Career
Honma had his first mixed martial arts fight on May 12, 1990, competing for the Shooto organisation in Japan. Honma compiled a record 3-3-2 in Shooto, including a victory over Manabu Yamada. He lost to Rene Rooze in his K-1 debut in 1995. On October 11, 1998, Honma made his Pride FC debut at Pride 4. Honma beat Naoki Sano by TKO. On June 6, 1999, Honma beat Wayne Turner in a kickboxing match at K-1 Survival '99. Honma would go on to lose at Pride 5 to Francisco Bueno by TKO. On April 14, 2000, Honma lost to Ron Waterman by decision at UFC 25. His final career fight was on July 4, 2004 against Ken Orihashi; the fight ended in a draw.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex86 | The Vortex86 is a computing system-on-a-chip (SoC) based on a core compatible with the x86 microprocessor family. It is produced by DM&P Electronics, but originated with Rise Technology.
History
Vortex86 previously belonged to SiS, which got the basic design from Rise Technology. SiS sold it to DM&P Electronics in Taiwan.
Before adopting the Vortex86 series, DM&P manufactured the M6117D, an Intel 386SX compatible, 25–40 MHz SoC.
CPU
Vortex86 CPUs implement the IA-32 architecture but which instructions are implemented varies depending on the model. Vortex86SX and the early versions of Vortex86 do not have a floating point unit (FPU). Any code that runs on i586 but does not use floating point instructions will run on these models. Any i586 code will run on Vortex86DX and later. Some Linux kernels (by build-time option) emulate the FPU on any CPU that is missing one, so a program that uses i586-level floating point instructions will work on any Vortex86 family CPU under such a kernel, albeit more slowly on a model with no FPU. The more advanced models have FPUs that have i686-level instructions, such as FUCOMI.
Code intended for i686 may fail on some models because they lack a Conditional Move (CMOV) instruction. Compilers asked to optimize code for a more advanced CPU (for example the GNU Compiler with its -march=i686 option) generate code that uses CMOV. Linux systems intended to run on i686 are generally not compatible with these Vortex86 models because the GNU C Library, when built for i686, uses a CMOV instruction in its assembly language strcmp function, which its dynamic loader (ld.so) uses. Hence, no program that uses shared libraries can execute.
Below are the properties of a Vortex86 original CPU reported by the Linux kernel tool /proc/cpuinfo.
Note that this CPU is a later version with an FPU.

Software Compatibility
DM&P maintained an embedded Linux distribution customized to use the SoCs features. Other operating systems may work depending on the SoC model, including various RTOS systems such as QNX and VxWorks, Linux distributions, FreeBSD or various versions of Microsoft Windows systems such as Windows Embedded Compact or Windows IoT.
The ability to identify Vortex86 processors was added to Linux 5.16, released in January 2022.
Versions
Vortex86 original
The Vortex86 (M6127D) is a rebadged SiS 551 system-on-chip (SoC). The CPU core is derived from the Rise mP6, which has three integer and MMX pipelines and branch prediction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFA%20minimization | In automata theory (a branch of theoretical computer science), DFA minimization is the task of transforming a given deterministic finite automaton (DFA) into an equivalent DFA that has a minimum number of states. Here, two DFAs are called equivalent if they recognize the same regular language. Several different algorithms accomplishing this task are known and described in standard textbooks on automata theory.
Minimal DFA
For each regular language, there also exists a minimal automaton that accepts it, that is, a DFA with a minimum number of states and this DFA is unique (except that states can be given different names). The minimal DFA ensures minimal computational cost for tasks such as pattern matching.
There are three classes of states that can be removed or merged from the original DFA without affecting the language it accepts.
Unreachable states are the states that are not reachable from the initial state of the DFA, for any input string. These states can be removed.
Dead states are the states from which no final state is reachable. These states can be removed unless the automaton is required to be complete.
Nondistinguishable states are those that cannot be distinguished from one another for any input string. These states can be merged.
DFA minimization is usually done in three steps:
remove dead and unreachable states (this will accelerate the following step),
merge nondistinguishable states,
optionally, re-create a single dead state ("sink" state) if the resulting DFA is required to be complete.
Unreachable states
The state of a deterministic finite automaton is unreachable if no string in exists for which . In this definition, is the set of states, is the set of input symbols, is the transition function (mapping a state and an input symbol to a set of states), is its extension to strings (also known as extended transition function), is the initial state, and is the set of accepting (also known as final) states. Reachable states can be obtained with the following algorithm:
let reachable_states := {q0}
let new_states := {q0}
do {
temp := the empty set
for each q in new_states do
for each c in Σ do
temp := temp ∪ {p such that p = δ(q,c)}
new_states := temp \ reachable_states
reachable_states := reachable_states ∪ new_states
} while (new_states ≠ the empty set)
unreachable_states := Q \ reachable_states
Assuming an efficient implementation of the state sets (e.g. new_states) and operations on them (such as adding a state or checking whether it is present), this algorithm can be implemented with time complexity , where is the number of states and is the number of transitions of the input automaton.
Unreachable states can be removed from the DFA without affecting the language that it accepts.
Nondistinguishable states
The following algorithms present various approaches to merging nondistinguishable states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfoMania | InfoMania (stylized as infoMania) is an American half-hour weekly satirical news-show that aired on the Current TV television network from 2007 to 2011. The program was initially hosted by Conor Knighton and later Brett Erlich, with features by Ben Hoffman, Sergio Cilli, Sarah Haskins, Bryan Safi, Erin Gibson, and Ellen Fox.
History
The program's executive producer was David Nickoll. Its original executive producer was The Daily Show's co-creator Madeleine Smithberg. For the majority of the show's life, the EP was Jeffrey Plunkett.
Stylistically similar to The Daily Show, InfoMania put a comedic spin on various pieces of popular culture in the United States, including outrageous news stories, video games, viral videos, as well as movies and music.
Prior to being produced in a full half-hour format, the show aired in short 3-5 minute installments, usually at the top of the hour. Before July 2007, the show rotated between names of Google Current and Current Buzz and was a part of Current TV's original programming when the network went on air in August 2005.
In September 2010, InfoMania began receiving a noticeable amount of negative feedback from their fanbase via Facebook and Current TV's website. This first came about following the removal of the ability to watch full episodes of the show on their website, as well as the addition of a live audience to the show. Current TV eliminated the audience from the show in response to these complaints, but they still refuse to post full episodes to the Internet.
On January 12, 2011 Conor Knighton announced his departure on the Current TV website. Brett Erlich became the new host with a new set, but kept the same correspondents returning January 20, 2011.
On July 1, 2011, Brett Erlich announced the July 15th episode would be the final episode of InfoMania.
The show aired Thursday at 11 pm ET/8 pm PT on Current TV before switching to Friday nights during its final month of production. Various segments can be viewed online at various social networking websites such as Hulu.
InfoMania was produced on the same lot as Mad Men in Hollywood, California.
Correspondents
Sergio Cilli featured segments "White Hot Top 5" and "Music Intervention"
Ben Hoffman featured segments "InfoMania Editorial," "InfoMania Tech Report," "Kids Kouch!," and "Craigslist Interviews"
Bryan Safi featured segment "That's Gay"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn%20Sayyar%20al-Warraq | () was an Arab author from Baghdad. He was the compiler of a tenth-century cookbook, the (, The Book of Dishes). This is the earliest known Arabic cookbook. It contains over 600 recipes, divided into 132 chapters.
The is the oldest surviving Arabic cookbook, written by al-Warraq in the 10th century. It is compiled from the recipes of the 8th and 9th century courts of the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad. Some scholars speculate that al-Warraq may have prepared the manuscript on behalf of a patron, the Hamdanid prince Sayf al-Dawla, who sought to improve the cultural prestige of his own court in Aleppo as the court in Baghdad had started to decline.
Some recipes in the book, like (date-sweetened porridge), come from the relatively simple cuisine of the Arabian peninsula, but the book also contains recipes for fancy stews with Persian names. There is also an entire chapter about , hearty stews of 'Nabataean' (Iraqi) origin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOADHIGH | In computing, (abbreviated ) is an internal DOS command in COMMAND.COM that is used to load a program into the upper memory area (UMA) instead of conventional memory.
The command was introduced with MS-DOS 5.0 / PC DOS 5.0 in 1991, copying the built-in command earlier introduced with DR DOS 5.0 in 1990. DR DOS 6.0 added support for this naming variant as well in 1991.
Overview
Due to design of the IBM PC, DOS suffered from what was known as the 640 KB barrier. The size of this memory area, known as conventional memory, was fixed and independent of the amount of system memory actually installed. Various schemes were developed to support extra memory (see also EMS, XMS) and DOS extenders, but conventional memory was still an issue due to compatibility issues. It was a scarce resource as many applications demanded a large part of this basic memory fragment at runtime. Therefore, it was often necessary to move high some TSR programs like the mouse driver or the disk caching driver (like SMARTDRV) prior to running a memory-hungry application. This was achieved by using called with the program's name as the parameter.
To load TSRs high within CONFIG.SYS, the INSTALLHIGH directive must be used instead of the command. The equivalent of for device drivers is DEVICEHIGH (usable only within CONFIG.SYS).
These are also supported since DR DOS 6.0. DR DOS 5.0 and higher also support HIINSTALL and HIDEVICE, respectively.
Most modern operating systems now run in protected mode with support for an unsegmented (flat) memory model and do not have a 640 KB constraint. and other methods of freeing conventional memory have largely become obsolete.
is part of the Windows XP MS-DOS subsystem to maintain MS-DOS and MS OS/2 version 1.x syntax compatibility only. It is not available at all on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition and also no longer available in the command interpreter of newer Windows operating systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataupia | Dataupia was a supplier of data warehouse appliances. Dataupia focuses on data warehousing for applications running on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server databases. Dataupia's Satori Server included server computers, storage, and software.
History
Dataupia was founded in 2005 by Foster D. Hinshaw for analytics in "big data" applications such as for telecom and auto-reporting for the Internet of things.
A classic definition of the data warehouse focuses on data storage. However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract, transform and load data, and to manage the dictionary data are also considered essential components of a data warehouse appliance system. The Dataupia Satori Server provided all aspects of the data warehouse appliance in a single product.
The company has headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Binghamton, United Kingdom. The company was privately held.
Dataupia's name is a portmanteau of the words "data", in reference to the data warehousing industry, and "utopia". The combination of words is used by the company to imply ideal access to data.
The Dataupia flagship product, Satori Server, is a network-attached data warehouse appliance announced in 2007. As an appliance, it includes an embedded copy of Linux, a database engine, an aggregation engine, built-in storage, and parallel processors. In contrast to other custom-assembly data warehouse appliances, the Satori Server worked with existing database management systems, rather than requiring them to be replaced. In theory, this would appeal to customers with a huge investment in databases and data warehouse and business intelligence applications.
Competitors included Teradata and IBM (which acquired Netezza in 2010).
In January 2009 Hinshaw temporarily left due to health problems, and Tony Sirianni became chief executive through November.
During the Great Recession, the company reduced its staff and by August 2009 was seeking a buyer for its assets.
By 2017, the company had not issued a press release since the 4.0 version of the product was announced in February 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Gustafson%20%28scientist%29 | John Leroy Gustafson (born January 19, 1955) is an American computer scientist and businessman, chiefly known for his work in high-performance computing (HPC) such as the invention of Gustafson's law, introducing the first commercial computer cluster, measuring with QUIPS, leading the reconstruction of the Atanasoff–Berry computer, inventing the unum number format and computation system, and several awards for computer speedup. Currently he is the Chief Technology Officer at Ceranovo, Inc. He was the Chief Graphics Product Architect and Senior Fellow at AMD from September 2012 until June 2013, and he previously held the positions of Architect of Intel Labs-SC, CEO of Massively Parallel Technologies, Inc. and CTO at ClearSpeed Technology. Gustafson holds applied mathematics degrees from the California Institute of Technology and Iowa State University.
Childhood and education
Gustafson was raised in Des Moines, Iowa. After completing a degree in Applied Mathematics at California Institute of Technology in 1977 he moved to Ames, Iowa and completed his M.S. (1981) and Ph.D. (1982) at Iowa State University.
His mother was an electronics technician at Collins Radio and his father was a chemical engineer turned MD, both as a result of World War II. His parents encouraged his scientific explorations at a young age. Assembling radio transmitters, designing and executing chemistry experiments, and making holograms are some of his favorite childhood explorations.
Unums
Gustafson has devised a new format for storing real numbers in computers use a variable number of bits depending on the number of digits required, called unum number format. Normal formats store numbers as a fixed number of bits, for example 64 bits is usual for double-precision floating-point format numbers. This can allow them to be smaller than doubles for fast processing and also more precise or larger than the limits for double when desirable.
Awards and honors
In 1988, Gustafson was the recipient of the inaugural Gordon Bell Prize. He has received other awards for his work in HPC, including the International Atanasoff Award (2006). He was awarded the IEEE Computer Society Golden Core Award in 2007.
Other awards and honors include:
2000 Iowa State University Inventor of the Year Award
1998 Distinguished Visiting Professor, New Mexico State University
1997 PDPTA Outstanding Achievement Award
1995 R&D 100 Award
1991 R&D 100 Award

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMDF | XMDF (eXtensible Model Data Format) is a library providing a standard format for the geometric data storage of river cross-sections, 2D/3D structured and unstructured meshes, geometric paths through space, and associated time data. XMDF uses HDF5 for cross-platform data storage and compression. It was initiated in Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and is developed by Aquaveo (formerly the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) at Brigham Young University).
API includes interfaces for C/C++ and Fortran.
An overview of the format was published by the ERDC in 2007. More recent documentation is available online at https://www.xmswiki.com/wiki/XMDF. A binary format was chosen for the data in order to improve performance and data storage as compared with more traditional ASCII grids. The group considered both the NetCDF and HDF5 data formats, and chose HDF5 because it has more flexibility for data storage, compression and data mining. It also supports data folders and data structures, making it more customizable.
The modeling format is used by hydrologic modeling software such as TUFLOW, SMS, GMS, and WMS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDMF | XDMF (eXtensible Data Model and Format) provides a standard way to access data produced by HPC codes. Data format refers to the raw data to be manipulated, the description of the data is separate from the values themselves. It distinguishes the metadata (Light data) and the values themselves (Heavy data). Light data is stored using XML, Heavy data is stored using HDF5, so some information is stored redundantly in both XML and HDF5. APIs to read and write XDMF exists for multiple programing languages.

Legend
New series are highlighted in bold.
Schedule
All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
In 1995, a majority of stations that were affiliated with ABC, CBS, NBC, or were independents, had switched affiliations to Fox, with the 3 networks, or became independents, thus altering the network daytime schedule in several markets due to contractual obligations involving syndication programs or scheduling conflicts. However, some that switched affiliations did follow the schedule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HURDAT | The Hurricane Databases (HURDAT), managed by the National Hurricane Center, are two separate databases that contain details on tropical cyclones, that have occurred within the Atlantic Ocean and Eastern Pacific Ocean since 1851 and 1949 respectively.
The Eastern Pacific database was originally compiled at the NHC during 1976, to help with the initialization with two tropical cyclone forecast models. Initially tracks for the Central Pacific region and tracks for tropical depressions, that did not develop into tropical storms or hurricanes were not included within the database. Over the next few years tracks were archived best track data from the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center (EPHC) were archived by the NHC on an annual basis. During 1982 the NHC started to include data on Central Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes within the database, before they took over the responsibility for issuing advisories during 1988. The format of the Eastern Pacific database was subsequently significantly changed during 2013 to include non-synoptic best track times and non-developing tropical depressions.
The Atlantic hurricane database
During 1959, a technical paper was published by the United States Weather Bureau, which consolidated several sources of records in to a single publication. These sources included annual summaries that had been published in the Monthly Weather Review at various times since 1922, unpublished materials from the Hurricane forecast offices and other studies on hurricanes and hurricane climatology back to around 1886. While combining the sources, position errors of over were found for several hurricanes shown in more than one source. Therefore, the positions of all of the systems that were considered to have tropical characteristics, were compared with the historical weather maps of the daily synoptic series. The most reliable positions and intensities were then plotted on a series of annual track charts, before being reviewed by the hurricane forecast centres, Extended Forecast Section and the National Hurricane Research Project. The most accurate and consistent locations from the reviews were then plotted on the maps and published. This dataset was subsequently updated during 1965, which extended the dataset back to 1871 and forwards to 1963 based on additional material.
At around this time, NASA's Apollo space programme requested data, on the climatological impacts of tropical cyclones on launches of space vehicles at the Kennedy Space Center. The basic data was taken by the authors from the National Weather Records North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone deck number 988, which was updated and corrected to include data from 1886 to 1968. As a result of this work, a requirement for a computerized tropical cyclone database at the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) was realised, which led to the prediction of tropical cyclone motion out through 72 hours. Over the next few years, HURDAT was extensively revised, by both the NHC and the National |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five%20Children%20and%20It%20%28film%29 | Five Children and It is a 2004 family fantasy-comedy-drama adventure film adaptation of the 1902 novel Five Children and It, which features live action and computer animation. It was directed by John Stephenson, produced by Nick Hirschkorn, Lisa Henson and Samuel Hadida, written by E. Nesbit and David Solomons with music by Jane Antonia Cornish and starring Tara FitzGerald, Freddie Highmore, Alex Jennings, Jonathan Bailey, Jessica Claridge, Poppy Rogers, Alec Muggleton, Zak Muggleton, Zoë Wanamaker, Kenneth Branagh, Alexander Pownall, Robert Tygner, Eddie Izzard as the voice of It-Psammead, Georgio Serafini, John Sessions, Kim Fenton, Norman Wisdom and Duncan Preston and Zak.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 11 September 2004 and was theatrically released on 15 October 2004. The digital puppetry and CGI animation for Psammead was created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Five Children and It grossed £1,519,049 worldwide. The film was released on DVD on 5 July 2005.
Plot
The film begins with five children (Robert, Cyril, Jane, Anthea and The Lamb), whose father has gone to fight in World War I. Consequently, the children must meanwhile stay at their eccentric uncle's house with his housekeeper Martha, and unpleasant son, Horace. While exploring the house, Robert finds a locked door in the forbidden greenhouse and brings the other children. They manage to open the door, which leads them through a secret path to the beach surrounding the house. There they discover a large shelled creature, which reveals itself as a "psammead crustacean decapodlium wishasaurus," or sand fairy for short. The children, befuddled by this confusing name, refer to the creature simply as "It." It seems rather mischievous and Cyril doubts whether the children should trust him, but upon confirming that It can grant wishes, the children wish for all the house chores on their list to be done by magic. When they return to the house, they see dozens of copies of themselves doing the chores and wrecking the house in the attempt.
Suddenly, everything disappears in clouds of golden dust. They are then forced to tidy up the mess themselves. When they return to It and ask why their clones disappeared, It explains that at sunset, all wishes fade away. The children blame It for the mess, but It responds by saying that wishes bring valuable lessons.
The children need money to fix all the broken items, so they wish for buckets of gold and go off into town to buy some items. The children aren't able to buy anything because the owners will not accept gold, believing it is fake. They manage to purchase a car, having nothing else to do with the gold, and end up crashing it during a test drive. Mr. Peasemarsh, the owner, becomes furious and causes a scene with the children as the authorities and their aunt both appear on the scene. When Mr. Peasemarsh tries to reveal the children's "stolen gold", it vanishes just before he can show it to the officers, who take |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paths%20to%20Freedom | Paths to Freedom was a popular comedy on the Irish television network RTÉ Two. The shows stars two characters, Jeremy (Brendan Coyle) and Rats (Michael McElhatton), who have both recently been released from a Dublin prison. The show takes the format of a mockumentary, with a fly-on-the-wall camera crew following the two characters, who are from thoroughly different backgrounds, as they try to reintegrate back into society. There were six episodes of the show produced, the first airing on 13 November 2000, and the final episode airing one month later. The series was followed-up by a movie based on the character Rats, Spin the Bottle.
Characters
Jeremy
Dr. Jeremy Fitzgerald, played by Brendan Coyle, was a distinguished gynaecologist, living in the affluent Dublin suburb of Blackrock, before being convicted of dangerous driving causing injury. He was sentenced to a custodial sentence and sent to a Dublin prison. After his release, with his license to practice medicine lost, Jeremy pursues the release of his controversial book, 'Women inside Out'. However, he struggles to find a publisher given his recent legal troubles, and this eventually leads to a breakdown. During the series, Jeremy displays his love towards a wealthy style of life, driving a new Mercedes-Benz, playing golf at his local club 'The Fitzhatton', and repeatedly describing his admiration of Michael Flatley. This is demonstrated at one point in the series when Jeremy is questioned by the camera crew as to what affect prison has had on him, and he responds that it caused him to lose his 'no-claims bonus' and raise his golf handicap by six strokes. The legal costs of defending himself in the case brought by the Ukrainian man that he hit while drink driving are large, and this causes the Fitzgeralds to sell their home in Blackrock to raise funds. Repeatedly, Jeremy disputes the man's claim that he is paralysed, and at one point Jeremy attacks the man in attempt to prove he is lying. At this stage in the series, Jeremy is seriously mentally ill, and he soon takes up home in a tent on the 7th green at the Fitzhatton. The series ends with Jeremy, now separated from his wife Helen (Deirdre O'Kane), in full-time psychiatric care .
Rats
Raymond "Rats" Doyle, played by Michael McElhatton is a character that has been in and out of trouble throughout his life. In the series, he also has just been released from prison, having been convicted of burglary. Rats struggles to find a job, with his problems compounded by the fact that his wife Sharon, along with his two children Tarquin and Snoopies, has left him. Rats has several jobs in the course of the series including security, working in a fast-food restaurant and busking. While busking, Rats performs the poetry that he writes in his spare time, and though it is crude and childish, he sees it as a serious expression of his feelings and beliefs. The uncensored and brash nature of the poetry attracts the attention of the Garda Síochána, and lands |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-occurrence%20network | Co-occurrence network, sometimes referred to as a semantic network, is a method to analyze text that includes a graphic visualization of potential relationships between people, organizations, concepts, biological organisms like bacteria or other entities represented within written material. The generation and visualization of co-occurrence networks has become practical with the advent of electronically stored text compliant to text mining.
By way of definition, co-occurrence networks are the collective interconnection of terms based on their paired presence within a specified unit of text. Networks are generated by connecting pairs of terms using a set of criteria defining co-occurrence. For example, terms A and B may be said to “co-occur” if they both appear in a particular article. Another article may contain terms B and C. Linking A to B and B to C creates a co-occurrence network of these three terms. Rules to define co-occurrence within a text corpus can be set according to desired criteria. For example, a more stringent criteria for co-occurrence may require a pair of terms to appear in the same sentence. Co-occurrence networks were found to be particularly useful to analyze large text and big data, when identifying the main themes and topics (such as in a large number of social media posts), revealing biases in the text (such as biases in news coverage), or even mapping an entire research field.
Methods and development
The process of constructing co-occurrence networks includes identifying keywords in the text, calculating the frequencies of co-occurrences, and analyzing the networks to find central words and clusters of themes in the network.
Co-occurrence networks can be created for any given list of terms (any dictionary) in relation to any collection of texts (any text corpus). Co-occurring pairs of terms can be called “neighbors” and these often group into “neighborhoods” based on their interconnections. Individual terms may have several neighbors. Neighborhoods may connect to one another through at least one individual term or may remain unconnected.
Individual terms are, within the context of text mining, symbolically represented as text strings. In the real world, the entity identified by a term normally has several symbolic representations. It is therefore useful to consider terms as being represented by one primary symbol and up to several synonymous alternative symbols. Occurrence of an individual term is established by searching for each known symbolic representations of the term. The process can be augmented through NLP (natural language processing) algorithms that interrogate segments of text for possible alternatives such as word order, spacing and hyphenation. NLP can also be used to identify sentence structure and categorize text strings according to grammar (for example, categorizing a string of text as a noun based on a preceding string of text known to be an article).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon%20Software | Panopticon Software (now part of Altair Data Analytics) was a multi-national data visualization software company specializing in monitoring and analysis of real-time data. The firm was headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. It partnered with software companies, including SAP, Thomson Reuters, Kx Systems, and One Market Data (OneTick). The company's name is derived from the Greek: 'pan' for all, 'optic' for sight. The company name is derived from the word panopticon which is an architectural concept originally intended to facilitate surveillance of prisons.
In December 2018, Panopticon was acquired by Altair Engineering as part of its acquisition of Datawatch Corporation.
Panopticon Software was a key player in the data visualization sector along with for example Qliktech, Tableau Software and Tibco Software. Its Swedish origins are shared with GapMinder, Qliktech and Spotfire, making Sweden a centre for Information Visualization research and development.
Panopticon products are optimized for use with real-time data message buses, complex event processing engines, relational databases, and column-oriented databases and is widely used to support electronic trading operations within global banks, asset managers, and exchanges. Panopticon tools are also often embedded in other enterprise applications using the company's software development kit.
History
The company was founded in 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the emerging markets brokerage Brunswick Direct before being spun off as a separate entity in 2002. It later was acquired by the UK based Hamsard Group (Hamsard is now known as Cantono Plc), and became a subsidiary of the Group. In March 2007 its competitor Spotfire undertook negotiations with Hamsard Group, to take full ownership of Panopticon. This potential deal was not completed, Spotfire pulling out of negotiations, and itself subsequently being purchased by Tibco. In May 2007 the company was sold back to its founders as part of a management buyout.
In May 2012, the company announced that QlikTech had partnered with Panopticon to enable QlikTech clients to embed Panopticon data visualizations into their QlikView dashboards. Panopticon supports QlikView desktop, web, and mobile interactive dashboards and allows users to filter and interact directly with real-time data.
In June 2012, the company announced that SAP was utilizing its Panopticon data visualization tools as the front end for real-time deployments of the SAP HANA in-memory appliance.
In April 2013, Panopticon was selected for inclusion in UBM Tech Channel's CRN 2013 Big Data 100 list. The Big Data 100 recognizes innovative technology vendors that help businesses manage "Big Data"—the rapidly increasing volume, variety and velocity of information being generated today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20route%20E313 | The European route E 313 is a road in Europe and a part of the United Nations International E-road network. Approximately long, it connects the Belgian port city of Antwerp to Liège, the commercial and industrial centre of Wallonia. It runs thus entirely within Belgium: however, it does cross the language frontier within Belgium between the Dutch speaking Flanders and the French speaking Wallonia which affects the roadside route signs and safety-message posters. From the junction at Ranst where it splits from the E 34, it follows the Belgian A13.
It also serves the same industrial belt as the Albert Canal, the route of which generally runs close to the E 313. For much of the western end of the road the width of the strip of land between the road and the waterway is too narrow for residential use, and the land has instead been put to good use for industrial developments, notably in the area of Herentals. The other major city served by the E 313 is Hasselt, the capital of the Belgian province of Limburg.
Characterised at the end of the 20th century by its poor surface, much of the road was renovated at the start of the 21st century. The E 313 is an autoroute quality road, though east of the split with the E 34 it still has only two lanes in each direction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource%20Description%20and%20Access | Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a standard for descriptive cataloging initially released in June 2010, providing instructions and guidelines on formulating bibliographic data. Intended for use by libraries and other cultural organizations such as museums and archives, RDA is the successor to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2).
Background
RDA emerged from the International Conference on the Principles & Future Development of AACR held in Toronto in 1997. It is published jointly by the American Library Association, the Canadian Federation of Library Associations, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) in the United Kingdom. Maintenance of RDA is the responsibility of the RDA Steering Committee (RSC). As of 2015, RSC is undergoing a transition to an international governance structure, expected to be in place in 2019.
RDA instructions and guidelines are available through RDA Toolkit, an online subscription service, and in a print format.
RDA training materials and texts are available online and in print.
Features
RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focused linked data applications. The underlying conceptual models for RDA are the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), and Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD) maintained by IFLA, and will be compliant with the Library Reference Model, the IFLA standard that consolidates them.
RDA Vocabularies
RDA Vocabularies is a representation of the RDA entities, elements, relationship designators, and controlled terms in RDF (Resource Description Framework).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Scientology%20organizations | The worldwide network of Church of Scientology organizations consists of numerous entities and corporations, located in the United States as well as in other countries. All these organizations are interrelated and connected through an internal hierarchy called the "Command Channels of Scientology". At the top are Religious Technology Center, Church of Spiritual Technology, and Church of Scientology International, who own and license the Scientology trademarks and service marks to the other organizations within the network. These management organizations are staffed solely by Sea Org personnel.
Within the upper Church management echelon are several corporations with specific functions of publication, distribution, administration, and finances. Examples are the Scientology-owned publishing house Bridge Publications, and World Institute of Scientology Enterprises which promotes and sells Scientology "secular" services to businesses and entrepreneurs.
Below the Scientology management levels are Scientology service organizations ("Churches"), which deliver Scientology services to its members, and so-called secular organizations which seek to introduce L. Ron Hubbard's "Scientology Technology" into various sectors of society such as Citizens Commission on Human Rights, an organization that seeks to abolish any form of psychiatry. Below these levels are volunteer organizations run by Scientologists such as local chapters of The Way to Happiness campaign, and Clear Expansion Committees which have as their goal the clearing of their local communities and helping to establish a Scientology world.
In a response to questions by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with regards to its application for tax exempt status, the Church of Scientology International provided to the IRS a list of Scientology corporations and entities, categorized by their functions and activities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20route%20E314 | The European route E 314 is a road in Europe and a part of the United Nations International E-road network. Approximately long, it connects the Belgian university city of Leuven with Aachen, Charlemagne's capital during the early ninth century, and today a bustling commercial centre in Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia.
Three Nations
For most of its length the E 314 is in Belgium where it tracks the A2. It then crosses briefly into Dutch Limburg, the most southerly province of The Netherlands before an even briefer stretch between the Dutch-German frontier and Aachen: the German section tracks the start of the Autobahn A 4, which continues beyond Aachen all the way to Görlitz.
In Belgium the road is of standard autoroute quality with two lanes in each direction. The Dutch section includes a short six lane section but also the only part of the E 314 of sub-autoroute quality, though even here the road uses a dual carriageway lay-out.
Highlights of the route
Between the end points, the road also serves the industrial city of Genk where Ford once built their Mondeo model. The Belgian section continues through the Hoge Kempen National Park: in 2005 the Kikbeek Ecoduct was opened here, whereby the road runs through a short tunnel section above which wild life has space to cross the road in relative safety.
The Dutch section is noteworthy for the sight of a large chemical plant shortly after crossing the frontier from Belgium. In the Netherlands, near to Heerlen, the E 414 also crosses the Dutch A2 Highway, a major artery of the Dutch roadway network, connecting nearby Maastricht with the heart of the country and Amsterdam.
Language changes
The area covered by this road has historically been at the border of three different linguistic regions. Place names on the E 314 will be known to English speakers by different names according to when it was adopted into English language. Most known at the eastern end of the road is Aachen still known to English speakers (and in their nineteenth century literature) by its French name as "Aix" or "Aix-la-Chapelle", while road signs in Belgian Limburg eventually still mention the Dutch name "Aken".
At the western end of the road Leuven is located in the Dutch speaking region, although in foreign (French, English, German ...) maps or literature "Louvain" (which has never been the city's official name) may still appear.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence%20Daws | Lawrence Daws (born 1927) is an Australian painter and printmaker, who works in the media of oil, watercolour, drawing, screenprints, etchings and monotypes.
In the 1980s he started making computer prints, and was possibly the first established Australian painter to use this medium.
His subjects are often landscapes, including deserts, of Tasmanian forests and the tropical rainforests of Queensland.
Daws grew up on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, and from 1970 until 2010, lived by the Glasshouse Mountains at Beerwah on the edge of a Queensland rainforest, where many of his best-known works were created.
In the 1960s he lived and exhibited in London in solo shows and with other Australians, including Brett Whiteley.
From 1977 he was a Trustee of the Queensland Art Gallery and was responsible for acquiring some major paintings for the gallery, including a major painting by Victor Pasmore.
A biography of Daws was published in 1982, written by Neville Weston.
Griffith University, Brisbane, and University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland have awarded honorary doctorates to Daws.
In 2016 Lawrence Daws was interviewed in a digital story and oral history for the State Library of Queensland's James C Sourris AM Collection. In the interview Daws talks to Bettina MacAulay, a Brisbane Art Valuer about his life, his paintings and computer generated prints, and how his interest in philosophy, literature and psychology has influenced his work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester%20College%20of%20Arts%20and%20Technology | Manchester College of Arts and Technology (or for short MANCAT) is a former network of further and higher education campuses in the city of Manchester, England specialising in courses in the Arts and Technology, however courses in many other fields were also offered. MANCAT was merged with the City College Manchester in August 2008, forming The Manchester College, which is now the largest college in Europe, according to the TMC website. Over 500 courses were offered at all levels and the college was one of the largest in the Greater Manchester area, with sites at Openshaw, Moston and other locations. MANCAT had around 45,000 students, making it alone one of the largest further education colleges in the United Kingdom.
History
MANCAT was formed in the early 1990s through the merger of North Manchester Community College and Central Manchester College of Technology. Initially there were seven colleges in the 1980s, the merger reduced this number to four by 1986. Since that time it had steadily grown through the acquisitions of other buildings, colleges and sites, including the former Ellen Wilkinson High School in Ardwick in 2000. The first principal was Nye Rowlands, formerly of Central Manchester College, and the First President of the Student Union was Phil McHugh, formerly of North Manchester Community College.
The college merged with City College Manchester to create an 80,000 student 'supercollege' known as The Manchester College in August 2008. The principal of MANCAT Peter Tavernor was appointed as head of The Manchester College.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%20Friend%20Connect | Google Friend Connect was a free social networking site, active from 2008 to 2012. Similar to Facebook Platform and MySpaceID, it took a decentralized approach, allowing users to build a profile to share and update information (through messaging, photographs and video content) via third-party sites. These sites acted as a host for profile sharing and social exchanges.
Google Friend Connect used open standards such as OpenID, OAuth and OpenSocial with the intent of freeing users from having to register for additional accounts or usernames. Once authenticated they could use their existing profile and access a social graph when posting messages.
It has been said that "social network APIs (how different services on the web talk to each other) such as the MySpace API, Facebook Connect and Google Friend Connect take the online social graph beyond social networking sites to external web sites and applications". This social graph feature allowed a user to post a message on a third-party site, but allowed viewing access only to other authorized "friends" contained within the user's chosen social graph.
Friend Connect was removed for all non-Blogger sites by March 1, 2012, and for Blogger sites on January 11, 2016.
APIs
The Google Friend Connect APIs allowed website owners to query the content of user profiles and provide customized website content and ads tailed to them via HTML/JavaScript "gadgets" into their pages. With these gadgets, Google Friend Connect provided a simple way for websites to offer social network integration, allowing them to include content from Hi5, Orkut, Plaxo, MySpace, Google Talk, Netlog, Twitter, and YouTube, with no knowledge of the relevant networks required from the website developer.
Multiple social gadgets were used to enable Friend Connect interaction, such as the Social Bar, Comments, Ratings and Reviews, Featured Content, Interests' Poll, Recommendations, Events and Games. In June 2009, Google added a gadget called ClackPoint, which offered live text chat, conference calling and document sharing, including simultaneous editing by multiple users.
A Google Friend Connect Community Widget was also offered, allowing website owners to an organization or content from partner sites, similarly to other widgets such as BlogCatalog and Facebook Fan Pages.
Statistics
As of 2011, it was estimated that approximately 200,000 websites used Google Friend Connect, with 2889 of them in the top million visited sites on the Internet. Google, however, estimated that over 5 million sites used Friend Connect.
99% of sites were said to not be socially enabled prior to the introduction of Friend Connect services.
History
Google Friend Connect was first previewed at a Google developer event in May 2008 and launched within days of Facebook Platform.
At the launch Google called Friend Connect a "set of functions and applications enabling website owners to easily make their sites social by adding registration, invitations, member's gallery |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad%20TV%20%28season%2014%29 | The fourteenth season of Mad TV, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on the Fox Network between September 13, 2008, and May 16, 2009.
Summary
This season saw some major changes to the cast. Feature players Daheli Hall, Dan Oster, and Anjelah Johnson did not return, while longtime cast members Jordan Peele and Michael McDonald left, though McDonald stayed on this season as a contributing writer and sketch director. New feature players for this season included comedian Matt Braunger, Erica Ash (from Logo's The Big Gay Sketch Show), stage actress Lauren Pritchard, and impressionist Eric Price. The show's format stayed largely unchanged, though the show's humor was back in full force after suffering through last season's changes in format and the hiatus brought on by the WGA strike.
MADtv also saw a change in timeslot. Between January 17, 2009, and February 21, 2009, the show was moved from its 11:00pm time slot to midnight on FOX affiliates and aired 30-minute reruns of their episodes that have previously aired from September to December 2008. Meanwhile, the show that preceded MADtv (Talkshow with Spike Feresten) was moved to the 11pm time slot and expanded to an hour.
The show's format and set also saw major changes. Instead of filming sketches before a live audience, all of the sketches were now pre-recorded and shown to the audience. The set also got a complete overhaul from its standard audience bleachers and stage setup to a dinner theater-style set up with a video monitor, a format that would stay with the show when it was temporarily revived on The CW in 2016.
In November 2008, it was announced that Mad TV would be cancelled at the end of the 2008-2009 season. Despite rumors that MADtv would continue as a cable show, nothing came of the show being revived (barring a similar, animated sketch series on Cartoon Network called MAD that aired from 2010 to 2014 and MADtv'''s limited-run reboot on The CW in 2016).
Notable guest stars for this season include: Jerry O'Connell, the Kardashian/Jenner family (including Caitlyn Jenner back when she was Bruce), Jerry Springer, Judge Joe Brown, Ne-Yo, Jeff Probst, Fred Willard, Serena Williams, Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong, and former MADtv'' cast members Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Artie Lange, Will Sasso, and Debra Wilson.
Opening montage
The visuals of the opening montage are essentially the same as season thirteen (except Bobby Lee's footage), but the theme music is back to being mostly a rap remix, using the vocals of "MAD!" and "You are now watching..."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Kaminsky | Daniel Kaminsky (February 7, 1979 – April 23, 2021) was an American computer security researcher. He was a co-founder and chief scientist of Human Security (formerly White Ops), a computer security company. He previously worked for Cisco, Avaya, and IOActive, where he was the director of penetration testing. The New York Times labeled Kaminsky an "Internet security savior" and "a digital Paul Revere".
Kaminsky was known among computer security experts for his work on DNS cache poisoning, for showing that the Sony Rootkit had infected at least 568,000 computers, and for his talks at the Black Hat Briefings. On June 16, 2010, he was named by ICANN as one of the Trusted Community Representatives for the DNSSEC root.
Early life
Daniel Kaminsky was born in San Francisco on February 7, 1979, to Marshall Kaminsky and Trudy Maurer. His mother told The New York Times that after his father bought him a RadioShack computer at age four, Kaminsky had taught himself to code by age five. At 11, his mother received a call from a government security administrator who told her that Kaminsky had used penetration testing to intrude into military computers, and that the family's Internet would be cut off. His mother responded by saying if their access was cut, she would take out an advertisement in the San Francisco Chronicle to publicize the fact that an 11-year-old could break military computer security. Instead, a three-day Internet "timeout" for Kaminsky was negotiated. In 2008, after Kaminsky found and coordinated a fix for a fundamental DNS flaw, he was approached by the administrator, who thanked him and asked to be introduced to his mother.
Kaminsky attended St. Ignatius High School and Santa Clara University. After graduating from college, he worked for Cisco, Avaya, and IOActive, before founding his own firm White Ops (later renamed Human Security).
Career
Sony rootkit
During the Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal, where Sony BMG was found to be covertly installing anti-piracy software onto PCs, Kaminsky used DNS cache snooping to discover whether servers had recently contacted any of the domains accessed by the Sony rootkit. He used this technique to estimate that there were at least 568,000 networks that had computers with the rootkit. Kaminsky then used his research to bring more awareness to the issue while Sony executives were trying to play it down.
Earthlink and DNS lookup
In April 2008, Kaminsky realized a growing practice among ISPs potentially represented a security vulnerability. Various ISPs have experimented with intercepting return messages of non-existent domain names and replacing them with advertising content. This could allow hackers to set up phishing schemes by attacking the server responsible for the advertisements and linking to non-existent subdomains of the targeted websites. Kaminsky demonstrated this process by setting up Rickrolls on Facebook and PayPal. While the vulnerability used initially depended in part on the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP%20300LX |
The HP 300LX was one of the first handheld PCs designed to run the Windows CE 1.0 operating system from Microsoft. Unlike other HPCs of the time, the resistive touch screen had an enhanced screen resolution of 640x240 with 4 shades of grey, rather than the standard 480x240 resolution of other devices, such as the Casio Cassiopeia A-10. The device also sported a full PC card slot, a serial link cable plug, and an infrared port.
It was released with 'Pocket' versions of Microsoft applications, such as Word and Excel, and PIM applications such as Tasks, Calendar and Contacts. A very basic version of Internet Explorer was included with Windows CE. Version 1.0 (with an update to 1.1 released shortly after), Inbox was also included for email capability. Access to the internet required use of 3rd party PCMCIA card modem or network card.
The device was made of moulded grey plastic with a lighter grey plastic stylus which is stored on the right hand side of the device under the keyboard. The left hand side of the device is taken up by the PCMCIA card slot and eject button. On the right hand side towards the back is the infrared port. On the back of the device is the proprietary serial connection which has a maximum baud rate of 115,200 bit/s and the power adapter port. Power for the device was provided by 2 AA batteries with a CR2032 backup battery to save user data when the 2 AA batteries ran out. A single mono speaker, ROM door and battery compartment are located on the underside of the device.

The HP 320LX, released in 1997, was an improved version of the 300LX. It was largely identical to its sister unit, but included a backlit screen, an increase in RAM from 2 MB to 4 MB, and a dedicated compact flash slot. It was also upgradable to Windows CE 2.0 (which required a physical replacement of the ROM card containing the OS). The 320LX came boxed with an AC adapter and serial cradle in addition to the standard equipment from 300LX.
360LX
An even later variant, HP 360LX, increased the RAM to 8 MB and increased the CPU clock speed to 60 MHz. It also shipped with Windows CE 2.0. The 360LX was released on November 10, 1997 at a starting price of $699.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%20Cassidy%20%28journalist%29 | Tom Cassidy (August 12, 1949 – May 26, 1991) was the television business anchor for Cable News Network (CNN), an American cable news television station, and the founder of the weekend show Pinnacle in 1982. Significantly, he was the CNN business news anchor during Black Monday, 19 October 1987. This was a famous day on Wall Street when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell 508 points to 1739, a frightening drop during which time Cassidy's ongoing reporting during the afternoon and evening provided both credible information and a significant calmness to the American public.
Early life and education
Cassidy was born in Boston on 12 August 1949. He majored in history at Bowdoin College in Maine. He went to Columbia University in New York City, where he received masters degrees in economics and journalism.
Career
In 1978 he began his career in broadcasting for KEZI-TV in Eugene, Oregon, as a reporter and anchor. Cassidy then moved over to KGO-TV in San Francisco. After that Cassidy was the business editor for Mutual Radio in Chicago. He began at CNN in 1981, one of CNN's first anchors and reporters. In 1982 he founded CNN's weekend show about business leaders, Pinnacle. In 1984 he became the host of Pinnacle, a position he held until 1988.
HIV-AIDS
In 1987 he was diagnosed as HIV positive the same day as Black Monday, 19 October. Cassidy went public on New York area television on an ongoing basis with his dilemma, treatment and progress (including revealing his diagnosis to his family on camera) in order to better educate the public about HIV/AIDS disease.
Bowdoin College endowment
As Cassidy was a 1972 graduate of Bowdoin College, his will endowed Bowdoin with a lectureship in which prominent working journalists give lectures on a wide variety of topics each year. Thomas J. Cassidy lecturers at Bowdoin have included: Lou Dobbs of CNN; Linda Wertheimer of National Public Radio; Andrew Serwer of Fortune Magazine; and Amanda Griscom Little, environmental writer for The New York Times and The Washington Post. Cassidy completed two master's degrees in finance and journalism from Columbia University.
Podcast
Season 2, episode 11 of the podcast “Making Gay History” is about him.
Death
Cassidy died on 26 May 1991 in Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City from complications of HIV/AIDS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC%20Ace | PC Ace was a partwork magazine published by Eaglemoss Publications, between 1999 and 2001. It was aimed at those aged between 10 and 14, providing information on how to operate a personal computer. Readers of the magazine were assisted in part by a cartoon mouse named Ace, who featured throughout the magazine's pages.
The series consisted of 100 parts, and was previously available for sale in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, among others.
Structure
PC Ace was released on a weekly basis, with a CD-ROM accompanying the magazine every second issue (with the exception of part 1, which included two CD-ROM discs). These CD-ROM discs contained programs such as computer games and edutainment titles.
Issues that included a CD-ROM did not include the Wordpower section.
Sections
PC Ace was divided into 9 sections, detailed below.
PC Power - Essential Skills - This section consisted of information on using core computer functions, such as using fonts and operating the Microsoft Windows operating system. It was discontinued after part 12.
PC Power - Operating Skills - This section consisted of information that discussed use of the Microsoft Windows operating system in a more in-depth manner, such as running games under MS-DOS and changing shortcut icons.
PC Power - Program Skills - This section focused on the use of software that ran within the Microsoft Windows operating system, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
Technozone - This section contained a collection of technology related articles that was built up as the series progressed. Topics included Gamepads and Animation.
Online - This section consisted of information about how to use the internet and tools that were available online. Topics included creating a website and sending email.
On CD-ROM - This section was only included with issues that were accompanied by a CD-ROM. It had information on the background of the included program, as well as brief details of how to use it.
Wordpower - This section was an A - Z index of computing terms which built up as the series progressed, in alphabetical order, with their definitions included.
Timeout - This section provided details on how to create items such as party invitations and graphics, as well as how to play games that are included in the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Cyberchat - This section contained technology related news items, as well as letters sent in by readers of the magazine (under the title of 'Ace's Noticeboard').

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUED/M | QUED and QUED/M are text editors for the classic Mac OS operating system, developed by Paragon Concepts, which later became Nisus Software, Inc. While it is still distributed and supported it has not been updated since 1997. The Initial incarnation, QUED (QUality EDitor, released 1985), gave programmers a versatile text editor superior to the bundled Edit application. QUED/M, released in 1987, added a macro system.
The macro language consisted of two "dialects", the Menu Command Dialect and the Programming Dialect. The Menu Command dialect (not based on anything, because nothing like it was known) used each menu command of the application to execute the respective command. Extensions to that were used to specify details of how the command was to be executed. The programming dialect was not based on any other programming language. This was back-ported from Nisus Writer version 4.x when a similar programming dialect was added to that program's macro capability.
QUED/M competed with Apple's Macintosh Programmer's Workshop Shell and other Macintosh integrated development environments of the time. QUED/M was gradually supplanted by BBEdit, which offered much better integration with many technologies in System 7. QUED/M served as the foundation of Nisus Writer (now Nisus Writer Pro), first released in 1989 as "Nisus, The Amazing Word Processor for the Apple Macintosh".
QUED/M does not run natively on Mac OS X, hence it requires the Mac Classic Environment, and cannot run in Mac OS X v10.5 or later or on Intel-based Macs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20World%27s%20Most%20Dangerous%20Magic | The World's Most Dangerous Magic was the title of two American television specials showcasing illusion and escapology acts, which were made for the NBC network. The first was originally broadcast on 27 April 1998 and the second, titled The World's Most Dangerous Magic 2, was initially aired on 2 May 1999.
The shows were the brainchild of producer Gary Ouellet and were made by the Gary L Pudney Company. They featured a combination of famous performers and lesser-known magicians, each performing stunts or illusions that were claimed to involve the risk of death or serious injury. While some stunts clearly involved genuine life-threatening danger should anything have gone wrong, the risk of injury in others was open to question. In the first show, The Pendragons performed the illusion Impaled, which was described as a "balancing feat" in which Charlotte Pendragon risked fatal impalement should it go wrong. However this is a well known illusion in the general repertoire of stage magic in which the performer is not actually in danger of genuine impalement (although if performed clumsily or with poor quality apparatus there is some risk of back injury to the assistant). The Pendragons' presentation of this illusion is nevertheless rated by many magicians as possibly the best ever version of the trick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang%20and%20Landau%20algorithm | The Wang and Landau algorithm, proposed by Fugao Wang and David P. Landau, is a Monte Carlo method designed to estimate the density of states of a system. The method performs a non-Markovian random walk to build the density of states by quickly visiting all the available energy spectrum. The Wang and Landau algorithm is an important method to obtain the density of states required to perform a multicanonical simulation.
The Wang–Landau algorithm can be applied to any system which is characterized by a cost (or energy) function. For instance,
it has been applied to the solution of numerical integrals and the folding of proteins.
The Wang–Landau sampling is related to the metadynamics algorithm.
Overview
The Wang and Landau algorithm is used to obtain an estimate for the density of states of a system characterized by a cost function. It uses a non-Markovian stochastic process which asymptotically converges to a multicanonical ensemble. (I.e. to a Metropolis–Hastings algorithm with sampling distribution inverse to the density of states) The major consequence is that this sampling distribution leads to a simulation where the energy barriers are invisible. This means that the algorithm visits all the accessible states (favorable and less favorable) much faster than a Metropolis algorithm.
Algorithm
Consider a system defined on a phase space , and a cost function, E, (e.g. the energy), bounded on a spectrum , which has an associated density of states , which is to be estimated. The estimator is . Because Wang and Landau algorithm works in discrete spectra, the spectrum is divided in N discrete values with a difference between them of , such that
.
Given this discrete spectrum, the algorithm is initialized by:
setting all entries of the microcanonical entropy to zero,
initializing and
initializing the system randomly, by putting in a random configuration .
The algorithm then performs a multicanonical ensemble simulation: a Metropolis–Hastings random walk in the phase space of the system with a probability distribution given by and a probability of proposing a new state given by a probability distribution . A histogram of visited energies is stored. Like in the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm, a proposal-acceptance step is performed, and consists in (see Metropolis–Hastings algorithm overview):
proposing a state according to the arbitrary proposal distribution
accept/refuse the proposed state according to
where and .
After each proposal-acceptance step, the system transits to some value , is incremented by one and the following update is performed:
.
This is the crucial step of the algorithm, and it is what makes the Wang and Landau algorithm non-Markovian: the stochastic process now depends on the history of the process. Hence the next time there is a proposal to a state with that particular energy , that proposal is now more likely refused; in this sense, the algorithm forces the system to visit all of the spectrum equally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIME%20%28command%29 | In computing, TIME is a command in DEC RT-11, DOS, IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows and a number of other operating systems that is used to display and set the current system time. It is included in command-line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT.
Implementations
The command is also available in the Motorola VERSAdos, Intel iRMX 86, PC-MOS, SpartaDOS X, ReactOS, SymbOS, and DexOS operating systems as well as in the EFI shell. On MS-DOS, the command is available in versions 1 and later.
In Unix, the date command displays and sets both the time and date, in a similar manner.
Syntax
The syntax differs depending on the specific platform and implementation:
DOS
TIME [time]
OS/2 (CMD.EXE)
TIME [hh-mm-ss] [/N]
Note: /N means no prompt for TIME.
Windows (CMD.EXE)
TIME [/T | time]
When this command is called from the command line or a batch script, it will display the time and wait for the user to type a new time and press RETURN. Pressing RETURN without entering a new time will keep the current system time. The parameter '/T' will bypass asking the user to reset the time. The '/T' parameter is supported in Windows Vista and later and only if Command Extensions are enabled.
4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT
TIME [/T] [hh[:mm[:ss]]] [AM | PM]
/T: (display only)
hh: The hour (0–23).
mm: The minute (0–59).
ss: The second (0–59), set to 0 if omitted.
Examples
OS/2 (CMD.EXE)
Display the current system time:
[C:\]TIME
Current time is: 3:25 PM
Enter the new time:
Windows (CMD.EXE)
To set the computer clock to 3:42 P.M., either of the following commands can be used:
C:\>TIME 15:42
C:\>TIME 3:42P
4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT
Display the current system time:
C:\SYS\SHELL\4DOS>TIME /T

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer%20%28software%29 | Homer, from Blue Cow Software, was an IRC client for Apple Macintosh computer systems during the 1990s, written by Tob Smith, and distributed as shareware.
System 7 or later of the classic Mac OS was required, as was MacTCP.
It featured an icon view of users in a channel, which would animate when the user posted to the channel. It also provided notification of incoming CTCP Finger commands. Ircle included and extended this feature, "face files" to larger images. A late version of Homer reportedly allowed collaborative drawing across the network.
The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh (1994) described it as "a great program if you're interested in IRC," and noted that "Homer has a colorful and unique interface that significantly eases using IRC, since it simplifies switching channels, keeping multiple discussions going, [and] giving and taking operator privileges".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%20Hyacinth | Operation Hyacinth () was a secret mass operation of the Polish communist police, carried out in the years 1985–87. Its purpose was to create national database of all Polish homosexuals and people who were in touch with them, and it resulted in the registration of around 11,000 people.
Beginnings
Officially, Polish propaganda stated that the reasons for the launch of the action were as follows:
fear of the newly discovered HIV virus, as homosexuals were regarded as a group of high risk,
control of homosexual criminal gangs
fighting prostitution.
However, most probably, the Służba Bezpieczeństwa (SB) functionaries wanted to gather compromising evidence, which would later be used to blackmail involved individuals. Furthermore, those persons would be more willing to cooperate with the security services, also there are speculations that the operation was part of the wider action aimed at fighting the anticommunist opposition. SB agents were sent to check for opposition illegal movements in LGBT groups.
The Operation
Operation Hyacinth, upon order of Minister of Internal Affairs Czesław Kiszczak, began on November 15, 1985. On that morning, in different colleges, factories and offices across Poland, functionaries of the SB arrested numerous persons suspected of being homosexual or of having connections with homosexual groups. Those arrested had special files entitled Karta homoseksualisty (Card of a homosexual) and some of them were talked into signing a statement:
I (first name and last name) have been a homosexual since birth. I have had multiple partners in my life, all of them were adult. I am not interested in minors.
Apart from signing the document, those arrested were ordered to give their fingerprints, some of them were blackmailed into describing intimate parts of their sexual lives, and some were blackmailed into denouncing their colleagues.
The operation lasted until 1987, but files were added until 1988. It has been estimated that some 11,000 homosexuals were documented, and these files are now called "Różowe kartoteki" (Pink card index). Members of the LGBT community had asked the Institute of National Remembrance to destroy the files, but the IPN answered that it would have been illegal.
Aftermath
Due to Operation Hyacinth, members of the gay community decided to go "underground" and cover their sexual orientation even deeper, several of them left Poland and the operation itself was criticized by Western mass-media. The Polish government denied allegations, spokesman Jerzy Urban, asked in December 1988 by Kay Winthers of the Baltimore Sun, said that such an operation never took place.
The first person who became known as a victim of this operation was a gay rights activist Waldemar Zboralski.
On December 8, 1988, Professor Mikołaj Kozakiewicz discussed the operation with General Kiszczak. The latter admitted that Polish security services owned "pink files", but only with documentation of individuals involved in criminal activ |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest%20typing | In computer science, manifest typing is explicit identification by the software programmer of the type of each variable being declared. For example: if variable X is going to store integers then its type must be declared as integer. The term "manifest typing" is often used with the term latent typing to describe the difference between the static, compile-time type membership of the object and its run-time type identity.
In contrast, some programming languages use implicit typing (a.k.a. type inference) where the type is deduced from context at compile-time or allow for dynamic typing in which the variable is just declared and may be assigned a value of any type at runtime.
Examples
Consider the following example written in the C programming language:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char s[] = "Test String";
float x = 0.0f;
int y = 0;
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}
The variables s, x, and y were declared as a character array, floating point number, and an integer, respectively. The type system rejects, at compile-time, such fallacies as trying to add s and x. Since C23, type inference can be used in C with the keyword auto. Using that feature, the preceding example could become:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char s[] = "Test String";
// auto s = "Test String"; is instead equivalent to char* s = "Test String";
auto x = 0.0f;
auto y = 0;
printf("Hello, World!\n");
return 0;
}
Similarly to the second example, in Standard ML, the types do not need to be explicitly declared. Instead, the type is determined by the type of the assigned expression.
let val s = "Test String"
val x = 0.0
val y = 0
in print "Hello, World!\n"
end
There are no manifest types in this program, but the compiler still infers the types string, real and int for them, and would reject the expression s+x as a compile-time error.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conagher | Conagher is a 1991 American Western made-for-television film based on the 1969 Louis L'Amour novel of the same name co-produced and distributed by Turner Network Television.
Plot
The film opens with the Teale family moving west on a wagon into Indian Territory. They reach their home, and plan to go into the cattle business. The father, Jacob, rides out to procure the cattle, promising to return in a month. However, he is killed along the way when his horse falls over on him, and he bleeds to death internally.
Meanwhile, a stagecoach passes by the Teale farm; Evie Teale agrees to work for the stagecoach by feeding customers. One of the men on the stagecoach warns Evie of a man named Conn Conagher, who he claims is a fierce gunfighter. One day, Conagher and his partner Mahler, stop at the Teale farm for food. The farm later comes under attack by Indians. The stagecoach arrives again in the middle of the gunfight and the drivers and the passengers help defend the farm. The defeated Indians retreat in the morning.
Conagher, meanwhile, drifts out in the wilderness. Mahler and he meet an old rancher, Seaborn Tay, who hires both of them. Conagher proves to be a hardworking cowhand, but the ranch comes under threat by the Ladder Five gang, led by Smoke Parnell. Mahler deserts the ranch after an argument with Conagher and joins the Ladder gang. Conagher saves the ranch and Tay's cattle twice from the Ladder gang, both in a series of quick gun battles. He also visits the Teale farm regularly, and Evie and he grow fond of each other and he becomes a father figure to her children.
One day, when Conagher is out herding Tay's cattle, he is ambushed and shot by the Ladder Five gang. The wounded Conagher hides out during the day, and at night returns and holds the Ladder Five, including Parnell, at gunpoint. Weak from his wound, Conagher eventually collapses and passes out, but not before he demands the Ladder Five to clear off of the land. Parnell knows now that he can finish Conagher, as his gang has sworn to do, but instead orders his man to take Conagher to Seaborn Tay. The next day, the Ladder Five gang clears off the land.
Evie Teale writes anonymous poems and ties them to tumbleweeds. Conagher chases tumbleweeds all over the prairie through most of the film, but he does not guess she is the tumbleweed poet until the end.
When Conagher recovers, he tells Tay he feels like drifting again. Tay says he can stay and own part of the ranch, he has earned it, but Conagher has always been a drifter and he feels he needs to move on. He stops in the saloon in town and sees the stagecoach manager, who buys him a drink. Conagher tells him he has "tumbleweed fever" and the stagecoach manager laughs and says, "you, too?" Apparently, cowboys all over the county have been finding the notes tied to the tumbleweeds, and wondering about the woman who wrote them. The conversation shifts to Mrs. Teale, and the stagecoach manager says the family had a hard winter, but |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileHCI | The Conference on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction (MobileHCI) is a leading series of academic conferences in Human–computer interaction and is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. MobileHCI has been held annually since 1998 and has been an ACM SIGCHI sponsored conference since 2012 The conference is very competitive, with an acceptance rate of below 20% in 2017 from 25% in 2006 and 21.6% in 2009. MobileHCI 2011 was held in Stockholm, Sweden, and MobileHCI 2012 which was sponsored by SIGCHI held in San Francisco, USA.
History
The MobileHCI series started in 1998 as a stand-alone Workshop on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices organized by Chris Johnson and held at the University of Glasgow. In the following year the workshop was held in conjunction with the Interact conference and was organized by Stephen Brewster and Mark Dunlop. In 2001 MobileHCI was again organized by Brewster and Dunlop in association with a major conference. This was in conjunction with IHM-HCI in Lille, France.
In 2002 MobileHCI was held independently from an associated conference as a stand-alone symposium in Pisa, Italy, organized by Fabio Paternò. In 2003 the conference was organized by Luca Chittaro in Udine, Italy. In 2004 it was again organized by Brewster and Dunlop, this time at the University of Strathclyde. In the following years the conference took place in Austria, Finland, and Singapore. MobileHCI 2008 has been organized by Henri Ter Hofte from the Telematica Instituut in the Netherlands.
For 2008 the conference's steering committee agreed to award a prize for the most influential paper published at MobileHCI ten years ago. The price should recognises the longevity of impact papers from the first MobileHCI have had on the research community. The 2008 prize was awarded to Keith Cheverst for the paper Exploiting Context in HCI Design for Mobile Systems written together with Tom Rodden, Nigel Davies, and Alan Dix.
MobileHCI 2009 was organised by Fraunhofer FIT and University of Siegen, in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGMOBILE. The general chair was Prof. Dr. Reinhard Oppermann from Fraunhofer Society FIT, and the program chairs were Dr. Markus Eisenhauer, Prof. Dr. Matthias Jarke, and Prof. Dr. Volker Wulf.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN%20hopping | VLAN hopping is a computer security exploit, a method of attacking networked resources on a virtual LAN (VLAN). The basic concept behind all VLAN hopping attacks is for an attacking host on a VLAN to gain access to traffic on other VLANs that would normally not be accessible. There are two primary methods of VLAN hopping: switch spoofing and double tagging. Both attack vectors can be mitigated with proper switch port configuration.
Switch spoofing
In a switch spoofing attack, an attacking host imitates a trunking switch by speaking the tagging and trunking protocols (e.g. Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol, IEEE 802.1Q, Dynamic Trunking Protocol) used in maintaining a VLAN. Traffic for multiple VLANs is then accessible to the attacking host.
Mitigation
Switch spoofing can only be exploited when interfaces are set to negotiate a trunk. To prevent this attack on Cisco IOS, use one of the following methods:
1. Ensure that ports are not set to negotiate trunks automatically by disabling DTP:
Switch (config-if)# switchport nonegotiate
2. Ensure that ports that are not meant to be trunks are explicitly configured as access ports
Switch (config-if)# switchport mode access
Double tagging
In a double tagging attack, an attacker connected to an 802.1Q-enabled port prepends two VLAN tags to a frame that it transmits. The frame (externally tagged with VLAN ID that the attacker's port is really a member of) is forwarded without the first tag because it is the native VLAN of a trunk interface. The second tag is then visible to the second switch that the frame encounters. This second VLAN tag indicates that the frame is destined for a target host on a second switch. The frame is then sent to the target host as though it originated on the target VLAN, effectively bypassing the network mechanisms that logically isolate VLANs from one another.
However, possible replies are not forwarded to the attacking host (unidirectional flow).
Mitigation
Double Tagging can only be exploited on switch ports configured to use native VLANs. Trunk ports configured with a native VLAN don't apply a VLAN tag when sending these frames. This allows an attacker's fake VLAN tag to be read by the next switch.
Double Tagging can be mitigated by any of the following actions (Incl. IOS example):
Simply do not put any hosts on VLAN 1 (The default VLAN). i.e., assign an access VLAN other than VLAN 1 to every access port
Switch (config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Change the native VLAN on all trunk ports to an unused VLAN ID.
Switch (config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 999
Explicit tagging of the native VLAN on all trunk ports. Must be configured on all switches in network autonomy.
Switch(config)# vlan dot1q tag native
Example
As an example of a double tagging attack, consider a secure web server on a VLAN called VLAN2. Hosts on VLAN2 are allowed access to the web server; hosts from outside VLAN2 are blocked by layer 3 filters. An attacking host on a separate VLA |

Education and professional career
Wallace received degrees in mathematics from Columbia University (BA), University of California at Berkeley (MA) and a Ph.D in 1975 at Tulane University with his dissertation Permutation Groupoids and Circuit Bases: An Algebraic Resolution of Some Graph Structures.
He was a professor at Emory University, DePauw and Boston University. He was Chief Software Architect for Alliant, Chief compiler architect at Sun Microsystems, and co-founder of Determina (now part of VMware).
Inventions
Wallace was the inventor of the Wallace algorithm, a method for determining the dependence between array references in scientific programs for the purpose of parallelization.
He was also the inventor of “Software Cloaking”, a technology for preventing reverse engineering. This process is primarily used to prevent hackers from cracking DRM systems. Cloaking hides the internal operation of a program using mathematical transformations. His patent for this technology, “System and Method for Cloaking Software,” was granted by the USPTO in February 2001.
David R. Wallace had several patents pending for a new form of software security called "Greencastle Vulnerability Shield".

Synopsis
Vin and Marge Shipley live above a fish and chip shop in South London, with their only son Keith. Things are tough in South London and Keith wants to make his misery guts parents smile again, so he buys a brilliantly coloured tropical fish from Australia. All his efforts to cheer his parents fail, so Keith decides he must find a way to get his parents to Australia, where the sun shines all the time. At some point, Keith accidentally burns down his parents' shop. The Shipleys decide to migrate to Australia with the insurance money. They arrive at Orchid Cove, a small fictional town in Australia. Keith believes it is a paradise. He meets a girl, around his age, named Tracy.
The Shipleys open a new fish and chip shop in Orchid Cove named Paradise Fish 'n' Chips and Tracy introduces Keith to some interesting activities in Orchid Cove, such as surfing. The Shipleys' new shop is getting along and the Shipleys become friends with Wogga, Tracy's father and Dougie, the mechanic. Arrogant businessman Arnold Flashman opens up a rival fish and chip shop named Ocean Fresh Fish 'n' Fries near the Shipleys' store. The people who work there are frauds who don't catch their own fish or make their own chips. However they still have better equipment than the Shipleys do, which worries the Shipleys. To make matters worse, a storm hits the shop and damages most of the equipment. However, Keith thinks of something. With the help of Tracy, he decides to paint the shop to attract new customers.
As competition grows, Keith decides to support his family further by sneaking out to discover opals in the opal fields in Southern Australia. On his way, he is kidnapped by Coal, a trucker, and servo station owner, Mic. Mic releases Keith on the promise that Keith paints a picture of Coal's truck. Seeing the beautiful image, Coal decides to give Keith a ride to the opal fields. Meanwhile, Tracy finds out that Keith has been kidnapped and informs Wogga. Wogga decides to follow Vin and Marge Shipley, who have already started to look for Keith. Eventually, Tracy finds Keith in a tunnel. Frustrated, Keith digs at the tunnel furiously, which leads to the collapse of the tunnel. Tracy happened to bring her dog Buster with her, and with Buster's help, both Keith and Tracy are able to escape. Tracy, Wogga, Keith, Marge and Vin are happily reunited.
After returning home, a frustrated and devastated Vin decides to sell his shop to Flashman. Keith begs him not to sell the shop and decides to organize a Fish 'n' Chips Championship to determine the best Fish 'n' chips maker in Orchid Cove. The judge who is Baz, the town's police sergeant, rules that Paradise Fish 'n' Chips are better than Ocean Fresh Fish 'n' Fries and the Shipleys' shop stays in business, while Flashman leaves Orchid Cove for good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Treehouse%20%28video%20game%29 | The Treehouse is an educational point-and-click personal computer game developed for DOS and then ported to Macintosh and the FM Towns, with Windows versions arriving later. Following the success of The Playroom, Broderbund created The Treehouse, which provides more content and furthers the user's ability to explore. First released in 1991, most copies were sold in educational supply stores rather than mainstream stores that sold computer software; it included a sing-along cassette tape. It was re-released in 1996 for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Although the Windows version has the same general activities, the characters, interface, and locations are different.
Gameplay
The game's main characters are two opossums who at various times either want to play or take a nap. The activities within the game include music composition and learning, a music maze, a picture scene with interactive objects, a puppet show and a Monopoly-style game that teaches counting and currency concepts.
Educational goals
The game is designed for older learners than The Playroom. The subjects in the game include math, language, music, creative art and science. Children are encouraged to explore new places, learn new facts and put their creative skills to use.
Reception
Computer Gaming World gave The Treehouse five out of five stars, stating that it had a "rich, full environment" with "excellent sound effects" and placed it as one of the SPA Top Hits for Home Education. The game was given a platinum award at the 1994 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Awards. The judges claimed that "the graphics and music are first-rate, and the activities are interactive and fun".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunking%20gateway | A trunking gateway, also known as a PSTN gateway, is an interface between Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Public switched telephone network (PSTN). The gateway connects the VoIP line and PSTN line so that an end user can use PSTN phones to make a call over the Internet with VoIP. Trunking gateways are generally larger than residential gateways, managing a large number of digital circuits.
The name "trunking gateway" refers to the Class-4 telephone switches these gateways often connect to, which are also referred to as "trunking switches" because of their use of trunks. A trunking gateway might connect to, for example, T1/E1 and T3/E3 circuits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%20M.%20English | Paul M. English (born 1963) is an American tech entrepreneur, computer scientist and philanthropist. He is the founder of Boston Venture Studio,
and previously co-founded and served as CTO of Kayak. In November 2012, Kayak was acquired by Priceline for $1.8 billion. Before Kayak, English had created a number of companies, including the customer service company GetHuman; the e-commerce website-design company Boston Light, which was acquired by Intuit; and the anti-spam software company Intermute, which was acquired by Trend Micro.
English co-founded Summits Education, a network of 41 schools in Haiti, created in partnership with the Haitian Ministry of National Education and Partners In Health, a non-profit where English serves as a director. He also founded King Boston, a racial-justice project which includes the creation of a new memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King at Boston Common and the King Center for Economic Justice in Roxbury, Boston.
Early life and education
Paul M. English was born in 1963 in Boston, Massachusetts, the sixth of seven siblings in an Irish Catholic family that lived in the West Roxbury neighborhood. His mother was a substitute teacher and social worker, and his father was a pipefitter for Boston Gas. The family were congregants of St. Theresa of Avila Parish, and English attended Boston Latin School. He was part of the school band and played the piano and trumpet. He also joined the Computer Club where he was first introduced to computer programming.
In 1981, his mother bought a VIC-20 computer for the family on which English continued to teach himself how to code. His brother Ed had become a well-known game designer after he created a computer program to play chess. Parker Brothers had also hired Ed to convert Frogger to be playable on the Atari 2600. Paul designed a game called Cupid on the VIC-20 which he showed to Ed. Cupid, with Ed's help, was acquired for $25,000 by Games by Apollo, which made a $5,000 down payment on the game before the company went out of business. Paul used the money to buy an Apple II with CD-ROM burner to make copies of the game for his friends. He also bought a modem to join the nascent Internet.
English continued to live in the family home and worked as a meter reader for Boston Gas in the summer after graduating from Boston Latin in 1982. His grades were not good enough to get him into a competitive school like Harvard like several of his classmates, but his high SAT scores meant that he could attend the University of Massachusetts Boston tuition-free. He also liked the fact that the school had a Jazz band. While attending classes at night, English worked part-time for Ed's new company, adding music and sound effects to video games. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in 1987, English continued to study at UMass Boston to earn a master's degree in Computer Science in 1989. He later earned an honorary doctorate from the same university in 2019.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20route%20E34 | European route E34 forms part of the United Nations International E-road network. It connects Zeebrugge, the major seaport of Bruges, with Bad Oeynhausen, a German spa town located beside the River Weser at the eastern edge of North Rhine-Westphalia. At Bad Oeynhausen the E34 links to the E30, a major pan European east-west artery. It also passes, relatively briefly, through the Netherlands, following the southern by-pass of Eindhoven. Within Germany the route follows from south-west to north-east the full length of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The three names of the road from the coast
By the early 1990s the western portion of the route, between Antwerp and the coast, was a dual carriageway with frequent intersections, the more busy of which were controlled by traffic lights and marked by speed limits. Starting at the Antwerp end, this part of the E34 has more recently been progressively upgraded with junctions either eliminated or else replaced by motorway-style intersections. The road is still of sub-motorway quality between the coast and Zelzate, but to the east of the road tunnel under the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal, the upgrade is virtually complete. The upgrade from National road to Autoroute quality has been reflected in a name change, from N49 to A11: in terms of national road numbers, as long as the upgrade remains incomplete, the two names are currently used interchangeably or together (N49-A11) when referring to the full length between Antwerp and Zeebrugge. In Belgium the E route numbers are given prominence at least equal to nationally assigned road numbers, so that in practice the road may be marked, using all three names, as the N49-E34-A11. Locally the road is often referred to more simply as the expressway (de expresweg).
Congestion
The route skirts Antwerp using the southern R1 inner ringroad which includes the Kennedy Tunnel: this is closed to vehicles with certain classes of dangerous loads. These are required to divert onto the northern R2 outer ringroad. To address the resulting delays, and because the inner southern ring route itself frequently becomes seriously congested, a northern inner ring road for Antwerp is being planned.
The German portion of the E34 passes across the northern side of Germany's Ruhr industrial belt. Most of the road, which is currently being progressively upgraded, is now a six lane (three in each direction) highway. Access points are relatively close together in this section and the route - especially the section between Duisburg and Dortmund - is prone to delays resulting from traffic congestion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Slade | Robert Michael Slade, also known as Robert M. Slade and Rob Slade, is a Canadian information security consultant, researcher and instructor. He is the author of Robert Slade's Guide to Computer Viruses, Software Forensics, Dictionary of Information Security and co-author of Viruses Revealed. Slade is the author of thousands of technical book reviews, today published on the techbooks mailing list and in the RISKS Digest, and archived in his Internet Review Project. An expert on computer viruses and malware, he is also the Mr. Slade of "Mr. Slade's lists".
Family and education
Slade married Gloria J. Slade who edits much of his work and is the editor of Slade's book reviews. He holds a bachelor's degree from the University of British Columbia, a master's in computer and information science education from the University of Oregon and a diploma in Christian studies from Regent College.
Malware and forensics
Slade became one of a small number of researchers who can be called the world's experts on malware. Fred Cohen named Slade's early work organizing computer viruses, software, BBSes and book reviews Mr. Slade's lists. Slade is one of fewer than thirty people worldwide who are credited for contributions in the final version of the VIRUS-L FAQ, which, with the Usenet group comp.virus and the VIRUS-L mailing list, was the public group of record for computer virus issues from 1988 to 1995. Until 1996 he maintained the Antiviral Software Evaluation FAQ, a quick reference for users seeking antivirus software and a vendor contacts list. He was a contributor as well to at least three other group computer virus FAQs before the Web came to prominence. He has written two books about viruses: he was sole author of Robert Slade's Guide to Computer Viruses, first published in 1994 (2nd edition 1996) and co-wrote Viruses Revealed with David Harley and Urs Gattiker in 2001.
Slade advanced the field of computer forensics when through his antivirus research he found that the intentions and identity of virus authors can be discovered in their program code. He created the first course ever offered in forensic programming. His book Software Forensics was published in 2004 and his chapter on the subject is in print in the Information Security Management Handbook as of the fifth edition.
Information security
Today Slade is a consultant to businesses and government—among his client list are Fortune 500 companies and the government of Canada—as well as to educational institutions. Slade creates seminars for local, federal and international training groups. He is a senior instructor for (ISC)² where he develops courses in information security and quality assurance (QA) for those who seek certification. Slade himself is one of the world's approximately 60,000 CISSPs, a certification used in private industry as well as, at least in the United States, in government and defense.
Slade moved his online security glossary in 2006 to the book Dictionary of Information Security |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary%20of%20backup%20terms | The subject of computer backups is rife with jargon and highly specialized terminology. This page is a glossary of backup terms that aims to clarify the meaning of such jargon and terminology.
Terms and definitions
3-2-1 Rule (or 3-2-1 Backup Strategy)
The idea that a minimal backup solution should include three copies of the data, including two local copies and one remote copy.
Backup policy
an organization's procedures and rules for ensuring that adequate numbers and types of backups are made, including suitably frequent testing of the process for restoring the original production system from the backup copies.
Backup rotation scheme
a method for effectively backing up data where multiple media are systematically moved from storage to usage in the backup process and back to storage. There are several different schemes. Each takes a different approach to balance the need for a long retention period with frequently backing up changes. Some schemes are more complicated than others.
Backup site
a place where business can continue after a data loss event. Such a site may have ready access to the backups or possibly even a continuously updated mirror.
Backup software
computer software applications that are used for performing the backing up of data, i.e., the systematic generation of backup copies. See also: List of backup software.
Backup window
the period of time that a system is available to perform a backup procedure. Backup procedures can have detrimental effects to system and network performance, sometimes requiring the primary use of the system to be suspended. These effects can be mitigated by arranging a backup window with the users or owners of the system(s).
Copy backup
backs up the selected files, but does not mark the files as backed up (reset the archive bit). This is found in the backup with Windows 2003.
Daily backup
incremental backup of files that have changed today
Data salvaging/recovery
the process of recovering data from storage devices when the normal operational methods are impossible. This process is typically performed by specialists in controlled environments with special tools. For example, a crashed hard disk may still have data on it even though it doesn't work properly. A data salvage specialist might be able to recover much of the original data by opening it up in a clean room and tinkering with the internal parts.
Differential backup
a cumulative backup of all changes made since the last full backup. The advantage to this is the quicker recovery time, requiring only a full backup and the latest differential backup to restore the system. The disadvantage is that for each day elapsed since the last full backup, more data needs to be backed up, especially if a majority of the data has been changed.
Disaster recovery
the process of recovering after a business disaster and restoring or recreating data. One of the main purposes of creating backups is to facilitate a successful disaster reco |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-office%20travel%20automation | Mid-office automation captures Passenger name record data from a variety of global distribution systems (Sabre, Galileo, Amadeus, and Worldspan) sources and lets travel agencies create custom business rules to validate reservation accuracy, monitor travel policies, perform file finishing, prepare itineraries/invoices and process ticketing.
Quality control software is used for such functions as ensuring reservations are formatted properly, checking for lower fares and watching for seat availability, upgrades, waitlist clearance, and taking advantage of back to back ticketing opportunities. When customized, such tools allow agencies and corporate accounts to monitor virtually any information in global distribution system passenger name records. Accelerating such tools also creates opportunities for customer relationship management. (a)
Mid-office automation is key to increasing the touchless rate of online adoption.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisAbled%20Women%27s%20Network%20Canada | DAWN Canada/Réseau d'action des femmes handicapées du Canada is a Canadian national feminist network controlled by and composed of people who self-identify as women with disabilities. The network also supports local and provincial chapters. DAWN is a member organization of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Canada's largest feminist organization.
History
The organization began on June 20–23, 1985, at a meeting of seventeen women from across Canada who came together to discuss issues of interest to women with various disabilities. The main purpose of this initial meeting was to plan a larger national gathering of disabled women who would then develop the organization's strategies and goals. Early groups formed in Prince Edward Island, Toronto, Halifax, British Columbia, and Montreal and in Winnipeg, that city's existing group for women with disabilities, the Consulting Committee on the Status of Women with Disabilities also joined the network.
Mission
DAWN Canada's mission is "to end the poverty, isolation, discrimination and violence experienced by women with disabilities, and to fight for women with disabilities to have freedom of choice in all aspects of their lives."
