https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%20Tonight | America Tonight was Al Jazeera America's flagship news show, airing at 9:30 p.m. EST. It was a showcase for thought-provoking and insightful in-depth reporting and programming with a focus on investigative reporting. Its mission is to tell urgent, important and underreported stories with the quality, depth and time they deserve. The newsmagazine program was hosted by former CNN International anchor and former CBS News correspondent Joie Chen, and was produced from Al Jazeera America's Newseum studio in Washington, D.C. It featured correspondents Adam May, Lori Jane Gliha, Sheila MacVicar, Christof Putzel, Michael Okwu, Sarah Hoye, and Lisa Fletcher.
History
Al Jazeera America hired Kim Bondy, a former executive producer with CNN to produce America Tonight from the ground up. The program presents in-depth segments each night on the economy, government, education, healthcare and the environment, and include breaking news stories. The program also features work by the Al Jazeera America investigative unit and covers stories in depth from across America, revealing new insights on the news of the day and breaking stories with its own original reporting. America Tonight also incorporates social media interaction on screen and off to reflect the views of its American audience. On July 1, 2013, longtime CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien was hired to be a special correspondent for America Tonight, as well as a deal with her production company Starfish Media Group to produce long-form documentaries for Al Jazeera America.
The show, originally an hour long at 9pm eastern was shortened to 30 minutes and moved to 10 eastern on February, 2nd, 2015, it was then moved to 9:30pm on November, 2nd, 2015 timed with the HD launch of the channel on DirecTV.
Focus
The show focus was on the average American person and their connection with a particular story. The show also showed investigative work as part of Al Jazeera Investigates. When Al Jazeera America was formed out of the former Current TV what remained of Current's long time investigative program Vanguard most notably Christof Putzel was integrated into the program and Al Jazeera's investigative team.
Awards
In 2014 Al Jazeera America and producer Reed Lindsay won a Gracie Award in the “Outstanding Hard News Feature” category from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation for the story “Fists of Fury,” which aired on America Tonight. The award was the first award ever for the channel. In 2015 Al Jazeera and producer Jihan Hafiz won a National Association Of Black Journalists Salute to Excellence award in the "Long Form Feature" category for the story "Fists Up Fight Back" about a group of young female black lives matter activists in Washington, D.C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadridge%20Financial%20Solutions | Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. is a public corporate services and financial technology company founded in 2007 as a spin-off from management software company Automatic Data Processing. Broadridge supplies public companies with proxy statements, annual reports and other financial documents, and shareholder communications solutions, such as virtual annual meetings.
History
Legislation passed in the 1970s in the United States mandated two processes for securities and their transfer: immobilization and dematerialization. These processes required physical stock certificates and other paper securities to be kept in bulk by intermediaries, and required the sale and ownership of securities to be accomplished through chains of transaction records instead of possession of paper certificates. While enabling increased securities trading and rapid rises in stock ownership, these changes had the effect of separating companies from their shareholders, and putting intermediaries between them.
Increased stock-market trading led to greater need for such intermediaries, and the need for shareholders to vote by proxy via the intermediaries instead of directly. This in turn led to a new industry which managed the shareholder voting process. Prior to this new industry, banks and brokers had typically maintained in-house proxy departments for handling these processes. Even after the move to electronic certificates eliminated the need for intermediaries, the intermediaries have continued to exist.
By the mid 1990s, the proxy voting and shareholder communications services industry was dominated by Automatic Data Processing (ADP). At the end of March, 2007, ADP spun-out the entirety of their shareholder communications activities, resulting in the formation of Broadridge Financial Solutions.
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Congress evaluated many aspects of corporate governance, including shareholder communications and proxy voting. In 2010 a report submitted to the House Committee on Financial Services by a coalition headed by Business Roundtable noted the near monopoly position of Broadridge in handling proxy voting. In 2010, the company processed about 350 billion shares for the companies for which it provided services. By 2013, the company had retained its predominant position in the proxy processing market.
In the summer of 2016, Broadridge acquired the North America Customer Communications (NACC) unit of DST Systems, a Kansas City-based business services provider, which provided the company with addressing information for about 75% of all public company shareholders in the United States and Canada. Later in 2016, Broadridge bought M&O Systems, a small Manhattan-based financial services company. In 2016, the company acquired Spence Johnson, an institutional financial flow data intelligence firm co-founded by CEO at the time, Magnus Spence. This was a strategic investment by Broadridge, allowing for the combination of Broadridge's ret |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIP%20message | WIP message is a work-in-progress message sent from a computer client to a computer server. It is used to update a server with the progress of an item during a manufacturing process. The only known use is in the automotive wiring manufacturing process, but the message structure is generic enough to be used in any manufacturing process.
History
The WIP Message Protocol was originally developed to overcome the need to allow computers running disparate operating system to communicate with one another. The first implementation was on the Acorn computer running the RISC OS swiftly followed by a PC implementation.
Communication methodology
Each computer may act as a server, a client, or both. In the server configuration a listening socket is opened on a specific port (default port is 99) and the server waits for connection attempts from its clients. The client connects by opening a socket and sending data to the server in the format [Header][Data]. The header contains information about the message such as the message length, message number which can be anything from 1 to 4,294,967,295 and the part unique identifier or serial number which is limited to 10 digits (9,999,999,999 max). The serial number consists of the year 4 digits, the day of the year (0-366) 3 digits and a 3 digit sequential number.
The server will action the message (each message number has a specific meaning to the particular process) and respond with a return code. The return code is commonly used to designate whether the process is allowed to proceed or not. The server will usually be written in such way that the manufacturing process flow is mapped and the Server will therefore not allow manufacturing to progress to the next stage if the previous stage is incomplete or failed for some reason.
Message format
Two formats of message are used. Loosely termed a 'short' and a 'long' message format, a short message contains specific information along with 18 bytes that can be used for custom information, whereas a long message can contain anything that is required and the two applications sending and receiving the data must know what format is being used. The message terminator must always be the carriage return character (0x0D).
Short message structure
[Date & Time (14 bytes)][Location Number (2 bytes)][Part Serial Number (10 bytes)][NULL][Data (18 bytes)][Carriage Return]
Example of a short message data portion
199809241342052 1998272093[NULL] [Carriage return]
Common message numbers
Common return codes
Limitations
Because the serial number can only contain 10 digits and must be unique across the same part for trace-ability, there is a limit to the number of items that can be manufactured on one day. This figure is nominally 999, but to overcome this it has been known that a day number offset of 500 be used such that the number produced can be doubled, whilst still maintaining a unique number.
An example of this would be on a 4 March 2008; Location A produces p |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute%20Radio%2000s | Absolute Radio 00s is a semi-national digital radio station owned and operated by Bauer as part of the Absolute Radio Network. It broadcasts locally on Bauer's Inverness DAB Multiplex. It broadcasts nationally via smart speaker streaming and online web streaming.
Absolute Radio 00s launched on 10 December 2010 on the Switch London DAB multiplex, replacing Absolute Radio 90s, which moved permanently to the national Digital One multiplex following a trial period.
In December 2014, Absolute 00s was withdrawn from DAB in London, as part of wider alterations, but simultaneously was made available, on a placeholder basis, on DAB in Inverness.
On 8 May 2020, the transmission of Absolute Radio 00s was temporarily suspended for 24 hours to allow the online capacity to be used for the one-day pop-up station Absolute Radio 40s, marking the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which also took over the AM frequencies of Absolute Radio for the day. The 40s pop-up was also added to the CE Digital London 1 multiplex as a DAB+ service.
Simulcasts
As with Absolute's other digital spin-offs, Absolute Radio 00s simulcasts the Dave Berry breakfast show from the parent Absolute Radio station. In a change to how the breakfast show is simulcast, as with the other sister stations, Absolute Radio 00s now only features music from the 2000s during the breakfast show. As a promotion for the new station, during December 2010 Christian O'Connell would present an additional hour (10am to 11am) on the 00s station after the end of his main show.
From 23 September 2019, Absolute Radio's sibling stations, including 00s, began to syndicate the weekday afternoon drivetime show (then Hometime with Bush and Richie) from the main station; as at breakfast, a split playlist system will allow relevant music to be played on each station.
Transmissions
The service is available, as of December 2014, on digital radio in Inverness, via the local DAB multiplex (Block 11B: 218.640 MHz) from the Mount Eagle transmitter.
Prior to December 2014, the station was available via digital radio to the Greater London area via the Switch London platform (12A - 223.936 MHz) via the following transmitter sites (transmitter power in brackets):
Crystal Palace (2.10 kW)
Bluebell Hill (2.00 kW)
Reigate (1.51 kW)
Guildford (1.00 kW)
Zouches Farm (0.35 kW)
Hemel Hempstead (0.25 kW)
Otford (0.17 kW)
Alexandra Palace (0.10 kW)
Arkley (0.10 kW)
Mount Vernon (0.10 kW)
Stoke D'Aberdon (0.01 kW)
Shooter's Hill - Thamesmead (0.01 kW)
The London DAB slot occupied by Absolute Radio 00s was initially occupied by The Groove (later Virgin Radio Groove), then by Virgin Radio Xtreme from September 2005; this was renamed Absolute Xtreme in 2008 and closed in 2009, replaced by Absolute Radio 80s; when the 80s service moved to Digital One, Absolute Radio 90s took the slot, and when the 90s service also went national, Absolute Radio 00s was launched.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RecoverPoint | RecoverPoint is a continuous data protection product offered by Dell EMC which supports asynchronous and synchronous data replication of block-based storage. RecoverPoint was originally created by a company called Kashya, which was bought by EMC in 2006.
Description
Kashya was founded in February, 2001, originally located in Ramat Gan, Israel.
Venture funding included Battery Ventures and Jerusalem Global Ventures.
In 2003, additional operations in San Jose, California were announced along with $12 million in funding and a first product.
Kashya was acquired by EMC Corporation on May 9, 2006, for $153 million.
EMC had already announced a product named RecoverPoint in October 2005, adapted from a product called Recovery One from Mendocino Software.
The Kashya product had been named KDX 5000.
The EMC RecoverPoint product based on Kashya technology was released in 2007, and version 3.0 released in 2008.
RecoverPoint continuous data protection (CDP) tracks changes to data at a block level and journals these changes.
Every write is tracked and stored as a different snapshot. Alternatively, groups of writes can be aggregated according to configuration in order to reduce storage space and network traffic. The journal then allows rolling data to a previous "Point-In-Time" in order to view the drive contents as they were before a certain data corruption. CDP can journal each write individually, hence enabling any-point-in-time snapshots, or it can be configured to combine consecutive writes in order to reduce journal space and improve bandwidth. CDP works only over a storage area network - the RecoverPoint appliances need to be configured for the replica and the journal Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs).
RecoverPoint continuous remote replication (CRR) enables a replica in a remote site. For such a setup, RecoverPoint appliances clusters are required in both the local and remote sites. These 2 clusters communicate over either Fibre Channel (FC) or Internet Protocol. RecoverPoint applies data compression and data de-duplication in order to reduce wide area network traffic. As of RecoverPoint 3.4, only one remote site. CRR can be combined with CDP in order to provide concurrent local and remote (CLR) replication.
The consistency group (CG) term is used for grouping several LUNs together in order to ensure write-order consistency over several volumes. This is used for example with a database that stores its data and journal on different logical drives. These logical drives must be kept in-sync on the replica if data-consistency needs to be preserved. Other examples are multi-volume file systems such as ZFS or Windows' Dynamic Disks.
Similar to other continuous data protection products, and unlike backup products, RecoverPoint needs to obtain a copy of every write in order to track data changes. EMC advertises RecoverPoint as heterogenous due to its support of multi-vendor server, network and storage arrays.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug%20%26%20Pray | Plug & Pray is a 2010 documentary film about the promise, problems and ethics of artificial intelligence and robotics. The main protagonists are the former MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum and the futurist Raymond Kurzweil. The title is a pun on the computer hardware phrase "Plug and Play".
Synopsis
Computer experts around the world strive towards the development of intelligent robots. Pioneers like Raymond Kurzweil and Hiroshi Ishiguro dream of fashioning intelligent machines that will equal their human creators. In this potential reality, man and machine merge as a single unity. Rejecting evolution's biological shackles tantalisingly dangles the promise of eternal life for those bold enough to seize it. But others, like Joseph Weizenbaum, counterattack against society's limitless faith in the redemptive powers of technology, questioning the prevailing discourses on new technologies and their ethical relationships to human life. The film delves into a world where computer technology, robotics, biology, neuroscience, and developmental psychology merge, and features roboticists in their laboratories in Japan, the US, Italy and Germany.
Background
Since antiquity, mankind has dreamed of creating brilliant machines. The invention of the computer and the breathtaking pace of technological progress appear to be bringing the realisation of this dream within the grasp of humans. Robots were to do the housework, look after the children, care for the elderly, and go to war. Former MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum, creator of ELIZA, has become a harsh critic of their visions of technological omnipotence.
Production of the film started in 2006 and ended in 2009. The death of the main protagonist Joseph Weizenbaum on March 5, 2008, fell in this period. The international festival premiere was at FIPA 2010 in Biarritz, France. Since then the film has been invited to 27 film festivals, among them the Seattle International Film Festival, Vancouver Film Festival, Visions du Réel. The theatrical release in Germany was on Nov. 11, 2010.
Awards
The film won the Bavarian Film Award 2010 for "Best Documentary", the Grand Prix of the Jury for the best film at the Paris International Science Film Festival, the Primer Premio for best film at the Mostra de Ciencia e Cinema in La Coruña (Spain), and the Science Communication Award at the International Science Film Festival Athens. It was also chosen as the best international film at the 46th AFO, Science Documentary Festival in Olomouc, Czech Republic, in 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Pidgeon%20%28writer%29 | William John Gilmour Pidgeon (1 March 1947 – 19 July 2016) was a British journalist, author, music historian, radio producer, comedy executive and crossword compiler.
Early life and career
One of three children, Pidgeon's parents were Frederick "Joe" Pidgeon, an engineer in the civil service, and Margaret Rawson. He was born in Carlisle, Cumberland, and brought up in Downley, a village in Buckinghamshire. While a pupil at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe, his time there overlapped with Ian Dury and Roger Scruton. He studied French at the University of Kent and undertook postgraduate Film Studies under Thorold Dickinson at the Slade School, where his writing career began with a review of Carry On Henry for the British Film Institute's Monthly Film Bulletin. An uncredited script for a BBC 2 Film Night special on pop movies followed, and in July 1972 he began a weekly film guide for New Musical Express.
Music writing and radio
Around the same time he was invited to join the team about to launch Let It Rock magazine by Charlie Gillett, who subsequently recommended him as a scriptwriter for BBC Radio 1's The Story of Pop. In December 1972, he joined The Faces' road crew for the band's UK tour in order to write a roadie's diary, which appeared in Let It Rock and America's Creem magazine. His association with the band led not only to 1976's Rod Stewart and the Changing Faces, a book which Paul Gorman has suggested "broke the mould in terms of music books in the 70s," but to a songwriting partnership with keyboard player Ian McLagan. A Backpages Classics Kindle edition of Rod Stewart and the Changing Faces was published in 2011.
In 1973 he took over as editor of Let It Rock, while continuing to write for NME and script documentaries for Radio 1. He wrote a "savagely readable" novelisation of Slade in Flame, which paid scant attention to the screenplay and was withdrawn from sale at cinemas where the film was shown in 1975 for its bad language and explicit violence. Slade's Noddy Holder nevertheless called it "a great book", suggesting John "must have been around the scene for quite a while, he knows a hell of a lot." Then, drawing on his teenage experiences of the British R&B scene for early material, John became the first biographer of Eric Clapton.
An occasional contributor to Time Out, for whom he interviewed his football hero Stan Bowles, Pidgeon followed editor Richard Williams to Melody Maker, where he championed The Police,
accompanying the trio on their first US tour, as he did almost 30 years later during their reunion.
By the end of the decade, Pidgeon was back in radio, making documentaries and special programmes for Capital Radio, whose Head of Music was The Story of Pop'''s producer Tim Blackmore. Pidgeon devised two long-running series – Jukebox Saturday Night and The View From The Top – for disc jockey Roger Scott, and when Scott moved to Radio 1 in 1988, he devised Classic Albums, which he and Scott produced as the network's f |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCUDA | rCUDA, which stands for Remote CUDA, is a type of middleware software framework for remote GPU virtualization. Fully compatible with the CUDA application programming interface (API), it allows the allocation of one or more CUDA-enabled GPUs to a single application. Each GPU can be part of a cluster or running inside of a virtual machine. The approach is aimed at improving performance in GPU clusters that are lacking full utilization. GPU virtualization reduces the number of GPUs needed in a cluster, and in turn, leads to a lower cost configuration – less energy, acquisition, and maintenance.
The recommended distributed acceleration architecture is a high performance computing cluster with GPUs attached to only a few of the cluster nodes. When a node without a local GPU executes an application needing GPU resources, remote execution of the kernel is supported by data and code transfers between local system memory and remote GPU memory. rCUDA is designed to accommodate this client-server architecture. On one end, clients employ a library of wrappers to the high-level CUDA Runtime API, and on the other end, there is a network listening service that receives requests on a TCP port. Several nodes running different GPU-accelerated applications can concurrently make use of the whole set of accelerators installed in the cluster. The client forwards the request to one of the servers, which accesses the GPU installed in that computer and executes the request in it. Time-multiplexing the GPU, or in other words sharing it, is accomplished by spawning different server processes for each remote GPU execution request.
rCUDA v20.07
The rCUDA middleware enables the concurrent usage of CUDA-compatible devices remotely.
rCUDA employs either the InfiniBand network or the socket API for the communication between clients and servers. rCUDA can be useful in three different environments:
Clusters. To reduce the number of GPUs installed in High Performance Clusters. This leads to energy savings, as well as other related savings like acquisition costs, maintenance, space, cooling, etc.
Academia. In commodity networks, to offer access to a few high performance GPUs concurrently to many students.
Virtual Machines. To enable the access to the CUDA facilities on the physical machine.
The current version of rCUDA (v20.07) supports CUDA version 9.0, excluding graphics interoperability. rCUDA v20.07 targets the Linux OS (for 64-bit architectures) on both client and server sides.
CUDA applications do not need any change in their source code in order to be executed with rCUDA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC%2060870-5 | IEC 60870 part 5 is one of the IEC 60870 set of standards which define systems used for telecontrol (supervisory control and data acquisition) in electrical engineering and power system automation applications. Part 5 provides a communication profile for sending basic telecontrol messages between two systems, which uses permanent directly connected data circuits between the systems. The IEC Technical Committee 57 (Working Group 03) have developed a protocol standard for telecontrol, teleprotection, and associated telecommunications for electric power systems. The result of this work is IEC 60870-5. Five documents specify the base IEC 60870-5:
IEC 60870-5-1 Transmission Frame Formats
IEC 60870-5-2 Data Link Transmission Services
IEC 60870-5-3 General Structure of Application Data
IEC 60870-5-4 Definition and Coding of Information Elements
IEC 60870-5-5 Basic Application Functions
IEC 60870-5-6 Guidelines for conformance testing for the IEC 60870-5 companion standards
IEC TS 60870-5-7 Security extensions to IEC 60870-5-101 and IEC 60870-5-104 protocols (applying IEC 62351)
The IEC Technical Committee 57 has also generated companion standards:
IEC 60870-5-101 Transmission Protocols - Companion standards especially for basic telecontrol tasks
IEC 60870-5-102 Transmission Protocols - Companion standard for the transmission of integrated totals in electric power systems (this standard is not widely used)
IEC 60870-5-103 Transmission Protocols - Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment
IEC 60870-5-104 Transmission Protocols - Network access for IEC 60870-5-101 using standard transport profiles
IEC TS 60870-5-601 Transmission protocols - Conformance test cases for the IEC 60870-5-101 companion standard
IEC TS 60870-5-604 Conformance test cases for the IEC 60870-5-104 companion standard
IEC 60870-5-101/102/103/104 are companion standards generated for basic telecontrol tasks, transmission of integrated totals, data exchange from protection equipment & network access of IEC101 respectively.
IEC 60870-5-101
IEC 60870-5-101 [IEC101] is a standard for power system monitoring, control & associated communications for telecontrol, teleprotection, and associated telecommunications for electric power systems. This is completely compatible with IEC 60870-5-1 to IEC 60870-5-5 standards and uses standard asynchronous serial tele-control channel interface between DTE and DCE. The standard is suitable for multiple configurations like point-to-point, star, multidrop etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%20Flesh | "Human Flesh" is the first episode and the series premiere of the animated television series Bob's Burgers. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 9, 2011.
The episode was written by Loren Bouchard and Jim Dauterive, and directed by Anthony Chun. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 9.41 million homes in its original airing, making it the most viewed episode of the series. The episode featured guest performances by Andy Kindler, Ron Lynch, and Sam Seder.
Plot
After a number of unsuccessful openings, Bob Belcher and his family re-re-re-open their gourmet burger restaurant, 'Bob's Burgers', in the hope of success because the nearby attraction Wonder Wharf is getting "mobbed".
Shortly after the re-opening, Bob assigns his pre-teen son, Gene, the job of handing out burger samples to passers-by outside. However, when Gene offends mourners from the crematorium next door, he drops a number of the burgers all over the street, but picks them up and continues to hand them out.
This is immediately noticed by Hugo, the visiting health inspector, and his assistant Ron, who are at the restaurant to investigate a rumor that the burgers are made from human flesh from the crematorium next door.
Upon entering the restaurant, Hugo is shocked to see Linda, Bob's wife, whom he was previously engaged to. Still reeling over how Linda left him for Bob many years ago, and seeing an advantage in Bob's numerous health code "violations", Hugo plans to close down the restaurant to get revenge on Bob.
Hugo places an enormous sign on the restaurant's window that states that there is a suspicion of human remains in the establishment's food.. He then begins to rally the growing crowd outside the restaurant's door against Bob's Burgers, by building up the rumor (originally created by Louise, Bob's youngest daughter).
As the public begins to protest and antagonize Bob, he becomes more distressed when he realizes that it is also Linda and his wedding anniversary, a fact he had completely forgotten.
In spite of Bob's claims to Hugo that the rumor is false, the situation gets even worse when one of Gene's antics results in a body from the funeral home next door turning up inside the restaurant.
Bob finally decides to stand up against the crowds outside, and while he initially appears to be succeeding, his words are twisted by members of the crowd until they believe Bob is actually a supporter of cannibalism. Louise further perpetuates the rumor.
The public continues to berate Bob, reaching the point where an angry protester breaks the restaurant's window with a snow globe. Bob sobs to Linda that he feels like a failure, and she would have been better off had she stayed with Hugo, whom she earlier admitted was a better kisser than Bob. However, Linda tells Bob that she married him because he had a dream for their future, whereas Hugo was nothing but a lonely man who never had a dream. Louise apologizes to her father for creating |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-10b | Kepler-10b is the first confirmed terrestrial planet to have been discovered outside the Solar System by the Kepler Space Telescope. Discovered after several months of data collection during the course of the NASA-directed Kepler Mission, which aims to discover Earth-like planets crossing in front of their host stars, the planet's discovery was announced on January 10, 2011. Kepler-10b has a mass of 3.72±0.42 Earth masses and a radius of 1.47 Earth radii. However, it lies extremely close to its star, Kepler-10, and as a result is too hot to support life as we know it. Its existence was confirmed using measurements from the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii.
Nomenclature and history
Kepler-10, the star that hosts Kepler-10b, is located 560 light-years from the Solar System in the Draco constellation. It is approximately the same size as the Sun, with an estimated age of 12 billion years. Planet Kepler-10b was the first planet to be discovered in the orbit of its star. For this, it was designated the star's b planet. The star, in turn, was named for the Kepler Mission, a NASA-led operation aimed at discovering terrestrial planets that transit, or cross in front of, their host stars with respect to Earth. The planet's discovery was announced to the public on January 10, 2011.
The transit method of discovering exoplanets relies upon carefully monitoring the brightness of a star. If a planet is present and crosses the line of sight between Earth and the star, the star will dim at a regular interval by an amount that depends upon the radius of the transiting planet. In order to measure the mass of a planet, and rule out other phenomena that can mimic the presence of a planet transiting a star, candidate transiting planets are followed up with the radial velocity method of detecting extrasolar planets.
Kepler-10b's discovery was based on eight months of data collected with the Kepler telescope from May 2009 to January 2010. The planet's first transits were observed in July 2009. According to the collected data, Kepler-10 dimmed by one part in ten thousand every 0.83 days. Kepler-10 was the first star in the field of view of the Kepler telescope identified as capable of harboring a small transiting planet, and was considered a high priority target for ground-based radial velocity observations intended to confirm the mass of Kepler-10b. Radial velocity measurements with the Keck I telescope taken intermittently between August 2009 and August 2010 revealed a periodic Doppler shift in the spectrum of Kepler-10 consistent with a planet of the nature observed by Kepler, confirming the planet's existence and allowing its mass to be determined. The planet's discovery was announced to the public on January 10, 2011.
In September 2011, the detection of secondary transit and phases were announced. This allowed to determine the temperature and albedo of the planet. This is the first terrestrial exoplanet with observed phases. Detection of phases was possible due |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference%20computer | Reference Computer is a computerized supplement to PBX (Private Branch Exchange or PBX) that supports the internal telephone directory, absence data and messages. Reference Computer is an effective aid for the switchboard operator as information on the lines are obtained directly from a display.
Reference computer is connected to the telephone exchange and a call comes in to an extension the computer shows all the data about that extension automatically. Reference computer enabled a sophisticated information management in large companies. People in the workplace could from their phones enter information about absences cause and time of return simply by entering certain digits on his telephone apparatus.
The first complete reference computer attached to PBX in the Swedish Telecom company's network had the name SESAM and came in operation in the early 1980s. It was associated initially with company's electromechanical telephone A344 (and thus gave it a host of new modern services).
The big break for reference computer, which is a Swedish invention, came when the telephone service's large "electronic PBX" A345 and A335 were provided with a reference computer (HVD). Several such existed in the Swedish market. SESAM system was first developed and marketed, then from the mid-1980s, known as PRESENT. These two systems were developed by four engineers from the telephone company who has obtained a Swedish patent for the invention. The patent was declared invalid in 1991 after the telephone company itself had sought annulment in the Stockholm District Court and the Svea Court of Appeal. State Board of Workers' inventions (SNAU) stated that it was a recommendation that the four engineers of the telephone company would hold SEK 3 million by the employer. Televerket and TeliaSonera AB has however refused to pay compensation. Subsequently, SNAU twice considered the question if the inventors are entitled to compensation. The issue is not yet finally settled by SNAU. The dispute has lasted for over 30 years. Reference computers and direct function in the newer PBX contributed to the rationalization of the telecom network. There is now a reference feature in the software in most modern PBX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCHED%20DEADLINE | SCHED_DEADLINE is a CPU scheduler available in the Linux kernel since version 3.14, based on the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) and Constant Bandwidth Server (CBS) algorithms, supporting resource reservations: each task scheduled under such policy is associated with a budget Q (aka runtime), and a period P, corresponding to a declaration to the kernel that Q time units are required by that task every P time units, on any processor. This makes SCHED_DEADLINE particularly suitable for real-time applications, like multimedia or industrial control, where P corresponds to the minimum time elapsing between subsequent activations of the task, and Q corresponds to the worst-case execution time needed by each activation of the task.
Background on CPU schedulers in the Linux kernel
The Linux kernel contains different scheduler classes. By default, the kernel uses a scheduler mechanism called the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) introduced in the 2.6.23 version of the kernel. Internally, this default scheduler class is also known as SCHED_NORMAL, and the kernel also contains two POSIX-compliant real-time scheduling classes named SCHED_FIFO (realtime first-in-first-out) and SCHED_RR (realtime round-robin) both of which take precedence over the default class. The SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class was added to the Linux scheduler in version 3.14 of the Linux kernel mainline, released on 30 March 2014,
and takes precedence over all the other scheduling classes.
The default scheduler, CFS, makes a very good job in coping with different use cases. For example, when mixing batch workloads such as long-running code compilations or number crunching, and interactive applications such as desktop applications, multi-media or others, the CFS dynamically de-prioritizes batch tasks in favour of interactive ones. However, when an application needs a predictable and precise schedule, normally it has to recur to one of the other real-time schedulers, SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO, which apply fixed-priority to schedule tasks by priorities, and whose tasks are scheduled before any task in the SCHED_NORMAL class.
Operation
When mixing real-time workloads with heterogeneous timing requirements on the same system, a well-known problem of SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO is that, as these are based on tasks priorities, higher-priority tasks running for longer than expected may arbitrarily delay lower-priority tasks in an uncontrolled way.
With SCHED_DEADLINE, instead, tasks declare independently their timing requirements, in terms of a per-task runtime needed every per-task period (and due within a per-task deadline since each period start), and the kernel accepts them in the scheduler after a schedulability test. Now, if a task tries to run for longer than its assigned budget, the kernel will suspend that task and defer its execution to its next activation period. This non-work conserving property of the scheduler allows it to provide temporal isolation among the tasks. This results in the im |

The Bell 101 modem allowed digital data to be transmitted over regular unconditioned telephone lines at a speed of 110 bits per second.
Bell 101 modems are no longer in use and were quickly replaced by its successor the Bell 103 modem. SAGE modems were described by AT&T's Bell Labs as conforming to the Bell 101 data set standard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill%20Zeller | William Paul Zeller (October 26, 1983 – January 5, 2011) was an American computer programmer who was best known for creating the MyTunes application. After Zeller committed suicide in January 2011, his suicide note began circulating widely, launching a public discussion on the long-term ill effects of child sexual abuse.
Education
A native of Middletown, Connecticut, Zeller was pursuing a doctoral degree in computer science from Princeton, having earned his master's degree in 2008. He received his bachelor's degree from Trinity College, Hartford in 2006.
Career
His best-known software project was MyTunes, an enhancement for Apple's iTunes software that enables users to copy music between computers on a local network. During his undergraduate years he also created Zempt, an enhancement for the popular Moveable Type blogging platform. Zeller continued creating innovative software in graduate school. His most recent hit was Graph Your Inbox, an extension to the Chrome browser that allows GMail users to analyze patterns in their own email traffic. Graph Your Inbox appears to be no longer functional (as of April 2011), probably due to a change in the way Gmail works.
Zeller also served for more than two years as the computer science representative to Princeton's Graduate Student Government, advocating the interests of his fellow graduate students in housing, campus transportation, and other issues.
He co-authored an influential paper, called "Government Data and the Invisible Hand", that explained how governments can release public data in ways that will be useful to programmers. The paper has been influential both in academia and government.
Death
Zeller attempted to hang himself in his university apartment early on Sunday, January 2, 2011. Shortly before, he had posted a 4,000-word suicide note on his website, explaining that he had been sexually abused as a young child, and had decided to take his own life as he felt unable to escape the depression and "darkness" that the memories of this abuse had left him. He was found by officials from Princeton University. As a result of the suicide attempt, he suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation, and was in a coma at University Medical Center at Princeton. He died following the withdrawal of life support, on the evening of January 5, 2011, at age 27.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix%20%28ATC%29 | PHOENIX is a multipurpose Radar Data Processing System(RDPS) / Surveillance Data Processing System (SDPS) - a.k.a. tracker - used for many ATC applications in the Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS), and is continuously extended and maintained ever since. PHOENIX is also foreseen as a fundamental component for all future ATM systems in the DFS into the 2020s and part of the DFS initiative for “ATS componentware” in the European SESAR programme.
Introduction
Since 2001, the DFS has developed its own radar and sensor data processing system, called PHOENIX (a programmatic name instead of an acronym), which is applied in a variety of environments, for a variety of purposes, and with a variety of functional requirements. With PHOENIX the DFS aimed at the level of an advanced ATC system in terms of the previous definitions, not to ATM. To meet these challenges a series of general concepts had been developed and implemented, which are of general interest for the definition and implementation of advanced ATC and C³ systems.
The PHOENIX tracker was originally developed for the surveillance of civilian ATC traffic. It is capable to perform MSDF utilizing very different sensor types regarding accuracy, update rates, as well as their supported attributes. Due to its flexible design it is perfectly suitable for surface movement ground surveillance.
Grand context
German air traffic of today comprises between 1,000 and 2,000 aircraft tracks at the same time in the national airspace. Besides classical ATC radars also new types of sensors or position information sources like Multilateration, ADS-B, and others are to be integrated. Per day it is required to process up to 10,000 flight plans. In the context of the discussion and development of transnational functional airspaces block like FABEC the required number of maintainable tracks will even grow beyond the 3,000, possibly more than 5,000 simultaneous tracks. An equivalent growth in needed flightplan handling capacity can be reasonably assumed. Each aircraft needs suitable Kalman filtering for tracking to cope both with steady flight and manoeuvre conditions in the different airspaces, and each IFR aircraft needs linkage processing to correlate flightplan data correctly to the track; simple code-callsign-pairing is insufficient due to multiple use of SSR codes.
At the same time the track and flightplan data have to be presented to a number of controller workstations (CWPs), ranging from 1 (low-end applications) or 5 (in towers) to 120 (in ACCs), which results in the demand of an excellent scalability for such a system. Furthermore, CWPs will create much coordination data and additional track-related information which are distributed over the LAN and eventually to external partner systems. To keep the total complex still controllable, system status monitoring and commanding facilities have to be inbuilt. Last but not least such system environments need large sets of configuration and resource data that have to |

August saw the introductions of Harvey Ryan, Hammer, Stu Henderson and Sasha Bezmel. Shane Emmett made his debut as Mark Gilmour in September and lawyer Hayley O'Connor began appearing from October.
Darryl Braxton
Darryl "Brax" Braxton, played by Steve Peacocke, made his first screen appearance on 16 February 2011. The character and casting was announced on 9 January 2011. Peacocke heard about the role from his agent and he called the audition process "a lot of fun". Brax is the oldest of three brothers known as The River Boys, a "bad-boy surf gang with dodgy reputations." A writer for Channel Seven's Home and Away website stated that Brax has a "dodgy reputation and a chip on his shoulder." He is a surfing legend and commands a respect from his fellow surfies, which he finds useful. Peacocke commented that Brax just wants to escape his upbringing and have a successful family life. Brax tries to keep his younger brothers Heath (Dan Ewing) and Casey (Lincoln Younes) out of trouble. Shortly after his arrival, Darryl began a relationship with Charlie Buckton (Esther Anderson). For his portrayal of Darryl, Peacocke won the Logie Award for Most Popular New Male Talent in 2012.
Heath Braxton
Heath Braxton, played by Daniel Ewing, made his first on-screen appearance on 16 February 2011, originally departed on 29 July 2014 and made a one-off appearance on 23 September 2014. Heath is the second oldest of the Braxton brothers and was initially described as being "feared by cops and the residents of his home town of Mangrove River" and having a short fuse. Heath was the first of The River Boys to be announced, with Ewing's casting revealed on 24 September 2010. Heath is Ewing's second role with Home and Away, having appeared as Reuben Humphries in 2007. For his role, Ewing had to get fit and he joked "I don't think they would cast overweight guys to play surfers, so yeah, I'm sure it was a factor for the producers." He added that he cannot surf well and was relieved that the producers did not test his surfing skills at his audition.
Casey Braxton
Casey Braxton, played by Lincoln Younes, made his first on-screen appearance on 17 February 2011 and departed on 16 September 2014. Casey is the youngest of the Braxton brothers. The Daily Telegraph said that Casey is trying to break out of the River Boys mould and |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METLIN | The METLIN Metabolite and Chemical Entity Database is the largest repository of experimental tandem mass spectrometry and neutral loss data acquired from standards. The tandem mass spectrometry data on over 870,000 molecular standards (as of August 16, 2022) is provided to facilitate the identification of chemical entities from tandem mass spectrometry experiments. In addition to the identification of known molecules, it is also useful for identifying unknowns using its similarity searching technology. All tandem mass spectrometry data comes from the experimental analysis of standards at multiple collision energies and in both positive and negative ionization modes.
METLIN serves as a data management system to assist in metabolite and chemical entity identification by providing public access to its repository of comprehensive MS/MS and neutral loss data. METLIN's annotated list of molecular standards include metabolites and other chemical entities, searching METLIN can be done based on a molecule's tandem mass spectrometry data, neutral loss masses, precursor mass, chemical formula, and structure within the METLIN website. Each molecule is linked to outside resources such as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) for further reference and inquiry. The METLIN database was developed and is maintained solely by the Siuzdak laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute.
Constantly evolving
Since its initial implementation in the early 2000s, the freely available METLIN website has collected comments and suggestions for improvements from users in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and academic communities ultimately resulting in functionally useful technology for metabolomics as well as hundreds of thousands of other molecular entities. The METLIN interface allows researchers to readily search the database and characterize metabolites and other compounds through features such as accurate mass, single and multiple fragment searching, neutral loss and full spectrum search capabilities. The similarity searching feature introduced in 2008 was designed to expedite the identification process of unknown molecules.
Also, METLIN has been used to create a novel multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) library of precursor to fragment ion transitions. The METLIN-MRM transition repository for small-molecule quantitative tandem mass spectrometry was designed to facilitate data sharing across different instruments and laboratories.
The METLIN database is implemented in the cloud to enable users throughout the world. In addition to expanding the tandem mass spectrometry database, METLIN is designed to search tandem mass spectrometry data, precursor mass, chemical formulas, compound names among other search capabilities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinboku-con | Shinboku-con was an annual four-day anime convention held during April at the Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron, Ohio.
Programming
The convention typically offers anime showings, cosplay contest, dances, panels, professional wrestling, trading card tournaments, vendors/artist room, and video game tournaments.
History
Shinboku-con was founded in 2007 by members of the Lorain County Community College Anime Society and Roleplayer's Association. In 2010 the convention became a three-day event, and had its first industry guest, Tiffany Grant. In 2011 three attendees were arrested at the convention, two men were involved in a dispute over the playing of a video game which resulted in a punch to the mouth and an officer being spit on. Another man was arrested for an incident involving the damage of hotel property and underage consumption of alcohol. The convention expanded to a partial fourth day in 2014. Shinboku-con cancelled their 2015 event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham%20Risk%20Score | The Framingham Risk Score is a sex-specific algorithm used to estimate the 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual. The Framingham Risk Score was first developed based on data obtained from the Framingham Heart Study, to estimate the 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease. In order to assess the 10-year cardiovascular disease risk, cerebrovascular events, peripheral artery disease and heart failure were subsequently added as disease outcomes for the 2008 Framingham Risk Score, on top of coronary heart disease.
Cardiovascular Risk Scoring systems
The Framingham Risk Score is one of a number of scoring systems used to determine an individual's chances of developing cardiovascular disease. A number of these scoring systems are available online. Cardiovascular risk scoring systems give an estimate of the probability that a person will develop cardiovascular disease within a specified amount of time, usually 10 to 30 years.
Because they give an indication of the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, they also indicate who is most likely to benefit from prevention. For this reason, cardiovascular risk scores are used to determine who should be offered preventive drugs such as drugs to lower blood pressure and drugs to lower cholesterol levels.
For example, nearly 30% of coronary heart disease (CHD) events in both men and women were singularly attributable to blood pressure levels that exceeded high normal (≥130/85), showing that blood pressure management and monitoring is paramount both to cardiovascular health and prediction of outcomes.
Usefulness
Because risk scores such as the Framingham Risk Score give an indication of the likely benefits of prevention, they are useful for both the individual patient and for the clinician in helping decide whether lifestyle modification and preventive medical treatment and for patient education, by identifying men and women at increased risk for future cardiovascular events.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) risk at 10 years in percent can be calculated with the help of the Framingham Risk Score. Individuals with low risk have 10% or less CHD risk at 10 years, with intermediate risk 10-20%, and with high risk 20% or more. However, it should be remembered that these categorisations are arbitrary.
A more useful metric is to consider the effects of treatment. If a group of 100 persons has a 20% ten-year risk of cardiovascular disease it means that we should expect that 20 of these 100 individuals will develop cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease or stroke) in the next 10 years and eighty of them will not develop cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years.
If they were to take a combination of treatments (for example drugs to lower cholesterol levels plus drugs to lower blood pressure) that reduced their risk of cardiovascular disease by half it means that 10 of these 100 individuals should be expected to develop cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years and 90 of them should not |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic%20programming | Probabilistic programming (PP) is a programming paradigm in which probabilistic models are specified and inference for these models is performed automatically. It represents an attempt to unify probabilistic modeling and traditional general purpose programming in order to make the former easier and more widely applicable. It can be used to create systems that help make decisions in the face of uncertainty.
Programming languages used for probabilistic programming are referred to as "probabilistic programming languages" (PPLs).
Applications
Probabilistic reasoning has been used for a wide variety of tasks such as predicting stock prices, recommending movies, diagnosing computers, detecting cyber intrusions and image detection. However, until recently (partially due to limited computing power), probabilistic programming was limited in scope, and most inference algorithms had to be written manually for each task.
Nevertheless, in 2015, a 50-line probabilistic computer vision program was used to generate 3D models of human faces based on 2D images of those faces. The program used inverse graphics as the basis of its inference method, and was built using the Picture package in Julia. This made possible "in 50 lines of code what used to take thousands".
The Gen probabilistic programming library (also written in Julia) has been applied to vision and robotics tasks.
More recently, the probabilistic programming system Turing.jl has been applied in various pharmaceutical and economics applications.
Probabilistic programming in Julia has also been combined with differentiable programming by combining the Julia package Zygote.jl with Turing.jl.
Probabilistic programming languages are also commonly used in Bayesian cognitive science to develop and evaluate models of cognition.
Probabilistic programming languages
PPLs often extend from a basic language. The choice of underlying basic language depends on the similarity of the model to the basic language's ontology, as well as commercial considerations and personal preference. For instance, Dimple and Chimple are based on Java, Infer.NET is based on .NET Framework, while PRISM extends from Prolog. However, some PPLs such as WinBUGS offer a self-contained language, that maps closely to the mathematical representation of the statistical models, with no obvious origin in another programming language.
The language for winBUGS was implemented to perform Bayesian computation using Gibbs Sampling (and related algorithms). Although implemented in a relatively old programming language (Pascal), this language permits Bayesian inference for a wide variety of statistical models using a flexible computational approach. The same BUGS language may be used to specify Bayesian models for inference via different computational choices ("samplers") and conventions or defaults, using a standalone package winBUGS (or related R packages, rbugs and r2winbugs) and JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler, another R package).

In 2006, The Guardian newspaper's Technology section began a "Free Our Data" campaign, calling for data gathered by authorities at public expense to be made freely available for reuse by individuals. In 2010 with the creation of the Open Government Licence and the Data.gov.uk site it appeared that the campaign had been mostly successful, and since 2013 the UK has been consistently named one of the leaders in the open data space.
Despite the UK's leadership position in the open data space, many issues (such as uneven data quality and data literacy) still need to be addressed, but as of 2019 progress has been slow. Some of these issues are addressed in the UK Government's 2017–2020 Government Transformation Strategy.
Open Government Licence
In 2010 the UK Government created the Open Government Licence, and public bodies can now opt to publish their Crown Copyright material under this licence. Material marked in this way is available under a free, perpetual licence without restrictions beyond attribution. This new licence was based on, and designed to work with the Creative Commons licences.
Version 2.0 of the licence was released in June 2013 and it was accompanied by a new logo which "at a glance, shows that information can be used and re-used under open licensing".

A wide range of other products for other regions of the globe are sold to customers abroad, provided for MOD operations abroad or provided free to developing countries in Africa. This main bulk of data are then passed on to companies who acquire it. Data are stored in the Met Office's own PP-format.
The Met Office held the base data involved in the Climatic Research Unit hacking incident and released information to the public alongside the Climatic Research Unit when pressed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest%20informatics | Forest informatics is the combined science of forestry and informatics, with a special emphasis on collection, management, and processing of data, information and knowledge, and the incorporation of informatic concepts and theories specific to enrich forest management and forest science; it has a similar relationship to library science and information science.
It is an interdisciplinary science primarily concerned with the collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. Information, in this context, includes both human and machine readable documents. Examples of human readable documents include maps, field data sheets, operational schedules, and long term asset management plans with narrative text. Machine readable documents include files for geographic information systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and other applications like spreadsheets, and relational database management systems.
As in management science, Forest Informatics uses decision support systems, mathematical modeling, statistics, and algorithms from engineering, operations research, computer science, and artificial intelligence to support decision-making activities. Common forestry problems include harvest scheduling, model fitting, optimal sampling, remote sensing, crew assignment, image classification, treatment timing, and log bucking problems, many of which can be formulated as optimization problems (e.g. generalized assignment problem, traveling salesman problem, knapsack problem, job shop scheduling, and vehicle routing problems). The practice includes information processing and the engineering of information systems, decision support systems, GIS, and GPS. The research field includes studies the structure, algorithms, behavior, and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process, access and communicate information about forested ecosystems.
History
In 1970, J. G. Grevatt wrote an article titled, "Management Information and Computers in Forestry". In the article, the author describes and discusses different dimensions of management information (i.e. operation, expenditure, location, and time) including the nature of management information and decisions, management information in forestry, the management information system itself, the application of computers, the structure of a computer based system, comparisons between clerical and computer systems, and the impact on the field manager. The author concludes that the use of computers to process management data may be justified on grounds of cost and improved information in organizations of a critical size.
At the time of that article, computers, databases, and geographic information systems were still in their infancy and tools like the Global Positioning Systems of today were yet invented. Management database systems for business were more prevalent. Over the next 30 years, computers became more powerful, smaller, and less expensive. Relation |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date%20and%20time%20notation%20in%20India | ISO 8601 has been adopted as BIS IS 7900:2001 (Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times - first revision).
Date
In India, the DD-MM-YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY are the two predominant short form representations of the date in the Gregorian calendar. The hyphen (-) and oblique (/) are both used as separator between the date fields. Almost all government documents need to be filled up in the DD-MM-YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format. An example of DD-MM-YYYY usage is the passport application form, while the passport itself contains the date in DD/MM/YYYY format, as does the PAN card (used for taxation purposes).
But two expanded forms are used in India. The DD MMMM YYYY usage (e.g. 21 October 2022) is more prevalent over the MMMM DD, YYYY (e.g. October 21, 2022) usage except the latter is more used by media publications, such as the print version of the Times of India and The Hindu.
Many government websites, including Prime Minister's official website, retain the historical format used by Britain (MMMM DD, YYYY) during the colonial era until sometime in the 20th century.
The month-day-year (12/31/1999) in short format, is never used in India except regionally in Bodo.
Mondays are the start of the week as per ISO 8601. Traditionally, Sunday (Ravivara) is considered as the first day of the week in India and the official calendar reckoned by the Government Of India has Sunday to Saturday as the week. In Indian Railway time tables day 1 is Monday and day 7 is Sunday, e.g. train 12345 runs on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, in other words Monday through Friday.
Time
The 12-hour notation is widely used in daily life, written communication, and is used in spoken language. The 24-hour notation is used in rare situations where there would be widespread ambiguity. Examples include railway timetables, plane departure and landing timings. A colon is used to separate hours, minutes and seconds (for example 10:00:15).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TramVall%C3%A8s | TramVallès, Tramvallès or Tramvia del Vallès is a proposed tram or light rail network in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). Its name stems from the region of Vallès, which spans two counties north of the Catalan capital. The region is densely populated, includes the Autonomous University of Barcelona and current public transport services are insufficient for commuters. Following expressions of citizen support, the Generalitat de Catalunya, the governing body of Catalonia, approved the project in 2010. Tramvallès would serve the following municipalities: Montcada i Reixac, Ripollet, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Badia del Vallès, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barberà del Vallès, Sabadell and Terrassa.
The project
The first draft approved by the Generalitat de Catalunya is a 10 km stretch between Montcada i Reixac towards the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vallès). However, Plataforma pel Tramvallès demands a 32 km system to be implemented in the area, as proposed by the Plataforma per la Promoció del Transport Públic.

}}HTV2''' (also known as HTV2 Digital), is a general entertainment channel broadcast by Ho Chi Minh City Television, in cooperation with the private entertainment brand Vie Channel.
History
HTV2, a television channel, was launched on October 10, 2003, as an experimental broadcast on channel 30 UHF. It was accompanied by channels HTV1 and HTV3, and initially aired for nine hours a day. However, starting from November 1, 2003, HTV2 officially extended its broadcast hours to run from 6 am to 24 hours daily. The channel is owned by HTV.
During SEA Games 22, the majority of the tournament's competitions were broadcast on HTV2 channel, which played a crucial role in promoting the regional congress held in Vietnam for the first time. The extensive coverage of the games on HTV2 channel helped in spreading awareness and generating excitement about the event throughout Southeast Asia.
Tournaments are streamed by HTV2, along with HTV9, including the traditional Golden Racquet table tennis tournament, Southeast Asia Challenger soccer, V-League soccer, Spanish La Liga soccer, Italian soccer, World Cup soccer, badminton, volleyball, swimming, Grand Slam tennis, MotoGP European motorcycle racing, AFF Cup, and the ASIAD.
Since 2006, Ho Chi Minh City Television has followed a socialization policy for its broadcasting channels. As part of this policy, HTV2 has collaborated with Anh Binh Minh Media, an international company owned by Dat Viet Group, to jointly produce and broadcast programs on the channel. This partnership has allowed HTV2 to expand its content offerings, including entertainment programs, live events, music, and movies. Additionally, HTV2 has taken on the role of broadcasting movies and game shows from HTV9 and HTV7, while continuing to provide regular coverage of sports matches. This collaboration has enriched the programming of HTV2 and provided a diverse range of content for its viewers.
Following several years of development and collaboration with Anh Binh Minh Company, Ho Chi Minh City Television Station and Anh Binh Minh Company, which is part of Dat Viet Media Complex, joined forces to enhance the program infrastructure and improve the broadcasting quality of HTV2. As a result, HTV2 underwent a significant transformation and became a "2 in 1" TV channel. This means that it not only broadcasts sports content but also features entertainment programs, op |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought%20recording%20and%20reproduction%20device | A thought recording and reproduction device refers to any machine which is able to both directly record and reproduce, via a brain-computer interface, the thoughts, emotions, dreams or other neural/cognitive events of a subject for that or other subjects to experience. While currently residing within mostly fictional displays of the capacity of such devices, the idea has received increased scientific currency since the development of the first BCI-enabled devices.
The term oneirography, referring to the recording of dreams, is also a synonym for the above
Fiction
This hypothetical technology is a key element in some of the early short stories of William Gibson, including his 1977 debut Fragments of a Hologram Rose, where it is called ASP (Apparent Sensory Perception). In his Sprawl trilogy, it is termed Simstim (Simulation Stimulation), and described as the most popular form of entertainment, perhaps equivalent to 20th century pop music. Whereas most instances depict a heavily edited documentary version, replaying an approximation of the actual experience of the person recorded, in The Winter Market a version able to record dreams and imaginations exists.
A number of films from the 1980s onwards, such as Brainstorm (1983), Until the End of the World (1991), Strange Days (1995), Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001), and Sleep Dealer (2008), depict the technology and its ramifications.
Research
In December 2008, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International's Department of Cognitive Neuroscience announced its own research into the translation of neural signals into images. In addition, Dr. Moran Cerf of UCLA published a 2010 paper for Nature which claimed that he and other fellow researchers were on the cusp of being able to allow psychologists to interpret thoughts by corroborating people's recollections of their dream with an electronic visualization of their brain activity. The research outcome has often been popularized as a device that could record dreams. However, Moran Cerf says he never made that claim and only said that such a device is a theoretical possibility.
Current limitations
BCI devices currently are able to translate a limited subset of neural signals into digital signals, most of which are utilized for motor-centric controls of attached devices. The translation of images which are perceived or conceived within the brain has not yet been fully achieved.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evi%20Nemeth | Evi Nemeth (born June 7, 1940 – missing-at-sea June or July, 2013) was an engineer, author, and teacher known for her expertise in computer system administration and networks. She was the lead author of the "bibles" of system administration: UNIX System Administration Handbook (1989, 1995, 2000), Linux Administration Handbook (2002, 2006), and UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (2010, 2017). Evi Nemeth was known in technology circles as the matriarch of system administration.
Nemeth was best known in mathematical circles for originally identifying inadequacies in the "Diffie–Hellman problem", the basis for a large portion of modern network cryptography.
Career
Nemeth received her bachelor's degree in mathematics from Penn State in 1961 and her PhD in mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Ontario in 1971. She taught at Florida Atlantic University and the State University of New York at Utica (SUNY Tech) before joining the computer science department at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) in 1980. She served as manager of the college's computing facility from 1982 to 1986.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph%20Style%20Sheets | GSS (Graph Style Sheets) in mathematics and computing, is an RDF (Resource Description Framework) vocabulary for representation of data in a model of labeled directed graph. Using it will make a relatively complex data resource modeled in RDF, much easier to understand by declaring simple styling and visibility instructions to be applied on selected resources, literals and properties.
Introduction
GSS (Graph Style Sheets) are proposed in order to visually transform the graphs: filtering information, providing alternative layouts for specific elements, and using all available visual variables to encode information, so as to visualise data in a way that better lends itself to human perception. In summary, GSS (Graph Style Sheets) have been designed for the purpose of filtering, grouping and styling of information elements through specification of declarative transformation rules.
GSS not only associate styles to node-edge representation of RDF models, but also can be used to hide part of the graph and offer alternative layouts for some intended elements. The language lets you change the shape (including bitmap icons) of nodes in the graph, change font attributes or stroke properties, and group some or all properties associated with a resource in a table and sort them. a relatively complex RDF model easier to understand by declaring simple styling and visibility instructions to be applied to selected resources and properties.
The GSS Language
GSS is a stylesheet language for styling data modeled in RDF and features a cascading mechanism. Its transformation model is loosely based on that of XSLT and its instructions resemble some existing W3C Recommendations such as CSS and SVG. In particular most of the GSS properties accept all values defined by the CSS 2 and SVG 1.0 Recommendations.
Any transformation rule of GSS is made of a selector-instruction pair. The left-hand side of a rule is called selector and the right-hand side is called the instruction. Such sets of rules are collected in a stylesheet (or several cascading stylesheets) and the application (a GSS engine) responsible for styling RDF model, evaluates relevant rules on data model (resources, literals and properties) while walking it; that is, if the selector of a rule matches a node (or edge) in the data model, its set of styling instructions are applied to that node (or edge). Conflicts between rules matching the same node (or edge) are resolved by giving different priority to rules in the stylesheets and most specific selector if conflicting rules are in the same stylesheet.
Tools for manipulating GSS
IsaViz 2.0 is equipped with a GSS Editor, which lets you create stylesheets without writing a single line of RDF.

The system is developed by the Norwegian Bioinformatics Platform, a joint project between the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the University of Tromsø and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. The Genomic HyperBrowser is free software under the GNU GPL v3.
Use
The HyperBrowser allows a range of genomic investigations (for example, including regulation of gene expression, disease association or epigenetic modifications of the genome). The primary focus of the system is on statistical inference on relations between genomic tracks, though simpler descriptive statistics and analysis of individual tracks is also supported. An example of analysis is to investigate the relationship between histone modifications and gene expression, using ChIP-based tracks of histone modifications versus tracks of genes marked with expression values from a microarray experiment. The web server includes a sizable collection of annotation tracks, and also supports user-uploaded tracks. The Genomic HyperBrowser runs as a stand-alone system, but is tightly integrated with the Galaxy scientific workflow platform for handling of genomic data, especially at the user interface side.
A project to compile a differential disease regulome used the Genomic HyperBrowser in mapping transcription factors against all human diseases.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM%20%28magazine%29 | LM was a short-lived publication from Newsfield, the publishers of computer gaming titles such as Crash! for the ZX Spectrum and Zzap!64 for the Commodore 64. Issue 1 was launched in February 1987 and ran for four editions, although a preview issue 0 was given away with the Christmas 1986 editions of Crash, Zzap! and Amtix.
The meaning of the name LM was never officially revealed to the public, though it was variously said to be short for Leisure Magazine, Leisure Monthly, or the pseudonymous Lloyd Mangram, under whose name copy frequently appeared in both Crash! and Zzap64!. Its target demographic was male, and in the 18-30 age range; this was a segment that Heat would attempt to target at its launch in 1999 (also without success), before repositioning itself.
It was a bold move for Newsfield, who had been successful in the computing sector. While the magazine was met with great enthusiasm amongst its readers, advertising revenue became increasingly hard to secure, as partners felt it wasn't projecting the image they had hoped for, nor in the numbers expected. In the face of such losses, Newsfield's limited financial resources could not support a setup requiring a large editorial team with both London and Shropshire offices. The magazine ceased publication after four issues.
In tone, the magazine borrowed some of the irreverent in-house style of both Crash! and Zzap!64, and had a wide coverage of popular culture such as books, games, TV, movies, and music in a way that would become more common with the launch of magazines such as Loaded nearly a decade later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAH%20satellite%20temperature%20dataset | The UAH satellite temperature dataset, developed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, infers the temperature of various atmospheric layers from satellite measurements of the oxygen radiance in the microwave band, using Microwave Sounding Unit temperature measurements.
It was the first global temperature datasets developed from satellite information and has been used as a tool for research into surface and atmospheric temperature changes.
The dataset is published by John Christy et al. and formerly jointly with Roy Spencer.
Satellite temperature measurements
Satellites do not measure temperature directly. They measure radiances in various wavelength bands, from which temperature may be inferred. The resulting temperature profiles depend on details of the methods that are used to obtain temperatures from radiances. As a result, different groups that have analyzed the satellite data have obtained different temperature data (see Microwave Sounding Unit temperature measurements). Among these groups are Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The satellite series is not fully homogeneous - it is constructed from a series of satellites starting with the 1978 TIROS-N, where different satellites had similar but not identical instrumentation. The sensors deteriorate over time, and corrections are necessary for satellite drift and orbital decay. Particularly large differences between reconstructed temperature series occur at the few times when there is little temporal overlap between successive satellites, making intercalibration difficult.
Description of the data
The UAH dataset is produced by one of the groups reconstructing temperature from radiance.
UAH provide data on three broad levels of the atmosphere.
The Lower troposphere - TLT (originally called T2LT).
The mid troposphere - TMT
The lower stratosphere - TLS
Data are provided as temperature anomalies against the seasonal average over a past basis period, as well as in absolute temperature values. The baseline period for the published temperature anomalies was changed in January 2021 from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020.
All the data products can be downloaded from the UAH server.
Recent trend summary
To compare to the trend from the surface temperature record (+0.161±0.033 °C/decade from 1979 to 2012 according to NASA GISS) it is most appropriate to derive trends for the part of the atmosphere nearest the surface, i.e., the lower troposphere. Doing this, through December 2019, the UAH linear temperature trend 1979-2019 shows a warming of +0.13 °C/decade.
For comparison, a different group, Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), also analyzes the MSU data. From their data: the RSS linear temperature trend shows a warming of +0.208 °C/decade.
Geographic coverage
Data are available as global, hemispheric, zonal, and gridded averages. The global average covers 97-98% of the earth's surface, excluding only latitudes above +85 degrees, below -85 degrees and, in |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Body%20in%20the%20Library%20%28film%29 | The Body in the Library is a 3-part 1984 television film adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1942 detective novel The Body in the Library, which was co-produced by the BBC and the A&E Network. The film uses an adapted screenplay by T. R. Bowen and was directed by Silvio Narizzano. Starring Joan Hickson in the title role, it was the first film presented in the British television series Miss Marple and premiered in three parts from 26 to 28 December 1984 on BBC One. In the United States the film was first broadcast on 4 January 1986 as a part of PBS's Mystery!. In his review in The New York Times, critic John J. O'Connor wrote: Miss Christie would no doubt approve of Joan Hickson, the veteran British character actress who plays Miss Marple... This BBC/Arts & Entertainment co-production offers an especially good example of Agatha Christie in adaptation. The characters are nicely realized and the suspense holds. Miss Hickson is lovely, neither as awesome as Miss Rutherford nor as overly cute as Helen Hayes. And the supporting cast is admirable, particularly Gwen Watford as Dolly and David Horovitch as Inspector Slack. As someone notes about the case, "you'll have to admit it has all the bizarre elements of a cheap thriller." Once hooked, you won't be able to turn it off.
The Body in the Library was repeated on BBC Four in September and October 2013.
Plot
Miss Marple helps her neighbours the Bantrys when a lovely young girl is found dead in their library. The girl is traced to a seaside resort and the desperate family of a wealthy old man.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOPG-FM | WOPG-FM (89.9 MHz) is a Catholic radio station licensed to Esperance, New York and owned by Pax et Bonum, Inc. The station primarily carries satellite-fed programming by EWTN Radio. It is simulcast with co-owned WOPG 1460 AM in Albany. The radio studios and offices are on Kenwood Avenue in Bethlehem.
The station broadcasts at 1,400 watts effective radiated power (ERP) and serves the Mohawk Valley and Capital District.
History
WOPG is the newest radio station in the Mohawk Valley region, having signed on November 3, 2010. The station is a "rimshot" into both Albany and Utica, and has its transmitter at a former microwave tower located near Cherry Valley, New York.
In October 2013, Pax et Bonum announced that it would acquire WDDY (1460 AM) from The Walt Disney Company. It had carried programming from Radio Disney. When that network decided to give up most of its radio stations, AM 1460 was available for purchase.
Upon the deal's completion, that station was renamed WOPG and became a simulcast of WOPG-FM. Concurrently, the station relocated its studios to the 1460 transmitter site in Delmar, New York. The acquisition was made to improve WOPG-FM's reception in the Capital District, which is affected by terrain. For those listeners who can't clearly receive the FM signal in the Capital District, they can still listen to 1460 AM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary%20Terrestrial%20Component | Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) is a U.S. Federal Communications Commission-approved technique for using a "terrestrial" network of cell-phone towers to supplement a Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) provided by orbiting communications satellites. Satellite communications can be degraded by various factors, including attenuation in urban areas due to buildings etc. ATC allows the operators to reuse the same satellite spectrum in a terrestrial network to increase coverage and performance for their customers in highly shadowed regions e.g. within houses. In Europe ATC is known as complementary ground component (CGC).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceClaim | SpaceClaim is a solid modeling CAD (computer-aided design) software that runs on Microsoft Windows and developed by SpaceClaim Corporation. The company is headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts.
SpaceClaim Corporation was founded in 2005 to develop 3D solid modeling software for mechanical engineering. Its first CAD application was launched in 2007 and used an approach to solid modeling where design concepts are created by pulling, moving, filling, combining, and reusing 3D shapes.
It was acquired by Ansys in May 2014, Inc, and was integrated in subsequent versions of Ansys Simulation packages as a built-in 3D modeler.
SpaceClaim Corporation markets SpaceClaim Engineer directly to end-user and indirectly by other channels. SpaceClaim also licenses its software for OEMs, such as ANSYS, Flow International Corporation, CatalCAD.
Modeling technology
SpaceClaim's 3D direct modeling technology is primarily expressed through its user interface in four tools: pull, move, fill, and combine:
Pull contains most creation features found in traditional CAD systems, determining its behavior through users’ selection and though the use of secondary tool guides. For example, using the Pull tool on a face by default offsets the face, but using the Pull tool on an edge rounds the edge.
Move repositions components and geometry, and can also be used to create patterns (often called arrays).
Fill primarily removes geometry from a part by extending geometry to fill in the surrounding area. Popular uses include deleting rounds and holes from a model. SpaceClaim Engineer also includes more specialized tools for model preparation.
Combine performs boolean and splitting operations, such as merging parts and subtracting parts from each other.
These functions were developed in the modelling kernel ACIS licensed to SpaceClaim by Dassault Systemes.
History
In September 2005, Mike Payne, Danny Dean, David Taylor, and Blake Courter founded SpaceClaim Corporation. Mike Payne was previously a founder of PTC and SolidWorks. On April 1, 2007, SpaceClaim released SpaceClaim 2007 Professional, its first commercial release.
On September 30, 2008, Chris Randles become CEO and Mike Payne become chairman of the board.
On July 21, 2009, SpaceClaim announced support for multi-touch hardware.
On April 29, 2014, technical software company ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) acquired SpaceClaim for $85 million in cash, plus considerations. . ANSYS is specialized in developing software for product development simulation and analysis, and has sold a version of SpaceClaim (named ANSYS SpaceClaim Direct Modeler) as an option for its CAE software since 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonically%20enhanced%20digital%20audio | Harmonically Enhanced Digital Audio (HEDA) is a class of digital recordings created by using modern digital harmonic enhancement technology. With the proliferation of harmonic enhancement algorithms, pioneered by Crane Song's Dave Hill, a new class of harmonic enhancement algorithms have emerged.
Examples of algorithms used to create HEDA include the HEAT feature (available on Pro Tools HD 8.1 and later) and the multi-platform plug-ins Universal Audio's Studer A800, Slate Digital's Virtual Console Collection, Waves Non-Linear Summer, and Crane Song HEDD-192.
History
Development of harmonic enhancement was in its first stages in 1999 when Antares, developer of Autotune, noticed that the tube emulation feature in its microphone simulator was used more than its other features. In response, Antares created a specific plug-in, called Antares Tube, which implemented tube emulation. The algorithms for harmonic enhancement were just beginning and market interest was shown to be present. During its development period, harmonic exciters and harmonic enhancement plug-ins were looked down upon by most of the pro-audio industry.
Modern Harmonic Enhancement
HEAT (Harmonic Enhancement Algorithm Technology), released in 2010, is a plug-in featured on each track of HD editions of Pro Tools. Avid, developer of Pro Tools, enlisted the help of Dave Hill of Crane Song for its creation. Dave Hill's harmonic enhancement algorithms have been viewed as top-of-the-line by many professionals for years. Before Pro Tools 8.1, no Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) featured harmonic enhancement on each track.
Alternatives available on other platforms are Universal Audio's Studer A800 plug-in (released in late 2010), Slate Digital's Virtual Console Collection (VCC), Sonimus Satson, and Waves' Non-Linear Summer (NLS).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV%20Music%20%28Polish%20TV%20channel%29 | MTV Music (formerly VIVA) was a Polish 24h music and entertainment channel from Viacom International Media Networks Polska. The channel was launched on 10 June 2000 by the German VIVA Media AG.
History
The first music video played on the channel was "A wszystko to... (bo ciebie kocham)" by Ich Troje.
On 1 December 2005, VIVA Poland relocated its broadcast center from Cologne to London and began broadcasting on transponder 11075 V, which at the time was owned by MTV Networks Europe on Hot Bird 13°E. This move resulted in VIVA Poland taking the place of MTV Nederland on Hot Bird 13°E, while MTV Nederland shifted to the Astra 19.2°E satellite.
On 17 July 2012 VIVA Poland switched to 16:9 picture format and started to use the new logo. Since then VIVA has broadcast more reality programmes like Excused. Until 17 July 2012 the channel has broadcast FTA on Eutelsat Hot Bird 13A.
In 2014, the station cancelled local production programmes.
In 2015 - 2017, the station cancelled all reality programmes and continued playing only electronic dance music. Before the new broadcast schedule, the station was playing Polish and international pop, dance, rock and hip hop music.
On 17 October 2017, the channel was rebranded into MTV Music at 12:12.
The channel, along with VH1, closed on 3 March 2020, and replaced by MTV Music 24. The final music video played on the channel was "You Should Be Sad" by Halsey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimiliano%20Versace | Massimiliano Versace (born December 21, 1972, in Monfalcone, Italy) is the co-founder and the CEO of Neurala Inc, a Boston-based company building Artificial Intelligence emulating brain function in software and used in automating the process of visual inspection in manufacturing. He is also the founding Director of the Boston University Neuromorphics Lab. Massimiliano Versace is a Fulbright scholar and holds two PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Trieste, Italy and Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University, USA. He obtained his BSc from the University of Trieste, Italy.
Professional life
Versace grew up in Monfalcone, Italy and came to the United States in 2001 as a Fulbright scholar. He holds a masters in psychology from the University of Trieste and two PhDs (Experimental Psychology, University of Trieste, Italy—Cognitive and Neural Systems, Boston University, USA). As Artificial Intelligence Professor at Boston University, he founded the Neuromorphics Lab, and in 2009-2011 the lab led a main research thrust in the DARPA SyNAPSE in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard designing artificial nervous systems, based on deep learning, implemented on novel memristor-based devices. In December 2010, Versace published a cover-featured articled on the IEEE Spectrum describing the roadmap to develop a large scale brain model making use of memristor based technologies.
The model designed by Versace and his colleagues, termed Modular Neural Exploring Traveling Agent (MoNETA) was the first large-scale neural network model to implement whole-brain circuits to power a virtual and robotic agent compatibly with memristor-based hardware computations. A cover page article in IEEE Computer features the software platform and modeling implemented by the joint HP and Boston University teams, and the March 2012 edition of IEEE Pulse features his lab work on brain modeling.
From 2011 to 2016, Versace and his team at Neurala worked with NASA and successfully built deep learning models able to learn power navigation and perception for exploring novel environments in real-time.
His work has also been featured in TIME Magazines, New York Times, Nasdaq, The Boston Globe, Xconomy, IEEE Spectrum, Fortune, CNBC, The Chicago Tribune, TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Associated Press, Geek Magazine, and is a TEDx speaker.
In 2006, with two colleagues from Boston University, he co-founded Neurala Inc. to bring this technology to market in applications ranging from robots, to drones, and other smart devices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roccat | Roccat GmbH is a German computer accessories manufacturer based in Hamburg. It was also the titular sponsor of former German professional esports organization Team ROCCAT.
Since 2019, the company belongs to Turtle Beach Corporation.
History
Roccat GmbH was founded in 2006 by former Razer Vice President of Europe Renê Korte in Hamburg, Germany. Roccat also has offices in Taipei, Taiwan, and Cerritos, Los Angeles, United States.
In 2019, the company was bought by Turtle Beach Corporation for 19.2 million US dollars. Today, Roccat represents Turtle Beach's PC branch. The company has a turnover in the double-digit million range, brings around 15 new products onto the market every year and consists of 110 employees.
Products
Roccat is dedicated to gaming hardware and offers various products like mice, keyboards, headsets, mouse pads and other PC accessories. The Vulcan line is Roccat's flagship series of keyboards.
