https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transports%20publics%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9gion%20lausannoise | Transports publics de la région lausannoise, often abbreviated simply to TL, are the main operator of public transport in Lausanne and the wider agglomeration. As of 2012, TL operates a network of 10 trolleybus routes, 25 conventional bus routes and two métro lines, using more than 290 vehicles. TL operate weekend night services and demand responsive transport.
History
The history of the company is linked to the local railways. The origins can be traced back to the Lausanne–Ouchy Railway - a former funicular, which operated with several changes until 2006. That route was closed to make way for the new Métro line.
Switzerland's first funicular
Lausanne was reached by the railway in 1858, but Lausanne railway station was built neither in the town centre nor in the port of Ouchy. Lausanne city authorities moved to connect the station to both these districts, and the Federal Council granted a concession to run a railway line between Lausanne and Ouchy in 1871.
The line was built by the Lausanne-Ouchy (LO) Railway Company, established in 1874, as a funicular - the first in Switzerland. Service began on the line on 15 March 1877, and on 5 December 1879 a separate line from Lausanne station to the town centre, the Lausanne-Gare (LG) was commissioned, meaning both districts were connected to the station.
Lausanne Corporation Tramways
Plans were laid for a tram network in 1894, and Lausanne Corporation tramways, or Société des tramways lausannois , as the current transport network was called. The electricity used to power the future network was produced by the Couvaloup plant, built in 1895, also where the first tramcars were stabled.
The first rails were laid on 1 March 1896 and the network was inaugurated by 29 August. Regular operations started on 1 December 1896, except the Pontaise line whose opening was delayed until 25 December due to additional safety tests.
The tram network grew; several lines were created and others extended. The first depot-workshop was built at Prélaz between 1898 and 1900 to accommodate the new cars. The Jorat Regional Electric Railway Company - or Compagnie des Chemins de fer électriques régionaux du Jorat merged with TL in 1910, allowing them to double the length of their network and use the electricity power station at Mézières and a depot in Epalinges.
Gradual decline of the tram
In 1929, TL began their first bus service, followed in 1931 by the first modern trolleybus in Switzerland, on a route between Lausanne railway station and Ouchy. It led to the closure of the tram line between Closelet and Epinettes, which was not as suitable due to higher costs and the steep slope, meaning low speed and heavy use of brakes. The pioneering trolleybus is now preserved by the Trolleybus Association "Rétrobus" in Geneva.
The tram network began to decline from 1933, when it was at its largest extent of . The success of the Ouchy trolleybus experiment meant a further 32 vehicles were ordered, and this led to five tr |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybercrime%20Prevention%20Act%20of%202012 | The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, officially recorded as Republic Act No. 10175, is a law in the Philippines that was approved on September 12, 2012. It aims to address legal issues concerning online interactions and the Internet in the Philippines. Among the cybercrime offenses included in the bill are cybersquatting, cybersex, child pornography, identity theft, illegal access to data and libel.
While hailed for penalizing illegal acts done via the Internet that were not covered by old laws, the act has been criticized for its provision on criminalizing libel, which is perceived to be a curtailment of the freedom of expression—"cyber authoritarianism". Its use against journalists like Maria Ressa, of Rappler, has drawn international condemnation.
On October 9, 2012, the Supreme Court of the Philippines issued a temporary restraining order, stopping implementation of the Act for 120 days, and extended it on 5 February 2013 "until further orders from the court."
On February 18, 2014, the Supreme Court upheld most of the sections of the law, including the controversial cyberlibel component.
History
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is one of the first laws in the Philippines which specifically criminalizes computer crime, which prior to the passage of the law had no strong legal precedent in Philippine jurisprudence. While laws such as the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 8792) regulated certain computer-related activities, these laws did not provide a legal basis for criminalizing crimes committed on a computer in general: for example, Onel De Guzman, the computer programmer charged with purportedly writing the ILOVEYOU computer worm, was ultimately not prosecuted by Philippine authorities due to lack of legal basis to charge him under existing Philippine laws at the time of his arrest.
The first drafts of the Anti-Cybercrime and Data Privacy Acts started in 2001 under the Legal and Regulatory Committee of the former Information Technology and eCommerce Council ([ITECC) which is the forerunner of the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT) and now the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) It was headed by former Secretary Virgilio "Ver" Peña, with the Legal and Regulatory Committee chaired by Atty. Claro Parlade. The creation of the laws was an initiative of the Information Security and Privacy Sub-Committee chaired by Albert P. dela Cruz who was then president of the Philippine Computer Emergency Response Team (PHCERT), together with Anti-Computer Crime and Fraud Division (ACCFD) Chief, Elfren Meneses of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). The administrative and operational functions was provided by the Presidential Management Staff (PMS) acting as the CICT secretariat. The initial version] of the law was communicated to various other organizations and special interest groups during that time.
This was superseded by several cybercrime-related bills filed in th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew%20Stone%20%28computer%20programmer%29 | Andrew "Andy" C. Stone is an American computer programmer best known for his iOS app Twittelator, which to date has sold over a million units for the iPhone and the iPad. The founder, director, and principal programmer for Stone Design Corporation, Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his 25 plus year career as a programmer, he has published over 35 software titles for Hypercard, the NeXT workstation, Mac OS X, and for iOS iPhones and iPads. He retired from software development in 2015.
Hypercard
Andrew Stone was a contributing author to the Waite Group's Tricks of the HyperTalk Masters
Stone developed software for Sandia National Laboratories called ProtoTymer which allowed physical interfaces to be trial tested in a software version.
NeXT
Fascinated by Steve Jobs’ vision for the personal computer, Stone was the first independent developer for the NeXT Computer to ship a shrink-wrap product, TextArt in October 1989. TextArt allowed designers to manipulate PostScript text with virtual knobs, dials and sliders. By 1990, TextArt had evolved into Create, a drawing program which shipped in 1991. At the same time, Stone Design developed a multimedia database manager called DataPhile.
Stone Design was a leader in electronic software distribution on NeXT and was a constant advertising presence on the first ever app store which was also invented using NeXT tools, The Electronic AppWrapper. According to an employee at the Paget Press (the startup responsible for the first app store) it was originally AppWrapper #3 that was first demonstrated to Steve Jobs and showcased Stone Design Apps. where applications like Create and DataPhile were selling along with 3D Reality and other Stone Design Apps. Stone Design Apps can still be found on the iOS App Store today, making Stone Design perhaps the longest running developer actively using electronic distribution via any app store service.
Besides Stone's notoriety in the NeXT World as the first independent software developer to ship shrinkwrap product for the NeXT Computer, were the legendary raves he and John Perry Barlow threw over 3 years, the first being held at the Exploratorium in October 1992. These parties are still being discussed today because of the mixing of LSD and the NSA together in the same space.
Stone's participation with the first government sanctioned Dimethyltryptamine research with Dr. Rick Strassman in Albuquerque in the early 1990s led to a collaboration in the underwriting of DMT: The Spirit Molecule: A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences, documenting the research. Andrew Stone was a featured DMT volunteer in the documentary film DMT - The Spirit Molecule. Andrew Stone serves on the board of the Cottonwood Research Foundation with Dr. Strassman, which provides scientific research into the nature of consciousness.
Between that time and Apple's purchase of the NeXT Corporation in December 1996, Stone Design developed a number of other pro |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate%20Mobilization%20Networks | Immediate Mobilization Networks (in Spanish: Fuerzas Inmediatas de Movilización) were an alleged paramilitary organization formed by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to remain in control of the country if he was defeated in the 2012 presidential election.
History
Its objectives were to abort the opposition rallies before they could be prepared, detection of opposition leaders, organizing street protests and resistance and control of territory.
Chávez militias have been responsible (along with the Army) from the custody of the electoral process (polling security, custody of the votes and his move to places count). A first contingent would be deployed in 51% of polling stations, the rest at 49%, precisely in many of the places where the opposition is strong.
Of its approximately 3,800 members, not everyone would have military targets. Some of them could be limited to monitoring process, but other functions provided for these groups, composed of small teams of five to seven members, require violence. Venezuelan Army sources said that in June they started handing out about 8,000 AK-103 to this group.
They were formed by "social intelligence teams" and "communicators in action" ("street propaganda and guerrilla internet") and of "territorial control equipment," constituted "as Rapid Action Force and Action street, with ability to block or enable critical road corridors, geographic areas or localities" and "defend the spaces adjacent to state institutions."
Their tactics were based on Iranian Basij units whose performance was decisive to abort the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests in 2009, and used a complex system of communication encryption.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch-Paris%20line | Dutch-Paris escape line was a resistance network during World War II with ties to the Dutch, Belgian and French Resistance. Their main mission was to rescue people from the Nazis by hiding them or taking them to neutral countries. They also served as a clandestine courier service. In 1978 Yad Vashem recognized Dutch-Paris's illegal work of rescuing Jews by honoring the line's leader, Jean Weidner (aka Johan Hendrik Weidner) as Righteous Among the Nations on behalf of the entire network.
Summary
Dutch-Paris was a transnational resistance network composed of over 330 men, women and teenagers living in occupied France, Belgium and the Netherlands as well as neutral Switzerland. Between 1942 and 1944 they rescued approximately 3,000 people from the Nazis, mostly Jews, resisters, labor draft evaders and downed Allied aviators. They supported some of these people in hiding and smuggled others into neutral Switzerland or Spain. Dutch-Paris also acted as a clandestine courier service throughout western Europe for the Dutch government-in-exile, other resistance groups, churches and families. Dutch-Paris claimed no national, political or religious affiliation.
In 1978 Yad Vashem recognized the entire Dutch-Paris line as Righteous Among the Nations in the person of their leader, Jean Weidner, also known as Johan Henrik Weidner and John Henry Weidner.
History
Dutch-Paris began as separate grass-roots rescue operations in different cities during the spring and summer of 1942 when the Nazi occupation authorities started deporting Jews from the Netherlands, Belgium and France. The local groups organized themselves in Brussels, Paris and Lyon when Jews who were trying to get to Switzerland asked for help.
In Brussels, members of the Dutch expat community who were mostly businessmen and students created a Comité tot Steun voor Nederlandsche Oorlogsschlactoffers in België (Committee for the Support of Dutch War Victims in Belgium) that found hiding places for Jews and supported them with money, false documents and ration cards. Another category of fugitives known as Engelandvaarder (Dutch men and women who made their way out of occupied Holland to England) asked the committee for help getting to Spain. Some of the people the Comité helped asked a member of the group for help; others were passed to them by other resistance groups in Belgium and the Netherlands. For example, one of the leaders of the Comité, Benno Nijkerk, also served as treasurer of the Comité de Défense des Juifs en Belgiquë (Committee for the Defense of Jews in Belgium).
In Paris several Dutch expats began helping Dutch Jews and Engelandvaarders either on their own or in separate groups. One of these groups was led by a minor official at the Dutch embassy, Herman Laatsman.
In Lyon, a Dutch expatriate named Jean Weidner and his wife, Elisabeth Cartier, created an escape line for Jews. They took the fugitives through the town of Annecy and over the Swiss border near the village |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuoDB | NuoDB is a cloud-native distributed SQL database company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 2008 and incorporated in 2010, NuoDB technology has been used by Dassault Systèmes, as well as FinTech and financial industry entities including UAE Exchange, Temenos, and Santander Bank.
History
In 2008, the firm was founded by Barry S. Morris and Jim Starkey, with Morris serving as CEO until 2015. Originally called NimbusDB, the company name was changed to NuoDB in 2011. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, NuoDB patented its "elastically scalable database", filing in March 2011 and receiving approval only 15 months later (July 2012). In 2012, the firm raised $12 million in venture capital funds.
In 2013, Gartner listed NuoDB as a niche player in its Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems. Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech named NuoDB as one of their 2014 Innovation All Stars.
In February 2014, NuoDB announced an extension to its Series B funding round led by Dassault Systèmes. The round added $14.2 million to the company's funding. Morgenthaler Ventures, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners and Longworth Venture Partners participated in the round.
In 2015, Gartner again listed NuoDB, this time as a Visionary in its Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems. Morris, the company's founding CEO, became executive chairman in July 2015. Bob Walmsley, previously executive vice president of sales and services, was promoted to CEO. NuoDB raised a $17 million financing round in 2016 from existing investors including Dassault Systèmes, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Longworth Venture Partners and Morgenthaler Ventures. At that time, the company had raised a total of $59.7 million in funding. In 2017, CauseSquare announced its partnership with NuoDB, selecting NuoDB as the official database for the mobile social engagement platform designed for the non-profit sector.
In 2018, NuoDB became available on the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. One year later, NuoDB added Kubernetes availability in pursuit of a cloud-native, cloud-agnostic, multi-cloud strategy. In 2019, Temenos AG partnered with NuoDB, promoting scalability and IT service continuity.
NuoDB was acquired by Dassault Systèmes in December 2020.
Technology
SQL compliant, NuoDB's database technology is classified as "NewSQL". It has a distributed object architecture that works in the cloud, which means that when a new server is added in order to scale-out the database, the database runs faster. The database scales out without sharding. The database distributes tasks amongst several processors to avoid bottlenecks of data. It uses peer-to-peer messaging to route tasks to nodes, and it is ACID compliant.
The database uses a "tiered approach — comprising multiple, redundant tiers of transaction engines (TE) and storage managers (SM)." This approach helps scale the data predictably in the cloud. NuoDB domains consist of several redundant TEs and SMs |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20intranet | A national intranet is an Internet Protocol-based walled garden network maintained by a nation state as a national substitute for the global Internet, with the aim of controlling and monitoring the communications of its inhabitants, as well as restricting their access to outside media. Other names have been used, such as the use of the term halal internet in Islamic countries.
Such networks generally come with access to state-controlled media and national alternatives to foreign-run Internet services: search engines, web-based email, and so forth.
List of countries with national intranets
Myanmar
Burma before 2011 used to have a separate intranet for domestic use called Myanmar Wide Web.
Cuba
Cuba has its own state-controlled intranet called national web.
North Korea
North Korea's Kwangmyong network, dating back to 2000, is the best-known of this type of network. Cuba and Myanmar also use a similar network system that is separated from the rest of the Internet.
The network uses domain names under the .kp top-level domain that are not accessible from the global Internet. As of 2016 the network uses IPv4 addresses reserved for private networks in the 10.0.0.0/8 range.
Russia
In 2020 Russia tested internal internet known as RuNet (Internet in Russian Federation territory).
China
A primary insight flows from our research and it pertains to the stability of China’s internet: the internet in China is a walled garden in terms of structure yet at the same time dependent upon Western Europe and the United States for foreign connectivity. Put plainly, in terms of resilience, China could effectively withdraw from the global public internet and maintain domestic connectivity (essentially having an intranet). This means the rest of the world could be restricted from connecting into China, and vice versa for external connections for Chinese businesses/users.
Iran
The National Information Network of Iran works like the Great Firewall of China. In April 2011, a senior Iranian official, Ali Agha-Mohammadi announced government plans to launch its own halal internet, which would conform to Islamic values and provide appropriate services. Creating such a network, similar to the North Korean example, would prevent unwanted information from outside Iran getting into the closed system. The Iranian walled garden would have its own localized email service and search engine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle%20NoSQL%20Database | Oracle NoSQL Database is a NoSQL-type distributed key-value database from Oracle Corporation. It provides transactional semantics for data manipulation, horizontal scalability, and simple administration and monitoring.
Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is a managed cloud service for applications that require low latency, flexible data models, and elastic scaling for dynamic workloads.
Developers focus on application development and data store requirements rather than managing back-end servers, storage expansion, cluster deployments, topology, software installation/patches/upgrades, backup, operating systems, and availability. NoSQL database scales to meet dynamic application workloads and throughput requirements.
Users create tables to store their application data and perform database operations. A NoSQL table is similar to a relational table with additional properties including provisioned write units, read units, and storage capacity. Users provision the throughput and storage capacity in each table based on anticipated workloads. NoSQL Database resources are allocated and scaled accordingly to meet workload requirements. Users are billed hourly based on the capacity provisioned.
NoSQL Database supports tabular model. Each row is identified by a unique key, and has a value, of arbitrary length, which is interpreted by the application. The application can manipulate (insert, delete, update, read) a single row in a transaction. The application can also perform an iterative, non-transactional scan of all the rows in the database.
Licensing
Oracle Corporation distributes the Oracle NoSQL Database in three editions:
Oracle NoSQL Database Server Community Edition under an Apache License, Version 2.0
Oracle NoSQL Enterprise Edition under the Oracle Commercial License
Oracle NoSQL Basic Edition
Oracle NoSQL Database is licensed using a freemium model: open-source versions of Oracle NoSQL Community Edition are available, but end-users can purchase additional features and support via the Oracle Store.
Oracle NoSQL Database drivers, licensed pursuant to the Apache 2.0 License, are used with both the community and enterprise editions.
Main features
Architecture
Oracle NoSQL Database is built upon the Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition high-availability storage engine. It adds services to provide a distributed, highly available key/value store, suited for large-volume, latency-sensitive applications.
Sharding and replication
Oracle NoSQL Database is a client-server, sharded, shared-nothing system. The data in each shard are replicated on each of the nodes that comprise the shard. The major key for a record is hashed to identify the shard that the record belongs to. Oracle NoSQL Database is designed to support changing the number of shards dynamically in response to availability of additional hardware. If the number of shards changes, key-value pairs are redistributed across the new set of shards dynamically, without requiring a system shutdown |

The program was supplied on an 8K ROM, and was published by Computer Concepts. The use of ROM allowed the entire RAM of the host machine to be used for storing and manipulating the text, and providing printer-buffer functionality.
Features
The program was not a WYSIWYG text editor. Printer codes, controlling the formatting of the text when printed, had to be defined via the command. followed by the exact string of Escape-sequence characters for the specific printer that you were using, to enable bold, italic, line-length, font-pitch, font size etc.
Many companies such as Watford Electronics provided utility-ROMS that allowed customers to use 'macro-commands' to call pre-programmed escape-sequences for their printers, vs. having to memorize / refer to cheat-sheets every time they wished to enable a font-change.
The program offered a rudimentary Print-preview mode, using the 80-column 'Mode 3' mode on the BBC Model B (ordinary text editing used the 'Mode 7' 40-column mode). However, this print preview mode could not display printer-specific effects such as Bold, underlining or Italic. (The BBC computer did not natively support the display of these font effects on-screen)
Expansion hardware (paged RAM) tools were also manufactured by companies such as Watford Electronics, to enable larger printer-buffers, and print-previewing of large documents in the 80-column screen modes.
More complete WYSIWYG functionality was only introduced later (again, subject to the same limitations of the font-display on the BBC), with the company's 'Inter Word' ROM in 1986. Due to these limitations, from an end user experience perspective, Wordwise was often thought of as not being as advanced as the competing 'View' word processor from Acornsoft.

The program was upgraded in 1984 with the introduction of 'Wordwise Plus', on a 16K ROM. This introduced new features such as 'contiguous files', which used the entire space on an attached disk-drive as virtual memory. (The original Wordwise program limited the document size to 27K - the amount of usable RAM on a 32K BBC Micro Model B), up to 11 documents in memory simultaneously (1x main text document, and 10x 'Segments'), and a Macro-programming language, along with compatibility with the 6502 Second Processor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff%20Dean | Jeffrey Adgate "Jeff" Dean (born July 23, 1968) is an American computer scientist and software engineer. Since 2018, he has been the lead of Google AI. He was appointed Google’s chief scientist in 2023 after a reorganization of Google’s AI focused groups.
Education
Dean received a B.S., summa cum laude, from the University of Minnesota in computer science and economics in 1990. He received a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Washington in 1996, working under Craig Chambers on compilers and whole-program optimization techniques for object-oriented programming languages. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2009, which recognized his work on "the science and engineering of large-scale distributed computer systems".
Career
Before joining Google, Dean worked at DEC/Compaq's Western Research Laboratory, where he worked on profiling tools, microprocessor architecture and information retrieval. Much of his work was completed in close collaboration with Sanjay Ghemawat.
Before graduate school, he worked at the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS, developing software for statistical modeling and forecasting of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Dean joined Google in mid-1999, and was appointed the head of its Artificial Intelligence division in April 2018. While at Google, he designed and implemented large portions of the company's advertising, crawling, indexing and query serving systems, along with various pieces of the distributed computing infrastructure that underlies most of Google's products. At various times, he has also worked on improving search quality, statistical machine translation and internal software development tools and has had significant involvement in the engineering hiring process.
The projects Dean has worked on include:
Spanner, a scalable, multi-version, globally distributed, and synchronously replicated database
Some of the production system design and statistical machine translation system for Google Translate
Bigtable, a large-scale semi-structured storage system
MapReduce, a system for large-scale data processing applications
LevelDB, an open-source on-disk key-value store
DistBelief, a proprietary machine-learning system for deep neural networks that was eventually refactored into TensorFlow
TensorFlow, an open-source machine-learning software library
He was an early member of Google Brain, a team that studies large-scale artificial neural networks, and he has headed artificial intelligence efforts since they were split from Google Search.
Dean was the subject of controversy when the ethics in AI researcher, Timnit Gebru, challenged Google's research review process, ultimately leading to her departure from the company. Dean responded by publishing a letter on Google's approach to the research process that was the subject of further criticism and controversy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%20Phone%207 | Windows Phone 7 is the first release of the Windows Phone mobile client operating system, released worldwide on October 21, 2010, and in the United States on November 8, 2010. It runs on the Windows CE 6.0 kernel.
It received multiple large updates, the last being Windows Phone 7.8, which was released in January 2013 and added a few features backported from Windows Phone 8, such as a more customizable start screen. Microsoft ended support for Windows Phone 7 on January 8, 2013, and for Windows Phone 7.5 on October 14, 2014. It was succeeded by Windows Phone 8, which was released on October 29, 2012.
History
Microsoft officially unveiled the new operating system, Windows Phone 7 Series, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 15, 2010, and revealed additional details at MIX 2010 on March 15, 2010. The final SDK was made available on September 16, 2010. HP later decided not to build devices for Windows Phone, citing that it wanted to focus on devices for its newly purchased webOS. As its original name was criticized for being too complex and "wordy", the name of the operating system was officially shortened to just Windows Phone 7 on April 2, 2010.
On October 11, 2010, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the 10 launch devices for Windows Phone 7 with HTC, Dell, Samsung, and LG Support, with sales beginning on October 21, 2010 in Europe and Australia and November 8, 2010 in the United States. The devices were made available on 60 carriers in 30 countries, with additional devices to be launched in 2011. Upon the release of Windows Phone 7's "Mango" revision, additional manufacturers became partners, including Acer, Fujitsu, and ZTE.
Windows Phone initially supported twenty-five languages, with applications being available through Windows Phone Store in 35 countries and regions. Support for additional languages and regions were subsequently brought through both the Mango and Tango updates to the OS respectively.
Features
Core
Windows Phone 7 is the only version of Windows Phone that features the Windows CE kernel, which was also used in Windows Mobile and Pocket PC systems.
User interface
Windows Phone 7 features a user interface based on a design system codenamed and commonly referred to as Metro. The home screen, called "Start screen", is made up of "Live Tiles". Tiles are links to applications, features, functions and individual items (such as contacts, web pages, applications or media items). Users can add, rearrange, or remove tiles. Tiles are dynamic and update in real time – for example, the tile for an email account would display the number of unread messages or a tile could display a live update of the weather.
Several key features of Windows Phone 7 are organized into "hubs", which combine local and online content via Windows Phone's integration with popular social networks such as Facebook, Windows Live, and Twitter. For example, the Pictures hub shows photos captured with the device's camera and the user's Faceb |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapping%20of%20Address%20and%20Port | Mapping of Address and Port (MAP) is a proposal that combines A+P port address translation with the tunneling of legacy IPv4 protocol packets over an ISP's internal IPv6 network.
MAP uses the extra bits available in the IPv6 address to contain the extra port range identifier bits of the A+P addressing pair that cannot be encoded directly into the IPv4 address, thus eliminating the need for "port routing" within the carrier network by leveraging the provider's own IPv6 rollout.
In effect, MAP is an (almost) stateless alternative to Carrier-grade NAT and DS-Lite that pushes the IPv4 IP address/port translation function (and therefore the maintenance of NAT state) entirely into the existing customer premises equipment IPv4 NAT implementation, thus avoiding the NAT444 and statefulness problems of carrier-grade NAT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams%20in%20Baku | The Baku tramway network was a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Baku, now the capital city of Azerbaijan, between 1889 and 2004.
History
Early tramways
The first tramway in Baku was a cable powered line, opened in 1887. It was used for passenger traffic and was later named "Chernogorodskaya" (Russian for "Black city" ). On 7 April (19 April) 1889, a horsecar line was opened. The owner of that line took over the Chernogorodskaya line, and converted it to horsecar operation.
Some five months later, on 24 September (6 October) 1889, the horsecar tramway was supplemented by a steam tramway. However, the steam tramway did not last very long. Competition from the horsecar tramway made it unprofitable, and it was closed in about 1894 and transformed into another horsecar tramway.
The Baku horsecar tramway was built to gauge. There were also freight tramways laid between various enterprises around the city.
By the start of the 20th century, the horsecars were already unable to cope with growing volumes of passenger traffic in the oil industry centre of the Russian Empire. In 1903, the City Council received a proposal for the construction of a Baku electric tramway. For the next 20 years, the city bureaucracy created numerous commissions, and developed projects and budgets, until 1922, when the Council began planning the construction of an electric tramway network.
Meanwhile, Baku continued to be served by horsecar trams until the horsecar network was closed on 1 October 1923.
Electric tramway
On 8 February 1924, an electric tramway was opened in Baku. The electric tramway network lasted until January 2004.
In February 2012, the government of Azerbaijan announced that it is planning to restore the tramway in Baku after dismantling it only eight years before. A new tramway line will be laid along the seaside promenade of Baku Boulevard in central Baku as part of the "Baku White City" development project. Unlike the former tramway network, the new tramway network will be considerably shorter in length and it will not serve within the main road networks of Baku as was the case with the former tramway network; but it will instead run along the seaside promenade thus not mixing with the road traffic.
Lines
As of 1972, the electric tramway network's lines (with destinations in Russian) were as follows:
№ 1 – Semashko Hospital — 1st and 5th microdistricts.
№ 2 – Semashko Hospital — Musabekovo.
№ 3 – Baku Passenger railway station — 8th km.
№ 4 – Baku Passenger railway station — Lenin Textile Plant.
№ 5 – Semashko Hospital — Vorovski township.
№ 10 – Baku Passenger railway station — Inglab St.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After%20School%20%28TV%20series%29 | After School was a New Zealand children's television programme that aired weekday afternoons on TV One and, later, Network Two from March 1981 to December 1988. It was produced in-house by TVNZ.
Olly Ohlson was the original presenter and would host links between various segments and programming. He was the first Māori presenter on New Zealand television to anchor a children's show, and the programme was also one of the first New Zealand shows to incorporate Te Reo, the Māori language, as well as Sign language into its scripts.
In the mid-1980s Olly was joined occasionally in the links items by Richard Evans and Annie Roach, who eventually took over the hosting roles, and towards the end of its run the show featured the birth of the puppet alien Thingee and the introduction of Jason Gunn as a presenter.
After School was ended in December 1988 and the following year in February 1989 the mid-afternoon programming block was split up into two separate links shows, After 2, for younger children (which had Jason Gunn and Thingee carrying over as presenters), and 3.45: Live! for the 10-14 age group (initially hosted by Fenella Bathfield and Nigel Hurst).
Background
The concept of After School came from TVNZ's then head of children's programming, Hal Weston, who wished to have more Māori programming on the air. Olly Ohlson was chosen by producer Ian Cumming to be the anchor for the show in order to be a male role model for viewers and because of his knowledge of te reo Māori. After School was made and recorded at the TVNZ Christchurch studios and the opening titles were created with stop motion by award-winning animator Ken Clark.
After 2
After School ended in December 1988 and was replaced in February 1989 by After 2. Jason Gunn and Thingee carried over as presenters of After 2 which was designed for younger children and aired weekdays on Network Two / Channel 2 from around 2.15 – 2.25pm until 3.45: Live!. When 3.45: Live! ended in December 1990, After 2 moved to a 2.30pm start and a 4pm finish from February 1991.
The Breakfast Club
After the initial success of After 2 during 1989, a Saturday morning edition was produced from November that year called The Breakfast Club, hosted by Jason Gunn. Screening at 7am and, later, 6.30am (prior to What Now at 8am) on Saturday mornings until December 1991, The Breakfast Club was a wrapper programme which would mostly air cartoons from the US and Canada including Popples, Groovie Goolies, Bobby's World, My Little Pony, Galtar and the Golden Lance, Denver, the Last Dinosaur, Heathcliff, The Raccoons and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
Cancellation
After three years of both After 2 and The Breakfast Club, TVNZ decided to replace them with Jase TV and The Son of a Gunn Show on weekdays and extend its Saturday morning programme What Now to three hours from February 1992.
Cultural impact
The show was groundbreaking in using Māori and Sign language on the show, and Ohlson's sign-off – "Keep cool till after school" (a phr |

He holds a PhD from the University at Buffalo (2008). He is currently the director of Cyber Security Laboratory in the department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Speed School of Engineering.
Yampolskiy is an author of some 100 publications, including numerous books.
AI safety
Yampolskiy has warned of the possibility of existential risk from advanced artificial intelligence, and has advocated research into "boxing" artificial intelligence. More broadly, Yampolskiy and his collaborator, Michaël Trazzi, have proposed introducing "achilles heels" into potentially dangerous AI, for example by barring an AI from accessing and modifying its own source code. Another proposal is to apply a "security mindset" to AI safety, itemizing potential outcomes in order to better evaluate proposed safety mechanisms.
Intellectology
In 2015, Yampolskiy launched intellectology, a new field of study founded to analyze the forms and limits of intelligence. Yampolskiy considers AI to be a sub-field of this. An example of Yampolskiy's intellectology work is an attempt to determine the relation between various types of minds and the accessible fun space, i.e. the space of non-boring activities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoParty | CryptoParty (Crypto-Party) is a grassroots global endeavour to introduce the basics of practical cryptography such as the Tor anonymity network, I2P, Freenet, key signing parties, disk encryption and virtual private networks to the general public. The project primarily consists of a series of free public workshops.
History
As a successor to the Cypherpunks of the 1990s, CryptoParty was conceived in late August 2012 by the Australian journalist Asher Wolf in a Twitter post following the passing of the Cybercrime Legislation Amendment Bill 2011 and the proposal of a two-year data retention law in that country, the Cybercrime Legislation Amendment Bill 2011. The DIY, self-organizing movement immediately went viral, with a dozen autonomous CryptoParties being organized within hours in cities throughout Australia, the US, the UK, and Germany.
Many more parties were soon organized or held in Chile, The Netherlands, Hawaii, Asia, etc. Tor usage in Australia itself spiked, and CryptoParty London with 130 attendees—some of whom were veterans of the Occupy London movement—had to be moved from London Hackspace to the Google campus in east London's Tech City.
As of mid-October 2012 some 30 CryptoParties have been held globally, some on a continuing basis, and CryptoParties were held on the same day in Reykjavik, Brussels, and Manila.
The first draft of the 442-page CryptoParty Handbook (the hard copy of which is available at cost) was pulled together in three days using the book sprint approach, and was released 2012-10-04 under a CC BY-SA license.
Edward Snowden involvement
In May 2014, Wired reported that Edward Snowden, while employed by Dell as an NSA contractor, organized a local CryptoParty at a small hackerspace in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 11, six months before becoming well known for leaking tens of thousands of secret U.S. government documents. During the CryptoParty, Snowden taught 20 Hawaii residents how to encrypt their hard drives and use the Internet anonymously. The event was filmed by Snowden's then-girlfriend, but the video has never been released online. In a follow-up post to the CryptoParty wiki, Snowden pronounced the event a "huge success."
Media response
CryptoParty has received early messages of support from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and (purportedly) AnonyOps, as well as the NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, WikiLeaks central editor Heather Marsh, and Wired reporter Quinn Norton. Eric Hughes, the author of A Cypherpunk's Manifesto nearly two decades before, delivered the keynote address, Putting the Personal Back in Personal Computers, at the Amsterdam CryptoParty on 2012-09-27. Marcin de Kaminski, founding member of Piratbyrån which in turn founded The Pirate Bay, regards CryptoParty as the most important civic project in cryptography today, and Cory Doctorow has characterized a CryptoParty as being "like a Tupperware party for learning crypto." in December 2014 mentioned "crypto parties" in the wake of the Edwar |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20tallest%20buildings%20in%20the%20Netherlands | This list article contains data about Dutch buildings of at least high – essentially all modern, fairly recent buildings/towers, but also including two old church towers over 100m, the tallest of which (the Dom Tower of Utrecht) was completed in 1382.
The top-ten tallest buildings in the Netherlands all stand in the three biggest cities of the country (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague), with Rotterdam holding the top six tallest buildings in 2022.
After much of Rotterdam was bombed and destroyed in the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, the people of Rotterdam chose to rebuild their city with modernistic architecture, instead of rebuilding in a more traditional style. In 1991, the Delftse Poort office towers, right by Rotterdam Central railway station, became the first Dutch skyscraper complex to breach , and practically ended the debate whether the country had any true skyscrapers at all.
The generally infirm nature of Dutch soil types, with bedrock typically only found at considerable depth, generally makes the foundation engineering of very tall buildings quite challenging, and Delftse Poort remained the country's tallest tower until May 2009. Nevertheless, since it was built, it inspired new towers between 100m and 150m tall to be created in many Dutch cities and towns. In 2022, Rotterdam raised the bar once again by opening the taller Zalmhaven tower.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic%20Car%20Rescue | Classic Car Rescue is a British/Canadian reality television series produced by Blink Films and aired on Channel 5 for six weeks in 2012, as well as on Discovery Networks affiliates in international markets.
Each one-hour episode documents the work of Cockney mechanic Bernie Fineman and his Italian Canadian business partner Mario Pacione, as they purchase "shameful rust bucket" classic cars from scrapheaps, barns, and backyards and restore them to their former, or to new, glories. Having bought the "bargain wrecks," the pair must then source the parts needed to return the cars to the shiny, desirable motors they once were. At the end of each episode, the cars are appraised by an automotive valuer before being given away in a viewer competition. The programme returned with a second series in 2014, running for eight weeks.
Episodes
Series 1
Series 2
Reception
James Ruppert of Autocar wrote a scathing review on the TV series, criticising Fineman as a "big fat bully making a drama out of a manufactured crisis."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20STAIRS | The IBM Storage and Information Retrieval System, better known by the acronym STAIRS, was a program providing storage and online free-text search of text data. STAIRS ran under the OS/360 operating system under the CICS or IMS transaction monitors, and supported IBM 3270 display terminals.
History
STAIRS was introduced as a product in 1973, but had previously been developed in-house by IBM in support of its antitrust lawsuit in 1969. Originally the product was called simply STAIRS but, with the advent of IBM's "/Virtual Storage" operating systems (such as OS/VS1), the non-CMS versions were later renamed to STAIRS/VS.
STAIRS was initially released as an application running under IMS and CICS, but a VM/CMS implementation was developed by IBM Canada in the late 1970s and marketed mostly in Europe, called STAIRS/CMS.
STAIRS was succeeded by IBM SearchManager/370 and SearchManager/2 in 1991, and was discontinued in 1992, with support ceasing in 1994.
Description
STAIRS queries were formulated as boolean expressions of desired terms. In addition to the normal boolean functions of AND, OR, and NOT, STAIRS recognized such modifiers as adjacent to or in the same paragraph as. Plain text documents could also contain so-called formatted fields, which could be used for additional selection. These might contain fixed information such as a date or state name.
A powerful feature was that queries could be saved and re-executed. Queries could also be extended; for example, by specifying the result of previous query five AND an additional search term.
When search results were displayed for the user, 3270 highlighting was used to emphasize occurrences of search terms.
Uses
STAIRS was used in-house by organizations such as large corporations and government agencies with large collections of unstructured documents. It was also bundled by database providers as a subscription service.
Technical details
STAIRS provided good search performance by indexing every word in a document except user-selectable stop words, usually common words such as "and" or "the."
Two levels of index were used, a dictionary containing one occurrence of each word, and an inverted text file storing document identification and position information for each occurrence of each word. The actual document text was stored in a third text file.
STAIRS document databases could only be updated off-line. The data (in the non-CMS implementations) was stored in basic direct access method (BDAM) files, which caused upgrade and portability problems later in its life-cycle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College%20Network%2C%20Inc.%20v.%20Moore%20Educational%20Publishers%2C%20Inc. | College Network, Inc. v. Moore Educational Publishers, Inc., No. 09-50596 (5th Cir. 2010) was an unpublished appellate level case in the Fifth Circuit that upheld a district court jury decision to dismiss the purchase of trademarked keywords as infringing. The original suit was brought on a claim of trademark infringement in the purchase of certain advertising keywords that the defendant countered with claims of defamation and tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations. The main issue addressed in the appeal was the sufficiency of the evidence presented in the counterclaims of the defendant. The court upheld the lower court's ruling, but vacated the award for tortious interference.
Background
The College Network (TCN), founded in 1995 and based in Indianapolis, and Moore Educational Publishers (MEP), founded in Nashville in 1986 by Debra K. Moore, both published and sold study guides to nursing students nationwide. Both companies participated in sponsored-link advertising on the Internet, purchasing their respective competitor's name as a keyword in which their link would appear.
Business statements
The College Network hosted a regional sales meeting in July 2006 to train that region's sales staff on how to close sales on study guides by responding to potential customers' objections. The regional director informed the sales staff that their competitor, iStudySmart (the name under which Moore Educational Publishers does business), was "out of business" or "going out of business." In addition, the regional manager also directed the sales staff to repeat these statements to potential customers. MEP learned of these statements during their own sales meeting in May 2007. In the trial, these statements were referred to as "Business Statements."
Moore statements
A salesperson at The College Network, Shara Wright, resigned October 2006. She was later hired to work for Moore Educational Publishers. After her resignation, most of her family members who also worked at The College Network were fired. Only Glenn Cason, a high ranking College Network employee and Wright's cousin, remained. One of the terminated family members, Joel Cromer, testified that Cason explained that they were let go because of Shara's new job with Moore Educational Publishers and Debra Moore. He went on to say that Moore was a thief and dishonest, and had stolen The College Network's secrets. Moore Educational Publishers and Debra Moore discovered these statements the day before Cromer's deposition for the case in December 2007. In the case these statements were referred to as the "Moore Statements."
District Court case
On July 19, 2007, The College Network sued Moore Educational Publishers in a Texan court for trademark infringement, citing Section 43 of the Lanham Act. TCN claimed that by purchasing the keyword phrase "The College Network" to use as a click-through link which would display their advertisement, MEP was using The Colle |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application%20performance%20engineering | Application performance engineering is a method to develop and test application performance in various settings, including mobile computing, the cloud, and conventional information technology (IT).
Methodology
According to the American National Institute of Standards and Technology, nearly four out of every five dollars spent on the total cost of ownership of an application is directly attributable to finding and fixing issues post-deployment. A full one-third of this cost could be avoided with better software testing.
Application performance engineering attempts to test software before it is published. While practices vary among organizations, the method attempts to emulate the real-world conditions that software in development will confront, including network deployment and access by mobile devices. Techniques include network virtualization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintri | Tintri, Inc. is a division of DataDirect Networks based in Santa Clara, California. Tintri provides products designed for businesses cloud computing, virtual machines (VMs), and containers. The core product line is the VMstore, a storage system and software designed to simplify management in data center and cloud environments.
After becoming a public company in 2017, within a year it ran out of cash and was acquired in bankruptcy.
History
Tintri was founded in 2007 by Kieran Harty, who had led development at VMware as their executive vice president of engineering from 1999 to 2006.
A native of Ireland, Harty had graduate degrees from Trinity College, Dublin and Stanford University.
Its initial objective was solving the mismatch between conventional storage and the demands of applications in virtual machine (VM) environments, which causes complex configuration and management as well as over-provisioning.
Over time, Tintri addressed cloud needs of enterprise customers. Tintri means "lightning" in the Gaelic language.
Early investors included David Cheriton (Harty's Ph.D. adviser) and venture capital from New Enterprise Associates and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The first two rounds raised about $17 million before being disclosed in 2011.
Another round of about $25 million was disclosed in July, 2012, with Menlo Ventures as additional investor.
Pete Sonsini, (son of Silicon Valley attorney Larry Sonsini) was an early board member.
In October 2013, Ken Klein, a Tintri board member and former president of Wind River Systems, became chairman and chief executive. Ian Halifax, also from Wind River, was named chief financial officer in January 2014.
A round of $75 million investment in February 2014 was led by Insight Venture Partners.
In August 2015, a $125 million investment round was led by Silver Lake Kraftwerk joined by previous investors.
In October, 2016, Charles Giancarlo (from Silver Lake) joined the board of directors.
On June 1, 2017, Tintri filed with the SEC for an initial public offering (IPO).
The IPO was delayed and then re-priced below the original range.
On June 30, 2017, its shares began trading on NASDAQ under the symbol TNTR.
In December 2017 it was reported that despite the IPO, the company was looking for a buyer.
In March, 2018, CEO Ken Klein was replaced by Thomas Barton.
On June 22, 2018, after failing to find a buyer and resignation of Barton as CEO, Tintri’s board of directors approved a reduction in force of approximately 200 employees. The company expected to have between 40 and 50 employees left as it ran out of cash.
On July 9, 2018, Tintri was delisted from NASDAQ as a result of failure to satisfy the listing requirements.
On July 10, 2018 Tintri filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. DataDirect Networks (DDN) agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of Tintri.
On September 4, 2018, DDN announced it had acquired Tintri for $60 million.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybuses%20in%20Montreux/Vevey | The Montreux/Vevey trolleybus system (), also known as the Vevey–Villeneuve trolleybus line, forms part of the public transport network in Montreux and Vevey, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. It comprises a single long trolleybus route along the length of the (Vaud Riviera) on the north shore of Lake Geneva.
Opened in 1957, the line is designated as line 201 (prior to 11 December 2010, line 1) of the local bus network, operated by Transports publics Vevey-Montreux-Chillon-Villeneuve (VMCV). In addition to line 201, the VMCV runs eight motorbus lines. However, with 5,204,000 passengers annually, the trolleybus route is by far the busiest of all the operator's lines, and generates 74 percent of its total revenue.
The Vevey–Villeneuve trolleybus line is the last remaining of several interurban trolleybus lines that have existed in Switzerland. It largely follows Swiss main road no. 9, and passes through the municipalities of Vevey, La Tour-de-Peilz, Montreux, Veytaux and Villeneuve, and as of 2019 served a total of 41 stops.
History
The trolleybus line's ultimate predecessor, the Vevey–Montreux–Chillon tramway, opened in 1888, and was Switzerland's first electric tramway. The line was extended to Villeneuve in 1903, and became the Vevey–Montreux–Chillon–Villeneuve tramway in 1913. Plans to replace the tramway with a trolleybus line were first developed in 1938, but in view of the outbreak of World War II, the design work was discontinued.
It was only in 1955 that the construction of the trolleybus catenary was begun. The route went into operation in four sections as follows:
Initially, the trolleybus service ran at a headway of 7.5 minutes, which compared favourably with the eight-minute headway of the trams. From 1966, six passenger trailers were available to augment the trolleybuses' capacity during rush hour.
Conductors were used to collect fares until 1976, an unusually late conversion to one-person operation for a Swiss transport system.
In the second half of the 1990s, the original overhead wires and the depot were fully renewed.
Services
As of the 2010s, the travel time for the Vevey Funiculaire–Villeneuve Gare trip was 38 minutes, and the trip in the opposite direction took 37 minutes.
Nine trolleybus duties were required for the 10-minute clock-face schedule offered all day, allowing for a seven-minute turnaround in Vevey, and eight minutes in Villeneuve. During the Montreux Jazz Festival, which takes place in July, 12 vehicles operate a special, more frequent service. In the evenings, from approximately 8:00 pm, the headway becomes 20 minutes.
Prior to 12 December 2010, the VMCV offered an express bus service between Funiculaire Vevey and Montreux Marché every 20 minutes during peak times on the former line 1. This service stopped at only a few selected intermediate stops. The three extra duties were operated with rigid motorbuses, because only motorbuses could overtake the trolleybuses operating the regular services on |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot%20Farm | Pot Farm (also known as Pot Farm: Grass Roots and Bud Farm: Grass Roots in some markets) is a farming simulation social network game developed by Brain Warp Studios and owned by East Side Games. Gameplay involves planting and harvesting different strains of cannabis and manufacturing cannabis-based food items. Many of the plants, quests and achievements are named after elements of cannabis subculture.
It is available as an Android and iOS app, and was previously available as an application via the social networking website Facebook. On Facebook, the game was restricted to players 21 and older. Although the game could not be advertised online due to its content, it gained popularity through word-of-mouth and guerrilla marketing, and formed one of the world's largest cannabis-culture communities. The game was generally well received by critics and was nominated for Best Social/Casual Game at the Canadian Videogame Awards.
Gameplay
Pot Farm is a game similar to Happy Farm and FarmVille, but with an emphasis on cannabis cultivation. On mobile, the game is free-to-play and requires an internet connection.
The game starts with an empty plot of land, with the objective of turning it into a profitable cannabis farm. Progress in the game is tracked by the player's character level, which is increased by experience gained from tending crops, earning achievements and completing certain quests. The higher a player's level, the more types of seeds they can grow, products they can buy and sell, and upgrades they can make to their farm.
Crops are grown from seeds purchased with coins (the game's primary currency) and sold for a profit. The game's secondary currency, potbucks, are earned by gaining levels, planting rare seeds, and from earning achievements; they can also be bought with real currency through microtransactions. Coins can be used to buy decorations and upgrades as well as seeds; potbucks are used for reducing grow times and purchasing rare seeds and special items.
While most other farming games have a "withering" mechanic which causes untended crops to lose their value, Pot Farm has a "protection level" for its crops. In the Facebook game, if crops are not balanced with guards and other protection-enhancing items, there is a risk of a character called Ranger Dick appearing and confiscating stash and crops. A minigame-like feature called 'Gold Rush Mode' was also available, which has been compared to Bejeweled, in which potbucks could be gambled for a chance to win many more. These aspects are not present in the mobile game, but posting more people around the farm has benefits including quicker grow times, more money from sales, and more experience.
Development and release
Pot Farm was developed Brain Warp Studios, specifically by Josh Nilson and Galan Akin in 2010, and published on April 20, 2010. The success of the app led to the creation of East Side Games in 2011, which the developers founded with Jason Bailey of SuperRewards. They had re |

It is wide used on medical and satellital images. The main methods are min-max differential, min-max predictive and centroid method.
Methods
Min-max differential
In the min-max differential (or MMD), for each position (pixel) selects the highest or the lowest. And then in each image is stored the difference of each of their positions with respect to the value previously selected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian%20Terry%20%28game%20designer%29 | Ian Paul Terry (born 11 February 1966) is an English computer game designer and artist. He was responsible for designing a variety of games from the early ZX Spectrum through to PC. He has co-designed successful games such as Rebelstar and Lords of Chaos, and was the lead designer in the creation of Magic and Mayhem.
Early career
Ian Terry began his career in 1984 when he set up Target Games after he received a royalty cheque from a book publisher, who had just shipped the first print run of a supplementary rule book that he had written just after leaving school.
Ian drew his inspiration at this time from the video movie genre and began to design board games based on popular movies. The first of these came into fruition when he acquired the games rights to John Carpenter’s “Halloween” movie.
Work on Target games was prematurely halted in 1986 when legal and contractual problems with the Maxwell-owned Fleetway Publications forced a standstill with other developments, and a subsequent lack of funding. In an effort to move away from these problems, he sought entry into the emerging computer games market and was introduced to Julian Gollop, a local games programmer. Together, they redirected Target Games, making it a limited company, with efforts concentrated solely on computer games.
Target Games Ltd
In 1987, Target Games was established. In this newly founded company, Ian and Julian Gollop designed Rebelstar and Laser Squad before working on the early design for Lords of Chaos.
Laser Squad formed the basis of what Mythos Games would later develop as UFO: Enemy Unknown (also known as X-Com), which later went on to become an international best-seller and a franchise in its own right.
Ian left Target Games in 1990 to set up Dimension Designs.
Dimension Designs
Established in 1991, Dimension Designs was a small, local co-operative made up of wargames enthusiasts who created scenery and accessories for miniature-based games. Ian Terry was given the opportunity of designing and creating for them a scenery system made entirely out of cards which would prove both economical and flexible for the end user. This formed the basis of what was called the “Microscape” system, which achieved worldwide sales.
During his time at Dimension Designs, Terry learned silicon mould making skills and miniature sculpture techniques, which subsequently enabled him to create master sculptures for various manufacturers on a freelance basis as a result.
Bullfrog Productions
Ian joined Bullfrog Productions in 1993. He acquired the job due to his previous design work, and his first task under this company was to assist in the output of graphics for Theme Park and Syndicate: American Revolt under Peter Molyneux.
During this time, Ian worked with four other artists, and contributed visuals from his own designs for Theme Park, as well as terrain for American Revolt (a Syndicate mission disc). Before leaving Bullfrog, Ian also supplied the initial graphics and animations tha |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join-pattern | Join-patterns provides a way to write concurrent, parallel and distributed computer programs by message passing. Compared to the use of threads and locks, this is a high level programming model using communication constructs model to abstract the complexity of concurrent environment and to allow scalability. Its focus is on the execution of a chord between messages atomically consumed from a group of channels.
This template is based on join-calculus and uses pattern matching. Concretely, this is done by allowing the join definition of several functions and/or channels by matching concurrent call and messages patterns. It is a type of concurrency pattern because it makes easier and more flexible for these entities to communicate and deal with the multi-threaded programming paradigm.
Description
The join-pattern (or a chord in Cω) is like a super pipeline with synchronisation and matching. In fact, this concept is summarise by match and join a set of message available from different message queues, then handles them all simultaneously with one handler. It could be represented by the keywords to specify the first communication that we expected, with the to join/pair other channels and the to run some tasks with the different collected messages. A constructed join pattern typically takes this form:
j.When(a1).And(a2). ... .And(an).Do(d)
More precisely, when a message matches with a chain of linked patterns causes its handler to run (in a new thread if it's in asynchronous context) otherwise the message is queued until one of its patterns is enabled; if there are several matches, an unspecified pattern is selected.
Join-pattern is defined by a set of pi-calculus channels that supports two different operations, sending and receiving, we need two join calculus names to implement it: a channel name for sending (a message), and a function name for receiving a value (a request). The meaning of the join definition is that a call to returns a value that was sent on a channel . Each time functions are concurrently, triggers the return process and synchronizes with other joins.
J ::= //join patterns
| x<y> //message send pattern
| x(y) //function call pattern
| J | JBIS //synchronization
{{quote|From a client’s perspective, a channel just declares a method of the same name and signature. The client posts a message or issues a request by invoking the channel as a method. A continuation method must wait until/unless a single request or message has arrived on each of the channels following the continuation’s When clause. If the continuation gets to run, the arguments of each channel invocation are dequeued (thus consumed) and transferred (atomically) to the continuation’s parameters.}}
In most of cases, the order of synchronous calls is not guaranteed for performance reasons. Finally, during the match the messages available in the queue could be stolen by some intervening thread; indeed, the awakened thread may have to wait again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIDC20 | The VIDC20 was a video display controller chip created as an accompanying chip to the ARM CPU as used in RiscPC computer systems.
A simpler version of the VIDC20, the VIDC1, was used in the earlier Acorn Archimedes computers.
A VIDC20 chip controls both the computer's video and sound.
The data is read from the 64-bit ARM data bus using DMA control and then processed and converted into the necessary analogue signals to drive the video output displays and sound system. The VIDC20 can handle many more display and sound formats than the original VIDC1 chip found in the Archimedes hardware. It can also read data from VRAM if installed in the machine, otherwise it reads from DRAM.
Video
Data from the video buffer is converted and processed, as follows:
Data is serialised by the VIDC20 chip into either 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits per pixel, then passed through a colour look-up palette RAM.
The palette has 256 28-bit-wide registers: 8 red bits, 8 green bits, 8 blue bits and 4 bits for external data. The output is then converted by three 8-bit DACs, one each for red, green and blue colour. Output is then used to drive the display output device with a maximum of 16 million possible colours. The VIDC20 chip can handle any pixel rate up to 110 MHz, with the clock selected from one of three sources, which can then be further divided by a factor between 1 and 8.
It also contains a phase comparator which allows for a single clock to generate all the required frequencies for any display mode.
Sound
Up to eight separate channels of mono sounds are provided by the VIDC20 chip. The chip can work with 1, 2, 4 or 8 stereo channels using time division multiplexing to synthesize left and right outputs. Each channel can be assigned a stereo position (between left to right).
Data from the buffer is converted and processed.
Data from the buffer is read at a programmable rate and passed to an 8-bit/16-bit DAC. The DAC uses the stereo image registers to convert the digital samples to a stereo analogue sample which is sent to the computer's internal amplifier
Cursor
The cursor data controller controls a 32-pixel-wide, and an unlimited number of pixels high, cursor. The pixels can be transparent or can be any three colors picked from the possible 16 million available colors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu%20College%20railway%20station | Hindu College railway station, Chennai is one of the railway stations of the Chennai Central–Arakkonam section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network. Located about 24 km from Chennai Central railway station, the station serves the neighbourhoods of Pattabiram a suburb of Chennai. It has an elevation of 28 m above sea level.
The Hindu College is among the colleges in India to have a railway station very near. The other two are A. M. Jain College (Meenambakkam) and Loyola college (Nungambakkam)
History
The lines at the station were electrified on 29 November 1979, with the electrification of the Chennai Central–Tiruvallur section.
Commuter facilities
Every day, about 11,000 commuters use the station, including close to 4,000 students, 5,000 officegoers and 2,000 other commuters. Commuters cross the railway tracks from the Hindu College side to reach the suburban platform in the station as there is no foot overbridge. However, in 2005, a foot overbridge was sanctioned and the bridge was constructed in 2008. However, the overbridge was planned in such a way that it will connect only the two suburban platforms leaving out the mainline track, forcing the commuters to cross the railway track.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro%20and%20security | A macro in computer science is a rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence (often a sequence of characters) should be mapped to a replacement input sequence (also often a sequence of characters) according to a defined procedure.
A macro is used to define variables or procedures, to allow code reuse, or to design domain-specific languages.
Macros can be separated into several types:
Text substitution macros as in the C language.
Macros in software. In some software, a sequence of instructions can be associated to a keyboard or mouse action. Some software can include a programming language (like VBA in Microsoft Office) allowing the control of software features.
Other types of macros that are not covered in this article.
Macros can be very useful to software users. They simplify regularly used actions (repetitive code for a programmer, or a sequence of actions in a program) so that the productivity of the user is increased. However, many problems exist, they will be tackled subsequently.
Flaws and macros viruses
Text substitution dangers
There are a few dangers in text substitution macros, like C macros.
The C preprocessor is a powerful tool that can bring clarity to the code or on the contrary, obscure it.
Hiding repeated evaluation
If a macro such as the common function max is defined as
#define max(a,b) (((a) > (b)) ? (a) : (b))
then one of a or b will be evaluated twice when it is used, although from perusal of the calling code this may not be obvious. If these entities are constants this is harmless; if they are function calls then the repeated evaluation may consume resources. Worse, if they are functions with side effects, a second evaluation may lead to unexpected results.
Bracketing arguments
Failure to bracket arguments can lead to unexpected results. For example,
#define double(x) 2 * x
is intended to produce twice the argument. But double(x + 1) will produce 2 * x + 1 instead. The solution is to bracket the arguments:
#define double(x) (2 * (x))
VBA-type/Winword macros flaws
These flaws are completely different from the previous ones : the main problem in VBA-type macros is the viruses. Macro viruses are relatively recent, the first one named Concept, was created in June 1995.
The main reason of that is that the high-level languages used to write macro code are powerful and easy to use, considerably increasing the pool of potential virus writers, and the documents containing the macros can be disseminated rapidly and widely by E-mail.
Macro flaws can be spread quickly and become very destructive.
Different types of macros viruses
System macro viruses
System macro means macros that interact with basic operators in a Word document (like often-used functionalities like FileSave, FileSaveAs which are macros). The strength, and yet the weakness of a Word document is that such types of macros can be redefined by users. This allows the user great flexibility, but this also is a flaw that hackers can |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RiverSoft | RiverSoft plc was a publicly limited company listed on the London Stock Exchange, in 2000. It developed and provided network management software for monitoring and managing Internet Protocol networks. The company is now delisted.
History
RiverSoft was founded, in 1997, by Phil Tee after he left Micromuse, a former competing company which was founded in 1987 when Tee was a student known as "The Fresher's Friend".
Riversoft began to flounder in 2001. "Shares in Riversoft, the network management software group, plunged almost 25% on Monday morning as the company warned that "a sudden and severe deterioration" in the completion of orders led to second-quarter sales significantly below expectations. "I have never seen a quarter unravel so quickly. Things went from OK to dire in the space of a week at the end of the quarter. We were at the stage where we had met technical requirements, agreed contracts and drawn up the paperwork only for the deal to be closed down in the finance department," Phil Tee, chairman and chief technology officer, 3 July 2001.(source The Financial Times)
In September 2001, it was announced that RiverSoft would partner with Concord Communications Inc. to provide real-time network and performance management software to Interxion. Concord Communications Inc. was later acquired by CA Technologies in 2005.
In November 2001, the board saw several changes with Carl Symon, former head of IBM in the UK, joining as non-executive chairman, and Tim Murray from AT&T taking the role of chief executive.
In 2002, RiverSoft was bought by rival firm Micromuse for £43m in cash. Micromuse was then acquired by IBM, in 2005, this resulted in Micromuse's network management software becoming part of what is now the IBM Tivoli Framework.
Awards
RiverSoft won Best Software Infrastructure Product and Best Presentation at the Gartner's Winter 2001 Enterprise Vision Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro%20%28Minnesota%29 | Metro (styled as METRO) is a transit network in Minnesota serving the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. It also provides service to some suburban areas. As of 2022 the system consists of two light rail lines (Blue and Green Lines) and five bus rapid transit (BRT) lines (Orange Line, Red Line, A, C, and D Lines) all of which are operated by the local public transit company: Metro Transit. The five lines connect Downtown Minneapolis and St Paul with the Bloomington, Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport, Roseville, Richfield, Burnsville and Brooklyn Center.
Prior to August 17, 2019, service along the entire length of the Green Line operated 24/7, the only one of 22 light rail systems in the United States to do so, but a common practice on some heavy rail lines such as the New York City Subway and PATH. The service gap from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. was replaced by bus service. Metro Transit also provides 24/7 service between the stations serving the Lindbergh and Humphrey terminals of MSP Airport; the remainder of the Blue Line operates from 3:29 a.m. to 1:54 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and 24 hours a day from 3:29 a.m. on Friday morning to 1:54 a.m. on Sunday morning.
In the 1970s, roughly contemporaneous with the construction of Washington D.C.'s Metro system and San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit, the newly formed Metropolitan Council contemplated the creation of a similar mass transit for the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, but the idea was eventually abandoned due to opposition from the Minnesota Legislature. For the next few decades, there were repeated proposals to build light rail along several corridors, particularly the University Avenue corridor between downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul (the present Green Line), but the idea of light rail only gained steam in the late 1990s.
In 1999, the Minnesota Legislature approved funding for the first line (the present Blue Line) along Hiawatha Avenue (initially named the Hiawatha Line) in south Minneapolis, which opened in 2004. In 2011, in anticipation of the opening of the Red Line and Green Line, and in order to help passengers better identify with each of the routes, Metro Transit announced that the system would be rebranded and each line assigned a unique color. The first phase of the Red Line opened in mid-2013, and the first phase of the Green Line (also known as the Central Corridor) in mid-2014. Expansion is planned to upgrade existing transit corridors and to construct new transitways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reply%20girl | A reply girl was a type of female YouTube user who uploaded video responses to popular YouTube videos, at a time when such responses were displayed prominently by the site.
Algorithm
In 2012, YouTube gave significant weight to video responses when suggesting further viewing for any given video, putting them "almost automatically" at the top of the list. Users known as "reply girls" realised that by responding to popular videos, such as those featured on the YouTube home page, their own content could receive a significant audience. By selecting a suggestive thumbnail for the response, often filmed in a push-up bra or low-cut top, posters could encourage viewers to click the image and view the video. Although many users would click the "dislike" button on the videos, this was interpreted by YouTube's algorithm as legitimate engagement, and the videos would be ranked more highly.
Prior to YouTube and social media, companies were promoting their products through the television, radio, or newspaper. The abuse of YouTube's algorithm through the use of "sexually suggestive thumbnails" would allow for the monetization of the reply girl's content. The YouTube algorithm would be utilized by companies to detect which influencer would attract a larger audience.
History and dispute
With YouTube rewarding users for large numbers of video views, reply girls were able to earn significant income by exploiting this aspect of the website. Alejandra Gaitan was thought to be earning around a hundred dollars for each of the "short, rambling [and] usually pointless" videos that she posted, with some of the more popular ones raising close to a thousand. Gaitan's username for her channel was "thereplygirl" and her videos were formatted as Re: [Title of trending video] which would result in her video having priority because the previous YouTube algorithm would suggest videos that were correlated or similar to the previous video watched by the viewer. Megan Lee Heart, whose YouTube channel reached 38,000 subscribers and had over 47 million views at the time, made tens of thousands of dollars, claiming to have made $80,000 on her channel page description. Heart, who uploaded her Pointless Reviews under the username "MeganSpeaks" included thumbnails featuring bright arrows pointing toward her chest. Heart stated she began the series not to attract views, but to mock Gaitan. Like Gaitan, Heart also attracted controversy on YouTube, but stated that Pointless Reviews is "kind of troilling".
In response to Gaitan manipulating the YouTube algorithm, YouTube users uploaded "anti-reply girl" videos in protest of the low quality but high quantity of videos posted by reply girls. Male YouTube users would make a mockery of the reply girls by exposing their chest as well and expressing their distaste towards the content being produced. The revolt was addressing the spamming of the platform along with the fact that videos of content creators who were creating original content were |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignite%20%28microprocessor%29 | Ignite (formerly ShBoom and PSC 1000, stylized as IGNITE) is a two stack, stack machine reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessor architecture. The architecture was originally developed by Russell H. Fish III and Chuck H. Moore, Nanotronics, which was later acquired by Patriot Scientific Corporation. The processor is one of the few commercially produced microprocessors that use a stack-based computing model. Target applications for this unique architecture were mainly embedded devices (due to the processor's low power use) and efficient implementation of virtual stack machines, such as the Java virtual machine or the stack machine underlying the Forth programming language. The product was unsuccessful in the market.
Notable features
Besides its unusual two stack-based architecture, the processor had several other valuable features:
Runs faster than the clock internally
Up to four instructions can be read on each instruction fetch, reducing memory-bandwidth requirements compared to typical 32 BIT RISC machines
This characteristic also allows looping on an instruction group (a micro-loop) without additional instruction fetches from memory
Single cycle (+ memory) sub-routine call
Implicit sub-routine return
Near Native speed Java interpretation with no JIT required, in approximately 20K bytes of code
Low power operation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicanonical%20ensemble | In statistics and physics, multicanonical ensemble (also called multicanonical sampling or flat histogram) is a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling technique that uses the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm to compute integrals where the integrand has a rough landscape with multiple local minima. It samples states according to the inverse of the density of states, which has to be known a priori or be computed using other techniques like the Wang and Landau algorithm. Multicanonical sampling is an important technique for spin systems like the Ising model or spin glasses.
Motivation
In systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, like spin systems, Monte Carlo integration is required. In this integration, importance sampling and in particular the Metropolis algorithm, is a very important technique. However, the Metropolis algorithm samples states according to where beta is the inverse of the temperature. This means that an energy barrier of on the energy spectrum is exponentially difficult to overcome. Systems with multiple local energy minima like the Potts model become hard to sample as the algorithm gets stuck in the system's local minima. This motivates other approaches, namely, other sampling distributions.
Overview
Multicanonical ensemble uses the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm with a sampling distribution given by the inverse of the density of states of the system, contrary to the sampling distribution of the Metropolis algorithm. With this choice, on average, the number of states sampled at each energy is constant, i.e. it is a simulation with a "flat histogram" on energy. This leads to an algorithm for which the energy barriers are no longer difficult to overcome. Another advantage over the Metropolis algorithm is that the sampling is independent of the temperature of the system, which means that one simulation allows the estimation of thermodynamical variables for all temperatures (thus the name "multicanonical": several temperatures). This is a great improvement in the study of first order phase transitions.
The biggest problem in performing a multicanonical ensemble is that the density of states has to be known a priori. One important contribution to multicanonical sampling was the Wang and Landau algorithm, which asymptotically converges to a multicanonical ensemble while calculating the density of states during the convergence.
The multicanonical ensemble is not restricted to physical systems. It can be employed on abstract systems which have a cost function F. By using the density of states with respect to F, the method becomes general for computing higher-dimensional integrals or finding local minima.
Motivation
Consider a system and its phase-space characterized by a configuration in and a "cost" function F from the system's phase-space to a one-dimensional space : , the spectrum of F.
The computation of an average quantity over the phase-space requires the evaluation of an integral:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIDC1 | The VIDC1 was a Video Display Controller chip created as an accompanying chip to the ARM CPU used in Acorn Archimedes computer systems. Its successor, the VIDC20, was later used in RiscPCs.
Video
The VIDC1 offers colour depths of 1, 2, 4 or eight bits per colour, allowing for 2, 4, 16 and 256 colour displays (the VIDC20 can offer up to approximately 16 million colours). A colour lookup table or palette register set of 16 12-bit words was provided, offering a range of 4096 colours for each of the colours in those displays or modes employing up to 16 colours. The 12 bits were split in three 4-bit RGB values, with a 4-bit high speed D/A converter for each of the three primary colours. However, in 256 colour modes, 4 bits of the colour data were hardware derived and could not be adjusted. The net result was 256 colours, covering a range of the 4096 available colours.
Since the device had no horizontal sync interrupt, it was difficult to display additional colours by changing the palette for each scan line, but not impossible, thanks to the 2 MHz IOC timer 1. Many demos managed to display 4096 colours on screen, or in a sense more through dithering.
The timing generator was fully programmable, and could be clocked with an 8 to 24 MHz clock. Resolutions that could be supported were 1024x1024 in monochrome, 640x512 in 16 colors, or 640x256 in 256 colors.
It had also one hardware 32-pixel wide sprite with unlimited height (by default used for the mouse pointer), where each pixel is coded in two bits: value 0 is for transparency, and the three others are freely chosen from the 4096 colour palette.
Acorn also used the VIDC chip in its laser printer interface podule, which featured in its Technical Publishing System solution. The VIDC was used to generate a high-resolution monochrome signal driven by "a gated form of the synchronised laser dot clock", assisted by a proprietary video laser interface chip, VLASER6. In the Technical Publishing System, the podule was "configured specifically to drive a Canon CX/SX print engine directly". Unlike conventional video, each raster line produced by the print engine effectively corresponded to a single video frame having only a single scanline, with vertical synchronisation occurring repeatedly over the course of generating a single page. An A4 page could have a resolution of 2432 dots horizontally, reproduced in 3440 lines vertically, requiring a total of over pixels.
Sound
The VIDC also supported eight-channel stereo logarithmic 8-bit PWM sound.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20FlashSystem | IBM FlashSystem is an IBM Storage enterprise system that stores data on flash memory. Unlike storage systems that use standard solid-state drives, IBM FlashSystem products incorporate custom hardware based on technology from the 2012 IBM acquisition of Texas Memory Systems.
According to Gartner, IBM was the number one all-flash storage array vendor in 2014 selling over 2,100 FlashSystems totaling 62 petabytes (PB) of capacity. The IBM FlashSystem commanded 33% of the total all-flash capacity sold by all vendors for the year.
As of February 12, 2020, the FlashSystem brand has replaced both the Storwize and XIV brands in IBM.
History
Origin
The IBM FlashSystem architecture was originally developed by Texas Memory Systems (TMS) as their RamSan product line. TMS was a small private company founded in 1978 and based in Houston, Texas, that supplied solid-state drive products to the market longer than any other company. The TMS RamSan line of enterprise solid state storage products was first launched in the early 2000s with the RamSan-520, and over seven RamSan technology generations were released through 2012, when TMS was acquired by IBM. As RamSan technology evolved, TMS adapted the systems to different storage media (DRAM, single-level cell flash memory, and multi-level cell flash memory) and external storage area network interfaces (Fibre Channel and InfiniBand), but the core system design principles remained relatively constant: custom hardware with a shared internal network to maximize speed, particularly latency. The last RamSan products available were the RamSan-710, RamSan-810, RamSan-720, and RamSan-820 systems, which were replaced directly with corresponding IBM FlashSystem products in 2013.
Integration into IBM
IBM FlashSystem products were first made generally available on April 11, 2013, in conjunction with the announcement of a US$1 billion investment in flash optimization research and development. At the Flash Ahead event, IBM emphasized the economic "tipping point" that flash had reached versus traditional storage devices for high-performance applications.
On January 16, 2014, IBM announced the FlashSystem 840 product, which was the first FlashSystem designed entirely by IBM post-acquisition of TMS. The key enhancements of the new generation were RAS enhancements, higher capacities, higher performance, new 16 Gbit Fibre Channel and 10 Gbit Fibre Channel over Ethernet interfaces, and a new management GUI. IBM also announced the FlashSystem Enterprise Performance Solution, which added software features and functions to the 840, including real-time compression, replication, and snapshots.
IBM refreshed the product line on February 19, 2015 by announcing the FlashSystem 900 model AE2, a direct replacement for the FlashSystem 840, and the FlashSystem V9000 which combined a FlashSystem 900 model AE2 enclosure with a pair of San Volume Controllers. The V9000 brought software-defined storage into the FlashSystem brand for the fir |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson%27s%20construction | In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression. This algorithm is credited to Ken Thompson.
Regular expressions and nondeterministic finite automata are two representations of formal languages. For instance, text processing utilities use regular expressions to describe advanced search patterns, but NFAs are better suited for execution on a computer. Hence, this algorithm is of practical interest, since it can compile regular expressions into NFAs. From a theoretical point of view, this algorithm is a part of the proof that they both accept exactly the same languages, that is, the regular languages.
An NFA can be made deterministic by the powerset construction and then be minimized to get an optimal automaton corresponding to the given regular expression. However, an NFA may also be interpreted directly.
To decide whether two given regular expressions describe the same language, each can be converted into an equivalent minimal deterministic finite automaton via Thompson's construction, powerset construction, and DFA minimization. If, and only if, the resulting automata agree up to renaming of states, the regular expressions' languages agree.
The algorithm
The algorithm works recursively by splitting an expression into its constituent subexpressions, from which the NFA will be constructed using a set of rules. More precisely, from a regular expression , the obtained automaton with the transition function respects the following properties:
has exactly one initial state , which is not accessible from any other state. That is, for any state and any letter , does not contain .
has exactly one final state , which is not co-accessible from any other state. That is, for any letter , .
Let be the number of concatenation of the regular expression and let be the number of symbols apart from parentheses — that is, , , and . Then, the number of states of is (linear in the size of ).
The number of transitions leaving any state is at most two.
Since an NFA of states and at most transitions from each state can match a string of length in time , a Thompson NFA can do pattern matching in linear time, assuming a fixed-size alphabet.
Rules
The following rules are depicted according to Aho et al. (2007), p. 122. In what follows, N() and N() are the NFA of the subexpressions and , respectively.
The empty-expression ε is converted to
A symbol a of the input alphabet is converted to
The union expression | is converted to
State q goes via ε either to the initial state of N() or N(). Their final states become intermediate states of the whole NFA and merge via two ε-transitions into the final state of the NFA.
The concatenation expression st is converted to
The initial state of N() is the initial |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common%20carotid%20plexus | The carotid plexus is a network of intersecting sympathetic nerves which run parallel to the carotid artery into the head. They branch out from the superior cervical ganglia of the sympathetic chain. The lesser petrosal nerve receives sympathetic innervation from the carotid plexus along with parasympathetics from the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX).
