https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation%20technician | Automation technicians repair and maintain the computer-controlled systems and robotic devices used within industrial and commercial facilities to reduce human intervention and maximize efficiency. Their duties require knowledge of electronics, mechanics and computers. Automation technicians perform routine diagnostic checks on automated systems, monitor automated systems, isolate problems and perform repairs. If a problem occurs, the technician needs to be able to troubleshoot the issue and determine if the problem is mechanical, electrical or from the computer systems controlling the process. Once the issue has been diagnosed, the technician must repair or replace any necessary components, such as a sensor or electrical wiring. In addition to troubleshooting, Automation technicians design and service control systems ranging from electromechanical devices and systems to high-speed robotics and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). These types of systems include robotic assembly devices, conveyors, batch mixers, electrical distribution systems, and building automation systems. These machines and systems are often found within industrial and manufacturing plants, such as food processing facilities. Alternate job titles include field technician, bench technician, robotics technician, PLC technician, production support technician and maintenance technician.
Education and training
Automation technician programs integrate computer programming with mechanics, electronics and process controls, They also commonly include coursework in hydraulics, pneumatics, programmable logic controllers, electrical circuits, electrical machinery and human-machine interfaces. Typical courses include math, communications, circuits, digital devices and electrical controls. Other courses include robotics, automation, electrical motor controls, programmable logic controllers, and computer-aided design. Good math and analytic skills are essential to understand automated systems and isolate problems. In addition to programming, Automation Technicians are expected to become proficient with various instruments and hand tools for troubleshooting, such as electrical multimeters, signal analyzers, and frequency counters.
Employers generally prefer applicants who have completed an automation technician certificate or associate degree. These programs can be completed at colleges and universities in either an in-class or online format. Some colleges, such as George Brown College, offer an online automation technician program that uses simulation software, LogixSim, to complete automation lab projects and assignments.
Other relevant credentials to become an automation technician include mechatronics, robotics, and PLCs. Up-to-date credentials and certifications can enhance employment opportunities and keep technicians current with the latest technological developments. In addition to colleges and universities, other organizations and companies also offer credential programs in |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antena%207 | Antena 7 (formerly known as Antena Latina) is a television network in the Dominican Republic owned and operated by Albavision, it is headquartered in Santo Domingo. It began to broadcast on October 16, 1999 after the shutdown of the former RAHINTEL.
History
In 1999, Radio HIN Televisión (Rahintel) was in apparent decline, after years surviving without new programs and without the support of its parent company, Grupo Financiero Universal, which had gone bankrupt in the late 1980s. The animated series, which had been the last higher-class programs with high audience in Rahintel, had been withdrawn.
Due to the entire situation, Rahintel was put up for sale in 1999, being the Bonetti Group who decided to purchase channel 7. After the financial operation was completed, Rahintel quietly left the air in April 1999.
From then on, channel 7 was partially closed and with provisional programming that announced the arrival of a new channel 7, which was announced in the summer of 1999 as Antena Latina. After months of intense promotion, in which a younger approach was noted for channel 7, Antena Latina airs on October 16, 1999.
The arrival of Antena Latina introduced new technologies to Dominican television, such as the complement of the first and only virtual studio in the Caribbean area, a breakthrough for those times. In addition, its programming contained programs that gave the channel a large audience. One of the most successful programs were WWE wrestling, which was broadcast again in the country after several years of absence.
Over the years, Antena Latina has strengthened itself as a premium channel in local production. This was evidenced by productions such as El bachatón (produced by Alfonso Rodríguez), and later, in productions such as Noche de luz, Focus, Grandiosa, Rica Loquera, among many others. Operated by Albavision Antena 21 was born in 2002 with a television format which combines design and technology to provide a quality programmer for its television audience. Publishing the latest news from the Dominican Republic.
In 2012, Daniel Sarcos entered the channel, with his program Aqui se Habla Español.
In 2014, the departure of the SIN Group was announced after the acquisition made by Albavisión, acquireing the shares of Antena Latina (today Antena 7) for 47.5% after the Bonetti Group sold through Albavision due to the restructuring process. Later it also acquired Antena 21's license.
In 2016 the channel slightly changed the logo and the graphic line, changing its name to Antena 7, as well as a new slogan: Llegando a ti (Coming to you).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instabase | Instabase is a technology company headquartered in San Francisco. The company provides an Applied AI platform that can be used to understand any content such as documents, files, databases, etc., and build workflows to automate business processes.
History
Instabase was founded by Anant Bhardwaj in 2015, when he was a Ph.D. student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT, he met several influential mentors who encouraged him to pursue different research projects — one of these projects eventually became Instabase. In July 2015, he dropped out of the Ph.D. program, and moved to San Francisco to raise capital. Greylock Partners and New Enterprise Associates were the first investors in the company.
In 2017, then a 4-person company, Instabase largely remained in the stealth mode when Martin Casado from Andreessen Horowitz led the Series A. At that time, CNBC reported that Instabase is building a "social network for data".
In 2019, for the first time Instabase officially disclosed its product offerings and customers in an interview with Bloomberg TV. Bhardwaj in the interview provided details on how the software platform powered by Artificial Intelligence is helping financial services enterprises such as large banks and insurance companies build customizable workflows for automating their critical business processes such as Invoice Processing, Lending, Know your customer (KYC), and Client Onboarding.
Pivot to Deep Learning & Transformers
In 2020, Instabase heavily invested in transformer-based layout-aware language models and creating pre-trained base foundation models which its customers could fine-tune according to their specific requirements in-house. In 2021, Instabase disclosed that its AI platform has fully migrated to using transformer based deep learning architecture under the hood, and announced the launch of several pre-trained base foundation models included as part of the platform, which could be used for understanding any content as part of building workflows for automating business processes.
AI Hub
In 2023, Instabase announced that it is incorporating Large Language Models in its product with a public launch of AI Hub, a repository of AI apps focused on content understanding and a set of Generative AI based tools for building AI applications. As part of AI Hub launch, Instabase announced 3 key product offerings: AI Hub Converse, AI Hub Build, and AI Hub Apps. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Instabase founder Anant Bhardwaj also discussed their partnership with Open AI and use of their GPT 3.5 and GPT 4 models.
AI Hub Converse is essentially a chat interface on private data (files, databases, etc.) designed to help users seamlessly chat and analyze any content such as documents, files, audio, video, databases, etc. With the chat interface, users can quickly explore their content, ask questions about their content, and get the information they need.
AI Hub Build is a no-code UI based interface to help |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade%20%28video%20game%29 | Switchblade is a 1989 side-scrolling action-platform run and gun video game originally developed by Core Design and published by Gremlin Graphics in Europe for the Atari ST home computers. The first installment in the eponymous two-part series, the game is set in a dystopian future where players assume the role of Hiro from the Blade Knights as he embarks on a journey to defeat Havok, the main antagonist who broke free from his imprisonment after the sacred Fireblade was shattered into several pieces. Its gameplay consists of run and gun action mixed with platforming and exploration elements, with a main single-button configuration.
Heavily drawing inspiration from both Japanese and Western pop culture as well as various games, Switchblade was solely created by Core Design co-founder and Rick Dangerous designer Simon Phipps in his spare time, who took a year and a half to complete it while working alongside on other projects at the company. Initially released for the Atari ST platform, the title was later ported to other microcomputers and consoles including the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Amstrad GX4000, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, each with several changes and additions from the original version.
Since its original release on the Atari ST, Switchblade garnered mostly positive reception from critics who praised multiple aspects such as the anime-inspired presentation, visuals, sound design and gameplay but others criticized the game's slow pacing, controls and difficulty. Other versions of the game were met with a similarly positive response from reviewers. Its critical success would prompt the development of a sequel eight months later, Switchblade II, which was created by a new team at Gremlin Graphics without the involvement of Phipps and garnered a positive reception from the public as with the original title upon its release on Amiga, but was not widely ported to other platforms.
Gameplay
Switchblade is a side-scrolling action-platform game with run and gun elements where players assume the role of Hiro on his quest through a subterranean labyrinth in Undercity, fighting against enemies and avoiding hazards in order to reunite 16 scattered fragments of the sacred Fireblade sword and use it against Havok, an evil entity who broke free from his imprisonment.
The player guides Hiro in a flip-screen environment, where unexplored areas of the screen are obscured from view until the player character enters them. Depending on the level of charge, Hiro can use melee attacks against enemies and he can also use weapons that are found in either crates, hidden on certain rooms or suddenly appearing in the area, which are equipped into his cybernetic arm.
The player also fights bosses that are blocking the current path in order to progress further. Players can also collect letters spelling bonus and extra, which grants points and an extra life respectively. All of the actions in the game are performed different depending on the version, with one button |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node-RED | Node-RED is a flow-based, low-code development tool for visual programming developed originally by IBM for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services as part of the Internet of Things.
Node-RED provides a web browser-based flow editor, which can be used to create JavaScript functions. Elements of applications can be saved or shared for re-use. The runtime is built on Node.js. The flows created in Node-RED are stored using JSON. Since version 0.14, MQTT nodes can make properly configured TLS connections.
In 2016, IBM contributed Node-RED as an open source OpenJS Foundation project.
Node-RED projects
Flows
Node-RED Flow refers to the connection and sequencing of various input, output, and processing nodes within the Node-RED platform. Each node within a flow performs a unique and specific task. When data is transmitted to a node, the node processes it according to its designated function, before passing it on to the subsequent node in the flow. This system allows for the controlled execution and regulation of a wide range of operations, offering significant flexibility in creating real-time applications. Node-RED flows represent the main mechanism of this visual programming tool.
Adoption
Node-RED has gained significant traction in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and edge computing sectors. Node-RED's open-source nature and large community have led to the creation of over 4000 connectors supporting a wide range of data sources and protocols such as Modbus, OPC-UA, Siemens S7, and MQTT. Several PLC and IoT vendors have adopted Node-RED as a standard.
Community survey
The 2023 Node-RED Community Survey provided valuable insights into the usage patterns, preferences, and feedback from 780 individuals who are part of the Node-RED community. The survey, conducted in March 2023, revealed that Node-RED's usage extends beyond DIY home automation, with a growing trend towards professional use in a variety of industries. Over half of the respondents have been using Node-RED for over two years, indicating a well-established community. Notably, the most common messaging technologies used in conjunction with Node-RED are MQTT and HTTP, while InfluxDB emerged as the most popular database within the community. The survey also shed light on perceived barriers to adoption, pointing towards the perception of Node-RED as a proof of concept tool and the lack of certain key features. Despite these challenges, the survey highlighted a high level of satisfaction within the community, with over two-thirds of respondents rating Node-RED a 5 out of 5.
Commercial offerings
FlowFuse (former known as FlowForge) is an open-core company investing in Node-RED. Nick O’Leary, co-creator of Node-RED is FlowFuse co-founder and CTO. FlowFuse adds to Node-RED collaborative development, management of remote deployments, support for DevOps delivery pipelines and the ability to host Node-RED applications on FlowFuse Cloud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beeston%20transport%20interchange | The Beeston transport interchange, also known as Beeston Centre tram stop, is an interchange between the trams of the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) network and local buses. It is in the centre of the town of Beeston in Nottinghamshire, England. The interchange is some north-west of Beeston railway station.
The interchange is built on the site of Styring Street and an adjacent multi-storey car park, which was demolished before construction began. It is modelled on a successful design used on the Strasbourg tram system in France, and comprises two staggered island platforms. Trams serve the outer faces of the platforms, using their off-side doors, whilst the inner faces each provide three bus stands that are served by local bus services. An elongated facing crossover allows outbound trams to terminate in the inbound platform. Vehicular access to the interchange is restricted to buses and trams.
The interchange opened to buses on 12 July 2015 and has replaced the previous Beeston bus station, which was situated nearby. The tram stop within the interchange opened on 25 August 2015, along with the rest of NET's phase two.
Tram services
The stop is on line 1 of the NET, from Hucknall via Nottingham city centre to Beeston and on to Chilwell, and is shown as Beeston Town Centre on NET publicity. Trams run at frequencies that vary between 4 and 8 trams per hour, depending on the day and time of day.
Bus services
The interchange is served by the following day time bus routes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above%20Average%20Productions | Above Average Productions is an online comedy distributor and multi-channel network owned by Broadway Video. As of February 1, 2016 the network has over 8.6 million subscribers and 2.4 billion views on YouTube.
History and formation
Above Average
Above Average Productions is the digital sector of Lorne Michaels' production company, Broadway Video. Michaels previously formed Above Average Productions during the late 1970s when a series of specials were developed under a production company of the same name. However, the online comedy network that it is known as today was not founded until 2012.
In June 2012, Above Average Productions quietly launched after Broadway Video decided to help produce a Web series that Saturday Night Live writer Mike O'Brien had come up with. The series was called 7 Minutes in Heaven and featured Mike O'Brien interviewing celebrities such as Patricia Arquette and Ellen DeGeneres, among others, in a small closet. After production on the series commenced, other members of the Broadway Video family expressed their desire to contribute to the online comedy community. This eagerness from within the company, along with popularity of 7 Minutes in Heaven, prompted Broadway Video to make the decision to officially revive the Above Average brand and form the "boutique multi-channel network" that Above Average is today. The current president of Above Average is Jennifer Danielson.
In 2018, Above Average Productions along with NBC created a show for Snapchat called How Low Will You Go.
Above Average Productions is based out of New York City.
The Kicker
In October 2015, Above Average partnered with SNL co-head writer Bryan Tucker to launch a new sports comedy brand, The Kicker. The Kicker creates original sports comedy videos, articles, images, and digital content that are similar in tone to that of Above Average.
Content
Above Average Productions creates comedy shorts for mostly online audiences. The style of comedy is typically highbrow and satirical; goofier, lowbrow content is also released occasionally. The company's focus, however isn't only on producing quality content. Above Average gives up-and-coming comedians an opportunity to show off their talents, grow as performers, and to expand their professional networks. Comedians such as Broad City's Ilana Glazer and SNL's Sasheer Zamata were both featured on Above Average before moving onto larger scale television projects. Above Average also collaborates greatly within their many channels, as well as with other branches of Broadway Video, whether it be through sharing actors, writers, or directors.
Above Average has also ventured into media other than YouTube, such as Hulu, Yahoo, and international distributors, although YouTube continues to be the production company's main marketing tool. Above Average has also ventured offline in the past, creating an animated pilot for Comedy Central entitled Waco Valley, based on the network's popular web-series about a dinosaur repo |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataveillance | Dataveillance is the practice of monitoring and collecting online data as well as metadata. The word is a portmanteau of data and surveillance. Dataveillance is concerned with the continuous monitoring of users' communications and actions across various platforms. For instance, dataveillance refers to the monitoring of data resulting from credit card transactions, GPS coordinates, emails, social networks, etc. Using digital media often leaves traces of data and creates a digital footprint of our activity. Unlike sousveillance, this type of surveillance is not often known and happens discreetly. Dataveillance may involve the surveillance of groups of individuals. There exist three types of dataveillance: personal dataveillance, mass dataveillance, and facilitative mechanisms.
Unlike computer and network surveillance, which collects data from computer networks and hard drives, dataveillance monitors and collects data (and metadata) through social networks and various other online platforms. Dataveillance is not to be confused with electronic surveillance. Electronic surveillance refers to the surveillance of oral and audio systems such as wire tapping. Additionally, electronic surveillance depends on having suspects already presumed before surveillance can occur. On the other hand, dataveillance can use data to identify an individual or a group. Oftentimes, these individuals and groups have sparked some form of suspicion with their activity.
Dataveillance has significant impacts on advertising theory and practice. These impacts particularly stem from recent infrastructure and technological advancements that increase the extent to which advertisers can gain data information about consumers and their behaviours. For example, collecting data can be extended into collecting consumers’ offline behaviors and to places that are considered private.
Types
The types of dataveillance are separated by the way data is collected, as well as the number of individuals associated with it.
Personal Dataveillance: Personal dataveillance refers to the collection and monitoring of a person's personal data. Personal dataveillance can occur when an individual's data causes a suspicion or has attracted attention in some way. Personal data can include information such as birth date, address, social security (or social insurance) number, as well as other unique identifiers.
Mass Dataveillance: Refers to the collection of data on groups of people. The general distinction between mass dataveillance and personal dataveillance is the surveillance and collection of data as a group rather than an individual.
Facilitative Mechanisms: Unlike mass dataveillance a group is not targeted. An individual's data is placed into a system or database along with various others where computer matching can unveil distinct patterns. An individual's data is never considered to part of a group in this instance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain%20Global | Blockchain Global Ltd. is a Bitcoin mining and management consulting company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Founded as Bitcoin Group, after attempting to become the first digital currency company to launch an IPO without 'backdoor listing', the company expanded its focus into consulting and corporate fraud and extortion prevention.
History
Bitcoin Group was founded in 2014 as a bitcoin mining company as a result of a partnership between Sam Lee, Allan Guo and Vincent Vu.
, with seven bitcoin mining locations in Australia, China, and Thailand, Bitcoin Group's mining operation generated 6.2 peta hashes, approximately 15.7% of the Global Hash Power. The company made a submission to the Australian Senate’s Economics References Committee for their 2015 inquiry into digital currencies. The submission advised the committee that while the company did not agree with the ruling on the GST treatment of digital currencies by the Australian Taxation Office, its ambitions would have been more difficult to realize without the regulatory clarity that it provided.
Bitcoin Group announced that it would pursue an initial public offering (IPO) on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in October 2014. The attempt was delayed by two stop orders from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Following ASIC's request for an Independent Expert Report, the company undertook a third attempt to list on the ASX through an IPO, planning to issue 100 million new shares by January 2016 and thereby raise $20 million at 20¢ a share and achieve a market capitalisation of $32.9 million based on 164,870,930 shares on completion of the offer. Bitcoin Group closed their offer on 25 January 2016 after raising $5.9 million, less than a third of the target, and in March 2016 withdrew the offer and refunded subscribers after ASX deemed their liquidity insufficient. The company said the capital report by an independent accounting firm which the exchange had required did not take into account the expected rise in bitcoin prices following block halving in July 2016.
In August 2016 Bitcoin Group rebranded as Blockchain Global to reflect a broadened focus including management consulting and business incubation. The company later developed the blockchain exchange platform ACX.io; in February 2017 it reached an agreement with Digital X to take over the function of that company's blockchain exchange platform, Digital X Direct. ACX subsequently ceased operations abruptly with customers unable to access their assets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search%20engine%20optimization%20metrics | A number of metrics are available to marketers interested in search engine optimization. Search engines and software creating such metrics all use their own crawled data to derive at a numeric conclusion on a website's organic search potential. Since these metrics can be manipulated, they can never be completely reliable for accurate and truthful results.
Google PageRank
Google PageRank (Google PR) is one of the methods Google uses to determine a page's relevance or importance. Important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results. Google PageRank (PR) is a measure from 0 - 10. Google PageRank is based on backlinks. PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites. However, Google claims there will be no more PageRank updates, rendering this metric as outdated. As of 15 April 2016, Google has officially removed the PR score from their Toolbar.
Alexa Traffic Rank
Alexa Traffic Rank is based on the amount of traffic recorded from users that have the Alexa toolbar installed over a period of three months. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. Alexa's Traffic Ranks are for domains only and do not give separate rankings for subpages within a domain or subdomains. At the end of 2021, Amazon announced that the Alexa project was going to be discontinued on May 1, 2022.
Moz Domain Authority
Domain Authority (DA), a website metric developed by Moz, is a predictive metric to determine a website's traffic and organic search engine rankings. Domain Authority is based on different link metrics, such as number of linking root domains, number of total backlinks, and the distance of backlinks from the home page of websites.
Moz Page Authority
Compared to Domain Authority which determines the ranking strength of an entire domain or subdomain, Page Authority measures the strength of an individual page.
It's a score developed by Moz on a 100-point logarithmic scale. Unlike TrustFlow, domain authority does not account for spam.
Netcraft
Similar to many other websites like Alexa, Netcraft features a toolbar that provides users with the ability to view page-hit popularity and various web server metrics along with aggregated user provided website feedback.

Created by Ted and Betty Corday, the series focuses on the residents of the fictional midwestern town of Salem, USA. It premiered on November 8, 1965. This is a list of notable characters who significantly impacted storylines and made their first appearance between 2000 and 2009.
J.T. Reiber
J.T. Reiber, born on June 9, 2000, is introduced as the child intended to be adopted by Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Lexie Carver (Renée Jones). However, Lexie's father Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) switches the infant at birth with Bo and Hope's (Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso) son. After years of trying for a baby the natural way, Abe and Lexie Carver decide that they will adopt a child. When Lexie's father Stefano DiMera hears about the news, he is over joyed at the prospect of finally becoming a grandfather and asks that Abe and Lexie adopt the child of one of his distant relatives. The birth mother Marlo is in fact the niece of Dr. Rolf, Stefano's longtime assistant. However none the wiser to Lexie and Abe, Stefano is planning a plot whereby Marlo's baby would be switched with the baby of Bo and Hope's who Stefano at the time thought might be his or John Black's. After the births of the babies, Stefano has Dr. Rolf switch Hope's and Marlo's babies birth tags. So, the baby is instead taken home by Bo and Hope Brady and named John Thomas, getting his names from family friend John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and Hope's late grandfather Tom Horton (MacDonald Carey).
He was later reclaimed by his birth father Glen Reiber and new wife Barb.
Zack Brady
Zack Brady was the second son and child of supercouple Hope and Bo Brady, born June 9, 2000. For the longest time, Zack is known as Isaac Theo Carver, the long-awaited and much-beloved son of Abe and Lexie Carver. For years the two had tried unsuccessfully to have a child of their own with no success, until Lexie's father, Stefano, got them in touch with Marlo, a young pregnant woman. Abe and Lexie adopt the baby that Marlo has given birth to, unaware that Stefano had switched Marlo and Hope's sons.
Zack dies on January 1, 2006, after being run over by Bo's SUV, which is driven by his daughter, Chelsea. Upon his death, his liver is donated to his niece, Claire Brady, and his corneas are donated to Abe Carver; Claire's life is saved and Abe regains his eyesight. Zack's death and the revelation of Chelsea as the SUV driver drive a wedge between Bo and Hope – as well as the rest of the Brady family for most of 2006.
In June 2016, Hope has a vision of a teen Zack at the age he would have been, had he lived, portrayed by Scott Shilstone.
Shilstone returned to the role in Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem as an angel to help Bo to convince his mom to return to Earth to help their family.
In September 2023, his sister Chelsea returned to Salem for their grandfather Victor's funeral and she announced that she gave birth to her and Max Br |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name%20resolution%20%28programming%20languages%29 | In programming languages, name resolution is the resolution of the tokens within program expressions to the intended program components.
Overview
Expressions in computer programs reference variables, data types, functions, classes, objects, libraries, packages and other entities by name. In that context, name resolution refers to the association of those not-necessarily-unique names with the intended program entities. The algorithms that determine what those identifiers refer to in specific contexts are part of the language definition.
The complexity of these algorithms is influenced by the sophistication of the language. For example, name resolution in assembly language usually involves only a single simple table lookup, while name resolution in C++ is extremely complicated as it involves:
namespaces, which make it possible for an identifier to have different meanings depending on its associated namespace;
scopes, which make it possible for an identifier to have different meanings at different scope levels, and which involves various scope overriding and hiding rules. At the most basic level name resolution usually attempts to find the binding in the smallest enclosing scope, so that for example local variables supersede global variables; this is called shadowing.
visibility rules, which determine whether identifiers from specific namespaces or scopes are visible from the current context;
overloading, which makes it possible for an identifier to have different meanings depending on how it is used, even in a single namespace or scope;
accessibility, which determines whether identifiers from an otherwise visible scope are actually accessible and participate in the name resolution process.
Static versus dynamic
In programming languages, name resolution can be performed either at compile time or at runtime. The former is called static name resolution, the latter is called dynamic name resolution.
A somewhat common misconception is that dynamic typing implies dynamic name resolution. For example, Erlang is dynamically typed but has static name resolution. However, static typing does imply static name resolution.
Static name resolution catches, at compile time, use of variables that are not in scope; preventing programmer errors. Languages with dynamic scope resolution sacrifice this safety for more flexibility; they can typically set and get variables in the same scope at runtime.
For example, in the Python interactive REPL:
>>> number = 99
>>> first_noun = "problems"
>>> second_noun = "hound"
>>> # Which variables to use are decided at runtime
>>> print(f"I got {number} {first_noun} but a {second_noun} ain't one.")
I got 99 problems but a hound ain't one.
However, relying on dynamic name resolution in code is discouraged by the Python community. The feature also may be removed in a later version of Python.
Examples of languages that use static name resolution include C, C++, E, Erlang, Haskell, Java, Pascal, Scheme, and Smalltalk. Exampl |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name%20resolution%20%28computer%20systems%29 | In computer systems, name resolution refers to the retrieval of the underlying numeric values corresponding to computer hostnames, account user names, group names, and other named entities.
Computer operating systems commonly employ multiple key/value lists that associate easily remembered names with the integer numbers used to identify users, groups, other computers, hardware devices, and other entities. In that context, name resolution refers to the retrieval of numeric values given the associated names, while Reverse name resolution refers to the opposite process of finding the name(s) associated with specified numeric values:
In computer networking, it refers to processes used to obtain the assigned IP addresses needed to communicate with devices whose host or domain names are known. Examples include the Domain Name System (DNS), Network Information Service and Multicast DNS (mDNS). IP addresses for devices on the local segment can in turn be resolved to MAC addresses by invoking the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
Unix operating systems associate both an alphanumeric name and a user or group ID with each user account or defined group of user names.
The GNU C Library provides various operating system facilities that shell commands and other applications can call to resolve such names to the corresponding addresses or IDs, and vice versa. Some Linux distributions use an nsswitch.conf file to specify the order in which multiple resolution services are used to effect such lookups.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad%20Pro | The iPad Pro is a series of tablet computers, positioned as a premium model of Apple's iPad tablet computer. It runs iPadOS, a tablet-optimized version of the iOS operating system.
The original iPad Pro was introduced in September 2015, and ran iOS 9. It had an A9X chip, and came in two sizes: 9.7-inch and 12.9 inch. The second-generation iPad Pro, unveiled in June 2017, had an upgraded A10X Fusion chip and swapped the 9.7-inch screen for a larger 10.5-inch display. The third-generation iPad Pro, announced in October 2018, eliminated the home button, and featured Face ID; it came in 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, the same screen sizes used by every subsequent model to date. The fourth-generation iPad Pro, introduced in March 2020, included the A12Z chip, and was introduced alongside the Magic Keyboard. The fifth-generation iPad Pro, announced in April 2021, incorporated a desktop-class M1 chip, making it the first iPad model to not use an A-series processor. The sixth- and current-generation iPad Pro, introduced in October 2022, includes the M2 chip, Apple Pencil Hover, and ProRes video.
History
First generation
The first generation of iPad Pro came in two sizes: 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch. The 12.9-inch version was announced on September 9, 2015 and released on November 11, 2015. It was larger than all previous iPad models, was the first iPad to feature LPDDR4 RAM, and originally shipped with iOS 9.1. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro was announced on March 21, 2016 and released ten days later. It was based on the form factor of the iPad Air 2 and originally shipped with iOS 9.3.
Second generation
On June 5, 2017, the second generation iPad Pro was announced, which features A10X Fusion processors, with storage options of 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. Upgraded displays include a 10.5-inch version to replace the 9.7-inch model, while the 12.9-inch version was refreshed. Both sizes employed refresh rates up to 120 Hz, better HDR and TrueTone white balancing. Following this announcement, both models of the first-generation iPad Pro were discontinued. The iPad 10.5-inch and the Gen 2 iPad 12.9-inch were the last iPad Pro models with Home Button.
Third generation
The third generation of iPad Pro was announced on October 30, 2018, and was made available in two screen sizes: and . They feature full-screen displays, with the 11-inch model replacing the 10.5-inch model of the previous generation. They also feature up to 1 TB of storage and Face ID using a sensor array on the top bezel which, unlike iPhone models featuring Face ID, can unlock the iPad in any orientation. The home button was completely removed in favor of a larger display. Due to having an all-screen design, these devices are the first iPads to lack a physical button on the front. These were also the first iPads to come with USB-C connector, replacing Apple's Lightning connector. It was launched with a Smart Keyboard Folio (sold separately), but also supports the Magic Keyboard with a trackpad l |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad%20Mini%204 | The iPad Mini 4 (stylized and marketed as iPad mini 4) is the fourth-generation iPad Mini tablet computer designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced along with the iPad Pro on September 9, 2015, and released the same day. The iPad Mini 4, which replaced the iPad Mini 3, was discontinued on March 18, 2019, when it was replaced by the fifth-generation iPad Mini. It features most of the hardware similar to the iPad Air 2 including its laminated display and design.
History
The iPad Mini 4 was announced during the "Hey Siri" Apple Special Event on September 9, 2015, alongside other new or refreshed products, including the iPad Pro, the iPhone 6s, and the Apple TV. However, there was minimal focus directly on the new device, with only a brief mention at the end of the iPad Pro portion of the keynote.
Features
Software
The iPad Mini 4 ships with the iOS 9 operating system pre-installed, and was the first device to do so. With an additional 1 GB of RAM compared to the previous generations' Mini, the iPad Mini 4 is capable of utilizing the Slide Over, Split View and Picture in Picture multitasking functions in iOS 9.
The device is compatible with iOS 9.1, which was released on October 21, 2015, which adds the News app for the UK and Australia as well as additional emoji and other bug fixes.
It was revealed at WWDC 2019 that the iPad Mini 4 would support iPadOS, despite rumours saying that it wouldn't. It does lack the support for some features though such as Memoji Stickers, Apple's ARKit based applications and support for Sidecar in macOS Catalina, due to it having the Apple A8 Processor. Apart from this, most of the features that were introduced in iPadOS will work with this iPad, including support for external USB drives (using the camera connection kits), the redesigned split screen and multitasking interface (with support for two apps to be open at once) and support for Haptic Touch (no haptic feedback will be felt as the iPad family don't have Taptic Engines). iPadOS 14 and 15 was also supported, albeit with less features. It was revealed in WWDC 2022 that iPadOS 16 won't be supported on the Mini 4, along with the iPad Air 2.
Design
The iPad Mini 4 was the first major redesign of the iPad Mini line, with a slightly taller and wider body (though with no increase in screen size) compared to the iPad Mini 2 and Mini 3. There is also a much thinner design, with the device mirroring the depth of the iPad Air 2 at 6.1 millimeters. This device is also lighter than the previous generation by 33.2 grams.
Due to the redesign, this device is incompatible with cases that would otherwise work with the iPad Mini 2 or iPad Mini 3. To compensate for this, Apple released a Smart Cover and Silicone Case for the Mini 4, which can be used separately or together as a fully protective case. Unlike the iPad Air 2, there is no leather Smart Case made by Apple for the device. The mute switch was removed, as was done for the iPad Air 2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marisha%20Data | Marisha Data (d. October 12, 1972) was a Polish-American comedian, singer, and composer. She was a successful performer for both English and Polish audiences. Her career encompassed numerous genres, ranging from serious opera to polka to vaudeville. Her comic performances were often in the character of Aggie Klepaczka.
Biography
She was an early performer on television, performing to pleasant reviews on WBKB in Chicago. In 1948 she was performing Il Trovatore while touring with the Chicago Opera Artists Association, in the role of Azucena. Here her voice was reviewed as “big, warm, dramatic”. The next year she was with the “Grand Opera Company of New York” performing in the opera Taras Bulba. The opera itself received a scathing review, but Data was again praised as someone who could “make a poor aria sound like a fairly good one”.
Signed to Capitol, in 1950 she was releasing material in English on their regular pop series, and in Polish for the ethnic series. She then signed to Dana Records in 1952, and in quick secession a recording session took place in Chicago and several sides, performed In Polish, were released. Capitol Records released material by Data as part of their 1957 “Capitol of the World” campaign.
In addition to her singing, she was a radio announcer, most commonly associated with WHFC, Chicago. One of her U.S. War Bond drives netted in excess of 1 million dollars. She was also a character actor, specializing in comic personalities. In the character of "Aggie Klepaczka" she performed comic skits in both Polish and English, over a period that lasted from the early 1950s until the 1960s.
Marisha Data died on October 12, 1972.
Legacy
In 1974 she became, posthumously, the first woman to be inducted into the Polka Music Hall of Fame.
Data remained popular among Polish and polka audiences long after her death. Richie Drongoski in 1992 included her name in his song with lyrical content similar to Rock and Roll Heaven but switched to Polka. Similarly, Lenny Gomulka, in Polish via litania form, canonizes Data among polka luminaries in his song ‘’Where Were You Back Then Polka’’.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South%20Carolina%20Public%20Radio | South Carolina Public Radio (SCPR) is the National Public Radio member network serving the state of South Carolina. It is operated by the South Carolina Educational Television Commission, an agency of the South Carolina state government. It is a sister network to South Carolina Educational Television.
The network's primary operations are located on George Rogers Boulevard in Columbia, across from Williams-Brice Stadium. Satellite studios are located in Spartanburg, Beaufort, Sumter and Rock Hill.
The network's eight stations provide at least secondary coverage to nearly all of South Carolina, plus portions of North Carolina and Georgia.
History
The Educational Television Commission had its mission broadened to include radio in the late 1960s. In 1972, WEPR in Clemson (now in Greenville) signed on the air as the state's first public radio station. Seven more transmitters signed on in the 1970s and 1980s.
Until 2001, the stations were known as the "South Carolina Educational Radio Network," airing a mix of classical music and NPR news and talk. However, since much of the state gets grade B coverage from at least two full NPR member stations, the ETV Commission opted to split the radio stations into two networks. Four stations continued to air a mix of classical music and NPR programming, while three aired an expanded schedule of NPR news and talk. The eighth station, WNSC-FM in Rock Hill, began airing exclusively jazz music in order to avoid programming duplication with WFAE in Charlotte.
In 2003, SCERN rebranded as "ETV Radio" in order to link the radio stations more closely with their television sisters.
In 2009, ETV Radio began streaming both the Classical and News networks on the Internet; prior to this, it had been one of the few NPR members not to offer live streaming online.
In 2011, listeners gave $1.5 million in donations toward the construction of a new studio facility, which opened in April 2013.
In August 2015, ETV president Linda O'Byron announced that in response to a listener survey, ETV Radio would rebrand as South Carolina Public Radio. The name change took full effect in September.
Network
South Carolina Public Radio consists of eight FM transmitters. Three of these stations broadcast a mix of NPR information programs and classical music; five of them broadcast strictly NPR news and information programming. However, all these stations simulcast NPR's more popular shows, such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
News/classical service
News/talk service
When the ETV Commission split its offerings into a two-channel network in 2001, WJWJ was the first to split off later that year. Nearly all of its coverage area also receives classical music programming from WSVH in Savannah, and it offers at least grade B coverage to most of the Charleston area. WRJA came next later in 2001 since much of its coverage area overlaps WLTR. WHMC followed in late 2001, with WLJK joining in 2003.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeleXitos | TeleXitos is an American Spanish language digital multicast television network owned by NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, a subsidiary of the NBCUniversal Filmed and Entertainment division of NBCUniversal (itself a subsidiary of Comcast). Aimed at the Hispanic and Latin American community, the network airs a mix of dramatic television series from the 1970s to the 2000s and movies, with all programming consisting of shows dubbed into Spanish.
History
Telenovela format as Éxitos TV
The network traces its origins to Éxitos TV, a digital multicast network launched by Telemundo Station Group on January 28, 2012; Éxitos primarily focused on reruns of telenovelas from the 1990s and 2000s that were previously broadcast on sister network Telemundo. The network was initially launched on the digital subchannels of Telemundo's owned-and-operated stations.
Relaunch as TeleXitos
On December 1, 2014, the Telemundo Station Group relaunched Éxitos as TeleXitos. The new format of the network would shift to focus on Spanish-dubbed reruns of drama and action series from the 1970s to the early 2000s, which in effect made the network a companion service with sister network Cozi TV and a competitor to several English language multicast networks specializing in archived programming including MeTV, Antenna TV and the Retro Television Network – with TeleXitos becoming the first Spanish language network in the U.S. to focus on classic television programs. Telemundo Station Group chose to change the network's format in response to research illustrating the limited availability of action and adventure programs in Spanish. Barbara Alfonso, who previously served as programming and community marketing manager at NBC's Miami owned-and-operated station WTVJ, was appointed as director of network operations, handling responsibility of programming acquisitions, national advertising sales and digital operations.
Programming
TeleXitos' programming focuses primarily on action and adventure series and feature films from the 1970s to the 2000s, aimed primarily at males between the ages of 25 and 54 years old. Much of the network's series acquisitions are sourced primarily from the programming library of corporate sister NBCUniversal Television Distribution (including shows from Universal Television, Revue Studios, NBC Studios and MCA Television), although it features select programs from other distributors. The network was designed to complement existing programming content on sister network Telemundo, with stations affiliated with that network being given the option of scheduling daily blocks of local news, sports and special events programming in place of shows airing on the national TeleXitos feed. All of the network's content is presented in Spanish, consisting of dubbed versions originally intended for syndication in Latin American countries (incidentally, parent network Telemundo has long incorporated Spanish-dubbed versions of English-language films among its feature film c |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston%20Defender | The Houston Defender (Network) is a Black digital information source that originated from the African American newspaper of the same name based in Houston, Texas. Established in 1930 by C.F. Richardson Sr., the newspaper has been a strong voice for the African American community for over 90 years. During its founding, African Americans faced significant challenges, such as racism, discrimination and limited access to education, employment and political power. Today, the Houston Defender Network is pivotal in advocating for social, economic, environmental and political justice for the African American community.
Richardson Family Legacy
From its earliest days, the Houston Defender was a powerful force for change and progress. The paper covered various topics, from local news and events to national and international issues affecting the African American community. It provided coverage of civil rights struggles, including the fight for voting rights, desegregation and equal employment opportunities. The paper also highlighted the achievements of African Americans in Houston and throughout the country, in education, business, sports, entertainment and other areas.
Having also founded the Houston Informer newspaper a decade earlier, C.F. Richardson Sr. was instrumental in helping found the Houston Branch of the NAACP and the Houston Black Chamber, and was very active in his church. His fiery editorials often reflected on the critical issues impacting Blacks listed in the Defender’s 14-point platform he established.
In 1939, C.F. Richardson Sr. died and his son C.F. Richardson Jr. assumed the company's leadership. Under Richardson Jr.’s direction, entertainment and sports were emphasized as African Americans made numerous advancements in these two fields. Another interest that elevated Richardson Jr. was his love for photography which was instrumental in his teaching the craft at Texas Southern University.
Over the years, the Houston Defender has been at the forefront of many important social and political movements. From the 1940s to the 1960s, the paper played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement, providing coverage of protests, marches and other events. The paper also helped to mobilize support for the movement, encouraging readers to get involved and take action to promote equality and justice.
In addition to its role as a news source and advocate for the African American community, the Houston Defender has been a cultural and social institution. The paper has provided a platform for African American artists, writers and musicians to showcase their talents and has helped to promote African American culture and history. It has also provided information and support to African American organizations and institutions, including churches, community centers and social clubs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OREDA | The Offshore and Onshore Reliability Data (OREDA) project was established in 1981 in cooperation with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (now Petroleum Safety Authority Norway). It is "one of the main reliability data sources for the oil and gas industry" and considered "a unique data source on failure rates, failure mode distribution and repair times for equipment used in the offshore industr[y]. OREDA's original objective was the collection of petroleum industry safety equipment reliability data. The current organization, as a cooperating group of several petroleum and natural gas companies, was established in 1983, and at the same time the scope of OREDA was extended to cover reliability data from a wide range of equipment used in oil and gas exploration and production (E&P). OREDA primarily covers offshore, subsea and topside equipment, but does also include some onshore E&P, and some downstream equipment as well.
The main objective of the OREDA project is to contribute to an improved safety and cost-effectiveness in design and operation of oil and gas E&P facilities, through collection and analysis of maintenance and operational data, establishment of a high quality reliability database, and exchange of reliability, availability, maintenance and safety (RAMS) technology among the participating companies.
History
Work on the OREDA project proceeds in phases spanning 2–3 years. Handbooks summarizing the data collected and other work completed are issued regularly.
Phase I (1983–1985)The primary activity during this phase was the collection and compilation of offshore drilling installations, and the publication of these data in the first OREDA Handbook. This demonstrated the ability of the eight petroleum industry companies involved in the project to cooperate on safety issues. While data in this initial phase included a wide range of equipment types, the level of detail was not as complete as in later phases of the project. Data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (1984 edition); Phase I data are not, however, included in the OREDA database.
Phase II (1987–1990)To improve data quality, the project's scope was altered to include collection of production-critical equipment data only. Data began to be stored in a Windows OS database. The development of a tailor-made data collection and analysis program, the OREDA software, was begun. Data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (1992 edition), which also contains re-published data collected in phase I.
Phase III (1990–1992)The number of equipment categories included was increased, and more data on maintenance programs were collected. Data quality was improved following established "Guidelines for Data Collection" and via improved quality control. The user interface of the OREDA software was improved, and programming changes allowed it to be used as a broader-purpose tool for data collection. Data collected in this phase are published in the OR |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri%20Lanka%20Rupavahini%20Corporation | The Sri Lanka Rūpavāhinī Corporation (; ), also known as Jathika Rupavahini (lit. National Television) or simply as Rupavahini, is the national television network of Sri Lanka.
Established by Parliament under Act No. 6 of 1982 for the provision of national television service, it produces and broadcasts programmes in three languages. Distinguished civil servant M.J Perera was the founder and chairman of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation.
SLRC is the largest television broadcaster in Sri Lanka and has an island-wide reception of its channels. SLRC broadcasts its channels in both VHF and UHF frequencies in Sri Lanka. Currently, all of the network's services are only available by analog transmission. But there are plans to upgrade to digital broadcasting. From 2011 Kokavil began to broadcast in DVB-T2 for the North area in Sri Lanka. There were plans to transmit DVB-T2 digital television all over the country in 2015. By 2021, however, the government had switched to a plan to use ISDB-T after receiving aid from the Japanese foreign ministry.
History
Rūpavāhinī was created under a government act on January 23, 1982, and established on February 14 the same year. Rupavahini began broadcasting on February 15, 1982, one day after it was established, with an opening speech from J. R. Jayewardene, Sri Lanka's president at the time. Funding was donated by the Japanese government. Both transmitters were built and installed by Japanese technicians.
In 1986, Rupavahini expanded its facilities and, in 1998, rehabilitated most of the original equipment using digital technology under three grant aid projects from the Government of Japan. Its studio complex is in Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. The complex comprises a master control room, four studios, two dubbing studios, a digital post-production unit, two analogue post-production units, several editing suites including non-linear editing, and four outside broadcast vehicles. 'Rupavahini 2' launched in April 1999 before it changed its name to the current 'Channel Eye' in August 2000.
On January 1, 2008, Channel Eye became a time-shared channel, altering with the newly created Nethra TV. In 2009, series of Rupavahini productions available in DVD and VCD formats under the title "RU Entertainments". Rupavahini is the first Sri Lankan channel to telecast foreign teledramas. The most popular of them was Oshin, which was a Japanese teledrama dubbed in Sinhala. Also, the channel telecast the first Korean drama to air in the country called Sujatha Diyani also known as Dae Jang Geum, in November 2012. Which is another popular drama where it led to the foundation of other Korean historical dramas to air and be dubbed in Sinhala as well.
In December 2014, the main channel was made available via satellite to Europe (via Eutelsat 70B), prompting the channel to temporarily go 24/7 (still doing the formal start and end of transmission routines) to alleviate time zone differences. Due to unknown reasons, the |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary%20File%20System | The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol, hypermedia and file sharing peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting IPFS hosts.
IPFS can among others replace the location based hypermedia server protocols http and https to distribute the World Wide Web.
Design
IPFS allows users to host and receive content in a manner similar to BitTorrent. As opposed to a centrally located server, IPFS is built around a decentralized system of user-operators who hold a portion of the overall data, creating a resilient system of file storage and sharing. Any user in the network can serve a file by its content address, and other peers in the network can find and request that content from any node who has it using a distributed hash table (DHT).
In contrast to BitTorrent, IPFS aims to create a single global network. This means that if two users publish a block of data with the same hash, the peers downloading the content from "user 1" will also exchange data with the ones downloading it from "user 2". IPFS aims to replace protocols used for static webpage delivery by using gateways which are accessible with HTTP. Users may choose not to install an IPFS client on their device and instead use a public gateway. A list of these gateways is maintained on the IPFS GitHub page.
History
IPFS was created by Juan Benet, who later founded Protocol Labs in May 2014.
IPFS was launched in an alpha version in February 2015, and by October of the same year was described by TechCrunch as "quickly spreading by word of mouth."
Network service provider Cloudflare started using IPFS in 2018 and launched its own gateway in the system in 2022.
In March 2020, the Opera browser provided access to the centralized resources of the Unstoppable Domains provider by hosting content in IPFS.
Applications
Filecoin is an IPFS-based cooperative storage cloud, also authored by Protocol Labs.
Cloudflare runs a distributed web gateway to simplify, speed up, and secure access to IPFS without needing a local node.
Microsoft's self-sovereign identity system, Microsoft ION, builds on the Bitcoin blockchain and IPFS through a Sidetree-based DID network.
The shadow libraries Anna's Archive and Library Genesis also deliver books via IPFS, enabling the largest human library of books to be more resilient.
Brave uses Origin Protocol and IPFS to host its decentralized merchandise store and, in 2021, added support into their browser.
Opera for Android has default support for IPFS, allowing mobile users to browse links to access data on the IPFS network.
Anti-censorship
The Catalan independence referendum, taking place in September–October 2017, was deemed illegal by the Constitutional Court of Spain and many related websites were blocked. Subsequently, the Catalan Pirate Party mirrored the website on IPFS to bypass the High Court of Justice of Catalonia |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty%20Easy%20privacy | Pretty Easy privacy (p≡p or pEp) is a pluggable data encryption and verification system, that provides automatic cryptographic key management through a set of libraries (providing p≡p adapters for application developers used programming languages and development environments) for written digital communications. Its main goal is to make end-to-end encryption the default in written digital communications for all users in the easiest way possible and on the channels they already make use of, including e-mails, SMS, or other types of messages.
It exists as a plugin for Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird as well as a mobile app for Android and iOS. p≡p also works under Microsoft Windows, Unix-like and Mac OS X operating systems. Its cryptographic functionality is handled by an open-source p≡p engine relying on already existing cryptographic implementations in software like GnuPG, a modified version of netpgp (used only in iOS), and (as of p≡p v2.0) GNUnet.
In its default configuration, p≡p does not rely on a web of trust or any form of centralized trust infrastructure, but instead lets users verify each other's authenticity by comparing cryptographic fingerprints in the form of natural language strings.
Pretty Easy privacy was first released in 2016. Their free and open-source software includes p≡p engine, adapters, apps and add-ons (Including Microsoft Outlook).
In March 2021, it was revealed that the company behind p≡p paid for fake reviews for their apps.
Design principles
Above all, p≡p – supposedly contrary to existing cryptographic solutions – should be easy to install, use, and understand. Furthermore, for their communications, p≡p users do not depend on any specific platform, message transport system (SMS, email, XMPP, etc.), or centrally provided client–server or "cloud" infrastructures: p≡p is fully peer-to-peer by design.
Keys are exchanged opportunistically by transferring via email.
Enigmail support
Enigmail announced its support for the new "pretty Easy privacy" (p≡p) encryption scheme in a joint Thunderbird extension to be released in December 2015. Patrick Brunschwig, the head of Enigmail, announced to have p≡p core functionality implemented in Enigmail during October 2016, ready for Mozilla Festival then taking place in London.
In July 2020, Thunderbird 78 dropped support for the Enigmail Add-On. Thunderbird 78 includes OpenPGP functionality, and no longer requires the installation of external software.
ISOC support
Internet Society Switzerland Chapter (ISOC-CH) and the Swiss p≡p foundation teamed up to provide a practical solution, namely to implement privacy-enhancing standards at the basic level of internet protocols, and document them in the work of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the main organization creating voluntary standards, to maintain and improve the usability and interoperability of the internet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeroNet | ZeroNet is a decentralized web-like network of peer-to-peer users, created by Tamas Kocsis in 2015, programming for the network was based in Budapest, Hungary; is built in Python; and is fully open source. Instead of having an IP address, sites are identified by a public key (specifically a bitcoin address). The private key allows the owner of a site to sign and publish changes, which propagate through the network. Sites can be accessed through an ordinary web browser when using the ZeroNet application, which acts as a local webhost for such pages. In addition to using bitcoin cryptography, ZeroNet uses trackers from the BitTorrent network to negotiate connections between peers. ZeroNet is not anonymous by default, but it supports routing traffic through the Tor network.
The ZeroNet website and bittorrent tracker are blocked in mainland China. Despite the censorship, however, it is still possible to access ZeroNet from behind the Great Firewall of China, even over Tor, by bootstrapping over Meek, and connecting to peers directly.
There is no way to take down a ZeroNet page which still has seeders, thus making such pages immune to third-party methods of taking them down, including DMCA takedown notices.
Hiatus and forks
Development has stopped for several months after stable release of v0.7.1 on Github. The zeronet-conservancy fork maintains existing codebase and adds features aimed at gradually migrating to a new p2p network designed from scratch
Development of the network
The feasibility of peer-to-peer online web-sites had been hypothesised for some time, with The Pirate Bay suggesting they would build a network, as well as BitTorrent Inc. which created the closed-source Project Maelstrom.
Sites on ZeroNet are known as "zites" by its users.
ZeroNet supports HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Server-side languages like PHP are not supported, although ZeroNet creates and gives API to interact with SQLite databases, their data also distributed (as JSON files) via P2P.
By default, sites have a size limit of 10 megabytes, but users may grant a site permission to use more storage space if they wish.
With plugins and the ZeroFrame API, sites can communicate with ZeroNet calling Python by JavaScript.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic%20cloud%20storage | An elastic cloud is a cloud computing offering that provides variable service levels based on changing needs.
Elasticity is an attribute that can be applied to most cloud services. It states that the capacity and performance of any given cloud service can expand or contract according to a customer's requirements and that this can potentially be changed automatically as a consequence of some software-driven event or, at worst, can be reconfigured quickly by the customer's infrastructure management team.
Elasticity has been described as one of the five main principles of cloud computing by Rosenburg and Mateos in The Cloud at Your Service - Manning 2011.
History
Cloud computing was first described by Gillet and Kapor in
1996;
however, the first practical implementation was a consequence of a strategy to leverage Amazon's excess data center capacity.
Amazon and other pioneers of the commercial use of this technology were primarily
interested in providing a “public” cloud service, whereby they could offer customers the benefits of using the cloud, particularly the utility-based
pricing model benefit.
Other suppliers followed suit with a range of cloud-based
models all offering elasticity as a core component, but these suppliers were
only offering this service as an element of their public cloud service.
Due to perceived weaknesses in security, or at least a lack
of proven compliance, many organizations, particularly in the financial and
public sectors, have been slow adopters of cloud technologies. These
wary organizations can achieve some of the benefits of cloud computing by
adopting private
cloud
technologies.
An alternative form of the elastic cloud has been offered
by vendors such as EMC and
IBM,
whereby the service is based around an enterprise's own infrastructure but
still retains elements of elasticity and the potential to bill by consumption.
Description
Elasticity in cloud computing is the ability for the
organization to adjust its storage requirements in terms of capacity and
processing with respect to operational requirements. This has the following
benefits:
Operational Benefits - Services
can be acquired quickly, meaning that the evolving requirements of the business
can be addressed almost immediately, giving an organization a potential agility
advantage. A properly implemented elastic system will provision/de-provision
according to application demands, so if a particular business has activity
spikes then the provision can be enabled to match the demand and the capacity
can be re-allocated.
Research and Development (R&D) Projects - R&D activities are no
longer hindered by a requirement to secure a capex budget prior to a project
starting. Capability can simply be provisioned from the cloud and released at
the end of the exercise.
Testing and Deployment - With
most large-scale projects a size test needs to be performed prior to final
rollout. By taking advantage of the elasticity of the cloud and creating a full-scale

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional%20Cubic%20Convolution%20Interpolation | Directional Cubic Convolution Interpolation (DCCI) is an edge-directed image scaling algorithm created by Dengwen Zhou and Xiaoliu Shen.
By taking into account the edges in an image, this scaling algorithm reduces artifacts common to other image scaling algorithms. For example, staircase artifacts on diagonal lines and curves are eliminated.
The algorithm resizes an image to 2x its original dimensions, minus 1.
The algorithm
The algorithm works in three main steps:
Copy the original pixels to the output image, with gaps between the pixels.
Calculate the pixels for the diagonal gaps.
Calculate the pixels for the remaining horizontal and vertical gaps.
Calculating pixels in diagonal gaps
Evaluation of diagonal pixels is done on the original image data in a 4×4 region, with the new pixel that is being calculated in the center, in the gap between the original pixels. This can also be thought of as the 7×7 region in the enlarged image centered on the new pixel to calculate, and the original pixels have already been copied.
The algorithm decides one of three cases:
Edge in up-right direction — interpolates along down-right direction.
Edge in down-right direction — interpolates along up-right direction.
Smooth area — interpolates in both directions, then multiples the values by weights.
Calculating diagonal edge strength
Let d1 be the sum of edges in the up-right direction, and d2 be the sum of edges in the down-right direction.
To calculate d1, take the sum of abs(P(X, Y) - P(X - 1, Y + 1)), in the region of X = 1 to 3, and Y = 0 to 2.
To calculate d2, take the sum of abs(P(X, Y) - P(X + 1, Y + 1)), in the region of X = 0 to 2, and Y = 0 to 2.
Interpolating pixels
If (1 + d1) / (1 + d2) > 1.15, then there is an edge in the up-right direction. If (1 + d2) / (1 + d1) > 1.15, then there is an edge in the down-right direction.
Otherwise, one is in a smooth area. To avoid division and floating-point operations, this can also be expressed as 100 * (1 + d1) > 115 * (1 + d2), and 100 * (1 + d2) > 115 * (1 + d1).
Up-right edge
For an edge in the up-right direction, one interpolates in the down-right direction.
Output pixel = (-1 * P(0, 0) + 9 * P(1, 1) + 9 * P(2, 2) - 1 * P(3, 3)) / 16
The pixel value will need to be forced to the valid range of pixel values (usually 0 to 255).
Down-right edge
For an edge in the down-right direction, one interpolates in the up-right direction.
Output pixel = (-1 * P(3, 0) + 9 * P(2, 1) + 9 * P(1, 2) - 1 * P(0, 3)) / 16
The pixel value will need to be forced to the valid range of pixel values (usually 0 to 255).
Smooth area
In the smooth area, edge strength from up-right will contribute to the down-right sampled pixel, and edge strength from down-right will contribute to the up-right sampled pixel.
w1 = 1 / (1 + d1 ^ 5)
w2 = 1 / (1 + d2 ^ 5)
weight1 = w1 / (w1 + w2)
weight2 = w2 / (w1 + w2)
DownRightPixel = (-1 * P(0, 0) + 9 * P(1, 1) + 9 * P(2, 2) - 1 * P(3, 3)) / 16
UpRightPixel = (-1 * P(3 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeighborhoodScout | NeighborhoodScout is a website and online database of U.S. neighborhood analytics created in 2002. The site offers neighborhood reports and a search function.
The website is owned and operated by Location, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts.
History
Andrew Schiller conceived NeighborhoodScout while working on his doctorate in geography at Clark University in Worcester, MA.
In an interview with Inman News, Schiller discusses that he used to move around often for jobs or for school, and was often in a position to make expensive decisions about the best places in which to buy or rent. “But asking friends or real estate professionals always led to answers that were an inaccurate mix of what my friend or agent thought I wanted, combined with what they themselves want in a neighborhood. As a result, the suggestions were never right.” Schiller founded Location, Inc. in 2000 and launched Neighborhoodscout.com in 2002.
By 2006, Location, Inc. reported that NeighborhoodScout had nearly 70,000 subscribers and had served over 1 million users since inception. In 2015, NeighborhoodScout reported to serve over 1 million users each month. NeighborhoodScout earns revenue from customer subscriptions and advertising. They also refer homebuyers to real estate agents and collect a referral fee when they transact on a home.
Media Attention
In 2003, The Wall Street Journal used NeighborhoodScout in an example of how more homebuyers are turning to the web, rather than their agents, to find real estate data to fuel their decisions. In 2008, real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran listed NeighborhoodScout as one of the "best real estate sites." NeighborhoodScout lists have been published in Bloomberg Business, Forbes, CNBC, TIME, the Wall Street Journal, CBS and CNN Money.
In 2011, financial journalist Stacey Bradford of CBS MoneyWatch featured NeighborhoodScout and CEO Schiller in a How-To article about finding the best neighborhood. Bradford counseled readers that sites like NeighborhoodScout are helpful at providing the type of information about areas that real estate agents are prohibited from divulging because of the Fair Housing Act.
Controversy over Racial and Ethnic Data
In 2014, NeighborhoodScout released a feature that allows users to filter neighborhood by crime statistics, school quality, housing values, and demographic characteristics such as languages, ethnicity, race, and income. The feature was criticized by the National Fair Housing Alliance who were concerned that showing racial statistics on real estate websites may steer homebuyers to filter their searches based on race. The CEO of NeighborhoodScout contested the claim it violates the Fair Housing Act, and said the site could actually help to promote integration. In an interview with Inman News on the topic, Schiller noted that searching for areas based on race and ethnicity is “not necessarily contemptible,” and provided an example of a Korean custome |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%20Fetter | William Fetter, also known as William Alan Fetter or Bill Fetter (March 14, 1928June 23, 2002), was an American graphic designer and pioneer in the field of computer graphics. He explored the perspective fundamentals of computer animation of a human figure from 1960 on and was the first to create a human figure as a 3D model. The First Man was a pilot in a short 1964 computer animation, also known as Boeing Man and now as Boeman by the Boeing company. Fetter preferred the term "Human Figure" for the pilot. In 1960, working in a team supervised by Verne Hudson, he helped coin the term Computer graphics. He was art director at the Boeing Company in Wichita.
Life
Born in Independence, Missouri, Fetter attended school in Englewood and graduated in 1945 from Northeast High School in Kansas City. He studied at the University of Illinois where he was awarded a BA in graphic design in 1952. His professional career started while studying at the University of Illinois Press (UIP), an American university press. Employed there from 1952-1954, even at this early date he thought of using computers as a tool for his work as a graphic designer. He wrote in 1966:
In 1954, he became art director for Family Weekly magazine in Chicago. In his article "Computer Graphics at Boeing" for Print magazine he wrote that he was interested in developing a computer program that could simplify the designing of the magazine in the closing stages. Together with a computer manager, he worked on the development of a program but before the project was completed, Fetter accepted employment as art director of Boeing in Wichita in 1959.
Computer Graphics
Morphology
"In 1960, 'we' at Boeing coined the term computer graphics", wrote Fetter in a 1966 issue of Print magazine. In the article he wrote about the team involved. Over time, Fetter received universal credit as the first person to use the term "computer graphics". He later recognized the need to unequivocally make clear that Verne L. Hudson, his superior in the development team, used the words first. Boeing also notes that Verne L. Hudson was the first to coin the term.
In a 1966 editorial in the special "The designer and the computer" issue of Print magazine, editor Martin Fox explained the semantic difference, the meaning and interpretation of the words "graphics" and "design", as used by traditional graphic designers and designers, in contrast to how they were used by the new generation of computer graphic designers.
Computer Graphics
From the start of the 1950s, successful developments were underway in controlling machines with computers for industrial production. Subsequent development of computer aided design programs for 2D and 3D production drawings began in the mid-50s. In 1959, Fetter was recruited by Boeing as art director of the CAD department to explore creative new ideas for the production of 3D drawings.
He created a new concept of drawing perspectives. Supported by Walter Bernhardt, assistant profess |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldenburger%20Computer-Museum | The Oldenburg Computer Museum (OCM) is a museum founded in 2008 in Oldenburg (Oldb), Lower-Saxony, Germany that is dedicated to the preservation and operational presentation of the history of home computing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdAway | AdAway is a free and open-source ad-blocking application for the Android mobile operating system.
History
It was started in June 2011 by Dominik Schürmann but is now maintained by other developers. In 2013, it was removed from the Google Play store along with other ad blocking apps. After its removal, AdAway used the app store F-Droid to serve downloads.
Features
AdAway blocks ads using hosts files from various locations and combines them automatically. The user is able to block or trust additional domains, or add a new hosts file altogether. There is an option to log DNS requests to help in this task. AdAway requires in the actual version 5.10.0 either root access (because the hosts file is in the system partition) or the use of DNS, which is provided by AdAway itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control%20Program%20Facility | Control Program Facility (CPF) is the operating system of the IBM System/38. CPF represented an independendent line of development at IBM Rochester, and was unrelated to the earlier and more widely used System Support Program operating system. CPF evolved into the OS/400 operating system, which was originally known as XPF (Extended CPF).
While CPF is considered to be the operating system of the System/38, much of the hardware and resource management of the platform is implemented in the System/38's Horizontal and Vertical Microcode.
Description of the libraries
QGPL – general purpose library
QSYS – system library
QSPL – spooling library
QTEMP – temporary library
QSRV – system service library
QRECOVERY – system recovery library
Data storage
In most computers prior to the System/38, and most modern ones, data stored on disk was stored in separate logical files. When data was added to a file it was written in the sector dedicated to this, or if the sector was full, on a new sector somewhere else.
The System/38 adopted the single-level store architecture, where main storage and disk storage are organized as one, from the abandoned IBM Future Systems project (FS). Every piece of data was stored separately and could be put anywhere on the system. There was no such thing as a physically contiguous file on disk, and the operating system managed the storage and recall of all data elements.
Capability-based addressing
CPF was an example of a commercially-available Capability-based operating system. System/38 was one of the few commercial computers with capability-based addressing. Capability-based addressing was removed in the follow-on OS/400 operating system.
Distributed Data Management
In 1986, System/38 announced support for Distributed Data Management Architecture (DDM). Such a middleware in the context of a distributed system is the software layer that lies between the operating system and applications. Distributed Data Management Architecture defines an environment for sharing data. This enables System/38 programs to create, manage, and access record-oriented files on remote System/36, System/38, and IBM mainframe systems running CICS. It also allows programs on remote System/36 and System/38 computers to create, manage, and access files of a System/38.
Programming languages
Languages supported on the System/38 included RPG III, COBOL, BASIC, and PL/I. CPF also implements the Control Language for System/38.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSI%3A%20Cyber%20%28season%201%29 | The first season of CSI: Cyber premiered on CBS on March 4, 2015, and concluded on May 13, 2015. The season, starring Patricia Arquette, aired in multiple time slots, but its regular time slot was Wednesdays at 10:00 pm (ET).
Plot
The first season of Cyber follows the work of Mary Aiken inspired Special Agent in Charge Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette), who leads an FBI division tasked with working on the dark web, investigating everything from online baby auctions ("Kidnapping 2.0"), to the disabling of roller-coaster safeguards ("CMND:\CRASH"), the world of black market weaponry ("Ghost in the Machine"), the death of those using a transport app ("Killer En Route"), and a design flaw in a printer ("Fire Code"). Focusing on the psychological aspects of computer forensics, Ryan uses her experience as a Ph.D. to get inside the mind of the subjects she pursues, battling bombings ("Crowd Sourced"), electronic crime scene tampering ("The Evil Twin"), cyber-bullying ("URL Interrupted"), pop-ups ("Click Your Poison"), planes ("L0m1s"), and bit coins ("Bit by Bit"), all with the knowledge that her own past threatens to put her, and her colleagues, at risk ("Selfie 2.0", "Family Secrets"). Ryan and her team, Elijah Mundo (James Van Der Beek), Daniel Krumitz (Charley Koontz), Raven Ramirez (Hayley Kiyoko), and Brody Nelson (Shad Moss), work under the watchful eye of Assistant Deputy Director Simon Sifter (Peter MacNicol), a shrewd career agent who built his career investigating gang violence and gun crime.
There is generally a jargon of the cyber world, with its explanation, that shows as subtitles right after the title of the series displays in each episode, except for the first episode of Season 1. It reveals that the story in the episode will be relative to this jargon.
Production
On February 18, 2014, CBS announced plans to launch a new spin-off of the franchise titled CSI: Cyber. CBS announced that it officially picked up the series on May 10, 2014. On March 5, 2014, Patricia Arquette was cast as Special Agent Avery Ryan. Charlie Koontz was the next actor to be cast, playing a character then named Daniel Krumitz Peter MacNicol joined the cast on August 1, 2014, as Sifter, Van Der Beek was later cast as the male lead, in the role of Elijah Mundo. Shad Moss announced his casting on August 20, 2014, via his Instagram account. Kiyoko was cast on October 29, 2014. Peter MacNicol departed the main cast at the end of this season, The first season, of thirteen episodes, premiered in March 2015. The series is executive produced by creators Carol Mendelsohn, Anthony E. Zuiker, and Ann Donahue, former CSI: NY executive producer Pam Veasey (who acts as showrunner), Jonathan Littman, and Jerry Bruckheimer. Mary Aiken, on whom the show is based, is attached as a series producer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra%20Life%20%28fundraiser%29 | Extra Life is a fundraising event, the proceeds of which go to branches of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. 100% of all donations go directly to the hospitals.
Extra Life was formed in 2008 to honor Victoria , who died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It was aided by the Sarcastic Gamer community, who sent gifts and video games to her.
The main premise of the event is that group or teams get together and play different types of games for a 24 hour marathon. Many of these users will live-stream their game-play and activities on the platform Twitch. During this process, players will ask for donations that will then be sent to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Groups that participate range from Austin, Texas media company Rooster Teeth, to East Carolina University Board Gaming Society, and donations are given through cash or credit donation. Many participants have connections to the hospitals that they chose to highlight and donate their proceeds to and some donation pages continue to accept donations until December 31 of the year of the event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Mood%20and%20Feelings%20Questionnaire | The Mood and Feelings Questionnaire is a survey that measures depressive symptoms in children and young adults. It was developed by Adrian Angold and Elizabeth J. Costello in 1987, and validity data were gathered as part of the Great Smokey Mountain epidemiological study in Western North Carolina. The questionnaire consists of a variety of statements describing feelings or behaviors that may manifest as depressive symptoms in children between the ages of 6 and 17. The subject is asked to indicate how much each statement applies to their recent experiences. The Mood and Feelings Questionnaire has six versions, short (13 item) and long (33 item) forms of each of the following: a youth self-report, a version that a parent would complete, and a self-report version for adults. Several peer-reviewed studies have found the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire to be a reliable and valid measure of depression in children. Compared to many other depression scales for youth, it has more extensive coverage of symptoms and more age-appropriate wording and content.
Scoring and interpretation
The Mood and Feelings Questionnaire has several tests, one short and one long, with the short questionnaire including 13 questions and the long questionnaire consisting of 33 questions. Scoring of the questionnaire works by summing the point values allocated to each question. The responses and their allocated point values are as follows:
"not true" = 0 points
"somewhat true" = 1 point
"true" = 2 points
Scores on the short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire range from 0 to 26, whereas scores on the long version range from 0 to 66. Higher score are indicative of increased depressive symptom severity. Scores larger than 12 on the short version or larger than 27 on the long version are suggestive of likely depression and warrant further clinical assessment.
Validity
The Mood and Feelings Questionnaire, along with the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire, shows reasonable psychometric properties for identifying children in early adolescence with a depressive disorder. Secondly, it does not significantly differentiate between children with depression versus children with anxiety disorders. Finally, the questionnaire has been translated into Arabic, Spanish and Norwegian, but testing of these versions is more limited.
Limitations
Questionnaires like the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire should not act as a substitute for thorough clinical evaluations for both the child and parent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross%20Watson%20%28game%20designer%29 | Ross Watson (born May 22, 1975) is a designer of computer, miniature and role-playing games and a writer in various genres. Watson worked on the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line as the Lead Developer for Dark Heresy, was the lead designer for Rogue Trader and Deathwatch, and was part of the design team for Black Crusade. He was the lead developer for both Aaron Allston's Strike Force and Savage Worlds Rifts. His written works include the Accursed and Weird War I settings for Savage Worlds, contributions to the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG, and the video games Darksiders II, Warhammer 40,000: Regicide, and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. Watson has designed rules and scenarios for miniature game lines, such as Dust Warfare, and he has written for several card games, including Warhammer: Invasion, Empire Engine, and the Lost Legacy series.
Personal life
Watson was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He has been a lifelong gamer, starting at age 11. His first year of employment was as a landscaper/lawn mower in Hot Springs, Arksansas.
Beginnings in role-playing games
Watson was introduced to role-playing games by his father in Evanston, Wyoming during 1986. He started out playing Dungeons & Dragons, and by the time he was in high school, he was playing several different systems at the same time: Robotech, TMNT, Rifts, Star Wars, and Marvel Super Heroes. Watson was often asked to come up with the stories and adventures for these games during lunch, building his ability to improvise and connect narratives.
Watson said, "My father brought home this red box labeled ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ He told me that ‘it looked interesting,’ and that I should ‘really learn how to play it.’ So I did."
Watson first became interested in wargaming during high school. During his enlistment in the US Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Watson became involved with a local group playing Warhammer 40,000. Since 1999, he has been a miniature war-gaming enthusiast.
Career
D20
Watson's involvement in the Louisville, Kentucky gaming scene led to his employment as the D20 Line Editor at Citizen Games. He helped develop and write several products for Citizen Games and parlayed that success into freelance writing for other companies such as Atlas Games and Fantasy Flight Games.
Watson wrote for several D20 projects, including the Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary, Sorcery & Steam, and the award-winning Dawnforge: Crucible of Legend. Wizards of the Coast tapped Watson to edit the Complete Divine sourcebook for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5.
Games Workshop
In late 2003, Watson was employed as a copywriter/editor at Games Workshop in Glen Burnie, Maryland. He joined the US White Dwarf team creating content for the magazine for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Fantasy, and The Lord of the Rings Fantasy Battle Game.
Fantasy Flight Games
Watson was hired in 2008 by Fantasy Flight Games after that company acquired the license for Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay. He joined the company as the Lead Developer for Dark Heresy |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL | A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially known as an address on the Web, is a reference to a resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), although many people use the two terms interchangeably. URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (HTTP/HTTPS) but are also used for file transfer (FTP), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications.
Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar. A typical URL could have the form http://www.example.com/index.html, which indicates a protocol (http), a hostname (www.example.com), and a file name (index.html).
History
Uniform Resource Locators were defined in in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, and the URI working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), as an outcome of collaboration started at the IETF Living Documents birds of a feather session in 1992.
The format combines the pre-existing system of domain names (created in 1985) with file path syntax, where slashes are used to separate directory and filenames. Conventions already existed where server names could be prefixed to complete file paths, preceded by a double slash (//).
Berners-Lee later expressed regret at the use of dots to separate the parts of the domain name within URIs, wishing he had used slashes throughout, and also said that, given the colon following the first component of a URI, the two slashes before the domain name were unnecessary.
Early WorldWideWeb collaborators including Berners-Lee originally proposed the use of UDIs: Universal Document Identifiers.
An early (1993) draft of the HTML Specification referred to "Universal" Resource Locators. This was dropped some time between June 1994 () and October 1994 (draft-ietf-uri-url-08.txt). In his book Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee emphasizes his preference for the original inclusion of "universal" in the expansion rather than the word "uniform", to which it was later changed, and he gives a brief account of the contention that led to the change.
Syntax
Every HTTP URL conforms to the syntax of a generic URI.
A web browser will usually dereference a URL by performing an HTTP request to the specified host, by default on port number 80. URLs using the https scheme require that requests and responses be made over a secure connection to the website.
Internationalized URL
Internet users are distributed throughout the world using a wide variety of languages and alphabets, and expect to be able to create URLs in their own local alphabets. An Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI) is a form of URL that includes Unicode characters. All modern browsers support IRIs. The parts of the URL requiring special treatment for different alphabets are the domain name and path.
The domain name in the IRI is known as an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN). Web and Internet softwa |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silex%20%28web%20framework%29 | Silex is a micro web framework written in PHP and based on Symfony, Twig (template engine) and Doctrine (database abstraction). It is no longer supported since June 2018.
The general purpose of Silex is to be as lightweight as you need it to be, as it is made for it to be as easy as possible to add features and extend the Silex base. Silex can be used for the creation of small web applications (e.g. REST APIs) as this is the main case for micro frameworks, however Silex can be extended into a full stack MVC framework.
Silex comes in two available versions; 'fat' and 'slim'. The difference between these being that the fat version is fully featured and includes database abstraction, a template engine and various Symfony components. Whereas the slim version just comes with a basic routing engine.
Features
The base feature set is a URL routing system, built-in Web Security, Sessions and Cookies abstraction. The extended version of Silex features integration of Twig, Doctrine, a Translation service for translating your application into different languages, a logging mechanism using the Monolog library to log requests and errors, services for form validation and generation, and more.
History
Silex was originally created by Fabien Potencier, the creator of the Symfony framework, and Igor Wiedler. It was first released as a 'web framework proof-of-concept'.
Silex was at its time one of the best known micro frameworks for PHP and was regularly placed among the fastest in benchmarks for micro framework comparisons.
Silex became end-of-life in June 2018 with people being encouraged to use Symfony instead.
Example
The following code shows a simple web application that prints "Hello World!":
$app = new Silex\Application();
$app->get('/', function() use($app) {
return 'Hello World!';
});
$app->run();

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark%20data | Dark data is data which is acquired through various computer network operations but not used in any manner to derive insights or for decision making. The ability of an organisation to collect data can exceed the throughput at which it can analyse the data. In some cases the organisation may not even be aware that the data is being collected. IBM estimate that roughly 90 percent of data generated by sensors and analog-to-digital conversions never get used.
In an industrial context, dark data can include information gathered by sensors and telematics.
Organizations retain dark data for a multitude of reasons, and it is estimated that most companies are only analyzing 1% of their data. Often it is stored for regulatory compliance and record keeping. Some organizations believe that dark data could be useful to them in the future, once they have acquired better analytic and business intelligence technology to process the information. Because storage is inexpensive, storing data is easy. However, storing and securing the data usually entails greater expenses (or even risk) than the potential return profit.
In academic discourse, the term dark data was essentially coined by Bryan P. Heidorn. He uses it to describe research data, especially from the long tail of science (the many, small research projects), which are not or no longer available for research because they disappear in a drawer without adequate data management. Without this, the data become dark, and further reasons for this are e.g. missing metadata annotation, missing data management plans and data curators.
Analysis
The term "dark data" very often refers to data that is not amenable to computer processing. For example, a company might have a great deal of data that exists only as scanned page-images. Even the bare text in such documents is not available without something like Optical character recognition, which can vary greatly in accuracy. Even with OCR, the significance of each part of the data is unavailable. An obvious examples is whether a capitalized word is a name or not, and if so, whether it represents a person, place, organization, or even a work of art. Bibliographic and other references, data within tables (that may be labeled quite adequately for humans, but not for processing), and countless assertions represented with the full complexity and ambiguity of human language.
A lot of unused data is very valuable, and would be used if it could be; but is blocked because it is in formats that are difficult to process, categorise, identify, and analyse. Often the reason that business does not use their dark data is because of the amount of resources it would take and the difficulty of having that data analysed. In other words, the data is "dark" not because it is not used, but because it cannot (feasibly or affordably) be used, given its poor representation.
There are many data representations that can make data much more accessible for automation. However, a great deal of |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSI%3A%20Cyber%20%28season%202%29 | The second and final season of CSI: Cyber premiered on October 4, 2015. The series stars Patricia Arquette, James Van Der Beek, Shad Moss, Charley Koontz, Hayley Kiyoko, and Ted Danson.
Plot
The second season of Cyber follows the work Avery Ryan (Patricia Arquette), as she and the team welcome D.B. Russell (Ted Danson), a Las Vegas veteran Crime Scene Investigator recruited by Ryan to direct the FBI's Next Generation Cyber Forensics Division. Still grieving the loss of his best friend ("Hack ER"), and following a recent divorce, Russell decides to take on new challenges. Studying how crimes play out in the real world, he combines old school forensics with new school tech, providing a foil for Ryan who, this season, faces the prospect of losing her own ex-husband ("The Walking Dead"). Before being faced with the collapse of the federal government ("Legacy"), Ryan and Russell investigate a murder recorded on motion sensors ("Why-Fi"), a riot in a small town ("Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes"), questionable social media activity ("5 Deadly Sins"), child abduction ("Red Crone"), the death of a jogger ("Fit-and-Run"), a murder on webcam ("Corrupted Memory"), a series of bizarre banking hacks ("Shades of Grey"), and a death linked to an online forum ("iWitness"), all while entering the worlds of street racing ("Gone in 6 Seconds") and online dating ("Heart Me"). Later, Daniel Krumitz (Charley Koontz) and Brody Nelson (Shad Moss) meet a celebrity during an investigation into airline hacking ("404: Flight Not Found"), the team aid the NYPD when cell-phone hacking causes a citywide incident ("Going Viral"), Russell connects with a Private Investigator ("Flash Squad"), and Ryan's first case as FBI Deputy Director pits her against Python ("Python"), who infiltrates the FBI and puts the team, also including Raven Ramirez (Hayley Kiyoko) and Elijah Mundo (James Van Der Beek), at risk ("Python's Revenge").
Production
CBS announced on May 11, 2015, that CSI: Cyber was renewed for a second season. The season premiered in October 2015, while the series continues to be executive produced by creators Carol Mendelsohn, Anthony E. Zuiker, and Ann Donahue, former CSI: NY executive producer Pam Veasey (who acts as showrunner), Jonathan Littman, and Jerry Bruckheimer. Mary Aiken, on whom the show is based, remains attached as a series producer. The season was originally supposed to have 22 episodes, but this was later reduced to 18. Following the cancellation of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation it was also announced that Ted Danson would be joining the cast of "CSI: Cyber" as D.B. Russell, the newly appointed Director of Next Generation Cyber Forensics. Danson later announced his intent to depart the CSI franchise at the end of Cyber's second season, while Arquette simultaneously signed on for four film projects. On May 12, 2016, CBS canceled the series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum-tube%20computer | A vacuum-tube computer, now termed a first-generation computer, is a computer that uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry. While the history of mechanical aids to computation goes back centuries, if not millennia, the history of vacuum tube computers is confined to the middle of the 20th century. Lee De Forest invented the triode in 1906. The first example of using vacuum tubes for computation, the Atanasoff–Berry computer, was demonstrated in 1939. Vacuum-tube computers were initially one-of-a-kind designs, but commercial models were introduced in the 1950s and sold in volumes ranging from single digits to thousands of units. By the early 1960s vacuum tube computers were obsolete, superseded by second-generation transistorized computers.
Much of what we now consider part of digital computing evolved during the vacuum tube era. Initially, vacuum tube computers performed the same operations as earlier mechanical computers, only at much higher speeds. Gears and mechanical relays operate in milliseconds, whereas vacuum tubes can switch in microseconds. The first departure from what was possible prior to vacuum tubes was the incorporation of large memories that could store thousands of bits of data and randomly access them at high speeds. That, in turn, allowed the storage of machine instructions in the same memory as data—the stored program concept, a breakthrough which today is a hallmark of digital computers.
Other innovations included the use of magnetic tape to store large volumes of data in compact form (UNIVAC I) and the introduction of random access secondary storage (IBM RAMAC 305), the direct ancestor of all the hard disk drives we use today. Even computer graphics began during the vacuum tube era with the IBM 740 CRT Data Recorder and the Whirlwind light pen. Programming languages originated in the vacuum tube era, including some still used today such as Fortran & Lisp (IBM 704), Algol (Z22) and COBOL. Operating systems, such as the GM-NAA I/O, also were born in this era.
Development
The use of cross-coupled vacuum-tube amplifiers to produce a train of pulses was described by Eccles and Jordan in 1918. This circuit became the basis of the flip-flop, a circuit with two states that became the fundamental element of electronic binary digital computers.
The Atanasoff–Berry computer, a prototype of which was first demonstrated in 1939, is now credited as the first vacuum-tube computer. However, it was not a general-purpose computer, being able to only solve a system of linear equations, and was also not very reliable.
During World War II, special-purpose vacuum-tube digital computers such as Colossus were used to break German machine (teleprinter) ciphers known as Fish. The military intelligence gathered by these systems was essential to the Allied war effort. By the end of the war 10 Mark II COLOSSI were in use at Bletchley Park; they superseded the Heath Robinson. Each COLOSSI used 1,600 vacuum tubes (Mark I) and 2,400 vacuum tubes (Mar |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced%20privacy%20ID | Enhanced Privacy ID (EPID) is Intel Corporation's recommended algorithm for attestation of a trusted system while preserving privacy. It has been incorporated in several Intel chipsets since 2008 and Intel processors since 2011. At RSAC 2016 Intel disclosed that it has shipped over 2.4B EPID keys since 2008. EPID complies with international standards ISO/IEC 20008 / 20009, and the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) TPM 2.0 for authentication. Intel contributed EPID intellectual property to ISO/IEC under RAND-Z terms. Intel is recommending that EPID become the standard across the industry for use in authentication of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and in December 2014 announced that it was licensing the technology to third-party chip makers to broadly enable its use.
EPID
EPID is an enhancement of the Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) algorithm. DAA is a digital signature algorithm supporting anonymity. Unlike traditional digital signature algorithms, in which each entity has a unique public verification key and a unique private signature key, DAA provides a common group public verification key associated with many (typically millions) of unique private signature keys. DAA was created so that a device could prove to an external party what kind of device it is (and optionally what software is running on the device) without needing to provide device identity, i.e., to prove you are an authentic member of a group without revealing which member. EPID enhances DAA by providing an additional utility of being able to revoke a private key given a signature created by that key, even if the key itself is still unknown.
Background
In 1999 the Pentium III added a Processor Serial Number (PSN) as a way to create identity for security of endpoints on the internet. However, privacy advocates were especially concerned and Intel chose to remove the feature in later versions. Building on improving asymmetric cryptography of the time and group keys, Intel Labs researched and then standardized a way to get to the benefits of PSN while preserving privacy.
Roles
There are three roles when using EPID: Issuer, Member and Verifier. The issuer is the entity that issues unique EPID private keys for each member of a group. The member is the entity that is trying to prove its membership in a group. The verifier is the entity who is checking an EPID signature to establish whether it was signed by an entity or device which is an authentic member of the group. Current usage by Intel has the Intel Key Generation Facility as the Issuer, an Intel-based PC with embedded EPID key as a member, and a server (possibly running in the cloud) as the verifier (on behalf of some party that wishes to know that it is communicating with some trusted component in a device).
Key issuing options
The issuing of an EPID key can be done directly by the issuer creating an EPID key and delivering securely to the member, or blinded so that the issuer does not know the EPID private key. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHHU-FM | CHHU-FM is a radio station which broadcasts multicultural and multilingual programming at 99.1 MHz in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The station is owned by Radio Moyen-Orient (Middle East Radio) and licensed to Antoine "Tony" Karam (on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated), who received CRTC approval on September 15, 2015.
CHHU plans on broadcasting programming in ten languages, though its main target audience will be Halifax's Arabic-speaking community, as the station broadcasts only in Arabic during the day and in other languages at night. CHHU currently has no studio in the Halifax area, though they intend on building one in the future; in the interim, programming will originate from a dedicated studio at its Montreal sister station, CHOU.
CHHU began testing on 99.1 MHz on Friday, February 26, 2016; and regular broadcasting started in April 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigamon | Gigamon is a privately held company with products that deliver network-derived intelligence and insights to cloud, security, observability, and network management tools. It is the leader in the deep observability market. Formerly traded publicly, it is now owned by Elliott Management and headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
History
Gigamon LLC was founded in 2004 and was originally operated by Gigamon Systems, LLC. In 2009, Gigamon converted from a limited liability company to a corporation and changed its name to Gigamon Inc. It is currently led by President and CEO, Shane Buckley.
In July 2012 the company filed for an IPO, and then went public on June 11, 2013 on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GIMO”. During the initial public offering on June 12, 2013, investors bought 6.75 million shares priced at $19 each, generating $128 million in sales.
In 2015, Gigamon introduced its formalized Partner Program. At the time, the company already had 220 partners in North America and more in other countries. That same year, Gigamon moved its headquarters to Santa Clara and doubled the size of its operations.
Gigamon officials rang the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange on February 24, 2016. That year, Gigamon had almost $311 million in revenue, up from $68 million in 2011.
In January 2018, the company was acquired by Elliott Management Corporation and The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) for US$1.6 billion. That same year the company entered the network detection and response (NDR) market when it acquired the startup ICEBRG. In February 2022, the company announced a series of enhancements to ThreatINSIGHT that included providing 365-date rich network metadata retention to provide SOC teams with historical data and tools to use that data to identify adversary activity. In December 2022, Gigamon sold ThreatINSIGHT to Fortinet.
In 2019, Gigamon products were deployed in over 80% of Fortune 100 companies. Two years later, in December 2021, Gigamon partnered with Cirrus Networks to offer managed security services to governments and large enterprises in Australia. The initial three-year partnership focused on the following industries: government, mining, financial services, and education.
Products
Gigamon develops physical and virtual network visibility technologies, including network TAP and aggregation products, traffic manipulation applications, and visibility fabric nodes. Its product families have included Deep Observability (originally Hawk), GigaVUE (GigaVUE Cloud Suite and GigaVUE Appliances), GigaSMART, and GigaVUE-FM.
In 2014, the company added “Active Visibility” features to its visibility fabrics. With its Active Visibility, Gigamon could decrypt SSL traffic, better provide multi-tier security, and support 100 Gig-E and 40-Gig E networks.
In April 2015, the company released the framework Software Defined Visibility to be used by customers, security and network equipment vendors, and managed service providers. It ca |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATCH%20%28HTTP%29 | In computing, the PATCH method is a request method in HTTP for making partial changes to an existing resource. The PATCH method provides an entity containing a list of changes to be applied to the resource requested using the HTTP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The list of changes are supplied in the form of a PATCH document. If the requested resource does not exist then the server may create the resource depending on the PATCH document media type and permissions. The changes described in the PATCH document must be semantically well defined but can have a different media type than the resource being patched. Languages such as XML or JSON can be used in describing the changes in the PATCH document.
History of PATCH
As per the semantics defined in the HTTP protocol, the GET, PUT, and POST methods need to use a full representation of the resource. The PUT method which can be used for resource creation or replacement is idempotent and can be used only for full updates. The edit forms used in conventional Ruby on Rails application need to create new resources by applying partial updates to a parent resource. Due to this requirement, the PATCH method was added to the HTTP protocol in 2010.
PUT vs PATCH vs POST
HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. It is a request-response protocol which helps users communicate with the server to perform CRUD operations. HTTP defines a number of request methods such as PUT, POST and PATCH to create or update resources.
The main difference between the PUT and PATCH method is that the PUT method uses the request URI to supply a modified version of the requested resource which replaces the original version of the resource, whereas the PATCH method supplies a set of instructions to modify the resource. If the PATCH document is larger than the size of the new version of the resource sent by the PUT method then the PUT method is preferred.
The POST method can be used for sending partial updates to a resource. The main difference between the POST and PATCH methods is that the POST method can be used only when it is written to support the applications or the applications support its semantics whereas the PATCH method can be used in a generic way and does not require application support. If the outcome of using the PATCH method is not known then the POST method is preferred.
Patching resources
The PATCH method is atomic. Either all the changes specified by the PATCH method are applied or none of the changes are applied by the server. There are many ways of checking whether a patch was applied successfully. For example, the 'diff' utility can be applied to the older version and newer version of a file to find the differences between them.
A cached PATCH response is considered stale. It can only be used for the GET and HEAD requests that may follow the PATCH request.
The entity headers in the PATCH document are only applicable to the PATCH document and cannot be applied to the requeste |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anipang | Anipang is a South Korean mobile puzzle game available through Cyworld Appstore and Naver Social Apps.
Anipang is a social network game in which users compete with each other. It was developed by SundayToz. Service began on 11 October 2012, and within 74 days, the game had been downloaded more than 20 million times, making it the first South Korean game to achieve that milestone. On the strength of popularity, Sunday Toz has released a sequel titled "Anipang 2". This game is under consideration for entering the North American market.
Cause of popularity
The first aspect is that this game is a short-term game, with sessions lasting one minute. Therefore, this game is good for passing the time when commuting or going outside to subways or bus stations. The second aspect relates to social networking services. This game is based on the Kakao Talk system, so users can send messages to their friends related on kakaotalk friends. Also, Anipangs structure is simple and middle-aged people prefer to play this game.
Controversy and influence
Anipang has been criticised by mass media in South Korea, because its basic structure is very similar to other mobile games. As a result, mass media and broadcasting people have accused the developers of copying other companies' ideas. Another controversy has arisen over the gambling system; for example, Anipang: The Sichuan has a structure similar to the game of mahjong. and there are other problems because of the bug. This bug programme causes the high score to rise automatically.
Impact
This game was released in 2011 and became popular in South Korea mobile market, because Anipang is the first mobile game based on a social networking system in that market. There were over 5,000,000 users in 2011, and more people took part in and enjoyed this game after years. There are now over 20,000,000 users, the highest number of users in the mobile game market in South Korea. The stock price of the developer SundayToz has risen rapidly over the past three years. Sunday Toz has opened an Anipang pop-up store in a department store in South Korea. In 2015, Anipang 2 entered the overseas mobile market, reaching countries such as Japan and China. The community application 'Line' helped to spread Anipang.
Sequels
The first sequel to the original Anipang, Anipang Sanghai, had a game structure based on the original Anipang. There were more than one million advance bookings for downloads of Anipang Sanghai prior to its release.
The second sequel to the original Anipang was Anipang Matgo. This game is based on a traditional Korean card game called hwatu matgo, while the design is similar to other Anipang games.
The third sequel to the original Anipang was Anipang: The Sichuan. This game is based on the program named Sichuan. This game is similar to the Chinese game mahjong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linotte | Linotte is an interpreted 4th generation programming language. Linotte's syntax is in French.
The language's goal is to allow French-speaking children and other francophones with little computer science experience to easily learn programming, with the slogan (in French) "you know how to read a book, so you can write a computer program".
Vocabulary
Linotte uses a non-technical vocabulary entirely in French. Its terms are closer to those used in film or literature, with a program being a book, a variable being an actor, and the screen a canvas. Instead of executing a book, it is read.
The function body starts at "début", French for "start". Keywords
that in other languages might be named things "print" or "log" in Linotte are named things like "affiche", French for "display":
BonjourLeMonde:
début
affiche "Bonjour le monde !"
Similarly, a program can "demande", or ask, to prompt the user to enter a value.
Capabilities
Linotte also supports things like networking and graphics, and even contains a web templating engine that allows the mixing of HTML and Linotte in the same file, much like PHP or JSP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE%20Live%20from%20Madison%20Square%20Garden | Live from Madison Square Garden, also called Live from MSG: Lesnar vs. Big Show, was a professional wrestling live event produced by WWE. It was livestreamed exclusively on the WWE Network. The event took place on October 3, 2015, and was broadcast from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. It was hailed as part of Brock Lesnar's "Go To Hell Tour" as well as his return to Madison Square Garden in his first match in the arena since his original departure from the company in 2004. The event also marked the 25th anniversary of Chris Jericho's debut in professional wrestling.
Nine matches were contested at the event, as well as two dark matches. In the main event, John Cena defeated Seth Rollins in a steel cage match to retain the WWE United States Championship. In another prominent match for which the event was promoted around, Brock Lesnar defeated Big Show. Also on the undercard, Kevin Owens defeated Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) defeated WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) by disqualification, thus The New Day kept their title.
Production
Background
Live from Madison Square Garden was originally scheduled as a non-televised house show produced by WWE. The event was aptly named as it was scheduled to be held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York on October 3, 2015. As part of a feud between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker going into the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view later that same month, WWE decided to air the event as a WWE Network-exclusive special and promoted the event as part of Lesnar's "Go To Hell Tour." This was also Lesnar's return to Madison Square Garden in his first match in the arena since his original departure from the company in 2004. As such, the event was also called Live from MSG: Lesnar vs. Big Show, as Lesnar was scheduled to face Big Show at the event. The event also marked the 25th anniversary of Chris Jericho's debut in professional wrestling.
Storylines
The card consisted of nine matches, including two on the preshow, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers. Storylines played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.
The event featured Brock Lesnar in a match with Big Show, which was Lesnar's first match at Madison Square Garden since WrestleMania XX in March 2004. Lesnar and Show previously had a feud in January 2014 after Show confronted Lesnar on the January 6 episode of Raw. There was a short physical confrontation between the two, starting a feud which was settled at the Royal Rumble 2014, where Show lost to Lesnar after being brutally assaulted with numerous steel chairs before the match began.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Korsunsky%20Work-of-Indentation%20Approach | The Korsunsky work-of-indentation approach is a method of extracting values of hardness and stiffness for a small volume of material from indentation test data.
Instead of relying on measurements or assumptions pertaining to the observed area of contact between indenter and sample, the method uses the load-displacement data registered in the Continuously Recorded Indentation Testing (CRIT) that is particularly widely applied in nanoindentation experiments. In particular, the Korsunsky method re-defines hardness and expresses it in terms of the energy (work) associated with indenting the surface of a material by the probe. The work-of-indentation used in the analysis may refer to the total, elastic or dissipated energy, depending on the formulation. The approach was found to be particularly useful in the analysis of thin coatings, nano-multi-layers, nanoscale features.
The original application of the approach was developed for the problem of finding the composite hardness of a coated system. The composite hardness is known to vary depending on the applied load and or indentation depth. In the Korsunsky work-of-indentation approach, the composite hardness is given by a simple expression (the “knee function”) of the relative indentation depth (the indentation depth normalized with respect to the coating thickness), and the substrate and coating hardness. The function contains a single fitting parameter, which describes a wide range of composite and indenter properties such as coating brittleness, interfacial strength, indenter geometry, etc. This model of hardness determination has been successfully verified by numerous researchers investigating different coated systems.
This approach has undergone numerous modifications since its inception. Most recently, Jha et al. found that the Korsunsky work-of-indentation approach measures the nominal hardness of a material which is defined as the maximum load divided by the area of maximum contact. The nominal hardness of a material is different than its true hardness (determined by the Oliver-Pharr method), but the two concepts are interrelated. Jha et al derived an expression that determines the true hardness of a material from its nominal counterpart. In doing so, they employed a dimensionless energy-based parameter that relates the contact depth to the maximum depth of penetration. For a soft material, the difference between the contact depth and the maximum depth of penetration is small, and hence its nominal and true hardness values are practically the same. For a harder material these two types of hardness are different as the difference between them is large. The model proposed by Jha et al in its current form is applicable when the indenter is ideally sharp or when the maximum depth of penetration is sufficiently large compared to the indenter tip radius. The advantage of the modified work-of-indentation is that it does not require the computation of contact area, which is the main limitation of |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver%20Treyz | Oliver Ernest Treyz (April 23, 1918 – June 14, 1998) was an American network television executive. Treyz was best known as the racy and controversial president of the American Broadcasting Company. He was promoted from vice president to president in 1958 after the departure of James T. Aubrey. He served as network president until 1962.
During his two-year tenure as vice-president and his four-year tenure as president, Treyz was responsible for the creation of several popular and memorable programs including Adventures in Paradise, Cheyenne, Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside 6, Maverick, The Rifleman and The Untouchables.
Early life and early career
Oliver Ernest Treyz was born on April 23, 1918, in Willowemoc, New York to Harry August Treyz (September 25, 1889–May 26, 1959) and Martha née Davey (1891–1984). Treyz graduated from Hamilton College in 1939. After graduation, Treyz began his career in broadcasting working at a small radio station in Binghamton, New York. He then went to work at advertising agency BBDO. During World War II, Treyz served in the Army Air Corps.
After the war, in 1948, Treyz began his association with ABC as a presentation writer for the company's radio division. On November 2, 1953, he was named Director of the ABC Radio Network. Treyz left ABC in 1954 and became the founder and first president of the Television Bureau of Advertising, a trade group for local television stations.
Tenure with ABC Television
On October 17, 1956, Treyz succeeded Robert E. Kintner (1909–1980) as vice-president of the television division of the American Broadcasting Company. Kintner stepped down as president due to, what was termed as, "a dispute over policy".
The next year on February 17, 1958, Treyz filled in and took over the seat as president of ABC. That position had been filled by Leonard Goldenson, at the time, the president of American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres, ABC's former parent company, who took over after the sudden departure of former network president James T. Aubrey.
During his years as president on ABC, Treyz was responsible for the creation and production of several memorable shows of that era including Hawaiian Eye, 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside 6, Maverick, The Rifleman, The Untouchables, The Real McCoys and The Flintstones.
Bus Stop and resignation
Bus Stop premiered on ABC in October 1961. Several memorable episodes were produced during the show's single season run. But one in particular, A Lion Walks Among Us, was the end to Treyz's tenure as president of ABC.
The episode originally aired on December 3, 1961. It starred teenage heartthrob Fabian Forte and the synopsis of that episode was as follows: "Fabian plays a degenerate drifter capable only of deceit, betrayal and murder. To win acquittal of one charge of murder in the town, he had an affair with the D.A.'s alcoholic wife, and then used that to blackmail the D.A. Once released he killed his own lawyers. And in a perverse 'balance of justice', the D. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-Scada | B-Scada (or Beyond–Scada) is a company based in Crystal River, Florida. B-Scada's product offerings include on-premises Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) software platforms, a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) software platform, and wireless sensing hardware. It is one of the first companies to use data modeling in SCADA systems to create virtual representations of real world physical assets.
Data modeling
B-Scada uses data models as the basis of end users toolkits, which allow representations of assets with immediate interactions. It provides “templating,” where a data model is created for a type of object instead of for a specific object. Conventional HMI and SCADA products bind data from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or other data sources directly to the graphics. Data modeling in HMI/SCADA allows the virtualized model of assets to be bound to the HMI/SCADA screens. The PLC or OPC Server memory addresses plus any additional associated information can then be referenced at run time, allowing one generic data model template to be used for many different specific assets.
History
B-Scada was founded as Mobiform Software in 2003 by Ron DeSerranno, former Senior Software Engineer of Rockwell Software, Inc./Dynapro, Inc., where he served as the Development Lead and Architect for its industrial automation product, RSView.
Beyond SCADA
In October 2012, Mobiform Software announced it had changed its name to B-Scada (Beyond SCADA). It continued trading under the stock ticker symbol MOBS until announcing in October 2014 its new stock ticker symbol, SCDA.
Fuzz Mobile Marketing Solution
In July 2019, B-Scada launched Fuzz Mobile Marketing Solutions Inc., an online platform for sending bulk SMS messages.
