https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph%20%28data%20visualization%29 | In the context of data visualization, a glyph is any marker, such as an arrow or similar marking, used to specify part of a visualization. This is a representation to visualize data where the data set is presented as a collection of visual objects. These visual objects are collectively called a glyph. It helps visualizing data relation in data analysis, statistics, etc. by using any custom notation.
Constructing glyphs
Glyph construction can be a complex process when there are many dimensions to be represented in the visualization. Maguire et al proposed a taxonomy based approach to glyph-design that uses a tree to guide the visual encodings used to representation various data items.
Duffy et al created perhaps one of the most complex glyph representations with their representation of sperm movement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCbase | UCbase is a database of ultraconserved sequences (UCRs or UCEs) that were first described by Bejerano, G. et al. in 2004. They are highly conserved genome regions that share 100% identity among human, mouse and rat. UCRs are 481 sequences longer than 200 bases. They are frequently located at genomic regions involved in cancer, differentially expressed in human leukemias and carcinomas and in some instances regulated by microRNAs. The first release of UCbase was published by Taccioli, C. et al. in 2009. Recent updates include new annotation based on hg19 Human genome, information about disorders related to the chromosome coordinates using the SNOMED CT classification, a query tool to search for SNPs, and a new text box to directly interrogate the database using a MySQL interface. Moreover, a sequence comparison tool allows the researchers to match selected sequences against ultraconserved elements located in genomic regions involved in specific disorders. To facilitate the interactive, visual interpretation of UCR chromosomal coordinates, the authors have implemented the graph visualization feature of UCbase creating a link to the UCSC Genome Browser. UCbase 2.0 does not provide microRNAs (miRNAs) information anymore focusing only on UCRs. The official release of UCbase 2.0 was published in 2014.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudant | Cloudant is an IBM software product, which is primarily delivered as a cloud-based service. Cloudant is a non-relational, distributed database service of the same name. Cloudant is based on the Apache-backed CouchDB project and the open source BigCouch project.
Cloudant's service provides integrated data management, search, and analytics engine designed for web applications. Cloudant scales databases on the CouchDB framework and provides hosting, administrative tools, analytics and commercial support for CouchDB and BigCouch. Cloudant's distributed CouchDB service is used the same way as standalone CouchDB, with the added advantage of data being redundantly distributed over multiple machines.
Cloudant was acquired by IBM from the start-up company of the same name. The acquisition was announced on February 24, 2014, The acquisition was completed on March 4 of that year.
By March 31, 2018, Cloudant Shared Plan will be retired and migrated to IBM Cloud.
History
Cloudant was founded by Alan Hoffman, Adam Kocoloski, and Michael Miller. The three met in the physics department at MIT where they worked with large data sets from experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In early 2008 their ideas for fixing the "big data problem" caught the attention of Silicon Valley-based Y Combinator, which resulted in $20,000 seed funding. The company also received an early seed round of $1 million from Avalon Ventures in August 2010.
Cloudant was designed for cloud computing, automatically distributing data across multiple servers in addition to scaling the database to accommodate web applications.
In August 2010, Cloudant released free BigCouch under an Apache License(2.0). Cloudant offered services including support, consulting services and training.
Cloudant delivered their first product in the third quarter of 2010. Cloudant has over 2500 customers for its hosted service as of January 2011.
In November 2010, Cloudant was recognized as one of ‘10 Cool Open-Source Startups’ by CRN. Cloudant was regularly recognized in the local Boston startup community, named as one of the ‘Top 5 Database Startups’ and ‘Top Ten Cloud Computing Startups’ in Boston’s popular technology column by Joe Kinsella, ‘High Tech in the Hub.’.
On February 24, 2014, IBM announced an agreement to acquire Cloudant. The acquisition closed in March, after which Cloudant joined IBM's Information and Analytics Group.
In September, 2016, IBM Cloudant completed the donation of the BigCouch project to The Apache Software Foundation, resulting in the release of Apache CouchDB 2.0. CouchDB 2.0 incorporates many of the improvements made by Cloudant and BigCouch to the original CouchDB project, including clustering capabilities, a declarative query language and performance enhancements.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe%20Koppel | Moshe Koppel is an American-Israeli computer scientist, Talmud scholar and political activist.
Koppel was born and raised in New York, where he received a traditional Jewish education. He studied at Yeshivat Har Etzion, received a B.A. from Yeshiva University and in 1979 completed his doctorate in mathematics under the supervision of Martin Davis at the Courant Institute of New York University. He spent a post-doctoral year at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton before moving to Israel in 1980. He has been a member of the Department of Computer Science in Bar-Ilan University since then.
Computer science
Koppel is best known for his research on authorship attribution. Together with Shlomo Engelson Argamon and Jonathan Schler, he has shown that statistical analysis of word usage in a document can be used to determine an author's gender, age, native language and personality type. The findings regarding gender generated considerable controversy. In a string of papers, Koppel and colleagues solved many of the main problems in authorship, including authorship verification and authorship attribution with huge open candidate sets. In recent years, Koppel has published several papers in social choice theory, offering (in joint work with Avraham Diskin) formal definitions of a number of concepts, including disproportionality, and voting power the definitions of which had been the subject of controversy. In related work, Koppel and colleagues have shown how the wisdom of crowds could be optimally exploited. Along with Nathan Netanyahu and Omid David, Koppel showed that, using only records of games played by grandmasters, a chess program could be trained essentially from scratch to play at grandmaster level. A program designed by Omid David based on these ideas placed second in the speed chess competition in the 2008 World Computer Chess Championship.
Talmud
Koppel has written two books on the Talmud. Meta-Halakhah showed how ideas formalized in mathematical logic could be used to explicate how the ancient Rabbis understood the unfolding of Jewish law. Seder Kinnim is a mathematical commentary on Tractate Kinnim, generally regarded as the most difficult tractate in the Mishna.
Koppel wrote a monograph on the uses of concepts in probability theory for understanding Rabbinic decision methods. Together with Ely Merzbach, he founded and edited the journal Higayon that is devoted to related topics.
Koppel's interest in the Talmud is occasionally reflected in his computer science research. He has applied his authorship attribution methods to proving that the 19th century Baghdadi rabbi known as Ben Ish Chai was the actual author of a book for which he did not take credit. Koppel also showed that the Harson collection (), a trove of letters attributed to early Hassidic masters were in fact all forgeries.
Koppel has also developed methods for automated authorship analysis of biblical texts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pankaj%20K.%20Agarwal | Pankaj Kumar Agarwal is an Indian computer scientist and mathematician researching algorithms in computational geometry and related areas. He is the RJR Nabisco Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at Duke University, where he has been chair of the computer science department since 2004. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in computer science in 1989 from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, under the supervision of Micha Sharir.
Books
Agarwal is the author or co-author of:
Intersection and Decomposition Algorithms for Planar Arrangements (Cambridge University Press, 1991, ). The topics of this book are algorithms for, and the combinatorial geometry of, arrangements of lines and arrangements of more general types of curves in the Euclidean plane and the real projective plane. The topics covered in this monograph include Davenport–Schinzel sequences and their application to the complexity of single cells in arrangements, levels in arrangements, algorithms for building arrangements in part or in whole, and ray shooting in arrangements.
Davenport–Schinzel Sequences and Their Geometric Applications (with Micha Sharir, Cambridge University Press, 1995, ). This book concerns Davenport–Schinzel sequences, sequences of symbols drawn from a given alphabet with the property that no subsequence of more than some finite length consists of two alternating symbols. As the book discusses, these sequences and combinatorial bounds on their length have many applications in combinatorial and computational geometry, including bounds on lower envelopes of sets of functions, single cells in arrangements, shortest paths, and dynamically changing geometric structures.
Combinatorial Geometry (with János Pach, Wiley, 1995, ). This book, less specialized than the prior two, is split into two sections. The first, on packing and covering problems, includes topics such as Minkowski's theorem, sphere packing, the representation of planar graphs by tangent circles, the planar separator theorem. The second section, although mainly concerning arrangements, also includes topics from extremal graph theory, Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension, and discrepancy theory.
Awards and honors
Agarwal was elected as a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2002. He is also former Duke Bass Fellow and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow. He was the recipient of a National Young Investigator Award in 1993. Before holding the RJR Nabisco Professorship, he was the Earl D. Mclean Jr. Professor of Computer Science at Duke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile%20security | Mobile security, or mobile device security, is the protection of smartphones, tablets, and laptops from threats associated with wireless computing. It has become increasingly important in mobile computing. The security of personal and business information now stored on smartphones is of particular concern.
Increasingly, users and businesses use smartphones not only to communicate, but also to plan and organize their work and private life. Within companies, these technologies are causing profound changes in the organization of information systems and have therefore become the source of new risks. Indeed, smartphones collect and compile an increasing amount of sensitive information to which access must be controlled to protect the privacy of the user and the intellectual property of the company.
The majority of attacks are aimed at smartphones. These attacks take advantage of vulnerabilities discovered in smartphones that can result from different modes of communication, including Short Message Service (SMS, text messaging), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), wireless connections, Bluetooth, and GSM, the de facto international standard for mobile communications. Smartphone operating systems or browsers are another weakness. Some malware makes use of the common user's limited knowledge. Only 2.1% of users reported having first-hand contact with mobile malware, according to a 2008 McAfee study, which found that 11.6% of users had heard of someone else being harmed by the problem. Yet, it is predicted that this number will rise.
Security countermeasures are being developed and applied to smartphones, from security best practices in software to the dissemination of information to end users. Countermeasures can be implemented at all levels, including operating system development, software design, and user behavior modifications.
Challenges of smartphone mobile security
Threats
A smartphone user is exposed to various threats when they use their phone. In just the last two quarters of 2012, the number of unique mobile threats grew by 261%, according to ABI Research. These threats can disrupt the operation of the smartphone and transmit or modify user data. Applications must guarantee privacy and integrity of the information they handle. In addition, since some apps could themselves be malware, their functionality and activities should be limited (for example, restricting the apps from accessing location information via the Global Positioning System (GPS), blocking access to the user's address book, preventing the transmission of data on the network, or sending SMS messages that are billed to the user). Malicious apps can also be installed without the owners' permission or knowledge.
Vulnerability in mobile devices refers to aspects of system security that are susceptible to attacks. A vulnerability occurs when there is system weakness, an attacker has access to the weakness, and the attacker has competency to exploit the weakness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s%20Image%20Network%20Awards | Women's Image Network (WIN) is a charity that produces The Women's Image Awards, "Advancing a gender-balanced world and increasing the value of women and girls by celebrating outstanding film and television." The awards show is produced during the Hollywood awards season to promote deserving media and drive attention to feature films also contending for Golden Globe and Academy Awards.
WIN was founded in 1993 to promote gender parity because, to the extent that women's voices remain silent, everyone is robbed of their contribution. Its founder, film producer and director Phyllis Stuart, known for her films Wild Daze and Bert Stern: The Original Madman made WIN successful through the ongoing support, advice and assistance of many seasoned entertainment professionals including Sherry Lansing and Arthur Hiller, two of WIN's founding advisory board members.
Selecting only media submitted from film studios and television networks, their jury adjudicates and nominates work which either tells a dimensional female character's story or nominates work that is produced, written or directed by a woman. In this way, these awards celebrate both male and female artists whose film and television work also increases the value of women and girls.
In addition to awarding nominated film and television work, WIN honors deserving individuals, including Lauren Bacall, Senator Barbara Boxer, Lily Tomlin, Cecilia DeMille Presley, Abigail Disney, Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Suzanne Roberts, Maria Arena Bell, Diane Ladd, Jane Campion, Anne Archer, Carrie Fisher and Irena Medavoy, among others.
The WIN Awards 1993
In 1993, WIN held its first awards ceremony, honoring Tichi Wilkerson Kassel with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Tichi was the first female publisher of The Hollywood Reporter and co-founder of Women In Film. Her friend Charles Champlin (a former Los Angeles Times arts editor and film critic) presented her award. Film producer Laura Ziskin (Spider-Man) (who also founded Stand Up to Cancer before she succumbed to the disease at age 61) was honored that same year and her former boss, producer Jon Peters, presented her Woman of The Year tribute.
The WIN Awards 1994
In 1994, for WIN, producer Phyllis Stuart created and executive-produced the ABC Primetime Special "Fifty Years of Funny Females" starring John Ritter, Annie Potts, Paula Poundstone, Debbie Allen and Pam Stone. This clip show aired twice on ABC and again on Lifetime Television.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social%20project%20management | Social project management is a non-traditional way of organizing projects and performing project management. It is, in its simplest form, the outcome of the application of the Social networking (i.e. Facebook) paradigm to the context of project ecosystems, as a continued response to the movement toward distributed, virtual teams. Distributed virtual teams lose significant communication value normally present when groups are collocated. Because of this, social project management is motivated by a philosophy of the maximizing of open, and continuous communication, both inside and outside the team. Because it is a response to new organizing structures that require technologically mediated communications, Social Project Management is most often enabled by the use of Collaborative software inspired by social media. This paradigm enables the project work to be published as activity stream and publicized via the integration with the social network of an organization. Social project management embraces both the historical best practices of Project management, and the open collaboration of Web 2.0.
While Project management 2.0 embraced a philosophical shift away from centralized command and control and focused strongly on the egalitarian collaboration of a team, social project management recognizes the important role of the project manager, especially on large projects. Additionally, while Project management 2.0 minimized the importance of computer-supported scheduling, social project management recognizes that while many projects can be performed using emergent planning and control, large, enterprise projects require centralized control accompanied by seamless collaboration.
History
The concept of social project management emerged during 2008 when some developers of project management tools started to use the term to differentiate between traditional project management tools and tools for Agile software development.
While some have used the terminology Project Management 2.0 and social project management interchangeably, they exhibit significant differences in practice.
Communigram-NET, a network of excellence on social project management, has been set up since November 2011.
Key concepts (how social project management differs from Project Management 2.0)
Social business software(Social Business software), of which social project management is a subset, powers business performance based upon its ability to assist teams in managing exceptions. Because it is based on the concepts of Social Business Software in general, Social Project Management software is differentiated from other collaborative project software by three key areas of functionality:
First, social project management software is embedded into the social network of the larger organization.
One goal that Project management 2.0 systems realized was the need to create project-based collaboration systems. However, PM2.0 tools were often adopted at the project level, and not the enterpris |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult%20Swim%20%28British%20and%20Irish%20TV%20programming%20block%29 | Adult Swim is a late night programming block which has sporadically aired on various channels in the United Kingdom and Ireland since 2006. As of 2023, Adult Swim programmes are broadcast on E4, E4 Extra and available for streaming on the Channel 4 streaming service.
The block first launched on 8 July 2006 before closing in August 2013. It was later relaunched on 10 September 2015 before closing again on 1 September 2017. The block was later relaunched for the second time on 15 February 2019 on E4 and E4 Extra.
In addition, Adult Swim also maintains a website and a mobile TV service which are run separately from its sister channel, Cartoon Network, unlike its American counterpart.
History
Adult Swim is an American channel block that airs on the United States cable network Cartoon Network after the watershed, and features a mix of original and syndicated programming geared towards an adult audience. A Canadian version was launched as the late night counterpart to Cartoon Network Canada in 2012.
Some early Adult Swim programmes, notably Space Ghost Coast to Coast, appeared on Cartoon Network UK, predominantly in the late-90s evening block "AKA Cartoon Network" alongside older-skewing CN fare and UK productions such as Cult Toons; however, for Adult Swim's more edgy shows which followed, alternative homes had to be found.
Many of Adult Swim's original programmes have been aired in the UK on channels aimed at older audiences, having either been sold individually or as part of designated AS program blocks.
In the past, such blocks have aired on Bravo, TCM 2, FX (later Fox), and Comedy Central.
In January 2012, Adult Swim began a one-hour weekly broadcast on Turner's TCM 2 channel, marking the first time that Adult Swim has aired on one of Turner's own channels in the UK and Ireland. The programming block ended in August 2013, due to the closure of TCM 2.
Adult Swim returned to UK and Irish television with a new block on Fox starting 10 September 2015 at 23:00. In late 2016, the Fox block began airing on Thursday nights between midnight and 01:00. During late 2016 this ran concurrently with a Friday-night block on truTV, then owned by Turner, making several series available to Freeview users. The TRUTV block stopped at the end of 2016, Turner selling the channel to Sony Pictures Television in early 2017. The AS programming block ceased on Fox on 1 September 2017. Following the demise of the Fox and truTV blocks, Rick and Morty was sold to Comedy Central UK, which premiered the show's third season in the UK, and Netflix.
It was announced in January 2019 that Channel 4 had partnered with Adult Swim to introduce a new one-hour Adult Swim programming block would be introduced on E4 from February 2019. It was also revealed that Channel 4 would air numerous episodes of AS content on its online streaming and catch-up platform, All 4 as well as exclusively airing the upcoming fourth season of Rick and Morty on Channel 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%20O%27Hearn | Peter William O'Hearn (born 13 July 1963 in Halifax, Nova Scotia), formerly a research scientist at Meta, is a Distinguished Engineer at Lacework and a Professor of Computer science at University College London (UCL). He has made significant contributions to formal methods for program correctness. In recent years these advances have been employed in developing industrial software tools that conduct automated analysis of large industrial codebases.
Education
O'Hearn attained a BSc degree in computer science from Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1985), followed by MSc (1987) and PhD (1991) degrees from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. His dissertation was on Semantics of Non-interference: A natural approach, supervised by Robert D. Tennent.
Career and research
O'Hearn is best known for separation logic, a theory he developed with John C. Reynolds that unearthed new domains for scaling logical reasoning about code. This built on prior research from O'Hearn and David Pym on logic for resources, termed bunched logic. With Stephen Brookes, Carnegie Mellon University, O'Hearn created Concurrent Separation Logic (CSL), extending the theory further. Tony Hoare, in discussing the grand challenge of program verification, described CSL as "solving two problems...concurrecy and object orientation".
He conducted a study of programming languages which were similar to ALGOL, with his former doctoral advisor Robert D. Tennent, which became the book Algol-Like Languages.
Separation logic has given rise to the Infer Static Analyzer (Facebook Infer), a static program analysis utility developed by O'Hearn's team at Facebook. After 20 plus years in academia, O'Hearn began working at Facebook in 2013 with the acquisition of Monoidics Ltd, a startup he cofounded. Since its inception, Infer has enabled Facebook engineers to resolve tens of thousands of bugs before reaching production. It was open sourced in 2016, and is used by Amazon Inc, Spotify, Mozilla, Uber, and others. In 2017, O'Hearn and the team open sourced RacerD, an automated static race condition detection tool that reduces the time it takes to flag potential problems in concurrent software, as part of the Infer platform.
O'Hearn was an assistant professor at Syracuse University, New York, United States, from 1990 to 1995.
He was a reader in computer science at Queen Mary University of London from 1996 to 1999 and then a full professor at Queen Mary until his move to University College London. At UCL he was granted a Chair sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering and Microsoft Research. In 1997 he was a visiting scientist at Carnegie Mellon University and in 2006 he was a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge. He now shares his time working as a Distinguished Engineer at Lacework and a professor at UCL.
Awards and honours
In 2007, O'Hearn was granted a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. In 2011, O'Hearn and Samin Ishtiaq were awarded a Most Influent |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web%20navigation | Web navigation refers to the process of navigating a network of information resources in the World Wide Web, which is organized as hypertext or hypermedia. The user interface that is used to do so is called a web browser.
A central theme in web design is the development of a web navigation interface that maximizes usability.
A website overall navigational scheme includes several navigational pieces such as global, local, supplemental, and contextual navigation; all of these are vital aspects of the broad topic of web navigation. Hierarchical navigation systems are vital as well since it is the primary navigation system. It allows for the user to navigate within the site using levels alone, which is often seen as restricting and requires additional navigation systems to better structure the website. The global navigation of a website, as another segment of web navigation, serves as the outline and template in order to achieve an easy maneuver for the users accessing the site, while local navigation is often used to help the users within a specific section of the site. All these navigational pieces fall under the categories of various types of web navigation, allowing for further development and for more efficient experiences upon visiting a webpage.
History
Web navigation came about with the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee invented it. Once the World Wide Web was available, web navigation increasingly became a major aspect and role in jobs and everyday lives. With one-third of the world’s population now using the internet, web navigation maintains a global use in today's ever evolving international society. Web navigation is not restricted to just computers, either, as mobile phones and tablets have added avenues for access to the ever-growing information on the web today. The most recent wave of technology which has affected web navigation is the introduction and growth of the smartphone. Web navigation has evolved from a restricted action, to something that many people across the world now do on a daily basis.
Types of web navigation
The use of website navigation tools allow for a website's visitors to experience the site with the most efficiency and the least incompetence. A website navigation system is analogous to a road map which enables webpage visitors to explore and discover different areas and information contained within the website.
There are many different types of website navigation:
Hierarchical website navigation
The structure of the website navigation is built from general to specific. This provides a clear, simple path to all the web pages from anywhere on the website.
Global website navigation
Global website navigation shows the top level sections/pages of the website. It is available on each page and lists the main content sections/pages of the website.
Local website navigation
Local navigation is the links within the text of a given web page, linking to other pages within the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawl%20Space%20%28Bob%27s%20Burgers%29 | "Crawl Space" is the second episode of the first season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers. The episode originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 16, 2011.
The episode was written by Loren Bouchard and Jim Dauterive, and directed by Kyoung Hee Lim. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 5.066 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by David Herman, Larry Murphy and Renée Taylor.
The original airing of this episode was dedicated to the memory of television producer Aron Abrams, who was found dead of a heart attack on Christmas Day, 2010.
Plot
Linda annoys the family with her cleaning and preparations for her parents' visit. Bob decides to make his in-laws sleep in Gene's smelly room. When Linda forces Bob to fix the leak on the ceiling, he discovers a crawl space in the attic. As Grandma Gloria (Renée Taylor) and Grandpa Al arrive, Bob realizes that he can pretend that he's stuck in the crawlspace to avoid them.
Linda sends family friend and contractor Teddy (Larry Murphy) to rescue Bob, who tells him to come back the next day, after the in-laws leave. During the night, the kids overhear Gloria and Al having sex in Gene's bed; Tina incorporates the sounds into a sexual-zombie nightmare, while Gene samples them for his keyboard. The next day, Gloria decides that she and Al will be extending their stay for another night. Linda finds out that Bob lied about being stuck before and is now really trapped, so she cancels Teddy's visit. Bob starts to go crazy, recording himself with a video camera and befriending Louise's green nightlight. Meanwhile, Gloria makes a tuna burger recipe called Tunami and Linda makes it the Burger of the Day. Bob dreams that he goes into a bar and later encounters Louise's nightlight, who alerts him about Gloria's subversive actions (The Tunami). The scene in the bar and the restroom facilities resembles a similar scene in the horror movie The Shining (1980).
While Bob is trapped, the kids get detention: Louise for lying about Bob's death (and reappearance as a ghost), Gene for presenting his NSFS samplings as a history report, and Tina for sneaking above the boys' changing room. The concerned counselor, Mr. Frond, believes they are "kids in crisis" and conducts a home visit, almost immediately threatening to call social services. As he is making the call, Gloria finds Bob unconscious and breaks through the kitchen wall, then orders Mr. Frond to hang up and never interfere with the family again. As she and Al leave, Louise fights Bob for her nightlight.
Reception
In its original American broadcast, "Crawl Space" was viewed by an estimated 5.066 million viewers and received a 2.5 rating/6% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49, a drop from the pilot episode.
Rowan Kaiser from The A.V. Club rated the episode a C, expressing disappointment with the "evil mother-in-law comes to visit!" cliché and feeling that many of the jokes fell |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden%20Shield%20Project | The Golden Shield Project (), also named National Public Security Work Informational Project, is the Chinese nationwide network-security fundamental constructional project by the e-government of the People's Republic of China. This project includes a security management information system, a criminal information system, an exit and entry administration information system, a supervisor information system, a traffic management information system, among others.
The Golden Shield Project is one of the 12 important "golden" projects. The other "golden" projects are Golden Customs (also known as Golden Gate) (for customs), Golden Tax (for taxation), Golden Macro, Golden Finance (for financial management), Golden Auditing, Golden Security, Golden Agriculture (for agricultural information), Golden Quality (for quality supervision), Golden Water (for water conservancy information), Golden Credit, and Golden Discipline projects.
The Golden Shield Project also manages the Bureau of Public Information and Network Security Supervision, which is a bureau that is widely believed, though not officially claimed, to operate a subproject called the Great Firewall of China (GFW) which is a censorship and surveillance project that blocks data from foreign countries that may be unlawful in the PRC. It is operated by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) of the government of China. This subproject was initiated in 1998 and began operations in November 2003. It has also seemingly been used to attack international web sites using Man-on-the-side DDoS, for example GitHub on 2015/03/28.
History
The political and ideological background of the Golden Shield Project is considered to be one of Deng Xiaoping's favorite sayings in the early 1980s: "If you open the window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in." The saying is related to a period of economic reform in China that became known as the "socialist market economy". Superseding the political ideologies of the Cultural Revolution, the reform led China towards a market economy and opened up the market for foreign investors. Nonetheless, despite the economic freedom, values and political ideas of the Chinese Communist Party have had to be protected by "swatting flies" of other unwanted ideologies.
The Internet in China arrived in 1994, as the inevitable consequence of and supporting tool for the "socialist market economy". As availability of the Internet has gradually increased, it has become a common communication platform and tool for trading information.
The Ministry of Public Security took initial steps to control Internet use in 1997, when it issued comprehensive regulations governing its use. The key sections, Articles 46, are the following:
In 1998, the Chinese Communist Party feared that the China Democracy Party (CDP) would breed a powerful new network that the party elites might not be able to control. The CDP was immediately banned, followed by arrests and imprisonment. That same year, the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch%20Hurd | Arch Hurd is an operating system based on Arch Linux, but uses the GNU Hurd kernel instead of the Linux kernel.
The Arch Hurd project was founded on an Arch Linux forum thread in January 2010 and, after a few weeks with many contributions, progressed to the point where it could boot in a virtual machine. It aims to provide an Arch-like user environment (BSD-style init scripts, i686-optimised packages, use of the pacman package manager, rolling-release, and a KISS set up) on the Hurd which is stable enough for use.
, the official packages were last updated in May 2019.
Despite having a small development team, much progress has been made since its founding, such as booting on real hardware, packaging everything for a basic web server, and the production of an unofficial graphical LiveCD.
In June 2011, Arch Hurd announced successful integration of Device Driver Environment (DDE) — the framework for Linux drivers on Hurd, which improves the network hardware support in the distribution and makes it nearly usable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV%20Music%20%28British%20and%20Irish%20TV%20channel%29 | MTV Music is a British pay television channel operated by Paramount Networks UK & Australia. The brand was first launched in the UK and Ireland before launching in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. Unlike other MTV Music channels, this channel offers subtitles on selected programmes.
History
Viacom International Media Network announced the introduction of a non-stop music channel in January 2011. As the main MTV brand has deviated from its original purpose and increased competition from other music channels and online services, MTV addressed this issue by launching a new music channel MTV Music. The channel launched on 1 February 2011 in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. The channel replaced MTV Shows.
On the 1 February 2011, on Sky UK and Sky Ireland, MTV and MTV Shows swapped positions in the EPG where MTV became part of the Entertainment channels and MTV Shows was moved to the Music channels and renamed MTV Music. MTV Shows programming was transferred to MTV, while MTV Music was dedicated to playing music videos, similarly like its sister channels MTV Base, MTV Classic, MTV Dance, MTV Hits, MTV Rocks and MTV Live.
MTV Music began broadcasting in widescreen in the UK & Ireland on 28 March 2012. On 15 February 2016, MTV Music +1 launched in the UK on Sky channel 358, replacing the standard-definition version of MTV Live HD. Following the closures of MTV OMG, MTV Rocks and Club MTV on 20 July 2020, MTV Music broadcasts a weekly chart based on MTV Rocks programming on Sundays. The timeshift channel also closed as part of this change, along with the timeshifts for MTV and Comedy Central Extra.
On 8 September 2022 at 22:00 BST, MTV Music (alongside with MTV Hits, MTV 80s, MTV 90s in the United Kingdom/Ireland and MTV Live in Europe, MENA, Latin America, and Asia) temporarily suspended its regularly scheduled programming, due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. As a result of the suspension of regular programming on all of MTV's music channels in the United Kingdom, two music video programmes were created in order to fill the gap, one being "Programming Pause" (which it was broadcast from 8 September 2022 at 22:55 until 10 September 2022 at 06:00 BST) and the other being "Nothing but Music" (which it was broadcast from 10 September 2022 at 06:00 BST until 13 September 2022 at 06:00 BST). Both of these programmes played laid back and sombre music videos. Regular programming for all of MTV's music channels in the United Kingdom/Ireland were resumed on 13 September 2022 at 06:00 BST, while MTV Live resumed its regularly scheduled programing 4 hours earlier at 02:00 BST.
On 19 September 2022, all of MTV's music channels in the United Kingdom/Ireland temporarily suspended its regularly scheduled programming (including teleshopping programmes) and it was replaced with the music programme "Nothing but Music" (also known "Nothing but Hits" on MTV Hits, "Nothing but 80s" on MTV 80s and "Nothing but 90s" on MTV 90s) on that day |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Nuclear%20Data%20Center | The National Nuclear Data Center is an organization based in the Brookhaven National Laboratory that acts as a repository for data regarding nuclear chemistry, such as nuclear structure, decay, and reaction data, as well as historical information regarding previous experiments and literature. According to the ResearchGATE scientific network, "The National Nuclear Data Center NNDC collects, evaluates, and disseminates nuclear physics data for basic nuclear research and applied nuclear technologies." The current Center Head is Dr. David Brown.
History
The predecessor group to the NNDC was founded in 1951 when a group known as the Brookhaven Neutron Cross Section Compilation Group was formed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 1955 this group published the reference book "BNL-325," which had to do with the cross-sections of neutrons. After being renamed the Sigma Center, the group was moved to the Reactor Physics Division of the Nuclear Engineering Department in the Brookhaven Lab in 1960. At around that time, the Cross Section Evaluation Group was formed in the same division, and the two groups worked closely together and shared support personnel. In 1964, nuclear theorist Dr. Charles Porter, head of the Cross Section Evaluation Group, died, and Dr. John Stehn, head of the Sigma Center, ended up becoming the acting head of both the Sigma Center and the Group.
1967 saw the two groups merge into the National Neutron Cross Section Center (NNCSC), with Dr. Sol Pearlstein as acting director, officially being appointed Director of the NNCSC in 1968. In 1977, the Center was given the additional responsibility for nuclear structure and decay data by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), the predecessor of the Department of Energy, and its name was then changed to the National Nuclear Data Center. Dr. Charles Dunford served as Center Head from 1992 to 2002, with the exception of a two-year leave of absence (1993-1995) when he served as Section Head for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Nuclear Data Section. During his leave of absence Mulki Bhat was named Acting Center Head. Since then, the head has been succeeded by Dr. Pavel Oblozinskiy, Dr. Michal Herman and then Dr. Alejandro Sonzogni and presently Dr. David Brown.
Present activities
The NNDC carries out its original mission of nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry data storage, evaluation and dissemination to this day. This data is to be used "for basic nuclear research, applied nuclear technologies including energy, shielding, medical and homeland security." In 2004, the NNDC began a modernization program which consisted of digitization of data and offering new web services. As part of the program, the Center has upgraded to Linux-based data storage and computing platforms, as well as implementing the additional use of Java and Sybase relational database software.

Production
The plot of the series, which involved pre-colonial setting, urged the producers to build sets on various locations such as Pagsanjan in Laguna, Bolinao, Pangasinan, and Bagac, Bataan. The scope of the series would require the filming of the integral scenes on-location as opposed to what the producers have done for Encantadia (a television series) a previous high fantasy production which was shot mostly in soundstages. However, to avoid the need for the reconstruction of some of the sets as the on-location shoots are usually ravaged by storms, and also to lessen maintenance cost as well as for the production to avoid acoustic issues by shooting in a controlled environment, they also used the network's temporary soundstages at Marilao, Bu |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDC%20Watch | LDC Watch is a global network of national, regional and international civil society organisations (CSOs), alliances and movements based in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), defined by the United Nations (UN). It acts as a coordinating body for LDC civil society to advocate, campaign and network for the implementation of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA) for LDCs for the Decade 2022-2031 and other Internationally Agreed Development Goals (IADGs) such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the past and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at present.
LDC Watch strives to go beyond the DPoA in addressing poverty, hunger, social injustices and human rights in the LDCs. LDC Watch, therefore, has been raising its voice and articulating its perspectives in a multi-stakeholder framework, engaging with the United Nations, LDC governments and their development partners, both as partner and pressure groups.
LDC Watch has Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and is accredited to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
History
LDC Watch evolved out of the NGO Forum process that was held in parallel to the Third UN Conference on LDCs (LDC-III) in Brussels in 2001. By the end of the decade, LDC Watch firmly established its position as the foremost representative of LDC civil society. The Office of the UN Secretary-General mandated LDC Watch, as its civil society partner, to globally coordinate the civil society track towards and at the LDC-IV, which culminated with a parallel Civil Society Forum. The Civil Society Forum Declaration is acknowledged in Paragraph 17 of the Istanbul Political Declaration.
At the present, it has been continuing its policy advocacy and campaigns towards monitoring and reviewing the implementation of the DPoA as well as defending the interests of the LDCs mainly in the international trade (World Trade Organisation), climate (UNFCCC) and Post-2015/SDGs negotiations.
Vision
LDC Watch envisions a world - free of LDCs - fully enjoying justice, dignity, peace and human rights.
Mission
LDC Watch aims to draw on the strength, expertise and commitment of LDC civil society to engage with their governments and the international community towards effective implementation of the IPoA including other IADGs such as the newly adopted SDGs.
Objectives
To increase awareness on the DPoA and its implementation, with LDC and global civil society, parliamentarians, LDC governments and development partners, the UN system, international organisations, multilateral institutions and the media, as relevant stakeholders.
To enhance the capacity of LDC civil society to effectively advocate, campaign and network with relevant stakeholders for the implementation of the IPoA.
To promote increased attention and delivery of the specific commitments to LDCs in the global development processes and other IADGs, such as the SDGs, the Financing for Development (FfD), and the Global Partne |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocare | Eurocare (The European Alcohol Policy Alliance) is a network of some 50 voluntary and non-governmental organisations working on the prevention and reduction of alcohol-related harm across Europe. Its mission is to advocate for prevention of alcohol-related harm in Europe through effective evidence-based policy.
History
Eurocare was founded in 1990. Starting with 9 member organizations in 1990, it now includes some 50 organisations. Eurocare has a Secretariat in Brussels, is democratically structured and is governed by a General Assembly.
Eurocare organisations are involved in:
Research and advocacy
The provision of workplace and school based programs
The provision of counselling services
The provision of information to the public
Residential support for problem drinkers
Eurocare is a member of the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance (GAPA) and the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA).
Focus
Eurocare work focuses on raising awareness among European, national and regional decision makers on the harms caused by alcohol (social, health and economic burden) ensuring that these are taken into consideration in all relevant EU policy discussions. Eurocare believes that alcohol is a key health determinant responsible for 7.4% of all ill-health and early death in Europe and should not be treated just as any other marketable commodity. Eurocare considers that the means of alcohol production, distribution, consumption and control must be tackled at a European level and such action must be supportive of national control policies.
Funding
Eurocare is supported through members’ contributions, both in membership fees and staff time. Additionally, Eurocare receives some funding from the European Commission and the WHO for various projects and publications. Eurocare does not accept any funding from the alcohol industry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeXML | TeXML [tɛχːml] is – as a process – a TeX-based alternative to XSL-FO.
TeXML has been developed as an open-source project with the aim to automatically present XML data as PDF with sophisticated layout properties.
By means of an auxiliary structure definition, TeXML overcomes the syntax-based differences between TeX and XML.
Technically, the markup elements of TeX are described by using the XML syntax.
History
TeXML is a further development of a specification originally defined by Douglas Lovell at IBM, where Structure and Transformation have to be distinguished.
Structure
The XML definition of the TeXML structure can be considered as being completed since 1999 (TeXML.dtd).
It represents the markup link between TeX and XML.
Transformation
The transformation processes run smoothly since the end of 2010, a productive application of the technology is possible.
The original approach of using a Java application was published by IBM at IBM alphaWorks, but is no longer present. It was presented in a paper
at the 1999 annual meeting of the TeX Users Group.
Application
TeXML is used to generate Technical Documentation from XML data.
After the transformation TeXML → TeX, the entire LaTeX-defined range of TeX macros is available.
By means of using TeX macros, it is possible to publish XML data having configurable layout options.
Specials
TeXML allows automatic publication of XML data by means of a typesetting engine, which was originally designed for manual typesetting.
In contrast to publication using the XSL-FO technique layout properties of XML data can be manipulated by using exception rules in the intermediate code.
Exception rules are learned by the publication process, the layout properties are thus enhanced with each generation cycle.
High-speed publishing processes, an increase in speed of up to 100 times compared to XSL-FO based processes, especially in the case of large documents.
TeXML structure
The Document Type Definition (DTD) of the TeXML structure consists of the XML elements:
Root element: TeXML
Encoding commands: cmd
Encoding environments: env
Encoding groups: group
Encoding math groups: math and dmath
Encoding control symbols: ctrl
Encoding special symbols: spec
PDF literals: pdf
Composition of a TeXML document
An example of an XML document, which has already been transformed into the TeXML structure:
<TeXML>
<TeXML escape="0">
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
</TeXML>
<env name="document">
Misinterpretation of special characters as being functional characters is called "Escaping", thus: $, ^, >
</env>
</TeXML>
TeXML process
The TeXML process transforms XML data which are described in the auxiliary intermediate TeXML structure to TeX:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive%20machine%20translation | Interactive machine translation (IMT), is a specific sub-field of computer-aided translation. Under this translation paradigm, the computer software that assists the human translator attempts to predict the text the user is going to input by taking into account all the information it has available. Whenever such prediction is wrong and the user provides feedback to the system, a new prediction is performed considering the new information available. Such process is repeated until the translation provided matches the user's expectations.
Interactive machine translation is specially interesting when translating texts in domains where it is not admissible to output a translation containing errors, hence requiring a human user to amend the translations provided by the system. In such cases, interactive machine translation has been proved to provide benefit to potential users.
Nevertheless, there are few commercial software that implements interactive machine translation and work done in the field is mostly restrained to academic research.
History
Historically, interactive machine translation is born as an evolution of the computer-aided translation paradigm, where the human translator and the machine translation system were intended to work as a tandem.
This first work was extended within the TransType research project, funded by the Canadian government. In this project, the human interaction was aimed towards producing the target text for the first time by embedding data-driven machine translation techniques within the interactive translation environment with the goal of achieving the best of both actors: the efficiency of the automatic system and the reliability of human translators.
Later, a larger-scale research project, TransType2,
funded by the European Commission extended such work by analyzing the incorporation of a complete machine translation system into the process, with the goal of producing a complete translation hypothesis, which the human user is allowed to amend or accept. If the user decides to amend the hypothesis, the system then attempts to make the best use of such feedback in order to produce a new translation hypothesis that takes into account the modifications introduced by the user.
More recently, CASMACAT, also funded by the European Commission, aimed at developing novel types of assistance to human translators and integrated them into a new workbench, consisting of an editor, a server, and analysis and visualisation tools. The workbench was designed in a modular fashion and can be combined with existing computer aided translation tools. Furthermore, the CASMACAT workbench can learn from the interaction with the human translator by updating and adapting its models instantly based on the translation choices of the user.
Recent work on involving an extensive evaluation with human users revealed the fact that interactive machine translation may even be used by users that do not speak the source language in order to ac |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrtil%20Runestones | The Norrtil Runestones are two monuments listed in Rundata as U 410 and U 411, standing at Norrtil, Saint Olovs parish, Uppland, Sweden. Both runestones were erected at the second part of 11th century along the ancient road leading from Sigtuna to already existed at that time settlement of Til.
U 410
The stone is located on the south-eastern side of a hill , which was evidently a local burial ground in the Viking Age. Several graves of that period marked by stone settings are in the near proximity to the monument.
Material is grey granite. Height — 1.55 m, width — 0.75 m.
The inscription is partly damaged due to the stone surface is subject to flaking. Lost text fragments fortunately reconstructed with help of older drawings, the first of which was made by Johan Hadorph in 1682. Runes are carved on the bodies of two serpents which have their heads and tails bound together. The cross is placed in the middle.
Transliteration into Latin characters
× sturbiarn • l[it • rais]a . stai . . . ftiʀ [ • ] s[ik]st[a]in • faþur - - - broþur hulmst . . . [n]s
Old Norse transcription
Styrbiorn let ræisa stæi[n æ]ftiʀ Sigstæin, faður [sinn], broður Holmst[æi]ns.
English translation
Styrbjôrn had the stone raised in memory of Sigsteinn, his father, Holmsteinn's brother.
U 411
The monument is standing 190 m west of the U 410 stone . Material is pink granite, height — 1.74 m, width — 0.93 m.
The text is carved on a serpent. Its body forms a loop following the contour of the stone. Inside the loop under the cross the serpent's head and tail many times interlaced with a snake of smaller size. All runes well preserved.
Transliteration into Latin characters
× ilturi × lit × raisa × stin × eftiʀ × sukiʀ × faþur × sin × kuþ × hialbi • ant • ahns ×
Old Norse transcription
ilturi let ræisa stæin æftir Syggæiʀ(?), faður sinn. Guð hialpi and hans.
English translation
<ilturi> had the stone raised in memory of Siggeirr/Seygeirr, his father. May God help his spirit.
The U 411 is the only runic stone bearing the personal name ilturi. Moreover this name is unknown from other Scandinavian Medieval sources. Yet in the list of landmarks between Swedish provinces Värend and Njudung, dated by 1320, the place-name Illdorabech was presented, probably comprising the personal name Illdore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant%3A%20Impossible | Restaurant: Impossible was an American reality television series, featuring chef and restaurateur Robert Irvine, that originally aired on Food Network from 2011 to 2016. After a three-year hiatus, the show returned on April 20, 2019. It was announced that the show was canceled after 22 seasons in 2023.
Show structure
The premise of the series is that within two days and on a materials budget of $10,000, Irvine renovates a failing American restaurant with the goal of helping to restore it to profitability and prominence. Irvine is assisted by an HGTV designer (usually Taniya Nayak, Cheryl Torrenueva, or Lynn Kegan, but sometimes Vanessa DeLeon, Krista Watterworth, Yvette Irene, or Nicole Faccuito), along with general contractor Tom Bury, who sometimes does double duty as both general contractor and designer. After assessing the problems with the restaurant, Irvine typically creates a plan for the new decor, oversees the refurbishment of the restaurant, calculates profitable food costs, reduces the number of items on the menu and improves the quality of the entrees, develops a promotional activity, educates or resolves conflicts for the restaurant's owners, or trains the staff, as needed for each restaurant. As of its final episode in April 2023, the show had completed missions in 42 states and the District of Columbia, excepting states of Alaska, Hawai'i, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Vermont.
Audience
On January 4, 2021, the show planned to move to Discovery+, with new episodes airing every Thursday. The move to the streaming platform was reversed in March 2021 due to negative viewer feedback, and now episodes will continue to premiere on Food Network for the near future.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance%20Language | Relevance Language is a patented language created by BigFix, Inc. (later acquired by IBM) for use in their BigFix product. BigFix is software that is used to monitor the computers within an enterprise and take any necessary actions to bring the computer into compliance with defined policies. A prominent use is to determine if a particular computer (whether it's a desktop or laptop running Windows, Mac, or Linux, or a mobile device running iOS or Android) needs an update or patch and deliver the fixlet (a BigFix term for a set of instructions on how to get the update and where to install it) to the device in a bandwidth efficient manner. During the design of the software, the company was looking for any language that could directly retrieve the properties of a computer (such as CPU, disk space, etc.) but were unable to find one that was appropriate to the task. So they developed their own language to meet this need. Currently, BigFix is the only software that uses this language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handel%20Reference%20Database | The Handel Reference Database (HRD) is the largest documentary collection on George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) and his times. It was launched in January 2008 on the server of the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) at Stanford University. Originally assembled by Ilias Chrissochoidis to support his PhD dissertation "Early Reception of Handel's Oratorios, 1732–1784: Narrative-Studies-Documents" (Stanford University, 2004), it now includes about 4,000 items and 800,000 words. HRD is organized chronologically, covering the period from 1685 to 1784 and focusing on Handel's British career and reception. It includes transcriptions of printed and manuscript sources, some of which remain unpublished ("The Academy of Vocal Music", British Library, Add. Ms. 11732; "The John Marsh Diaries, 1802–28", Huntington Library, HM 54457, vols. 23–37) and external links to early secondary literature on the composer. The project received financial support from Houghton Library, Harvard University (2010–11) and UCLA's William Andrews Clark Memorial Library (2011–12).
HRD is listed in An International Handel Bibliography / Internationale Händel-Bibliographie: 1959–2009. Links to the database are available from the web portals of the American Musicological Society (AMS), the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS), the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (BSECS), the Society for Eighteenth-Century Music (SECM), the Stiftung Händel-Haus in Halle, the Foundling Museum, and the library catalogs of Stanford University, Harvard University, Yale University, UC Berkeley's, University College London's, and the University of Bologna's library services.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High%20brightness%20monitor | A high brightness monitor, also known as a sunlight readable monitor or VHB (very high brightness) monitor, is a computer monitor designed to operate in very bright environments, for example in broad daylight. Sunlight Readable monitors typically provide at least 1,000 nits of brightness, versus 200-300 nits brightness for a typical desktop computer monitor. Sunlight Readable monitors may also be optically bonded. This process adds a protective outer glass, then fills the air gap between the glass and the LCD panel with an optical-grade resin to eliminate internal reflections and condensation. This also strengthens the outer glass and improves image contrast.
High brightness sunlight readable monitors are typically used commercially in kiosks, vending systems, pipeline inspection systems, outdoor digital signage and advertising, in sports stadiums, in military vehicles, on ships for navigation systems, on bus and train platforms, and much more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI%20algorithm | The SGI algorithm creates triangle strips from a set of triangles. It was published by K. Akeley, P. Haeberli, and D. Burns as a C program named "tomesh.c" for use with Silicon Graphics' IRIS GL API.
The algorithm operates on the set of triangles that have not yet been added to a triangle strip, starting with the entire set of input triangles. Triangles are greedily added to a strip until no triangle is available that can be appended to the strip; a new strip will be started in this case. When choosing a triangle for starting or continuing a triangle strip, the selection is based on a triangle's degree (i.e. the number of triangles adjacent to it), with smaller degrees being preferred.
If implemented using a priority queue to quickly identify triangles that can start a new strip, the algorithm runs in linear time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess%20%28TV%20series%29 | Princess (stylized as Prince$$) is a Canadian television series hosted by Gail Vaz-Oxlade that premiered in 2010, and ran original programming until 2012 (three seasons). The program is similar in format to her earlier endeavor, Til Debt Do Us Part; however, rather than helping couples in financial trouble, Vaz-Oxlade assists women who are considered self-indulgent and spoiled. Participants are given weekly challenges, some of which are to help bring the finances and debt under control, while others are meant to help correct the participant's attitude and make amends to their friends and relatives. At the end of six weeks, Vaz-Oxlade gives the participant a cheque for an amount up to $5,000, based upon Vaz-Oxlade's assessment of the participant's success in each of the challenges.
In the United States, the show airs on the cable channel Ion Life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health%20network%20surveillance | Health network surveillance is a practice of health information management involving a combination of security, privacy and regulatory compliance with patient health information (PHI). Health network surveillance addresses the rapidly increasing trend of electronic health records (EHR) and its incompatibility with information security practices that ‘lock down’ access through methods such as: modern firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention devices, and anti-virus and end-point protections.
In contrast to restrictive security measures, health network surveillance runs in the background of networks through a combination of hardware and software devices that allow for real time monitoring that do not impede the day-to-day health care operations that make up healthcare systems and deliver essential services to patients and clients. Surveillance, in this context, means tracking the connections that are made between computers. These connections can be between computers within a health network or from a computer outside the health network. Effectively, this approach has the capacity to provide additional assurance that standard protective devices and approaches are working.
Governments at all levels have increased legislation and regulation of the ways health information should be handled, for both public and private health organizations in many countries. Major regulatory bodies and legislation in Canada and the United States include but are not limited to: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), PCI Security Standards Council, and Canada Health Infoway. Health network surveillance is able to address the increasingly complex legislation, regulations and policies imposed on health organizations in a way that restrictive security measures can only reduce the service levels of these organizations.
Health network surveillance also has a proactive impact by providing business intelligence and network monitoring that can improve a health organization's efficiency and effectiveness through real time information that can support decision making about network architecture, business processes and resource allocation. Two approaches enable the development of health network surveillance tools. Commonly used flow measures based on a number of flow protocols available on the market use the capacity of routers and switches to provide data regarding the functioning of networks. The use of connection tracking works to record every connection between devices in a monitored network. There may be advantages in connection tracking techniques as they avoid sampling, produce more data in real time and put less load on the functioning of networks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure%20fusion | In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, exposure fusion is a technique for blending multiple exposures of the same scene (bracketing) into a single image. As in high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR), the goal is to capture a scene with a higher dynamic range than the camera is capable of capturing with a single exposure.
Technique
By using different exposure parameters on the same scene, a wider dynamic range can be represented and later merged into an image with better dynamic range. After correcting for small shifts that may inadvertently happen with hand-held devices, the full-image can be fused in two ways:
A higher dynamic range raw image can be reassembled and tone-mapped like usual HDR images, or more commonly:
A blended image can be directly produced without reconstructing a higher bit-depth.
The former method assumes a linear response from the camera, which may be provided by DNG or other raw formats. Some variants can take developed images, but the process of reconstructing the intensities is complicated and noisy, compromising the effective dynamic range.
The latter method [Mertens-Kautz-Van Reeth (MKVr)] only cares about aligning features and taking the best parts, automatically (by contrast, saturation, and proper exposure) or manually, so it is immune to this drawback. However, it cannot be considered a true HDR technique because no HDR image is ever created. The image does look better on displays, but the resulting bit depth of the image is equal to the input depth, unlike on a true HDR image where a greater bit depth allows storing more detailed intensity changes. Flexibility being its strength, this method can be extended to perform focus stacking by using contrast as the sole criteria.
In photomicrography
In photomicrography, the exposure fusion is often the only way to acquire properly exposed images from stereomicroscopes. One of the software solutions designed for photomicrography is the HDR module for QuickPHOTO microscopy software. This module can be also combined with Deep Focus focus stacking module to solve another problem, which is shallow depth of field of stereomicroscopes.
Related Techniques
Similar imaging techniques are used in other fields. For example, in THz computational imaging, due to the weak signal of THz radiation, synchronous amplifiers coupled with a detector are used. The spatial distribution of THz radiation reflected from the object under study has large brightness differences that do not allow it to be registered by a single ADC. To solve this problem, two ADCs are connected to the synchronous amplifier, allowing two sets of data to be received simultaneously. ADCs have complementary sensitivity settings: one ADC allows measuring weak signals at the noise level on the periphery of the registration area, and information from the second ADC with the settings allows registering powerful signals is used in the central areas, where intense THz radiation reflected fro |

Amar de Nuevo" tells the story of a successful businessman who loses everything and is forced to start anew, including finding love again. With themes of second chances, redemption, and the power of love, the telenovela explores the complexities of relationships and the challenges that come with starting over. The series was produced by Telemundo and Promofilm, and premiered in the United States and Latin America in 2009. Despite its initial popularity, the series only aired for one season, consisting of 121 episodes
Plot
The story begins one tragic day, when Frijolito was in a traffic accident with his best friend Palito and his parents, Salvador and Veronica.
Veronica's cousin, Bulmaro, had received orders from his boss, Max, to cause the accident. Max wanted revenge on Salvador, as he had hoped to get closer to Veronica. After that day, everything changed. Frijolito and Salvador were killed in the accident, Veronica was in a coma for two years and Palito was entrusted to the care of his grandmother Lily.
Frijolito could hear Palito praying for his mother, Veronica, every day. Palito never doubted that one day she would recover. Frijolito's "boss" could also hear the prayers of Palito, and decided to send him as Palito's guardian angel. Though nobody believed that it was possible, Veronica woke up, proving that miracles do happen.
When Veronica came out of the coma, she was surprised to learn that the love of her life had died in the accident. She felt that she had no reason to live, but her mother reminded her that she had a son who loved her deeply and that she should keep going for his sake.
Veronica decided to be strong for Palito, but she declared that she would never love again. It was then that Frijolito's "boss" decided to send him on a mission: find a new parent for Palito.
Román García del Solar was a perfect candidate. He was a good man who had also lost not only his wife, but his faith in love. His only reason for living was also his children, María Sol, Jorgito, and Flor. The only obstacle was his sister-in-law Rosilda, the twin sister of his deceased wife, Laura. Rosilda was obsessed with winning the heart of her brother-in-law.
Both Roman and Veronica had come to believe that they would never love again, but Frijolito would teach them that it is possible. They would not need magic to find each other; their hearts would serve as the guide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSN%20Radio | TSN Radio is a semi-national sports radio brand and part-time network in Canada carried on AM radio stations owned by Bell Media. The TSN Radio brand, and some of the stations' content, is shared with Bell Media's television sports channel, The Sports Network. With the American sports media company ESPN being a minority shareholder in TSN, most of the stations also air some ESPN Radio programming, usually on weekends and/or overnight.
TSN Radio currently operates stations in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. However, each station produces the vast majority of its programming locally, apart from some live event broadcasts as well as U.S.-produced syndicated programming. Unlike sports radio networks in the United States, there is no all-day 'network' feed, and very few Canadian-produced programs are simulcast nationally (though some local programs are simulcast on TSN's TV channels).
Overview
It was announced on February 17, 2011, that its Toronto station CHUM (1050 AM) would discontinue its audio simulcast of CP24's television programming as "CP24 Radio 1050" and switch to an all-sports radio format as TSN Radio 1050 effective April 13, 2011, becoming the flagship station of the network. The company further announced plans on October 3, 2011, to convert its two radio stations in Winnipeg and Montreal under the "TSN Radio" banner (becoming TSN Radio 1290 and TSN Radio 990 respectively) on October 5, 2011.
The network in some respects represents a revival of the defunct The Team network, which formerly aired on many of the same stations in the early 2000s when they were owned by CHUM Limited; some of those stations remained "Team"-branded sports radio stations right up until joining TSN Radio. Bell Canada gained 100% control of CTVglobemedia's assets on April 1, 2011, thus renaming the company's name to Bell Media and likewise renamed the radio division, CHUM Radio to Bell Media Radio.
It was reported on January 19, 2011, that Rob Gray, who was the program director for CKST and CFTE, had been hired to be program director for both CHUM and the new TSN Radio network.

History
TSN entered radio broadcasting with CHUM (1050 AM) in Toronto, which became the first station under the TSN Radio moniker, as TSN Radio 1050, on April 13, 2011. The station serves as the flagship of the network.
Bell Media further announced on October 3, 2011, that its radio stations CKGM in Montreal and CFRW in Winnipeg would join the TSN Radio network (becoming TSN Radio 990 and TSN Radio 1290 respectively) on October 5, 2011. CFRW had been long anticipated as a member of the network, having abandoned its oldies format for sports in fall 2010 (and using a TSN-inspired logo in the interim) and acquired the rights to the revived Winnipeg Jets in summer 2011.
There were conflicting reports initially as to whether or not CFGO in Ottawa and CKST and CFTE in Vancouver will re-brand. TSN has said that the aforementioned stations 'shall work closely' wit |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TekTrak | TekTrak is a mobile application created by TekTrak, Inc. for the Apple iOS and Android operating systems. It enables the user to remotely track their smartphone and secure any information stored on the device, if it gets lost or misplaced. Currently, the application can be downloaded as a free, 'lite' version, or a paid, 'pro' version from Apple's App Store and the Android Market.
Features
TekTrak allows users to locate a phone, track its previous locations and remotely ring the handset from any web browser. To use the application, one needs to download the application from the iTunes Store and register a login to use on the TekTrak website. The application can track a phone from any web browser through the TekTrak website as the location is checked at predetermined time intervals. From the web browser, the continuous tracking function can be activated so a phone may be tracked in real time, instead of the pre-set check-in intervals. TekTrak utilizes the Assisted GPS hardware located within smartphones to display the location of the device on a map. With adjustable interval checking, TekTrak may access the full location history of the phone.
During the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the application's location history feature allowed a Japanese family to track the location of their daughter, and follow her progress from her school to her home during the disaster.
History
TekTrak was founded by Arik Waldman, Luka Sklizovic, and Dan Russ during the summer of 2009 as part of their master's thesis at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. TekTrak was one of the recipients of the Wolfen Award at UCLA Anderson, giving the team the initial capital to start developing a prototype.
The company was first incorporated as an LLC during March 2010, and was subsequently incorporated as a Delaware C corporation in November 2010.
During 2010 the company raised angel funding from a series of investors, including Scott Banister, Wasabi Ventures, Barney Pell, Kima Ventures, Dovi Frances and Sergey Grishin.
The initial application developed by TekTrak was for the iPhone, and two versions, one free and one paid, were released in 2010 and 2011.
In June 2012, TekTrak formally shut down, citing no particular reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick%20Parker-Rhodes | Arthur Frederick Parker-Rhodes (21 November 1914 – 2 March 1987) was an English linguist, plant pathologist, computer scientist, mathematician, mystic, and mycologist, who also introduced original theories in physics.
Background & education
Arthur Frederick Parker-Rhodes was born in Newington, Yorkshire on 21 November 1914. He was educated at Marlborough College and Magdalene College, Cambridge, from where he graduated in 1934 and subsequently received his PhD. Being of independent means, he was able to pursue a variety of interests. He married author and political activist Damaris Parker-Rhodes and the couple earned a reputation as "bohemians" and eccentrics. They were both members of the Communist Party (Klaus Fuchs stayed with them in Cambridge, Alan Nunn May was a local friend), they became disillusioned with communism and in 1948 joined the Society of Friends. They had three boys (one of whom died aged 12) and a daughter, Oriole.
Plant pathology and mycology
During the Second World War, Parker-Rhodes worked as a plant pathologist at Long Ashton Research Station from where he published a series of research papers on the mechanism of fungicidal actions. His personal interest, however, was in the larger fungi, particularly agarics (mushrooms and toadstools), and he was a familiar figure at forays of the British Mycological Society in the 1940s and 1950s. He even published a statistical survey of these forays. For nearly 30 years Parker-Rhodes tutored a course on fungi at the Flatford Mill Field Studies Centre in Suffolk and, in 1950, published a popular book, Fungi, friends and foes. Subsequently, he produced papers studying the kinetics of fairy rings and a series surveying the larger fungi of Skokholm, an island off the western coast of Wales. He described several taxa new to science, including the species now known as Trechispora clanculare (Park.-Rhodes) K.H. Larss. which he found in a puffin burrow.
Mathematical linguistics and computer science
Parker-Rhodes was an accomplished linguist and was able to read at least 23 languages, claiming that they became "easier after the first half-dozen". He was introduced to Chinese and formal linguistic syntax by Michael Halliday at Cambridge. Parker-Rhodes was also a mathematician, with a particular interest in statistics and applications of lattice theory. Both these areas of expertise were of use to him when he joined the Cambridge Language Research Unit, an independent research centre established in 1955 by Margaret Masterman. The unit was said to house "an extraordinary collection of eccentrics" engaged in research on language and computing, including information retrieval. Parker-Rhodes' colleagues at CLRU included Roger Needham, Karen Spärck Jones, Ted Bastin, Stuart Linney, and Yorick Wilks.
Parker-Rhodes was "an original thinker in information retrieval, quantum mechanics and computational linguistics." He wrote A Sequential Logic for Information Structuring in "Mathematics of a Hier |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POLDAT | POLDAT is an acronym for Process, Organization and Location (Business Architecture) and Data, Applications and Technology (Systems Architecture). They are the Domains of Change in DXC Technology's Catalyst Methodology. POLDAT is not a framework, but it is the core of Catalyst, which is a detailed "Business Change through Information Technology" methodology. In more recent times, POLDAT has been complemented with the "CC" prefix making it CCPOLDAT. The "CC" prefix is an acronym for Customer and Channel. The complete version being CCPOLDAT an acronym for Customer, Channel, Process, Organisation, Location, Data, Application and Technology.
Catalyst is an extensive program, project and operations management methodology with a range of development paths including an Agile like approach.

POLDAT is an architectural unification approach to recognize the commonalities between the radical re-engineering, Enterprise Transformation Planning and IS Planning. It dates to Catalyst Release 3 in the early 1990s and was one of the earliest integrated Enterprise methodologies.
It is also embedded in Casewise's Corporate Modeler, an early partner in providing automated support to Catalyst in the mid 1990s.
This and some other factors has contributed to the POLDAT framework being slightly more prevalent in Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCOM%20Blue%20Devil | The Blue Devil blimp was a proposed reconnaissance airship that was built for the United States Air Force for use in the War in Afghanistan. It was designed to capture and process data from onboard sensors before delivering it to ground troops.
Spy capabilities
The blimp was equipped with up to a dozen sensors, including listening devices, video cameras for use both during the day and at night, communications equipment and a system known as the "wide-area airborne surveillance system", which used several cameras to film areas several square miles in size, similar to the Gorgon Stare system. The sensor equipment was to be supplied by Mav6 LLC as the prime contractor and system integrator. To process the data collected, which would ordinarily be transmitted to analysts on the ground, the blimp used an onboard computer to analyze and store the data, which was to be available for troops to access. This would require fewer personnel to analyze the data, and would cause less strain on battlefield networks by transmitting only required information, rather than a constant stream of data.
Design
Total system cost was $211 million. The envelope for the system was completed by subcontractor TCOM LP in Aug. of 2011. The blimp was around long and 1.4 million cubic feet in volume. It was designed to be able to reach an altitude of and remain at altitude for up to a week. The aircraft's first flight was planned for 15 October 2011.
Delays and cancellation
Technical complications with the blimp's design that arose during 2011, including overweight tail fins, unexpectedly complex avionics systems and the inability of the original Argus network of cameras design to be integrated with other systems, and meeting flight requirements of the FAA forced the blimp's first flight back to 15 April 2012, with dramatically reduced capabilities. Since the original cameras, designed to be able to cover 64 square kilometers, were unable to be installed, a different camera pack design, called Angel Fire, was used, which can only cover four square kilometers. Despite the drop in capability, an Air Force analysis of operating costs estimated that the blimp would cost at least four times as much as estimated by MAV 6, another contractor for the project.
In June 2012, the Air Force cancelled the project and ordered the airship to be dismantled and put in storage. In 2013, the Inspector General of the Air Force determined that Air Force personnel did not properly manage the award of contracts for the Blue Devil Block 2 persistent surveillance system.
In 2014, the Air Force banned one of its former generals from doing business with the Air Force because he tried to keep the project going after cancellation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye%20%281990%20video%20game%29 | is a Japan-exclusive Game Boy video game based on the comic strip of same name licensed from King Features Syndicate.
A cancelled US version was found in the 2020 Nintendo data leak, intended to be published by INTV Corporation.
Gameplay
The scenario is a maze and the player controls Popeye who has a time limit to collect some hearts, find Olive Oyl and save Swee'Pea which only appears somewhere to be saved after the hearts were collected and Olive found.
Popeye should avoid Bluto in order to prevent a fight with him, not losing time. When the fight is inevitable, and if Olive is already found, Popeye will lose her, and after the fight ends, he has to find her again. Bluto can drop weapons and enemies such as cannons and animals. He also steals the hearts and when it happens the heart will appear somewhere else to be collected. J. Wellington Wimpy is always wandering around and puts hamburgers that eventually block Popeye's path, however he can put so much as remove by eating them. A "flying" can of spinach will sometimes appear during the game anytime and out of nowhere, and can be used to increase Popeye's strength: be faster and the ability to eliminate enemies released by Bluto and Wimpy's hamburgers that obstruct the path. There are three playable courses and each one has five stages. In the game ending, Popeye marries Olive Oyl in front of a church.
Bluto is a playable character in the multiplayer-mode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile%20cloud%20computing | Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is the combination of cloud computing and mobile computing to bring rich computational resources to mobile users, network operators, as well as cloud computing providers. The ultimate goal of MCC is to enable execution of rich mobile applications on a plethora of mobile devices, with a rich user experience. MCC provides business opportunities for mobile network operators as well as cloud providers. More comprehensively, MCC can be defined as "a rich mobile computing technology that leverages unified elastic resources of varied clouds and network technologies toward unrestricted functionality, storage, and mobility to serve a multitude of mobile devices anywhere, anytime through the channel of Ethernet or Internet regardless of heterogeneous environments and platforms based on the pay-as-you-use principle."
Architecture
MCC uses computational augmentation approaches (computations are executed remotely instead of on the device) by which resource-constraint mobile devices can utilize computational resources of varied cloud-based resources. In MCC, there are four types of cloud-based resources, namely distant immobile clouds, proximate immobile computing entities, proximate mobile computing entities, and hybrid (combination of the other three model). Giant clouds such as Amazon EC2 are in the distant immobile groups whereas cloudlet or surrogates are member of proximate immobile computing entities. Smartphones, tablets, handheld devices, and wearable computing devices are part of the third group of cloud-based resources which is proximate mobile computing entities.
Vodafone, Orange and Verizon have started to offer cloud computing services for companies.
Challenges
In the MCC landscape, an amalgam of mobile computing, cloud computing, and communication networks (to augment smartphones) creates several complex challenges such as Mobile Computation Offloading, Seamless Connectivity, Long WAN Latency, Mobility Management, Context-Processing, Energy Constraint, Vendor/data Lock-in, Security and Privacy, Elasticity that hinder MCC success and adoption.
Open research issues
Although significant research and development in MCC is available in the literature, efforts in the following domains is still lacking:
Architectural issues: A reference architecture for heterogeneous MCC environment is a crucial requirement for unleashing the power of mobile computing towards unrestricted ubiquitous computing.
Energy-efficient transmission: MCC requires frequent transmissions between cloud platform and mobile devices, due to the stochastic nature of wireless networks, the transmission protocol should be carefully designed.
Context-awareness issues: Context-aware and socially-aware computing are inseparable traits of contemporary handheld computers. To achieve the vision of mobile computing among heterogeneous converged networks and computing devices, designing resource-efficient environment-aware applications is an essential need.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorraine%20Pascale | Lorraine Pascale (born 17 November 1972) is a British television cook and USA Food Network host and former top model, best known for selling almost one million books in the UK alone. Her TV shows are in 70 countries worldwide. She had her own cooking show on the BBC for several seasons. From 2007 to 2012 she owned a retail outlet in London selling baked goods called Ella's Bakehouse named after her daughter. She is the United Kingdom Government Fostering and Adoption Ambassador and an emotional wellness advocate. She is the mother of Charlie’s Angels star Ella Balinska.
Personal life
Pascale was born to Caribbean parents in Hackney at The Mothers' Hospital and was fostered in Leytonstone immediately after she was born. She was adopted at 18 months old and brought up in Witney, Oxfordshire, by a white couple, Roger and Audrey Woodward, who already had a son, Jason. Her adoptive father was a multilingual Spanish academic who had taught at Oxford, and her mother was a nurse. When her parents divorced when she was three years old, Pascale remained with her mother, who subsequently became ill and could no longer care for her. At this point, at age seven, she was fostered to more than one family, with differing degrees of 'fit'. After a year she returned to her mother and met up again with her father, who had remarried and had a daughter. She won a full scholarship given by the Buttle Trust and was educated at a boarding school in Devon.
Pascale has an elder brother and a younger half-sister. She knows her biological parents' identity and their four other children, but she does not wish to re-establish contact: "I know my birth parents' names. I know I've got three brothers and one sister, I know that some of them are in London but I don't have any desire or need to find them. One family is enough."
Pascale got married in her early twenties and gave birth to her daughter, actress Ella Balinska, "a year or two later". The couple have since separated and subsequently divorced. On 26 June 2021, she wed businessman Dennis O’Brien at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London.
Career
At age 16, Pascale was spotted as potential model by the agent who had found Naomi Campbell , during her career as a model, she walked with supermodels like Naomi Campbell, Karen Mulder and Kate Moss for Chanel, Versace and many fashion designers. Based in New York, she achieved recognition as the first black British model to appear on the cover of American Elle. She appeared in the 1998 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and featured as one of the 'Bond Girls' in Robbie Williams' "Millennium" video.
Pascale recognised the need to ensure her future after modelling and embarked on a series of career "try-outs", including hypnotherapy and car mechanics. She took a diploma cookery course at Leith's School of Food and Wine in 2005 and found that cookery fitted her "like a pair of old jeans". After gaining her diploma, she did a series of 'stages' in some London restaurants but, realising |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional%20Mock-up%20Interface | The Functional Mock-up Interface (or FMI) defines a standardized interface to be used in computer simulations to develop complex cyber-physical systems.
The vision of FMI is to support this approach: if the real product is to be assembled from a wide range of parts interacting in complex ways, each controlled by a complex set of physical laws, then it should be possible to create a virtual product that can be assembled from a set of models that each represent a combination of parts, each a model of the physical laws as well as a model of the control systems (using electronics, hydraulics, and digital software) assembled digitally. The FMI standard thus provides the means for model based development of systems and is used for example for designing functions that are driven by electronic devices inside vehicles (e.g. ESP controllers, active safety systems, combustion controllers). Activities from systems modelling, simulation, validation and test can be covered with the FMI based approach.
To create the FMI standard, a large number of software companies and research centers have worked in a cooperation project established through a European consortium that has been conducted by Dassault Systèmes under the name of MODELISAR. The MODELISAR project started in 2008 to define the FMI specifications, deliver technology studies, prove the FMI concepts through use cases elaborated by the consortium partners and enable tool vendors to build advanced prototypes or in some cases even products. The development of the FMI specifications was coordinated by Daimler AG. After the end of the MODELISAR project in 2011, FMI is managed and developed as a Modelica Association Project (MAP).
The four required FMI aspects of creating models capable of being assembled have been covered in Modelisar project:
FMI for model exchange,
FMI for co-simulation,
FMI for applications,
FMI for PLM (integration of models and related data in product life-cycle management).
In practice, the FMI implementation by a software modelling tool enables the creation of a simulation model that can be interconnected or the creation of a software library called FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit).
The FMI approach
The typical FMI approach is described in the following stages:
a modelling environment describes a product sub-system by differential, algebraic and discrete equations with time, state and step-events. These models can be large for usage in off-line or on-line simulation or can be used in embedded control systems;
as an alternative, an engineering tool defines the controller code for controlling a vehicle system;
such tools generate and export the component in an FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit);
an FMU can then be imported in another environment to be executed;
several FMUs can – by this way – cooperate at runtime through a co-simulation environment, thanks to the FMI definitions of their interfaces.

It provides for children ages 11–16, with a comprehensive admissions policy, and in January 2022 had an enrolment of 1,619 pupils.
Qur'an controversy
In February 2023, the school suspended four Year 10 pupils for causing minor damage to the pages of a personal copy of the Qur'an by dropping it accidentally. While there were rumours of deliberate damage, a school investigation finding there was no "malicious intent". The Free Speech Union wrote a letter demanding that West Yorkshire Police expunge the hate incident record against the four boys. The mother of one autistic boy said that he had stopped eating due to death threats, and Home Secretary Suella Braverman expressed concern at the police involvement in the matter. Humanists UK alleged that the school took severe disciplinary action because of religious pressure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM%20Radio%20Frequency%20optimization | GSM radio frequency optimization (GSM RF optimisation) is the optimization of GSM radio frequencies.
GSM network consist of different cells and each cell transmit signals to and receive signals from the mobile station, for proper working of base station many parameters are defined before functioning the base station such as the coverage area of a cell depends on different factors including the transmitting power of the base station, obstructing buildings in cells, height of the base station and location of base station.
Radio Frequency Optimization is a process through which different soft (Cell Reselect Offset, BTS power) and hard (e.g. Electrical Tilt, Mechanical Tilt, Azimuth etc.) parameters of the Base transceiver stations are changed in order to improve the coverage area and improve quality of signal. Besides that there are various key performance indicators which have to be constantly monitored and necessary changes proposed in order to keep KPIs in agreed limits with the mobile operator.
Introduction
Optimization is an important step in the life cycle of a wireless network. Drive testing is the first step in the process, with the goal of collecting measurement data as a function of location. Once the data has been collected over the desired RF coverage area, it is output to post-processing software. Engineers can use the collection and post-processing software to identify the causes of RF coverage or interference problems and determine how these problems can be solved. When the problems, causes and solutions have been identified, steps are performed to solve the problems. Network statistics are also an important step in analysis and troubleshooting of RF issues. Every node (BTS, BSC, MSC) has its own counters some of which are incremented/decremented on occurrence of different events e.g. a dropped call due to low signal strength. These statistics are analysed using different graphs and reports and when KPI from the statistics exceed the limit, extensive analysis is carried out to identify and troubleshoot the problem.
Technical details
GSM call flow
There are various control channels involved in setting up of a voice call in a GSM network. On Broadcast Channels system information and various parameters along with synchronization and frequency correction information is transmitted. Common Control Channels are used for informing the mobile or the GSM network about a service (voice, data, SMS) initiation and Dedicated Control Channels are used for call setup, authentication, location updating and SMS.
A mobile is informed on a paging channel (PCH) that it has a call or SMS, to which the mobile station responds with a Random Access Channel (RACH) request. The mobile station is notified on an Access Grant Channel (AGCH) that it may tune to a specific Stand-alone dedicated control channel (SDCCH) which is called Immediate Assignment. The user is authenticated and ciphering commands are received on this channel. After successful authenti |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trading%20Advisor%20Selection%20System | The Trading Advisor Selection System (TASS), or Lipper TASS, database contains monthly data for hedge funds. It is one of the most representative database for hedge funds, containing over 7000 of actively reporting hedge funds.
Typical information contained in the database are monthly returns, fee structure, and some specific information as the investments type, strategic focus. The monthly data goes back to at least May 1973 and is often used by researches for large-scale data analysis.
Funds that do not report returns anymore (closed funds, liquidated funds for example) formed the TASS Graveyard database, which contains over 6000 funds.
In March 2005, Lipper acquired TASS Research and the TASS database from Tremont Capital.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX%20terminal%20interface | The POSIX terminal interface is the generalized abstraction, comprising both an application programming interface for programs, and a set of behavioural expectations for users of a terminal, as defined by the POSIX standard and the Single Unix Specification. It is a historical development from the terminal interfaces of BSD version 4 and Seventh Edition Unix.
General underlying concepts
Hardware
A multiplicity of I/O devices are regarded as "terminals" in Unix systems. These include:
serial devices connected by a serial port such as printers/teleprinters, teletypewriters, modems supporting remote terminals via dial-up access, and directly connected local terminals
display adapter and keyboard hardware directly incorporated into the system unit, taken together to form a local "console", which may be presented to users and to programs as a single CRT terminal or as multiple virtual terminals
software terminal emulators, such as the xterm, Konsole, GNOME Terminal, and Terminal programs, and network servers such as the rlogin daemon and the SSH daemon, which make use of pseudoterminals
Terminal intelligence and capabilities
Intelligence: terminals are dumb, not intelligent
Unlike its mainframe and minicomputer contemporaries, the original Unix system was developed solely for dumb terminals, and that remains the case today. A terminal is a character-oriented device, comprising streams of characters received from and sent to the device. Although the streams of characters are structured, incorporating control characters, escape codes, and special characters, the I/O protocol is not structured as would be the I/O protocol of smart, or intelligent, terminals. There are no field format specifications. There's no block transmission of entire screens (input forms) of input data.
By contrast mainframes and minicomputers in closed architectures commonly use Block-oriented terminals.
Capabilities: terminfo, termcap, curses, et al.
The "capabilities" of a terminal comprise various dumb terminal features that are above and beyond what is available from a pure teletypewriter, which programs can make use of. They (mainly) comprise escape codes that can be sent to or received from the terminal. The escape codes sent to the terminal perform various functions that a CRT terminal (or software terminal emulator) is capable of that a teletypewriter is not, such as moving the terminal's cursor to positions on the screen, clearing and scrolling all or parts of the screen, turning on and off attached printer devices, programmable function keys, changing display colours and attributes (such as reverse video), and setting display title strings. The escape codes received from the terminal signify things such as function key, arrow key, and other special keystrokes (home key, end key, help key, PgUp key, PgDn key, insert key, delete key, and so forth).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIT%20spraying | JIT spraying is a class of computer security exploit that circumvents the protection of address space layout randomization and data execution prevention by exploiting the behavior of just-in-time compilation. It has been used to exploit the PDF format and Adobe Flash.
A just-in-time compiler (JIT) by definition produces code as its data. Since the purpose is to produce executable data, a JIT compiler is one of the few types of programs that cannot be run in a no-executable-data environment. Because of this, JIT compilers are normally exempt from data execution prevention. A JIT spray attack does heap spraying with the generated code.
To produce exploit code from JIT, an idea from Dion Blazakis is used. The input program, usually JavaScript or ActionScript, typically contains numerous constant values that can be erroneously executed as code. For example, the XOR operation could be used:
var a = (0x11223344^0x44332211^0x44332211^ ...);
JIT then will transform bytecode to native x86 code like:
0: b8 44 33 22 11
5: 35 11 22 33 44
a: 35 11 22 33 44
The attacker then uses a suitable bug to redirect code execution into the newly generated code. For example, a buffer overflow or use after free bug could allow the attack to modify a function pointer or return address.
This causes the CPU to execute instructions in a way that was unintended by the JIT authors. The attacker is usually not even limited to the expected instruction boundaries; it is possible to jump into the middle of an intended instruction to have the CPU interpret it as something else. As with non-JIT ROP attacks, this may be enough operations to usefully take control of the computer. Continuing the above example, jumping to the second byte of the "mov" instruction results in an "inc" instruction:
1: 44
2: 33 22
4: 11 35 11 22 33 44
a: 35 11 22 33 44
x86 and x86-64 allow jumping into the middle of an instruction, but not fixed-length architectures like ARM.
To protect against JIT spraying, the JIT code can be disabled or made less predictable for the attacker.

Course
Beaver Creek flows through central Boone County, Illinois, where the Beaver Creek network generally flows northeast to southwest. Poplar Grove and Capron are the two major settlements in the Beaver Creek watershed; Candlewick Lake, an unincorporated community, is also found in the watershed.
Description
Beaver Creek drains and has at least one tributary - known as Mosquito Creek (renamed Meander Creek).
