https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice%20network | A symmetrical lattice is a two-port electrical wave filter in which diagonally-crossed shunt elements are present – a configuration which sets it apart from ladder networks. The component arrangement of the lattice is shown in the diagram below. The filter properties of this circuit were first developed using image impedance concepts, but later the more general techniques of network analysis were applied to it.
There is a duplication of components in the lattice network as the "series impedances" (instances of Za) and "shunt impedances" (instances of Zb) both occur twice, an arrangement that offers increased flexibility to the circuit designer with a variety of responses achievable. It is possible for the lattice network to have the characteristics of: a delay network, an amplitude or phase correcting network, a dispersive network or as a linear phase filter, according to the choice of components for the lattice elements.
Configuration
The basic configuration of the symmetrical lattice is shown in the left-hand diagram. A commonly used short-hand version is shown on the right, with dotted lines indicating the presence the second pair of matching impedances.
It is possible with this circuit to have the characteristic impedance specified independently of its transmission properties, a feature not available to ladder filter structures. In addition, it is possible to design the circuit to be a constant-resistance network for a range of circuit characteristics.
The lattice structure can be converted to an unbalanced form (see below), for insertion in circuits with a ground plane. Such conversions also reduce the component count and relax component tolerances.
It is possible to redraw the lattice in the Wheatstone bridge configuration (as shown in the article Zobel network). However, this is not a convenient format in which to investigate the properties of lattice filters, especially their behavior in cascade.
Basic properties
Results from image theory
Filter theory was initially developed from earlier studies of transmission lines. In this theory, a filter section is specified in terms of its propagation constant and image impedance (or characteristic impedance).
Specifically for the lattice, the propagation function, , and characteristic impedance, o, are defined by,
and
Once and o have been chosen, solutions can be found for and from which the characteristics of a and b
can each be determined. (In practice, the choices for and o are restricted to those which result in physically realisable impedances for a and b .)
Although a filter circuit may have one or more pass-bands and possibly several stop-bands (or attenuation regions), only networks with a single pass-band are considered here.
In the pass-band of the circuit, the product is real (i.e. o is resistive) and may be equated to o, the terminating resistance of the filter. So

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLAB | MLAB (Modeling LABoratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language was originally developed at the National Institutes of Health.
A proprietary programming language developed by Civilized Software, Inc., MLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, and implementation of algorithms, and provides support for curve-fitting, differential equations, statistics and graphics.
MLAB is intended for numerical computing, with special facilities for ordinary differential equation-solving (ODE-solving) and curve-fitting (non-linear regression.) It provides more than thirty command types and more than 450 built-in functions from the areas of elementary mathematics, transcendental functions, probability and statistics, linear algebra, optimization, cluster analysis, combinatorics, numeric input/output, and graphics.
The usual low-level functions, e.g. sine, cosine, log, etc., are present, as well as functions performing more complex analyses, such as singular value decomposition, discrete Fourier transforms, solution of differential equation systems, non-parametric modeling and constrained non-linear optimization, among many others. A substantial collection of statistically-oriented functions, such as most common distribution functions and their inverses, are included, as well as robust graph creation features, supporting graphing of exceptionally complex functions.
Many software packages can integrate ordinary differential equations numerically, but MLAB is one of the very few that also can adjust parameters and initial conditions. MLAB is equally facile at handling curve fitting, where the adjustments are linear or, as is the case with most differential
equation models, nonlinear.
MLAB is widely used in academic and research institutions as well as industrial enterprises.
History
MLAB was originally developed at the National Institute of Health in the late 1970s using Stanford's SAIL running on Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-10 computers. The creators of MLAB founded Civilized Software, Inc. in 1985 and expanded MLAB in the late 1980s and early 1990s through the application of Small Business Innovation Research grants.
MLAB was first adopted by researchers and practitioners in biochemistry, but quickly spread to many other domains. It is now also used in education, in particular the teaching of linear algebra, numerical analysis, and is popular amongst scientists involved in chemical kinetics analysis and modeling and compartmental modeling in pharmacological (including pharmacokinetics) and physiological research.
Syntax
The MLAB application is built around the MLAB scripting language. Common usage of the MLAB application involves using the Command Window as an interactive mathematical or executing text (script) files containing MLAB code.
There are dozens of MLAB commands and hundreds of MLAB functions. In essence, MLAB is an interpreter for a high-level mathe |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Phantom%20of%20the%20Opera%20%28pinball%29 | The Phantom of the Opera is a pinball machine released by Data East in 1990. The game is based on the 1910 French novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, but not based on the 1986 musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber or movie of the same name, although released around the same time. The game was designed by Joe Kaminkow and Ed Cebula.
Description
The game does not have very deep rules. Game rules are similar to other 1980s pinball machines. There are no modes to complete, the goal of the game is to try to score as much as possible.
Gameplay features include the Catwalk Ramp, a Magic Mirror, a Trap Door and an Organ that opens for Multi-Ball. The Phantom can be unmasked to reveal his true face on the backglass.
The art, music and lightshow give the pinball machine its fitting atmosphere. The Music uses Data East's stereo system. The richly detailed playfield was produced by art designer Paul Faris. Faris' daughter is the model for the character, Christine Daaé, on the backglass. Faris and his wife were previously the models for the backglass of the pinball machine Lost World.
Digital versions
The Phantom of the Opera is available as a licensed table in The Pinball Arcade and Stern Pinball Arcade. Data East logos are removed due to licensing issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20encoding | Double encoding is the act of encoding data twice in a row using the same encoding scheme. It is usually used as an attack technique to bypass authorization schemes or security filters that intercept user input. In double encoding attacks against security filters, characters of the payload that are treated as illegal by those filters are replaced with their double-encoded form.
Double URI-encoding is a special type of double encoding in which data is URI-encoded twice in a row. It has been used to bypass authorization schemes and security filters against code injection, directory traversal, cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection.
Description
In double encoding, data is encoded twice in a row using the same encoding scheme, that is, double-encoded form of data X is Encode(Encode(X)) where Encode is an encoding function.
Double encoding is usually used as an attack technique to bypass authorization schemes or security filters that intercept user input. In double encoding attacks against security filters, characters of the payload that are treated as illegal by those filters are replaced with their double-encoded form. Security filters might treat data X and its encoded form as illegal. However, it is still possible for Encode(Encode(X)), which is the double-encoded form of data X, to not to be treated as illegal by security filters and hence pass through them, but later on, the target system might use the double-decoded form of Encode(Encode(X)), which is X, something that the filters would have been treated as illegal.
Double URI-encoding
Double URI-encoding, also referred to as double percent-encoding, is a special type of double encoding in which data is URI-encoded twice in a row. In other words, double-URI-encoded form of data X is URI-encode(URI-encode(X)). For example for calculating double-URI-encoded form of <, first < is URI-encoded as %3C which then in turn is URI-encoded as %253C, that is, double-URI-encode(<) = URI-encode(URI-encode(<)) = URI-encode(%3C) = %253C. As another example, for calculating double-URI-encoded form of ../, first ../ is URI-encoded as %2E%2E%2F which then in turn is URI-encoded as %252E%252E%252F, that is, double-URI-encode(../) = URI-encode(URI-encode(../)) = URI-encode(%2E%2E%2F) = %252E%252E%252F.
Double URI-encoding is usually used as an attack technique against web applications and web browsers to bypass authorization schemes and security filters that intercept user input. For example because . and its URI-encoded form %2E are used in some directory traversal attacks, they are usually treated as illegal by security filters. However, it is still possible for %252E, which is the double-URI-encoded form of ., to not to be treated as illegal by security filters and hence pass through them, but later on, when the target system is building the path related to the directory traversal attack it might use the double-URI-decoded form of %252E, which is ., something that the filters would have been treated |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic%20Air%20%28Norway%29 | Arctic Air AS was a Norwegian airline which operated between 1996 and 2003. From 2000 to 2003 it built up a network of scheduled services, in part based on public service obligation (PSO) contracts, flying with two Dornier 228. The company was based in Alta.
Initially Arctic Air operated two Cessna 206 seaplanes, mostly in Kautokeino. After unexpectedly winning the 2000 to 2003 PSO tender to link Kirkenes to Vardø, the airline leased its first Dornier 228. A year later services were also introduced to Alta, Lakselv as was an international route to Murmansk. From 2002 the airline won a PSO contract to link Fagernes to Oslo. After losing both contracts in the 2003 tender, the company was liquidated.
History
Arctic Air was established by eleven businessmen in Kautokeino. It registered its two first aircraft, both Cessna 206s, in May 1996. The company began flying general aviation charter missions, with reindeer husbandry and the power company Statkraft as major customers. Operations were summer-only, and based out of various lakes in the municipality.
In 1999 the airline chose to bid for public service obligation contracts with the Ministry of Transport and Communications, bidding for the routes from Tromsø to Sørkjosen, from Tromsø to Hasvik and Hammerfest, as well as from Kirkenes to Vardø. The latter route was won in September, after Arctic Air had bid 37 million kroner for the route. The incumbent, Widerøe, had bid 102 million. The contract, effective 1 April 2000 through 31 March 2003, was awarded in September. At the time the airline lacked suitable aircraft to operate the routes. Arctic Air was met with local opposition. While flown by Widerøe, Vardø Airport, Svartnes had been connected to a network westwards as well as to Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen. With Arctic Air operating, only a feeder service would be provided. By December the population was generally satisfied with the thrice-daily service, and patronage had increased by fifteen percent since they had taken over.
The airline started with two new commercial services from 2 April 2001, to better utilize their aircraft. The first was an onward connection from Vardø to Alta Airport, the second was an thrice-weekly international service from Kirkenes to Murmansk Airport. The route connected with flights at Kirkenes onwards to Tromsø, Alta and Oslo. From July Finnair started a thrice-weekly service from Helsinki via Rovaniemi to Lakselv. Arctic Air joined forces through establishing a feeder service to Lakselv Airport, Banak from Vardø, corresponding with the Finnair flights.
The company had a revenue of 20 million kroner in 2001, of which 13 million was state subsidies. At the time it employed twelve people. By November 2001 the airline was discussing the possibility of bidding for and taking over large or the entirety of the Finnmark network. The airline claimed it would be able to provide cheaper and more frequent services than Widerøe through using smaller Dornier 228 aircraft. T |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parareal | Parareal is a parallel algorithm from numerical analysis and used for the solution of initial value problems.
It was introduced in 2001 by Lions, Maday and Turinici. Since then, it has become one of the most widely studied parallel-in-time integration methods.
Parallel-in-time integration methods
In contrast to e.g. Runge-Kutta or multi-step methods, some of the computations in Parareal can be performed in parallel and Parareal is therefore one example of a parallel-in-time integration method. While historically most efforts to parallelize the numerical solution of partial differential equations focussed on the spatial discretization, in view of the challenges from exascale computing, parallel methods for temporal discretization have been identified as a possible way to increase concurrency in numerical software.
Because Parareal computes the numerical solution for multiple time steps in parallel, it is categorized as a parallel across the steps method.
This is in contrast to approaches using parallelism across the method like parallel Runge-Kutta or extrapolation methods, where independent stages can be computed in parallel or parallel across the system methods like waveform relaxation.
History
Parareal can be derived as both a multigrid method in time method or as multiple shooting along the time axis.
Both ideas, multigrid in time as well as adopting multiple shooting for time integration, go back to the 1980s and 1990s.
Parareal is a widely studied method and has been used and modified for a range of different applications.
Ideas to parallelize the solution of initial value problems go back even further: the first paper proposing a parallel-in-time integration method appeared in 1964.
Algorithm
The Problem
The goal is to solve an initial value problem of the form
The right hand side is assumed to be a smooth (possibly nonlinear) function. It can also correspond to the spatial discretization of a partial differential equation in a method of lines approach. We wish to solve this problem on a temporal mesh of equally spaced points , where and . Carrying out this discretisation we obtain a partitioned time interval consisting of time slices for .
The objective is to calculate numerical approximations to the exact solution using a serial time-stepping method (e.g. Runge-Kutta) that has high numerical accuracy (and therefore high computational cost). We refer to this method as the fine solver , which propagates an initial value at time to a terminal value at time . The goal is to calculate the solution (with high numerical accuracy) using such that we obtain
The problem with this (and the reason for attempting to solve in parallel in the first place) solution is that it is computationally infeasible to calculate in real-time.
How it works
Instead of using a single processor to solve the initial value problem (as is done with classical time-stepping methods), Parareal makes use of processors. The aim to is to use processors |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerer%20%28pinball%29 | Sorcerer is a 1985 pinball machine designed by Mark Ritchie and released by Williams Electronics. The table is placed in the "Internet Pinball Data Base Top 100 Rated Electronic Pinball Machines" chart.
Description
The artwork of Sorcerer is very colorful with orange and light yellow on a black cabinet. The backglass and playfield featuring the sorcerer and dragons. Several playfield plastics are extensions of the playfield art. The slingshot plastics represents a further part of the sorcerer's beard and the sorcerer's hand is depicted by the plastic over the targets. This design creates a 3D effect. The Sorcerer's eyes on the back plastic panel glow and flash along with the gameplay. When the player earns an extra ball, a bell rings that sounds like an old fire alarm.
Gameplay
Scoring is evenly split around the playfield. The drop targets can be hit with the third flipper. The top rollovers advance the multiplier. The playfield contains six standup targets that along with the 2 spinners can be hit to spell SORCERER.
A ramp along top left locks a first ball. A second ball up the ramp releases the first and second balls for 2-ball play that has a multiplier for the duration of multiball play.
Digital versions
Sorcerer is available in the Wii, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and the Xbox 360 versions of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. The table was later added to Pinball Hall of Fames successor The Pinball Arcade on February 2, 2018 and taken down from all possible digital stores on June 30, 2018 due to WMS license expiration. Sorcerer was also included in the arcade game UltraPin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenos%20Aires%20Underground%20rolling%20stock | The Buenos Aires Underground has one of the most diverse metro fleets in the world, and has had some of the oldest models in operation on any network. The network began with a relatively standardised fleet, but throughout its over 100-year-long history, it has seen numerous purchases which have created cases where some lines operate numerous models. Recently there have been increased efforts to modernise and standardise the fleets, with large purchases from China CNR Corporation and Alstom.
History
Before the nationalisation of the railways and the formation of Subterráneos de Buenos Aires, the original lines of Buenos Aires Underground were built by three private companies, and each bought different rolling stock for their lines.
Line A was inaugurated in 1913 by the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company (AATC)—then owned by the Belgian company Sofina—who owned the vast majority of the city's tramways at that point. Two companies competed to provide the rolling stock of the line: the Belgian La Brugeoise et Nivelles and British United Electric Car Company, with the Belgian company ultimately winning the contract. However 4 UEC Preston cars had been sent to the country and these more extravagant cars were kept in service on the line until the 1970s and were often used on special occasions. The Brugeoise cars made up the entirety of the rolling stock of the line until 2013, retiring just before their 100-year anniversary.
The Argentine company Lacroze Hermanos built Line B, originally designed to be an underground continuation of the Buenos Aires Central Tramway (today the Urquiza Line). The line has historically been significantly different from the others in terms of rolling stock since it uses third rail electrification instead of overhead lines and as such, it has been the most troublesome to standardise and has often had the most diverse rolling stock, with four different models circulating on its tracks at one point. Originally served by Metropolitan-Cammell cars from its opening in 1930, these were later reinforced by cars from the Osgood Bradley Car Company in the 1950s. Later on, two attempts were made by the state-owned Fabricaciones Militares to replace the rolling stock of the line, however these were never produced in enough numbers to replace all the cars on the line. It was only in 1996 that the line was standardised again when cars were bought second-hand from the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line in order to replace all the cars. This was also the first time in the history of the network that cars were bought second-hand.
Lines C, D and E were all built by the Hispanic-Argentine Company for Public Works and Finances (CHADOPyF) in the 1930s and 1940s and were thus the most straightforward. All the lines used German Siemens-Schuckert Orenstein & Koppel rolling stock from their inaugurations, though during the 1960s Spanish-built CAF-General Electrica Española were added to the lines. The CAF-GEE cars were designed to be highly compatible |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klang%20Valley%20Integrated%20Transit%20System | The Klang Valley Integrated Transit System is an integrated transport network that primarily serves the area of Klang Valley and Greater Kuala Lumpur. The system currently consists of 12 fully operating rail lines; two commuter rail lines, six rapid transit lines, one bus rapid transit line and two airport rail links to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (and its low-cost terminal klia2) and another one to the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.
History
Initially, different competing companies operated the various transit systems and had developed these rail and bus systems separately and at various times.
As a result, many of these systems did not integrate well with the others, making transferring from system to system inconvenient for passengers.
Aggravated by Kuala Lumpur's poor pedestrian network, moving from one rail system to another often required a lot of walking, stair-climbing, and escalator-use.
Integrated tickets for all rail-based systems called the cards allow passengers to transfer seamlessly across all stations and lines in the Klang Valley region.
Integration
Since 28 November 2011, the paid areas of shared stations along the Rapid KL system for the , , and , as well as the from 1 March 2012, have been integrated physically under a common ticketing system, effectively making those stations interchange stations. This enables commuters to transfer between lines the interchange stations without buying a new ticket each time, provided that they do not exit the paid area. This is currently possible at the , , , and stations. With the addition of the latest rapid transit line on 17 July 2017, the , the integrated system has been expanded to , -, and stations, and to station with the launching of the .
The Touch 'n Go stored value fare card is accepted as a mode of payment on the Rapid Bus system, LRT, MRT, BRT, and monorail lines, as well as the KTM Komuter, easing the hassle of buying separate tickets for travelling on different networks. However, the fare integration for the Rapid KL system does not include other rail systems such as KTM Komuter and Express Rail Link.
Rapid Rail, the operator of the LRT, MRT, monorail, BRT lines, and Rapid Bus (which covers about 70% of the Klang Valley's bus network), has launched a daily bus ticket which costs as low as RM1, and an integrated transit daily pass which can be used on both its rail and bus services costing RM7.

The organisation's funding is received from the Australian Government, state and territory governments, as well as contributions from partner universities. As the only organisation in Australia dedicated exclusively to housing, homelessness, cities and related urban research, AHURI is a unique venture. Through its national network of university partners, AHURI undertakes research that supports policy development at all levels of government, assists industry in improving practice and informs the broader community. In 2022, AHURI had nine research partners across Australia.
Reports
Through its National Housing Research Program (NHRP), AHURI publishes around 25 policy research reports each year.
The developing National Cities Research Program produces several reports each year, and AHURI also publishes a range of commissioned reports for clients including governments, community sector organisations, and industry.
All NHRP and NCRP reports are freely available, and published along with plain language summaries, policy implication summaries and diverse dissemination and engagement outputs.
Governance
The AHURI Board consists of 10 directors: four independent directors, one of whom serves as the independent Chair. One director is appointed from the Australian Government, two from state and territory governments, and two from participating universities. The Managing Director is an ex officio appointment to the Board.
Government Partners
The National Housing Research Program is funded through multi-lateral agreements involving the Australian Government and all state and territory governments. The NHRP funding agreements are typically 3 year agreements, and have been renewed continuously since 1999 in recognition of the impact of AHURI's work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber%20threat%20intelligence | Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is knowledge, skills and experience-based information concerning the occurrence and assessment of both cyber and physical threats and threat actors that is intended to help mitigate potential attacks and harmful events occurring in cyberspace. Cyber threat intelligence sources include open source intelligence, social media intelligence, human Intelligence, technical intelligence, device log files, forensically acquired data or intelligence from the internet traffic and data derived for the deep and dark web.
In recent years, threat intelligence has become a crucial part of companies' cyber security strategy since it allows companies to be more proactive in their approach and determine which threats represent the greatest risks to a business. This puts companies on a more proactive front - actively trying to find their vulnerabilities and prevents hacks before they happen. This method is gaining importance in recent years since, as IBM estimates, the most common method companies are hack is via threat exploitation (47% of all attacks).
Threat vulnerabilities have risen in recent years also due to the COVID-19 pandemic and more people working from home - which makes companies' data more vulnerable. Due to the growing threats on one hand, and the growing sophistication needed for threat intelligence, many companies have opted in recent years to outsource their threat intelligence activities to a managed security provider (MSSP).
Process - intelligence cycle
The process of developing cyber threat intelligence is a circular and continuous process, known as the intelligence cycle, which is composed of five phases, carried out by intelligence teams to provide to leadership relevant and convenient intelligence to reduce danger and uncertainty.
The five phases are: 1) planning and direction; 2) collection; 3) processing; 4) analysis; 5) dissemination.
In planning and directing, the customer of the intelligence product requests intelligence on a specific topic or objective. Then, once directed by the client, the second phase begins, collection, which involves accessing the raw information that will be required to produce the finished intelligence product. Since information is not intelligence, it must be transformed and therefore must go through the processing and analysis phases: in the processing (or pre-analytical phase) the raw information is filtered and prepared for analysis through a series of techniques (decryption, language translation, data reduction, etc.); In the analysis phase, organized information is transformed into intelligence. Finally, the dissemination phase, in which the newly selected threat intelligence is sent to the various users for their use.
Types
There are three overarching, but not categorical - classes of cyber threat intelligence: 1) tactical; 2) operational; 3) strategic. These classes are fundamental to building a comprehensive threat assessment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed%20Posner | Edward Charles "Ed" Posner (August 10, 1933 – June 15, 1993) was an American information theorist and neural network researcher who became chief technologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and founded the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems.
Education and career
Posner was born on August 10, 1933, in Brooklyn, and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1950; at Stuyvesant, one of his close friends was mathematician Paul Cohen.
He took only two years to complete his undergraduate studies in physics at the University of Chicago, graduating in 1952, and he then switched to mathematics for a master's degree in 1953 and a PhD in 1957. While a graduate student, he also visited Bell Labs, and later claimed that he had been assigned to the desk there that had formerly been Harry Nyquist's. His doctoral thesis, supervised by Irving Kaplansky, was on the subject of ring theory and entitled Differentiably Simple Rings; at only 26 pages long, it held the record for the shortest doctoral thesis at the university.
After finishing his studies, he became a mathematics instructor at the University of Wisconsin and then an assistant professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College. In 1961, Solomon W. Golomb hired him to lead the Information Processing Group at JPL. He led the group for 10 years and then, after a sequence of positions in higher management, he became chief technologist in JPL's Office of Telecommunications and Data Acquisition in 1982. He also held lecturer and visiting faculty positions in the applied mathematics and electrical engineering departments of the California Institute of Technology beginning in 1970.
He died after being hit by a truck while bicycling to work on June 15, 1993.
Contributions
In ring theory, Posner is the namesake of Posner's theorem, stating that certain tensor products of algebras with the fields of fractions of their centers are central simple algebras.
Posner's research in information theory and coding theory was applied in the design of the NASA Deep Space Network, used for the communications between spacecraft and their base stations on Earth. He also studied communications networks and cellular telephone switching systems, and was an advocate for basic research in the US space program.
Beginning in the early 1980s, Posner founded the study of neural networks at JPL and Caltech, and helped create the interdisciplinary graduate program in Computation and Neural Systems at Caltech. He also helped found the annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, served as general chair of the first conference in 1987, and chaired its oversight body, the NIPS Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel | A unikernel is a computer program statically linked with the operating system code on which it depends. Unikernels are built with a specialized compiler that identifies the operating system services that a program uses and links it with one or more library operating systems that provide them. Such a program requires no separate operating system and can run instead as the guest of a hypervisor.
The unikernel architecture builds on concepts developed by Exokernel and Nemesis in the late 1990s.
Design
In a library operating system, protection boundaries are pushed to the lowest hardware layers, resulting in:
a set of libraries that implement mechanisms such as those needed to drive hardware or talk network protocols;
a set of policies that enforce access control and isolation in the application layer.
The library OS architecture has several advantages and disadvantages compared with conventional OS designs. One of the advantages is that since there is only a single address space, there is no need for repeated privilege transitions to move data between user space and kernel space. Therefore, a library OS can provide improved performance by allowing direct access to hardware without having to transition between user mode and kernel mode (on a traditional kernel this transition consists of a single TRAP instruction and is not the same as a context switch). Performance gains may be realised by elimination of the need to copy data between user space and kernel space, although this is also possible with Zero-copy device drivers in traditional operating systems.
A disadvantage is that because there is no separation, trying to run multiple applications side by side in a library OS, but with strong resource isolation, can become complex. In addition, device drivers are required for the specific hardware the library OS runs on. Since hardware is rapidly changing this creates the burden of regularly rewriting drivers to remain up to date.
OS virtualization can overcome some of these drawbacks on commodity hardware. A modern hypervisor provides virtual machines with CPU time and strongly isolated virtual devices. A library OS running as a virtual machine only needs to implement drivers for these stable virtual hardware devices and can depend on the hypervisor to drive the real physical hardware. However, protocol libraries are still needed to replace the services of a traditional operating system. Creating these protocol libraries is where the bulk of the work lies when implementing a modern library OS. Additionally, reliance on a hypervisor may reintroduce performance overheads when switching between the unikernel and hypervisor, and when passing data to and from hypervisor virtual devices.
By reducing the amount of code deployed, unikernels necessarily reduce the likely attack surface and therefore have improved security properties.
An example unikernel-based messaging client has around 4% the size of the equivalent code bases using Linux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiotherapy%20Evidence%20Database | The Physiotherapy Evidence Database, abbreviated PEDro, is a bibliographic database containing randomized trials, clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews in the field of physical therapy. It was established in October 1999 and is maintained by the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy at the George Institute for Global Health. As of August 2009, there were more than 15,000 entries indexed on PEDro.
Scale
The website also uses a scale, known as the PEDro scale, to assess the quality of randomized trials included in the database. Trials with higher PEDro scores are displayed first in PEDro search results. A 2010 study found preliminary evidence that this scale, as well as eight of its ten individual items, had validity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat%20Bulaga%21%20Indonesia | Eat Bulaga! Indonesia is an Indonesian variety and game show produced by Philippine television production company Television and Production Exponents, Inc., which is aired by SCTV Network in Indonesia. It is the Indonesian franchise of Philippines' longest-running noon-time variety show, Eat Bulaga!. Its first incarnation premiered on July 16, 2012 and ended on April 3, 2014.
History
Malou Choa-Fagar, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE), revealed that SCTV first approached them.
Harsiwi Achmad, program director, had been watching the show on YouTube before she moved to SCTV. Achmad felt that the program was entertaining and educational, and that it can spread positive values and get close with the community. Feeling that it would work well with Indonesian audience, Achmad contacted TAPE's marketing creative service advisor, Gerry C. Guzman, who became a way for the SCTV and Filipino executives to negotiate. Kebon Jeruk, director of programs and production at Studio Penta SCTV, also became interested, saying that he wants the program to be as successful as the original. The situation had initially shocked and surprised Filipino television executives. The SCTV executives then went to the Philippines to spend time watch the show and getting a chance to see how it works.
Surya Utama, known by his stage name "Uya Kuya" (literally "Boss Uya", counterpart to Eat Bulaga!'s "Bossing Vic"), a magician and comedian from Bandung, would become the show's main host. His wife, Astrid Khairunnisha, also known by "Astrid Kuya" also co-hosted the show.
The show began simply as Eat Bulaga! Indonesia, retaining much of the original segments and games played on the Philippine TV show, and premiered on SCTV on July 16, 2012. On July 21, 2012, Filipino viewers got a glimpse of the show's opening performance, while the hosts in the Philippines simultaneously performed the beginning to the show.
Throughout its first year, the show kept in close touch with its original Philippine counterpart. The hosts made many occasional trips to the Philippines to perform with the hosts of the original show, including a segment where the Indonesian hosts teamed up with their Filipino counterparts to participate in a special segment of "Pinoy Henyo: International Version". On December 17, 2012, Filipino singer Christian Bautista made a guest appearance on the show. That same day, Uya Kuya also announced that the show would be airing five days a week instead of three, due to positive feedback and requests from fans. In January 2013, Leo Consul, a Filipino host of the Indonesian show at the time, visited his homeland to perform in front of the Filipino fans, before leaving the show later in the year for undisclosed reasons. Consul's departure from the show triggered an emotional response from the other hosts where Bianca Liza, one of the co-hosts at the time, was seen in tears on-stage. Despite this, Consul's rise to b |

ENSSER organizes conferences on a variety of topics, with participants from governmental institutions, Universities and organisations.
Activities
According to the official website, ENSSER brings together independent scientific expertise to develop public-good knowledge for the critical assessment of existing and emerging technologies. The group has been described as a participant in "disputes about the regulation of GM crops". Commentators have observed that the ENSSER "jumped into the middle" of the GMO debate by "pointing out that there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMOs". However, other commentators have described the group's publications as the "disingenuous" work of "anti-biotech luminaries". In 2013, the ENSSER defended Gilles-Eric Seralini after his study linking genetically modified food to cancer was retracted.
Members
ENSSER members include Hans Rudolf Herren, winner of the 1995 World Food Prize and the 2013 Right Livelihood Award, Angela Hilbeck, senior scientist at the Institute of Integrative Biology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. David Schubert, Professor and Director of cellular neurobiology at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Brian Wynne, Professor of Science Studies and Research Director of the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change (CSEC) at the University of Lancaster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall%20of%20Names | The Hall of Names is a repository for the names of millions of Shoah victims at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem. These names also appear in the Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names on the Yad Vashem website. Most of the names are commemorated on Pages of Testimony, with the rest gleaned from Holocaust-era lists, such as those of ghetto and concentration camp prisoners, Jews whose property was confiscated by Nazi Germany and its allies, Jews deported on transports, victims of death marches, etc.
History
In 1968, a "Names Room" was established at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, in which original Pages of Testimony were stored in alphabetical order. In 1977, the Hall of Names building was opened at Yad Vashem. In the 1980s, Yad Vashem copied onto microfilm some one million Pages of Testimony in order to improve their accessibility to the general public as well as to provide backup for the Pages. With the beginning of the large wave of immigration of Jews from the Former Soviet Union in the 1990s, the rate at which Pages of Testimony were submitted doubled to some 3,000 per month. In 1990, Yad Vashem began to glean names of Holocaust victims from deportation lists as well as camp and ghetto prisoner records, prepared by the Nazis and their allies. The 1990s also saw the launch of the project to digitize the names of Holocaust victims found in the Hall of Names. During the Names Recovery Campaign in 1999 under the auspices of Israeli President Ezer Weizman, 380,000 Pages of Testimony were submitted in one year alone, and another 70,000 in the year 2000. That same year, a digitized database of Holocaust victims' names was created, and in 2004 the Central Database of Holocaust Victims' Names was launched on the Yad Vashem website.
With the dedication of the new Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem in 2005, the Hall of Names was moved to that location. As of 2015, more than 4.5 million names of Holocaust victims are stored in the Hall of Names.
Structure
The Hall of Names consists of a circular upper walkway for visitors. The space above and below the walkway is constructed of two 10-meter cones facing away from each other and connected at their widest point. The upper cone bears copies of some 600 photographs and fragments of Pages of Testimony of Holocaust victims. The downward facing cone reaches into the mountain bedrock, at the base of which a pool of water reflects the images in the upper cone.
Opposite to the entrance of the Hall of Names is an opening leading to a computer center for searching for names of Holocaust victims. On the walls surrounding the walkway are shelves bearing files in which the original Pages of Testimony are stored. These Pages are not accessible to the general public, but may be viewed in the computer center or online at the Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names on the Yad Vashem website.

Despite holding a local monopoly in commercial television to the prefecture, commercial television stations from the Kansai region are easily available.
History
Founding on radio
After the establishment of the "Three Radio Laws" (Radio Law, Broadcasting Law, and Radio Supervisory Committee Establishment Law) in 1950, Japan established a system where public broadcasting (NHK) and commercial broadcasting coexisted. Uesaki Ryujiro and other Tokushima businessmen established Shikoku Broadcasting in August of the same year and applied for a private broadcasting license In April of the following year, Shikoku Broadcasting obtained a preparatory license for that aim. On March 31, 1952, Shikoku Broadcasting held its founding general meeting with a capital of 25 million yen and 50,000 shares issued. At the same time, Shikoku Broadcasting decided to build a headquarters building in Shinmachi, Tokushima City. In June of the same year, Shikoku Broadcasting officially obtained a broadcasting license after successfully launching test broadcasts.
On July 1, 1952, Shikoku Broadcasting, branded as JR (as in JOJR) officially started broadcasting, becoming the first private broadcasting station in Shikoku. In the second year of broadcasting, Shikoku Broadcasting achieved a balance of payments and established a branch in Wakayama. In order to reduce program production costs and increase advertising revenue, Shikoku Broadcasting also formed a Shikoku Broadcasting Alliance with Kagawa Radio (now Nishinippon Broadcasting) this year to simulcast radio programs. With the improvement of the operating conditions of the two stations and the improvement of the program self-control ability, the alliance was dissolved in 1956. In 1954, the president of Shikoku Broadcasting was changed to Maekawa Shizuo of Tokushima Shimbun. This year, Shikoku Broadcasting also increased the transmission power to 10 kilowatts (500 watts at night), which expanded the signal coverage area by 30%. The Shikoku Broadcasting Wakayama Branch set up a recording studio in 1956, making the Wakayama Branch not only an advertising business base, but also a base to produce its own programs, which gained local audiences. When the Nankai Maru shipwreck occurred in 1958 , Shikoku Broadcasting quickly mobilized employees other than journalists to report on the accident, for which they were awarded the President's Award by the Federation of Democratic People's Liberation.
Monochrome TV
On August 18, 1955, Shikoku Broadcasting applied for a TV broadcasting license, and obtained a preliminary license in October 1957. At the end of 1958, Shikoku Broadcasting decided that the TV department would join the Nippon Television Network, and obtained the official broadcasting license on March 23 of the followin |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo%20Touboul | Shlomo Touboul () is an Israeli business executive and inventor who has founded several companies including Finjan and Shany (or Shani) Computers. He is currently the President and CEO of Illusive Networks, a startup from the Israel-based incubator, Team8.
Career
Touboul's career began in earnest with the founding of Shani (or Shany) Computers in 1985. The Israeli company and its California subsidiary were sold to Intel in 1994 for between $15 million and $20 million. This sale marked the first time a United States corporation had come to Israel to purchase a startup. He went on to work for Intel as a manager in their Network Management Business Unit. In 1996, he founded Finjan Software Inc. The company designed and patented antivirus software and anti-spyware software. In 1996 and 1997, the company received $18 million in investor funding.
In 2000, Touboul left Finjan to start Runway, Israel's first internet incubator, and Runway Telecom Partners, an Israeli telecommunications venture fund co-founded with Alcatel. Alcatel invested $15 million in Runway Telecom in 2001. Also in 2001, Finjan encountered financial difficulties and Touboul returned to the company at the request of investor, David Cowan of Bessemer Venture Partners. As CEO of Finjan, Touboul often spoke about the risks of advanced spyware and the security gaps in programs and programming languages like JavaScript. He also invented new technologies, including static and dynamic code behavior analysis and behavior based blocking technology. Touboul invented over 30 patents in the domain of behavior-based Anti Malware introducing an alternative to old signature-based Anti Malware. Touboul helped aggressively market Finjan's proactive defense technology, and McAfee incorporated that technology into their products. Touboul also pushed for more funding. Finjan secured $8.5 million in funding from an investor group led by Benchmark Capital Israel, Israel Seed Partners, and Bessemer Venture Partners. This brought the total amount of funding to $31.5 million over the course of 6 years. Touboul helped Finjan earn an additional $10 million in funding in 2004 from investors including Cisco Systems, Bessemer Venture Partners, Israel Seed Partners, and Benchmark Capital.
After licensing certain Finjan patents to Microsoft and securing additional $10M investment, Finjan terminated Touboul in July 2005. He started Yoggie Security Systems 3 weeks after his departure from Finjan. This new company designed hardware to solve security issues for individuals using laptops or mobile devices on a public and private networks. The hardware also kept security tasks separate from the computer's main CPU ("off loading"), implementing the first security dedicated coprocessor for networked based computers and devices. Touboul invented 8 patents for Yoggie. Among the Yoggie products are the Yoggie Gatekeeper Pico and the Gatekeeper Card. Within the first year of its operation, Yoggie received $1.8 million in in |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusive%20Networks | Illusive Networks is a cybersecurity firm headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel and New York. The company produces technology that stops cyber attackers from moving laterally inside networks by finding and eliminating errant credentials and connections, planting deceptive information about given network's resources, emulating devices, and deploying high interactivity decoys. Network administrators are alerted when cyber attackers use security deceptions in an attempt to exploit the network. Illusive Networks is the first company launched by the Tel Aviv-based incubator, Team8. In June 2015, Illusive Networks received $5 million in Series A funding from Team8. To date, it has raised over $54M.
History
Illusive Networks was founded in 2014 by Team8 and Ofer Israeli. In June 2015, Illusive received $5 million in Series A funding from cybersecurity incubator Team8. Team8 is funded by a group of investors, including Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's venture capital fund, Innovation Endeavors, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Marker LLC, Bessemer Venture Partners, and others. While in Israel at the 5th Annual International Cybersecurity Conference in 2015, Schmidt paid a visit to Illusive Networks' headquarters on June 9 during the company's official launch. The company was named one of Gartner's Cool Vendors in Security and Intelligence for 2015.
After receiving $5 million in Series A funding back in June 2015, Illusive Networks announced on October 20, 2015, their Series B round of $22 million by New Enterprise Associates.
In 2018, Illusive expanded its product offering beyond deception through the Attack Surface Manager solution, which continuously analyzes and removes unnecessary credentials and pathways that allow attackers to escalate privileges and move laterally. In that same year, Illusive also unveiled Attack Intelligence System, which delivers human readable on-demand telemetry about current attacker activities to speed investigation and remediation. Along with the deception solution Attack Detection System, these three solutions make up the Active Defense Suite that seeks to paralyze attackers and eradicate in-network threats.
In 2020, Illusive raised another round of funding from new investors alongside existing investors, including Spring Lake Equity Partners, Marker, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Innovation Endeavors, Cisco, Microsoft, and Citi
In 2022, Illusive expanded its product line again by introducing Identity Risk Management. The product offers visibility into the vulnerable identities sprawled across an organization's endpoints and servers, then eliminate them or deploys deception-based detection techniques as a compensating control to stop attackers.
On December 12, 2022 Proofpoint, Inc. announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Illusive in a deal expected to close in January 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy%20Bear | Fancy Bear (also known as APT28 (by Mandiant), Pawn Storm, Sofacy Group (by Kaspersky), Sednit, Tsar Team (by FireEye) and STRONTIUM (by Microsoft)) is a Russian cyber espionage group. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has said with a medium level of confidence that it is associated with the Russian military intelligence agency GRU. The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office as well as security firms SecureWorks, ThreatConnect, and Mandiant, have also said the group is sponsored by the Russian government. In 2018, an indictment by the United States Special Counsel identified Fancy Bear as GRU Unit 26165. This refers to its unified Military Unit Number of the Russian army regiments. The headquarters of Fancy Bear and the entire military unit, which reportedly specializes in state-sponsored cyberattacks and decryption of hacked data, were targeted by Ukrainian drones on July 24, 2023, the rooftop on one of the buildings collapsed as a result of the explosion.
Fancy Bear is classified by FireEye as an advanced persistent threat. Among other things, it uses zero-day exploits, spear phishing and malware to compromise targets. The group promotes the political interests of the Russian government, and is known for hacking Democratic National Committee emails to attempt to influence the outcome of the United States 2016 presidential elections.
The name "Fancy Bear" comes from a coding system security researcher Dmitri Alperovitch uses to identify hackers.
Likely operating since the mid-2000s, Fancy Bear's methods are consistent with the capabilities of state actors. The group targets government, military, and security organizations, especially Transcaucasian and NATO-aligned states. Fancy Bear is thought to be responsible for cyber attacks on the German parliament, the Norwegian parliament, the French television station TV5Monde, the White House, NATO, the Democratic National Committee, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the campaign of French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron.
Discovery and security reports
Trend Micro designated the actors behind the Sofacy malware as Operation Pawn Storm on October 22, 2014. The name was due to the group's use of "two or more connected tools/tactics to attack a specific target similar to the chess strategy," known as pawn storm.
Network security firm FireEye released a detailed report on Fancy Bear in October 2014. The report designated the group as "Advanced Persistent Threat 28" (APT28) and described how the hacking group used zero-day exploits of the Microsoft Windows operating system and Adobe Flash. The report found operational details indicating that the source is a "government sponsor based in Moscow". Evidence collected by FireEye suggested that Fancy Bear's malware was compiled primarily in a Russian-language build environment and occurred mainly during work hours paralleling Moscow's time zone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy%20Clapp | Judith A. Clapp (born 1930) is a computer scientist who began her career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and subsequently moved to the Lincoln Laboratory and then to MITRE, where she was a leader in the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) military project, including the development of the SAGE computer.
Early life and education
Clapp was born in 1930 and was raised in Long Island, New York. She received her bachelor's degree in math and physics in 1951 from Smith College and her master's degree in applied science (which she described as the closest match to computer science available at the time) in 1952 from Radcliffe College, then a women's affiliate of Harvard University.
Career
After graduating from Radcliffe Clapp began work at MIT, the only woman among the early programmers of the Whirlwind I, the first real-time computer. The Whirlwind, a vacuum tube computer, had originally been commissioned by the United States Navy but was subsequently financed by the Air Force for the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) project. Clapp continued to work on the project after its transfer to the Lincoln Laboratory and later to the MITRE Corporation, eventually becoming a Senior Principal Software Systems Engineer at MITRE. After the SAGE project Clapp continued to work in management at MITRE and participated in the Department of Defense Working Group that led to the development of the Ada programming language.
Legacy
Clapp's work is regarded as important groundwork for the development of software engineering as a discipline. She was involved in early professional organizations for women in computing and is recognized as a pioneer among women in the field. Clapp received an Achievement Award from the Society of Women Engineers in 2001. In 2005, she received the Smith College Medal. Her work and thoughts on working on the SAGE project were also discussed in the book Recoding Gender: Women's Changing Participation in Computing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment%20management | Deployment is the realisation of an application, or execution of a plan, idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, or policy.
Industry-specific definitions
Computer science
In computer science, a deployment is a realisation of a technical specification or algorithm as a program, software component, or other computer system through computer programming and deployment. Many implementations may exist for a given specification or standard. For example, web browsers contain implementations of World Wide Web Consortium-recommended specifications, and software development tools contain deployment of programming languages.
A special case occurs in object-oriented programming, when a concrete class deploys an interface; in this case the concrete class is an deployment of the interface and it includes methods which are deployments of those methods specified by the interface.
Information technology (IT)
In the IT Industry, deployment refers to post-sales process of guiding a client from purchase to use of the software or hardware that was purchased. This includes requirements analysis, scope analysis, customisations, systems integrations, user policies, user training and delivery. These steps are often overseen by a project manager using project management methodologies. Software Deployment involves several professionals that are relatively new to the knowledge based economy such as business analysts, software implementation specialists, solutions architects, and project managers.
To deploy a system successfully, a large number of inter-related tasks need to be carried out in an appropriate sequence. Utilising a well-proven implementation methodology and enlisting professional advice can help but often it is the number of tasks, poor planning and inadequate resourcing that causes problems with an deployment project, rather than any of the tasks being particularly difficult. Similarly with the cultural issues it is often the lack of adequate consultation and two-way communication that inhibits achievement of the desired results.
Political science
In political science, deployment refers to the carrying out of public policy. Legislatures pass laws that are then carried out by public servants working in bureaucratic agencies. This process consists of rule-making, rule-administration and rule-adjudication. Factors impacting deployment include the legislative intent, the administrative capacity of the deploying bureaucracy, interest group activity and opposition, and executive support.
Social and health sciences
"Deployment is defined as a specified set of activities designed to put into practice an activity or program of known dimensions. According to this definition, deployment processes are purposeful and are described in sufficient detail such that independent observers can detect the presence and strength of the "specific set of activities" related to implementation. In addition, the activity or program being deployed is described |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality%20in%20Germany | According to data from the World Bank, Germany has the 14th lowest Gini coefficient in the world. However, since the mid-1990s, income, gender and social inequality in Germany has been rising.
History
Many of the inequalities that Germany is experiencing today can be traced back to the reunification of East and West Germany. It was during this time that Eastern German manufacturing and social constructs lagged behind that of the west. East German policies mainly reflected that of a communist nation since they were being funded and governed by a communist Russian regime. As a result of these policies and regulatory practices, manufacturing in the east struggled during reunification, contributing to the current geographical divide. The gap in manufacturing technology between East and West Germany led to the demise of many East German businesses, leaving many eastern Germans unemployed.
Income and wealth inequality
Since the 1980s, income inequality in Germany has been rising. According to the German think-tank DIW, a typical citizen in the upper 1% of earnings in Germany holds a personal wealth of at least 800,000 euros ($1.09 million), whilst over 25% of all adults have either no wealth or negative wealth due to debt. Germany's Gini coefficient was 0.78 in 2012, compared with 0.68 in France, 0.61 in Italy and 0.45 in Slovakia. A geographical inequality has also been found between the areas of Germany previously known as East Germany and West Germany; on average, an adult in former West Germany has assets worth 94,000 Euros, as compared to a typical adult in the former communist East Germany with just over 40,000 Euros.
Gender inequality
According to Germany's Federal Statistical Office, average gross hourly earnings for women in 2008 were 23.2 percent lower than that of their male counterparts. The average employed female employee in Germany earns 23.1% less than the average male employee, in comparison to 16.4% across the EU. There is also gender division between some industries, with most people in the manufacturing industry in Germany being men and most people in health and social work being women.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam%20Spy | Steam Spy is a website created by Sergey Galyonkin and launched in April 2015. The site uses an application programming interface (API) to the Steam software distribution service owned by Valve to estimate the number of sales of software titles offered on the service. Estimates are made based on the API polling user profiles from Steam to determine what software titles (primarily video games) they own and using statistics to estimate overall sales. Software developers have reported that Galyonkin's algorithms can provide sales numbers that are accurate to within 10%, though Galyonkin cautions against using his estimates in financial projections and other business-critical decisions. Due to changes in Steam's privacy features in April 2018, Galyonkin had anticipated he would need to shut down the service due to the inability to estimate accurate numbers from other sources, but later that month revealed a new algorithm using publicly available data, which, while having a larger number of outliers, he still believes has reasonable accuracy for use.
Concept and history
Tracking of video game sales is of strong interest to the video game industry, but does not have the robustness of other industries, such as television with the Nielsen ratings system or music with Billboard charts. Though Circana does track retail and digital sales of video games, access to this data requires payment and it does not typically break down distribution of sales on various platforms. Sites like VGChartz have attempted to collect more detailed sales figures based on external data, but there have been reported problems with how this data is aggregated. Valve's Steam client is the largest outlet for digital sales of games for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms. Normally, sales of video games and other software offered by Steam are kept confidential between Valve and the publishers and developers of the titles; developers and publishers are free to offer these numbers to the public if they desired. Valve does offer statistics on the most bought and played games, but otherwise does not provide any sales figures publicly. Galyonkin noted that whereas the film industry receives funding from financing companies which are more open about sharing their financial results, funding within the video game comes from a variety of non-traditional sources, leading to the market being coy to report on the sales of a game.
The idea for Steam Spy originally came from a similar approach used by Kyle Orland and the website Ars Technica for their "Steam Gauge" feature starting in April 2014. Steam Gauge uses the Steam API to access publicly available user profiles to obtain a list of games that that user owns. At the time of its creation there were over 170 million Steam accounts, making the task of polling the entire list of games impractical. Instead, they opted to poll between 80,000 and 90,000 each day as to collect the game lists, and then used sampling statistics to estimate |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jail%20Break%20%28Steven%20Universe%29 | "Jail Break" is the 49th episode of the first season of American animated television series Steven Universe, which premiered on March 12, 2015 on Cartoon Network. The episode was written and storyboarded by Joe Johnston, Jeff Liu, and series creator Rebecca Sugar. The episode acts as a continuation of the arc started in the previous episode, "The Return", and the two aired alongside each other as a two-part special. Both episodes were watched by 1.697 million viewers.
The episode covers Steven's attempt to save the Gems from the captivity of Peridot and Jasper, two Homeworld Gems leading a scouting mission on Earth. The episode reveals that Garnet is a fusion, and introduces the characters Ruby and Sapphire, Garnet's component Gems. The romantic relationship between Ruby and Sapphire has been interpreted one of the ways in which Steven Universe provides LGBT representation.
Plot
Having been knocked unconscious by Jasper (Kimberly Brooks) in the previous episode, Steven (Zach Callison) awakens in a prison cell on the Gem warship. The door of the cell is a force field which can neutralize the strength of any Gem; but Steven is able to pass through it unharmed. While searching for the Crystal Gems, Steven comes across an unfamiliar Gem, Ruby (Charlyne Yi), and disrupts the force field with his body so she can escape. He then helps her search for her companion Sapphire (Erica Luttrell) by following the sound of her singing. Steven and Ruby encounter Lapis Lazuli (Jennifer Paz), but she insists that Steven leave her in her cell to avoid exacerbating their current problems. As Steven and Lapis talk, Ruby runs off in impatience.
Steven finds Sapphire and frees her from her cell. Soon, Ruby and Sapphire meet up again; as they happily reunite, to Steven's surprise, Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet (Estelle). She sends Steven to find Amethyst (Michaela Dietz) and Pearl (Deedee Magno Hall) and free them from their cells. After he leaves, Jasper confronts Garnet. As they fight, Garnet sings the song "Stronger Than You", celebrating the power of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship. Meanwhile, Steven, Amethyst and Pearl overpower Peridot (Shelby Rabara) and take control of the ship. Garnet and Jasper's battle destroys the ship's power core, causing the ship to crash-land onto Earth as Peridot flees in an escape pod.
After the ship hits Earth's surface, the Crystal Gems, Jasper, and Lapis emerge from the wreckage. Jasper convinces Lapis to fuse with her to defeat the Crystal Gems. However, once they fuse into Malachite, Lapis uses her water powers to drag the fusion into the ocean and subdue Jasper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeyRaider | KeyRaider is a computer malware that affects jailbroken Apple iOS devices, specifically iPhones, and allows criminals to steal users' login and password information, as well as to lock the devices and demand a ransom to unlock them. It was discovered by researchers from Palo Alto Networks and WeiPhone in August 2015, and is believed to have led to more than 225,000 people having their login and password information being stolen, making it, according to cybersecurity columnist, Joseph Steinberg, "one of the most damaging pieces of malware ever discovered in the Apple universe." The malware was originally found on a Chinese website, but has spread to 18 countries including the United States. KeyRaider affects only iPhones that have been jailbroken.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locked%20Up%20%28TV%20series%29 | Locked Up, originally known as Vis a Vis (), is a Spanish serial drama television series produced by Globomedia, initially for Spanish Network Antena 3 and later for Fox Spain. It premiered on 20 April 2015. The series focuses on Macarena Ferreiro, who is sent to prison for fiscal offenses and goes on to depict prison life and the corruption of law-enforcement bodies.
One year after Antena 3 cancelled the show, Fox Spain announced they had picked up the series for a third season, which premiered on 23 April 2018. It became the most watched paid TV in its timeslot. A fourth and final series premiered on 3 December 2018. Netflix also bought global streaming rights for the show.
Following the show's initial cancellation, several cast members moved on to other projects, resulting in major cast changes in seasons 3 and 4. Production also moved to a different filming location, as the previous studio became the set of another Álex Pina show, Money Heist. Maggie Civantos, who played the series' main character in the first two seasons, had her role reduced due to her commitment to another show, Cable Girls. Najwa Nimri, Berta Vázquez, María Isabel Díaz Lago, Marta Aledo, Laura Buena and Alba Flores returned as main cast members.
A spin-off entitled Vis a vis: El oasis was released in 2020, and focuses on Macarena and Zulema, and is the last installment of the series.
Plot
Macarena Ferreiro Molina is a Spanish woman who falls in love with her boss and commits embezzlement. She is accused of four tax crimes and consequently imprisoned at the Cruz del Sur Prison as a precautionary measure with a high bail set.
In prison, Macarena learns that to avoid projected seven-year sentence she will likely receive if convicted depends on changing, evolving and becoming a different person. To pay the bail, her family outside searches for a large sum of money hidden somewhere.
Series overview

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20Network%20Install%20Environment | The Open Network Install Environment ( ONIE ) is an open-source "install environment", that acts as an enhanced boot loader utilizing facilities in a Linux/BusyBox environment. This small Linux operating system allows end-users and channel partners to install a network operating system as part of data center provisioning, similar to the way servers are provisioned with an operating system of choice.
ONIE enables network switch hardware suppliers, distributors and resellers to manage their operations based on a small number of hardware stock keeping unit (SKUs). This in turn creates economies of scale in manufacturing, distribution, stocking, and return merchandise authorization (RMA) enabling an ecosystem of both network hardware and operating system alternatives.
ONIE was created by Cumulus Networks (now a part of NVIDIA) in 2012 before it was adopted by the Open Compute Project in 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal%20Mind | Paranormal Mind () is a 2015 Hong Kong supernatural crime thriller series produced by Hong Kong Television Network. The first episode premiered on 3 September 2015. It is the last series to air for HKTV.
Plot
A supernatural-themed detective series – however the ‘supernatural’ won't be the traditional ghosts and spirits-theme that audiences are used to seeing. Rather, the drama uses ‘super’ scientific concepts as well as realistic methods to investigate a variety of mysterious, unusual cases. The series will revolve around the main character Sun Gei Yuen (Felix Wong) -- a former high-ranking police inspector who, after being traumatized by the mysterious death of his son, acquires the hidden ability to capture and enter other people's subconscious, as he deeply believes that his son was actually murdered in the ‘inner confines of the subconscious’! At the same time, he starts to display signs of having a split personality and works hard to study about the ‘hidden subconscious’ in the hopes of one day finding his son's killer.
Each main character in this series will have some sort of ‘hidden ability’ that makes them different from other people. Even though each of them will have a ‘regrettable flaw’ and perhaps even be viewed by society as being ‘abnormal’ or ‘weird’, this does not affect their self-esteem. In fact, they are able to turn this ‘regrettable flaw’ into a ‘hidden ability’ and use it to help them solve many mysterious cases.

In 2012, the hospital network was featured in National Geographic Channel's documentary, "Taiwan's Medical Miracle".
History
Chang Gung Medical Foundation was founded by Formosa Plastics Group founder Wang Yung-ching along with his brother Wang Yung-tsai. The primary purpose is to provide healthcare to the Taiwanese public. In March 1973, the foundation completed its public registration and opened its first hospital, Taipei Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, in 1976. Its second and largest hospital, the Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, opened two years later in 1978. In 2005, the hospital network made a record RMB¥1.3 billion in profit.
In 2019, Chang Gung Medical Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with hospitals in Malaysia expanding the foundation into the region. As of 2019 there are eight branches in the hospital network.
Controversies
In June 2017, Hospital chairwoman Diana Wang, returned to Taiwan to deal with the resignation of 22 emergency room doctors in the network after two emergency-room supervisors were dismissed rumored to be due to budget issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Kalyeserye%20episodes | Kalyeserye was a 30-minute to 1-hour soap opera parody aired live as part of the "Juan for All, All for Juan" segment of Philippine daytime variety show Eat Bulaga! on GMA Network and worldwide on GMA Pinoy TV featuring the popular loveteam of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, known as AlDub, as well as the hosts of the said segment, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros, portraying various characters. Eat Bulaga! hosts also serve as narrators and commentators. The term is coined by eat Bulaga host Joey De Leon which means "street series" because it is like a TV series where the setting is on streets in a remote barangay in the Philippines. It officially premiered on July 16, 2015, when Yaya Dub (played by Maine Mendoza) meets Alden for the first time. The segment concluded on December 17, 2016, after 400 episodes.
The show follows the love story of Yaya Dub and Alden. Yaya Dub's employer and adoptive grandmother, Lola Nidora, is initially against the couple's budding romance. Lola Nidora then reveals her Book of Secrets/Secret Diary which contains various reasons for her disapproval. The appearance of other characters like the luxurious Frankie Arenolli and the socialite DuhRizz make things even more complicated for the amorous pair. As the story unfolds, characters from Lola Nidora and Yaya Dub's past are revealed as a part of their backstory. Lola Nidora turns out to be one of the triplet children of the Zobeyala Family. Also, during the course of the series, Alden must prove his trustworthiness and love for Yaya Dub by overcoming several obstacles. For the most part, Lola Nidora provides these challenges to Alden while she imparts to Yaya the values of "love at the right time" and other words of wisdom. According to Mon Bandril, a CSMA member, the series won the Catholic Social Media Awards "because of the inspiring message they give during Kalyeserye [about] virtues, values, chivalry, modesty, morality, respect for elders, etc. This is the kind [of show] that we don't see on TV anymore."
Episodes are numbered by days (e.g. Day 1, Day 2, etc.), and sometimes comprise multiple segments from the Eat Bulaga! variety show in which the characters interact. Hashtags were introduced shortly after Day 1, however, multiple tags were posted regarding episodes. Around July 30, GMA Network and Eat Bulaga! began posting a unique hashtag for each Kalyeserye episode. On September 25, GMA Network acknowledged a Twitter fan group called the trendsetters to supply the official hashtag for their episodes. They have a group chat to discuss which tag to apply to the episodes. Each episode corresponds with a quote or two relating to the episode's theme and notable episodes contain Lola Nidora's words of wisdom; only pertinent ones are listed along with the summaries below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dato%20Capital | Dato Capital is an online database of business information about companies and directors registered in the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Spain, Panama, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and British Virgin Islands.
The website publishes basic company and director information but complete reports are priced. The amount of available information about a company varies depending on the country of incorporation, ranging from financial data (UK companies) to just company name and type (Cayman Islands and BVI). Basic information about directors includes approximate figures of the number and location of the companies involved and an extract of the appointment list. Not all the countries have director data.
The parent company who owns the database and website is Netamo Systems SL, incorporated in Spain.
The company received attention in October 2014 when it published lists of deleted director profile links under the Right to be forgotten directive.
History
According to the parent company, it was incorporated in 2001; started working in business applications in 2003, and website was launched in 2007. The first proof of datocapital.com existence dates to December 2008, and it shows a Spanish version with only Spanish companies. Domain was registered in September 2006. The first press mention of UK companies was in March 2014, and Gibraltar and Panama appear in another interview of March 2015. Latter countries were introduced during 2015.
Business Model
The company acts an information reseller, collecting data from public sources such as gazettes and official corporate registries; and private sources such as banks and credit agencies. Some of the data is published in the company website with an advertising model, and the rest of the data is sold in a paid content model. There is no registration available.
Controversy with data aggregators
The role of data aggregators has been criticized since 1995 with privacy, and data accuracy as main concerns.
Most negative views against data aggregators are based on the use of personal email addresses and details, but since the company publishes company director names, it may be considered personal data as well.
Right to be forgotten
Starting June 2014, Google started removing links to director profiles of the United Kingdom and Spain on the website, and the company published a daily updated list with deleted links for each country as a response.
The company claims that business information is exempted from privacy laws, and that their users have the right to access business information all across the world.
An article by Roger Parloff was published in Fortune Magazine covering the story, citing 110 removed links, 64 from UK directors and 56 from Spanish directors (in September 2015, the website lists 174 links, 100 from the UK and 74 from Spain ).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuakeML | The Quake Markup Language (QuakeML) is a flexible, extensible and modular XML representation of seismological data (e.g. epicenter, hypocenter, magnitude) which is intended to cover a broad range of fields of application in modern seismology.
The flexible approach of QuakeML allows further extensions of the standard in order to represent waveform data, macroseismic information, probability density functions, slip distributions, shake maps, and others.
QuakeML is an open standard and is developed by a distributed team in a transparent collaborative manner.
Development
QuakeML is developed in parallel with a UML representation of its data model. This allows an elaborate software development strategy which uses the UML class model together with a custom UML profile. The XML Schema (XSD) description is created automatically from the UML model with the help of tagged values, which describe the mapping from UML class attributes to XML representation.
The UML/XMI description can also be used as a basis for automated creation of a class library using code generators. Suitable programming languages are, e.g., Python, C++, and Java. In this approach, writing and reading QuakeML documents is equivalent to serializing/deserializing QuakeML objects to/from their XML representation. A further possibility would be the serialization/deserialization to/from SQL for persistent storage in a relational database.
The QuakeML language definition is supplemented by a concept to provide resource metadata and facilitate metadata exchange between distributed data providers. For that purpose, QuakeML proposes a URI-based format for unique, location-independent identifiers of seismological resources which are assigned by approved naming authorities. In a later development stage, QuakeML will provide a RDF vocabulary for resource metadata description, covering the resource's identity, curation, content, temporal availability, data quality, and associated services. QuakeML proposes to set up a network of registry institutions which offer web services for resolving resource identifiers into corresponding RDF/XML metadata descriptions, and additionally provide means for resource discovery by offering services for searches against resource metadata.
Version 1.2
Version 1.2 is the latest stable version QuakeML. Schemas and other documentation for version 1.2 can be found here. This is the version that is used in results of event queries to International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) web services and is supported by data centers around the world, such as the European Seismic Portal.
Version 2.0
QuakeML 2.0 will be the next major version. QuakeML up to version 1.2 covered (only) a basic seismic event description, whereas from v2.0 many new thematic packages will be available, and are currently under development.
Currently, the following packages are under development with new first-level elements (child elements of quakeml):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilary%20Kahn | Hilary J. Kahn (1943–2007) was a South African British computer scientist who spent most of her career as a professor at the University of Manchester, where she worked on computer-aided design and information modelling. Kahn participated in the development of the Manchester MU5 computer. Later she became involved in standards development and was both the chair of the Technical Experts Group and a member of the Steering Committee for the development of the EDIF (Electronic Design Interchange Format) standard. Kahn retired from Manchester in 2006 and died in 2007.
Early life and education
Kahn was born in 1943 in Cape Town, South Africa and moved in 1960 to England; she said later that she did so to pursue her education and escape the politics of her native country.
She attended the University of London and studied classics, after which she attended a post-graduate diploma course in computing at the Newcastle University, where she was first exposed to working with the English Electric KDF9 computer and programming in ALGOL. She subsequently worked as a programmer at English Electric.
Career and research
Kahn joined the Computer Science Department at the University of Manchester in 1967, appointed as an assistant lecturer based on her ability to teach COBOL. She has been cited as an example of how women with non-traditional backgrounds could enter early academic computer science by offering unusual specialised skills.
Although Kahn never pursued a PhD, she was a faculty member who supervised a number of PhD students; during her tenure she started the computer-aided design (CAD) group at Manchester, worked on the Manchester MU5 computer, and was extensively involved in standards development, most notably for the EDIF project. She collaborated with Tom Kilburn and wrote published several obituaries on him.
Kahn was also active in preserving the history of early computing at Manchester and in 1998 organised a large-scale celebration Computer 50 for the 50th anniversary of the Manchester Baby, the first stored-program computer, which was completed in 1948.
Kahn retired from her faculty position in 2006.
Personal life
Kahn's husband Brian Napper was also a Manchester faculty member. The couple had one child, a daughter, born in 1977. Kahn died in November 2007.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water%20usage%20effectiveness | Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) is a sustainability metric created by The Green Grid in 2011 to attempt to measure the amount of water used by datacenters to cool their IT assets.
To calculate simple WUE, a data center manager divides the annual site water usage in liters by the IT equipment energy usage in kilowatt hours (Kwh). Water usage includes water used for cooling, regulating humidity and producing electricity on-site. More complex WUE calculations are available from The Green Grid website.

Object Design was founded by several former Symbolics employees, including Daniel Weinreb, and was based in Burlington, Massachusetts.
Its ObjectStore object-oriented database shipped in 1990.
In 1994, ODI was listed as No. 1 on Inc. magazine's list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. A major early customer was Telstra , which used it to map toll-free telephone numbers to an end point close to the caller, for example a local taxi company or chain restaurant. ODI's went public in 1996, and was listed on NASDAQ as ODIS.
In 1999, ODI shipped its eXcelon XML application development environment, which it marketed as an "integration server".
In January 2000, ODI was renamed eXcelon and focused its marketing on XML integration software.
In 2002, ODI was acquired by Progress Software, which continued to develop it. In 2013, Progress Software sold the ObjectStore product line (among others) to Aurea Software, Inc., a newly formed operating subsidiary of ESW Capital, which in turn is the investment arm of Trilogy Enterprises. As part of the deal, ObjectStore moved to a separate operating subsidiary of ESW Capital.

Plot
In the town of Greenpatch, a courageous young koala named Blinky Bill tells a story about his father, Mr. Bill while embarking on a journey across the wild, and dangerous Australian outback in the hope of finding him.
Blinky's dad had created their home of Greenpatch, where every animal could feel safe and live in peace. Blinky has been influenced by the legend of his father, who is on an adventure to the Sea of White Dragons. When Mayor Cranklepot attempts to dominate Greenpatch and become the ruler, Blinky realises that he must go in search of his father. Throughout his adventure he befriends a girl koala named Nutsy, a lizard named Jacko, and a few other creatures who assist Blinky on his quest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrey%20LRT | The Surrey Light Rail system was a planned network in Surrey, British Columbia containing one light rail line radiating from the SkyTrain station and transit hub. First proposed in 2012 by Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, construction on the project was planned to start in 2019 with an opening date set for 2024. At the inauguration of the new Surrey City Council on November 5, 2018, and after a change of municipal leadership, the newly installed council unanimously voted to "indefinitely suspend" the project in favour of an extension of the SkyTrain Expo Line to Langley Centre.
Timeline
This project—among others, including the extension of the Millennium Line west to Arbutus—was included as one of the initiatives in need of funding that was proposed to be raised by the imposition of a regional sales tax which was put forward for voter approval in a 2015 plebiscite. The electorate voted against the tax increase to fund regional projects and provide a long term sustainable funding model; however, Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said, after the sales tax was voted down, that the city still planned to build the light rail project as it was the main component in her election campaign.
The Surrey–Newton–Guildford Line was expected to be in service by 2024 while the Surrey–Langley Line on the Fraser Highway would be completed at a later date. A report outlining the economic benefits of the project was produced by a consulting firm in May 2015.
In 2017, the federal government budget included funding contributions to this project. Prior to the provincial election in 2017, the BC Liberals confirmed they would match the federal contribution if they were re-elected.
On March 16, 2018, the provincial government approved the construction of this project. Construction was slated to begin in 2019 and is expected to be completed by 2024. The LRT line will run from Guildford through Surrey Central and terminate in Newton with 11 new stops.
On September 4, 2018, during a visit to Surrey, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau reiterated the Federal government's financial commitment to helping to build the route. On November 5, 2018, during newly elected Mayor Doug McCallum's first council meeting, the council voted unanimously to cancel the LRT line in favour of extending the existing SkyTrain line to Langley. The plan was supported by the regional Mayors' Council on November 15.
LRT network
Surrey–Newton–Guildford Line
Phase 1 of the Surrey LRT was the Surrey–Newton–Guildford Line which was to replace the 96 B-Line express bus service once completed and will connect Surrey City Centre with Newton Town Centre via King George Boulevard and Guildford Town Centre via 104 Avenue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20Goolnik | Thomas Goolnik is a person formerly associated with the company TLD Networks. He has achieved notoriety in a battle over the European "Right To Be Forgotten" (RTBF), in particular whether current articles written about the RTBF are also subject to that regulation.
TLD Network complaint and settlement
TLD Networks was an alternative domain name network set up by Thomas Goolnik in 2001. On February 28, 2002, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in Chicago, issued an injunction that suspended the registration of certain web sites that were registered with TLD Networks. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) had filed the complaint, alleging that TLD Network Ltd, TLD Networks, Quantum Management Ltd, TBS Industries Ltd and Thomas Goolnik advertised and sold alternative DNS root domains, i.e. having top-level domains not approved by ICANN. The story of the original indictment was reported by The New York Times in an article on March 12, 2002. Regulators alleged that the defendants raised $1 million in registration fees during their nine months of operation.
A settlement was reached with the FTC in 2002 which, among other things, barred TLD Networks and Thomas Goolnik "from making misrepresentations about the usability of domain names or about the nature of any product or service they sell over the Internet."
In November 2003 the FTC took additional action, filing an amended complaint adding Barclays Bank PLC as a post-judgment relief defendant in the case.
RTBF requests and responses
In September 2014, Goolnik was successful in getting articles removed under the right to be forgotten. The UK Government Information Commission Office also ruled in Goolnik's favour. The New York Times was notified by Google that five articles had been removed from its search results to comply with a European "Right to be Forgotten" request. The paper published an article describing the five items removed Three were on matters of small public importance (two wedding notices and a paid death notice); one was a favorable review of a theater production. The remaining article, and the one receiving most of the attention, was the 2002 story on the injunction against TLD Network, et al.
On October 6, 2014, the web site Techdirt wrote a brief commentary on the 2014 Times article. Techdirt and the article's author, Mike Masnick, are frequent critics of the Right to be Forgotten.
On August 25, 2015, Techdirt reported that its article commenting on the 2014 New York Times article had similarly been removed from European searches due to a Right to be Forgotten request. While there is no proof, Masnick surmises that there is a "decent likelihood" that the request came from Goolnik.
On September 4, 2015, when the August 25 article was also removed from Google search in Europe. The article points out that the EU states that an RTBF request should be evaluated to see if the information is "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer rele |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadaland | Canadaland is a Canadian company that operates a news site and a network of podcasts. It was founded by Jesse Brown in 2013. Canadaland has produced podcasts on Canadian media, art and culture, cooking, medicine, and politics. Podcasts include the original Canadaland podcast, Commons, Cool Mules, The White Saviors, and Thunder Bay.
Podcast production has been funded partly through advertisements, and since 2014, through the crowdfunding site, Patreon.
A year after the podcast was launched, it was attracting about 10,000 listeners every week. By late 2018, Canadaland's five podcasts reached 100,000 weekly listeners. In 2020, the podcasts were downloaded over 9 million times in 2020, making it one of the most popular podcasts in Canada.
In May 2023, Karyn Pugliese was named the new editor in chief of Canadaland after Brown announced that he was stepping down from the role.
Podcasts
Canadaland podcast was launched by Jesse Brown in the autumn of 2013. By 2015, it had become a "podcast network and a news organization with staff". The original Canadaland podcast covered predominantly Canadian media and media criticism. By September 2018, the Canadaland podcast network also included Commons, a politics podcast Imposter, an art and art criticism podcast; Oppo, a politics podcast; Taste Buds, a food and food critic podcast; and Wag the Doug, an ad-hoc, irregularly scheduled podcast about Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Canadaland (original) podcast
Brown launched his podcast and blog called Canadaland in October 2013. In an article in the Times Colonist, Mike Devlin described Brown as the "controversial host of the popular Canadaland podcast and crowdfunded news site." Devlin wrote that Brown was "polarizing...mostly because of his irreverent critiques and smart-ass attitude" whose "media and cultural critiques" are handled in a "gloves-off manner." According to Devlin, Brown became "something of a bad boy in Ontario" for attacking Canadian media "sacred cows" such as The Globe and Mail. In his 2014 article in The Walrus, Brown described how guest journalists were reluctant to appear on the program until his "first big scoop", less than six months after the podcast was launched. Brown, and Canadaland, by extension, earned "credentials", and "journalistic credibility" with stories such as the February 2014 "scoop" on The National anchor Peter Mansbridge.
Since the fall of 2013, Canadaland "has spilled secrets about newsroom misdeeds, broken stories about TV journalists taking money from groups they cover, and challenged reporting that [Jesse Brown] he believe[d] has fallen short." This included the February 2014 story about Peter Mansbridge, who had been paid $28,000 to speak at a December 2012 Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) event. This raised conflict of interest concerns as Mansbridge had accepted money from an entity with a vested interest in the oil sands issue, a topic Mansbridge regularly reported on from a national platform.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual%20quantum%20computation | Counterfactual quantum computation is a method of inferring the result of a computation without actually running a quantum computer otherwise capable of actively performing that computation.
Conceptual origin
Physicists Graeme Mitchison and Richard Jozsa introduced the notion of counterfactual computing as an application of quantum computing, founded on the concepts of counterfactual definiteness, on a re-interpretation of the Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester thought experiment, and making theoretical use of the phenomenon of interaction-free measurement.
After seeing a talk on counterfactual computation by Jozsa at the Isaac Newton Institute, Keith Bowden of the Theoretical Physics Research Unit at Birkbeck College, University of London published a paper in 1997 describing a digital computer that could be counterfactually interrogated to calculate whether a light beam would fail to pass through a maze as an example of this idea.
More recently the idea of counterfactual quantum communication has been proposed and demonstrated.
Outline of the method
The quantum computer may be physically implemented in arbitrary ways but, to date, the common apparatus considered features a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The quantum computer is set in a superposition of "not running" and "running" states by means such as the quantum Zeno effect. Those state histories are quantum interfered. After many repetitions of very rapid projective measurements, the "not running" state evolves to a final value imprinted into the properties of the quantum computer. Measuring that value allows for learning the result of some types of computations such as Grover's algorithm even though the result was derived from the non-running state of the quantum computer.
Definition
The original formulation of counterfactual quantum computation stated that a set m of measurement outcomes is a counterfactual outcome if there is only one history associated to m and that history contains only "off" (non-running) states, and there is only a single possible computational output associated to m.
A refined definition of counterfactual computation expressed in procedures and conditions is: (i) Identify and label all histories (quantum paths), with as many labels as needed, which lead to the same set m of measurement outcomes, and (ii) coherently superpose all possible histories. (iii) After cancelling the terms (if any) whose complex amplitudes together add to zero, the set m of measurement outcomes is a counterfactual outcome if (iv) there are no terms left with the computer-running label in their history labels, and (v) there is only a single possible computer output associated to m.
Mirror array
In 1997, after discussions with Abner Shimony and Richard Jozsa, and inspired by the idea of the (1993) Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester, Bowden published a paper describing a digital computer that could be counterfactually interrogated to calculate whether a photon would fail to pass through a maze of mirro |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentlemint | Gentlemint is a social networking site for sharing links, photos and videos. Registration is required for use. The site was founded by Brian McKinney and Glen Stansberry, and is managed by Brisky Business LLC.
Gentlemint is centered on the idea of finding, sharing and collecting "manly" content. Manliness is not strictly defined, but is defined by the community itself. Gentlemint has often been cited as "Pinterest for Men", but the co-founders have said that unlike Pinterest, Gentlemint is only focused on a certain subset of content.
Use
Gentlemint is a free website that requires registration to use, although registration is not limited exclusively to men. Members are able to upload links to content—known as "tacks"—through collections. These can also incorporate media such as photos, videos, and other content. In an interview in Forbes the Gentlemint co-founders clearly stated that Gentlemint does not allow nudity or objectionable content on the website. Gentlemint is often referred to as a "Pinterest for men", but the co-founders believe they're more of a compliment to Pinterest than a direct competitor, focusing only on manly content.
History
Gentlemint was started as a "hack day" project on November 26, 2011, where McKinney and Stansberry worked for 12 hours on the concept before releasing the website later that night. Nearly two months later an article on Daily Dot gave the site its first media coverage. The site has later received mainstream media coverage from Fox News, Time, Mashable, and many others

Gentlemint was included in PC Magazine Top 100 Websites of 2012

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android%20Eclair | Android Eclair is a codename of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google, the fifth operating system for Android and the second major release of Android. Eclair spans the versions 2.0.x and 2.1. Unveiled on October 26, 2009, Android Eclair builds upon the significant changes made in Android 1.6 "Android Donut". The first phone with Android Eclair was the Motorola Droid. Google ceased Android Market support for Android Eclair on June 30, 2017.
Features
User experience
The default home screen of Eclair displays a persistent Google Search bar across the top of the screen. The camera app was also redesigned with numerous new camera features, including flash support, digital zoom, scene mode, white balance, color effect and macro focus. The photo gallery app also contains basic photo editing tools. This version also included the addition of live wallpapers, allowing the animation of home-screen background images to show movement. Speech-to-text was first introduced, replacing the comma key.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android%20Donut | Android 1.6 Donut is the fourth version of the open source Android mobile operating system developed by Google. Among the more prominent features introduced with this update were added support for CDMA smartphones, additional screen sizes, a battery usage indicator, and a text-to-speech engine.
After the public release of Donut—its official dessert-themed code name, the convention employed by Google to designate major Android versions—carriers were quick to follow with its roll out to customers in the form of an over-the-air (OTA) update for compatible smartphones.
On September 27, 2021, Google announced it would no longer allow signing in on Android devices that run Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread or older, requiring Android 3.0 (on tablets) or 4.0 (phone and tablets) or higher to log in.
Features
New features introduced by Donut include the following:
Voice and text entry search enhanced to include bookmark history, contacts, and the web.
The ability for developers to include their content in search results.
Multi-lingual speech synthesis engine to allow any Android application to "speak" a string of text.
Easier searching and the ability to view app screenshots in Android Market.
Gallery, Camera and camcorder more fully integrated, with faster camera access.
The ability for users to select multiple photos for deletion.
Updated technology support for CDMA/EVDO, 802.1x, VPNs, and a text-to-speech engine.
Support for WVGA screen resolutions.
Speed improvements in searching and camera applications.
Expanded Gesture framework and a new GestureBuilder development tool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission%20zeroes | Generally, in a two-port network, for a finite input, there exists an output. However, when zero output occurs for finite input, the network is said to have 'zero-transmission'. A transmission zero is a frequency at which the transfer function of a linear two-port network has zero transmission. Transmission zeroes at zero frequency and infinite frequency may be found in high-pass filters and low-pass filters respectively. Transmission zeroes at finite, non-zero frequency may be found in Band-stop filters, elliptic filters, and Type II Chebyshev filters. Transfer functions with both zero and infinite frequency can be found in band-pass filters. A transfer function may have multiple zeroes at the same frequency. A transfer function may have any number of transmission zeroes at zero frequency and infinite frequency, but transmission zeroes at finite non-zero frequency always come in conjugate pairs.
Combination of elements may prevent input from reaching the output by 'shortening' or 'opening' all transmission path by means of serial or parallel reasonance.
For a more general overview, see: of zeros and poles.
Circuits with transmission zeroes
Generalized impedance converter
The circuit depicted to the left, based on a GIC (generalized impedance converter), has finite non-zero transmission zeroes.
State variable derived
The filter circuit to the right has the following transfer function:
This circuit produces transmission zeroes at
when R1/R4 = R7/R6.
Passive two-port
A few procedures can be followed for realizing passive two-ports with transmission zeroes.
As long as transmission zeros are located at the origin or infinity, all that is needed is the application of Cauer 1 or 2 steps to remove poles from either the admittance or the impedance at the origin or infinity. These removals can always be effected by long division.
The order in which the poles are removed is arbitrary. Except for very simple networks or when all transmission zeros occur at the origin or infinity, generally there are several possible circuits that will realize a given , depending on the order in which the poles are removed. The proportionality constants are generally different for different realizations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk%20personal%20datasets | "Bulk personal datasets" is the UK government's euphemism for datasets containing personally identifiable information on a large number of individuals, as part of mass surveillance in the United Kingdom and on citizens around the world.
The term was first used publicly in March 2015 by the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament, and is subject to significant controversy.
Other UK Government departments have programmes utilising bulk personal datasets, one of which is the care.data programme in the Department of Health and National Health Service. In health, bulk personal datasets are created as a by-product of providing direct care.
Controversy
The judicial body which oversees the intelligence services in the United Kingdom, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, ruled that the legislative framework in the United Kingdom does not permit mass surveillance and that while GCHQ collects and analyses data in bulk, it does not practice mass surveillance. A special report published by the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament also came to this view, although it found past shortcomings in oversight and said the legal framework should be simplified to improve transparency. This view is supported by independent reports from the Interception of Communications Commissioner. However, notable campaign groups and broadsheet newspapers continue to express strong views to the contrary, while others have criticised these viewpoints in turn.

The pilot was directed by Niels Arden Oplev and written by series creator and showrunner Sam Esmail. The episode aired on June 24, 2015, and was watched by approximately 1.75 million people in the U.S., the highest rating the series has ever received.
The episode was praised for its writing, music, cinematography, and performances, particularly that of Rami Malek, although it received some criticism for its similarity to David Fincher's Fight Club, a film which Esmail has stated he took inspiration from.
Plot
Elliot Alderson is a socially anxious cybersecurity engineer who works at Allsafe Security in New York City while moonlighting as a computer hacker. Elliot narrates directly to the audience, speaking to an imaginary character in his mind. He believes that he is being followed by men in suits, possibly over his actions the night before. In a flashback, Elliot engineers a child pornographer's arrest by hacking the man's computer and sending its illegal content to the police. On the train ride home, he again sees the men in suits along with a man in glasses who attempts to talk to him. The next day, Elliot reports to work at Allsafe, where he provides computer security for the very corporations he despises. At a therapy session, Elliot narrates how he has hacked his therapist, Krista, and has unsuccessfully attempted to hack her boyfriend, Michael Hansen.
Allsafe executive Gideon is preparing to host their largest client, the multi-national conglomerate E Corp (which Elliot refers to as "Evil Corp"). During their tour of the office, Elliot has a strange interaction with E Corp's Senior VP of Technology, Tyrell Wellick.
After work, Elliot snorts morphine to help him cope with his depression and loneliness and afterward takes suboxone in case he goes through withdrawal. His next door neighbor and drug dealer, Shayla, offers him molly, and they both have sex. Later that night, he gets a notification on his phone that Krista has checked in at a local restaurant with Michael. Using a ruse, Elliot manages to get Michael's telephone number. While walking home, Elliot receives a panicked phone call from Angela, his childhood friend, begging him to come back to work. At Allsafe, Elliot finds Angela and his coworker Lloyd attempting to stop a DDoS attack on E Corp's servers. Elliot realizes that they cannot stop the hack locally because of the rootkit that the hackers wrote and placed in the root directory of the server, and together with Gideon he flies to E Corp's server farm to stop the hack in person. While examining the hacked server, Elliot finds a file with a message in it for him. The message simply says, "Leave me here," and after a quick debate with himself, he leaves it on the server, but changes the file so that only he can access it.
On his train ride home from Allsafe, Elliot is once again confronted by the man in glasses, whom he |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.tor | .tor is a pseudo-top-level domain host suffix implemented by the OnioNS project, which aims to add DNS infrastructure to the Tor network enabling the selection of meaningful and globally-unique domain name for hidden services, which users can then reference from the Tor Browser.
The project aims to address the major usability issue that has been with Tor hidden services since their introduction in 2002.
Beta release of the server, client and domain name reservation tool (so called hidden service) software parts and their supporting common library were announced in the Tor developers mailing list in August 2015.
According to the description on the projects gitsite "OnioNS is a distributed, privacy-enhanced, metadata-free, and highly usable DNS for Tor hidden services"
The system is powered by the Tor network, relies on a distributed database, and provides anonymity to both operators and users.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWS%20Lambda | AWS Lambda is an event-driven, serverless computing platform provided by Amazon as a part of Amazon Web Services. It is designed to enable developers to run code without provisioning or managing servers. It executes code in response to events and automatically manages the computing resources required by that code. It was introduced on November 13, 2014.
Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, and C# (through .NET) are all officially supported . In late 2018, custom runtime support was added to AWS Lambda.
AWS Lambda supports running native Linux executables by calling them from a supported runtime, such as Node.js. For example, Haskell code can be run on Lambda.
AWS Lambda was primarily designed for tasks such as handling image and object uploads to Amazon S3, updating DynamoDB tables, responding to website clicks and reacting to sensor readings from IoT connected devices. AWS Lambda can also be used to automatically provision back-end services triggered by custom HTTP requests, and "spin down" such services when not in use to save resources. These custom HTTP requests are configured in AWS API Gateway, which can also handle authentication and authorization in conjunction with AWS Cognito.
Unlike Amazon EC2, which is priced by the hour but metered by the second, AWS Lambda is metered by rounding up to the nearest millisecond with no minimum execution time.
AWS Lambda functions are often used in association with AWS SQS queues to process asynchronous tasks in distributed architectures.
In 2019, at the AWS annual cloud computing conference (AWS re:Invent), the AWS Lambda team announced "Provisioned Concurrency", a feature that "keeps functions initialized and hyper-ready to respond in double-digit milliseconds." The Lambda team described Provisioned Concurrency as "ideal for implementing interactive services, such as web and mobile backends, latency-sensitive microservices, or synchronous APIs."
Specification
Each AWS Lambda instance is a container created from Amazon Linux AMIs (a Linux distribution related to RHEL) with 128–10240 MB of RAM (in 1 MB increments), 512 MB to 10 GB of ephemeral storage in /tmp folder, and a configurable execution time from 1 to 900 seconds. Ephemeral storage remains locally available only for the duration of the instance and is discarded after all tasks running on the instance are complete.
Since December 2020, Lambda has been capable of supporting Docker containers through ECR up to 10 GB in size.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Nics%20Oscar | is a 1987 side-scrolling run and gun arcade video game developed and published by Data East in Japan and North America. Set in the futuristic Ordio City, players assume the role of the titular mecha to fight against enemy invaders. Headed by Akira Sakuma, the title was developed by most of the same team that would later work on several projects at Data East. It received positive reception since its release from critics and has been cited as an influence for Turrican. The rights to the title are currently owned by G-Mode.
Gameplay
Psycho-Nics Oscar is a side-scrolling run and gun game where players assume the role of Oscar to fight against invaders in Ordio City. The controls consists of an eight-way joystick and three action buttons for shooting, jumping and selecting a power-up item. The weapon system is similar to Gradius, where the currently selected power-up items appears highlighted at the bottom of the screen. When a power-up item is highlighted by picking up a "N" capsule, players obtain it by pressing the power-up button but the system returns to its initial state.
Players also have access to satellite options called "P.C.U.", which provides extra firepower for Oscar. Making a full rotation of the weapon system changes the "Gun" power-up to "Armor", giving Oscar an armor to sustain enemy hits while making a full rotation twice provides Oscar a "Quick" rapid fire power-up. A checkpoint system is used to respawn a downed player at the start of a reached checkpoint before dying. Sustaining a number of enemy hits results in losing a live, as well as a penalty of lowering Oscar's power to his original state and the game is over once all lives are lost, unless players insert credits into the arcade machine to continue playing.
Development and release
Psycho-Nics Oscar was created by most of the same team that would later work on several projects at Data East. Its development was helmed by designer Akira Sakuma, who also acted as co-programmer alongside Satoshi Imamura and Takuya Haga. Artists Harumi Nomura, Jun Matsuda, Katsunori Tsujimura, Masayuki Kawaguchi, Tomo Adachi and Yutaka Kadode were in charge of creating the pixel art. The soundtrack was handled by Gamadelic members Azusa Hara, Hiroaki Yoshida, Hitomi Komatsu and Tatsuya Kiuchi. When creating the game, Sakuma thought about how a robot would operate and wanted to introduce more features but they were not implemented due to lack of time.
Psycho-Nics Oscar was first released in Japan by Data East in August 1987 and later in North America in February 1988 by the North American branch of Data East. In 1988, an album containing music from the game and other Data East titles was published exclusively in Japan by G.M.O. Records. The title has since been re-released on the AntStream service. In September 2020, M2 announced a new version of Psycho-Nics Oscar as part of their M2 ShotTriggers publishing label.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Games%20%28Kosmatka%20novel%29 | The Games is a 2012 science fiction novel by Ted Kosmatka, exploring the effects of advances in artificial intelligence and genetics on sport. It was a finalist for the 2013 Locus Award for Best First Novel.
Plot
Geneticist Silas Williams oversees U.S. selections for the Olympic Gladiator competition, an internationally sanctioned bloodsport with only one rule: no entrants may possess human DNA. To maintain America’s edge, Silas’s superior engages an experimental supercomputer to design the ultimate combatant, producing a monster unlike anything ever seen.
Reception
Publishers Weekly calls Kosmatka's debut a gripping and gory near-future thriller in which genetic engineering and jingoism prove to be a terrify-ing combination.
Booklist calls The Games very like something Michael Crichton might have written…An outstanding debut novel; expect big things from Kosmatka.
Strange Horizons considered The Games to be "the literary equivalent of a slightly above average, big-budget Hollywood blockbuster—slick, streamlined, and safely familiar", complimenting Kosmatka's prose, pacing, and "cinematic dynamism", while criticizing the worldbuilding and plot, and recommending that readers "switch off parts of (their) brain(s)" in order to maximize enjoyment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshua%20Bengio | Yoshua Bengio (born March 5, 1964) is a Canadian computer scientist, most noted for his work on artificial neural networks and deep learning. He is a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the Université de Montréal and scientific director of the Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA).
Bengio received the 2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award (often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Computing"), together with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun, for their work on deep learning. Bengio, Hinton, and LeCun are sometimes referred to as the "Godfathers of AI" and "Godfathers of Deep Learning". As of May 2023, he is the most cited computer scientist by h-index.
Early life and education
Bengio was born in France to a Jewish family who immigrated to France from Morocco, and then immigrated again to Canada. He received his Bachelor of Science degree (electrical engineering), MSc (computer science) and PhD (computer science) from McGill University.
Bengio is the brother of Samy Bengio, also an influential computer scientist working with neural networks, who is currently Senior Director of AI and ML Research at Apple.
The Bengio brothers lived in Morocco for a year during their father's military service there. His father, Carlo Bengio, was a pharmacist who wrote theatre pieces and ran a Sephardic theatrical troupe in Montreal that played Judeo-Arabic pieces. His mother, Célia Moreno, is also an artist who played in one of the major theatre scenes of Morocco that was run by Tayeb Seddiki in the 1970s.
