https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrib | The Scrib was an early portable computer made by the Swiss company Bobst Graphics, with support from Jean-Daniel Nicoud.
The Scrib was designed as a portable drafting tool for journalists : it was linked to an acoustic coupler, enabling reporters to send their articles over standard phone landlines. Its integrated tape recorder was able to save up to 8000 characters on a microcassette, with second socket available for quick rewinding of the tape.
The screen was mounted inside the case of the computer, at the rear, and displayed characters which were shown to the user on a foldable mirror.
The Scrib was awarded a design award at the 1978 Wescon Show.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDLS | TDLS, shortened from Tunneled Direct Link Setup, is "a seamless way to stream media and other data faster between devices already on the same Wi-Fi network." Devices using it communicate directly with one another, without involving the wireless network's router.
Wi-Fi Alliance added certification for TDLS in 2012. It describes this feature as technology that enables devices to link directly to one another when connected to a traditional Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED TDLS devices can set up secure links and transfer data directly between them. TDLS-linked devices benefit from an optimized connection to do things such as streaming video or synching content, without burdening the network as a whole.
The IEEE has endorsed this as the IEEE 802.11z standard.
Google's Cast protocol used by Chromecast utilizes TDLS to initiate screen mirroring.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPower | UPower (previously DeviceKit-power) is a piece of middleware (an abstraction layer) for power management on Linux systems. It enumerates power sources, maintains statistics and history data on them and notifies about status changes. It consists of a daemon (upowerd), an application programming interface and a set of command line tools. The daemon provides its functionality to applications over the system bus (an instance of D-Bus, service org.freedesktop.UPower). PolicyKit restricts access to the UPower functionality for initiating hibernate mode or shutting down the operating system (freedesktop.upower.policy).
The command-line client program upower can be used to query and monitor information about the power supply devices in the system. Graphical user interfaces to the functionality of UPower include the GNOME Power Manager and the Xfce Power Manager.
UPower is a product of the cross-desktop freedesktop.org project. As free software it is published with its source code under the terms of version 2 or later of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
It was conceived as a replacement for the corresponding features of the deprecated HAL. In 2008, David Zeuthen started a comprehensive rewrite of HAL. This resulted in a set of separate services under the new name "DeviceKit". In 2010 the included DeviceKit-power was renamed. UPower was first introduced and established as a standard in GNOME. In January 2011 the desktop environment Xfce followed (version 4.8).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS%20Thursday%20Night%20Movie | CBS Thursday Night Movie was the network's first venture into the weekly televising of then-recent theatrical films, debuting at the start of the 1965–1966 season, from 9:00 to 11 p.m. (Eastern Time). CBS was the last of the three U.S. major television networks to schedule a regular prime-time array of movies. Unlike its two competitors (NBC and ABC), CBS had delayed running feature films at the behest of the network's hierarchy. Indeed, as far back as 1960, when Paramount Pictures offered a huge backlog of pre-1948 titles for sale to television for $50 million, James T. Aubrey, program director at CBS, negotiated with the studio to buy the package for the network. Aubrey summed up his thinking this way: "I decided that the feature film was the thing for TV. A $250,000 specially-tailored television show just could not compete with a film that cost three or four million dollars." However, the network's chairman, William Paley, who considered the scheduling of old movies "uncreative", vetoed the Paramount transaction.
It was not until after Aubrey's departure from CBS in early 1965 that Paley finally conceded on the issue and cleared the way for the network to embark on its own prime-time weekly movie broadcast. After completing negotiations with various studios that year, the network acquired exclusive rights to televise a total of 90 titles from Columbia Pictures, United Artists, Paramount, and Warner Brothers—news of which resulted in rumors that the network would actually slate films for two prime-time nights rather than just one. This scheduling addition, however, would not be made until a season later; but reports of further meetings between CBS and Columbia over the acquisition of 20 more titles signaled that the network was now a serious movie-night contender. The Thursday Night Movie thus began on September 16, 1965, with the TV debut of the original The Manchurian Candidate (1962), starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey.
Controversy
CBS's new anthology was not to escape notoriety, as the network learned the evening of September 30. During its running of the Jack Lemmon-Kim Novak comedy, The Notorious Landlady, someone at the controls of the film's broadcast inadvertently got the reels mixed up, and it was with some chagrin that a network announcer issued an apology during a commercial break before a substantial portion of the movie was then replayed just to get the continuity back on track. What started out, therefore, as a 2-hour-and-15-minute airing wound up lasting approximately three hours. Then a month later, when the Burt Lancaster film Elmer Gantry (1960) was televised with approximately 30 minutes total in various deletions from its original 146-minute length, viewers complained that because of all the omissions, the movie made little sense. In fact, quite a few entries in the Thursday night anthology during the first season were over 2 hours long—and this was without commercial interruptions. These included The Counterfe |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional%20network | In network theory, multidimensional networks, a special type of multilayer network, are networks with multiple kinds of relations. Increasingly sophisticated attempts to model real-world systems as multidimensional networks have yielded valuable insight in the fields of social network analysis, economics, urban and international transport, ecology, psychology, medicine, biology, commerce, climatology, physics, computational neuroscience, operations management, and finance.
Terminology
The rapid exploration of complex networks in recent years has been dogged by a lack of standardized naming conventions, as various groups use overlapping and contradictory terminology to describe specific network configurations (e.g., multiplex, multilayer, multilevel, multidimensional, multirelational, interconnected). To fully leverage the dataset information on the directional nature of the communications, some authers consider only direct networks without any labels on vertices, and introduce the definition of edge-labeled multigraphs which can cover many multidimensional situations. The term "fully multidimensional" has also been used to refer to a multipartite edge-labeled multigraph. Multidimensional networks have also recently been reframed as specific instances of multilayer networks. In this case, there are as many layers as there are dimensions, and the links between nodes within each layer are simply all the links for a given dimension.
Definition
Unweighted multilayer networks
In elementary network theory, a network is represented by a graph in which is the set of nodes and the links between nodes, typically represented as a tuple of nodes . While this basic formalization is useful for analyzing many systems, real world networks often have added complexity in the form of multiple types of relations between system elements. An early formalization of this idea came through its application in the field of social network analysis (see, e.g., and papers on relational algebras in social networks) in which multiple forms of social connection between people were represented by multiple types of links.
To accommodate the presence of more than one type of link, a multidimensional network is represented by a triple , where is a set of dimensions (or layers), each member of which is a different type of link, and consists of triples with and .
Note that as in all directed graphs, the links and are distinct.
By convention, the number of links between two nodes in a given dimension is either 0 or 1 in a multidimensional network. However, the total number of links between two nodes across all dimensions is less than or equal to .
Weighted multilayer networks
In the case of a weighted network, this triplet is expanded to a quadruplet , where is the weight on the link between and in the dimension .
Further, as is often useful in social network analysis, link weights may take on positive or negative values. Such signed networks can better reflect relati |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd%20Mom%20Out | Odd Mom Out is an American sitcom that was created by and starring Jill Kargman. A 10-episode first season was ordered by the American cable television network Bravo. The series focuses on Jill Kargman playing a fictionalized version of herself, Jill Weber, who is forced to navigate the clique of wealthy mothers who reside in New York's prestigious Upper East Side neighborhood. The principal photography commenced in September 2014; the show is filmed at various locations in New York City. The series premiered on June 8, 2015. On September 22, 2016, the network renewed Odd Mom Out for a 10-episode third season shortly after the second season concluded. On October 6, 2017, the show was canceled after its third season.
Concept
Odd Mom Out is based on a novel called Momzillas which was published in 2007 by Jill Kargman. The book was developed into a television series, in which Kargman plays Jill Weber, a fictionalized version of herself who "is living in an ecosystem that has become so elite, so hip, and so trendy, that she now finds herself the 'odd mom out'." The half-hour comedy is not-so-loosely based on Jill's own life; the series chronicles the life of ultra-wealthy "momzillas" living in New York's Upper East Side. Other cast members include Andy Buckley who plays Jill's wealthy and noble husband, Andy, Abby Elliott as Brooke, Jill's sister-in-law and a fellow "momzilla", Sean Kleier as Jill's extremely successful brother-in-law, Lex, KK Glick as Vanessa, an ER doctor and Jill's best friend, and Joanna Cassidy who plays Jill's mother-in-law, Candace.
Jill Kargman created the satirical series inspired by her real-life experiences living in New York City. The female characters are depicted as typical snooty moms of Upper East Side living a privileged life, trying to survive in highly competitive environment, and "surrounded by lacquered socialites". "Laughter is the key for me. This is not trying to do a study on a neighborhood or send up a particular petri dish of a world," series' creator explains the main goal of the show. "It's really just to make people laugh. That's my only hope."
Development
Bravo announced the development of Odd Mom Out in April 2014. The series is a part of the new direction that Bravo, an American cable television network which has predominantly aired shows of reality genre, has been trying to take by adding scripted programming to their lineup. Frances Berwick, the president of Bravo since 2010, explained the decision by saying that the network is "going into this because we feel like it will complement the schedule and, to a certain extent, round out what we are already doing on the unscripted side." Berwick also acknowledged that finding success in developing scripted television would "probably add a cachet of quality". Odd Mom Out is the network's second scripted series as part of its scripted television block with the first being Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce which debuted on Bravo in December 2014, and was s |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20Wilson%20%28lexicographer%29 | Thomas Wilson (1563–1622) was an English Anglican priest, known as the compiler of an early biblical reference work.
Life
Born in County Durham, Wilson matriculated at The Queen's College, Oxford on 17 November 1581, aged 18. He graduated B.A. on 7 February 1584, and was licensed M.A. on 7 July 1586. He was elected chaplain of the college, apparently before he was ordained, on 24 April 1585.
In July 1586 Wilson was appointed rector of St. George the Martyr, Canterbury through the influence of Henry Robinson, to whom he had owed his college education. He remained at Canterbury for the rest of his life, preaching three or four sermons every week, and popular with Puritans, but complained of by others to Archbishop George Abbot for nonconformity. He was acting as chaplain to Thomas Wotton in 1611.
Wilson died at Canterbury in January 1622, and was buried in his own churchyard, outside the chancel, on the 25th. A funeral sermon was preached by William Swift of St. Andrew's, Canterbury. He was married and left a large family.
Works
Wilson's major work was his Christian Dictionarie (London, 1612), one of the earliest attempts made at a concordance of the Bible in English. It ran through many editions. The fourth was enlarged by John Bagwell (n.d., London); the fifth appeared in 1647; the sixth (1655) was further expanded by Andrew Symson.
His Commentarie on the Epistle to the Romans, written in the form of a dialogue between Timotheus and Silas, took Wilson seven years to write. It was reprinted in 1627, and reached a third edition in 1653. In 1611 he published a volume containing Jacob's Ladder; or, a short Treatise laying forth the severall Degrees of Gods Eternall Purpose, A Dialogue about Jvstification by Faith, A Receit against Heresie, and two sermons. With other sermons, and works apparently lost, he wrote Saints by Calling; or, Called to be Saints, London, 1620.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azores%20Geopark | The Azores Geopark () is a network of 121 geographically-dispersed sites of geographic heritage and marine areas that covers the nine volcanic islands of the archipelago of the Azores. This network is managed by the Azores Geopark Association, a non-profit association, with its headquarters in Horta on the island of Faial, established 19 May 2010. It is part of the European Geoparks Network and the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. The Association's mission is to ensure the geological conservation, environmental education and sustainable development, while promoting the well-being of the population and a respect for the environment.
Geopark
The term is used to define a well-defined territory and boundary, whose existence is based on an exceptional geological heritage and a strategy that promotes the well-being of the population while maintaining a respect for the environment. Consequently, the Geopark includes a number of significant sites of geological interest, based on their unique or rare characteristics or which have a scientific, cultural, economic (tourist), scenic or aesthetic relevance. Similarly, if its ecology, history or cultural value, along with its thematic or comparable infrastructures can be interconnected in a network, by trails or routes.
Due to its nature, the geopark concept is based on several objectives:
Conservation and preservation of geosites of particular importance, exploring and developing methods for geo-conservation, in order to protect the geological patrimony for future generations;
Environmental education to promote public consciousness of the important geological heritage and its contribution to the surrounding environment; and to support scientific research and dissemination, as well as encouraging a dialogue between geoscientists and local communities;
Stimulate economic activity and sustainable development, through the promotion of nature and rural tourism (Geotourism) for the socio-economic development of the local populations; and to develop an appreciation for the natural and cultural heritage, towards revitalizing traditional activities and products of excellence and quality.
Geography
Situated west of continental Portugal, about northwest of Madeira and approximately southeast of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Azores Geopark includes several geologically-significant sites throughout all nine islands and maritime seafloor of the Azores. There are 121 geosites in the nine islands, most of them with international or national relevance. The Geopark extends across an area of , including of marine territory. Among these geosites, 57 were considered priority locations for the application of geoconservation strategies or for appreciation programs.
The archipelago of the Azores includes a rich and vast geodiversity, and an important geological heritage, comprising various locales of interest to the scientific and learning communities, in addition to its socio-economic importance to tourism. Due to it b |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkHotel | DarkHotel (or Darkhotel) is a targeted spear-phishing spyware and malware-spreading campaign that appears to be selectively attacking business hotel visitors through the hotel's in-house WiFi network. It is characterized by Kaspersky Lab as an advanced persistent threat.
The attacks are specifically targeted at senior company executives, using forged digital certificates, generated by factoring the underlying weak public keys of real certificates, to convince victims that prompted software downloads are valid.
Uploading malicious code to hotel servers, attackers are able to target specific users who are guests at luxury hotels primarily in Asia and the United States. Zetter (2014) explains that the group, dubbed DarkHotel or Tapaoux, has also been actively infecting users through spear-phishing and Peer-to-Peer networks since 2007 and using those attacks to load key logging and reverse engineering tools onto infected endpoints.
Targets are aimed primarily at executives in investments and development, government agencies, defense industries, electronic manufacturers and energy policy makers. Many victims have been located in Korea, China, Russia and Japan.
Once attackers are in the victim's computer(s), sensitive information such as passwords and intellectual property are quickly stolen before attackers erase their tools in hopes of not getting caught in order to keep the high level victims from resetting all of the passwords for their accounts.
In July 2017 Bitdefender published new research about Inexsmar, another version of the DarkHotel malware, which was used to target political figures instead of business targets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeywell%20CP-6 | CP-6 is a discontinued computer operating system, developed by Honeywell, Inc. in 1976, which was a backward-compatible work-alike of the Xerox CP-V fully rewritten for Honeywell Level/66 hardware. CP-6 was a command line oriented system. A terminal emulator allowed use of PCs as CP-6 terminals.
History
In 1975, Xerox decided to sell the computer business which it had purchased from Scientific Data Systems in 1969. In a deal put together by Harry Sweatt, Honeywell purchased Xerox Data Systems, and took on the Xerox sales and field computer support staff to provide field service support to the existing customer base. Xerox made available all the spare equipment and supplies and the warehouses containing them. Revenues were shared 60/40 Xerox until CP-6 General Release, and 60/40 Honeywell for three years thereafter. Following that, all revenue went to Honeywell.
In the early 1960s, Honeywell had built and sold a large number of H200 machines, together with software. In 1970 it had bought the computer business of General Electric.
LADC and the development of CP-6
In 1976, Honeywell began developing the CP-6 system, including its operating system and program products to attract Xerox CP-V users (about 750 Sigma users) to buy and use Honeywell equipment. Honeywell employed an initial team of 60 programmers from the Xerox CP-V development team, and added another 30 programmers plus management and staff. Organized by Hank Hoagland and Shel Klee, the team was housed at an old Xerox marketing office at 5250 W. Century Blvd in Los Angeles, which became known as the Los Angeles Development Center (LADC). The new operating system was to be called CP-6. LADC reported administratively to the Honeywell computer group in Phoenix, a facility, which Honeywell had acquired from General Electric.
The first beta site was installed at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, in June 1979, and three other sites were installed before the end of 1979. Customers worked with LADC both directly and through the Exchange Users group throughout the specification and development period to review and approve the direction of development, the compromises and order of feature implementation.
Comshare, a major Xerox customer, but with their own operating system, needed more capacity to service their rapidly expanding timesharing business. So, with the help of LADC hardware engineers and using the Xerox specifications, Honeywell engineers in Phoenix built 30 Sigma 9 computers, 24 for Comshare and six for other customers. This project was initiated in 1978, and the machines were sold at the original retail price and delivered beginning in the third quarter of 1979 until 1981.
The CP-6 product
CP-6 was modeled on Xerox's CP-V. The code was completely rewritten in a new high-level language, PL-6, designed and built expressly for that purpose, rather than in assembly language as CP-V had been, because of increasing complexities of the new virtual addressing hardware (such as tha |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-Enhanced%20Working%20Dog | The Cyber-Enhanced Working Dog (CEWD) is a four-pound dog harness that is wrapped around a work force dog, such as a search and rescue dog. In its current status, the apparatus is a prototype developed by computer tech researchers at North Carolina State University and it provides nearly 100 ways to communicate with a dog wearing one, through vibrations produced by the harness and voice commands sent through speakers.
The harness could help future dog search and rescues, it can detect for gas leaks and it is also equipped with microphones and cameras to help assist in rescues; it has an eight-hour battery life. The apparatus can also detect the dog's stress level, which is considered both an important factor to establish how much to prolong a search and rescue, as well as something that can shorten the dog's life. To work with a Cyber-Enhanced Working Dogs, it is necessary for the dogs to be specifically trained.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaar%20Sahibzaade | Chaar Sahibzaade (; ) is a 2014 Indian Punjabi - Hindi 3D computer-animated historical drama film written and directed by Harry Baweja. It is based on the sacrifices of the sons of the 10th Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh—Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh, Zorawar Singh, and Fateh Singh. Om Puri provided the film's narration, and the voice artists for various characters were kept anonymous. It was also the highest grossing Punjabi film when it was released. It was surpassed by Carry on Jatta 2 in July 2018.
Produced by Pammi Baweja under the banner Baweja Movies, the film was released on 6 November 2014 to positive reviews from critics and audiences, and the movie emerged as a major box office success, eventually becoming the highest grossing animated movie ever to have been produced in India.
Synopsis
The film starts with invasions of India by the Mughal Empire. Guru Tegh Bahadur (the ninth Guru of Sikhdom) sacrificed his life for the rights and freedom of religion of the Kashmiri pandits. Following this, Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa to counter the invading forces with martyrdom as the fundamental principle of defence. The film depicts the Battle of Anandpur (1700) in which the Mughal General Painde Khan was slain by Guru Gobind Singh. The film also depicts the Battle of Chamkaur which took place in December, 1704 CE in which forty two Sikhs (under Guru Gobind Singh) fought bravely against ten lakh Mughal forces under the command of Wazir Khan. In the Battle of Chamkaur, both the elder sons of Guru Gobind Singh Sahibzada Ajit Singh and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh were martyred in combat. The Mughals were composed of large numbers, yet ultimately failed to capture Guru Gobind Singh, culminating in their defeat. The younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, were taken to Wazir Khan's palace and were executed by the Mughal ruler of Sirhind. Wazir Khan gave orders that the masons immure both sons into a section of the city's wall.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%20Glickauf | Joseph Simon Glickauf Jr. (January 15, 1912 – July 9, 2005), was an American-born engineer, inventor and corporate executive known as one of the first advocates of the use of computers in business and industry and the "father" of the computer consulting industry.
Glickauf graduated from Hyde Park High School in Chicago and attended Illinois Institute of Technology. He joined the United States Navy in 1942 and was assigned to the Research Division of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. He became a lieutenant. After leaving the navy, he was hired by Arthur Andersen Co. immediately in 1946 and was tasked with initiating the use of the freshly invented computer for his employer. Glickauf became familiar with the capabilities of the UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) and immediately saw the far-reaching implications of computers for business. To demonstrate the computer to Arthur Andersen’s employees he built the Arthur Andersen Demonstration Computer known as "Glickiac". The company management was quick to see the potential and made resources available for future development.
In 1953 General Electric Appliances hired Arthur Andersen to automate GE's payroll. Glickauf lead the effort and recommended GE the installation of a UNIVAC I computer and printer. The project was initially a failure but it started what is now known as "computer consulting".
He is buried at Plum Lake Cemetery, Sayner, Wisconsin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDHC-LD | WDHC-LD is a low-power television station that is licensed to and serving Dickson, Tennessee. It is affiliated with The Family Channel network, and it is owned by R & F Communications, Inc. of Dickson, Tennessee. It broadcasts on VHF channel 6.
The station's transmitter is located near Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee.
History
The Lebanon, Kentucky years
The station was founded at the time by W&H Broadcasting Company in 1987 and was licensed to and served Lebanon, Kentucky. The station would not sign on until 1995, when it began to carry programming from America One.
Due to its very low power output of 300 watts (0.3 kW), the station's signal originally served all of Marion County, along with northern Taylor and Washington Counties, all of which is in the Louisville, Kentucky media market. On a clear day, the station could be picked up in western Boyle County, which is in the Lexington TV market.
On December 4, 1998, the station would be sold to B&B Management, the sale would be finalized a year later on January 5, 1999. Eleven months later on December 20, 1999, the station would be sold to local businessman Gary White, and the sale would be finalized one month later on January 25, 2000.
W06AY-D was also carried on Time Warner Cable systems in Marion and Washington Counties, as well as in Nelson County, which includes the Bardstown area when the station was in Lebanon. Until its 2021 closure of its Lebanon operations, the station was also a sponsor of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.
Relocation to Dickson, Tennessee
On June 23, 2020, Gary White would sell W06AY to R & F Communications, Inc. of Dickson, Tennessee, led by Lori Reddon Forte (a native of Dickson) and her husband Kenneth Forte, the latter of which also owns local country music radio station WDKN. Also with the sale of the station, R & F Communications announced that the station would relocate from Lebanon, Kentucky to Dickson, Tennessee, share studios with radio station WDKN, will begin to broadcast local sports, other local programming and will affiliate with The Family Channel (a network owned by Reach High Media Group) and would change its call sign to WDHC-LD. The station went off the air on March 15, 2021, in preparations to relocate to its new broadcasting location of Dickson, Tennessee, and would officially change its callsign eleven days later on March 26, 2021.
Indiana news on a Tennessee station
On October 19, 2023, It was reported that R&F Communications co-owner and president, Kenneth Forte and Circle City Broadcasting owner, president, and CEO, DuJuan McCoy entered into an agreement to broadcast all news programming of Circle City’s Indianapolis-based CW affiliate WISH-TV over the R&F-owned WDHC-LD, which will bring WISH’s news content to an additional 1.7 million people. The new affiliation agreement is set to start on November 1, 2023. With this agreement, WDHC will become one of five other non-local stations to carry WISH-TV's news programming, joining stations in C |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agora%20%28online%20marketplace%29 | Agora was a darknet market operating in the Tor network, launched in 2013 and shut down in August 2015.
Agora was unaffected by Operation Onymous, the November 2014 seizure of several darknet websites (most notably Silk Road 2.0). After Evolution closed in an exit scam in March 2015, Agora replaced it as the largest darknet market.
In October 2014 to January 2015, the art collective !Mediengruppe Bitnik explored darknet culture in an exhibition in Switzerland, The Darknet: From Memes to Onionland, displaying the purchases of the Random Darknet Shopper, an automated online shopping bot that spent $100 in Bitcoins per week on Agora. The aim was to examine philosophical questions surrounding the darknet, such as the legal culpability of a piece of software or robot. The exhibition of the robot's purchases, a landscape of traded goods that included a bag of ten 120 mg Ecstasy pills "with no bullshit inside" (containing 90 mg of MDMA), was staged next door to a police station near Zürich.
In August 2015, Agora's admins released a PGP signed message announcing a pause of operations to protect the site against potential attacks that they believed might be used to deanonymize server locations:
After the closure of Agora, most activity moved over to the darknet market AlphaBay, lasting until its shutdown by law enforcement in July 2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMPLEC%20algorithm | The SIMPLEC (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations-Consistent) algorithm; a modified form of SIMPLE algorithm; is a commonly used numerical procedure in the field of computational fluid dynamics to solve the Navier–Stokes equations.
This algorithm was developed by Van Doormal and Raithby in 1984. The algorithm follows the same steps as the SIMPLE algorithm, with the variation that the momentum equations are manipulated, allowing the SIMPLEC velocity correction equations to omit terms that are less significant than those omitted in SIMPLE. This modification attempts to minimize the effects of dropping velocity neighbor correction terms.
Algorithm
The steps involved are same as the SIMPLE algorithm and the algorithm is iterative in nature. p*, u*, v* are guessed Pressure, X-direction velocity and Y-direction velocity respectively, p', u', v' are the correction terms respectively and p, u, v are the correct fields respectively; Φ is the property for which we are solving and d terms are involved with the under relaxation factor. So, steps are as follows:
Specify the boundary conditions and guess the initial values.
Determine the velocity and pressure gradients.
Calculate the pseudo velocities.
Solve for the pressure equation and get the p.
Set p*=p.
Using p* solve the discretized momentum equation and get u* and v*.
Solve the pressure correction equation.
Get the pressure correction term and evaluate the corrected velocities and get p, u, v, Φ*.
Solve all other discretized transport equations.
If Φ shows convergence, then STOP and if not, then set p*=p, u*=u, v*=v, Φ*=Φ and start the iteration again.
Peculiar features
The discretized pressure correction equation is same as in the SIMPLE algorithm, except for the d terms which are used in momentum equations.
p=p*+p' which tells that the under relaxing factor is not there in SIMPLEC as it was in SIMPLE.
SIMPLEC algorithm is seen to converge 1.2-1.3 times faster than the SIMPLE algorithm
It doesn't solve extra equations like SIMPLER algorithm.
The cost per iteration is same as in the case of SIMPLE.
Like SIMPLE, a bad pressure field guess will destroy a good velocity field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution%20%28marketplace%29 | Evolution was a darknet market operating on the Tor network. The site was founded by an individual known as 'Verto' who also founded the now defunct Tor Carding Forum. Evolution was active between 14th January 2014 and mid March 2015.
History
Launched January 14, 2014, it saw rapid growth within its first several months, helped in part by law enforcement seizures of some of its competitors during the six-month-long investigation codenamed Operation Onymous. Speaking about why Evolution was not part of Operation Onymous, the head of the European police cybercrimes division said it was "because there's only so much we can do on one day." Wired estimated that it was one of the two largest drug markets.
Evolution was similar to other darknet markets in its prohibitions, disallowing "child pornography, services related to murder/assassination/terrorism, prostitution, ponzi schemes, and lotteries". Where it most prominently differed was in its more lax rules concerning stolen credit cards and others kinds of fraud, permitting, for example, the wholesaling of credit card data.
Shut down
In mid-March 2015, administrators froze its users escrow accounts, disallowing withdrawals, citing technical difficulties. Evolution had earned a reputation not just for its security, but also for its professionalism and reliability, with an uptime rate much higher than its competition. Partly for that reason, when the site went offline a few days later, on March 18, the user community panicked. The shut down was discovered to be an exit scam, with the operators of the site shutting down abruptly in order to steal the approximately $12 million in bitcoins it was holding as escrow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphans%20%28American%20Horror%20Story%29 | "Orphans" is the tenth episode of the fourth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story, which premiered on December 17, 2014, on the cable network FX. It was written by James Wong and directed by Bradley Buecker.
Although American Horror Story is categorized as an anthology series, the episode is notable for being the first in the series to directly tie two seasons together, acknowledging that both plot lines and series of events exist within the same universe. In the episode's finale, Pepper (Naomi Grossman) is institutionalised in Briarcliff Manor, the main location of American Horror Story: Asylum (in which she also appears) and is shown meeting Sister Mary Eunice McKee (Lily Rabe) two years before the events of Asylum take place.
Plot
Pepper's life is shattered when she finds that her husband, Salty, has died in his sleep.
Elsa reveals to Desiree that she began her troupe after noticing the freaks were not being treated as they should be. Elsa found Pepper at an orphanage and recruited Ma Petite to act as Pepper's child and later found Salty. Desiree suggests returning Pepper to her elder sister.
Stanley convinces Elsa to let him take care of Salty's body after telling her he would have the pinhead cremated, but he chops off the head and sells it to the Museum of Morbid Curiosities. Maggie confesses to Desiree that she and Stanley are con artists. The two visit the museum and are shocked to find Ma Petite's body, Salty's severed head, and Jimmy's hands on display. Elsa tracks down Pepper's sister, Rita, and convinces her to take in Pepper.
Nine years later, Rita gives birth to a deformed baby, and her husband convinces her to frame Pepper for the baby's murder. After committing Pepper to Briarcliff, Sister Mary Eunice has Pepper assist her in the library sorting magazines. While doing so, Pepper finds a magazine with Elsa on the cover.
Reception
Reviews
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the episode has an approval rating of 85% based on 13 reviews. The critical consensus reads: "A deeper look into the sad story of Pepper makes "Orphans" one of the more heartfelt episodes of Freak Show."
Emily L. Stephens of The A.V. Club praised Naomi Grossman's "almost wordless" performance as Pepper, opining that it "strikes a ringing note of feeling".
Ratings
The episode was watched by 2.99 million viewers during its original broadcast, making it the highest rated cable program of the day although a minor dip from the 3.07 million viewers the previous episode totalled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example-centric%20programming | Example-centric programming is an approach to software development that helps the user to create software by locating and modifying small examples into a larger whole. That approach can be helped by tools that allow an integrated development environment (IDE) to show code examples or API documentation related to coding behaviors occurring in the IDE. “Borrow” tactics are often employed from online sources, by programmers leaving the IDE to troubleshoot.
The purpose of example-centric programming is to reduce the time spent by developers searching online. Ideally, in example-centric programming, the user interface integrates with help module examples for assistance without programmers leaving the IDE. The idea for this type of “instant documentation” is to reduce programming interruptions. The usage of this feature is not limited to experts, as some novices reap the benefits of an integrated knowledge base, without resorting to frequent web searches or browsing.
Background
The growth of the web has fundamentally changed the way software is built. Vast increase in information resources and the democratization of access and distribution are main factors in the development of example-centric programming for end-user development. Tutorials are available on the web in seconds thus broadening the space of who writes it: designers, scientists, or hobbyists. By 2012 13 million program as a part of their job, yet only three million of those are actual professional programmers.
Prevalence of online code repositories, documentation, blogs and forums—enables programmers to build applications iteratively searching for, modifying, and combining examples.
Using the web is integral to an opportunistic approach to programming when focusing on speed and ease of development over code robustness and maintainability. There is a widespread use of the web by programmers, novices and experts alike, to prototype, ideate, and discover.
To develop software quickly programmers often mash up various existing systems. As part of this process, programmers must often search for suitable components and learn new skills, thus they began using the web for this purpose.
When developing software programmers spend 19% of their programming time on the web. Individuals use the web to accomplish several different kinds of activities. The intentions behind web use vary in form and time spent. Programmers spend most of the time learning a new concept, the least time is spent reminding themselves of details of a concept they already know, and in between they use the web to clarify their existing knowledge.
Example-centric programming tries to solve the issue of having to get out of the development environment to look for references and examples while programming. For instance, traditionally, to find API documentation and sample code, programmers will either visit the language reference website or go to search engines and make API specific queries. When trying to learn something new, pr |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Association%20of%20Wesleyan%20Evangelicals | The National Association of Wesleyan Evangelicals is a Wesleyan-Holiness Christian network of churches and ministers concentrated mostly in the Southern United States.
The association claims seven member congregations and a handful of individual members, affiliated house churches, and ministries—most of which were formerly part of the Evangelical Methodist Church's now-dissolved Southern District. (It is not an association of denominations like the similarly named National Association of Evangelicals.) It has been headquartered in Carrollton, Georgia, since 2010 and officially formed in 2011 at its first annual meeting.
Background
The National Association of Wesleyan Evangelicals (NAWE) was formed in the wake of longstanding disagreements regarding congregationalism in its parent body, the Evangelical Methodist Church (EMC).
Evangelical Methodism began in 1946 as "a double protest against what were considered autocratic and undemocratic government on the one hand and a tendency toward modernism on the other in the Methodist Church." The predominant body which grew out of this movement was the EMC denomination, founded in 1946 and led by Dr. J. H. Hamblen, who had previously faced Methodist church-law charges after forming an independent house-based congregation during a sabbatical.
The EMC was founded as a "congregational-connectional" association of churches with a goal of restoring American Methodism to its Wesleyan and Holiness movement roots, as well as subsequent revivalist practices.
Disagreements over congregational power and denominational control have led to many disputes and fractures, starting with the exodus of the congregationalist Evangelical Methodist Church of America in 1952. This disagreement reached a fever pitch in 2007 when plans were announced to centralize the U.S. districts of the EMC into a single entity, and expand the powers of the General Superintendent into a bishop-like role, complete with introducing this title as an alternative term for superintendent. The Southern District of the EMC disapproved of the changes at a 2008 conference.
The EMC's General Conference entered into legal action, and then court-ordered arbitration, with dissenting churches who wished to disaffiliate with the EMC because of these changes. Most of the Southern District churches which formed the NAWE simply dropped "Evangelical Methodist" from their name while retaining their property following the conclusion of the arbitration.
NAWE advertises itself as "an association, not a denomination" to "come alongside pastors and their congregations to help them better serve their communities." The small network has developed a six-step course of study for lay certification and ordination, youth missions outings, and an annual pastors and wives retreat.
The association maintains a standard Evangelical and Wesleyan theological stance, with a modest Wesleyan-Holiness statement on sanctification: "We believe that there is a sanctifying experience |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Block%20%28season%2011%29 | The eleventh season of Australian reality television series The Block premiered on 6 September 2015 on the Nine Network. Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) return from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. The first preview was shown on August 4, 2015. This season was also known by the name The Block: Blocktagon, but was the first since the second season to not include the season title on-screen.
Production
Nine renewed The Block for an eleventh season in April 2015, with production commencing in May 2015. The season was announced as going 'back-to-basics' after ratings declines during the tenth season, seeing episodes cut from 90 to 60 minutes, fewer episodes, the eliminations will be removed and Thursday night episodes dropped.
This former hotel is located at 5 Commercial Road in South Yarrow.
Filming for the eleventh began on 15 May 2015. The season renovated the former Hotel Saville in South Yarra - an octagonal, eight floor brick building.
Co-creator Julian Cress said that this season of The Block will have no tradies and only passionate do-it-yourself couples, in other seasons of The Block, at least one person in each team has a trade. The change comes in the new direction in the back-to-basics change to the season, he said viewers will relate more to the characters who are big on spirit but small on skills when the show returns later this year.
The Blocktagon building is now listed in the international list of Octagonal Buildings & Structures.
Contestants
The Block: Blocktagon is the third season to have five couples instead of the traditional four couples.

Controversy
On 10 November 2015, it was reported that contestant Suzi Taylor had collapsed on set, a Nine Network spokeswoman Victoria Buchan said: "Suzi was suffering from exhaustion after a busy day with The Block open for inspections.", but on 12 November 2015, Ms Taylor had a photo captured of her naked on a boat after oaks day in Melbourne, it had then been reported that her collapse was caused by "non-stop partying" throughout the Spring Racing Carnival and not exhaustion, due to this Ms Taylor was "canned" by Nine with all her promotional commitments being cut off until after the auction.
Ms Taylor has since been threatened to lose her payout of $174,500 after ignoring the terms her contract which states she shall not undertake any media interviews without the program's consent until her contract with Channel Nine is up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional%20spectral%20estimation | Multidimension spectral estimation is a generalization of spectral estimation, normally formulated for one-dimensional signals, to multidimensional signals or multivariate data, such as wave vectors.
Motivation
Multidimensional spectral estimation has gained popularity because of its application in fields like medicine, aerospace, sonar, radar, bio informatics and geophysics. In the recent past, a number of methods have been suggested to design models with finite parameters to estimate the power spectrum of multidimensional signals. In this article, we will be looking into the basics of methods used to estimate the power spectrum of multidimensional signals.
Applications
There are many applications of spectral estimation of multi-D signals such as classification of signals as low pass, high pass, pass band and stop band. It is also used in compression and coding of audio and video signals, beam forming and direction finding in radars, Seismic data estimation and processing, array of sensors and antennas and vibrational analysis. In the field of radio astronomy, it is used to synchronize the outputs of an array of telescopes.
Basic Concepts
In a single dimensional case, a signal is characterized by an amplitude and a time scale. The basic concepts involved in spectral estimation include autocorrelation, multi-D Fourier transform, mean square error and entropy. When it comes to multidimensional signals, there are two main approaches: use a bank of filters or estimate the parameters of the random process in order to estimate the power spectrum.
Methods
Classical Estimation Theory
It is a technique to estimate the power spectrum of a single dimensional or a multidimensional signal as it cannot be calculated accurately. Given are samples of a wide sense stationary random process and its second order statistics (measurements).The estimates are obtained by applying a multidimensional Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the random signal. The estimation begins by calculating a periodogram which is obtained by squaring the magnitude of the multidimensional Fourier transform of the measurements ri(n). The spectral estimates obtained from the periodogram have a large variance in amplitude for consecutive periodogram samples or in wavenumber. This problem is resolved using techniques that constitute the classical estimation theory. They are as follows:
1.Bartlett suggested a method that averages the spectral estimates to calculate the power spectrum. The measurements are divided into equally spaced segments in time and an average is taken. This gives a better estimate.
2.Based on the wavenumber and index of the receiver/output we can partition the segments. This increases the spectral estimates and decreases the variances between consecutive segments.
3.Welch suggested that we should divide the measurements using data window functions, calculate a periodogram, average them to get a spectral estimate and calculate the power spectrum usi |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC%2020248 | ISO/IEC 20248 Automatic Identification and Data Capture Techniques – Data Structures – Digital Signature Meta Structure is an international standard specification under development by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31/WG 2. This development is an extension of SANS 1368, which is the current published specification. ISO/IEC 20248 and SANS 1368 are equivalent standard specifications. SANS 1368 is a South African national standard developed by the South African Bureau of Standards.
ISO/IEC 20248 [and SANS 1368] specifies a method whereby data stored within a barcode and/or RFID tag is structured and digitally signed. The purpose of the standard is to provide an open and interoperable method, between services and data carriers, to verify data originality and data integrity in an offline use case. The ISO/IEC 20248 data structure is also called a "DigSig" which refers to a small, in bit count, digital signature.
ISO/IEC 20248 also provides an effective and interoperable method to exchange data messages in the Internet of Things [IoT] and machine to machine [M2M] services allowing intelligent agents in such services to authenticate data messages and detect data tampering.
Description
ISO/IEC 20248 can be viewed as an X.509 application specification similar to S/MIME. Classic digital signatures are typically too big (the digital signature size is typically more than 2k bits) to fit in barcodes and RFID tags while maintaining the desired read performance. ISO/IEC 20248 digital signatures, including the data, are typically smaller than 512 bits. X.509 digital certificates within a public key infrastructure (PKI) is used for key and data description distribution. This method ensures the open verifiable decoding of data stored in a barcode and/or RFID tag into a tagged data structure; for example JSON and XML.
ISO/IEC 20248 addresses the need to verify the integrity of physical documents and objects. The standard counters verification costs of online services and device to server malware attacks by providing a method for multi-device and offline verification of the data structure. Examples documents and objects are education and medical certificates, tax and share/stock certificates, licences, permits, contracts, tickets, cheques, border documents, birth/death/identity documents, vehicle registration plates, art, wine, gemstones and medicine.
A DigSig stored in a QR code or near field communications (NFC) RFID tag can easily be read and verified using a smartphone with an ISO/IEC 20248 compliant application. The application only need to go online once to obtain the appropriate DigSig certificate, where after it can offline verify all DigSigs generated with that DigSig certificate.
A DigSig stored in a barcode can be copied without influencing the data verification. For example; a birth or school certificate containing a DigSig barcode can be copied. The copied document can also be verified to contain the correct information and the issuer of the informa |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta%20Matcher | Manta Matcher is a global online database for manta rays.
Creation
It is one of the Wildbook Web applications developed by Wild Me, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in the United States, and was created in partnership with Andrea Marshall of the Marine Megafauna Foundation.
Manta rays have unique spot patterning on their undersides, which allows for individual identification. Scuba divers around the world can photograph mantas and upload their manta identification photographs to the Manta Matcher website, supporting global research and conservation efforts.
Identification of rays
Manta Matcher is a pattern-matching software that eases researcher workload; key spot pattern features are extracted using a scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) algorithm, which can cope with complications presented by highly variable spot patterns and low contrast photographs.
Purpose and research supported
This citizen science tool is free to use by researchers worldwide. Manta Matcher represents a global initiative to centralize manta ray sightings and facilitate research on these vulnerable species through collaborative studies, including the cross-referencing of regional databases.
Manta Matcher has already supported research that contributed to the listing of reef mantas (Manta alfredi) on Appendix 1 of the Convention on Migratory Species in November 2014.
