https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Swan%20Princess%3A%20Christmas | The Swan Princess: Christmas is a 2012 American computer-animated fantasy family film directed by Richard Rich, produced by Crest Animation Productions and Nest Family Entertainment. It is the fourth film in The Swan Princess series, and the first in 14 years. It follows the adventures of Odette and Derek celebrating their first Christmas together. While the three previous films in the series were animated using traditional 2D hand-drawn techniques, The Swan Princess Christmas was the first in the series to be created entirely with 3D CGI animation.
Out of all of the cast members James Arrington is the only one to return from the original film and its sequels, Doug Stone reprises his role as Speed from the sequels and Sean Wright reprises his role of Rothbart from The Swan Princess III: The Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure. The movie is followed by a fifth 3D computer-animated direct-to-DVD entitled The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale released one year later.
Plot
Princess Odette and Prince Derek are on their way to Queen Uberta's castle to celebrate their first Christmas together. Unbeknownst to them, the evil sorcerer Rothbart has returned from the dead as a spirit and enlisted a black cat named Number 9 for help by promising him nine extra lives. Number 9 lures Derek to the cellar of Uberta's castle where he opens a chest with the initial R on it. When Derek leaves, Rothbart emerges from the chest as a ghost. From here, Rothbart starts his plan to destroy the kingdom's Christmas spirit, the only thing more powerful than the Forbidden Arts, as this will give him the power to be revived in bodily form. Rothbart is able to cast minor spells that cause people to fight; he does this to Queen Uberta and Lord Rogers, and later to the villagers until almost the entire village is in disharmony.
Derek and Odette learn of Rothbart's return as a ghostly spirit when wind chimes playing "Far Longer than Forever" make him visible and hold him immobile. They set up chimes all around the castle, but Rothbart eventually re-enlists the help of Bridget (his hag henchwoman from the first film who had turned good) and she helps remove the wind chimes for him.
As part of the Christmas festivities, Uberta and Rogers are staging musical performances, but because of Rothbart's spell they have become aggressive and competitive with each other. Odette, who is staging her own song, invites the children to perform "Christmas is the Reason" which momentarily weakens Rothbart's power over Uberta and Rogers. Odette follows up on this by inviting Uberta and Rogers to give gifts and food to the poor. This time the good will breaks the spell on the whole kingdom, and Rothbart is severely weakened.
Rothbart's last chance to ruin the kingdom's Christmas spirit is to sabotage the royal Christmas tree. He sends Number 9 to steal one of the Christmas lights, and Rothbart casts a dark spell on it that will destroy the tree. Derek learns of this plan thanks to Bridget, who has |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Norsk%20Data | Norsk Data (ND) was a Norwegian manufacturer of minicomputers which operated between 1967 and 1992. The company was established as A/S Nordata – Norsk Data-Elektronikk on 7 July 1967 and took into use the Norsk Data brand in 1975. The company was founded by Lars Monrad-Krohn, Rolf Skår and Per Bjørge, three computer engineers working at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment which had just built the minicomputer SAM 2. ND's first contract was the delivery of a Nord-1 computer to Norcontrol. Initially in competition with Kongsberg, ND started delivering computers to Norwegian institutions. By 1972 the company had developed Sintran operating system, the 32-bit Nord-5 and a time sharing system.
The international break-through came with the 1973 delivery of computers to CERN and the company soon had half their sales abroad. Two years later the database program Sibas (SIBAS is (tm) of SRS that has full rights to the code developed at the Central Institute for Industrial Research by Olli, Salter, Aschim and Hoffmann) had been completely ported and made available, and the following year a 150-terminal system connected via X.21/X.25 based XMSG and a flight simulator backbone for the F-16 were delivered. In 1978 Norsk Data both bought Tandberg and launched its office suite Notis, although Tandberg was sold again in 1980. ND became the first foreign-listed Norwegian company in 1981, which also saw the launch of the 32-bit ND-500. Throughout the 1980s ND acquired a series of domestic and foreign hardware and software companies, many loosely oriented at increased hardware sales. At the peak in 1986 and 1987, Norsk Data had 4,500 employees, 2.5 billion Norwegian krone (NOK) in revenue and was Norway's second-largest company by market capitalization—having increased fifty-fold between 1977 and 1985.
Despite late attempts to develop Ndix, ND never succeeded at entering the Unix market which started to dominate in the late 1980s. The company's share value halved on 19 October 1987 and never recovered. The company went through a series of reorganizations, but the company never succeeded at making money on open systems and the last area with profits was sales to existing Sintran customers. From 1988 the company was gradually split up; parts were sold to foreign competitors while others were spun off as subsidiaries or sold. By 1993 all equity had been lost and the remaining parts of the company sold off or taken over by the creditors. The main parts of company were bought by Telenor.
Establishment
Norsk Data grew out of the development Simulation for Automatic Machinery 2 (SAM 2), a minicomputer developed at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE). The computer was ordered in 1966 for analysis of satellite data at Tromsø Satellite Station (TSS) and was the third computer built by NDRE. The main developers of the system were Rolf Skår, Per Bjørge, Lars Monrad-Krohn and Yngvar Lundh. SAM 2 was the first in Europe and among the first three in th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%20Robidoux | David Robidoux (from Reading, Pennsylvania) is an American score composer. He writes film scores for various sporting films and networks, and primarily composes for NFL Films.
Career
After graduating from Berklee College of Music with degrees in audio engineering and film scoring, Robidoux began working for NFL Films in 1991 as an audio engineer, and began composing alongside music director Tom Hedden, who had joined the company the year before. Their first score, 75 Seasons: The Story of the National Football League, earned them the Emmy Award for Best Musical Score. They would win four more Emmys for 75 Seasons, along with the productions Favre 4ever, Emmitt Smith: Run With History, NFL Century: In Their Own Words and Unitas.
Altogether, Robidoux would win nine Emmys for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition/Direction, and was also nominated for the News and Documentary Award category for his score on Blood From A Stone, about diamonds from The Holocaust. Robidoux has since then gone on to create more than 850 compositions for NFL Films. In 2000, Robidoux worked with vocal group Boyz II Men on the song So Amazing. Four years later, Robidoux worked with music producer/mixer Alan Meyerson to compose Thunder, which became NASCAR's official theme music, the first time the association has had one. The music became used in NASCAR broadcasts starting with the 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season in copyright tags and introductions for international broadcasts. The theme would also be used in EA Sports' NASCAR video games starting with that year's NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup (which uses a rock version of the theme). The following year, a modified version of the music was used in the film Herbie: Fully Loaded (which mixes the “Thunder” theme with the Herbie theme) Also in 2005, Robidoux created The Lombardi Trophy Theme, which became the official theme of the Super Bowl. After the launch of NFL Network, Robidoux worked on the thematic branding of the network, and composed the theme music for Thursday Night Football, and also composed for the NFL's Major League Baseball network counterpart's Thursday Night Baseball. He also composed the score for the EA Sports video games NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup and Madden NFL 08. He is the composer for HBO television series Hard Knocks, with the Kansas City Chiefs edition winning him an Emmy; Robidoux again worked with HBO on the documentary Lombardi. Another television series he worked on is Nicktoons' NFL Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core. In 2007, Robidoux composed the music for America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions. In 2011, Robidoux, coordinated by NFL Senior Vice President of Events Frank Supovitz (who had worked with Robidoux to create a presentation theme for the Lombardi Trophy presentation for Super Bowl XL in 2006), wrote a musical score for NFL Films dubbed by company president Steve Sabol as Echoes of Eternity, which was played at the Pro Football Hall of Fame bust unveilments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORCA%20%28computer%20system%29 | ORCA was a mobile-optimized web application used as a component of the "get out the vote" (GOTV) efforts for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign. It was intended to enable volunteers in polling stations around the country to report which voters had turned out, so that "missing" Republican voters and underperforming precincts could be targeted for last-minute efforts to get voters to the polls. According to Romney himself, it would provide an "unprecedented advantage" to the campaign to "ensure that every last supporter makes it to the polls."
The system had major technical problems during Election Day that prevented many volunteers from using it. It crashed periodically and at one point was intentionally taken down when a surge of traffic from campaign volunteers was misinterpreted as a denial of service attack. Frustrated volunteers reported being unable to access ORCA and criticised a lack of prior briefing, misleading instructions and patchy on-the-day support. A Romney aide commented that "Orca is lying on the beach with a harpoon in it." The system's failings have been attributed by technology writers to a combination of factors including not doing prior quality assurance or beta testing, inadequate documentation and poor design.
The Romney campaign subsequently defended ORCA as a success, though campaign officials admitted that the system "had its challenges". Conservative activists and writers blamed ORCA for depressing Republican turnout on election day. While political scientists have rebutted these claims, suggesting that it probably did not have a decisive effect on the outcome, it may have negatively affected turnout figures. ORCA has been compared unfavorably with a "get out the vote" and data effort from President Obama, including Project Narwhal, seen as more robust.
Intended purpose
In the 2008 US presidential election, the Obama campaign utilized a system called Houdini to enable volunteers to report voting data to a national hotline. While this system encountered problems, the 2012 Romney campaign's ORCA system aimed to go further by enabling volunteers to report such data to campaign headquarters in real time via their smartphones. It was intended to be rolled out to around 37,000 volunteers at polling places in swing states.
Gail Gitcho, the Romney campaign's communications director, told PBS on November 5 that with the deployment of ORCA on election day, the campaign would be able to tell who had voted in which precincts. She described the system's key function as not being to predict the outcome, but to identify low turnouts in target precincts so that the campaign could take action by contacting missing voters and urging them to go to the polls. Gitcho commented: "The Obama campaign likes to brag about their ground operation, but it's nothing compared to this." The name ORCA was chosen to reference the Obama GOTV system, called Project Narwhal; in nature, the orca or killer whale is the only known non-human predat |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FL2%20%28Lazio%20regional%20railways%29 | The FL2 (until 2012 FR2) is a regional rail route forming part of the Lazio regional railways network (), which is operated by Trenitalia, and converges on the city of Rome, Italy.
The route operates over the infrastructure of the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway. Within the territory of the comune of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway. It is estimated that on average about 22,000 passengers travel on an FR2 train each day.
The designation FL2 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations show only the designation "R2".
Route
Tivoli ↔ Roma Tiburtina
The FL2, a radial route, runs from Tivoli, via the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway, to Roma Tiburtina. The route heads initially in a northerly direction, loops around to the west and then the south, before finally turning again to the west, towards central Rome.
History
The FL2, which was known as the FM2 until 2004 and as FR2 until 2012, was established in 1994, along with other suburban rail services, to encourage the use of rail transport in the Rome metropolitan area. Prior to 1994, regional trains along the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway linked Rome only with Abruzzo; following the FM2's introduction, FM2 services ran between Rome and Tivoli, stopping at all stations, with a frequency of one train every 60 minutes.
Since the establishment of the FR2, Tivoli–Rome passenger traffic has increased considerably, partly because this section serves the most populous part of the metropolitan area, and also partly because of vehicular congestion on the Via Tiburtina Valeria and A24. However, further actions by other entities were needed; the single track configuration of the line led to what were often long pauses for the crossing of trains, and this, combined with the proximity of the stations between Lunghezza and Rome, made for a somewhat slow train ride.
Before work began on the Rome–Naples high-speed railway, the urban sections of which would have flanked the tracks of the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway between Roma Prenestina and Salone, it was decided to convert this section from double track to quadruple track as far as Lunghezza, and to build new stations, so as to establish a commuter service in all respects, and implement a clock-face schedule for it. Construction started on the high-speed railway in the late 1990s, and on the FR2 in the early 2000s. From 2002, due to work on the high-speed line, all trains on the FR2 were diverted to Roma Tiburtina until December 2005, when some trains from Pescara were again diverted, this time to Roma Termini. In the course of 2006, the quadruple track section between Roma Prenestina and La Rustica Uir went into service, while in 2007 the quadrupling work was completed to Lunghezza.
The construction work on this section involved the renewal of the tracks, the creation of artificial tunnels close to built-up areas to av |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sattar%20Beheshti | Seyyed Sattar Beheshti () was an Iranian blogger who died under suspicious and unclear circumstances in early November 2012, several days after being arrested by the Iranian Cyber Police unit for criticizing the government of the Islamic Republic on Facebook, and after making a signed complaint of being tortured while in custody. His reported death has drawn international condemnation and led to the dismissal of the commander of Iran's cybercrimes police unit.
Background of blogger
Sattar Beheshti was born in 1977 and lived in Robat Karim, 27 km southwest of Tehran. According to Hamid Dabashi he was "a labourer from a working class family". Opposition websites report that he had been detained in 1999 after student protests at Tehran University.
His website "My Life for My Iran" at magalh91.blogspot.de was not a major blog, and had fewer than 30 viewers in October. But although he "was regarded as a relatively minor figure" among Iran's bloggers, according to the New York Times, Beheshti's death "has provoked outrage among both opponents and supporters of Iran's leaders".
On October 22, 2012, Beheshti posted a criticism of the Islamic Republic on his blog addressed to the Supreme Leader. Beheshti stated that the judicial system of the Islamic Republic was "nothing but a slaughterhouse," and that "the sentences and ... the executions carried out ... were not out of a desire for justice – but were aimed at terrorizing the people so that no one will complain."
In a blog post a day before his arrest, Beheshti wrote: "They threatened me yesterday and said, 'Your mother will soon wear black because you don't shut your big mouth'". Black is worn according to Islamic tradition to commemorate a person who has recently died.
Prior to death of blogger
Prior to death of Mr. Beheshti, President Mahmud Ahmadinejad planned to visit Evin prison on October 7, 2012 but the judiciary officials postponed the visit. on October 20, 2012 Ahmadinejad asked the head of judiciary system Sadeq Amoli-Larijani to facilitate this visit, Larijani rejected the president's request even after Ahmadinejad publicly expressed deep concerns about violation of law and civil rights of prisoners and threatened to fully cut the budget of judiciary system.
Sattar Beheshti died shortly after that on October 30, 2012.
Arrest and death
Beheshti was arrested at his home on October 30 by the Cyberpolice (FATA) for what authorities said were "actions against national security on social networks and Facebook." On October 31 Beheshti "issued an official letter to the head of the prison". The signed, official complaint form was published by the Kalame Web site, stated: "I, Sattar Beheshti, was arrested by FATA and beaten and tortured with multiple blows to my head and body, ... I want to write that if anything happens to me, the police are responsible".
On November 6, authorities "told the blogger's family to collect his body". He reportedly died on November 3.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FL4%20%28Lazio%20regional%20railways%29 | The FL4 (until 2012 FR4) is a regional rail route. It forms part of the network of the Lazio regional railways (), which is operated by Trenitalia, and converges on the city of Rome, Italy.
The route operates over the infrastructure of the Rome–Cassino–Naples, Rome–Albano, Rome–Frascati and Rome–Velletri railways. Within the territory of the comune of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway. It is estimated that on average about 55,000 passengers travel on an FL4 train each day.
The designation FL4 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations on the FL4 route show only the designation "R" and the relevant train number.
Route
Roma Termini ↔ Ciampino ↔ Frascati / Albano Laziale / Velletri
The FL4, a radial route, runs from Roma Termini, on the southern perimeter of Rome's city centre, in a south easterly direction, via the Rome–Cassino–Naples railway, to Ciampino, and then fans out into three branches, to Frascati, Albano Laziale and Velletri, respectively.
History
The first of the three FL4 branches to see the light was the Rome–Frascati railway, opened on 7 July 1858, during the reign of Pius IX. At that time, the Roman terminus was located in Piazza di Porta Maggiore, and Frascati was more rural in nature.
Five years later, Roma Termini station was inaugurated, coinciding with the opening of the line to Velletri (continuing to Caserta and Naples). The line to Albano Laziale was opened in October 1889, on the formation of an earlier tramway from Tiburtina station.
All of these lines were later electrified to improve performance. Given the increase in passenger traffic after World War II, they also started to establish themselves as commuter lines; simultaneously, freight traffic shrank drastically to the point where it disappeared. Signalling was managed by a manual electric block system. (IT)
On 27 January 1992, an accident at Casabianca on the Velletri line killed 6 people and injured 124. As a result, a Central Operational Manager (DCO) (IT) was based in Ciampino to control the Albano Laziale and Velletri lines, while the line to Frascati was similarly managed as far as Ciampino.
With the approach of the Great Jubilee of the year 2000, renovation and upgrading work was begun on the Rome-Velletri line; this work included the transformation of the stops at Pavona and Lanuvio into stations, the creation of the San Gennaro stop, and the renovation of several buildings at the stations. On the Rome-Albano Laziale line, the Villetta stop was restored. In early 2000, the disused track no. 1 at Frascati was closed and disconnected from track no. 2.
Stations
The stations on the FR4 are as follows:
Roma Termini
Capannelle (limit of urban service)
Ciampino
Frascati branch
Frascati
Albano Laziale branch
Acqua Acetosa
Sassone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research%20and%20Development%20Network%20in%20Norway | The Research and Development Network in Norway () or FUNN was fourteen computing centers established in regional districts in Norway established by Norsk Data (ND) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry in 1989. These were located in Ålesund, Alta, Bø, Gjøvik, Grimstad, Kirkenes, Kristiansund, Mo i Rana, Narvik, Sarpsborg, Sogndal, Steinkjer, Stord and Tromsø. Each had two Norsk Data-built minicomputers, one running Sintran III and one running Unix. Participating agencies included the Regional Development Fund, the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, the Norwegian Telecommunications Administration (NTA) and the Royal Norwegian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (NTNF).
The project was launched by ND and Rolf Skår in 1987 as a way to utilize a tax break through investing in regional areas. He received support from Minister Finn Kristensen, although the project met with opposition from other government agencies and the data industry. The go-ahead was given in May 1988 and the centers opened in 1989, with the first on 31 January. The project costs the government 300 million Norwegian krone (NOK), but two government reports found the project to be a failure. The centers were established with too much capacity and were unable to cover their operating costs through securing sufficient projects.
Centers
The fourteen FUNN centers were located in Ålesund, Alta, Bø, Gjøvik, Grimstad, Kirkenes, Kristiansund, Mo i Rana, Narvik, Sarpsborg, Sogndal, Steinkjer, Stord and Tromsø. Each consisted of two Norsk Data minicomputers, one running Sintran III and one running Ndix, a ND-developed variant of Unix. The computers were owned by the company A/S ND-FUNN, based in Mo i Rana and which was wholly owned by Norsk Data. It received share capital from ND in such a way that ND received an identical tax break. The share capital was then used to purchase computers from Norsk Data. The centers were connected to each other. The centers were separate limited companies with various local owners which were responsible for operating the computers and selling the processing capacity to local customers and projects. The centers were not to receive any operating subsidies from the government or Norsk Data. Five years after installation the computers would be handed over free of charge from ND-FUNN to the respective centers. Each center was required to purchase services from Norsk Data for NOK 1.075 million per year, on an irrevocable contract which lasted five years.
History
The initiative to FUNN was taken by Rolf Skår, who was at the time chief executive officer of Norsk Data. On 18 February 1987 he contacted the Ministry of Trade and Industry and proposed that an information superhighway be built throughout the country based on independent computer centers. ND intended to be the driving force, but had support from the NTA and NTNF. Skår's demands were that ND would be allowed to use tax money via the District Tax Act and that these would be |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User%20Data%20Header | User Data Header (UDH) is a binary structure which may be present at the start of a short message in the Short Message Service in GSM. It does not contain any text, but it specifies how the message should be formatted and processed.
UDH can be used to form Concatenated SMS, to enrich the content of the message with colors, text formatting, small pictures and animations and simple music which are used in Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS), to convey port numbers which may cause start of an application in the mobile phone, which is used for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or to indicate using of national language shift tables.
UDH is defined in 3GPP 23.040 (originally GSM 03.40).
Technical Realization
Presence of User Data Header is indicated by the TP-UDHI (Transfer Layer Protocol User Data Header Indicator) bit - 6th bit of the first octet of the GSM 03.40 or 3GPP 23.040 message.
If UDH is present, it is at the beginning of the TP-UD (TP-User Data) field and it always starts with an UDHL (UDH Length) octet. The rest of UDH is a sequence of Tag-Length-Value triplets. The Tag is named Information-Element-Identifier (IEI) and is always 1 octet long, the Length field is always 1 octet long and it specifies the length of the Information Element Data.
UDH uses space intended for the message payload. The longer the UDH, the less space remains for the message text or other contents. When TP-UD contains seven-bit data, the length of TP-UD is given in septets (but UDHL is still in octets, so length in septets is (UDHL + 1) * 8 / 7) and the UDH is filled to a septet boundary with 0-6 zero bits. The next table shows how a TP-UD of a message in the GSM 7 bit default alphabet containing text 'Hi' with a predefined sound 'Chord high' will be encoded:
The total message length TP-UDL will be 8. (UDH has 8 * (1 + 4) = 40 bits, 2 bits is the padding as (40 + 2) / 7 = 6 without remainder, 2 * 7 = 14 bits for text; total TP-UD length is 40 + 2 + 14 = 56 bits = 7 octets = 8 septets.)
UDH Information Elements
Use in Other Protocols
The UDH is used in other protocols for short message transport - Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP), Universal Computer Protocol (UCP) and in WEMT teleservice in CDMA2000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotions%20in%20virtual%20communication | Emotions in virtual communication differ in a variety of ways from those in face-to-face interactions due to the characteristics of computer-mediated communication (CMC). CMC may lack many of the auditory and visual cues normally associated with the emotional aspects of interactions. Research in this area has investigated how and when individuals display and interpret various emotions in virtual settings.
Expression
While text-based communication eliminates audio and visual cues, there are other methods for adding emotion. Emoticons, or emotional icons, can be used to display various types of emotions. Similar to emotional displays in face-to-face communication, it was found that females tend to use more emoticons than their male counterparts. Beyond simply using emoticons, in virtual communication platforms, people tend to capitalize letters or words to add emphasis to speaking.
There are a variety of characteristics of virtual communication that result in an increase in the amount of emotion displayed. The lack of social cues in CMC has been found to have a depersonalizing effect. Additionally, there can be greater anonymity or perceptions of anonymity in virtual communication. This combination of anonymous and social detached communication has been shown to increase the likelihood of flaming, or angry and hostile language as a result of uninhibited behavior.
Furthermore, it has been shown that virtual communication can reduce normative social pressures. As a result of decreased social pressures, individuals may feel more comfortable disclosing either positive or negative affect, which may not be considered appropriate in normal face-to-face interactions. For example, in a large part due to decreased social hierarchies, Gilmore and Warren (2007) found many instances of feelings of intimacy, playfulness, and pride in a virtual teaching environment.
Interpretation
The lack of social and emotional cues over virtual communication platforms can result in increased instances of misinterpreting emotion and intentions. Kruger, Epley, Parker, and Ng (2005) found that individuals overestimate both their ability to clearly relay and interpret emotions via email. They attribute this inability to relay emotions effectively to others over CMC to a combination of egocentrism and a lack of paralinguistic cues including gestures, emphasis, and intonations.
One of the reasons that emails that are intended to be positive may come across as more neutral is that the process of email itself tends to be less stimulating than face-to-face communication. Since many people tend to associate emails with work-related matters, they come to expect less positive affect to be displayed in emails. Furthermore, the emotional ambiguity of email messages may actually lead to them to be interpreted as more negatively than they were intended. Byron (2008) notes that emails from senders higher in status will be more likely be perceived as negative than emails rece |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amok%20%28Atoms%20for%20Peace%20album%29 | Amok is the only album by the supergroup Atoms for Peace, released on February 25, 2013 by XL Recordings. It features the Radiohead singer Thom Yorke (vocals, keyboards, programming and guitars), the Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich (production and programming), the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, the drummer Joey Waronker and the percussionist Mauro Refosco. It combines electronic and live instrumentation.
Yorke formed Atoms for Peace in 2009 to perform songs from his first solo album, The Eraser (2006). After the tour ended, the band spent three days jamming and recording original material in a Los Angeles studio. Yorke and Godrich edited and arranged the recordings over two years, combining them with Yorke's electronic music.
Four Amok singles were released: "Default", "Ingenue", "Judge, Jury and Executioner" and "Before Your Very Eyes", with music videos for "Ingenue" and "Before Your Very Eyes". The album received generally favourable reviews, though some critics found it too similar to Yorke's solo work. It reached the top ten in several countries, including the UK, US, and Japan. It was followed by an international tour.
Background and recording
The songwriter Thom Yorke formed Atoms for Peace in 2009 to perform songs from his first solo album, The Eraser (2006). After the tour ended in 2010, the band spent three days jamming and recording original material in a Los Angeles studio. The members bonded over a shared love of afrobeat, such as the music of Fela Kuti.
Describing his role in the sessions as "conducting", Yorke would show the band electronic music he had created and they would recreate it with live instruments. He said: "The music I do on my laptop is so angular. When you get people to play like that, it's so peculiar ... One of the things we were most excited about was ending up with a record where you weren't quite sure where the human starts and the machine ends." Yorke and the Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich edited and arranged the recordings over two years, combining them with Yorke's electronic music.
Promotion and release
Amok was released on February 25, 2013 by XL Recordings. The first single, "Default", was released as a download on September 10, 2012. "Judge, Jury and Executioner", was released as a download on January 7, 2013 and on vinyl on March 19, 2013. "Before Your Very Eyes" was released as the third single on July 1, 2013. On February 18, 2013, Amok was made available to stream from the Atoms for Peace website.
A music video for "Ingenue" was released via YouTube on February 28, 2013. It was directed by Garth Jennings and choreographed by Wayne McGregor, who both had worked with Yorke on the video for the 2011 Radiohead song "Lotus Flower". On October 17, a video for "Before Your Very Eyes" was released, directed by Andrew Thomas Huang. Amok was followed by a tour of Europe, the US and Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FuncJS | FuncJS is an open-source functions only JavaScript library that aims to speed up web development time in the JavaScript programming language by providing 22 pre-written functions made available throughout both releases. FuncJS is intended to allow JavaScript programmers to get the basic areas completed quickly, and let them focus on more larger, code-centric areas of development. As of November 2012, FuncJS is a relatively new product and is in version one of its stable release.
Functions
In January 2013, FuncJS 2 was released which got rid of many functions, and renamed some functions. However, the new files were uploaded onto GitHub, but it's a temporary action, as according to the repository's README file. Here's the new list, as according to the new documentation:
echo()
function_exists()
strlen()
strpos()
str_replace()
up()
down()
store()
str_rev()
grab()
trim()
count()
strip_tags()
show_tags()
Importing FuncJS to webpages
FuncJS is available in two versions; minified (compressed) and an uncompressed version, both of which are to be used separately from each other. Similar to other JavaScript libraries, FuncJS can be imported onto a webpage by including it via the "script" HTML tag:
<script src="http://funcjs.webege.com/funcJS-min.js"></script>
According to the documentation, users should make sure FuncJS is loaded and working properly on their webpages by checking whether the browser recognises the FuncJS object:
if (window.funcJS) {
alert("I'm working!");
} else {
alert("I'm not working!");
}
Both versions of FuncJS are hosted by FuncJS itself, as demo's suggest that FuncJS is only available through their servers. However, although FuncJS allows users to download a local copy of the file to their own machines, it deeply encourages that users import FuncJS into their webpages through linking it via a URL as "this ensures that you (the user) have any new updates to the file made available to you."
Using FuncJS in webpages
Since function's from FuncJS are seen by the browser as regular functions, they would have to be written within "script" tags and would be checked and executed by the browser's JavaScript engine (such as Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine). As seen by the documentation's, function's from FuncJS are designed to fit into normal JavaScript code, therefore not breaking the "flow" of writing JavaScript code. Take this example (from the documentation website):
if (3 < 4) {
echo("That's correct!");
} else {
echo("What?!!!");
}
which checks a given condition, and displays text depending on the outcome. As seen by the example, the "echo" function can be considered as a part of JavaScript, similar to PHP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbid | Symbid (also known as The Funding Network) is an online funding platform providing access to traditional and alternative finance for small and medium-sized enterprises. Headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Symbid was founded in April 2011 by Dutch entrepreneurs Robin Slakhorst and Korstiaan Zandvliet as one of the first equity crowdfunding platforms worldwide. Since 2017, Symbid operated under the license of Ilfa Group, that bought Symbid early 2019.
History
Early years
In 2007, Symbid's founders Robin Slakhorst and Korstiaan Zandvliet met while studying Entrepreneurship & New Business Venturing M.Sc. at Rotterdam School of Management.
Between 2007 and 2010 Zandvlliet and Slakhorst coordinated a fiscal-legal structure allowing non-accredited investors to invest online in start-ups and small businesses. While a number of crowdfunding platforms began to appear online from 2006 onwards, these were associated with creative projects and rewards or donation-based crowdfunding. Few countries had introduced formal equity crowdfunding legislation at this time. Symbid was founded in April 2011 as one of the first equity crowdfunding platforms worldwide.
Expansion
During 2012 Symbid established itself as one of several platforms in the rapidly expanding European equity crowdfunding industry.
Ownership interests
Symbid had ownership interests in Gambitious Coöperatie U.A. and 12% of Gambitious B.V.—the Dutch divisions of crowd funding and video game publishing company Gambitious Digital Entertainment (now Good Shepherd Entertainment) Symbid sold their ownership in 2014. , it had ownership interest in the online business valuation tool Equidam, and the initiative funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, which operates a tool which enables entrepreneurs to present critical business information to investors in a standardized format, namely Kredietpaspoort, through its parent company, Symbid Corp.
Going public
On December 6, 2013 Symbid, through its parent company Symbid Corp., acquired a public listing in the United States on OTCQB Markets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas%20Interconnector%20Greece%E2%80%93Bulgaria | Gas Interconnector Greece–Bulgaria is a natural gas pipeline from the Greek to the Bulgarian natural gas pipeline network. It became operational on 1 October 2022.
Route
On 14 July 2009, Bulgarian Energy Holding signed an agreement with DEPA and Edison S.p.A. on setting up a company to construct and operate the branch pipeline Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria with a capacity of one billion cubic meters of gas per year. The pipeline will be between Komotini and Stara Zagora in Bulgaria.
The capacity of the pipeline is to be with reverse flow capability. The connecting points are The length of the pipeline is about in Bulgaria and in Greece. The pipe diameter is , with an estimated cost between 200 and 250 million Euro to construct.
Purpose
The project is in line with the joint EU strategy for market-based security of supply, which calls for bidirectional interconnection of national grids and specifically for the creation of a Southern Gas Corridor. Whereas the capacity of the gas interconnector project does not fully satisfy the capacity expected in the Southern Gas Corridor, it achieves diversification of sources of supply of natural gas to Bulgaria and helps the countries in the region get greater access to the global natural gas market; Azerbaijani natural gas has started to pass through the interconnector.
Project development
On 14 July 2009, a Memorandum of understanding was signed between Bulgarian Energy Holding EAD, Edison (Italy) and DEPA, which defines the principles for the development and realization of the project. In January 2011, a joint company "ICGB" AD was registered by the same partners that will construct, own and operate the pipeline. The project took off in 2017. Construction works commenced in early 2020 and were completed in the third quarter of 2022. The interconnector is fully operational since October 1.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeves%20Instrument%20Corporation | Reeves Instrument Corporation (RICO) was a Cold War manufacturer of computer and radar systems for the United States. The corporation was the Project Cyclone laboratory operator for simulation of guided missiles, and RICO developed several Strategic Air Command combination (radar/computer/communications) systems ("Q" systems).
History
Reeves was originally "Hudson American…just a little bit before the end of D-Day" and in 1946 Reeves Sound Laboratory, a division of Reeves-Ely Laboratories (R.E.L.), was researching "advance gunfire control systems and computers; radar and tracking systems; guided missile controls; aircraft control instruments… (Research initiated 1942.)" RICO was awarded the Department of the Navy contract No. N60ori-128 on June 10, 1946, for "development of a guided missile simulator and the operation of a simulation laboratory [for] research and development on guided missile simulation" and "development and construction of a rapid and precise automatic analog computer suitable for detailed simulation of guided missiles". The contract's Task Order III on June 12, 1947, required Reeves provide "a simulation laboratory, the Project Cyclone Laboratory, which was to be operated by the Reeves Analysis and Computer Group." Reeves built the lab's original Reeves Electronic Analog Computers in 1947, and a new computing lab of REACs was contracted under Task Order III in 1949. "The guided missile simulator of Task Order II was completed in early 1949 [with a] satisfactory demonstration in February 1949 of the guided missile simulator solving a three-dimensional guided missile problem".
Early in the Cold War, Reeves developed and tested the [AN/MSQ-2A] Bomb Scoring Central, a variant of the MSQ-2 Close Support Control Set developed by Rome Air Development Center. Bomb Scoring Centrals by RICO were used for Radar Bomb Scoring (RBS), as well as Korean War ground-directed bombing (GDB) controlled by TADPOLE sites. "Reeves Instrument Corporation [was] a wholly owned subsidiary of … Claude Neon, Inc." on April 15, 1955, when the former merged into Dynamics Corporation of America; and on January 20, 1956, the other Reeves division of Neon—Reeves-Ely Laboratories, Inc.--also merged into Dynamics.
In 1958, RICO moved production to its Roosevelt Field plant on East Gate Blvd in Garden City, New York.
In the early 1960s, the Reeves AN/MSQ-35 Bomb Scoring Central was produced for Strategic Air Command RBS and in 1965, the Reeves AN/MSQ-77 Bomb Directing Central was built for Vietnam War GDB. Reeves also produced a 1967 transportable variant of the vacuum tube AN/MSQ-77, and one of the AN/TSQ-81 variants was destroyed after the Battle of Lima Site 85 in Laos. By the end of the war the vacuum-tube Reeves AN/TSQ-96 Bomb Directing Central with a solid state Univac 1219B ballistic computer was being used for GDB.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%20GB%20limit | The 2 GB limit refers to a physical memory barrier for a process running on a 32-bit operating system, which can only use a maximum of 2 GB of memory. The problem mainly affects 32-bit versions of operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Linux, although some variants of the latter can overcome this barrier. It is also found in servers like FTP servers or embedded systems like Xbox. The use of Physical Address Extension (PAE) can overcome this barrier by extending the addresses used to represent mappings between virtual and physical memory.
The limit is created by the 32-bit integer limit (2,147,483,647), which is the largest possible integer that can be represented by 32 binary digits. In a computer with a 32-bit architecture, the memory address stored in one of the CPU registers will be limited to this number, thus the number of possible memory locations that can be addressed is limited to exactly 2 gibibytes, or roughly 2GB.
While Linux, FreeBSD, and most Unix-like operating systems support PAE so long as the hardware does, Windows needs this boot option enabled manually. This is known as 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT), or the /3GB switch. Once enabled, executables can have the "large address aware" flag set to increase their memory limit to 3 GB. 32-bit processes on 64-bit Windows are also limited to 2 GB. However, they can use the "large address aware" flag as well, except that it doesn't require the /3GB switch and increases the limit to 4 GB.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast%20%28Australian%20TV%20program%29 | Breakfast was an Australian breakfast television program which aired live on Network Ten on weekdays, as well as a weekly highlights program on Saturday at 11:00am. It had a format consisting of news, sport and weather updates every half-hour from 6:00am to 8:00am with a mixture of debate, current affairs and regular segments in between. The show originally ran from 6:00am–9:00am on weekdays preceding The Circle before being shortened to a two-and-a-half-hour show, as part of the Mornings on Ten lineup. The presenting line-up consisted of Paul Henry and Kathryn Robinson, along with broadcast meteorologist Magdalena Roze who presented weather updates, while News & Sport updates were presented by various Network Ten journalists. Before being made redundant at Ten, Deborah Knight participated in Breakfast's audition.
The show differed from other breakfast shows by being mostly unscripted, replacing Ten's previous line-up of Ten Early News and children's programming including Toasted TV, Totally Wild, Scope and Wurrawhy. This was Network Ten's second foray into the breakfast television market, with the network airing Australia's first breakfast program, Good Morning Australia, from 1981 to 1992.
Although the show was originally planned for a 27 February 2012 starting date, due to the political crisis Breakfast began on 23 February 2012. During the 2012 Summer Olympics, and following the axing of The Circle, Breakfast adjusted its format. On 12 November 2012, it was announced that Breakfast would broadcast its 202nd and final show, on 30 November 2012.
History
It was announced on 17 August 2011. that Network Ten would launch a new breakfast program to take on Today and Sunrise, which take in $100 million in advertising revenue a year, compared to Ten's current $3 million. It was also announced that the program would be modelled around Ten's current affairs/comedy program The Project with Andrew Rochford as one of the presenters. In the months to follow, it was announced that the other presenters would include Paul Henry, Kathryn Robinson, Magdalena Roze and Reuben Mourad.
It was initially speculated that Breakfast would launch on 16 January 2012, the date that The Circle debuted in the 9am timeslot, however that date was later pushed back to March 2012 due to the fact that a third co-host was at the time yet to be found. The launch date was then set to be 27 February 2012, two weeks after the ratings season began. However, on 22 February 2012, Network Ten announced the show would launch early on Thursday 23 February 2012 due to a political crisis. Breakfast'''s first broadcast was extended until around 10:20am. Paul Henry opened the first Breakfast with these words: "It is Thursday the 23rd February and it is game on". He was referring to the leadership showdown dominating the headlines at the time, as well as Ten's ambitious move to enter into the crowded Breakfast TV market.
On 15 August 2012, Ten announced the following Saturday it would launc |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%20Narwhal | Project Narwhal is the name of a computer program used by the 2012 campaign by Barack Obama. It was contrasted in the Mitt Romney presidential campaign by Project Orca, so named because the orca is one of the few predators of the narwhal.
Development
Project Narwhal was developed for six-to-seven days a week and 14 hours a day by a staff of very-experienced workers of companies such as Twitter, Google, Facebook, Craigslist, Quora, Orbitz, and Threadless. The intent of the program was to link previously separate repositories of information, enabling all the data gathered about each individual voter was available to all arms of the campaign. In testing Narwhal, the team, in campaign CTO Harper Reed's words, role-played "every possible disaster situation," including three role-plays where all the systems would go down very quickly on election day. These "game day" practices would prepare them for actual disasters when Amazon Web Services went down on October 21, 2012, and Hurricane Sandy threatened the technology infrastructure in the Eastern United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria%20Petrou | Maria Petrou FREng (; 17 May 1953 – 15 October 2012) was a Greek-born British scientist who specialised in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine vision. She developed a number of novel image recognition techniques, taught at Surrey University and Imperial College London, and was a prolific author of scientific articles.
Early life and education
Petrou was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1953, and displayed an aptitude for science from an early age. She began tutoring children in maths and science at the age of 15. She studied physics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, before travelling to the United Kingdom to study mathematics and astronomy at the University of Cambridge. In 1983, Petrou began working as a postdoctoral research assistant at Oxford University's Department of Theoretical Physics.
Artificial intelligence research
As British academia gained a more practical focus in the 1980s, Petrou began to study machine vision and other aspects of robotic intelligence. In 1988, she started work at the University of Surrey's Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, becoming its Professor of Image Analysis in 1998. She later held the Chair of Signal Processing at Imperial College London, and was the Director of the Informatics and Telematics Institute at Greece's Centre for Research and Technology (CERTH) from 2009 until her death. Petrou was furthermore elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, authored several books, and was a prolific contributor to scientific journals.
During her career, Petrou developed a number of important image recognition techniques, including methods for robotic texture analysis, image comparison and 3D measurement. Most notably, she and Dr Alexander Kadyrov co-invented the trace transform, a method of image representation that allows for more efficient facial recognition systems. Technologies based on Petrou's work have had numerous applications in commerce, medicine and environmental imaging. She was also an amateur cartoonist, and once challenged her colleagues to construct a robot capable of ironing clothes – a challenge that later developed into a European Union-funded robotics project.
Personal life
Petrou married Phil L. Palmer, a British astronomer, with whom she had one son before divorcing. She died of cancer in October 2012, aged 59.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial%20kernel | In machine learning, the polynomial kernel is a kernel function commonly used with support vector machines (SVMs) and other kernelized models, that represents the similarity of vectors (training samples) in a feature space over polynomials of the original variables, allowing learning of non-linear models.
Intuitively, the polynomial kernel looks not only at the given features of input samples to determine their similarity, but also combinations of these. In the context of regression analysis, such combinations are known as interaction features. The (implicit) feature space of a polynomial kernel is equivalent to that of polynomial regression, but without the combinatorial blowup in the number of parameters to be learned. When the input features are binary-valued (booleans), then the features correspond to logical conjunctions of input features.
Definition
For degree- polynomials, the polynomial kernel is defined as
where and are vectors of size in the input space, i.e. vectors of features computed from training or test samples and is a free parameter trading off the influence of higher-order versus lower-order terms in the polynomial. When , the kernel is called homogeneous. (A further generalized polykernel divides by a user-specified scalar parameter .)
As a kernel, corresponds to an inner product in a feature space based on some mapping :
The nature of can be seen from an example. Let , so we get the special case of the quadratic kernel. After using the multinomial theorem (twice—the outermost application is the binomial theorem) and regrouping,
From this it follows that the feature map is given by:
generalizing for ,
where , and applying the multinomial theorem:
The last summation has elements, so that:
where ,
Practical use
Although the RBF kernel is more popular in SVM classification than the polynomial kernel, the latter is quite popular in natural language processing (NLP).
The most common degree is (quadratic), since larger degrees tend to overfit on NLP problems.
Various ways of computing the polynomial kernel (both exact and approximate) have been devised as alternatives to the usual non-linear SVM training algorithms, including:
full expansion of the kernel prior to training/testing with a linear SVM, i.e. full computation of the mapping as in polynomial regression;
basket mining (using a variant of the apriori algorithm) for the most commonly occurring feature conjunctions in a training set to produce an approximate expansion;
inverted indexing of support vectors.
One problem with the polynomial kernel is that it may suffer from numerical instability: when , tends to zero with increasing , whereas when , tends to infinity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%20in%20Europe%20Is%20Carmen%20Sandiego%3F | Where in Europe Is Carmen Sandiego? is a 1988 European geography-based educational computer game in the Carmen Sandiego detective mystery franchise. It was originally published by Broderbund in 1988 for Apple II, Commodore 64, and DOS, and ported to the Amiga and Macintosh in 1989. It is the third Carmen Sandiego title, after Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1985) and Where in the USA Is Carmen Sandiego? (1986). Under the guidance of The Acme Agency's chief, the player completes cases to catch Carmen's henchmen; they accomplish this by traveling to European cities to find clues relating to the crook's last known whereabouts, and by gaining enough character data to issue a warrant of arrest. Once the player has captured all 15 thieves, they can pursue Carmen herself.
Critics noted that the game followed the design of its Carmen Sandiego predecessors, and gave it generally favourable reviews.
Development
The game intended to improve players' skills in map-reading, research, and problem solving. It was developed and published by Broderbund, Inc., and released on the Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Apple II, Macintosh, and IBM PC.; special editions of the program were made for use in classrooms. The Apple II version was released on a double-sided -inch disk, while the IBM version was available in either a or format. The disks were written using Apple ProDOS.
The third in the series after Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1985) and Where in the USA Is Carmen Sandiego? (1986), it would be was followed by state-specific video game Where in North Dakota Is Carmen Sandiego? in February 1989 and Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? in August of that year.
Plot
Similar to the previous games in the series, Europe focuses on notorious master thief and leader of V.I.L.E crime syndicate Carmen Sandiego, whose band of crooks successfully stole a series of items after Sandiego broke out of a maximum security prison. While World and Time saw the crooks take worldwide and historical items, respectively, this game sees them take famous European items. As with other entries in the series, stolen items are not always physical and feasible; for instance one thief steals the geysers of Iceland. Some are even fictitious, such as James Bond's Aston Martin being stolen from the United Kingdom. The player's detective agency, The Acme Agency, has joined forces with Interpol, and has been tasked by the Chief to track down Carmen's crooks and stop Carmen. The player achieves this by traveling to locations, collecting clues, creating arrest warrants, and finally tracking down and arresting the criminals, thereby retrieving the stolen items. The Chief will introduce the stolen object at the beginning of each case, and sends the player off to the thief's last known whereabouts. 16 cases are included, and 34 countries ranging from east (USSR) to west (Iceland) Europe are featured. Starting as a gumshoe, players advance in rank within the Bureau as they succeed in ca |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20definition%20specification | In computing, a data definition specification (DDS) is a guideline to ensure comprehensive and consistent data definition. It represents the attributes required to quantify data definition. A comprehensive data definition specification encompasses enterprise data, the hierarchy of data management, prescribed guidance enforcement and criteria to determine compliance.
Overview
A data definition specification may be developed for any organization or specialized field, improving the quality of its products through consistency and transparency. It eliminates redundancy (since all contributing areas are referencing the same specification) and provides standardization, making it easier and more efficient to create, modify, verify, analyze and share information across the enterprise.
To understand how a data definition specification works in an enterprise, we must look at the elements of a DDS. Writing data definitions, defining business terms (or rules) in the context of a particular environment, provides structure for an organization's data architecture. In developing these definitions, the words used must be traceable to clearly defined data.
A data definition specification may be used in the following activities:
Business intelligence
Business process modeling
Business rules management
Data analysis and modeling
Information architecture
Metadata modeling
Report generation
Criteria
A data definition specification requires data definitions to be:
Atomic – singular, describing only one concept. Commonly used and ambiguous terms should be defined. While a term refers to one concept, several words may be used in a term:
File – A concept identifiable with one word
File extension – A concept identifiable with more than one word
Traceable – Mapped to a specific data element. In business, a term may be traced to an entity (for example, a customer) or an attribute (such as a customer's name). A term may be a value in a data set (such as gender), or designate the data set itself. Traceability indicates relationships in the data hierarchy.
Consistent - Used in a standard syntax; if used in a specific context, the context is noted
Accurate - Precise, correct and unambiguous, stating what the term is and is not
Clear - Readily understood by the reader
Complete - With the term, its description and contextual references
Concise - To avoid circular references
Applications
Enterprise data
A data definition specification was produced by the Open Mobile Alliance to document charging data. The document, the centralized catalog of data elements defined for interfaces, specifies the mapping of these data elements to protocol fields in the interfaces. Created for the exchange of financial data, Market Data Definition Language (MDDL) is an XML specification designed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Burgeson | John W. Burgeson (19 August 1931 – 12 September 2016) was an IBM engineer who created the first computer baseball simulation game in 1961 on an IBM 1620 Computer in Akron, Ohio. Burgeson's invention was accepted and officially recognized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame in contribution.
A baseball fan and long-time member of SABR, Burgeson initially wrote the program on his own time for enjoyment. He shared the program with the company, and they included it as part of the IBM 1620 program library, for which it was the only game. The game was run by placing a deck of punch cards into a card reader, which in turn read them into the computer's memory. Users would pick a lineup from a roster of 50 players, the computer would pick its lineup from the remaining list and the simulation game was then played to completion based on the statistical probabilities for each batter and pitcher.
In 1961, a radio DJ at KDKA in Pittsburgh, Rege Cordic, read three of Burgeson's printed play-by-play game results on the air in a re-creation of the fictional games.
On September 12, 2016, at the age of 85, John W. Burgeson died. He is survived by his wife, eight children, twelve grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung%20Ativ | Samsung Ativ (stylized as ATIV) is a discontinued series of Microsoft Windows-based personal computers and mobile computing devices produced by Samsung Electronics, marketed from 2012 to 2016. The word Ativ is the word vita, meaning "life", written backwards.
The brand was originally used for Samsung's Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8-based tablets and smartphones, including one device running Windows RT. In April 2013, Samsung announced that it would extend the brand to all of its future PC products (including conventional laptops and desktop computers, such as its newly introduced Ativ Book 5 and Ativ Book 6), and re-branded some of its existing product lines and models under the Ativ name, including "Ativ Book" (for laptops), and "Ativ One" (for all-in-one computers).
Ativ was the result of the unification of its Windows-based Samsung Series computers and Samsung Omnia mobiles. However after lacklustre performance, the Ativ brand was scrapped in South Korea in 2014 with new computers branded Samsung Notebook. In overseas markets, Ativ continued until January 2016 when Samsung released the Galaxy TabPro S, its first Windows 10 device under the Galaxy brand, which had traditionally been reserved only for Samsung devices running the rival Android operating system. Afterwards, the Galaxy Book line was formed.

Computer-related introductions in 2012 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITT%202020 | The ITT 2020 was an Apple II computer clone manufactured by ITT under license from Apple Computer (the first licensed clone), specifically for the European market.
In the Benelux, it was distributed by International Bell Telephone Company. It was distributed in the United Kingdom by Microsense Computer Limited.
The major difference, and the reason ITT believed this personal computer would be a success, was that the color video signal conformed to the European PAL standard, rather than the American NTSC standard. This meant color graphics could be viewed using a standard European monitor or TV set, rather than having to import an NTSC monitor from America or Japan as was the case for the Apple II.
ITT sold this computer for a few years, starting in 1979. When Apple Computer started shipping the Apple II Europlus, ITT withdrew from the market, although the Europlus did not support color.
ITT also supplied a 113.75 kB single-sided floppy disk drive that was identical to the Apple II disk drive, supporting 13 sectors under DOS 3.2 on a floppy disk. They never supplied the upgraded 140 kB single-sided double density drive supporting 16 sectors under DOS 3.3.

The ITT 2020 used a higher clock frequency, necessary for the PAL signal. A crystal was used (Four times the PAL subcarrier frequency of ), whereas the Apple II used a crystal- four times the NTSC subcarrier frequency of . In the ITT 2020, the crystal frequency was divided by 17 to give the microprocessor a clock frequency of . In the Apple II, the frequency was divided by 14 to give a microprocessor clock frequency of .
The slots in the back of the casing were smaller, making it extremely difficult to install some expansion cards.
On later versions of the ITT2020, the reset switch only worked in combination with the Control key. This was done to avoid the many accidental resets earlier (and Apple II) users complained about.
The 4th annunciator output was not supported. The I/O addresses ( and ) Apple used for this output were used by ITT to bank-switch the extra RAM chip.
The third button on the game connector was not supported, as ITT used the I/O address of this input () to read the extra RAM.
The bug in the routine in the Apple II that required users to a patch, was resolved in the ITT 2020.
Some users reported a bug in the routine, causing strange shapes to appear under certain circumstances.
The DOS ITT supplied with the 2020 was Apple DOS 3.2. However, a catalog listing showed Basic programs as type 'P' (for PALSoft) rather than type 'A' (for Applesoft)
Consequences
Any Apple II program using graphics had problems on the ITT 2020. Only programs written specifically for the ITT 2020 could make proper use of the Hi-res graphics, with horizontal co-ordinates of up to 359, rather than the 279 maximum of the Apple II

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn%20EMI%20Liberator | The Thorn EMI Liberator was a laptop word processor, produced in the United Kingdom by Thorn EMI Datatech, then in Feltham Middlesex, primarily intended for use by UK Government civil servants. Released in 1985, it is considered to be the first mass-produced British laptop. Thorn EMI Datatech simultaneously held the contracts for the repair of the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81.
History
The design of the Liberator was instigated in 1983 by the UK Government's Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA). It was envisaged as a portable device to allow civil servants to write and print their own reports, rather than using the services of typists. The CCTA initially contacted Dragon Data to develop the product, but the company went into administration shortly afterwards, and the engineering team were taken on by Thorn EMI to continue the project in 1984.
The team consisted of five former Dragon Data employees.
Derek Williams headed up the business side of the endeavour, working closely with the CCTA and Thorn EMI senior management.
John Peacock managed the finances, vendors, and component suppliers.
Jan Wojna designed the hardware and packaging of the electronics into the custom designed case.
Duncan Smeed wrote the low level system software and worked closely with Digital Research on the operating system implementation.
John Linney created the embedded word processor and terminal emulation applications.
The Liberator entered limited production in early 1985 and was officially launched in September of that year, with PR from Aspect Public Relations. The journalist launch was the first promotional event held in the Cabinet War Rooms.
Despite plans for improved Liberator Mk1A and Mk2 variants, production of the Liberator ended in September 1986.
Description
The Liberator was based on a Zilog Z80A microprocessor and a Gate array implementing the screen controller, keyboard interface and other I/O logic. The LCD display had a resolution of 480 x 128 pixels, or 80 columns by 16 lines of text. Interfaces comprised two S5/8 serial ports and two expansion buses, one specifically for extra RAM. Two battery packs were available, a NiCad rechargeable pack giving 12 hours operation, or one holding four AA cells giving 16 hours. The Liberator had 40 kB of internal RAM as standard, plus an optional 24 kB which could be write-protected by means of an external switch and had its own button cell battery to provide non-volatile storage. Another 24 kB of non-volatile RAM could be plugged into the external RAM expansion bus.
The Liberator's custom wordprocessing software ran under the CP/M operating system.
The external dimensions of the Liberator were 295 x 252 x 35mm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperg%20station | Asperg station is a station on the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, located at the 17.6 kilometre mark of the Franconia Railway.
History
Between 1846 and 1848 the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen) gradually opened the Northern Railway from the south in order to connect Stuttgart and Heilbronn. On 11 October 1847, regular operation began on the section between Ludwigsburg and Bietigheim. Asperg station was opened as the only stop for the time being on this approximately nine and a half kilometre long stretch. It was equipped with a small two-storey entrance building . It was about a kilometre east of the village. The road leading to the station initially remained unpaved and was barely passable in bad weather. In 1852 the railway from Stuttgart to Bietigheim was duplicated.
Gradually Asperg grew towards the station. New residential and commercial buildings were built along Bahnhofstrasse (station street). The station building was raised by one-story on the south side. In 1875, the number of inhabitants had increased to over 2,000 and the town regained its municipal independence, which it had lost in the 18th century.
Proposal for Asperg to become a railway junction
In 1896, the Markgröningen city council asked the State Railways for the first time to construct a branch line from Asperg to Markgröningen. The Asperg municipal council was involved extensively with this new opportunity for the city in 1899. The number of factories that had been established by that time was not enough to generate the level of prosperity expected. A new branch line that passed south of Asperg would support a new industrial park, connected with sidings, and provide an incentive for the establishment of large companies. The councilors praised the good neighbourly relations between the citizens of the two towns and gave their support to the municipality of Markgröningen. This was followed by a petition to the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was then responsible for policy on the matter, as well as another petition to the Second Chamber of the Württemberg parliament . The two petitions failed to produce the desired result, since the project was still in competition with a proposal for a branch line starting in Ludwigsburg, eventually leading to the construction of the Ludwigsburg–Markgröningen railway.
Upgrading
In 1907, the State Railway Board reported the first congestion at the station. It was decided to build new railway tracks and freight handling facilities along with a new, larger station building. The new work began in 1912.
The new building was very generous. The entrance to the main building is framed by columns. Travelers passed through this to the then newly built underpass to platforms 3 and 4. Left of the entrance were the main hall for ticketing and express freight and baggage-handling behind a small waiting room. The post office, which had been |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier%20DO-960 | The Dornier DO-960 was a hybrid computer designed for the Dornier Do 31 experimental VTOL aircraft.
The hybrid approach was necessary because the computations for controlling VTOL were not feasible with digital computers available at that time. Vertical take-off requires solving complex differential equations in real-time. The DO-960 incorporates both digital computer and analog computer elements. The analog units are fit for solving computationally challenging differential equations, while the digital units are responsible for controlling the overall program flow.
Although known primarily for aircraft, Dornier had been building analog and hybrid computers as soon as it started engineering vertical takeoff aircraft. The Dornier DO-960 was the last known hybrid computer of this series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information-centric%20networking | Information-centric networking (ICN) is an approach to evolve the Internet infrastructure away from a host-centric paradigm, based on perpetual connectivity and the end-to-end principle, to a network architecture in which the focal point is identified information (or content or data). Some of the application areas of ICN are in web applications, multimedia streaming, the Internet of Things, Wireless Sensor Networks and Vehicular networks and emerging applications such as social networks, Industrial IoTs.
In this paradigm, connectivity may well be intermittent, end-host and in-network storage can be capitalized upon transparently, as bits in the network and on data storage devices have exactly the same value, mobility and multi access are the norm and anycast, multicast, and broadcast are natively supported. Data becomes independent from location, application, storage, and means of transportation, enabling in-network caching and replication. The expected benefits are improved efficiency, better scalability with respect to information/bandwidth demand and better robustness in challenging communication scenarios. In information-centric networking the cache is a network level solution, and it has rapidly changing cache states, higher request arrival rates and smaller cache sizes. In particular, information-centric networking caching policies should be fast and lightweight.
IRTF Working Group
The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) is sponsoring a research group on Information-Centric Networking Research, which serves as a forum for the exchange and analysis of ICN research ideas and proposals. Current and future work items and outputs are managed on the ICNRG wiki.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine%20Hunter%20%28filmmaker%29 | Catherine Hunter is an Australian filmmaker, journalist, television producer and director.
Hunter joined the Nine Network's Sunday program in 1985. After two decades of producing documentary-length cover stories on the arts, she left the program in 2006 to work as a freelance documentary maker, specialising in films about Australian artists. Most of her independent films have been broadcast on ABC TV.
In addition to her broadcast documentaries, Hunter has contributed commissioned films for the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the National Portrait Gallery in conjunction with exhibitions of Australian and international artists, including Anselm Kiefer. In 2006 she received a Commendation in the Walkley Awards for Journalism for her profile on architect Peter Stutchbury and in the same year won the Australian Institute of Architects prize for architectural journalism.
In 2009 Hunter’s documentary on Sidney Nolan examined the influences of his relationships with the three women who shaped his life.
Hunter visited Jeffrey Smart at his farmhouse in Tuscany while filming her documentary on the great Australian painter, and he takes the film crew to some of the places near Arezzo that have long inspired him, the concrete streetscapes and urban wastelands that define his vision.
Hunter’s method is to spend time filming with her subjects at times of great personal and professional significance, often over a period of many years. In 2010 she returned to the subject of an earlier film, Margaret Olley, following the artist as she completed her last works, painted in the 18 months leading up to her death on 26 July 2011. In early 2012 Hunter was with artist Jenny Sages as she dealt with the death of her husband Jack and produced the grieving self-portrait that would cause such a sensation at the Archibald Prize.
Australia’s greatest living architect, Glenn Murcutt, allowed Hunter to follow him for nearly a decade as he undertook a rare public commission, a mosque for the Newport Islamic community in Melbourne – a strikingly contemporary building without minarets and domes, designed to be physically and psychologically inclusive. Hunter documents the growing acceptance of the design, weaving into the narrative the stories of his famous domestic commissions, interviews with those involved, and an intimate biography of his life. The Australian newspaper described Hunter’s film as “beguiling and beautifully balanced.”
Australian artist Ben Quilty gave Hunter unprecedented access to his intimate process over more than a decade, exploring the journey that led him to the battlefields of Afghanistan as Australia’s official war artist. Hunter followed the artist as he completed one of his most challenging art works, an exploration of the Myall Creek massacre. In October 2019 the film screened to sold out sessions at the Brisbane International Film Festival. The film has been lauded by critics with one reviewer noting that “director Catherine Hunter creat |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic%20process%20rare%20event%20sampling | Stochastic-process rare event sampling (SPRES) is a rare-event sampling method in computer simulation, designed specifically for non-equilibrium calculations, including those for which the rare-event rates are time-dependent (non-stationary process). To treat systems in which there is time dependence in the dynamics, due either to variation of an external parameter or to evolution of the system itself, the scheme for branching paths must be devised so as to achieve sampling which is distributed evenly in time and which takes account of changing fluxes through different regions of the phase space.
Algorithm summary
The SPRES algorithm branches simulation paths at fixed time intervals. The process of branching requires that identical paths can be made to diverge from each other, such as by changing the seed in the computer's random number generator. For systems which would be naturally considered as deterministic, it may be possible to inject an element of randomness, for instance by coupling to a fluctuating heat bath or by adding random perturbations to account for some elements of the simulation which are not modelled explicitly but which exist in the real system.
The amount of over or under-sampling (the branching density) is decided based on some system-specific 'progress coordinate' which measures progress toward a rare event of interest. The probability of selecting a configuration as the starting point for a new path segment is conditioned jointly by its probability of appearing in an unbiased simulation and by the local flux forwards in the progress coordinate, with a small flux leading adaptively to a larger oversampling.
The method is designed to allow ready observation of rare events with respect to time. An additional benefit relative to methods which mainly split trajectories based on interfaces in the progress coordinate rather than on time is that over most of the progress coordinate space the coordinate only needs to be evaluated at fixed time intervals (rather than continuously) because the exact time-point at which interfaces other than the final interface are reached is no longer of importance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamm%20%28W%C3%BCrtt%29%20station | Tamm (Württemberg) station (abbreviated to Tamm (Württ) is a station on the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn in Tamm in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, located at the 20.2 kilometre mark of the Franconia Railway.
History
In 1843 and 1844, planning for the development of railway lines around Stuttgart were in full swing. The engineer and expert Charles Vignoles foresaw the Western Railway towards Bruchsal branching off the Northern Railway (now called the Franconia Railway) towards Heilbronn near Tamm. His colleague, railway engineer Karl Etzel revised his proposal in July 1845 and advised against it. He recommended that the Western Railway separate from the Northern Railway at Bietigheim.
The Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergische Staatsbahn) offered to build a station in Tamm. But the council and a citizens' committee saw no advantage in the new form on transport and decided on 1 June 1846 not to accept the offer— which turned out to be a serious mistake.
On 11 October 1847, the State Railways opened the Ludwigsburg–Bietigheim section and in 1852 it was duplicated.
Campaign for a station
The municipality sought the building of a station at renewed talks, but the railways department refused, pointing out that the stations of Asperg and Bietigheim were within easy reach.
Timber from the Black Forest was still brought to the region on the Enz as timber rafts. Many were brought ashore in Bissingen. A new wood collection operation was developed near Tamm in the 1860s, making Tamm more important. But once again the State Railways administration pointed out that the stations of Asperg and Bietigheim were available to serve this traffic. And it knew that timber rafting would become a thing of the past, with the completion of the Enz Valley Railway and Nagold Valley Railway.
In the spring of 1874, the council asked the members of the Ludwigsburg Oberamt (district council) for assistance. It recommended petitions to the administration of the State Railways and to the Foreign Minister, Hermann von Mittnacht. These representations were also supported by industrialists, including the Franck brothers, who employed 40 people from Tamm in their Ludwigsburg factory, which produced a coffee substitute from chickory, and Adolf Reihlen of Stuttgart, owner of the Stuttgart sugar factory, who wanted to profit from the sugar beet cultivation in Tamm. Even the mayor of the town of Markgröningen and the municipalities of Bissingen and Untermberg supported the building of a station.
Opening of the station
Finally the State Railways agreed to build the station in Thamm (as it was spelt until 1904) and on 10 December 1877, it opened for traffic. The three-storey station building, which still exists, was built. There was a scatter of industries south of the station. The village grew to the west of the station. The lakeside meadow to the north remained undeveloped and development to the east was prevented by the Asperg boundary.

Recorded at RCTV Studios in Caracas, it is a co-production between Televisa and Cartoon Network Latin America, making it also the first local original live-action series. The show's original broadcasting time was 11:00 AM, 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM; currently it is broadcast Monday through Friday on Cartoon Network in Latin America, and on Canal 5 in Mexico from 5:00-6:00 PM. The show follows a group of friends as they experience conflicts throughout their middle school years.
The series first premiered on August 6, 2012, and then returned with the Season 2 on December 6, 2012. In September 2013, it started airing in the United States on UniMás' weekend morning lineup.
Plot
La CQ tells the story of eight friends at the middle school called Constantino Quijano. The friends: Angel, Clara, Beto, Monche, Jenny, Danny, Adri, and Roque often go through funny conflicts causing great stories, misunderstandings, but more importantly always showing the value of friendship and being a team.
Characters
Ángel del Río (played by Emiliano Flores): Ángel is Adri's older brother, and is usually not the smartest of the fraternity. He is the captain of La CQ's soccer team and dreams of one day being a professional player. He is friendly and considered very handsome by the girls of La CQ. He is Clara's boyfriend and Beto's best friend.
Clara Licona (played by Alejandra "Ale" Müller): Ángel's girlfriend (they start secretly dating at the end of Season 1), and Adri's best friend. She is the new student at La CQ. She is pretty but sometimes considered a little cheesy, especially when it comes to talking about Ángel. Her biggest enemy is Jenny and is the most "normal" out of the gang.
Roberto "Beto" Bautista (played by Benny Emmanuel): Beto is the smartest not only of the group but the whole school, although he is not considered very handsome. He is best friends with Ángel and Monche and has a crush on Danny.
Ramón “Monche” Barragán (played by Harold Azuara): Monche is the most naive and the comedian of the group. He often tells nonsensical jokes or says silly comments and sometimes spies on the cheerleaders or sneaks into the girls' restroom. He also has a habit of smoothening his hair.
Maria Juana "Jenny" Pinto del Rostro (played by Fernanda Urdapilleta): Jenny is the captain of the school's cheerleaders and is very mean. She is the daughter of La CQ's principal, and has a cousin named Danny (who she's always bossing around). She has a crush on Ángel, but he doesn't like her back, making her share a rivalry with Clara and Adri. She is considered the most girly and likes to be the center of attention. Even though she is a mean girl, the rest consider her a friend of the crew. Her biggest secret is her love for tacos which only Danny knows.
Daniela "Danny" Pinto del Rostro (played by Ferny Graciano): Danny is the other nitwit of the gang. She is pretty naive, distracted, and doesn |

Source Filmmaker is a tool for animating, editing, and rendering 3D animated videos using assets from different games which use the Source engine, assets such as sounds, models, and, backdrops. SFM also allows for the creation of still images, art, and, posters.
SFM includes three different user interfaces and, a "work camera" for previewing an active scene. The three interfaces are used for creating clips, controlling animation, and, making fine-tuned adjustments which include:
The Clip Editor; for recording, editing, and arranging shots. They hold the user's recorded gameplay and virtual assets. It also allows the user to place and arrange sound files and video filters.
The Motion Editor; for motion adjustments over time such as blending two animations. Users can also use motion presets to select paths and manipulate different scene objects, play clips at different times, and puppeteer the characters in different positions and frames.
The Graph Editor; for editing motion by creating keyframes that can be used for pose-to-pose animation.
Users can either create new projects or import data from Source-based games to extend their SFM animations. SFM also supports several cinematographic effects and techniques such as motion blur, Tyndall effects, dynamic lighting, and depth of field. Users can also rig 3D characters and can use inverse kinematics to manually animate movements.
Production and updates
Pre-release
SFM was developed internally at Valve in 2005 and forked from the in-game demo playback tool found in Source. SFM was successfully used to make Day of Defeat: Source trailers with effects that could not be achieved in real-time. The tool was used extensively for certain promotional materials for the release of Team Fortress 2, particularly the Meet the Team trailers. This version of SFM, which ran using Source's in-game tools framework, was unintentionally leaked during the public beta of Team Fortress 2 in September 2007. By 2010, the entire interface was re-implemented using Qt 4 and given its engine branch for further development.
Before SFM was released to the public, Team Fortress 2 carried a simplified version of SFM known as the "Replay Editor" which was limited to capturing the actual events occurring throughout a player's life. It provided no ability to modify actions, repeat segments, or apply special effects beyond those already used in-game. However, arbitrary camera angles were possible, such as tracking the movements of other players in action at the time. The Replay Editor also allowed users to upload completed videos to YouTube.
On June 27, 2012, SFM became available on a limit |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic%20Community%20of%20Germany | The Islamic Community of Germany (IGD; ) is an Islamic organization headquartered in Munich, Germany and that consists of a network of mosques, centers and associations in all major West German cities. The German government says the IGD is the central organization for Muslim Brotherhood followers in Germany.
It is part of the umbrella organization Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe which has its headquarters in Brussels.
History
The IGD had its origins in the Munich Mosque Construction Commission, a German organization established in the 1950s whose goal was the construction of a mosque in Munich. Said Ramadan, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, took over control of the commission in 1958 and used his position to travel throughout the Muslim world with his Syrian assistant Ali Ghaleb Himmat. Ramadan was assisted significantly by the US Central Intelligence Agency which allegedly paid for his travel and backed his efforts to take over the mosque although suspicions that Ramadan was a CIA operative have never been proven. By the mid-1960s, Ramadan was no longer in control of the Commission which was taken over by Himmat. During the 1960s, under Himmat's leadership and together with Egyptian businessman Youssef Nada the newly built Munich Mosque became the nucleus of a network of mosques, centers and associations in all major West German cities. In 1963, the Mosque Building Commission was renamed The Islamic Community of Southern Germany and in a 1982 meeting was renamed the Islamic Community of Germany (Islamische Gemeinschaft in Deutschland (IGD).
In 1989, IGD founded the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated umbrella organisation Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe.
Ties To Muslim Brotherhood
The IGD has been called "the main representative of the Brotherhood in Germany" and the German Domestic Intelligence Agency (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) calls the IGD "the central organization for Muslim Brotherhood followers in Germany." while noting that links to the brotherhood are often publicly denied by its European organisations.
Previous names
The IGD has been known by these names:
1958 - Ecclesiastical Administration of Moslem Refugees in the Federal Republic of Germany (Geistliche Verwaltung der mohammedanischen Flüchtlinge in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland).
1960 - Mosque Construction Commission
1963 - Islamic Community of Southern Germany
1982 - Islamic Community of Germany (Islamische Gemeinschaft in Deutschland)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured%20type | The SQL:1999 standard introduced a number of object–relational database features into SQL, chiefly among them structured user-defined types, usually called just structured types. These can be defined either in plain SQL with CREATE TYPE but also in Java via SQL/JRT. SQL structured types allow single inheritance.
Structured types are supported to varying degrees in Oracle Database, IBM Db2, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server, although the latter only allows structured types defined in CLR.
SQL examples
Object structured type
In order to define a custom structure type using Oracle Database one could use statements such as these:CREATE TYPE Person_Type AS OBJECT (
person_title VARCHAR2(10),
person_first_name VARCHAR2(20),
person_last_name VARCHAR2(20),
)
NOT FINAL;Such structure type can be then used to create a table that would also hold all columns defined in Person_Type:CREATE TABLE Person_Table OF Person_Type;Custom structure types support inheritance, which means that one can create another type that inherits from previous. NOT FINAL statement must be however included in a base structure type definition in order to allow for creation of any other subtypes.CREATE TYPE Student_Type UNDER Person_Type (
matriculation_number NUMBER(10)
);Student_Type then could be used in order to create a Student_Table which will include all columns defined in Person_Type as well. Primary Key and Constraints should be defined during or after creation of table and cannot be defined inside structure type itself.CREATE TABLE Student_Table OF Student_Type (
matriculation_number PRIMARY KEY,
CONSTRAINT person_title_not_null_constraint NOT NULL (person_title),
);Each custom structure type can also contain other types in order to support more complex structures:CREATE TYPE Address_Type AS OBJECT (
address_street VARCHAR2(30),
address_city VARCHAR2(30),
);
CREATE TYPE University AS OBJECT (
university_name VARCHAR2(30),
university_address Address_Type
);

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musl | musl is a C standard library intended for operating systems based on the Linux kernel, released under the MIT License. It was developed by Rich Felker with the goal to write a clean, efficient, and standards-conformant libc implementation.
Overview
musl was designed from scratch to allow efficient static linking and to have realtime-quality robustness by avoiding race conditions, internal failures on resource exhaustion and various other bad worst-case behaviors present in existing implementations. The dynamic runtime is a single file with stable ABI allowing race-free updates and the static linking support allows an application to be deployed as a single portable binary without significant size overhead.
It claims compatibility with the POSIX 2008 specification and the C11 standard. It also implements most of the widely used non-standard Linux, BSD, and glibc functions. There is partial ABI compatibility with the part of glibc required by Linux Standard Base.
Version 1.2.0 has support for (no longer current) Unicode 12.1.0 (while still having full UTF-8 support, more conformant/strict than glibc), and version 1.2.1 "features the new 'mallocng' malloc implementation, replacing musl's original dlmalloc-like allocator that suffered from fundamental design problems."
Use
Some Linux distributions that can use musl as the standard C library include Alpine Linux, Dragora 3, Gentoo Linux, OpenWrt, Sabotage, Morpheus Linux, Chimera Linux, and Void Linux. The seL4 microkernel ships with musl. For binaries that have been linked against glibc, gcompat can be used to execute them on musl-based distros.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyTracks | MyTracks was a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking application that ran on Android. The application used a device's GPS capabilities to collect data, allowing real-time review of path, speed, distance, and elevation. Later, this data could be saved to Google Maps, Google Fusion Tables, or Google Docs and shared with Google+, Facebook, or Twitter. The application also allowed a user to record annotations along the path, hear periodic voice announcements of progress, and sync with select third-party bio-metric sensors.
In 2016, Google announced that MyTracks would be deprecated and no longer available in the Google Play Store. An in-app popup alerted users that MyTracks would stop working on April 30, 2016;
History
The application made its debut on February 12, 2009 under a closed license. A year later on March 28, 2010, Google announced the open-sourcing of the application, stating that "The collective intelligence of the development community will create a more powerful, more intuitive, more useful, and more robust My Tracks." The first major re-haul of the application came on July 13, 2012 when Google released version 2.0. This introduced a new interface, support for playing back data in Google Earth for Android, improved charts, and additional statistics. In 2014 the developers announced on the google code project site that My Tracks would no longer developed in the open and that the source code would be removed. The last open source version was 2.0.5 released in August 2013.
Reception
In September 2013, the Google Play Store listed the application as being installed on 10,000,000 – 50,000,000 devices, with an overall rating of 4.4/5 from over 80,000 reviews. CNET gave the application 4/5 stars, praising its "Chart, Statistics, and satellite playback" and ability to pause recordings but criticized it for an "unattractive interface" and lack of "athletic-specific features". PCWorld awarded MyTracks 5/5 stars, stating "this app is just about perfect. It is intuitive to use and very stable."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPCAT%20%28software%29 | TOPCAT is an interactive graphical viewer and editor for tabular data. Although a general purpose tool capable of handling large and sparse datasets with correlation functionality its specialist application area is astronomy and it was initially designed to support virtual observatories. It is able to handle several digital file formats including FITS which is in common use in astronomy. The Acronym TOPCAT derives from Tool for OPerations on Catalogues And Tables.
History
The project was initially developed by Mark Taylor, an astrophysicist from the University of Bristol in 2003. Taylor acknowledges inspiration for some features from Mirage from Bell Labs and VOPlot from VO-India. Initially funded from the Starlink Project it has been funded by various other projects since.
Features
Written in Java, TOPCAT can be used both standalone and within a web browser. It is suitable for use as a graphical viewer and data editor of tabular data from FITS and other sources. Muna, in his 2016 paper "Introducing Nightlight: A New FITS Viewer", observes that SAOImage DS9, TOPCAT and Fv are the most common tools used to view FITS files. VisIVO is an alternative tool for working with virtual observatories.
While TOPCAT is unable to visualise catalogues as a set of vectors it does have capabilities to explore correlations in two and three dimensional scatter plots.
STILTS
The STILTS application complements TOPCAT with similar capabilities but is considered a steeper learning curve, however STILTS does have the advantage of being able to be scripted.
Applications
TOPCAT is used in training for use of virtual observatories, including access via the Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL). Applications using TOPCAT include MultiDark, a database for results from cosmological simulations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXXV-TV | "EXXV-TV" was the MyNetworkTV cable-only television station for the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was controlled by Fox affiliate WXXV-TV (owned by Morris Multimedia) and was operated out of its studios on U.S. 49 in Lyman (with a Gulfport postal address). The station was only seen on the digital tier of Cable ONE systems on channel 476.
History
The market's MyNetworkTV affiliation was originally seen over-the-air on WXXV-DT2 which signed-on in September 2006. MyNetworkTV was a response to The WB and UPN merging their operations in order to form a new network, The CW. Around the same time of network partners CBS and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner announcing the consolidation, News Corporation (owner of Fox) made public that it too was establishing a new programming service known as MyNetworkTV. It was specifically created for television stations formally affiliated with The WB or UPN that were supposedly not announced as joining The CW in addition to offering competition on new stations.
As a MyNetworkTV outlet, WXXV-DT2 also served as the Hattiesburg/Laurel market's default affiliate since that area lacked (and still does) a locally-associated station. Its over-the-air digital signal originated from a transmitter (in unincorporated Stone County northeast of McHenry) that was strategically located and featured a directional antenna pattern to enable the station to cover all locations in Mississippi's Gulf Coast and Pine Belt regions. On June 25, 2012, it was announced WXXV would become the market's first ever locally-based NBC affiliate.
The MyNetworkTV affiliation was moved to cable-exclusive status so that WXXV-DT2 could become the NBC outlet. The reason for this was that, in order to provide enough bandwidth to continue broadcasting the Fox main channel and NBC subchannel in 720p high definition, the over-the-air signal had to remain two channels. At this point, it joined "WNFM-TV" in Fort Myers, Florida as the only other true cable-only MyNetworkTV affiliate. A third outlet, "WAMY-TV" in Huntsville, Alabama, also has a fictional call sign but it is housed on a subchannel of an off-air station.
On January 1, 2015, WXXV took over promotional and advertising responsibilities of the market's cable-only CW affiliate "WBGP" from Cable ONE. As a result, the service was added to a new third subchannel of WXXV in order to offer over-the-air viewers access to The CW for the first time. Except for local commercials, all programming is provided through the national CW Plus service. Although "WBGP" was seen on the basic tier of Cable ONE, WXXV-DT3 is only available on digital channel 476 which was the location of this cable-exclusive MyNetworkTV station. At the same time that WXXV-DT3 launched, MyNetworkTV programming moved to a secondary affiliation on WXXV's primary channel and can be seen on weeknights from 10 until midnight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recover%20My%20Files | Recover My Files is a data recovery program that uses file carving to extract lost files from unallocated clusters. Recovery is based on the interpretation of file content, usually through the process of reverse engineering a file type.
It can be used to recover data from external and internal hard disks, in FAT, NTFS, HFS and HFS+ file systems.
The program uses two techniques: a lost file, and a lost drive recovery.
In the lost file recovery technique the program finds deleted file entries, and if requested will do a file carve of selected file types. A variety of popular file types can be found and carved. There is no way to add unknown file types. The file name is found in the deleted file search, but not in the lost file. This is because in most file systems the file name and date/times are stored on disk and are only marked for re-use by the system, and not completely removed.
In the drive recovery technique the program finds orphaned file system entries and reconstructs the missing/lost/corrupted volumes. The user can help the program by selecting file types that may have existed on the old system, but for majority of cases the automatic detection works. The user can also do a file carve in this technique as well. The program will reconstruct the file names and date times if available. This is obtained from non-deleted file system records such as from the NTFS $MFT as discussed here.
The program can be used on physical drives, forensic images, and RAID drives. In the latter case it can also reconstruct the RAID structure. Files can only be recovered after purchasing a product activation key.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20Small | Mary Small (May 10, 1922 – February 27, 2007) was a prominent singing personality during the Golden Age of Radio and hosted her own broadcasts for 14 consecutive years across all major networks. She headlined or opened at "presentation houses" from the 1930s through the 1950s including the Paramount Theater, Madison Square Garden, the London Palladium, the Copacabana with Sammy Davis, Jr., and the Palace Theater in Chicago.
In addition to being an established recording artist, she was a published author and performed on film, television and Broadway during her career. She was the first singer to be widely promoted as The Little Girl With The Big Voice, a moniker likely adopted by her first manager Ed Wolfe that was marketed in the Fleischer Brothers' Love Thy Neighbor, distributed by Paramount Pictures in 1934. The moniker "Little Girl With The Big Voice" was subsequently used to promote female singing prodigies from Judy Garland to Jackie Evancho. She was married for a time to the composer Vic Mizzy with whom she had a widely publicized divorce. Her life is the subject of a documentary by Rafael Moscatel.
Early years
Small was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Jack and Fannie Small. Her father was a local vaudevillian and her mother a homemaker. She first performed on Baltimore radio station WBAL at the age of six or seven and at nine won a radio contest hosted by Gus Edwards. She had a younger sister named Gloria. The story of how she was discovered was widely reported in newspapers, cartoon strips and interviews well into her later years She was interviewed by Joe Franklin in 1972.
In 1933, at the age of eleven she was introduced to singing trio the Three X Sisters at the Hippodrome Theater on Eutaw Street in Baltimore. The trio arranged for her an audition with their manager Ed Wolfe who then booked her on the Rudy Vallee Hour on NBC affiliate WEAF New York where she received her first big break singing Louisville Lady. Mary's voice was unique for that of a child, almost freakish to some, and the audience disbelief as to her age captivated America. Within a month she had landed her own show on NBC which led into Frank Sinatra's hour. Along with a selected stable of stars, they were promoted across the country on matchbooks, bottle caps and subway cars. While a child in New York she attended the Professional Children's School. Her childhood friend was Baby Rose Marie.
Golden Age Of Radio
Small was successful on radio throughout the 1930s and 1940s and either hosted or was featured on a number of programs. She worked with the biggest bands and orchestras of the day including Tommy Dorsey, Ray Bloch, Glenn Miller and with stars like Roy Rogers, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Jackie Gleason and Frank Sinatra. She had a number of announcers for her programs over the years including Bud Collyer and Milton Cross who was best known as the voice of the Metropolitan Opera for 43 years.
She was interviewed by David Siegel on September 24, 19 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types%20of%20mesh | A mesh is a representation of a larger geometric domain by smaller discrete cells. Meshes are commonly used to compute solutions of partial differential equations and render computer graphics, and to analyze geographical and cartographic data. A mesh partitions space into elements (or cells or zones) over which the equations can be solved, which then approximates the solution over the larger domain. Element boundaries may be constrained to lie on internal or external boundaries within a model. Higher-quality (better-shaped) elements have better numerical properties, where what constitutes a "better" element depends on the general governing equations and the particular solution to the model instance.
Common cell shapes
Two-dimensional
There are two types of two-dimensional cell shapes that are commonly used. These are the triangle and the quadrilateral.
Computationally poor elements will have sharp internal angles or short edges or both.
Triangle
This cell shape consists of 3 sides and is one of the simplest types of mesh. A triangular surface mesh is always quick and easy to create. It is most common in unstructured grids.
Quadrilateral
This cell shape is a basic 4 sided one as shown in the figure. It is most common in structured grids.
Quadrilateral elements are usually excluded from being or becoming concave.
Three-dimensional
The basic 3-dimensional element are the tetrahedron, quadrilateral pyramid, triangular prism, and hexahedron. They all have triangular and quadrilateral faces.
Extruded 2-dimensional models may be represented entirely by the prisms and hexahedra as extruded triangles and quadrilaterals.
In general, quadrilateral faces in 3-dimensions may not be perfectly planar. A nonplanar quadrilateral face can be considered a thin tetrahedral volume that is shared by two neighboring elements.
Tetrahedron
A tetrahedron has 4 vertices, 6 edges, and is bounded by 4 triangular faces. In most cases a tetrahedral volume mesh can be generated automatically.
Pyramid
A quadrilaterally-based pyramid has 5 vertices, 8 edges, bounded by 4 triangular and 1 quadrilateral face. These are effectively used as transition elements between square and triangular faced elements and other in hybrid meshes and grids.
Triangular prism
A triangular prism has 6 vertices, 9 edges, bounded by 2 triangular and 3 quadrilateral faces. The advantage with this type of layer is that it resolves boundary layer efficiently.
Hexahedron
A hexahedron, a topological cube, has 8 vertices, 12 edges, bounded by 6 quadrilateral faces. It is also called a hex or a brick. For the same cell amount, the accuracy of solutions in hexahedral meshes is the highest.
The pyramid and triangular prism zones can be considered computationally as degenerate hexahedrons, where some edges have been reduced to zero. Other degenerate forms of a hexahedron may also be represented.
Advanced Cells (Polyhedron)
A polyhedron (dual) element has any number of vertices, edges and faces. I |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science%20%26%20Environmental%20Health%20Network | The Science & Environmental Health Network (SEHN) is a non-profit organization founded in 1994. Its principal aim is to use law and best practices to combat cumulative impacts, especially in matters relating to public health and the environment. It is also a keen advocate of the Precautionary Principle, releasing a number of guidelines regarding how this principle should be actioned by governments and organizations.
SEHN's Mission and Values
SEHN concentrates its efforts in the application of science to help with public health and environmental issues, with a particular focus on ensuring that scientific practices are safe and will not cause harm to the environment or people in general. Their mission is to:
Encourage science to be used in the public interest and in the interest of the environment, as well as encourage the accurate interpretation of scientific information.
Identify information, logic and concepts that could provide significant change in the world.
Assist governments, communities and organizations with the implementation of policies from a scientific viewpoint.
History
SEHN was formed in 1994 by a number of different environmental organizations from North America, including:
Environmental Research Foundation
Environmental Defense Fund
OMB Watch
All of the organizations involved in the formation of SEHN were concerned with the way science was being used in the realms of public health and the environment, noticing that the application of new scientific principles was often more harmful than beneficial. In 1999, SEHN was granted the status of a 501(c) organization.
Notable Projects
Cumulative Impacts
The Cumulative Impacts project was launched by SEHN in collaboration with the Collaborative on Health and the Environment. It is designed to reduce the effect of cumulative impact on:
Ecosystems
Communities
Human Health
Cumulative Impact refers to the myriad of different factors that can adversely affect one of the above three categories, such as exposure to toxic substances, nutrition and infectious diseases, among many others. The group works towards establishing best practices within science and on legal shifts, in the hope that these can be used to reduce the cumulative impact seen in many aspects of the world.
Precautionary Principle
SEHN is an active advocate of the Precautionary Principle, which advises that, when an action could have a negative effect on the public or environment, those taking the action should be expected to prove that the action is not harmful. SEHN played an active role in the promotion of this principle and Carolyn Raffensperger, executive director of SEHN, convened the Wingspread Conference on the Precautionary Principle in 1998, where the principle was defined.
Members of SEHN have also published a number of different essays on the Precautionary Principle, as well as released many statements responding to developments surrounding the principle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeafChat | LeafChat is a free IRC client for Microsoft Windows and Unix-like operating systems, licensed under the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later. A donation is requested.
Features
Each channel is inside a tab which can be easily selected between while chatting. Most networks' servers are supported for connection; multiple networks can be connected to simultaneously. Users can add their own scripts and command shortcuts, and the software detects net splits.
Reception
TUCOWS circa 2004 showed LeafChat with a popularity of about 1/4, but a rating of four (of five) stars. Beginning in 2004, IRCReviews gave the software five stars (of five), as an Editors's Choice, describing it as "powerful, good looking, and scriptable."
In a 2010 review of version 2, LeafChat was described as "very well done", with a "killer" scripting API which was "convenient and easy", though the reviewer found some user-interface defaults "annoying", and ruled out using LeafChat due to perceived variable count limitations. In a 2011 summary of four popular IRC clients, Techbuzz India described LeafChat as "one of the best" open-source clients with a "clean and simple" interface, and noted its ability to connect to multiple servers simultaneously. The Simple Genetic Algorithm project at SourceForge suggested LeafChat (due to its zero cost) for its online IRC live developer support, and thoroughly outlined its setup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormac%20Kinney | Cormac Kinney is a serial fintech entrepreneur, known for Diamond Standard, a regulator-approved fungible diamond commodity, Heatmaps, cited in 5,800 US Patents, and a publisher social network acquired by News Corp.
Early life
Kinney grew up in University City, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, the oldest of six children. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering, earning a Bachelor of Science degree, and a Master of Science in 5 years, skipping one year of college, but leaving a Software Engineering degree uncompleted.
He has lived in Manhattan, New York City since 1994, and is married to Mimi So, an influential jewelry designer.
Career
As a student at Carnegie Mellon, Kinney founded two small software companies in succession, acquired by Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., and JD Edwards. Both were related to optimization.
Heatmaps, NeoVision
In 1993, with Carnegie Mellon Senior Research Scientist, Marc Graham, Kinney founded NeoVision Hypersystems, Inc. to develop and market the Heat maps technology. The term "heat map" was coined by Kinney and trademarked in 1993, but the trademark was unintentionally abandoned by its acquirer.
As of January 2020, since 1993, Heat maps have been cited in over 5,550 patents granted by the US PTO, and in 200,000 peer reviewed research papers.
As developed by Neovision, Heat maps were a real time middleware and computation platform used to rapidly develop trading and risk management systems, featuring the first commercial application of heat maps. Citibank was a key initial client, for which Kinney designed a risk management application for the global capital markets division in 1999. Ultimately the Neovision technology was installed on over 100 institutional trading desks, and at Nasdaq and the DTC for monitoring $1.7 trillion in daily transactions.
Distribution licenses were signed with Bloomberg L.P., Dow Jones Telerate, Thomson, and Reuters to install Heatmaps to over 300,000 desktops. The Nasdaq incorporated Heatmaps into the front page of www.nasdaq.com from 2001 through 2013.
In 2002, Kinney designed a trade cost analysis system for Fidelity Investments which was cited by The Wall Street Journal as "a sophisticated tracking system to see which brokers can execute trades most efficiently," and was credited with reducing the mutual-fund firm's trading costs by hundreds of millions of dollars per year, to half the industry average. This system was installed at Bank of America Investment Management, Invesco, Janus, Merrill Lynch Investment Management and Putnam Investments.
Brian Barefoot, President of PaineWebber International, and former global head of sales and trading at Merrill Lynch joined NeoVision as CEO, and Deutsche Bank's COO joined the board of directors. Subsequent to NeoVision, Barefoot became President of Babson College for seven years.
Neovision raised $8 million from Deutsche Bank, Bear Stearns, Intel Corporation and venture capital investors. After a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Home%20and%20Away%20characters%20%281994%29 | Home and Away is an Australian television soap opera. It was first broadcast on the Seven Network on 17 January 1988. The following is a list of characters that first appeared during 1994, by order of first appearance. They were all introduced by the show's executive producer Andrew Howie. The 7th season of Home and Away began airing on 10 January 1994. The first introduction of the year was Dylan Harris, the son of established character Angel Brooks. Daniel Amalm and Toni Pearen were introduced in April as Jack Wilson and Beth Armstrong, respectively. Tempany Deckert joined the cast as Selina Cook the following month. Matthew Lilley and Eva Matiuk began playing Rob Storey and Sonia Johnson in July, respectively. Isla Fisher and Shane Ammann arrived as Shannon and Curtis Reed in September. Nicola Quilter began appearing as Donna Bishop in November.
Dylan Parrish
Dylan Parrish (né Harris), made his first appearance on 1 February 1994. Jimmy Lucini originated the role and Jay Patterson later took over. Corey Glaister played Dylan from 1995 until his departure in 1996.
After Paul Harris (Ramsay Everingham), loses custody of Dylan to his mother, Angel Brooks (Melissa George), and Shane Parrish (Dieter Brummer), he decides to hold his son hostage. Dylan is found and taken to the doctor for a routine check-up, he is then diagnosed with leukaemia. George stated "Angel is totally freaked out when she gets Dylan's test results back. Shane comforts her and tells her it's going to be fine." The situation makes Shane realise that Dylan feels like a real son to him. Brummer praised Dylan's portrayer Glaister and called him "good fun" to work with.
Dylan is the son of Angel Brooks and Paul Harris. He was born when Angel was fourteen and raised by his grandmother Anne (Fay Kelton) when Angel gave up custody. Angel tracks Dylan down when he is three years old much to Anne's chagrin. She tells him she is his mother but he refuses to believe her, devastating Angel. Anne eventually relents and lets Angel have access and have Dylan for the odd weekend. Angel's boyfriend Shane Parrish struggles to connect with Dylan at first but soon grows to love him. During his visit, Dylan accidentally spills orange juice all over Donald Fisher's (Norman Coburn) last remaining photos of his late daughter, Bobby Marshall (Nicolle Dickson), leaving Donald upset. On Dylan's next visit to the bay, he locks himself in Donald's car while Shane and Damian Roberts (Matt Doran) babysit him. Several months later, Shane and Angel decide to battle Anne and Paul for custody of Dylan. During this time, he realises that Angel his mother and begins calling her "Mummy". Shane and Angel win custody of Dylan after Paul withdraws due to Anne's attitude towards Angel.
Paul resurfaces several months later and begins a hate campaign against Angel and attempts to kidnap Dylan, but is foiled by Shannon Reed (Isla Fisher). Dylan develops a temperature and begins feeling tired. He is later diagnosed w |
