https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bake%20with%20Anna%20Olson | Bake with Anna Olson was a cooking show which focuses on baking, hosted by USA born Canadian pastry chef Anna Olson and was originally broadcast by Food Network Canada. It can be seen in Canada on Cooking Channel in syndication.
Synopsis
Each episode acts as a lesson for a specific baking technique, and is divided into four parts. Olson first focuses on the foundation, teaching viewers a simple key recipe using the baking skill at a beginner's level. Next, a more complex recipe is shown building on the foundation skill. Then, a showcase recipe is demonstrated featuring an elaborate, restaurant-quality dessert or savoury baked good. Finally, the episode concludes by creating a new mini-recipe using elements of the first three recipes. This includes the instructions on making puff pastry, pies and chocolate cake with classic recipes for chocolate mousse cake, pecan pie, as well as new items such as savoury hor d'oeuvres. Also included are basic baking instructions such as using a whisk to fold egg whites or double-checking measuring spoons and cups for accuracy, to ensure each baking step is done properly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level%20ancestor%20problem | In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the level ancestor problem is the problem of preprocessing a given rooted tree T into a data structure that can determine the ancestor of a given node at a given distance from the root of the tree.
More precisely, let T be a rooted tree with n nodes, and let v be an arbitrary node of T. The level ancestor query LA(v,d) requests the ancestor of node v at depth d, where the depth of a node v in a tree is the number of edges on the shortest path from the root of the tree to node v.
It is possible to solve this problem in constant time per query, after a preprocessing algorithm that takes O(n) and that builds a data structure that uses O(n) storage space.
Naive methods
The simplest way to find a level ancestor of a node is to climb up the tree towards the root of the tree. On the path to the root of the tree, every ancestor of a node can be visited and therefore reported. In this case, the tree does not need to be preprocessed and the time to answer a query is O(h), where "h" is the height of the tree. This approach is not feasible in situations where the tree may have large height and a large number of a queries are required to be processed.
Alternatively, all the possible solutions can be precomputed and stored in a table. In this case, the queries can be answered in O(1) but the space and the preprocessing time is O(n2).
The simplest queries that can be answered in constant time without any preprocessing are LA(v, 0) and LA(v, depth(v)). In the former case, the answer is always the root of the tree and in the latter case, the answer is the node v itself. Each of these results takes O(1).
Storing the paths through the tree in a skew binary random access list allows the tree to still be extended downward one O(1) step at a time, but now allows the search to proceed in O(log(p)), where "p" is the distance from v to the requested depth. This approach is feasible when the tree is particularly wide or will be extended online and so can't be effectively preprocessed, as the storage and access time is purely determined by path length.
Jump pointer algorithm
The jump pointer algorithm pre-processes a tree in O(n log n) time and answers level ancestor queries in O(log n) time. The jump pointer algorithm associates up to log n pointers to each vertex of the tree. These pointers are called jump pointers because they jump up the tree towards the root of the tree. For a given node v of a tree, the algorithm stores an array of length jumpers where . The ith element of this array points to the 2ith ancestor of v. Using such data structure helps us jump halfway up the tree from any given node. When the algorithm is asked to process a query, we repeatedly jump up the tree using these pointers. The number of jumps will be at most log n and therefore queries can be answered in log n time.
Ladder algorithm
The ladder algorithm is based on the idea of simplifying a tree into a collection of paths. The reason |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miku%20Flick | was a 2012 rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the iOS operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The game was a spin-off of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series of Vocaloid rhythm games and was released in Japan on March 9, 2012 and internationally on April 9, 2012. Like the original the game primarily makes use of Vocaloids, a series of singing synthesizer software, and the songs created using these vocaloids most notably the virtual-diva Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. Miku Flick was the first game in the Project Diva series to ever be released outside Japan in English.
A sequel to the game, named Miku Flick/02 was released on August 10, 2012. On September 29, 2017, the game ended its service and was removed from the App Store, with the official website stating "various circumstances beyond our control" as the reason.
Gameplay
As the game was a spin-off from the Project Diva series, its gameplay differs greatly from the original series. The game was still a rhythm game at heart, though its mechanics greatly differ. Players can pick their songs using a Cover Flow system from a selection of 13 songs all sung by Hatsune Miku. This was the first game in the series to not feature any other Vocaloids apart from Hatsune Miku. It was also the first game not to use Promotional Videos (PVs) rendered in real-time, instead the game's PVs are pre-rendered with graphics of Project DIVA Arcade. The game also featured two more modes being "PV" where players can watch the PVs of the various songs in the game and "Break the Limit" whereby it is an even more extreme version of the game.
Within the songs, the gameplay also differs greatly. Focusing more on the lyrics of the song rather than the rhythm and beats. The game has 10 tiles, arranged in a 3×3 grid with the middle column having a 4th tile at the bottom. Each of these tiles has a hiragana Lyric on them, when indicated you are required to flick the tile in the indicated direction. The lyrics for each song are given above the tiles, and flow from right to left with a circle on the left. When the indicated lyric reaches the circle, the player must tap the lyric tile and flick it in the indicated direction. Arrows will automatically appear on the tiles to be flicked so as to make things easier for the player, though this help can be removed via the options. Timing is as essential as the original game as the game still retains the points system as well as accuracy scoring system as the original series. The original Japanese game only provided tiles in hiragana, but the localized version provided romanization support so tiles would have the romanized letters on it, which are alphabets recognizable to English readers.
Song List
The game has a total of 13 songs. Players begin with only 3 songs unlocked, and unlock one new song for every song they complete up to a total of 12 songs. The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku -DEAD END- is unlocked after clearing every song on easy and normal mode. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real%20Presence%20Radio | Real Presence Radio is a lay apostolate Catholic talk radio network in the United States, with stations and translators (low power re-broadcasters) in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming covering five states and parts of two Canadian provinces. The network's headquarters and main studios are in Fargo, North Dakota. The network also carries some programming from the national EWTN Radio network.
History
Real Presence Radio began on November 6, 2004 following the purchase of KWTL AM 1370 (then known as KFJM AM) in Grand Forks, covering most of the Diocese of Fargo and the Diocese of Crookston. On February 6, 2009, Real Presence Radio purchased KVXR AM 1280 in Fargo from Voice of Reason Radio. KVXR switched programming from the Relevant Radio network to a simulcast of KWTL, forming the Real Presence Radio network.
On October 22, 2010, the network built and signed on KPHA FM 91.3 in Bismarck. Translators (low power rebroadcasters) began broadcasting in Minot (91.1 FM) on February 20, 2011 and Williston (89.1 FM) on January 20, 2011. On October 16, 2012 Real Presence Radio purchased the KZZQ call letters (formerly used for KPUL in Des Moines Iowa) and began operating 101.9 FM KZZQ, which serves the Dickinson area, and on December 1, 2014, the network began broadcasting on 91.7 KXRP in Bismarck and on December 12, 2014, 104.1 KZTW in Tioga, ND. The network purchased a station in the Duluth-Superior area, WWEN, on February 15, 2016 from American Family Radio. Effective March, 2018, Real Presence Radio purchased KGLL in Gillette, Wyoming from American Family Radio.
Real Presence Radio is also heard on low power affiliate stations 98.9 KXYM-LP in June 2015 in Belcourt, ND and 99.7 KZEB-LP in September 2014 in Jamestown, ND.
With the new stations in the Diocese of Bismarck, the Real Presence Radio network broadcasts to a majority of North Dakota's population along with much of northwest Minnesota, northeastern South Dakota, southern Manitoba including Winnipeg and extreme southwestern Ontario.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consent%20of%20the%20Networked | Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom is a book written by Rebecca MacKinnon and released in 2012. It discusses internet censorship and the ways in which companies which manage internet communication are assuming responsibilities formerly held by governments.
Reviews
The review published in The Wall Street Journal described Consent of the Networked as "an excellent survey of the Internet's major fault lines". John Naughton's review in The Guardian said that the book will "find its way on to reading lists in political science" for those interested in the relationship between Internet and the government. Rachel Bridgewater's review in the Library Journal states, "She uses many real-life examples and anecdotes to illustrate the complex web of policy and technical infrastructure that allows governments and corporate interests to censor, surveil, and otherwise impede free expression and individual liberty."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric%20Connect | Fabric Connect, in computer networking usage, is the name used by Extreme Networks to market an extended implementation of the IEEE 802.1aq and IEEE 802.1ah-2008 standards.
The Fabric Connect technology was originally developed by the Enterprise Solutions R&D department within Nortel Networks. In 2009, Avaya, Inc acquired Nortel Networks Enterprise Business Solutions; this transaction included the Fabric Connect intellectual property together with all of the Ethernet Switching platforms that supported it. Subsequently, the Fabric Connect technology became part of the Extreme Networks portfolio by virtue of their 2017 purchase of the Avaya Networking business and assets. It was during the Avaya era that this technology was promoted as the lead element of the Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA).
For their part, Extreme Networks stated that acquiring the Avaya Networking assets and more specifically the "award-winning Fabric technology...strengthens Extreme's position as a leader across the education, healthcare and government markets".
Technologies
Fabric Connect
Fabric Connect's aim is to provide network-wide, end-to-end, multi-layer virtualization. A network virtualization capability, based on an enhanced implementation of the IEEE 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) standard, Fabric Connect offers the ability to create a simplified network that can dynamically virtualize elements to efficiently provision and utilize resources, thus reducing the strain on the network and personnel. Extreme Networks base the Fabric Connect technology on the SPB standard, including support for RFC 6329, and have integrated IP Routing and IP Multicast support; this unified technology allows for the replacement of multiple conventional protocols such as Spanning Tree, RIP and/or OSPF, ECMP, and PIM.
Fabric Attach
An adjunct to the Fabric Connect technology, Fabric Attach, allows network operators to extend network virtualization directly into the conventional wiring closet (on existing non-Fabric Ethernet Switches) and automate the provisioning of devices to their appropriate virtual network. This is particularly relevant for the mass of unattended network end-point that are now appearing, such as IP Phones, Wireless Access Points, and IP Cameras. Fabric Attach standardized protocols such as 802.1AB LLDP to exchange credentials and obtain provisioning information that allows "Client" Switches to be automatically re-configured on the fly with parameters that let Traffic Flows Map through to Fabric Connect Edge Switches (aka "Backbone Edge Bridge" in SPB definition) functioning as a Fabric Attach "Server" Switch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency%20communication%20system | An emergency communication system (ECS) is any system (typically computer-based) that is organized for the primary purpose of supporting one-way and two-way communication of emergency information between both individuals and groups of individuals. These systems are commonly designed to convey information over multiple types of devices, from signal lights to text messaging to live, streaming video, forming a unified communication system intended to optimize communications during emergencies. Contrary to emergency notification systems, which generally deliver emergency information in one direction, emergency communication systems are typically capable of both initiating and receiving information between multiple parties. These systems are often made up of both input devices, sensors, and output/communication devices. Therefore, the origination of information can occur from a variety of sources and locations, from which the system will disseminate that information to one or more target audiences.
Emergency communication vs. notification
An emergency notification system refers to a collection of methods that facilitate the one-way dissemination or broadcast of messages to one or many groups of people with the details of an occurring or pending emergency situation. Mass automated dialing services such as Cell Broadcast, Reverse 911, as well as common siren systems that are used to alert for tornadoes, tsunamis, air-raid, and other such incidents, are examples of emergency notification systems.
Emergency communication systems often provide or integrate those same notification services but will also include two-way communication—typically to facilitate communications between emergency communications staff, affected people, and first responders. Another distinguishing attribute of the term "communication" may be that it implies the ability to provide detailed and meaningful information about an evolving emergency and actions that might be taken; whereas "notification" denotes a relatively more simplistic one-time conveyance of the existence and general nature of an emergency.
Alternate and related terms
Since there are a collection of related systems used in diverse settings in varying ways, there are numerous terms that are used interchangeably among the entities that use or have a need for emergency communication systems. In most instances, though, these are all used to refer to the same or substantially similar concepts. For example, use of the terms “emergency communications” and “disaster communications” definitively refer to the same concept, with the only potential difference lying in the connotation or emotional meaning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicaixa | Multicaixa (MCX) is currently the only brand name for debit cards issued in Angola, and also the only interbank network of automated teller machines and point of sales terminals for electronic payments. While the ATMs and the POS (point of sale) terminals are owned by the supporting bank, the network is operated by EMIS (Empresa Interbancária de Serviços S.A.), and the Multicaixa cards of any bank are accepted at the same terms at any Multicaixa ATM or POS terminal. This is regulated by the national law on Angolan payment systems, the BNA directive No. 9/2011 of 13 October on the regulation of bank payment cards, and various other laws and directives regulating the Angolan financial system.
The ATMs accept Multicaixa debit cards and Visa credit cards (Visa credit cards are the only ones issued in Angola). EMIS is currently preparing for the acceptance of other international credit card brands like MasterCard. Besides cash advance and withdrawal, the ATMs offer other services like consultation of account balance and movements, transfer of funds to pay utility invoices, and recharging of prepaid mobile phone accounts.
The debit cards are issued by the bank where the customer has a bank account, using services of EMIS. Besides debit cards linked to a bank account, stored-value cards (prepaid debit cards) also exist, with and without the possibility to recharge them.
At the end of 2011, there were 2.377.969 valid Multicaixa cards, out of which 1.559.841 were being used at least once in their time of validity. There were 1.629 ATMs installed in the country, and 18.199 POS terminals. 81.943.904 transactions were performed at the ATMs in 2011, and 9.063.863 transactions on the POS terminals. Only 11% of the Angolan population has a bank account.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%20Inc.%20v.%20Samsung%20Electronics%20Co. | Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was the first of a series of ongoing lawsuits between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics regarding the design of smartphones and tablet computers; between them, the companies made more than half of smartphones sold worldwide as of July 2012. In the spring of 2011, Apple began litigating against Samsung in patent infringement suits, while Apple and Motorola Mobility were already engaged in a patent war on several fronts. Apple's multinational litigation over technology patents became known as part of the mobile device "smartphone patent wars": extensive litigation in fierce competition in the global market for consumer mobile communications.
By August 2011, Apple and Samsung were litigating 19 ongoing cases in nine countries; by October, the legal disputes expanded to ten countries. By July 2012, the two companies were still embroiled in more than 50 lawsuits around the globe, with billions of dollars in damages claimed between them. While Apple won a ruling in its favor in the U.S., Samsung won rulings in South Korea, Japan, and the UK. On June 4, 2013, Samsung won a limited ban from the U.S. International Trade Commission on sales of certain Apple products after the commission found Apple had violated a Samsung patent, but this was vetoed by U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman.
On December 6, 2016, the United States Supreme Court decided 8–0 to reverse the decision from the first trial that awarded nearly $400 million to Apple and returned the case to Federal Circuit court to define the appropriate legal standard "article of manufacture" because it is not the smartphone itself but could be just the case and screen to which the design patents relate.
Origin
On January 4, 2007, 4 days before the iPhone was introduced to the world, Apple filed a suite of 4 design patents covering the basic shape of the iPhone. These were followed up in June of that year with a massive filing of a color design patent covering 193 screenshots of various iPhone graphical user interfaces. It is from these filings along with Apple's utility patents, registered trademarks and trade dress rights, that Apple selected the particular intellectual property to enforce against Samsung. Apple sued its component supplier Samsung, alleging in a 38-page federal complaint on April 15, 2011, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that several of Samsung's Android phones and tablets, including the Nexus S, Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab, infringed on Apple's intellectual property: its patents, trademarks, user interface and style. Apple's complaint included specific federal claims for patent infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, and trademark infringement, as well as state-level claims for unfair competition, common law trademark infringement, and unjust enrichment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Geographic%20Wild%20%28Canadian%20TV%20channel%29 | National Geographic Wild is a Canadian English-language discretionary specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment and National Geographic Global Networks. The channel airs programming devoted to wildlife, nature, and animals.
History
In April 2010, Canwest (the majority owner and operator of the Canadian version of National Geographic Channel) had requested the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to add the U.S. version of Nat Geo Wild to the list of available foreign channels permitted to broadcast in Canada. Both High Fidelity HDTV (the owner of Oasis HD) and CTV Speciality Television Inc. (the major owner of the Canadian version of Animal Planet) sent letters to CRTC to oppose the request because they considered Nat Geo Wild to be competitive with Oasis HD and Animal Planet. Canwest was acquired by Shaw Communications later that year. The CRTC denied the application on February 15, 2011.
In October 2011, NGC Channel Inc. (a company owned by Shaw and National Geographic Channel in the U.S.) put forth its own application to the CRTC in order to launch a Canadian version of Nat Geo Wild. The licence was approved by the CRTC on April 13, 2012. Neither High Fidelity HDTV nor Bell Media voiced a concern about Nat Geo Wild competing with their services.
On April 30, 2012, Shaw released a statement that the Canadian version of Nat Geo Wild was scheduled to be launched on May 7, 2012. The channel was launched in standard and high definition. Bell Aliant Fibe TV is the only provider no to carry the channel.
On April 1, 2016, Shaw Media was sold to Corus Entertainment.
Nat Geo Wild was rebranded as National Geographic Wild in 2019.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ToBoS-FP | ToBoS-FP is a floating point compiler for the Sinclair BASIC on ZX Spectrum. The name stands for Toruń, Jerzy Borkowski, Wojciech Skaba, Floating Point. The compiler was released in Poland in 1986.
Source code compilation enables substantial (20+) speed up of execution of programs that are normally interpreted. The acceleration results mostly from the utilization of compiler's own floating point arithmetic library and graphics library that replace the ZX Spectrum built-in routines. In a 1992 independent survey, ToBoS-FP was named the most popular of all known BASIC compilers for the ZX Spectrum. It is still referred to as one of the best BASIC compiler for ZX Spectrum.
Background
ZX Spectrum is factory equipped with a Sinclair BASIC editor and interpreter that enables immediate program execution without a compilation pass and not consuming memory for the compiled code. This comes, however, at the price of execution speed. A number of integer and floating point compilers have been released since (e.g.: HiSoft Basic , HiSoft Colt , Softek IS/FP , MCoder , ZIP Compiler , Boriel ZX Basic , Blast ). Unfortunately, the Sinclair BASIC enables programming constructs that are hard or even impossible to be compiled (e.g.: GO TO line number which is an expression calculated at runtime). Thus compatibility between the interpreter and a compiler is an issue.
Development
The compiler was written in Z80 assembler. There are two main sources of compiled code execution acceleration:
Conversion of the source code into direct threaded code that frees the processor from [repeatedly] translating the BASIC instructions into program calls
Application of compiler's own time critical subroutine calls, especially those dealing with floating point arithmetic and graphics functions
In order to achieve a substantial speed up, a shorter floating point number format has been applied, one that is close to single precision IEEE 754-1985, consisting of 1-byte exponent and 3-byte fraction (effectively 7 decimal digits precision). The original Sinclair BASIC utilizes 1-byte exponent and 4-byte fraction. All floating point arithmetic routines have been rewritten, including basic operations like addition, multiplication, division and functions like square root, logarithm, exponent. A unique algorithm has been developed for the calculation of trigonometric functions. Line drawing, circle drawing and other graphics functions have also been written.
Releases
The most popular version of ToBoS-FP (ver. 2.0) was released on a compact cassette in May 1986 in Poland. After loading to the memory, the compiler could be invoked with USR 53100. Earlier non-stable versions, assigned 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and invoked with USR 53500, were available in limited extent.
In June 1987 an improved version named ToBoS-DYD (Tadeusz Golonka co-authored) was released. It was distributed on a 5 1⁄4-inch floppy disk and adapted for the Elwro 800 Junior clone of ZX Spectrum. Compared to ver. 2.0, some fun |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumblefish%20Inc. | Rumblefish Inc. is a music licensing company specializing in all forms of synchronization licensing with a focus on 'micro-licensing' and online network monetization such as with YouTube's Content ID. It covers over 1.8 million pieces of music and it licenses over 20,000 soundtracks on more than nine million social videos.
History
In 2010 Rumblefish partnered with YouTube to allow YouTube video creators to pay a small fee to legally license music for their videos.
In late 2011 Rumblefish entered into a partnership with CD Baby to license the music from CD Baby's independent artists for movies, TV shows, ads, video games, apps, and YouTube.
In early 2013 Rumblefish acquired Catalogik, a music rights administration software as a service (SaaS).
Controversy
Rumblefish has generated controversy by sending copyright takedown notices to YouTube alleging copyright violations in videos' soundtracks, even when the user has written rights to the usage of a particular song or recording, or when users are musicians posting their own videos of songs they wrote and performed themselves and to which they own all copyright.
In early 2012 Rumblefish falsely claimed ownership of birdsong heard in the background of a YouTube video, resulting in the video being taken down. When the owner of the video objected, Rumblefish reiterated its claim. Rumblefish CEO Paul Anthony later admitted that mistakes were made, and stated that Rumblefish would be improving its process.
In 2015, Rumblefish falsely filed a copyright claim on the public-domain song America the Beautiful, as performed by the United States Navy Band (whose performances are all likewise public-domain).

Formed in the later days of New York's no wave scene, they recorded for labels like Disques du Crépuscule and Factory in the early 1980s, and were the first American band to be signed to the latter UK label. Initially drawing on early krautrock and dub-influenced post-punk, their work increasingly incorporated drum machines and analog electronics. After releasing their 1982 debut album, Ike Yard dissolved at the beginning of 1983. Argabright later recorded as Dominatrix.
After Acute Records released the well-received career anthology Ike Yard: 1980–82 Collected, the band reformed as a three-piece unit with original members Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton and Michael Diekmann in 2007. After a hiatus of roughly 28 years, Danish/Swedish imprint Phisteria released Öst, a limited edition 10-inch, which was followed by their latest full-length, Nord, Phisteria licensing the album to Desire Records for worldwide distribution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SportsChannel%20Cincinnati | SportsChannel Cincinnati was an American regional sports network owned by the Rainbow Media division of Cablevision, and operated as an affiliate of SportsChannel. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, the channel used to broadcast regional coverage of sports events throughout the Miami Valley, focusing mainly on professional sports teams based in the Cincinnati area.
History
The network launched on April 1, 1990, with coverage of Major League Baseball games involving the Cincinnati Reds as its flagship programming. The initial contract with the Reds gave SportsChannel 30 games in 1990, increasing to 35 and then 40 games in 1991 and 1992 respectively. Other programming was provided from SportsChannel Ohio including basketball games from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference and Mid-American Conference. The network also featured SportsChannel's NHL package and Notre Dame football. At launch, SportsChannel Cincinnati broadcast nightly from 5 PM to Midnight on weekdays and from 9 AM to Midnight on weekends. This was expanded to a 24-hour schedule beginning on January 1, 1994.
On June 30, 1997, Fox/Liberty Networks (owned as a joint venture between News Corporation and Liberty Media) purchased a 40% interest in Cablevision's sports properties (including the SportsChannel networks, Madison Square Garden, and the New York Knicks and New York Rangers) for $850 million. In November 1997, SportsChannel was integrated into Fox Sports Net, a group of regional sports networks created by Fox/Liberty in November 1996. On January 28, 1998, after legal delays, SportsChannel Cincinnati was folded into Fox Sports Ohio, now Bally Sports Ohio (the former SportsChannel Ohio), serving as a regional subfeed of that network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal%20memory%20allocation | Memory allocation is a process that determines which specific synapses and neurons in a neural network will store a given memory. Although multiple neurons can receive a stimulus, only a subset of the neurons will induce the necessary plasticity for memory encoding. The selection of this subset of neurons is termed neuronal allocation. Similarly, multiple synapses can be activated by a given set of inputs, but specific mechanisms determine which synapses actually go on to encode the memory, and this process is referred to as synaptic allocation. Memory allocation was first discovered in the lateral amygdala by Sheena Josselyn and colleagues in Alcino J. Silva's laboratory.
At the neuronal level, cells with higher levels of excitability (for example lower slow afterhyperpolarization) are more likely to be recruited into a memory trace, and substantial evidence exists implicating the cellular transcription factor CREB (cyclic AMP responsive element-binding protein) in this process. Certain synapses on recruited neurons are more likely to undergo an enhancement of synaptic strength (known as Long-term potentiation (LTP)) and proposed mechanisms that might contribute to allocation at the synaptic level include synaptic tagging, capture, and synaptic clustering.
Neuronal allocation
Neuronal allocation is a phenomenon that accounts for how specific neurons in a network, and not others that receive similar input, are committed to storing a specific memory.
The role of CREB in neuronal allocation
The transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) is a well-studied mechanism of neuronal memory allocation. Most studies to date use the amygdala as a model circuit, and fear-related memory traces in the amygdala are mediated by CREB expression in the individual neurons allocated to those memories. CREB modulates cellular processes that lead to neuronal allocation, particularly with regards to dendritic spine density and morphology. Many of the memory mechanisms studied to date are conserved across different brain regions, and it is likely that the mechanisms of fear-based memory allocation found in the amygdala will also be similarly present for other types of memories throughout different brain regions. Indeed, Sano and colleagues in the Silva lab showed that CREB also regulates neuronal memory allocation in the amygdala.
CREB may be activated by multiple pathways. For example, the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA) pathways appear to participate in neuronal allocation. When activated by the second messengers such as cAMP and calcium ions, enzymes such as PKA and MAP kinase can translocate to the nucleus and phosphorylate CREB to initiate transcription of target genes. PKA inhibitors can block the development of long-lasting LTP, and this is accompanied by a reduction in the transcription of genes modulated by the CREB protein.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%20D%27souza | Joseph D'souza is an Indian bishop, missionary, and Christian and Dalit rights activist. As of 2018, he was International President of the Dignity Freedom Network (DFN) (previously known as Dalit Freedom Network), President of the All India Christian Council (AICC), and CEO of Operation Mobilisation - India with is not affiliated with Operation Mobilisation, International. On 30 August 2014, he was consecrated as Archbishop of the Good Shepherd Church of India, and associated ministries.
Early life and education
Joseph D'souza was born into an upper caste Christian family, living in what he calls "Christian ghettos" surrounded by low caste and Dalit people.
He holds a B.S. in Chemistry from Karnataka University, a M.A. in Communications from the Asian Theological Seminary in the Philippines, and an honorary Doctor in Divinity degree from the Gospel for Asia Biblical Seminary, an affiliate of Serampore University.
He married Mariam, who came from an Adivasi tribal group, despite the opposition of some of
his family and friends. D'souza's daughter Beryl is the medical and anti-human trafficking director of the Dignity Freedom Network.
Career
One of the factors in D'souza's decision to take up the cause of Christians and Dalits was the start of attacks on Christians in the mid-1990s,
including the burning to death of the missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons in Orissa in 1999.
D'souza joined the Indian branch of George Verwer's evangelist Operation Mobilisation as an international vice president, and was 2012 promoted to CEO of the India branch, which has left the movement of OM in 2014. He no longer has a role within Operation Mobilisation.
He has set up 107 English Medium Education Centers educating nearly 25,000 Dalit children working with Operation Mercy India Foundation.
In 1998, he founded the All India Christian Council (AICC). The AICC is one of the largest interdenominational Christian alliances, formed to deal with human rights issues and national concerns common to Christians in India.
In 2002, D'souza co-founded the Dignity Freedom Network (DFN), formerly known as the Dalit Freedom Network, first in the United States and, later, expanded to other countries.
D'souza travels widely in campaigning for the fundamental rights of the poor, the marginalized and outcastes of society in South Asia and other nations of the world.
D'souza has discussed human rights issues with civil society leaders and politicians in India, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil and the United States, and at human rights commission meetings.
Dalit advocacy
Speaking in October 2005 before a US Congressional hearing, D'souza said that "India's tragedy is that society continues the practice of the caste system, with the rule of law not being applied when Dalits are being discriminated against, even though the practice of untouchability stands abolished by the Constitution."
He also noted that "Christian Dalits continue to suffe |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%20Systrom | Kevin Systrom (born December 30, 1983) is an American computer programmer and entrepreneur. He co-founded Instagram, the world's largest photo sharing website, along with Mike Krieger.
Systrom was included on the list of America's Richest Entrepreneurs Under 40 2016. Under Systrom as CEO, Instagram became a fast growing app, with 800 million monthly users as of September 2017. He resigned as the CEO of Instagram on September 24, 2018.
Meta Platforms (then Facebook, Inc.) bought Instagram for $1 billion in 2012, a large sum at that time for a company that had 13 employees. Instagram today has over one billion users and contributes over $20 billion to Meta Platforms's annual revenue.
Early life and education
Systrom was born in 1983 in Holliston, Massachusetts. He is the son of Diane, a marketing executive at Zipcar, who also worked at Monster and Swapit during the first dotcom bubble, and Douglas Systrom, Vice President of Human Resources at TJX Companies.
Systrom attended Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, where he was introduced to computer programming. His interest grew from playing Doom 2 and creating his own levels as a child.
He worked at Boston Beat, a vinyl record music store in Boston, while he was in high school.
Systrom attended Stanford University and graduated in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in management science and engineering. At Stanford, he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He turned down a recruitment offer from Mark Zuckerberg and instead spent the winter term of his third year in Florence, where he studied photography.
He got his first taste of the startup world when he was chosen as one of twelve students to participate in the Mayfield Fellows Program at Stanford University. The fellowship led to his internship at Odeo, the company that eventually became Twitter.
Career
Google
After graduating Stanford, he joined Google working on Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Spreadsheets and other products. He spent two years at Google as a product marketer; Systrom left Google out of frustration of not being moved into the Associate Product Manager program.
Burbn
He made the prototype of what later became Burbn and pitched it to Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz at a party. He came up with the idea while on a vacation in Mexico when his girlfriend was unwilling to post her photos because they did not look good enough when taken by the iPhone 4 camera. The solution to the problem was to use filters, effectively hiding the qualitative inferiority of the photographs. Subsequently, Systrom developed the X-Pro II filter that is still in use on Instagram today.
After the first meeting, he decided to quit his job in order to explore whether or not Burbn could become a company. Within 2 weeks of quitting his job, he received US$500,000 seed funding round from both Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. While in San Francisco, Systrom and Mike Krieger built Burbn, an HTML 5 check-in service, into a produc |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmon | In quantum computing, and more specifically in superconducting quantum computing, a transmon is a type of superconducting charge qubit that was designed to have reduced sensitivity to charge noise. The transmon was developed by Robert J. Schoelkopf, Michel Devoret, Steven M. Girvin, and their colleagues at Yale University in 2007. Its name is an abbreviation of the term transmission line shunted plasma oscillation qubit; one which consists of a Cooper-pair box "where the two superconductors are also capacitatively shunted in order to decrease the sensitivity to charge noise, while maintaining a sufficient anharmonicity for selective qubit control".
The transmon achieves its reduced sensitivity to charge noise by significantly increasing the ratio of the Josephson energy to the charging energy. This is accomplished through the use of a large shunting capacitor. The result is energy level spacings that are approximately independent of offset charge. Planar on-chip transmon qubits have T1 coherence times approximately 30 μs to 40 μs. Recent work has shown significantly improved T1 times as long as 95 μs by replacing the superconducting transmission line cavity with a three-dimensional superconducting cavity, and by replacing niobium with tantalum in the transmon device, T1 is further improved up to 0.3 ms. These results demonstrate that previous T1 times were not limited by Josephson junction losses. Understanding the fundamental limits on the coherence time in superconducting qubits such as the transmon is an active area of research.
Comparison to Cooper-pair box
The transmon design is similar to the first design of the charge qubit known as a "Cooper-pair box"; both are described by the same Hamiltonian, with the only difference being the ratio. Here is the Josephson energy of the junction, and is the charging energy inversely proportional to the total capacitance of the qubit circuit. Transmons typically have (while for typical Cooper-pair-box qubits), which is achieved by shunting the Josephson junction with an additional large capacitor.
The benefit of increasing the ratio is the insensitivity to charge noise—the energy levels become independent of the offset charge across the junction; thus the dephasing time of the qubit is prolonged. The disadvantage is the reduced anharmonicity , where is the energy difference between eigenstates and . Reduced anharmonicity complicates the device operation as a two level system, e.g. exciting the device from the ground state to the first excited state by a resonant pulse also populates the higher excited state. This complication is overcome by complex microwave pulse design, that takes into account the higher energy levels, and prohibits their excitation by destructive interference. Also, while the variation of with respect to tend to decrease exponentially with , the anharmonicity only has a weaker, algebraic dependence on as . The significant gain in the coherence time outweigh the decrea |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallia | Dallia is a genus of mudminnows native to Russia and Alaska. Molecular data indicates the genus is more closely related to Esox and Novumbra than Umbra. Dallia diverged from Novumbra + Esox approximately 66 million years ago.
Species
Three species in this genus are recognized:
Dallia admirabilis Chereshnev, 1980 (Amguema blackfish)
Dallia delicatissima Smitt, 1881 (Pilkhykay blackfish)
Dallia pectoralis T. H. Bean, 1880 (Alaska blackfish)
Mitochondrial sequence data was examined from D. pectoralis and D. admirabilis and did not indicate that speciation within the genus in Russia; however, genetic isolation within Alaska for populations of D. pectoralis could be high and associated with karyotype differences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagmamahal%2C%20Manay%20Gina | Gina () is a 2003 Philippine television drama anthology broadcast by GMA Network and Super Radyo DZBB. Hosted by Gina de Venecia, it premiered on February 24, 2003 replacing Pira-pirasong Pangarap. The show concluded on August 29, 2003 with a total of 138 episodes.
Overview
The TV broadcast featured a weekly story which began on Monday, and concluded on Friday. While the radio broadcast followed the same format, it featured a different true-to-life story, and was an interactive show: listeners participated in formulating the right conclusion for each episode, every Sunday.
The radio version lasted until 2009 when de Venecia ran for candidacy in the 2010 National Election. She won the position of Congresswoman of the Fourth District of Pangasinan, and got re-elected in 2013. Now, seven years later, her term has ended, and the program was re-launched as Nagmamahal, Manay Gina in the tri-media: DZBB, Tempo & Balita and GMA 7 on June 30.
Production
Upon reformatting, Marichu Maceda, the creative head, and the rest of production team decided that the show should focus more on showcasing true-to-life success stories. They also agreed to present a more intimate portrait of its host, Manay Gina de Venecia. Instead of mere narration, Manay Gina will read the letters of her viewers, often interjecting with her personal sentiments about the subject. Sampaguita TV commissioned the award-winning production designer Tatus Aldana to style a set.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected%20linear%20time%20MST%20algorithm | The expected linear time MST algorithm is a randomized algorithm for computing the minimum spanning forest of a weighted graph with no isolated vertices. It was developed by David Karger, Philip Klein, and Robert Tarjan. The algorithm relies on techniques from Borůvka's algorithm along with an algorithm for verifying a minimum spanning tree in linear time. It combines the design paradigms of divide and conquer algorithms, greedy algorithms, and randomized algorithms to achieve expected linear performance.
Deterministic algorithms that find the minimum spanning tree include Prim's algorithm, Kruskal's algorithm, reverse-delete algorithm, and Borůvka's algorithm.
Overview
The key insight to the algorithm is a random sampling step which partitions a graph into two subgraphs by randomly selecting edges to include in each subgraph. The algorithm recursively finds the minimum spanning forest of the first subproblem and uses the solution in conjunction with a linear time verification algorithm to discard edges in the graph that cannot be in the minimum spanning tree. A procedure taken from Borůvka's algorithm is also used to reduce the size of the graph at each recursion.
Borůvka Step
Each iteration of the algorithm relies on an adaptation of Borůvka's algorithm referred to as a Borůvka step:
Input: A graph G with no isolated vertices
1 For each vertex v, select the lightest edge incident on v
2 Create a contracted graph G''' by replacing each component of G connected by the edges selected in step 1 with a single vertex
3 Remove all isolated vertices, self-loops, and non-minimal repetitive edges from G
Output: The edges selected in step 1 and the contracted graph G
A Borůvka step is equivalent to the inner loop of Borůvka's algorithm, which runs in O(m) time where m is the number of edges in G. Furthermore, since each edge can be selected at most twice (once by each incident vertex) the maximum number of disconnected components after step 1 is equal to half the number of vertices. Thus, a Borůvka step reduces the number of vertices in the graph by at least a factor of two and deletes at least n/2 edges where n is the number of vertices in G.
Example execution of a Borůvka step
F-heavy and F-light edges
In each iteration the algorithm removes edges with particular properties that exclude them from the minimum spanning tree. These are called F-heavy edges and are defined as follows. Let F be a forest on the graph H. An F-heavy edge is an edge e connecting vertices u,v whose weight is strictly greater than the weight of the heaviest edge on the path from u to v in F. (If a path does not exist in F it is considered to have infinite weight). Any edge that is not F-heavy is F-light. If F is a subgraph of G then any F-heavy edge in G cannot be in the minimum spanning tree of G by the cycle property. Given a forest, F-heavy edges can be computed in linear time using a minimum spanning tree verification algorithm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MasterChef%20Australia%20%28series%204%29 | The fourth series of the Australian cooking game show MasterChef Australia premiered on Sunday, 6 May 2012 at 7.30pm on Network Ten. Judges George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston returned from the previous series. After the first week in Melbourne, the competition took the contestants to places nationally, such as Kangaroo Island and Tasmania, as well as the international destination, Italy. It also featured a number of guest chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein and Buddy Valastro.
The fourth series was won by Andy Allen who defeated Julia Taylor and Audra Morrice in the grand finale on 25 July 2012. Andy would later go on to be a judge on the show himself.
Changes
For the first time, the initial Top 50 portion of the show took place in and around Melbourne, Victoria. Contestants faced challenges at the Royal Exhibition Building and the South Melbourne Market, and visited Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, the Lake House in Daylesford, and Montsalvat in Eltham.
Sunday night challenges returned to the more traditional Mystery Box/Invention Test combination used in the first two series.
After featuring a range of challengers in Series 3 such as contestants and apprentices, Immunity Challenges now typically featured guest chefs (along with a team of helpers) facing off against the chosen contestant plus their choice of two contestant helpers. Both the contestant team and challenging team had to prepare three courses using a core ingredient provided, with the contestants gaining a time advantage (ninety minutes to sixty, for example). Matt Moran acted as a mentor to the contestant team.
There was no Second Chance Cook Off this season, so eliminated contestants had no chance to return.
The Grand Finale featured three finalists instead of two.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece%20table | In computing, a piece table is a data structure typically used to represent a text document while it is edited in a text editor. Initially a reference (or 'span') to the whole of the original file is created, which represents the as yet unchanged file. Subsequent inserts and deletes replace a span by combinations of one, two, or three references to sections of either the original document or to a buffer holding inserted text.
Typically the text of the original document is held in one immutable block, and the text of each subsequent insert is stored in new immutable blocks. Because even deleted text is still included in the piece table, this makes multi-level or unlimited undo easier to implement with a piece table than with alternative data structures such as a gap buffer.
This data structure was invented by J Strother Moore.
Description
For this description, we use buffer as the immutable block to hold the contents.
A piece table consists of three columns:
Which buffer
Start index in the buffer
Length in the buffer
In addition to the table, two buffers are used to handle edits:
"Original buffer": A buffer to the original text document. This buffer is read-only.
"Add buffer": A buffer to a temporary file. This buffer is append-only.
Operations
Index
Definition: Index(i): return the character at position iTo retrieve the i-th character, the appropriate entry in a piece table is read.
Example
Given the following buffers and piece table:
To access the i-th character, the appropriate entry in the piece table is looked up.
For instance, to get the value of Index(15), the 3rd entry of piece table is retrieved. This is because the 3rd entry describes the characters from index 12 to 17 (the first entry describes characters in index 0 to 5, the next one is 6 to 11). The piece table entry instructs the program to look for the characters in the "add file" buffer, starting at index 18 in that buffer. The relative index in that entry is 15-12 = 3, which is added to the start position of the entry in the buffer to obtain index of the letter: 3+18 = 21. The value of Index(15) is the 21st character of the "add file" buffer, which is the character "o".
For the buffers and piece table given above, the following text is shown:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Insert
Inserting characters to the text consists of:
Appending characters to the "add file" buffer, and
Updating the entry in piece table (breaking an entry into two or three)
Delete
Single character deletion can be one of two possible conditions:
The deletion is at the start or end of a piece entry, in which case the appropriate entry in piece table is modified.
The deletion is in the middle of a piece entry, in which case the entry is split then one of the successor entries is modified as above.
Usage
Several text editors use an in-RAM piece table internally, including Bravo, Abiword, Atom and Visual Studio Code.
The "fast save" feature in some versions of Microsoft Word uses a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan%20Kaspersky | Ivan Yevgenyevich Kaspersky () is the son of Eugene Kaspersky and Natalya Kaspersky, founders of the malware and anti-virus company Kaspersky. He is also a computer programmer.
He is most famous for his kidnapping by a group of kidnappers who snatched Ivan on his way to a work experience. Ivan was held for $4.5 million ransom.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), working with the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Moscow Police, combined forces with Kaspersky Lab’s own security personnel. Together they managed to track down where Ivan was being held and take him back. At an interview Eugene said that no ransom was paid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313%20United%20States%20network%20television%20schedule%20%28daytime%29 | The 2012–13 daytime network television schedule for four of the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday daytime hours from September 2012 to August 2013. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, and any series canceled after the 2011–12 season.
Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are stations affiliated with Fox (as the network does not air a daytime network schedule or network news), MyNetworkTV (as the programming service also does not offer daytime programs of any kind), and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns).
Legend
New series are highlighted in bold.
Schedule
All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
Monday-Friday
Note: On September 10, 2012, ABC moved General Hospital to 2:00 p.m. ET (a move done partly to accommodate the addition of the syndicated talk show Katie), and turned over the 3:00 p.m. ET hour to its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic%20similarity%20network | A semantic similarity network (SSN) is a special form of semantic network. designed to represent concepts and their semantic similarity. Its main contribution is reducing the complexity of calculating semantic distances. Bendeck (2004, 2008) introduced the concept of semantic similarity networks (SSN) as the specialization of a semantic network to measure semantic similarity from ontological representations. Implementations include genetic information handling.
The concept is formally defined (Bendeck 2008) as a directed graph, with concepts represented as nodes and semantic similarity relations as edges. The relationships are grouped into relation types. The concepts and relations contain attribute values to evaluate the semantic similarity between concepts. The semantic similarity relationships of the SSN represent several of the general relationship types of the standard Semantic network, reducing the complexity of the (normally, very large) network for calculations of semantics. SSNs define relation types as templates (and taxonomy of relations) for semantic similarity attributes that are common to relations of the same type. SSN representation allows propagation algorithms to faster calculate semantic similarities, including stop conditions within a specified threshold. This reduces the computation time and power required for calculation.
A more recent publications on Semantic Matching and Semantic Similarity Networks could be found in (Bendeck 2019).
Specific Semantic Similarity Network application on healthcare was presented at the Healthcare information exchange Format (FHIR European Conference) 2019 - FHIR Amsterdam

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20One%20After%20%27I%20Do%27 | "The One After 'I Do" is the first episode of Friends eight season. It first aired on the NBC network in the United States on September 27, 2001.
Plot
The episode begins at the end of Monica and Chandler's wedding. Ross congratulates Monica on her pregnancy, only to be told that she is not pregnant. Phoebe asks Monica why she told him that, saying they found the pregnancy test. Spotting Rachel desperately shaking her head at her, Phoebe quickly decides to pretend it is hers and claims the father is James Brolin.
At the wedding reception, Chandler surprises Monica by telling her that, in preparation for their first dance, he has been taking dancing lessons. However, when he tries, he finds his slippery new shoes make him utterly incapable of dancing. He asks Joey whether he can borrow his shoes, only to look down and realize that Joey is not a shoe size 11, as he claimed, but in fact a size 7. Monica finally manages to get Chandler onto the dance floor, saying it does not matter that he cannot dance traditionally, as long as she can dance on her wedding night with her husband. She tells him to keep his feet still, so he does not slip, and dance like that. Chandler starts tentatively, but rapidly gets into the "Chandler dance". He stops, though, when Jack enthusiastically tells him he is "stealing his moves."
Meanwhile, Phoebe quizzes Rachel on the identity of the father – guessing at Tag, Ross and Joey. Rachel refuses to tell her until the father knows about the pregnancy. Monica, still unaware of the truth, discusses with Rachel how difficult it will be for Phoebe to be a single mother and lists the numerous problems she will have to face. Rachel agrees unenthusiastically and inadvertently drinks some champagne, and then quickly spits it out again. Seeing this, Monica realizes that it is Rachel who is pregnant. She punctures Phoebe's facade, and asks Rachel to take another test to make sure she is pregnant, saying it will be her wedding present.
Chandler's mother introduces her date, Dennis Phillips, a famous Broadway producer. Joey, who has changed from his army costume into a tennis outfit (the only thing they had in the hotel's gift shop), is very excited about this. Joey asks Chandler to put a word in for him with Dennis, and later on in the reception, Joey gets up on stage to do a speech that is tailored, increasingly unsubtly, to show off his dramatic albeit extremely stupid skills to Dennis. He then approaches Dennis about getting an audition for his newest play, but Dennis says it is an all Chinese cast.
Whilst collecting table placings, Ross meets Mona, a colleague of Monica's. He flirts with her, complimenting her on her name, and when she leaves, he switches his table so he can sit with her, only to discover that he switched onto the wrong table – he has in fact seated himself at the children's table. Ross asks Mona to dance, but a little girl from his table asks him whether he can dance with her. Mona says she can have the first |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozi%20TV | Cozi TV (stylized on-air as COZI TV) is an American free-to-air television network owned by the NBC Owned Television Stations division of NBCUniversal. The network airs classic television series from the 1960s to the 2000s.
The network originated as a local news and lifestyle programming format that was launched between 2009 and 2011 and was seen on digital subchannels operated by nine owned-and-operated stations television stations of the NBC television network in the United States under the brand NBC Nonstop. The sitcoms and drama series now appearing on Cozi are primarily from the NBCUniversal Television Distribution program library. Cozi is also available via cable television, Dish Network, AT&T U-verse, DirecTV and streaming services YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and LocalBTV.
History
NBC Nonstop
After NBCUniversal shut down NBC Weather Plus in December 2008 (shortly after the company, along with Blackstone Group and Bain Capital, purchased The Weather Channel), the company's flagship WNBC in New York City replaced Weather Plus' successor, automated local weather service, NBC Plus, on digital subchannel 4.2 on March 9, 2009, with NBC New York Nonstop, a channel that featured a mix of locally produced news and lifestyle programming.
In June 5, 2010, NBC Local Media appointed former WNBC General manager Tom O'Brien in the newly created position of Executive vice president of Nonstop Network. In October, WNBC sister stations WCAU and WRC-TV respectively launched their own versions of the Nonstop channel in the Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. markets. Chicago's WMAQ-TV launched its own local version in November 2010. NBC's three owned-and-operated stations in California (KNBC in Los Angeles, KNTV in San Jose, California-San Francisco and KNSD in San Diego) collaborated to launch the only regional Nonstop channel, NBC California Nonstop, in January 2011; Nonstop channels were also launched by KXAS-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and WTVJ in Miami that same month. Each station's Nonstop subchannel carried eight hours of locally produced programming (usually in the form of additional local newscasts exclusive to the subchannel that were produced by each station for their respective market, and some lifestyle or talk-oriented programs), along with core programming from affiliated production company LXTV (such as Talk Stoop, First Look and Open House – the latter two of which were later picked up by NBC for its Saturday late-night lineup).
Cozi TV
In October 2011, NBC Station hired Meredith McGinn as a vice president to leading the development and launch of the network.
On November 3, 2011, NBC Owned Television Stations announced that its seven local Nonstop subchannels would become a single national network under the proposed name NBC Nonstop Network (also to have been called NBC Nonstop or Nonstop Network); the format of the national network was originally planned to feature a format similar to the local Nonstop channels, which would have placed |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United%20States%20cyber-diplomacy | Cyber-diplomacy is the evolution of public diplomacy to include and use the new platforms of communication in the 21st century. As explained by Jan Melissen in The New Public Diplomacy: Soft Power in International Relations, cyber-diplomacy “links the impact of innovations in communication and information technology to diplomacy.” Cyber-diplomacy is also known as or is part of public diplomacy 2.0, EDiplomacy, and virtual diplomacy. Cyber-diplomacy has as its underpinnings that, “it recognizes that new communication technologies offer new opportunities to interact with a wider public by adopting a network approach and making the most of an increasingly multicentric global, interdependent system.”
U.S. cyber-diplomacy is led by the United States Department of State and is a new tool in fulfilling the U.S. public diplomacy mission. As stated by Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, the mission of American public diplomacy “is to support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world.” Even though the United States had engaged in cyber-diplomacy under President George W. Bush in 2006, the United States officially launched its cyber-diplomacy campaign in 2009. The development of cyber-diplomacy by the United States is a response to the shifts in international relations by extending the reach of U.S. diplomacy beyond government-to-government communications. The U.S. is adapting its statecraft by reshaping its diplomatic agendas to meet old challenges in new ways and by utilizing America's innovation. Cyber-Diplomacy as identified by the United States Department of State, “encompasses a wide range of U.S. interests in cyberspace. These include not only cyber security and Internet freedom, but also Internet governance, military uses of the Internet, innovation and economic growth. Cyberspace has also become a foreign policy issue in multilateral fora, in our bilateral relationships, and in our relationships with industry and civil society.”
State Department: 21st century statecraft
Cyber-diplomacy was embraced by the United States Department of State in the commencement of 21st century statecraft, utilizing YouTube, multimedia and social media to reach publics, in 2009. The U.S. Department of State's official explanation of it is, “The complementing of traditional foreign policy tools with newly innovated and adapted instruments of statecraft that fully leverages the networks, technologies, and demographics of our interconnected world.” “The First Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review of 2010”, explains 21st century diplomacy as the United States’ adaptation to an increasingly varied set of actors who influence national debates, such as an increasing am |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%20RT | Windows RT is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. It is a version of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 built for the 32-bit ARM architecture (ARMv7). First unveiled in January 2011 at Consumer Electronics Show, the Windows RT 8 operating system was officially launched alongside Windows 8 on October 26, 2012, with the release of three Windows RT-based devices, including Microsoft's original Surface tablet. Unlike Windows 8, Windows RT is only available as preloaded software on devices specifically designed for the operating system by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Microsoft intended for devices with Windows RT to take advantage of the architecture's power efficiency to allow for longer battery life, to use system-on-chip (SoC) designs to allow for thinner devices and to provide a "reliable" experience over time. In comparison to other mobile operating systems, Windows RT also supports a relatively large number of existing USB peripherals and accessories and includes a version of Microsoft Office 2013 optimized for ARM devices as pre-loaded software. However, while Windows RT inherits the appearance and functionality of Windows 8, it has a number of limitations; it can only execute software that is digitally signed by Microsoft (which includes pre-loaded software and Windows Store apps), and it lacks certain developer-oriented features. It also lacks support for running applications designed for x86 processors, which were the main platform for Windows at the time. This would later be corrected with the release of Windows 10 version 1709 for ARM64 devices.
Windows RT was released to mixed reviews from various outlets and critics. Some felt that Windows RT devices had advantages over other mobile platforms (such as iOS or Android) because of its bundled software and the ability to use a wider variety of USB peripherals and accessories, but the platform was criticized for its poor software ecosystem, citing the early stage of Windows Store and its incompatibility with existing Windows software, and other limitations over Windows 8.
Critics and analysts deemed Windows RT to be commercially unsuccessful, citing these limitations, its unclear, uncompetitive position of sitting as an underpowered system between Windows Phone and Windows 8, and the introduction of Windows 8 devices with battery life and functionality that met or exceeded that of Windows RT devices. Improvements to Intel's mobile processors, along with a decision by Microsoft to remove OEM license fees for Windows on devices with screens smaller than 9 inches, spurred a market for low-end Wintel tablets running the full Windows 8 platform.

Hosted by Gina de Venecia, it premiered on August 18, 1997. The show concluded on February 21, 2003. It was replaced by Nagmamahal, Manay Gina in its timeslot.
Overview
The plight of battered women and children whose lives were transformed by The Haven for Women (an establishment of the nine-building in Alabang. It was inaugurated on September 30, 1995. Its main goal is to rehabilitate the abused women and help them to reclaim their God-given right to live with dignity) served as inspiration for her to come up a radio drama program entitled Pira-pirasong Pangarap, launched in June 1996 on DZRH. The following year, the TV version made its debut on GMA Network. This also the radio drama to moved from DZRH to Super Radyo DZBB, the AM radio station of GMA Network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baladna%20bel%20Masry | Hosted by Egyptian journalist Reem Maged, Baladna bel Masry ( ) is a daily Egyptian talk show broadcast by Egyptian satellite television network ONTV. The show airs Sunday-Thursday at 8:30pm. The ONTV network bills the show as reflecting "all the cultural & entertainment affairs that occur in Egypt," while at the same time offering in-depth analysis on events that accurately represents public views on current affairs.
Political Coverage
The show has notably tackled a number of politically sensitive issues in Egypt since the 2011 Egyptian revolution. Maged herself was summoned for questioning by military authorities following journalist and blogger Hossam el-Hamalawy's revelation of torture in military prisons on the program. Furthermore, former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik resigned one day after a contentious interview on the show in which he was confronted by Egyptian author Alaa al-Aswany, leading many to remark that the talk show had led to Shafik's downfall. Such instances of critical political coverage have led the show to be described as one of "the most respected and nuanced programs in Egypt in the post-revolution atmosphere." According to a report issued by the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information and the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights, Baladna bel Masry has been more critical than its competitors in its coverage of the Egyptian judicial system and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) since the ousting of former president Hosni Mubarak.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media%20Object%20Server | The Media Object Server (MOS) protocol allows newsroom computer systems (NCS) to communicate using a standard protocol with video servers, audio servers, still stores, and character generators for broadcast production.
The MOS protocol is based on XML. It enables the exchange of the following types of messages:
Descriptive Data for Media Objects. The MOS "pushes" descriptive information and pointers to the NCS as objects are created, modified, or deleted in the MOS. This allows the NCS to be "aware" of the contents of the MOS and enables the NCS to perform searches on and manipulate the data the MOS has sent.
Playlist Exchange. The NCS can build and transfer playlist information to the MOS. This allows the NCS to control the sequence that media objects are played or presented by the MOS.
Status Exchange. The MOS can inform the NCS of the status of specific clips or the MOS system in general. The NCS can notify the MOS of the status of specific playlist items or running orders.
MOS was developed to reduce the need for the development of device specific drivers. By allowing developers to embed functionality and handle events, vendors were relieved of the burden of developing device drivers. It was left to the manufacturers to interface newsroom computer systems. This approach affords broadcasters flexibility to purchase equipment from multiple vendors. It also limits the need to have operators in multiple locations throughout the studio as, for example, multiple character generators (CG) can be fired from a single control workstation, without needing an operator at each CG console.
MOS enables journalists to see, use, and control media devices inside Associated Press's ENPS system so that individual pieces of newsroom production technology speak a common XML-based language.
History of MOS
The first meeting of the MOS protocol development group occurred at the Associated Press ENPS developer's conference in Orlando, Florida in 1998. The fundamental concepts of MOS were released to the public domain at that conference.
As an open protocol, the MOS Development Group encourages the participation of broadcast equipment vendors and their customers. More than 100 companies are said to work with AP on MOS-related projects. Compatible hardware and software includes video editing, storage and management; automation; machine control; prompters; character generators; audio editing, store and management; web publishing, interactive TV, field transmission and graphics.
Current development is happening on two tracks: a socket-based version, and a web service version. The current official versions of the MOS protocol, as of January 2011, are 2.8.4 (sockets) and 3.8.4 (web service).
In 2016 proposals began to introduce IP Video support in the MOS protocol. This proposal allows representations of live IP Video sources such as NDI (Network Device Interface) to be included as MOS objects alongside MOS objects representing files to be played off disk |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavite%E2%80%93Laguna%20Expressway | The Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAX or CALAEX), signed as E3 of the Philippine expressway network, is a partially operational controlled-access toll expressway in the provinces of Cavite and Laguna, Philippines. The construction of the expressway, which began in July 2019, costs an estimated . Once completed, it will connect the Manila–Cavite Expressway in Kawit to the South Luzon Expressway in Biñan and is expected to ease the traffic congestion in the Cavite–Laguna area, particularly along the Aguinaldo Highway, Governor's Drive, and the Santa Rosa–Tagaytay Road.
Route description
CALAX begins as the Mamplasan Rotunda, a roundabout intersecting with South Luzon Expressway's Greenfield City-Unilab (Mamplasan) Exit, LIIP Avenue, and Greenfield Parkway in Biñan. It continues west then making a reverse curve to the southwest through the future Greenfield City Biñan development. It enters the Laguna Boulevard right of way near the boulevard's intersection with Greenfield Parkway. It approaches the first toll plaza near the Verdana Homes gated community, and continues southwest, passing through a mix of developed and undeveloped areas at barangays Loma, Timbao and Malamig, then turning south into barangay Biñan, where it passes near Laguna Technopark, De La Salle University – Laguna Campus and several gated communities; access for them is provided by service roads. The expressway partially runs above grade, utilizing underpass bridges, mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls and a viaduct at this section to pass above major intersections and accesses.
Entering Santa Rosa, CALAX descends into grade level to cross the Silang–Santa Rosa River and clear a power line, then gently curves to the southwest to follow the Nuvali Boulevard right of way, where the expressway ascends above grade again to pass over South Boulevard, served by the Laguna Boulevard Exit. Past the exit, it leaves the Nuvali Boulevard right of way and crosses the Silang–Santa Rosa River once again, this time the Cavite–Laguna provincial boundary into Silang. It makes another reverse curve through cornfields to the Santa Rosa–Tagaytay Exit, a trumpet interchange which leads to Santa Rosa–Tagaytay Road.
The expressway continues southwest and makes a few turns before traversing a bridge and enters a cut section, passing near the Ayala Westgrove Heights. It turns northwest and passes under Tibig Road before ending at Silang East Exit, a diamond interchange which leads to Tibig-Kaong Road. A future road will be built west of the Silang East interchange that will connect to the Cavite segment of the expressway.
History
Construction and groundbreaking
There were four pre-qualified bidders vying for CALAX: Alloy MTD Philippines Inc.; Team Orion, the consortium of AC Infrastructure Holdings Inc., AboitizLand, Inc., and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Philippines; MPCALA Holdings Inc.; and Optimal Infrastructure Development Inc. of San Miguel Corporation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RHC-Cadena%20Azul | Radio Habana Cuba-Cadena Azul (lit. "Radio Havana Cuba-Blue Network") was a Cuban radio network operating in various forms from 1939 until 1954. It was a heated rival of radio network CMQ.
History
Origins
RHC was created in 1939 by Felix O'Shea, founder of Havana's CMK radio station, with stations in Jovellanos, Matanzas and Victoria de Las Tunas; the network was then sold to Cristóbal Díaz González. Cadena Azul began in 1939. In 1940, Amado Trinidad Velazco became the owner and various Cuban stations merged with CMHI, among which were CMCF and CMKO thus forming Radio Habana Cuba, with its offices at Prado #54, corner of Capdevila Street. Díaz González was a partner with the Cuban telephone company, and with his connections the network had access to a telephone line repeater that could pass on the signals across the island.
Characteristics
The goals of RHC Cadena Azul were to:
Promote Cuban-ness
Protect domestic artists
Position Cuban music in its "rightful" place as they saw it
Provide the listener with the best quality music
Raise the standards of music broadcasting by radio
To achieve this Trinidad raised the artists' and technicians' salaries. RHC Cadena Azul employed 40 singers, 34 actors, 18 announcers, 20 writers, 10 composers and 10 bands.
Some famous musicians of RHC Cadena Azul were Iris Burguet, Manolo Álvarez Mera, René Cabell, Vicentico Valdés, Miguelito Valdés, Joseíto Fernández and Barbarito Diez; actors like Rita Montaner, Jesús Alvariño, Rolando Ochoa, Leopoldo Fernández Salgado, Aníbal de Mar, Otto Sirgo and Rosendo Rosell.
Singer and composer Sindo Garay, was one of the network's most popular artists, with 116 songs. Mexican artists who worked at the studios between 1942-1946 included Jorge Negrete, Tito Guizar and Pedro Vargas, and Argentine entertainer Libertad Lamarque.
End of the Trinidad era
In 1952, Trinidad sold the network to Bed Marving of the U.S., who changed its name to Cadena Azul de Cuba.
On March 1, 1954, Cadena Azul de Cuba was closed replaced by the Circuito Nacional Cubano.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMM%20One | The WIMM One is a developer device for the WIMM platform produced by WIMM Labs. It is a wearable computing device running a modified version of the Android operating system. It comes preloaded with several apps. Additional applications can be downloaded from the micro app store or side-loaded over USB.
Features
Screen
The WIMM One has a transflective bi-modal screen. In high power mode it can reproduce colour images with an 18-bit colour depth (OS limited to 16-bit). In low-power mode it can reproduce 4-bit grayscale images. The WIMM One's screen is on all the time the device is powered on. This allows information to be readily available to the user without them having to interact with the device. When the device is in low power mode the screen is updated once per minute. When the device is woken into high-power mode the screen refreshes at 60 fps and fully interactive apps can be run.
Sensors
The WIMM One has a complement of sensors similar to that of a smart phone including:
3-axis Magnetometer (Compass)
3-axis accelerometer
14-pin connector
A 14-pin connector runs across the back of the WIMM One. This is used for charging and USB communications. It also supports data communication with accessories developed for the WIMM platform.
Communications
For access to the outside world the WIMM One has 2 radios. One for Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and one for Bluetooth 2.1. These are aggressively power managed by the OS. The Wi-Fi radio is only turned on for short bursts where it is used to sync data. The Bluetooth radio can be used to maintain a connection with a smart phone running Android, BlackBerryOS or iOS. This allows the WIMM One to react to telephony events such as incoming calls, for example allowing calls to be rejected to voicemail. When paired with Android smartphones, it will also receive SMS and contact information. The Bluetooth link can also be used to sync data by taking advantage of the paired device's internet connectivity. Syncing happens at a user set interval between 30 minutes and 12 hours. Applications can also request an immediate network connection off of schedule.
Due to the form factor of the device being significantly different from the majority of Android devices, many of the default Android UI elements are unwieldy on the WIMM. To compensate for this a set of custom widgets and APIs are provided for developers. These include widgets for text entry and dialog boxes. Applications developed for the WIMM One can be uploaded to the * provided by WIMM Labs. Instead of heavy management on the module's screen, users can manage their apps and standard module settings through a web-based console from their desktop or smartphone. Standard settings include calendar setup (Outlook and Google), global cities, sync intervals, and date/time formats. The WIMM One automatically installs applications that have been selected in the web console.
Reception
The WIMM One has been generally well received with significant press gained from The Verge |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey%20Xote | Donkey Xote (known in some regions as Donkey X or Aeslet) is a 2007 3D computer-animated children's film produced by Lumiq Studios. A co-production between Spain and Italy, the film is directed by José Pozo and written by Angel Pariente, based on the Miguel de Cervantes novel Don Quixote, and features the voices of Andreu Buenafuente, David Fernández, Sonia Ferrer and José Luis Gil. The film has gained notoriety as a mockbuster as the lead character Rucio bears an intentional resemblance to Donkey from the Shrek film series, along with the poster having the tagline "From the producers who saw Shrek".
Donkey Xote was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012, and theatrically released on 22 November 2007 by Lumiq Studios and Filmax International. It grossed €12 million ($18 million) on a €13 million ($19 million) budget.
Plot
The film begins with a narration of the story as told by Cervantes, but the narrator is interrupted by the donkey Rucio who insists on telling the "true" story of the adventure: Don Quixote was not crazy, but in fact an intelligent and passionate person. In Rucio's re-telling of his adventure with Don Quixote and his squire, Sancho Panza, we learn that Rucio wishes he were Quixote's horse, and that the horse, Rocinante, hates leaving his stable.
Quixote, Sancho, Rucio and Rocinante had gone on an adventure to search for Quixote's supposed true love Dulcinea but were unable to find her. However, Sancho lied that he saw her for a brief moment when Quixote was not with him, so Quixote firmly believes that Dulcinea is out there somewhere. Because of their adventure, Quixote and Sancho have become famous in their home village of La Mancha, much to the ire of their childhood acquiantance Bachelor Sansón Carrasco. Quixote and Sancho later learn from Carrasco that the region has been flooded with letters by one known as the Knight of the Crescent Moon who is searching for Quixote to challenge him to a duel in Barcelona on the next full moon. If the knight should win, Quixote will renounce both his knighthood and Dulcinea forever, but if Quixote be the winner, the knight will reveal the true identity of Dulcinea and give her all his treasures and possessions. Quixote decides to accept the knight's challenge, and to prepare him for his journey, Carrasco gives him the armour of a renowned knight. After Quixote, Sancho, Rucio and Rocinante depart for their journey, Carrasco reveals to his subordinate Avellaneda that he only helped Quixote and Sancho to look good in front of the townspeople and that his goal is to destroy the duo's fame and become more famous than them. To do this, he seeks to hire the services of Sinister Knight, a villain previously thought to have been made up by Quixote, to ensure Quixote and Sancho never make it to Barcelona in time for the duel. The armour that was given to Quixote is meant to hinder their progress.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-reduce%20parser | A shift-reduce parser is a class of efficient, table-driven bottom-up parsing methods for computer languages and other notations formally defined by a grammar. The parsing methods most commonly used for parsing programming languages, LR parsing and its variations, are shift-reduce methods. The precedence parsers used before the invention of LR parsing are also shift-reduce methods. All shift-reduce parsers have similar outward effects, in the incremental order in which they build a parse tree or call specific output actions.
Overview
A shift-reduce parser scans and parses the input text in one forward pass over the text, without backing up. The parser builds up the parse tree incrementally, bottom up, and left to right, without guessing or backtracking. At every point in this pass, the parser has accumulated a list of subtrees or phrases of the input text that have been already parsed. Those subtrees are not yet joined together because the parser has not yet reached the right end of the syntax pattern that will combine them.
Consider the string A = B + C * 2.
At step 7 in the example, only "A = B +" has been parsed. Only the shaded lower-left corner of the parse tree exists. None of the parse tree nodes numbered 8 and above exist yet. Nodes 1, 2, 6, and 7 are the roots of isolated subtrees covering all the items 1..7. Node 1 is variable A, node 2 is the delimiter =, node 6 is the summand B, and node 7 is the operator +. These four root nodes are temporarily held in a parse stack. The remaining unparsed portion of the input stream is "C * 2".
A shift-reduce parser works by doing some combination of Shift steps and Reduce steps, hence the name.
A Shift step advances in the input stream by one symbol. That shifted symbol becomes a new single-node parse tree.
A Reduce step applies a completed grammar rule to some of the recent parse trees, joining them together as one tree with a new root symbol.
The parser continues with these steps until all of the input has been consumed and all of the parse trees have been reduced to a single tree representing an entire legal input.
Tree building steps
At every parse step, the entire input text is divided into parse stack, current lookahead symbol, and remaining unscanned text. The parser's next action is determined by the rightmost stack symbol(s) and the lookahead symbol. The action is read from a table containing all syntactically valid combinations of stack and lookahead symbols.
See for a simpler example.
Grammars
A grammar is the set of patterns or syntax rules for the input language. It doesn't cover all language rules, such as the size of numbers, or the consistent use of names and their definitions in the context of the whole program. Shift-reduce parsers use a context-free grammar that deals just with local patterns of symbols.
An example grammar as a tiny subset of the Java or C language capable of matching A = B + C*2 might be:
Assign ← id = Sums
Sums ← Sums + Prod |

Despite using the "Nickelodeon" branding, it does not air any content from the original American network in recent times as part of a localisation strategy, and thus, original Nickelodeon content is only broadcast on the Nickelodeon HD+ channel. As of October 2020, Nickelodeon is the most watched children's channel in India.
History
Nickelodeon was launched in India on 16 October 1999. Zee TV was in charge of distributing the channel to cable operators, in a deal made with Viacom.
Nickelodeon is the second children's television channel after Cartoon Network.
After that, Zee TV launched a Nickelodeon-branded programming block on its main channel, also called "Zee TV", as part of a distribution deal between Viacom International and Zee Entertainment Enterprises. It was replaced by the Cartoon Network block in 2002.
In 2004, Viacom revamped Nickelodeon in India to increase its viewership, including branding the channel just as Nick, creating local programs and launching a Hindi audio track.
On 23 November 2006, Nickelodeon India ceased to be distributed in Pakistan and was replaced with a dedicated local version of Nickelodeon in that country.
Viacom signed a programming deal with Sun TV Network in 2007 according to which Nickelodeon shows will air on Chutti TV dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. This deal was later cancelled when Nickelodeon decided to add Tamil and Telugu audio tracks to their own channel.
In 2007, the joint venture between Viacom and TV18 called Viacom18 was formed, and the channels MTV, Nick India and VH1 became part of the new company.
On 25 June 2010, Nick India was rebranded, using the newly launched logo used in US. It was the last major market to undergo this makeover.
In December 2011, Viacom 18 launched a new channel called Sonic. Initially, the channel was focused on action and adventure, before switching their focus to comedy in 2016.
Viacom18 Motion Pictures distributed Keymon Ache & Nani in Space Adventure, a film based on the Nickelodeon India series Keymon Ache in 2012. Another theatrical film, Motu Patlu: King Of Kings from the Motu Patlu franchise was released in Hindi and Tamil on 14 October 2016.
Nick Jr. was launched in late 2012 after being spun off from the main channel. As the main channel did not air any live action shows, these shows aired on TeenNick, which was aired in the evenings on Nick Jr. until 1 February 2017, when it was discontinued.
In 2013, the channel hosted its first localized Kids Choice Awards.
On 5 December 2015, Viacom18 launched Nickelodeon HD+, the first children's channel in High Definition in India. It originates a different schedule than the main network, including previously unaired international programming such as The Le |

Hosted by Love Añover, Patricia Gayod and Jermaine Ulgasan, it premiered on June 6, 2009. The show concluded on March 27, 2010 with a total of 44 episodes.
Overview
The shortage of public early childhood care and development institutions in the Philippines challenged GMA News and Public Affairs to produce a definitive pre-school education program with the objective of shaping a whole new generation's viewpoint.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization or (UNESCO) Education for All by 2015 report states that pre-primary education in the Philippines is available only to 41% of the total population, as most pre-schools are privately owned and concentrated in highly urbanized areas.
Happy Land's goal is to inspire young viewers to discover happiness despite the bad things in life.
Combining animation, digital technology, and live-action photography, Happy Land aims to bring Filipino children to a new level of TV viewing. Aside from the narrative, the show will also teach basic pre-school subjects like Language and the Alphabet, Math, Science, and General Knowledge through independent segments.

The band consists of Craig Grant (vocals/guitar), Louis Abbott (guitar/vocals), Dave Reekie (bass), Alex McNutt (programming/keyboards), and Pete Kelly (drums). Song of Return was the winner of the Tartan Clef Big Apple Award on 13 October 2011.
The band's live performances have been well received, with The Scotsman remarking that "the combined vocal prowess of Craig Grant and Louis Abbott, coupled with top drawer musicianship throughout the band, makes for an enthralling prospect."
History
Formation and Limits LP (2010 - 2011)
The band was formed by Craig Grant and Chris Gordon (formerly of Baby Chaos) in 2010 after the dissolution of Scottish electronic/indie outfit Union of Knives. Grant and Gordon began writing music together and wanted to continue making music. Soon after forming, Chris Gordon decided he did not want to continue to play live. Afterward, Grant began to recruit other members to participate in writing and studio work, as well as provide a backing band for live shows. Producer, mastering engineer, and programmer Alex McNutt (of Glaswegian bands June and Paige. Louis Abbott (of Scottish indie-folk group Admiral Fallow) came in for guitar and vocals. Dave Reekie (of Scottish alternative pop outfit Otherpeople) was brought in to play bass, and Peter Kelly (of Scottish psychedelic rock trio Moon Unit and formerly of Single Helix
) was brought in to play drums. While Gordon continued to be referenced as a non-live member of the band, he is no longer listed among band members on the group's official Facebook page, while the live band is listed with equal billing to Grant as members.
The group's debut album Limits was released independently on 6 June 2011. The album featured 11 tracks and was released as a digital release as well as a limited CD release.
Trajectory EP and The Big Apple Award (2011 - 2012)
Song of Return were crowned victors of the 2011 Big Apple Tartan Clef Award as Best New Band at The Garage in Glasgow on 13 October 2011. The award was a competition between Scottish acts vying for the right to perform at the Scottish Music Awards in November 2011 and perform during Scottish Week 2012 in New York City. The award is a collaborative partnership between Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy (a Scottish music charity), Creative Scotland, The American-Scottish Foundation, and Clash. Song of Return was selected over Laki Mera, Finding Albert, Wrongnote, and Woodenbox with a Fistful of Fivers.
On 5 December 2011, the band released the digitally distributed Trajectory EP, which featured a single edit of "Trajectory" from Limits, along with three previously unreleased tracks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Fi%20Valley%20Con | Sci-Fi Valley Con (formerly Sci-Fi in the Valley Con) is an annual three day multi-genre convention held during June at the Blair County Convention Center in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Programming
The convention typically offers board gaming, charity auction, costume contest, film festival, guest panels, role-playing gaming, table-top gaming, trivia tournaments, vendors, video gaming, and workshops. The 2012 charity auction raised $1200 for The Machine Gun Preacher's Save the Children Foundation. 2013's charity auction benefited Shriners Hospitals for Children and raised almost $1500. The 2022 charity auction benefited the Children's Miracle Network.
History
Sci-Fi in the Valley Con 2012 was moved from the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to the North Central Recreation Center in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. This occurred due to a local fee that would affect the conventions dealers. In 2013, the convention moved to the Jaffa Shrine and used the bottom floor. It used both of the Jaffa's floors in 2014. The convention used half of the Blair County Convention Center in 2015, and the whole facility in 2016. Sci-Fi Valley Con 2020 was moved from June to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and later cancelled. Sci-Fi Valley Con 2021 was moved from June to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The October 2021 convention had lower than normal attendance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God%20of%20War%3A%20Ascension | God of War: Ascension is an action-adventure hack and slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). The game was first released on March 12, 2013, for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console. It is the seventh installment in the God of War series and a prequel to the entire series. Loosely based on Greek mythology, it is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the protagonist, Kratos, the former servant of the God of War Ares, who tricked Kratos into killing his wife and daughter. In response to this tragedy, Kratos renounced Ares, breaking his blood oath to the god. Kratos was, therefore, imprisoned and tortured by the three Furies, guardians of honor and enforcers of punishment. Helped by the oath keeper, Orkos, Kratos escapes his imprisonment and confronts the Furies, aiming to free himself of his bond to Ares.
The gameplay is similar to previous installments, focusing on combo-based combat with the player's main weapon, the Blades of Chaos, and other weapons acquired by the game's World Weapons mechanic. It continues the use of quick time events from previous entries but also utilizes a promptless free-form system. Four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability can be used as alternative combat options, and the game features puzzles and platforming elements. The game also features a redesigned combat system, gameplay mechanics not available in previous installments, and downloadable content. Notably, Ascension is the only installment in the series to include multiplayer, which is online-only and features modes for both competitive and cooperative play. From October 2012 to March 2013, a social experience was available online in the form of a graphic novel titled Rise of the Warrior, a prequel story that tied into the game's single-player and multiplayer modes. Ascension was the last game in the series (production-wise; chronologically it was God of War III) to be based on Greek mythology and also the last one to feature Terrence C. Carson as the voice of Kratos as the franchise shifted to Norse mythology with 2018's God of War and Christopher Judge took over the role of Kratos.
God of War: Ascension received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its fundamental gameplay and spectacle as true to the series, although the story was deemed to be less compelling than in previous installments. The game's multiplayer element received mixed responses: although reviewers found that the gameplay translated well into the multiplayer setting, they criticized the balance and depth of combat. Ascension sold less well than its predecessor, with only 3 million copies sold and received no awards, but it did however, receive several nominations, including "Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing" at the Writers Guild of America Videogame Awards and the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences award for "Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail%20Agursky | Mikhail Samuilovich Agursky (; 1933 – 21 August 1991), real name Melik Samuilovich Agursky (), was a Soviet cyberneticist and dissident, who after emigration became a prominent Sovietologist and historian of National Bolshevism.
Biography
Family
Mikhail Agursky was born in Moscow in 1933 to a Jewish family. His father, Samuil (Shmuel) Haimovich Agursky, was a revolutionary and later historian who had left the Russian Empire and spent time in England and the United States before returning to Russia during the Revolution. Samuil Agursky would fall foul of the authorities during the Stalin era, suffering internal exile to Kazakhstan, where he died in 1947. In 1955 Mikhail Agursky married Vera Fiodorovna Kondratieva, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
In the USSR
Mikhail Agursky received an education in engineering, and worked at the ЭНИМС before completing his aspirantura in cybernetics at the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1969. After graduating he found employment at the НИИТМ, an institute directly subordinate to the Ministry of General Machine Building, where he worked until the autumn of 1970. During this period he also published a series of scientific works in specialised journals. In 1970 Agursky ended up unemployed after leaving the НИИТМ but failing to secure employment in the field of biocybernetics at the Institute of Automatization and Telemechanics (ИАТ). Having a family to support, he ended up working as a translator for academic journals and for the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate, and cataloguing materials at the Moscow Theological Academy.
Agursky's activity was not limited to his sphere of expertise. Already in the 60s he had become acquainted with Alexander Men, and through him he was introduced to Soviet underground currents of thought, and in the 1970s, coinciding with the turmoil in his professional life, he became active in the dissident movement. In this period Agursky met Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Igor Shafarevich and others, collaborating with them in samizdat publications, most notably Из-под глыб.
Emigration and death
His opposition to the Soviet regime eventually culminated in Agursky emigrating to Israel in 1975, where he became a fellow of the Soviet and East European Research Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He defended a second PhD thesis in Slavic Studies at the Sorbonne in 1983, titled "The National Roots of Soviet Power", and largely based on his book, The Ideology of National Bolshevism, which he had published (in Russian) in Paris in 1980. In that same year he became a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In Israel he combined his academic activity with political analysis in the media as well as commentary on Soviet affairs.
Invited to a congress in his native Moscow, Agursky was found dead of a heart attack in his hotel room on August 21, 1991, amid the political chaos unleashed by the August putsch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Omics%20Profiling%20Expression%20Database | The Multi-Omics Profiling Expression Database (MOPED) was an expanding multi-omics resource that supports rapid browsing of transcriptomics and proteomics information from publicly available studies on model organisms and humans. As to date (2021) it has ceased activities and is unaccessible online.
Systematic Protein Investigative Research Environment
MOPED is designed to simplify the comparison and sharing of data for the greater research community. MOPED employs the standardized analysis pipeline SPIRE to uniquely provide protein level absolute and relative expression data, meta- analysis capabilities and quantitative data. Processed relative expression transcriptomics data were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Data can be queried for specific proteins and genes, browsed based on organism, tissue, localization and condition, and sorted by false discovery rate and expression. MOPED empowers users to visualize their own expression data and compare it with existing studies. Further, MOPED links to various protein and pathway data- bases, including GeneCards, Panther, Entrez, UniProt, KEGG, SEED, and Reactome. Protein and gene identifiers are integrated from GeneCards (cross-referenced with MOPED), Genbank, RefSeq, UniProt, WormBase, and Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD). The current version of MOPED (MOPED 2.5, 2014) contains approximately 5 million total records including ~260 experiments and ~390 conditions. MOPED is developed and supported by the Kolker team at Seattle Children's Research Institute.
Model Organism Protein Expression Database
MOPED was previously known as the Model Organism Protein Expression Database, before changing its name to the Multi-Omics Profiling Expression Database.

It is a bogus return pointer or Structured Exception Handling (SEH) pointer which an exploit places on the call stack, directing control flow to existing code (within a dynamic-link library (DLL) or the static program binary). This target code in turn consists of a call or jump such as "CALL EBX" or "JMP ESP", where the appropriate processor register was previously prepared by the exploit to point to where the payload code begins.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazeebow%20Unit | Gazeebow Unit is a rap group from Newfoundland, Canada, founded by a group of teenagers in the provincial capital of St. John's. Gazeebow Unit uses a home computer to develop their music; they integrate samples and downloaded drum loops. The group was noted for its combination of the rap music styles with depictions of working-class Newfoundland culture and the use of the Newfoundland English dialect.
History
Gazeebow Unit was formed in 2005 by young white rappers from a suburban community, calling themselves Mike $hanx, Alpabit, and M to the C. They performed and recorded a number of satirical raps, including "Trikes & Bikes", "Mugsy" and "The Anthem". The group did not perform their music live at the time; instead they began distributing them online.
In 2006, Gazeebow Unit began performing, and appeared as part of a Donnie Dumphy concert in St. John's.
Critical reception
As well as gaining a large online audience of young rap fans, Gazebow Unit's raps attracted the attention of folklore experts, including Professor Philip Hiscock of Memorial University, who declared the trio's raps to be a form of folk music, blending the new rap form with traditional Newsfoundland culture and lyrics. There was disagreement, however, as to whether the members of the group were serious rappers. Academic Sandra Clarke declared that the use of Newfoundland vernacular by Gazeebow Unit was parodic, imitating the "skeet" blue-collar white culture of Newfoundland, to which the suburban youth did not actually belong. Marina Terkourafi, on the other hand, describes their use of Newfoundland dialect as metaparodic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramways%20in%20Plymouth | The tramways in Plymouth were originally constructed as four independent networks operated by three different companies to serve the adjacent towns of Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport in Devon, England. The merger of the 'Three Towns' into the new borough of Plymouth in 1914 was the catalyst for the three companies to join up under the auspices of the new Plymouth Corporation. The network was closed in 1945, partly as a result of bomb damage during World War II.
The earliest of the three companies, the Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport Tramway, was the first tramway in the United Kingdom to be constructed under the provisions of the Tramways Act 1870. Initially a gauge horse-worked line, it was later converted to gauge and electric power. The second was the Plymouth, Devonport and District Tramway (later the Plymouth Tramways Company), which was built to 3 feet 6 inch gauge and used both steam and horse power before electrification. The final company was the Devonport and District Tramway which also adopted the 3 feet 6 inch gauge but was electrified from the outset.
History
Plymouth grew up around a natural harbour on the eastern side of the promontory now known as Plymouth Hoe, on the south Devon coast. Naval dockyards were established at Plymouth Dock (later known as Devonport), facing across the River Tamar to the north west of Plymouth; Stonehouse was sandwiched between the two and became the home for military barracks, hospitals and a victualling yard.
The South Devon Railway arrived at Plymouth in 1848 and a permanent station was established at Millbay the following year. This was on the western side of Plymouth Hoe and a new commercial dock was established on the shore opposite the station. Immediately north of the station the railway crossed Union Street on a viaduct. This was a road which had been built to link the centres of the Three Towns. The Cornwall Railway opened another line from Millbay through in 1859.
Plymouth, Devonport and Stonehouse
The Tramways Act of 1870 was passed to enable the easier construction of street tramways, and the company promoting the line through Stonehouse was the first to take advantage of it. The tramway was opened on 18 March 1872. Starting from Derry's Clock by the Theatre Royal in Plymouth, it ran along Union Street and passed under the railway viaduct before entering Stonehouse. It then crossed over the "Halfpenny Bridge" (a toll bridge across a tidal creek) and entered Devonport. After climbing Devonport Hill it terminated at Cumberland Street. Two years later the line was extended beyond Cumberland Street along Chapel Street, Fore Street and Marlborough Street. This was a loop on which trams ran in an anti-clockwise direction.
The Stonehouse line was the only one in Plymouth to be built to the British standard gauge. Its trams were hauled by horses; two worked right through from Plymouth to Devonport but an additional pair were added to help across Stonehouse Bridge and one or two mo |
