https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Sky%20VIP%20Official%20Big%20Top%2040 | The Sky VIP Official Big Top 40 from Global is a radio chart show broadcast every Sunday from 4 to 7pm on Global's Capital and Heart networks, presented by Will Manning. It started on June 14th 2009. "When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland became the show's first number 1. There are 353 number one songs as of 8th October 2023 with the current being "Strangers" by Kenya Grace.
Format
The Sky VIP Official Big Top 40 from Global begins with a recap of the previous week's Top 10 songs, followed by a countdown of the 40 biggest songs from the last seven days. A recap is broadcast after every 10 songs, apart from the top 10 which they recap after every 9 songs. Interviews with the artists making that particular week's chart, competitions, calls with listeners and advertisements make up the remaining airtime. The number 1 song is announced just before 7pm.
The chart is compiled based on iTunes Music downloads, Apple Music Streaming, and radio airplay from the stations that broadcast the show. It is the only UK chart which includes radio airplay, much like the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. The algorithm differs to that of the Official UK Singles Chart, which includes physical sales, as well as downloads and streaming from all sourcesbut does not take radio airplay into account.
Will Manning is the programme's current host. He started on the show in January 2019. The show is produced by Luke Prior and broadcast from Global's studios in Leicester Square, London.
That week's chart gets published on its website after the show for fans to read.
History
It launched as The Big Top 40 Show on 14 June 2009. Between 2010 and 2018, the programme was sponsored by Vodafone, becoming The Vodafone Freebees Big Top 40 (later The Vodafone Big Top 40 and The Official Vodafone Big Top 40). For the first time, listeners could change the chart during the show by downloading tracks on iTunes. Songs 40 to 11 are played before the new Top 10 is finalised at 6:10pm, with iTunes sales during the show taken into account. This made it the first real-time chart show broadcast on UK radio.
In September 2018, Bauer announced that their Hits Radio Network would stop carrying the show after the expiration of its contract at the end of 2018. Global, which produced the show, made the decision to withdraw the programme from syndication to the wider commercial radio network. The final show across the commercial radio network aired on 30 December 2018. The relaunched show, The Official Big Top 40, started in January 2019 and is widely available on Capital and Heart.
In March 2022, the show gained a new sponsor and was renamed The Sky VIP Official Big Top 40.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEC%20Computers | GEC Computers Limited was a British computer manufacturing company under the GEC holding company from 1968 until the 1990s.
History
Starting life as Elliott Automation, in 1967–68 the data processing computer products were transferred to ICT/ICL and non-computing products to English Electric as part of a reorganisation of the parent company forced by the British Government. English Electric then merged into the GEC conglomerate in 1968.
Elliott Automation retained the real-time computing systems, the Elliott 900 series computers, and set about designing a new range of computer systems. The rules of the reorganisation did not allow Elliott Automation to continue working on data processing computing products for some years after the split (and similarly, prevented ICT/ICL working on real-time computing products). Three new computer ranges were identified, known internally as Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Alpha became the GEC 2050 8-bit minicomputer, and beta became the GEC 4080 16-bit minicomputer with its unique Nucleus feature. Gamma was never developed, so a few of its enhanced features were consequently pulled back into the GEC 4080.
The company's main product was the GEC 4000 series minicomputers, which were used by many other GEC and Marconi companies as the basis for real-time control systems in industrial and military applications. Development of new computers in the series continued through most of the life of the company. Other products manufactured in the earlier years were the GEC 2050, computer power supplies, and high resolution military computer displays, as well as the Elliott 900 series for existing Elliot customers. GEC Computers also found that some of the software applications it developed for its own use were saleable to other companies, such as its salary payment services, its multi-layer printed circuit board design software, and its project management software.
In the mid-1970s, GEC Computers was working on OS4000, a more advanced operating system for the GEC 4000 series. This opened up the 4000 series to more customers, including the academic and research communities. A number of collaborative projects were undertaken, some of which resulted in applications which GEC Computers developed further and sold, in addition to the sales of the computers themselves. One of the largest of these were X.25 packet switch systems, which resulted from a research collaboration with NERC.
In the late 1970s, Post Office Telecommunications developed Prestel on the GEC 4000 series, and this resulted in sales for similar applications all over the world.
In 1979, the company was awarded the Queen's Award for Technical Achievement for the development of the 4000 series, particularly Nucleus.
By 1980, OS4000 was becoming popular in UK academic and research organisations as a multi-user system, with installations at Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Daresbury Laboratory, Harwell Laboratory, NERC, Met Office, CERN, in many university physics and/or e |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIBE%20architecture | MIBE architecture (Motivated Independent BEhavior) is a behavior-based robot architecture developed at Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab of Politecnico di Milano by Fabio La Daga and Andrea Bonarini in 1998. MIBE architecture is based on the idea of animat and derived from subsumption architecture, formerly developed by Rodney Brooks and colleagues at MIT in 1986.
Description
MIBE architecture is based on the assumption that autonomy is grounded on motivation and arises from superimposition of synergetic activities in response to multiple drives. An autonomous agent is developed to achieve one or more goals (primary goals), but secondary goals also originate from environmental and functional constraints. MIBE architecture defines both primary and secondary goals as needs. A specific drive originates from each need. MIBE architecture generates and weights all these drives in an explicit motivational state. The higher the urgency to satisfy a specific need, the higher its weight in the motivational state and the higher the drive to perform a behavior that satisfies the given need.
Differences from subsumption architecture
MIBE architecture mainly departs from subsumption architecture due to the introduction of a top-level motivational structure which determines behavior priorities at run time. That is, there are not layers and static hierarchical dependencies between behavioral modules, but each behavior constantly competes with others for taking control of the agent through the top level motivational state from which specific drives originate (via predetermined or reinforcement-learned functions).
While subsumption architecture is built on a predetermined hierarchy of behavioral modules, MIBE architecture consists of a more complex structure, where several behaviors (that always compete for taking control of the robot via the motivational state) can activate and control dynamically an adaptive set of underlying modules, called abilities. Each behavior performs its task by activating and tuning the abilities it needs. Abilities supply the functional modules for performing specific activities and may activate each other in a hierarchical structure in the same way behaviors use abilities. Both behaviors and abilities are implemented by the same kind of functional modules, but a fundamental difference exists: behaviors are self-activating modules in response to a robot+environment state, whilst abilities are just functional blocks activated and controlled by behaviors for accomplishing their tasks (or by higher-level abilities that have been already activated by a behavior). Behaviors exist for satisfying specific needs, whilst abilities are not related to any need, because they are used by behaviors for accomplishing their tasks, but have no meaning alone.
The list of abilities needed by each module (behavior or ability) is represented by its activation tree; the complete set of activation trees can be represented by a system-wide acyclic |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%20National%20Highway%20216 | China National Highway 216 (G216) is a highway in Xinjiang and Tibet, China. With the 2013 National Highway Network Plan, the route was extended north to Hongzhanzui in Fuhai County on the border with Mongolia, and extended south to the boundary with Nepal in Gyirong County. Originally it ran in the general southern direction from Altay City, Xinjiang to Baluntai (in Hejing County, Xinjiang), where it joins China National Highway 218. It was originally 857 kilometres in length. After landslides blocked Zhangmu port of entry, for a while, G216 was the only road link between Nepal and Tibet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housekeeping%20%28computing%29 | In computer programming, housekeeping can refer to either a standard entry or exit routine appended to a user-written block of code (such as a subroutine or function, sometimes as a function prologue and epilogue) at its entry and exit or to any other automated or manual software process whereby a computer is cleaned up after usage (e.g. freeing resources such as virtual memory). This might include such activities as removing or archiving logs that the system has made as a result of the users activities, or deletion of temporary files which may otherwise simply take up space. Housekeeping can be described as a necessary chore, required to perform a particular computer's normal activity but not necessarily part of the algorithm. For cleaning up computer disk storage, utility software usually exists for this purpose such as data compression software - to "shrink" files and release disk space and defragmentation programs - to improve disk performance.
Examples
Housekeeping could include (but is not limited to) the following activities:
Saving and restoring program state for called functions (including general purpose registers and return address)
Obtaining local memory on the stack
Initializing local variables at the start of a program or function
Freeing local memory on the stack on exit from a function
Garbage collection
Data conversion
Backup and/or removal of un-needed files and software
Execution of disk maintenance utilities (e.g. ScanDisk, hard drive defragmenters, virus scanners)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberTracker%20%28film%29 | CyberTracker is a 1994 American science fiction action film written by Jacobsen Hart and directed by Richard Pepin. It stars Don 'The Dragon' Wilson with Richard Norton, Stacie Foster, Steve Burton, Abby Dalton and Jim Maniaci.
The film was followed by a 1995 direct-to-video sequel, CyberTracker 2, also starring Wilson, Foster, Burton and Maniaci.
Plot synopsis
In the future, Eric Anthony Phillips is the head of the Secret Service detachment assigned to protect Senator Bob Dilly (John Aprea). Senator Dilly is a champion of the recently implemented Computerized Judicial System (Computerized Justice for short), a product of Cybercore Industry, that uses data as evidence to determine the guilt of accused criminals, then carries out the sentence using cyborg executioners called "Trackers" (Maniaci).
However, the more Phillips learns about Dilly and the Cybercore's ruthless plans, the more uncomfortable he becomes and he refuses to go along with the murder of a corporate spy. This leads Dilly and Cybercore to frame Phillips with the murder as they activate a Tracker to execute him. Phillips defeats the Tracker but is taken by a group of underground rebels called the Union for Human Rights (UHR). The group is secretly led by popular news journalist Connie Griffith (Foster).
While being tracked by another Tracker and Dilly's head bodyguard (Norton), Phillips and Connie are able to break into Cybercore and steal secret files revealing that Sen. Dilly is in fact a cyborg. Phillips defeats the bodyguard and yet a third Tracker and then infiltrates a press conference to shoot Dilly, publicly revealing his mechanical nature. This, along with everything else UHR has discovered, causes the Computerized Judicial System to be shut down and Cybercore to collapse.

Production
Production company PM Entertainment said that by the 1990s, action film fans were demanding higher budgets from independent films. To compensate, the company hired less expensive talent to star in them. PM Entertainment budgeted these films at $1.5–5 million.
Reception
TV Guide rated it 2/4 stars and called it a Terminator knock-off with a better script than the typical low budget action film. In his science fiction film guide Outer Limits, author Howard Hughes wrote that the film has "some impressive explosions and car crashes", but the sets look "suspiciously like 1990s Los Angeles". The film was briefly touched upon by |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al%20Bruner | Al Bruner (1923 - 1987) was a Canadian television broadcaster, most noted as the co-founder of the Global Television Network.
Before Global
Bruner was born in Leamington, Ontario in 1923. In his early days Bruner sang in Wayne King's Detroit orchestra, but soon found his way into broadcasting by helping to establish the Toronto-based television station CFTO-TV, which went on the air in 1961. However, Bruner's eyes turned to Hamilton when the founder of CHCH-TV, Ken Soble, asked him to become the sales manager at his station, which had recently become disaffiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and was the first independent television station in Canada.
With the financial backing of Power Corporation of Canada, Soble put forward a proposal to the Board of Broadcast Governors in 1966 for a national television network which would broadcast by satellite, with CHCH as its flagship. Soble died just a few months after submitting his original proposal, and Bruner took over the application process. Power Corporation backed out of the application in 1969, and Bruner was fired from Niagara Television.
At Global Television
Along with Peter Hill, Bruner then founded Global Communications to continue the network license application. The new company was ultimately granted a six-transmitter network in southern Ontario, stretching from Windsor to Ottawa, in 1972, but could not obtain a transmitter that would reach Montreal. The network, which promised high levels of local content, launched on January 6, 1974. However, after three months in business the station ran into financial trouble and was purchased by Canwest.
After leaving Global, Bruner worked on devising broadcasting technology, and pitched his idea of local insertion, unheard of at the time, to the broadcasting community in New York. However, his ideas never reached fruition as he died in a New York post office of a heart attack in 1987.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile%20interaction | Mobile interaction is the study of interaction between mobile users and computers. Mobile interaction is an aspect of human–computer interaction that emerged when computers became small enough to enable mobile usage, around the 1990s.
Mobile devices are a pervasive part of people's everyday lives. People use mobile phones, PDAs, and portable media players almost everywhere. These devices are the first truly pervasive interaction devices that are currently used for a huge variety of services and applications. Mobile devices affect the way people interact, share, and communicate with others. They are growing in diversity and complexity, featuring new interaction paradigms, modalities, shapes, and purposes (e.g., e-readers, portable media players, handheld game consoles). The strong differentiating factors that characterize mobile devices from traditional personal computing (e.g., desktop computers), are their ubiquitous use, usual small size, and mixed interaction modalities.
The history of mobile interaction includes different design trends. The main six design trends are portability, miniaturization, connectivity, convergence, divergence, and application software (apps). The main reason behind those trends is to understand the requirements and needs of mobile users which is the main goal for mobile interaction. Mobile interaction is a multidisciplinary area with various academic subjects making contributions to it. The main disciplines involved in mobile interaction are psychology, computer science, sociology, design, and information systems. The processes in mobile interaction design includes three main activities: understanding users, developing prototype designs, and evaluation.
History
The history of mobile interaction can be divided into a number of eras, or waves, each characterized by a particular technological focus, interaction design trends, and by leading to fundamental changes in the design and use of mobile devices. Although not strictly sequential, they provide a good overview of the legacy on which current mobile computing research and design is built.
Portability
One of the first work in the mobile interaction discipline was the concept of the Dynabook by Alan Kay in 1968. However, at that time the necessary hardware to build such system was not available. When the first laptops were built in the early 1980s they were seen as transportable desktop computers.
Miniaturization
By the early 1990s, many types of handheld devices were introduced such as labelled palmtop computers, digital organizers, or personal digital assistants (PDAs).
Connectivity
By 1973, Martin Cooper worked at Motorola developed a handheld mobile phone concept, which later on by 1983, led to the introduction of the first commercial mobile phone called the DynaTAC 8000X.
Convergence
During this era, different types of specialized mobile devices started to converge into new types of hybrid devices with primarily different form factors and interaction |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taunton%20metro%20rail | Taunton Metro Rail (TMR) was a light rail network proposed in 2009 to use a combination of existing rail infrastructure and the construction of new infrastructure in and around Taunton, Somerset.
Proposal
Project Taunton, the authority responsible for Taunton's major regeneration project, revealed plans for TMR in 2009 as part of their transport sustainability plan. A feasibility proposal was to be drawn for Somerset County Council.
It was anticipated that TMR will be modelled against driverless systems such as London's Docklands Light Railway, providing an anticipated peak frequency of five trains per hour and an off-peak frequency of three trains per hour.
If implemented, the avoiding line in Taunton's Station Road would be used as a calling point, rather than integrating it to Taunton's National Rail station. Also, this will mean that Wellington's rail station would be reopened, which had been already proposed by the Conservative Party. The move to re-open Wellington's former rail station gained widespread support from local businesses and residents.
The proposal was due to be submitted in Autumn 2009. However, due to the economic climate and a lack of funding, this has been delayed until further notice.
History
Somerset once had a much more extensive rail network than today. However, many stations and routes were closed following the Reshaping of British Railways report of 1963. A tram system opened in 1901 serving Taunton but closed in 1921 due to a dispute about electricity costs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennonite%20Disaster%20Service | The Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) is a volunteer network through which various groups within the Anabaptist tradition assist people affected by disasters in North America. The organization was founded in 1950 and was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1993.
The MDS currently involves more than 3,000 members of the Mennonite, Amish and Brethren in Christ churches (BIC). The primary focus of the service is cleanup, repair, and the rebuilding of homes. The work of the group supplements the disaster relief provided by the Red Cross. The Mennonite Disaster Service also works closely with Mennonite Central Committee.
A quarterly newsletter called Behind the Hammer is published.
The volunteer amateur radio group Mennonet provides communication services for MDS. Radio equipment was first deployed by MDS in 1960.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eradicator%20%28video%20game%29 | Eradicator is a 1996 science fiction-themed video game developed by Accolade for MS-DOS compatible operating systems. The game was re-released on Steam in 2014 and on GOG.com in 2016 with support for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Gameplay
Players choose to play as one of three characters: Kamchak the alien Treydan warrior, human mine engineer Dan Blaze, and mercenary Eleena Brynstaarl. Players then have to complete a series of unique objectives and puzzles within each level. Perspective can be set between first and third-person, as well as additional options such as picture-in-picture. The game allows for the use of twenty different weapons through twenty five levels set within a mysteriously reactivated alien fortress on the planet Ioxia, source of the valuable mineral element Mazrium.
Eradicator also features the ability to remotely control various apparatus and projectiles, among other unique power ups. Areas are themed as defense and miscellaneous bases, factories and refineries, and biological research laboratories. Enemies are ground- and air-based cybernetic mechanisms and alien creatures. Visually and mechanically, the game is sector-based 2.5D, comparable to Doom and the contemporary Duke Nukem 3D. Multiplayer gameplay over modem and LAN is supported; the game includes several deathmatch levels.
Release
Tommo purchased the rights to this game and digitally publishes it through its Retroism brand in 2015. On February 26, 2016 it was released onto DRM-free retailer GOG.com with support for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux through DOSBox. Despite its limited uptake, the game received positive reviews from GameSpot and GameRevolution, as well as Coming Soon Magazine, The Computer Show and VrEOnline.
Development
The game was originally conceived by Joe Ybarra's Creative Insights as “Marble Madness with a 3rd-person view” with the player character being a frog, but this was scrapped in favour of the final darker design upon the project's purchase by Accolade. This brought about the game's conversion to first-person primacy, although the original wholly third-person design lived on in the game's emphasis on platforming. Some developers from the game went on to create Slave Zero, a similar third/first person hybrid. Voice actors were brought in from the game Deadlock: Planetary Conquest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramways%20in%20Ozork%C3%B3w | Trams in Ozorków are operated by MPK Łódź Sp. z o.o. They consist of a single line and are connected, through Zgierz, to the Łódź tram network, forming its part.
Line
(Łódź) – (Zgierz) – Zgierska – Wyszyńskiego – Konstytucji 3 Maja – Cegielniana
History
The Łódź–Ozorków line was opened in 1922 as an extension to the already existing Łódź–Zgierz. It was built and operated by Łódzkie Wąskotorowe Elektryczne Koleje Dojazdowe (Łódź Narrow-gauge Electric Commuter Railways). Initially it was operated by steam, electrification was completed in 1926. The line was technically compatible with the Łódź trams network (same gauge and electrification system), allowing interrunning, but the two were not connected, passengers had to change at interchange stops located near the city limits.
In 1948, both the companies owning and operating the city and suburban tram networks were nationalised and Łódź became responsible for the public tram transport in the area.
In the early 1970s, the last dedicated suburban rolling stock was withdrawn from service, since then the line was worked by the tramcars also used on the city network.
Political and economic changes after 1989 meant that a new approach to financing and running the public communication was necessary. The city became responsible for the public transport within the city limits, whereas the surrounding cities were expected to finance, and reach an agreement with the operator about, running the tram communication in their territories. Two cities – Ozorków and Zgierz – together with Łódź founded Międzygminna Komunikacja Tramwajowa Spółka z o.o. (Inter-gmina Tram Communication Ltd.) that became the operator of the services on the line. On 1 April 2012, MPK Łódź took over running the services.
The condition of the line became progressively worse to the point that it was necessary to suspend the running of trams. On 3 February 2018, the trams stopped running.
Gmina Zgierz, one of two rural local authorities that own the middle part of the line, has found it difficult to come up with funding for the works on its section. Nevertheless, Ozorków is committed to perform repair works on its territory and to restore tram services, provided that the other sections of the line, connecting it to Łódź tram network, are also restored.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After%20the%20Software%20Wars | After the Software Wars is a book by Keith Curtis about free software and its importance in the computing industry, specifically about its impact on Microsoft and the proprietary software development model.
The book is about the power of mass collaboration and possibilities of reaching up to a singular rationale showing successful collaborative examples in open source such as Linux and Wikipedia.
Keith Curtis attended the University of Michigan, but dropped out to work as a programmer for Microsoft after meeting Bill Gates in 1993. He worked there for 11 years, and then left after he found he was bored.
He then wrote and self-published After the Software Wars to explain the caliber of free and open source software and why he believes Linux is technically superior to any proprietary operating system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope2you | Pope2you was a website through which the Pope of the Catholic Church connected with people using Internet social networks and other sites to deliver his messages concerning current affairs, as well as some other important facts or stories.
Background
The site went live on May 25, 2009, on the occasion of the international day of mass media in the Catholic church. On its first day of existence, the website Pope2you.net received 500,000 visits. In 2012, the Vatican launched the official Twitter profile of the pope, @Pope2YouVatican (the username @Pope2You was already taken). In February 2013, after pope Benedict XVI stepped down, the Facebook app Pope2You was disabled. The Pope2you username was eventually replaced by the more conventional username Pontifex.
Pope2you was developed by the Reverend Paolo Padrini, consultant of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social Communications, who had successfully launched iBreviary, an application bringing the book of daily prayers to iPhones.
Today, the website pope2you.net belongs to a network of SEO-related websites, and is not the property of the Vatican anymore.
Description
Pope2you was available in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. The service was also available through a Facebook page, a Wiki cath and an iPhone app.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDCQ | KDCQ (92.9 FM, "K-Dock 92.9") is a radio station licensed to serve Coos Bay, Oregon, United States. The station, established in 1995, is owned by Bay Cities Building Company, Inc.
Programming
KDCQ broadcasts a classic hits music format to the greater Coos Bay and North Bend, Oregon, area. Local programming includes Lexi Ryan on middays and "Mike the Bear" on weekday afternoons. The remaining dayparts are covered by the "Classic Hits"-branded satellite-delivered oldies radio network from Cumulus.
History
The beginning
Bay Cities Building Company, Inc., received the original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission for a new FM station broadcasting with 2,500 watts of effective radiated power on a frequency of 93.5 MHz on September 1, 1994. The new station was assigned the KDCQ call sign by the FCC on December 1, 1994. KDCQ received its license to cover from the FCC on July 31, 1995.
Move to 92.9
In 2005 and 2006, KDCQ was part of a five-station frequency swap arranged by Salem Communications to allow it move KAST-FM at 92.9 MHz in Astoria, Oregon to sign-on new station KTRO-FM at 93.1 MHz in Portland, Oregon. KDCQ moved down the dial from 93.5 to 92.9 MHz, KKNU moved up from 93.1 to 93.3 MHz, KPDQ-FM moved from 93.7 to 93.9 MHz and reduced its effective radiated power from 100,000 to 50,000 watts, KTIL-FM moved from 94.1 to 94.3 MHz, and KAXQ moved way up from 94.3 to 99.7 MHz.
To accomplish its part of the move, KDCQ applied to the FCC in March 2005 for authorization to change broadcast frequencies from 93.5 to 92.9 MHz, relocate its transmitter site, change the antenna's height above average terrain to , and increase its effective radiated power to 4,500 watts. The FCC granted the station a new construction permit to authorize these changes on July 14, 2005. KDCQ made the switch to 92.9 MHz on January 28, 2006, operating under the program test authority granted by the construction permit. KDCQ received a license to cover these changes on May 2, 2006.
Fire
A fire broke out in the KDCQ transmitter building at 4:00pm on March 2, 2008. The blaze, which also affected five other local radio stations and a taxicab company, damaged the shared transmitter building, destroyed the phone lines and miscellaneous equipment, and ruined KDCQ's transmitting equipment. Engineers restored the station to operation on March 5, 2008, using leased equipment in a temporary building but at a reduced effective radiated power of just 500 watts. Bay Cities Building Company filed a notification of this change with the FCC on March 12, 2008.
On March 26, 2008, the station applied to the FCC for special temporary authority to remain at 500 watts for up to 60 days while issues with their insurance company were resolved and the main transmitter building and its equipment could be replaced. The FCC granted this authority on March 27, 2008, with a scheduled expiration date of June 27, 2008.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression%20problem | The expression problem is a challenging problem in programming languages that concerns the extensibility and modularity of statically typed data abstractions. The goal is to define a data abstraction that is extensible both in its representations and its behaviors, where one can add new representations and new behaviors to the data abstraction, without recompiling existing code, and while retaining static type safety (e.g., no casts). The statement of the problem exposes deficiencies in programming paradigms and programming languages, and is still considered unsolved, although there are many proposed solutions.
History
Philip Wadler formulated the challenge and named it "The Expression Problem" in response to a discussion with Rice University's Programming Languages Team (PLT).
He also cited three sources that defined the context for his challenge:
The problem was first observed by John Reynolds in 1975. Reynolds discussed two forms of Data Abstraction: User-defined Types, which are now known as Abstract Data Types (ADTs) (not to be confused with Algebraic Data Types), and Procedural Data Structures, which are now understood as a primitive form of Objects with only one method. He argued that they are complementary, in that User-defined Types could be extended with new behaviors, and Procedural Data Structures could be extended with new representations. He also discussed related work going back to 1967.
Fifteen years later in 1990, William Cook
applied Reynold's idea in the context of Objects and Abstract Data Types, which had both grown extensively. Cook identified the matrix of representations and behaviors that are implicit in a Data Abstraction, and discussed how ADTs are based on the behavioral axis, while Objects are based on the representation axis. He provides extensive discussion of work on ADTs and Objects that are relevant to the problem. He also reviewed implementations in both styles, discussed extensibility in both directions, and also identified the importance of static typing.
Most importantly, he discussed situations in which there was more flexibility than
Reynolds considered, including internalization and optimization of methods.
At ECOOP '98, Shriram Krishnamurthi et al. presented a design pattern solution to the problem of simultaneously extending an expression-oriented programming language and its tool-set. They dubbed it the "expressivity problem" because they thought programming language designers could use the problem to demonstrate the expressive power of their creations. For PLT, the problem had shown up in the construction of DrScheme, now DrRacket, and they solved it via a rediscovery of mixins. To avoid using a programming language problem in a paper about programming languages, Krishnamurthi et al. used an old geometry programming problem to explain their pattern-oriented solution. In conversations with Felleisen and Krishnamurthi after the ECOOP presentation, Wadler understood the PL-centric nature of the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick%20J.%20Adams | Patrick Johannes Adams (born August 27, 1981) is a Canadian actor and director. He is known for playing Mike Ross, a college dropout turned unlicensed lawyer in USA Network's series Suits. For his role in Suits, Adams was nominated in 2012 for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series at the 18th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Early life and education
Adams was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His mother is Rowan Marsh. His father is journalist Claude Adams. He attended Northern Secondary School.
Following his parents' divorce, Adams moved from Toronto to Los Angeles at age 19, where he attended the University of Southern California, earning a BFA. After earning the Jack Nicholson Award in 2004, which provided scholarships directly funded by the eponymous actor to outstanding performers at the school, and earning his BFA, he immediately began working on a production of Edward Albee's The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? at the Mark Taper Forum.
Acting career
Television
Adams appeared in episodes of Cold Case, Pretty Little Liars, Jack & Bobby, and has since had roles in Lost, Friday Night Lights, Without a Trace, Commander in Chief, Heartland, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, Cupid, Luck, Raising the Bar, Legends of Tomorrow, Lie to Me and Suits. He starred as twin brothers in the 2008 ABC pilot Good Behavior, executive produced by Rob Thomas. In 2009, he signed for the male lead in the one-hour drama The Dealership, starring opposite Tricia Helfer and William Devane. His television appearances grew over the next few years, from guest appearances on Numb3rs to a recurring role as a love interest for Adrianne Palicki on Friday Night Lights and leads in TV features like the romantic comedy Christmas in Boston.
In 2007, he moved up to guest appearances on top-rated shows like Lost, where he played a young man who sought out John Locke (played by Terry O'Quinn). He also maintained his presence in the Los Angeles theater scene, most notably with an award-winning production of "Marat/Sade," which he produced and directed for the Blue House Theatre Company. In 2010, Adams guest starred in Pretty Little Liars, in the 5th episode: "Reality Bites Me", as Ezra Fitz's college friend, Hardy.
In mid-2011, he began starring in the co-lead role of Mike Ross in Suits on the basic-cable USA Network, after being fired from the pilot of NBC's Friends With Benefits.
He garnered much acclaim for his role in the series, which continued through its seventh season in 2017–18. Beginning in Season 3, Adams was listed as a co-producer of Suits (with co-star Gabriel Macht), and directed some episodes. On January 30, 2018, it was announced Adams was departing from the show following the completion of its seventh season. He appeared in HBO's 2012 TV series Luck as recurring character Nathan Israel.
In 2016, Adams was cast as Hourman in the TV series Legends of Tomorrow. Playing the Rex Tyler iteration, he appeared at the end of the season 1 finale before being killed off |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog%20board | An analog board is a circuit board that contains the majority of analog circuitry in certain Apple Macintosh computers. The analog board was one of two circuit boards within many early Macintosh computers, including the Macintosh 128K/512K/Plus, Macintosh SE series, and Macintosh Classic series. The analog board contained several capacitors, a battery compartment, and some other analog circuitry. Some later all-in-one Macintosh computers also included analog boards, with the most recent being the iMac G3 and eMac. In these computers, the analog board functioned as the power supply to other parts within the system, and also functioned to control the CRT display within the computer. The other board was the logic board, which contained all of the computer's digital logic circuitry, such as the processor and memory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livingston%20Robotics%20Club | Livingston Robotics Club (LRC) is a robotics club in Livingston, New Jersey, that provides a community network to introduce Livingston area youth to robotics design and real-life science research, consistent with the vision of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). LRC is known for its member teams as winners at state, national, and international FIRST LEGO League (FLL) competitions.
History
The initiative to form a robotics club in Livingston was conceived when a team called Landroids was formed in 2007 to compete in FIRST LEGO League. LRC was formed with one team during 2007-2008 seasons. With Landroids' success in that season, LRC gained wider recognition especially in the local community. It later became a member of Healthy Community Healthy Youth Initiative of Livingston – a non-profit community organization with a goal to enhance the lives of children in Livingston – in order to promote its expansion and to become eligible to receive corporate sponsorships.
Member Teams
LRC encourages forming new teams in the community. It has provided guidance and resources for starting robotics team. There were four teams in LRC during 2008-2009 season, expanded to 17 teams throughout NJ from Jr. FLL to FTC divisions, with more than 100 students and two dozen parent coaches in the 2011-2012 season.
Landroids
Landroids was formed in August 2007 by six 6th and 5th grade students from Livingston New Jersey area, and their parents. Originally registered under the name of Lancer Robotics Club following Livingston’s tradition to name teams in the town as Lancer, it was later formalized as "Livingston Robotics Club" at the end of 2007. Landroids is led by John Yeh for robotics design and Pearl Hwang in project research and jugding. Landroids is considered the founding team of Livingston Robotics Club (LRC), instrumental in promoting the FIRST to general public in New Jersey and worldwide.
Landroids has received many top national and international awards since its formation, including two times NJ State FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 1st place Champion's Awards in 2007, 2008; 2nd and 3rd place awards in Robot Design and Robot Performance in the 2008 FIRST Championship; 1st place Championship's Award and Founder's Award at the 2009 FIRST LEGO League U.S. Open Championship – the highest award for FLL open championship in the United States; 1st place National 8th grade award from the US Army sponsored eCybermission for the team's science research in 2010; 1st place NJ State eCYBERMISSION award in 2011. In 2010, the team also took 1st place in the international Google X-PRIZE LEGO Mindstorms sponsored MoonBots competition and was invited by LEGO Group to visit Denmark as their grand prize MoonBots award.
Landroids members had also compiled and conducted a 5-week long FLL orientation in a "kids teaching kids" format to mentor eight new FLL teams throughout NJ during the summer of 2009. This PowerPoint presentation was later translated to T |

Production
The series was based on the eponymously popular radio drama series in Cebu in the 1970s which was created by Rey Benedicto and Raynee Salgado. Anna Liza premiered in 1980 under a direction by Gil C. Soriano, and received the attention of thousands of Filipinos—making it one of the most popular and well-loved drama series of all time. It served as a competitor of RPN's Flordeluna, starring Janice de Belen and led to the showbiz rivalry between Vega and de Belen (despite being highlighted as bestfriends offscreen).
The series ended because of Julie Vega's sudden death, resulting in the serial having incomplete storyline and Anna Liza got its TV ratings of 54% by PSRC on its final episode. It was replaced by Mirasol del Cielo.
Remake
In 2013, ABS-CBN remade Anna Liza after the rights of the said drama series was bought from its original director, Gil C. Soriano. Andrea Brillantes played the lead role.

The service uses the Altstetten–Zürich–Oerlikon cross-city line, opened in 2015 and including the Weinberg Tunnel, between Altstetten and Oerlikon.
Rolling stock
Initially, all services were operated by Re 450 class locomotives pushing or pulling double-deck passenger carriages. RABe 514 class multiple units began displacing the push-pull sets in 2008. all services are operated with Re 450 locomotives and double-deck coaches.
Scheduling
The train frequency is usually 30 minutes and the trip takes 70 minutes.
History
Originally the S14 started in the terminal platforms at Zürich Hauptbahnhof, and ran via the Wipkingen Tunnel to Oerlikon and on to Hinwil. With the completion of the Altstetten–Zürich–Oerlikon cross-city line in 2015, it was diverted at Oerlikon to use the Weinberg Tunnel and the low-level through platforms of the Hauptbahnhof, before being extended to Affoltern am Albis to replace the S15 which was in turn diverted elsewhere. This diversion and extension means that the line no longer serves the railway stations of Wipkingen (on the original S14 route) and doesn't serve Hardbrücke (on the original S15 route).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell%20Global%20Identity | Cell Global Identity (CGI) is a globally unique identifier for a Base Transceiver Station in mobile phone networks. It consists of four parts: Mobile Country Code (MCC), Mobile Network Code (MNC), Location Area Code (LAC) and Cell Identification (CI). It is an integral part of 3GPP specifications for mobile networks, for example, for identifying individual base stations to "handover" ongoing phone calls between separately controlled base stations, or between different mobile technologies.
MCC and MNC make up a PLMN identifier, and PLMN and LAC make up a location area identity (LAI), which uniquely identifies a Location Area of a given operator's network. So a CGI can be seen as a LAI with added Cell Identification, to further identify the individual base station of that Location Area.
Overview
a CGI (e.g. 001-02-3-4) consists of:
a LAI (001-02-3), which consists of:
a PLMN (001-02), which consists of:
MCC (001)
MNC (02)
and a LAC (03),
and a CI (4)
Examples
These are merely contrived examples and do not necessarily represent real cells (see the list of Mobile Country Codes and ).
001-01-1-1: 001-01 is a PLMN designated for testing purposes, with location area 1 and cell 1.
289-88-23-42: would identify cell 42 in location area 23 of the A-Mobile operator in Abkhazia
648-03-65535-65535: would represent the highest possible CI and LAC numbers of the Telecel operator in Zimbabwe
Note that an MNC can be of two-digit form and three-digit form with leading zeros, so that 01 and 001 are actually two distinct MNCs. Hence the CGIs 001-02-3-4 and 001-002-3-4 would be two completely unrelated cells, which would be in the same country, but belong to two completely distinct operators (02 and 002). From PLMN assignments, it is apparent that such dualities of two-digit and three-digit MNCs with the same number value are avoided. An example for an actual three-digit MNC with leading zeros is 750-001, of the operator Cable and Wireless South Atlantic Ltd (Falkland Islands).
Geographic location
A more specific application of the CGI is to roughly determine a mobile phone's geographical position. If a cell phone is connected to a GSM network then the position of that particular cell phone can be determined using CGI of the cell which is covering that cell phone. There is a series of related technologies that were developed based on CGI that enhances the location precision: Cell Global Identity with Timing Advance (CGI+TA), Enhanced CGI (E-CGI), Cell ID for WCDMA, Uplink Time Difference Of Arrival (U-TDOA) and Any Time Interrogation (ATI), and the high accuracy terminal based method Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented%20software%20engineering | Service-oriented Software Engineering (SOSE), also referred to as service engineering, is a software engineering methodology focused on the development of software systems by composition of reusable services (service-orientation) often provided by other service providers. Since it involves composition, it shares many characteristics of component-based software engineering, the composition of software systems from reusable components, but it adds the ability to dynamically locate necessary services at run-time. These services may be provided by others as web services, but the essential element is the dynamic nature of the connection between the service users and the service providers.
Service-oriented interaction pattern
There are three types of actors in a service-oriented interaction: service providers, service users and service registries. They participate in a dynamic collaboration which can vary from time to time. Service providers are software services that publish their capabilities and availability with service registries. Service users are software systems (which may be services themselves) that accomplish some task through the use of services provided by service providers. Service users use service registries to discover and locate the service providers they can use. This discovery and location occurs dynamically when the service user requests them from a service registry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie%20and%20the%20Three%20Musketeers | Barbie and the Three Musketeers is a 2009 computer-animated fantasy film. It was released to DVD on September 15, 2009, and made its television premiere on Nickelodeon on November 22, 2009.
This film is the sixteenth entry in the Barbie film series. It features the voice of Kelly Sheridan as Corinne d'Artagnan (played by Barbie) and is based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.
Plot
In 1600s-era France, a seventeen-year-old girl named Corinne (played by Barbie), who lives on a farm with her mother, dreams of becoming a Musketeer like her father D'Artagnan. Her kitten Miette dreams of becoming a "mus-cat-eer".
Unfortunately, when they make it to Paris, things do not turn out as Corinne hoped. She is made fun of by other people, especially the Prince's cousin and advisor, Phillippe. His dog, Brutus, steals her letter to Monsieur Treville and flees to the castle. Corinne gets it back, but Brutus damages it. After having a conversation with Treville, he tells her she is not ready. However, the wicked Brutus chases Miette towards the castle, making a worse scenario with three palace maids. Corinne encounters Madame de Bosse, who hires her as another palace maid. After a hard day, one of the maids, Aramina (played by Summer), convinces the other two, Viveca (played by Teresa) and Renee (played by Nikki), to let Corinne and Miette stay. They befriend each other and forgive her for what happened.
The next day at work, Corinne meets Prince Louis for the first time. After talking to Phillippe about his hot-air balloon invention, a chandelier drops and almost crushes Louis but he moves just in time. Corinne, Viveca, Aramina and Renee show off their musketeer skills to defend themselves from the chandelier fragments. Corinne finds a gem next to the chandelier rope which appears to have been cut. Corinne tells her friends about her dream to become a musketeer and three girls excitedly reveal they also have the same dream.
The old maid, Helen, overhears their conversation and takes them through a secret passageway, where she leads them to the old forgotten musketeer's training room and agrees to train the four girls to be true musketeers.
One day, while Corinne is cleaning, she spots Louis hanging from his flying hot-air balloon and saves his life. He thanks her and they immediately fall in love. While on the balloon, she sees the rope attached has been cut, just like the chandelier. When Louis confusedly says girls can't be musketeers, Corinne storms off angrily and tells her friends what happened. Helen warns them to keep eyes and ears open for enemies, otherwise Prince Louis will be in grave danger. Miette sneaks into the castle, with the help of Corinne's horse Alexander, to join training with Corinne and her friends. Finally, their training is completed.
One night, Corinne, Viveca, Aramina, and Renee decide to celebrate their musketeer skills. While walking through the dark, deserted streets, they encounter men led by a man na |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval%20Kings%20Chess%20II | Medieval Kings Chess II (MKC2) is a networked multiplayer chess game developed and published by Magmic Games primarily for mobile devices. This game was originally released in 2005 for BlackBerry, but has since been ported to Java and Windows Mobile handsets.
Game Play
Medieval Kings Chess II is a classic chess game in which the player may choose to play against the artificial intelligence engine or against another player via the network play feature. To challenge other players, a player can set up a public or private game and invite friends to join, or join existing public or private games (via a password). Players can play up to 15 simultaneous games at one time.
Multiplayer match results are tracked on Magmic's multiplayer servers, and become part of the player's profile.
Elo Rating
While not originally part of MKC2, Magmic added a method of tracking players' Elo ratings with the launch of Magmic Social, a community site created to provide support and foster engagement with all Magmic titles and brands. As matches are completed, the win/loss information is used to calculate a current Elo rating for a player.
Browser Play
With the launch of MKC2, Magmic introduced one of the first mobile games to cross over to the desktop browser with a Java-powered version of the game in the microsite. This in-browser version allows multiplayer play using the same networked environment as the mobile version. However, only one game can be played at a time using the browser version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand%20signal%20repository | Demand signal repository (DSR) is the data warehouse designed to integrate and cleanse demand data, and leverage that data to consumer goods manufacturers, service retailers, and end customers efficiently. Cleansing it and synchronizing it with syndicated and internal data allows companies to provide business users with a more complete view of their retail performance. The repository itself is a database that stores the information in a format that allows for easy retrieval of information so that users can quickly query the database to identify what's selling, where, when and how. Identifying Out-of-Stock's (OOS's) is a requirement. Leveraging that data to perform predictive analytics is where applications actually leverage POS within their data model to help identify both current and potential impact.
With the right architecture, a DSR will grow with the business needs. It will be leveraged across multiple business groups including category management, supply chain, inventory management, promotion and event management, sales, marketing, etc.
Users should be able to use any tools needed for their specific job requirements. If they can't, then you have a point solution that is proprietary and not a true DSR. An open architecture should have an intuitive user interface that lets users easily get reports to help them understand their sales, manage category and brand information, etc. Users should easily be able to drag, drop and drill into information. They should be able to pull data from multiple data sets, share reports securely, create alerts, etc. In addition, users that have specific job requirements, such as price elasticity or analyzing promotional ROI, etc. that aren't handled in their DSR may have an alternate tool they need to use which leverages POS data. A properly designed DSR will allow other tools (in addition to their own tool) to leverage POS data.
Alerts will pin-point areas of the business that require immediate attention. The goal of a DSR is to provide faster access to more information, improve retailer relationships, maximize ROI, streamline internal efficiencies, and improve performance at all stages of the supply chain and support multiple departments and teams.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Hit%20Music%20Network | The Hit Music Network was a collection of five Independent Local Radio stations operating in the United Kingdom and owned by Global Radio. Created on 25 June 2008, the stations were formerly owned by GCap Media prior to its takeover by Global and, with the exception of 95.8 Capital FM, were all part of The One Network. Initially the network included Trent FM, Ram FM, Leicester Sound, Mercia FM, and Beacon Radio Wolverhampton until the latter two we removed as they were part of the disposal by Global Radio after the GCap Media purchase and purchased by Orion Media. Mercury FM Crawley, Ten 17 in Harlow and Hertfordshire's Mercury 96.6 joined the Hit Music Network at that point, until 26 July 2010. Red Dragon FM in South Wales, whilst part of the Hit Music Network, remained local 24 hours a day taking none of the network programmes (except the Big Top 40).
Its core audience was 18- to 34-year-olds.
Networked programming originated from Trent FM's studios in Chapel Quarter, Nottingham under Programme Director Dick Stone.
The network was rebranded and merged with The Galaxy Network in January 2011 to form 'The Capital FM Network', comprising eight stations in London, Scotland, South East Wales, the West & East Midlands and northern & southern England broadcasting under the Capital FM identity. Local programming on the stations is restricted to daily breakfast and weekday drivetime shows (alongside some local specialist output) with Trent FM, Leicester Sound and Ram FM merged to form Capital FM East Midlands from Nottingham.
History
The One Network was formed following the merger of GWR Group and Capital Radio in 2005, merging GWR's Mix Network with Capital's Capital FM Network and was relaunched in September 2007.
In 2008, Global Radio acquired GCap and announced plans to break up the One Network, with most stations being rebranded as Heart, one becoming a Galaxy station and the remaining others retaining their 'heritage' brand as a new network (mainly as the stations overlapped with existing Heart stations).
On Air
A schedule containing network shows - from Trent FM's studios in Nottingham - and local shows at various times was set for The Hit Music Network, but did not operate on 95.8 Capital FM in London or Red Dragon FM in South East Wales. The Big Top 40 Show was broadcast throughout the whole of the Hit Music Network.
The Hit Music Network was renowned for its high rotation of songs and tight presentation. The presenters often ensured the most songs possible were played in an hour. This was a direct contrast to the BBCs CHR station Radio 1, where the presenters stop music and have longer 'personality' links, as opposed to the speedlinks of the Hit Music Network. Unlike Radio 1, the network did not play alternative, rock or classic hits music.

On Monday 3 January 2011, all Hit Music Network & Galaxy Network stations were rebranded as "Capital FM", forming a new Capital FM Network. All programming with the exception of br |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroy%20Build%20Destroy | Destroy Build Destroy is an American live action reality series on Cartoon Network hosted by Andrew W.K. It was a game show, in which two teams destroyed a random object and built vehicles from it, and then the winners destroyed the losers' creation. The series originally premiered as part of a line of live-action reality series called CN Real, which aired in 2009. The series premiered on June 20, 2009, and ended its run on September 21, 2011.
Destroy Build Destroy is one of only two shows from the CN Real block (the other being Dude, What Would Happen) to have been renewed for additional seasons, as the other CN Real shows had already been cancelled earlier, due to critically negative reception.
Plot
Destroy Build Destroy is a game show in which two groups (a "green or blue" team and an "orange or yellow" team, usually grouped by theme such as common interests) of three teenage contestants destroy various objects, then build vehicles out of the wreckage to compete in some kind of challenge. The show features high powered explosives, rocket launchers, bazookas, and other destructive tools. The winning team gets $3,000 and would get to destroy the losers' creation. However, if a tie occurs by the end of the final round, resulting in neither team winning, both vehicles are destroyed.
Development
The show launched on June 20, 2009, in Carver, Massachusetts, as part of a new Cartoon Network programming block named CN Real.
Destroy Build Destroy was produced by Mess Media in association with Idiot Box Productions. The executive producers are Dan Taberski and Scott Messick.
The second season of the show premiered on November 4, 2009, and ranked #1 in its timeslot among boys 6–11 on all television with a total of 2.1 million watching each episode.
Destroy Build Destroy was listed as one of the returning shows on Cartoon Network for 2010–2011 television season. The third season began airing on October 6, 2010.
A fourth season was ordered and aired from June to September 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dug%27s%20Special%20Mission | Dug's Special Mission is a 2009 American computer-animated short film, directed by Ronnie del Carmen. It is tied into and included on the Blu-ray/DVD releases of Up and Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 2.
According to Jonas Rivera, the producer of Pixar's film Up, Dug's Special Mission "is a little bit of the backstory of what Dug was actually doing out there on this mysterious mission when we meet him [in Up]". In the short, Dug is instructed on how to catch the bird (which he names Kevin) by Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, but their instructions are really intended to keep Dug away from them.
Production
Ronnie del Carmen explained "Dug was created very early in the development of the movie idea, even earlier than Russell", but little was known about his character on top of his supporting role, such as how or why he spoke. It was kept this way in Up because the writers wanted to keep the focus on Carl. After further developing Dug, it was decided that stories could be told about him beyond the film due to his lovable personality. The purpose of Dug's Special Mission was to tell Dug's story, as he "arrives in Up talking about being on a special mission, and we never talked about it again in the movie", which made Carmen inquisitive. He worked with Pete Docter and Bob Peterson on the film, and noted "their involvement was crucial since the three of us were always part of telling the larger story of the movie", and so they had similar sensibilities toward the Up universe. While Docter offered suggestions on the direction the short could go, Peterson provided insight into how Dug should be animated through his "funny nuances" because, Carmen explains, "as animators we gravitate to communicating visually and through behavior". Peterson was the person who created, voiced, and wrote most of Dug, and during the recording he improvised and experimented, with many of these humorous takes ending up in the final film. Carmen noted "there were many lines and quips that Bob Peterson did during recording that I could have used but had to leave out." An extra reference for the animation was Carmen's own German Shepherd when he was growing up. Added inspiration for the Dug scenes came from various Pixar crew members, including John Lasseter.<ref name="animatedviews.com">{{cite web |url=http://animatedviews.com/2009/up-rising-with-story-artist-and-dugs-special-missions-director-ronnie-del-carmen/ |title=Up:rising with Story Artist and Dug's Special Mission'''s Director Ronnie del Carmen! |website=Animated Views |date=November 26, 2009 |first=Jérémie |last=Noyer |access-date=October 5, 2014}}</ref>
Carmen wrote the story and dialogue for Dug's Special Mission. He "had the idea for the short as soon as the movie was in production, right around the layout phase [and] storyboarded a rough version quickly and pitched it to Jonas Rivera and Pete Docter around late spring 2008". He assumed once finishing working on the story for Up, he could move into a short. However, t |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessed%20%28TV%20series%29 | Obsessed is an American documentary series that began airing on the A&E Network on May 29, 2009. The series depicts the real-life struggle and treatment of people with anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and general anxiety disorder.
Robert Sharenow of A&E has said about the show "The series sheds a light on the vast world of anxiety disorders, while offering those who suffer from these debilitating afflictions a path to recovery..."
Critical reaction
Variety's online review of the show is mixed. It refers to the first half of the show as "providing a kind of voyeuristic carnival element" but later on in the review states that the producers make the show "mostly about the pain and loneliness of such disorders; it's not strictly a freak show".
Website PopMatters' review of the show concludes with saying the show "falls short" which "has to do both with the complexity of these conditions and its own limited, conventional means of conveying subjective states. "
Format
The first portion of each episode is dedicated to showing how each subject is affected by their disorder. The second portion of each episode shows the subjects undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy to treat their disorder.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth%20Climate%20Movement | The Youth Climate Movement (YouNGO) or International Youth Climate Movement (IYCM) refers to an international network of youth organisations that collectively aims to inspire, empower and mobilise a generational movement of young people to take positive action on climate change.
Organisation
Formation
Since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, individual youth have been participating in international negotiations related to different environmental and sustainable development issues. With the formation of the European Youth Forum in 1996, and the U.S. youth organization SustainUS in 2001, youth-run organizations began to send delegations of youth to actively participation in these various worldwide negotiations, principally through the United Nations. Individual youth had been participating in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and with the new level of youth organization participation in international negotiations, youth organizations began to identify the UN climate negotiations as a new forum to increase youth participation in.
From November 28 to December 9, 2005, the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Convention (COP 11 or COP/MOP 1) took place at the Palais des congrès de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Youth delegations from member nations, including the United States (via SustainUS), Canada, and Australia, attended to advocate on behalf of young people. As a result, the concept of the International Youth Climate Movement was first developed, though it was originally referred to as the International Youth Delegation, referring to the youth delegates at the international climate negotiations.
Following on from this in September 2006, the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition was launched, consisting of 48 youth organisations from across the nation. This was soon followed by the Australian Youth Climate Coalition in November, which itself was a coalition of 27 youth organisations from across Australia.
In March 2008, the Indian Youth Climate Network joined the Global Youth Climate Movement whilst in June 2008, the United Kingdom ambassadors to the World Wide Fund for Nature's Voyage for the Future programme, Emma Biermann and Casper ter Kuile, created the UK Youth Climate Coalition (UKYCC), after returning from the Arctic to witness the impact of climate change. More recently, coalitions in Africa, China, Japan, Pacific Islands and South Asia have been established with the same mission statement as the International Youth Climate Movement.

Across the world, there are youth organisations who have formed coalitions to take positive action on climate change, such as the UK Youth Climate Coalition, which are led entirely by a team of young people. Each Climate Coalition or Climate Network is affiliated to a regional or continental movement. These movements include the African Youth Initiative on Climate Change; Caribbean Youth Environmental Network; European Youth Climate Movement; Project Survival Pacific; Nor |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCdostbahn | The Südostbahn (German, literally meaning "South-Eastern Railway") – commonly abbreviated to SOB – is a Swiss railway company, and a network in Central and Eastern Switzerland. It resulted from the merger of the original SOB with the Bodensee–Toggenburg railway (BT) at the end of 2001.
The Schweizerische Südostbahn AG (Swiss South-Eastern Railway SA) is a small private railway jointly owned by the cantonal and federal governments as an Aktiengesellschaft (AG).
Network
The rail network of the Südostbahn (SOB) consists of that formerly owned by BT in northeast Switzerland (between Lake Constance and Toggenburg):
Romanshorn–St. Gallen St. Fiden line,
St. Gallen–Herisau–Degersheim–Wattwil line, and
(Wattwil–)Ebnat-Kappel–Krummenau–Nesslau-Neu Sankt Johann line,
and that previously owned by the original SOB located predominantly in Central Switzerland:
Rapperswil–Pfäffikon SZ line,
Pfäffikon SZ–Freienbach SOB–Wollerau–Samstagern–Schindellegi-Feusisberg–Biberbrugg–Altmatt–Rothenthurm–Biberegg–Sattel-Aegeri–Steinerberg–Arth-Goldau line, and
Einsiedeln–Biberbrugg–Schindellegi-Feusisberg–Samstagern–Wädenswil line.
Since 2006, SOB also owns Wattwil station and the railway from Wattwil to Ebnat-Kappel, which until then belonged to SBB CFF FFS. The railway stations of Romanshorn, St. Gallen, and Pfäffikon SZ, and the railway tracks between St. Gallen St. Fiden–St. Gallen, Wattwil (except railway station)–Rapperswil, and Arth-Goldau–Luzern are owned by Swiss Federal Railways, but are used by SOB for its services.
In total, the SOB network measures , and comprises the following lines:
Romanshorn – St. Gallen St. Fiden ()
St. Gallen – Wattwil – Nesslau-Neu St. Johann ()
Rapperswil – Pfäffikon SZ (Seedamm) ()
Pfäffikon SZ – Arth-Goldau (, including common with Wädenswil–Einsiedeln)
Wädenswil – Einsiedeln ()
The adhesion railway network spreads over mountainous terrain, with a maximum slope of 50‰ (5 %) between Wädenswil/Pfäffikon SZ and Biberbrugg, and between Rothenthurm and Arth-Goldau. The lowest altitude on the SOB network is found at Romanshorn ( a.s.l.), and the highest at Biberegg ( a.s.l.), between Rothenthurm and Sattel-Aegeri. The highest elevation on the section between Nesslau-Neu St. Johann and St. Gallen is reached near Degersheim ( a.s.l.).
The network is mostly a single-track railway, with intermittent double-tracks ( in total) present in sections where trains cross regularly. The entire network is electrified since 1939.
Infrastructure
The direct connection from Bodensee via Zürichsee towards Vierwaldstättersee, which follows the Alpine foothills, was achieved by numerous civil engineering works. These consist of a series of viaducts and tunnels. Engineering structures account for one eighth of the total SOB rail network. They comprise:
177 bridges spanning a total of , and
19 tunnels through of mountains.
One of the viaducts, the high and long Sitter Viaduct (SOB) near St. Gallen Haggen, is the highest railway b |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Campaign%20for%20Nonviolent%20Resistance | Founded in 2002, the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (NCNR) is a network of individuals and organizations in the United States committed to ending the war in Iraq, using the nonviolent practices and disciplines of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. through nonviolent resistance.
According to its Website, the coalition failed to prevent the start of the Iraq War in March 2003, but it continues "to engage in nonviolent direct action to end the war and the occupation. The group was founded as the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, and in expanding its focus, became the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance.
"As a group with lots of direct action experience, NCNR has consistently encouraged organizations and individuals to recognize the difference between civil disobedience and civil resistance. We see the difference as being important in the struggle for nonviolent, positive social change."
Instead of breaking unjust laws in order to bring attention to injustice, actions organized and initiated by NCNR focus on highlighting the illegal policies and practices of the government and elected and appointed decision makers. Typically NCNR participants go to court in order to continue to speak out against the unlawful conduct of government officials in pursuing aggressive wars.
Among the largest and most significant of NCNR's acts of civil resistance was the September 26, 2005 action at the White House sidewalk, with Cindy Sheehan, following a major anti-war mobilization. Although United for Peace and Justice joined and promoted this action, it was mostly organized by NCNR.
Other NCNR nonviolent civil resistance actions have included acting with Christian Peace Witness - Iraq in September 2006, and a campaign around funding for the Iraq war with Kathy Kelly's Voices for Creative Nonviolence dubbed the Occupation Project in 2007.
NCNR has a close-knit organizing committee, and typically one convener to help facilitate organizing calls and speak for the network. NCNR's first convener was Gordon Clark. Other peace activists associated with NCNR are Eve Tetaz, Malachy Kilbride and Pete Perry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Rail%20Route%205%20%28West%20Anglia%29 | Strategic Route 5 - West Anglia was the designation given by Network Rail, from 2004 to 2009, to a grouping of railway lines in the East of England that encompassed the West Anglia Main Line and its various branch lines. The route provided key services to Cambridge and Stansted Airport as well as supporting suburban services in North London and rural services in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
In 2010, Network Rail restructured its route categorisation. Routes 5 and 7 were merged into Strategic Route D: East Anglia.
Strategic route sections
The Route was divided into a number of separate Strategic Route Sections (SRS's) that were defined based on route use, infrastructure and historical lines.
Railway planning
As part of Network Rail's Strategic Business Plan a Route Plan for each route, including Route 5, was published annually. The Route 5 plans for 2008 and 2009 are made available online.
Together with Route 7 - Great Eastern and Route 6 - North London Line and Thameside, the route was included in the Greater Anglia Route Utilisation Strategy.
Proposed developments
The Greater Anglia RUS includes a number of proposals for the future development of the route.
In the medium term, 2009–14, this includes minor infrastructure works and additional rolling stock to allow main line peak-service trains to be extended to 12-car formation. A number of developments are also intended for the West Coast Main Line depending on the status of future development at Stansted Airport. Enhancements to the power supply of the route are intended for completion by 2012 to interface with those carried out on Route 6 and Route 7.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Effectiveness%20Ratio | In telecommunications, the Network Effectiveness Ratio (NER) measures the ability of a network to deliver a call to the called terminal. Busy signals and other call failure due to user behaviour are counted as "successful call delivery" for NER calculation purposes. Unlike ASR, NER excludes the effects of customer and terminal behaviour. NER is a measure of network quality defined by the ITU.
In general, the Network Effective Ratio is used to calculate the effectiveness of the internal interconnect routes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beit%20Guvrin-Maresha%20National%20Park | Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park is a national park in central Israel, containing a large network of caves recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The national park includes the remains of the historical towns of Maresha, one of the important towns of Judah during the First Temple Period, and Bayt Jibrin, a depopulated Palestinian town known as Eleutheropolis in the Roman era. However, Maresha and Bayt Jibrin are not part of the UNESCO site, which covers only the cave network.
Archaeological artifacts unearthed at the site include a large Jewish cemetery, a Roman-Byzantine amphitheater, a Byzantine church, public baths, mosaics and burial caves.
It is located 13 kilometers from Kiryat Gat.
History
The earliest written record of Maresha was as a city in ancient Judah (Joshua 15:44). The Hebrew Bible mentions among other episodes that Rehoboam fortified it against Egyptian attack. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah the city of Maresha became part of the Edomite kingdom. In the late Persian period a Sidonian community settled in Maresha, and the city is mentioned in the Zenon Papyri (259 BC). During the Maccabean Revolt, Maresha was a base for attacks against Judea and suffered retaliation from the Maccabees. After Hasmonean king John Hyrcanus I captured and destroyed Maresha in 112 BCE, the region of Idumea remained under Hasmonean control. In 40 BC the Parthians devastated completely the "strong cite", after which it was never rebuilt.
Beth Gabra or Beit Guvrin succeeded Maresha as the main town of the area. Conquered by the Roman general Vespasian during the Jewish War (68 CE) and completely destroyed during the Bar Kochba revolt (132–135 CE), it was re-established as a Roman colony and in the year 200 it received the title of a city and the ius italicum, under the new name of "Eleutheropolis", 'city of freemen'. Sources from the Byzantine period mention both Christian and Jewish personalities living in the city. A large Jewish community existed during the Roman and Byzantine Periods and famous Tannaim and Amoraim resided here.
Archaeological excavations
Maresha was first excavated in 1898–1900 by Bliss and Macalister, who uncovered a planned and fortified Hellenistic city encircled by a town wall with towers. Two Hellenistic and one Israelite stratum were identified by them on the mound. Many of the ancient city's olive presses, columbaria and water cisterns can still be seen.
Both Maresha and Beit Guvrin/Eleutheropolis were excavated after 1989 and 1992 respectively by the Israeli archaeologist Amos Kloner. Important finds at the latter site were the amphitheater built by the Roman army units stationed there, a large Roman bath house, and from the Crusader period a fortress integrating the walls of the Roman amphitheater and bath house, as well as an attached church.
Burial caves
The Sidonian burial caves were the family tomb of Apollophanes, the leader of the Sidonian community in Beit Guvrin. The Sidonian caves a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatasaray%20Mobile | Galatasaray Mobile or GS Mobile is a Turkish virtual cellular service provider owned by Galatasaray SK that uses the Avea GSM network for coverage. The company slogan is "one team, one heart, one network".
"Avea" (A ve (and) A: Aria and Aycell) is one of three GSM operators in Turkey. It has been founded in 2004 with the merger of the two GSM operators Aycell (Türk Telekom) and Aria (joint venture of Türkiye İş Bankası (51%) and TIM (49%)). TIM and Türk Telekom own 40% stake each and İş Bank Group holds 20%. In September 2006, Telecom Italia announces that, having received authorisation from the relevant Turkish authorities, the sale of 40.5% stake in Avea, held by subsidiary TIM International, to Türk Telekom, for a total of USD 500 million, has been finalised. Therefore, the current shareholder structure is 81% owned by Türk Telekom and remaining 19% by İş Bankası. Its competitors, Turkcell and Vodafone Turkey, have both been founded in 1994 and use the GSM 900 frequency range while Avea uses the GSM 1800 range.
Coverage area
The merging of two GSM operators has resulted in the need of redesigning the network architecture to extend coverage and to solve the issues created by the network load. Avea has been able to complete most of that process about one year after its creation, and currently covers a vast majority of Turkey's land area with more than 7,000 base stations (A map can be found on The GSM World Web Page). In contrast to Turkcell and Vodafone, Avea doesn't have an extension in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and customers therefore roam on the Turkcell and Vodafone Turkey networks.
Being a merger of two networks, Avea suffers from the heterogeneity of roaming partners and customers with numbers beginning with 50 and 55 don't have the same list of roaming partners (see the list of roaming partners for 505 customers and the list of roaming partners for 555 customers for the different partners' lists). Avea also offers GPRS / EDGE / 3G roaming in multiple countries (see the list of GPRS roaming partners for 505 customers and the list of GPRS roaming partners for 555 customers).
Competitiveness
As the latest participant in the Turkish GSM sector, Aria, Aycell and Avea have been obliged to offer lower prices to attract a maximum number of customers. Consequently, Turkcell (the leader of the Turkish GSM market) has lowered down its intra-network call rates by a third after the creation of Aria, and halved all call rates when Avea has been launched.
Currently, customers pay between 0 and 0.35 Turkish liras per minute for national calls and between 0.32 and 2.1 Turkish liras per minute for international calls (for details, see The Avea Tariffs Web site); which roughly corresponds to respectively 0, 0.20, 0.19 and 1.1 euros per minute. The very common SMS service costs between 0 and 0.06 Turkish liras per SMS for national SMS messages, and 0.21 Turkish liras for international ones (which corresponds to 0, 0.03 and 0.12 euros) (yo |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechAmerica | TechAmerica is a United States technology trade association. It was formed from the merger of AeA (formerly known as the America Electronics Association), the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA), the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA), and the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) in 2009. The organization claims to be the "high-tech industry's leading trade association". TechAmerica represents 1,200 companies within the public and commercial sectors of the economy. TechAmerica's stated goal is to provide "grassroots to global" representation for its members. To this end, the organization maintains an advocacy program in all 50 US state capitals, in Washington, DC, and in several international locations. In May 2014, CompTIA, a nonprofit trade association that serves IT professionals, announced it had acquired TechAmerica in a move to expand its public-sector presence.
History
In 2009, AeA and ITAA merged to form TechAmerica.
AeA
AeA started as the West Coast Electronics Manufacturing Association (WCEMA), formed by David Packard and 25 of Hewlett-Packard's suppliers in 1943. Within 20 years, the association had gathered over 200 members. In 1969, WCEMA was rebranded the Western Electronic Manufacturers Association (WEMA). Less than two years following that rebranding, membership reached to over 600. Once again, the association was renamed in 1977 to the American Electronics Association. In 2001, the branding was shortened to AeA.
ITAA
The Association of Data Processing Services Organization (ADAPSO) was formed in 1961. This association was renamed in 1991 to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA). In 2008, ITAA merged with the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA) and the Government Electronics Industry Association (GEIA).
2012 Cyber Attack
The organization's website was attacked in April 2012 for their support of the controversial CISPA bill.
Sale of standards program
In July 2013, TechAmerica sold its standards program to SAE International.
Four lobbyists depart, TechAmerica sues for breach of employee contract
On November 4, 2013 it was announced that four TechAmerica lobbyists: Trey Hodgkins, Pam Walker, Erica McCann and Carol Henton had resigned, lured to the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) which was able to raise $50,000 each from more than a dozen of its members to fund the acquisition of the four TechAmerica lobbyists.
TechAmerica filed a lawsuit against ITI and three of the departing lobbyists in D.C. Superior Court. TechAmerica's complaints include that the defecting lobbyists conspired in their new positions to use old contacts and other information acquired while at TechAmerica to help ITI find new clients for its neophyte effort focused on government procurement

History
Maria's Wish
Maria Fareri Children's Hospital was built through the efforts of hundreds of parents, medical professionals, and community leaders, including Brenda and John Fareri who lost their 13-year-old daughter, Maria, to rabies in 1995. After Maria died, her parents learned that Maria had made a special wish as part of a school project - for the health and well-being of all the children in the world. Guided by Maria's wish, the Fareri family helped lead the design and creation of Maria Fareri Children's Hospital as a “family-centered” hospital. It is the only hospital in the United States named after a child.
