https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuters%20Digital%20Vision%20Program | Reuters Digital Vision Program (RDVP) was an academic program.
History
RDVP was funded by the Reuters Foundation and encouraged innovative applications of computing and communications in the developing world. Located at Stanford University's Center for the Study of Language and Information, the Program supported social entrepreneurs and organizations who sought to leverage technology-based solutions in the interest of humanitarian, educational, and sustainable development goals. The Program fostered interdisciplinary projects and prototyping efforts that address real needs in underserved communities.
The core of the Program was a nine-month Fellowship course that brought together 12-15 experienced technologists and social entrepreneurs from around the globe. Candidates from a wide range of corporate, educational, government, and non-profit positions applied to the Program, located on the Stanford campus in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Accepted Fellows spent a sabbatical year in residence at Stanford, where they collaborated with faculty, students, commercial technologists, and — most importantly — each other as they work on their projects. Upon completion of the course, Fellows were awarded a certificate from Stanford.
Each week during the academic year the Reuters Digital Vision Program invited technology leaders and innovators from the academic, corporate, government, and non-profit sectors to visit the Program and host a seminar with the DV Fellows.
Ending
The program ended in 2007.
The last known official post of RDVP was a blogpost on June 19, 2007. The last known fellows' blog post wasn't until January 17, 2010.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey%20Samson | Audrey Samson is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist and researcher whose work points to the materiality of data and its consequences. She is largely known for her exploration of erasure as a means of knowledge production through digital data funerals.
Samson studied Media Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, where she obtained a MFA in 2007.
Together with Sabrina Basten, she co-founded Roger10-4. Their work was featured in Arte, NRK, and Motherboard. She has been an active member of the networked performance group aether9, and the feminist tech network Genderchangers. Samson is also known by the pseudonym ideacritik, and is part of the duo FRAUD, where she collaborates with the artist Fran Gallardo.
Samson's Dust2Seed project was proposed to memorialise a deceased person by encoding their personal data as DNA that would be synthesised and grafted into the DNA of a seedling, so a tree would grow embodying the deceased person's data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama%20Papers | The Panama Papers () are 11.5 million leaked documents (or 2.6 terabytes of data) that were published beginning on April 3, 2016. The papers detail financial and attorney–client information for more than 214,488 offshore entities. The documents, some dating back to the 1970s, were created by, and taken from, former Panamanian offshore law firm and corporate service provider Mossack Fonseca, and compiled with similar leaks into a searchable database.
The documents contain personal financial information about wealthy individuals and public officials that had previously been kept private. The publication of these documents made it possible to establish the prosecution of Jan Marsalek, who is still a person of interest to a number of European governments due to his revealed links with Russian intelligence, and international financial fraudster Harald Joachim Von Der Goltz. While offshore business entities are legal (see Offshore Magic Circle), reporters found that some of the Mossack Fonseca shell corporations were used for illegal purposes, including fraud, tax evasion, and evading international sanctions.
"John Doe", the whistleblower who leaked the documents to German journalist Bastian Obermayer from the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), remains anonymous, even to the journalists who worked on the investigation. "My life is in danger", the whistleblower told them. In a May 6, 2016, document, Doe cited income inequality as the reason for the action and said the documents were leaked "simply because I understood enough about their contents to realize the scale of the injustices they described". Doe had never worked for any government or intelligence agency and expressed willingness to help prosecutors if granted immunity from prosecution. After SZ verified that the statement did in fact come from the source for the Panama Papers, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) posted the full document on its website.
SZ asked the ICIJ for help because of the amount of data involved. Journalists from 107 media organizations in 80 countries analyzed documents detailing the operations of the law firm. After more than a year of analysis, the first news stories were published on April 3, 2016, along with 150 of the documents themselves. The project represents an important milestone in the use of data journalism software tools and mobile collaboration.
The documents were dubbed the Panama Papers because of the country they were leaked from, but the Panamanian government expressed strong objections to the name over concerns that it would tarnish the government's and country's image worldwide, as did other entities in Panama and elsewhere. Some media outlets covering the story have used the name "Mossack Fonseca papers".
In October 2020, German authorities issued an international arrest warrant for the two founders of the law firm at the core of the tax evasion scandal exposed by the Panama Papers. Cologne prosecutors are seeking Ge |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PascalABC.NET | PascalABC.NET is a high-level general-purpose programming language supporting multiple paradigms. PascalABC.NET is based on Delphi's Object Pascal, but also has influences from C#, Python, Kotlin and Haskell. It is distributed both as a command-line tool for Windows (.NET Framework), Linux and MacOS (Mono), and with an integrated development environment for Windows and Linux, including interactive debugger, IntelliSense system, form designer, code templates and code auto-formatting.
PascalABC.NET is implemented for the .NET Framework platform, so that it is compatible with all .NET libraries and utilizes all the features of Common Language Runtime, such as garbage collection, exception handling, and generics. Some language constructions, e.g. tuples, sequences, and lambdas, are based on regular .NET types. PascalABC.NET is ideologically close to Oxygene, but, unlike it, provides high compatibility with Delphi.
History of PascalABC.NET
PascalABC.NET was developed by a group of enthusiasts at the Institute of Mathematics, Mechanics, and Computer Science in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. In 2003, a predecessor of the modern PascalABC.NET, called Pascal ABC, was implemented by associate professor Stanislav Mikhalkovich to be used for teaching schoolchildren instead of Turbo Pascal, which became outdated and incompatible with modern operating systems but was still used for educational purposes. Pascal ABC was implemented as an interpreted programming language, that led to a significant lack of performance. Four years after that it was completely rewritten by students Ivan Bondarev, Alexander Tkachuk, and Sergey Ivanov as a compiled programming language for the .NET platform. In 2009, PascalABC.NET started to be actively used for teaching high school students. By 2015, the number of users of the language had increased significantly. It began to be actively used throughout Russia in schools and at programming contests, surpassing FreePascal. Since then, the PascalABC.NET developers have set themselves the goal of actively incorporating modern features into the language. In the same year, PascalABC.NET became an open source project distributed under the LGPLv3 license.
In 2017 and 2022, independent audit of PascalABC.NET public repository was conducted. Based on the results of the static check, potentially dangerous code fragments were listed that require additional analysis by developers. It was also noted that the overall quality of the code could be improved. To do this, code duplication and redundant checks should be eliminated, and refactoring should be performed more carefully.
Use in school and higher education
Designed for education, PascalABC.NET remains the most common programming language in Russian schools and one of the recommended languages for passing the Unified State Exam on informatics. In the Southern Federal University, it is used as the first language for teaching students majoring in computer science, and for teaching children in one |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit%20Value%20Problem | The Circuit Value Problem (or Circuit Evaluation Problem) is the computational problem of computing the output of a given Boolean circuit on a given input.
The problem is complete for P under uniform AC reductions. Note that, in terms of time complexity, it can be solved in linear time simply by a topological sort.
The Boolean Formula Value Problem (or Boolean Formula Evaluation Problem) is the special case of the problem when the circuit is a tree. The Boolean Formula Value Problem is complete for NC.
The problem is closely related to the Boolean Satisfiability Problem which is complete for NP and its complement, the Propositional Tautology Problem, which is complete for co-NP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding%20%28object-oriented%20programming%29 | In object-oriented programming, forwarding means that using a member of an object (either a property or a method) results in actually using the corresponding member of a different object: the use is forwarded to another object. Forwarding is used in a number of design patterns, where some members are forwarded to another object, while others are handled by the directly used object. The forwarding object is frequently called a wrapper object, and explicit forwarding members are called wrapper functions.
Delegation
Forwarding is often confused with delegation; formally, they are complementary concepts. In both cases, there are two objects, and the first (sending, wrapper) object uses the second (receiving, wrappee) object, for example to call a method. They differ in what self refers to on the receiving object (formally, in the evaluation environment of the method on the receiving object): in delegation it refers to the sending object, while in forwarding it refers to the receiving object. Note that self is often used implicitly as part of dynamic dispatch (method resolution: which function a method name refers to).
For example, given the following code:
// Sender
void n() {
print("n1");
}
// Receiver
void m() {
print("m2, ");
n();
}
void n() {
print("n2");
}
under delegation this will output m2, n1 because n() is evaluated in the context of the original (sending) object, while under forwarding this will output m2, n2 because n() is evaluated in the context of the receiving object.
In casual use, forwarding is often referred to as "delegation", or considered a form of delegation, but in careful usage they are clearly distinguished by what self refers to. While delegation is analogous to inheritance, allowing behavioral reuse (and concretely code reuse) without changing evaluation context, forwarding is analogous to composition, as execution depends only on the receiving (member) object, not the (original) sending object. In both cases, reuse is dynamic, meaning determined at run time (based on the object to which use is delegated or forwarded), rather than static, meaning determined at compile/link time (based on the class which is inherited from). Like inheritance, delegation allows the sending object to modify the original behavior, but is susceptible to problems analogous to the fragile base class; while forwarding provides stronger encapsulation and avoids these problems; see composition over inheritance.
Examples
A simple example of explicit forwarding in Java: an instance of B forwards calls to the foo method of its a field:
class B {
A a;
T foo() { return a.foo(); }
}
Note that when executing a.foo(), the this object is a (a subtype of A), not the original object (an instance of B). Further, a need not be an instance of A: it may be an instance of a subtype. Indeed, A need not even be a class: it may be an interface/protocol.
Contrast with inheritance, in which foo is defined in a superclass A (which must be a class, |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbit | Urbit is a decentralized personal server platform based on functional programming in a peer-to-peer network. The design seeks to give users control over their own computing.
The Urbit platform was created by neoreactionary political blogger Curtis Yarvin. The first code release was in 2010. The Urbit network was launched in 2013. The first user version was launched in April 2020.
As of 2022, the main software in an Urbit installation is a "bare-bones" text-based message board.
Functionality
Urbit OS1 launched in April 2020. The Point described Urbit as a "bare-bones messaging server" and compared it to 1990s Usenet.
Tlon, the company founded by Yarvin to build Urbit, has received seed funding from various investors since its inception, most notably Peter Thiel, whose Founders Fund, with venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz invested $1.1 million. The Urbit community talks up its association with and funding from Thiel, who has also backed Urbit public events.
The Point estimated Urbit's active user base as of September 2022 at "a few thousand."
Technical details
The Urbit software stack consists of a set of programming languages ("Hoon," a high-level functional programming language, and "Nock," its low-level compiled language); a single-function operating system built on those languages ("Arvo"); a runtime implementation of that operating system ("Vere"), public key infrastructure, built on the Ethereum blockchain ("Azimuth"), for each Urbit instance to participate in a decentralized network; and the decentralized network itself, an encrypted, peer-to-peer protocol.
The 128-bit Urbit identity space consists of 256 "galaxies", 65,280 "stars" (255 for each galaxy), and 4,294,901,760 "planets" (65,535 for each star) and comets under those.
Yarvin called Urbit "functional programming from scratch" in 2010. The Register described Urbit as having "reinvented some very Lisp-like technology." Reason described Urbit as "complicated for even the most seasoned of functional programmers".
Politics and controversy
In 2015, Yarvin's invitation to discuss Urbit at the Strange Loop programming conference was rescinded; the conference organizer said Yarvin's "mere inclusion and/or presence would overshadow the content of his talk."
In 2016, after Yarvin was invited to the functional programming conference LambdaConf to discuss Urbit, five speakers and three sponsors withdrew their participation. Their stated reason was Yarvin's claims that white people have higher IQs than black people and his support of slavery.
The source code and design sketches for the project alluded to some of Yarvin's views, including initially classifying users as "lords," "dukes," and "earls." Yarvin described the structure of the Urbit address space in 2010 as "digital feudalism."
In a 2019 blog post, Yarvin said Urbit "is not designed as a political structure". Josh Lehman, Executive Director of the Urbit Foundation, denied in 2022 that Urbit was "digital feudalism. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollerith%20Electronic%20Computer | The Hollerith Electronic Computer (HEC) was produced by the British Tabulating Machine Company (BTM) and was based on a design by Professor Andrew Booth of Birkbeck College, London. It was Britain's first mass-produced business computer. The prototype first worked at the end of 1951.
Origins
In 1950 John Womersley, who had previously led the team developing the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), joined the Unit record equipment company, BTM. He recognised that there was a need for smaller inexpensive computers and recruited Andrew Booth as a consultant to develop such a machine. Booth had previously worked for the British Rayon Research Association (BRRA) before moving to Birkbeck College in 1945. The BRRA had sponsored him to develop what became the All Purpose Electronic Computer (APEXC). He needed punched card input and output technologies and struck a deal with BTM, whereby they supplied him with these in return for their copying the machine that he was developing, including its magnetic drum memory. In March 1951, BTM's Dr Raymond 'Dickie' Bird with Bill Davis and Dickie Cox were dispatched to Fenny Compton in Warwickshire where Booth lived and where, in a rotting barn, he was developing the prototype of his machine.
Development
Dr Bird and his team built a copy of Booth's machine in the BTM premises at Icknield Way Letchworth, which they called HEC 1. It was 1.5 m high by 3m wide by 0.5m deep and used simple circuits, with approximately 1000 ex-Government thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) mainly 6J6s which were B7G-based double triodes. The memory consisted of a diameter, wide drum rotating at 3000 rpm containing 32 tracks each storing sixteen 32-bit words giving a total of 2kilobytes. The drum had a special track from which the electronics were clocked. The machine had an accumulator and a multiplier register which were arranged to allow double length multiplication. As the multiplicand was repeatedly added to the product, it got longer while the multiplier got shorter so that the product could fill the accumulator and then continue into the multiplier register. Multiplication took up to 640ms for a 32-bit multiplier, which needed 32 drum accesses.
Subsequently, the design was enhanced with larger capacity drums. A pre-production HEC 2 was exhibited at the Business Efficiency Exhibition at Olympia, London in June 1953 and in 1955, the first production machine called HEC 2M was delivered. Seven or eight HEC 2M systems were delivered to customers who included GE Research Laboratories, Thorn, Esso, MoD Boscombe Down, Royal Aircraft Establishment and RAE, Bedford (they had two for wind tunnel applications) and the Indian Mathematical Institute.
The next development was of a machine that was essentially a HEC 2 with a number of enhancements specifically designed for a commercial workload. This became known as the HEC 4. When in 1959 International Computers and Tabulators (ICT) was formed by a merge |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRFCAT | The Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT) is a computerized measure that was developed to be a reliable, valid, and sensitive measure of functional capacity, with the potential to demonstrate real-world functional improvements associated with cognitive change. The VRFCAT presents participants with a realistic simulated environment to recreate routine activities of daily living. The VRFCAT was developed by VeraSci under National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) phase 1 and phase 2 grants.
History
In an effort to address the unmet need for standard methods in the development of treatments of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia, representatives from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), NIMH, the pharmaceutical industry, and academia, formed the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) project. The MATRICS group and FDA representatives concluded that cognitive improvements alone, as measured by standardized neuropsychological assessments, were not a sufficient demonstration of drug efficacy to enable an indication for cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia. The approval of new treatments for cognitive impairments would also require evidence that the cognitive improvements are clinically meaningful. Thus, clinical trials of cognitive enhancing compounds in schizophrenia must demonstrate improvement on a standard cognitive measure and improvement on a co-primary measure indicating that those cognitive improvements have a meaningful impact on skills used in real-world functioning.
There are many indicators of real-world functioning in schizophrenia, such as the patient’s ability to hold employment, live independently, and maintain social relationships, but detecting changes may take longer to emerge than the duration of a typical clinical trial. Furthermore, real-world functional change is dependent upon a variety of circumstances unrelated to treatment, such as changes in the patient’s broader milieu. The MATRICS group thus recommended that clinical meaningfulness could be demonstrated through the use of tools measuring the potential to demonstrate real-world functional improvements associated with cognitive change rather than having to demonstrate actual functional change. The MATRICS group made no firm recommendations regarding which measure or measures should be used to provide evidence of a clinically meaningful effect as none of the existing instruments were viewed as sufficiently reliable, valid, and sensitive to treatment interventions during a clinical trial. To meet this need, the VRFCAT was designed to reliably assess functional capacity within the context of a simulated real-world environment.
Description
The VRFCAT uses the Unreal Engine to create a realistic, interactive, and immersive environment consisting of 4 mini-scenarios that follow a story, including: (1) exploring a kitchen, (2) cat |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20A.I.%20Love%20You%20chapters | is a Japanese manga series by author Ken Akamatsu. The story follows Hitoshi Kōbe, a high school guy who isn't good at anything but programming. He creates a program in particular named Program 30 which is that of a female, and is shocked when she comes to life in the real world due to a lightning storm. Hitoshi names her Saati and teaches her about the real world, while she instructs him on how to properly have a girlfriend. Things get more complex however when two more of Hitoshi's programs come to life, and a hacker goes after Saati's program. A.I. Love You was first serialized through Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 1994, but later moved to Magazine Special where it ended in 1997. The series was collected into nine manga volumes that were also released by Kodansha between 1994 and 1997. Two re-releases followed; however, each time a volume was deducted.
In 2003, Tokyopop acquired the license to release the series in North America. The story's title was changed but Tokyopop tried to keep a pun that had been used in the original Japanese title. Eight English language manga volumes were released between February 3, 2004, and April 12, 2005. The volumes were printed until 2009 when Tokyopop announced that the series would go out of print. The English adaptation was well received, and although reviewers pointed out that Akamatsu's artwork was not at the professional level yet, they praised the story and characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadix | Nomadix is a Woodland Hills, CA-based developer of network gateway equipment (which includes access gateways and traffic optimizers), used by hotels and other businesses to deliver Internet access to end users.
HistoryNomadix was founded in 1998 by UCLA Computer Science Professor Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, one of the founders of ARPANET, and a graduate student, Joel Short. The name Nomadix came from Kleinrock's studies of nomadic computing, which he described in a 2015 Barron's interview, "nomadic computing...refers to the capability that wherever I go, I should be able to connect seamlessly, and gain as much functionality and services as I was able to gain in my office, my home, my laboratory." Kleinrock served as the company's first CEO and Chairman, and Short served as Chief Technology Officer.
The company's first product, the Nomadix Universal Subscriber Gateway, shipped in September 1999. The gateway was designed to allow visiting computers to connect to the Internet, without needing extra equipment or software on the computer. Built-in payment gateway features managed optional billing and payment functions.
In February 2002, Nomadix announced a technology licensing deal for their Nomadix Service Engine (NSE) software with Agere Systems, now part of Avago Technologies, and at the time the second largest Wi-Fi vendor behind Cisco Systems.
In March 2002, the company announced a customized version of their Universal Subscriber Gateway (USG), designed in a partnership with wireless networking company Boingo Wireless, to allow businesses to set up commercial Wi-Fi hot spots.
In January 2004, the company was awarded the industry's first patent for redirecting a customer's computer to a sign-in page, also known as a "gateway" page.
In July 2004, Nomadix was sued by Carlsbad, CA-based IP3 Networks, a wireless networking competitor, for trade libel, for allegedly telling customers that IP3 was stealing their technology. In February 2006, the case was dismissed.
In December 2006, Nomadix was acquired by Singapore-based MagiNet, a provider of wireless hospitality solutions in the Asia pacific region. The company was to continue operating under the Nomadix name.
In March 2007, Nomadix sued competitor Second Rule, which by then had acquired IP3's NetAccess gateway, for infringing on five of Nomadix's patents.
In December 2007, it was announced that MagiNet was acquired by DOCOMO interTouch Pte. Ltd, a subsidiary of Japan's NTT DOCOMO, for $150M.
In March 2009, a judge awarded Nomadix a $3.2M judgment in the Second Rule case, and granted a permanent injunction.
In November 2009, the company filed patent infringement lawsuits against eight companies, including Hewlett Packard, Wayport, Inc., iBAHN, LodgeNet and Aruba Networks, seeking damages and injunctions over the use of eight of its patents.
In June 2012, Nomadix launched the AG 5800 access gateway, designed for large venues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation%20in%20manufacturing%20systems | Simulation in manufacturing systems is the use of software to make computer models of manufacturing systems, so to analyze them and thereby obtain important information. It has been syndicated as the second most popular management science among manufacturing managers. However, its use has been limited due to the complexity of some software packages, and to the lack of preparation some users have in the fields of probability and statistics.
This technique represents a valuable tool used by engineers when evaluating the effect of capital investment in equipment and physical facilities like factory plants, warehouses, and distribution centers. Simulation can be used to predict the performance of an existing or planned system and to compare alternative solutions for a particular design problem.
Objectives
The most important objective of simulation in manufacturing is the understanding of the change to the whole system because of some local changes. It is easy to understand the difference made by changes in the local system but it is very difficult or impossible to assess the impact of this change in the overall system. Simulation gives us some measure of this impact. Measures which can be obtained by a simulation analysis are:
Parts produced per unit time
Time spent in system by parts
Time spent by parts in queue
Time spent during transportation from one place to another
In time deliveries made
Build up of the inventory
Inventory in process
Percent utilization of machines and workers.
Some other benefits include Just-in-time manufacturing, calculation of optimal resources required, validation of the proposed operation logic for controlling the system, and data collected during modelling that may be used elsewhere.
The following is an example: In a manufacturing plant one machine processes 100 parts in 10 hours but the parts coming to the machine in 10 hours is 150. So there is a buildup of inventory. This inventory can be reduced by employing another machine occasionally. Thus we understand the reduction in local inventory buildup. But now this machine produces 150 parts in 10 hours which might not be processed by the next machine and thus we have just shifted the in-process inventory from one machine to another without having any impact on overall production
Simulation is used to address some issues in manufacturing as follows: In workshop to see the ability of system to meet the requirement, To have optimal inventory to cover for machine failures.
Methods
In the past, manufacturing simulation tools were classified as languages or simulators. Languages were very flexible tools, but rather complicated to use by managers and too time consuming. Simulators were more user friendly but they came with rather rigid templates that didn’t adapt well enough to the rapidly changing manufacturing techniques. Nowadays, there is software available that combines the flexibility and user friendliness of both, but still some authors have reported tha |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyola%20Cultural%20Action%20Foundation | Loyola Cultural Action Foundation (Spanish: ; ACLO) is a network of radio stations in southeast and southcentral Bolivia founded by the Jesuits in 1966, with headquarters in Sucre. It serves the largely indigenous people of this region and has included literacy in its programming from the start. It is currently involved in advocacy and education for participatory democracy in a plurinational state. It has undertaken direct action programs to strengthen community organizations and community-based media.
Programming
Programming is broadcast in the indigenous Quechuan language, but staff are required to prepare scripts in Spanish. The programming is primarily entertainment oriented. In 1990, the network started broadcasting the farmer education program Tornavuelta.
History
ACLO's roots go back to the Catholic bishops of Latin America at Medellin adopting the option for the poor recommended by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). In Bolivia in the 1960s the indigenous farmers were marginalized, with 69% illiteracy and little access to healthcare or government services. ACLO used literacy education to make the peasants aware to their own situation and their options. The education was carried on through ACLO's radio stations in Chuquisaca (1971), Potosí (1975), Yamparáeza (1977), and Tarija (1981), along with the newspaper En Marcha.
ACLO has been described as one of the few independent media outlets that covered the 2006 Bolivian Constituent Assembly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam%20Call%20for%20Action%20on%20Open%20Science | The Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science is a document that advocates for "full open access for all scientific publications", and endorses an environment where "data sharing and stewardship is the default approach for all publicly funded research".
History
The Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science was first produced as a draft at an Open Science meeting that was organized by the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the European Union on April 4 and 5, 2016, in Amsterdam. The draft presented to meeting participants in the morning of the 5th had twelve actions. These were commented on by participants, split up in various parallel sessions, and refined during the afternoon. The edits were not completed during the meeting and unlike the meeting schedule suggested, the Call text was not released on the 5th. Nevertheless, the draft was symbolically presented to Sander Dekker and the Dutch Presidency. On April 6, the updated version was released for public commenting on a wiki. In a mail which participants received it was stated that comments could be placed until 14 April.
The finalised Call for Action was input to the Competitiveness Council on 27 May, led by the Dutch State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science Sander Dekker. In the main results of this meeting a reference was made to the Call for Action in the document called "Outcome of the Council Meeting". It was also referred to in the Draft Council conclusions on the transition towards an Open Science system, point 3 under the section on Open Science. In the press comments on the meeting of the Competitiveness Council, the focus was mainly on the fact that European leaders call for ‘immediate’ open access to all scientific papers by 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20possible%20impact%20structures%20on%20Earth | According to the Planetary and Space Science Centre (PASSC) at the University of New Brunswick in Canada, there are 190 confirmed impact structures on Earth. Each is recorded in a database called the Earth Impact Database (EID).
List of confirmed and possible impact structures
The following tables list geological features on Earth that are known impact events as well as possible, but for which there is currently no confirming scientific evidence in the peer-reviewed literature, impact events. In order for a structure to be confirmed as an impact crater, it must meet a stringent set of well-established criteria. Some proposed impact structures are likely to eventually be confirmed, whereas others are likely to be shown to have been misidentified (see below). Recent extensive surveys have been done for Australian (2005), African (2014), and South American (2015) craters, as well as those in the Arab world (2016). A book review by A. Crósta and U. Reimold disputes some of the evidence presented for several of the South American structures.
Overview
Russia's Lake Cheko is thought by one research group to be the result of the famous Tunguska event, although sediments in the lake have been dated back more than 5,000 years. There is highly speculative conjecture about the supposed Sirente impact (c. 320 ± 90 AD) having caused the Roman emperor Constantine's vision at Milvian Bridge.
The Burckle crater and Umm al Binni structure are proposed to be behind the floods that affected Sumerian civilization. The Kachchh impact may have been witnessed by the Harappan civilization and mentioned as a fireball in Sanskrit texts.
Shortly after the Hiawatha Crater was discovered, researchers suggested that the impact could have occurred as late as ~12,800 years ago, leading some to associate it with the controversial Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH). James Kennett, a leading advocate of the YDIH said, "I'd unequivocally predict that this crater is the same age as the Younger Dryas."
These claims were criticised by other scholars. According to impact physicist Mark Boslough writing for Skeptical Inquirer the first reports of the impact released by science journalist Paul Voosen focused on this being a young crater which according to Boslough "set the tone for virtually all the media reporting to follow". Boslough argued, based on evidence and statistical probability, that once the crater has been drilled and researched "it will turn out to be much older." He complained that this important discovery "was tainted by connections to a widely discredited hypothesis and speculations that did not make it through peer review". The YDIH has since been refuted comprehensively by a team of earth scientists and impact experts.
A 2022 study using Argon–Argon dating of shocked zircon crystals in impact melt rocks found outwash less than 10 km downstream of the glacier pushed the estimate back to around 57.99 ± 0.54 million years ago, during the late Paleocene. Confir |

Prior to the launch of a 24-hour Italian speaking MTV, MTV viewers in Italy received the pan-European version of MTV. Regionalization of MTV in Europe began in March 1997 with the launch of a German-speaking MTV, followed by a UK branded channel in July of the same year. The Italian channel officially launched in London in September 1997, when its transmissions also entered into the television programming of Rete A.
In 2000, MTV Italy moved to the frequencies of the late TMC2 (already acquired by Telecom Italia and formerly known as Videomusic) thus becoming a standalone channel and getting more and more like every other "big" network in Italy, showing news, movie trailers and other things which would never have fit into the former schedules of the channel. The handover and the whole changing process was advertised with the name of "MTV Regeneration". The channel's operations moved from London to Milan.
On 5 July 2013, Telecom Italia Media announced it would be selling its 51% stake in MTV Italy to Viacom for €13.4 million. Telecom Italia Media committed to waiving its financial receivables of €9.7 million as part of the deal. The sale was completed on 12 September 2013.
On 13 June 2015, Italian newspaper La Repubblica anticipated the purchase of channel 8 occupied by MTV.
On 31 July 2015, Sky Italia took over ownership of the MTV free-to-air channel. The original MTV Italy changed its name to MTV8. On the same day, a new channel named MTV Next was launched, and then renamed to MTV.
Programming
Several shows were made up locally, featuring Italian music and artists. Some of the most popular shows on the channel were the Italian version of Total Request Live, LoveLine, Brand New, other are original ones like Very Victoria, Italo-Francese, Avere Ventanni and Hitlist Italia.
In 2016 MTV launched successful docu-reality Riccanza on rich kids of Italy, now on its third season, and in 2018 spinoffs Richissitudes - Riccanza Francia (co-produced with MTV France), Mamma che Riccanza! (on rich mums) and Riccanza - Vita da Cani (rich dogs).
MTV Italy also showed a variety of reality shows (mainly imported from MTV US) and TV series such as Scrubs, Less Than Perfect and The Office. From 1999 to 2010, the channel has shown several Japanese anime on a regular basis on the block Anime Night.
Main Italian hosts for MTV Italy were Victoria Cabello, Alessandro Cattelan, Carlo Pastore, and Elena Santarelli. Some of the former hosts of the channel are Andrea Pezzi, Camila Raznovich and Enrico Silvestrin (who are both also former MTV Europe VJs), Kris Grove, Kris Reichert, Giorgia Surina, Marco Maccarini, Paola Maugeri, Benedetta Zonca and Daniele Bossari.
Sister channels
MTV has six sister channels: MTV Hits, MTV Music, MTV Classic, MTV Rocks, MTV Dance and MTV Live HD.
In the summer of 2003, MTV Italy launched two satellite channels: MTV Hits, |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage%20Tragedies | Teenage Tragedies (aka Teenage Tragedy) is a compilation album of teen tragedy songs released on Rhino Records in 1984.
Release data
The album was conceived and compiled by Rhino Records co-founder Richard Foos. Boasting some "of the bossest splatter platters ever recorded," the album collects 10 examples of the teenage tragedy song including parodies of the genre. Most are from the late 1950s and early 1960s, with one track from the MTV era. Chart positions for each song, noted next to the track listing on the back cover, list eight of the selections as Top 10 hits (two of which went to No. 1) at the time of their original release.
The grisly "I Want My Baby Back" (also included on The Rhino Brothers Present the World's Worst Records in 1983) made the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965. The last song on the album, Julie Brown's "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun," was first independently released as a B-side in late 1983 and never officially charted; the following year, it was included on Goddess in Progress, a Rhino EP (catalog no. RNEP610) that immediately preceded this album (RNEP611) and became one of Rhino's biggest sellers of the mid-'80s.
The compilation was first issued as a vinyl LP, titled "Teenage Tragedies" on the spine and "Teenage Tragedy" in the cover art and on the labels. Following Rhino's distribution deal with Capitol/EMI in 1986, EMI Distribution released a budget-line cassette version in October 1989. The album has not been reissued on compact disc.
Packaging
At the time of the album's release, Rhino, founded in 1975, was still very much a novelty label, and the album cover bears the legend "The Rhino Brothers Present A Specially Priced Collection Of Dream-Date Discs With A Death Wish."
The cover art by Scott Shaw parodies, and is an homage to, romance comics of the 1950s such as Teen-Age Romances. Shaw's Teenage Tragedy comic book cover reflects the maudlin content of the songs within, with "Torrid Tunes of Terminal Teens" and a cover story teaser for "Prom Night of the Living Dead." The LP sleeve's back cover is die-cut, with a faux-3D image of a box of tissues, and one paper tissue glued into the packaging. (The tongue-in-cheek nature of the release extends to a back-cover testimonial by one Morey Jay, allegedly a DJ on Milwaukee AM station KILH – fake call letters that are unrelated to FM station WKLH, which began broadcasting in Milwaukee two years later, in 1986.)
Reception
Chicago Tribune music critic Tom Popson, reviewing the LP in 1985, wrote that the album reflects "a genre that had its heyday 20 to 25 years ago" and "is filled with the sad, shabby stories of young lovers who suffered the utmost in heart-wrenching, garment-rending, maximum-melodrama agony.”
In SPIN’s November 1988 issue, writer Legs McNeil noted the compilation's appeal – “This LP makes us here at SPIN nostalgic for great slaughtered-teen tear-jerkers and gives us pause to wonder why there are not modernized versions of the genre” |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute%20Force%20%28album%29 | Brute Force is the third studio album by French musical project the Algorithm. The album was released on 1 April 2016 through FiXT. It is the project's first studio release with the label.
Promotion and release
Promotional video single "Floating Point" was announced through Metal Hammer on 30 January 2016 with a remix released on the project's official blog the following month. On 9 March 2016, Metal Underground premiered the music video for "Pointers" along with the track listing for the album. Commenting on the release, Gallego stated the track was "one of my favorite [songs] so far". The same day, the album was made available for pre-order on the project's website with various bundle options. Some bundles included a MIDI version of the album on a floppy disk. On 30 March 2016, two days before official release, the full album was streamed with Metal Hammer accompanied by Gallego's track-by-track analysis of the album.
Critical reception
Upon release, the album gained generally positive reviews from metal publications. Paulo Bodriguez of The Monolith gave the album a positive review, stating "The Algorithm...have clearly found their own unique style and sound", while referring to the floppy disk pre-orders as a "cheeky sense of self-awareness". Nicholas Senior of New Noise, when observing the progression of The Algorithm's sound, stated "we hear the band hitting a sweet spot down the middle, with an album that is equally comfortable executing really interesting electronic passages and hard synths as it is hitting the blast beats and post-Meshuggah riffs hard."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applicative%20functor | In functional programming, an applicative functor, or an applicative for short, is an intermediate structure between functors and monads. Applicative functors allow for functorial computations to be sequenced (unlike plain functors), but don't allow using results from prior computations in the definition of subsequent ones (unlike monads). Applicative functors are the programming equivalent of lax monoidal functors with tensorial strength in category theory.
Applicative functors were introduced in 2008 by Conor McBride and Ross Paterson in their paper Applicative programming with effects.
Applicative functors first appeared as a library feature in Haskell, but have since spread to other languages as well, including Idris, Agda, OCaml, Scala and F#. Glasgow Haskell, Idris, and F# offer language features designed to ease programming with applicative functors.
In Haskell, applicative functors are implemented in the Applicative type class.
Definition
In Haskell, an applicative is a parameterized type that we think of as being a container for data of the parameter type plus two methods pure and . The pure method for an applicative of parameterized type f has type
pure :: a -> f a
and can be thought of as bringing values into the applicative. The method for an applicative of type f has type
(<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
and can be thought of as the equivalent of function application inside the applicative.
Alternatively, instead of providing , one may provide a function called liftA2. These two functions may be defined in terms of each other; therefore only one is needed for a minimally complete definition.
Applicatives are also required to satisfy four equational laws:
Identity:
Composition:
Homomorphism:
Interchange:
Every applicative is a functor. To be explicit, given the methods pure and , fmap can be implemented as
fmap g x = pure g <*> x
The commonly-used notation is equivalent to .
Examples
In Haskell, the Maybe type can be made an instance of the type class Applicative using the following definition:
instance Applicative Maybe where
-- pure :: a -> Maybe a
pure a = Just a
-- (<*>) :: Maybe (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> Maybe b
Nothing <*> _ = Nothing
_ <*> Nothing = Nothing
(Just g) <*> (Just x) = Just (g x)
As stated in the Definition section, pure turns an a into a , and applies a Maybe function to a Maybe value. Using the Maybe applicative for type a allows one to operate on values of type a with the error being handled automatically by the applicative machinery. For example, to add and , one needs only write
(+) <$> m <*> n
For the non-error case, adding and gives .
If either of or is , then the result will be also. This example also demonstrates how applicatives allow a sort of generalized function application.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative%20adversarial%20network | A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a class of machine learning framework and a prominent framework for approaching generative AI. The concept was initially developed by Ian Goodfellow and his colleagues in June 2014. In a GAN, two neural networks contest with each other in the form of a zero-sum game, where one agent's gain is another agent's loss.
Given a training set, this technique learns to generate new data with the same statistics as the training set. For example, a GAN trained on photographs can generate new photographs that look at least superficially authentic to human observers, having many realistic characteristics. Though originally proposed as a form of generative model for unsupervised learning, GANs have also proved useful for semi-supervised learning, fully supervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
The core idea of a GAN is based on the "indirect" training through the discriminator, another neural network that can tell how "realistic" the input seems, which itself is also being updated dynamically. This means that the generator is not trained to minimize the distance to a specific image, but rather to fool the discriminator. This enables the model to learn in an unsupervised manner.
GANs are similar to mimicry in evolutionary biology, with an evolutionary arms race between both networks.
Definition
Mathematical
The original GAN is defined as the following game:Each probability space defines a GAN game.
There are 2 players: generator and discriminator.
The generator's strategy set is , the set of all probability measures on .
The discriminator's strategy set is the set of Markov kernels , where is the set of probability measures on .
The GAN game is a zero-sum game, with objective function
The generator aims to minimize the objective, and the discriminator aims to maximize the objective.The generator's task is to approach , that is, to match its own output distribution as closely as possible to the reference distribution. The discriminator's task is to output a value close to 1 when the input appears to be from the reference distribution, and to output a value close to 0 when the input looks like it came from the generator distribution.
In practice
The generative network generates candidates while the discriminative network evaluates them. The contest operates in terms of data distributions. Typically, the generative network learns to map from a latent space to a data distribution of interest, while the discriminative network distinguishes candidates produced by the generator from the true data distribution. The generative network's training objective is to increase the error rate of the discriminative network (i.e., "fool" the discriminator network by producing novel candidates that the discriminator thinks are not synthesized (are part of the true data distribution)).
A known dataset serves as the initial training data for the discriminator. Training involves presenting it with samples from the trai |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%20Herders | Cat Herders is a commercial made by Fallon for Electronic Data Systems (EDS). Alluding to the management-speak idiom "It's like herding cats" that refers to the impossibility of controlling the uncontrollable, it posits an analogy between herding cats and the solution of seemingly impossible problems by EDS.
Using a "giant Western metaphor", it features "grizzled cowboys" herding thousands of cats across the Montana prairie, terminating in the satisfactory resolution "EDSolved". The commercial was shown on 30 January 2000 at the Super Bowl XXXIV and was cited by then-President Bill Clinton as his favorite commercial.
Title and Cat Herders campaign
EDS retained Fallon in 1999 to create a campaign with strong brand awareness with a dual purpose: to change the company's image for present and future growth and also to improve the morale and self-image of its employees. Fulfilling this remit, the advertisement "gave EDS employees an image that was serious, despite the humor of the commercial, and it highlighted EDS’s problem-solving capabilities for its customers."
The title "Cat Herders" applied to both the initial advertisement and the campaign, which was presented as a trilogy.
The two sequels, "Airplane" and "Running with Squirrels", had visual impact but did not replicate the success of "Cat Herders".
Cast
Authentic cowboys were required, and a casting call was put out across Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and California. Some of the cast had never acted previously but others were SAG-accredited.
Actor Tony Becker points out that many of the actors were "real-life cowboys", and gives a comprehensive cast list:

Susan Smith
Gene McLaughlin
Clif Stokes
David Jean Thomas
R. J. Chambers - Stunts
Brian Burrows -Stunts
Notwithstanding the listing of only two participants as stunt performers, many of the actors are skilled cowboy professionals, with credits as horse trainers, wranglers, doubles, trick-roper and also as stunt performers. A few operate ranches or rodeo or stunt performing services, as per the citations given above.
For the shoot, some actors wore their own clothes, but their faces were made up to look cat-scratched, tanned or weatherbeaten.
Cats
Numbers of cats used to create the illusion of thousands running wild vary from 50 to 60. According to Becker, "only about 60 cats were used in the actual filming (with about 1 trainer per 5 cats). The rest were computer-generated".
Filming
Location and conditions
Cat Herders was filmed during December 1999 at Tejon Ranch, about 70 miles north of Los Angeles. Established in 1843, it is, at nearly 270,000 acres, the largest continuous expanse of private land in California.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor%20Media%20Access%20Control | Sensor Media Access Control(S-MAC) is a network protocol for sensor networks. Sensor networks consist of tiny, wirelessly communicating computers (sensor nodes), which are deployed in large numbers in an area to network independently and as long as monitor their surroundings in group work with sensors, to their energy reserves are depleted. A special form of ad hoc network, they make entirely different demands on a network protocol (for example, the Internet) and therefore require network protocols specially build for them (SMAC). Sensor Media Access Control specifies in detail how the nodes of a sensor network exchange data, controls the Media Access Control (MAC) to access the shared communication medium of the network, regulates the structure of the network topology, and provides a method for synchronizing.
Although today primarily of academic interest, S-MAC was a significant step in sensor network research and inspired many subsequent network protocols. It was introduced in 2001 by Wei Ye, John Heidemann and Deborah Estrin of the University of Southern California and was intended to conserve scarce, non-rechargeable energy resources of sensor nodes. The development was supported financially by the US military agency DARPA under the project Sensor Information Technology (Sensit).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20Guardian | Digital Guardian is an American data loss prevention software company that produces products designed to detect and stop malicious actions by users and malware on endpoints. Digital Guardian provides software both at the end-user level and in corporate networks, servers, databases, and the cloud. The software places data events into context and applies a granular set of rules to protect against threats.
The company holds 20 patents for its technology. Its customers include about 300 Global 2000 companies, as well as seven of the 10 largest brands in the world. It is considered to be a leader in the global data loss prevention market.
History
The company was founded in 2003 under the name Verdasys. Verdasys' flagship product was Digital Guardian, a data-centric security platform monitoring and encrypting all proprietary or sensitive information passing through a desktop, laptop, or enterprise server.
In 2008, Verdasys launched SiteTrust, an encryption software service for banks, brokerages, and other big companies that served customers over the Internet and were legally liable for losses from online fraud. Its client-side software package turned on whenever the user visited a website protected by the SiteTrust service and spawned a new instance of the user's web browser, shutting out malware and creating a secure space around all communications with the protected site.
An agreement between Verdasys and Fidelis Security Systems (now Fidelis Cybersecurity) in 2010 enabled customers to acquire and implement an integrated solution consisting of Fidelis XPS network appliances and Digital Guardian enterprise information protection in a single offering from Verdasys.
In early 2012, Verdasys expanded its data leak prevention portfolio to the cloud to help enterprises protect their data stored on their networks and reduce costs. When one of its customers, a large insurance company, requested Verdasys to take over the job of monitoring and protecting the data, Verdasys introduced two new offerings: Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP) and Information Protection as a Service (IPaaS), offering data protection as a managed service. The Digital Guardian platform completed EAL2+ evaluation under the Communications Security Establishment's Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme in December 2012.
Verdasys introduced a data connector in 2013 that contained malware threats detected by FireEye's platform. Before Verdasys' connector, the malware had to be handled manually. In December, Gartner's Magic Quadrant placed Digital Guardian among the five leaders of the global data loss prevention market.
Ken Levine, previously a McAfee executive, joined the company as CEO in 2014 and focused on simplifying its product. In March, Verdasys raised $12 million in venture funding, bringing the company's total capital raised to $69 million. The funding round was led by existing investors GE Pension Trust and Fairhaven Capital, with a new, indivi |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert%20program | A concert program (in American English) or concert programme (in British English) is a selection and ordering, or programming, of pieces to be performed at an occasion, or concert. Programs may be influenced by the available ensemble of instruments, by performer ability or skill, by theme (historical, programmatic, or technical), by musical concerns (such as form), or by allowable time. For example, a brass ensemble will perform an "all brass" program, the pieces of which may be chosen by a theme, such as "all Bach", and the chosen pieces may be ordered so that they build in intensity as the concert progresses. Concert programs may be put together by ensembles, conductors, or ensemble directors, and are often explained in program notes.
Program notes or annotated concert programs are common where contemporary or classical music is being performed. These were introduced in Edinburgh and London in the 1840s, first for chamber music concerts, notably by John Ella and his Musical Union, under the name "Synoptical Analysis". They became common in symphony concerts in the 1850s. In 1862, the Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick considered this particularly necessary for the English middle class: "Feeling usually uncertain about things aesthetic, the English listener loves direct instruction." Program notes arrived later in continental Europe.
Program notes serve two purposes: to provide historical and background information on the piece and, if necessary, the composer, and to give the audience some sense of what to expect, and what possibly what to listen for, when listening to the work. With the presentation of contemporary pieces, it is common to include notes provided by the composer. Programs may include information about, and quotes or commentary from, the composer, conductor, or performers, as well as provide context regarding the musical era. Programs may also include information about the programmatic or absolute content of the music, including analysis, and may point out details such as themes, musical motifs, and sections or movements.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra%20Media%20Access%20Control | Zebra Media Access Control (Z-MAC) is a network protocol for wireless sensor networks. It controls how a Media Access Control (MAC) accesses a common communication medium of a network.
Network protocols define specific details, such as how computers in a computer network exchange data. Sensor networks consist of tiny, wirelessly communicating sensor nodes which are deployed in large numbers in an area to network independently. While the sensors monitor their surroundings, their energy reserves are depleted. They constitute a special form of mobile ad-hoc network and make entirely different demands on a network protocol than, for example, the Internet.
Z-MAC was first introduced by Injong Rhee, Ajit Warrier, Mahesh Aia and Jeongki Min from North Carolina State University in 2005. The protocol is relevant to the protocols S-MAC, T-MAC, DSMAC, WiseMAC, μ-MAC and M-MAC.
Protocol structure
Z-MAC combines the two approaches Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) so that the network behaves at low data load as in CSMA and high network traffic as in TDMA.
The protocol begins with a set-up phase, including the following four steps: construction of the network topology, distribution of time slots, exchanging of local time frame and network-wide synchronization. This initialization causes a high load on the network, which is made up for from the perspective of the developer with long service life and efficient data transfer.
Construction of the network topology
After activation, each sensor node transmits every second ping for 30 seconds. Pings are in the network technology brief messages that are sent back immediately from sender to receiver, usually to check connection and line quality. With Z-MAC, the ping contains information on the sending node itself and all the information that has been collected through the direct neighbors of the node. By pinging the environment experienced by a sensor node, the nodes it directly contacts (one-hop neighborhood) and what it can contact indirectly with an intermediate station (two-hop neighborhood) are known
Distribution of the time slots
The neighborhood lists are given in an algorithm for allocation of time slot according to TDMA. The developers used the distributed algorithm DRAND. This algorithm ensures that no two indirect neighbors receive the same time slot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkgate%20railway%20station%20%28Rotherham%29 | Parkgate (or Rotherham Parkgate) is a tram-train stop on the Sheffield Supertram network. It opened on 25 October 2018, following the opening of the extension from Meadowhall to Rotherham Parkgate, and serves the suburb of Parkgate, Rotherham in South Yorkshire.
It is situated next to the Rotherham Parkgate shopping park, which is located to the north-east of the town centre, near the border with the village of Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire.
History
Rotherham Parkgate is part of the Sheffield to Rotherham tram-train pilot scheme, which is a first of its kind in the United Kingdom. The scheme involved extending the Sheffield Supertram from Meadowhall to Rotherham Central, mostly via low-use freight lines, before continuing to the terminus at Parkgate. The scheme ended up going over budget, with a final cost of £75 million.
It was planned that Rotherham Parkgate would be the hub for longer distance inter-regional services, while Rotherham Central would be the hub for local services. Plans suggested that the construction of the station would cost around £14 million (£53 million including the railway service to Leeds), delivering economic benefits worth over £100 million.
A study later concluded that the expansion of Rotherham Central would not go ahead, as it would cost £161 million to expand the station, but only deliver benefits worth £76 million.
Facilities
There are 95 free parking spaces at the station, for use by tram-train passengers.
Services
As of February 2021, the station is served by two tram-trains per hour. The average journey time to Rotherham Central is 3 minutes, and Sheffield (Cathedral) is 27 minutes.
Rolling stock used: Class 399 Tram-Train

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shedun | Shedun is a family of malware software (also known as Kemoge, Shiftybug and Shuanet) targeting the Android operating system first identified in late 2015 by mobile security company Lookout, affecting roughly 20,000 popular Android applications. Lookout claimed the HummingBad malware was also a part of the Shedun family, however, these claims were refuted.
Avira Protection Labs stated that Shedun family malware is detected to cause approximately 1500-2000 infections per day.
All three variants of the virus are known to share roughly ~80% of the same source code.
In mid 2016, arstechnica reported that approximately 10.000.000 devices would be infected by this malware and that new infections would still be surging.
The malware's primary attack vector is repackaging legitimate Android applications (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Candy Crush, Google Now, Snapchat) with adware included. The app which remains functional is then released to a third party app store; once downloaded, the application generates revenue by serving ads (estimated to amount to $2 US per installation), most users cannot get rid of the virus without getting a new device, as the only other way to get rid of the malware is to root affected devices and re-flash a custom ROM.
In addition, Shedun-type malware has been detected pre-installed on 26 different types of Chinese Android-based hardware such as Smartphones and Tablet computers.
Shedun-family malware is known for auto-rooting the Android OS using well-known exploits like ExynosAbuse, Memexploit and Framaroot (causing a potential privilege escalation) and for serving trojanized adware and installing themselves within the system partition of the operating system, so that not even a factory reset can remove the malware from infected devices.
Shedun malware is known for targeting the Android Accessibility Service, as well as for downloading and installing arbitrary applications (usually adware) without permission. It is classified as "aggressive adware" for installing potentially unwanted program applications and serving ads.
As of April 2016, Shedun malware is considered by most security researchers to be next to impossible to entirely remove.
Avira Security researcher Pavel Ponomariov, who specializes in Android malware detection tools, mobile threat detection, and mobile malware detection automation research, has published an in-depth analysis of this malware.
The countries most infected by this virus were in Asia including China, India, Philippines, Indonesia and Turkey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiomics | In the field of medicine, radiomics is a method that extracts a large number of features from medical images using data-characterisation algorithms. These features, termed radiomic features, have the potential to uncover tumoral patterns and characteristics that fail to be appreciated by the naked eye. The hypothesis of radiomics is that the distinctive imaging features between disease forms may be useful for predicting prognosis and therapeutic response for various cancer types, thus providing valuable information for personalized therapy. Radiomics emerged from the medical fields of radiology and oncology and is the most advanced in applications within these fields. However, the technique can be applied to any medical study where a pathological process can be imaged.
Process
Image acquisition
The image data is provided by radiological modalities as CT, MRI, PET/CT or even PET/MR. The produced raw data volumes are used to find different pixel/voxel characteristics through extraction tools.
The extracted features are saved in large databases where clinics have access so as to enable broadly collaborative and cumulative work in which all can benefit from growing amounts of data, ideally enabling a more precise workflow.
Image segmentation
After the images have been saved in the database, they have to be reduced to the essential parts, in this case the tumors, which are called “volumes of interest”.
Because of the large image data that needs to be processed, it would be too much work to perform the segmentation manually for every single image if a radiomics database with lots of data is created. Instead of manual segmentation, an automated process has to be used. A possible solution are automatic and semiautomatic segmentation algorithms. Before it can be applied on a big scale an algorithm must score as high as possible in the following four tasks:
First, it must be reproducible, which means that when it is used on the same data the outcome will not change.
Another important factor is the consistency. The algorithm does solve the problem at hand and performs the task rather than doing something that is not important. In this case, it is necessary that the algorithm can detect the diseased part in all different scans.
The algorithm also needs to be accurate. It is very important that the algorithm detects the diseased part in the most precise way possible. Only with accurate data, accurate results can be achieved.
A minor but still important point is the time efficiency. The results should be generated as fast as possible so that the whole process of radiomics can also be accelerated. A minor point means in this case that, if it is in a certain frame, it is not as important as the others.
Feature extraction and qualification
After the segmentation, many features can be extracted and the relative net change from longitudinal images (delta-radiomics) can be computed. Radiomic features can be divided into five groups: size and shape base |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon%20Miss%20Westcott | "Pardon Miss Westcott" is a 1959 Australian TV play by the Seven Network as part of drama anthology series Shell Presents. It was a musical set in colonial Australia and was broadcast live. It was Australia's first television musical comedy. "Pardon Miss Westcott" aired on 12 December 1959 in Sydney and on 19 December 1959 in Melbourne.
It ran for 75 minutes and featured eight new songs and a cast of nineteen.
Plot
It is 1809 and Britain sends its convicts to the penal colony of New South Wales. On a convict ship travelling to Sydney, the convicts, notably three men, Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark, sing "He-ho, you'll never go back".
Elizabeth Westcott is being transported after being given a five year sentence for killing a pig and serving it to a pompous magistrate at her father's inn. On the boat over she meets Richard Soames, an army officer being transferred to the NSW Corps. Elizabeth befriends Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark after she refuses to report them for theft; they sing "Send for Me" together.
The ship arrives in Sydney. Richard meets the new, temporary Governor, Colonel Paterson, who has taken over from Governor Bligh (the Rum Rebellion has just taken place). Paterson complains about the lack of decent servants and Richard recommends Elizabeth but Paterson is reluctant to employ a former convict.
Elizabeth arrives to track down Richard and impresses Paterson, who offers her the job of managing Government House. She persuades Richard to let Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark join her as servants. Richard sings "You Walk By" to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth runs the house with great success but this causes the Governor's wife, Lydia, to become jealous and demand the convict leave. Paterson decides to grant Elizabeth a ticket of leave and loans her five pounds to set up an inn. Elizabeth sings "I'm on My Way".
Elizabeth runs the inn, called the Silver Bottle, along with a servant girl, Mog. It is popular but they have trouble with the local soldiers. She decides to gate crash a party held by Paterson and his wife, in order to talk to the Governor. At the party, Lydia sings a song to her guests, "Our Own Bare Hands".
Elizabeth arrives to make an appeal to Paterson, but upsets Lydia. Richard arrives at the party and dances with Elizabeth; he sings her a song, "Sometimes".
At the Silver Bottle, the customers, including Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark, sing and dance a number, "The Grog Song". The convicts mock Lydia, when Paterson arrives and overhears. He is upset and sends the convicts home. Paterson also tells Elizabeth she and Richard must not see each other, as she would be bad for his career. She briefly reprises "Send for Me".
Paterson tells Richard to not see Elizabeth and he reluctantly agrees. Mansfield, Harbutt, and Snark escape, taking Paterson's rabbits. Sent to find the convicts, Paterson sneaks out to see Elizabeth and they sing a song, "So Much More". Paterson catches the two of them together and demands Richard's resignation; he |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research%20Data%20Alliance | The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is a research community organization started in 2013 by the European Commission, the American National Science Foundation and National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Australian Department of Innovation. Its mission is to build the social and technical bridges to enable open sharing of data. The RDA vision is researchers and innovators openly sharing data across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the grand challenges of society. The RDA is a major recipient of support in the form of grants from its constituent members' governments.
As of May 2021, the RDA has over 11,000 individual members from 145 countries.
Structure
The RDA's main vehicle for outputs are 18-month long working groups that generate recommendations aimed at the RDA community. In addition to working groups, interest groups with no fixed lifetime can produce either informal or "supported" outputs which carry some degree of RDA endorsement.
Meetings
The RDA organises two major plenary conferences a year that are often co-located within other international data sharing initiatives such as the 12th RDA plenary being part of "International Data Week, 2018" in Gaborone, co-organised by RDA, the ICSU World Data System (WDS), the ICSU Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA), University of Botswana (UoB) and the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf). RDA aims to spread the plenary meetings across many of its members' locales with recent plenaries being held in Helsinki, Philadelphia, Berlin, Gaborone, Montréal, Barcelona, Denver, Tokyo, Paris, San Diego, Amsterdam, Dublin, Washington DC and Gothenburg, Sweden. Edinburgh, Costa Rica and Melbourne have hosted virtual plenaries.
Partnerships
The RDA provides national data sharing organisations, such as the Australian National Data Service (ANDS), an "influence over the kinds of data sharing environments that Australian researchers will work with when they collaborate with international colleagues". The RDA is partnered with many major international data initiatives such as DataCite and frequently forms joint working groups with them, such as with the World Data System.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mivasocial | Mivasocial is a website and online social networking platform for African communities around the world. The term Miva comes from the Ewe/Mina/Guin language of Togo and means "Come". Mivasocial therefore means "Come socialize".
Opened in 2013, Mivasocial is owned by Happy Way LLC of Lawrenceville Georgia, USA. According to its founders, Mivasocial has over 15,000,000 members as of 2021. In 2019 The platform has developed a new e-commerce tool called Mivashop to help african businesses create their online shops. Mivashop is currently limited to the Togolese market.
Founding and history
Mivasocial was initially launched in 2011 by Jean-Marc Kouevidjin as Star53, a social network to help with the development of African people. According to Kouevidjin, Star53 meant that there were 53 African countries of stars that needed to be discovered.
After growing to more than 100,000 members in 2012, Star53 encountered some technology limitations and issues and needed to be redesigned. In 2013, the new platform, initially called Togosocial, was launched in beta. Kouevidjin wrote the initial PHP code. The target was members of the Togolese community.
In July 2015, the platform expanded to all of Africa under the name Mivasocial. There was one social network for Africa and individual social networks for each African country.
Mivasocial claims 250,000 accounts registered in three years. Its promoters hope to mobilize investments in the order of $1 million to $10 million to accelerate the growth of Mivasocial.
According to Kouevidjin's introductory poem that reveals his thinking at the time of the inception of the Mivasocial idea, It is all about the rise of the African child. Mivasocial aims to be the face of Africa in the world by promoting African values and human potential.
Target audience and demography
Mivasocial targets the entire world and anyone can be a member. Its membership is free. Any individual or business targeting the African continent can use the platform as a gateway to every country on the continent. According to the latest membership data released in January 2016, the audience is predominantly African people in the diaspora and the continental Africa according to the latest membership data released in Jan 2016.
After registering to use the site, users will need to identify their target African country network and their primary language of choice. Two languages are currently offered such as French and English. Users can then create a user profile, add other users as "friends", follow members feeds, exchange private messages, post status updates and photos, share videos, write blogs, use various apps and receive notifications on platform activities and also when others update their profiles. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups called PACs, organized by categories such as workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and connect with people throughout Africa or by individual African countries or the dias |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren%20Smith%20%28broadcaster%29 | Warren Smith is a Rugby League commentator for Fox Sports Australia.
Smith has been with the pay TV network since 1995 and has gained a reputation for his distinctive style and versatility. Smith has made the term "they're gonna say" his own (they're gonna say it's a knock on, they're gonna say the pass was forward). He's also known for being inexplicably incredulous for no apparent reason "and wow they're gonna say it was forward" in a stunned voice (despite the pass clearly being forward).
Smith is essentially the face of Fox Sports coverage of the National Rugby League competition and calls between 2-3 matches per round.
He has also called the 2010/11 KFC Twenty20 big bash league.
Smith made an appearance for ESPN as an on-site analyst for the 2016 College Football Sydney Cup for a crew back in Bristol.
In 2016, Smith shared how he prepares to commentate on rugby league games. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph Smith said "You don't rest your voice as such, there are situations I will avoid though like the times I find myself in a pub during the footy season, it is loud and you have to raise your voice to be heard. It is a strain on your voice you don't need. I put a steamer on my face most days at this time of year to suck in steam, I live on lozenges and mints, I drink ridiculous amounts of water, I try to keep hydrated".
As of the start of the 2018 NRL season, Smith began co-hosting Fox League's weekly rugby league podcast, “You can take me now I have seen it all” (named after Smith's famous call of a last second comeback by the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2012) along with fellow Fox League caller Matt Russell. The podcast reviewed the past weeks matches, discussed big talking points in the game and previewed upcoming games. From the end of the season and from 2019, Lara Pitt will also be a part of the weekly fixture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiVincenzo%27s%20criteria | The DiVincenzo criteria are conditions necessary for constructing a quantum computer, conditions proposed in 2000 by the theoretical physicist David P. DiVincenzo, as being those necessary to construct such a computer—a computer first proposed by mathematician Yuri Manin, in 1980, and physicist Richard Feynman, in 1982—as a means to efficiently simulate quantum systems, such as in solving the quantum many-body problem.
There have been many proposals for how to construct a quantum computer, all of which meet with varying degrees of success against the different challenges of constructing quantum devices. Some of these proposals involve using superconducting qubits, trapped ions, liquid and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, or optical cluster states, all of which show good prospects but also have issues that prevent their practical implementation.
The DiVincenzo criteria consist of seven conditions an experimental setup must satisfy to successfully implement quantum algorithms such as Grover's search algorithm or Shor factorization. The first five conditions regard quantum computation itself. Two additional conditions regard implementing quantum communication, such as that used in quantum key distribution. One can demonstrate that DiVincenzo's criteria are satisfied by a classical computer. Comparing the ability of classical and quantum regimes to satisfy the criteria highlights both the complications that arise in dealing with quantum systems and the source of the quantum speed up.
Statement of the criteria
According to DiVincenzo's criteria, constructing a quantum computer requires that the experimental setup meet seven conditions. The first five are necessary for quantum computation:
A scalable physical system with well-characterized qubit
The ability to initialize the state of the qubits to a simple fiducial state
Long relevant decoherence times
A "universal" set of quantum gates
A qubit-specific measurement capability
The remaining two are necessary for quantum communication:
The ability to interconvert stationary and flying qubits
The ability to faithfully transmit flying qubits between specified locations
Justification
DiVincenzo proposed his criteria after many attempts to construct a quantum computer. Below describes why these statements are important, and presents examples.
Scalability with well-characterised qubits
Most models of quantum computation require the use of qubits. Quantum mechanically, a qubit is defined as a 2-level system with some energy gap. This can sometimes be difficult to implement physically, and so we focus on a particular transition of atomic levels. Whatever the system we choose, we require that the system remain almost always in the subspace of these two levels, and in doing so we can say it is a well-characterised qubit. An example of a system that is not well characterised would be 2 one-electron quantum dots, with potential wells each occupied by a single electron in one well or the other, |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony%20Oettinger | Anthony "Tony" Gervin Oettinger (March 29, 1929 in Nuremberg, Germany – July 26, 2022) was a German-born American linguist and computer scientist best known for his work on information resources policy. Oettinger coined the term “compunications” in the late 1970s to describe the combination of computer and telecommunications technologies that would take place as digital technologies replaced analog forms. In 1973 he co-founded, with John LeGates, the Program on Information Resources Policy at Harvard University. He served as a consultant to the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and the National Security Council and NASA’s Apollo moon-landing program. From 1966 to 1968 he was president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). He was recognized for his work in the intelligence community with the naming of the Anthony G. Oettinger School of Science and Technology Intelligence of the National Intelligence University. He was Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Mathematics and Professor of Information Resources Policy at Harvard.
Early life
Oettinger was born in 1929 in Nuremberg, Germany to a French mother and German father. Nuremberg was where Hitler first established his political base and was the home of the Nazi party. Oettinger has said that “this probably saved my life, because my parents had the wit to notice what was going on.” In 1933, when he was four years old, his parents left to live with his grandparents in France. Getting caught up in the German march into France, his family arrived in New York in 1941 via Spain and Portugal. At the age of 12, English thus became his third language.
Oettinger graduated first in his class from the Bronx High School of Science and entered Harvard, because MIT, which was his first choice, did not offer him a scholarship and Harvard did. He received his A.B. summa cum laude in 1951, having studied Spanish and French literature, Russian, economics and mathematics. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa as well as the chapter's First Marshall his junior year. Also as a junior he started working with Howard Aiken in the Computation Laboratory and acquired an interest in machine translation. After graduation, he spent a year at Cambridge University on a prestigious Henry Fellowship. By 1954 he had completed his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Harvard, with a dissertation on "A study for the design of an automatic dictionary". He joined the Harvard faculty two years later first as an instructor (1955–1957), then an assistant professor (1957–1960), associate professor (1960–1963), and then as a full professor in linguistics (1964–1975) and in applied mathematics (1964– ). When he became a tenured professor in 1960 at the age of 31 he was the youngest to have achieved that status at Harvard in the modern era.
Professional work
Oettinger's early work was primarily on machine translation. He capsulized the challenges of machine translation with an example of syntactic ambiguity "Time flies like |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegation%20%28computing%29 | In computing or computer programming, delegation refers generally to one entity passing something to another entity, and narrowly to various specific forms of relationships. These include:
Delegation (object-oriented programming), evaluating a member of one object (the receiver) in the context of another, original object (the sender).
Delegation pattern, a design pattern implementing this feature.
Forwarding (object-oriented programming), an often-confused technique where a sending object uses the corresponding member of another object, without the receiving object having any knowledge of the original, sending object.
Object aggregation or consultation, general term for one object using another.
Delegation (computer security), one user or process allowing another user or process to use their credentials or permissions.
Delegate (CLI), a form of type-safe function pointer used by the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), specifying both a method to call and optionally an object to call the method on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-action%20animated%20film | A live-action animated feature film is a film that combines live-action filmmaking with animation.
Films that are both live-action and computer-animated feature films tend to have fictional characters or figures represented and characterized by cast members through motion capture and then animated and modeled by animators. Films that are live-action and traditionally animated use hand-drawn, computer-generated imagery (CGI) or stop-motion animation.
History
Origins of combining live-action and animation
During the silent film era in 1920s and 1930s, the popular animated cartoons of Max Fleischer included a series in which his cartoon character, Koko the Clown, interacted with the live world; for example, having a boxing match with a live kitten. In a variation from this and inspired by Fleischer, Walt Disney's first directorial efforts, years before Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was born in 1927 and Mickey Mouse in 1928, were the live-action animated Alice Comedies cartoons, in which a young live-action girl named Alice interacted with animated cartoon characters.
Many previous films have combined live-action with stop-motion animation using back projection, such as Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen films in the United States, and Aleksandr Ptushko, Karel Zeman and, more recently, Jan Švankmajer in Eastern Europe. The first feature film combining these forms was The Lost World (1925). In the Soviet film The New Gulliver (1935), the only character who was not animated was Gulliver himself.
The 1940 Warner Bros. cartoon You Ought to Be in Pictures, directed by Friz Freleng, featured Warner Bros. characters interacting with live-action people. The animated sequence in the 1945 film Anchors Aweigh, in which Gene Kelly dances with an animated Jerry Mouse, is one of the actor/dancer's most famous scenes.
Development of live-action/animated feature films by Disney
Throughout the decades, Disney experimented with mixed segments of live-action and animation in several notable films, which are primarily considered live-action. In the Latin American film pair Saludos Amigos (1943) and The Three Caballeros (1945), Donald Duck cavorts with several Latin-American dancers, plus Aurora Miranda (sister of Carmen Miranda), who gives him a kiss. In Song of the South (1946) Uncle Remus sings "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in an animated field, and tells the stories of Brer Rabbit through animated sequences. So Dear to My Heart (1949) improved upon this.
The 1964 film Mary Poppins gained significant notoriety for its blend of live action and animation, with an extensive sequence located "inside" a street painting, including Dick Van Dyke dancing with penguin waiters. In 1971 Bedknobs and Broomsticks transported Angela Lansbury and David Tomlinson to an underwater nightclub for dancing, followed by Tomlinson competing with anthropomorphic animals in an aggressive soccer match.
Inspired by the Swedish film Dunderklumpen! (1974), Walt Disney produced Pete's Dragon in 1977 t |

He was the founder and editor for 19 volumes of the Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society. He has had two careers; first as a technical software developer and then in academia as reformer (according to Huff and Barnard). He was the founding Director of CCSR, launching it in 1995 at the first ETHICOMP conference which he conceived and co-directed until 2013. He became Europe's first Professor in Computer Ethics in 1998. His most important research focuses on providing rigorously grounded practical tools and guidance to computing practitioners. For his leadership and research achievements in the computer and information ethics interdisciplinary field he was awarded the fifth IFIP-WG9.2 Namur Award in 2000 and the SIGCAS Making a Difference Award in 2005.
Industrial career
As a teenager Rogerson wanted to work in the computer industry. On graduating from the University of Dundee he joined Thorn Lighting as a Fortran Programmer in 1972. He progressed to Senior Systems Analyst before transferring to Thorn EMI in 1976 as Technical Systems Manager and where he became Computer Services Manager in 1981. He left his full-time post in 1983 to pursue a career in academia. However, he maintained his link with industry through freelance consultancy and membership of several professional bodies.
Academic career
Rogerson joined the Department of Information Systems at Leicester Polytechnic (later to become De Montfort University) in 1983. He was appointed under a government initiative to attract IT industrialists in to Higher Education. Initially, he focused on lecturing about Project Management, Systems Analysis and Management Support Systems. It was the latter which led him into research starting by co-authoring works with Dr Christine Fidler culminating in the book Strategic Management Support Systems in 1996.
Teaching
Rogerson is an innovative educator. He created and was the founding course leader of a European-focused Business Information Systems Degree in 1990. He developed student guides for undergraduates, publishing Project Skills Handbook and co-authoring Successful Group Work. He introduced a series of course modules focussing on computer and information ethics. Rogerson and Tugrul Esendal developed and delivered an innovative course module addressing quality assurance and ethics in Software Engineering for which they received a Research Informed Teaching Award in 2007. He introduced the Information Society Doctoral Programme which continues to attract research students worldwide. In 2008, funded by HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council of England) Rogerson developed a virtual learning environment for doctoral students at De Montfort University where they could learn about and discuss research ethics.
