https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat%20the%20Chefs | Beat the Chefs is an American television cooking game show broadcast by Game Show Network (GSN) and hosted by Matt Rogers. The series features contestants preparing a home-cooked family recipe, while professional chefs Beau MacMillan, Antonia Lofaso and Jeff Henderson make the same recipe in an upscale restaurant version. The two dishes are then judged by a panel of food critics who are Christy Jordan and Brad A Johnson. The series premiered on August 23, 2012, and aired its last episode on November 26, 2012.
Format
The series features two families, one in each half-hour of the episode, preparing their family recipe while the professional chefs cook a restaurant version of the same meal. The family begins by revealing the dish they have selected to cook to the chefs as well as how longer they think it will take to prepare it. The chefs are then given the same amount of time to create their own version. Once the first cook-off is complete, the second family is brought out, and the procedure is repeated with their own meal. After the second cook-off, the judges reveal the winning dish from each round. If the family's home cooked meal beats the chefs' professional version, the family wins $25,000, if the chefs win, the family receives $1,000 worth of kitchen supplies.
Production
Production company RelativityREAL had pitched the series to CBS as early as March 2010; however, it was not until two years later that Beat the Chefs first appeared at an upfront presentation from Game Show Network (GSN) in New York City as an original green-lit series on March 21, 2012. GSN later put out a one-month casting call from May 25, 2012 to June 25, 2012, looking for "great cooks" who had never been "formally trained.” On July 2, 2012, GSN announced the series' premiere date as August 23, 2012, right after the premiere of The American Bible Challenge. GSN then released the cast for the series on July 24, 2012, announcing former American Idol contestant Matt Rogers as the host of the show. The press release also revealed Beau MacMillan, Antonia Lofaso and Jeff Henderson as the professional chefs, as well as Brad A. Johnson and Christy Jordan as judges. In addition, Johnson and Jordan were joined by a guest judge each episode; these judges included Eric Roberts, Julie Powell, Richie Palmer, and Melissa Rycroft. The show was taped at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach, California.
The series premiered on August 23, 2012, immediately following the premiere of The American Bible Challenge. GSN continued to air one new episode a week until November 26, 2012. The show was not seen on GSN after its fourth episode and was canceled in October 2012.
Reception
Beat the Chefs earned mixed reception from critics. Carrie Grosvenor of About Entertainment argued that Rogers was a good fit for the show as host and called the show "enjoyable," but also claimed that there wasn't "enough of a focus on the food and preparation." Meanwhile, Hollywood Junket praised the series, callin |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber%20geography | Cyber geography is mapping the physical network of broadband cables.
Background
While servers, routers, cables, and other physical equipment and infrastructure that enable the Internet can be located, the location of each of these hardware modules does not convey the nature of cyberspace. Cyber geography addresses the degree of complexity of this infrastructure. One of the earliest endeavors that investigated the "spatiality" of cyberspace was the research conducted by Martin Dodge at the University of Manchester between 1997 and 2004. Dodge identified "electronic places" that exist behind the computer screen as part of such geography. "Space" in this case is said to be produced or reproduced through social relations and that it is both geographic and cyber as well as a relational concept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearaway%20Unfolded | Tearaway Unfolded is a 2015 platform-adventure game developed by Media Molecule and Tarsier Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. Announced at Gamescom 2014, the game released worldwide in September 2015 (October in Japan), is an expanded remake of the 2013 PlayStation Vita game Tearaway, which had been originally developed by Media Molecule.
The game takes place in a vibrant storybook-type world made entirely out of paper. The player gains control of either Iota or Atoi, a messenger tasked with delivering a letter to a portal in the sky called 'the You', which has mysteriously been opened. Along the way, the messenger must save the world from Scraps, small villainous creatures which are invading the paper world via the opening to cause disruption.
Tearaway Unfoldeds gameplay revolves around environmental platform interaction, creativity and customizability, confrontations with Scraps and other antagonistic creatures, mini-quests issued by non-playable characters, and finding collectibles. The player, who controls several aspects of the world in a god-like fashion, navigates the messenger through the environments by changing the landscape. For example, in order to help Iota/Atoi advance through a specific section, the player may have to trigger bounce pads, rotate platforms, illuminate objects, cast gusts of wind, or hurl objects, to trigger the solution and allow progression. The player is tasked with designing objects for use in the game's world, which are mostly used to solve people's problems or requests, but may also be used for decorative purposes. The messenger is given several helpful tools over the course of the game, which introduce new gameplay mechanics, and, among other things, allow for alternate methods of traversal.
Upon release, Tearaway Unfolded was met with a positive critical reception. Critics mostly praised the game's controls, visuals, characters, and world design. Some critics disliked the emphasis on optional controllers, while others felt that the original PlayStation Vita version was a more personal experience, and therefore, better overall. However, it was a commercial failure.
Gameplay
Tearaway Unfolded is an expanded remake of the 2013 PlayStation Vita game Tearaway. Like the original, it is a third-person platform game with a heavy emphasis on environmental interaction, the features of the DualShock 4 controller, and quirky creativity. The player navigates the protagonist though environments made almost entirely out of paper, and may complete side-objectives which involve helping non-player characters and the creation of items. The protagonist's main movement options are jumping, grabbing, and rolling.
When moving through areas, the player mostly modifies the landscape so that new paths can be opened. For example, in order to reach an isolated area, the player might have to bring down a platform by casting a gust of wind, climb onto the platform, and then return the platfor |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kliti%20Grice | Kliti Grice , is a chemist and geochemist known for her work in identifying geological and environmental causes for mass extinction events. Her research integrates geological information with data on molecular fossils and their stable carbon, hydrogen and sulfur isotopic compositions to reconstruct details of microbial, fungal and floral inhabitants of modern and ancient aquatic environments and biodiversity hot spots. This information expands our understanding of both the Earth's history and its current physical state, with implications ranging from energy and mineral resource exploration strategies to environmental sustainability encompassing climate dynamics and expected rates, durations and scale of our future planet's health. As one of the youngest women professors in Earth Sciences, she is the founding director of the Western Australian Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Centre (WA-OIGC) and is a Professor of Organic and Isotope Geochemistry at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
Early life and education
Kliti Grice obtained her PhD in 1995 at the University of Bristol (UK). Grice's PhD research measured and interpreted the stable carbon isotopic compositions of maleimides (small, polar, nitrogen-containing molecules) in sedimentary organic matter from the Permian Kupferschiefer (highly anoxic Zechstein Sea, NW Germany). These compounds are unique to the chlorophylls of photosynthetic algae and bacteriochlorophylls of anoxygenic photosynthetic green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobi) – a discovery that has underpinned some of her latter breakthroughs.
From November 1995 to February 1998, Kliti undertook a post-doctoral fellowship (100% research) at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research under the guidance of Jaap Sinninghe Damsté (Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences; and Spinoza Prize winner - The Netherlands' highest science research award).
During her postgraduate research, Kliti was mentored by Professor James R Maxwell (FRS; former co-editor-in-chief of Organic Geochemistry) and the late Prof. Geoffrey Eglinton (FRS; recipient of the Royal medal, Dan David Prize and NASA gold medal). Other important career mentors include: Roger Summons (MIT, USA; formerly Chief Researcher at Geoscience Australia), FRS, FAA, Fellow American Geophysical Union; the late Prof. John de Laeter (legacy includes John de Laeter Centre-JDLC at CU); and Roland de Marco (Deputy VC Research at University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland; formerly Head of Department of Chemistry and Dean of Research at CU).
Career and impact
Grice is renowned for addressing critical palaeobiological questions using innovative analytical approaches. Her investigations into ancient environments and their contemporary analogues have led to improved understanding of Phanerozoic ecosystems, the physiology of plants and algae, and petroleum and mineral geochemistry. Of particular importance was pinpointing sulfide toxicity as an underlying cause |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index%20%28statistics%29 | In statistics and research design, an index is a composite statistic – a measure of changes in a representative group of individual data points, or in other words, a compound measure that aggregates multiple indicators. Indexes – also known as composite indicators – summarize and rank specific observations.
Much data in the field of social sciences and sustainability are represented in various indices such as Gender Gap Index, Human Development Index or the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The ‘Report by the Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress’, written by Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen, and Jean-Paul Fitoussi in 2009 suggests that these measures have experienced a dramatic growth in recent years due to three concurring factors:
improvements in the level of literacy (including statistical)
increased complexity of modern societies and economies, and
widespread availability of information technology.
According to Earl Babbie, items in indexes are usually weighted equally, unless there are some reasons against it (for example, if two items reflect essentially the same aspect of a variable, they could have a weight of 0.5 each).
According to the same author, constructing the items involves four steps. First, items should be selected based on their content validity, unidimensionality, the degree of specificity in which a dimension is to be measured, and their amount of variance. Items should be empirically related to one another, which leads to the second step of examining their multivariate relationships. Third, indexes scores are designed, which involves determining their score ranges and weights for the items. Finally, indexes should be validated, which involves testing whether they can predict indicators related to the measured variable not used in their construction.
A handbook for the construction of composite indicators (CIs) was published jointly by the OECD and by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in 2008. The handbook – officially endorsed by the OECD high level statistical committee, describe ten recursive steps for developing an index:
Step 1: Theoretical framework
Step 2: Data selection
Step 3: Imputation of missing data
Step 4: Multivariate analysis
Step 5: Normalisation
Step 6: Weighting
Step 7: Aggregating indicators
Step 8: Sensitivity analysis
Step 9: Link to other measures
Step 10: Visualisation
As suggested by the list, many modelling choices are needed to construct a composite indicator, which makes their use controversial. The delicate issue of assigning and validating weights is discussed e.g. in. A sociological reading of the nature of composite indicators is offered by Paul-Marie Boulanger, who sees these measures at the intersection of three movements:
the democratisation of expertise, the concept that more knowledge is needed to tackle societal and environmental issues that can be provided by the sole experts – this line of thought connects to the concept of ex |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word%20embedding | In natural language processing (NLP), a word embedding is a representation of a word. The embedding is used in text analysis. Typically, the representation is a real-valued vector that encodes the meaning of the word in such a way that words that are closer in the vector space are expected to be similar in meaning. Word embeddings can be obtained using language modeling and feature learning techniques, where words or phrases from the vocabulary are mapped to vectors of real numbers.
Methods to generate this mapping include neural networks, dimensionality reduction on the word co-occurrence matrix, probabilistic models, explainable knowledge base method, and explicit representation in terms of the context in which words appear.
Word and phrase embeddings, when used as the underlying input representation, have been shown to boost the performance in NLP tasks such as syntactic parsing and sentiment analysis.
Development and history of the approach
In distributional semantics, a quantitative methodological approach to understanding meaning in observed language, word embeddings or semantic feature space models have been used as a knowledge representation for some time. Such models aim to quantify and categorize semantic similarities between linguistic items based on their distributional properties in large samples of language data. The underlying idea that "a word is characterized by the company it keeps" was proposed in a 1957 article by John Rupert Firth, but also has roots in the contemporaneous work on search systems and in cognitive psychology.
The notion of a semantic space with lexical items (words or multi-word terms) represented as vectors or embeddings is based on the computational challenges of capturing distributional characteristics and using them for practical application to measure similarity between words, phrases, or entire documents. The first generation of semantic space models is the vector space model for information retrieval. Such vector space models for words and their distributional data implemented in their simplest form results in a very sparse vector space of high dimensionality (cf. curse of dimensionality). Reducing the number of dimensions using linear algebraic methods such as singular value decomposition then led to the introduction of latent semantic analysis in the late 1980s and the random indexing approach for collecting word cooccurrence contexts. In 2000, Bengio et al. provided in a series of papers titled "Neural probabilistic language models" to reduce the high dimensionality of word representations in contexts by "learning a distributed representation for words".
A study published in NeurIPS (NIPS) 2002 introduced the use of both word and document embeddings applying the method of kernel CCA to bilingual (and multi-lingual) corpora, also providing an early example of self-supervised learning of word embeddings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled%20web%20map | A tiled web map, slippy map (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large image, with arrow buttons to navigate to nearby areas. Google Maps was one of the first major mapping sites to use this technique. The first tiled web maps used raster tiles, before the emergence of vector tiles.
There are several advantages to tiled maps. Each time the user pans, most of the tiles are still relevant, and can be kept displayed, while new tiles are fetched. This greatly improves the user experience, compared to fetching a single map image for the whole viewport. It also allows individual tiles to be pre-computed, a task easy to parallelize. Also, displaying rendered images served from a web server is less computationally demanding than rendering images in the browser, a benefit over technologies such as Web Feature Service (WFS). While many map tiles are in raster format (a bitmap file such as PNG or JPG), the number of suppliers of vector tiles is growing. Vector tiles are rendered by the client browser, which can thus add a custom style to the map. Vector map tiles may also be rotated separately from any text overlay so that the text remains readable.
Defining a tiled web map
Properties of tiled web maps that require convention or standards include the size of tiles, the numbering of zoom levels, the projection to use, the way individual tiles are numbered or otherwise identified, and the method for requesting them.
Most tiled web maps follow certain Google Maps conventions:
Tiles are 256x256 pixels
At the outer most zoom level, 0, the entire world can be rendered in a single map tile.
Each zoom level doubles in both dimensions, so a single tile is replaced by 4 tiles when zooming in. This means that about 22 zoom levels are sufficient for most practical purposes.
The Web Mercator projection is used, with latitude limits of around 85 degrees.
The de facto OpenStreetMap standard, known as Slippy Map Tilenames or XYZ, follows these and adds more:
An X and Y numbering scheme
PNG images for tiles
Images are served through a Web server, with a URL like http://.../Z/X/Y.png, where Z is the zoom level, and X and Y identify the tile.
Tile numbering schemes
There are three main numbering schemes in use:
Google Maps / OpenStreetMap: (0 to 2zoom-1, 0 to 2zoom-1) for the range (−180, +85.0511) - (+180, −85.0511)
Tile Map Service: (0 to 2zoom-1, 2zoom-1 to 0) for the range (−180, +85.0511) - (+180, −85.0511). (That is, the same as the previous with the Y value flipped.)
QuadTrees, used by Microsoft.
Standards
Several standards exist:
Tile Map Service: an early standard supported by OpenLayers. One difference is the y axis is positive northwards in TMS, and southwards in OpenStreetMap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch%20Engine | Sketch Engine is a corpus manager and text analysis software developed by Lexical Computing CZ s.r.o. since 2003. Its purpose is to enable people studying language behaviour (lexicographers, researchers in corpus linguistics, translators or language learners) to search large text collections according to complex and linguistically motivated queries. Sketch Engine gained its name after one of the key features, word sketches: one-page, automatic, corpus-derived summaries of a word's grammatical and collocational behaviour. Currently, it supports and provides corpora in 90+ languages.
History of development
Sketch Engine is a product of Lexical Computing Limited, a company founded in 2003 by the lexicographer and research scientist Adam Kilgarriff. He started a collaboration with Pavel Rychlý, a computer scientist working at the Natural Language Processing Centre, Masaryk University, and the developer of Manatee and Bonito (two major parts of the software suite), and introduced the concept of word sketches.
Since then, Sketch Engine has been commercial software, however, all the core features of Manatee and Bonito that were developed by 2003 (and extended since then) are freely available under the GPL license within the NoSketch Engine suite.
Features
A list of tools available in Sketch Engine:

The models are dynamic computer controlled multi-compartmental systems with adjustable parameters for the physiological conditions of the stomach and intestine. Temperature, peristalsis, bile secretion, secretion of saliva, stomach and pancreas enzymes are all fully adjustable.
The TIM systems are being used to study the behavior of oral products during transit through the stomach, the small intestine and large intestine. Commonly performed studies concern the digestibility of food and food components, the bioaccessibility for absorption of pharmaceutical compounds, proteins, fat, minerals and (water- and fat-soluble) vitamins.
There are different models for the stomach and small intestine (TIM-1 and Tiny-TIM) and a model simulating the physiological conditions of the colon (TIM-2).
The TIM-1 system consists of a stomach compartment and 3 compartments for the small intestine, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The Tiny-TIM system consists of a stomach compartment and one single compartment for the small intestine. Samples can be harvested for analysis from these models from any compartment at any time.
TIM-2 simulates the colon, containing the microbiota as found in human colon. This model serves as a tool to study fermentation of non-digestible food components (fibers and prebiotics) and the release of drugs specifically targeted for the colon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-variable%20logic | In mathematical logic and computer science, two-variable logic is the fragment of first-order logic where formulae can be written using only two different variables. This fragment is usually studied without function symbols.
Decidability
Some important problems about two-variable logic, such as satisfiability and finite satisfiability, are decidable. This result generalizes results about the decidability of fragments of two-variable logic, such as certain description logics; however, some fragments of two-variable logic enjoy a much lower computational complexity for their satisfiability problems.
By contrast, for the three-variable fragment of first-order logic without function symbols, satisfiability is undecidable.
Counting quantifiers
The two-variable fragment of first-order logic with no function symbols is known to be decidable even with the addition of counting quantifiers, and thus of uniqueness quantification. This is a more powerful result, as counting quantifiers for high numerical values are not expressible in that logic.
Counting quantifiers actually improve the expressiveness of finite-variable logics as they allow to say that there is a node with neighbors, namely . Without counting quantifiers variables are needed for the same formula.
Connection to the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm
There is a strong connection between two-variable logic and the Weisfeiler-Leman (or color refinement) algorithm. Given two graphs, then any two nodes have the same stable color in color refinement if and only if they have the same type, that is, they satisfy the same formulas in two-variable logic with counting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al%20Rojo%20Vivo%20%282002%20TV%20program%29 | Al Rojo Vivo (Red Hot) is a Spanish language news program on the American television network Telemundo, which has been broadcast on that network since 2002, replacing the long-running Ocurrió Así. The name derives from the Spanish language expression meaning heated until red hot, the glowing color of an object between about 500 °C and 800 °C. As in English it can be used to indicate intense emotion or a situation ready to be shaped or forged by public opinion.
The show is very similar to its Univision competitor, Primer Impacto, featuring a mix of tabloid and entertainment news, sports, weather, and human interest stories. The show has a tamer and less-aggressive approach compared to its competitor, however, with less coverage of crime stories and more lighter fare.
The show was hosted by María Celeste Arrarás from its inception, just after resigning from Primer Impacto and giving birth to her first baby. She was the main face of the show until August 5, 2020, when she was laid off as part of cost-cutting measures by Telemundo's parent company NBCUniversal. After an interim period in which Arrarás' main fill-ins up to that time, Myrka Dellanos and correspondents Rodner Figueroa, Rebeka Smyth and Jessica Carrillo, anchored the broadcast on rotation, the show switched to dual presentation on October 26, 2020, with Carrillo promoted as co-anchor with newcomer Antonio Texeira, brought over from Telemundo O&O KBLR in Las Vegas. The new presenting team was poorly received upon launch, critics opining that it was too similar to its competitor, and lacked the flair of Arrarás.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage%20security | Storage security is a specialty area of security that is concerned with securing data storage systems and ecosystems and the data that resides on these systems.
Introduction
According to the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), storage security represents the convergence of the storage, networking, and security disciplines, technologies, and methodologies for the purpose of protecting and securing digital assets. Historically, the focus has been on both the vendor aspects of making storage product more secure and the consumer aspects associated with using storage products in secure ways.
The SNIA Dictionary defines storage security as:
Technical controls, which may include integrity, confidentiality and availability controls, that protect storage resources and data from unauthorized users and uses.
ISO/IEC 27040 provides the following more comprehensive definition for storage security:
application of physical, technical and administrative controls to protect storage systems and infrastructure as well as the data stored within them
Note 1 to entry: Storage security is focused on protecting data (and its storage infrastructure) against unauthorized disclosure, modification or destruction while assuring its availability to authorized users.
Note 2 to entry: These controls may be preventive, detective, corrective, deterrent, recovery or compensatory in nature.
Principles of Security Storage
Integrity: Stored data cannot be changed.
Confidentiality: Only authorized users will have access to the data locally or through network.
Availability: Manage and minimize the risk of inaccessibility due to deliberate destructions or accidents such as natural disaster, mechanical and power failures.
Relevant standards and specifications
Applying security to storage systems and ecosystems requires one to have a good working knowledge of an assortment of standards and specifications, including, but not limited to:
ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk management — Vocabulary
ISO 7498-2:1989, Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — Basic Reference Model — Part 2: Security Architecture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persist%20%28Java%20tool%29 | Persist is a Java-based ORM/DAO tool. It provides only the minimal amount of functionalities necessary to map objects or maps from database queries and to statement parameters.
Persist works around a java.sql.Connection object. This means that it does not care about customer query languages (it uses plain SQL with placeholders, as PreparedStatement objects use), connection pool handling, transaction handling (for the most part), and so on. This also means it is very flexible, and can be integrated with any code that depends on JDBC (including code that already use another ORM/DAO tool).
Persist does not require explicit mappings from POJOs to database tables. As long as there is some sort of naming conventions that relate database names with POJO names, Persist will require virtually no mappings. It can, however, be instructed to map Java classes and fields to database tables and columns using annotations.
Persist supports several different mapping strategies:
POJOs mapped to tables
By default, if no annotations specify a given class should not be mapped to a table, Persist will try to find a table that matches that class and create a mapping between fields and columns.
// Inserts a new customer (the class Customer is mapped to the table customer automatically)
persist.insert(customer);
// Reads a customer by its primary key
Customer c = persist.readByPrimaryKey(Customer.class, 42);
// Retrieves customers using a custom query (note the usage of varargs)
List list = persist.readList(Customer.class, "select * from customer where id > ?", 10);
// Fetch all customers and assign the ResultSet to an Iterator
Iterator allCustomersIterator = persist.readIterator(Customer.class, "select * from customer");
POJOs not mapped to tables
If a class is annotated with @NoTable, Persist will not try to map it to a table, and the class will only be able to hold data produced by queries.
@NoTable
class QueryData {
private int count;
private String concatName;
public long getCount() { return count; }
public void setCount(long count) { this.count = count; }
public String getConcatName() { return concatName; }
public void setConcatName(String concatName) { this.concatName = concatName; }
}
QueryData qd1 = persist.read(QueryData.class, "select 1 as count, 'hello' as concat_name from dual");
java.util.Map's
Map's can be used to hold data from queries. Persist will convert values returned from the query to Java types. Keys in the table are the names of the columns returned in lower case.
// Fetch a customer using a custom query and return the result as a map
Map<String,Object> customerMap = persist.readMap("select * from customer where id=?", 10);
// Fetch all customers and result the results as Map instances in a List
List<Map<String,Object>> customerMapList = persist.readMapList("select * from customer");
// Fetch all customers and assign the ResultSet to an Iterator which maps rows to Map instances

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARQ-E | ARQ-E is a radio transmission method used to send data over short wave radio. ARQ-E is a full duplex synchronous data communications system that requests repeats if data is not received correctly. It uses an alphabet that can detect errors. Another name for this is ARQ-1000 duplex or ARQ-1000D.
Alphabet
The alphabet used in the ARQ-E protocol is an extension of the CCITT Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 more commonly known as Baudot. This alphabet has five bits, and therefore has 25 or 32 different possible symbols. The ARQ-M alphabet being synchronous always has to send data and does not have gaps between characters. It does not include start and stop bits that would be used in asynchronous transmissions. In asynchronous transmissions a steady stop signal indicates that there is nothing to send.
The ARQ-E characters are extended with an identification bit or signal element at the start to indicate whether it is a normal character or a function signal. This would add another possible 32 combinations to the code. But of the 32 only three are used.
An extra symbol labelled α shows a start polarity, and another symbol labelled β indicates a steady stop polarity. So a stream of β characters will be sent if there is nothing else to send. The α and β symbols are called idle signals. The third symbol used is the RQ signal used to request a retransmit.
A seventh bit is added to the character to indicate parity. Odd parity is used so that the number of stop polarity elements (1) is always odd. The parity bit is checked by the receiver to tell if an error has occurred in the transmission of the character. The return channel will include the RQ signal if an error is detected.
ltrs is the symbol to activate the letters shift.
figs is the symbol to activate figures shift.
Space is equivalent to the space bar
cr is carriage return
lf is line feed
cells with blank entries are undefined for international communications, but may have meaning within one country.
Marking
After the five bit characters are extended to seven bit, the polarity may be inverted to form a marking pattern, Either every fourth or every eighth character has its 0s and 1s (space and mark elements) transposed. There is also a variation with a cycle length of five characters, to be used when encrypters are in-line.
Transmission
The seven bits resulting are converted from parallel to serial, sending the left-most element first, and then modulated onto a radio carrier using frequency-shift keying. Standard baud rates are 48, 64, 72, 86, 96, 144, and 192 baud.
Repeat request
When an error is detected in a character received, then an RQ symbol is sent, along with a repetition of the last characters in the cycle. When an RQ is received, then an RQ is sent along with repeated characters starting from the one flagged as having a problem. The repeated characters would be three in the four character cycle, and seven in the eight character cycle. For the five character cycle, three |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavenir%20Systems | Mavenir Systems ( NYSE:MVNR ) was a software-based telecommunications networking provider based in Richardson, Texas that existed from 2005 to 2015. The company's software was aimed to deliver internet protocol (IP)-based voice, video, rich communications and enhanced messaging services to clients. Mavenir Systems provided service to approximately 120 mobile networks globally.
Origin
Mavenir Systems was founded in 2005, with Rashad Ali as the founder. Pardeep Kohli served as the company's president and CEO.
History
In December 2008, the company completed a funding round for $17.5 million. Another funding round for $13.5 million backed by Alloy Ventures, Austin Ventures and North Bridge Venture Partners was completed in June 2010. The company raised $40 million in a funding round backed by previous investors and Cross Creek Capital. The funding round brought the company's total funding to $105 million. Mavenir Systems placed first on the Metroplex Technology Business Council's Fast Tech list in 2010 with a 479.6 percent growth. Mavenir Systems placed second on the Fast Tech list the following year. In May 2011, Mavenir Systems acquired Airwide Solutions, a Massachusetts-based mobile messaging and wireless internet infrastructure company.
Mavenir Systems provided VoLTE service to MetroPCS in 2012. The company partnered with Radisys in February 2013 on VoLTE deployments in Europe and the United States. 4G Americas, a wireless industry trade association, elected Mavenir Systems to its Board of Governors in April 2013. The company opened a user experience center in Zagreb, Croatia in April 2013. The center intended to demonstrate and bring new offerings for VoWi-Fi, VoLTE and rich communication services (RCS) to the market.
In November 2013, Mavenir Systems became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. The company priced its shares at $10 and raised approximately $44.5 million in the initial public offering. Mavenir Systems provided T-Hrvatski Telekom, Croatia's largest telecommunications company with its IMS WebRTC gateway in February 2014.

In May, Mavenir Systems released a mobile voice and messaging client software for handsets and tablets. The software was aimed to allow mobile operators to differentiate their Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) and Rich Communication Services (RCS).
The company began developing a VoWiFi mobile app for 3UK on HockeyApp, a service to develop and test mobile apps, in June 2014. The mobile app was intended to provide 3UK subscribers with the ability to make calls and send text messages when out of cellular coverage (VoWiFi). In July 2014, T-Mobile launched its VoLTE service with an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) voice solution developed by Mavenir Systems. T-Mobile was the first major provider to launch VoLTE according to Converge Network Digest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetcars%20in%20Reno | For over two decades in the early twentieth century, there existed a network of streetcars in Reno that served as the main mode of public transit in Reno, Nevada, United States. The system consisted of a streetcar network in the area of Reno and Sparks, Nevada, as well as an interurban line between Reno and the Moana Springs resort.
Reno's streetcar network operated from Thanksgiving Day in 1904 to September 1927.
To the present day, the early twentieth century streetcar network in Reno, Nevada is the only streetcar or light rail system that has ever operated in the state of Nevada.
History
Background
There were only a few settlers in the Reno area after 1850, until the discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode which led to a silver rush in the area and resulted in more settlers in Reno. By January 1863, the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) had begun laying tracks east from Sacramento, California, in order to connect with the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory, Utah, and form the First transcontinental railroad. Once the railroad station was established, the town of Reno officially came into being on May 9, 1868. In 1871, Reno became the county seat of the newly expanded Washoe County, replacing the previous county seat, located at Washoe City.
After the opening of the Transcontinental Railroad, branch railroads began to connect with the first Transcontinental Railroad. For example, the Virginia and Truckee Railroad was extended to Reno in 1872, which provided a boost to the new city's economy. These railroads hauled lumber from Carson City to the mines, and ore from the mines out to the main Transcontinental Railroad. In 1885, the University of Nevada (then called Nevada State University) moved from Elko to Reno.
Reno's streetcar system
By the early 1900s, Reno was large enough that the establishment of an electric streetcar system for public transit in the city was justified. A group of local businessmen organized the Nevada Transit Company, with the aim of building an electric streetcar line. The line, which traveled the route between Reno and the newly founded town of Sparks, Nevada, was constructed in just four months, and opened with a celebration on Thanksgiving Day, 1904.
This initial streetcar line ran from Reno's downtown railway node eastward to Sparks, turning south just before Deer Park, then east to run to the Southern Pacific roundhouse and railroad yards. The portion of the line in Reno proper traveled west along Fourth Street to Sierra Street, then south to Second Street, east to Virginia Street, and south again to the Truckee River. In January 1905, the line's route was extended over the Truckee River on the Virginia Street Bridge. The car barn for the streetcar company stood at 911 E. 4th Street, near Morrill Avenue.
The streetcar service was purchased in 1906 and was renamed the Reno Traction Company. Streetcars were used heavily by commuting workers, shoppers, and pleasure-seekers headed to Wieland’s Park (late |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted%20automaton | In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a weighted automaton or weighted finite-state machine is a generalization of a finite-state machine in which the edges have weights, for example real numbers or integers. Finite-state machines are only capable of answering decision problems; they take as input a string and produce a Boolean output, i.e. either "accept" or "reject". In contrast, weighted automata produce a quantitative output, for example a count of how many answers are possible on a given input string, or a probability of how likely the input string is according to a probability distribution. They are one of the simplest studied models of quantitative automata.
The definition of a weighted automaton is generally given over an arbitrary semiring , an abstract set with an addition operation and a multiplication operation . The automaton consists of a finite set of states, a finite input alphabet of characters and edges which are labeled with both a character in and a weight in . The weight of any path in the automaton is defined to be the product of weights along the path, and the weight of a string is the sum of the weights of all paths which are labeled with that string. The weighted automaton thus defines a function from to .
Weighted automata generalize deterministic finite automata (DFAs) and nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs), which correspond to weighted automata over the Boolean semiring, where addition is logical disjunction and multiplication is logical conjunction. In the DFA case, there is only one accepting path for any input string, so disjunction is not applied. When the weights are real numbers and the outgoing weights for each state add to one, weighted automata can be considered a probabilistic model and are also known as probabilistic automata. These machines define a probability distribution over all strings, and are related to other probabilistic models such as Markov decision processes and Markov chains.
Weighted automata have applications in natural language processing where they are used to assign weights to words and sentences, as well as in image compression. They were first introduced by Marcel-Paul Schützenberger in his 1961 paper On the definition of a family of automata. Since their introduction, many extensions have been proposed, for example nested weighted automata, cost register automata, and weighted finite-state transducers. Researchers have studied weighted automata from the perspective of learning a machine from its input-output behavior (see computational learning theory) and studying decidability questions.
Definition
A commutative semiring (or rig) is a set R equipped with two distinguished elements and addition and multiplication operations and such that is commutative and associative with identity , is commutative and associative with identity , distributes over , and 0 is an absorbing element for .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus | ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (, , , ; ; stylized as ASUSTeK or ASUS) is a Taiwanese multinational computer, phone hardware and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. Its products include desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, mobile phones, networking equipment, monitors, wi-fi routers, projectors, motherboards, graphics cards, optical storage, multimedia products, peripherals, wearables, servers, workstations and tablet PCs. The company is also an original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Asus is the world's 5th-largest PC vendor by unit sales as of January 2023. Asus appears in BusinessWeek "InfoTech 100" and "Asia's Top 10 IT Companies" rankings, and it ranked first in the IT Hardware category of the 2008 Taiwan Top 10 Global Brands survey with a total brand value of billion.
Asus has a primary listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange under the ticker code 2357 and formerly had a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker code ASKD.
Name
The company is usually referred to as ASUS or Huáshuò in Chinese (, literally "Eminence by the Chinese"). According to the company website, the name ASUS originates from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. Only the last four letters of the word were used to give the name a high position in alphabetical listings.
As its marketing taglines, ASUS has used Rock Solid. Heart Touching (2003–2009) and subsequently Inspiring Innovation Persistent Perfection (2009–2013). Since 2013, the company's tagline has been In Search of Incredible.
History
Asus was founded in Taipei in 1989 by T.H. Tung, Ted Hsu, Wayne Hsieh and M.T. Liao, all four having previously worked at Acer as hardware engineers. At this time, Taiwan had yet to establish a leading position in the computer hardware business. Intel Corporation would supply any new processors to more established companies like IBM first, and Taiwanese companies would have to wait for approximately six months after IBM received their engineering prototypes. According to company history, Asus created a motherboard prototype for using an Intel 486, but it had to do so without access to the actual processor. When Asus approached Intel to request a processor to test it, Intel itself had a problem with its own 486 motherboard. Asus solved Intel's problem and it turned out that Asus' motherboard worked correctly without the need for further modification. Since then, Asus was receiving Intel engineering samples ahead of its competitors.
In September 2005, Asus released the first PhysX accelerator card. In December 2005, Asus entered the LCD TV market with the TLW32001 model. In January 2006, Asus announced that it would cooperate with Lamborghini to develop the VX laptop series.
On 9 March 2006, Asus was confirmed as one of the manufacturers of the first Microsoft Origami models, together with Samsung and Founder Technology. On 8 August 2006, Asus announced a joint venture with Gigabyte Technology. On 5 June 2007, Asus announ |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror%20site | Mirror sites or mirrors are replicas of other websites. The concept of mirroring applies to network services accessible through any protocol, such as HTTP or FTP. Such sites have different URLs than the original site, but host identical or near-identical content. Mirror sites are often located in a different geographic region than the original, or upstream site. The purpose of mirrors is to reduce network traffic, improve access speed, ensure availability of the original site for technical or political reasons, or provide a real-time backup of the original site. Mirror sites are particularly important in developing countries, where internet access may be slower or less reliable.
Mirror sites were heavily used on the early internet, when most users accessed through dialup and the Internet backbone had much lower bandwidth than today, making a geographically-localized mirror network a worthwhile benefit. Download archives such as Info-Mac, Tucows and CPAN maintained worldwide networks mirroring their content accessible over HTTP or anonymous FTP. Some of these networks, such as Info-Mac or Tucows are no longer active or have removed their mirrored download sections, but some like CPAN or the Debian package mirrors are still active in 2023. Debian removed FTP access to its mirrors in 2017 because of declining use and the relative stagnation of the FTP protocol, mentioning FTP servers' lack of support for techniques such as caching and load balancing that are available to HTTP. Modern mirrors support HTTPS and IPv6 along with IPv4.
On occasion, some mirrors may choose not to replicate the entire contents of the upstream server because of technical constraints, or selecting only a subset relevant to their purpose, such as software written in a particular programming language, runnable on a single computer platform, or written by one author. These sites are called partial mirrors or secondary mirrors.
Examples
Notable websites with mirrors include Project Gutenberg, KickassTorrents, The Pirate Bay, WikiLeaks, the website of the Environmental Protection Agency, and Wikipedia. Some notable partial mirrors include free and open-source software projects such as GNU, in particular Linux distributions CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu; such projects provide mirrors of the download sites (since those are expected to have high server load). Many open source application providers such as VideoLAN use mirrors to distribute VLC Media Player, and The Document Foundation uses mirrors to distribute LibreOffice.
It was once common for tech companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard or Apple to maintain a network of mirrors accessible over HTTP or anonymous FTP, hosting software updates, sample code and various freely-downloadable utilities. Much of these sites were shut down in the first decades of the 21st century, with Apple shutting down its FTP services in 2012 and Microsoft stopping updates in 2010. Today, the contents of a number of these mirror sites a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALL.Net | ALL.Net (Amusement Linkage Live Network) is an arcade video game network communication system and digital distribution system made by Sega Corporation. It is similar to the Taito NESiCAxLive game distribution systems and NESYS arcade network; the player smart card system is similar to the Konami e-AMUSEMENT system. It enables arcade games to be connected via the Internet, enabling communication battles, national rankings, and storage of play data.
Development
ALL.net was developed by Sega in 2004. It was created as a method of allowing players to save player profiles, player rankings, high scores, create online rankings and have competitive online play. The system was based on the previous VF.net created by Sega for Virtua Fighter 4 in 2001. Initially, the service was only available in Japan, but following a trial in Hong Kong in 2008, the service has been extended to other parts of Asia in 2010. The system has been rolled out to South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, China.
ALL.Net was further developed as ALL.Net P-ras to allow digital distribution of arcade games, as well as for software updates. ALL.Net P-ras allows profit sharing with the arcade operators, with Sega renting games for free, while the operator pays the cost of the hardware, with all revenues from players being split between Sega and the arcade operator.

Best Film is considered the most important of the ARY Film Awards, as it represents all the directing, acting, music composing, writing, editing and other efforts put forth into a drama. This award is one of the two Best Film awards in ceremony which is awarded to relevant film only on the decision of ceremony Jury, while other being awarded on Viewers Voting's.
History
Category Name
The best film category originates with the 1st ARY Film Awards ceremony since 2014. This category has been given to the best film of previous year to the ceremony held by Viewers Voting, but simply called as Best Film, rather than Best Film Jury which is decided by Jury and officially called as Best Film Jury or Best Jury Film. Since ARY Film Awards has been just started, this category has not a brief history. The name of the category officially termed by the channel is:
2014 → present: ARY Film Award for Best Film
Winners and nominees
In the list below, winners are listed first in the colored row, followed by the other nominees. The year shown is the one in which the film first released; normally this is also the year before the ceremony at which the award is given; for example, a film exhibited theatrically during 2005 was eligible for consideration for the 2005 Best Film ARY Awards, awarded in 2006. The number of the ceremony (1st, 2nd, etc.) appears in parentheses after the awards year, linked to the article on that ceremony/ Each individual entry shows the title followed by the production company, and the producer. Till from 2013, the Best Drama Serial award has given to producer rather than to Production company.
As of the first ceremony, total of five films were nominated, and all the five films were nominated in all categories except one. This category is among two Best Film Awards that is given to Best Film's. Best Film Jury winner is eligible to be nominated among Best Film and may won the Both awards.
For the first ceremony, the eligibility period spanned full calendar years. For example, the 1st ARY Film Awards presented on May 35, 2015, to recognized films that were released between January, 2013, and December, 2013, the period of eligibility is the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.
Date and the award ceremony shows that the 2010 is the period from 2010-2020 (10 years-decade), while the year above winners and nominees shows that the film year in which they were releases, and the figure in bracket shows the ceremony number, for example; an award ceremony is held for the films of its previous year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenebrae%20Vision | Tenebrae Vision is the only album of Canadian industrial band Cyberaktif, which consisted of cEvin Key and Dwayne R. Goettel of Skinny Puppy and former Skinny Puppy member Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly. For Cyberaktif, Leeb is credited as Wilhelm Schroeder, the stage name he used while in Skinny Puppy. The album was released in 1991 through Wax Trax! and features Blixa Bargeld of German industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten.
Background
Tenebrae Vision was accompanied by two singles, Nothing Stays and Temper, both of which were released in 1990 and contain different mixes of the title tracks as well as non-album tracks.
The track "Nothing Stays" was voted the sixteenth-greatest industrial song of all time by COMA Music Magazine in their feature article 101 Greatest Industrial Songs of All Time. It appeared also in different versions on various compilation albums.
According to cEvin Key, Cyberaktif is reminiscent of tape trading in the industrial music scene which the band members started off with. "Cyberaktif is [...] the experience of discovering the whole electronic genre", said Key, "[it] is exploring the enthusiasm we once had for that genre." Bill Leeb described their work as "rehashing old things", but said, "it was different this time because we were a bit more established." About the collaboration with Blixa Bargeld, Leeb reported that he and Key were fans of Einstürzende Neubauten and Bargeld happened to be in Vancouver just at the right time. With Bargeld being "an icon to us" and having "major attitude back then", Leeb remembered the collaboration being both "stressful" and "fun".
Tenebrae Vision features samples from the films The Unholy, Videodrome, Dune, and Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infogix%2C%20Inc. | Infogix, Inc. is a multinational data controls and analytics software company for businesses to manage, analyze and monitor their data for business operations. The company is based in the United States with headquarters in Naperville, Illinois and primarily serves clients in the healthcare, financial services, property and casualty insurance, telecommunications and retail industries.
The enterprise was founded by Madhavan K. Nayar in 1982 as Unitech Systems, Inc. The company began to work on automated data controls software. In 2005, Unitech Systems was renamed Infogix after growing to represent many companies in the Fortune 100 and Global 2000 economy including Wells Fargo, Target, Progressive Insurance and Verizon Wireless.
Infogix has undergone multiple organizational changes since its inception. On June 1, 2012, Infogix announced H.I.G. Capital, a global private equity firm, had recapitalized the business. On January 10, 2014, both Infogix and H.I.G. publicly announced a completed acquisition of Agilis International, Inc., a provider of predictive customer and operational analytics.
In 2016, H.I.G. Capital sold Infogix to Thoma Bravo.
In 2018, Infogix has acquired DATUM.
History
Infogix was founded in 1982 as Unitech Systems, Inc. with a focus on creating continuous, automated controls software for the mainframe to assist with large amounts of balance and reconciliation. In the early 2000s, Unitech Systems began extending its offerings and launching distributed products, and the company changed its name to Infogix, Inc. in 2005.
The name Infogix was chosen based on the concept of the focal point where information, logic and exchange meet.
With the new name came a new company logo. The gold checkmark in the current logo represents the company reaching to achieve the gold standard, and the equal symbol is a reference to the reconciliation technology that started the company in 1982.
Infogix introduced its Business Operations Management solution in 2012 based on feedback from some of its largest customers. The company had successfully worked with IT and finance departments for 30 years, but organizations were sharing stories of successfully using Infogix products in other areas of the business, as well. Use of the software solution across the enterprise led the company to introduce its Business Operations Management solution.
Infogix’ current offerings include their Controls Suite (Infogix Assure, ACR/Summary, ACR/Detail, Infogix ER); Visibility Suite (Infogix Insight, Infogix Nexix and Nexix Mobile, Infogix Perceive); and Analytics Suite (RevMind, NetMind, DataMind).
On June 1, 2012, Infogix announced that H.I.G. Capital had recapitalized the business.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bringing%20Sexy%20Back | Bringing Sexy Back was an Australian weight loss reality television show that aired on the Seven Network on Tuesday nights at 7:30pm.
Show details
Hosted by Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage, each week the show features a transformation involving one everyday Australian hoping to get his or her lifestyle back by improving his or her self-image.
The show premiered on Tuesday, 12 August 2014 at 7:30pm, but could only manage a national audience of 654,000, placing it third in its timeslot. Following the death of Robin Williams' earlier that day, Network Ten hastily scheduled the film Mrs. Doubtfire in the same timeslot.
On Wednesday, 17 September, the Seven Network removed the show from its schedule due to its continuing low ratings to make way for a new season of Dancing with the Stars. With only two episodes remaining, they were eventually aired on 6 and 13 January 2015.
The program was syndicated to Foxtel channel Style Network in May 2016.

It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited outstanding directing while working in the film industry. The 1st ARY Film Awards were held in 2014 and Bilal Lashari was given this award for his direction for Waar. Currently, nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the directors branch of ARY Digital Network while winners are selected by a public voting.
In order to maintain the balance and authenticity, Best Director - Jury is also presented at ceremony, where winners are only revealed during the ceremony based on Jury votings. The ARY Film Award for Best Directing and Best Film have been very closely linked throughout their history. At first year ceremony both awards were presented to Waar. As of 2016 Ceremony, Nadeem Beyg is the most recent winner in this category for his work in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani.
History
The best film director category originates with the 1st ARY Film Awards ceremony since 2014. The Best Film Director of Best Director is awarded by viewers voting and known as Best Director Viewers Choice but officially it is termed as Best Director. Since ARY Film Awards has been just started, this category has not a brief history. The name of the category officially termed by the channel is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delete%20key | The delete key is a button on most computer keyboards which is typically used to delete either (in text mode) the character ahead of or beneath the cursor, or (in GUI mode) the currently-selected object. The key is sometimes referred to as the "forward delete" key. This is because the backspace key also deletes characters, but to the left of the cursor. On many keyboards, such as most Apple keyboards, the key with the backspace function is also labelled "delete".
Position and labeling on keyboards
The key appears on English-language IBM-compatible PC keyboards labeled as or , sometimes accompanied by a crossed-out right-arrow symbol. A dedicated symbol for "delete" exists as U+2326 ⌦ but its use as a keyboard label is not universal. However, sometimes the key labelled performs the Backspace function instead, for example on some Apple keyboards.
In other cases, the Delete key is in its original IBM notebook position of above and to the right of the Backspace key. Many laptops add rows of smaller keys above the Function key line to add keys on a non-standard size keyboard. On this row of smaller keys, the position of the Delete key is positioned at or near the right-hand end. On a MacBook, the forward delete function can be achieved using the key combination or simply .
The Delete key is typically smaller and less-conveniently located than the Backspace key, and on keyboards where space is limited, for example those omitting the numeric keypad or virtual keyboards on mobile devices, it is often omitted altogether.
On some compact keyboards (for example, the 60-key Happy Hacking Keyboard), the Delete key replaces the conventional Backspace key, and the Backspace function is achieved by holding the Fn key and pressing Delete.
Uses
When struck on a computer keyboard during text or command editing, the delete key ( or ), known less ambiguously as forward delete, discards the character ahead of the cursor's position, moving all following characters one position "back" towards the freed letterspace. The key is also used by many GUI applications to request deletion of the currently-selected object, for example a file in a file browser or a block of text in a word processor.
The delete key often works as a generic command to remove a selected object, such as an image embedded in a document. On Apple Keyboards, both the forward delete key and the delete (backspace) key have the same effect when pressed while an object is selected.
On Unix-like systems, the delete key is usually mapped to ESC which is the VT220 escape code for the "delete character" key.
The delete key, on many modern motherboards, also functions to open the BIOS setup screen when pressed after starting the computer.
In GUI applications where the Delete key is enabled, especially in file browsers, pressing it does not necessarily immediately delete the selected object, but often a confirmation dialog box will appear to allow the user to cancel the deletion, or the object may |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20dentistry | Digital dentistry refers to the use of dental technologies or devices that incorporates digital or computer-controlled components to carry out dental procedures rather than using mechanical or electrical tools. The use of digital dentistry can make carrying out dental procedures more efficient than using mechanical tools, both for restorative as diagnostic purposes. Used as a way to facilitate dental treatments and propose new ways to meet rising patient demands.
The 'father' of digital dentistry is the French professor François Duret, who invented dental CAD/CAM in 1971.
Digital dentistry technologies
Some of the technologies used in digital dentistry include:
Intraoral cameras
Intraoral Scanners (IOS)
CAD/CAM
Computer-aided implant dentistry — including design and fabrication of surgical guides
Computer-aided crown manufacturing
3D Printing (e.g. to print physical models of digital images taken with intra-oral scans, make appliances, temporaries, surgical guides)
Digital radiography
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)
Magnetic resonance imaging
CT scans
Electric and surgical/implant handpieces
Computer-aided implant dentistry
Photography (extraoral and intraoral)
Practice and patient record management software — including digital patient education e.g. Thalamus Patient Education
Shade matching
Diagnodent
DEXIS CariVu
Dental lasers
The Wand — used to carry anesthesia
Digital X-rays (includes both direct sensors and indirect phosphor plate systems)
Dental loupes
Virtual and augmented reality
Intra-oral cameras
X-rays have been extremely valuable for many years in assessments of oral health. However, at times the image produced can show limited information because it is only a 2D image. Intra-oral cameras (IOCs) allow an operator to see a clear image of the inside of the mouth. Similar to the size of a dental mirror IOCs have a tiny camera that is able to detect more on the 3D surface of a tooth than a 2D x-ray image is able to show. Examples include specific locations and sizes of cavities, cracked teeth, excessive erosion, abrasion and many more.
Conventional dental impressions are made by placing an impression material loaded on an impression tray over the dental arches. As it sets a negative imprint of the soft and hard tissues in the mouth. Digital intra-oral impressions made using intra-oral cameras are able to recreate the positive impression of a patient's dentition and other structures into a digital format on a computer almost instantly.
Enhancements
Colour matching
Traditionally dentists will use a physical shade guide in the dental surgery as they compare the patient's teeth to the shades in the guide, all done while the patient is in the chair. Newer computer matching techniques allow for a more superior than matching methods currently used. There is always differences in perception when it comes to the human eye and observation. This was proved in a study which found that there was a high statistical correlation between a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%20surveillance%20in%20Australia | Mass surveillance in Australia takes place in several network media, including telephone, internet, and other communications networks, financial systems, vehicle and transit networks, international travel, utilities, and government schemes and services including those asking citizens to report on themselves or other citizens.
Communications
Telephone
Australia requires that pre-paid mobile telecommunications providers verify the identity of individuals before providing service.
Internet
Google's transparency report shows a consistent trend of growth in requests by Australian authorities for private information, constantly rising approximately 20% year-on-year. The most recent published volume for the period ending December 2013 indicates a volume of around four individual requests per calendar day.
Telstra's transparency report for the period 1 July - 31 December 2013 does not include requests by national security agencies, only police and other agencies. Nevertheless, in the six-month period 40,644 requests were made, 36,053 for "Telstra customer information, carriage service records and pre-warrant checks" (name, address, date of birth, service number, call/SMS/internet records. Call records include called party, date, time and duration. Internet information includes date, time and duration of internet sessions and email logs from Telstra-administered addresses), 2,871 for "Life threatening situations and Triple Zero emergency calls", 270 for "Court orders", 1450 for "Warrants for interception or access to stored communications" (real time access): an average of around 222 requests per calendar day.
In 2013 more than 500 authors including five Nobel prize winners and Australian identities Frank Moorhouse, John Coetzee, Helen Garner, Geraldine Brooks and David Malouf signed a global petition to protest mass surveillance after the whistleblower Edward Snowden's global surveillance disclosures informed the world, including Australians, that they are being monitored by the National Security Agency's XKeyscore system and its boundless informant. Snowden had further revealed that Australian government intelligence agencies, specifically the Australian Signals Directorate, also have access to the system as part of the international Five Eyes surveillance alliance.
In August 2014 it was reported that law-enforcement agencies had been accessing Australians' web browsing histories via internet providers such as Telstra without a warrant (Optus confirmed that they cooperate with law enforcement, and Vodafone did not return a request for comment). The revelations came less than a week after government attempts to increase their surveillance powers through new legislation allowing offensive computer hacking by government intelligence agencies, and mere months after outrage surrounding the government's offer to share personal information about citizens with Five Eyes intelligence partners.
As of August 2014, no warrant is required for organisations t |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttalam%20line | The Puttalam line (originally called the North-Western Line) is a broad gauge railway line in the rail network of Sri Lanka. The railway line begins at Ragama junction and runs through the major towns along the north-west coast of the country, through to Periyanagavillu. It has forty two stations along its length.
Route definition
The line starts from Ragama and runs through the towns of Kandana, Ja-Ela, Seeduwa, Katunayake, Negombo City, Lunuwila, Naththandiya, Madampe, Chilaw, Bangadeniya, Mundel and ends at Puttalam.
The passenger trains by Sri Lanka Railways are operated up to Noor Nagar station beyond the Puttalam station and railway section beyond Noor Nagar station is used by Holcim Sri Lanka Limited for the transportation of raw materials from quarry to the factory at Puttalam.
This line is also used for the transportation of oil by trains to the Colombo International Airport.
History
Construction of the rail line to Puttalam commenced on 3 July 1907, with the laying of a railway line from Ragama to Ja-Ela. The project was initiated by Sir Henry Arthur Blake, Governor of Ceylon. The first passenger operations commenced on 9 November 1908. The Negombo railway station was opened on 1 December 1909, with the line extended to Chilaw in 1916. In November 1920 work commenced on the extension to Puttalam, which was officially opened on 12 May 1926.
In 1943 the track from Bangadeniya to Puttalam was removed, as the rails were required on other strategically important routes due to shortages caused by World War II. It was re-laid in 1946 with a number of new stations added to the line. The line was also extended beyond Puttalam to Periyanagavillu, where the route forked, with one line running to Aruwakkalu and the other to Illuwankulam.
In 2011 a dual track between Ragama and Ja-Ela was officially opened. In 2017 the government commenced investigating the feasibility of extending the rail line from Puttalam via Norocholai power station (servicing the country's main coal power plant) to Mahawa, connecting the Northern and Puttalam lines.
Operations
This line is served by passenger and freight trains mostly class s9, s8 , s11 and s10 are used for daytime passenger trains whilst office trains are hauled by class s11, s13 , m4 and s9 . The main terminals of the trains are Negombo, Madampe, Chilaw, Puttalam and Noornagar. An uncontrollable crowd is seen during the peak hours ( Mainly from Colombo To Negombo )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud-based%20design%20and%20manufacturing | Cloud-based design and manufacturing (CBDM) refers to a service-oriented networked product development model in which service consumers are able to configure products or services and reconfigure manufacturing systems through Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Adapted from the original cloud computing paradigm and introduced into the realm of computer-aided product development, Cloud-Based Design and Manufacturing is gaining significant momentum and attention from both academia and industry.
Cloud-based design and manufacturing includes two aspects: cloud-based design and cloud-based manufacturing. Another related concept is cloud manufacturing that is more general and popular.
Cloud-Based Design (CBD) refers to a networked design model that leverages cloud computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA), Web 2.0 (e.g., social network sites), and semantic web technologies to support cloud-based engineering design services in distributed and collaborative environments.
Cloud-Based Manufacturing (CBM) refers to a networked manufacturing model that exploits on-demand access to a shared collection of diversified and distributed manufacturing resources to form temporary, reconfigurable production lines which enhance efficiency, reduce product lifecycle costs, and allow for optimal resource allocation in response to variable-demand customer generated tasking.
The enabling technologies for Cloud-Based Design and Manufacturing include cloud computing, Web 2.0, Internet of Things (IoT), and service-oriented architecture (SOA).
History
The term cloud-based design and manufacturing (CBDM) was initially coined by Dazhong Wu, David Rosen, and Dirk Schaefer at Georgia Tech in 2012 for the purpose of articulating a new paradigm for digital manufacturing and design innovation in distributed and collaborative settings. The main objective of CBDM is to further reduce time and cost associated with
maintaining information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructures for design and
manufacturing, enhancing digital manufacturing and design innovation in distributed and collaborative environments, and adapting to rapidly changing
market demands.
In 2014, the same research group also published the worldwide first two books on the subjects of Cloud-Based Design and Manufacturing (CBDM) and Social Product Development (SPD) with Springer, edited by Dirk Schaefer.
Characteristics
CBDM exhibits the following key characteristics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process%20network%20synthesis | Process network synthesis (PNS) is a method to represent a process structure in a 'directed bipartite graph'. Process network synthesis uses the P-graph method to create a process structure. The scientific aim of this method is to find optimum structures.
Process network synthesis uses a bipartite graph method P-graph and employs combinatorial rules to find all feasible network solutions (maximum structure) and links raw materials to desired products related to the given problem. With a branch and bound optimisation routine and by defining the target value an optimum structure can be generated that optimises a chosen target function.
Process Network Synthesis was originally developed to solve chemical process engineering processes. Target value as well as the structure can be changed depending on the field of application. Thus many more fields of application followed.
Applications
At Pannon University software the tools PNS Editor and PNS Studio were programmed to generate maximum structure of processes. This software includes the p-graph method and MSG, SSG and ABB branch and bound algorithms to detect optimum structures within the maximum available process flows.
PNS is used in different applications where it can be used to find optimum process structures like:
Process engineering: Chemical process designs and the Synthesis of chemical processes is applied in different case studies.
Optimum energy technology networks for regional and urban energy systems: In case of regional and urban energy planning the financially most feasible solution for resource systems is selected as target value. With this setting material- and energy flows, energy demand and cost of technologies are considered and the optimum technology network can be found. Simultaneously the robustness of technologies due to price changes and limitations in resource availability can be identified.
Evacuation routes in buildings: The aim is to find optimal routes to evacuate buildings depending on specific side parameters.
Transportation routes: In this research area transportation routes with minimum cost and lowest environmental impact can be identified.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/GYK-12 | The AN/GYK-12 is an obsolete 32-bit minicomputer developed by Litton Industries for the United States Army. The AN/GYK-12 is a militarized version of the L-3050 computer ruggedized for use in the TACFIRE tactical fire direction system. The design dates from the 1960s.
In 1980, the Army introduced the Nebula instruction set architecture (MIL-STD-1862), intended as an upgrade to the AN/GYK-12. Nebula is also a 32-bit architecture with 32-bit addressing mode and instructions optimized for running programs written in Ada.
Description
The basic system consists of three rack-mounted modules: The CPU, the IOU (Input/Output unit), and the MCMU. Modules are mounted vertically and are wide by high.
The AN/GYK-12 has a 32-bit instruction format and operates on data from one bit to a doubleword (64 bits) in size. Only fixed-point binary arithmetic is provided.
The system can have a maximum of 32768 pages—64 million words—of 2 μs memory (256 MB). Physically memory is divided into banks of 8 KW to minimize memory contention. Logically it is divided into pages of 2 KW each. Access to pages is controlled by 16 Page Control and Address Registers per program level, allowing an individual program to directly address 128 KB at one time.
The AN-GYK-12 CPU features 64 hardware priority program levels, numbered from 0 (highest) to 63 (lowest). One task can run at each level. Level 0 is reserved for "power off". Level 1 is power-on restart. Level 2 handles hardware and program errors. Level 63 is entered after completion of a boot load. Therefore the system can support a maximum of 60 user tasks. Tasks are scheduled preemptively—a task will run until an error occurs, until it gives up control to another task, or until successful completion of an input/output operation transfers control to the so-called normal program level.
Each task also has a privilege level, which controls the operations it is allowed to perform. Level '00'b is used for non-privileged programs. Level '01'b programs are semi-privileged. Level '10'b programs are privileged and can execute all instructions and I/O operations. Level '11'b is unused.
The system uses Sylvania Universal High Level II Integrated Circuits (SUHL II), manufactured by Collins Radio, Honeywell, Raytheon and Motorola Semi-Conductor Division.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame%20Chocolate | Dame Chocolate (International Title:Sweet Secret) is an American Spanish-language telenovela, which was produced by the United States-based television network Telemundo and aired from March 5 until October 5, 2007. This limited-run serial stars Génesis Rodríguez as a sweet, simple girl who leaves rural Mexico for Miami in the US to fulfill her destiny in the chocolate business. Elements of this romantic soap opera resemble Ugly Betty, the Tammy films, The Beverly Hillbillies and No Holds Barred.
Lionsgate Home Entertainment and Xenon Pictures released a four-disc DVD set of Dame Chocolate in the US on November 27, 2007. The abridged version runs over 13 hours. It includes English subtitles and carries a TV-PG rating.
Plot
An awkward, shy girl named Rosita Amado (Génesis Rodríguez) grew up in the village of Xochilcacahuatel with humble, uncultured relatives who worship Ek Chuah, an ancient idol. When her grandfather Juan Amado (Héctor Suárez), known as "The Chocolate King", dies, she is the only person left who knows the secret Mayan recipe that built his corporate empire.
While Rosita has a curvaceous body, she also has a big nose and buck teeth. She falls madly in love with charming chocolatier Bruce Remington (Carlos Ponce), the handsome heir to a candy factory, Chocolate Supremo. Their lives will interlace when Juan chooses her to take his place and teaches her the secret recipe. Rosita heads to Florida to fulfill her grandfather's last wish, bringing her deaf great-aunt Dulce (María Antonieta de las Nieves), her uncle, Diosdado (Ricardo Chavez), and the rest of her extended family with her. (Telemundo publicity referred to them as an "assortment" of "uncouth relatives.")
Meanwhile, Bruce's mother Grace Remington (Kristina Lilley), an unscrupulous and overly ambitious woman (and Juan's stepdaughter) is claiming that the factory is near bankruptcy and ruthlessly plots against Rosita, becoming the young girl's most dedicated enemy. Grace wants the inheritance and the secret recipe and enlists the help of her son's lover Samantha Porter (Karla Monroig) to talk Bruce into seducing Rosita. When Bruce realizes that he truly loves Rosita, his mother has already plotted her downfall. Rosita must confront the Remington and fight for her grandfather's legacy. Meanwhile, Ángel Pérez (Khotan), a brutal, dangerous man from the past, threatens Rosita's fresh start.
Rosita finds romance, deception and betrayal as she searches for true happiness in a new world. She learns about the dangers of hatred, jealousy and vengeance. The heroine finds herself caught between two powerful forces: love and chocolate.
To continue the story, Bruce was going to marry Rosita, so of course his mother and Samantha tried to stop it by lying to Rosita and saying that Bruce was actually going to marry Samantha instead of Rosita. Rosita was heartbroken and she left the state with Ángel, swearing revenge on the Remingtons and Samantha Porter. Somewhere in Texas, she escaped |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion%20list | In computer science, an inversion list is a data structure that describes a set of non-overlapping numeric ranges, stored in increasing order.
The set is stored in an array. Every other element is the first element of a range, and every other element is the first element after that range (a half-open range).
For example, for ranges 10–14, 25–37, the inversion list would be:
10 15 25 38
To search whether an item belongs to any of the ranges, a binary search is made. If the search ends in a "first" element, the searched item is in the set. If the search ends in an "after" element, or outside the array, the searched item is not in the set.
This data structure is used in many Unicode implementations for storing Unicode character ranges (like "Greek characters").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New%20York%20Produce%20Exchange | The New York Produce Exchange was a commodities exchange headquartered in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It served a network of produce and commodities dealers across the United States. Founded in 1861 as the New York Commercial Association, it was originally headquartered at Whitehall Street in a building owned by the New York Produce Exchange Company. The Association was renamed the New York Produce Exchange in 1868 and took over the original building in 1872.
Between 1881 and 1884, the Produce Exchange built a new headquarters on 2 Broadway, facing Bowling Green in Lower Manhattan. The structure, designed by George B. Post, was the first in the world to combine wrought iron and masonry in its structural construction. The main feature of the structure was an exchange floor that measured approximately . The Produce Exchange was profitable following the building's completion. By the 1880s, it had the largest membership of any exchange in the United States, with a maximum of three thousand members. By 1900, the exchange was doing $15 million a day in business.
In the early 20th century, activity on the Produce Exchange started to decline due to competition from other cities. The Produce Exchange sold off its building for development in the 1950s; the headquarters was demolished to make way for a skyscraper called 2 Broadway. The exchange had its trading floor in the skyscraper from 1959 until 1973, when it was restructured as the Produce Exchange Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust.
Origins
The New York Produce Exchange's origins date to the New York Corn Exchange, which had been chartered in 1853. At the time, New York City's flour and grain trades were largely outdoors, centered at the intersection of Broad Street and South Street. The Corn Exchange combined four buildings on Broad and South Streets to make an "L"-shaped gathering room. The temporary headquarters had become inadequate for the exchange's needs by the late 1850s, with at least one thousand merchants crowded into the dingy quarters. Furthermore, a neighboring property could not be acquired for expansion. Accordingly, during the early 1860s, members of the Corn Exchange formed two companies: one to build a new headquarters and another to operate the commodities exchange within that building.
First headquarters
The New York Produce Exchange Company was founded in 1860 to construct a building on the block bounded by Whitehall, Moore, Pearl, and Water Streets. The company had tried to add stories to the existing structures on the block but were unable to do so because of weak foundations. The first building, later known as the Old New York Produce Exchange, was designed by Leopold Eidlitz as the result of an architectural design competition. The structure was completed in 1861 for $95,350. The first headquarters was sold in 1886 to the United States government, which remodeled it as the Army Building on 39 Whitehall Street.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K15CU-D | K15CU-D (channel 15) is a low-power television station licensed to Salinas, California, United States, broadcasting the digital multicast network Cozi TV to the Monterey Bay area. Owned and operated by the NBC Owned Television Stations group, it relays the second digital subchannel of KNTV from San Jose. K15CU-D's transmitter is located on Fremont Peak in the Gabilan Mountains above San Juan Bautista, California, over above sea level.
History
The station was put on air on February 16, 1990 (by Telemundo, then under separate ownership), as a translator of KSTS in San Francisco. The translator briefly had a local operation in Salinas, including a news bureau, which was closed in a cost-cutting move in 1992.
On February 8, 2010, the station went dark for technical reasons. The station returned to the air on March 11, 2010. On March 10, 2011, the license was canceled by mistake of the FCC. On April 8, NBC filed an Engineering STA and a Petition for Reconsideration to restore the station. The STA was granted on April 18, 2011. On May 8, the Petition for Reconsideration was granted and the license was reinstated.
On December 3, 2013, the FCC approved a request by NBCUniversal to convert the analog low-power station to digital, as a translator of KMUV-LP, the local Telemundo affiliate owned by the News-Press & Gazette Company.
In 2014, the station became a primary affiliate of Cozi TV, listed in FCC records as a translator of NBC owned-and-operated KNTV, which airs Cozi TV on a subchannel.
In October 2019, K15CU-D added TeleXitos as a second digital subchannel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis%202%20%28MSX%29 | is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game released for the MSX computer in 1987 by Konami. The game is a sequel to Nemesis, the MSX version of Gradius, but is unrelated to the arcade game Gradius II (which used the Roman numeral 'II'). This version was ported to the X68000 computer under the name , with some graphical and aural enhancements.
In a departure from other games, instead of controlling Vic Viper, the available ship is called Metalion. Unlike other titles, this game has a heavier focus on story, which is told by cut-scenes. The gameplay is mostly unchanged from the rest of the series, though there are some powerups that temporally gives the ship some enhancements. Also, when the bosses are being defeated, if the Metalion flies where they are, a mini-level can be accessed in order to obtain new permanent upgrades, if the mini levels are successfully cleared.
Plot
The Director General of Space Science Agency Dr. Venom was exiled to Planet Sard for a failed coup d'état. In the year 6665, he escapes and invades Planet Nemesis and the seven planets it controls with the help of Bacterion. The Nemesis High Council sends James Burton, ex-pilot of the Vic Viper, to pilot Metalion and attack Dr. Venom and the Bacterion invaders. The game takes place during the year 6666.
Nemesis '90 Kai
This X68000 port is essentially an enhanced remake of Nemesis 2 with graphical quality on par with Gradius III.
It includes two new stages exclusive to this version of the game, and four new bosses (two of which replace the rematches fought in the MSX version.)
Some people still prefer the original for its charm and color scheme.
Ports
Aside from being remade as Nemesis '90 Kai, Nemesis 2 was also ported to mobile phones in 2006 and Sony PSP in 2007 as part of the Salamander Portable collection.
Gradius 2 was re-released for Wii's Virtual Console in 2009, for Project EGG in 2015, and for Wii U Virtual Console in 2016 in Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier%20resilience | Barrier resilience is an algorithmic optimization problem in computational geometry motivated by the design of wireless sensor networks, in which one seeks a path through a collection of barriers (often modeled as unit disks) that passes through as few barriers as possible.
Definitions
The barrier resilience problem was introduced by (using different terminology) to model the ability of wireless sensor networks to detect intruders robustly when some sensors may become faulty.
In this problem, the region under surveillance from each sensor is modeled as a unit disk in the Euclidean plane. An intruder can reach a target region of the plane without detection, if there exists a path in the plane connecting a given start region to the target region without crossing any of the sensor disks. The barrier resilience of a sensor network is defined to be the minimum, over all paths from the start region to the target region, of the number of sensor disks intersected by the path. The barrier resilience problem is the problem of computing this number by finding an optimal path through the barriers.
A simplification of the problem, which encapsulates most of its essential features, makes the target region be the origin of the plane, and the start region be the set of points outside the convex hull of the sensor disks. In this version of the problem, the goal is to connect the origin to points arbitrarily far from the origin by a path through as few sensor disks as possible.
Another variation of the problem counts the number of times a path crosses the boundary of a sensor disk. If a path crosses the same disk multiple times, each crossing counts towards the total. The barrier thickness of a sensor network is the minimum number of crossings of a path from the start region to the target region.
Computational complexity
Barrier thickness may be computed in polynomial time by constructing the arrangement of the barriers (the subdivision of the plane formed by overlaying all barrier boundaries) and computing a shortest path in the dual graph of this subdivision.
The complexity of barrier resilience for unit disk barriers is an open problem. It may be solved by a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm whose time is cubic in the total number of barriers and exponential in the square of the resilience, but it is not known whether it has a fully polynomial time solution.
The corresponding problem for barriers of some other shapes, including unit-length line segments or axis-aligned rectangles of aspect ratio close to 1, is known to be NP-hard.
A variation of the barrier resilience problem, studied by , restricts both the sensors and the escape path to a rectangle in the plane. In this variation, the goal is to find a path from the top side of the rectangle to the bottom side that passes through as few of the sensor disks as possible. By applying Menger's theorem to the unit disk graph defined from the barriers, this minimal number of disks can be shown to equal the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan%20Friso%20Groote | Jan Friso Groote (born April 13, 1965, in Doetinchem) is a Dutch computer scientist.
Education
Groote studied computer science at Twente University obtaining his master's degree in 1988 under supervision of Ed Brinksma. He obtained his PhD thesis in 1991 under Jan Bergstra and Jos Baeten at the University of Amsterdam, while working at the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam.
Profession
He contributed to structural operational semantics and verification technology. His particular contributions include the tyft/tyxt format for operational rules, the first algorithm to determine branching bisimulation and the cones and foci method to prove correctness of protocols and distributed algorithms. He is the founding godfather of the process modelling language and analysis tool sets muCRL and mCRL2.
He began working in 2000 as a full professor in verification technology at Eindhoven University of Technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20Retention%20and%20Investigatory%20Powers%20Act%202014 | The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (also known as DRIP or DRIPA) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, repealed in 2016. It received Royal Assent on 17 July 2014, after being introduced on 14 July 2014. The purpose of the legislation was to allow security services to continue to have access to phone and internet records of individuals following a previous repeal of these rights by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The act was criticised by some Members of Parliament for the speed at which the act was passed through parliament, by some groups (such as the Open Rights Group and Liberty) as being an infringement of privacy.
Following legal action, in July 2015, the High Court of Justice issued an order that sections 1 and 2 of the Act were unlawful, and to be disapplied, suspended until 31 March 2016, thereby giving the government a deadline to come up with alternative legislation which would be compatible with EU law.
an investigatory powers parliamentary bill was being drafted providing new surveillance powers, requiring records to be kept by Internet Service Providers tracking use of the internet from the UK, accessible by the police and security services without judicial oversight.
The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 was repealed on 31 December 2016 and replaced by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.
Revocation
On 1 August 2014, the Data Retention Regulations 2014 came into force, completing the framework introduced by the DRIP. They provide that a communications service provider can be required to retain data only when target of a notice of the Secretary of State. In December 2014, in R (on the application of David Davis MP and Tom Watson MP) v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr Justice Lewis (High Court) granted the Claimants permission to proceed to a substantive hearing, thus agreeing that the DRIP can be challenged by judicial review. As a reaction, the Government proposed using the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill (CTSB) to extend their remit to cover data generated as a result of internet communications.
On 4 June 2015 a legal challenge against the law was brought to the High Court by two MPs, Labour's Tom Watson and the Conservative David Davis represented by the civil liberties organisation Liberty. They claimed that the act was rushed through parliament and was incompatible with the Human Rights Act and the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights.
On 17 July 2015 the High Court upheld the challenge, finding sections 1 and 2 of the Act to be unlawful. The court found that the section 1 of the Act was contrary to EU law as a result of breaches of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU by virtue of the rights under Article 7 to a "private and family life, home and communications" and under article 8 which provides rights of the data held on an individual. The court found that these rights were breached based on the conclusions reached in Digital Rig |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector%20tiles | Vector tiles, tiled vectors or vectiles are packets of geographic data, packaged into pre-defined roughly-square shaped "tiles" for transfer over the web. This is an emerging method for delivering styled web maps, combining certain benefits of pre-rendered raster map tiles with vector map data. As with the widely used raster tiled web maps, map data is requested by a client as a set of "tiles" corresponding to square areas of land of a pre-defined size and location. Unlike raster tiled web maps, however, the server returns vector map data, which has been clipped to the boundaries of each tile, instead of a pre-rendered map image.
There are several major advantages of this hybrid approach. Compared to an un-tiled vector map, the data transfer is reduced, because only data within the current viewport, and at the current zoom level needs to be transferred. The GIS clipping operations can all be performed in advance, as the tile boundaries are pre-defined. This in turn means that tiled vector data can be packaged up and distributed, without needing any kind of GIS system available to serve data.
Compared to a tiled raster map, data transfer is also greatly reduced, as vector data is typically much smaller than a rendered bitmap. Also, styling can be applied later in the process, or even in the browser itself, allowing much greater flexibility in how data is presented. It is also easy to provide interactivity with map features, as their vector representation already exists within the client. Yet another benefit is that less centralised server processing power is required, since rasterisation can be performed directly in the client. This has been described as making "rendering ... a last-mile problem, with fast, high-quality GPU[s] in everyone’s pocket".
History
There is a long history of the use of vector tile schemes in GIS. A very early GIS (circa 1966), the Canada Geographic Information System (CGIS), used a vector tile storage scheme that allowed limited resource computers to efficiently access and process vector map data. CGIS used the term "frame" instead of vector tiles.
In 1975, the US Wildlife Service initiated a national program to map and digitize all the wetlands in the US. In 1976 they awarded a contract to Autometric to develop a software application that allowed stereo imagery to be digitized using an analytical stereo plotter. Later support for 2d digitization from single photos (aka single photo resection) on a digitizing table was added. The software was called WAMS (Wetlands Analytical Mapping System). The WAMS data store used a tiled vector structure. Each tile was called a “geounit”. A geounit corresponded to one of the USGS quadrangle scales, typically 1:24000. As the data were digitized, they were immediately stored in the tiled data store and topologically structured. Lines crossing geounit boundaries were automatically split. The storage Coordinate Reference System (CRS) was WGS 72 lat/long. WAMS is described in detail i |
