https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20Radio%20Channel | Data Radio Channel (DARC) is a high-rate (16 kbit/s) standard for encoding data in a subcarrier over FM radio broadcasts. It uses a frequency of 76kHz, the fourth harmonic of the FM radio pilot tone.
DARC was approved as the All-European standard ETS 300 751 in 1997.
Applications
DARC is well-suited to distributing traffic information because of its higher speed. In Japan, the VICS (Vehicle Information and Communication System) service has operated since 1996 in the Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka metropolitan areas. In France, DARC has been tested for traffic message channel services.
In the United States, it was used to deliver stock market quotations by Digital DJ beginning in 1998.
In Munich, DARC is used to transmit public transport data to battery-powered signs in bus and tram stations.
Similar technologies
Other data broadcasting technologies include RDS and Microsoft's DirectBand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDataCool | iDataCool is a high-performance computer cluster based on a modified IBM System x iDataPlex. The cluster serves as a research platform for cooling of IT equipment with hot water and efficient reuse of the waste heat. The project is carried out by the physics department of the University of Regensburg in collaboration with the IBM Research and Development Laboratory Böblingen and InvenSor. It is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German state of Bavaria, and IBM.
Overview
The iDataCool high-performance compute cluster is a research project on cooling with hot water and energy reuse in data centers. The waste heat of iDataCool is used to drive an adsorption chiller that generates chilled water. The project pursues the following goals:
Proof of principle: production grade computer cluster can be cooled with hot water at temperatures at or above 65°C
Recover a significant fraction of the waste heat
Energy Reuse Effectiveness (ERE) less than one
Design of a cost-efficient technology prototype for future developments in high-performance computer design and operation
The iDataCool cluster has been operating with hot-water cooling since 2011. The infrastructure support for energy reuse was finished in 2012. Members of the project have also been active in other supercomputer projects such as QCDOC and QPACE. SuperMUC is based on the cooling technology invented for QPACE, Aquasar, and iDataCool.
The iDataCool research project was presented at the International Supercomputing Conference in Leipzig, Germany, in 2013, which led to it being featured in several articles.
Background and design target
Power and cooling of IT equipment are of major concern for modern data centers. Since 1996 the worldwide costs for power and cooling of IT infrastructure have increased by more than a factor of five. Conventionally, data centers use air as the primary cooling medium for the IT equipment. While air cooling is simple and flexible it also has some disadvantages, e.g., limited packaging density and limited options for energy reuse.
Liquid cooling based on water as the coolant is another option. Since water has a very high heat capacity large amounts of heat can be removed from a system at moderate flow rates, thus allowing for a higher packaging density which in turn results in less floor space. Liquid cooling has recently resurfaced in the sector of high-performance computing. Since 2009 the Green500 list of the most energy-efficient supercomputers is dominated by liquid-cooled designs.
If the design of the liquid-cooling system allows for high coolant temperatures, energy can be saved or even reused, depending on the climate conditions and on the local infrastructure. For example, free cooling is possible if the coolant temperature is higher than the ambient temperature. In that case the energy for chillers can be saved. If the coolant temperature is even higher, the waste heat from the compute equipment could be used for heating pu |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArcticNet | ArcticNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence of Canada. Its objective is to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the coastal Canadian Arctic.
ArcticNet was founded in December 2003. ArcticNet also manages the Arctic Inspiration Prize on a voluntary basis.
The governance structure includes a board of directors who oversee two divisions: (1) the science programme, led by an Inuit Advisory Committee and a Territorial Advisory Committee, to whom the Scientific Director reports, and (2) the network administration overseen by an Executive Director.
Past board members include Sheila Watt-Cloutier. Former President of the Inuit Circumpolar Council. Current board members include Professor Jackie Dawson and Cedar Swan CEO of Adventure Canada.
ArcticNet Scientific Publications
Since the beginning of its activities in 2003, ArcticNet researchers have published more than 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 2,300 other publications. The total contributions of ArcticNet researchers – presentations, publications and other communications exceeds 3,700.
The ArcticNet Publications Database includes publications from the ArcticNet, Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study (CASES) and International North Water Polynya Study (NOW) research projects. It provides complete coverage of more than 2,400 peer-reviewed publications and partial coverage of over 800 other publications.
Core research program
In addition to field work undertaken in northern communities, ArcticNet researchers use the Canadian Coast Guard research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen to access the coastal Arctic.
Education and training
From the very beginning, ArcticNet has been implementing a comprehensive training strategy to recruit and train new generations of researchers and technicians, critical for documenting and studying the transformation of the Canadian North.
Over 600 students and postdoctoral fellows have completed or are completing their training within the unique and international context of ArcticNet.
Schools on Board
Schools on Board is an outreach program initiated in the first year of ArcticNet. It bridges the gap between Arctic science taught in the classroom and research conducted in the field. The main activity of Schools on Board is the field trip 'on board' the CCGS Amundsen where students and teachers have the unique opportunity to participate in an educational experience fully integrated into the research activities of the ArcticNet teams. In 2013, building on the success of Schools on Board, a pilot program called Schools on Tundra was launched, with its first field trip hosted at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
Meetings
ArcticNet organizes regular meetings, conferences and workshops. Network members gather once a year at the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next%20Unit%20of%20Computing | Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits designed by Intel. It was previewed in 2012 and launched in early 2013. The NUC has developed over ten generations, spanning from Sandy Bridge-based Celeron CPUs in the first generation through Ivy Bridge-based Core i3 and i5 CPUs in the second generation to Gemini Lake-based Pentium and Celeron CPUs and Kaby Lake-based Core i3, i5, and i7 CPUs in the seventh and eighth generations. The NUC motherboard usually measures approximately , although some models have had different dimensions.
The barebone kits consist of the board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. Intel also sells bare NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU. However, () the price of a NUC motherboard is very close to the corresponding cased kit; third-party cases for the NUC boards are also available.
In July 2023, Intel announced that it would no longer develop NUC mainboards and matching mini PC.
They subsequently announced that NUC products will continue to be built by ASUS, under non-exclusive license.
First generation
Sandy Bridge
The first generation Intel NUC launched in the first quarter of 2013. This UCFF motherboard and system kit are codenamed Ski Lake (DCP847SK) and Deep Canyon (DCCP847DY) respectively.
Second generation
Ivy Bridge
The base UCFF motherboard and kit without Thunderbolt or USB 3 are codenamed Golden Lake (D33217GK) and Ice Canyon (DC3217IY) respectively. The Thunderbolt capable UCFF motherboard and kit are codenamed Campers Lake (D33217CK) and Box Canyon (DC3217BY) respectively. The USB 3 capable UCFF motherboard and kit are codenamed Rend Lake (D53427RK) and Horse Canyon (DC53427HY) respectively.
The stripped-down DC3217BY model has a signature red top cover and no Ethernet. This model, while stocks were still available, generally sold for a deep discount. The absence of Ethernet may be mitigated by using a USB 2.0 to 10/100 fast Ethernet dongle based upon the Kawasaki LSI one-chip adapter (KL5KUSB102, for example), or a similar dongle based upon a Realtek chip; the Kawasaki Logic dongle requires a proprietary driver for macOS X, whereas the driver for the Realtek dongle is built into macOS X. The DC3217BY runs macOS X (10.9, and any of its updates) flawlessly as the processor's HD4000 is fully supported by macOS X.
Third generation
Bay Trail-M
This UCFF motherboard (DN2820FYB) and system kit (DN2820FYKH) model were codenamed Forest Canyon. The DN2820FYKH product itself is mis-marked DN2820FYK, but the retail package, all retail documentation, and Intel's web site correctly identify this product as DN2820FYKH. The "H" indicates support for internal 2.5" media, SSD or HDD. There is no "non-H" version of this product as it does not include an on-board mSATA connector, hence media which is external to the board is mandatory, and hence the "H" version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary%20Supplements%20%28database%29 | The PubMed Dietary Supplement Subset (PMDSS) is a joint project between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS). PMDSS is designed to help people search for academic journal articles related to dietary supplement literature. The subset was created using a search strategy that includes terms provided by the Office of Dietary Supplements, and selected journals indexed for PubMed that include significant dietary supplement related content. It succeeds the International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements (IBIDS) database, 1999–2010, which was a collaboration between the Office of Dietary Supplements and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Library.
The Subset
ODS and NLM partnered to create this Dietary Supplement Subset of NLM's PubMed database. PubMed provides access to citations from the MEDLINE database and additional life science academic journals. It also includes links to many full-text articles at journal Web sites and other related Web resources.
The subset is designed to limit search results to citations from a broad spectrum of dietary supplement literature including vitamin, mineral, phytochemical, ergogenic, botanical, and herbal supplements in human nutrition and animal models. The subset will retrieve dietary supplement-related citations on topics including, but not limited to:
chemical composition;
biochemical role and function — both in vitro and in vivo;
clinical trials;
health and adverse effects;
fortification;
traditional Chinese medicine and other folk/ethnic supplement practices;
cultivation of botanical products used as dietary supplements; as well as,
surveys of dietary supplement use.
The PMDSS is a free service and can be accessed either directly through the ODS Website or in PubMed using the Dietary Supplement filter (formerly referred to as a Limit).
History
Dietary supplements were first regulated in by the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938. In 1941 the United States Food and Drug Administration proffered definitions for dietary supplementary foods which included minerals, vitamins and other specialized supplements. In the early 1970s the FDA tried to restrict the definition of dietary supplements to essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. However, as the 1970s progressed, a 1974 court decision and legislation that passed in 1976 would not allow such action. In 1994, against recommendations from the FDA, the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA) was passed. This act defined dietary supplements, made safety a matter of regulation, stated the requirements for approved third party literature, and regulated label content.
Office of Dietary Supplements
DSHEA mandated the establishment of the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health. The mission of ODS is to strengthen knowledge and understanding of dietary supplements by evaluating s |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GreenBytes | GreenBytes was an American company providing inline deduplication data storage appliances and cloud-scale IO-Offload systems. Robert Petrocelli founded the company in 2007. On May 15, 2014, it was acquired by Oracle Corporation.
History
The company began as a provider of energy-efficient inline deduplication storage appliances.
In March 2012, GreenBytes released Solidarity, a high availability solid-state drive (SSD) array. Solidarity’s operating system, GO OS, provides real-time deduplication and compression.
In 2012, the company raised $12 million from Generation Investment Management, an investment fund founded by former US Vice President Al Gore, bringing the total amount it had raised by then to $24 million. GreenBytes stated it would use the new funds to expand sales and marketing of its data storage arrays.
In July 2012, GreenBytes acquired the ZEVO ZFS technology for Mac OS X, developed by former Apple engineer Don Brady, who then joined the GreenBytes team. In that same month, Stephen O’Donnell became chairman of the company and Brett Johnson was appointed as senior vice president of global sales.
In August 2012, the company announced a new virtual desktop infrastructure device called IO Offload Engine. The IO Offload Engine captures the I/O intense data stream and processes it in a more effective and efficient manner. This represented a shift for GreenBytes from a focus as a storage array vendor toward input/output–offload solutions for the virtual desktop.
On May 15, 2014, the company was acquired by Oracle Corporation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RapidQ | RapidQ (also known as Rapid-Q) is a free, cross-platform, semi-object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language. It can create console, graphical user interface, and Common Gateway Interface applications. The integrated development environment includes a drag-and-drop form designer, syntax highlighting, and single-button compilation. Versions are available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX.
Additional functionality not normally seen in BASIC languages are function callbacks and primitive object-orientation. The language is called semi-object-oriented by its author because there are only two levels of the class hierarchy: built-in classes, and user-defined classes derived from those; the latter cannot be extended further. The ability to call external shared libraries is available, thus giving full access to the underlying operating system's application program interface. Other capabilities include built-in interfaces to DirectX and MySQL.
RapidQ features a bytecode compiler that produces standalone executables by binding the generated bytecode with the interpreter. No external run time libraries are needed; the bytecode interpreter is self-contained. The file sizes of executable files created by RapidQ are about 150 kilobytes or larger for console applications.
RapidQ's author, William Yu, sold the source code to REAL Software, the makers of REALbasic, in 2000. The freely distributed program has been improved and many additional components have been created by an active user group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20NBC%20Sports | NBC Sports is the sports division of the NBC television network. Formerly "a service of NBC News" (it was spun off as a standalone operating unit by 1977), it broadcasts a diverse array of programs, including the Olympic Games, the NFL, Notre Dame football, the PGA Tour, the Triple Crown, and the French Open, among others. Assets currently include among others Golf Channel and NBC Sports Regional Networks.
Early years
NBC Sports' history can be traced back to May 17, 1939, when experimental television station W2XBS in New York City (which would eventually become WNBC-TV) televised an intercollegiate baseball game between Columbia and Princeton. That year, W2XBS would also televise a boxing match between former heavyweight champion Max Baer and Lou Nova at Madison Square Garden, a doubleheader between the Cincinnati Reds and Brooklyn Dodgers from Ebbets Field, and a professional football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Football League. All were firsts for the respective sports.
After the end of World War II, sporting events were staples of the nascent NBC television network. NBC televised the Army–Navy Game in 1945, hailed by sports writers at the time as "The Game of the Century." In 1946, the Cavalcade of Sports, a primetime sports anthology program known mainly for its boxing matches, debuted on the network. NBC would televise boxing, usually on Friday nights, until it cancelled the program in 1960. In 1947, NBC televised Games 1 and 5 of the World Series in the New York metropolitan area (CBS televised Games 3 and 4, while the DuMont Television Network televised Games 2, 6 and 7).
1950s
Beginning in 1950, NBC Sports became the exclusive broadcaster of the World Series, a status that would last for 26 consecutive years. In 1957, the network began televising the Game of the Week. Except for the 1965 season, NBC would televise Saturday afternoon games for the next three decades. The network expanded its sports lineup to include the NBA, college and professional football, as well as championship events. In 1952, NBC became the broadcast home of the Rose Bowl; a relationship that lasted for 37 years until 1988. For 1954, NBC signed a one-year agreement to carry the Big Four of Canadian football on Saturday afternoons.
In 1955, the network paid $100,000 to air the NFL Championship. An employee of NBC played a small part in "The Greatest Game Ever Played." During overtime of the 1958 NFL Championship, NBC lost its feed from Yankee Stadium. A technician ran onto the field and stopped play long enough for the feed to be restored. The game was a watershed moment in the history of the NFL, establishing professional football as a nationally popular television property and beginning the upward surge of the league's popularity.
1960s
CBS would take over the exclusive broadcast rights to the NFL, including the Championship Game, in 1964. The following year, NBC obtained the broadcast rights to the upstart Am |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-Based%20Math | Computer-Based Math is an educational project started by Conrad Wolfram in 2010 to promote the idea that routine mathematical calculations should be done with a computer.
Conrad Wolfram believes that mathematics education should make the greatest possible use of computers for performing computation leaving students to concentrate on the application and interpretation of mathematical techniques. Wolfram also argues that computers are the basis of doing math in the real world and that education should reflect that and that programming should be taught as part of math education.
Wolfram contends that this approach is fundamentally different from most of the use of Computers in the classroom (or Computer-based mathematics education), whose role is to help to teach students to perform hand calculations, rather than to perform those computations and is also distinct from delivery tools such as E-learning systems.
In 2010 the website www.computerbasedmath.org was set up to start developing a new curriculum and interactive digital learning materials to support it. It holds an annual conference.
In February 2013, Estonia announced that it would be piloting a Computer-Based Math developed statistics course in cooperation with the University of Tartu. The African Leadership University plans to use materials developed by ComputerBasedMath.org in its Data and Decisions curriculum.
UNICEF supported the third Computer-Based Math Education Summit in New York, in 2013.
Examples of calculations that should be done with a computer include arithmetical operations such as long division or integration techniques such as trigonometric substitution.
In 2020 Wolfram published a book "The Math(s) Fix" detailing the problems and his proposed solution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla%20%28video%20game%29 | is a side-scrolling action video game produced by dB-SOFT that was released in 1986 exclusively for the Family Computer (the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System).
Gameplay
In a story inspired by Dirty Pair, Layla, a 17-year-old member of special forces group CAT, needs to rescue her team partner Iris who was kidnapped by the evil Dr. Manitoka. Eight asteroids have to be explored in search of Iris, each divided into two sections: the first part involving the surface of the asteroid while the second part deals with the actual enemy base.
The game's screen always scrolls from left to right and no backtracking is permitted on any level. While navigating through the cavern-like interiors of the asteroids, password disks must be retrieved. At the end of each base awaits a boss that must be defeated. When the player character's life reaches zero, she dies and immediately loses a life. A password is shown after the player game over so that players can resume their progress at a later date.
Several guns in addition to some hand grenades can be used; a handgun is the player's initial weapon, but more powerful weapons can be found by exploring. Every weapon has a limited amount of ammunition. Certain blocks can be broken by using the player's chosen weapon; the destroyable and non-destroyable blocks are sometimes indistinguishable. Bonus levels distributed throughout the game allow players to destroy squadrons of enemy ships while being completely impervious to their attacks.
Reception
When Layla was announced in August 1986, originally scheduled to arrive in September, the game was noted for featuring the second heroine on the Nintendo Entertainment System, after Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Bōken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu (the gender of Samus Aran from Metroid was a secret). However, more female-protagonists games including Athena, The Wing of Madoola and Gall Force also arrived at around the same time as when it was finally released in December. Upon its release, Layla was rated 26/40 (5, 7, 7, 7) by the four reviewers in Weekly Famitsu, three of whom acclaimed the cuteness of the main character in their notes. The three reviewers from Marukatsu FC gave it an overall score of 11/15 (4, 4, 3).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock%20Holmes%3A%20Hakushaku%20Reij%C5%8D%20Y%C5%ABkai%20Jiken | is an action video game that was released exclusively in Japan for the Family Computer. An unofficial English translation patch for the game was released on December 9, 2018.
Gameplay
Sherlock Holmes has to rescue a countess (who is the daughter of an earl) from an evil kidnapper. By travelling all over Great Britain, he can collect the clues and defeat the thugs in order to conduct a thorough investigation.
Parks, sewers and even private houses provide clues needed to solve the mystery and bring the kidnapper to justice. Innocent citizens can also be kicked around just like the criminals. Knives and guns can also be integrated into Holmes' offensive techniques; allowing him to collect money from fallen thugs. If Holmes is killed by any means, the mystery becomes a perfect crime, thus terminating the game.
During the course of the game, players must collect a magnifying glass amongst other tools typically used by Sherlock Holmes. This game features urban violence; particularly in London, which was seen as a "rowdy" city during the late Victorian era. Players can also encounter large groups of violent non-player characters in the "rough streets" of Birmingham. Determining enemy characters from the innocent civilians is not an easy task. The game does not punish the player for firing a loaded weapon in a busy city street during the daytime hours. Famous British landmarks such as the famous Kensington Gardens in London along with Conway Park in Newcastle offer important tidbits that permit the investigation to move forward.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromepet%20railway%20station | Chromepet railway station is one of the railway stations of the Chennai Beach–Chengelpet section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network. It serves the neighbourhoods of Chromepet, Chitlapakkam, and surrounding areas. It is situated about from Chennai Beach, and has an elevation of above sea level.
History
Chromepet railway station lies on the Chennai Beach—Tambaram suburban section of the Chennai Suburban Railway, which was opened to traffic on 11 May 1931. The tracks were electrified on 15 November 1931. The section was converted to 25 kV AC traction on 15 January 1967.
In 1998, the railways decided to replace the level crossing at the north side of the station with a subway. In 2008, the project was re-designed as a road under bridge (RUB) with the involvement of the highways department to allow all vehicles. However, in late 2008, following objections from about 400 families residing on either side of the level crossing, the design was changed again to a limited-use subway, measuring long, wide and high. On 27 February 2009, construction of the 75.5-million limited-use subway began. However, the work has been stalled due to land acquisition problems.
The level crossing on the south side of the station, called "MIT Gate" was closed in January 2000 and construction of a massive ROB with four ramps on the GST road, a rotary on top and a two lane ramp extending over the tracks to the eastern side which connected with the Chitlappakam main road was commenced. After prolonged construction due to litigation by affected families, change of state government during the interim period etc., it was completed and thrown open to public in January 2006. Now known popularly as the "MIT Flyover", it serves as a vital lifeline for the populace of Nehru Nagar, Hastinapuram, Chitlapakkam and surrounding areas to easily access the GST road.
Safety
In the Guindy–Chengalpet stretch of the suburban section, which suffers from more fatal accidents of about 30 people a month compared to other stretches of the suburban network, the Chromepet–Tambaram stretch remains the deadliest with at least 15 accidents occurring every month as of 2011. Of the 181 people killed on the tracks between Guindy and Chengalpet in 2011, one-fourth were killed on the tracks between Chromepet and Tambaram stations.
The station also lacks several basic amenities.
In June 2014, an FOB connecting the Chromepet bus stand on the GST road with the Chromepet railway station was completed. It has 2 stairs on either side of the GST road, a slope on one of those sides, and 2 working escalators on both sides for climbing the FOB instead of taking the pain to climb stairs. It connects the existing FOB of the Chromepet railway station.

It serves the neighbourhood of Tambaram Sanatorium and surrounding areas. It is situated about 27 km from Chennai Beach and has an elevation of above sea level.
History
Tambaram Sanatorium railway station lies on the Madras Beach—Tambaram suburban section of the Chennai Suburban Railway, which was opened to traffic on 11 May 1931. The tracks were electrified on 15 November 1931. The section was converted to 25 kV AC traction on 15 January 1967. However, the station was built much later. When the Government Hospital of Thoracic Medicine expanded in the 1970s and gained importance, the railway station was built to serve the locality.
Safety
The stretch along the station is considered one of the deadliest accident zones in the Guindy–Chengalpet stretch of the suburban section, with about 15 accidents occurring every month as of 2011 in the Chromepet–Tambaram stretch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perungalathur%20railway%20station | Perungalathur railway station is one of the railway stations of the Chennai Beach–Chengelpet section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network serving the neighbourhoods of Perungalathur and Peerkankaranai in Tambaram City. It is situated about from Chennai Beach and has an elevation of above sea level.
History
The lines at the station were electrified on 9 January 1965, with the electrification of the Tambaram–Chengalpattu section.
Layout
The station has two platforms. The platforms in the station can presently accommodate only 12-car rakes. In 2012, Southern Railway began renovating the station, including expansion of the platforms to accommodate 12-car rakes. There are two level crossings, namely, LC No. 32 on the northern end and LC No. 33 on the southern end, on either side of the station, a few metres away from the platforms. LC No. 32 comes within Peerkankaranai limits and LC No. 33 comes under the jurisdiction of Perungalathur. So the Railways has decided to build a mini platform to accommodate three coaches without closing either level crossings. This would be in use until both the level crossings are replaced by road over bridges.
Traffic
As of 2012, 84 trains halt at the station and about 10,000 commuters use the station daily.
Per a traffic census conducted in March 2006, LC No. 32 witnessed a traffic flow of 861,000 train vehicle units and LC No. 33 witnessed 743,000 train vehicle units.
Developments
In 2011, a road overbridge was planned to replace LC-32. The ramps of the overbridge would descend on the proposed 500-million Eastern Bypass project connecting Velachery Main Road at Rajakilpakkam and GST Road near the station. A pedestrian subway was also planned to replace LC-33.
Accidents
As of 2012, an average of at least five people are killed on the track every month at the station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virut | Virut is a cybercrime malware botnet, operating at least since 2006, and one of the major botnets and malware distributors on the Internet. In January 2013, its operations were disrupted by the Polish organization Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa.
Characteristics
Virut is a malware botnet that is known to be used for cybercrime activities such as DDoS attacks, spam (in collaboration with the Waledac botnet), fraud, data theft, and pay-per-install activities. It spreads through executable file infection (through infected USB sticks and other media), and more recently, through compromised HTML files (thus infecting vulnerable browsers visiting compromised websites). It has infected computers associated with at least 890,000 IP addresses in Poland. In 2012, Symantec estimated that the botnet had control of over 300,000 computers worldwide, primarily in Egypt, Pakistan and Southeast Asia (including India). A Kaspersky report listed Virut as the fifth-most widespread threat in the third quarter of 2012, responsible for 5.5% of computer infections.
History
The Virut botnet has been active since at least 2006.
On 17 January 2013, Polish research and development organization, data networks operator, and the operator of the Polish ".pl" top-level domain registry, Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa (NASK), took over twenty three domains used by Virut to attempt to shut it down. A NASK spokesperson stated that it was the first time NASK engaged in such an operation (taking over domains), owing to the major threat that the Virut botnet posed to the Internet. It is likely Virut will not be shut down completely, as some of its control servers are located at Russian ".ru" top-level domain name registrars outside the reach of the Polish NASK. Further, the botnet is able to look up alternate backup hosts, enabling the criminals operating it to reestablish control over the network.

Despite being titled as a sequel to Spelunker, Spelunker II: Yūsha e no Chōsen features vastly different gameplay. There was a separate arcade sequel, titled Spelunker II: 23 no Kagi, which features similar gameplay to the first Spelunker game as well. The two Spelunker II games are separate entries in the series and are not related.
Gameplay
Geyla took over Fairy Land in a massive demon invasion one thousand years ago and continues to rule it with an iron grip. A viewpoint similar to Ganbare Goemon is utilized; allowing players to go in four different directions.
The player controls an anonymous treasure hunter who seeks treasure within Fairy Land. Unlike most video game characters, the player is an antihero who is unsure whether to liberate Fairy Land or simply become rich from all their treasures. Actions in the game will ultimately influence how the story ends. Lava fields along with bottomless pits and scattered enemies will make life tough for the player. There are also some bosses that appear at the end of each respective stage.
Two distinct meters keep track of the character's well-being in the game; a "life" meter helps to govern the player's stamina while a "Toku" meter helps to govern the player's morality level. Killing undead creatures improves the player's "Toku" rating. Players can choose from three character classes: explorer, clergy or esper. While the explorer is basically a variation from the original Spelunker character, the Esper is an adept magic user with the ability to throw thunderbolts while the clergy member can shoot out fireballs at the enemy. The number of days that have elapsed in-game in addition to the current in-game time is included and is vital for certain tasks. If the player falls down a pit while having a high "Toku" rating; he is revived at a minimum cost. Suffering that same fate with a low "Toku" meter causes the player to descend to eternal damnation in Hell; thus ending the game.
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version of Spelunker II: 23 no Kagi on their October 15, 1986 issue as being the seventeenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunstall%20coding | In computer science and information theory, Tunstall coding is a form of entropy coding used for lossless data compression.
History
Tunstall coding was the subject of Brian Parker Tunstall's PhD thesis in 1967, while at Georgia Institute of Technology. The subject of that thesis was "Synthesis of noiseless compression codes"
Its design is a precursor to Lempel–Ziv.
Properties
Unlike variable-length codes, which include Huffman and Lempel–Ziv coding,
Tunstall coding is a code which maps source symbols to a fixed number of bits.
Both Tunstall codes and Lempel–Ziv codes represent variable-length words by fixed-length codes.
Unlike typical set encoding, Tunstall coding parses a stochastic source with codewords of variable length.
It can be shown
that, for a large enough dictionary, the number of bits per source letter can be arbitrarily close to , the entropy of the source.
Algorithm
The algorithm requires as input an input alphabet , along with a distribution of probabilities for each word input.
It also requires an arbitrary constant , which is an upper bound to the size of the dictionary that it will compute.
The dictionary in question, , is constructed as a tree of probabilities, in which each edge is associated to a letter from the input alphabet.
The algorithm goes like this:
D := tree of leaves, one for each letter in .
While :
Convert most probable leaf to tree with leaves.
Example
Let's imagine that we wish to encode the string "hello, world".
Let's further assume (somewhat unrealistically) that the input alphabet
contains only characters from the string "hello, world" — that is, 'h', 'e', 'l', ',', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'd'.
We can therefore compute the probability of each character based on its statistical appearance in the input string.
For instance, the letter L appears thrice in a string of 12 characters: its probability is .
We initialize the tree, starting with a tree of leaves. Each word is therefore directly associated to a letter of the alphabet.
The 9 words that we thus obtain can be encoded into a fixed-sized output of bits.
We then take the leaf of highest probability (here, ), and convert it to yet another tree of leaves, one for each character.
We re-compute the probabilities of those leaves. For instance, the sequence of two letters L happens once.
Given that there are three occurrences of letters followed by an L, the resulting probability is .
We obtain 17 words, which can each be encoded into a fixed-sized output of bits.
Note that we could iterate further, increasing the number of words by every time.
Limitations
Tunstall coding requires the algorithm to know, prior to the parsing operation, what the distribution of probabilities for each letter of the alphabet is.
This issue is shared with Huffman coding.
Its requiring a fixed-length block output makes it lesser than Lempel–Ziv, which has a similar dictionary-based design, but with a variable-sized block output.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent%20encryption | Convergent encryption, also known as content hash keying, is a cryptosystem that produces identical ciphertext from identical plaintext files. This has applications in cloud computing to remove duplicate files from storage without the provider having access to the encryption keys. The combination of deduplication and convergent encryption was described in a backup system patent filed by Stac Electronics in 1995. This combination has been used by Farsite, Permabit, Freenet, MojoNation, GNUnet, flud, and the Tahoe Least-Authority File Store.
The system gained additional visibility in 2011 when cloud storage provider Bitcasa announced they were using convergent encryption to enable de-duplication of data in their cloud storage service.
Overview
The system computes a cryptographic hash of the plaintext in question.
The system then encrypts the plaintext by using the hash as a key.
Finally, the hash itself is stored, encrypted with a key chosen by the user.
Known Attacks
Convergent encryption is open to a "confirmation of a file attack" in which an attacker can effectively confirm whether a target possesses a certain file by encrypting an unencrypted, or plain-text, version and then simply comparing the output with files possessed by the target. This attack poses a problem for a user storing information that is non-unique, i.e. also either publicly available or already held by the adversary - for example: banned books or files that cause copyright infringement. An argument could be made that a confirmation of a file attack is rendered less effective by adding a unique piece of data such as a few random characters to the plain text before encryption; this causes the uploaded file to be unique and therefore results in a unique encrypted file. However, some implementations of convergent encryption where the plain-text is broken down into blocks based on file content, and each block then independently convergently encrypted may inadvertently defeat attempts at making the file unique by adding bytes at the beginning or end.
Even more alarming than the confirmation attack is the "learn the remaining information attack" described by Drew Perttula in 2008. This type of attack applies to the encryption of files that are only slight variations of a public document. For example, if the defender encrypts a bank form including a ten digit bank account number, an attacker that is aware of generic bank form format may extract defender's bank account number by producing bank forms for all possible bank account numbers, encrypt them and then by comparing those encryptions with defender's encrypted file deduce the bank account number. Note that this attack can be extended to attack a large number of targets at once (all spelling variations of a target bank customer in the example above, or even all potential bank customers), and the presence of this problem extends to any type of form document: tax returns, financial documents, healthcare forms, employmen |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic%20forensics | Stochastic forensics is a method to forensically reconstruct digital activity lacking artifacts, by analyzing emergent properties resulting from the stochastic nature of modern computers. Unlike traditional computer forensics, which relies on digital artifacts, stochastic forensics does not require artifacts and can therefore recreate activity which would otherwise be invisible. Its chief application is the investigation of insider data theft.
History
Stochastic forensics was invented in 2010 by computer scientist Jonathan Grier to detect and investigate insider data theft. Insider data theft has been notoriously difficult to investigate using traditional methods, since it does not create any artifacts (such as changes to the file attributes or Windows Registry). Consequently, industry demanded a new investigative technique.
Since its invention, stochastic forensics has been used in real world investigation of insider data theft, been the subject of academic research, and met with industry demand for tools and training.
Origins in statistical mechanics
Stochastic forensics is inspired by the statistical mechanics method used in physics. Classical Newtonian mechanics calculates the exact position and momentum of every particle in a system. This works well for systems, such as the Solar System, which consist of a small number of objects. However, it cannot be used to study things like a gas, which have intractably large numbers of molecules. Statistical mechanics, however, doesn't attempt to track properties of individual particles, but only the properties which emerge statistically. Hence, it can analyze complex systems without needing to know the exact position of their individual particles.
Likewise, modern day computer systems, which can have over states, are too complex to be completely analyzed. Therefore, stochastic forensics views computers as a stochastic process, which, although unpredictable, has well defined probabilistic properties. By analyzing these properties statistically, stochastic mechanics can reconstruct activity that took place, even if the activity did not create any artifacts.
Use in investigating insider data theft
Stochastic forensics chief application is detecting and investigating insider data theft. Insider data theft is often done by someone who is technically authorized to access the data, and who uses it regularly as part of their job. It does not create artifacts or change the file attributes or Windows Registry. Consequently, unlike external computer attacks, which, by their nature, leave traces of the attack, insider data theft is practically invisible.
However, the statistical distribution of filesystems' metadata is affected by such large scale copying. By analyzing this distribution, stochastic forensics is able to identify and examine such data theft. Typical filesystems have a heavy tailed distribution of file access. Copying in bulk disturbs this pattern, and is consequently dete |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter%27s%20Laboratory%3A%20The%20Hip-Hop%20Experiment | Dexter's Laboratory: The Hip-Hop Experiment is a compilation album that features songs by various hip hop artists inspired by the Cartoon Network animated television series Dexter's Laboratory. It was released on August 20, 2002, on CD through Kid Rhino and Atlantic Records and as a limited collector's edition green vinyl. Its release was accompanied by three music videos for the tracks "Back to the Lab" by Prince Paul, "Dexter (What's His Name?)" by Coolio, and "Secrets" by will.i.am.
Promotion
In August 2002, Cartoon Network promoted the soundtrack by releasing three music videos from the original soundtrack. The first, "Back to the Lab" by Prince Paul, debuted on August 16 on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays block, which was entirely devoted to Dexter's Laboratory that night. Two more followed: "Dexter (What's His Name?)" by Coolio and "Secrets" by will.i.am. To further promote the soundtrack, an advertisement for it was shown before The Powerpuff Girls Movie during its theatrical run and on its home media releases. Ads for the album also appeared in commercials for Cartoon Network and in hip-hop magazines such as The Source and Urb. Promotions included Dexter's Laboratory trading cards, books, and Game Boy products.
Reception
The Hip Hop Experiment received universal acclaim from critics who reviewed the album. Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album a positive review, stating that "its only drawback is that it's so short." Coolio, a fan of Dexter's Laboratory, was more than happy to make a song for the soundtrack, stating, "They called me to do a song for Dexter's Laboratory and I didn't really know what I wanted to do at first, but I knew I wanted it to be positive and lively." He then said when it came time for recording he thought it was important to consult the opinions of certain people first: "I had my children in the studio with me. They watch Dexter's Laboratory and they represent the audience for the show, so it made sense to ask them for their opinions. I played them a demo of the songs and they told me what they thought."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox%20Sports%20%28Asian%20TV%20network%29 | Fox Sports Asia (formerly ESPN Star Sports) was a pan-Asian pay television network broadcasting in Asia, operated by Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) Pte. Ltd. It also oversaw a version of Star Sports available in Mainland China and South Korea.
Originally launched in early 1990s as Star Sports (earlier Prime Sports) and ESPN by Satellite Television Asian Region (STAR TV) and ESPN International respectively, both parties agreed to combine their operations in Asia in October 1996. News Corporation took the full control of the venture in 2012, and relaunched the channels in two phases in January 2013 and August 2014, respectively.
History
Early years
Star Sports
Star Sports was first launched on 21 August 1991 as Prime Sports (體育台) with the first programme being New York City US Open Tennis featuring tennis. It was an 24-hour multi-sport television channel broadcasting in English and Chinese. STAR TV, based in Hong Kong, operated the channel in partnership with TCI in the United States, which owned Prime-branded regional sports channels there. The channel was broadcast across the continent of Asia, reaching from the Far East to the Middle East, as with AsiaSat 1's footprint. STAR TV have since regionalised the channel to serve its huge viewerships.
ESPN
ESPN was originally a part of the so-called "Gang of Five", which was a consortium that was set up to compete against STAR TV in the region. (The others in the group were CNN International, HBO, TVB [with TVB Superchannel] and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation [with Australia Television International]) The consortium's channels were initially transmitted via Palapa satellite, but were later also added to Apstar satellite.
Operations combined as ESPN Star Sports
ESPN and Star Sports were competing with each other across Asia, but their businesses were making loss. In October 1996, both channels agreed to combine their operations in the region. The resulting joint venture, later named ESPN Star Sports, was to be headquartered in Singapore (where ESPN's operations in Asia had been based).
On 16 January 1998, a version of Fox Sports was launched in the Middle East, as carried by Star Select. This apparently replaced ESPN STAR Sports in the region, but the pan-Asian version was available via the AsiaSat and Palapa satellites.
Relaunch as Fox Sports
On 6 June 2012, it was announced that News Corporation would buy ESPN International's share in ESPN Star Sports. Later, Star India took over ESPN Star Sports' businesses in India, and relaunched all of its sports channels under the Star Sports brand on 6 November 2013.
In October 2012, Fox Football Channel was launched in Malaysia. The channel ceased transmission in 2015.
On 28 January 2013, ESPN and ESPN HD was relaunched as Fox Sports and Fox Sports Plus HD in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The regional version of ESPNews was relaunched as Fox Sports News, and SportsCenter Asia |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PressureNET | PressureNET was a crowd-sourced reporting network for barometric pressure data.
It worked by having many users install it on cell phones having air pressure sensors (barometers) and GPS sensors. Once the location was known from the GPS data, it was able to send messages back to the server with the air pressure for that location on earth. With enough users running the application it was possible to create useful, global pressure data. It used open source software running on Android phones, to collect data from locations around the world. The data was available on a public website.
With the announcement in September 2014 that the first apple device with a barometer (iPhone 6) was to be released, work started on an edition of the app for that platform The Sunshine app beta testing began to get some publicity in 2015.
The Android App website still exists, and the app source code is still available on GitHub;
however, as of January 2016 there is no support for the Android app, and the iOS app is not free open source software as the PressureNet app was.
PressureNet was acquired by Sunshine in early 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation%20in%20India | Irrigation in India includes a network of major and minor canals from Indian rivers, groundwater well based systems, tanks, and other rainwater harvesting projects for agricultural activities. Of these groundwater system is the largest. In 2013–14, only about 36.7% of total agricultural land in India was reliably irrigated, and remaining 2/3 cultivated land in India is dependent on monsoons. 65% of the irrigation in India is from groundwater. Currently about 51% of the agricultural area cultivating food grains is covered by irrigation. The rest of the area is dependent on rainfall which is most of the times unreliable and unpredictable.
Indian government launched a demand side water management plan costing ₹6000 crore or USD854 million across 8,350 water stressed villages of 78 districts in seven states – Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh – over five years from 2021–2022 to 2026–27, with the view to harvest rainwater, enhance water table, water recharge rate with village panchayat level water management plans. Most of the canal irrigation is in the canal network of Ganges-Yamuna basin mainly in the states of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh and somewhat in Rajasthan and Bihar, while small local canal networks also exist in the south in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. The largest canal in India is Indira Gandhi Canal, which is about 650 km long. India has an ambitious river linking national project to enhance the coverage of canal-irrigated area, reduce floods and water shortage.
Irrigation in India helps improve food security, reduce dependence on monsoons, improve agricultural productivity and create rural job opportunities. Dams used for irrigation projects help produce electricity and transport facilities, as well as provide drinking water supplies to a growing population, control floods and prevent droughts.
History
Ancient India
The earliest mentions of irrigation are found in Rigveda chapters 1.55, 1.85, 1.105, 7.9, 8.69 and 10.101. The Veda mentions only well-style irrigation, where kupa and avata wells once dug are stated to be always full of water, from which varatra (rope strap) and cakra (wheel) pull kosa (pails) of water. This water was, state the Vedas, led into (broad channels) and from there into khanitrima (diverting channels) into fields.
Later, the 4th-century BCE Indian scholar Pāṇini, mentions tapping several rivers for irrigation. The mentioned rivers include Sindhu, Suvastu, Varnu, Sarayu, Vipas and Chandrabhaga. Buddhist texts from the 3rd century BCE also mention irrigation of crops. Texts from the Maurya Empire era (3rd century BCE) mention that the state raised revenue from charging farmers for irrigation services from rivers.
Patanjali, in Yogasutra of about the 4th century CE, explains a technique of yoga by comparing it to "the way a farmer diverts a stream from an irrigation canal for irrigation". In Tamil Nadu, the Grand Anicut (canal) across the Kaver |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North%20Carolina%20School%20Violence%20Prevention%20Act | The North Carolina School Violence Prevention Act was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly in order to protect all North Carolina students, and school employees, from bullying, cyberbullying, and harassment.
The School Violence Prevention Act (SVPA) defines Bullying and harassing behavior as "any pattern of gestures or written, electronic, or verbal communications, or any physical act or any threatening communication, that takes place on school property, at any school-sponsored functions, or on a school bus..."
North Carolina was the first state to enact legislation that protects school employees from bullying by students.
Nationwide youth in schools are experiencing more violent acts and bullying. According to the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Report, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "...16.6% of students had carried a weapon [to school] (e.g., a gun, knife, or club) on at least 1 day during the 30 days before the survey." The results also indicated that 20.1% of students had been bullied on school property during the 12 months before the survey.
Legislative history
In 2007 a number of North Carolina legislators worked to introduce legislation that would create policies for schools regarding bullying and harassment. This act, known as the School Violence Prevention Act, was proposed in the General Assembly of North Carolina as House Bill 1366 in April 2007. It passed the House but was not approved by the Senate. There was controversy surrounding the bill as the wording described classifications of victims and included sexual orientation and gender identity. Many Republican members opposed the bill due to this classification. When it did not pass the Senate, Rick Glazier (D-Cumberland County), the Representative who originated the Bill, requested it be tabled until the next legislative session.
The NC School Violence Prevention Act was introduced back to the legislature on March 11, 2009, as House Bill 548 and was sponsored by Rick Glazier (D-Cumberland County) and as Senate Bill 526, sponsored by Julia Boseman (D-New Hanover County). This time the Act passed albeit by a narrow margin (58 to 57). It was ratified and signed into law by Governor Beverly Perdue in June 2009.
In 2012 Senator Tommy Tucker (R-Union County) introduced amendments and additions to the act renaming it the North Carolina School Violence Prevention Act of 2012. The Act now includes amendments that address computer related crimes (Article 60, General Statutes 14-453) and Cyberbullying penalties (Article 60, General Statutes 14-458). With the rapid changes in technology the Act was also rewritten to include a new section on Cyber-bullying of school employees by students (Article 60, General Statutes 14-458.2)
Violence in North Carolina's Public Schools
In North Carolina, there were 9,834 reported crimes in public schools in 2016–17. The table here shows the total acts of violence and rates for the last nine |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/MSR-T4 | The AN/MSR-T4 Threat Reaction Analysis Indicator System (TRAINS) is a radar receiver/data processing system developed for post-Cold War evaluation of military attack aircraft crews during training missions. TRAINS evaluated the Electronic Warfare Officer or other crewmember's Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) against air defense radar by analyzing "the accuracy and effectiveness of inflight ECM performance for combat aircraft ECM pods and internal ECM suite". The system captured, recorded, and analyzed transmissions (e.g., jamming against a ground radar) from aircraft responding to threats simulated by the US Dynamics AN/MST-T1 Multiple Threat Emitter Simulator (MUTES) to which the TRAINS was slaved for pointing toward the aircraft. TRAINS data identified the EWO's actions, response times, etc.; and the system included a VHF/UHF receiver and training set.
TRAINS was developed under Electronic Systems Division program 806L after the 1991 Gulf War which identified electronic warfare "shortfalls" and was funded for overhaul in 1999 (Defense Systems Inc.added narrowband receivers to the system in 2006.) In 1976, an MS was proposed as an "emitter" in the General Dynamics range design (Range Instrumentation System) for the electronic threat environment at the Hill/Westover/Dugway Ranges ("AFLC Test Range Complex"), and a TRAINS was at the Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idea%20networking | Idea networking is a qualitative method of doing a cluster analysis of any collection of statements, developed by Mike Metcalfe at the University of South Australia. Networking lists of statements acts to reduce them into a handful of clusters or categories. The statements might be source from interviews, text, websites, focus groups, SWOT analysis or community consultation. Idea networking is inductive as it does not assume any prior classification system to cluster the statements. Rather keywords or issues in the statements are individually linked (paired). These links can then be entered into network software to be displayed as a network with clusters. When named, these clusters provide emergent categories, meta themes, frames or concepts which represent, structure or sense-make the collection of statements.
Method
An idea network can be constructed in the following way:
60 to 200 statements are listed and assigned reference numbers.
A table is constructed showing which statements (by reference number) are linked (paired) and why. For example, statement 1 maybe linked to statements 4, 23, 45, 67, 89 and 107 because they all are about the weather (see table).
The number of links per statement should be from 1 to 7; many more will result in a congested network diagram. This means choosing why the statements are linked may need grading as strong or weak, or by sub sets. For example, statements linked as being about weather conditions may be further subdivided into those about good weather, wet weather or bad weather, etc.). This linking is sometimes called 'coding' in thematic analysis which highlights that the statements can be linked for several and different reasons (source, context, time, etc.). There maybe many tens of reasons why statements are linked. The same statements may be linked for different reasons. The number of reasons should not be restricted to low number as so anticipate the resultant clustering.
The reference numbers are put into a network diagramming software, usually in the form of a matrix with the reference numbers along the top and side of the matrix. Each cell will then have a 1 or 0 to indicate whether its row and column reference number are linked.
The software is instructed to draw network diagram using maximum node repulsion. This encourages cluster formation. Around 5 clusters are identified in the network diagram, both visually and using the cluster identification algorithms supplied with the software (e.g. Newnan Girvan sub-groups)
A descriptive collective adjective name is determined for each cluster of statements (a meta narrative, classification name or label).
The list of statements is then reported as being clustered into these five or so cluster names (themes, frames, concepts). For example, one might report that your analysis of the statements shows that those at community meeting were using the concepts of exposure, interaction, safety, light and inspiration in their responses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory%20forensics | Memory forensics is forensic analysis of a computer's memory dump. Its primary application is investigation of advanced computer attacks which are stealthy enough to avoid leaving data on the computer's hard drive. Consequently, the memory (RAM) must be analyzed for forensic information.
History
Zeroth generation tools
Prior to 2004, memory forensics was done on an ad hoc basis, using generic data analysis tools like strings and grep. These tools are not specifically created for memory forensics, and therefore are difficult to use.They also provide limited information. In general, their primary usage is to extract text from the memory dump.
Many operating systems provide features to kernel developers and end-users to actually create a snapshot of the physical memory for either debugging (core dump or Blue Screen of Death) purposes or experience enhancement (Hibernation (computing)). In the case of Microsoft Windows, crash dumps and hibernation had been present since Microsoft Windows NT. Microsoft crash dumps had always been analyzable by Microsoft WinDbg, and Windows hibernation files (hiberfil.sys) are nowadays convertible in Microsoft crash dumps using utilities like MoonSols Windows Memory Toolkit designed by Matthieu Suiche.
First generation tools
In February 2004, Michael Ford introduced memory forensics into security investigations with an article in SysAdmin Magazine. In that article, he demonstrated analysis of a memory based rootkit. The process utilized the existing Linux crash utility as well as two tools developed specifically to recover and analyze the memory forensically, memget and mempeek.
In 2005, DFRWS issued a Memory Analysis Forensics Challenge. In response to this challenge, more tools in this generation, specifically designed to analyze memory dumps, were created. These tools had knowledge of the operating system's internal data structures, and were thus capable of reconstructing the operating system's process list and process information.
Although intended as research tools, they proved that operating system level memory forensics is possible and practical.
Second generation tools
Subsequently, several memory forensics tools were developed intended for practical use. These include both commercial tools like Responder PRO, Memoryze, MoonSols Windows Memory Toolkit, winen, Belkasoft Live RAM Capturer, etc.; open source tools like Volatility. New features have been added, such as analysis of Linux and Mac OS X memory dumps, and substantial academic research has been carried out.
Unlike Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X interest is relatively new and had only been initiated by Matthieu Suiche in 2010 during Black Hat Briefings security conference.
Currently, memory forensics is a standard component of incident response.
Third generation tools
Since 2010, we started to see more utilities focusing on the visualization aspect of memory analysis such as MoonSols LiveCloudKd presented by Matthieu Suiche at Microsoft Blue |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposals%20for%20new%20tram%20lines%20in%20Edinburgh | Various studies, from 1989 onwards, considered the reintroduction of trams to Edinburgh. In 2001, a proposal for a new Edinburgh Trams network envisaged three routes across the city, Lines 1, 2 and 3. Line 1 was a circular route running around the northern suburbs, with the other two forming radial lines running out to Newbridge in the west and to Newcraighall in the south respectively. All lines would run through the city centre.
Line 3 was later shelved due to lack of Scottish Parliament approval. Lines 1 and 2 were combined and split into three phases, with Phase 1 being further divided into Phase 1a and 1b. Phases 1b, 2 and 3 were not funded, and only a truncated section of the planned Phase 1a line (running from the airport to the city centre) has been constructed.
Line 1 (North Edinburgh)
Line 1 was planned to be a circular route with 22 stops running around the northern suburbs, following a route from the City Centre, St Andrew Square, York Place, Picardy Place, down Leith Walk to Leith and Newhaven. The line would then run along the waterfront to Granton, where it would then loop back, taking over the disused Caledonian Railway route between via Crewe Toll to Wester Coates and Haymarket. Upon reaching Haymarket, trams will return to on-street running mode and head back along Princes Street.
Line 1 comprised of on-street track integrated with other traffic, of segregated track running along existing roads, and separate tramway. The on-street sections of track would be in the centre of the road in some locations and at the kerbside in others. On the disused line to Granton, the tram line would be integrated with cycle and pedestrian pathways along the Roseburn wildlife corridor.
In the initial Phase 1a of the project, only the Newhaven-Leith Walk-Princes Street section of this route was included, with trams then continuing west to the airport (Line 2 route). Further construction of the Line 1 loop (Phase 1b of the project) was cancelled in 2009 due to financial constraints, postponing construction of the Haymarket-Granton section of this line indefinitely. Phase 2, which would complete the loop with a line from Granton Square to Newhaven, also remains unfunded.
Line 2 (West Edinburgh)
Line 2 would have been an route from the City Centre out to Edinburgh Airport via Edinburgh Park, with a branch line to Newbridge and a total of 19 stops. The airport route was subsequently incorporated into Phase 1a of the project. The branch to Newbridge is dependent on funding becoming available for Phase 3 of the construction project.
In Phase 1a, from St Andrew Square to Haymarket, a line of on-street track integrates with other traffic along Princes Street and Shandwick Place. At Haymarket station, the tram line diverges from the road and runs down a segregated tramway via Haymarket Yards. The Line 1 branch north towards Granton (Phase 1b) would be located at the bridge over Russell Road. The Phase 1a line continues west, past the Haym |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva%20Nicaragua | Viva Nicaragua is a television station on channel 13 in Nicaragua. The channel also airs a mix of domestic and international programs, mainly consisting of news, lifestyle and sports programming, along with imported programming consisting of films, children's programs and drama series.
History
The television station was awarded in 2011 in a contested battle over the closeness of the winners, Celeste, S.A., to the family of President Daniel Ortega Celeste was used as a figurehead by the government in order to achieve the license. The frequency was formerly used by a relayer of TN8, however a spokesman of the government said that the channel was owned by Venezuelan funds. Despite the mix of programming, Viva Nicaragua's profile was intended to be a news channel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YossarianLives | Yossarian Lives was a metaphorical search engine, a type of Internet search engine. Its algorithms return results that are disparate, but potentially metaphorically related to the user's query. These results are intended to encourage creative thinking and diversity of thought. "We don't want you to know what everyone else knows, we want you to generate new knowledge." The search engine emphasizes new knowledge vs. the reinforcing of existing information. The site works to avoid the "filter bubble" by returning results that are conceptually related but disparate, compared with traditional search engines that return the most popular or common results.
As of 2019, the site went offline. The company was based in London, UK.
History
Yossarian Lives was founded by Daniel Foster-Smith, and J. Paul Neeley in 2011. The idea for the engine came to Foster-Smith and Neeley in February 2011 during a late night conversation while they were students at the Royal College of Art in Design Interactions.
Neeley states that Yossarian Lives aims to find new ways around the "filter bubble," helping people generate new ideas, suggesting that "Search engines make suggestions based on what everyone else has searched for. Instead of inviting us to stretch or grow, these algorithms collapse possibilities."
The ambitions and difficulties of the project have been highlighted by observers. As an example, YossarianLives talks about "The Stephen Fry Problem," an issue where individual users' understanding of particular metaphors vary.
The name of the search engine has been a topic of discussion. According to a New Scientist article, "The name is derived from the anti-hero of the novel Catch-22, as the company wants to solve the catch-22 of existing search engines, which they say help us to access current knowledge but also harm us by reinforcing that knowledge above all else." Neeley defends the name and suggests it is working well for the company. The company outlines several reasons why they love the name, and suggest that on several occasions it has been called the best company name ever.
Features
The site currently uses metaphor to return images that are conceptually related to the query.
A "Resonance" button improves the users search results over time.
Reception
Yossarian Lives has seen coverage in The Observer, WIRED, the New Scientist, the Metro, and the Times of India.
The Observer suggested YossarianLives was "out there" but "if it works, potentially disruptive." A "look the other way" search engine good for "generating ideas."
WIRED has called the engine "the metaphorical google."
In June 2011, Yossarian Lives won a Deutsche Bank Award. The awards provide funding for creative enterprise in the UK.
In November 2011, Yossarian Lives won a placement in Wave IV at InnovationRCA, a James Dyson and NESTA funded incubator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh%20Begley%20%28artist%29 | Josh Begley (born 1984) is an American digital artist known for his data visualizations. He is the creator of Metadata+, an iPhone app that tracked every reported United States drone strike. Begley is the director of two short films, Best of Luck with the Wall (2016) and Concussion Protocol (2018), both produced by Academy Award-winning director Laura Poitras. He is based in Brooklyn, New York.
History
Begley was born in San Francisco, California in 1984. He is a graduate of University of California, Berkeley and the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
In July 2012, Begley developed an iPhone application that would send a push notification every time there was a US drone strike in Pakistan, Yemen, or Somalia. Apple rejected the app three times in the months following its release, calling its content "crude and objectionable". Begley then created Dronestream, a Twitter account chronicling every reported US drone strike, for Douglas Rushkoff's Narrative Lab. It gained 15,000 followers in the first week.
In June 2012, Begley and two other New York University graduate students, Mehan Jayasuriya and James Borda, received a cease and desist letter from Invisible Children for their Kony 2012 parody website, Kickstriker.
In 2014, after five rejections, Apple accepted Begley's iPhone app. It was then approved as Metadata+, before once again being removed by Apple, bringing the total number of rejections to 12. He works at The Intercept with journalists Jeremy Scahill, Glenn Greenwald, and Laura Poitras.
Career
Begley is the director of Best of Luck with the Wall (2016), a documentary short about the geography of the U.S.-Mexico border. It was made with 200,000 satellite images downloaded from Google Maps. It received Honorary Mention at 2017 Prix Ars Electronica and was nominated for an ICP Infinity Award.
In 2018, Begley released his second short film, Concussion Protocol (2018), produced by Academy Award-winning director Laura Poitras. The New Yorker called it "a chasteningly gorgeous accounting of each concussion reported during the current N.F.L. season."
He co-taught a class at Columbia Law School in Fall of 2018.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Hershberger | John E. Hershberger (born 1959) is an American computer scientist and software professional, a principal engineer at Mentor Graphics Corporation since 1993. He is known for his research in computational geometry and algorithm engineering.
Biography
Hershberger did his undergraduate studies at the California Institute of Technology, graduating in 1981. He earned a Ph.D. in Computer science from Stanford University in 1987 under the supervision of Leonidas Guibas. He was a member of the technical staff at the Digital Equipment Corporation Systems Research Center in Palo Alto, California, until 1993, when he joined Mentor Graphics as a software engineer and project leader.
He was program committee chair for the 25th ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry in 2009, and program committee co-chair for the Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX) in 2009.
In 2012 he was elected as a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery "for contributions to geometric computing and to design tools for integrated circuits".
He lives in Tigard, Oregon.
Contributions
Computational geometry
John Hershberger has been a significant contributor to computational geometry and the algorithms community since the mid-1980s. His earliest work focused on shortest paths and visibility. With Leonidas Guibas and by himself, he devised optimal linear-time algorithms to compute visibility polygons, shortest path trees, visibility graphs, and data structures for logarithmic-time shortest path queries in simple polygons. With Jack Snoeyink he extended the algorithms for simple polygons to compute homotopic shortest paths among polygonal obstacles in the plane. He also invented parallel algorithms to solve several shortest path and visibility problems.
One of the most significant achievement of this period is his algorithm (joint work with Subhash Suri) to compute shortest paths among polygonal obstacles in the plane using only O(n log n) time. This algorithm was a vast improvement over the roughly quadratic running time achievable by visibility-graph-based methods, and resolved a problem that had been open and intensely studied for years.
Data structure for "Pedestrian ray shooting", devised by John and Subhash Suri, answers ray shooting queries in a simple polygon. It consists of a special triangulation such that any line segment inside the polygon intersects only O(log n) triangles; ray shoot-ing queries can be answered simply by walking from triangle to triangle until the query ray hits the polygon boundary.
Kinetic data structures, proposed by Leonidas Guibas, Julien Basch and Hershberger, have been and continue to be influential in computational geometry. Working by himself and with a variety of co-authors, John devised kinetic data structures to maintain the extent of moving points; the connected components of moving unit disks, rectangles, and hypercubes; clusters for sets of moving points; and data structures to detect collisions between |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DraCo | The DraCo, also known as DraCo Vision in one of its later models, was a non-linear video editing workstation created by MacroSystem Computer GmbH in 1994, based on the Amiga platform.
History
In Germany, a group of Amiga hardware developers, working for what was called at that time MS MacroSystem Computer GmbH, started to deal with the fact that Commodore was going bankrupt and the supply of Amigas would eventually dry up, finishing their commercial venture. In 1994 MacroSystem took the decision of building an Amiga clone geared towards affordable digital video. The task was accomplished in a period of nine months by a group of sixteen people. After four months they had a booting prototype.
In their design, they integrated, and then, slightly modified most of the hardware devices they already sold in the past, in this new NLE computer.
Hardware
Central processing unit
The CPU card, called Eltanin, was based on the Warp Engine Amiga accelerator board. It featured a 68060 processor with FPU and MMU at 50 MHz and on some special models it used a 68040.
Memory
DraCos had a unified memory architecture. If DraCos are queried on the chipmem they have, they display the video card's framebuffer size (usually 4 MB).
The Eltanin card contains four 72 pin SIMM sockets to hold up to 128 MB of RAM.
Custom chipset
Unlike traditional Amigas, DraCos lack the Amiga custom chipset, and so they rely on software APIs that retarget many hardware functions.
Busboard
The computer bus had some peculiarities. The Rastaban was a passive busboard full of expansion slots (much like S-100 busboards). It had five Zorro II Amiga compatible slots, and three DracoDirect slots.
There was also a special CPU slot for an Alpha processor, that was never released. Zorro II slots offered a fair degree of Amiga compatible hardware options.
On the other side, the DracoDirect slots provided faster speeds and 32-bit transfers, as they were merely created by exposing the majority of the microprocessor signals in those slots.
Graphics
The graphics card, was a slightly modified Retina Z3 now called Altais, that used the DracoDirect slot instead of the Zorro III slot, as it provided faster transfer rates. It was supported by the operating system by the then new CyberGraphX retargetable graphics subsystem.
Sound and video capture
The soundcard and framegrabber (Toccata and Vlab Motion cards) were optionals, and were eventually built together in a standalone DracoDirect card called Dracomotion.
Storage
DraCos featured a Fast SCSI II interface to provide fast disk access with minimum CPU usage (transfer speeds were approximately 9 MB per second). An internal 50 pin and an external sub D 25 pin connectors were both present. The SCSI interface and its custom logic were built into the Eltanin board.
Casing
The case was a standard PC AT one, later replaced by a "cube" shaped one, which provided more space, better shielding and improved PSU. The marketing goal behind this case cha |

Production and development
From the creative engineering of RJ Nuevas, the series was conceived late 2012. Early in its development, the series was titled "Tatlong Ina, Isang Anak" (lit. Three Mothers, One Child). It was changed to Bukod Kang Pinagpala (lit. You're the Most Blessed One, a phrase usually referring to Mama Mary), following its concept "The greatest kind of love is the love a mother has for her child." Winnie Hollis-Reyes served as the executive producer, while Don Michael Perez assigned to direct the show.
The majority of the ensemble cast was personally chosen by the network and assembled from December 2012 to January 2013. Actresses Camille Prats, Jackie Rice and Jennica Garcia headlined the show as the three mothers fighting for the custody of a child – Lara, played by Mona Louise Rey. The said role was originally meant for Jillian Ward but later replaced by Rey because "She's more fit for the role." Mark Anthony Fernandez, who had previously worked with Prats and Rey on the 2011 hit primetime series Munting Heredera, was cast as the sole male lead.
As the show progressed, numerous recurring casts appeared. Carl Guevarra, Krystal Reyes, singer-actress Frencheska Farr and Japanese actor/producer Jacky Woo signed on to portray four important characters in the show. Glenda Garcia, Sharmaine Suarez and Anna Marin took the parental roles and made several appearances throughout the series' run. Series' director Don Michael Perez stated that "despite the series' title, no "chosen" character is given more exposure than the other members of the cast, from writing to the directing."
Filming of the series began on February 1, 2013. Most |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika%20to%20Satoru%20no%20Yume%20B%C5%8Dken | is a 1988 Japan-exclusive adventure video game for the Family Computer. The setting of this game is 20th century Japan.
Two-player adventure games were seen as very rare at the time of the game's release; even in Japan. However, only one person could partake in the animal quiz portion. Failing the quiz will force the player(s) to start from the beginning.
It is one of the few games for the Family Computer to use the Namco 163 wavetable sound chip, and is also one of the games that enables all eight sound channels provided by the chip, the other being King of Kings.
The end of the game contains an easter egg in the form of a developer's lengthy profane complaint about his coworkers' behaviour, which can be triggered at the game's ending after a series of button presses.
Gameplay
Erika and her brother Satoru are siblings who live together in a normal Japanese house. One night, a cat-like being gave them a mission to search for a powerful crown that will alter time and space for the person who possesses it. Players are forced to control both Erika and Satoru simultaneously, causing them to interact with their surroundings at the same time. In-game activities that require two players include shoplifting and eliminating locusts.
Interacting with characters and doing their quests will bring players one step closer to retrieving the Time Crown, the item needed to win the game. Manipulating items will allow players to solve the quests. Teamwork becomes important as one character cannot solve certain tasks without the other being present. A player using the second controller can also control one of the characters, freeing up responsibilities from the player using the main controller. When a player visits a landmark on the map, the view switches from a bird's eye view to a first-person perspective. A map where the buildings and surroundings are is always shown, except during storyline sequences and when players need to interact with their surroundings.
There are five different chapters in the game. Once the player completes the third chapter, the difficulty level becomes drastically harder. Satoru has the weakness of being able to drown, unlike his sister Erika, who can swim in the water levels of the game. Players may use Erika and prevent Satoru from drowning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian%20Coalition%20for%20Global%20Health%20Research | The Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research is a Canada-based global network of people and institutions committed to promoting better and more equitable health worldwide through the production and use of knowledge.
History
The Coalition, a registered Canadian charity and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, began in 2001 as an informal network and has evolved through generous support from the Canadian International Development Agency, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Health Canada, the International Development Research Centre and other foundations.
Among the many, few of the facts that provoked founders of the Coalition to start this initiative were:
Global Health Inequities: Millions of people worldwide do not have access to essential health services. For example, each year 8 million children die needlessly and half a million mothers die unnecessarily during pregnancy;
The 'Know-Do' Gap: Much knowledge about what could make a difference is available, but individuals and institutions in developing countries often do not have access to this information, or lack the capacity to apply this knowledge.
The '10/90' Gap: According to the Global Forum for Health Research, only 10% of the world's health research funding goes towards addressing the most pressing health issues affecting the poorest 90% of the world's population.
Limited Linkages between Researchers and Policymakers: There are few incentives for individual researchers to connect their knowledge with larger processes. Researchers often believe that their work is finished when it is published. Similarly, policymakers often do not seek out existing knowledge that may be of critical value to their policies.
Lack of Capacities: Capacities to produce and use health knowledge, at the individual, institutional and system levels in developing countries, are weak.
Need for greater coordination amongst Canadians: Canada has tremendous and unique expertise and resources to address these issues, but Canadian efforts are often fragmented.
Focus
With a general orientation towards the health-research challenges in low- and middle income countries (LMICs), and guided by the overarching goal of reducing disparities in health outcomes, the Coalition focuses on:
strengthening the capacity of global health researchers, institutions and systems
actively coordinating, brokering, partnering, mentoring and facilitating among global, national and local actors
influencing the policy process within and between high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
strengthening a network of connected, dynamic members in Canada, LMICs and HICs
incubating teams (groups) pursuing a particular global health research issue and then devolving responsibilities to HIC and LMIC institutions
learning lessons, thinking evaluatively, and communicating its work

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RainStor | RainStor was a software company that developed a database management system of the same name, designed to manage and analyze big data for large enterprises. It used de-duplication techniques to organize the process of storing excessive amounts of data for reference. The company originated as a project by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence to store volumes of data from years of field operations for ongoing analysis and training purposes.
RainStor was headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, with R&D in Gloucester, United Kingdom.
The company was acquired by Teradata in 2014 , and in December 2016 Teradata removed Rainstor from its portfolio.
History
RainStor, originally named Clearpace, was founded in 2002 in the United Kingdom. The company was originally created to exploit technology that was developed by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence to store big data under the brand name DeX. The company rebranded DeX as NParchive, which deduplicated and archived rarely used data, in 2008.
The company and product were renamed to RainStor (a portmanteau of relational archiving infrastructure storage) in December 2009, coinciding with a move of the management office from the United Kingdom to San Francisco. The release of version 3.5 of RainStor software, announced in May 2009, coincided with the company's rebranding. RainStor received $7.5 million in venture funding from Storm Ventures, Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures, Informatica, and The Dow Company in March 2010.
In 2011, it received some marketing awards.
In October 2012, RainStor received $12 million in venture funding from Credit Suisse, Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures, Storm Ventures, the Dow Chemical Company, and Rogers Venture Partners. In October 2012, the company reported over 100 clients, including government agencies and telecommunications and finance companies, and in 2014, Teradata acquired RainStor.
Product
RainStor provided software for query and analysis against large volumes of machine-generated data and an online data archive for regulatory compliance data retention.
In October 2012, RainStor held two patents and was pursuing five additional patents.
The database uses a row/columnar hybrid repository. The archived data is accessed using Structured Query Language (SQL). RainStor software uses partition filtering, which excludes certain records from processing.
RainStor runs on Apache Hadoop. In June 2013, RainStor released version 5.5 of its software, which added user authentication protocols, access controls and policies, data encryption and user activity logs.
In May 2014, the company announced protection for data from manipulation, malicious attacks, breaches, or deletion.
Since Teradata removed Rainstor from its portfolio in December 2016, it is no longer being developed or marketed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postsecondary%20Education%20Readiness%20Test | The Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) is a computer adaptive test which measures a student's level of preparedness for college-level courses. The test is currently being used by all Florida high schools and the 28 members of the Florida College System. The PERT was created by McCann Associates in cooperation with Florida educators. The test is divided into three sections: Mathematics, Reading, and Writing.
History
Florida Section 1008.30 of the Florida Statutes, first implemented in 1992 by the Florida Legislature, required the State Board of Education to create and implement a common placement-testing program to determine the readiness of students to enter a degree program at any public college or university. In October 2010 the Florida Department of Education's Division of Florida Colleges implemented one of the first customized college placement tests developed by a team of K-12 and college faculty. The process began in April 2008, when, on the recommendation of the Go Higher Florida! task force and with the support of Commissioner Eric Smith, Florida joined Achieve's American Diploma Project network. In September 2008, as an initial step in aligning high school exit and college entry expectations, the Division of Florida Colleges held a workshop for English/language arts and mathematics K-20 faculty from across the state.
The participants reviewed the American Diploma Project (ADP) benchmarks, identifying the competencies they deemed critical to college readiness in entry-level math and English and locating the gaps between academic preparation in the schools and postsecondary expectations. This endeavor resulted in Florida's Postsecondary Readiness Competencies (PRCs), which were then aligned with the K-12 Sunshine State Standards through a joint effort between the department and Achieve.
The Postsecondary Readiness Competencies then drove the specifications for a new statewide college placement test. Members of the original faculty pool that identified the PRCs reconvened in April 2009 to develop test items for each of the English/language arts and math sections. These faculty experts chose items that covered each competency, ensuring that the items chosen were representative of the knowledge that incoming college freshmen needed to possess in order to be successful in entry-level college courses without the need for remediation. The PRCs and the exemplar items were included in information provided to potential vendors, who were invited to submit sample test questions based upon the work of the faculty.
All submitted proposals were reviewed by three separate review committees: a content review team, a technical review team, and a negotiation team. The faculty from the original working group that had identified the critical competencies and developed the exemplars were called upon to staff the content review team. They were charged with reviewing and rating the vendor's sample questions for item alignment and item quality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude%20Removal | "Rude Removal" (also known as Dexter's Rude Removal) is a cartoon episode originally produced in 1997 for the animated television series Dexter's Laboratory for Cartoon Network. It was intended to air as part of the second season, but was left unaired due to the characters swearing even though the swear words were censored. In the segment, Dexter and Dee Dee are accidentally split into two pairs, a polite pair and a rude pair, with the latter depicted as using profanity with bleep censorship. The segment was only screened at some animation festivals before finally being released online by Adult Swim on January 22, 2013.
Plot
Dexter invents the Rude Removal System, a machine to remove the rudeness from his sister Dee Dee. However, Dee Dee thinks Dexter is the one who is rude. They start fighting and both wind up in the machine. Inadvertently, the Rude Removal System is activated, splitting the pair into well-behaved and rude halves, with the well behaved duplicates speaking with English accents, and the rude duplicates speaking with New York City accents while using profanity. The rude pair harbors destructive tendencies by insulting their mother and destroying the house and Dexter's lab. Dexter and Dee Dee trick their rude halves back into the Rude Removal System and reverse the process, combining the rude and polite halves and resolving the problem. The segment ends with Dexter and Dee Dee's mother holding a bar of soap, poised to wash the filthy words from their mouths before it cuts to black.
Production
The "Rude Removal" segment was produced during the second season of Dexter's Laboratory in 1997, and features a seven-minute runtime. It was directed by Rob Renzetti and storyboarded by Chong Lee and Craig McCracken, the latter of whom did confirm that he never had a copy, and neither did creator Genndy Tartakovsky. Main cast member Jeff Bennett did not participate in a voice role throughout this segment. The segment was never broadcast on television. Series creator Genndy Tartakovsky commented that "standards didn't like it". Linda Simensky, then-vice president of original programming for Cartoon Network, said "I still think it's very funny. It probably would air better late at night." After being asked about it on his Tumblr page, Calvin Wong, writer and storyboard artist for Regular Show, said that Cartoon Network denied that it was in their media library. The title card depicted Dee Dee giving the finger, and Dexter mooning at the audience.
Screenings and release
Despite never airing on television, "Rude Removal" did see limited showing at certain animation festivals and conventions, including an event at the 1998 World Animation Celebration on February 21, 1998. Tartakovsky would sometimes show the cartoon when he spoke in public. One such showing occurred during a lecture given at the Rhode Island School of Design on November 15, 2008. He was asked about the segment during a Reddit AMA in October 2012, and he replied "Next time I do |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platoon%20%281987%20video%20game%29 | Platoon is an action game developed by Ocean Software and published by Data East for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari ST, Commodore 64, PC DOS and ZX Spectrum in 1987–1988. The NES version was ported and published by Sunsoft in September 1988. It was the first video game adaptation of the 1986 war film Platoon, followed by the 2002 game.
Gameplay
In Stage 1, the player is in a jungle with a side-scrolling element. The player is able to navigate vertically and horizontally through the screens. The player must also avoid getting hit by enemies, landing on explosive mines, as well as dodge any booby traps in the way. The goal of the first stage is to find the explosives buried deep within the jungle and then navigate out and plant the explosives on the bridge. After planting the explosives, the player will be in a town and must find a torch and a map of the tunnel system for the next level.
In Stage 2, the player is now in a tunnel system and the point of view has changed to a first-person shooter. The player is able to navigate through the tunnel system using the map obtained earlier in stage 1. The player must navigate through the tunnel system and collect flares and a compass along the way. Enemies will continuously appear on the screen and the player must kill them quickly in order to advance through the tunnel system.
In Stage 3, the player is stuck in a bunker overnight that is under constant siege by enemy AI. The player must use flares obtained in the tunnel system in order to see enemy AI outside the bunker to be able to shoot them. The player is still in first-person mode and must navigate the cross-hair onto the enemy players in order to shoot at them. A skilled player could make out the silhouettes of enemies amongst the background without the need for flares. As long as the player survives the siege, the level will be successfully completed by the player.
In Stage 4, the player is now navigating through the jungle in a third-person view. The player has 4 minutes to complete this level and must navigate through the jungle while killing enemies as well as avoiding sniper fire. The compass obtained in the tunnel system is used here to help the player navigate through the jungle. At the end of the jungle is the game's boss, Sergeant Barnes, who is holed up in a brick bunker and shooting at the player. The player must be able to land five grenade shots to defeat Sergeant Barnes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure%20Time%20%28short%20film%29 | "Adventure Time" is an animated short film created by Pendleton Ward, as well as the pilot to the Cartoon Network series of the same name. The short follows the adventures of Pen (voiced by Zack Shada), a human boy, and his best friend Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Pen and Jake have to rescue Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Paige Moss) from the antagonistic Ice King (voiced by John Kassir).
"Adventure Time" first aired on Nicktoons on January 11, 2007, and later was showed in Fred Seibert's Random! Cartoons series showcase on December 7, 2008, subsequently leading to the creation of the animated series. It was nominated for an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject. The short and the later-produced television series share elements, but the two differ slightly in setting, conception and continuity, especially in regard to the post-apocalyptic setting, which is only featured in the television series.
Plot
The short focused on a boy named Pen (later renamed Finn in the television series) and a dog named Jake as they learn from the Rainicorn that the Ice King has kidnapped Princess Bubblegum, in the hope of marrying her. Declaring that it's "Adventure Time", Pen and Jake set off to the Ice King's mountain lair. Pen and the Ice King fight while Jake remains outside flirting with Lady Rainicorn, ignoring the battle. Just when Pen seems to be gaining the upper hand, the Ice King uses his "frozen lightning bolts" to freeze Pen in a block of ice. For unexplained reasons, this transports Pen's mind back in time, and to Mars, where he has a short motivational conversation with Abraham Lincoln. After being told to believe in himself, Pen's mind is returned to the present, where he breaks out of the ice, just in time to see the Ice King fly away with Princess Bubblegum. Chasing after him using Jake's extendable legs, Pen rescues the princess from the Ice King's grasp. Jake pushes the magical crown off the Ice King's head, thereby removing the King's source of power. The Ice King then plummets off screen, yelling a long list of complex threats of things he will do when he returns. The story closes with Princess Bubblegum giving Pen a kiss; he enjoys it, but is also greatly embarrassed by the act. He attempts to leave, but Jake claims that they have nowhere else to go and that there are no adventures that need them. However, some nearby ninjas are stealing an old man's diamonds, and they both run off in pursuit.
Characters
Pen (voiced by Zack Shada) – An enthusiastic twelve-year-old boy with a strong sense of justice, and one of the two main protagonists of the short. According to Ward, he is "a little boy" who is "just hanging out". For the television series, he was renamed to Finn; the character would also go on to be voiced by Zack's younger brother Jeremy Shada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCandless%20%28surname%29 | McCandless is a Scots-Irish surname. It is derived from the Gaelic meaning 'son of Cuindleas', a given name of uncertain meaning. In historical census and other data, the name is mostly confined to the province of Ulster, especially County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland, and counties Antrim, Down, and Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland. The name is closely related to McCandlish (from the same derivation but primarily found in Scotland). McCandless has also been attested in Scotland. It is etymologically but probably not familially related to the western Irish ('descendant of Cuindleas'), a literary family of Uí Maine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KredoBank | PJSC "KredoBank" (Ukrainian: АТ "Кредобанк") is the bank with the largest Polish investment in banking institution in Ukraine. Kredobank's national network contains 88 outlets throughout Ukraine. 100% of Kredobank's shares belong to PKO Bank Polski, the biggest bank of Poland. KREDOBANK is a member of the Independent Association of Ukrainian banks and European Business Association. Also, Kredobank is a member of such international payment systems, as MasterCard Worldwide, Visa International and the Deposit Guarantee Fund. The bank has the highest national credit rank - uaAAA by Standart-Rating and Expert-Rating rating agencies.
History
The public joint-stock company Kredobank, the successor of JSC Kredyt Bank (Ukraine) and JSC West-Ukrainian Commercial Bank (ZUKB), was established in Lviv and was registered as a limited liability company in the State Bank of the former USSR on 14 May 1990 (registration number 289) and re-registered with the National Bank of Ukraine on 14 October 1991 (registration number 24). On 21 February 1992 at the General Shareholders Meeting ZUKB transformed into open joint-stock company (bank registration certificate number 96 on 31 March 1992). According to the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting on 17 August 2001 the bank changed its name from JSC West-Ukrainian Commercial Bank to JSC Kredyt Bank (Ukraine), and therefore the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting on 26 October 2001 made the appropriate changes in the Charter of the bank. In 2004, the process of changing the strategic investor of JSC Kredyt Bank (Ukraine) has been finished. There was the sale of shares (whole package - 66.65%) of Kredyt Bank SA (Warsaw) in Warsaw, in favor of the most powerful Polish bank PKO Bank Polski SA. As a result, the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of JSC Kredyt Bank (Ukraine) was held on 17 November 2005, where shareholders approved replacing the old name of the bank by new one, which is the open joint-stock company Kredobank. On 1 March 2006 the bank officially changed its name to PJSC Kredobank.
Since September 2013, the bank has been rebranded. On 5 September the updated logo of the bank was presented. The new logo of Kredobank, made in the corporate style of the strategic investor of the bank - the largest bank in Poland PKO Bank Polski SA, symbolizes the European approach to the conditions and standards of customer service, and in the future - simplification of the processes of providing banking services.
The service network of Kredobank is 82 branches in 22 regions of Ukraine and in Kyiv. Net assets as of 1 July 2021 amounted to ₴27,339.6 million, by their size Kredobank is one of the twenty largest banks in Ukraine. Net profit as of 1 July 2021 amounted to more than ₴423.9 million, by its size Kredobank is also among the twenty most profitable banks in Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate%20%28degree%29 | Candidate (Latin candidatus or candidata) is the name of various academic degrees, which are today mainly awarded in Scandinavia. The degree title was phased out in much of Europe through the 1999 Bologna Process, which has re-formatted academic degrees in Europe.
The degrees are now, or were once, awarded in the Nordic countries, the Soviet Union, the Netherlands, and Belgium. In Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, a higher professional-level degree usually corresponds to 5–7 years of studies. In the Soviet states, a research degree was roughly equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy degree. In the Netherlands and Belgium, it was an undergraduate first-cycle degree roughly comparable with the bachelor's degree.
Etymology and origins
The term is derived from the Latin candida, meaning white. In Ancient Rome, men running for political office would typically wear togas chalked and bleached to be bright white at speeches, debates, conventions, and other public functions. The term candidate thus came to mean someone who seeks an office of some sort.
Today, the degrees continue to be referred to by their Latin title, with male recipients of candidate degrees being called candidates and female recipients candidates. The degree titles are typically abbreviated; for example, a Candidatus juris is commonly referred to as cand.jur.
Use by region
Scandinavia
In Scandinavia, the term was introduced in the early 18th century and initially referred to the higher degrees in theology, law, and medicine. A candidate's degree in the relevant field (e.g., Candidate of Law) was a requirement for appointment to higher offices in the state administration (embedded), including as priests, judges, other state officials, and doctors. In Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the term "candidate" was eventually used for higher professional academic degrees, usually awarded after around 5–7 years of studies. In Norway, only a few Candidate's degrees (such as Candidate of Theology, Candidate of Medicine, and Candidate of Psychology) are still awarded, while in Denmark and Sweden, all Candidate's degrees are retained.
In Denmark, educational reforms began in 1993 to make bachelor's and master's degrees commonly available as a two-step alternative to the Candidate's degree. Despite these reforms, the candidate degree was regarded as the standard academic qualification well into the 21st century. In 2010, the majority of students completing the required amount of studies necessary for a bachelor's degree continued with their studies to be awarded a candidate's degree, or equivalent, instead. Because most students continue to achieve this level of study, the labor market in Denmark does not respect bachelor's degrees as a first-cycle degree. Many institutions in Denmark which no longer offer the candidate degree as a result of the Bologna Process continue to offer joint bachelor-masters programs which last five years, just as the candidate degree had.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social%20media%20intelligence | Social media intelligence (SMI or SOCMINT) refers to the collective tools and solutions that allow organizations to analyze conversations, respond to social signals and synthesize social data points into meaningful trends and analysis, based on the user's needs. Social media intelligence allows one to utilize intelligence gathering from social media sites, using both intrusive or non-intrusive means, from open and closed social networks. This type of intelligence gathering is one element of OSINT (Open- Source Intelligence).
The term was coined in a 2012 paper written by Sir David Omand, Jamie Bartlett and Carl Miller for the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media, at the London-based think tank, Demos.
The authors argued that social media is now an important part of intelligence and security work, but that technological, analytical and regulatory changes are needed before it can be considered a powerful new form of intelligence, including amendments to the United Kingdom Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
Given the dynamic evolution of social media and social media monitoring, our current understanding of how social media monitoring can help organisations to create business value is inadequate. As a result, there is a need to study how organisations can (a) extract and analyse social media data related to their business (Sensing), and (b) utilise external intelligence gained from social media monitoring for specific business initiatives (Seizing).
Research shows that various social media platforms on Internet such as Twitter, Tumblr (micro-blogging websites), Facebook (a popular social networking website), YouTube (largest video sharing and hosting website), Blogs and discussion forums are being misused by extremist groups for spreading their beliefs and ideologies, promoting radicalization, recruiting members and creating online virtual communities sharing a common agenda. Popular microblogging websites such as Twitter are being used as a real-time platform for information sharing and communication during planning and mobilization of civil unrest related events.
In a broad sense, social media refers to a conversational, distributed mode of content generation, dissemination, and communication among communities. Different from broadcast-based traditional and industrial media, social media has torn down the boundaries between authorship and readership, while the information consumption and dissemination process is becoming intrinsically intertwined with the process of generating and sharing information.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java%20bytecode | In computing, Java bytecode is the bytecode-structured instruction set of the Java virtual machine (JVM), a virtual machine that enables a computer to run programs written in the Java programming language and several other programming languages, see List of JVM languages.
Relation to Java
A Java programmer does not need to be aware of or understand Java bytecode at all. However, as suggested in the IBM developerWorks journal, "Understanding bytecode and what bytecode is likely to be generated by a Java compiler helps the Java programmer in the same way that knowledge of assembly helps the C or C++ programmer."
Instruction set architecture
The JVM is both a stack machine and a register machine. Each frame for a method call has an "operand stack" and an array of "local variables". The operand stack is used for operands to computations and for receiving the return value of a called method, while local variables serve the same purpose as registers and are also used to pass method arguments. The maximum size of the operand stack and local variable array, computed by the compiler, is part of the attributes of each method. Each can be independently sized from 0 to 65535 values, where each value is 32 bits. and types, which are 64 bits, take up two consecutive local variables (which need not be 64-bit aligned in the local variables array) or one value in the operand stack (but are counted as two units in the depth of the stack).
Instruction set
Each bytecode is composed of one byte that represents the opcode, along with zero or more bytes for operands.
Of the 256 possible byte-long opcodes, , 202 are in use (~79%), 51 are reserved for future use (~20%), and 3 instructions (~1%) are permanently reserved for JVM implementations to use. Two of these (impdep1 and impdep2) are to provide traps for implementation-specific software and hardware, respectively. The third is used for debuggers to implement breakpoints.
Instructions fall into a number of broad groups:
Load and store (e.g. aload_0, istore)
Arithmetic and logic (e.g. ladd, fcmpl)
Type conversion (e.g. i2b, d2i)
Object creation and manipulation (new, putfield)
Operand stack management (e.g. swap, dup2)
Control transfer (e.g. ifeq, goto)
Method invocation and return (e.g. invokespecial, areturn)
There are also a few instructions for a number of more specialized tasks such as exception throwing, synchronization, etc.
Many instructions have prefixes and/or suffixes referring to the types of operands they operate on. These are as follows:
For example, iadd will add two integers, while dadd will add two doubles. The const, load, and store instructions may also take a suffix of the form _n, where n is a number from 0–3 for load and store. The maximum n for const differs by type.
The const instructions push a value of the specified type onto the stack. For example, iconst_5 will push an integer (32 bit value) with the value 5 onto the stack, while dconst_1 will push a double (64 bit fl |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love%27s%20Labours%20Lost%20in%20Space | "Love's Labours Lost in Space" is the fourth episode in the first season of the American animated television series Futurama. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 13, 1999. The episode was written by Brian Kelley and directed by Brian Sheesley. This episode introduces the recurring character Zapp Brannigan when he attempts to prevent the Planet Express crew from completing their mission. It also introduces the characters of Kif Kroker, Brannigan's aide, and Nibbler, whom Leela adopts as a pet.
Plot
Leela has had a series of unsuccessful dates (her latest being the one from the cold opening where the date is initially going well until she discovers her date's "vile lizard tongue"), so Amy and the others take her to The Hip Joint to meet eligible bachelors. While everyone else leaves with a date, Leela rejects several prospective companions and leaves alone.
The next day, Professor Farnsworth sends the crew on a "tax-deductible mission of charity": the uninhabited planet Vergon 6 has been mined hollow for its dark matter, an incredibly dense substance that is valued as starship fuel, and its imminent collapse will render all of the native animal species extinct. Farnsworth instructs the crew to recover two of each kind of animal native to the planet for breeding purposes à la Noah's Ark.
As the crew arrives in the Vergon system, they find a security cordon put in place around the planet by the starship Nimbus, which Leela recognizes as the flagship of famed space captain Zapp Brannigan. Upon docking with the ship and coming aboard, the Planet Express crew meet Zapp and his long-suffering executive officer, Lieutenant Kif Kroker. Though Leela is initially flattered to meet Zapp, relations later turn sour when Zapp rejects Leela's request for help in saving the animals of Vergon 6; the Democratic Order of Planets (D.O.O.P.) has declared Vergon 6 restricted, as interfering with undeveloped worlds is forbidden (even though it was a D.O.O.P. mining crew that mined it hollow in the first place). When Leela defies Zapp's orders to stay away from Vergon 6, Zapp throws the Planet Express crew in prison.
At night, Zapp summons Leela to his chambers, where she rebuffs his poor attempts at seduction. When Leela declares that she would rather be in prison than "spend an evening with the Zapper", Zapp breaks down crying, saying that he feels lonely in his job and that he had hoped Leela, a fellow captain, would understand. Overcome with pity, Leela eventually has sex with Zapp, but wakes up the next morning in horror after she realizes what has happened. As Leela tries to sneak away, Zapp lets her go, releases the crew and allows them to travel to Vergon 6, believing that Leela will crawl back to him.
While collecting the animals on their checklist, the crew discovers a small black creature with a third eye on a stalk attached to its head. Even though it is not on the list, Leela decides to rescue it as well, names it N |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA%20digital%20data%20storage | DNA digital data storage is the process of encoding and decoding binary data to and from synthesized strands of DNA.
While DNA as a storage medium has enormous potential because of its high storage density, its practical use is currently severely limited because of its high cost and very slow read and write times.
In June 2019, scientists reported that all 16 GB of text from the English Wikipedia had been encoded into synthetic DNA. In 2021, scientists reported that a custom DNA data writer had been developed that was capable of writing data into DNA at 18 Mbps.
Encoding methods
Countless methods for encoding data in DNA are possible. The optimal methods are those that make economical use of DNA and protect against errors. If the message DNA is intended to be stored for a long period of time, for example, 1,000 years, it is also helpful if the sequence is obviously artificial and the reading frame is easy to identify.
Encoding text
Several simple methods for encoding text have been proposed. Most of these involve translating each letter into a corresponding "codon", consisting of a unique small sequence of nucleotides in a lookup table. Some examples of these encoding schemes include Huffman codes, comma codes, and alternating codes.
Encoding arbitrary data
To encode arbitrary data in DNA, the data is typically first converted into ternary (base 3) data rather than binary (base 2) data. Each digit (or "trit") is then converted to a nucleotide using a lookup table. To prevent homopolymers (repeating nucleotides), which can cause problems with accurate sequencing, the result of the lookup also depends on the preceding nucleotide. Using the example lookup table below, if the previous nucleotide in the sequence is T (thymine), and the trit is 2, the next nucleotide will be G (guanine).
Various systems may be incorporated to partition and address the data, as well as to protect it from errors. One approach to error correction is to regularly intersperse synchronization nucleotides between the information-encoding nucleotides. These synchronization nucleotides can act as scaffolds when reconstructing the sequence from multiple overlapping strands.
In vivo
The genetic code within living organisms can potentially be co-opted to store information. Furthermore synthetic biology can be used to engineer cells with "molecular recorders" to allow the storage and retrieval of information stored in the cell's genetic material. CRISPR gene editing can also be used to insert artificial DNA sequences into the genome of the cell. For encoding developmental lineage data (molecular flight recorder), roughly 30 trillion cell nuclei per mouse * 60 recording sites per nucleus * 7-15 bits per site yields about 2 TeraBytes per mouse written (but only very selectively read).
