.
Both Crockett and Heyman had hoped to provide a unique concept of producing televised matches in high-definition television via internet broadcast, using much of ECW's television production and other resources to do so (this is one of the reasons that Eddie Gilbert resigned his position as head booker and left the promotion in September 1993), however, the event was the only HDTV-television taping broadcast and eventually Crockett closed the promotion by the end of the year.
World Wrestling Network in New York
On February 28, 1994, the World Wrestling Network carried out a television taping in the Manhattan Center in New York City, New York in the United States. The event featured multiple World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation alumni as well as wrestlers from Paul Heyman's Eastern Championship Wrestling promotion.
Event
During the event, Shane Douglas (accompanied by Missy Hyatt and multiple cheerleaders) gave a promo in which he declared he would be the inaugural World Wrestling Network Heavyweight Champion.
The main event was a single match between Sabu and Terry Funk which ended in a double disqualification. The bout saw multiple spectacles, including Funk throwing Sabu into a dumpster and pushing it around the Manhattan Center; Sabu dismantling a concession stand and then moonsaulting through the table; Funk breaking a glass bottle; and the two men brawling into the audience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison%20of%20programming%20languages%20%28associative%20array%29 | This Comparison of programming languages (associative arrays) compares the features of associative array data structures or array-lookup processing for over 40 computer programming languages.
Language support
The following is a comparison of associative arrays (also "mapping", "hash", and "dictionary") in various programming languages.
AWK
AWK has built-in, language-level support for associative arrays.
For example:
phonebook["Sally Smart"] = "555-9999"
phonebook["John Doe"] = "555-1212"
phonebook["J. Random Hacker"] = "555-1337"
The following code loops through an associated array and prints its contents:
for (name in phonebook) {
print name, " ", phonebook[name]
}
The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array.
The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:
{ # for every input line
multi[$1 SUBSEP $2]++;
}
#
END {
for (x in multi) {
split(x, arr, SUBSEP);
print arr[1], arr[2], multi[x];
}
}
C
There is no standard implementation of associative arrays in C, but a 3rd-party library, C Hash Table, with BSD license, is available.
Another 3rd-party library, uthash, also creates associative arrays from C structures. A structure represents a value, and one of the structure fields serves as the key.
Finally, the GLib library also supports associative arrays, along with many other advanced data types and is the recommended implementation of the GNU Project.
Similar to GLib, Apple's cross-platform Core Foundation framework provides several basic data types. In particular, there are reference-counted CFDictionary and CFMutableDictionary.
C#
C# uses the collection classes provided by the .NET Framework. The most commonly used associative array type is System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, which is implemented as a mutable hash table. The relatively new System.Collections.Immutable package, available in .NET Framework versions 4.5 and above, and in all versions of .NET Core, also includes the System.Collections.Immutable.Dictionary<TKey, TValue> type, which is implemented using an AVL tree. The methods that would normally mutate the object in-place instead return a new object that represents the state of the original object after mutation.
Creation
The following demonstrates three means of populating a mutable dictionary:
the Add method, which adds a key and value and throws an exception if the key already exists in the dictionary;
assigning to the indexer, which overwrites any existing value, if present; and
assigning to the backing property of the indexer, for which the indexer is syntactic sugar (not applicable to C#, see F# or VB.NET examples).
var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();
dictionary.Add("Sally Smart", "555-9999");
dictionary["John Doe"] = "555-1212";
// Not allowed in C#.
// dictionary.Item("J. Random Hacker") = "553-1337";

Syntax
Array dimensions
The following list contains syntax examples of how to determine the dimensions (index of the first element, the last element or the size in elements).
Note particularly that some languages index from zero while others index from one.
Indexing
The following list contains syntax examples of how to access a single element of an array.
Slicing
The following list contains syntax examples of how a range of element of an array can be accessed.
In the following table:
– the index of the first element in the slice
– the index of the last element in the slice
– one more than the index of last element in the slice
– the length of the slice (= end - first)
– the number of array elements in each (default 1)
Array system cross-reference list
Vectorized array operations
Some compiled languages such as Ada and Fortran, and some scripting languages such as IDL, MATLAB, and S-Lang, have native support for vectorized operations on arrays. For example, to perform an element by element sum of two arrays, and to produce a third , it is only necessary to write
c = a + b
In addition to support for vectorized arithmetic and relational operations, these languages also vectorize common mathematical functions such as sine. For example, if is an array, then
y = sin (x)
will result in an array whose elements are sine of the corresponding elements of the array .
Vectorized index operations are also supported. As an example,
even = x(2::2);
odd = x(::2);
is how one would use Fortran to create arrays from the even and odd entries of an array. Another common use of vectorized indices is a filtering operation. Consider a clipping operation of a sine wave where amplitudes larger than 0.5 are to be set to 0.5. Using S-Lang, this can be done by
y = sin(x);
y[where(abs(y)>0.5)] = 0.5;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Beginning%20%28The%20X-Files%29 | "The Beginning" is the first episode of the sixth season of the science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network in the United States on November 8, 1998. The episode was written by Chris Carter, and directed by Kim Manners. It helps explore the series' overarching mythology. "The Beginning" earned a Nielsen household rating of 11.9, being watched by 20.34 million people in its initial broadcast. The episode received mixed reviews from television critics.
The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work. In the episode, Mulder and Scully eagerly hunt for a deadly creature in the Arizona desert. What they find seems to support Mulder's revived belief in aliens, but is discredited when the agents are not reassigned to the now re-opened X-Files, with Jeffrey Spender (Chris Owens) and Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers) taking over instead.
"The Beginning" was the first episode of the series to not be filmed in Vancouver, Canada, after production was moved to Los Angeles at the behest of lead actor David Duchovny. The episode follows directly from The X-Files feature film (1998). The writers sought to bring back characters, such as Spender, Fowley, and Gibson Praise (Jeff Gulka) who had not been featured in the movie, but had played a pivotal role in the show's fifth season.
Plot
In Phoenix, Arizona, a scientist working for Roush Technologies is exposed to the black oil alien-virus; an alien gestates and bursts from his body the next morning. A few hours after his death, a co-worker who arrives at his house is attacked and killed by the newborn alien.
In Washington, D.C., Agent Fox Mulder appears before an FBI panel regarding his experiences in Antarctica. Meanwhile, the Smoking Man (William B. Davis) reports to the Syndicate on the alien in Phoenix, confident that he'll be able to kill it. Assistant Director Walter Skinner tells Mulder, who is working on restoring the burned X-Files, that he and Scully have been denied reassignment on the X-Files, but that Mulder should seek out a folder left on the desk in his old office. Mulder goes there, only to discover that Jeffrey Spender and Diana Fowley have been assigned to the X-Files. Feeling betrayed by Fowley, Mulder leaves, but not before stealthily taking the folder with him.
The Smoking Man seeks Gibson Praise, who is undergoing brain surgery at that very moment. Mulder and Scully head to the home where the alien gestated, finding an alien's nail in the wall. The Smoking Man arrives soon after with Gibson, who tells him that the alien is no longer there. At a nuclear power plant, the alien kills another person, but Mulder and Scully are denied access by Spender and Fowley. Upon returning to their car they find Gibson inside, who has escaped from the Smoking M |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studentized%20range | In statistics, the studentized range, denoted q, is the difference between the largest and smallest data in a sample normalized by the sample standard deviation.
It is named after William Sealy Gosset (who wrote under the pseudonym "Student"), and was introduced by him in 1927.
The concept was later discussed by Newman (1939), Keuls (1952), and John Tukey in some unpublished notes.
Its statistical distribution is the studentized range distribution, which is used for multiple comparison procedures, such as the single step procedure Tukey's range test, the Newman–Keuls method, and the Duncan's step down procedure, and establishing confidence intervals that are still valid after data snooping has occurred.
Description
The value of the studentized range, most often represented by the variable q, can be defined based on a random sample x1, ..., xn from the N(0, 1) distribution of numbers, and another random variable s that is independent of all the xi, and νs2 has a χ2 distribution with ν degrees of freedom. Then
has the Studentized range distribution for n groups and ν degrees of freedom. In applications, the xi are typically the means of samples each of size m, s2 is the pooled variance, and the degrees of freedom are ν = n(m − 1).
The critical value of q is based on three factors:
α (the probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis)
n (the number of observations or groups)
ν (the degrees of freedom used to estimate the sample variance)
Distribution
If X1, ..., Xn are independent identically distributed random variables that are normally distributed, the probability distribution of their studentized range is what is usually called the studentized range distribution. Note that the definition of q does not depend on the expected value or the standard deviation of the distribution from which the sample is drawn, and therefore its probability distribution is the same regardless of those parameters.
Studentization
Generally, the term studentized means that the variable's scale was adjusted by dividing by an estimate of a population standard deviation (see also studentized residual). The fact that the standard deviation is a sample standard deviation rather than the population standard deviation, and thus something that differs from one random sample to the next, is essential to the definition and the distribution of the Studentized data. The variability in the value of the sample standard deviation contributes additional uncertainty into the values calculated. This complicates the problem of finding the probability distribution of any statistic that is studentized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion%2070s | Fashion 70s () is a 2005 South Korean television series starring Lee Yo-won, Kim Min-jung, Joo Jin-mo and Chun Jung-myung. It was the network's 60th Anniversary of Independence Great Project, and it aired on SBS from 23 May – 29 August 2005 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 28 episodes. An epic, sprawling drama, it focuses on the lives of four young people, from their childhood during the Korean War, to their careers and love lives as adults. It portrays the passion of female fashion designers who pioneered Korea's fashion industry in the 1970s.
Plot
Young Joon-hee befriends little Kang-hee, but the two girls get into trouble because of Kang-hee's poor but greedy mother. Joon-hee also makes friends with two boys, Kim Dong-young, the son of a military general and Jang Bin, the son of a fashion designer.
But when North Korean forces invade their town, both girls are separated from their parents and Joon-hee's mother is killed in an explosion. Believing his daughter to have died, Joon-hee's father adopts Kang-hee and raises her as his own daughter. Joon-hee is discovered at an orphanage by Kang-hee's mother, and is also adopted. The trauma of the events causes Joon-hee to block out her childhood memories and she grows up on a small island as Deo-mi, unaware of her true identity.
Years pass and all four of their paths cross again, with complicated, destructive results. Deo-mi dreams of becoming a fashion designer, and petty criminal Jang Bin helps her move to Seoul to chase her dream. In the process he falls in love with her, but his feelings are unrequited. Deo-mi meets Dong-young, who has become an aide to the President, and although they do not recognize each other, there is an instant attraction between them. Kang-hee (now called Joon-hee) is also working in fashion, and already in love with Dong-young, but is heartbroken when she discovers he has fallen for Deo-mi.
Deo-mi and Joon-hee first become friends, then become each other's greatest rivals like Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli. They pursue both love and ambition with their lives against the backdrop of the fashion industry and the shifting social mores of 1970s Korea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health%20record%20trust | A health record trust (also independent health record trust or health record data bank) provides a secure and protected place for individuals to create, use, and maintain their lifetime electronic health record (EHR). The health record trust takes personal health records one step further by combining an individual's electronic health record with the personal health record. A health record trust protects patient privacy by establishing that the patient is the owner of their health care records. It gives patients the authority to access and review the entire document at any time. It allows healthcare professionals, facilities, and organizations to view all or a limited portion of the records.
The health record trust allows for all of the information to be in one central document. Patients cannot alter their health records but instead add notes and request corrections. They can also view every provider who downloads their EHR.
Public policy
The legislation was introduced in the 110th Congress to establish a regulatory framework for establishing health record trusts. The Independent Health Record Trust Act of 2007 (H.R. 2991) was introduced by Rep. Dennis Moore (D-KS) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) on July 11, 2007. The legislation seeks to give people control over their lifetime health records, with the broader goal of reducing healthcare costs that result from inefficiency, medical errors, inappropriate care, and incomplete information. This legislation provides standards for using health record trusts, including certifications and interoperability of independent health record trusts. HR 2991 was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Ways and Means. The bill died in committee and has not been reintroduced.
Patients receive better quality of care with the availability of a longitudinal health record protected by a health record trust. They can pass along their medical records to future generations. Health record trusts promote wellness and improve patient care through quick and easy access to critical health information.
Implementations
Arizona's eHealthTrust health record bank launched in 2010 with a freemium pricing strategy. In 2012, Harvard University's Data Privacy Lab launched MyDataCan, offering free data storage and distribution with optional integration for third-party app, both free and paid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPDrive | FTP Drive is an installable file system and network redirector for NT-based Microsoft Windows operating systems. This program is a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client whose functionality can be accessed from any file manager in an OS. FTP servers have to be configured in a special applet and appear in Windows explorer (or any other file manager) as subdirectories of a (virtual) network drive (the drive letter also can be configured). As of October 28, 2007, this program is freeware.
Read-only file access can be completely transparent to applications, as long as they do not use very large memory-mapped files. Random write access is not possible due to limitations of the protocol. It is possible to copy files to a server, and programs which write files sequentially, as one operation, should not have problems with write access. This program has some support for FTP over SSL and TLS.
It is reported to be incompatible with 64 bit Windows systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word%20addressing | In computer architecture, word addressing means that addresses of memory on a computer uniquely identify words of memory. It is usually used in contrast with byte addressing, where addresses uniquely identify bytes. Almost all modern computer architectures use byte addressing, and word addressing is largely only of historical interest. A computer that uses word addressing is sometimes called a word machine.
Basics
Consider a computer which provides 524,288 (219) bits of memory. If that memory is arranged in a byte-addressable flat address space using 8-bit bytes, then there are 65,536 (216) valid addresses, from 0 to 65,535, each denoting an independent 8 bits of memory. If instead it is arranged in a word-addressable flat address space using 32-bit words, then there are 16,384 (214) valid addresses, from 0 to 16,383, each denoting an independent 32 bits.
More generally, the minimum addressable unit (MAU) is a property of a specific memory abstraction. Different abstractions within a computer may use different MAUs, even when they are representing the same underlying memory. For example, a computer might use 32-bit addresses with byte addressing in its instruction set, but the CPU's cache coherence system might work with memory only at a granularity of 64-byte cache lines, allowing any particular cache line to be identified with only a 26-bit address and decreasing the overhead of the cache.
The address translation done by virtual memory often affects the structure and width of the address space, but it does not change the MAU.
Trade-offs of different minimum addressable units
The size of the minimum addressable unit of memory can have complex trade-offs. Using a larger MAU allows the same amount of memory to be covered with a smaller address, which can substantially decrease the memory requirements of a program. However, using a smaller MAU makes it easier to work efficiently with small items of data.
Suppose a program wishes to store one of the 12 traditional signs of Western astrology. A single sign can be stored in 4 bits. If a sign is stored in its own MAU, then 4 bits will be wasted with byte addressing (50% efficiency), while 28 bits will be wasted with 32-bit word addressing (12.5% efficiency). If a sign is "packed" into a MAU with other data, then it may be relatively more expensive to read and write. For example, to write a new sign into a MAU that other data has been packed into, the computer must read the current value of the MAU, overwrite just the appropriate bits, and then store the new value back. This will be especially expensive if it is necessary for the program to allow other threads to concurrently modify the other data in the MAU.
A more common example is a string of text. Common string formats such as UTF-8 and ASCII store strings as a sequence of 8-bit code points. With byte addressing, each code point can be placed in its own independently-addressable MAU with no overhead. With 32-bit word address |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popstars%20%28German%20TV%20series%29 | Popstars is a German reality television series that began its first installment on the RTL II network on 14 November 2000. Part of the international Popstars franchise, it originated from the New Zealand reality programme of the same name.
The show accompanies the making of pop group whose members depend on the particular season's concept. In its 11 seasons, it spawned musical acts No Angels, Bro'Sis, Overground, Preluders, Nu Pagadi, Monrose, Room 2012, Queensberry, Some & Any, LaViVe, Melouria, and Leandah.
Overview
The series follows a group of aspiring singers aged 16 or older as they go through an audition process to join a pop group. The contestants, who also live together during the course of the series, are judged on their vocal and dancing ability. Outside of stage performances, the contestants experience choreography and song recording.
First-season winners No Angels (Sandy Mölling, Lucy Diakovska, Nadja Benaissa, Jessica Wahls and Vanessa Petruo) were set to be the new Spice Girls.
Second-season winners Bro'Sis (Hila Bronstein, Faiz Mangat, Ross Antony, Shaham Joyce, Giovanni Zarrella and Indira Weis) were meant to be more edgy than their predecessors. That season both sexes were allowed to participate in the competition.
Third-season winners Overground (Ahmet "Akay" Kayed, Ken Miyao, Marq Porciuncula and Meiko Reißmann) won over girl group Preluders that season after a boys vs. girls battle depending on record sales and telephone votes during a big live finale.
Fourth-season winners Nu Pagadi (Markus Grimm, Patrick Boinet, Kristina Dörfer and Doreen Steinert) were titled as the best group created by this format by the judges when they had been in the pre-making statues. However, they landed some hits, but disbanded shortly after the show due to arguments between the group members. Presented as being the last group to be created by this format, they were pushed in a glam rock–rock direction in a very early statues of the show.
Fifth-season winners Monrose (Senna Gammour, Bahar Kızıl and Mandy Capristo) were created with the aim to find the new angels in addition to No Angels and to find the best voices. Consisting of only three members they were very edgy with no blond girl inside and their very strong but different characters. And maybe because of their edginess they should be along with the No Angles the most successful band to be created by this show.
Sixth-season winners Room 2012 (Cristobal Galvez Moreno, Sascha Schmitz, Julian Kasprzik and Tialda van Slogteren) were set to be the hottest live act in Germany. The group went on a tour directly after the show. This time the colour of the voice was less important than the ability to sing live in concert and get the keys. Dancers were also cast to support the final group in making a good live-show.
Seventh-season winners Queensberry (Leonore Bartsch, Victoria Ulbrich, Gabriella De Almeida Rinne and Antonella Trapani) were created with the aim to find Germany's next girl gro |

The UTT is part of the network of the three universities of technology, found by the University of Technology of Compiègne. Inspired by the American University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, these three universities (UTC, UTBM and UTT) are a French mixture between the universities of this country and its schools of engineers (Grandes Ecoles).UTT is ranked in the top 10 engineering schools 2017 in France by Usine Nouvelle.
They are indeed organized like the universities, temples of knowledge being based on the triptych teaching-research-valorization (transmission of knowledge, the creation of knowledge and the transfer of knowledge in economic fabric).
Their teaching model is a mix between the North-American model and the French traditions: courses choice, separation of the courses, work directed (TDs) and practical work (TPs). These three universities give thus an engineering degree equivalent to the Bac+5 formations of the French Grandes Ecoles.
The UTT was founded in 1994 and inaugurated by Jacques Chirac. One of the first chairman of the university has been Thierry Breton (1997–2005), honorary Chairman of both Thomson and France Telecom, and former finance Minister from France.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn%20Ricart | Glenn Ricart (born August 1, 1949) is a computer scientist.
He was influential in the development of the Internet (ARPANET) going back to 1969 and early implementation of the TCP/IP protocol. Since then he has been active in technology and business as well as donating his time to philanthropic and educational movements.
Education
Ricart received his B.S. degree in engineering from Case Institute of Technology in 1971, and his M.S. in Computing and Information Sciences from Case Western Reserve University in 1973. He received his doctorate in the University of Maryland Department of Computer Science, which is part of the University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences in 1980, mentored by Ashok Agrawala.
The Ricart-Agrawala Algorithm was the result of his dissertation work at the University of Maryland.
Career
Ricart set up what was probably the first Internet Exchange point, the FIX (Federal Internet Exchange) in College Park, Maryland which interconnected the original federal TCP/IP networks and was extended to form MAE-East.
Ricart led the team that wrote the code for the first implementation of TCP/IP for the IBM PC. He then secured financial support from IBM for writing the code, and, in addition to its free availability to the education community, arranged for IBM to sell it as IBM's entry into the field (the product was called PC/IP by IBM).
He led the team that developed the OSPF reference implementation at the University of Maryland, including Louis Mamakos and Mike Petry.
He also led the team that provided and operated the routers for the first NSFNet backbone.
From 1971 to 1982, he was a lead software engineer at the National Institutes of Health, developing the first e-mail program for the TOPS-10 (PDP-10) operating system in 1973. From 1982 to 1993, he headed academic computing at the University of Maryland. In 1984, it became the first campus to adopt TCP/IP campus-wide and use it to connect all academic minicomputers and mainframes.
In 1985 to 1989, he was instrumental in bringing the Internet to South America, helping to bring the first BITNET and Internet connections to Brazil in partnership with CNPq, Argentina via the University of Buenos Aires, and Chile by first connecting REUNA. He instructed the first networking workshop for Latin and South America (ESLARED) and several succeeding workshops.
From 1993 to 1995, Ricart was a Program Manager at DARPA for operating systems, middleware, and end-system security. From 1995 to 1999, he was chief technology officer at Novell, helping to move that company from the proprietary Xerox Network Systems protocol to also embrace TCP/IP. In 1999, he co-founded CenterBeam, a start-up based on remote system management driven by directory services.
From 2003 to 2009, he was the founding managing director of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Center for Advanced Research based in San Jose, California.

Importance of production scheduling
To be competitive, corporations must minimize inefficiencies and maximize productivity. In manufacturing, productivity is inherently linked to how well the firm can optimize the available resources, reduce waste and increase efficiency. Finding the best way to maximize efficiency in a manufacturing process can be extremely complex. Even on simple projects, there are multiple inputs, multiple steps, many constraints and limited resources. In general a resource constrained scheduling problem consists of:
A set of jobs that must be executed
A finite set of resources that can be used to complete each job
A set of constraints that must be satisfied
Temporal constraints – the time window to complete the task
Procedural constraints – the order each task must be completed
Resource constraints – is the resource available
A set of objectives to evaluate the scheduling performance
A typical factory floor setting is a good example of this, where it is necessary to schedule which jobs need to be completed on which machines, by which employees, in what order and at what time.
Use of algorithms in scheduling
In very complex problems such as scheduling there is no known way to get to a final answer, so we resort to searching for it trying to find a "good" answer. Scheduling problems most often use heuristic algorithms to search for the optimal solution. Heuristic search methods suffer as the inputs become more complex and varied. This type of problem is known in computer science as an NP-Hard problem. This means that there are no known algorithms for finding an optimal solution in polynomial time.
Genetic algorithms are well suited to solving production scheduling problems, because unlike heuristic methods genetic algorithms operate on a population of solutions rather than a single solution. In production scheduling this population of solutions consists of many answers that may have different sometimes conflicting objectives. For example, in one solution we may be optimizing a production process to be completed in a minimal amount of time. In another solution we may be optimizing for a minimal amount of defects. By cranking up the speed at which we produce we may run into an increase in defects in our final product.
As we increase the number of objectives we are trying to achieve we also increase the number of constraints on the problem and similarly increase the complexity. Genetic algorithms are ideal for these types of problems where the search space is large and the number of feasible solutions is small.
Application of a genetic algorithm
To apply a genetic algorithm to a scheduling problem we must first represent it as a genome. One way to represent a scheduling genome is to define a sequence of tasks and the start times of those tasks relative to one another. Each task and its corres |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack%20resource%20policy | The Stack Resource Policy (SRP) is a resource allocation policy used in real-time computing, used for accessing shared resources when using earliest deadline first scheduling. It was defined by T. P. Baker. SRP is not the same as the Priority ceiling protocol which is for fixed priority tasks (FP).
Function
Each task is assigned a preemption level based upon the following formula where denotes the deadline of task and denotes the preemption level of task i:
Each resource R has a current ceiling that represents the maximum of the preemption levels of the tasks that may be blocked, when there are units of available and is the maximum units of that may require at any one time. is assigned as follows:
There is also a system ceiling which is the maximum of all current ceilings of the resources.
Any task that wishes to preempt the system must first satisfy the following constraint:
This can be refined for Operating System implementation (as in MarteOS) by removing the multi-unit resources and defining the stack resource policy as follows
All tasks are assigned a preemption level, in order to preserve the ordering of tasks in relation to each other when locking resources. The lowest relative deadline tasks are assigned the highest preemption level.
Each shared resource has an associated ceiling level, which is the maximum preemption level of all the tasks that access this protected object.
The system ceiling, at any instant in time, is the maximum active priority of all the tasks that are currently executing within the system.
A task is only allowed to preempt the system when its absolute deadline is less than the currently executing task and its preemption level is higher than the current system ceiling.
Relevancy
The 2011 book Hard Real-Time Computing Systems: Predictable Scheduling Algorithms and Applications by Giorgio C. Buttazzo featured a dedicated section to reviewing SRP from Baker 1991 work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden%20Networks | Garden Networks is a not-for-profit organization registered in Canada, that specializes in providing Internet anti-censorship/Internet privacy products for free. The full name of Garden Networks is Garden Networks for Freedom of Information.
History
Garden Networks was started in 2001 by a group of computer software and network engineers. In the same year, the first version of their software tool "Garden" was released, aiming at providing Internet access to web sites blocked by the Chinese government, including web sites of news agencies such as BBC, VOA, and spiritual groups such as Falun Dafa. Along the years, Garden Networks has continued this effort and released product upgrades and new products, combating the escalating Internet blockade of the Chinese government.
The products of Garden Networks provide English and Chinese user interface and are also used by people in other countries to circumvent national Internet censorship or to improve Internet privacy and protect themselves from Internet identify theft.
Products
Garden
Garden is the first product release by Garden Networks. It works by providing an HTTP proxy server running on the user's local PC. The software then connects to one of the servers provided by Garden Networks to bypass firewalls at China's national gateway.
Garden provides an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object (BHO) to enable a browser window to direct its traffic to the local proxy server. Activated by a blocked URL, Internet Explorer enters into a proxied mode automatically.
G2
A year after Garden was released, Garden Networks releases a new product called Garden G2. This software tool provides a different way of accessing the back-end servers, and a different way of engaging proxying. Unlike Garden, in G2, proxying is triggered by DNS resolution in order to provide support for a wider range of applications.
GTunnel
GTunnel is the latest product released in October 2007. It features a new transport protocol which enables GTunnel to provide local SOCKS proxy support, and new working modes. GTunnel version 1.1 provides a standard mode, which is the main working mode and provides the best data transfer performance by connecting to the back-end servers directly, a Skype mode, and a Tor mode that go through computers in these P2P network. GTunnel also has an improved user interface which features real-time traffic graphs.
GTunnel replaces the earlier Garden and G2 client software and becomes the main client software of Garden Networks.
GTunnel works on Linux through Wine support.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTBF%20%28AM%29 | WTBF (970 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to Troy, Alabama, United States, the station is currently owned by Troy Broadcasting Corp. and features programming from CBS Sports Radio.
History of Troy Broadcasting Corporation
WTBF began broadcasting in 1947. A classic example of a small town station, they played a wide variety of music during the day, from MOR to country music, even with an occasional Talk program.
WTBF signed on at noon on February 25, 1947, with the roll of the timpani leading into "The Star-Spangled Banner", played by the Troy High School Band. That drum roll was played by the future Mrs. Ann Gilchrist (wife of owner Joe Gilchrist). The station was then signed on for the very first time by Samuel F. (Sam) Townsend, who in 1949 purchased AM radio station WCNU in Crestview, Florida and relocated there. The original calls were to be WTBC, for Troy Broadcasting Corporation, but those letters were already taken, so they settled on WTBF.
For the first few years, WTBF was at 1490 on the dial, then moved down to 970 during the 1950s. Bob "Pappy" Tolbert, Jess Jordan, and Joe Gilchrist did wild morning shows before the genre was invented. Joe interviewed pigs who lived at the transmitter site; Pappy gave away junk records with crazy trivia questions. Birthdays, anniversaries, giveaways, obituaries, weather, local news (bake sales, gospel sings, barbecues, yard sales, etc.) are part of the Morning Show to this very day.
On July 16, 1969, Joe Gilchrist did a live remote of the Apollo 11 launch from Cape Canaveral.
The original tower was over 300 feet tall and was located directly behind the station. It is now owned by a radio station in Puerto Rico.
The AM still uses its original audio processor, which has only been disconnected one time—when locations changed.
WTBF programming through the years
At night, the programming targeted teens and college students. By 1970, the tempo was more Top 40 feeling with MOR music. From 1973 to 1978, the station played country during the day. From 1978 to 1985, it was all AC during the day. From 1985 to 1988, they went back to a hodgepodge of music. All during these periods, WTBF was still Top 40 at night, and some during the weekends. At night the program was called "Night Flight". In 1988, the late night AC stopped and WTBF went country all the way.
In October 1994, WTBF made an unusual move and started "Night Visions", a modern rock program airing at 8:00 on weeknights. That became a revival of "Night Flight" by 1996; it lasted until 2003. There was a night of R&B and Blues, 70s music, 80s music, jazz, classic rock and even contemporary Christian. This interesting arrangement continued off and on, between 1998 and 2000, before ending altogether.
On January 13, 2015, WTBF changed their format from talk/personality to sports, with programming from CBS Sports Radio.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WVNA%20%28AM%29 | WVNA (1590 kHz) is licensed to Tuscumbia, Alabama. The format is mainstream rock, simulcasting WVNA-FM 105.5 Muscle Shoals. The station previously featured talk programming and extensive local/regional news coverage with a local news department on staff. The station is owned by Mike Self and Parker Griffith through licensee Singing River Media Group, LLC.
The station ceased transmitting on December 15, 2014.
WVNA positioned itself as a radio station "where all sides have their say". Thus, the station aired both conservative and liberal talk show hosts.
The WVNA call letters stand for "(The) Voice of North Alabama".
Presently, the station's News Director is Ron Jordan, Commander Chuck oversees the Weather department and Brian Rickman is the Program Director.
Overnight, the station broadcast the syndicated Coast to Coast AM hosted by George Noory.
In late June 2010 WVNA and Shoals-area WLAY lost the lease on their combined transmitter site. The stations were off the air until a new site was located and facilities built. This station was transferred from URBan Radio to Kevin Wagner in January 2013. As of December 2014 the station is on the air but only on nighttime power 24/7. This station appears on the FCC silent list as of 12/14/2014, although it's reported to broadcast regularly. The station finally went fully silent in April 2015.
On 7 December 2015 Kevin Wagner-led URBan Radio filed a pleading with the FCC to keep the license for this station and WLAY active, claiming to have found a buyer for both stations; the request was granted on the 15th of December. The stations collectively will have been off for exactly a year as of the 16th, which normally means they are automatically deleted by the FCC. As part of the request, URBan wants to return WVNA to the air from a temporary longwire installed on the WQLT-FM tower in Colbert County, with 2,000 watts. The station resumed broadcasting the next day, on the 16th, with rock music and WVNA-FM liners, although it is not a direct simulcast of the FM station. That simulcast is ongoing as of January 2017, when URBan filed an application to permanently relocate the station to the WVNA-FM tower nearby, on New Cut Road. That construction permit, which would decrease the night power to 43 watts, was granted on April 12, 2017.
Effective April 1, 2019, URBan Radio sold WVNA and five sister stations to Singing River Media Group, LLC for $1.275 million. In January 2020, WVNA changed their format from news/talk to a simulcast of mainstream rock-formatted WVNA-FM 105.5 Muscle Shoals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MANET%20database | The Molecular Ancestry Network (MANET) database is a bioinformatics database that maps evolutionary relationships of protein architectures directly onto biological networks. It was originally developed by Hee Shin Kim, Jay E. Mittenthal and Gustavo Caetano-Anolles in the Department of Crop Sciences of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
MANET traces for example the ancestry of individual metabolic enzymes in metabolism with bioinformatic, phylogenetic, and statistical methods. MANET currently links information in the Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database, the metabolic pathways database of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and phylogenetic reconstructions describing the evolution of protein fold architecture at a universal level. The database has been updated to reflect evolution of metabolism at the level of protein fold families. MANET literally "paints" the ancestries of enzymes derived from rooted phylogenetic trees directly onto over one hundred metabolic pathways representations, paying homage to one of the fathers of impressionism. It also provides numerous functionalities that enable searching specific protein folds with defined ancestry values, displaying the distribution of enzymes that are painted, and exploring quantitative details describing individual protein folds. This permits the study of global and local metabolic network architectures, and the extraction of evolutionary patterns at global and local levels.
A statistical analysis of the data in MANET showed for example a patchy distribution of ancestry values assigned to protein folds in each subnetwork, indicating that evolution of metabolism occurred globally by widespread recruitment of enzymes. MANET was used recently to sort out enzymatic recruitment processes in metabolic networks and propose that modern metabolism originated in the purine nucleotide metabolic subnetwork. The database is useful for the study of metabolic evolution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed%20product%20result%20analysis | In the field of compiler implementation in computer science, constructed product result analysis (or CPR analysis) is a static analysis that determines which functions in a given program can return multiple results in an efficient manner. Typically, this means returning multiple results in a register (as opposed to returning a pointer to a tuple allocated on the heap whose components are the function's multiple return values.)
CPR analysis was introduced in the context of compiling Haskell (a lazy functional language) and is implemented in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. It may be applicable to other programming languages as well.

It may consist of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the frame, obtained as the remainder of the division (modulo 2) by the generator polynomial multiplied by the content of the header excluding the HCS field.
The HCS can be one octet long, as in WiMAX, or a 16-bit value for cable modems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksia%20undata%20var.%20undata | Banksia undata var. undata is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
It was known as Dryandra praemorsa var. praemorsa until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named Banksia praemorsa (cut-leaf banksia), Mast and Thiele were forced to choose a new specific epithet; their choice, "undata", is from the Latin undatus ("undulate"), in reference to the wavy leaves. As the autonymic variety, the varietal name changed along with the specific name.
It grows in laterite and granitic soils between Clackline and Dwellingup in south west Western Australia. It flowers from August to October.
It is probably the most cultivated of all dryandras.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksia%20undata%20var.%20splendens | Banksia undata var. splendens is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
It was first published by Alex George in 1996, based on a specimen collected by him two years earlier. The name given was Dryandra praemorsa var. splendens, the varietal epithet referring to the "splendid" flower heads. In 2007, all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named Banksia praemorsa (Cut-leaf Banksia), Mast and Thiele chose the new specific epithet "undata"; thus the current name of this variety is Banksia undata var. splendens (A.S.George) A.R.Mast & K.R.Thiele.
It grows in lateritic loam from Bannister north to the Brookton Highway. It flowers from September to October.
It is popular in cultivation, and is favoured by the cut flower trade. There is a pink-flowered form that is especially popular with the cut flower trade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxe.tv | LUXE.TV is a worldwide TV network broadcasting content related to fashion and luxury goods. The channel is based in Luxembourg and broadcast in over 65 countries worldwide.
History
LUXE TV was started by Jean Stock and his son Jean-Baptiste in June 2006. Jean Stock is known in the media industry as co-founder of French leading private channel M6, his early work with RTL Radio and RTL Télé Luxembourg, his position as general secretary of the European Broadcasting Union and his time as chairman and CEO of international French-speaking channel TV5MONDE. LUXE TV HD was one of the first HD channels in Europe, Middle East and Asia.
Sergey Pugachyov's OPK Luxadvor S.A. holding company acquired a 72% controlling stake in the channel from its founders in April 2009. The remainder of the company was held by European media industry personalities including Jean Stock and Charles Ruppert. On 24 September 2010, Jean Stock resigned as president of DVL.TV, while remaining as a member of the board of directors.
In early August 2010, twenty-four of the thirty-seven employees of the TV station had been fired and all production activities had been stopped. OGBL, the Luxembourg Confederation of Independent Trade Unions, was told that the business model didn't work out.
In mid-October 2010, Jean Stock asked the Luxembourg Commercial Court to declare DVL.TV S.A. bankrupt after rejecting a proposed rescheduling of €2.6 million of a €3.25 million loan owed to him by DVL.TV following the takeover by Pugachyov,
On 29 October 2010, Jean Stock was chosen by the Luxembourg Insolvency Administrator in charge of the winding-up process of DVL.TV, as the exclusive party to become the new owner of the network, after submitting the highest bid.
Opuntia S.A. soon put in place a new management structure, with Paul-René Heinerscheid as managing director and attracted a major outside investor. The company turned LUXE TV into a Pay-TV channel, and concluded major new distribution agreements in Europe and Asia. It moved its facilities from the city of Luxembourg to a new location outside in Bascharage in late June 2011.
It is commercially represented by Thema TV in Asia and Russia, and by Lagardère Active in several European markets.
, Luxe.TV is available in 107 countries in the world. 92 million homes have a direct access to the channel (6 million in France, 1.8 million in South Korea and 1.3 million in Portugal). It is distributed by fiber optics, many cable operators in Europe, Middle East and Asia, DTTV channel 7 in Luxembourg and by satellite on Eutelsat's EB-9A (Ku-band), on Arabsat Badr-6 (Ku-band), and on AsiaSat 5 (C-band).
Content and programming
The content mainly consists out of three kinds of formats: documentaries, magazines and news programmes. Although other content is shown, LUXE TV mainly covers six sectors of the "luxury" and lifestyle market:
Real Estate & Home Design
Sports & Leisure
Hotels & Gastronomy
Beauty & Fashion

Licensed to Brookfield, Connecticut, it serves the Danbury area. The station is owned by Townsquare Media; the International Church of the Grace of God programs the station under a local marketing agreement as part of its "Nossa Radio" network, with a full acquisition pending.
By day, WINE transmits with 680 watts, but because 940 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear channel frequency, WINE reduces power at night to only four watts to avoid interference. The station's transmitter is on Carmen Hill Road in Brookfield.
History
On December 12, 1964, WINE signed on the air. Originally it was a daytimer, required to go off the air at sunset. It was simulcast with co-owned FM station 95.1 WGHF, which had gone on the air in 1957. Later, the FM station began using the same call sign as the AM station, WINE-FM. In the 1970s and early 1980s WINE-AM-FM were Top 40 stations. When the AM had to go off the air, WINE-FM continued playing the Top 40 hits at night. By the 1980s, WINE became a full-service, adult contemporary station, while the FM station became album rock outlet WRKI.
In the 1990s, WINE became part of an all-news network that included WNLK (1350 AM) in Norwalk, Connecticut. Both became news/talk a few years later. After being sold to Cumulus Media, WINE spent a few years as an adult standards station, along with now-defunct sister station WPUT (1510 AM) in Brewster, New York.
Both WINE and WPUT switched to an all sports format. At first it was part of ESPN Radio. They switched to CBS Sports Radio on January 2, 2013. WINE's nighttime signal is very weak at 4 watts. WPUT operated daytime only.
WINE's longtime competitor is WLAD in Danbury, now a talk radio station. In addition to WRKI, WINE has a second FM sister station, Patterson, New York's WDBY, which has a booster station in Danbury.
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53 Cumulus stations, including WINE, for $238 million. The deal was part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global were both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management. The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.
The station lost its CBS Sports Radio affiliation in June 2021, and for several weeks, went dark, before returning with a simulcast of WRKI to retain the license.
In January 2023, WINE went silent. That July, Townsquare agreed to sell the station to the International Church of the Grace of God for $150,000; WINE immediately joined its "Nossa Radio" network, also heard on WBIX in Boston and WFLL in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, under a local marketing agreement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule%20of%20least%20power | In programming, the rule of least power is a design principle that
"suggests choosing the least powerful [computer] language suitable for a given purpose". Stated alternatively, given a choice among computer languages, classes of which range from descriptive (or declarative) to procedural, the less procedural, more descriptive the language one chooses, the more one can do with the data stored in that language.
This rule is an application of the principle of least privilege to protocol design. The Rule of Least Power is an example in context of the centuries older principle known as Occam's razor in philosophy. In particular, arguments for and against the Rule of Least Power are subject to the same analysis as for Occam's razor.
Rationale
Originally proposed as an axiom of good design, the term is an extension of the KISS principle applied to choosing among a range of languages ranging from
the plainly descriptive ones (such as the content of most databases, or progressive enhancement on the web),
logical languages of limited propositional logic (such as access control lists),
declarative languages on the verge of being Turing-complete,
those that are in fact Turing-complete though one is led not to use them that way (XSLT, SQL),
those that are functional and Turing-complete general-purpose programming languages, to
those that are "unashamedly imperative".
As explained by Tim Berners-Lee:
Computer Science in the 1960s to 80s spent a lot of effort making languages that were as powerful as possible. Nowadays we have to appreciate the reasons for picking not the most powerful solution but the least powerful. The reason for this is that the less powerful the language, the more you can do with the data stored in that language. If you write it in a simple declarative form, anyone can write a program to analyze it in many ways. The Semantic Web is an attempt, largely, to map large quantities of existing data onto a common language so that the data can be analyzed in ways never dreamed of by its creators. If, for example, a web page with weather data has RDF describing that data, a user can retrieve it as a table, perhaps average it, plot it, deduce things from it in combination with other information. At the other end of the scale is the weather information portrayed by the cunning Java applet. While this might allow a very cool user interface, it cannot be analyzed at all. The search engine finding the page will have no idea of what the data is or what it is about. The only way to find out what a Java applet means is to set it running in front of a person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable%20metallization%20cell | The programmable metallization cell, or PMC, is a non-volatile computer memory developed at Arizona State University. PMC, a technology developed to replace the widely used flash memory, providing a combination of longer lifetimes, lower power, and better memory density. Infineon Technologies, who licensed the technology in 2004, refers to it as conductive-bridging RAM, or CBRAM. CBRAM became a registered trademark of Adesto Technologies in 2011. NEC has a variant called "Nanobridge" and Sony calls their version "electrolytic memory".
Description
PMC is a two terminal resistive memory technology developed at Arizona State University. PMC is an electrochemical metallization memory that relies on redox reactions to form and dissolve a conductive filament. The state of the device is determined by the resistance across the two terminals. The existence of a filament between the terminals produces a low resistance state (LRS) while the absence of a filament results in a high resistance state (HRS). A PMC device is made of two solid metal electrodes, one relatively inert (e.g., tungsten or nickel) the other electrochemically active (e.g., silver or copper), with a thin film of solid electrolyte between them.
Device operation
The resistance state of a PMC is controlled by the formation (programming) or dissolution (erasing) of a metallic conductive filament between the two terminals of the cell. A formed filament is a fractal tree like structure.
Filament formation
PMC rely on the formation of a metallic conductive filament to transition to a low resistance state (LRS). The filament is created by applying a positive voltage bias (V) to the anode contact (active metal) while grounding the cathode contact (inert metal). The positive bias oxidizes the active metal (M):
M → M+ + e−
The applied bias generates an electric field between the two metal contacts. The ionized (oxidized) metal ions migrate along the electric field toward the cathode contact. At the cathode contact, the metal ions are reduced:
M+ + e− → M
As the active metal deposits on the cathode, the electric field increases between the anode and the deposit. The evolution of the local electric field (E) between the growing filament and the anode can be simplistically related to the following:
where d is the distance between the anode and the top of the growing filament. The filament will grow to connect to the anode within a few nanoseconds. Metal ions will continue to be reduced at the filament until the voltage is removed, broadening the conductive filament and decreasing the resistance of the connection over time. Once the voltage is removed, the conductive filament will remain, leaving the device in a LRS.
The conductive filament may not be continuous, but a chain of electrodeposit islands or nanocrystals. This is likely to prevail at low programming currents (less than 1 μA) whereas higher programming current will lead to a mostly metallic conductor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKLY | KKLY (89.5 FM) is a radio station in El Paso, Texas, United States. It is owned and operated by the Educational Media Foundation as a transmitter in its K-Love network, airing contemporary Christian music.
Prior to being sold to EMF, the station was KXCR, a public, bilingual jazz music radio station, between 1985 and 2002.
History
On October 19, 1983, the Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit to ETCOM (Empowerment Through Communication) for a new, 126-watt noncommercial radio station on 89.5 MHz in El Paso. ETCOM had been seeking a bilingual radio station for El Paso since 1976, when it was founded by the Metropolitan Board of Missions, and had already produced public radio programming for NPR, including feature capsules and a radio drama on the life of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.
The new station went on the air in May 1985 as KXCR, a station with an emphasis on local and community programs, mostly in English but with some output in Spanish. The young station was chosen to house the Latin American News Service, a Corporation for Public Broadcasting-supported news agency providing bilingual reporting on Latin America to as many as 77 public radio stations. The news service closed in 1989 due to a failure to secure funding sources beyond the CPB.
By 1989, KXCR's primary musical format was jazz. The station was struggling for funding in a rare market with two separate public radio operations and had nearly gone off the air in 1988. The jazz and world music programming was supplemented by additional spoken-word fare, such as the public radio program The World, in 1996. It added alternative music at night in 1998, seeking to reach a youth audience. Beginning in April 1995, one particularly unusual feature produced at KXCR—distributed to 185 stations in the United States and beyond—was Universo, the Spanish-language version of StarDate. (KXCR itself did not air the program, which station executives believed to be the only syndicated radio program originating from El Paso.)
In April 2002, KXCR ceased to air most of its programming, with the temporary exception of its youth shows, and was leased out to the Educational Media Foundation, which immediately began airing K-Love. EMF closed on the $1 million purchase of the station in January 2003. The studios were purchased by the Self Reliance Border Media Project after the EMF takeover.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WJXN-FM | WJXN-FM (100.9 MHz) is a radio station licensed to Utica, Mississippi, and serving the Jackson area. It airs a worship music format as part of the Air1 network, operated by the Educational Media Foundation. The station is owned by Memphis-based Flinn Broadcasting. Its studios are in Ridgeland.
WJXN-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 39,000 watts. The transmitter site is in Crystal Springs, Mississippi.
History
In , WJXN (then at 92.9 MHz) first signed on the air. It had a Top 40 format and was branded 92.9 The Heat." But The Heat was turned off after just a few months.
In 1991, WJXN switched to oldies. It was branded J92. But that only lasted a year.
In 1992, WJXN made another switch--to country music. It was branded Star 92. Later that year, WJXN started simulcasting WOAD. WOAD's then-owner, Holt Communications, had leased WJXN, and changed the call sign to WOAD-FM.
In December, 1997, WJXN was sold to Flinn Broadcasting. In December, 1999, WJXN swapped frequencies with WDXO, and moved to its current frequency at 100.9 MHz.
For several years, WJXN-FM was leased to the non-profit Educational Media Foundation and was affiliated with the "K-Love" Christian Contemporary music network until 2012.
On July 26, 2012, the lease was transferred to Meridian, Mississippi-based New South Radio (then doing business as "The Radio People"). WJXN-FM first switched to adult hits, branded as 100.9 Jack FM.
On March 1, 2014 at midnight, WJXN-FM began stunting. Then on March 3, the station relaunched as classic country-formatted "100.9 The Legend."
In March 2017, New South Radio acquired WHJT from Mississippi College. On July 31 of that year, the classic country format moved to WHJT, with New South Radio terminating its lease on WJXN-FM. Then end of the lease caused WJXN-FM to go silent.
On October 9, 2017, after two months of silence, WJXN-FM returned to the air with classic hip-hop, billing itself as "Hot 100.9". During these three months, the station utilized national programming from Westwood One's Classic Hip-Hop network.
On January 5, 2018, WJXN-FM ended its "Hot 100.9" classic hip hop phase. WJXN-FM was rebranded as "g 100.9", this time under an local marketing agreement (LMA) deal with Alpha Media. That company replaced the Westwood One programming with Alpha's in-house presentation, thus putting it in line with Alpha's g-branded stations.
On February 19, 2021, WJXN-FM flipped back to adult hits, again as "Jack FM." A portion of its signal overlaps with WDXO, another adult hits station in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, known as "92.9 Jack-FM."
On January 1, 2023, WJXN-FM dropped the "Jack FM" adult hits format due to Alpha Media's operation of the station coming to an end. WJXN-FM switched to the Educational Media Foundation's Air1 worship music format.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Item%20%28game%20terminology%29 | In pencil and paper games and computer and video games, an item is an object within the game world that can be collected by a player or, occasionally, a non-player character. These items are sometimes called pick-ups.
Items are most often beneficial to the player character. Some games contain detrimental items, such as cursed pieces of armor that confers a negative bonus to the wearer and cannot be removed until the curse itself is lifted; the means to do this may be costly or require a special item. Some items may also be of absolutely no value to the player. Items are especially prevalent in role-playing games, as they are usually necessary for the completion of quests or to advance through the story.
Sometimes certain items may be unique, and only appear once at a specific location, often after completing a particular task. Other items may appear frequently, and not give a big bonus alone, but when many are collected. Games may differ on how the player uses an item. Some games, many in the Mario and Sonic series, an item is automatically used when the player character comes into contact with it. There are also games, such as those in the Streets of Rage series, and the first Prince of Persia games where the player character may walk over an item without collecting it, if they do not need it yet, and the player must push a particular button for the character to collect it, but it still used immediately, when the button is pressed. Other times, some games, like many role playing games, an item can be collected either automatically or manually, but will not be used immediately, the item can be carried around and used manually either straight away if they wish or at a later time when the player needs it.
Types
Items often come in various types and in most games where items are collected, they are sorted by these types. In RPGs, an item inventory is a common UI feature where one can view all the items that have been collected thus far. Often, these are sorted by categories, such as "equipment" or "potions." In other game genres, the items may take effect as soon as they are obtained.
In platform games
In many platformers, like Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros., items are scattered throughout the level in item boxes or on their own. Many video game items are common to all games.
1-ups or continues give the player character "extra lives" and allow them to continue after being killed. 1-ups usually come in the form of the main character's face (or the text "1UP," though this is less common in modern games.) In some games, they can also be obtained in special stages and by collecting a large number of minor treasure items (i.e., collect 100 rings in Sonic games to gain one extra life.), by finishing levels in a certain amount of time, or by getting a certain number of points.
Treasure such as coins, rings, gems or jewelry are another common item. These are often used to determine the player's score. In some games, particularly those with |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAWR | WAWR (93.5 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian worship format airing programming from the nationally syndicated Air1 feed. Licensed to Remsen, New York, United States, the station serves the Utica–Rome area. The station is owned by Educational Media Foundation.
History
The station signed on the air on December 1, 1982, and ran as an adult contemporary station as WIBQ (B-93.5) until 1992 when it switched format and callsign to WKDY to become "Hot Country KDY 93.5". KDY Country stayed on 93.5 until a frequency swap took place in 1993 between WKDY and oldies-formatted WUUU. WUUU then became "Oldies 93.5". More than a year later, Norma Eilenberg changed WUUU's format to easy listening and became "Warm 93.5" . In 1996, "Warm 93.5" switched its callsign to WRFM. It adopted the slogan "not lite, just right" posing itself a rival to longtime AC Station WLZW (Lite 98.7). In 1997, Norma Eilenberg sold WRFM along with sister station WSKS to Dame Media and WRFM rebranded as "93.5 Warm FM", but retained the format. A year later, the station began to switch to a Christmas music format between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
In 1999, Dame Media was brought by Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia). Clear Channel retained WRFM's format as "93.5 Warm FM" until December 26, 2002, when it flipped to an oldies format as "Kool 93.5". Its slogan, "Superhits Of The 60's and 70's" posed itself as a competitor to Oldiez 96 (WODZ). Shortly afterward, the station changed calls to WUCL. Clear Channel attempted to boost coverage in the Utica area with the addition of translator W231BI which was installed on the same Smith Hill tower as then-sister station WOUR. Despite the signal boost for downtown Utica, "Kool 93.5" was no match for WODZ and in December 2004, WUCL changed format to classic hits/adult contemporary and became "93.5 The River" with the slogan "It's All About The Music". One month after the format change Clear Channel changed the station's callsign to WOKR, the former call letters of Rochester's WHAM-TV which was also owned by Clear Channel Communications. The format served as a complement to then-sister station WOUR.
In 2007, Clear Channel decided to exit the small markets such as the Utica–Rome market. Galaxy Communications acquired WOKR and spun off the station, along with its own classic rock station WRCK, to Educational Media Foundation. WOKR then joined the God's Country Radio Network while WRCK joined the Air 1 satellite feed.
WOKR's affiliation with God's Country was made possible by a local marketing agreement between EMF and God's Country Radio Network formed in June 2008. Under the agreement, both parties agreed that if God's Country Network could satisfy the terms of the LMA (the length of the LMA contract term was not made public), it would eventually assume ownership of both stations.
The following month, EMF requested permission to move WOKR's primary translator to a new site in East Floyd, New York. EMF contended that it wo |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KMWS | KMWS (89.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Mount Vernon, Washington. The station is owned by Washington State University, and airs Northwest Public Broadcasting's news and talk programming, consisting of syndicated programming from NPR, APM and PRX, as well as locally produced offerings.
History
The current 89.7 license began life as KSVR, the radio station of Skagit Valley College, on May 4, 1973.
In August 1996, Bellingham's public radio station, KZAZ, had applied to build a new FM station in Mount Vernon at 91.7 FM to expand its coverage area. This application would prove particularly useful for Washington State University after Northern Sound merged with Northwest Public Radio in 1997. KSVR at 90.1 was causing co-channel interference to KNWP, the Northwest Public Broadcasting transmitter at Port Angeles. In May 2000, Northern Sound offered to transfer the 91.7 construction permit to Skagit Valley College to move KSVR there and solve the interference problem. The original KSVR license was then transferred to Washington State and relaunched as KMWS in November 2002, at which time the KSVR intellectual unit moved to 91.7. In 2007, KMWS moved to 89.7 MHz at higher power and began broadcasting in HD Radio.
The M in the KMWS call letters honors WSU alumnus and Skagit County native Edward R. Murrow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesmic | Seesmic was a suite of freeware web, mobile, and desktop applications which allowed users to simultaneously manage user accounts for multiple social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter.
Launched in 2008 by French entrepreneur Loïc Le Meur, the service was initially a video sharing website, billed as a cross between YouTube and Twitter, allowing short video comments to be published online. Le Meur shut down the service in 2009 due to its stagnating user base, and then relaunched Seesmic as a social networking tool, with a suite of desktop, mobile and web apps integrating streams from Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites. Following the failure to monetize the company, in 2011 Seesmic was relaunched yet again as a customer relations management app.
History
Starting out life as a video blogging website, its original aim was to make video uploading from webcams easier to promote online video conversations. Seesmic made its debut at the Demo tech conference where it was called the "Twitter of video". It had 20,000 users and 70,000 viewers per month as of 2008. On 3 April 2008, Seesmic announced that it had purchased Twhirl, an Adobe AIR based Twitter client.
In 2009, Loïc Le Meur, Seesmic's founder, announced that the video portion of the site had stagnated as it struggled to attract new users. He refocused the site, changing the objective from creating a new video social networking site to creating a suite of tools that would instead aggregate content from other social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. The video site, whilst remaining available, was relegated to a different domain name.
Le Meur moved from Paris to San Francisco to relaunch Seesmic due to the perception that it would stand a better chance of success there. It was backed by a number of investors, the primary one being Atomico, a venture group that includes Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, who sold Skype to eBay in 2005 for $2.6 billion.
In January, 2010 Seesmic acquired Ping.fm. In March, 2010, Seesmic reached 1 million registered users.
Seesmic produced a number of social network clients including:
Seesmic Desktop - a cross platform Twitter and Facebook desktop client written using Adobe AIR. Version 2 was rewritten in Microsoft Silverlight and added support for Google Buzz.
Seesmic Web - a Twitter web application client for Twitter written using Google Web Toolkit
Seesmic for Android - a native Twitter client, Facebook, and Salesforce Chatter client for Android
Seesmic for Windows Phone 7 - a native Twitter, Facebook, and Salesforce Chatter client for Windows Phone 7
Seesmic for iPhone - a native Twitter, Facebook and Ping.fm client for iPhone and iPod Touch
Seesmic for BlackBerry - a native Twitter client for BlackBerry - discontinued in June 2011
In August 2011, Seesmic announced it was moving into the Customer Relations Management business, releasing Android and iOS CRM apps that interfaced with Salesforce.com. The former social media apps |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistive%20touchscreen | In electrical engineering, a resistive touchscreen is a touch-sensitive computer display composed of two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air gap or microdots.
Description and operation
There are two different types of metallic layers. The first type is called matrix, in which striped electrodes on substrates such as glass or plastic face each other. The second type is called analogue which consists of transparent electrodes without any patterning facing each other. As of 2011 analogue offered lowered production costs. When contact is made to the surface of the touchscreen, the two sheets are pressed together. On these two sheets there are horizontal and vertical lines that, when pushed together, register the precise location of the touch. Because the touchscreen senses input from contact with nearly any object (finger, stylus/pen, palm) resistive touchscreens are a type of "passive" technology.
For example, during the operation of a four-wire touchscreen, a uniform, unidirectional voltage gradient is applied to the first sheet. When the two sheets are pressed together, the second sheet measures the voltage as distance along with the first sheet, providing the X coordinate. When this contact coordinate has been acquired, the voltage gradient is applied to the second sheet to ascertain the Y coordinate. These operations occur within a few milliseconds, registering the exact touch location as contact is made, provided the screen has been properly calibrated for variations in resistivity.
Resistive touchscreens typically have high resolution (4096 x 4096 or higher), providing accurate touch control. Because the touchscreen responds to pressure on its surface, contact can be made with a finger or any other pointing device.
Comparison with other touchscreen technology
Resistive touchscreen technology works well with almost any stylus-like object, and can also be operated with gloved fingers and bare fingers alike. In some circumstances, this is more desirable than a capacitive touchscreen, which needs a capacitive pointer, such as a bare finger (though some capacitive sensors can detect gloves and some gloves can work with all capacitive screens). A resistive touchscreen operated with a stylus will generally offer greater pointing precision than a capacitive touchscreen operated with a finger. Costs are relatively low when compared with active touchscreen technologies, but are also more prone to damage. Resistive touchscreen technology can be made to support multi-touch input. Single-touch screens register multiple touch inputs in their balanced location and pressure levels.
For people who must grip the active portion of the screen or must set their entire hand down on the screen, alternative touchscreen technologies are available, such as an active touchscreen in which only the stylus creates input and skin touches are rejected. However, newer touchscreen technologies allow the use of multi-touch without t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MidnightBSD | MidnightBSD is a free Unix, desktop-oriented operating system originally forked from FreeBSD 6.1, and periodically updated with code and drivers from later FreeBSD releases. Its default desktop environment, Xfce, is a lightweight user friendly desktop experience.
History and development
MidnightBSD began as a fork from FreeBSD in 2005. The founder of the project, Lucas Holt, wished to create a BSD derived desktop operating system. He was familiar with several live CD projects, but not the work on TrueOS or DesktopBSD. At the same time, he also had an interest in GNUstep. The two ideas were folded into a plan to create a user friendly desktop environment.
MidnightBSD 0.1 was released based on the efforts of Lucas Holt, Caryn Holt, D. Adam Karim, Phil Pereira of bsdnexus, and Christian Reinhardt. This release features a modified version of the FreeBSD ports system. The ports system evolved into "mports" which includes fake support, generation of packages before installation, license tagging, and strict rules about package list generation and modification of files outside the destination. Many of these features were introduced in MidnightBSD 0.1.1.
Christian Reinhardt replaced Phil Pereira as the lead "mports" maintainer prior to the release of MidnightBSD 0.1. D. Adam Karim acted as the security officer for the first release. All release engineering is handled by Lucas Holt.
0.2 introduced a refined imports system with over 2000 packages. The Portable C Compiler was added on i386 in addition to the GNU Compiler Collection. Other changes include enabling ipfw and sound card detection on startup, newer versions of many software packages including Bind, GCC, OpenSSH, and Sendmail, as well as a Live CD creation system.
As of September 2021, the last release is version 2.1, with many features imported from FreeBSD 11. The default desktop environment was switched to Xfce, but WindowMaker plus GNUstep is still available.
Etymology
MidnightBSD is named after Lucas and Caryn Holt's cat, Midnight, a ten-pound black Turkish Angora.
License
MidnightBSD is released under several licenses. The kernel code and most newly created code are released under the two-clause BSD license. There are parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC, and Beerware licenses, along with three- and four-clause BSD licenses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual%20Studio | Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs including websites, web apps, web services and mobile apps. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.
Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) as well as code refactoring. The integrated debugger works as both a source-level debugger and as a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a code profiler, designer for building GUI applications, web designer, class designer, and database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that expand the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for source control systems (like Subversion and Git) and adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle (like the Azure DevOps client: Team Explorer).
Visual Studio supports 36 different programming languages and allows the code editor and debugger to support (to varying degrees) nearly any programming language, provided a language-specific service exists. Built-in languages include C, C++, C++/CLI, Visual Basic .NET, C#, F#, JavaScript, TypeScript, XML, XSLT, HTML, and CSS. Support for other languages such as Python, Ruby, Node.js, and M among others is available via plug-ins. Java (and J#) were supported in the past.
The most basic edition of Visual Studio, the Community edition, is available free of charge. The slogan for Visual Studio Community edition is "Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers".
, Visual Studio 2022 is a current production-ready version. Visual Studio 2013, 2015 and 2017 are on Extended Support, while 2019 is on Mainstream Support.
Architecture
Visual Studio does not support any programming language, solution or tool intrinsically; instead, it allows the plugging of functionality coded as a VSPackage. When installed, the functionality is available as a Service. The IDE provides three services: SVsSolution, which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions; SVsUIShell, which provides windowing and UI functionality (including tabs, toolbars, and tool windows); and SVsShell, which deals with registration of VSPackages. In addition, the IDE is also responsible for coordinating and enabling communication between services. All editors, designers, project types and other tools are implemented as VSPackages. Visual Studio uses COM to access the VSPackages. The Visual Studio SDK also includes the Managed Package Framework (MPF), which is a set of managed wrappers around the COM-interfaces that allow the Packages to be written in any CLI compliant language. However, MPF does not provide all the functionality exposed by the Visual Studi |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roads%20in%20Ukraine | Ukraine has a variety of road types within its road network. The roads are divided into two main categories: general-use roads, which consist of streets and roads in populated areas like cities and villages, and specialized roads, which include official, private, and special-use roads. The general use roadways are the main traveling routes and some better are part of the E-road network. High-speed highways (motorways), however, locally known as avtomahistrali or expressways (shvydkisni dorohy) are rare and only available on selected segments of major routes. Big construction projects to improve the national road infrastructure was announced in early 2010 in preparation to the Euro 2012 football competition and there was established Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine headed by Borys Kolesnikov. The reality turned out to be more prosaic, and the road infrastructure continues to required additional improvements.
Ukraine's network of roadways was inherited from the Ukrainian SSR (Soviet Ukraine), and during the Soviet period it was part of the bigger Soviet network of roadways. The modern network consists 99% of roads for public use with 12% assigned as of state importance and 87% - local importance. The whole network of all automobile roads (roadways) consists of some of which - have hard surface or 95.19%. The existing road network was mostly built (established) sometime in the 1960s and 1970s. For comparison, in 1940 the highway network of Ukraine consisted of 270,700 kilometers of which only 10.8% contained a paved surface.
Some critics point out that not only road conditions, but road safety is in complete disarray and the level of police corruption has not diminished after the recent reforms.
Since 2020, the big construction project named "Great Construction" is in full flow and since then, many roads have been reconstructed or renovated.
Overview
After the fall of the Soviet Union all road service state bodies within Ukraine were reorganized. The state agency Ukravtodor was established as a state corporation in 1990, replacing the Ministry of Roadways of Soviet Ukraine as the state governing body of automobile roads in modern Ukraine. It is supplemented by a project institute Ukrhiprodor which designs objects of road management. Ukravtodor is supervised by the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine. On February 28, 2002 by the Presidential order the state owned open stock company Avtomobilni dorohy Ukrainy (ADU) was created. The company was directly involved in road construction and maintenance. In 2016 ADU was merged into Ukravtodor, with the latter now owning 100% of its shares.
In 2015 the World Bank Group approved a US$560 million loan to improve road conditions in Ukraine particularly along the M03 route between Poltava and Kharkiv among others.
In 2016 many of Ukraine's major provincial highways were in very poor condition, with 97% of roads in need of repair at that time, according to Ukravtodor. This high figure was mostly |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRNI | KRNI (1010 AM) is a radio station licensed to Mason City, Iowa, United States. The station is owned by Iowa Public Radio, Inc., and carries the network's "News and Information" service.
KRNI was established as KSMN, the second local station in Mason City, in 1948. KSMN provided news and, ultimately, country music until it was switched to a simulcast of KLSS (106.1 FM), the FM station previously started by KSMN, in 1985. When the owners of KLSS-AM-FM acquired another AM station in 1990, this station was divested and donated to UNI.
History
Establishment and early years
The Mohawk Broadcasting Company, led by Robert Carson, incorporated in 1947 and filed for and received a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to build a new radio station on 1010 kHz, to operate with 1,000 watts during daytime hours only, on October 30. Building work began before year's end at a former schoolhouse three miles east of town on U.S. Route 18, and KSMN made its debut on March 1 of that year. The call letters were said to stand for "Komplete Sports Music News". The station suffered a devastating fire to its transmitter site, causing $35,000 in damage, on the night of January 29, 1951; the heat was so intense that the keys melted off typewriters and the entire plant was a total loss, though the studios were not, having previously been moved to the Weir building in downtown Mason City. The station was back in service three days later thanks to emergency equipment provided by transmitter manufacturers and other Iowa radio stations.
In 1952, KSMN principals formed the Twin States Television Corporation. The group then filed for channel 3, which had been allotted to Mason City. This application, however, conflicted with one by Mason City station KGLO; Twin States withdrew its application in October 1953, allowing for the construction of KGLO-TV (now KIMT) on the channel.
Mohawk Broadcasting sold KSMN in 1956 to Land o' Corn Broadcasters, owned by Charles V. Warren, for $115,000. Warren then sold the company to Red Blanchard and Harry Campbell in 1959 for $140,000; by this time, KSMN had additional studios in Hampton and Clear Lake. While Blanchard moved to Mason City, he continued to host the weekly WGN Barn Dance show in Chicago, commuting 800 miles round-trip in his own aircraft each week; he noted that it only took him 30 minutes longer to get to the studio in Chicago than it did when he lived in Berwyn, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, and that he had fun making the journey.
Talley and Hedberg ownership
Blanchard and Campbell sold KSMN to Hayward Talley of Litchfield, Illinois, trading as the North Central Iowa Broadcasting Company, in 1963. The sale was made because of the increasing demands on Blanchard as an entertainer, with more public appearances and a planned color television broadcast of the Barn Dance. An editor's note in the Globe-Gazette newspaper accompanying an editorial written by Blanchard to bid the town farewell noted that |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WVTQ | WVTQ (95.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to Sunderland, Vermont, United States. The station is owned by Vermont Public as part of its Classical network, airing classical music. WVTQ broadcasts from atop Mount Equinox in Manchester.
WVTQ has been operated by Vermont Public and its radio predecessor, Vermont Public Radio, since 2007. Previously, it was a commercial country music station under the WJAN call sign.
History
In August 1990, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a construction permit for a new radio station to Ron Morlino, who beat three other applicants seeking 95.1 MHz at Sunderland after leaving his position at WEQX, the other radio station transmitting from Mount Equinox. A country music format was chosen based on community input.
WJAN began broadcasting on May 1, 1991, providing listeners in Bennington County a local alternative to WGNA-FM, a country music radio station in Albany, New York. The station aired eight hours of locally hosted music a day in morning and afternoon drive, with the remainder of the programming supplied by the Satellite Music Network. The reach of the country format expanded considerably in January 1994 when WYOY (94.5 FM) in Rutland, which had not broadcast in more than a year, became WJEN, simulcasting WJAN's programming; the combined service became known as "Cat Country", a nod to Vermont's catamounts. WJAN–WJEN grew into a cluster in 1996 when the group acquired Rutland station WJJR, adopting the name Peak Communications.
The Peak cluster was sold to Albany Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of Pamal Broadcasting, in 1999; Morlino believed that consolidation in the radio industry obligated him to buy more stations or sell out, and he had received several unsolicited offers for the trio even though it was not on the market. While the sale awaited FCC approval, Cat Country managed to fool its competitors—WSYB and WZRT—and the Rutland Daily Herald. One afternoon in late April, Don Glaze taped himself to a lamppost while wearing a cardboard box, claiming he needed a job. The Herald published an interview in which he described his girlfriend breaking up on him after moving from Illinois. However, he did in fact have a job—as a new DJ for WJAN–WJEN.
In June 2006, Pamal sold WJAN to Vermont Public Radio for $625,000. It did so in order to meet ownership limits in the Albany market, where Pamal had acquired the silent WNYQ (105.7 FM) in Queensbury and was restoring it to service from a new transmitter site. The station initially broadcast VPR's primary program service; the next year, as VPR began expanding its all-classical program service, WJAN was switched to broadcast it and renamed WVTQ.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLBL%20%28AM%29 | WLBL (930 AM) is a radio station licensed to Auburndale, Wisconsin, serving Stevens Point and Wisconsin Rapids. The station is part of Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR), and airs WPR's "Ideas Network", consisting of news and talk programming.
WLBL is the second-oldest station in the Wisconsin Public Radio network. It traces its history to WPAH in Waupaca, which was licensed to the Wisconsin Department of Markets, and began broadcasting on February 5, 1923. The Department later moved its operations to Stevens Point and changed the calls to WLBL in May 1924. In 1932, it began sharing programs with Madison's WHA—the ancestor of today's Wisconsin Public Radio network. Owned for many years by the state Commerce Department, it is now owned by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board.
WLBL must power down to 70 watts at sunset, resulting in spotty coverage even in Wisconsin Rapids and missing Stevens Point altogether. During the fall, winter, early spring, and late summer, it is allowed to boost its power to 500 watts at 06:00, then go to full power at sunrise. Because of this, the full Ideas Network schedule is heard on two FM translators, 100.9 Marshfield and 99.1 Stevens Point, and on the third HD subchannel of Wausau's WHRM-FM (90.9), a sister station to WLBL which carries WPR's NPR News and Classical service.

Its HD-2 digital subchannel carries all classical nusic. Its HD-3 signal rebroadcasts sister station WHA 970 AM and feeds FM translator W213CE at 90.5 MHz.Radio-Locator.com/W213CE
History
The station signed on the air on . It was the first FM station in the network that would become Wisconsin Public Radio. The call sign was WHA-FM, co-owned with its sister station, WHA 970 AM. At first, the two stations simulcast their programming, a mix of classical music, news, university lectures and public affairs shows. Originally WHA 970 was a daytimer station. When it had to go off the air at night, 88.7 WHA-FM continued its programming.
By the late 1960s, WHA-FM began airing some programming that was separate from 970 AM. Eventually, simulcasting was reduced and the FM station sought its own identity.
The call letters became WERN in 1974.
Because WHA-FM/WERN began broadcasting before current maximum levels were set by the Federal Communications Commission, the station's signal is grandfathered. It runs at a higher power for its height above average terrain (HAAT) than would be permitted today. It covers a large area which affords WPR's "News and Classical Network" a strong signal across Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois including the Rockford area and Metro Milwaukee.

The station is part of Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) and airs WPR's "NPR News & Music Network", consisting of classical music and news and talk programming, as well as local news from WPR's regional studio in Eau Claire.
Prior to being a Wisconsin Public Radio transmitter, WVSS was a station programmed by students at the University of Wisconsin–Stout in Menomonie. Student programming moved off the FM frequency in 1988, and it broadcast classical music programming for two years until joining WPR in 1990.
History
On April 1, 1968, Stout State University was awarded a construction permit to build a new radio station on 89.5 MHz, to broadcast with 10 watts; a committee had been researching the idea of a station as early as 1966. WVSS began broadcasting in 1970, initially operating for seven hours a day; this soon expanded, and the station broadcast from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. by 1980. The studios were located in what had been the boys' locker room in the basement of the former Central Elementary School, which the university had previously purchased to convert into a communications center. Broadcasts were upgraded to stereo in 1975; the first broadcasts over the summer took place in 1980, to come into compliance with new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.
In 1988, student programming from UW–Stout moved to a cable system as "C-Rock", in part so that the students could produce programming without meeting FCC rules and also to allow for the student operation to be supported by local advertisers. The general manager, Arthur "Ace" Matthews, implemented an automated schedule of classical music programming. This had originally been put in place to help the station meet FCC minimum operating hour requirements; Matthews spent about $6,000 of his own money on a collection of some 540 classical music CDs. The station then went silent for seven months in 1990 to replace its antenna and returned with WPR programming that November. The changes came at a time when WPR was restructuring into two program services—the NPR News & Classical (now News & Music) service used by WVSS and the Wisconsin Ideas Network—but only had one transmitter to cover western Wisconsin.
In 1994, WPR proposed to co-site the WVSS transmitter with WHWC at a site near Wheeler. The site change was mutually exclusive with an application by Wisconsin Voice of Christian Youth—owner of WVCY-FM in Milwaukee—for a radio station in Eau Claire, which was ultimately the one approved in December 1995. The News & Music service is now heard in Eau Claire on WUEC.
Programming
The NPR News & Music Network, heard on WVSS, offers the national Morning Edition and All Things Considered programs from NPR, as well as Fresh Air and Marketplace, and classical music during the day and at night.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdata | Interdata, Inc., was a computer company, founded in 1966 by a former Electronic Associates engineer, Daniel Sinnott, and was based in Oceanport, New Jersey. The company produced a line of 16- and 32-bit minicomputers that were loosely based on the IBM 360 instruction set architecture but at a cheaper price. In 1974, it produced one of the first 32-bit minicomputers, the Interdata 7/32. The company then used the parallel processing approach, where multiple tasks were performed at the same time, making real-time computing a reality.
Some real-time applications Interdata computers were used for included: Core Protection Calculator, used in some later Combustion Engineering designed nuclear power plants; lottery systems manufactured by GTech; the NexRad weather radar system. Many companies used them for internal high speed laboratory data capture, such as United Technologies Research Center in East Hartford, Connecticut wind tunnel, General Electric R&D in Schenectady, New York, and Perkin-Elmer in Connecticut (which later acquired Interdata).
The operating system for the 16-bit computers was called OS/16, and for the 32-bit computers OS/32. The assembly language could generate series independent object code. Later, as with Gould, SEL, Modcomp and other real time competitors, they offered a 32-bit time sharing system called MTM (Mutli Terminal Monitor).
Acquisitions
In 1973, it was purchased by Perkin-Elmer Corporation, a Connecticut-based producer of scientific instruments for $63.6 million. Interdata was already making $19 million in annual sales but this merger made Perkin-Elmer's annual sales rise to over $200 million. Interdata then became the basis for Perkin-Elmer's Data Systems Group. In 1985, the computing division of Perkin-Elmer was spun off as Concurrent Computer Corporation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takapu%20Road%20railway%20station | Takapu Road railway station is on the suburban rail network of Wellington, New Zealand, on the Kapiti section of the North Island Main Trunk Railway (NIMT). It is double tracked with side platforms. It serves the suburbs of Redwood and Grenada North, and the rural Takapu Valley.
Services
Takapu Road is served by Kapiti Line commuter trains operated by Transdev Wellington under the Metlink brand operating between Wellington and Porirua or Waikanae. Services are operated by electric multiple units of the FT/FP class (Matangi). Two diesel-hauled carriage trains, the Capital Connection and the Northern Explorer, both pass through the station but do not stop.
Off-peak trains stop at all stations between Wellington and Waikanae. During peak periods, trains from Wellington that stop at all stations may terminate at Porirua or Plimmerton and return to Wellington while a number of peak services run express between Wellington and Porirua and thus do not stop at Takapu Road.
Travel times by train are twelve minutes to Wellington, nine minutes to Porirua, and forty-eight minutes to Waikanae.
Trains run every twenty minutes during daytime off-peak hours, more frequently during peak periods, and less frequently at night. Before July 2018, off-peak passenger train services between Wellington and Waikanae stopping at Takapu Road ran every thirty minutes but were increased to one every twenty minutes from 15 July 2018.
In October 2014, Metlink announced that a further 60 "Park and Ride" parking places would be available at the station during the week.
History
Takapu Road is one of only three stations on the Kapiti Line not on track built by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (WMR); the other two are Redwood immediately to the north, and Tawa adjacent to the original WMR built station. The WMR built the original route of the NIMT between Wellington and Longburn and it was purchased by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) in December 1908. The original route between Wellington and Porirua, via Johnsonville and now truncated to the Johnsonville Line, was bypassed in the 1930s by the Tawa Flat deviation. Takapu Road is on the northern section of this deviation. The deviation opened for freight traffic on 24 July 1935 but Takapu Road did not open until passenger services began on 19 June 1937. The line was electrified in June 1940.
According to Hoy:
Takapu Road station was built on private land. The station, and the fact that all but a few suburban trains would stop there, was part of the agreement of passing through. It is only in recent years that extra passengers have begun using the station as more homes are built in the district.
The original passenger shelters at Takapu station were replaced with new shelters in the year ending June 2015.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel%20Chocolat | Hotel Chocolat is a British chocolate manufacturer and cocoa grower. The company produces and distributes chocolate and other cocoa related products online and through a network of cafés, restaurants, outlets, and factory stores. Hotel Chocolat is the only company in the United Kingdom to grow cocoa on its own farm.
History
In 1988, Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris began designing and selling mints under the brand "Mint Marketing Company (MMC)", before moving to chocolates about six years later under the "Geneva Chocolates" brand. Thirlwell and Harris' success led them to expand their business into the catalogue order market under the "Chocolate Express" brand.
In 1998, the Chocolate Tasting Club was launched in Britain; as of 2014, it has around 100,000 members. To date, the Tasting Club has trialled over 1,500 different recipes. As detailed on their website, the Chocolate Tasting Club sends out boxes to customers all over the country each month.
In 2003, Chocolate Express (ChocExpress) rebranded as Hotel Chocolat and launched its first retail store in the center of Watford. The company then grew initially to having four stores in the East Anglian area, with stores in Milton Keynes, Cambridge and St Albans opening between 2005 and 2006. In January 2023, the company had 125 stores across the United Kingdom.
In 2006, the company officially acquired the Rabot Estate in Saint Lucia, and is, to date, the only company in the UK to own its own cocoa farm. This farm is one of the reasons given for the company choosing not to be Fair Trade-accredited, as only smallholdings are allowed.
In 2011, Hotel Chocolat opened its Boucan Hotel in Saint Lucia. The hotel sits on the Rabot Estate which is perched high up between the Piton mountains. The hotel currently has six lodges and a cocoa-inspired Boucan Restaurant.
In November 2013, Hotel Chocolat opened two UK restaurants, Rabot 1745 in London's Borough Market, and Roast + Conch in Leeds.
In May 2016, Hotel Chocolat became listed on the London Stock Exchange as Hotel Chocolat Group PLC.
In August 2017, Hotel Chocolat opened its first stores in the Republic of Ireland in Dundrum, Dublin.
In January 2019, British television station Channel 5 aired a two-series documentary as part of their "Inside" series, titled "Inside Hotel Chocolat". Another British television station, Channel 4, aired two documentaries in 2022 also focused on Hotel Chocolat; the first was "Hotel Chocolat at Easter" in April 2022 and the second was titled "Hotel Chocolat: Inside the Chocolate Factory" in August of 2022.
Corporate affairs
Leadership
Hotel Chocolate is led by cofounders Angus Thirlwell (CEO) and Peter Harris.
Locations
Hotel Chocolat has 125 shops in the United Kingdom (as of January 2023) and 33 stores in Japan (as of May 2022). In 2022, the company announced plans to close all five locations in North America. It continues operation online and through a network of wholesalers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart%20Data%20Compression | Smart Data Compression is a compressed GIS dataset format developed by ESRI. It stores all types of feature data and attribute information together as a core data structure. The SDC format is used in ESRI products such as ArcGIS StreetMap, ArcIMS Route Server, RouteMAP IMS, ArcGIS Business Analyst, and the ArcMobile SDK.
Compression ratios range from 8x to 20x depending on the data source and structure. SDC data is optimized for rapid map display, accurate routing, and high-performance geocoding.
Smart Data Compression is a proprietary format. The FAQ for ESRI's RouteServer IMS notes that additional datasets for that application must be prepared by an ESRI subsidiary at additional cost.
The SDC technology was developed by Software Technologies, ESRI partner in Russia.
Tele Atlas and NAVTEQ provide North American commercial street datasets in SDC format. This data was prepared using the Data Development Kit Pro (DDK Pro), which ESRI licenses to select vendors.
The term Smart Data and idea was coined and created by Dr. James A Rodgers professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and James A George, Circa "Smart Data Enterprise Performance Optimization Strategy"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAGI | KAGI (930 AM) is a radio station in Grants Pass, Oregon, United States. The station is owned by Southern Oregon University and is part of its Jefferson Public Radio (JPR) network; it airs JPR's "News & Information" service, consisting of news and talk programming. While it principally broadcasts at 930 kHz on the AM band, a translator, K250BZ (97.9 FM), rebroadcasts its programming on the FM band in the Grants Pass area.
KAGI is the oldest station in Grants Pass, starting as KUIN on December 16, 1939. It became KAGI in 1958, coinciding with a power increase. The Smullin family was involved in the station for its first 52 years of existence until donating the station to Southern Oregon University in 1991. The donations of KAGI and KSJK in Talent allowed JPR to begin providing a separate news and information station.
History
The station was put on the air as KUIN by Southern Oregon Broadcasting Company—a group formed by Bill Smullin, founder of California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc., and Grants Pass Daily Courier publisher Amos Voorhies—on December 16, 1939. It was the first radio station in Grants Pass. The call letters were taken from the former name of station manager John Bauriedel's wife, Quinn.
The station broadcast at 1310 kHz from its start until March 29, 1941, when all stations on 1310 moved to 1340 kHz as part of the radio reallocations of NARBA; it operated with 100 watts until being approved for 250 watts on June 4, 1940. KUIN joined the Mutual Broadcasting System and Don Lee Network in 1943. In 1958, KUIN was approved to change its frequency from 1340 to 930 kHz and operate with 1,000 watts; it changed its call letters to KAGI on December 5, 1958. A previous attempt to move to 1480 kHz with 5,000 watts was denied in 1956 on interference grounds.
In 1961, a sale of the station was made to a group of stockholders known as KAGI, Inc., in which Southern Oregon Broadcasting Company was also an owner. The sale came a year after Voorhies died; by his death, he had also owned part of three Oregon television stations in association with Smullin.
The adult contemporary-formatted station was donated to Southern Oregon State College, now Southern Oregon University, by the Smullin family in 1991, a donation valued at $300,000. It was the second donation of an AM station to the network after KSJK in Talent, Oregon, in 1990. The donations of the two AM stations allowed the college's Jefferson Public Radio network to begin broadcasting a separate news and information service on the transmitters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot%20Wars%20%28film%29 | Robot Wars is a 1993 American cyberpunk film directed by Albert Band and written by Charles Band and Jackson Barr. It tells the story of a hotshot mech pilot in a post-apocalyptic 2041 who must stop mech hijackers from provoking global war.
Plot
By 2041, North America has been ravaged by "the great toxic gas scare of 1993": large swaths of land have been turned into inhospitable desert, where bands of raiders called "Centros" attack transports. The former United States have been assimilated into a Western bloc called the North Hemi. The opposing Eastern bloc is known as the Eastern Alliance, and the North Hemi is planning to salvage its economy by manufacturing defense robots called "mini-megs" for the Eastern Alliance. These robots would be half-sized offshoots of giant "mega-robots", once ubiquitous in warfare, but now reduced to a single specimen, the Mega-Robotic Assault System-2 (or MRAS-2, pronounced "Merras-2" for short in dialogue) which looks like a mechanized scorpion.
MRAS-2 conducts tours for civilians, and carries laser assault weapons and a magnetic shield ("mag-shield" for short in dialogue) to defend itself. It is operated by captain Drake and his copilot Stumpy. During a transport run, MRAS-2 is ambushed by Centros. Drake opts for a defensive strategy, but his boss Rooney, Chief of Operation in Op Com, orders him to attack so he can show off the robot to general Wa-Lee and his aide Chou-Sing, visiting dignitaries from the Eastern Alliance sent to negotiate the purchase of the mini-meg series. The violent rocking motions of MRAS-2 during the battle cause an archaeologist passenger, Dr. Leda Fanning, to drop and break her valuable specimens. When Drake brings MRAS-2 to port, Leda angrily confronts Drake about the specimens, but he dismisses her with flirtatious remarks.
Drake is summoned to Rooney's office, and shows him a recovered Centro weapon which appears to be of Eastern alliance origin. Drake deduces that the Eastern alliance is conspiring with the Centros, but Rooney disbelieves him. Drake pressures Rooney to stop the MRAS-2 tours to avoid risking more lives, and when his boss refuses, Drake vows to quit piloting the robot. Meanwhile, Leda has met with her journalist friend Annie, and exposes some suspicious activity going on in Crystal Vista, a perfectly preserved 20th-century town that was abandoned during the toxic gas scare: according to Leda, the town is built on a layer of "infasorb-8", a 21st-century material not invented when the town was abandoned, which is impenetrable to satellite imaging, and she has found components in an underground tunnel that are similar to those of the old MEGA-1 robot, which was supposedly dismantled.
Later, Wa-Lee holds a traditional fighting ceremony. During a break in the fighting, Chou-Sing draws Wa-Lee's attention to Drake sitting in the audience. Wa-Lee invites Drake, who apparently has long-standing animosity against him, to fight. Drake initially declines, but Wa-Lee insists. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirch%20Group | KirchGruppe (KirchGroup) was a German media group founded by Leo Kirch in the 1950s. It was the dominant buyer and seller of TV programming rights in Germany. By 2000, it controlled a 52.5 percent stake in what became the country's biggest broadcaster, ProSiebenSat.1 Media.
The group collapsed in 2002 largely due to the debts associated with the purchase of sports rights for its television channels and the launch of pay-TV services. It was Germany's biggest corporate collapse since World War II.
KirchMedia declared bankruptcy on 8 April 2002, followed by KirchPayTV on 8 May 2002 and finally KirchBeteiligung on 12 June 2002 along with the holding company for the group, Taurus Holding.
History
In 1955, Kirch, an assistant professor at the University of Munich, founded Sirius Films and in 1956, he borrowed $54,000 to acquire the German rights to Federico Fellini's La Strada, which was successful in Germany. He also bought the rights to other Italian films, including Franco Rossi's Amici per la pelle, which became the first feature film to be broadcast on German TV without a prior theatrical release in 1958 after failing to find a distributor. In 1958, he acquired seven Luchino Visconti films.
In 1959, he formed BetaFilm and in 1961 Reiner E. Moritz joined and became chief executive of BetaFilm. The Kirch Group moved into the American market in 1959, acquiring the television rights to 100 films from United Artists and Warner Bros.
In 1960, Kirch made its first package sale, selling 700 films to German public broadcaster ARD. In 1963, it sold 300 films to Germany's second public broadcaster ZDF. Also in 1963, Kirch founded TaurusFilm as a rights acquisition company. TaurusFilm Video was founded in 1983 as a pioneering company for sell-through home video.
With conductor Herbert von Karajan, Kirch founded classical music production company Cosmotel in 1964. Cosmotel broke up and in 1966 Unitel was established to replace it. Unitel produced Great Performances for PBS in 1974, the first weekly classical music program in the United States and became the world's leading producer of classical music film, TV and video.
Kirch co-founded Teleclub in Switzerland, the first pay TV channel in Europe. Following the launch of Germany's first commercial broadcaster Sat.1 in 1984, Kirch subsidized their entertainment programming for two years. In 1988, Kirch took over PKS (Programmgesellschaft für Kabel- und Satellitenrundfunk) which gave the group a 43% stake in Sat.1. In 1997, the stake was increased to 59%.
In 1985, Kirch acquired 10% of Germany's largest newspaper publisher Axel Springer following the death of the founder. The investment in Axel Springer eventually increased to over 40%.
In 1989, Kirch acquired Germany's second largest book club, Deutschen Büecherbund, from Holtzbrinck Publishing Group.
In 1991, Germany's first pay-TV channel, Premiere, was launched by Kirch, Bertelsmann and Canal+ and took over Teleclub's 100,000 subscribers. In 1993, |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss%20America%201984 | Miss America 1984, the 57th Miss America pageant, was held at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey on September 17, 1983, on NBC Network. Miss America 1983, Debra Maffett (Miss California 1982) crowned her successor, Miss New York 1983, Vanessa Williams of Millwood, New York at the end of the nationally televised event. In July 1984, Williams was forced to resign over the unauthorized publication of nude photographs and was succeeded by first runner-up, Miss New Jersey Suzette Charles, who served as Miss America until September 15, 1984. Among the contestants who did not place among the ten finalists, Miss New Mexico 1983 Mai Shanley, eventually went on to win the Miss USA 1984 pageant on May 17, 1984.
Overview
During the preliminaries for the Miss America 1984 pageant, Vanessa Williams won "Preliminary Swimsuit" and "Preliminary Talent" (with a vocal performance of "Happy Days Are Here Again"). She was crowned Miss America 1984 on September 17, 1983 (becoming the first African American woman to win the title).

According to Williams, Chiapel said that "he had a concept of having two models pose nude for silhouettes. Basically to make different shapes and forms. The light would be behind the models. I was reluctant, but since he assured me that I would be the only one to see them and I would not be identifiable in the photographs, I agreed. He had also gotten another model to agree to this."
