https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott%20Ambrose%20Reilly | Scott Ambrose Reilly is a music executive whose expertise is in the digital music field. Since 2000, Reilly has held senior positions in digital music companies such as Digital Club Network, eMusic and Amazon. He is currently CEO of X5 Music Group. When Reilly exited Amazon's music division for its Kindle unit, his farewell letter to peers was leaked to the media and widely circulated for criticism of many in the established music industry.
Career
Artist management
Raised in San Diego, California, Scott Ambrose Reilly started his music career as a fan, and spent much of the late 1980s following artists such as Mojo Nixon to gigs. Nixon soon hired him to help on tour, and from there he became Nixon's long-term manager. He also appeared in the choir of several of his psychobilly albums, such as 1989's Root Hog or Die.
From 1986 to 1999 Reilly owned and operated Bullethead Management in the greater New York City area. The company grew from being a one-man artist management practice to having twelve employees and over 20 clients, including Mojo Nixon, Dash Rip Rock and Fred Eaglesmith. Reilly began using BBC systems to sell concert tickets online, and regularly attended concerts such as SXSW. In the 1990s he began managing the band God Street Wine, who were early adopters of internet promotion. They launched a website in 1994, also selling tickets and mp3s online.
Digital Club Network
In 2000 Reilly became executive director of Digital Club Festival, the four-day launch event for Digital Club Network, or DCN. DCN was a New York-based website that webcast live from 54 music venues across the country, making it the world's largest webcaster of live music at the time. Digital Club Network also offered paid music downloads and a few live CDs by artists such as the Meat Puppets on its own label.
From 2000 to 2003 he was Senior VP of venue/artist licensing and relations of DCN, and he became president in 2003. In 2004 he oversaw DCN's acquisition by eMusic. Reilly was named Senior VP of Content Acquisition and Label Relations, and the eMusic catalog grew from 400,000 tracks to 1.5million tracks, making it the largest DRM-free catalog in the world.
While at eMusic from 2004 to 2006, Reilly also became president of eMusicLive and helped develop eMusicLive's "See a Show, Buy a Show" (SASBAS) technology, where the company recorded the live performances of consenting artists, then instantly burned CDs to sell alongside band merchandise. eMusicLive was the first company to have permanent fixtures in multiple clubs in a single city.
Amazon.com
Amazon MP3
In September 2006, he moved to Seattle to oversee the launched of Amazon MP3 in the United States, England, Denmark, France, Austria, Switzerland, and China. Hired as senior manager of digital music at Amazon.com, Reilly oversaw content deals, operations and helped maintain relationships with labels.
Amazon MP3 became iTune's most aggressive competitor, building a DRM-free catalog of more than 15 milli |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM3LABS | LM3LABS is a start-up company that develops hardware and software for motion-based control of computers.
History
LM3Labs was founded in 2004 to commercialize products that use technologies developed in part at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). These technologies use finger tracking, gesture interaction, body interaction, and eye and face recognition to provide interaction with computer systems by gestures instead of through hardware such as keyboards and mice. The prototype installation was installed in the executive showroom at the headquarters of mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo.
Computer interactivity
The technologies developed by LM3LABS combine active and passive gesture recognition with displays to present and control information. One system, called Catchyoo, controls digital signage to track user interaction with advertisements. The company has also introduced AirStrike, which allows touchless gesture control of computers such moving a window or turning a page. They have also demonstrated combining Airstrike with a holographic display to create an interactive hologram.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GARR | GARR (Gruppo per l'Armonizzazione delle Reti della Ricerca) is the Italian national computer network for universities and research. The main objective of GARR is to design and manage a very high-performance network infrastructure that delivers advanced services to the Italian academic and scientific community. The GARR network is connected to other national research and education networks in Europe and the world, is an integral part of the global Internet, and thereby promotes the exchange and collaboration between researchers, teachers and students worldwide.
History
The GARR network originates from the wish to unify and harmonise the previously existing different data networks of research centres and universities. The first single network was built in 1991, thanks to the efforts of the Group for Harmonisation of Research Networks (GARR), which was created in the late 1980s to represent the world of research organizations and universities. The current network is designed and managed by Consortium GARR, an association incorporated in 2001 under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, whose founders are CNR, ENEA, INFN and the CRUI (Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities) Foundation as the representative of all Italian universities. Consortium GARR has its headquarters in Rome in the street where the headquarters of CASPUR (the Interuniversity Consortium for the Application of Supercomputers by Universities and Research) and the NaMex Internet exchange point are also located, as well as one of the major nodes of the GARR network.
The GARR network
The GARR network connects more than 450 locations throughout the country and has more than two million teachers, students and researchers as its users. All areas of education and research are represented. In particular, GARR connects:
145 research centres and laboratories of CNR, ENEA, INGV, INFN and ASI;
90 universities and 34 institutes for higher education in the arts and music;
45 hospitals and institutes for scientific care;
26 national and university libraries and other documentation centres;
17 INAF observatories and astrophysics centres;
91 other research and education institutions of international importance located in Italy.
The network extends over the country with more than 50 points of presence and is based on a fibre-optic infrastructure with a capacity of 20 Gbit/s. The interconnection with the Internet is achieved by multiple 100 Gbit/s connections to the GÉANT network (which is managed by the company DANTE, of which Consortium GARR is a shareholder) and 2.5 Gbit/s connections to the commercial operators Level 3 Communications and Cogent, as well as various links to different regional networks. Peering is mainly done at the Internet exchange points MIX (200 Gbit/s), NaMeX (100 Gbit/s), TOP-IX (2 Gbit/s) and VSIX (1 Gbit/s), which are located in Milan, Rome, Turin, Florence and Padua, respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICELL%20Network | iCELL Network Pte Ltd was a Singapore-based wireless infrastructure provider. It was, at one time in the 2000s, one of the three operators of the Wireless@SG programme in Singapore.
History
The company was formed in 2004, spun off from PC-Connect, a company focusing on systems' integration, which, in turn, was spun off from Neat Technologies in 2002.
The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) selected iCELL to be one of the three initial service providers for Wireless@SG. iCELL was eventually dropped from the programme in July 2013, when the company's proposal did not meet IDA's requirements for the next deployment phase of the programme.
In 2015, Chua Thiong Kien was sentenced to six months imprisonment for cheating the Infocommunications Development Authority of Singapore. While iCELL was part of the Wireless@SG project, Chua submitted an expense of $379,200 to the IDA, the authority over Wireless@SG; included in the expenses was an invoice for 425 Internet cameras from PC Connect. In reality, only 44 cameras were actually purchased; Chua himself was still a director at PC Connect and had directed PC Connect to create the invoice for 425 cameras.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeability%20algorithm | In computer science, an interchangeability algorithm is a technique used to more efficiently solve constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). A CSP is a mathematical problem in which objects, represented by variables, are subject to constraints on the values of those variables; the goal in a CSP is to assign values to the variables that are consistent with the constraints. If two variables A and B in a CSP may be swapped for each other (that is, A is replaced by B and B is replaced by A) without changing the nature of the problem or its solutions, then A and B are interchangeable variables. Interchangeable variables represent a symmetry of the CSP and by exploiting that symmetry, the search space for solutions to a CSP problem may be reduced. For example, if solutions with A=1 and B=2 have been tried, then by interchange symmetry, solutions with B=1 and A=2 need not be investigated.
The concept of interchangeability and the interchangeability algorithm in constraint satisfaction problems was first introduced by Eugene Freuder in 1991. The interchangeability algorithm reduces the search space of backtracking search algorithms, thereby improving the efficiency of NP-complete CSP problems.
Definitions
Fully Interchangeable
A value a for variable is fully interchangeable with value if and only if every solution in which v = a remains a solution when is substituted for and vice versa.
Neighbourhood Interchangeable
A value a for variable is neighbourhood interchangeable with value b if and only if for every constraint on , the values compatible with v = a are exactly those compatible with v = b.
Fully Substitutable
A value a for variable is fully substitutable with value if and only if every solution in which v = a remains a solution when is substituted for a (but not necessarily vice versa).
Dynamically Interchangeable
A value a for variable is dynamically interchangeable for with respect to a set A of variable assignments if and only if they are fully interchangeable in the subproblem induced by A.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IndyCar%20Series%20on%20ABC | The IndyCar Series on ABC, also known as the IndyCar Series on ESPN, was the branding used for coverage of the IndyCar Series produced by ESPN, and formerly broadcast on ABC television network in the United States (through its ESPN on ABC division).
Overview
ABC first began airing races that are now part of the IndyCar Series in 1965 with that year's running of the Indianapolis 500 on its Wide World of Sports anthology series, with the network having broadcast the 500 every year until 2019.
By the late 1980s, ABC carried many of the CART PPG IndyCar World Series races that supported the Indy 500. In late 1987, Paul Page was recruited from NBC Sports to join Bobby Unser (who worked with Paul at NBC) and Sam Posey in the broadcast booth to form what remains as one of the most memorable trios in American auto racing broadcasting. Page provided enthusiasm (and popular Indy 500 intros with the theme music from Delta Force), Unser his unmistakable directness, and Posey his signature artistic and poetic perspective of the sport. In 1989 and 1990, their presentation of the Indy 500 earned the network the Sports Emmy for the year's Outstanding Live Sports Special. By then, their pit reporters were Jack Arute, Gary Gerould, and Dr. Jerry Punch. All 6 men were often on ABC's broadcasts of the International Race of Champions and of NASCAR Winston Cup.
In 1996, Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Tony George led a group of breakaway owners in the founding of the Indy Racing League, with the 500 being its premier event. ABC added coverage of IRL races to the 500, and continued to broadcast CART Championship races through 2001. From the league's inception in 1996 through 2008, ESPN and ESPN2 also each carried several of the IndyCar Series, before losing the cable television rights to the series to Versus (now NBCSN). ABC and ESPN were IndyCar's exclusive television partners from 2000 to 2008. Despite losing the cable rights, on August 10, 2011, ESPN renewed ABC's end of its broadcast deal with the league through 2018.
Under that contract the network typically aired five races annually, though it had occasionally aired six during the season. In 2014, ABC celebrated its 50th consecutive broadcast of the Indianapolis 500.
ABC's coverage of the 2013 Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway was the first prime time broadcast of IndyCar racing for the network. At the 2017 Indianapolis 500, ABC introduced "Race Strategist" (which featured predictive analysis of race conditions) and first-person "visor cam" views from Graham Rahal and Josef Newgarden.
Criticism
IndyCar fans who have criticized ESPN on ABC's race broadcasts have used "Always Bad Coverage" as a derisive backronym pertaining to the poor quality of the ABC telecasts.
Loss of IndyCar coverage
On March 21, 2018, NBC Sports announced that it had acquired the television rights to the IndyCar Series (after previously serving as cable rightsholder through NBCSN or CNBC for races not aired by ABC), replaci |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code%20sanitizer | A code sanitizer is a programming tool that detects bugs in the form of undefined or suspicious behavior by a compiler inserting instrumentation code at runtime. The class of tools was first introduced by Google's AddressSanitizer (or ASan) of 2012, which uses directly mapped shadow memory to detect memory corruption such as buffer overflows or accesses to a dangling pointer (use-after-free).
AddressSanitizer
Google's ASan, introduced in 2012, uses a shadow memory scheme to detect memory bugs. It is available in:
Clang (starting from version 3.1)
GCC (starting from version 4.8)
Xcode (starting from version 7.0)
MSVC (widely available starting from version 16.9).
On average, the instrumentation increases processing time by about 73% and memory usage by 240%. There is a hardware-accelerated ASan called HWAsan available for AArch64 and (in a limited fashion) x86_64.
AddressSanitizer does not detect any uninitialized memory reads (but this is detected by MemorySanitizer), and only detects some use-after-return bugs. It is also not capable of detecting all arbitrary memory corruption bugs, nor all arbitrary write bugs due to integer underflow/overflows (when the integer with undefined behavior is used to calculate memory address offsets). Adjacent buffers in structs and classes are not protected from overflow, in part to prevent breaking backwards compatibility.
KernelAddressSanitizer
The KernelAddressSanitizer (KASan) detects dynamic memory errors in the Linux kernel. Kernel instrumentation requires a special feature in the compiler supplying the -fsanitize=kernel-address command line option, since kernels do not use the same address space as normal programs.
Other sanitizers
Google also produced LeakSanitizer (LSan, memory leaks), ThreadSanitizer (TSan, data races and deadlocks), MemorySanitizer (MSan, uninitialized memory), and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan, undefined behaviors, with fine-grained control). These tools are generally available in Clang/LLVM and GCC. Similar to KASan, there are kernel-specific versions of LSan, MSan, TSan, as well as completely original kernel sanitizers such as KFENCE and KCSan.
Additional sanitizer tools (grouped by compilers under or a similar flag) include:
LLVM control-flow integrity and its kernel counterpart, which checks virtual tables and type casts for forward-edge CFI
MemTagSanitizer, an ASan-like tool that uses Armv8.5-A features for very low overhead
ShadowCallStack, an AArch64 tool that provides a shadow stack protection
Scudo Hardened Allocator, an alternative memory allocator that includes GWP-ASan, a probabilistic ASan analogue with low overhead
libFuzzer, an LLVM tool that adds code coverage to fuzzing
Usage
A code sanitizer detects suspicious behavior as the program runs. One common way to use a sanitizer is to combine it with fuzzing, which generates inputs likely to trigger bugs.
Users
Chromium and Firefox developers are active users of AddressSanitizer; the tool has fou |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20Anti-Capitalist%20Left | The European Anti-Capitalist Left (EACL) is an informal network for left-wing and anti-capitalist parties in Europe.
The EACL took part in the Europe against Austerity Conference in 2011 and 2012.
Ideology
Parties participating in the EACL are united in opposition to neo-liberalism and capitalism. The criteria for participation in its conferences are:
A clear foundation in anti-capitalism, with the goal of achieving socialism.
Recognition of the pluralist nature of the left, with no claim of a monopoly for their own organisation or viewpoint.
Pursuit of common action of the left in general coalitions.
Some degree of representation (in local, regional, or national legislatures) and anchoring in social movements.
Despite the last criterion, many organisations involved in the EACL, with the exception of the founding parties, are somewhat marginal groups, often of Trotskyist or Anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist persuasion which organize most vigorously through social movements and trade unions, rather than through electoral processes. The EACL emphasises an organizational need to carry out a great deal of extra-parliamentary activism.

First released in 2013, their function is to collect sensor data from integrated accelerometers, gyroscopes and compasses and offload the collecting and processing of sensor data from the main central processing unit (CPU).
The first coprocessor of the series is the M7 (codename Oscar), which was introduced in September 2013 as part of the iPhone 5S. Chipworks found that the M7 most likely is a NXP LPC1800 based microcontroller called LPC18A1. It uses an ARM Cortex-M3 core with a customised packaging and naming scheme indicating that it is for an Apple customized part. The updated version M8 was introduced in September 2014 with the iPhone 6 and also processes data from the barometer that is included in the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. iFixit have identified the M8 in the iPhone 6 to be an NXP device with a very similar name, the LPC18B1.
The later coprocessors are embedded into the A-series SoCs. September 2015 brought the M9 motion coprocessor embedded within the A9 chip found in the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, first-generation iPhone SE and within the A9X chip found in the first-generation iPad Pro. The iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, second-generation iPad Pro feature the M10 motion coprocessor, embedded within the A10 Fusion and the A10X Fusion chips. Apple included the M11 in the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X, embedded within the A11 Bionic SoC.
Starting with the A12 Bionic SoC, Apple has stopped distinguishing the motion coprocessor from the rest of the SoC, and has abandoned the corresponding M-series nomenclature. The M-series nomenclature was reintroduced in 2020 for ARM-based SoCs used in Mac computers and iPad tablets (starting from the 5th generation iPad Pro).
Usage
The Apple M-series coprocessors collect, process, and store sensor data even if the device is asleep, and applications can retrieve data when the device is powered up again. This reduces power draw of the device and saves battery life. In addition to servicing the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and in M8 and later coprocessors, barometer, the M9 coprocessor can recognize Siri voice commands from the built in microphones of the device.
The M-series motion coprocessors are accessible to applications through the Core Motion API introduced in iOS 7, so they do, for example, allow fitness apps that track physical activity and access data from the M processors without constantly engaging the main application processor. They enable applications to be aware of what type of movement the user is experiencing, such as driving, walking, running, or sleeping. Another application could be the ability to do indoor tracking and mapping. In iOS 10, the motion coprocessor is used to implement raise-to-wake functionality, reducing idle energy usage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20Quality%20Campaign | The Data Quality Campaign (DQC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization launched in the United States in 2005 to improve the quality, accessibility and use of data in education.
Overview
The Data Quality Campaign was founded in 2005, by Aimee Guidera and 10 founding partners as a national collaborative effort to encourage states to improve the collection and use of high-quality education data, and implement state longitudinal data systems to measure student achievement. It focused on its 10 Essential Elements of Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems. During this time, the campaign was managed by the National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA).
By 2009, many states had implemented data systems but few were utilizing them to their full potential. The organization shifted focus to its 10 State Actions to Ensure Effective Data Use. Around the same time, the NCEA was being acquired by ACT, Inc. in 2007, and the Data Quality Campaign became a fully independent nonprofit organization in 2011.
Today, the Washington, DC based organization leads a partnership of nearly 100 organizations.
10 Essential Elements
When the Campaign was launched, part of its mission was to promote 10 essential elements of a longitudinal data system to see a student's academic growth and the contribution of specific programs.
The elements are:
1. Student Identifier: A unique statewide student identifier that connects student data across key databases across years
2. Student Info: Student-level enrollment, demographic, and program participation information
3. Matching Student Test Records: The ability to match individual students' test records from year to year
4. Untested Student Info: Information on untested students and the reasons they were not tested
5. Teacher/Student Data Link: A teacher identifier system with the ability to match teachers to students
6. Transcript Data: Student-level transcript information, including information on courses completed and grades earned
7. College Readiness Scores: Student-level college readiness test scores
8. Graduation/Dropout Data: Student-level graduation and dropout data
9. P-12/Postsecondary Records Match: The ability to match student records between K-12 and higher education systems
10. Data Audit System: A state data audit system assessing data quality, validity, and reliability
The DQC continued to promote and monitor states' progress in establishing these elements until 2011. In September 2009, all 50 states agreed to implement the 12 America COMPETES Elements, which include DQC's 10 elements and today, states report that information to the Department of Education.
10 State Actions
DQC has identified 10 state actions to help ensure that states use the information available to them. Every year since 2010, it surveys states' progress through the Data for Action survey.
The actions are:
1. Link Data Systems: Link State K-12 data systems with early learning, postsecondary education, workforce, s |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled%20magnetic%20recording | Shingled magnetic recording (SMR) is a magnetic storage data recording technology used in hard disk drives (HDDs) to increase storage density and overall per-drive storage capacity. Conventional hard disk drives record data by writing non-overlapping magnetic tracks parallel to each other (conventional magnetic recording, CMR), while shingled recording writes new tracks that overlap part of the previously written magnetic track, leaving the previous track narrower and allowing higher track density. Thus, the tracks partially overlap similar to roof shingles. This approach was selected because, if the writing head is made too narrow, it cannot provide the very high fields required in the recording layer of the disk.
The overlapping-tracks architecture complicates the writing process, since writing to one track also overwrites an adjacent track. If adjacent tracks contain valid data, they must be rewritten as well. As a result, SMR drives are divided into many append-only (sequential) zones of overlapping tracks that need to be rewritten entirely when full, resembling flash blocks in solid-state drives. Device-managed SMR devices hide this complexity by managing it in the firmware, presenting an interface like any other hard disk. Other SMR devices are host-managed and depend on the operating system to know how to handle the drive, and only write sequentially to certain regions of the drive. While SMR drives can use DRAM, flash memory, and even a portion of their own platter reserved for use with CMR instead of SMR, as a cache to improve writing performance, continuous writing of large amount of data is noticeably slower than with CMR drives.
History
Seagate started shipping device-managed SMR hard drives in September 2013, stating an increase in overall capacity of about 25% compared to non-shingled storage. In September 2014, HGST announced a 10 TB drive filled with helium that uses host-managed shingled magnetic recording, although in December 2015 it followed this with a 10 TB helium-filled drive that uses conventional non-shingled perpendicular recording.
Western Digital (WD), Toshiba, and Seagate have sold SMR drives without labeling them as such, generating a large controversy, as SMR drives behave much slower under some circumstances (such as random writes) than CMR drives. Some have even claimed that these may cause data loss. These mislabeling practices were used in both consumer-centric and dedicated data storage HDDs for servers, NASes, RAIDs, and cold storage. A United States class-action suit against Western Digital alleging that the technology is inferior was settled on or before August 27, 2021. Due to the controversy Western Digital now, as of June 2020, labels their DM-SMR NAS drives as "WD Red" and brands their CMR NAS drives as "WD Red Plus" and "WD Red Pro".
Heavily overlapped (shingled) tracks also appeared earlier in the consumer helical scan video cassette recorders (VCRs) that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s. In Ext |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis%203%3A%20The%20Eve%20of%20Destruction | is a 1988 computer game, developed and published by Konami exclusively for the MSX platform in 1988. It was only released in Japan and Europe. The game is part of the long running Gradius series of side-scrolling shooters and is a spin-off of Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou. It is the second game of the series to be released exclusively for the MSX after Nemesis 2. In terms of the story; the game is a sequel to Gradius II, Nemesis 2, and the MSX conversion of Salamander. The game takes place almost 200 years after the crisis with Dr. Venom and James Burton has died in the year 6718. The Vic Viper is replaced by a new ship called the Vixen (4 classes); piloted by David Burton, a direct descendant of James who is assisted by his AI Gaudie.
Gameplay
Four distinct classes of Vixen can be chosen. The first one resembles the original Vic Viper. The second one is a twisted version of Vic Viper, featuring the new "Photon Missile". The third one is more like Metalion from Nemesis 2, featuring "Napalm Missile" and (Extended) "Fire Blaster". The fourth one is more like the Sabel Tiger from Salamander, featuring the 2-way missile approach and "Ripple Laser". All four classes may choose between the classic "Shield" or the "Force Field", which takes less hits to expire, but protects from any direction. It is also possible to choose the behavior of "Option", from the original shadow movement, "Fixed" and "Rolling", like the "Option Warrior" from Nemesis 2.
The game retains several of the new weapons introduced in Nemesis 2 like "Up Laser", "Fire Blaster" and "Vector Laser" as well as Salamander weapons like "Meteor Laser" and "Screw Laser". This is the only game in the Nemesis series which visibly keeps track of the number of speed boosts. In order to upgrade the ship's weapons, secret spots must be found, just like the secret stages in Nemesis 2 and the predictions in Salamander.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtown%20Tram%20Depot | Newtown Tram Depot is a heritage-listed former tram depot in King Street, Newtown, City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was part of the Sydney tram network. The tram depot and Newtown railway station were jointly added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
History
Newtown Tram Depot opened on 1 April 1900 adjacent to Newtown railway station on King Street, Newtown. It initially provided trams on the Glebe Point, Canterbury, Earlwood and Summer Hill lines. It closed on 28 September 1957.
It is the oldest remaining tram depot in Sydney that has survived in its original form.
It contained:
Tram Storage Shed (1899), with its own distinctive parapet design
Tram Traffic Offices (1900), additional floor c.1914
Main Tram Track Area (1899), series of 16 tram tracks fanning out from two tracks at King Street, removed
Secondary Tram Yard (1899), demolished
The property was transferred from the NSW Department of Government Transport to the NSW Department of Railways in 1960 and the depot was gutted of its trackwork and tramway fixtures. The site was subsequently used variously for bus parking, private tenancies and railway uses, but is now vacant. It was subject to a road reservation zoning for many years.
The depot sits alongside Newtown railway station. Part of the depot's forecourt was redeveloped and opened to the public in 2012 as part of an upgrade to the station. This area now acts as the entrance to the station concourse. The main depot building remains derelict.
Surviving features
Tram Storage Shed (1899)
This is essentially a large single storey structure with a major internal storage space and flanked on the north and south by small single storey annexes. Construction is of load bearing English bond face brickwork with attached piers to all four facades, the open end is supported now by steel RSJ posts and in-filled with corrugated steel vertical sheets on steel frames. The north and south brick gables enclose the iron sawtooth roof structure and has a series of large circular vents bordered by polychromatic brickwork.
The vents enclosing the interior roof structure are fitted with timber louvres while the adjoining ones are completely open. Windows to the south-west areas of the facade, in the area of the converter room, are generally steel-framed with cement rendered external surrounds. The main roof is of corrugated steel and the skylights are of original wire-reinforced glass in steel glazing bars, except where the roof is fire-damaged.
The annex buildings, where they have survived in near original form, are constructed of face brickwork in Flemish Bond with timber windows. The roofs are clad with unglazed terracotta tiles in Marseilles pattern, generally in a hipped form. Exterior detailing includes the use of bricks of special profile to give an ogee to the lower course under a window or an elegant scotia to the lower edge of an abutment.
The interior of the main spaces are formed by the iron |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SITS%3AVision | SITS:Vision, also known just as SITS, is a database application used for course and student management in further and higher education institutions, developed and maintained by the Tribal Group. It is currently used by roughly 70% of the UK higher education sector as well as international institutions such as the University of Sydney and the University of Otago.
ANK is known as The Mother of SITS.
History
SITS has been in existence since 1991 and was first developed by a former Registrar and IT Director of a UK university. The company, Strategic Information Technology Services, started in a residential property in Beverley, East Yorkshire before moving to commercial property in Middleton-on-the-Wolds. The business moved to Hessle, East Yorkshire, in 1997 and into the current premises in Hesslewood in 2000.
SITS was acquired by Tribal Group PLC [TRB.L] in 2004.
E:Vision
E:Vision (sometimes styled as eVision or e:Vision), is a web-based interface designed to interact with the SITS client.
It was created with the intention of allowing users to design web-based interfaces for student and/or staff interaction. This has the advantage of allowing the user to circumvent the SITS client which some customers find cumbersome.
E:Vision interfaces are created using the traditional SITS client, but does not come as a standard component when purchasing SITS. The two basic type of interfaces that can be created are 'tasks' and 'vistas' - the former allowing workflows to be created wherein a user might complete a process or operation, the latter offers an area in which data can be viewed and edited.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV%2B%20%28Bulgaria%29 | TV+ was a Bulgarian satellite television channel. The channel is owned by Rosenfeld & Co. AD., part of the Polaris Media network. Initially launched as an information channel in 2005, the channel was transformed as a polythematic on 31 October 2008, when it adopted its current name.
TV+ is part of a media group of channels, whose portfolio also includes the channels F+, Film+, Sport+, Action+, Comedy+, Cinema+, as well as the entertainment channels Close TV and Come to the Kitchen.
For a short time in April 2021, TV+ stopped broadcasting news and its own productions due to the fact that the media did not receive payments for its content from Rosenfeld & Co. AD., the company that owns the television, which is also a subsidiary of the Bulsatcom.
In the Bulsatcom network, channel stopped broadcasting on 1 August 2021, and the company plans to launch its own journalistic channel in its place from 1 September 2021. TV+ continues to broadcast only online.
But now from December 23, 2022, the channel suspended online and from Polaris and A1 (from A1 and polaris from 1 august 2021, because the polaris media owner is connected to Bulsatcom platform and the channels was connected to the owner Plamen Genchev and A1 was connected to bulsatcom and that's why) platform.
Sport
The channels in the TV + group airs entertainment programs, news bulletins, TV series and films, and along with its sister channels "F+" and "Sport+" also broadcasts sports events like Spanish La Liga, Dutch Eredivisie, ATP World Masters, boxing, WTA, MotoGP, Formula 1, NHL, and NBA. From October 2010 to 2015, the group's channels broadcast the American NBA basketball championship on the Bulgarian air after a break of nearly a year.
Coverage
TV + is broadcast only online. From 1 January 2019 the broadcasting on Vivacom was suspended, and from 1 August 2021, the broadcasting in the Bulsatcom network was also suspended.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-Pacific%20Network%20for%20Global%20Change%20Research | The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) is an intergovernmental network that promotes policy-oriented research and capacity-building activities related to global change in the region. APN receives financial contribution from the governments of the United States, Japan, Republic of Korea and New Zealand, with in-kind contribution from all it 22 member countries. The APN Secretariat is based in Kobe, Japan, hosted by the Hyogo Prefectural Government.
History
The history of APN dates back to the 1990 White House Conference on Science and Economics Research Related to Global Change, 17–18 April 1990, at which then US President George Bush invited countries of the world to join the United States in creating regional networks for North-South scientific cooperation at the intergovernmental level to deal with global environmental change research. Later in 1992, President Bush and then Prime Minister of Japan Kiichi Miyazawa signed the 1992 US-Japan Global Partnership Agreement, which, among other things, reaffirmed and strengthened Japan-US commitment to global change research.
Discussions along these lines ultimately resulted in the establishment of three global change research networks: ENRICH for Europe and Africa, APN for Asia and the Pacific, and IAI for the Americas.
APN was formally launched in 1996 at its first intergovernmental meeting held at Chiang Mai, Thailand. In 1997, a competitive process was in place, open to funding applications for scientific research projects relating to global environmental change.
Membership
Starting from 12 countries in 1996, APN membership has grown to 22 as of April 2013. In addition to the 22 full members, institutions and individuals from a number of “approved countries” are eligible for APN funding.

For example, vetting and lustration processes, trials, compensations and reparations, amnesties impact the way a political system changes and consolidates. The core essence of this theory is to explain, how after a radical rupture or war, the new political system and its actors are able and willing to implement measures that allow |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehradun%20railway%20station | Dehradun Terminal railway station is a railway station in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, on the Northern line of the Northern Railway network. It is owned by Indian Railways.
It was established in 1899 by the British. Several lines which run to and from the station include: Dehradun Jan Shatabdi Express, Dehradun Express, Prayagraj Link Express, Dehradun Shatabdi Express, Varanasi–Dehradun Express, Dehradun–Amritsar Express, Doon Express, Mussoorie Express, Kathgodam Express, Nanda Devi Express and Kochuveli–Dehradun Superfast Express.
The station is the Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT), which is 4.5 kilometre from the bus stand and the main taxi stand.
The nearest airport to the station is the Jolly Grant Airport, about 24 kilometers from the station.
It is the last station on the Northern railway line in the area.
History
The Haridwar–Dehradun line, which was the continuation of the branch line of Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway from Laksar on the main line to Haridwar, was opened in 1900. Dehradun was the terminus of this long line. The railway track between Haridwar and Dehradun was sanctioned on 18 November 1896. It was constructed between 1897 and 1899, and was opened for rail traffic on 1 March 1900. The construction of the railway station had a huge impact on the town of Dehra. Pensioners, European settlers and several other people were attracted to the town due to its pleasant climate. The railway line provided them easy connectivity to other parts of India. The railway line was also responsible for the steep increase in the export of rice, timber and limestone from the town.
There were plans to further extend railway services from this railway station to Mussoorie. The first attempt in this regard was made in 1896 but could not succeed. The project was initiated again in 1921, when the Mussoorie Electric Tramway Company Ltd was formed to set up a tram line from Dehradun to Mussoorie. The tram line was to start from the railway station and reach Mussoorie passing through Rajpur road, Dilaram Bazaar, Rajpur, Makherti, Oak-Grove, Fairlawn and Barlowganj. Work began and two stations were built on the line: one in Dilaram Bazaar and another near Parade Ground. The project was then scheduled to be completed by 1925 at an estimated cost of Rs 36 lakh, however the prices were expected to come down by 30 to 40% due to a steep fall in iron and steel prices at that time. But the tunnel at Jharipani is supposed to have caved in, killing a few workers. This combined with political unrest and the alleged embezzlement of funds by company officials eventually lead to the project being abandoned.
Renovation
The station was renovated in 2019–20, when re-modelling of the station complex and construction of additional platforms was undertaken. The station was closed on 10 November 2019 and was then reopened on 8 February 2020. During this period, the Dehradun-bound trains used to terminate either at or at Harrawala, about 12 km from the city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avnu%20Alliance | Avnu Alliance is a consortium of member companies working together to create an interoperable ecosystem of low-latency, time-synchronized, highly reliable networking devices using the IEEE open standard, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and its Pro AV networking protocol, Milan. Avnu Alliance creates comprehensive certification programs to ensure interoperability of network devices. In the Professional Audio Video (AV) industry, Alliance member companies worked together to develop Milan: a standards-based, user-driven deterministic network protocol for professional media, that through certification, assures devices will work together at new levels of convenience, reliability, and functionality. Milan™ is a standards-based deterministic network protocol for real time media. Avnu Members may use the Avnu-certified or Milan-certified logo on devices that pass the conformance tests from Avnu. Not every device based on AVB or TSN is submitted for certification to the Avnu Alliance. The lack of the Avnu logo does not necessarily imply a device is incompatible with other Avnu-certified devices. The Alliance, in conjunction with other complimentary standards bodies and alliances, provides a united network foundation for use in professional AV, automotive, industrial control and consumer segments.
History
Audio Video Bridging is the set of standards developed by the IEEE Audio Video Bridging Task Group of the IEEE 802.1 standards committee. The committee developed the original technical standards for AVB, a way to simplify audio and video streaming through the use of the Ethernet cable, rather than the complicated approach traditionally taken using an array of analog one-way, single-purpose and point-to-point cables.
Avnu Alliance was launched on August 25, 2009, to create certification processes based on AVB standards that would ensure interoperability. Founding members include: Broadcom, Cisco Systems, Harman International, Intel and Xilinx.
In 2012, Avnu Alliance announced the formation of Avnu Automotive AVB Gen2 Council (AAA2C), a committee of automotive industry experts that will collectively identify automotive requirements for future development of the second generation of AVB standards.
In April 2013, the forum launched the Avnu Alliance Broadcast Advisory Council (AABAC) to assess and improve AVB requirements in the broadcast industry. Created with the participation of Avnu Alliance members, network technologists and broadcasters, the AABAC also intends to promote the use of AVB in broadcast applications.
Avnu Alliance's president is Greg Schlechter on Intel Corporation, CTO is Kevin Stanton of Iintel and Gary Stuebing of Cisco is vice president and chairman of Avnu Alliance.
Certification
Avnu Alliance invites industry companies to participate and collaborate in their efforts to improve audio/video quality. Their members create a broad array of products, including cars, semiconductors, loudspeakers, consoles and microphones. By 2012, Avn |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic%20geometry%20models%20of%20wireless%20networks | In mathematics and telecommunications, stochastic geometry models of wireless networks refer to mathematical models based on stochastic geometry that are designed to represent aspects of wireless networks. The related research consists of analyzing these models with the aim of better understanding wireless communication networks in order to predict and control various network performance metrics. The models require using techniques from stochastic geometry and related fields including point processes, spatial statistics, geometric probability, percolation theory, as well as methods from more general mathematical disciplines such as geometry, probability theory, stochastic processes, queueing theory, information theory, and Fourier analysis.
In the early 1960s a stochastic geometry model was developed to study wireless networks. This model is considered to be pioneering and the origin of continuum percolation. Network models based on geometric probability were later proposed and used in the late 1970s and continued throughout the 1980s for examining packet radio networks. Later their use increased significantly for studying a number of wireless network technologies including mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cognitive radio networks and several types of cellular networks, such as heterogeneous cellular networks. Key performance and quality of service quantities are often based on concepts from information theory such as the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, which forms the mathematical basis for defining network connectivity and coverage.
The principal idea underlying the research of these stochastic geometry models, also known as random spatial models, is that it is best to assume that the locations of nodes or the network structure and the aforementioned quantities are random in nature due to the size and unpredictability of users in wireless networks. The use of stochastic geometry can then allow for the derivation of closed-form or semi-closed-form expressions for these quantities without resorting to simulation methods or (possibly intractable or inaccurate) deterministic models.
Overview
The discipline of stochastic geometry entails the mathematical study of random objects defined on some (often Euclidean) space. In the context of wireless networks, the random objects are usually simple points (which may represent the locations of network nodes such as receivers and transmitters) or shapes (for example, the coverage area of a transmitter) and the Euclidean space is either 3-dimensional, or more often, the (2-dimensional) plane, which represents a geographical region. In wireless networks (for example, cellular networks) the underlying geometry (the relative locations of nodes) plays a fundamental role due to the interference of other transmitters, whereas in wired networks (for example, the Internet) the underlying geometry is less important.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferronor | Ferronor (Empresa de Transporte Ferroviario S.A.) is a Chilean railway company operating on the old Red Norte (northern network) of Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado, which was privatised in 1997. Since 2004 the primary shareholder is APCO.
Currently Ferronor owns a railway network of about , consisting of a main line between La Calera and Iquique and various spur lines. However, about 60% of the railway network are currently unused due to damage like landslides, washouts and rail theft. Ferronor mostly transports mining supplies and products.
Ferronor transports 7,000,000 tonnes of iron ore concentrate, 900,000 tonnes of salt, 290,000 tonnes of copper concentrate, 530,000 tonnes of sulfuric acid, 230,000 tonnes of copper cathodes and 35,000 tonnes of fuel annually. Other railway operators transport 2,200,000 tonnes of freight on Ferronor lines annually.
Diego de Almagro division
The Diego de Almagro division connects Potrerillos (a now abandoned town and mine in the Andes at , only the smelter is still in use) with Llanta (filtration plant and workshops) and Diego de Almagro, where the line connects to the Longitudinal Norte, and continues to Chañaral and the harbor at Barquito. The Longitudinal Norte is still used from Diego de Almagro northward to connect Mina Franke.
The line was built starting 1916 by the Andes Copper Mining Company to connect the Potrerillos copper mine and smelter with Pueblo Hundido (now called Diego de Almagro), where it connected to the state railway network, which continued to Chañaral. At Chañaral, a branch was built to connect the harbor at Barquito with the state railway network. Production at the mine started ten years later. The railway was subsequently used to transport supplies to Potrerillos and refined copper to the harbor at Barquito.
In 1959, the El Salvador mine opened and the mine at Potrerillos subsequently shut down, however the smelter remained in operation. Since then, the liquified ore is transported by pipeline from El Salvador to a filtration plant near Llanta, from where the dried ore concentrate is transported by railway to the Potrerillos plant.
The copper refining process requires large quantities of sulfuric acid, which is produced on-site at Potrerillos. Potrerillos also supplies other plants with sulfuric acid, both by truck and railway. Facilities to transfer sulfuric acid from train to truck exist at Llanta and El Salado.
Vallenar division
The Vallenar division connects the Los Colorados iron ore mine with the harbor at Huasco. It consists of a branch which connects the mine with the Longitudinal Norte north of Vallenar, which is then used southward to Vallenar. A further branch line then provides the link from Vallenar to Huasco.
Baquedano division
The Baquedano division used to transport natural gas via Palestina and the Socompa pass to Argentina. This traffic ceased in 2006, after two Ferronor locomotives (408 and 412) were damaged in an accident in Argentina and the Arge |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 | M.2, pronounced m dot two and formerly known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards and associated connectors. M.2 replaces the mSATA standard, which uses the PCI Express Mini Card physical card layout and connectors. Employing a more flexible physical specification, M.2 allows different module widths and lengths, which, paired with the availability of more advanced interfacing features, makes M.2 more suitable than mSATA in general for solid-state storage applications, particularly in smaller devices such as ultrabooks and tablets.
Computer bus interfaces provided through the M.2 connector are PCI Express x4 (up to four lanes), Serial ATA 3.0, and USB 3.0 (a single logical port for each of the latter two). It is up to the manufacturer of the M.2 host or module to select which interfaces are to be supported, depending on the desired level of host support and the module type. Different M.2 connector keying notches denote various purposes and capabilities of both the M.2 hosts and modules, and also prevent the M.2 modules from being inserted into incompatible host connectors.
The M.2 specification supports NVM Express (NVMe) as the logical device interface for M.2 PCI Express SSDs, in addition to supporting legacy Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) at the logical interface level. While the support for AHCI ensures software-level backward compatibility with legacy SATA devices and legacy operating systems, NVM Express is designed to fully utilize the capability of high-speed PCI Express storage devices to perform many I/O operations in parallel.
Features
M.2 modules can integrate multiple functions, including the following device classes: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, near field communication (NFC), digital radio, WiGig, wireless WAN (WWAN), and solid-state drives (SSDs). The SATA revision 3.2 specification, in its gold revision , standardizes M.2 as a new format for storage devices and specifies its hardware layout. Buses exposed through the M.2 connector include PCI Express 3.0 and newer, Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 and USB 3.0; all these standards are backward compatible.
The M.2 specification provides up to four PCI Express lanes and one logical SATA 3.0 (6 Gbit/s) port, and exposes them through the same connector so both PCI Express and SATA storage devices may exist in the form of M.2 modules. Exposed PCI Express lanes provide a pure PCI Express connection between the host and storage device, with no additional layers of bus abstraction. PCI-SIG M.2 specification, in its revision 1.0 , provides detailed M.2 specifications.
Storage interfaces
Three options are available for the logical device interfaces and command sets used for interfacing with M.2 storage devices, which may be used depending on the type of M.2 storage device and available operating system support:
Legacy SATA Used for SATA SSDs, and interfaced through the AHCI driver and legacy |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimo%20Tram%20Depot | Ultimo Tram Depot was part of the Sydney tram network.
History
Ultimo Tram Depot opened on 8 December 1899 adjacent to the Ultimo Power Station. It was the depot for trams operating services to Pyrmont, Ryde, and Erskineville. It was situated on the eastern side of Harris Street adjacent to the Darling Harbour railway line.
The depot closed on 27 June 1953 following the decision to replace trams with buses on the Drummoyne service. The staff of 250 drivers, conductors, inspectors, and maintenance men, with 21 trams, have been transferred to other depots.
The tram sheds were converted to offices in 1981 as part of the Powerhouse Museum development. The building was listed by the National Trust in 1997.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin%20Wars | Skin Wars is a body painting reality competition hosted by Rebecca Romijn that premiered on the American pay-television channel Game Show Network on August 6, 2014. Contestants on the series perform challenges containing body painting each episode. At the end of each episode, one contestant is eliminated and told "It's time to wash off your canvas."
Production
On September 12, 2013, GSN ordered eight episodes of the series, making it GSN's first television show devoted to body art. On February 4, 2014, GSN announced Rebecca Romijn as host of Skin Wars, with RuPaul Charles, Craig Tracy and Robin Slonina serving as judges.
The series premiered on GSN August 6, 2014. That same night, the network also began airing an online series entitled Skin Wars: The Naked Truth with Kandee Johnson airing immediately after Skin Wars on DOOR3, GSN's YouTube channel targeted toward 18- to 25-year-olds. The series features commentary from Johnson as well as highlights from that night's episode and a "Skinterview" with one of the contestants.
On September 30, 2014, GSN announced plans to air a ten-episode second season of Skin Wars with Romijn and all three judges returning to reprise their respective roles. The second season premiered June 10, 2015.
A spinoff called Skin Wars: Fresh Paint hosted by RuPaul aired as a special on August 26, 2015. It featured six highly accomplished artists, each at the top of their game, as they leave their comfort zones to compete in body painting for the first time. The artists must conquer three difficult challenges as they are mentored by three top artists from the first season, Dutch Bihary, Lawrence "Gear" Duran and Season One champion, Natalie Fletcher. As the artists work closely with their body painting mentors they try to quickly master the craft and win the $10,000 prize and become champion. It premiered to 456,000 viewers. Later, it became a series itself, premiering on June 15, 2016.
On August 27, 2015, GSN renewed the series for a third season.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://corp.gsn.com/press/releases/gsn-announces-season-three-pick-groundbreaking-original-hit-series-skin-wars|title=GSN Announces Season Three Pick-up of Groundbreaking Original Hit Series Skin Wars|publisher=GSN Corporate|date=August 27, 2015|access-date=August 28, 2015}}</ref>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte%20Carlo%20tree%20search | In computer science, Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a heuristic search algorithm for some kinds of decision processes, most notably those employed in software that plays board games. In that context MCTS is used to solve the game tree.
MCTS was combined with neural networks in 2016 and has been used in multiple board games like Chess, Shogi, Checkers, Backgammon, Contract Bridge, Go, Scrabble, and Clobber as well as in turn-based-strategy video games (such as Total War: Rome II's implementation in the high level campaign AI).
History
Monte Carlo method
The Monte Carlo method, which uses random sampling for deterministic problems which are difficult or impossible to solve using other approaches, dates back to the 1940s. In his 1987 PhD thesis, Bruce Abramson combined minimax search with an expected-outcome model based on random game playouts to the end, instead of the usual static evaluation function. Abramson said the expected-outcome model "is shown to be precise, accurate, easily estimable, efficiently calculable, and domain-independent." He experimented in-depth with tic-tac-toe and then with machine-generated evaluation functions for Othello and chess.
Such methods were then explored and successfully applied to heuristic search in the field of automated theorem proving by W. Ertel, J. Schumann and C. Suttner in 1989, thus improving the exponential search times of uninformed search algorithms such as e.g. breadth-first search, depth-first search or iterative deepening.
In 1992, B. Brügmann employed it for the first time in a Go-playing program. In 2002, Chang et al. proposed the idea of "recursive rolling out and backtracking" with "adaptive" sampling choices in their Adaptive Multi-stage Sampling (AMS) algorithm for the model of Markov decision processes. AMS was the first work to explore the idea of UCB-based exploration and exploitation in constructing sampled/simulated (Monte Carlo) trees and was the main seed for UCT (Upper Confidence Trees).
Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS)
In 2006, inspired by these predecessors, Rémi Coulom described the application of the Monte Carlo method to game-tree search and coined the name Monte Carlo tree search, L. Kocsis and Cs. Szepesvári developed the UCT (Upper Confidence bounds applied to Trees) algorithm, and S. Gelly et al. implemented UCT in their program MoGo. In 2008, MoGo achieved dan (master) level in 9×9 Go, and the Fuego program began to win against strong amateur players in 9×9 Go.
In January 2012, the Zen program won 3:1 in a Go match on a 19×19 board with an amateur 2 dan player. Google Deepmind developed the program AlphaGo, which in October 2015 became the first Computer Go program to beat a professional human Go player without handicaps on a full-sized 19x19 board. In March 2016, AlphaGo was awarded an honorary 9-dan (master) level in 19×19 Go for defeating Lee Sedol in a five-game match with a final score of four games to one. AlphaGo represents a significant improvement over |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreshika%3A%20Tainted%20Bloodlines | Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines ( in Japanese) is a 2014 Japanese role playing game developed by Alfa System and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita. Oreshika is the sequel to the 1999 PlayStation game Ore no Shikabane o Koete Yuke, which received a remake in 2011 for the PlayStation Portable.
Setting
Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is set 100 years after its predecessor, with no direct story connections between the two games. The story is based on a cursed bloodline destined to fight against a demon.
Development
The game was first briefly introduced in 2011 in the form of a teaser; further information relating to the game was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show in 2013.
While the game has significant graphical improvements over its predecessor, it maintains its trademark visual style resembling Japanese traditional-style artwork. The move towards a three-dimensional graphical interface was as a result of popular request from fans, who were interested in seeing a hereditary resemblance found between the characters, according to director Shoji Masuda. Feedback from fans of the game played an important role in game development, with Sony gathering opinions via questionnaires from social media networks including Twitter, mixi and 2channel. The writing of the game's script is more than double that of the previous game, with a significantly larger variety of scenarios.
The game's animated cut-scenes were handled by Asahi Production.
Gameplay
Unlike the original 1999 PlayStation game, the sequel has characters fully rendered in 3D. The labyrinth levels are also rendered in 3D, with a fixed camera. The game system is similar to the style of the original game, with basic enemy encounters, and decreased character strength upon running. The game utilises the PlayStation Vita's camera using a face recognition mechanism.
Upon defeating enemies, the player will accumulate points, which will allow them to marry deities and create children with them; these children will have faces inherited from the parents, and can be customly named. Each character can only live for two years, which means that players will need to progress through generations in the family tree when playing. There are eight different job classes to choose from, including swordsmen, archers, spearmen, dancers, naginatamen, breakers, martial artists, and cannoneers.
Character development is based on leveling up through gaining experience and equipping various equipment akin to most role-playing games. Characters are able to develop abilities known as "arts" and "secret techniques", and the party consists of a leader and three other members. Whilst in dungeons, players fight demons and acquire items. Dungeons vary from caves, forests, mansions and temples. There is a "Symbol Encounter" system for initiating battles, similar to recent Japanese RPG games, where a battle advantage can be attained by approaching enemies from the rear. The game progresses as the player take |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling%20Network | Dueling Network (commonly abbreviated DN) was an online, unofficial Adobe Flash–based simulation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (TCG). It was created by Christopher Salvarani on March 3, 2006 and officially released on May 17, 2011. Its popularity grew quickly and it had gained more than four million registered users. The site was run by in-game volunteer administrators and moderators. At its peak, its server allowed for more than 10,000 players to be online at the same time.
Dueling Network started on May 8, 2011 and officially released on May 17, 2011. After the release, the site's popularity grew quickly, and as of 2013, had acquired more than three million registered users. The site provided users with various in-game messaging systems. From the main menu, players were able to access the Duel Room, construct Decks, check players' rankings and profiles, edit their own profiles and change their account passwords. The game was intended to be a simulation of the real-life card game and as such, was set to be played manually with little in-game automation. It followed official Konami policy as closely as possible.
Database and gameplay
Dueling Network updated its database with all available in Yu-Gi-Oh! as soon as they reached their official release date. All available cards were free-to-play. The game followed all official TCG rules. It was possible to play in Advanced (Rated), Advanced (Unrated), Traditional (Unrated), and Unlimited (Unrated). To play in these sections, players were able to access the Duel Room and choose the section they want to play in with a Deck that met the standards of that section.
Advanced (Rated)
Advanced (Rated) followed the TCG Forbidden/Limited card list. Both TCG and Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game cards were allowed, (though the latter was only allowed in a specific form of rated for these additional OCG cards). Players were matched through a system called the DN Pool that randomly paired players who had similar skill levels. Both players gained or lost rating points based on the outcome of the duel. The Advanced (Rated) section was divided into single duels and matches (winner 2 out of 3).
For rating calculation, Dueling Network used the formula , where was the scaling factor for rating adjustments, represented the result of the game (1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw, 0 for a loss), and represented the expected result of the game, determined by the relative ratings of the players (close to 1 for almost certain victory, close to 0 for almost certain loss, 0.5 for even match-up).
Rankings
The Rankings section was the leader board of Dueling Network; it showed singles or matches. It kept track of ratings, (for a format only), wins, and experience points of DN users, regardless of the form of rated selected, as opposed to making a separate list for the differing cardpools.
Advanced (Unrated)
Advanced (Unrated) followed the TCG Forbidden/Limited card list, but included cards legal only in the OCG (marked as O |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topik%20%28TV%20program%29 | Topik (Topic) is a flagship television newscast broadcast on the Indonesian TV network ANTV. Its slogan is "Lebih Cepat, Lebih Dalam, Lebih Lengkap" ("Faster, Deeper, More Complete").
History
Previously, antv had some flagship news program:
Laporan ANteve (ANteve Reports), airs on 1 March 1993 – 15 October 1995.
Cakrawala Sore (Afternoon Horizon), airs on 16 October 1995 – April 29, 2006 as the evening news program. Later, the name is used to the newsmagazine program.
Jurnal ANTV (ANTV Journal), airs on 4 August 2003 – 4 July 2005.
As the 20% stake of the network bought by STAR TV (part of News Corporation) in October 2005, on 1 May 2006 after the transition, the newscasts were renamed to Topik.

Programs
As of April 2018 until January 2023, currently ANTV broadcasts only one newscast, Topik Terkini a news update program which is aired every several hours.
In some cases, such as during Indonesian Super League or Indonesian Second Division broadcasts, Topik Petang broadcasts as Topik Petang Update, covering summary of national news on 5:30 p.m. in 5 minutes.
Topik Pagi and Topik Siang were antv's regular news programs; during weekends the programs covers light news, such as lifestyle and travelling, with "Weekend" added to the show's name.
Previously, it had a news talk program called Topik Kita (Our Topic). Later, the program changed its format to the newsmagazine program, and then replaced with a late-afternoon news program named Cakrawala, using the name of their previous news programming.
On 15 October 2013, Topik Petang was ended, followed by Topik Siang in November 2014, and Topik Malam on 5 February 2017. By November 2017, only Topik Pagi and Topik Terkini remained as their news programs under the Topik banner. ANTV would briefly air another nightly news program called Selamat Malam Indonesia between 2 November 2015 to 30 July 2017, before it moved timeslots that turned it into Selamat Pagi Nusantara.
On 31 December 2017, after running for 11 years, ANTV cancelled their morning newscasts, Topik Pagi and Selamat Pagi Nusantara. This marked the end of most ANTV newscasts as it turned into its genre to an entertainment television station. Topik Terkini and Selamat Pagi Nusantara returned on 15 January 2018, with the latter ending broadcast on 14 April 2018, leaving the short news program Topik Terkini as their sole news programming until its cessation on late January 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempe%20Bus%20Depot | Tempe Bus Depot (formerly Tempe Tram Depot) is a bus depot in the Sydney suburb of Tempe. It is currently operated by Transit Systems. The depot survived the closure of Sydney's former tram network and provided storage for the buses that replaced the trams.
History
Tempe Tram Depot opened on 15 September 1912 as an eighteen road depot on the corner of the Princes Highway and Gannon Street, Tempe. It served the Cooks River, Marrickville and Dulwich Hill lines.
It closed on 20 November 1954 to become a bus depot, that in turn closed in January 1992. The tramshed and outlying offices were leased in 1986 to the Sydney Bus Museum, formally opening in April 1988. The forecourt was used to store withdrawn State Transit buses.
The Sydney Bus Museum relocated to Leichhardt in 2010, with the depot refurbished and reopened as a bus depot for Metrobus vehicles in 2010 but was subsequently also used for other buses. As part of the contracting out of region 6, operation of Tempe depot passed from State Transit to Transit Systems on 1 July 2018.
As of September, it has an allocation of 106 buses.
Design
The front elevation of the depot carries the wall beyond the ridges of the saw tooth roofs and the parapet line is broken by a centered gable and engaged piers. As a tram depot its design had:
18 tracks
Decorative front parapet with centred pediment
Brick panelled side walls
Roof orientation to south

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge%20Street%20Tram%20Depot | Ridge Street Tram Depot was part of the Sydney tram network.
History
Ridge Street Depot was originally a cable tram depot and winding engine house that opened in 1886. On the conversion to electric operation the depot was extensively rebuilt in 1902 to enlarge the tram shed to twelve roads.
The depot closed on 3 June 1909, replaced by North Sydney Depot.
The old cable shed and winding engine house was demolished and the carriage sheds converted to a cinema (now the Independent Theatre) while the electric tram sheds were closed in 1909 and converted into the North Sydney Coliseum Roller Rink which became the Sydnian Theatre of Pictures in 1913 and reverting to the name Coliseum in 1915 .The Coliseum Theatre (Biograph) next door became a Vaudeville theatre six months after opening and remains a 'live' venue to the present day.
Design
The front elevation of the shed had a parapet with recessed panels. Design included:
12 tracks
Panelled front parapet
Operations
The original cable depot served a short cable line to the Milsons Point ferry wharf. A typical cable tram consisted of two vehicles, a leading open tramcar, known as the "dummy" or "grip" car, and a second car that was an enclosed saloon tram or trailer.
The system was powered by a large steam winding engine in Ridge Street. The engine's flywheel hauled an endless steel cable lying beneath the road between the rails in a shallow channel along the tram route. Cable trams were replaced by electric trams in 1902 and the new electric depot served the isolated North Shore Lines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendezvous%20hashing | Rendezvous or highest random weight (HRW) hashing is an algorithm that allows clients to achieve distributed agreement on a set of options out of a possible set of options. A typical application is when clients need to agree on which sites (or proxies) objects are assigned to.
Consistent hashing addresses the special case , using a different method. Rendezvous hashing is both much simpler and more general than consistent hashing (see below).
History
Rendezvous hashing was invented by David Thaler and Chinya Ravishankar at the University of Michigan in 1996. Consistent hashing appeared a year later in the literature.
Given its simplicity and generality, rendezvous hashing is now being preferred to consistent hashing in real-world applications. Rendezvous hashing was used very early on in many applications including mobile caching, router design, secure key establishment, and sharding and distributed databases. Other examples of real-world systems that use Rendezvous Hashing include the Github load balancer, the Apache Ignite distributed database, the Tahoe-LAFS file store, the CoBlitz large-file distribution service, Apache Druid, IBM's Cloud Object Store, the Arvados Data Management System, Apache Kafka, and by the Twitter EventBus pub/sub platform.
One of the first applications of rendezvous hashing was to enable multicast clients on the Internet (in contexts such as the MBONE) to identify multicast rendezvous points in a distributed fashion. It was used in 1998 by Microsoft's Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP) for distributed cache coordination and routing. Some Protocol Independent Multicast routing protocols use rendezvous hashing to pick a rendezvous point.
Problem Definition and Approach
Algorithm
Rendezvous hashing solves a general version of the distributed hash table problem: We are given a set of sites (servers or proxies, say). How can any set of clients, given an object , agree on a k-subset of sites to assign to ? The standard version of the problem uses k = 1. Each client is to make its selection independently, but all clients must end up picking the same subset of sites. This is non-trivial if we add a minimal disruption constraint, and require that when a site fails or is removed, only objects mapping to that site need be reassigned to other sites.
The basic idea is to give each site a score (a weight) for each object , and assign the object to the highest scoring site. All clients first agree on a hash function . For object , the site is defined to have weight . Each client independently computes these weights and picks the k sites that yield the k largest hash values. The clients have thereby achieved distributed -agreement.
If a site is added or removed, only the objects mapping to are remapped to different sites, satisfying the minimal disruption constraint above. The HRW assignment can be computed independently by any client, since it depends only on the identifiers for the set of sites and the object |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau-leaping | In probability theory, tau-leaping, or τ-leaping, is an approximate method for the simulation of a stochastic system. It is based on the Gillespie algorithm, performing all reactions for an interval of length tau before updating the propensity functions. By updating the rates less often this sometimes allows for more efficient simulation and thus the consideration of larger systems.
Many variants of the basic algorithm have been considered.
Algorithm
The algorithm is analogous to the Euler method for deterministic systems, but instead of making a fixed change
the change is
where is a Poisson distributed random variable with mean .
Given a state with events occurring at rate and with state change vectors (where indexes the state variables, and indexes the events), the method is as follows:
Initialise the model with initial conditions .
Calculate the event rates .
Choose a time step . This may be fixed, or by some algorithm dependent on the various event rates.
For each event generate , which is the number of times each event occurs during the time interval .
Update the state by
where is the change on state variable due to event . At this point it may be necessary to check that no populations have reached unrealistic values (such as a population becoming negative due to the unbounded nature of the Poisson variable ).
Repeat from Step 2 onwards until some desired condition is met (e.g. a particular state variable reaches 0, or time is reached).
Algorithm for efficient step size selection
This algorithm is described by Cao et al. The idea is to bound the relative change in each event rate by a specified tolerance (Cao et al. recommend , although it may depend on model specifics). This is achieved by bounding the relative change in each state variable by , where depends on the rate that changes the most for a given change in . Typically is equal the highest order event rate, but this may be more complex in different situations (especially epidemiological models with non-linear event rates).
This algorithm typically requires computing auxiliary values (where is the number of state variables ), and should only require reusing previously calculated values . An important factor in this since is an integer value, then there is a minimum value by which it can change, preventing the relative change in being bounded by 0, which would result in also tending to 0.
For each state variable , calculate the auxiliary values
For each state variable , determine the highest order event in which it is involved, and obtain
Calculate time step as
This computed is then used in Step 3 of the leaping algorithm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range%20Networks | Range Networks, Inc. is a U.S. company that provides open-source software products used to operate cellular networks. Founded in 2011, Range Networks is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with satellite offices worldwide.
History
In 2007 David Burgess and Harvind Samra created OpenBTS, subsequently releasing the source code to the public to provide cellular service to people in rural and remote regions.
In 2010 the founders incorporated as Range Networks to commercialize OpenBTS based products and deploy networks worldwide. Range Networks deployments can now be found on all seven continents including Antarctica.
In December, 2010 the company raised $12 million from Gray Ghost Ventures and Omidyar Network.
Technology
Range Networks is a provider of U.S.-made commercial open source cellular systems. Using a combination of Range Networks hardware and software, network operators can build networks in which traditional GSM handsets are treated as virtual SIP endpoints. The company supports 2G, 2.5G and 3G GSM systems.
OpenBTS Project
The OpenBTS Project, an open source software defined radio implementation of the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) radio access network that presents normal GSM handsets as virtual SIP endpoints, was developed and is maintained by Range Networks. Range Networks produces proprietary software packages releasing their source code mostly under the GNU AGPL while holding copyright under single commercial entity selling commercial licenses, support and hardware.
In August 2013, Range Networks announced the release of an update to OpenBTS, providing developers with the ability to incorporate Internet access through a packet-oriented mobile data service known as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS).
Deployments
Range Networks has worked with university and research groups to deploy cellular networks in rural regions around the world.
Indonesia: Partnering with UC Berkeley’s Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions (TIER) research group a cellular network was established in Papua, Indonesia. In mid-2012 a wireless Internet service provider in rural Papua contacted the TIER group about setting up a low power GSM base station in a remote village in the Central Highlands of Papua. The village now has both voice and global SMS service and the network is profitable for local service providers.
Zambia: In collaboration with the UC Santa Barbara’s Mobility Management and Networking Laboratory (Moment Lab) a cellular network was deployed to study the economic feasibility of bringing cellular networks to remote regions. The deployment of the network provided the remote village of Macha in Zambia with the capability of making and receiving calls and sending and receiving local SMS messages. The network also allowed for outgoing global calls and outgoing global SMS text messages on a trial basis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DriveSavers | DriveSavers, Inc. is a computer hardware data recovery, digital forensics and electronic discovery firm located in Novato, California. It was founded by CEO Jay Hagan and former company President Scott Gaidano in 1985.
History
In 1985, former Jasmine Technologies executives Jay Hagan and Scott Gaidano founded DriveSavers, operating from Gaidano’s condo with $1,400. DriveSavers originally offered both hard drive repair and data recovery services, but the company dropped its drive repair services within its first eight months. In 1992, DriveSavers signed an agreement with SuperMac Technology to assume technical support and warranty obligations for SuperMac Mass Storage Products.
The company merged with Data Recovery Disk Repair in 1994 and retained the DriveSavers name. In 2008, DriveSavers invested two million dollars to build a series of five ISO-certified cleanrooms to disassemble and rebuild damaged hard drives. From 2004-2009, the company grew from 35 to 85 employees.
DriveSavers also works with "the more secretive" branches of government and celebrities. In order to provide comfort and assistance to clients with a data loss situation, DriveSavers has had on staff an individual "data crisis counselor." This counselor has had experience in working for a suicide hotline.
DriveSavers is the only recovery firm licensed with every major hard-drive manufacturer, so their work on a drive does not void the warranty. It can recover data from hard disk drives, solid state drives, smart phones, servers, digital camera media and iOS devices. The company can recover data from T2 and M1-powered Macs with embedded SSD storage. Even with cloud backup, personal data loss is still possible, but can be recovered. The company recovered data from old floppy disks of the deceased creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, potentially containing lost episodes of the franchise.
DriveSavers is certified HIPAA-compliant, undergoes annual SOC2 Type II reviews and has encryption training certificates from GuardianEdge, PGP, PointSec and Utimaco.
Security certifications and practices
DriveSavers facility is made up of cleanrooms. The cleanrooms come in different ratings depending on the application and range from federal standards of 100,000 to 100. The rating is a measure of the number of 0.1-micron-sized airborne particulates per square meter.
DriveSavers employees have to go through background checks, because of contracts with state, and federal government agencies. The company also has to meet data-security standards its clients do, like HIPAA certification to work with hospitals and GLBA certification to work with financial institutions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental%20access%20control | Supplemental access control (SAC) is a set of security features defined by ICAO
for protecting data contained in electronic travel documents (e.g. electronic passports). SAC specifies the Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE) protocol, which itself supplements and improves upon the Basic Access Control (BAC) protocol also established by ICAO.
PACE, like BAC, prevents two types of attacks:
Skimming (online attack that consists in reading the RFID chip without physical access to the document and without the holder's approval). Prior to reading the chip, the inspection system needs to know some data that is printed on the document (e.g. the MRZ) or a key that is known only to the holder (personal identification number (PIN)), which means he has willingly handed the document for inspection. While BAC works only with the MRZ, PACE allows using card access numbers (short keys printed on the document) and PINs.
Eavesdropping (offline attack that starts by recording the data exchanged between the reader and the chip, to be analyzed later). The inspection system uses PACE for establishing a secure communication channel with the contactless chip, but using stronger cryptography than BAC. PACE offers an excellent protection against offline attacks, raising the security of documents containing contactless chips to the level of documents using contact chips.
With the implementation of PACE begins the third generation of electronic passports.
EU members must implement PACE in electronic passports by the end of 2014.
States, for the sake of global interoperability, must not implement PACE without implementing BAC, and inspection systems should implement PACE and use it if supported by the MRTD chip. Thus, it is important that global interoperability is achieved, to make the enhancement reliable for the document verification process. To achieve interoperability, there are so called Interoperability Tests. The results of the last test focusing on SAC describe the current state of implementation in the field.
Version 1.1 (April 2014) of ICAO's "Supplemental Access Control" Technical Report introduces the Chip Authentication protocol as an alternative to Active Authentication and integrates it with PACE, achieving a new protocol (Chip Authentication Mapping, PACE-CAM
) which allows faster execution than the separate protocols.

He is the founding pastor of Cornerstone Church and oversees the Cornerstone Global Network, a network of over 150 churches throughout the US, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, South Africa and the UK. He was consecrated as a bishop by the International Communion of Charismatic Churches in 2009.
Early life and career
Michael Pitts was born in south Lima, Ohio, in 1964 to factory workers Eugene and Brenda Pitts. His parents were raised attending church regularly. At the age of 14, Pitts felt called to become a preacher.
In June 1986, Pitts and his wife Kathi moved to Toledo to start a non-denominational church, which they named Cornerstone Church. The church grew rapidly and by the age of 26, Pitts was preaching to over 1,000 weekly members. In 1995, Pitts moved the Church to Reynolds Road in Maumee, just outside Toledo, with a 2,500-seat facility. As of 2005 it became the largest church in Northwest Ohio, with 4,000 members. It was the first racially integrated church in the region. In 1998, Cornerstone Church purchased WDMN, an AM radio station in Toledo, and sold it in 2012.
Pitts has not attended seminary or theological college, but is self-taught from tapes, CDs, books, and other materials.
Career
Pitts was consecrated as a bishop by the International Communion of Charismatic Churches in October 2009 for his oversight of the Cornerstone Global Network, a network of more than 120 churches. He has published more than a dozen books.
In 2015, Pitts commenced monthly revival services in San Jose, California. Pitts has preached at the annual Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance conference several times, as well as in Mexico and at annual meetings in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ghana.
Pitts is the founder of "Heal The World", a registered 501(c)3 non-profit that activities include covering the cost of soup kitchen Thanksgiving meals, collecting Bibles for US soldiers, and partnering with Mercy Ministries. Heal The World also funds the Cornerstone Academy, a school in the village of Odokono N'kwanta, Ghanan.
Pitts has partnered with, and hosted annual WOWJAMs, an event started by Stephen and Linda Tavani aimed at reaching poorer communities around the city by utilizing music, games, dances, and prizes.
In December 2015, Pitts released the album Heal The World, containing songs co-written by Pitts and featuring Israel Houghton, Sheryl Brady, The Katinas, Lucia Parker, Linda Green (of Peaches & Herb) and Bryan Popin.
Criminal and financial matters
On September 18, 1997, Pitts was arrested on charges of exposing himself to passing motorists near Oak Openings Metropark in Swanton, Ohio. In the months following, additional charges from other locations were added. The public indecency charge was dropped on January 15, 1998 when Judge Francis Gorman of the Toledo Municipal Court ruled that the statute of limitations had expired for the initial event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard%20Test%20and%20Programming%20Language | JAM / STAPL ("Standard Test and Programming Language") is an Altera-developed standard for JTAG in-circuit programming of programmable logic devices which is defined by JEDEC standard JESD-71.
STAPL defines a standard .jam file format which supports in-system programmability or configuration of programmable devices. A JTAG device programmer implements a JAM player which reads the file as a set of instructions directing it to program a PLD.
The standard is supported by multiple PLD and device programmer manufacturers.

Work
A Theory for Conceptual Modelling of Evolving Application Domains, 1994
In his 1994 PhD thesis "A Theory for Conceptual Modelling of Evolving Application Domains," Proper developed a formal specification of information system development. This specification was based Object-role modeling, and was one of the many extensions to its basic framework. These extensions are basically abstract mechanisms, that "allow users to control the amount of detail seen at any given time."
While Proper focussed on schema evolution with Object-role modeling, other researchers in the 1990s had focussed on a range of related topics. Halpin (2006) summarized that that research ranged from "reverse engineering, support for complex objects, process-event modeling, external schema generation... schema optimization, meta-modeling, subtype ext |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PathVisio | PathVisio is a free open-source pathway analysis and drawing software. It allows drawing, editing, and analyzing biological pathways.
Visualization of ones experimental data on the pathways for finding relevant pathways that are over-represented in your data set is possible.
PathVisio provides a basic set of features for pathway drawing, analysis and visualization. Additional features are available as plugins.
History
PathVisio was created primarily at Maastricht University and Gladstone Institutes. The software is developed in Java and it's also used as part of the WikiPathways framework as an applet.
Starting from version 3.0 (released in 2012) plugins are OSGi compliant and a plugin directory, describing them, was developed.
In 2015 version 3.2 was released. This was the first signed version with a certificate issued by a certification authority. Many of the running issues introduced by java 1.7 and 1.8 with the new security rules were solved.
Since 2013 a javascript version (PVJS) is being developed to replace the applet. From 2015 it also allows small edits and in the future it will be a full editor.
Features
Pathway drawing and annotation
Pathway analysis
Integration with WikiPathways for easy editing/publishing
