https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal%20Building%20%28Colorado%20Springs%2C%20Colorado%29 | The Federal Building, originally the Burroughs Building, was a Cold War military computer systems building on the Ent Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. It was built in 1962 to be used by Burroughs Corporation for its project to build an automated facility to take input, like satellite and radar information, and instantaneously assess its degree of combat importance. The program was designed in conjunction with Air Force 425L System Project engineers and was an important component in North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)'s command and control system. It was an Ent Air Force Base building until 1975 when the base was inactivated. It then became an off-base installation to the Peterson Air Force Base. Over the next several decades there were varying uses for the building by the federal government. After 2007, the building was vacated and in 2009 it was sold.
Ent Air Force Base
Burroughs Corporation was awarded a contract to develop a North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) command and control system for its Combat Operations Center. The construction project, to be completed in 1964, included construction at the underground (Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station) facility and two other phases of the project. The system, designed in conjunction with Air Force 425L Systems Project engineers at Burrough's high speed computer complex in Massachusetts, was to be "an automated facility for centralizing the evaluation of critical aerospace surveillance points, providing computations in one-millionth of a second." Its sources of information included radar and satellites.
The or two-story Burroughs Building was constructed in 1962 on 1.7 acres for the Burroughs Corporation, as designed by C. Dewey King. The building included offices and laboratories for NORAD's electronics and communications systems. It was owned by Davis-Becker Construction company, who then leased it to Burroughs.
In 1970, a Museum of Heritage collection was built for the Fourteenth Aerospace Force in Ent Air Force Base's Burroughs Building. The collection consisted of items from personnel who served with the Flying Tigers or its forerunner the American Volunteer Group in China. The displays—including Chinese coins, patches, flying jackets, and flags—were to be completed September 1970.
The Army Air Defense Command, part of North American Air Defense Command and Continental Air Command, was inactivated at Ent AFB on January 4, 1975. The Fourteenth Aerospace Force at Ent Air Force Base was inactivated and its personnel and units were reassigned to Air Defense Command on October 1, 1976. Ent Air Force Base was declared excess. In December 1976, personnel were moved to Peterson Air Force Base and the Chidlaw Building, near downtown Colorado Springs.
Peterson Air Force Base
In 1975, the Ent Air Force Base and the NORAD headquarters moved to the Peterson Air Force Base Ent Building. Until February 28, 1975, Peterson Field was an off-base installation of Ent Air Force B |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediatric%20Trials%20Network | The Pediatric Trials Network (PTN) is a consortium of clinical research sites located around the United States that are cooperating in the design and conduct of clinical trials to improve health care for young patients. The network is sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
The work of the PTN addresses a critical lack of information regarding the impact of therapeutic agents on infants and children. Developing organs and changes in metabolism throughout infancy and childhood affect how drugs are processed by immature or maturing bodies; thus, age-dependent adjustments in doses are required to ensure that such therapies are used safely and effectively. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of drugs and devices approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have actually been studied in children and are labeled for pediatric use. Pediatricians, consequently, are often forced to prescribe medical therapies "off-label," or according to their best guess based on adult studies.
To fill this knowledge gap, the PTN is studying the formulation, dosing, efficacy, and safety of drugs, as well as the development of medical devices, used in pediatric patients. In keeping with the goals of the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA), data collected from PTN trials are helping regulators to revise FDA labels for safer and more effective use in infants and children.
A map of sites currently participating in PTN trials may be viewed on the network's website .
Background
Pediatric clinical research faces unique challenges: low study consent rates among parents of sick children, limited blood volume available for the conduct of pharmacokinetic studies, and a relative lack of pediatric analytical expertise in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, to name a few. Because of such obstacles, before 1998, pharmaceutical companies were not required by the government to test their drugs in infants and children, even if the drugs were commonly given to those populations.
The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act (1997) and BPCA (2002, amended in 2007 and renewed in 2012) offer financial incentives in the form of patent extensions for companies that voluntarily test their drugs in pediatric patients. BPCA also provides a mechanism by which off-patent therapeutics might be studied through a collaboration between the FDA and National Institutes of Health. The NICHD is responsible for funding these studies from its annual budget.
Since the BPCA was first enacted, the NICHD has awarded numerous projects to organizations and institutions for the purpose of gathering information to improve pediatric drug labeling. One of these projects is the PTN, which is creating a scientific, technical, and administrative infrastructure that, in strategic partnership with the NICHD, is studying critical drugs and diagnostic devices in children to improve labeling for pediatric use.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%20Dailey | Don Dailey (March 10, 1956 – November 22, 2013) was an American researcher in computer chess and a game programmer. Along with collaborator Larry Kaufman, he was the author of the chess engine Komodo. Dailey started chess programming in the 1980s, and was the author and co-author of multiple commercial as well as academic chess programs. He has been an active poster in computer chess forums and computer Go newsgroups. He was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and served in recent years as an elder in the church of Roanoke.
In October 2013, Dailey announced the release of Komodo 6, but also news concerning the future status of Komodo due to his fatal illness of an acute form of leukemia, and introduced Mark Lefler as new member of the Komodo team. Dailey died of leukemia at the age of 57 on November 22, 2013.
Rex
Rex was Dailey's first chess program in the 1980s, in collaboration with Sam Sloan and Larry Kaufman. It competed at various ACM North American Computer Chess Championships and World Computer Chess Championships. Rex was improved further and marketed as RexChess.
Heuristic software
In the early 1990s, Dailey started to work with chess master and computer chess programmer Julio Kaplan within his company Heuristic Software. The program they developed was called Heuristic Alpha, which later evolved into Socrates, Socrates II and the mass market entry Kasparov's Gambit.
MIT connection
At the ACM 1993 computer chess tournament, which was won by Dailey's program Socrates II on an IBM PC ahead of Cray Blitz, he met Bradley Kuszmaul and Charles Leiserson from MIT competing with StarTech, and they asked him to help develop a new parallel chess program. Some time later when Heuristic went out of business, he began working part-time for Leiserson at the lab at MIT on the new parallel program Star Socrates, beside his duty as official systems administrator. Star Socrates played a strong World Computer Chess Championship 1995 in Shatin, Hong Kong, finally losing the playoff versus Fritz. Dailey continued his cooperation with Charles Leiserson on the massively parallel chess program Cilkchess, written in Cilk.
Corel and Mini
Additionally, in the 1990s, Dailey further worked with Larry Kaufman on the commercial mass market entry Corel Chess. Beside competing with Cilkchess, their serial chess program Mini played the World Computer Chess Championship 1999 in Paderborn.
Doch and Komodo
After a break from computer chess and a few years focusing on other domains, Dailey's 2009/2010 chess program Doch as well as its successor Komodo are again a joint effort in collaboration with Larry Kaufman. In Fall 2013, the developmental version of Komodo won stage 3, and already after Don's death, the final of the Thoresen Chess Engines Competition, the latter in a 48-game match versus stage 4 winner Stockfish by a margin of 25–23. Finalist Stockfish DD, dedicated to Don Dailey, was officially released during the final, the commercial Komodo-TCEC a few days later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral%20nerve%20interface | A peripheral nerve interface is the bridge between the peripheral nervous system and a computer interface which serves as a bi‐directional information transducer recording and sending signals between the human body and a machine processor. Interfaces to the nervous system usually take the form of electrodes for stimulation and recording, though chemical stimulation and sensing are possible. Research in this area is focused on developing peripheral nerve interfaces for the restoration of function following disease or injury to minimize associated losses. Peripheral nerve interfaces also enable electrical stimulation and recording of the peripheral nervous system to study the form and function of the peripheral nervous system. For example, recent animal studies have demonstrated high accuracy in tracking physiological meaningful measures, like joint angle. Many researchers also focus in the area of neuroprosthesis, linking the human nervous system to bionics in order to mimic natural sensorimotor control and function. Successful implantation of peripheral nerve interfaces depend on a number of factors which include appropriate indication, perioperative testing, differentiated planning, and functional training. Typically microelectrode devices are implanted adjacent to, around or within the nerve trunk to establish contact with the peripheral nervous system. Different approaches may be used depending on the type of signal desired and attainable.
Function
The primary purpose of a neural interface is to enable two-way exchange of information with the nervous system for a sustained period of time to enable effective and high density stimulation and recording. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for relaying information from the brain and spinal cord to the extremities of the body and back. The function of a peripheral nerve interface is to assist the nervous system when peripheral nerve function is compromised. To supplement the roles of the nervous system, interfaces need to augment motor function as well as discern sensory information. The feasibility of peripheral nerve stimulation to achieve a desired motor output has been demonstrated and is one of the major driving forces for this area of research. Information throughout the nervous system is exchanged primarily through action potentials. These signals occur at varying numbers and intervals dependent on both the neuroanatomical and neurochemical make up of the individual and localized region. Information may be either introduced or read out by inducing or recovering action potentials from the body. Successful development and implementation of a peripheral nerve interface would allow for both the introduction of information to the nervous system, and extraction of information from the nervous system.
Problems and limitations
Problems and limitations in peripheral nerve interfacing are both biophysical and biological in nature. These challenges include:

On September 1, 2019, Foodbeast held the "Nood Beach food festival". The festival, hosted in Huntington Beach, featured noodle vendors and musicians Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Dash Berlin.
Social media vending machines
On February 28, 2019, Foodbeast began a social media vending machine campaign in collaboration with Nissin Foods USA. Two Foodbeast branded vending machines were installed, one in a mall in Las Vegas, and another in Los Angeles.
Media
Foodbeast staff was featured on the MTV2 show "Jobs That Don't Suck" hosted by Andrew Schulz. Their episode showed founders Elie Ayrouth, Rudy Chaney as they opened food packages and visited the Taco Bell test kitchen.
Controversy
In-N-Out 'Monkey Style' Burger
On June 28, 2013, a video was uploaded to Foodbeast's YouTube channel entitled "Ordering a Monkey Style Burger from In-N-Out." The video depicted the Foodbeast founder in an In-N-Out drive-thru ordering what he claims is a Monkey Style burger, a hamburger topped with the chain's Animal Style fries (cheese, grilled onions and spread). This resulted in many patrons trying to order their burger Monkey Style.
"There is no such thing," Carl Van Fleet, a vice president at In-N-Out Burger, said in a statement. "For a variety of reasons, we're unable to prepare burgers in the manner that a few websites have described as 'monkey style.' "
CBS covered the story in a late-night piece, with their KCAL9 team asking Ayrouth "if he tried to create a hoax by simply putting an order of fries on top of a burger." KCAL9 states that he did not respond.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeeringDB | PeeringDB is a freely available, user-maintained, database of networks, and the go-to location for interconnection data. The database facilitates the global interconnection of networks at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), data centers, and other interconnection facilities, and is the first stop in making interconnection decisions.
Almost one third of the critical default-free zone ASNs at least partially register their interconnection options in the database. The database shows the colocation facilities in which networks have a presence and the IXPs they peer at.
While, like Wikipedia, PeeringDB's database contains user contributed data, networks can give permission for exchanges using the IX-F Member Exchange Format to submit technical information about their presence at an exchange. This can then be used as a source of configuration data.
Traditionally a list of potential peering partners would have been maintained by the host Internet exchange point or colocation centre, but these lists lacked important information such as peering policies and were difficult to keep up-to-date. Being a distributed database, it was also necessary for peers to consult multiple lists in order to establish peering relationships. PeeringDB has become the "first stop when deciding where and whom to peer with".
PeeringDB's software was originally written by Richard Steenbergen in 2004. A non-profit organization was incorporated in 2015 to operate the PeeringDB service. It has four volunteer committees that design, maintain, and promote the service. They are:
Admin Committee - which is responsible for day-to-day end-user support
Operations Committee - which oversees the technical infrastructure
Outreach Committee - which oversees engagement with users and other stakeholders
Product Committee - which oversees the design and development of product features
PeeringDB's software is open source and volunteers can contribute code. Users are welcome to request features and report bugs by opening an issue on GitHub. They can also engage in discussion using PeeringDB's mailing lists.
Types of Data
PeeringDB hosts five types of data about interconnection:
Networks
Internet Exchange Points
Facilities - often data centers but can be anywhere where networks place equipment for the purpose of interconnection
Carriers - providers of high speed Layer 1 and Layer 2 service into a facility
Campuses - a collection of facilities operated by the same organization that provide inter-building cross-connects
Interaction
Users can search and update the PeeringDB database using the web interface or an API. The API can be used to integrate PeeringDB's service into proprietary tools.
When searching PeeringDB, users only need an account if they want access to contact information for organizations.
PeeringDB's OAuth service can be used to authenticate when using third-party applications. About 150 applications had enabled PeeringDB OAuth in May 2021.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographers%27%20A%E2%80%93Z%20Map%20Company | Geographers' A–Z Map Company Ltd. is the largest independent map publisher in the United Kingdom, providing cartographic services, digital data products and paper mapping publications (including Street Atlases, Visitors' Guides, Great Britain Road Atlases, and The Adventure Atlas).
The company is based in Dunton Green, Kent.
Establishment
Geographers' Map Company Ltd. was established in London on 28 August 1936 by Alexander Grosz, with offices in Napier House, 24–27 High Holborn, London. The company's most famous publication, "The A-Z Street Atlas", was created by Phyllis Pearsall who took on the responsibility of creating the first edition. Pearsall spent hours walking the streets of London cataloguing house numbers, junctions and streets. The company sold every copy of her first London Geographers' A–Z Street Atlas, with the main customer being W.H. Smith and Sons.
By 1938, Geographers' Map Company Ltd. was selling 12 titles, with the maps being entirely created by skilled cartographers. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the government ordered the removal of street maps from sale so the business produced war maps for newspapers throughout the War.
1950s to present
By 1952 the company had over 30 publications covering the United Kingdom from London to Glasgow. The 1960s saw the company move to the Sevenoaks area in Kent and ownership move to the Geographer's Map Trust.
The 1970s saw the introduction of the now iconic A–Z to the company name.
The early adoption of technology and in particular the use of CAD/CAM Unix computers, and later the Windows PC, accelerated the pace of map publication, which resulted in a peak in sales during 2005. Subsequently, significant technological developments in the industry saw the increased availability of free mapping and satellite navigation, and the demand for paper production rapidly declined – ultimately resulting in the company's restructuring in 2013.
Geographers' A–Z Maps' digital offering is growing rapidly and is already in use by charities like London's Air Ambulance, public organisations, and private business, providing the familiar mapping solution at street scale.
Additionally, the company has started to include licensed brand products including Ben Sherman clothing and Paperchase stationery.
Since 2020, A-Z has been published by HarperCollins Publishers.
2012 Olympics
The Geographers' A–Z Map Company and its cartographic services team were the official suppliers of paper atlases and maps for the 2012 Olympic Games and 2012 Paralympic Games. They produced atlases that detailed transport information for navigating to the venues as well as other information.
Digital data range
Geographers' A–Z Map Company are now producing digital data, providing both the business user and high street customer exactly what they want through the additional technology of print on demand, custom map creation and digital data provision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20length%20%28transport%29 | In transport terminology, network length (or, less often, system length) refers to the total length of a transport network, and commonly also refers to the length of any fixed infrastructure associated with the network.
A measurement can be made of the network length of various different modes of transport, including rail, bus, road and air. The measurement may focus on one of a number of specific characteristics, such as route length, line length or track length.
Lines and routes
Continental European and Scandinavian transport network analysts and planners have long had a professional practice of using the following terminology (in their own languages) to draw a distinction between:
a line – namely "an operational element of [a] public transport system"; and
a route – as in "the route that [a] bus or rail vehicle follows through the city".
In 2000, this terminology was adopted by an English language best practice guide to public transport, to minimise the risk of confusion. Since then, a number of other English language specialist publications have adopted the same terminology, for the same reason. The terminology is therefore also used in this article.
Route length
The route length of a transport network is the sum of the lengths of all routes in the network, such as railways, road sections or air sectors. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration has also referred to this as "Directional Route Miles (DRM)". Where a network is made up of railways, route length has also been defined, by at least one source, as the sum of the distances (in kilometres) between the midpoints of all stations on the network.
In a measurement of route length, each route is counted only once, regardless of how many lines pass over it, and regardless of whether it is single track or multi track, single carriageway or dual carriageway.
If a transport network is made up of tangible routes owned or operated by the operator of the network (such as railways), then its route length is therefore the total length of the network's revenue earning fixed infrastructure.
Line length
In , a calculation may also be made of network's line length, which is the sum of the lengths of all of the lines in the network. Any route in the network that is shared by multiple lines is therefore counted more than once. As a result, the line length of a transport network is always greater than or equal to its route length.
Track length
If a network is made up of railways, tramways, or a combination of the two, its track length may also be calculated. The track length of a rail network is the combined length of all tracks in the network. Thus, a double track route will have a track length twice as long as its route length.
Calculation example
To illustrate how the three different calculations of network length are performed, here is a simple example:
The tramway (streetcar) network of a small town has two lines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information%20distance | Information distance is the distance between two finite objects (represented as computer files) expressed as the number of bits in the shortest program which transforms one object into the other one or vice versa on a
universal computer. This is an extension of Kolmogorov complexity. The Kolmogorov complexity of a single finite object is the information in that object; the information distance between a pair of finite objects is the minimum information required to go from one object to the other or vice versa.
Information distance was first defined and investigated in based on thermodynamic principles, see also. Subsequently, it achieved final form in. It is applied in the normalized compression distance and the normalized Google distance.

The probabilistic expressions of the distance is the first cohomological class in information symmetric cohomology, which may be conceived as a universality property.
Metricity
The distance is a metric up to an additive
term in the metric (in)equalities. The probabilistic version of the metric is indeed unique has shown by Han in 1981.
Maximum overlap
If , then there is a program of length that converts to , and a program of length such that the program converts to . (The programs are of the self-delimiting format which means that one can decide where one program ends and the other begins in concatenation of the programs.) That is, the shortest programs to convert between two objects can be made maximally overlapping: For it can be divided into a program that converts object to object , and another program which concatenated with the first converts to while the concatenation of these two programs is a shortest program to convert between these objects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LambdaNative | LambdaNative is an open-source cross-platform development environment written on top of the Gambit-C Scheme implementation of the Scheme programming language, supporting the creation of native applications on a range of mobile, desktop and embedded platforms. The underlying Scheme programming language has a long tradition of use in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and rapid program development.
History
The Scheme programming language was designed as a simplified and more abstract variant of the early Lisp programming language. The first Lisp implementation was available in 1958, Scheme was introduced in 1975.
Development of LambdaNative toolkit started in 2009 at the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) in Vancouver, Canada. It was initially used as an in-house platform for a closed-loop intravenous anesthesia system. Support for mobile platforms was added as PART became engaged in global health projects in 2010. The core LambdaNative framework was open-sourced in 2013.
Features
LambdaNative combines the possibilities of a rapid prototyping environment using Scheme and C programming languages (feature of the underlying Gambit-C implementation) with easy cross-platform software generation and a set of modules including GUI programming, fast Fourier transform and modules to access typical phone hardware components such as camera, GPS and audio.
Licensing
LambdaNative is released under the BSD License.
Platforms
LambdaNative supports building native applications for the following operating systems:
Mobile: iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10
Desktop: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, OpenBSD
Embedded: OpenWrt
Scheme based development
LambdaNative applications are written in the Scheme language which can be easily mixed with C code. Scheme is a high level functional language with a very simple and expressive syntax. LambdaNative uses Gambit-C Scheme, a portable standards-compliant Scheme to C compiler.
Applications written in the framework can be either event-loop driven graphical applications or console applications, and code can be abstracted in the form of modules and plugins. LambdaNative does not require the use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The build system follows the conventional configure, make, make install command format.
Graphics and user interface
LambdaNative utilizes the OpenGL and OpenGL ES hardware accelerated graphics layer on the target platforms, and provides a full widget-based 2D graphics engine. It is also possible to render 3D scenes, and overlay a 2D user interface.
The cross-platform GUI is based on the highly portable glGUI widget toolkit.
Audio
LambdaNative supports both playback of audio files (OGG or WAV) format, and real-time full-duplex bidirectional audio.
Sensors
LambdaNative supports access to accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS locators and other sensors where available on mobile devices.

LambdaNative has been used for a diverse r |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey%20Shapiro | Jeffrey H. Shapiro is the Julius A. Stratton Professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the former director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics. He made seminal contributions to understanding the fundamental quantum limits on communications, generation, detection, and application of quantum squeezed state, ghost imaging, and quantum information science. He invented the microchannel-plate spatial light modulator with Cardinal Warde.
Biography
Shapiro received the S.B., S.M., E.E., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from MIT in 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970, respectively. From 1970 to 1973, he was on the faculty of Case Western Reserve University. From 1973 to 1985, he was an associate professor of electrical engineering at MIT, and in 1985, he was promoted to professor of electrical engineering. He became the Julius A. Stratton Professor in 1999.
From 1989 to 1999, Shapiro served as the associate department head of MIT's department of electrical engineering and computer science. He was appointed director of the Research Laboratory of Electronics in 2001. He is also a director of MIT's Optical and Quantum Communications Group.
Research
Shapiro's research focuses on utilizing quantum mechanical effects to develop metrology tools and applications, whose performance greatly exceeds what can be realized with conventional, classical-physics systems. In particular, his group investigated the quantum limits on optical communications, such as remote viewing, and derived the capacity of quantum channels. His group also demonstrated high-performance entanglement sources and took advantage of these sources to implement quantum key distribution systems. Shapiro's group pioneered in developing quantum illumination, which enables use of entanglement in lossy and noisy environments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On%20Stage%2C%20Everybody | On Stage, Everybody is a United States television variety show which was produced by ABC, but aired on DuMont Television Network station WABD. Broadcast in 1945, it appears to have been one of several early television series produced for WABD so that ABC production crews could get experience in television program production, as ABC did not yet have a TV station of its own. The emcee on the series was Danton Walker. Notably, the Hall Johnson Choir made a guest appearance in one of the episodes. As methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947, none of the episodes still exist.
Reception
Reviewing the second episode, Billboard magazine said "the show ran with a smoothness that is big-time".
Reviewing the third episode, Billboard said "The third televersion of On Stage, Everybody had faults, but for the most part they did not interfere with the quality of the presentation".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking%20Coastal%20Trail | The Viking Coastal Trail is a 25-mile multi-user route around the Isle of Thanet, keeping as close as is possible to the coast. It is also Regional Route 15 of the National Cycle Network. From Reculver (going clock-wise), the trail passes through Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate to reach Pegwell Bay, where Vikings first landed in Kent. The Trail then, uses an inland route on quiet lanes (except the short section beside the A299), passing through a couple of villages with ancient churches including Minster-in-Thanet Abbey and St Nicholas at Wade, to return to Reculver.
History
The trail was devised by a collaboration of Douglas Bush (the Thanet representative for cycling tour club Right To Cycle, the local secretary of the Thanet Cycle Forum and a member of the East Kent cycle campaign group Spokes), Sustrans (British charity to promote sustainable transport) and Thanet District Council.
Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Trail, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total cost of the trail (including design, construction and marketing) is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between Kent County Council and Thanet District Council.
Route
It is largely traffic free (especially along the coast). On-road 46% - Off-road 54% . The coastal route also follows (in most sections) the route of the Saxon Shore Way (long distance footpath). But the inland section of the trail is still being upgraded and improved, such as the section between the A299 Thanet Way and Reculver.
At Sandwich it connects to National Cycle Route 1 to head to Canterbury.
At Reculver, the trail links to Wantsum Walk to Upstreet (following an old river route) and Oyster Bay Trail (leading to Whitstable, along the coastline).
The Trail forms the route for many charity local cycle rides, including Thanet Road Runner mountain bike duathlon, which starts as a short 2.4-mile road run from Minnis Bay and continues with nine miles of cycling before another run of 4.5 miles. It is also used by the British Heart Foundation for its annual Viking Bike Ride.
Usage
Canterbury Christ Church University College studied the economic impact of the Viking Coastal Trail in 2003. 364 cyclists were interviewed between May and August.
They concluded that the overall economic impact of the Trail equates to around £293,297 per year.
The Trail is Kent’s No. 1 cycle route. Used by at Ramsgate – 27,965, Westgate – 39,616 cyclists in 2003 during June and August.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof%20of%20stake | Proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols are a class of consensus mechanisms for blockchains that work by selecting validators in proportion to their quantity of holdings in the associated cryptocurrency. This is done to avoid the computational cost of proof-of-work (POW) schemes. The first functioning use of PoS for cryptocurrency was Peercoin in 2012, although the scheme, on the surface, still resembled a POW.
Description
For a blockchain transaction to be recognized, it must be appended to the blockchain. In the proof of stake blockchain the appending entities are named minters or (in the proof of work blockchains this task is carried out by the miners); in most protocols, the validators receive a reward for doing so. For the blockchain to remain secure, it must have a mechanism to prevent a malicious user or group from taking over a majority of validation. PoS accomplishes this by requiring that validators have some quantity of blockchain tokens, requiring potential attackers to acquire a large fraction of the tokens on the blockchain to mount an attack.
Proof of work (PoW), another commonly used consensus mechanism, uses a validation of computational prowess to verify transactions, requiring a potential attacker to acquire a large fraction of the computational power of the validator network. This incentivizes consuming huge quantities of energy. PoS is more energy-efficient.
Early PoS implementations were plagued by a number of new attacks that exploited the unique vulnerabilities of the PoS protocols. Eventually two dominant designs emerged: so called Byzantine Fault Tolerance-based and chain-based approaches. Bashir identifies three more types of PoS:
committee-based PoS (a.k.a. nominated PoS, NPoS);
delegated proof of stake (DPoS);
liquid proof of stake (LPoS).
Attacks
The additional vulnerabilities of the PoS schemes are directly related to their advantage, a relatively low amount of calculations to be performed while constructing a blockchain.
Long-range attacks
The low amount of computing power involved allows a class of attacks that replace a non-negligible portion of the main blockchain with a hijacked version. These attacks are called in literature by different names, Long-Range, Alternative History, Alternate History, History Revision, and are unfeasible in the PoW schemes due to the sheer volume of calculations required. The early stages of a blockchain are much more malleable for rewriting, as they likely have much smaller group of stakeholders involved, simplifying the collusion. If the per-block and per-transaction rewards are offered, the malicious group can, for example, redo the entire history and collect these rewards.
The classic "Short-Range" attack (bribery attack) that rewrites just a small tail portion of the chain is also possible.
Nothing at stake
Since validators do not need to spend a considerable amount of computing power (and thus money) on the process, they are prone to the Nothing-at-Stake attack: the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look%20Upon%20a%20Star | Look Upon a Star was an American live television series, hosted by Bess Myerson and produced by Joseph Cates. The series aired on two DuMont Television Network stations, WABD and WTTG, during 1947. The show also aired on WRGB-TV, the General Electric TV station in Schenectady, New York.
The show featured high school students, was one of television's earliest talent series, and was a 30-minute series broadcast on Tuesdays at 7:30pm ET. The Comet Candy Company was the sponsor. Look Upon a Star replaced Highway to the Stars (August to October 1947), and was itself replaced by Camera Headlines in January 1948.
Controversy
According to the November 1, 1947, edition of newspaper The Afro American, an episode in which an African-American male and a white female, both members of the Katherine Dunham dance troupe, appeared on Look Upon a Star. The couple performed a dance together on the show, which created a controversy, with more than 100 objecting letters being sent in.
In response, Joseph Cates, one of the producers of the series, was quoted as saying "as producers we exercise the democratic privilege of producing our own shows as we see fit. The prejudiced television viewer can exercise his democratic privilege of switching his dial off or to a different station".
Episode status
As with most DuMont series, no episodes are known to survive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDi%C5%BEkov%20tram%20depot | Žižkov tram depot () is a tram depot in Žižkov that has been part of the Prague tram network since 1912. The depot celebrated its centenary in 2012. There are seven tram depots in Prague (eight if you count the museum in old depot in Střešovice, nine if you count workshop depot in Hostivař), Žižkov is second oldest of those seven.
Žižkov depot is currently (September 2014) home to 77 Tatra T3SUCS trams, 6 T3R.PV trams and 41 T6A5 trams which are operated in pairs mostly on tram lines 1, 9, 11, 12, 14, 24 and 25.
All T3SUCS in Prague are supposed to be replaced with a new type of tram - Škoda 15T within the next few years. More than a hundred 15T's were delivered (to Pankrác and Vokovice depot), and many of T3SUCS were already put out of service, stored at yard of workshop-depot in Hostivař, and offered to purchase. However, due to technical issues of Škoda 14T trams which had to be withdrawn from service, some of the old T3SUCS are now temporally back.
It is not certain yet if Žižkov will operate 15T tram instead of T3SUCS, or some other depot will get new 15T trams and Žižkov will get some older trams from other depots, such as T6A5 from Strašnice tram depot or T3R.PV from Vokovice tram depot. The T6A5 model is also old and not much prospective; those cars located in Žižkov depot were built in 1996 and 1997. Elimination of this model is expected since the last of 250 15T's will be delivered in 2018.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P535 | The Asus P535 is a high performance Pocket PC(PPC) that was designed for business managers. It was launched by ASUSTeK Computer Inc. in November, 2006. At first, the Asus P535 ran with Microsoft(R) Window Mobile 5.0. However, it is upgradable to Microsoft(R) Windows mobile 6.5.
Network & Communication
For connectivity, the Asus P535 uses a 2G tri-band (GSM900/1800/1900 MHz) network, so 3G and Edge are not supported. However this device still can connect by WLAN (WiFi 802.11b+g).
Processor and Memory
The Asus P535 uses Intel Xscale(R) 520-MHz CPU, which was leading CPU-chip set in 2006. Users can switch the CPU mode to Power Saving, Standard, or Turbo. The PPC was released with the 64 MB of SDRAM and can support up to 128 MB of SDRAM.
Features
The Asus P535 has 2.0 megapixel Auto Focus(AF) camera with LED flash, macro mode, and video mode. The device was one of the first PPCs to uses a TFT resistive touchscreen. The screen has a size of 240x320 pixels with 65,536 colors. There is a Li-Ion battery of 1300 mAh capacity.
At the time, the Asus P535 provided advanced communication functions and had a high performance CPU. However, the fast CPU caused an amount of energy drain which resulted in a shorter battery life than other contemporary PPC devices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Forensic%20DNA%20Database%20of%20South%20Africa | The National Forensic DNA Database of South Africa (NFDD) is a national DNA database used in law enforcement in South Africa. The Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Act No. 37 of 2013 (the "DNA Act") provides for the expansion and administration of such a database in South Africa, enabling the South African Police Service (SAPS) to match forensic DNA profiles derived from samples collected at crime scenes with forensic DNA profiles of offenders convicted of, and suspects arrested for, offences listed in a new Schedule 8 of the amended Criminal Procedure Act of 1977.
Before the DNA Act: DCID
DNA profiling has been used in South African law enforcement since 1998, albeit without a legal framework prior to the commencement of the DNA Act. The DNA Criminal Intelligence Database (DCID) was developed by SAPS and is administered by the Biology Unit of the SAPS Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).
The repository of DNA Profiles held by the FSL prior to the commencement of the DNA Act comprises two indices, namely a Casework Index containing forensic DNA profiles derived from biological samples collected from crime scenes and a Reference Index containing forensic DNA profiles of known people, including victims, suspects, volunteers and personnel. The Criminal Procedure Act of 1977 currently prevents DNA samples from being taken from convicted offenders. The DNA profiles in the DCID are generated by analysing an AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus STR multiplex system of 9 different STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820) plus Amelogenin for sex determination. There were approximately 80,000 DNA profiles on the DCID in 2007, with the number increasing to approximately 180,000 by late 2013.
DNA Act: NFDD
The Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Act No. 37 of 2013 (the "DNA Act") provides for the expansion, regulation and administration of a national DNA database known as the National Forensic DNA Database of South Africa (NFDD). The initial Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Bill drafted in 2008 was tabled in Parliament in 2009 and subsequently split into two separate bills.
The Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Bill [B2–2009], dealing with fingerprints and other body-prints, was assented to in 2010 and came into effect on 18 January 2013. A separate bill unofficially known as the "DNA Bill" was re-introduced to Parliament in May 2013. It addresses various concerns that arose regarding the initial bill, including those relating to human rights issues. The final version of the DNA Bill, namely the Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Amendment Bill [B9D–2013], was passed by the National Assembly on 12 November 2013, and was assented to by President Jacob Zuma on 23 January 2014. The commencement date of the DNA Act is 31 January 2015.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local%20Investing%20Opportunity%20Network | A Local Investing Opportunity Network, known as a (LION), is a loosely organized group of people who meet regularly with the goal of investing money in their local community. The group will generally consist of individuals who have money to invest and people who might be in a position where they would be seeking investors. The LION is designed to create opportunities for local businesses, individuals, and local investors to network and develop informal relationships. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has created some very specific laws about how one can ask for money. These laws limit any kind of public offerings of shares/interest in a company (i.e. securities), unless there are proper filings and the people investing are considered accredited investors. There is a general exemption that the SEC does not regulate where the investors are friends with the people they are investing in. The LION hosts informal gatherings with the idea that friendships would form and the SEC guidelines would not be violated when any investments occur. The LION also documents who attends the gatherings as a means of creating a paper trail proving that the individuals involved in an investment had the opportunity to form an informal relationship.
The LION does not facilitate any dealings, nor does it allow businesses to make pitches soliciting investments to the group. All investments that might occur as a result of the LION meetings would occur outside of a LION meeting and be wholly arranged by the individuals involved in that business dealing.
The first Local Investing Opportunity Network was formed in Port Townsend, Washington as part of the Transition Towns movement.
They have since been launched in many other areas including New York, New York, Portland, Oregon, Humboldt County, California, Ithaca, New York, Berkshire County, Massachusetts and Columbia County, New York, and Lake County, California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip%20Wolfe%20%28mathematician%29 | Philip Starr "Phil" Wolfe (August 11, 1927 – December 29, 2016) was an American mathematician and one of the founders of convex optimization theory and mathematical programming.
Life
Wolfe received his bachelor's degree, masters, and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. He and his wife, Hallie, lived in Ossining, New York.
Career
In 1954, he was offered an instructorship at Princeton, where he worked on generalizations of linear programming, such as quadratic programming and general non-linear programming, leading to the Frank–Wolfe algorithm in joint work with Marguerite Frank, then a visitor at Princeton. When Maurice Sion was on sabbatical at the Institute for Advanced Study, Sion and Wolfe published in 1957 an example of a zero-sum game without a minimax value.
Wolfe joined RAND corporation in 1957, where he worked with George Dantzig, resulting in the now well known Dantzig–Wolfe decomposition method.
In 1965, he moved to IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York.
Honors and awards
He received the John von Neumann Theory Prize in 1992, jointly with Alan Hoffman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway%20to%20the%20Stars | Highway to the Stars was an early American live television soap opera, which was broadcast on New York City station WABD, flagship station of the DuMont Television Network, from August to October 1947, at which point it was replaced with Look Upon a Star, itself eventually replaced with Camera Headlines in January 1948.
Patricia Jones played the lead role, and also starred in the NBC series Martin Kane, Private Eye (1951). Highway to the Stars aired on Tuesdays at 7:30pm ET, not Thursdays as stated in Billboard. Like many other local series on WABD, it may have been considered eligible to be picked up as a network series.
Premise
The premise was described by Billboard as "the travails of a corn-bred gal warbler [singer] trying to make good in the big town".
Episode status
As with most DuMont series, no episodes are known to exist. Methods to record live television, such as kinescopes were only just becoming available by the time the series ended. The network probably thought there was no need to record the series in the first place, given that it aired on a single station only, though a couple kinescopes do remain of WABD's local programming of the following year (1948).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here%27s%20How%20%28TV%20series%29 | Here's How was an early American television program which aired in 1946 on New York City television station WABD, which later that year became flagship station of the DuMont Television Network. The program was sponsored by Super Suds. An early experiment in television programming, segments in one of the episodes included a demonstration on how to clean windows, a segment on how a woman was chosen as model of the year, and a slapstick "chef satire". It was produced by Al Foster.
Reception
Billboard panned the first episode of the series, saying that "half the material, better acted and better scripted, better lighted and better directed would have made a program"
The magazine reviewed the third episode more positively, saying that "after two scannings, Super Suds' Station WABD's Here's How has eliminated most of the bugs that were in its first presentation".
Episode status
Methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947, and as such Here's How is now lost. Billboard magazine indicates that some of the commercials were done on film, and it is not known if copies of these commercials still exist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian%20Medical%20Students%27%20Association | The Australian Medical Students' Association (AMSA) is an independent association of the 17,000 medical students in Australia. AMSA was formed in 1960 in Brisbane, as a conference organised to network medical students from Australia. It has since grown to become the peak representative body for Australia's medical students—serving a mandate to connect, inform and represent medical students in Australia. Its tri-annual Council meetings include representatives from medical societies at each of Australia's 23 medical schools.
AMSA is a member of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations.
History
In 1960, medical students from around Australia met in Brisbane for their first national conference. Never before had Australian medical students come together as one body to discuss ideas, share information and voice their opinions and concerns. Since then, the Australian Medical Students' Association has grown and evolved into one of Australia's largest student representative bodies.

Advocacy
2020 advocacy priorities
National Advocacy Priorities are determined through a National Survey distributed around August. The survey allows medical students to provide input into the national priorities for the following year, and comment on what is most important to them. Each comment is read and national priorities created off that. At the meeting of the third National AMSA Council of each year, AMSA presents the advocacy priorities. For 2020, they are as follows;
National Priorities
Improving medical student mental health and wellbeing
Preventing increases in medical student numbers and establishment of new medical schools
Action on sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination in medicine
Increasing intake onto specialty training programs that align with workforce demand, with a particular focus on regional and rural areas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexenta%20Systems | Nexenta by DDN, Inc., is a subsidiary of DataDirect Networks that markets computer software for data storage and backup, headquartered in San Jose, California. Nexenta develops the products NexentaStor, NexentaCloud, NexentaFusion, and NexentaEdge. It was founded as Nexenta Systems, Inc., in 2005.
History
Origins
In 2005, Nexenta was founded by Alex Aizman and Dmitry Yusupov, software developers and former executives at network vendor Silverback (later acquired by Brocade). Aizman and Yusupov previously worked together as the authors of the open source iSCSI initiator software in the Linux kernel.
The company was created to support the open source Nexenta OS project after Sun Microsystems released the bulk of its Solaris operating system under free software licenses as OpenSolaris. Nexenta OS was an operating system that integrated Sun's Solaris kernel and core technologies with applications from the popular Debian and Ubuntu operating systems.
Nexenta has been acquired by DataDirect Networks, it claims to aim for "a developer of high-performance storage for modern workloads including artificial intelligence and big data", in May 2019.
Data storage
The company's entry into the data storage included use at Stanford University in 2012 and 2013.
The field had been dominated by companies such as EMC Corporation, DataDirect Networks and NetApp, who sold hardware storage appliances.
Nexenta intended to compete by creating a storage system that did not require specialized hardware. Instead of producing hardware, the company would provide software to run on lower-costing commodity computing hardware, a model later marketed as software defined storage.
Partnerships and open source
Much of Nexenta's business comes from partners that provide hardware and services alongside Nexenta software. The company's software is pre-installed on storage systems from vendors including Supermicro, Cisco Systems and Dell.
Nexenta continued to contribute to free and open source software used in its products. When Oracle Corporation discontinued OpenSolaris in 2010, the company became a founding member of the illumos open source project that would replace it.
Products
Nexenta's product NexentaStor is software for network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) services. NexentaStor was derived from the Nexenta OS based on the illumos operating system. The software runs on commodity hardware and creates storage virtualization pools consisting of multiple hard disk drives and solid-state drives. Data can be organized in a flexible number of filesystems and block storage, and files can be accessed over the Network File System (NFS) and CIFS protocols, while block storage uses iSCSI or Fibre Channel protocols. NexentaStor allows online snapshots to be taken of data and replicated to other systems. For high availability Nexenta uses RSF-1 cluster to build a HA storage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed%20Overlay%20Virtual%20Ethernet | Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) is a tunneling and virtualization technology for computer networks, created and backed by IBM. DOVE allows creation of network virtualization layers for deploying, controlling, and managing multiple independent and isolated network applications over a shared physical network infrastructure.
Overview
The tunneling format is decoupled from the logical network view offered by DOVE, and defines only the way frames are encapsulated to be transferred by the underlying network infrastructure. As a notable difference from other network virtualization solutions (such as OTV), this allows DOVE not to be limited to providing OSI layer 2 emulation only (for example, passing Ethernet frames).
Logical components of the DOVE architecture are DOVE controllers and DOVE switches (abbreviated as dSwitch). DOVE controllers perform management functions, and one part of the control plane functions across DOVE switches. DOVE switches perform the encapsulation of layer 2 frames into UDP packets using the Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) frame format, and provide virtual interfaces for virtual machines to plug into, similarly to how physical Ethernet switches provide ports for network interface controller (NIC) connections. DOVE switches are running as part of virtual machine hypervisors.
Advantages
Primary advantages of DOVE include the following:
No dependency on the underlying physical network and protocols
Use of the existing IP network infrastructure
No addresses of virtual machines are present in Ethernet switches, resulting in smaller MAC tables and less complex STP layouts
No limitations related to the Virtual LAN (VLAN) technology, resulting in more than 16 million possible separate networks, compared to the VLAN's limit of 4,000
No dependency on the IP multicast traffic
Implementations
, DOVE components are implemented as part of VMware's hypervisors, while implementations for the Linux KVM and Open vSwitch are planned.
DOVE extensions for VXLAN were merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 3.8, which was released on February 18, 2013. Appropriate extensions to related userspace configuration utilities were added into version 3.8.0 of the iproute2 utilities, which was released on February 21, 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin%20c%C3%B3digo | Sin código () was an Argentine telenovela that aired from 2004 to 2006 on the El Trece television network. It was produced by Pol-Ka, and the main actors were Adrián Suar, Nancy Dupláa, and Nicolás Cabré. It was nominated in several categories for the Martín Fierro Awards in 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won three times in 2005.
Plot
Gabriel Nielsen (Suar) and Oso (Antonio Grimau) have a private security company known as Nielsen Security. Axel (Cabré), the son of Oso, wants to join it but he is rejected. When Oso is murdered, Gabriel and Axel join forces to capture the criminal. In the second season, most employees resign, and policewoman Antonia López (Dupláa) joins the agency.
Awards
Sin código received two nominations for the 2004 Martín Fierro Awards, as best miniseries and best actor in a miniseries (Cabré). It did not win the award in either category. At the 2005 ceremony for the same awards, the program received several nominations. Rita Cortese, nominated alongside Griselda Siciliani, won the Martín Fierro for secondary actress in comedy; Siciliani won the Martín Fierro for new actress. Favio Posca, Nicolás Scarpino and Alfredo Casero were nominated as best secondary actors in a comedy series; Scarpino won the award. Other unsuccessful nominations were best comedy, lead actor in a comedy series (Suar) and lead actress in a comedy series (Dupláa). It received two nominations in 2006, for lead actress in a comedy series (Dupláa) and supporting actor in a comedy series (Scarpino), but did not win either award.
In other media
Sin código had a spin-off, the 2011 superhero live action television series Los únicos, in which Cabré reprised his role as Axel. In the first episodes Cabré had telephone discussions with Gabriel Nielsen; Suar (who is also the head of Pol-Ka, the producers of the program) reprised his character in April. Siciliani worked on Los únicos as well, but with a new character. She made a cameo with her former character, while still working with her current one.
Suar had plans to make a film out of the series. The first testings would be made in January 2006, and the filming would begin on February. However, when he returned from his vacation in January, he cancelled the project. This angered Cabré and Dupláa, who had rejected other plans for that year to take part in the film. Dupláa stayed for some months in Spain with her husband, and Cabré moved to rival channel Telefe. Suar temporarily gave up acting and focused on his work as producer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skimlinks | Skimlinks is a content monetization platform for online publishers (including editorial sites, forums, bloggers, social networks, and app developers). It specializes in technology that automatically affiliates product links from publishers' commerce content.
The company was founded in London (2007) by Australian co-founders Alicia Navarro and Joe Stepniewski. It has over 62 employees, and has raised $24 million in funding as of August 2013. It has offices in London and New York City.
On October 17, 2013, Skimlinks was announced as a member of Tech City UK's Future Fifty Programme, a government programme that supports fast-growing companies with the aim of potentially floating in the London Stock Exchange. In 2014, Skimlinks drove $625 million in sales for over 20,000 vendors.
History
Founding
Skimlinks was founded in 2007 by co-founders Alicia Navarro and Joe Stepniewski as a result of a pivot away from the social recommendation tool Skimbit.com. It is notable as one of the first technology companies headquartered in what is now known as the Silicon Roundabout area in London.
Alicia Navarro created Skimbit.com in 2006 in Australia, but moved to London to build her business as she felt it was a much more supportive environment for entrepreneurs. Skimbit was relatively successful and quickly evolved into a white-label social shopping service.
In November 2008, Joe Stepniewski was brought on as co-founder. Together with Navarro they realized that both users and investors weren't interested in their end-product, but in the behind-the-scenes technology they were using to monetize their site through affiliate marketing. As a result, they pivoted the company into what it is today - a "stand-alone commercial platform to help publishers monetize their editorial and user-generated content."
Alicia Navarro has been featured in a number of prominent publications, highlighting her role as one of the few female CEOs in the ad-tech world. She was also recently announced as the winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year Award during the 2014 edition of the FDM everywoman in Technology Awards.
Partnership with Pinterest
In February 2012, LL Social, an online marketing blog, broke the news that Pinterest was using Skimlinks to monetize content posted by its users. Commercial links included in Pins were being affiliated via Skimlinks. Although the partnership had been ongoing for 2 years, Pinterest had just recently grown exponentially in popularity and the news was badly received. Most of the backlash centered on the company's failure to disclose its monetization practices rather than its decision to monetize users' content. Though it was claimed that the revelations prompted Pinterest to drop its affiliation with Skimlinks, Pinterest's CEO, Ben Silbermann, clarified that they had actually been using Skimlinks as a test while they explored various monetization solutions and had stopped using the service a week before the news broke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%2A | P* (pronounced "P-star") is a programming language meant to be useful in web development for creating dynamic HTML documents. The language provides syntax for templates and prepared SQL-statements. P* programs are scripts which are run by the P* interpreter.
Syntax
The syntax is inspired from other C-family languages. Program Blocks starts with the open curly bracket { and ends with the close curly bracket }.
Scenes and templates
The code of a P* program is placed into scenes, and the HTML markup is typically placed inside templates. A scene is a special type of function which does not take arguments. All programs must provide exactly one scene called 'main', which is the first to run by the interpreter.
A small P* web page, where the code for the program sits inside the scene called 'main' and the HTML markup is put inside a template, can look like this:
HTML_TEMPLATE body {
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Hello world web page</title></head>
<body>
<p>{@text}</p>
</body>
</html>
}
SCENE main {
string text = "Hello World!";
#CONTENT_TYPE text/html;
#HTML_TEMPLATE body;
}
When scenes and templates in P* are called, the callee inherits all variables which is available from where the call is made. This is opposed to when functions are called, where only a set of parameters is passed.
Data types
P* provides eight basic types for storing data in variables. All variables is required to have a type, but P* automatically converts between them.
In the following example program, one variable, int a, is assigned the value 2, and another variable, string b is assigned the text string "3". When the operator + is run, the left associativity of the operator will lead to an implicit conversion of the right argument to the same type as the left side (type int) before the addition is performed.
SCENE main {
int a = 2;
string b = "3";
echo "The sum is " . (a + b) . "\n";
}
Implementation
P* programs are run by the P* interpreter. A typical way to run scripts is to include a shebang on the first line of the scripts (like #!/usr/bin/wpl -f) and execute the scripts from the shell, or placing the scripts inside CGI-configured directories of a webserver. An interpreter module for the Apache web server is also available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois%20Fages | François Fages (August 23, 1959) is a French computer scientist known for contributions in the areas of unification theory, rule-based modelling, logic programming, concurrent constraint logic programming, computational biology and systems biology.
Early life and education
Fages was born in Paris, France. He studied Mathematics and Physics at Université Paris-Sud, Computer Science at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie and received his PhD from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie under the supervision of Gérard Huet, in 1983 at age 23.
Career
Fages took a junior researcher position from CNRS at Ecole Normale Supérieure, and became in addition, part-time teacher at Ecole Polytechnique from 1985 to 1998, and part-time consultant at Thomson-CSF (now Thales Group) research center from 1985 to 1996.
Since 1999, he is a senior researcher at the Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique (INRIA), the French national research institute on computer science and control.
He is known in unification theory for having shown the non-existence of minimal sets of unifiers in some equational theories (conjecture of Plotkin, 1972),
and the decidability of associative-commutative unification in presence of several function symbols (conjecture of Stickel, 1981).
In rule-based modelling, he is known for having created in 1988 a reactive rule-based language at Thomson-CSF (now Thalès group), which was later industrialized by ILOG (now IBM-Ilog) and became ILOG-Rules in 1996.
Fages theorem states that in a logic program with negations, but without circuits through an odd number of negations, the stable models of the program coincide with the Herbrand models of its Clark's completion.
This result has shown useful for implementing stable model semantics with classical propositional satisfiability solvers.
In concurrent constraint logic programming, he has established with Paul Ruet and Sylvain Soliman the logical semantics of concurrent constraint programs in Jean-Yves Girard's linear logic.
This result has been generalized to Constraint handling rules and to the asynchronous Pi-calculus.
In 2010 Fages co-ordinated a project to use mathematics to improve the packing of light bulbs and other oddly shaped products.
In 2014 Fages works in computational systems biology,
coordinates the development of the Biochemical Abstract Machine (BIOCHAM) rule-based modeling and logical analysis software and studies biochemical processes in the cell cycle and in cell signaling.
In 2014, he received the Monpetit Prize from the French Academy of Sciences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numba | Numba is an open-source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy into fast machine code using LLVM, via the llvmlite Python package. It offers a range of options for parallelising Python code for CPUs and GPUs, often with only minor code changes.
Numba was started by Travis Oliphant in 2012 and has since been under active development at its repository in GitHub with frequent releases. The project is driven by developers at Anaconda, Inc., with support by DARPA, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Intel, Nvidia and AMD, and a community of contributors on GitHub.
Example
Numba can be used by simply applying the numba.jit decorator to a Python function that does numerical computations:
import numba
import random
@numba.jit
def monte_carlo_pi(n_samples: int) -> float:
"""Monte Carlo"""
acc = 0
for i in range(n_samples):
x = random.random()
y = random.random()
if (x**2 + y**2) < 1.0:
acc += 1
return 4.0 * acc / n_samples
The just-in-time compilation happens transparently when the function is called:
>>> monte_carlo_pi(1000000)
3.14
Numba's website contains many more examples, as well as information on how to get good performance from Numba.
GPU support
Numba can compile Python functions to GPU code. Initially two backends are available:
Nvidia CUDA, see
AMD ROCm HSA, see
Since release 0.56.4, AMD ROCm HSA has been officially moved to unmaintained status and a separate repository stub has been created for it.
Alternative approaches
Numba is one approach to make Python fast, by compiling specific functions that contain
Python and Numpy code. Many alternative approaches for fast numeric computing with Python exist, such as Cython, Pythran, and PyPy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEDBAT | Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT) is a way to transfer data on the Internet quickly without clogging the network. LEDBAT was invented by Stanislav Shalunov and is used by Apple for software updates, by BitTorrent for most of its transfers and by Microsoft SCCM software distribution points. At one point in time, LEDBAT was estimated to carry 13–20% of Internet traffic. LEDBAT is a delay-based congestion control algorithm that uses all the available bandwidth while limiting the increase in delay; it does so by measuring one-way delay and using changes in the measurements to limit congestion that the LEDBAT flow itself induces in the network. LEDBAT is described in RFC 6817.
Design goals
LEDBAT congestion control has the following goals:
Use all available bandwidth, and to maintain a low queueing delay when no other traffic is present,
Limit the queuing delay it adds to that induced by other traffic, and
To yield quickly to standard TCP that share the same bottleneck link.
Implementations and deployment
The two main implementations are uTP by BitTorrent and as part of TCP by Apple. BitTorrent uses uTP for most traffic and makes the code available under an open-source license. Apple uses LEDBAT for Software Updates so that large software downloads to macOS computers and iOS devices do not interfere with normal user activities; Apple also makes the source code available.
Both of the above implementations aim to limit the network queuing delay to 100ms. This is the maximum allowed for by the standardized protocol. If one used a lower value, then it would be starved when the other was in use.
Windows 10 Anniversary Update introduced support for LEDBAT via undocumented socket option as an experimental Windows TCP Congestion Control Module and Windows Server 2019.
Example
Assumptions:
The clocks of the sender and the receiver are not synchronized.
The sender sends at a fixed rate.
The sender sends 5 packets of data every 10 clock counts: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. The units are unimportant. The receiver is receiving data not only from this particular sender but also from other sources. For the 5 packets that were sent, the receiver receives them at the following clock counts: 112, 135, 176, 250, 326. The first differences (one way delay) between the received and sent clock counts are: 102, 115, 146, 210, 276. The second differences (change in one way delay) are: 13 (115 - 102), 31, 64 and 66. The receiver will infer from the positive increase in one way delays that congestion is increasing and adjust the transfer rate accordingly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular%20Show%20%28season%206%29 | The sixth season of American animated comedy television series Regular Show, created by J. G. Quintel, originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States. Quintel created the series' pilot using characters from his comedy shorts for the canceled anthology series The Cartoonstitute. He developed Regular Show from his own experiences in college. Simultaneously, several of the show's main characters originated from his animated shorts The Naïve Man from Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM. Following its fifth season's success, Regular Show was renewed for a sixth season on October 29, 2013. The season ran from October 9, 2014 to June 25, 2015, and was produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
Regular Shows sixth season was storyboarded and written by Calvin Wong, Ryan Pequin, Benton Connor, Sarah Oleksyk, Madeline Queripel, Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Owen Dennis, and Casey Crowe. For this season, the writers were J. G. Quintel, Mike Roth, John Infantino, Sean Szeles, Michele Cavin, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor.
Development
Concept
Two 23-year-old friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby, are employed as groundskeepers at a park and spend their days trying to slack off and entertain themselves by any means. This is much to the chagrin of their boss Benson and their coworker Skips, but the delight of Pops. Their other coworkers, Muscle Man (an overweight green man) and Hi-Five Ghost (a ghost with a hand extending from the top of his head) serve as their rivals.
Production
Many of the characters are loosely based on those developed for Quintel's student films at California Institute of the Arts: The Naive Man From Lolliland and 2 in the AM PM. Quintel pitched Regular Show for Cartoon Network's Cartoonstitute project, in which the network allowed artists to create pilots with no notes to be optioned as a show possibly. After being green-lit, Quintel recruited several indie comic book artists to compose the show's staff, as their style matched close to what he desired for the series. The season was storyboarded and written by Calvin Wong, Ryan Pequin, Benton Connor, Sarah Oleksyk, Madeline Queripel, Minty Lewis, Toby Jones, Owen Dennis, and Casey Crowe. For this season, the writers were J. G. Quintel, Mike Roth, John Infantino, Sean Szeles, Michele Cavin, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor, while being produced by Cartoon Network Studios. This was the last season Roth was involved in, before he left to work with the Cartoon Network Studios shorts program; in which Szeles took his place as sole supervising producer.
The sixth season of Regular Show was produced between September 2013 and August
2014. It utilizes double entendres and mild language; Quintel stated that, although the network wanted to step up from the more child-oriented fare, some restrictions came with this switch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport%20in%20Copenhagen | Transport in Copenhagen and the surrounding area relies on a well established infrastructure making it a hub in Northern Europe thanks to its road and rail networks as well as its international airport. Thanks to its many cycle tracks, Copenhagen is considered to be one of the world's most bicycle-friendly cities. The metro and S-train systems are key features of the city's well-developed public transport facilities. Since July 2000, the Øresund Bridge has served as a road and rail link to Malmö in Sweden. The city is also served by ferry connections to Oslo in Norway while its award-winning harbour is an ever more popular port of call for cruise ships.
Roads
Copenhagen has a large network of toll-free motorways and public roads connecting different municipalities of the city together and to Northern Europe. As in many other cities in Europe traffic is increasing in Copenhagen. The radial arterial roads leading to Copenhagen city centre are critically congested during peak hours.
In October 2011, heated, political talks of plans about road tolls around Copenhagen in order to combat the car congestion and improve the air quality arose. Discussions were abandoned in February 2012 due to disagreement of the physical locations of the toll road boundaries and political deadlock.
Cycling
Copenhagen is known as one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. Every day 1.1 million km are bicycled in Copenhagen. 45% of all citizens commute to work, school or university by bicycle and it is municipal policy that this number should have gone up to 40% by 2012 and to 50% in 2015. The city's bicycle paths and cycle tracks are extensive and well used. Bicycle paths are often separated from the main traffic lanes and sometimes have their own signal systems, giving the cyclists a lead of a couple of seconds to accelerate.
The municipality is also developing a system of interconnected green bicycle routes, greenways, the aim being to facilitate fast, safe, and pleasant bicycle transport from one end of the city to the other. The network will cover more than and will have 22 routes when finished. The city provides public bicycles which can be found throughout the downtown area.
Copenhagen's well-developed bicycle culture is reflected in the use of copenhagenise to describe the practice of other cities adopting Copenhagen-style bike lanes and bicycle infrastructure. In 2007, Copenhagen-based Danish urban design consultant Jan Gehl was hired by the New York City Department of Transportation to re-imagine New York City streets by introducing designs to improve life for pedestrians and cyclists. In recognition of Copenhagen's emphasis on bicycling, the city was chosen by the Union Cycliste Internationale as their first official Bike City. Bike City Copenhagen took place from 2008 to 2011 and consisted of large cycling events for professionals as well as amateurs, culminating in the 2011 UCI Road World Championships.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zello | Zello is a tech software company in Austin, Texas, U.S., known for the Zello app, which emulates push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkies over cell phone networks.
History
Alexey Gavrilov developed the product originally called Loudtalks which was announced at the TechCrunch 40 Mobile and Communications Conference on September 17, 2007. Zello acquired the Loudtalks technology, rebranded, and moved the development team to Austin. It added apps on June 20, 2012. Bill Moore is the CEO and Gavrilov is CPO. Moore founded and was CEO of TuneIn where Gavrilov and his team created popular TuneIn applications.
Zello made the news in June 2013 when Turkish protesters used it to circumvent government censors. As a result Zello was the top most downloaded application in Turkey during the first week of June 2013.
In February 2014, it was blocked by CANTV in Venezuela. Zello released workarounds and patches to overcome the blocks to support approximately 600,000 Venezuelans who have downloaded the application to communicate with each other amidst protests. It "has been one of the most downloaded applications in Ukraine and Venezuela."
In July 2017, in Latvia, Zello was the main application which was used by thousands of volunteers and rescuers for communication purposes while looking for Ivan Berladin who went missing.
In August 2017 during relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Zello became a popular method for communications between volunteer rescuers (particularly members of the Cajun Navy) and people stranded by the widespread flooding. The app received over 6 million signups in one week as Florida residents responded to hurricane warnings for Hurricane Irma.
In September 2018, while Hurricane Florence caused unprecedented flooding in the US states of North and South Carolina, rescuers used Zello to request information about the locations of people needing help and on street conditions.
On August 27, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives select committee investigating the 2021 United States Capitol attack demanded records from Zello (alongside 14 other social media companies) going back to the spring of 2020.
Members of the 2022 Freedom Convoy have almost exclusively used Zello to communicate with other members and supporters.
Products
Zello is a live voice push-to-talk communication platform that turns any smart device into a digital two-way radio that works over Wi-Fi and cell networks anywhere in the world. Purpose-built to connect frontline teams and communities, the push-to-talk walkie-talkie app offers instant voice communication with one or many in unlimited secure, private channels, as well as message replay, emergency alerts, location tracking, dispatch capabilities, and Bluetooth device support.
Zello users can create channels and give control to other Zello users to become moderators. New York Times' technology columnist David Pogue describes Zello's channels, "Like most of the best applications, Zello lets you create groups |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox%20system%20software | The Xbox system software is the operating system developed exclusively for Microsoft's Xbox home video game consoles. Across the four generations of Xbox consoles, the software has been based on a version of Microsoft Windows and incorporating DirectX features optimized for the home consoles. The user interface, the Xbox Dashboard, provides access to games, media players, and applications, and integrates with the Xbox network for online functionality.
Though initial iterations of the software for the original Xbox and Xbox 360 were based on heavily modified versions of Windows, the newer consoles feature operating systems that are highly compatible with Microsoft's desktop operating systems, allowing for shared applications and ease-of-development between personal computers and the Xbox line.
Common features
Across all four generations of the Xbox platform, the user interface of the system software has been called the Xbox Dashboard. While its appearance and detailed functions have varied between console generations, the Dashboard has provided the user the means to start a game from the optical media loaded into the console or off the console's storage, launch audio and video players to play optical media discs, or start special applications for the Xbox such as streaming media services from third parties. The Dashboard also provides a menu of settings and configuration pages for the console that the user can adjust.
The Dashboard has supported integration with the Xbox Live service since November 2002. Xbox Live provides online functionality to the Xbox, including friends list, game achievement tracking, matchmaking support for online games, in-game communications, and a digital game storefront. While some portions of the Xbox Live service are free, a subscription-tier Xbox Live Gold is generally required to play most multiplayer games on the console.
Starting with the Xbox 360 and continuing through its current consoles, Microsoft has offered a means for users to opt into a beta test version of the console's system software. When first launched for the Xbox 360 in September 2010, this was called the Xbox Live Preview Program, and initially required an invitation from Microsoft after applying for the program. On the release of the Xbox One in 2014, the program was renamed to Xbox Preview Program, and Microsoft made this program open to all rather than restricting through invitation. Later in November 2016 rebranded to the Xbox Insider Program, corresponding to the similar Windows Insider program for those testing its computer operating system. With the Xbox Insider Program, testing not only included updates to the system software but upcoming game and application patches from both first and third-parties.
Each iteration of the Xbox software has brought some form of backward compatibility to the newer console. On the Xbox 360, selected original Xbox games could be played through emulation after downloading an emulation profile to local stora |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story%20generator | A story generator or plot generator is a tool that generates basic narratives or plot ideas. The generator could be in the form of a computer program, a chart with multiple columns, a book composed of panels that flip independently of one another, or a set of several adjacent reels that spin independently of one another, allowing a user to select elements of a narrative plot. The tool may allow the user to select elements for the narrative, or it may combine them randomly, a specific variation known as a random plot generator. Such tools can be created for virtually any genre, although they tend to produce formulaic and hackneyed situations.
Overview
Plot generators were described as early as the late 1920s, with Plotto; a new method of plot suggestion for writers of creative fiction, by William Wallace Cook, appearing in 1928. Plotto is a non-random plot generator; the reader makes all the decisions within the framework set out by the book.
In an article originally published in 1935 and reprinted in 2002, Robert J. Hogan described a book-based device called the Plot Genie which consisted of three lists of 180 items each: murder victims in the first list, crime locations in the second list, and important clues in the third list. The item to use from each list was chosen by spinning a dial with 180 numbers on it. Hogan also mentions other similar devices such as The 36 Dramatic Situations and Plotto (see above).
The earliest computerized story generator was TALE-SPIN, an artificial intelligence program developed in the 1970s. More recently in the 1990s, the computer program MEXICA was developed for academic research into automated plot generation. It produces plots related to the Mexica people. Using an approach similar to that of MEXICA, the program ProtoPropp generates stories related to Russian folklore. There are a large number of "random plot generators" available on the internet—generic and relating to specific fandoms, with a certain amount of academic research into the subject.
The term story generator algorithms (SGAs) refers to computational procedures resulting in an artifact that can be considered a story. In the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the automated generation of stories has been a subject of research for over fifty years. An algorithm is understood as a set of instructions that, when applied to a given input, produces an output. In the present context, the desired output is a story. The underlying concept of “story” in SGAs is functional and does not imply any aesthetic notion. This is important because it sets the context for evaluation of generated stories, for which having a surface realization as a readable and appealing text is not necessarily a core issue.
GPT-2 (2019) could be used to generate stories, if given appropriate prompts. "TalkToTransformer.com", released later that year, offered an accessible front-end to the public to use GPT-2's technology to generate stories. AI Dungeon, also layered on GPT-2 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%20Brain | Google Brain was a deep learning artificial intelligence research team under the umbrella of Google AI, a research division at Google dedicated to artificial intelligence. Formed in 2011, Google Brain combined open-ended machine learning research with information systems and large-scale computing resources. The team has created tools such as TensorFlow, which allow for neural networks to be used by the public, with multiple internal AI research projects. The team aims to create research opportunities in machine learning and natural language processing. The team was merged into former Google sister company DeepMind to form Google DeepMind in April 2023.
History
The Google Brain project began in 2011 as a part-time research collaboration between Google fellow Jeff Dean, Google Researcher Greg Corrado, and Stanford University professor Andrew Ng. Ng had been interested in using deep learning techniques to crack the problem of artificial intelligence since 2006, and in 2011 began collaborating with Dean and Corrado to build a large-scale deep learning software system, DistBelief, on top of Google's cloud computing infrastructure. Google Brain started as a Google X project and became so successful that it was graduated back to Google: Astro Teller has said that Google Brain paid for the entire cost of Google X.
In June 2012, the New York Times reported that a cluster of 16,000 processors in 1,000 computers dedicated to mimicking some aspects of human brain activity had successfully trained itself to recognize a cat based on 10 million digital images taken from YouTube videos. The story was also covered by National Public Radio.
In March 2013, Google hired Geoffrey Hinton, a leading researcher in the deep learning field, and acquired the company DNNResearch Inc. headed by Hinton. Hinton said that he would be dividing his future time between his university research and his work at Google.
In April 2023, Google Brain merged with Google sister company DeepMind to form Google DeepMind, as part of the company's continued efforts to accelerate work on AI.
Team and location
Google Brain was initially established by Google Fellow Jeff Dean and visiting Stanford professor Andrew Ng. In 2014, the team included Jeff Dean, Quoc Le, Ilya Sutskever, Alex Krizhevsky, Samy Bengio, and Vincent Vanhoucke. In 2017, team members included Anelia Angelova, Samy Bengio, Greg Corrado, George Dahl, Michael Isard, Anjuli Kannan, Hugo Larochelle, Chris Olah, Salih Edneer, Benoit Steiner, Vincent Vanhoucke, Vijay Vasudevan, and Fernanda Viegas. Chris Lattner, who created Apple's programming language Swift and then ran Tesla's autonomy team for six months, joined Google Brain's team in August 2017. Lattner left the team in January 2020 and joined SiFive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick%20and%20Morty | Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of Rick Sanchez, a cynical mad scientist, and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often traveling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick's flying saucer. The general concept of Rick and Morty relies on two conflicting scenarios: domestic family drama, and a misanthropic grandfather dragging his grandson into hijinks.
Roiland voiced the eponymous characters, with Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of Rick and Morty's family. The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future created by Roiland for Channel 101, a short-film festival cofounded by Harmon. Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two Annie Awards. At times, the series has been the most viewed television comedy for adults between 18 and 24. The popularity of Rick and Morty has made it a hundred-million dollar merchandising and media franchise.
A seventh season was confirmed as part of a long-term deal with Cartoon Network that ordered 70 new episodes, which renewed the series through to a tenth season. Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland in 2023 amid allegations of domestic abuse and recast his roles with soundalike actors in season 7, which premiered on October 15, 2023.
Premise and main characters
The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household, which consists of parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth's father, Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. According to Justin Roiland, the family lives outside of Seattle, Washington. The adventures of Rick and Morty, however, take place across an infinite number of realities, with the characters traveling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick's flying saucer.
Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist, who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school, marriage, love, and family. He frequently goes on adventures with his 14-year-old grandson, Morty, a kind-hearted but easily distressed boy, whose naïve but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick's Machiavellian ego. Morty's 17-year-old sister, Summer, is a more conventional teenager who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures. The kids' mother, Beth, is a generally level-headed person and assertive force in the household, though self-conscious about her professional role as a horse surgeo |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalMR | DigitalMR which since August 2021 is known as DMR is a tech company specialised in using Artificial Intelligence to create intelligent datasets and solve business problems. With its headquarters in London - UK, parent company in Cyprus, and team members in multiple countries, it offers its SaaS solutions globally. Founded in 2010, the company has individual staff memberships, with YPO, ESOMAR, MRS (Market Research Society), SMRA .
History
In August 2010 when DigitalMR was established, founder, Michalis Michael, had been MD for Western Europe at Masmi, and prior to that, head of the global online division at Synovate, a multinational in market research ranking number 6 globally at the time. Masmi - a current client - has supported the company from the start, in fact DigitalMR was incubated from within Masmi in London. The first advisory board was made up of the following individuals: Dr.Nicos Rossides; CEO at Masmi, Steve Alexander; president at Symmetrics, Stavros Hadjiyiangou; Managing Partner at A.T.A Associates LLP, Simon Preston; CEO at risebeyond.org and former Young Presidents' Organization international chairman, Peter Nathanial; partner at Impala partners and former Group Chief Risk Officer for RBS, and Neil Everitt; investor and entrepreneur.
In August 2011, Michalis Michael participated in an online debate on research and privacy in relation to social media, hosted by GreenBook blog. Michael supported that if the new ESOMAR and MRS guidelines on privacy, anonymity, and consent were to be implemented, software development companies would probably prevail in the sector. He was the first one to respond in this discussion through a blog post, questioning the Market Research Society's position on the subject, and argued that people posting online actually want to be heard, and are aware of the potential consequences.
In 2012, the company headquarters moved from their previous location to a larger space at Westminster Business Square in Vauxhall.
This is when the company pivoted to becoming a technology company after winning its first R&D grant from the Technology Strategy Board in the UK - now called Innovate UK. DMR focussed on purposeful R&D for the next 7 years having won another 5 grants from Innovate UK and one from the EU.
In May 2020 the company which was already a "remore first" kind of company - nudged by the covid 19 situation - went fully distributed with its new office address at Henry Wood House in Oxford Circus in Central of London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransTelekom | TransTelecom () is a major telecommunications company in Russia that owns one of the largest networks in the world of fiber optical cables. The company is a full subsidiary of Russian national railway operator, Russian Railways. TTK has been actively connected broadband users in the retail market since early 2011. Since then, their number has grown by almost 10 times, and in 2014 the company intends to go abroad to 2 million users. The company's strategy stipulates that by the end of 2015 it will serve 2.3 million broadband subscribers. Community market, which the company aims at are settlements with less than 100,000 people, and they accounted for almost 40% of all connections.
History
TransTelekom was founded February 27, 1997, at the initiative of the Ministry of Railways (the predecessor of Russian Railways for construction of digital backbone network for the needs of Russian Railways, as well as for the purpose of upgrading the information and technology segments in the infrastructure of the Ministry of Railways by constructing a high-bandwidth telecommunications network in the railroad precinct based on SDH, DWDM and IP/MPLS technologies, as well as promoting the networks' profit-making capabilities
For three years the TTK built ROW railways fiber network length of 45 thousand km, connecting 974 settlements in 71 regions of Russia. October 13, 2001 TTK officially started commercial operation of its backbone network.
In April 2002, the TTK went on the market and support services to the organization of virtual private networks (VPN) technology and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) IP transit. Among the first customers was TTK Internet service provider Corbina. In 2003, revenues increased by 2.5 times to $100 million, the number of corporate clients has reached 1 million in October 2003 TTK was awarded RBC Company of the Year in the field of telecommunications.
In 2004, the TTK took 40% of the market rent intercity communication channels, 12% of the market rent of land international channels, 30% market share in the segment of technology IP VPN, allowing users to create multi-enterprise networks, as well as 45% of the regional market of the main access to the Internet.
TransTelekom was granted a license to provide DLD/ILD telecommunications services in July 2005 and completed the development of its network infrastructure for the provision of DLD/ILD services by the end of 2006.
In February 2005, the TTK became the largest party in terms of the European Internet Exchange London Internet Exchange (LINX). In July 2005, the TTK became the fifth operator in Russia, received the right to provide long-distance services (after Rostelecom, Tsentrinfokoma, Golden Telecom and MTT).
In May 2006, TTK upgraded and put into operation a network technology DWDM.
In December 2007, the TTK and the Japanese company NTT Communications completed the construction of undersea fiber-optic cable system HSCS (Hokkaido-Sakhalin Cable System, "Cabling System Ho |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira%20P.%20Rothken | Ira P. Rothken is an American high technology attorney and computer scientist who has handled numerous cases of first impression involving the internet and new technologies.
Education and Early Work
Rothken is a graduate of Brandeis University with a bachelor's degree in science and Golden Gate University School of Law where he was Editor in Chief of the Intellectual Property Law Review.
Rothken, a former medical researcher and computer scientist, began the Northern California-based Rothken Law Firm in 1993 and the firm has evolved from the beginning of the commercial internet in 1995 to emphasize complex high technology related litigation.
Career
Background
According to a July 31, 2007 CNET News.com Article profiling Ira P. Rothken's legal career:
"Tech start-ups sued by media conglomerates for copyright infringement typically call on Rothken, a medical researcher turned lawyer. He's made a name for himself by bucking entertainment empires and by backing long-shot copyright cases, such as those involving RecordTV, ReplayTV and MP3Board.com. His efforts have won him praise from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the advocacy group that has become synonymous with user rights on the Web."
Rothken has been described as a litigator who is both creative and tough.
Internet Gambling Cases
One of Rothken's earliest cases alleged that credit card companies were involved in providing illegal gambling loans to users of internet gambling sites. In this case, Rothken pointed out "We want the court to say Visa and MasterCard can't make money on illegal transactions...." The case resulted in credit card companies settling and providing, amongst other things, a notice to their card holders that their card may not be used to fund online gambling. As a result of the case, Ed Dixon, a spokesman for MasterCard admitted that they introduced new rules related to Internet gambling. Later, Visa affiliates agreed to clear the credit rating of Rothken's client and issue warnings to consumers.
Internet Search Engine Cases
Several of Rothken's cases have involved defending various search engines. Rothken's reason is simple: "We all recognize that the greater good is to allow for robust search...Search is just too important to society. Regardless of the percentage of [illegal] files, even if it's a large percentage of those files that ultimately will lead to downstream content that's unauthorized, search of that content should still be allowed... When you look at the total picture... do we believe that search engines for .torrent files should be banned altogether? Most people would say no."
Cases of First Impression
Many of Rothken's high technology legal actions have included issues of first impression where original issues of law are presented for decision by the court. In these cases, there is no precedent for the legal issue at hand in a specific court. Often Rothken's cases of first impression involve complex technology issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlterGeo | AlterGeo, formerly known as Wi2Geo, is a Russian IT company specializing in the development of a global hybrid positioning system which combines Wi-Fi, WiMAX, GSM, GPS, LTE, IP address and network environment approaches. It also created cross-platform location-based services Gvidi and AlterGeo, and hyperlocal banner ad system Local Hero.
According to the Financial Times, AlterGeo is one of four "Russia's next tech titans". The company was named winner and finalist of multiple domestic and international awards in the field of technology and media, and currently is a Skolkovo Innovation Center resident. It received funding from several prominent investors, including Intel Capital and Esther Dyson.
Technology
AlterGeo was established in 2008 to build a Wi-Fi positioning technology on the basis of the PhD thesis of one of its founders.
As long as the company's goal was to develop a universal solution which could overcome the limitations of satellite systems such as GPS, A-GPS and GLONASS, the team expanded R&D activities, and developed a "global hybrid system for the positioning of electronic devices by WiFi, WiMAX, GSM, LTE, IP addresses and network environment".
AlterGeo claim their system has significant coverage in Europe, especially in Russia and the CIS, Asia, as well as in North and South America, and claim to operate a database of more than 135 million Wi-Fi, WiMAX, GSM and LTE active access points while processing more than 400 million location requests and positioning more than 100 million devices all over the world on a daily basis. Accuracy: 20–30 metres for the hybrid system; 500–1,000 metres for IP-based positioning.
B2B function and partnerships
AlterGeo's hybrid positioning system allows web and mobile software developers as well as device manufacturers to position their users in order to provide them with location-aware features and collect relevant location-based statistics for marketing issues. The company also developed specific solutions for precise location-based advertising (targeting, retargeting, RTB, etc.) and indoor positioning.
The AlterGeo system can be accessed through API and SDK or deployed on the client side as an on-premises solution. It is used by Badoo, Mail.Ru, 2GIS, LiveJournal and other prominent Internet companies. In 2011, one of Russia's largest advertising networks, Begun, was the first in Russia to launch the location-based contextual advertising service, thanks to cooperation with AlterGeo.
Local Hero, hyperlocal ad service
In December 2014, AlterGeo released Local Hero, a self-service hyperlocal banner advertising system for local businesses. It claims to be able to publish customers' banners throughout the Internet (via several RTB ad exchanges) and display them on desktop and mobile devices within small geographic areas (the minimum radius is 500 meters).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croat%20Muslims | Croat Muslims () are Muslims of Croat ethnic origin. They consist primarily of the descendants of the Ottoman-era Croats.
Overview
Croats are a South Slavic people. According to the published data from the 2021 Croatian census, 10,841 Muslims in Croatia declared themselves as ethnic Croats. The Islamic Community of Croatia is officially recognized by the state. After World War II, thousands of Croats (even those with the Islamic faith) who supported the Ustaše fled as political refugees to countries such as Canada, Australia, Germany, South America and Islamic countries. The descendants of those Muslim Croats established their Croatian Islamic Centre in Australia in 36 Studley St. Maidstone, Victoria and the Croatian Mosque in Toronto, which is now named Bosnian Islamic Centre, headed by Mr. Kerim Reis.
History
Ottoman period
The Turkish Ottoman Empire conquered part of Croatia from the 15th to the 19th century and left a deep civilization imprint. Numerous Croats converted to Islam, some after being taken prisoners of war, some through the devşirme system. The westernmost border of Ottoman Empire in Europe became entrenched on Croatian soil. In 1519, Croatia was called the ("bulwark of Christendom") by Pope Leo X.
The fall of Bosnia to the Ottomans in 1463 resulted in increasing pressure on Croatian borders and continual losses of the territory, little by little moving the border line to the west. Permanent warfare during the Hundred Years' Croatian–Ottoman War (1493–1593) drastically reduced Croatian population in affected southeastern regions. Until the end of the 16th century the whole area of Turkish Croatia was occupied by the sultanate. The remaining Croats were converted to Islam and recruited as devşirme (blood tax). A part of the Croatian population managed to flee though, settling down in the northwestern regions of the country or abroad, in the neighbouring Hungary or Austria.
From the 16th to 19th century Turkish Croatia bordered Croatian Military Frontier (, ), a Habsburg Empire-controlled part of Croatia, which was administered directly from Vienna's military headquarters. In the 19th century, following the Habsburg–Ottoman war in 1878 and the fall of the Bosnia Vilayet, Turkish Croatia remained within the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who 1908 became a new Crown land of the Habsburg Monarchy. Although the (recently renamed) old Croatian territory was liberated, there were very few Croatian population left, i.e. population who actually lived in it registered as Catholics and Croats.
The historical names of many officials in the Ottoman Empire reveal their origin (Hirwat = Hrvat or Horvat, which is a Croatian name for Croat): Veli Mahmud Pasha (Mahmut Pasha Hirwat), Rüstem Pasha (Rustem Pasha Hrvat – Opuković), Piyale Pasha (Pijali Pasha Hrvat), Memi Pasha Hrvat, Tahvil Pasha Kulenović Hrvat etc.
There was some considerable confusion over the terms "Croat" and "Serb" in these times, and "Croat" in some of these cases |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal%20gradient%20methods%20for%20learning | Proximal gradient (forward backward splitting) methods for learning is an area of research in optimization and statistical learning theory which studies algorithms for a general class of convex regularization problems where the regularization penalty may not be differentiable. One such example is regularization (also known as Lasso) of the form
Proximal gradient methods offer a general framework for solving regularization problems from statistical learning theory with penalties that are tailored to a specific problem application. Such customized penalties can help to induce certain structure in problem solutions, such as sparsity (in the case of lasso) or group structure (in the case of group lasso).
Relevant background
Proximal gradient methods are applicable in a wide variety of scenarios for solving convex optimization problems of the form
where is convex and differentiable with Lipschitz continuous gradient, is a convex, lower semicontinuous function which is possibly nondifferentiable, and is some set, typically a Hilbert space. The usual criterion of minimizes if and only if in the convex, differentiable setting is now replaced by
where denotes the subdifferential of a real-valued, convex function .
Given a convex function an important operator to consider is its proximal operator defined by
which is well-defined because of the strict convexity of the norm. The proximal operator can be seen as a generalization of a projection.
We see that the proximity operator is important because is a minimizer to the problem if and only if
where is any positive real number.
Moreau decomposition
One important technique related to proximal gradient methods is the Moreau decomposition, which decomposes the identity operator as the sum of two proximity operators. Namely, let be a lower semicontinuous, convex function on a vector space . We define its Fenchel conjugate to be the function
The general form of Moreau's decomposition states that for any and any that
which for implies that . The Moreau decomposition can be seen to be a generalization of the usual orthogonal decomposition of a vector space, analogous with the fact that proximity operators are generalizations of projections.
In certain situations it may be easier to compute the proximity operator for the conjugate instead of the function , and therefore the Moreau decomposition can be applied. This is the case for group lasso.
Lasso regularization
Consider the regularized empirical risk minimization problem with square loss and with the norm as the regularization penalty:
where The regularization problem is sometimes referred to as lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus%20Spectral%20Rocket%20Experiment | The Venus Spectral Rocket Experiment (VeSpR) was a suborbital rocket telescope that collected data on the ultraviolet (UV) light that is being emitted from Venus's atmosphere, which can provide information about the history of water on Venus. Measurements of this type cannot be done using Earth-based telescopes because Earth's atmosphere absorbs most UV light before it reaches the ground.
Objectives
The Venus Spectral Rocket Experiment (VeSpR) collected data on 27 November 2013, on the escape of water from Venus' atmosphere during the flight of the suborbital rocket. The sounding rocket carried the telescope above most of Earth's atmosphere where it could observe ultraviolet light from Venus that would normally be absorbed by Earth's atmosphere. Total flight time was less than 10 minutes, and the telescope can be recovered and reused.
Sounding rocket
VeSpR is a two-stage system, combining a Terrier missile – originally built as a surface-to-air missile and later repurposed to support science missions – and a Black Brant model Mk1 sounding rocket with a telescope inside developed by the Center for Space Physics at Boston University. Integration took place at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
The Terrier stage fires for only 6 seconds after launch before it burns out and separates from the Mk 1, having accelerating from zero to 2100 km/h (1300 mph). The Black Brant coasts upward for 6 seconds, before firing for about 30 seconds, taking the payload to a speed of over 7800 km/h (4800 mph). At that point the rocket is 46 km high, but it already has enough speed to coast upward for almost four more minutes, reaching its peak of 300 km (186 miles) before starting its descent back to Earth. The payload made its final descent with a parachute and touch down about 80 km (50 miles) downrange of the launch site, where it can be recovered.
Science
The upper atmospheres of all three terrestrial planets are slowly evaporating into space, with the highest loss rate for the lightest atom, hydrogen. At Venus, solar UV radiation penetrates into the middle atmosphere, where photodissociation of H2O by solar UV radiation releases H and O, which diffuse into the upper atmosphere and eventually reach the exobase. The H atoms may be lost into space, while relatively fewer O atoms escape, mainly due to non-thermal processes. Understanding the details of escape today is a requirement to be able to extrapolate into the past to learn the history of Venusian water.
The atmosphere of Venus is known to have undergone substantial evolution over geologic time. Evidence for this includes the present remarkable contrast between Venus’ atmosphere and the Earth's: Venus has very little water, a 95% CO2 atmosphere, a surface temperature of 750 K, and a surface pressure of 90 bar. The early Venusian atmosphere is thought to have undergone either a moist or runaway greenhouse heating episode to produce these conditions, and this would have included hydrodynamic escape |

Career
James Desborough wrote The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming in 2000/2001, winning an Origins Award for that work along with his co-authors Steve Mortimer and Phil Masters. Desborough was a co-author of CS1: Cannibal Sector One he also briefly worked as the line editor for SLA Industries. Desborough is also the owner of Postmortem Studios. Postmortem Studios was one of Cubicle 7's first company partnerships due to Desborough's connections with Angus Abranson. He later became creative director at Chronicle City, Abranson's new venture but this partnership ended in July 2021.
In 2017 he released a licensed role-playing game based on John Norman's fantasy series Gor, which also included art by Michael Manning.
Desborough's work was included in Red Phone Box, and in The Mammoth Book of Erotic Romance and Domination. He also self-publishes.
His D&D design work includes Monster Manual V (2007) and City of Stormreach (2008).
Desborough's career has often been characterised by humour and adult content, leading to his role as Games Master for the adult stream 'Tabletopless'. While the stream primarily plays Dungeons and Dragons they have also played Cyberpunk, The Witcher and others.
Desborough is the author of a self-published August 2017 book which claimed that Gamergate was "a genuinely important battle in the ongoing culture war" and portrayed it as a necessary "social revolt" against a new Satanic Panic, rather than as a harassment campaign. In the book's introduction, Desborough writes that his distress regarding opposition and harassment related to Gamergate, as well as a sense of betrayal led him to attempt suicide in October 2014.
Desborough has appeared as a commentator on men's issues on The Stream on Al Jazeera.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional%20principal%20component%20analysis | Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is a statistical method for investigating the dominant modes of variation of functional data. Using this method, a random function is represented in the eigenbasis, which is an orthonormal basis of the Hilbert space L2 that consists of the eigenfunctions of the autocovariance operator. FPCA represents functional data in the most parsimonious way, in the sense that when using a fixed number of basis functions, the eigenfunction basis explains more variation than any other basis expansion. FPCA can be applied for representing random functions, or in functional regression and classification.
Formulation
For a square-integrable stochastic process X(t), t ∈ 𝒯, let
and
where are the eigenvalues and , , ... are the orthonormal eigenfunctions of the linear Hilbert–Schmidt operator
By the Karhunen–Loève theorem, one can express the centered process in the eigenbasis,
where
is the principal component associated with the k-th eigenfunction , with the properties
The centered process is then equivalent to ξ1, ξ2, .... A common assumption is that X can be represented by only the first few eigenfunctions (after subtracting the mean function), i.e.
where
Interpretation of eigenfunctions
The first eigenfunction depicts the dominant mode of variation of X.
where
The k-th eigenfunction is the dominant mode of variation orthogonal to , , ... , ,
where
Estimation
Let Yij = Xi(tij) + εij be the observations made at locations (usually time points) tij, where Xi is the i-th realization of the smooth stochastic process that generates the data, and εij are identically and independently distributed normal random variable with mean 0 and variance σ2, j = 1, 2, ..., mi. To obtain an estimate of the mean function μ(tij), if a dense sample on a regular grid is available, one may take the average at each location tij:
If the observations are sparse, one needs to smooth the data pooled from all observations to obtain the mean estimate, using smoothing methods like local linear smoothing or spline smoothing.
Then the estimate of the covariance function is obtained by averaging (in the dense case) or smoothing (in the sparse case) the raw covariances
Note that the diagonal elements of Gi should be removed because they contain measurement error.
In practice, is discretized to an equal-spaced dense grid, and the estimation of eigenvalues λk and eigenvectors vk is carried out by numerical linear algebra. The eigenfunction estimates can then be obtained by interpolating the eigenvectors
The fitted covariance should be positive definite and symmetric and is then obtained as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somos%2C%20Inc. | Somos, Inc., is a company that manages registry databases for the telecommunications industry. Additionally, since January 1, 2019, the company has been the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, under a contract granted by the Federal Communications Commission.
It was announced at the 2015 Toll-Free User Summit in Orlando, Florida, that the company, formerly known as SMS/800, Inc., would be rebranding under the new name, Somos, Inc.
On April 4, 2016, the Enhanced SMS/800 platform was launched and made available to Resp Orgs in order to provide additional functionality. Somos, Inc., administers the assignment of toll-free telephone numbers in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) This company has been designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to administer the Service Management System (SMS) Database for Responsible Organizations (Resp Orgs) and service control points (SCPs), as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) Part 52 Section 101, and stipulated in 800 Service Management System (SMS/800) Functions Tariff - FCC No. 1.
Somos operates various web interfaces over a virtual private network for Resp Orgs to register toll-free telephone numbers. Somos admits and registers Resp Orgs according to qualification criteria including a required exam. It provides training materials and education in the U.S.
History
Toll-free telephone service is a telecommunication service in which subscribers are assigned telephone number in NPAs 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, and 833. Calls to these numbers incur no toll charges for callers.
The American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) first introduced 800 toll-free service in 1967. When AT&T was the only Interexchange carrier, local exchange carriers automatically routed all toll-free calls directly to an AT&T point of presence without performing a translation from the toll-free number to the terminating telephone number. The LECs routed the calls to AT&T based on the first three digits (800) of the dialed number. AT&T then performed all number translations and service area validation screenings.
In 1981, AT&T introduced its Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS) network and the Network Services System (NSS) database for providing its own centralized facility for toll-Free number translation and service provisioning .
In 1989, an FCC order (as part of Docket 86-10) found that a national database system for toll-free access would offer both advantages and disadvantages as compared with the NXX Plan access solution. The major advantage of the national database system was that it would enable toll-free number portability and thus facilitate competition since a customer could change carriers without changing numbers. Its drawback was that it would increase access time for toll-free calls until Signaling System 7 (SS7) deployment became more extensive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naruto%20Shippuden%3A%20Ultimate%20Ninja%20Storm%20Revolution | Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, known in Japan as , is a fighting video game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco Games as part of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja video game series, based on the manga Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. The game was released in September 2014 in Japan, North America, and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The game features a revamped fighting system. It includes new ways of forming teams based on their skills as well as counterattacks and guard breaks. Masashi Kishimoto worked in the game by providing the new character Mecha-Naruto as well as new designs for the characters belonging to the organization Akatsuki whose back-stories are being told in this game. The game also includes a tournament mode where the player can battle against three CPU fighters at the same time, in an all-out battle royale format. Players are also able to customize characters.
Gameplay
The game introduced guard-break and counterattack and 100 characters and 14 only support characters. In the former, the player breaks the guard of the opponent, knocking him or her unconscious. This gives the player the opportunity to unleash a deadly attack to inflict serious damage. There is a limit, however, on the number of times it can be used. In regards to a counterattack, if an opponent is about to land an attack on the player, the players can knock them unconscious, rendering them helpless and sealing their support. Timing is the key here and a counterattack is a chakra-consuming action. The game also features a revamped support system. There are largely three types of teams. The Drive type locks the battle with a Sealed Barrier that always activates the Support Drive ability. Support Drives call in other team members to chain attacks with the player's main character or block for him depending on the type of support the three man cell provides. Ultimate Jutsu type is a team that can do a heavy damage super attack, which depends on the team the player use. Awakening team types can use an awakening at the start of the battle by using the right analog stick.
The game has 118 playable characters, with new characters being added in addition to returning ones. Series creator Masashi Kishimoto was involved in the game to design an original character: a robot version of Naruto Uzumaki named Mecha-Naruto who has a two-stage awakening: a four-tails transformation and a Mecha-Kurama transformation. Playing a role in the newly introduced four-player Tournament Mode, Mecha-Naruto appears in a two-part episode of the Naruto Shippuden series that aired on the day of the game's release in Japan. In addition to the new character, Kishimoto also designed new costumes for Sasori, Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Orochimaru, as well as the design for a technique used by one of the game's new characters, Shisui Uchiha.
In addition to following the series canon until the latest animated episode, the game features new side stories. These |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dani%20Harper | Dani Harper is an American author of paranormal fantasy and paranormal romance and a member of the Romance Writers of America, the Published Authors Network and the Fantasy, Futuristic, and Paranormal sub-chapter of the Romance Writers of America. She is best known for her Changeling series, the Grim series and the Dark Wolf series.
Background
Harper was born in Canada and spent much of her life in northern Alberta. It was during her time on her Canadian farm that she first developed the idea for "changelings", the basis of her Changeling Series, after watching a pack of wolves run across her property into the forest. In 2004 she moved to Alaska with her American husband. After nearly a decade on the island, the couple moved to eastern Washington to be closer to family. Her first book was published after settling in the United States.

Reception
Reaction to Harper's novels has been very favorable. The Romance Writers of America selected Harper's Changeling Moon (the first book in the Changeling series) as a 2012 RITA Finalist. Publishers Weekly gave very positive reviews to the first two books in the Changeling Series (Changeling Moon, Changeling Dream), but gave a negative review to the third book in the series (Changeling Dawn). However, RT Book Reviews, a significant review source in the romance novel world, dubbed Changeling Dawn "the best one yet" and awarded it 4 ½ stars.
The first book in the Grim series, Storm Warrior, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which described the book as an "excellent novel" and "immensely satisfying with just a hint of spice." It was listed on PW's Top 10 Romance & Erotica for Fall 2013. The second book in the Grim Series,
Storm Bound, in a review by fangswandsandfairydust.com, was described as, "a delicious and elegant read, filled with humor, beauty, friendship, hotness, and a little horror," and Sharon Stogner of the paranormal romance blog, ismellsheep.com, gave the book four out of five stars.
Storm Warned, the third book in the series, proved "excellent" according to bibliophilicbookblog.com, and literaladdiction.com "definitely recommend[s] Storm Warned if you're in the mood for some Fae."
First Bite (the first novel in the Dark Wolf series) received 3 out 5 stars from Paranormal Haven, but was selected as a Night Owl Top Pick by Night Owl Reviews, a Top Bite Award by Bittenbyparanormalromance.com, and as a Top Read by Rabid Reads.
