https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%20Computer%20Systems | Magnuson Computer Systems was a manufacturer of plug-compatible computers compatible with IBM mainframes. The Magnuson M80 range was available from the late 1970s and was successful when IBM struggled to ship machines. The company declared bankruptcy in March 1983 after IBM introduced new models and reduced prices.
The Magnuson processors were aimed at the lower end of IBM's product line. They had a number of unique design features. Perhaps the most notable was the voting logic on each processor card. All of the slots in the main chassis were interchangeable. All slots were filled on only the high-end model.
Carlton Amdahl, son of Gene Amdahl, was Vice President of Engineering at Magnuson. He went on to work with his father at Trilogy Systems. There the "tell me three times" logic was incorporated into their chip designs at the level of individual gates and flip-flops.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihalis%20Yannakakis | Mihalis Yannakakis (; born 13 September 1953 in Athens, Greece) is professor of computer science at Columbia University. He is noted for his work in computational complexity, databases, and other related fields. He won the Donald E. Knuth Prize in 2005.
Education and career
Yannakakis was born in Athens, Greece in 1953 and attended Varvakeio High School for his early education. He graduated from the National Technical University of Athens in 1975 with a diploma in Electrical Engineering, and then earned his PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University in 1979. His dissertation was entitled "The Complexity of Maximum Subgraph Problems".
In 1978 he joined Bell Laboratories and served as Director of the Computing Principles Research Department starting from 1991 until 2001, when he left Bell laboratories and joined Avaya Laboratories. There he served as Director of the Computing Principles Research Department until 2002.
In 2002 he joined Stanford University, where he was a professor of computer science, and left in 2003 to join Columbia University in 2004, where he is currently serving as the Percy K. and Vida L. W. Hudson Professor of Computer Science.
From 1992 to 2003, Yannakakis served on the editorial board of the SIAM Journal on Computing and was the editor-in-chief between 1998 and 2003. He also was a member of the editorial board of the Journal of the ACM from 1986 to 2000. Other editorial board memberships include the Journal of Computer and System Sciences, the Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, and the Journal of Complexity. He has also served on conference committees and chaired various conferences, such as the ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems and the IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science.
As of June 2020, his publications have been cited close to 35,000 times, and he has an h-index of 93.
Research
Yannakakis is known for his contributions to computer science in the areas of computational complexity theory, database theory, computer aided verification and testing, and algorithmic graph theory.
Among his contributions to complexity theory are two papers about the PCP theory and about hardness of approximation.
In the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing of 1988, Yannakakis and Christos Papadimitriou introduced the definitions of the complexity classes Max-NP and Max-SNP. Max-NP and Max-SNP (which is a subclass of Max-NP) contain a number of interesting optimization problems, and it was shown by Yannakakis and Papadimitriou that these problems have some bounded error. These findings were able to explain the lack of progress that had been seen in the research community on the approximability of a number of optimization problems, including 3SAT, the Independent Set problem, and the Travelling Salesman Problem.
Yannakakis and Carsten Lund presented a number of findings regarding the hardness of computing approximations at the Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing of 1993. These findin |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%20Mobile%20Smartphone | Windows Mobile Smartphone is a smartphone running the Windows Mobile Standard operating system. The hardware specifications for the devices is known as "Windows Mobile Standard".
History
The Windows Mobile OS was born out of a brief partnership between Sendo, a British telecommunications manufacturer and Microsoft. The contract provided for source code published by Microsoft, to enable Sendo to create the then-name Windows Pocket PC OS for their products.
Microsoft withheld major blocks of the code, passing the work to Taiwanese electronics company HTC, and enabling them to create the HTC Canary, based on the Smartphone/WM Standard OS.
Description
Windows Mobile Smartphones were introduced with the Pocket PC 2002 operating system for Pocket PCs. Although in the broad sense of the term "Smartphone", both Pocket PC phones and Microsoft branded Smartphones each fit into this category, Microsoft's use of the term "Smartphone" includes only more specific hardware devices that differ from Pocket PC phones. Such Smartphones were originally designed without touchscreens, intended to be operated more efficiently with only one hand, and typically had lower display resolutions than Pocket PCs. Microsoft's focus for the Smartphone platform was to create a device that functioned well as a phone and data device in a more integrated manner.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club%20Med%202 | Club Med 2 is a five-masted computer-controlled staysail schooner owned and operated by Club Med and operated as a cruise ship. It combines the power of seven computer-operated sails with more traditional diesel-electric power, having four diesel generators that power two electric motors. Club Med 2 was launched in 1992 in Le Havre, France. Her sister ship Club Med 1 was sold to Windstar Cruises and renamed Wind Surf in 1998.
The ship, one of the largest sailing cruise ships in the world, carrying up to 386 passengers with a crew of 214, sails the waters of the Mediterranean, Aegean Sea and Adriatic Sea in the summertime and the Caribbean in the winter, finding her way into anchorages larger cruise ships cannot reach. Transatlantic voyages are offered in the spring (eastbound) and fall (westbound).
The ship provides ballroom dancing, bridge and music, and sails at night making a stop each morning. A water sports deck can be deployed from the stern.
History
The ship was based on Windstar Cruises' smaller 5,350-ton, 148-passenger Wind Star, Wind Spirit and Wind Song motor sailing yachts. All were built by Société Nouvelle des Ateliers et Chantiers du Havre, France.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbita%20digitata | Cucurbita digitata is a species of flowering plant in the squash family known by the common names fingerleaf gourd and bitter squash. It is similar to Cucurbita californica, Cucurbita cordata, Cucurbita cylindrata, and Cucurbita palmata and all these species hybridize readily. These species form the only restricted xerophyte species group in the genus Cucurbita. Each member of this species group is native to the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico where they are relatively uncommon. Each group member is found in hot, arid regions with low rainfall. They prefer soil that is loose, gravelly, and well-drained. C. digitata is native to northern Baja California at higher elevations, northern Sonora, Mexico, southern Arizona, and southwestern New Mexico. The juvenile leaves of C. cylindrata, C. cordata, C. digitata, and C. palmata show a high degree of similarity, but their mature leaves are visibly different, as are their root structures. C. palmata and C. digitata are sympatric, with C. palmata separating the ranges of C. digitata at the juncture of Baja California, California, and Arizona. C. digitata fruits are clear green mottle that turns yellow at maturity, striped, and round.
It was first identified by Asa Gray in 1853.
Description
Cucurbita digitata is a hairy vining plant with sharply palmate leaves having five fingerlike lobes. It is quite similar in appearance to its close relative, the coyote gourd Cucurbita palmata, but the lobes of its leaves are usually more slender.
It has curling yellow flowers up to 5 centimeters wide.
The fruit is a dark green squash, rounded or nearly rounded, with mottling and distinct white stripes. The bitter fruit is very distasteful and generally not edible, although a few animals may hesitantly eat the flesh while trying to get at the seeds. Each white seed is about a centimeter long and at 35% protein and 50% fat is a nutritious food.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WLXK | WLXK (88.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Contemporary Christian format airs the K-LOVE programming format from Rocklin, California. Previously, it simulcasted WRCM in Wingate, North Carolina when it was owned by Columbia International University. Licensed to Boiling Springs, North Carolina, United States, the station is currently owned by the Educational Media Foundation.
Gardner–Webb University radio station WGWG signed on in 1974 with beautiful music and "The Afternoon Rock Show". The signal increased to 50,000 watts in 1994. Streaming began in 1998. By 1999, the format included music performed live in the studio, talk shows, and high school football. The music format changed from adult album alternative in 2010. Gardner–Webb announced the sale of the 88.3 frequency and the move by the radio station to online-only June 28, 2013.
On October 6, 2014, it was announced that then-WRZM, along with WRCM and its translators, were being sold to EMF Broadcasting. The deal closed on December 19, 2014, a day later than expected because of last-minute legal issues. WRCM's General Manager Joe Paulo signed the station off as a local broadcasting entity with a prayer and Chris Rice's rendition of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" at 4:32 p.m. At that point, WRCM and WRZM flipped its programming to the national K-LOVE network.
K-LOVE later changed the call letters of WRZM to WLXK later that year, which is now known as "K-Love Greenville-Spartanburg".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer%20Science%20%28UIL%29 | Computer science is one of several academic events sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
Computer science is designed to test students' programming abilities. It is not the same as the computer applications contest, which tests students' abilities to use word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications software, including integration of applications.
Computer science began during the 1990-91 scholastic year as strictly a team event. It was not scored as an individual event until the 1996-97 school year.
Eligibility
Students in Grade 9 through Grade 12 are eligible to enter this event.
Each school may send up to four students. However, in districts with eight or more schools the number of students per school may be limited to three. In order for the school to compete in the team competition the school must send three students.
Rules and Scoring
The contest consists of two parts, a written test and a programming exercise.
On the written test, 45 minutes are allotted. No time warnings are given, but at the end of the 45 minutes the student may finish completing an answer. Six points are given for each correct answer; two points are deducted for each incorrect answer. Skipped or unanswered questions are not scored.
On the programming test, two hours are allotted. The solution is graded as correct or incorrect with points assigned for each problem. However, incorrect solutions may be reworked by the team. Any commercially available computer may be used in the competition. The programming language to be used is limited to Java and the compiler used for the contest will be the Oracle Java Development Kit; specific acceptable versions are determined by the UIL prior to each school year.
Determining the Winner
The top three individuals and the top team will advance to the next round. In addition, within each region, the highest-scoring second place team from all district competitions advances as the "wild card" to regional competition, and within the state, the highest-scoring second place team from all regional competitions advances as the wild card to the state competition. Members of advancing teams who did not place individually remain eligible to compete for individual awards at higher levels.
For individual competition (overall and for each subsection), the tiebreaker is percent accuracy (number of problems answered correctly divided by number of problems attempted, defined as any question with a mark or erasure in the answer blank). In the event a tie remains, all remaining individuals will advance.
For the team competition the first tiebreaker is the programming score, then the written exam score (using the total score tiebreaker system used at the district level). If a tie still exists, all remaining tied teams will advance or place.
For district meet academic championship and district meet sweepstakes awards, points are awarded to the school as follows:
Individual places: 1st--15, 2nd--12, 3rd--10, 4th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton%20House%20%28Milton%2C%20Wisconsin%29 | Milton House is a historic building located at 18 South Janesville Street in Milton, Wisconsin. It was a stop on the Underground Railroad, a network of people and places that facilitated the movements of escaped slaves. The building has been asserted to be the first grout building built in the United States; although that claim is dubious, the house's grout construction apparently was influential. The AIA Journal called it the "Oldest standing concrete structure of any consequence." It is also known for its hexagonal shape.
Description
The Milton House is a grout building consisting of a three-story hexagonal section with a two-story hexagonal wing. The hotel's main rooms are located within the tower, which has a central spiral stairway with rooms on the sides; the common rooms are on the first floor, while the upper floors and the wing contain guest rooms. The house's grout construction inspired Orson Squire Fowler, an advocate of octagonal homes, to recommend the use of grout in such buildings. Behind the house is the Goodrich Cabin, which was built in 1837 and brought to the site in 1839; it was one of two cabins in which Goodrich lived when he first settled in Milton.
History
Joseph Goodrich, the founder of Milton, settled in Milton in 1839; he built a log cabin, since demolished, and brought the 1837 cabin to the site. Goodrich was a Seventh Day Baptist from the Burned-over district of western New York, and like most people of his faith, he was known for his anti-slavery sentiments. Goodrich built the Milton House in 1845, which became a popular stop for travelers due to its location at the intersection of the military road between Chicago and Madison and the road from Janesville to Fort Atkinson. The house's proximity to these routes and the Rock River allowed it to function as a stop on the Underground Railroad; fugitive slaves in Wisconsin frequently followed the river to the area before taking the road to Racine, where a boat could take them to Canada. A tunnel connects the main building to a nearby cabin; while the circumstances in which the tunnel was constructed are unknown, Joseph's son Ezra claimed the tunnel was used to hide runaway slaves. Goodrich also hosted prominent abolitionist Sojourner Truth at the house when she visited Milton in the 1860s. Goodrich reportedly brought imported cement by wagon and mixed a fluid grout of cement and sand, pouring it into box forms filled with river water.
In 1937 the house was in poor condition, uninhabited, and was threatened with being demolished. The Milton Historical Society acquired and restored the building.
The house and cabin are open to the public via guided tours.
Milton House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1998. It is the most prominent abolitionist site still standing in Wisconsin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WFAM | WFAM (1050 AM) is a commercial radio station in Augusta, Georgia. It has a Christian talk and teaching radio format and is owned by Wilkins Communications Network, based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. WFAM carries shows by national Christian leaders as well as local preachers. Hosts include Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, June Hunt and John MacArthur. It is a brokered programming station, in which hosts buy time on the station and may use their shows to ask for donations to their ministries.
By day, WFAM is powered at 5,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. But because AM 1050 is Mexican clear channel frequency, WFAM must greatly reduce power at night to 82 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Laney Walker Boulevard at Hayes Drive.
History
The station signed on the air on . Its original call sign was WAUG. It was a daytimer station, required to go off the air at night. The following year, it was joined by a sister station, WAUG-FM at 105.7 MHz, now WLUB. The two stations were owned by the Garden City Broadcasting Company, with studios in the Bon Air Hotel.
It has been a Christian radio station since the early 1970s. The station also became an affiliate of the ABC Information Network in the 1970s.
In 1978, the station's call letters became WHGI, in 1985 the call sign switched to WIGL and in 1986, to the current WFAM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFBU | KFBU (1630 AM) is a non-commercial religious music and talk station licensed to Fox Farm, Wyoming and serving the Cheyenne, Wyoming region, under the YNOP branding.
Programming
The station currently clears the entire network schedule of YNOP, with hosts such as David Jeremiah in the mornings, Jay Sekulow in the early afternoons, and Greg Laurie in the evenings. The company designates free time for CCM and some occasional hymnals in-between shows, and is completely music based at night. The station has an affiliation with 20 The Countdown Magazine during late Saturday afternoons, where as neighboring KUYO has it in the early afternoon.
History
KFBU began as the "Expanded Band" twin to an existing station on the standard AM band. On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available transmitting frequencies, which ranged from 1610 to 1700 kHz. This authorized then-KJJL in Cheyenne to modify its not-yet-built Construction Permit for a relocation to Fox Farm on 1530 kHz to instead change to 1630 kHz.
A construction permit for the expanded band station on 1630 kHz was assigned the call letters KKWY on November 21, 1997. The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. However, this deadline was extended multiple times, and the originating standard AM band station, by then KJUA on 1380 kHz, was not deleted until March 18, 2019.
KKWY had a classic country format. On April 10, 2005, the call sign was changed to KRND, and the station would eventually be switched to 24/7 Spanish-language programming under La Familia Broadcasting. In 2013, an application was submitted for 1.7kW by KRND, and effective February 19, 2020, the license was switched over from La Familia to Spanish Media Consulting Corporation, amongst numerous attempts to make antenna adjustments.
In March 2021, the station fell silent, as a result of a sale from La Familia Broadcasting to media conglomerate Cedar Cove Broadcasting, and on the 20th, the station signed on as a re-broadcaster of the KRKY-FM brand of country music and classic hits. Both KRND and its translator were involved in the sale, allowing a tri-plex of Vic Michael's stations in the Cheyenne market. On March 29, 2021, the call sign was changed to KVAM, after it was transferred from a station on 1570 AM in Loveland, Colorado. The sale by La Familia Broadcasting was consummated on May 13, 2021, at a price of $40,000.
In July 2021, after just a two and a half month run with Michael's K-rocky, the station, along with the 94.7 translator, switched affiliates to religious YNOP, and begin broadcasting the network's programming effective immediately. The KRKY format is no |

The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and serves as Augusta's affiliate for the Black Information Network. Its studios are located at the Augusta Corporate Center near the I-20/I-520 interchange in Augusta, and the transmitter tower is west of Paine College in Augusta.
Up until September 2010, this station, as WSGF, carried a gospel format as "Hallelujah 1340". In September 2010, WYNF and its sports format moved to 1340; the call sign and format were previously on 1380, which was sold off and later became WNRR.
On June 29, 2020, fifteen iHeartMedia stations in markets with large African American populations, including WYNF, began stunting with African American speeches, interspersed with messages such as "Our Voices Will Be Heard" and "Our side of the story is about to be told," with a new format slated to launch on June 30. That day, WYNF, along with the other fourteen stations, became the launch stations for the Black Information Network, an African American-oriented all-news network. Prior to the change, WYNF was a Fox Sports Radio affiliate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef%20School | Chef School is a reality television series which airs on Food Network Canada. It is a 26-part docu-soap that follows the experiences of 12 students at the Stratford Chef School, one of Canada's most prestigious culinary schools.
The show airs in Canada, Hong Kong and the UK.
Top chefs from restaurants in Toronto, Vancouver and New York judge and critique the students' cooking.
Series development
Crystal Asher, a second-year student at Stratford Chef School, approached Red Apple Entertainment president Rachel Low with the idea. Early in the program's development, the idea of a formal competition was ruled out, as the creators expected there would already be sufficient dramatic elements. For the first season, the producers chose 12 of 36 students in the school to follow. 1,000 hours of footage were edited down to the 13 half-hour episodes of the series' first season. Of the twelve students, only nine returned for the second season. One student, Danielle, did not graduate.
Reception
At the time of the series debut, John Doyle of The Globe and Mail wrote, "It's a charming series, much less noisy and more astute than some of the higher-profile cooking-school shows."
The 12 students
Alex Landheer, the group's "troublemaker".
Allison Jones, who is a former pastry chef.
Andrew Coristine, who chose chef school over entering a PhD program in physics.
Ben Sachse, Swiss-Canadian, studied Anthropology before pursuing a career in cooking.
Danielle Stahlke, a former amateur hockey player.
Dave Lingard, who has the most prior restaurant experience of the 12.
Joyce Singh, a Stratford native.
Kelsey Murray, the youngest of the group.
Matthew Duffy, with a B.Comm in Hotel and Food Administration
Mike Brennan, who is a known party animal.
Richard Francis, who is putting his life back on track after drug-and-alcohol rehab.
Tim Besserer, the oldest and most overlooked member of the group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWYO | KWYO (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Country music format. Licensed to Sheridan, Wyoming, United States, the station is currently owned by Lovcom, Inc. and features programming from CBS News Radio.
All Lovcom stations are located in the Sheridan Media Radio Center, at 1716 KROE Lane on Sheridan's east side.
History
KWYO signed on the air for the first time on Monday, July 9, 1934 at 7:00pm, becoming Sheridan, Wyoming's first radio station. (KWYO is the second oldest radio station in Wyoming, behind KTWO in Casper, which signed on as KDFN in 1930.) The original studio location was on the second floor of the Carroll's Furniture Store at 340 N. Main. During its early years, KWYO operated only at various times of the day, generally closing down in the afternoon from 1pm to 5pm. Between 1934 and 1941, the station increased its air time to a 17½ hour broadcast day. In 1941, the power was increased from 100 to 1000 watts and KWYO moved from 1370 to 1410 on the AM dial. In 1949, the studios were moved to the upper floor of the Gillette building at 21 North Main Street, and another move to 140 East Loucks occurred in 1961. In 1977, the power was increased to 5,000 watts. A sister FM station, KLWD (now KYTI), signed on at 96.5FM in 1978. In the mid 80s, the studios were relocated again, and throughout most of the 1990s, the programming originated from the 2nd floor of an office building at 2 North Main. In 1997, KWYO's studios were relocated to the Sheridan Media building at 1716 KROE Lane. In 2017, KWYO began simulcasting programming at 106.9 FM on translator K295CP.
Programming
KWYO began operation with 2,000 phonograph records ranging from grand opera to jazz. Through the 80s and 90s the station played country music from records and compact disc. When the studios moved to the Sheridan Media building the format on KWYO was changed to Westwood One's satellite-delivered "Adult Standards." Several years later, the music lineup was revamped slightly with a move to ABC's "Memories" format, and then again when that satellite format was dropped in favor of a Waitt Radio Networks provided Adult Contemporary format. At 1pm on January 29, 2008, the format was changed to "Oldies Plus," also provided by Waitt Radio Networks. A few years later, it was switched again to a Classic Country format provided by Westwood One. In addition to music, KWYO broadcasts Sheridan City Council meetings, and provides live play-by-play of Sheridan area football and basketball games. The station was an ABC News affiliate for many decades, but switched to CBS News in the mid-2010s.

All Lovcom stations are located in the Sheridan Media Radio Center, at 1716 KROE Lane on Sheridan's east side.
History
The station initially signed on as KLWD at 96.5 FM in 1978. The original format was easy listening (the call letters intended to imply a "cloud.") In the early 80s the format was switched to AOR, and by the late 80s it had switched again to Oldies with programming including the syndicated "Solid Gold Saturday Night". In 1993 the format was switched to Adult Contemporary, and the call letters were changed to KWYO-FM on June 11, 1993. In 1997, Lovcom, Inc. bought the station from Community Media. As part of that move, the country format on Lovcom's KROE was moved to the newly acquired FM, and on July 14, 1997, the station changed its call sign to the current KYTI. Along with the call letter change, the station increased power to 75,000 Watts and moved to 93.7FM. The station added HD Radio programming in late 2005, with the HD-2 and HD-3 channels airing a variety of formats over the next several years, including Classic Country on HD-2 and Air America Radio on HD-3. The HD Radio multicast channels eventually settled on ESPN Radio programming on HD-2 and no HD-3 channel, but in early 2014, KYTI ceased all HD Radio programming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%2A | In computer science, B* (pronounced "B star") is a best-first graph search algorithm that finds the least-cost path from a given initial node to any goal node (out of one or more possible goals). First published by Hans Berliner in 1979, it is related to the A* search algorithm.
Summary
The algorithm stores intervals for nodes of the tree as opposed to single point-valued estimates. Then, leaf nodes of the tree can be searched until one of the top level nodes has an interval which is clearly "best."
Details
Interval evaluations rather than estimates
Leaf nodes of a B*-tree are given evaluations that are intervals rather than single numbers. The interval is supposed to contain the true value of that node. If all intervals attached to leaf nodes satisfy this property, then B* will identify an optimal path to the goal state.
Backup process
To back up the intervals within the tree, a parent's upper bound is set to the maximum of the upper bounds of the children. A parent's lower bound is set to the maximum of the lower bound of the children. Note that different children might supply these bounds.
Termination of search
B* systematically expands nodes in order to create "separation," which occurs when the lower bound of a direct child of the root is at least as large as the upper bound of any other direct child of the root. A tree that creates separation at the root contains a proof that the best child is at least as good as any other child.
In practice, complex searches might not terminate within practical resource limits. So the algorithm is normally augmented with artificial termination criteria such as time or memory limits. When an artificial limit is hit, then you must make a heuristic judgment about which move to select. Normally, the tree would supply you with extensive evidence, like the intervals of root nodes.
Expansion
B* is a best-first process, which means that it is very efficient to traverse the tree, repeatedly descending to find a leaf to expand. This section describes how to choose the node to expand. (Note: Whether or not the tree is memory-resident, is a function of the overall implementation efficiency, including how it may be mapped and/or managed via real or virtual memory.)
At the root of the tree, the algorithm applies one of two strategies, called prove-best and disprove-rest. In the prove-best strategy, the algorithm selects the node associated with the highest upper bound. The hope is that expanding that node will raise its lower bound higher than any other node's upper bound.
The disprove-rest strategy selects the child of the root that has the second-highest upper bound. The hope is that by expanding that node you might be able to reduce the upper bound to less than the lower bound of the best child.
Strategy selection
Note that applying the disprove-rest strategy is pointless until the lower bound of the child node that has the highest upper bound is the highest among all lower bounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVSN-DT | KVSN-DT (channel 48) is a television station licensed to Pueblo, Colorado, United States, serving the Colorado Springs area as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Univision. It is owned by Entravision Communications alongside low-power, Class A UniMás affiliate KGHB-CD (channel 27, also licensed to Pueblo). KVSN's transmitter is located on Cheyenne Mountain.
Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, KVSN is considered a semi-satellite of Boulder-licensed KCEC (channel 14, owned by TelevisaUnivision but operated by Entravision under a local marketing agreement [LMA]). As such, it simulcasts all Univision programming as provided through KCEC, and the two stations share a website. However, KVSN airs separate commercial inserts and legal identifications. Local newscasts, produced by KCEC and branded as Noticias Univision Colorado, are simulcast on both stations. Aside from the transmitter, KVSN does not maintain any facilities in Pueblo or Colorado Springs. Master control and internal operations are based at KCEC's studios on Mile High Stadium West Circle in Denver.
History
On April 10, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a three-year construction permit to Entravision to build a new analog television station to serve the Pueblo–Colorado Springs market on channel 48. It was given the call sign KVSN. Shortly after the permit was granted, Entravision opted to build KVSN as a digital-only station and filed an application in April 2008. KVSN commenced operations under automatic Program Test Authority on March 2, 2009, replacing Class A LPTV station KGHB-CA. Its license was granted on June 5, 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain%20Beany | Captain Beany (born Barry Kirk on 23 September 1954) is a Welsh eccentric and charity fundraiser in Sandfields, Port Talbot, South Wales.
Biography
Kirk worked in the computer department of the British Petroleum chemical plant in Baglan, Neath Port Talbot. In May 1991, he changed his name by deed poll to Captain Beany. He began painting his face and bald head orange, donned a golden cape, pants, gloves and boots. To date, Captain Beany claims to have raised over £100,000 for charity through participation in various events, such as the London and New York Marathons.
In 1986 Beany set a world record for the longest time sitting in a bath full of baked beans, which lasted over 100 hours.
In 2006, Beany appeared on the BBC programme, Let Me Entertain You.
In September 2008, Beany climbed Snowdon carrying baked beans in aid of cancer research. Later, in October, during the 2000s financial crisis, he registered the trademark "Credit Crunch" for use on chocolate bars. When Selfridges sold a similarly named product, Captain Beany earned a percentage of the sales under a licensing agreement.
In 2015 Beany raised £3,600 for charity by having 60 baked bean images tattooed on his head. Those sponsoring him had their initials inked inside one of the baked beans.
In 2018 Beany appeared on a Christmas special of Blind Date as one of the choices. He wasn't chosen.
In 2022, Captain Beany appeared on Inside the Superbrands.
In the same year he was mentioned in one of the final rounds of the Jackbox Party Pack 9 game Fibbage 4.
Eccentric of the year
In April 2009, Beany was awarded the title of "Great British Eccentric of the Year" by the Eccentric Club in London. He also officially transformed his council flat into the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence, with British writer Danny Wallace presiding over the opening ceremony.
In December 2009, he teamed up with other Port Talbot musicians to record a charity Christmas song. He completed the Sports Relief Mile 2010 whilst pushing a tin of baked beans on his hands and knees.
The Baked Bean Museum of Excellence in Port Talbot was featured in the 2010 book Behind The Scenes at the Museum of Baked Beans by author Hunter Davies.
He also planned to walk nearly 460 miles around the borders of Wales and England for the Cieran Jones Appeal whilst conveying a plate of baked beans on toast. His planned 'BEANS ON TOAST-A-THON' was to take place in mid August 2010.
Political career
He has also been a candidate in local and general elections throughout Wales. He stood as "Captain Beany of the Bean Party" in the 1991 Neath by-election, coming last with 262 votes (0.7%). He then stood as the "Real Bean" candidate in Aberavon in 1992, again coming last with 707 votes (1.8%). In 1997, he stood in Aberavon again, this time as an Independent, and came last again with 341 votes (1.0%).
In 2000, he formed the New Millennium Bean Party, of which he was the sole member. On this line in Aberavon in the 2001 election, he came sixth |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Drinky%20Crow%20Show | The Drinky Crow Show is an American adult computer-animated cel-shaded animated television series created by Eric Kaplan and Tony Millionaire, based on the latter's comic strip Maakies. The pilot episode aired on Adult Swim on May 13, 2007. The series premiered on November 23, 2008 and ended its run on January 25, 2009. The cancellation of the show was confirmed by a Maakies comic.
Dino Stamatopoulos provided the voice of the title character and David Herman the voices of Uncle Gabby and Captain Maak. Millionaire's then-wife Becky Thyre co-starred as the voice of the Captain's Daughter and Phoebe Bird. Pamela Adlon provided the voice of Mademoiselle DeBoursay, as well as many of the other female characters. Creators Tony Millionaire and Eric Kaplan also provided additional voices. They Might Be Giants perform the show's theme song.
Setting
The show centers on Drinky Crow (an often drunk crow) and Uncle Gabby described as a drunken Irish monkey. It has a 19th-century nautical setting, where the main characters are constantly at war with the French, who are mostly alligators. It is characterized by graphic violence and surreal humor, so it normally is rated TV-MA-V for graphic violence.
Production
The animation is done CGI-animated by Mirari Films's facilities in Brasov using Maya, its resolution and its color palette are deliberately kept low. This gives the show a more traditional cel-animated look, reminiscent of 1950s children's TV cartoon shows.
Characters
Drinky Crow (Dino Stamatopoulos) - A desperate, depressed, tormented, romantic, suicidal, alcoholic crow.
Uncle Gabby (David Herman) - A self-centered, stubborn, overweight Irish monkey who is only after girls and booze. He tends to only think of himself and sometimes tries to manipulate Drinky Crow.
Phoebe Bird (Becky Thyre) - Drinky Crow's on-again, off-again, long-suffering sober seagull girlfriend. She used to date a walrus, but lost interest with him as he kept bringing his work home.
Captain Maak (David Herman) - The brutal, lash-wielding captain of the boat Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby work on. He is an American who does not care much for Uncle Gabby. He will only allow homosexuals near his daughter.
Captain's Daughter (Becky Thyre) - A flirtatious, barefooted, sadistic, Betty Boop-style character who, like her title says, is the captain's daughter. Her real name is never given and the characters refer to her as "Captain's Daughter" (which is likely her real name). Her hobbies include never bathing and flossing her teeth while taking dumps.
Lieutenant Vronchy (Dino Stamatopoulos) - An evil alligator who also is a naval captain for France.
Mademoiselle DeBoursay (Pamela Adlon) - The French spy who works for Lieutenant Vronchy. She is able to sneak in and out mostly by seducing Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow.
Veteran Adult Swim voice actor George Lowe, played many background characters, but did not receive credit on any of the episodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court%20TV | Court TV is an American digital broadcast network and former cable television channel. It was originally launched in 1991 with a focus on crime-themed programs such as the true crime documentary series, legal analysis talk shows, and live news coverage of prominent criminal cases. In 2008, the original cable channel became TruTV.
The channel relaunched on May 8, 2019, as a digital broadcast television network owned by Katz Broadcasting, a subsidiary of the E. W. Scripps Company. Court TV is also available via streaming services such as YouTube TV and Pluto TV, and its audio feed is available on Sirius XM channel 793.
History
As a cable television channel
Cable television channel Courtroom Television Network, known as Court TV, was launched on July 1, 1991, at 6:00 am Eastern Time by founder Steven Brill and was available to three million subscribers. Its original anchors were Jack Ford, Fred Graham, Cynthia McFadden, and Gregg Jarrett. The network was born out of two competing projects to launch cable channels with live courtroom proceedings, the American Trial Network from Time Warner and American Lawyer Media, and In Court from Cablevision and NBC. Both projects were present at the National Cable Television Association, in June 1990. Rather than trying to establish two competing networks, the projects were combined on December 14, 1990. Liberty Media would join the venture in 1991. The network's first logo consisted of a rectangle with the word "COURT", and the letters "TV" below, with a line underneath. The network's second logo ran from 1999 to 2005. The network's third and final logo ran from 2005 to 2007.
The channel originally consisted of live courtroom trials that were interspersed with anchors and reporters. It was led by law writer Steven Brill, who later left the network in 1997. The network came into its own during the Menéndez brothers' first trial in 1994, and the O.J. Simpson murder trial in 1995. In 1998, NBC sold its share of the network to Time Warner. That same year, Court TV began running several original and acquired programs in prime time, such as Homicide: Life on the Street, and Forensic Files. In 1999, it acquired the rerun rights to Fox's Cops.
Recognizing the growth of its prime time programming, Court TV announced in 2005 that it would split its programming into two brands. Daytime trial coverage was branded as Court TV News while other dayparts were branded under the tagline Seriously Entertaining; this programming would feature new reality television series focusing on crime-oriented topics. In January 2006, the network launched a male-targeted programming block known as "RED", an abbreviation of "Real. Exciting. Dramatic."
Time Warner bought full control of Court TV in 2006 and began running it as part of the company's Turner Broadcasting System division. The buyout of Court TV marked Time Warner's first television network acquisition, rather than a sale, since the acquisition of Turner in 1996. On July 11, 2 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QTS%20Skills%20Tests | The professional skills tests, also known as the QTS Skills Tests, were computer-based tests in literacy and numeracy (and until 2012 also in ICT) which were required to be passed by anyone attempting to gain qualified teacher status (QTS) in England until March 2020. The tests must be passed before enrolling onto an initial teacher training course, such as the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), or the Bachelor of Education (BEd).
The goal of the tests is to "assess the core skills that teachers need to fulfil their professional role in schools, rather than the subject knowledge needed for teaching," and "to ensure all teachers are competent in numeracy and literacy, regardless of their specialism."
Information about the tests
The literacy test focuses on spelling, punctuation, grammar and comprehension. The test questions are randomly selected from a bank of standardised questions. The overall difficulty of the test varies, and the passmark is adjusted accordingly.
The numeracy test starts off with a section of 12 mental arithmetic questions, each with a strict time limit, though paper working is allowed. These questions are spoken through headphones and do not appear on the computer screen. This is followed by a section of 16 more complex questions, displayed on the screen, involving interpretation of statistical data and graphs, and problem solving. For this section of the test an on-screen calculator is supplied.
Candidates are restricted to one attempt and two re-sits for each of the tests. If not successful after three attempts, a candidate can make a further attempts.
Candidates whose first language is not English, or who have a recognised special need (for example, dyslexia), are granted extra time to take the tests. Special arrangements are made in the case of visual or hearing impairment, or physical impairment.
Until April 2012 there was also an ICT skills test. The areas of Information and communications technology tested were word processing, spreadsheets, databases, e-mails, the Internet, and presentation software.
Making arrangements to take the test
The tests are administered by learndirect and take place in learndirect test centres around England.
The first attempt at each of the tests is free of charge, but learndirect charge a fee for re-sits.
The tests are conducted on computers in supervised environments. Candidates cannot take any materials, phones, watches, etc. into the test room. Paper is provided for doing mental calculations. The tests can be taken on the same day, or at different times depending on the availability of test slots.
Skills tests in the wider United Kingdom
The professional skills tests are only required for initial teacher training in England. Teachers training in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland do not have to take the tests. However a B grade in GCSE English and Maths is required in Wales, compared to a C grade in England.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented%20database | A document-oriented database, or document store, is a computer program and data storage system designed for storing, retrieving and managing document-oriented information, also known as semi-structured data.
Document-oriented databases are one of the main categories of NoSQL databases, and the popularity of the term "document-oriented database" has grown with the use of the term NoSQL itself. XML databases are a subclass of document-oriented databases that are optimized to work with XML documents. Graph databases are similar, but add another layer, the relationship, which allows them to link documents for rapid traversal.
Document-oriented databases are inherently a subclass of the key-value store, another NoSQL database concept. The difference lies in the way the data is processed; in a key-value store, the data is considered to be inherently opaque to the database, whereas a document-oriented system relies on internal structure in the document in order to extract metadata that the database engine uses for further optimization. Although the difference is often negligible due to tools in the systems, conceptually the document-store is designed to offer a richer experience with modern programming techniques.
Document databases contrast strongly with the traditional relational database (RDB). Relational databases generally store data in separate tables that are defined by the programmer, and a single object may be spread across several tables. Document databases store all information for a given object in a single instance in the database, and every stored object can be different from every other. This eliminates the need for object-relational mapping while loading data into the database.
Documents
The central concept of a document-oriented database is the notion of a document. While each document-oriented database implementation differs on the details of this definition, in general, they all assume documents encapsulate and encode data (or information) in some standard format or encoding. Encodings in use include XML, YAML, JSON, as well as binary forms like BSON.
Documents in a document store are roughly equivalent to the programming concept of an object. They are not required to adhere to a standard schema, nor will they have all the same sections, slots, parts or keys. Generally, programs using objects have many different types of objects, and those objects often have many optional fields. Every object, even those of the same class, can look very different. Document stores are similar in that they allow different types of documents in a single store, allow the fields within them to be optional, and often allow them to be encoded using different encoding systems. For example, the following is a document, encoded in JSON:
{
"FirstName": "Bob",
"Address": "5 Oak St.",
"Hobby": "sailing"
}
A second document might be encoded in XML as:
<contact>
<firstname>Bob</firstname>
<lastname>Smith</lastname>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society%20for%20Information%20Display | The Society for Information Display (SID) is an industry organization for displays, generally electronic displays such as televisions and computer monitors. SID was founded in September 1962. Its main activities are publishing technical journals and running "Display Week", its main conference, held in May or June each year. SID publications include the Journal of the Society for Information Display, published monthly, the Digest of Technical Papers from SID's annual conference, Information Display magazine, proceedings from other conferences such as the Vehicle Displays and Interfaces Symposium, Asia Display, and International Display Workshops. In addition, local chapters in the Americas, Europe, and throughout Asia have meetings frequently, including lectures by display technologists, and are sometimes offered as webcasts. The SID Board of Directors grants several SID awards based upon outstanding achievements and significant contributions.
History
In early 1960s, IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers. Later IRE was merged with AIEE to form IEEE in January, 1963.) declined to create a new Section devoted solely to electronic information displays. This caused founders from IRE to start their own society, Society for Information Display (SID).
SID was founded when Dr. Luxenberg held a meeting on September 29, 1962 at UCLA in Boelter Hall. There were 39 initial attendees. One of the founding members of SID was Edith M. Bairdain. The organization was made up of professionals interested in information display and the interactions between humans and machines. The annual SID symposium, seminar and exhibition is known as "Display Week."
Due to emergence of new display technologies and their successful commercialization, such as cathode-ray tube (CRT), plasma display, liquid-crystal display (LCD) and OLED displays, SID has expanded its scale in membership as well as the attendance in Display Week, its symposium and exhibition.
In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, SID Display Week was held for the first time online. The event drew more than 5,500 attendees from 50+ countries and Takatoshi Tsujimura was named SID president.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20networks%20and%20movements%20of%20the%20French%20Resistance | It is customary to distinguish the various organisations of the French Resistance between movements and networks. A resistance group or network was an organization created for a specific military purpose (intelligence, sabotage, helping prisoners of war escape and preventing shot-down pilots from falling into the hands of the Germans). In contrast, the main goal of a resistance movement was to educate and organize the population.
The majority of resistance movements in France were unified after Jean Moulin's formation of the Conseil National de la Résistance (CNR) in May 1943. CNR was coordinated with the French Forces of the Interior under the authority of the Free French Generals Henri Giraud and Charles de Gaulle and their body, the Comité Français de Libération Nationale (CFLN).
Major Resistance movements
Ceux de la Libération (CDLL) (Right-wing)
Ceux de la Résistance (CDLR) (Apolitical)
Combat (Christian democratic)
Franc-Tireur (Left-wing)
Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (Communist)
Libération-Nord (Left-wing)
Libération-Sud (Left-wing)
Organisation civile et militaire (OCM) (Right-wing at first and left-wing at the end of the war)
Unifications of major movements
The Armée secrète (AS) was formed in 1942 to combine the military organisations of the major resistance movements of Vichy France. The organisation had a particularly-strong presence in the Vercors, Lyon and Massif central départements of the Rhône-Alpes region.
The Mouvements Unis de la Résistance (MUR) was formed in January 1943 as the civilian branch of the Armée Secrète.
The Mouvement de Libération Nationale (MLN) was formed in early 1944 to combine the MUR of the Southern Zone with several movements in the Northern Zone. Many of the volunteers involved in the MLN went on to found the Democratic and Socialist Union of the Resistance.
The Bataillons de la Jeunesse militant communist youth movement was incorporated into the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans (FTP).
Ultimately, unification took place from late 1943 to early 1944 when the Armée Secrète, the Francs-Tireurs et Partisans and other organisations gave birth to the French Forces of the Interior (FFI).
Other movements
The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a British military organisation that directed from London. It parachuted more than four hundred agents into Occupied France to establish escape routes, co-ordinate acts of sabotage, set up radio communications and supply materials and armaments for French groups.
The American OSS and the SOE contributed Jedburgh teams in 1944 to aid the resistance and arrange air supply of equipment.
Défense de la France was a resistance group in the Northern zone that was centred on the distribution of a clandestine newspaper, whose circulation had reached 450,000 by January 1944.
The Groupe du musée de l'Homme was formed by Parisian academics and intellectuals in 1940 after General Charles de Gaulle's Appeal of 18 June. It distributed clandestine newspapers but with a mo |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heworth%2C%20Tyne%20and%20Wear | Heworth () is a residential area in Gateshead, located around from Newcastle upon Tyne, from Sunderland, and from Durham. In 2011, Census data for the Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council ward of Heworth and Pelaw recorded a total population of 9,100.
History
The village's name appears in written records from 1091 as Hewarde, later as Hewrtha, and in 1300 as Hewrthe. In common with most villages in the area, Heworth's history has been intertwined with the fortunes of the quarrying and mining industries. Two large quarries operated in the area, one of which was located at Windy Nook, which is now infilled and used as a public recreation area. The other was located at Low Burn, which is now the site of a cemetery. Heworth Colliery occupied a site to the south-east of Windy Nook quarry, with its own connection to the Pelaw Main Waggonway giving access to the Pelaw Main coal staithes on the River Tyne at Bill Quay.
St. Mary's Church has been a centrepoint of Heworth since around AD 684, with the current church building dating from 1822. The graveyard houses the Haddon Tomb (also known as The Babes in the Bed) – an unusual memorial in the shape of a four poster bed, to three of the Haddon children, William, George and their sister, whose name is now illegible. Local legend has it that the three children died in a fire when a candle fell onto their bed, whilst they were sleeping. This is unlikely to have been the case, as their deaths span a period of six years between 1711 and 1717. It was built by their father, Joseph Haddon, a master mason, who died in 1721, aged 42 years.
Demography
According to the 2011 Census, the Pelaw and Heworth ward has a population of 9,100. The ward is split into three distinct districts:
Bill Quay (population of 1,525) – Located to the east of King George's Field, and to the north of the A185 road.
Heworth (population of 5,273) – Located to the south of the Tyne and Wear Metro line.
Pelaw (population of 2,302) – Located to the north of the Tyne and Wear Metro line, and the A185 road.
52.2% of the population are female, slightly above the national average, while 47.8% are male. Only 2.7% of the population were from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) group, as opposed to 14.6% of the national population.
Data from the 2011 Census found that the average life expectancy in Pelaw and Heworth is 79.1 years for men, and 81.1 years for women. These statistics compare fairly favourably, when compared to the average life expectancy in the North East of England, of 77.4 and 81.4 years, respectively.
Car ownership is lower than the average in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead (63.5%), but lower than the national average of 74.2% – with 61.1% of households in the Pelaw and Heworth ward owning at least one car.
Education
Heworth is served by one primary school, The Drive Community Primary School. In November 2012, the school was rated "good" by Ofsted. Nearby primary schools include Brandling Primary School |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl%20Championship%20Series%20controversies | The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was a selection system used between 1998 and 2013 that was designed, through polls and computer statistics, to determine a No. 1 and No. 2 ranked team in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). After the final polls, the two top teams were chosen to play in the BCS National Championship Game which determined the BCS national champion team, but not the champion team for independent voting systems (most notably the AP Poll). This format was intended to be "bowl-centered" rather than a traditional playoff system, since numerous FBS Conferences had expressed their unwillingness to participate in a play-off system. However, due to the unique and often esoteric nature of the BCS format, there had been controversy as to which two teams should play for the national championship and which teams should play in the four other BCS bowl games (Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Sugar Bowl). In this selection process, the BCS was often criticized for conference favoritism, its inequality of access for teams in non-Automatic Qualifying (non-AQ) Conferences (most likely due to those teams having a lower perceived strength of schedule), and perceived monopolistic, "profit-centered" motives. In terms of this last concern, Congress explored the possibility on more than one occasion of holding hearings to determine the legality of the BCS under the terms of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and the United States Justice Department also periodically announced interest in investigating the BCS for similar reasons.
Overview
A survey conducted in 2009 at the Quinnipiac University found that 63% of individuals interested in college football preferred a playoff system to the BCS, while only 26 percent supported the BCS as status quo. Arguments from critics typically centered on the validity of BCS national championship pairings and its designated National Champions. Many critics focused strictly on the BCS methodology itself, which employed subjective voting assessments, while others noted the ability for undefeated teams to finish seasons without an opportunity to play the national championship game. For example, in the last six seasons of Division I FBS football, there have been more undefeated non-BCS champions than undefeated BCS champions. Other criticisms involved discrepancies in the allocation of monetary resources from BCS games, as well as the determination of non-championship BCS game participants, which need not comply with the BCS rankings themselves. Critics note that other sports and divisions of college football complete seasons without disputed national champions which critics attribute to the use of the playoff format.
Critics argued that increasing the number of teams would increase the validity of team comparisons in conferences, which do not compete with one another during the regular season; teams typically only play three or four non-conference games, as the result of pre-determined schedules. BCS pr |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi%20Commission%20for%20Volunteer%20Service | The Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service is the state agency in Mississippi that oversees national service programs and a growing network of Volunteer Centers. Its mission: to engage and support volunteers of all ages and backgrounds in service to their communities. Like its sister agencies in the other 49 states, the Mississippi Commission (MCVS) passes through federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service to Mississippi nonprofits to host AmeriCorps programs.
MCVS is led by a board of 24 Governor-appointed Commissioners who guide the general direction of the agency and who have fiduciary and programmatic responsibility for the MCVS's portfolio. A staff of 17 work on AmeriCorps, disability inclusion, and the Volunteer Center network. Administrative, fiscal, and training staff support these programs.
History
On September 1, 2005 – just two days after Hurricane Katrina touched down, devastating the Mississippi Gulf Coast – Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour tasked the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service to create and staff a call center to
Ten Volunteer Centers provide volunteers with access to information about local opportunities. Through a partnership with the Points of Light and Hands on Network, Mississippi supports Volunteer Mississippi, a clearinghouse of opportunities, most of which are related to Hurricane Katrina recovery.
Partnerships with other agencies
The Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service works in partnership with many other state agencies, nonprofits, and businesses, all with a goal to increase opportunities for citizens to volunteer. A few of these partners include the Mississippi Center for Nonprofits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo%20number | The Leonardo numbers are a sequence of numbers given by the recurrence:
Edsger W. Dijkstra used them as an integral part of his smoothsort algorithm, and also analyzed them in some detail.
A Leonardo prime is a Leonardo number that's also prime.
Values
The first few Leonardo numbers are
1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25, 41, 67, 109, 177, 287, 465, 753, 1219, 1973, 3193, 5167, 8361, ...
The first few Leonardo primes are
3, 5, 41, 67, 109, 1973, 5167, 2692537, 11405773, 126491971, 331160281, 535828591, 279167724889, 145446920496281, 28944668049352441, 5760134388741632239, 63880869269980199809, 167242286979696845953, 597222253637954133837103, ...
Modulo cycles
The Leonardo numbers form a cycle in any modulo n≥2. An easy way to see it is:
If a pair of numbers modulo n appears twice in the sequence, then there's a cycle.
If we assume the main statement is false, using the previous statement, then it would imply there's infinite distinct pairs of numbers between 0 and n-1, which is false since there are n2 such pairs.
The cycles for n≤8 are:
The cycle always end on the pair (1,n-1), as it's the only pair which can precede the pair (1,1).
Expressions
The following equation applies:
Relation to Fibonacci numbers
The Leonardo numbers are related to the Fibonacci numbers by the relation .
From this relation it is straightforward to derive a closed-form expression for the Leonardo numbers, analogous to Binet's formula for the Fibonacci numbers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration%20competency%20center | An integration competency center (ICC), sometimes referred to as an integration center of excellence (COE), is a shared service function providing methodical data integration, system integration, or enterprise application integration within organizations, particularly large corporations and public sector institutions.
Data integration allows companies to access their enterprise data and functions, fragmented across disparate systems, in order to create a combined, accurate, and consistent view of their core information as well as process assets and leverage them across the enterprise to drive business decisions and operations. System integration is the bringing together of component subsystems into one system and ensuring that they function together effectively. Enterprise application integration enables efficient information exchanges and business process automation across separate computer applications in a cohesive fashion.
Overview
The term may be better understood by examining each of the three words that comprise the acronym. Integration refers to the objective of the ICC to take a holistic perspective and optimize certain qualities such as cost efficiency, organizational agility and effectiveness, operational risk, customer (internal or external) experience, etc. across multiple functional groups. Competency refers to the expertise, knowledge or capability that the ICC offers as services. Center means that the service is managed or coordinated from a common (central) point independent from the functional areas that it supports.
Large organizations are usually sub-divided into functional areas such as marketing, sales, distribution, finance, human resources to name just a few. These functional groups have separate operations and are vertically integrated and are therefore sometimes referred to as "silos" or "stovepipes". From an organizational perspective, an ICC is a group of people with special skills, who are centrally coordinated, and offer services to accomplish a mission that requires separate functional areas to work together.
Key objectives of an ICC are:
Lead and support enterprise integration (data, system and process) projects with the cooperation/coordination of subject matter experts
Promote Enterprise integration as a formal discipline. For example, data integration will include data warehousing, data migration, data quality management, data integration for service oriented architecture deployments, and data synchronization. Similar system integration will include common messaging services, business service virtualization etc.
Develop staff specialists in integration processes and operations and leverage their expertise company-wide
Assess and select integration technology and tools from the marketplace
Manage integration pilots and projects across the organization
Optimize integration investments across the enterprise level
Leverage economies of scale for the integration tools portfolio at enterprise level

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimality%20criterion | In statistics, an optimality criterion provides a measure of the fit of the data to a given hypothesis, to aid in model selection. A model is designated as the "best" of the candidate models if it gives the best value of an objective function measuring the degree of satisfaction of the criterion used to evaluate the alternative hypotheses.
The term has been used to identify the different criteria that are used to evaluate a phylogenetic tree. For example, in order to determine the best topology between two phylogenetic trees using the maximum likelihood optimality criterion, one would calculate the maximum likelihood score of each tree and choose the one that had the better score. However, different optimality criteria can select different hypotheses. In such circumstances caution should be exercised when making strong conclusions.
Many other disciplines use similar criteria or have specific measures geared toward the objectives of the field. Optimality criteria include maximum likelihood, Bayesian, maximum parsimony, sum of squared residuals, least absolute deviations, and many others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KO-D%20Openweight%20Championship | The is a professional wrestling world openweight championship and the top singles accomplishment in the Japanese promotion CyberFight currently defended in the DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT) brand division. It is one of CyberFight's top major titles, alongside the GHC Heavyweight Championship in Pro Wrestling Noah. The title was established in 2000 and the inaugural champion was Masao Orihara.
History
Dramatic Dream Team (now DDT Pro-Wrestling) was founded in 1997. In 2000, DDT commissioner Exciting Yoshida created the promotion's first championship, briefly called DDT Openweight Championship, before the King of DDT (KO-D) was established as DDT's governing body and the title was officially named KO-D Openweight Championship.
The inaugural championship match was scheduled for a live event held at the Kitazawa Town Hall, on April 19. At the event, Masao Orihara defeated DDT founder Sanshiro Takagi in the final bout to become the inaugural champion.
On November 22, 2001, Nosawa was stripped of the title by Exciting Yoshida for "not being appropriate as a champion", which led to the first vacancy of the title.
In December 2005, DDT announced a new belt would be unveiled to replace the worn out original design. The new belt was put up for grab on December 28, at Never Mind, in a five-way ladder match in which Danshoku Dino defended the title against Sanshiro Takagi, Super Uchuu Power, Franceso Togo and Toru Owashi. Dino won the match and the new belt.
On December 22, 2010, the title was vacated for the second time when champion Dick Togo suffered an injury. Antonio Honda was scheduled to have a championship match against Togo at Never Mind, on December 26; he instead faced Gentaro to determine an interim champion. Honda defeated Gentaro and served as interim champion until the January 30 event Sweet Dreams!, where Togo faced Honda in a unification match, which Togo won.
On June 12, 2022, at CyberFight Festival 2022, champion Tetsuya Endo suffered a legitimate concussion when he was struck by Katsuhiko Nakajima. Two days later, DDT held a press conference ahead of the 2022 edition of the King of DDT tournament scheduled to start on June 16. It was announced that due to the injury, Endo would relinquish the title and forfeit his first round match, while the tournament would crown a new champion. On July 3, 2022, Kazusada Higuchi defeated Naomi Yoshimura in the final and consequently won the vacant title.
Belt design
The first KO-D Openweight Championship belt had five plates on a black leather strap. The rounded center plate featured a globe centered on the Greenwich meridian. Three banners above the globe read, from top to bottom, "Professional Wrestling", "D²T" and "Dramatic Dream Team". The lower banner at the bottom of the globe read "Wrestling Champion". Each side plate featured the name and flag of a country with a rich tradition in professional wrestling. From left to right, those countries were Mexico, the United States, Japan and Canada. Th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDNA | KDNA (91.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish Variety format including music (norteña, accordion, banda, and mariachi), children's programming, local and international news and a unique show each weekday morning highlighting employment opportunities in the Yakima area, all in Spanish. Licensed to Yakima, Washington, United States, the station serves the Yakima area. The station is currently owned by Northwest Communities Education Center, and has a studio in Granger, Washington.
History of Spanish-language radio
Latinos yearned for media representation and they sought out a radio license from the Federal Government in the early 1920s, however many popular show times were given to American/English radio stations. Most Latino/Spanish radio stations had to opt for purchasing less desirable show time hours such as early in the morning or very late into the evening. Many of the people working towards creating a better and stronger Spanish radio station did so because they wanted to rebuild a patriotic citizenry, that promoted literacy and sobriety that focused more on the folkloric and nationalist elements, for Mexicans not only in the United States but also in Mexico. Pedro J. Gonzalez along with his group Los Madrugadores (The Early Risers) were listened to by many agricultural workers, their music was an inspiration to many however they were also a direct opposing force towards the U.S. government and their efforts to deport Mexicans during the Great Depression. Pedro and his group helped pioneer the road for media representation of Latinos and they were a building block that allowed Spanish-language radio broker Raoul Cortez to be granted, in 1946, the first U.S. radio station to be licensed to a Latino.
History
Radio KDNA is the nation's first full-time Spanish-language non-commercial radio station, and the first Spanish-language public radio station in Washington state. Known as "la voz del campesino" (the voice of the farm worker) Radio KDNA is the first radio station in Eastern Washington to produce programming to the Spanish-speaking population of Eastern Washington.
KDNA was founded on December 19, 1979 by Ricardo García, Julio Cesar Guerrero, Rosa Ramon and Daniel Robleski in Granger, Washington. García met Robleski in Bellingham, Washington, and decided to unite Robleski and Guerrero and create the first radio station to broadcast all in Spanish in Washington State. They wanted to find a way to unite farm workers from different communities. Conversations about an all-Spanish radio broadcast for farmworkers started as early as 1974 when directors of social programs in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington meet but nothing concrete was done until García met Guerrero and Robleski.
During the first stages of KDNA, it was just a small entertainment program in Lynden, Washington, which was directed by Guerrero and Robleski. Some time later, they met Radio KRAB in Seattle and began to transmit their program through Radio KRAB's frequen |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association%20of%20Christians%20in%20the%20Mathematical%20Sciences | The Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences (ACMS) is an organization of professional mathematicians and computer scientists that share Christian beliefs. The organization's goal is to foster community among Christian mathematicians and to explore the interplay between faith and mathematics. The organization has an online journal and hosts a worship service and banquet at the Joint Mathematics Meeting. It also sponsors a biennial conference.
History
The ACMS began as an informal collection of mathematics educators interested in integrating their faith with their academic discipline. From 1976 to 1985, the group operated informally, holding its first conference in 1977. It was officially incorporated in 1985.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctivism | Disjunctivism is a position in the philosophy of perception that rejects the existence of sense data in certain cases. The disjunction is between appearance and the reality behind the appearance "making itself perceptually manifest to someone."
Veridical perceptions and hallucinations are not members of a common class of mental states or events. According to this theory, the only thing common to veridical perceptions and hallucinations is that in both cases, the subject cannot tell, via introspection, whether he is having a veridical perception or not. Disjunctivists claim this because they hold that in veridical perception, a subject's experience actually presents the external, mind-independent object of that perception. Further, they claim that in a hallucination there is no external object to be related to, nor are there sense-data to be a part of the perception. Most disjunctivists are also naive realists (also commonly known as direct realism), although John McDowell, a prominent disjunctivist, is not a naive realist.
Disjunctivism was first introduced to the contemporary literature by Michael Hinton, and has been most prominently associated with John McDowell. It has also been defended at length by Duncan Pritchard. Other prominent disjunctivists include Bill Brewer, Mike Martin, John Campbell and Naomi Eilan. Matthew Soteriou has also discussed disjunctivism extensively. Disjunctivists often hold that an important virtue of their view is that it captures the common sense idea that perception involves a relation to objects in the world.
Disjunctivism can be contrasted to the Triggered Hallucination Theory of perception, which holds that veridical perception and hallucination are the same thing, but differ only in aetiology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAtom | OpenAtom is a massively parallel quantum chemistry application written in Charm++ for simulations on supercomputers. Its developmental version was called LeanCP. Many important problems in material science, chemistry, solid-state physics, and biophysics require a modeling approach based on fundamental quantum mechanical principles. A particular approach that has proved to be relatively efficient and useful is Car-Parrinello ab initio molecular dynamics (CPAIMD). It is widely used to study systems consisting of hundreds to thousands of atoms. CPAIMD computations involve many interdependent phases with high communication overhead including multiple concurrent sparse 3D Fast Fourier Transforms (3D-FFTs), non-square matrix multiplies and few concurrent dense 3D-FFTs.
Parallelization of this approach beyond a few hundred processors is challenging, due to the complex dependencies among various subcomputations, which lead to complex communication optimization and load balancing problems. Using Charm++ and its concept of processor virtualization, the phases are discretized into multiple virtual processors which are, in turn, mapped flexibly onto physical processors, thereby allowing significant interleaving of work. Interleaving is enhanced through both architecturally independent methods and network topology aware mapping techniques. OpenAtom has shown good scaling up to 262,144 cores of IBM Blue Gene/Q and 131,072 cores of Blue Waters, a Cray XE6/XK7 system at NCSA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR-A | OCR-A is a font issued in 1966 and first implemented in 1968. A special font was needed in the early days of computer optical character recognition, when there was a need for a font that could be recognized not only by the computers of that day, but also by humans. OCR-A uses simple, thick strokes to form recognizable characters.
The font is monospaced (fixed-width), with the printer required to place glyphs cm ( inch) apart, and the reader required to accept any spacing between cm ( inch) and cm ( inch).
Standardization
The OCR-A font was standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
as ANSI X3.17-1981. X3.4 has since become the INCITS and the OCR-A standard is now called ISO 1073-1:1976.
Implementations
In 1968, American Type Founders produced OCR-A, one of the first optical character recognition typefaces to meet the criteria set by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. The design is simple so that it can be easily read by a machine, but it is more difficult for the human eye to read.
As metal type gave way to computer-based typesetting, Tor Lillqvist used Metafont to describe the OCR-A font. That definition was subsequently improved by Richard B. Wales. Their work is available from CTAN.
To make the free version of the font more accessible to users of Microsoft Windows, John Sauter converted the Metafont definitions to TrueType using potrace and FontForge in 2004. In 2007, Gürkan Sengün created a Debian package from this implementation. In 2008. Luc Devroye corrected the vertical positioning in John Sauter's implementation, and fixed the name of lower case z.
Independently, Matthew Skala used mftrace to convert the Metafont definitions to TrueType format in 2006. In 2011 he released a new version created by rewriting the Metafont definitions to work with METATYPE1, generating outlines directly without an intermediate tracing step. On September 27, 2012, he updated his implementation to version 0.2.
In addition to these free implementations of OCR-A, there are also implementations sold by several vendors. As a joke, Tobias Frere-Jones in 1995 created Estupido-Espezial, a redesign with swashes and a long s. It was used in a "technology"-themed section of Rolling Stone.
Maxitype designed the OCR-X typeface, based on the OCR-A typeface, with OpenType features, alien and technology-themed dingbats, and available in 6 weights (Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black).
Use
Although optical character recognition technology has advanced to the point where such simple fonts are no longer necessary, the OCR-A font has remained in use. Its usage remains widespread in the encoding of checks around the world. Some lock box companies still insist that the account number and amount owed on a bill return form be printed in OCR-A. Also, because of its unusual look, it is sometimes used in advertising and display graphics.
Notably, it is used for the subtitles in films and television series such as Blacklist and for the main ti |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloob | Cloob.com was a Persian-language social networking website, mainly popular in Iran. After the locally (and internationally) popular social networking website Orkut was blocked by the Iranian government, a series of local sites and networks, including Cloob, emerged to fill the gap. Its main page contains the title Iranian Virtual Society and states that all content is controlled in accordance with Iranian law, a policy intended to lower the risk of government censorship.
The website claims to have around 1 million members and over 100 million page views per month. Users have access to features like: internal email (for individual friends, groups of friends and community members), communities and community discussions (clubs), personal and community photo albums, article archive for communities, live messaging and chat rooms for communities, weblog, job and resume database, virtual money (called "coroob"), income/expense book keeping for individual members, online shops for offering goods and services, classifieds, questions and answers, link and content sharing, news, member updates and extensive permission setting capabilities.
Some of the services consume virtual money. For example, advanced search in community discussions, advanced member search, receipt for email messages, list of profile visitors and a few other services will use different amounts of members' available virtual money. It is possible to buy virtual money or transfer it to other users.
Cloob was censored on March 7, 2008 (the period of Parliament elections) by the government of Iran. However, after what the Cloob management called "removal of illegal and controversial content", access was restored to Iranian internet users on April 29, 2008. On December 25, 2009 it was once again censored and remained so for some time, but as of 2011, Cloob appears to be in working order once again.
In 2021, Cloob shut down citing they were worn out having to fight censorship and the government letting foreign companies such as instagram take over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuaTeX | LuaTeX is a TeX-based computer typesetting system which started as a version of pdfTeX with a Lua scripting engine embedded. After some experiments it was adopted by the TeX Live distribution as a successor to pdfTeX (itself an extension of ε-TeX, which generates PDFs). Later in the project some functionality of Aleph was included (esp. multi-directional typesetting). The project was originally sponsored by the Oriental TeX project, founded by Idris Samawi Hamid, Hans Hagen, and Taco Hoekwater.
Objective of the project
The main objective of the project is to provide a version of TeX where all internals are accessible from Lua. In the process of opening up TeX much of the internal code is rewritten. Instead of hard coding new features in TeX itself, users (or macro package writers) can write their own extensions.
LuaTeX offers support for OpenType fonts with external modules. One of them, written in Lua, is provided by the LuaTeX team, but support for complex scripts is limited. LuaTeX includes the HarfBuzz engine for correct rendering of complex scripts using OpenType.
An alternate approach can be found on GitHub.
A related project is MPLib (an extended MetaPost library module), which brings a graphics engine into TeX.
The LuaTeX team consists of Luigi Scarso, Taco Hoekwater, Hartmut Henkel and Hans Hagen.
Versions
The first public beta was launched at TUG 2007 in San Diego. The first formal release was planned for the end of 2009, and the first stable production version was released in 2010. Version 1.00 was released in September 2016 during ConTeXt 2016. Version 1.12 was released for TeXLive 2020.
, both ConTeXt mark IV and LaTeX with extra packages (e.g. luaotfload, luamplib, luatexbase, luatextra) make use of new LuaTeX features. (When LuaTeX is used with the LaTeX format, it is sometimes called "LuaLaTeX".) Both are supported in TeX Live 2010 with LuaTeX 0.60, and in LyX. Special support in plain TeX is still under development.
Further development takes place as LuaMetaTeX in connection with the ConTeXt project.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%20Dakota | Project Dakota was an alternative to Microsoft's Windows Update developed by Alek Patsouris & Christopher "doc" Harris to update a Windows XP system from a CD, USB drive or network drive, without the need to use the Windows Update website.
Distribution of the program started on 1 January 2008 at 12:00AM. As of November 2012 the project website states that the project has been retired completely.
Purpose
Project Dakota was designed for:
Users that format their hard disks or reinstall Windows frequently.
System builders / Network Administrators seeking to quickly install all updates to multiple Windows PCs.
Security conscious users who do not wish to expose their computer to the internet.
Users with a slow connection to the Internet who want to avoid slow download times by using a faster connection on another computer to download Project Dakota, and burn it to a CD, DVD or USB flash drive.
Users with a small Internet usage cap who don't want to use it all on updates.
Users who want a faster way to update Windows without having to connect to the Internet to download updates
Media
Project Dakota is able to run from removable media such as CDs, DVDs and USB flash drives as well as being able to run from a Network (mapped drive) or local hard disk.
Background Information
Project Dakota came about from seeing the need for a better method to update multiple school computers at once, and to keep track of the status of all computers. Project Dakota achieved this by creating text files that were uploaded to the schools server according to their hostname.
When the project was adapted for general use, the project still generated the text file, but uploaded it to an FTP server with details about the hardware and what updates were installed. Many users assumed Project Dakota was obtaining their Windows Product key, but this was not the case.
The Project was inspired by the song Dakota by the Stereophonics.
