https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDM-GCC | TDM-GCC is a compiler suite for Microsoft Windows. It is a commonly recommended compiler in many books, both for beginners and more experienced programmers.
It combines the most recent stable release of the GCC toolset, a few patches for Windows-friendliness, and the free and open-source MinGW runtime APIs to create an open-source alternative to Microsoft's compiler and platform SDK. It is able to build 32-bit or 64-bit binaries, for any version of Windows since Windows 98.
TDM-GCC is a redistribution of components that are freely available elsewhere. A large difference is that it changes the default GCC libraries to be statically linked, and use a shared memory region for exception handling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20electronic%20laboratory%20notebook%20software%20packages | An electronic lab notebook (also known as electronic laboratory notebook, or ELN) is a computer program designed to replace paper laboratory notebooks. Lab notebooks in general are used by scientists, engineers, and technicians to document research, experiments, and procedures performed in a laboratory. A lab notebook is often maintained to be a legal document and may be used in a court of law as evidence. Similar to an inventor's notebook, the lab notebook is also often referred to in patent prosecution and intellectual property litigation.
Electronic lab notebooks are a fairly new technology and offer many benefits to the user as well as organizations. For example: electronic lab notebooks are easier to search upon, simplify data copying and backups, and support collaboration amongst many users.
ELNs can have fine-grained access controls, and can be more secure than their paper counterparts. They also allow the direct incorporation of data from instruments, replacing the practice of printing out data to be stapled into a paper notebook.
This is a list of ELN software packages. It is incomplete, as a recent review listed 96 active & 76 inactive (172 total) ELN products. Notably, this review and other lists of ELN software often do not include widely used generic notetaking software like Onenote, Notion, Jupyter etc, due to their lack ELN nominal features like time-stamping and append-only editing. Some ELNs are web-based; others are used on premise and a few are available for both environments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellevate%20Network | Ellevate Network (formerly 85 Broads) is a Global Community of women committed to fostering and promoting gender equality in the workplace. The organization provides women and femme-identifying, non-binary individuals with a community to lean on and learn from through networking, online and offline education, inspiration, and opportunity. Founded in 1997 to bring high-achieving women in finance together, the network now serves women across industries and around the world. Its CEO is Maricella Herrera.
As of December 2019, the organization has a community of over 150,000 women across the globe and has over 40 chapters primarily in the United States, with international locations in Dubai, London, Madrid, and Toronto.
History
Ellevate was founded in 1997 as 85 Broads by Janet Hanson. Hanson had formerly worked at Goldman Sachs and formed the organization as an alumnae network for women who had left the firm. The name came from the address of New York's Goldman Sachs office.
Sallie Krawcheck, former head of global wealth management at Merrill Lynch, acquired 85 Broads Unlimited LLC in 2013 and rebranded the organization as Ellevate in 2014. When Krawcheck acquired the network, it was broadly accepted as a move "that could send a shock wave through the financial services sector." Krawcheck responded by underlining the importance of women's engagement in economy and cited the year 2013 as a "tipping point" for women in the workplace. Following Krawcheck's acquisition, Hanson stayed involved with the organization as Chairman Emeritus and as an advisor to Krawcheck. The organization's name derives from the French pronoun "elle," meaning "she" and Ellevate's core purpose of elevating women at work.
Services
Ellevate Network hosts networking events around the world: Online webinars, online networking, and career advice on topics like creating a personal brand, growing a business, finding a mentor, reinventing your career, and finding balance and fulfillment. Ellevate Network also provides squads to professional women, an innovative online program that uses technology to help professional women get ahead in business by leveraging Ellevate’s community to lean on and learn from. Special events, opportunities, and advice are all available for young professionals, working mothers, entrepreneurs, and senior executives.
Partnerships
On March 21, 2016, Ellevate announced a partnership with American Corporate Partners, a women's veteran mentoring program. In 2014, Ellevate partnered with Pax World Management to form the Pax Ellevate Global Women's Index Fund, a fund focused on companies with significant representation of women in director and officer positions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacki | Stacki is a computer cluster software product from the company StackIQ, released as open-source software.
Description
StackIQ was originally named Clustercorp when it was founded in 2006. Its first product was a commercial version of a Linux distribution called the Rocks Cluster Distribution.
Originally based in San Jose, California, co-founders included Mason Katz and chief executive Tim McIntire.
In 2011, the company re-incorporated as StackIQ and moved to the La Jolla district in San Diego, California.
A round of venture capital funding in April and October 2014 raised about $6 million.
By then it was located in Solana Beach, California.
In August 2016, Pervez Choudhry replaced McIntire as chief executive.
A product called StackIQ cluster manager was renamed StackIQ Boss in February 2015.
Stacki works on several servers at the same time, so it takes about as long to provision any number of servers.
The system allows installations via the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE), and supports both an “all servers that boot on this network” and an “all servers in this spreadsheet” method of installations. So if the servers to be installed are on an isolated network, a Stacki tool called insert-ethers can be run to grab each machine that boots on the network and add it to Stacki, commencing an installation if needed. If the servers to be installed are on a shared network, then loading a spreadsheet of machines to install tells Stacki which ones it should install.
Stacki uses a database to manage variables for use during installation. Variables can be defined by individual server, installation type, or globally, and can be manipulated via spreadsheets or command line.
Networking, for example, can be managed with variables. A machine can be configured with multiple network cards on multiple networks with varying routes and open/closed ports.
Stacki was released in June 2015.
The StackIQ company was acquired by Teradata on June 30, 2017, for an undisclosed amount.

Artwork
Jaime Serra works with data sourced from his day-to-day life, using a language taken out of its natural journalistic context. Personal data displayed in the form of graphics and texts become strange objects. Infographics as a defamiliarisation device allows us to grasp what really matters: a narrative that challenges us and invites us to change our consciousness and our perception.
Recognition and awards
On 23 March 2012, Jonathon Berlin, President of the SND, The Society for News and Design, described him as the most influential infographer of the past twenty years. "If anyone has created a unique style with new and innovative ways to simplify life around us, it is Jaime. Creativity and artistic knowledge that helps us understand the reality at hand, inviting us to form opinions about it".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Cancer%20Imaging%20Archive | The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) is an open-access database of medical images for cancer research. The site is funded by the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Imaging Program, and the contract is operated by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Data within the archive is organized into collections which typically share a common cancer type and/or anatomical site. The majority of the data consists of CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine (e.g. PET) images stored in DICOM format, but many other types of supporting data are also provided or linked to, in order to enhance research utility. All data are de-identified in order to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and National Institutes of Health data sharing policies.
TCIA resources are intended to support:
Development of computer aided diagnosis methods (quantitative imaging)
Evaluation of unbiased science reproducibility by acceptable standard statistical methods
Research on correlation of clinical diagnostic medical images with digital microscopic histological images
Exploratory biomarker research for which imaging is a key element
Collaboration between cross-disciplinary investigators where imaging is crucial to research on tumor heterogeneity, between patients and within the tumor; tissue temporal response tracking - objective measurements of tumor progression; imaging genomics and Big Data linkages and analysis (clinical, histo-pathology, genomics)
TCIA is recognized as a recommended repository for the Scientific Data, PLOS One, and F1000Research journals. It is also listed in the Registry of Research Data Repositories.
History
Prior to the creation of TCIA, the NCI funded development of the National Biomedical Imaging Archive. NBIA is an open-source Web application which was designed to allow the storage and query of DICOM images. TCIA was subsequently initiated in December 2010 to expand data sharing activities by funding a service component which would help address the technical and policy challenges associated with medical imaging research. TCIA leverages open-source tools such as NBIA and Clinical Trials Processor in order to provide its services.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imposters%20%28TV%20series%29 | Imposters is an American dark comedy television series. The show premiered February 7, 2017, on the Bravo cable network with a 10-episode season. Announced in April 2015 as My So Called Wife, the series follows con artist Maddie, played by Inbar Lavi, who gets involved in relationships with men and women before leaving them "used and robbed of everything including their hearts". On April 17, 2017, Bravo renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on April 5, 2018. On June 1, 2018, Bravo canceled the series after two seasons.
Premise
Maddie Jonson (Inbar Lavi) is a con artist who works with Max (Brian Benben) and Sally (Katherine LaNasa) at the behest of a mysterious figure called "The Doctor" (Ray Proscia) who has teams of con artists working for him in multiple cities. The trio's method of operation is to make their targets (male or female) fall in love with Maddie while insinuating themselves into their lives, and then steal all their valuables shortly after she marries the victim. After Ezra Bloom (Rob Heaps) becomes the latest victim of their con, he is visited by Richard Evans (Parker Young), one of Maddie's previous targets, who is looking for her. The two travel to a former address of Maddie's only to find Jules Langmore (Marianne Rendón), an artist who also was married to and conned by Maddie. The three decide to team up and look for Maddie, but the lack of funds for travel requires them to become con artists themselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay%20%28chatbot%29 | Tay was an artificial intelligence chatbot that was originally released by Microsoft Corporation via Twitter on March 23, 2016; it caused subsequent controversy when the bot began to post inflammatory and offensive tweets through its Twitter account, causing Microsoft to shut down the service only 16 hours after its launch. According to Microsoft, this was caused by trolls who "attacked" the service as the bot made replies based on its interactions with people on Twitter. It was replaced with Zo.
Background
The bot was created by Microsoft's Technology and Research and Bing divisions, and named "Tay" as an acronym for "thinking about you". Although Microsoft initially released few details about the bot, sources mentioned that it was similar to or based on Xiaoice, a similar Microsoft project in China. Ars Technica reported that, since late 2014 Xiaoice had had "more than 40 million conversations apparently without major incident". Tay was designed to mimic the language patterns of a 19-year-old American girl, and to learn from interacting with human users of Twitter.
Initial release
Tay was released on Twitter on March 23, 2016, under the name TayTweets and handle @TayandYou. It was presented as "The AI with zero chill". Tay started replying to other Twitter users, and was also able to caption photos provided to it into a form of Internet memes. Ars Technica reported Tay experiencing topic "blacklisting": Interactions with Tay regarding "certain hot topics such as Eric Garner (killed by New York police in 2014) generate safe, canned answers".
Some Twitter users began tweeting politically incorrect phrases, teaching it inflammatory messages revolving around common themes on the internet, such as "redpilling" and "Gamergate". As a result, the robot began releasing racist and sexually-charged messages in response to other Twitter users. Artificial intelligence researcher Roman Yampolskiy commented that Tay's misbehavior was understandable because it was mimicking the deliberately offensive behavior of other Twitter users, and Microsoft had not given the bot an understanding of inappropriate behavior. He compared the issue to IBM's Watson, which began to use profanity after reading entries from the website Urban Dictionary. Many of Tay's inflammatory tweets were a simple exploitation of Tay's "repeat after me" capability. It is not publicly known whether this capability was a built-in feature, or whether it was a learned response or was otherwise an example of complex behavior. However, not all of the inflammatory responses involved the "repeat after me" capability; for example, Tay responded to a question on "Did the Holocaust happen?" with "It was made up".
Suspension
Soon, Microsoft began deleting Tay's inflammatory tweets. Abby Ohlheiser of The Washington Post theorized that Tay's research team, including editorial staff, had started to influence or edit Tay's tweets at some point that day, pointing to examples of almost identical replies by |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucha%20Underground%20%28season%201%29 | The first season of Lucha Underground, a lucha libre or professional wrestling show, aired from October 29, 2014 through August 5, 2015 on the El Rey Network in the United States and on later dates on UniMás in Mexico. The debut season of Lucha Underground had 39 episodes in total and presented Lucha libre as a mixture of reality and fiction, adding fantastical elements and movie style backstage clips mixed in with wrestling matches.
Plot overview
The first season on Lucha Underground introduced the viewers to Dario Cueto (Luis Fernandez-Gil), the owner of the "Lucha Underground Temple" in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. Cueto uses his money and influence to stage fights, promoting violence and often rewarding rule breakers while punishing those that play by the rules. During the season Cueto introduced the Lucha Underground Championship, won by Prince Puma in episode 9 (Aztec Warfare). Later on the Lucha Underground Trios Championship was added, with the first champions being the mismatched team of Angélico, Ivelisse and Son of Havoc. During the season Cueto began rewarding several wrestlers with an "Aztec Medallion", later revealing that they all played a part in the creation of the Gift of the Gods Championship, won by Fénix during the season finale called Ultima Lucha.
Other plot lines included the introduction of the mysterious, supernatural character Mil Muertes ("One Thousand Deaths"; Gilbert Cosme) and his companion Catrina (Karlee Perez) as they first fight against Fénix and later targeted Prince Puma. Catrina also brought in a trio called "the Disciples of Death" (Barrio Negro, El Sinestro de la Muerte and Trece). The season also included a side plot featuring Cueto, his brother Matanza, and Black Lotus (Angela Fong), who tries to kill Cueto and a masked wrestler known as Dragon Azteca who trains Black Lotus during the season. In the final episode of season one, Black Lotus kills Dragon Azteca, causing Cueto to flee the temple with both Black Lotus and Matanza in tow.

Production
All the wrestling matches were taped on location in Boyle Heights, California where a warehouse was converted into the "Lucha Underground Temple" set. The shows themselves were taped over several weekends, usually with two shows being taped per day. Some of the matches were not shown on television but served more as try-outs for wrestlers, often referred to as "dark matches". Throughout the season Matt Striker and Vampiro (Ian Hodgkinson) provided the English language commentary , while Vampiro and Hugo Savinovich taped the Spanish language commentary used when broadcast in Mexico. For the final show, Ultima Lucha, Vampiro wrestled and his place at the commentator desk was taken by Michael Schiavello.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%20Caridi | Tony Caridi (born September 8, 1962) is a children's book author and an American sportscaster for West Virginia University's Mountaineer Sports Network and West Virginia Radio Corporation's Metronews Radio Network.
Early life
Caridi was born on September 8, 1962, in Lockport, New York. Caridi's desire to become a play-by-play announcer was inspired by his experiences listening to the NBA's Buffalo Braves, the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, and the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
Education
Caridi graduated from Lockport High School in 1980. He attended the State University of New York at Geneseo and studied communications as a freshman and sophomore. An internship with Clip Smith at ABC affiliate WKBW-TV Buffalo made Caridi realize he needed more of a challenge. He transferred to Syracuse University’s S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Upon graduating from Syracuse in 1984, Caridi worked for WHEN Radio in Syracuse doing overnight news.
At Syracuse, Caridi was a classmate of prominent national sportscasters. His peers included Sean McDonough of ESPN and Monday Night Football; Dan Hoard, Voice of the Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Bearcats; Greg Papa, former Voice of the Oakland Raiders and currently the San Francisco 49ers; Bill Roth, former Voice of the Virginia Tech Hokies and former Voice of the UCLA Bruins; Jim Jackson, Voice of the Philadelphia Flyers; Rich Cimini, New York Jets reporter for ESPN.com; and Craig Minervini of the WWE.
Career
Caridi arrived in West Virginia in 1984, and expected to stay for a few months when he was hired by Hoppy Kercheval to work afternoon news for WAJR-AM Morgantown. He was one of two finalists for the job, so West Virginia Radio Corporation president Dale Miller (who was station general manager at the time) suggested a coin toss to decide which candidate to hire. Caridi won the flip. He assumed the role of Sports Director when Metronews was created two years later. Caridi took over as host of the Northside Automotive Statewide Sportsline in 1986 and continues in that role today.
Through Caridi's Syracuse connection, several national broadcasters started their careers at West Virginia Radio Corporation's Metronews Radio Network – Dave Pasch, Voice of the Arizona Cardinals and ESPN's College Football and NBA coverage; Dave Ryan of CBS Sports; Dave Jageler, Voice of the Washington Nationals; and Sagar Meghani of Associated Press Radio News.
West Virginia University
Caridi began working with the West Virginia University's Mountaineer Sports Network in 1987 as a television play-by-play announcer and feature reporter. He worked his first WVU basketball game on the MSN-TV Network on February 20, 1988, in a Mountaineers loss to the Rhode Island Rams at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Caridi assumed radio play-by-play duties on MSN in 1997, replacing Jack Fleming. Fleming, the longtime Voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers and West Virginia Mountaineers, referred to his eventual replacement as "Top Talent." Cari |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site%20reliability%20engineering | Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a set of principles and practices that applies aspects of software engineering to IT infrastructure and operations. SRE claims to create highly reliable and scalable software systems. Although they are closely related, SRE is slightly different from DevOps.
History
The field of site reliability engineering originated at Google with Ben Treynor Sloss, who founded a site reliability team after joining the company in 2003. In 2016, Google employed more than 1,000 site reliability engineers. After originating at Google in 2003, the concept spread into the broader software development industry, and other companies subsequently began to employ site reliability engineers. The position is more common at larger web companies, as small companies often do not operate at a scale that would require dedicated SREs. Organizations that have adopted the concept include Airbnb, Dropbox, IBM, LinkedIn, Netflix, and Wikimedia. According to a 2021 report by the DevOps Institute, 22% of organizations in a survey of 2,000 respondents had adopted the SRE model.
Definition
Site reliability engineering, as a job role, may be performed by individual contributors or organized in teams, responsible for a combination of the following within a broader engineering organization: System availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning. Site reliability engineers often have backgrounds in software engineering, system engineering, or system administration. Focuses of SRE include automation, system design, and improvements to system resilience.
Site reliability engineering, as a set of principles and practices, can be performed by anyone. SRE is similar to security engineering in that everyone is expected to contribute to good security practices, but a company may decide to eventually hire staff specialists for the job. Conversely, for securing internet systems, companies may hire security engineers. To define and ensure their reliability goals, companies may hire SREs as well.
Site reliability engineering has also been described as a specific implementation of DevOps, although they are slightly different. SRE focuses specifically on building reliable systems, whereas DevOps is more broadly focused. Although they have different focuses, some companies have rebranded their operations teams to SRE teams with little meaningful change.
Principles and practices
There have been multiple attempts to define a canonical list of site reliability engineering principles, but while consensus is lacking, the following characteristics are usually included in most definitions:
Automation or elimination of anything repetitive in a cost-effective way.
Avoidance to pursue much more reliability than what's strictly necessary. Defining what's necessary is a practice by itself (see list of practices below).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RL02 | RL01 and RL02 drives are moving head magnetic disk drives manufactured by Digital Equipment Corporation for the PDP-8 and PDP-11 microcomputers. The RL01 and RL02 drives stored approximate 5MB and 10MB respectively, utilizing a removable data cartridge. The drives are typically mounted in a standard 19" rack and weigh 34 kg. Up to four RL02 or RL01 drives may be used, in any combination, from a single controller. Typically an RL11 in the case of a Unibus PDP-11 and an RLV11 or RLV12 in the case of a Q-bus PDP-11. On the PDP-8/a the controller is an RL8A which consists of an M8433 Hex wide Omnibus card.
Cartridge format
The RL01 and RL02 data cartridges are based on IBM 5440 cartridges, but have servo tracking data pre-encoded onto the cartridge. This reduces the need for strict head alignment, allowing cartridges to be used in several drives (although there was no backwards compatibility between RL02 and RL01 cartridges, despite similar appearance). However, this prevents on-site low level formatting of cartridges. The drives have logic to prevent this servo data from being overwritten. RL01 cartridges have 256 tracks, and RL02 cartridges have 512 tracks.
Data format
On both RL01 and RL02 cartridges, each track is divided into 40 sectors of equal length. Each sector is divided into six fields, defined as follows (where each word is 16 bits).)
Header Preamble (PR1) consists of three words of 47 zeros, followed by a single one for synchronization.
Header, consisting of three words. The first word identifies whether the sector is on the upper or lower side of the platter, followed by the track number (1 to 256 or 1 to 512) and finally the sector number (1 to 40). The second word is all zeros. The third word contains a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the header. This is checked during a read operation.
Header Postamble (PO1) of one word consisting only of zeros. This field separates the header and data fields, enabling for mechanical tolerances between drives.
Data Preamble (PR2) consists of three words of 47 zeros, followed by a single synchronization one bit.
Data contains 128 words (a total of 2048 bits), followed by single word (16 bits) cyclic redundancy check
Data Postamble (PO2) contains 16 zero bits.
The header and data is preceded by two servo bursts (S1 and S2) which are prerecorded onto the data cartridge during manufacture. Data is encoded on the disk using Modified Frequency Modulation, where a one bit will result in a magnetic flux reversal on the magnetic coating of the cartridge.
The last track of an RL01 and RL02 cartridge contains a table which lists all of the bad sectors on the cartridge. This track also contains the cartridges serial number.) The drive does not contain any logic for handling bad sectors - this must be performed by the operating system. Hence, one could potentially erase this table if the operating system does not prevent against it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental%20Classroom | Continental Classroom is a U.S. educational television program that was broadcast on the NBC network five days a week in the early morning from 1958 to 1963, covering physics, chemistry, mathematics, and American government. It was targeted at teachers and college students and many institutions offered college credit for courses of which the broadcasts were the main component. The physics course was the first course in the subject available for credit nationwide and the government course was the first nationally broadcast TV course in social studies; the mathematics course has been called the first MOOC (massive open online course) in statistics.
Background, production and format
The idea for the course came from the drive to upgrade science education in the US after the Soviet Union's successful launch of Sputnik in 1957. Learning of a plan by the New York State Commissioner of Education, James Allen, to spend $600,000 on a refresher course for science teachers, Edward Stanley, Director of Public Affairs and Education at NBC, decided the network could do the same nationwide for not much more money. The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education was also planning a pilot project on using television in teacher training. Major funding for the program came from the Ford Foundation and from various corporations. The title came from a phrase Stanley used to explain the idea to James Killian, science advisor to President Eisenhower. Physics for the nuclear age was the topic of the first year's course, which was broadcast from 6:30 to 7:00 in the morning Monday through Friday. The second course, in chemistry, was preceded by a rebroadcast of the physics course at 6:00 am. Courses in mathematics and American government followed. The Ford Foundation withdrew its funding for the fourth season, and the network subsequently canceled the program. The fifth season was a rebroadcast of the fourth, the last program airing on May 17, 1963.
Lecturers were paid $40,000 for a year of at least 130 half-hour lectures, and could have one or more paid assistants. They were given use of an apartment in Manhattan and their children were placed by NBC in good schools. They worked from outlines, rather than memorizing scripts. Each lecture was recorded in a four-hour studio session some two weeks ahead of the air date, usually in the afternoon by instructor preference. The first two seasons used three cameras; after the loss of the Ford Foundation support, this was reduced to two. The total budget was between $1.2 and $1.5 million a year.
The program attracted more viewers and a wider variety of viewers than NBC had expected: 400,000 for the physics course, 600,000 for chemistry, and one and a half million for American government, and including high-school classes (two of them for blind students), more than 800 engineers in the San Francisco Bay Area, nuns, 500 inmates of San Quentin State Prison in California, parents of students studying science, and other |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppo%20Linnainmaa | Seppo Ilmari Linnainmaa (born 28 September 1945) is a Finnish mathematician and computer scientist known for creating the modern version of backpropagation.
Biography
He was born in Pori. In 1974 he obtained the first doctorate ever awarded in computer science at the University of Helsinki. In 1976, he became Assistant Professor. From 1984 to 1985 he was Visiting Professor at the University of Maryland, USA. From 1986 to 1989 he was Chairman of the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society. From 1989 to 2007, he was Research Professor at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. He retired in 2007.
Backpropagation
Explicit, efficient error backpropagation in arbitrary, discrete, possibly sparsely connected, neural networks-like networks was first described in Linnainmaa's 1970 master's thesis, albeit without reference to NNs, when he introduced the reverse mode of automatic differentiation (AD), in order to efficiently compute the derivative of a differentiable composite function that can be represented as a graph, by recursively applying the chain rule to the building blocks of the function. Linnainmaa published it first, following Gerardi Ostrowski who had used it in the context of certain process models in chemical engineering some five years earlier, but didn't publish.
With faster computers emerging, the method has become heavily used in numerous applications. For example, backpropagation of errors in multi-layer perceptrons, a technique used in machine learning, is a special case of reverse mode AD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU%E2%80%93US%20Privacy%20Shield | The EU–US Privacy Shield was a legal framework for regulating transatlantic exchanges of personal data for commercial purposes between the European Union and the United States. One of its purposes was to enable US companies to more easily receive personal data from EU entities under EU privacy laws meant to protect European Union citizens. The EU–US Privacy Shield went into effect on 12 July 2016 following its approval by the European Commission. It was put in place to replace the International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles, which were declared invalid by the European Court of Justice in October 2015. The ECJ declared the EU–US Privacy Shield invalid on 16 July 2020, in the case known as Schrems II. In 2022, leaders of the US and EU announced that a new data transfer framework called the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework had been agreed to in principle, replacing Privacy Shield. However, it is uncertain what changes will be necessary or adequate for this to succeed without facing additional legal challenges.
History
In October 2015 the European Court of Justice declared the previous framework called the International Safe Harbor Privacy Principles invalid in a ruling that later became known as "Schrems I". Soon after this decision, the European Commission and the U.S. Government started talks about a new framework, and on February 2, 2016, they reached a political agreement. The European Commission published the "adequacy decision" draft, declaring principles to be equivalent to the protections offered by EU law.
The Article 29 Data Protection Working Party delivered an opinion on April 13, 2016, stating that the Privacy Shield offers major improvements compared to the Safe Harbor decisions, but that three major points of concern still remain. They relate to deletion of data, collection of massive amounts of data, and clarification of the new Ombudsperson mechanism. The European Data Protection Supervisor issued an opinion on 30 May 2016 in which he stated that "the Privacy Shield, as it stands, is not robust enough to withstand future legal scrutiny before the [European] Court".
On 8 July 2016 EU member states' representatives (article 31 committee) approved the final version of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, paving the way for the adoption of the decision by the commission. The European Commission adopted the framework on 12 July 2016 and it went into effect the same day.
On January 25, 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order entitled "Enhancing Public Safety" which states that U.S. privacy protections will not be extended beyond US citizens or residents:
This executive order was repealed by President Joe Biden on January 20, 2021.
The European Commission has stated that:
The commission said it will "continue to monitor the implementation of both instruments".
Privacy Shield principles
In general, there are seven major principles which the organization has developed. They are stated in the following paragraphs: |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lap%20Power | Lap Power were a Swedish publicly listed company that was started in 1991 that during the 1990s sold (mainly portable) personal computers and computer accessories. A lot of attention and controversy came from provocative advertising featuring Helen Wellton posing scantily clad to sell their computers. The company was owned by Mr and Mrs Helen Wellton (b.1961) and Claes Wellton Persson. Lap Power's new owners plunged the company into bankruptcy in 2000.
JämO against Helen Wellton
Company ads where Helen Wellton occurred frequently on the picture together with the company's products attracted the Equality Ombudsman's (JämO) attention. The ads were reported twice by the Ombudsman to the Industry and Commerce Ethics against sexist advertising (ERK). The first time she was freed. The second time, she was convicted of her smile, which ERK considered "signaling sexual overtures".
History
The corner stones for Lap Power were done in mid-1990s but it wasn't until 1991 that it started for real. The first big order came from the Swedish Armed Forces. That ordered a number of camouflage painted "towable" computers. It could best be described as a stationary machine that had been assembled together with a foldable screen. These clumsy models became little of a specialty for the company in the beginning and the possibilities were soon realised.
My thought was that in the feature all one would need was a small portable computer and no stationary. I was the first in the world to market a package that consisted of a portable computer, a big monitor, big keyboard and a mouse for office workplaces, says Claes Persson (the former CEO).
Persson also says he was the first with a docking strip that fit portable computers. In the docking strip, screen, keyboard and mouse were always connected. Too bad I didn't patent this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First%20Flights%20with%20Neil%20Armstrong | First Flights was a half-hour televised aviation history documentary series. The series premiered on September 25, 1991, on A&E Networks and ran for three seasons. It was hosted by former test pilot and astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the Moon.
The series initially aired Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on A&E in the U.S. The series focused on the technological history of aviation, from early balloons and gliders through war-time and mass commercial aviation, to experimental hypersonic flight at the edge of space. In the series, Neil Armstrong interviewed pilots and aerospace engineers. Archival footage and vintage aircraft were used to recreate historic takeoffs.
Episodes
Episodes of First Flights with Neil Armstrong are listed below in the original A&E Networks broadcast order. Season 1 traces the development of aviation technology from balloons to early post-WWII jet aircraft. Season 2 continues the story of atmospheric flight to the edge of space in the 1990s. Neil Armstrong had previously flown several aircraft featured in Season 2 during his long career as a NASA experimental test pilot in Edwards, CA. Season 3 focuses on the development of particular technologies within the broader field of aviation.

Season 3
Production
During pre-production, the series was titled Test Pilot and the actor Cliff Robertson, who had portrayed the astronaut Buzz Aldrin in Return to Earth, was cast to host the show. Robertson backed out after the filming of flying sequences and pilot interviews had begun in England, the Netherlands, and the United States. A&E agreed to allow the host to be changed, "as long as it was someone of at least the stature of Cliff Robertson." The show's producer obtained a list of astronauts and pilots from the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, and being "naive enough to ... start at the top," approached Armstrong, asking if he would be interested. "The fact that [the show's producer] ran his company out of a small Pennsylvania town and not New York or L.A. may have appealed to the wary Armstrong," Michael Cascio, who supervised the show at A&E, later recalled; Armstrong accepted. Amstrong disapproved of the show's title and, after considering other possibilities, including Thumbs Up!, the producers settled on First Flights.
When the show premiered in the fall of 1991, a television reviewer criticized Armstrong's limited involvement onscreen, and Armstrong agreed to a larger role, conducting discussions with pilots and historians, and flying the aircraft.
Release
The series aired during prime time on A&E until 1993. After subsequently running on the History Channel, First Flights was syndicated to PBS stations across the United States and Canada. The series also appeared on Bridges TV. The series has been broadcast globally, including in the United Kingdom on Discovery Europe, the Netherlands on Evangelische Omroep, and various channels throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masreliez%27s%20theorem | Masreliez theorem describes a recursive algorithm within the technology of extended Kalman filter, named after the Swedish-American physicist John Masreliez, who is its author. The algorithm estimates the state of a dynamic system with the help of often incomplete measurements marred by distortion.
Masreliez's theorem produces estimates that are quite good approximations to the exact conditional mean in non-Gaussian additive outlier (AO) situations. Some evidence for this can be had by Monte Carlo simulations.
The key approximation property used to construct these filters is that the state prediction density is approximately Gaussian. Masreliez discovered in 1975 that this approximation yields an intuitively appealing non-Gaussian filter recursions, with data dependent covariance (unlike the Gaussian case) this derivation also provides one of the nicest ways of establishing the standard Kalman filter recursions. Some theoretical justification for use of the Masreliez approximation is provided by the "continuity of state prediction densities" theorem in Martin (1979).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEDRO%20Center | The Philippine Earth Data Resource and Observation Center, also known as the PEDRO Center is an organization tasked in operating satellite ground stations.
It is part of the Philippine Scientific Earth Observation Micro-satellite (Phil-Microsat) program by the Department of Science and Technology, which includes the deployment of the Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 microsatellites. It also receives information from commercial satellites.
History
The Philippine Earth Data Resource and Observation (PEDRO) Center project was implemented by the Advanced Science and Technology Institute of the Department of Science and Technology in December 2016 following the launch of the Philippines' first microsatellite, Diwata-1 on April 26, 2016. The project was implemented to be able to establish a ground receiving station that would gather data from satellites.
Satellite ground stations
PEDRO's first satellite ground station is situated at the Department of Science and Technology–Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST–ASTI) facility at the University of Philippines Diliman in Quezon City, Philippines. The facility has a satellite tracking antenna.
The ground station was initially planned to be located inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Subic, Zambales. This plan was reportedly changed in March 2016, with the ground station to be built in Diliman, Quezon City instead. Construction began in 2016 and PEDRO became operational by June 2017.
The second satellite ground station was launched on June 30, 2019 and is located at the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Transmitter Facility in Davao City's Francisco Bangoy International Airport. The Davao facility has a satellite tracking antenna and a container van which serves as a control room.
A third ground station in Dumangas, Iloilo was launched in August 2022. While the first two stations were funded by the DOST, the Iloilo station was financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The station was slated to open in July 2020 but was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Linked satellites
Aside from the PHL-Microsat satellites the Pedro Center has access to data of other third-party satellites.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%205120 | The A 5120 was an office computer produced by VEB Robotron in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz), East Germany starting in 1982. The system featured an 8-bit microprocessor, the U880. It was built for office work and had minimal graphics and sound capabilities. The price was between 27,000 and 40,000 East German marks (around 24,000-35,000 2016 US dollars) depending on equipment.
In 1986, a new version was produced, the A 5120.16. The system was identical to the A 5120, with the addition of two additional boards, one with a U8000 16-bit microprocessor (a Zilog Z8000 clone), and one with 256KiB DRAM. The original 8-bit system functioned as an I/O subsystem. In this configuration it could run the relatively powerful MUTOS8000 (Unix System III derivative). The price of this model was between about 32,000 and 48,000 East German marks.
In total, about 17,000 A 5120 and A 5120.16 units were manufactured.
In March 1983, a stamp was issued by the German Democratic Republic featuring the A 5120. 4.5 million copies were printed.
An A 5120 was featured in the 2015 television show Deutschland 83 as an example of technological disparity between East and West Germany in the early 1980s.
Technical details
The original A 5120 had two U880 (Zilog Z80 clone) 8-bit processors, running at 2.25 MHz or 2.5 MHz. One was dedicated to I/O, while the other was used for normal work. Each was capable of about 625,000 operations per second. It normally came with 16KiB of RAM, but a few units shipped with less. When higher-capacity DRAM chips became available, most units shipped with at least 64KiB, and some with as much as 112KiB.
The A 5120.16 upgrade included two new circuit boards, one with a 16-bit U8001 processor (clone of Zilog Z8000), and the other with 256KiB of additional RAM. The original 8-bit system functioned as a terminal to the 16-bit system.
For storage, the first A 5120 units had dual magnetic cassette drives, but when the floppy disk version became available, all of these units were converted. The first floppy disk version of the machine included an 8-inch floppy disk drive, with two additional 8-inch drives available in a separate unit. Later, the A 5120 included up to three 5.25-inch drives in place of the 8-inch drive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KUCO-LD | KUCO-LD (channel 27) is a low-power television station licensed to Chico, California, United States, affiliated with the Spanish-language Univision network. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, it is sister to Redding-licensed ABC affiliate KRCR-TV (channel 7) and four other low-power stations: Chico-licensed Antenna TV affiliate KXVU-LD (channel 17); MyNetworkTV affiliates Redding-licensed KRVU-LD (channel 21) and Chico-licensed KZVU-LD (channel 22), and Chico-licensed UniMás affiliate KKTF-LD (channel 30). Sinclair also operates Paradise-licensed Fox affiliate KCVU (channel 20) through a local marketing agreement (LMA) with owner Cunningham Broadcasting. However, Sinclair effectively owns KCVU as the majority of Cunningham's stock is owned by the family of deceased group founder Julian Smith.
The stations share studios on Auditorium Drive east of downtown Redding and maintain a news bureau and sales office at the former Sainte Television Group facilities on Main Street in downtown Chico. For FCC and other legal purposes, the Chico/Paradise-licensed stations still use the Chico address and Redding-licensed stations use the Redding address. KUCO-LD's transmitter is located along Cohasset Road northeast of Chico.
KEUV-LD (channel 35) in Eureka operates as a semi-satellite of KUCO-LD. As such, it simulcasts all Univision programming as provided through KUCO but airs separate local commercials and legal station identifications. Although KEUV-LD maintains its own studios (shared with KAEF-TV and LMA partner KBVU) on Sixth Street in downtown Eureka, master control and some internal operations are based at KUCO's facilities.
History
KUCO-LP was founded by country-western singer Chester Smith's broadcast company Sainte Partners II, L.P. and first hit the air in 2002 to help bring Spanish-language television to the growing Spanish-speaking population in Northern California. It was the first Spanish-language station to air in the Chico/Redding market. It would soon be joined by Telemundo affiliate KXVU-LP and UniMás affiliate KKTF-LD, both also founded by Smith's company.
In 2014, six years after Smith's death, his company sold KUCO-LP and the remaining stations to Bonten Media Group, owners of ABC affiliate KRCR-TV in Redding.
On an unknown date in either 2016 or 2017, KUCO-LP conducted an unauthorized test of the Emergency Alert System. However, the message read that the activation was for an Emergency Action Notification. It is unknown if any panic from residents followed.
On April 21, 2017, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced its intent to purchase the Bonten stations (including KUCO-LP) for $240 million. The sale was completed September 1, 2017.
The station changed its call sign to KUCO-LD on April 5, 2019, coincident with receiving its license for digital operations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual%20Desktop | Virtual Desktop is a computer application that displays the user's computer monitor in a three-dimensional virtual space, for use with a virtual reality headset. At the time of its release, CNET and Polygon wrote that the software was essential for virtual reality headset owners.
In May, 2019, the application was released for the Oculus Quest with the ability to wirelessly stream a user's computer monitor to the headset. Godin later added an additional feature to stream VR games, Facebook forced the developer to remove the update citing that its "stream quality wasn’t reliable enough for Quest owners". An unofficial patch was released outside of the Quest store. However in February 2021, while submitting a version with the feature for inclusion on the less-restrictive Oculus App Lab store, the company unexpectedly backpedaled and approved the feature in the Quest store version of Virtual Desktop.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia%20Drive | Nvidia Drive is a computer platform by Nvidia, aimed at providing autonomous car and driver assistance functionality powered by deep learning. The platform was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2015. An enhanced version, the Drive PX 2 was introduced at CES a year later, in January 2016.
The closely platform related software release program at some point in time was branded NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion along with a revision number helping to match with the generation of hardware it is created for - and also creating ready to order bundles under those term. In former times there were only the terms Nvidia Drive SDK for the developer package and sub-included Nvidia Drive OS for the system software (aka OS) that came with the evaluation platforms or could be downloaded for OS switching and updating later on.
Hardware and Semiconductors
Maxwell based
The first of Nvidia's autonomous chips was announced at CES 2015, based on the Maxwell GPU microarchitecture. The line-up consisted of two platforms:
Drive CX
The Drive CX was based on a single Tegra X1 SoC (System on a Chip) and was marketed as a digital cockpit computer, providing a rich dashboard, navigation and multimedia experience.
Early Nvidia press releases reported that the Drive CX board will be capable of carrying either a Tegra K1 or a Tegra X1.
Drive PX
The first version of Drive PX is based on two Tegra X1 SoCs, and was an initial development platform targeted at (semi-)autonomous driving cars.
Pascal based
Drive PX platforms based on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture were first announced at CES 2016. This time only a new version of Drive PX was announced, but in multiple configurations.
Drive PX 2
The Nvidia Drive PX 2 is based on one or two Tegra X2 SoCs where each SoC contains 2 Denver cores, 4 ARM A57 cores and a GPU from the Pascal generation. There are two real world board configurations:
for AutoCruise: 1× Tegra X2 + 1 Pascal GPU
for AutoChauffeur: 2× Tegra X2 + 2 Pascal GPU's
There is further the proposal from Nvidia for fully autonomous driving by means of combining multiple items of the AutoChauffeur board variant and connecting these boards using e.g. UART, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, USB, 1 Gbit Ethernet or 10 Gbit Ethernet. For any derived custom PCB design the option of linking the Tegra X2 Processors via some PCIe bus bridge is further available, according to board block diagrams that can be found on the web.
All Tesla Motors vehicles manufactured from mid-October 2016 include a Drive PX 2, which will be used for neural net processing to enable Enhanced Autopilot and full self-driving functionality. Other applications are Roborace. Disassembling the Nvidia-based control unit from a recent Tesla car showed that a Tesla was using a modified single-chip Drive PX 2 AutoCruise, with a GP106 GPU added as a MXM Module. The chip markings gave strong hints for the Tegra X2 Parker as the CPU SoC.

An EVC is defined by the Metro-Ethernet Forum (MEF) as an association between two or more user network interfaces that identifies a point-to-point or multipoint-to-multipoint path within the service provider network. An EVC is a conceptual service pipe within the service provider network. A bridge domain is a local broadcast domain that exists separately from VLANs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC%201715 | The PC 1715 was an office computer produced by VEB Robotron in East Germany starting in 1985. The system featured an 8-bit microprocessor, the U880, a clone of the Zilog Z80. It was built for office work and education, but was also put to some specialist uses, for example an optional interface was available for controlling a pacemaker. The 1715 had minimal graphics and sound capabilities. The price was 19,000 East German marks.
In contrast to the A5120 predecessor, the PC1715 was not built around the K1520 bus standard. There was no back plane, but the main board had 2 58-pin connectors that were largely K1520 compliant, with some signals omitted and replaced with custom internal signals. The floppy controller of the PC1715 used one of those internal bus extensions and was built with discrete components and logic chips, whereas other robotron computers of the 1980s used a clone of an Intel 8272 Floppy disk controller. The floppy controller board clearly appears to be based on the one used in the A5120.
The graphics subsystem on the other hand was part of the main board circuitry and relied on a Intel 8275 compatible CRT controller with a portion of main memory used as video memory.
A second U880 processor was used in the keyboard, together with a small firmware ROM to decode the keyboard matrix and transmit the keycode via a serial link to the main board. Though it was common practice at the time for processors that failed normal quality tests to be reused with much reduced clock frequencies and this may have been the case here.
In 1987, a new version was produced, the PC 1715W (1715M in the Soviet Union). The system was identical to the PC 1715, except the processor was clocked at 4 MHz and the machine had 256KiB DRAM.
In total, about 93,000 PC 1715 and PC 1715W units were manufactured. An estimated 50,000 of those were exported to the Soviet Union.
In March 1987, a stamp was issued by the German Democratic Republic featuring the PC 1715. 8 million copies were printed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understory%20%28company%29 | Understory (founded in 2012 as WInstruments) is a company that forecasts weather and collects data using a grid of weather-sensing hardware that tracks weather from the ground level.
History
Although originally known as WInstruments, founder and CEO Alex Kubicek changed the company name to Subsidence and joined Gener8tor, a group in Madison, Wisconsin that provides funding to startups. After receiving funding from Gener8tor, the company moved to Boston to the Bolt hardware accelerator. Kubicek soon renamed the company “Understory,” and combined funding from Gener8tor and Bolt came to $68,000. After raising $1.9 million in seed funding led by True Ventures, with participation by RRE Ventures, Vegas Tech Fund, SK Ventures, and Andrew C. Payne, the company moved from Madison to Boston, Massachusetts.
Headquarters was set up in Somerville at the clean tech incubator, Greentown Labs, and the company set up pilot tests in Kansas City, Missouri, Dallas, Texas, and Boston.
Series A funding resulted in another $7.5 million for the company, co-led by 4490 Ventures and Monsanto Growth Ventures and joined by CSA Partners, True Ventures, RRE Ventures, and SK Ventures. The company then announced a plan to move back to Madison, Wisconsin.
The company's first customer was American Family Insurance, which uses weather data to adjust claims.
Device
Understory makes solar-powered weather stations that detect three-dimensional rain, hail, wind and other weather in real-time at the ground level, instead of using atmospheric data like traditional weather detectors. Each weather station is about 1 foot wide and 2 feet tall, and connects in a grid through cellular connections. The stations can collect up to 3,000 data points per minute.

Belmar (1902) has the only extant data on the language, a wordlist of 228 words and phrases. It is possible that the speakers who supplied the wordlist were the last speakers of the language, since there were no speakers left by the middle of the 20th century.
Phonology
The following phonemes are based on reconstructions from available data and comparisons with related languages.
Vowels
Current reconstructions of Teojomulco Chatino show it had 5 vowels: /a, e, i, o, u/.
Consonants
Reconstructions show that Teojomulco Chatino had 15 consonants.
Teojomulco Chatino has 7 allophones. /t͡s/ is a post-tonic allophone of /s/, and /kʲ/ is an allophone of /k/ in palatalized environments. /gʲ/ occurs in environments that trigger both palatalization and voicing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux%20%28political%20party%29 | Flux, also known as Flux the System! and Liberals For Climate - The Flux Network, was a political party and movement that aimed to replace the world's elected legislatures with a new system known as issue-based direct democracy (IBDD). Flux originated in and was most active in Australia, but also had groups existing in the United States and Brazil.
IBDD is similar to liquid democracy, though there are differences. In IBDD, voters would still have the right to vote directly on every issue or delegate their vote to someone else, but unlike in liquid democracy, voters can choose to forgo votes on one issue to use on another issue. This creates opportunity cost between issues and allows voters to specialise their votes on the issues that are more important to them. This specialisation of votes allows citizens to participate effectively in issue-based direct democracy without having to focus on every issue as they would in regular direct democracy.
Australia
Flux parties were registered in the Australian Capital Territory, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. Flux was registered at a federal level from 2016, but it was de-registered in 2022 for failing to meet the increased requirement of 1500 members.
Elections
In the 2016 Australian federal election, Flux stood two senate candidates in every state, and one in the Australian Capital Territory under the name "VOTEFLUX.ORG". The group drew first preference votes of between 0.08% and 0.28% in each state, for a national average of 0.15%.
Under the banner of "Flux the System!", Flux nominated 24 candidates for the 2017 Western Australian election - 12 in the Legislative Council and another 12 in the Legislative Assembly. They received first preference votes of between 0.31% and 0.88% in each legislative council region, for a state average of 0.44%, One of the candidates included Lewis Freer, a sitting councillor on the City of Greater Geraldton. The party also controversially ran 26 so-called "fake independents" – candidates who were affiliated with the party but appeared as independents on the ballot papers.
Writing in 2020, ABC election analyst Antony Green noted that Flux "has attracted negligible support" at elections. Despite having no climate policies of any kind, the party changed its name to "Liberals for Climate - The Flux Network" for the 2021 Western Australian state election.
Liberals for Climate, the last registered Flux Party, had their registration cancelled in January 2023. The party's website is no longer online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego%20Scooby-Doo%21%20Haunted%20Hollywood | Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood is a 2016 computer-animated comedy mystery film. It is the twenty-sixth entry in the direct-to-video series of Scooby-Doo films, and the first based on the Scooby-Doo brand of Lego. The first trailer was released on February 23. The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray and digitally on May 10. This is the first non-TV Scooby-Doo themed production to feature Kate Micucci as the voice of Velma Dinkley, following Mindy Cohn's retirement from the role in 2015, with Micucci having assumed the role in Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! the same year.
Plot
While trying to solve the mystery of a sea creature haunting a lighthouse, Shaggy complains to Scooby about how Fred, Daphne and Velma always bribe them into being monster bait with Scooby Snacks. As a result, Shaggy and Scooby decide to not eat Scooby Snacks again. After they solve the mystery, the gang goes to the malt shop where Shaggy and Scooby win a hamburger eating contest and win the whole gang a trip to Hollywood.
Once they arrive, they first visit Brickton Studios, an old horror film studio that is about to be closed down. The studio's employee Junior, an avid fan of horror films, welcomes them and offers to give them a tour. Joining them on the tour is Atticus Fink, a developer who wants to buy and level the studio. During the tour, they drive their truck through a dark storage facility, causing Fink to leave. After Fink leaves, a Headless Horseman appears and chases the gang.
After they escape, they go to ask the manager, Chet Brickton, about their encounter. Brickton tells them that all the monsters used to be played by an actor named Boris Karnak, who died years ago and that his ghost may have come back to haunt the studios through various costumes of the monsters he played. In addition to the Headless Horseman, there have also been sightings of a mummy and a zombie, which is why he must sell the studio to Fink to avoid bankruptcy. The gang offers to help Brickton solve the mystery.
First, the gang goes to the set of a romantic comedy film that the studio is currently working on, to Junior's displeasure. Suddenly the Headless Horseman attacks and ruins the set, making Brickton forlorn. The gang offers to help him finish the movie. Brickton appoints Fred as the director and casts Shaggy in the lead. Brickton then casts TV show talk host Drella Diabolique as the female lead, to Daphne's dismay. After a long film making process, a mummy attacks and destroys the set.
Later, Fred and Velma go to look for clues, while Drella coaches Daphne on being a movie star. Finding his footage unharmed, Fred decides to continue filming his movie. While shooting a particularly extravagant scene involving a plane, both the Headless Horseman and the zombie appear. After Scooby has a wild ride on the plane and the monsters disappear, Brickton reluctantly signs the studio over to Fink, to Junior's sadness. Velma mentions that the Headless Horseman and the zombie appeared at the same |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OutWit%20Hub | OutWit Hub is a Web data extraction software application designed to automatically extract information from online or local resources. It recognizes and grabs links, images, documents, contacts, recurring vocabulary and phrases, rss feeds and converts structured and unstructured data into formatted tables which can be exported to spreadsheets or databases. The first version was released in 2010. Version 9.0 was released in January 2020.
The program includes a Mozilla-based browser and a side bar which gives access to a number of views with pre-set extractors. Web pages and textual documents are broken down into their different constituents, presented as tables in these views. The application can navigate through series of links and sequences of search engine results pages to extract information elements, organize them in tables and export them to various formats. The predefined extractors allow to collect structured tables, lists or feeds. Custom scrapers can also be created to extract data from less structured page elements. Regular expressions can be included in scrapers as well as in other parts of the application to define variable recognition markers.
Although OutWit Hub is presented as a tool for non-technical users, the fact that the application doesn't use the document object model structure for its extractions prevents visual "point & grab" data scraping and forces the user who wants to create custom scrapers to define markers in the source code of the page. The advantage of this approach, however, is that it allows a more precise definition of extraction masks than HTML nodes and faster execution, as the document object model tree doesn't need to be rendered by the browser at extraction time.
Versions
A limited free version can be downloaded from the publisher's site and shareware download websites.
Features
Recognition and extraction of links, email addresses, structured & non-structured data, RSS news
Extraction & download of images and documents
Extraction of text, with dictionary of words & groups of words by frequency
Automated browsing with user-defined Web exploration rules

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20L.%20Grossman | Robert Lee Grossman is an American computer scientist and bioinformatician at the University of Chicago. His primary research interests are data science and data-intensive computing.
Research
Grossman has worked in several fields. His early work (1984–1990) was in mathematics, where he developed algorithms in symbolic and numeric computing. In 1989, working with Richard Larson, he showed that trees have a natural multiplicative structure and are in fact a Hopf algebra. This algebra, sometimes called the Grossman–Larson algebra, is dual to the Connes-Kreimer algebra, which is one way of organizing the computations required when renormalizing Feynman diagrams. Working with Peter Crouch, he showed that there are Runge–Kutta methods that evolve naturally on Lie groups.
From 1990 to 2010, he primarily worked in computer science, specifically, data mining and data intensive computing. With Stuart Bailey and Yunhong Gu, he developed open source software to move large datasets over wide area high performance networks (PTool and the UDP-based Data Transfer Protocol or UDT). With Yunhong Gu, he also developed Sector/Sphere, a distributed platform for data intensive computing. During this period, he also founded the Data Mining Group, which develops data mining standards, and led the technical working group that developed the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML), which is now the dominant standard in analytics.
Since 2010, he has primarily focused on data science and its applications to biology medicine, health care and the environment. He developed the first biomedical cloud that was designated as a NIH Trusted Partner, allowing it to interoperate with NIH's controlled access genomic data. He is currently leading the effort to build the NCI Genomic Data Commons, which will host all the genomic and associated clinical data from NIH/NCI funded research projects and clinical trials.
He is a faculty member at the University of Chicago and the Director of the Center for Data Intensive Science at the University of Chicago. He is the founder and director of the Open Commons Consortium]
Entrepreneurial activity
Grossman founded Magnify, Inc. in 1996, was its CEO from 1996 to 2000, and its Chairman until 2005, when it was sold to ChoicePoint. Magnify is now part of LexisNexis. Magnify provided data mining solutions to the financial services sector. Grossman founded Open Data Group Inc. in 2001, which provides data science services so that clients can build predictive models over big data. Open Data's main product is a high performance scoring engine for statistics and analytic models that is compliant with the Portable Format for Analytics standard. Grossman is the Chief Data Scientist at Open Data Group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber%20manufacturing | Cyber manufacturing is a concept derived from cyber-physical systems (CPS) that refers to a modern manufacturing system that offers an information-transparent environment to facilitate asset management, provide reconfigurability, and maintain productivity. Compared with conventional experience-based management systems, cyber manufacturing provides an evidence-based environment to keep equipment users aware of networked asset status, and transfer raw data into possible risks and actionable information. Driving technologies include design of cyber-physical systems, combination of engineering domain knowledge and computer sciences, as well as information technologies. Among them, mobile applications for manufacturing is an area of specific interest to industries and academia.
Motivation
The idea of cyber manufacturing originates from the fact that Internet-enabled services have added business value in economic sectors such as retail, music, consumer products, transportation, and healthcare; however, compared to existing Internet-enabled sectors, manufacturing assets are less connected and less accessible in real-time. Besides, current manufacturing enterprises make decisions following a top-down approach: from overall equipment effectiveness to assignment of production requirements, without considering the condition of machines. This usually leads to inconsistency in operation management due to lack of linkage between factories, possible overstock in spare part inventory, as well as unexpected machine downtime. Such situation calls for connectivity between machines as a foundation, and analytics on top of that as a necessity to translate raw data into information that actually facilitates user decision making. Expected functionalities of cyber manufacturing systems include machine connectivity and data acquisition, machine health prognostics, fleet-based asset management, and manufacturing reconfigurability.
Technology
Several technologies are involved in developing cyber-manufacturing solutions. The following is a short description of these technologies and their involvement in cyber-manufacturing.
Cyber-physical system is the foundation of cyber-manufacturing. Tools and methods within CPS enables possibility of reaching cyber-manufacturing goals.
Big Data Analytics is the other significant technology participating in design and development of cyber-manufacturing systems. Connected machines in every industry raise the issue of proper data handling and processing and cyber-manufacturing is not an exemption. Customized developments in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics are applicable in cyber-manufacturing.
Development
In 2013 the Office of Naval Research in the US Military has issued a proposal solicitation subjected for cyber-manufacturing.

Since then, the Census Bureau periodically updates estimates and projections for countries as new data become available, funding permits, and conditions warrant. IDB estimates and projections are produced for those countries and areas recognized by the U.S. Department of State which have populations of 5,000 or more. The statistics are maintained for every year from 1950 until the present plus have future projections until 2050. Population size (by single year of age and sex) and components of change (fertility, mortality, and migration) are provided for each calendar year beyond the initial or base year, through 2050.
The U.S. Census Bureau International Programs office has released a web map viewer that allows everyone to explore this data set, the International Map Viewer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShrinkIt | A NuFX archive is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. It is usually given the file extension SHK; SDK may also be used to specify that the archive describes the entire contents of a disk.
History
Andy E. Nicholas designed the format as an improved replacement for the Binary II (.BNY) format, adding compression. He introduced it alongside a pkzip-like program called ShrinkIt for Apple II systems, which he later migrated to the Apple IIGS as GS-Shrinkit.
The specification was republished by Apple in its File Type Notes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingsglaive%3A%20Final%20Fantasy%20XV | is a 2016 Japanese computer-animated fantasy film directed by Takeshi Nozue and scripted by Takashi Hasegawa from a story by Kazushige Nojima and Saori Itamuro. Developed primarily by Square Enix's exclusive CGI studio Visual Works, Kingsglaive is based on the setting and story of the video game Final Fantasy XV, which is thematically connected to the Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV was released theatrically in July 2016 in Japan by Aniplex, and received a limited theatrical run in August in North America by Stage 6 Films. Digital and physical home video versions were released three months later in October, and the film was bundled with different editions of Final Fantasy XV alongside Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV.
Kingsglaive runs parallel with the events in the beginning of Final Fantasy XV, focusing on Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII, the father of main character Noctis. The main protagonists are from the Kingsglaive, an elite combat corps who share Regis's magical powers and defend the kingdom of Lucis and its Crystal from the invading empire of Niflheim. Faced with continued detrimental conflict, Regis accepts an armistice with Niflheim: as part of the peace treaty, his son must marry Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret of the imperial province of Tenebrae. The treaty turns out to be a ruse for Niflheim to invade, and Kingsglaive soldier Nyx Ulric is caught up with Regis and Lunafreya in a battle to secure the future of Lucis. The film's voice cast includes Gō Ayano, Shioli Kutsuna and Tsutomu Isobe in Japanese; and Aaron Paul, Lena Headey and Sean Bean in English.
Kingsglaive was made as part of a planned multimedia expansion of Final Fantasy XV to negate having to develop a series of games using the setting and characters. Beginning production in 2014 by the same team that created Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005), Kingsglaive used discarded concepts from the original version of Final Fantasy XVs story, with the aim being to create a self-contained experience with a dedicated cast and relatable plot. Multiple external studios were brought in to help complete the project within the short development time. Its announcement was delayed to 2016 due to the early reveal of Final Fantasy XV.
Kingsglaive grossed $6.55 million during its limited theatrical run and earned a further in the United States from its DVD and Blu-ray releases. Reception to the film was generally negative, with praise going to the visuals and lead actors' performances, while the story and supporting cast were widely criticized.
Synopsis
Setting
Kingsglaive takes place on the Earth-like world of Eos, running parallel to the opening events of Final Fantasy XV. The kingdom of Lucis is home to a magical Crystal, given to humanity by the world's deities and used by the ruling Caelum dynasty to defend Lucis from invaders via a magical barrier known as the Wall. The Crystal is kept in a special chamber within the Royal Citadel, its powers only acces |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markt%2BTechnik | Markt+Technik is a publisher of books and magazines based on computer topics which was established in 1976.
The publisher became well known in the 1980s and 1990s through the publications of computer magazines such as 64'er, Power Play, Happy Computer and Computer Persönlich. The publishing house also published books and software for home computers, in particular for the Commodore 64, including dBASE and GEOS. They also published compendia for programming and PC applications.
In the 1990s, the book business was separated from the magazine business. The magazines were initially spun off into the subsidiary Magna Media Verlag AG and then later (around 1998) introduced into the WEKA Verlagsgruppe.
In February 2013, the Pearson Germany GmbH announced that for economic reasons the publishing series Markt+Technik would end in the summer of 2013 and no more new books would be published.
In May 2014 Braun Handels GmbH bought the rights to the brand, as well as the rights to all past series of books, and reestablished Markt+Technik.

Zowe
Zowe is the first open source project for z/OS. It was announced in August 2018 at SHARE in St. Louis together with the open beta release of version 0.9 that contained contributions from IBM, Computer Associates, and Rocket Software. Version 1.0 was released in February 2019. In September 2019 Phoenix Software International obtained Zowe conformance for their (E)JES Command Line Interface plugins and REST API extension.
It narrows the skills gap between new and legacy z/OS developers by offering the choice to work with z/OS either through a Command Line Interface, a "Zowe Explorer" Visual Studio extension, a web browser served from the Zowe Application Framework, or through REST APIs and web sockets served through the API Mediation Layer. Zowe is an extensible platform for tools, and provides the ability for extension through CLI plugins, new applications to be added to the web desktop, and onboarding of REST APIs to the API Mediation Layer.
The Zowe conformance program provides certification accreditation to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and System Integrators (SIs) building and distributing Zowe extensions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Luke%20Deakin | Robert Luke Deakin is an Australian social entrepreneur and cyber security expert, born in Nambour, Queensland, in 1966. He established a Melbourne-based social enterprise in 2016, which focuses on children at risk of social isolation, particularly children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). He also provides advice to selected organisations on national cyber security, particularly in the area of critical infrastructure protection, economic information warfare and development of the Australian Cyber Security Workforce.
Social enterprise
Deakin has identified specific ways that children with ASD are attracted to certain types of play, in particular the systematic nature of construction systems such as Lego. In 2011, he hired space at the Abbotsford Convent and started running Brick Clubs. These clubs provided families affected by autism with an opportunity for children to meet and share their interest in the Lego system and afforded respite for families.
Deakin used his knowledge of construction play to improve social interaction and communication among children who have social difficulties. In particular, the Brick Clubs use social play strategies to reinforce appropriate behaviours, improve interaction and enhance the communication between children.
In 2012, Deakin was awarded a Churchill Fellowship, which allowed him to visit Singapore, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Denmark to learn about establishing national programmes to assist young children with autism to overcome social isolation and to help build friendships.
Deakin is an alumnus of "The Crunch", one of Australia's most highly respected and rigorous social enterprise start-up programs run by social traders with the Melbourne Business School at the University of Melbourne. Brick Club was scaled up after completion of the Crunch Program with the establishment of a studio in Fairfield, Victoria. The number of sessions available to families was increased at the studio and broader advocacy of the need for social opportunities also increased. Deakin has provided support and advocacy to many local communities to establish their own local Brick Club operations.
The growth of Brick Clubs was funded entirely through the social enterprise activities. The enterprise raises funds from large-scale public events, school programmes and other activities that focus science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), especially Lego Model Exhibitions, Lego Serious Play, robotics, 3D printing, children's coding and Minecraft games. Many hundreds of organisations now continue to encourage and support LEGO use in a wide variety of social developmental modes and so Deakin was able to eventually wind down his direct involvement in clubs and return a focus on the security quandaries in Cyber and AI.
The concept of brick based clubs and play events to bring children together has spread rapidly driven by a multitude of entities from individual local champions to global |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirundu%E2%80%93Beitbridge%20Regional%20Road%20Corridor | Chirundu–Beitbridge Road Corridor is a Trans-African Highway Network Zimbabwean link between South Africa and Zambia. It is part of the North–South Corridor Project and forms the entire Zimbabwean section of the Cape to Cairo Road.
The North-South Multimodal Transport Corridor is under the African Union PIDA.
The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) is an all-Africa program to develop a vision, policies and strategies for development of priority trans-regional and continental infrastructure, which includes transport; hence the rehabilitation of regional road corridors. The African Development Bank being the Executing Agency for the Programme.
The local road corridor has two legs; the Chirundu–Harare and the Harare–Beitbridge highways.
The road has been divided into sections described here as "links" and the rehabilitation of the highway is being carried out in various "links" which would eventually see the whole route done.
The links are numbered from north to south; from Chirundu border with Zambia to Beitbridge border with South Africa.
Chirundu-Harare
Background
The Chirundu-Harare Highway which is a regional road corridor is designated as the R3 Highway and the A1 Highway on Zimbabwe's Road Network. It runs generally in a south-easterly direction from Chirundu Border Post to Harare, a distance of . The Chirundu-Harare Highway is part of the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN Link Nr 22) as well as the Trans-African Highway Nr 9 (Beira-Lobito Highway).
On the Zambian side the highway continues north as T2 Highway, through Zambia's Capital City (Lusaka), to Tunduma, the border between Zambia and Tanzania.
Major local and regional trunk routes in Zimbabwe are fully paved and of modern design. However most of them, including this one needs retouching.
Operations
The North-South Corridor Aid-for-Trade Programme's specific objective is to contribute to the upgrading of the Chirundu-Harare Highway section of the North-South Corridor road network through rehabilitation of the highway. The Chirundu to Harare section of the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN Link Nr 22) has 4 road links to be rehabilitated.
Link 1 Chirundu–Makuti
Link 1 runs a distance of from Chirundu Border Post to Hells Gate. This section covers the Zambezi Escapement area. It is mountainous and has a number of very steep passes. In this section of the road there is a turn-off (to the right or east) to Manna Pools and the Hurungwe Safari Area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacknet | Hacknet is a 2015 video game that allows the player to perform simulated computer hacking.
Gameplay
The game simulates a Unix-like operating system, with every main element of the game's interface having its own window. Windows are tiled in a fashion highly reminiscent of the i3 window manager. The windows have multiple tiling configurations with their own wallpapers and color schemes, which can be found as files as the game progresses. The main gameplay is done through two large interfaces, a graphical display, and a Unix terminal. Both interfaces are essential for gameplay, though the player can use either as their "main" interface. Along with the terminal, the computers in the game simulate a Unix-like file system, through which the player can explore the computer, and even destroy them by deleting critical system files. The core of the gameplay is to connect to other computers and run dedicated programs to break the security and acquire superuser privileges on the computer. The general procedure is to first run a scan to see what protections the computer has and then run programs matching what the scan revealed. Each program takes up a certain amount of memory, which the player has to manage, as there is only a limited amount of memory to share.
The game notably averts the common trope of bouncing a connection between several intermediary computers before reaching the target computer. Instead, a simplified system of a variable speed countdown is used to force the player to act quickly. If this countdown reaches zero, the player is given one last chance to avoid a game over by hacking their ISP and changing their IP address.
Once superuser privileges have been obtained, the file system of the computer is investigated. The exact task on each computer varies for each mission, but can, in general, be performed by running a specific command to access one or more files on the system.
A few systems have specialized interfaces, such as email systems and databases.
Most computer systems contain text files that can be read. A large majority of the files are quotes from the website bash.org.
Story
The game begins with the player being automatically contacted by a user by the username "Bit". The automated message tells the player that it was sent in the event of Bit's death and asks that the player investigate his death.
Bit then starts to teach you the game mechanics by way of simple missions. Bit will then tell you to join the hacking group Entropy.
After the tutorial, the story largely takes a back seat for open-ended gameplay, with a mission to address Bit's fate. This mission suggests that Bit was involved in some sort of illegal activity.
Naix
One of the missions the player takes on involves an opposing hacker by the alias of "Naix". They take offense to being investigated and attack the player by hacking their system. This attack can be defended against by launching the shell program on the user's computer and using the trap feature to |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid-core%20computing | Hybrid-core computing is the technique of extending a commodity instruction set architecture (e.g. x86) with application-specific instructions to accelerate application performance. It is a form of heterogeneous computing wherein asymmetric computational units coexist with a "commodity" processor.
Hybrid-core processing differs from general heterogeneous computing in that the computational units share a common logical address space, and an executable is composed of a single instruction stream—in essence a contemporary coprocessor. The instruction set of a hybrid-core computing system contains instructions that can be dispatched either to the host instruction set or to the application-specific hardware.
Typically, hybrid-core computing is best deployed where the predominance of computational cycles are spent in a few identifiable kernels, as is often seen in high-performance computing applications. Acceleration is especially pronounced when the kernel's logic maps poorly to a sequence of commodity processor instructions, and/or maps well to the application-specific hardware.
Hybrid-core computing is used to accelerate applications beyond what is currently physically possible with off-the-shelf processors, or to lower power & cooling costs in a data center by reducing computational footprint. (i.e., to circumvent obstacles such as the power/density challenges faced with today's commodity processors).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit%20dependency%20network | A benefit dependency network (BDN) is a diagram of cause and effect relationships. It is drawn according to a specific structure that visualizes multiple cause-effect relationships organized into capabilities, changes and benefits. It can be considered a business-oriented method of what engineers would call goal modeling and is usually read from right to left to provide a one-page overview of how a business generates value, starting with the high level drivers for change, such as found with Digital Initiatives or cross-organizational ERP management. First proposed by Cranfield School of Management as part of a Benefits Management approach the original model has developed to encompass all the domains required for Benefits Management namely Why, What, Who and How. Recent development has added weights to the connections to create a weighted graph so that causal analysis, sometimes referred to as causality, is possible on the represented value chains so different strategies can be compared according to value and outcome. These chains provide a way to construct a compelling story or message that shows how the benefits proposed can be realized from the changes being considered. In software engineering, Jabbari et al. report the use of BDN for the purpose of software process improvement. They use BDN to structure the results of a systematic review on DevOps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-device%20tracking | Cross-device tracking is technology that enables the tracking of users across multiple devices such as smartphones, television sets, smart TVs, and personal computers.
More specifically, cross-device tracking is a technique in which technology companies and advertisers deploy trackers, often in the form of unique identifiers, cookies, or even ultrasonic signals, to generate a profile of users across multiple devices, not simply one. For example, one such form of this tracking uses audio beacons, or inaudible sounds, emitted by one device and recognized through the microphone of the other device.
This form of tracking is used primarily by technology companies and advertisers who use this information to piece together a cohesive profile of the user. These profiles inform and predict the type of advertisements the user receives.
Background
There are many ways in which online tracking has manifested itself. Historically, when companies wanted to track users' online behavior, they simply had users sign in to their website. This is a form of deterministic cross-device tracking, in which the user's devices are associated with their account credentials, such as their email or username. Consequently, while the user is logged in, the company can keep a running history of what sites the user has been to and which ads the user interacted with between computers and mobile devices.
Eventually, cookies were deployed by advertisers, providing each user with a unique identifier in his or her browser so that the user's preferences can be monitored. This unique identifier informs the placement of relevant, targeted ads the user may receive. Cookies were also used by companies to improve the user experience, enabling users to pick up where they left off on websites. However, as users began using multiple devices––up to around five––advertisers became confused as to how to track, manage, and consolidate this data across multiple devices as the cookie-based model suggested that each device––whether a phone, computer, or tablet––was a different person.
Other technologies such as supercookies, which stay on computers long after the user deletes his or her cookies, and web beacons, which are unique images from a URL, are also used by trackers and advertisers to gain increased insight into users' behavior. However, advertisers were still limited in that only one device was able to be tracked and associated with a user.
Thus, cross-device tracking initially emerged as a means of generating a profile of users across multiple devices, not simply one.
One such tactic for cross-device tracking is called browser fingerprinting, and occurs when browsers, which are modifiable to the users' tastes, produce a unique signal that companies or advertisers can use to single out the user. Browser fingerprinting has been a cause for concern because of its effectiveness and also since it does not allow for users to opt-out of the tracking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwinana%20freight%20railway | The Kwinana freight railway lines are a network of railways predominantly servicing the heavy industrial areas at Kwinana Beach south of Perth and to provide for the transport of freight servicing Fremantle Harbour, Kewdale Intermodal Facility and other freight destinations in Perth. While some lines were constructed in the 1900s, most of the network was constructed in the 1950s and 1960s.
Arc Infrastructure leases the majority of the network, with the exception of privately owned spur lines.
Route Components
The Kwinana and Forrestfield freight rail network comprises several sections of lines including sections which have now been closed, existing and proposed, which are described below.
Robbs Jetty–Kwinana
After 1898 the Fremantle railway line terminated at Robbs Jetty in North Coogee. On 1 July 1903 the line was extended south along the coast to Coogee servicing Woodman Point.: On 19 December 1955 the line was extended to Kwinana to provide a rail service to the Kwinana Oil Refinery
The line was made redundant by the later construction of the freight line further east, and on 16 September 1973 the section between Coogee and Naval Base (north of the Alcoa refinery) was closed. The section between Robbs Jetty and Coogee closed in February 1986.
Robbs Jetty–Armadale
A line between Robbs Jetty and Jandakot (including Spearwood) was opened in 1906, and the line was extended to Armadale in 1907 as a means of providing transport for agricultural goods in the Forrestdale area to Fremantle Harbour.
With the construction of a new railway line between Kewdale and Cockburn, the Jandakot to Armadale section closed on 23 January 1964, followed by Bibra Lake to Jandakot on 6 June 1966. The Spearwood to Bibra Lake section was retained to serve CBH Group and Elders Limited sidings until it too closed in 1991.
The section between Robbs Jetty and Spearwood remains in use today.
Spearwood–Cockburn Cement
A branch line was constructed off the Robbs Jetty–Armadale line at Spearwood to link with the Cockburn Cement plant in Munster in 1961.
The line now forms part of the main freight line between Kwinana and Fremantle.
Midland Junction–Kewdale–Welshpool
A freight railway was constructed between the Midland line west of the Midland Junction railway station and the Armadale line at Welshpool in 1957. The line provided access to the Kewdale Intermodal Facility - a major (if not the main) rail freight terminal in Perth.
The section between Kewdale and Welshpool is now closed. The rest of the line was replaced in 1968 by a new route to the east of the new Forrestfield Marshalling Yard.
Kewdale–Kwinana and the East–West Australia rail corridor
Prior to the 1960s, the majority of railways constructed in Western Australia were built at narrow gauge, with the exception of the standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway linking Western Australia with South Australia at Kalgoorlie. In 1961 the Western Australian Government passed the Railways (Standard Gauge) Const |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore%20bus | The Commodore serial IEEE-488 bus (IEC Bus), is Commodore's interface for primarily magnetic disk data storage and printers for Commodore 8-bit home computers: the VIC-20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Plus/4, Commodore 16, and Commodore 65.
Description and history
The parallel IEEE-488 interface used on the Commodore PET (1977) computer line was too costly, so a cost reduced version was developed, which consisted of a stripped down, serial version of the IEEE-488 interface, with only a few signals remaining; however, the general protocol layout was kept. Commodore began using this bus with the VIC-20 (1980). Connection to the computer uses a DIN-6 connector (DIN 45322).
Transfer speed
Interface
Protocol description
The bus signals are digital single-ended open collector TTL and active when low. Bus devices have to provide their own power.
Because the bus lines are electrically open collector it works like a long OR gate between all device line drivers. The logical value for ground is true and vice versa. Any device may set a line "true". A line only becomes "false" if all devices signal false.
Transmission begins with the bus talker holding the Clock line true, and the listener(s) holding the Data line true. To begin the talker releases the Clock line to false. When all bus listeners are ready to receive they release the Data line to false. If the talker waits more than 200 µs without the Clock line going true (idle state), listeners have to perform End-or-Identify (EOI).
If the Data line being false (released) isn't acknowledged by the talker within 200 µs, the listener knows that the talker is in the process of EOI that means "this character will be the last one." When the listener detects the 200 µs timeout, it must acknowledge this by pulling the Data line true for at least 60 µs, and then release it. The talker can revert to transmitting again within 60 µs by pulling the Clock line true.
Data is eight bits starting with the least significant bit. The Data line is set according to the bit to send (1=true=ground). Once the Data line is set, the Clock line is released to false. The Clock and Data lines will be held steady for at least 20 µs (except for Commodore 64 that needs 60 µs). After 8 bits has been sent, the talker releases the Data line to false and the listener then acknowledge the talker by pulling the Data line true within 1000 µs. After this the talker sets the Clock line true and listener sets the Data line true thus back where the transmission begun. If an EOI is signaled by holding the Clock line false the transmission is ended and the listener acknowledge this by pulling the Data line true for 200 µs.
The ATN line is set to true and bytes are sent like above to all devices, but the byte is interpreted as one of the commands "Talk," "Listen," "Untalk," and "Unlisten". That tell a specific device to become a talker or listener. Only devices with matching device numbers switch into talk and listen mode. A secondary |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecturally%20significant%20requirements | Architecturally significant requirements are those requirements that have a measurable effect on a computer system’s architecture. This can comprise both software and hardware requirements. They are a subset of requirements, the subset that affects the architecture of a system in measurably identifiable ways.
Relation to non-functional requirements and quality attributes
Architecturally significant requirements were only recently, as of 2016, recognized as an important notion. When talking about architecture, the terms non-functional requirements or quality attributes are often used. However recent empirical studies show that, for a software system, not all non-functional requirements affect its architecture, and functional requirements can also affect its architecture. This research suggests that, when discussing software architecture, it is worth distinguishing which software requirements are architecturally significant, as well as whether they are functional.
Characteristics
Architecturally significant requirements can be characterized from the following aspects.
Descriptive characteristics
Architecturally significant requirements are often hard to define and articulate, tend to be expressed vaguely, tend to be initially neglected, tend to be hidden within other requirements, and are subjective, variable, and situational. Other requirements could also demonstrate these descriptive characteristics. However, architecturally significant requirements’ significance made these manifestations unique and challenging.
Indicators
A requirement that has wide effect, targets trade-off points, is strict (constraining, limiting, non-negotiable), assumption breaking, or difficult to achieve is likely to be architecturally significant.
Indicators for architectural significance that have been reported in the literature include:
The requirement is associated with high business value and/or technical risk.
The requirement is a concern of a particularly influential stakeholder.
The requirement has a first-of-a-kind character, e.g. none of the responsibilities of already existing components in the architecture addresses it.
The requirement has QoS/SLA characteristics that deviate from all ones that are already satisfied by the evolving architecture.
The requirement has caused budget overruns or client dissatisfaction in a previous project with a similar context.
The OpenUP and Peter Eeles discuss additional criteria for architectural significance in several articles and presentations. Seven criteria for architectural significance were discussed at the European Conference on Software Architecture in 2020: business value/risk, stakeholder concern, quality level, external dependencies, cross-cutting, first-of-a-kind, source of problems on past projects. These criteria are described in an

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%20Tebet | David William Tebet (December 27, 1913 – June 7, 2005) was an American theater publicist, network executive and, early in his career, a press agent for Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar.
After the end of Your Show of Shows, Tebet became the vice president of talent relations for the National Broadcasting Company. In his job title, Tebet was responsible for recruiting potential stars to NBC and once getting them there, Tebet then held the responsibility for not only keeping the talent with the network, but also keeping the talent “relatively pleased” with the network during their respective tenures.
Tebet was responsible for the recruitment of Johnny Carson to The Tonight Show in 1962 and keeping him with the network for 30 years. Along with Carson, Tebet was also responsible for the recruitment of Michael Landon, James Garner, Dean Martin and Redd Foxx to the NBC television network.
Early life and early career
Tebet was born on December 27, 1913, in Atlanta, Georgia. Most of his childhood, however, was spent in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His earliest jobs were part-time working as a theater usher for the former Shubert Theatre in Philadelphia. Tebet majored in journalism and graduated from Temple University. Soon after, Tebet moved to New York where he became a publicist on Broadway. In 1950, Tebet got his first major job handling publicity for NBC's new variety program Your Show of Shows which starred comedians Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca. He also helped handle talent for the show's producer, Max Liebman.
Career at NBC
In 1956, Tebet joined NBC as a programming executive and was soon made vice president for talent relations, a job, he boasted, that made him "the only person in this company without a job description." During his first few years at NBC, Tebet recruited George Burns to the network after he finished his eight years on CBS's The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.
Arguably, Tebet's most major accomplishment at his job was recruiting Johnny Carson to fill Jack Paar's position as host of The Tonight Show. Paar departed from The Tonight Show in 1962. At that time Carson was host of the Goodson-Todman daytime game show Who Do You Trust?. Tebet was watching the game show and saw Carson. Impressed with his hosting style, Tebet approached Carson who, reluctantly, agreed to host The Tonight Show. However, Carson could not immediately start his new job as he still had 26 weeks left on his contract with ABC. So, Tebet had a series of guest hosts on the program until Carson took over hosting duties in October 1962.
Over the next decade, Tebet met the accommodations of Bob Hope and lured Dean Martin, James Garner, O. J. Simpson and Redd Foxx to NBC. After nearly 20 years of working in talent relations, Tebet resigned from the network in 1979.
After NBC and personal life
After he left NBC, Carson founded Carson Productions and Tebet became vice president of the company. Tebet left Carson Productions in 1993.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top%20trading%20cycle | Top trading cycle (TTC) is an algorithm for trading indivisible items without using money. It was developed by David Gale and published by Herbert Scarf and Lloyd Shapley.
Housing market
The basic TTC algorithm is illustrated by the following house allocation problem. There are students living in the student dormitories. Each student lives in a single house. Each student has a preference relation on the houses, and some students prefer the houses assigned to other students. This may lead to mutually-beneficial exchanges. For example, if student 1 prefers the house allocated to student 2 and vice versa, both of them will benefit by exchanging their houses. The goal is to find a core-stable allocation – a re-allocation of houses to students, such that all mutually-beneficial exchanges have been realized (i.e., no group of students can together improve their situation by exchanging their houses).
The algorithm works as follows.
Ask each agent to indicate his "top" (most preferred) house.
Draw an arrow from each agent to the agent, denoted , who holds the top house of .
Note that there must be at least one cycle in the graph (this might be a cycle of length 1, if some agent currently holds his own top house). Implement the trade indicated by this cycle (i.e., reallocate each house to the agent pointing to it), and remove all the involved agents from the graph.
If there are remaining agents, go back to step 1.
The algorithm must terminate, since in each iteration we remove at least one agent. It can be proved that this algorithm leads to a core-stable allocation.
For example, suppose the agents' preference ordering is as follows (where only the at most 4 top choices are relevant):
In the first iteration, the only top-trading-cycle is {3} (it is a cycle of length 1), so agent 3 keeps his current house and leaves the market.
In the second iteration, agent 1's top house is 2 (since house 3 is unavailable). Similarly, agent 2's top house is 5 and agent 5's top house is 1. Hence, {1,2,5} is a top-trading-cycle. It is implemented: agent 1 gets house 2, agent 2 gets house 5 and agent 5 gets house 1. These three agents leave the market.
In the third iteration, the top-trading-cycle {4,6} is, so agents 4 and 6 exchange their houses. There are no more agents left, so the game is over. The final allocation is:
This allocation is core-stable, since no coalition can improve its situation by mutual exchange.
The same algorithm can be used in other situations, for example: suppose there are 7 doctors that are assigned to night-shifts; each doctor is assigned to a night-shift in one day of the week. Some doctors prefer the shifts given to other doctors. The TTC algorithm can be used here to attain a maximal mutually-beneficial exchange.
Properties
TTC is a truthful mechanism. This was proved by Alvin Roth.
When the preferences are strict (there are no indifferences), TTC always finds a Pareto-efficient allocation. Moreover, it always finds a core- |
