https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFabric | QFabric is a proprietary technology proposed by Juniper Networks. In contrary to open standards such as OpenFlow, QFabric is regarded as a vendor proprietary approach.
Its goal is to simplify the traditional tree architecture of L2/L3 switches to a single tier any-to-any connectivity.
Competing Technologies
Competing technologies to QFabric include IEEE 802.1aq, MC-LAG, VXLAN, FabricPath, Virtual Cluster Switching (VCS), and the IETF TRILL standard.
System Components
QFabric System Components consists of:
QFabric Nodes - fixed-configuration edge platforms that connect to networked data center devices
QFabric Interconnect - a high-speed transport device that connects all QFabric Nodes in a full-mesh topology
QFabric Director - which provides control and management services for the full QFabric System
Performance Improvement
For data center architecture, QFabric creates a single logical switch that connects the entire data center rather than tiers of multiple access aggregation and core switches. The reason why this can improve performance is that, instead of going through multiple tiers of switches in a traditional network, packets only get through the infrastructure in a single hop, so this can reduce the delay significantly.
For example, a typical switch can handle 200 ports, while QFabric can scale up to 6000 ports with lossless 10Gbps speed.
In a QFX3000-M QFabric System, which supports up to 768 10GbE ports, the average end-to-end latency can be as short as 3 microseconds. In QFX3000-G QFabric System, although it supports up to 6,144 10GbE ports, by connecting all nodes in a full-mesh topology, it can achieve an average port-to-port latency of 5 microseconds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenxiang | Fenxiang (分香), literally the incense division, is a term that defines both hierarchical networks of temples dedicated to a particular Deity or Deities in Chinese folk religion, and the ritual process by which these networks form.
Networks
Networks of affiliated temples dedicated to the cult of a specific God or Deity can proliferate extensively. These networks are economic and social bodies, and in certain moments of history have even taken military functions. They also represent routes of pilgrimage, with communities of devotees from the affiliated temples going up in the hierarchy to the senior temple. One notable example will Baishatun Mazu Pilgrimage in Taiwan.
Ritual of creation of a new temple
When a new temple dedicated to the same Deity is founded, it enters the sacred network through the ritual of division of incense. This consists in filling the incense burner of the new temple with ashes brought from the incense burner of an existing temple. The new temple is therefore spiritually affiliated to the older existing temple, and back in the hierarchy to the very first temple dedicated to the Deity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner%20Workings | Inner Workings is a 3D hand-drawn and computer-animated adventure short film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is written and directed by Leo Matsuda and produced by Sean Lurie. It premiered in theaters on November 23, 2016 along with Walt Disney Pictures' Moana.
Plot
The short follows the inner workings of Paul, a man living in California during the 1980s. Paul's Brain, Heart, Lungs, Stomach and even his Bladder and Kidneys all awaken on a typical day for work. Heart expresses desires to try a large breakfast special at the urging of Stomach, play around on the beach, and try out a new pair of sunglasses at a stand that is run by an attractive sunglass vendor named Kate. However, Brain simply wants Paul to get to work on time at Boring, Boring & Glum and avoid possible hazards that Brain thinks will kill Paul along the way. Fed up with Heart's constant sidetracked nature, Brain takes away Heart's control so that Paul can get to work on time. He and dozens of other employees sit at desks and enter data into their computers, moving simultaneously. Brain takes notice of the dreary routine of Paul's life and comes to realize that this cycle will eventually lead to his death as a depressed, miserable, and lonely man.
During lunchtime, Brain gives control of Paul back to Heart, who sends him off to partake of the activities that Brain had passed up on the way to the office. Paul returns to work afterward, happy and content, and begins to dance to a lively beat whose energy quickly spreads to his coworkers and even to his elderly bosses. During the credits, Paul starts performing other fun activities with his bosses and coworkers, marries Kate, and has children with her.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%20Pines | Paul Pines was a poet, writer and psychotherapist. Also known for founding and programming Jazz at the Lake: the Lake George Jazz Weekend, Pines started the acclaimed The Tin Palace jazz nightclub on New York's Bowery in the East Village.
Early life
Paul Pines was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Dr. Bernard Pines, immigrated from Stanislau, Poland at the age of 12. His mother, Charlotte Rachlin, of Russian Jewish descent, worked her way through law school playing gigs with her all-woman trio. Pines grew up near Ebbet's Field and passed the early 1960s on the Lower East Side of New York.
Career
After graduating from Bard College, he shipped out as a Merchant Seaman, spending August 1965 to February 1966 in Vietnam. An aspiring writer and poet as well as a jazz fan, Pines traveled to San Francisco to meet the Beats, then returned to New York to take up residence in the East Village.
In 1973 he opened the Tin Palace, a jazz club on the corner of 2nd Street and Bowery, which provided the setting for his novel, The Tin Angel (W. Morrow, 1983) and many of his subsequent poetry collections which capture the diverse culture and music scene of the Lower East Side of that time.
Pines' travels in Mexico and Central America in the 1980s shaped his second novel, Redemption (Editions du Rocher, 1997), set against the Guatemalan Mayan genocide. His memoir, My Brother's Madness (Curbstone Press, 2007), explores the unfolding of his relationship with his late brother, Claude, and the nature of delusion.
Paul Pines received an MSW from University at Albany, SUNY and taught literature and creative writing at SUNY Adirondack until 2007. Since that time he remains a Jungian oriented psychotherapist.
He founded, programs and hosts Jazz at the Lake: Lake George Jazz Weekend, considered "One of the best-kept secrets on the Eastern jazz festival circuit, the Lake George Jazz Festival is a gem worth discovering."
Poetry
Pines has published thirteen poetry collections including Onion (Mulch, 1971), Hotel Madden Poems (Contact II, 1991), Pines Songs (IKON chapbook), Last Call at the Tin Palace (Marsh Hawk, 2009), Fishing on the Pole Star (Dos Madres Press, 2014), Divine Madness, (The Notre Dame Review]) (Marsh Hawk Press 21012) and Charlotte Songs, (Marsh Hawk, 2015).
Jazz
In 1973, on the Bowery in New York's East Village, "poet Paul Pines opened another crucial jazz club at 310, a haven for loft musicians called the Tin Palace night club," in a former speakeasy at 325 Bowery. Just up the block from Hilly Kristal's C.B.G.B., "jazz made a heady brew," giving much needed exposure to avant-garde jazz artists and poets. Pines booked the acts, presenting jazz from the classics and standards to cutting edge avant-garde, spoken word and Afro-Brazilian artists. Sunday afternoons became known as "prime time for jazz listening." The Tin Palace offered a step up from the small jazz loft scene. "Under the cloak of loft jazz some excellent young musicians |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigu%20Guan | Meigu Guan (, also Romanized as Mei-Ko Kwan or Mei-ku Kuan, born 1934 in Shanghai) is a Chinese mathematician and one of the country's leading experts on mathematical programming. He is known for his research on the route inspection problem, and served as president of Shandong Normal University.
Research contributions
Guan is known for formulating the route inspection problem. This problem is a generalization of the Euler tour problem, in which the input is an edge-weighted graph and the goal is to find a closed walk of minimum total weight that visits every graph edge at least once. Its applications include transportation planning problems such as planning routes for a fleet of snowplows to plow all the streets of a city, in minimum total time.
Guan worked as a lecturer at Shandong Normal University during the Great Leap Forward of 1958–1960, during which Chinese mathematicians were encouraged to work on practical problems. He published his work on the route inspection problem in 1960, and his paper was translated into English in 1962. It attracted the attention of Jack Edmonds, who gave the problem its alternative name, the "Chinese postman problem", in honor of Guan, and proved that this problem can be solved optimally in polynomial time.
One of Guan's later contributions was to prove that, in contrast, the windy postman problem is NP-complete; this is a generalized version of the route inspection problem in which the cost of traversing an edge depends on the direction in which it is traversed.
Academic career
Guan finished his studies in 1957 at the East China Normal University in Shanghai, and in the same year joined the faculty at Shandong Normal University.
He served as president of Shandong Normal University from 1984 to 1990. He then became director of the department of operations research at Fudan University from 1990 to 1995, after which he moved to the business school of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightsbridge%20Solutions%20LLC | Knightsbridge Solutions LLC was a Chicago-based professional services consultancy providing enterprise-level information management services, including business intelligence, data warehousing, data integration, and information quality. It was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2007.
According to Gartner Research, prior to HP’s purchase, Knightsbridge had "been a strong contender in the North American BI and data integration markets, differentiating itself from other ‘boutique’ vendors through its range of capabilities, and from larger consulting firms through its focus. This balance allows it to act as a local provider while having the breadth and depth of a large firm."
History
Knightsbridge Solutions was co-founded in 1994 by Ki Chan, Jay Desai, Terrence Ryan and Faisal Shah. Roderick S. Walker joined the board and became the company’s president and CEO in 1999. Headquartered in Chicago, it maintained offices in Houston, London, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. At its height, the company had more than 700 employees.
The company’s services include strategy and program management, information management, global delivery and managed services. It advised, developed and managed implementation in multiple industries, including communications, consumer products, energy, entertainment, federal government, financial services, health and life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, media, retail, and technology.
Its clients included AIG, Allstate, Bank of America, Capital One, Coca-Cola, Intuit, Kaiser Permanente, Liberty Mutual, McDonald’s, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, Blue Cross Blue Sheid of Michigan, Nordstrom, Novartis, Pfizer, Visa and Wachovia Bank. Following its acquisition by HP, Knightsbridge Solutions was merged with HP’s Technology Solutions Group, and later into the HP Business Intelligence Solutions Group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHD-FM | XHD-FM and XHZG-FM are radio stations on 96.5 FM and 94.9 FM in Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo, part of the Radio y Televisión de Hidalgo state radio network.
History
On March 27, 1963, the public agency Patrimonio Indígena del Valle de Mezquital signed on its first radio station, XHD-FM, with a formal inauguration by President Adolfo López Mateos. Operating then as now on 96.5 MHz, XHD was Hidalgo's first FM radio station (and the first radio station to operate in Ixmiquilpan); it also was the first radio school program in Mexico, broadcasting programming for the Mezquital Otomí population.
In 1975, XEZG-AM was permitted. XEZG offered programming targeted at a rural audience, while XHD sought to serve a more urban population. 1982 saw PIVM's radio holdings expand even further, with new AM stations at Tlachinol and Huejutla de Reyes (also now part of RTH). The name of the organization had changed to Patrimonio Indígena del Valle de Mezquital y la Huasteca Hidalguense (PIVMHH), and the station was known as Radio Mezquital y Huasteca Hidalguense.
On January 8, 1991, PIVMHH was liquidated. The radio stations were absorbed by the state government in 1995.
XEZG was cleared to migrate to FM in 2012 as XHZG-FM 94.9, though it would be years before it came into operation. XHZG and XHD simulcast, with 94.9 being receivable in Ixmiquilpan proper and 96.5 in the surrounding rural area.

Lalit Kanodia was born in Kolkata (then Calcutta) in West Bengal (India), the son of Shri Surajmal Kanodia, a bullion merchant and Smt. Chandravati Kanodia, a home maker. His family moved to Mumbai in 1942.
Kanodia attended Bombay Scottish School in Mumbai. Besides his academics, he participated in athletics and captained his schools’ football Team.
Kanodia studied science in Elphinstone College, Bombay University for 2 years. He was then admitted to Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, where he studied Mechanical Engineering. After graduating in 1963, Lalit secured admission to MIT, Cambridge, MA and completed his MS in Management in 1965 with the highest grade in the graduating class. He was awarded the Ford Foundation Fellowship while at MIT. He returned to MIT in 1966 for his PhD in management, which he completed in 1967. Lalit was a member of the Project MAC at MIT that built Compatible Time-Sharing System and MULTICS (the first two multi-user computer operating systems and precursors to UNIX).
Teaching
While at MIT, Kanodia taught a course on statistical decision theory to MBA students (1964–65). Later, in India he taught MBA students for 2 years (during 1968–70) at the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, Bombay University.
Tata Consultancy Services
In 1965, JRD Tata, the then chairman of Tata Group was contemplating to start a software company. He asked Kanodia to study the feasibility of computerization within the Tata Group. Kanodia wrote three papers for the Tata Group which led to automation of the Load Dispatch System of the Tata Electric Companies by Westinghouse, Computerization of the electricity billing system of the company and formation of a software development center. Kanodia then returned to MIT for his doctorate. He returned to India to form and head the software development center for the Tata Group. Kanodia formed the Tata Computer Center in 1967, later called Tata Consultancy Services in 1968.
Consulting
While in the United States, Kanodia consulted for Arthur D. Little and the Ford Motor Company. In India, he has been a consultant to the State Bank of India, the Somani Group and the Kamani Group of companies.
Datamatics
Kanodia established his own group of companies called "Datamatics" in 1975 with10 employees. In 1979 he set-up the first dedicated offshore development center for Wang Laboratories. He also established the first satellite link for Software development from India, between its software development center in Mumbai and AT&T Bell labs USA in 1991. This led |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminandes | Caminandes is an independently produced series of computer animated short films created by Pablo Vazquez (was born in Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina), produced and released by the Blender Foundation.
Etymology
The title "Caminandes" is a portmanteau of the Spanish word "caminar" ("to walk") and Andes, the longest continental mountain range in the world. The subtitles of episodes 2 and 3 are also portmanteaus of various Spanish words.
Plot
The films center on Koro the llama and his attempts to overcome various obstacles in Patagonia.
Caminandes 1: Llama Drama (2013)
Koro has trouble crossing an apparent desolate road, a problem that an unwitting Armadillo does not share.
Caminandes 2: Gran Dillama (2013)
Koro hunts for food on the other side of a fence and is once again inspired by the Armadillo but this time to a shocking effect.
Caminandes 3: Llamigos (2016)
Koro meets Oti, a pesky magellanic penguin, in an epic battle over tasty red berries during the winter.
Production
The films, inspired by the cartoons of Chuck Jones, are created using FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) such as
Blender, a professional free and open-source 3D computer graphics software
GIMP, a free and open-source raster graphics editor
Krita, a free and open-source raster graphics editor based on Qt 5 and the KDE Frameworks 5
Linux, a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution
The first film was produced by Pablo Vazquez, Beorn Leonard and Francesco Siddi with a soundtrack by Jan Morgenstern. Hjalti Hjalmarsson, Andy Goralczyk and Sergey Sharybin joined the production team for the second film.
Awards

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GraphQL | GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs and a query runtime engine.
GraphQL enables declarative data fetching where a client can specify exactly what data it needs from an API. Instead of multiple endpoints that return separate data, a GraphQL server exposes a single endpoint and responds with precisely the data a client asked for. Because a GraphQL server can fetch from separate data sources and present the data in a unified graph, it isn't tied to any specific database or storage engine.
History
Facebook started GraphQL development in 2012 and released it as open source in 2015. In 2018, GraphQL was moved to the newly established GraphQL Foundation, hosted by the non-profit Linux Foundation.
On 9 February 2018, the GraphQL Schema Definition Language (SDL) became part of the specification.
Many popular public APIs adopted GraphQL as the default way to access them. These include public APIs of Facebook, Github, Yelp, Shopify and Google Directions API.
Design
GraphQL supports reading, writing (mutating), and subscribing to changes to data (realtime updates – commonly implemented using WebSockets). A GraphQL service is created by defining types with fields, then providing functions to resolve the data for each field. The types and fields make up what is known as the schema definition. The functions that retrieve and map the data are called resolvers.
After being validated against the schema, a GraphQL query is executed by the server. The server returns a result that mirrors the shape of the original query, typically as JSON.
Type system
The root type of a GraphQL schema, by default, contains all of the fields that can be queried. Other types define the objects and fields that the GraphQL server can return. There are several base types, called scalars, to represent things like strings, numbers, and IDs.
Fields are defined as nullable by default, and a trailing exclamation mark can be used to make a field non-nullable (required). A field can be defined as a list by wrapping the field's type in square brackets (for example, ).type Query {
currentUser: User
}
type User {
id: ID!
name: String!
}
Queries
A GraphQL query defines the exact shape of the data needed by the client. query CurrentUser {
currentUser {
name
age
}
}Once validated and executed by the GraphQL server, the data is returned in the same shape.{
"currentUser": {
"name": "Yash Bhavsar"
"age":23
}
}
Mutations
A GraphQL mutation allows for data to be created, updated, or deleted. Mutations generally contain variables, which allow data to be passed into the server from the client. The mutation also defines the shape of the data that will be returned to the client after the operation is complete.
mutation CreateUser($name: String!, $age: Int!) {
createUser(userName: $name, age: $age) {
name
age
}
}The variables are passed as an object with fields that match the variable names in the mutation.{

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rede%20Gazeta | Rede Gazeta is a Brazilian television network owned by Rede Gazeta de Comunicações and affiliated with TV Globo. It owns four television stations covering all 78 cities of Espírito Santo, being TV Gazeta Vitória the flagship network.
History
Rede Globo de Televisão's programming arrived in Espírito Santo well before its affiliate established itself in Espírito Santo. As already described, in 1966, a group of politicians and businessmen created TV Clube Intermunicipal, the embryo of the creation of TV Gazeta, 10 years later, in 1976. The 60s and 70s were marked by changes in the political-economic axis of Espírito Santo and national. With an agrarian tradition (in a State that was beginning its migration to factory-export production) and linked to political activities (in a time of dictatorship), the Monteiro Lindenberg family started to invest to make crossings in the fields of power.
With the growth of the TV audience, mainly around Globo, included in the national project to establish a mass communication system in Brazil, the Monteiro Lindenberg family sees TV as a place for investment and action, reinforcing its presence in the media business, since the clan already owned the newspaper A Gazeta since the 1940s, acquired in the context of political-party disputes. Based on negotiations, disputes and conversations that date back to the early 1970s, the Monteiro Lindenberg family obtained the Globo retransmission contract and the concession of a channel, inaugurating TV Gazeta on September 11, 1976. In its beginnings , TV Gazeta hired experienced professionals in the area from other States of the Federation. It also promoted training for journalists and technicians with the TV Globo team, in Rio de Janeiro. The Social Communication course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes), with a qualification in Journalism and Advertising, was only created in 1975.
TV Gazeta obtained concessions in all regions of Espírito Santo (TV Gazeta Sul, based in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim; TV Gazeta Norte, in Linhares; and TV Gazeta Noroeste, in Colatina), always as a Globo retransmitter. These channels maintain local programming, reproducing content from Globo and TV Gazeta de Vitória.
In September 2021, the general director of Rede Gazeta, Café Lindenberg, became part of the network's presidency and board. In his place, as general director, collaborator Marcello Moraes takes over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-to-refresh | Pull-to-refresh is a touchscreen gesture that consists of touching the screen of a computing device with a finger or pressing a button on a pointing device, dragging the screen downward with the finger or pointing device, and then releasing it, as a signal to the application to refresh the contents of the screen.
The purpose of the gesture is to make refreshing immediately accessible. Criticism has been raised at pull-to-refresh for causing unwanted refreshes when the user is in the process of scrolling upwards.
Other names for the gesture include "pull-down-to-refresh", "pull-to-reload", "swipe to refresh", and variations thereof.
History
The pull-to-refresh gesture first appeared in the Tweetie mobile application developed by Loren Brichter. Brichter developed Tweetie, an iOS application for Twitter, as a personal project in 2008 after he quit his job at Apple Inc. in 2007.
While Brichter was initially developing Tweetie, he wanted to add a refresh function to the application. Regarding other mobile applications of that time, he said “They all had to find a spot and just cram a refresh button somewhere. Usually in one of the corners in a toolbar bordering a scrollable list. That was the most valuable real estate for navigation and action UI, so using it up for something as mundane as a refresh button just seemed wasteful.” Brichter thus decided to create a different method of refreshing such that the valuable corner space could be utilized for something else.
Although he initially planned to create a refresh mechanism that follows Apple’s platform conventions, Brichter’s work with pull-to-refresh resulted in a novel interaction new to Apple’s platform at the time.
The gesture was added as an option to the mobile edition of Google Chrome, the most used mobile web browser at that time, in version 41, 2015, and is mandatory since version 75, 2019.
Mozilla first added it to the "nightly" edition of their mobile Firefox web browser in 2020, and the year after they added it to the main version lineup, also known as "stable".
Creation
In the initial design of Tweetie’s refresh mechanism, Brichter placed a refresh button at the top of the Tweet list because users typically expected new tweets to appear at the top of the page. This design rolled out in Tweetie Version 1.0. Although it provided users with the ability to refresh their Twitter feed, the button utilized valuable screen real estate that Brichter wanted to use for other features. Brichter said “Tweetie 1.0 (with the refresh button at the top of the list) was so close to pull-to-refresh in hindsight, and it wasn’t much of a leap to go from a button to a gesture.”
Brichter experimented with two primary iterations of pull-to-refresh before releasing the final version. In the first iteration, users triggered the refresh when they scrolled across an invisible threshold on the screen. However, in this iteration there was no visual feedback that signaled to users that a refresh was occurri |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCHH%20Architecture | The Loader-Content-Handler-Handler, or "LCHH", is a web programming architecture that is closely modeled after the HTTP request-response cycle and the 3-tier web structure.
As its name suggests, LCHH defines four key implementation components:
The Loader is an ID'ed DIV container that identifies a partial update region for later content injection;
The Content that contains both static information and interactive elements, also known as "Triggers";
Client-side Handlers that process various trigger events, such as button clicks;
Server-side Handlers that respond to AJAX requests that are sent by the client-side handlers. Server-side handlers typically perform database CRUD operations before piggy-backing the updated content into the aforementioned Loader.
Comparison with XHR injection
LCHH uses the responseText of an XMLHttpRequest to replace the innerHTML value of the target DIV container. This is a common AJAX pattern. XHR injection alone, however, does not sum up LCHH. The "Content" in the initial loading of LCHH is instantly generated on the server-side as opposed to loading an empty container and then populating the container with another AJAX round-trip. Piggy-backing renewed content after database changes is also characteristic of LCHH.
LCHH organizes code into four categories:
Loader and Client-side Handlers (JavaScript functions) are stored in a "user-facing" file that is directly accessible by its URI;
A server-side script that can be included by the user-facing file. This script outputs the "Content";
A "routing script" that serves as a single point of call for invoking various AJAX calls;
Server-side handlers, typically stored under an "include" or "icl" sub-directory. Each handler is often implemented in a separate script file.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MT202%20COV | MT202 COV is a specific SWIFT message type used on the SWIFT network for financial institution (FI) funds transfer between financial institutions.
History
MT202 COV was implemented in 2009 to create traceability of the origin of funds (institution and account) through to the destination of funds (institution and account). This was in response to anti-money laundering and associated banking requirements.
Prior to MT202 COV the message format, MT202, were used primarily for two purposes, bank-to-bank payments (i.e. interest payments and settlement of trades) and cover payments. MT202 does not include origination/destination financial institution information. Particularly for cover payments, where a combination of MT103 and MT202 was used to direct funds transfers to a beneficiary account, the intermediate banks in the MT202 had no ability to understand and perform risk analysis/AML/compliance checks on the funds transfer based on the original and destination of the funds. Thus, intermediate banks could be unwittingly involved in illegal transactions under new regulations.
Scope and usage
Wire transfers sent over the SWIFT network were originally completed by the serial transfer of MT103 (customer credit transfer/cash transfer) messages from the initiating financial institutions to the customer via different financial institutions.
In order to improve the responsiveness of international banking, a method of cover payments was developed. All cover payments involve two messages, the MT103 and the MT202 COV. MT103 is the direct payment order to the beneficiary's bank that results in the beneficiary's account being credited a specific funding amount. The MT202 COV is the bank-to-bank order that instructs funds movement in alignment with the MT103 messages. The MT202 COV is needed because of correspondent banking networks and the complexity of international funds movements. Thus, an MT103 instruction is sent directly from the originator's bank to the beneficiary's bank instructing an account credit. The MT202 COV instruction then works across the correspondent banking network, instructing funds to move across intermediate banks.
The MT202 is the original standard message format. It does not contain both the origination and destination /account information. Thus, the intermediary banks who are moving money across the banking network cannot perform AML or other risk-based analysis to comply with their specific or regional banking laws.
The MT202 COV augments the MT202 message by containing the origination and destination and account, such that intermediary banks are aware of sources and destinations and can perform their own risk analysis as well as comply with their specific banking regulations.
Difference between MT202 and MT202 COV
As previously stated, MT202 was previously used to fund bank-to-bank payments, as well as cover payments made in conjunction with MT103 messages.
MT202 COV is now mandated for cover payments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DustPedia | DustPedia is a project funded by the European Union for exploitation of space science and exploration data. It is a collaboration of six European institutes with a primary goal of exploiting existing data in the Herschel Space Observatory and Planck Telescope databases. This data will be combined with other available data from both ground-based and space-based telescopes to make the most extensive and intensive study of galaxies in the nearby Universe.
Context
Many observations of galaxies over large look back times correspond very well with cosmological models of galaxy and larger scale structure formation. This has led to the wide spread belief that the current cosmological model is broadly correct. Although there is good agreement over large spatial scales there are some challenging disagreements between theory and observation when one looks over smaller scales and particularly at the properties of nearby galaxies. The distributions of galaxy mass and size, their locations within larger scale structures in the Universe and their star formation histories as a function of galactic mass are all examples of disparity with the currently favoured model. In a recent Nature article Peebles and Nusser stress the importance of nearby galaxies if one is to understand the detailed processes of galaxy evolution and hence develop a complete model of how galaxies change with time. They specifically say that "….nearby galaxies offer rich and still far from completely explored clues to a better picture of how galaxies form." The reason of course is that nearby galaxies can be studied in far greater detail than those that lie at the edge of the Cosmos and importantly that in general cosmological surveys cover such small areas of sky that they in fact do not sample the local population at all. Observations of cosmic dust address many aspects of the current galaxy evolutionary model i.e. star formation rate, growth of the metal abundance, loss of metals in galactic winds, physical processes in the interstellar medium etc. and so offer the potential for a much better understanding.
Objectives
The DustPedia project aims at addressing five specific but quite broad science issues that have a direct bearing on current evolutionary models of galaxies:
Measure the complete UV-mm spectral energy distribution (SEDs) for a large number (> 1000) of galaxies, and for different environments within individual galaxies.
Interpret the galaxy SEDs using radiative transfer and full SED models, to derive stellar, gas and dust properties, star formation rates and histories as a function of morphological type.
Determine how the dust NIR-mm/radio SED evolves throughout the Universe and how this is related to the underlying dust properties
Develop a dust evolution model that is consistent with the SEDs of galaxies of different morphological types and determine the primary sources and sinks for cosmic dust.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General%20Dynamics%20Mission%20Systems%20-%20Canada | General Dynamics Mission Systems - Canada, formerly Computing Devices Canada, is a technology-based electronic systems, systems integration, and in-service support to defence organizations and public security markets in Canada and abroad. Its parent company is General Dynamics.
History
Computing Devices Canada was incorporated on August 31, 1948 as a global defence contractor. The company was founded by two Polish immigrants to Canada, George Glinski and Joe Norton, to support the rebuilding of Canada's military after the Second World War. The company got its start by manufacturing the Position and Homing Indicator (PHI), a device developed at the National Research Council that kept track of an aircraft's position and indicated its return route to base. One large contract that had a significant influence on the company's growth was for the Kicksorter, a digital-pulse counter designed for the Atomic Energy of Canada Laboratories (AECL) in Chalk River. If the Kicksorter had been slightly modified to do simple arithmetic operations, it would have been a rudimentary computer. AECL purchased a large number of these devices between 1957 and 1963, when they were replaced by one of the early computers in the PDP series manufactured by the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Another contract was to design and construct a large digital simulator for the Royal Canadian Navy that was never completed.
During the 1990s, Computing Devices Canada implemented the Iris Digital Communications System, which was a thorough communications upgrade for the Canadian Army, and on the strength of that effort, was awarded the Bowman contract to perform a similar effort for the British Army.
In 1998, General Dynamics purchased the company, renaming it to General Dynamics Canada.
Products and programs
The Aurora Program is the mid-life upgrade of the CP140 Aurora aircraft operated by the Canadian Department of National Defence as a long-range maritime patrol platform for surface and undersea surveillance roles. GD Mission Systems — Canada has been contracted to develop the Data Management System (DMS) and Acoustic Suite subsystems. The latest release brings with it new capabilities in terms of Link 16, BLOS-WGS satcom and self-defence in the form of a Directed IR Countermeasures system (DIRCM).
In 2014, they were awarded two contracts on the Mercury Global Project. The first contract is for the design-and-build of a network of Mercury Global anchor stations valued at $59.1 million. Through this network of antennas, the Department of National Defence will access the Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) constellation and will be able to provide secure communications for deployed Canadian Forces. The second contract provides ongoing in-service support and is valued at $8.5 million.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Investigative%20Technique | Network Investigative Technique, or NIT, is a form of malware (or hacking) employed by the FBI since at least 2002. It is a drive-by download computer program designed to provide access to a computer.
Controversies
Its usage has raised both Fourth Amendment concerns and jurisdictional issues. The FBI has to date, despite a court order, declined to provide the complete code in a child sex abuse case involving the Tor anonymity network. On May 12, 2016 Mozilla filed an amicus curiae brief inasmuch as the FBI's exploit against the Mozilla Firefox web browsers potentially puts millions of users at risk. It asked that the exploit be told to them before it is told to the defendant, thus raising Fifth Amendment issues as well. Also, US District Judge Robert J. Bryan in Tacoma, Washington has ruled that while the defendant in United States v. Michaud has the right to review the code, the government also has the right to keep it secret (two other federal judges in related cases have ruled to suppress evidence found as a result of the NIT); On May 25, 2016, however, he ruled that "For the reasons stated orally on the record, evidence of the NIT., the search warrant issued based on the NIT., and the fruits of that warrant should be excluded and should not be offered in evidence at trial..."
In March 2017 the American Civil Liberties Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers released a 188-page guide to enable meaningful 4th Amendment analysis. In April a Minnesota judge ruled that the warrant was invalid from the moment it was signed, given that the FBI agent knew that it exceed the jurisdictional requirements of Rule 41. All evidence gathered after that warrant was served was hence the fruit of the poison tree.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polina%20Bayvel | Polina Leopoldovna Bayvel (; born 14 April 1966) is a British engineer and academic. She is currently Professor of Optical Communications & Networks in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London. She has made major contributions to the investigation and design of high-bandwidth multiwavelength optical networking.
Education and early life
Bayvel was born into a Jewish family, and grew up in Kharkiv and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) until 1978. Her father is the physicist Leopold P. Bayvel, her mother Raisa (Rachel) was a textile/pattern technologist/garment engineer and later published studies in Eastern-European Jewish history.
She was educated in England at Hasmonean High School for Girls and University College London where she was awarded a Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1986 followed by a PhD in 1990. In 1990, she was awarded a Royal Society Postdoctoral Exchange Fellowship in the Fibre Optics Laboratory at the of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
Research and career
Bayvel's research has focused on maximising the speed and capacity of optical fibre communication systems, and the fundamental studies of capacity-limiting optical nonlinearities and their mitigation. She has made major contributions to the investigation and design of high-bandwidth, multi-wavelength optical communication networks.
She was one of the first to show the feasibility of using the wavelength domain for routing in optical networks over a range of distance- and time-scales. She has established the applicability of these new optical network architecture concepts, which have been widely implemented in commercial systems and networks. These systems and networks underpin the Internet, and the digital communications infrastructure – and are essential for its growth. A new project, the Initiate project, aims to test technologies that will make internet connections faster and more secure, which Polina Bayvel indicated will allow them to test them at a national scale. Her research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Awards and honours
Bayvel won the Institute of Physics Clifford Paterson Medal and Prize in 2002. She was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2002 and was awarded the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Photonic Society Engineering Achievement Award in 2013. Bayvel was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science degree in 2014 by the University of South Wales. In 2014 she delivered the Clifford Paterson Lecture and in 2015 was awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering Colin Campbell Mitchell Award. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2016. Bayvel was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to engineering.
In 2019, Bayvel was elected to the Board of Directors of The Optical Society, she began her three year term on 1 January 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpyEye | SpyEye is a malware program that attacks users running Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer on Microsoft Windows operating systems. This malware uses keystroke logging and form grabbing to steal user credentials for malicious use. SpyEye allows hackers to steal money from online bank accounts and initiate transactions even while valid users are logged into their bank account
SpyEye has the ability to insert new fields and alter existing fields when a compromised user's browser displays a web page, allowing it to prompt for user names, passwords, or card numbers, thereby giving hackers information that allows them to steal money without account holders ever noticing. It can save the user's false balance (with fraudulent transactions hidden) so that the next time the user logs in, the fraudulent transactions and real balance are not displayed in the user's browser (though the bank still sees the fraudulent transactions.)
SpyEye emanated from Russia in 2009 and was sold in underground forums for $500+ in which SpyEye advertised features such as keyloggers, auto-fill credit card modules, email backups, config files (encrypted), Zeus killer, HTTP access, POP3 grabbers and FTP grabbers.
Target users and institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada and India were the largest victims of SpyEye; the United States made up 97% of the institutions that fell victim of this malware.
Authors of SpyEye
It is believed that the creator of Zeus said that he was retiring and had given the source code and rights to sell Zeus to his biggest competitor, the creator of the SpyEye trojan; those same experts warned the retirement was a ruse and expect the developer to return with new tricks.
In 2016, Aleksandr Andreevich Panin, author of SpyEye, was arrested and sentenced to nine years and six months in prison.
Hamza Bendelladj, co-author of SpyEye, was arrested and also sentenced to prison for 15 years; both men were charged for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from banks all around the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish%20Wide%20Area%20Network | The Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) is the secure network for Scotland’s public services. More than 6,000 sites are connected by the network.
After the tendering process concluded in March 2013, one of the parties launched a legal challenge, which was dropped in February 2014.
History
NHS Scotland previously used the N3 national communications network supplied by British Telecom (BT).
The procurement process for a new network began in October 2012. On 21 March 2013, three bidders were announced as having been shortlisted: BT, a partnership of Cable & Wireless Worldwide with Virgin Media Business, and a partnership of Capita with Updata Infrastructure. After a preferred bidder was selected, BT served NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) with a summons, seeking a re-run of the tendering process.
In January 2014 the case was heard at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The court found in favour of NSS, and the following month BT decided not to appeal the decision. NSS announced the award of the contract to Capita-Updata, who had been their preferred bidder. In November 2014 BT and NSS released a statement to indicate the matter was settled.
The first phase of the network was to involve the NHS and six local authorities. By October 2015 there were 3,200 sites connected to the network. By February 2016, the rollout was 11 months behind schedule. In March 2016, the contract was worth an estimated value of up to £325million over a nine-year period. In 2017, CityFibre were also involved in the connecting sites. In 2020 Capita secured several contract renewals.
SWAN connects more than 6,000 sites across Scotland, including every hospital and ambulance station, also GP surgeries, community pharmacies, local councils premesis and schools.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized%20application | A decentralised application (DApp, dApp, Dapp, or dapp) is an application that can operate autonomously, typically through the use of smart contracts, that run on a decentralized computing, blockchain or other distributed ledger system. Like traditional applications, DApps provide some function or utility to its users. However, unlike traditional applications, DApps operate without human intervention and are not owned by any one entity, rather DApps distribute tokens that represent ownership. These tokens are distributed according to a programmed algorithm to the users of the system, diluting ownership and control of the DApp. Without any one entity controlling the system, the application is therefore decentralised.
Decentralised applications have been popularised by distributed ledger technologies (DLT), such as the Ethereum or Cardano blockchain, on which DApps are built, amongst other public blockchains.
DApps are divided into numerous categories: exchanges, businesses, gambling, games, finance, development, storage, wallet, governance, property, identity, media, social, security, energy, insurance, health, etc.
Definition
There are a series of criteria that must be met in order for an application to be considered a DApp.
Traditional definitions of a decentralised application require a DApp to be open-source. That is, the application operates autonomously without a centralised entity in control of the majority of the application’s associated tokens. DApps also have a public, decentralised blockchain that is used by the application to keep a cryptographic record of data, including historical transactions.
Although traditional DApps are typically open-source, DApps that are fully closed-source and partially closed-source have emerged as the cryptocurrency industry evolves. As of 2019, only 15.7% of DApps are fully open-source while 25% of DApps are closed source. In other words, the proportion of DApps with publicly available code is less than the proportion of Dapps without publicly available code. DApps that are open-source generally have higher transaction volumes than closed-source DApps.
Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, is an example of a DApp.
Usage
DApps can be classified based on whether they operate on their own block chain, or whether they operate on the block chain of another DApp.
Smart contracts
Smart contracts are used by developers to maintain data on the block chain and to execute operations. Multiple smart contracts can be developed for a single DApp to handle more complex operations. Over 75% of DApps are supported by a single smart contract, with the remainder using multiple smart contracts.
DApps incur gas, that is fees paid to the validators of the block chain, due to the cost of deploying and executing the DApp's smart contracts. The amount of gas required of a DApp's functions is dependent on the complexity of its smart contracts. A complex smart contract of a DApp that operates on the Ethereum blockchain m |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-Predicting%20Machine%20No.%202 | Tide-Predicting Machine No. 2, also known as Old Brass Brains, was a special-purpose mechanical computer that uses gears, pulleys, chains, and other mechanical components to compute the height and time of high and low tides for specific locations. The machine can perform tide calculations much faster than a person could do with pencil and paper. The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey put the machine into operation in 1910. It was used until 1965, when it was replaced by an electronic computer.
Early U.S. tide-prediction efforts
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of gravitational forces exerted by the Moon, Sun, and rotation of the Earth. In 1867 the United States Coast Survey started printing annual tide tables to support safe and effective maritime, coastal, and defense activities. Before long, these tables showed the times and heights of high and low tides to the nearest minute and tenth of a foot, respectively. Tables were printed for a year at a time and distributed prior to the start of the year.
The prediction of tides is very challenging as it depends on multiple factors–including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the shape of the coastline, and near-shore bathymetry. Tide theories attempt to account for these factors but lead to complex calculations. Originally, calculations were performed by hand, which was very labor-intensive and error-prone. The burden became even larger when the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (USCGS, the successor to the Coast Survey) started using the more accurate harmonic method for predictions of tides in 1884.
To significantly reduce the work required to predict tides, in 1881 William Ferrel of the USCGS designed a tide-predicting machine. Fauth & Co. Instrument Makers built Tide-Predicting Machine No. 1 and delivered it in 1882. The Survey started using the machine routinely in 1883.
History and mechanism
In 1895 the USCGS grew concerned because Tide-Predicting Machine No. 1 had developed considerable wear from almost constant use over 12 years. The office decided to construct a new machine that was faster, more accurate, and more reliable. This became Tide-Predicting Machine No. 2.
Rolin Harris and E. G. Fischer of the USCGS led the effort. The design team studied previous British and U.S. tide-predicting machines and incorporated their best attributes in the design of the new machine. The machine, also known as “Old Brass Brains”, used an intricate arrangement of gears, pulleys, slides, and other components. The design of the new machine was approved in 1895, and construction began in 1896.
Tide-Predicting Machine No. 2 was the first tide-predicting machine to incorporate both a paper graph of the tides–the approach used by earlier British machines–and dials and scales that showed the tide height and corresponding date and time–used by Tide-Predicting Machine No. 1. The dials and scales made it much easier for an operator to precisely determine the height an |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segment%20routing | Segment routing, a form of computer networking, is a modern variant of source routing that is being developed within the SPRING and IPv6 working groups of the IETF. In a segment routed network, an ingress node may prepend a header to packets that contain a list of segments, which are instructions that are executed on subsequent nodes in the network. These instructions may be forwarding instructions, such as an instruction to forward a packet to a specific destination or interface.
Segment routing works either on top of a MPLS network or on an IPv6 network.
In an MPLS network, segments are encoded as MPLS labels. Under IPv6, a new header called a Segment Routing Header (SRH) is used. Segments in a SRH are encoded in a list of IPv6 addresses.

Story
A New Power
Four monsters: Bemular, Talesdon, Sadola, and Gudon are mysteriously revived at the Monster Graveyard. Ultraman Zero eliminates them and then meets their master, Alien Bat Glacier, who introduces his monster army, the Four Beast Warriors of Hell. Zero tries to attack, however, Glacier quickly traps him inside the Techtor Gear Hatred, armor which was created from the grudges of deceased monsters. Zero then suffers a one-sided defeat by Ex Red King. Pigmon, a small monster who Glacier accidentally revived, watches the battle from a safe distance. Ex Red King notices Pigmon and tries to eliminate him, but Zero absorbs the attack and uses his StrongCorona Zero form to escape before killing the monster.
Later, Zero and Pigmon find themselves trapped in a pocket dimension. While trying to escape, Zero recalls his reason for arriving at the Monster Graveyard, and tries to understand why Ultraman Dyna's and Cosmos's powers remained inside him after their last battle together. Suddenly, Glacier appears and brings Zero his next opponent: two clones of his alternate forms. He quickly realizes that his opponents are the images of his fear (and powers), and he faces them, defeating the true enemy, Galberos, and escaping from the pocket dimension. Once he is free, Glacier releases two monsters, Gan-Q and Bemstar. As they fight Zero through the use of a wormhole connection, Zero assumes his second alternate form, LunaMiracle Zero, and kills them in one swoop.
Once the monsters are defeated, Glacier reveals that the Four Beast Warriors of Hell had achieved their purpose, and he absorbs their resentment in a climactic fight against Zero. In the middle of the battle, he exploits Pigmon by revealing that their life force is connected so that if Glacier dies, Pigmon would also die. Zero is forced to submit to Glacier's torture, however, Pigmon reassures him, which allows Zero to fight back by splitting into his alternate forms. LunaMiracle Zero separates Glacier from the restless monster spirits and saves Pigmon's life, then StrongCorona Zero uses Garnate Buster to defeat Glacier. In the aftermath of the battle, Zero finds the purpose of his new powers and reunites with his comrades.
Shining Zero
Five groups of aliens, known as the Darkness Five, discover Zero's capabilities from Glacier. Meanwhile, on a distant world, King Silvergon wreaks havoc |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West%20Los%20Angeles%20VA%20Medical%20Center | The West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center is among a network of housing, shelter, utilities, food preparation facilities and a hospital mandated to permanently serve Veterans at the West Los Angeles VA Soldiers Home. The approximately 400 remaining acres of the Soldiers Home is located adjacent to the West Los Angeles, Westwood and Brentwood neighborhoods of Los Angeles, has its own ZIP Code and accounts for most of the over $1,100,000,000 Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System's annual federal budget. Operated by the Veterans Health Administration, the West Los Angeles VA Soldiers Home is the first U.S. Government facility for homeless Veterans and the only one it permanently maintains in Public Trust to house them.
History
The medical facility, which sits on land donated by Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker in 1887, was previously known as the Sawtelle Veterans Home. This became the Wadsworth Hospital in 1927 and was rebuilt in 1977 into the present modern building.
In 2011 a group of homeless veterans sued the center, claiming that the VA was renting land in the center for commercial gain and ignoring the needs of homeless veterans for housing. In 2015, as part of the settlement of the 2011 lawsuit, the Department of Veterans Affairs released a draft master plan for the future of the campus.
In 2016, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced a plan to add 1200 units of housing for homeless veterans to the hospital campus.
The LA Metro D Line is being extended from Koreatown's Wilshire/Western station to the Westwood/VA Hospital station as part of the D Line Extension. This station will be located north of the Hospital between Bonsall Ave, Wilshire Blvd and I-405. The station will open in 2027 as part of Phase 3 of the extension, along with Westwood/UCLA station.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RV%20Huxley | RV Huxley was the first research vessel used by the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom explicitly for fisheries research and is regarded as the first vessel yielding data for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (United Kingdom) - Directorate of Fisheries, now known as the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) .
History
Huxley was built by Smiths Dock Company, North Shields in 1899, and purchased by George Parker Bidder III. The vessel was leased to the MBA by Bidder, who used the profits to fund the Ray Lankester Investigatorship at the MBA. Huxley was originally a commercial steam trawler named Khedive, but was renamed Huxley in honour of Thomas Henry Huxley in 1902 to assist the newly created fisheries laboratory in Lowestoft. Her fish-hold was gutted and turned into cabin accommodation for sea-going 'naturalists' and their assistants, and a laboratory was provided on deck, so setting the pattern for many subsequent fishery research vessels.
Huxley was the first research vessel acquired by the MBA that was able to venture into open waters, and was thus used to survey the southern North Sea, the English Channel, and the area west of Plymouth. This was England's contribution to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (Scotland, the northern section, was treated differently).
Service as a fishery research vessel
Fishery investigations began in September 1902 under the directorship of Walter Garstang. The work consisted of systematic exploration of the North Sea trawling grounds at different seasons of the year, together with studies of growth and migration of plaice Pleuronectes platessa based on tagging experiments, examination of the food of fish and the nature of the seabed. Detailed catch records from North Sea survey stations between 1902 and 1903 were summarised in a report published by Garstang in 1905. Research continued until 1909.
Data from these early surveys have now been digitized as part of the Trawling through Time initiative at Cefas. More than 150 hand-written ‘naturalists logbooks’ spanning 1902-1909 have been re-discovered in the Cefas archives.
Plaice and other fish were caught, labelled, and released, and when they were subsequently re-caught by trawlers, the location of recapture was marked. Within the first year, 1,463 plaice were marked in this fashion, 19% of which were recaptured - proving that a significant proportion of the North Sea fish stock was being caught by fishermen each season. It was also discovered that immature fish did not breed on the Dogger Bank, and there was a suggestion that moving immature fish from inshore areas to the bank would result in more catches the next season for English fishing vessels.
Service from 1910 onwards
In January 1910, on instruction from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, HM Treasury passed responsibility for North Sea fishery investigations to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries (later MAFF), wh |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSI%20Mariner | GSI Mariner is a Canadian research/survey ship. She was built and used originally by Geophysical Service Inc. (GSI) to record seismic data on the Mackenzie River delta and the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean. Later she was owned by other companies, including Halliburton Canada. She is currently beached on the banks of the Mackenzie south of Inuvik, near the beginning of the Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road.
GSI Mariner was built in 1971 in Edmonton, and taken up in sections to Great Slave Lake later that year to be launched onto the Mackenzie. GSI ran surveys and did seismic research with her during the summers and beached her over winters, voyages that continued as Halliburton took over GSI and then after the company was reincorporated. Whether she will sail again is not known.
Characteristics
GSI Mariner is built on a steel hull laid in carvel style. She is long and deep with a beam. She has a gross tonnage of 308 with a net tonnage of 115.
In the engine room power is provided by two diesel engines. Together they deliver to the twin-screw propellers. The vessel can make .
The vessel's outer hull and lower deck are painted red. The upper deck is painted white. On each side of the bridge is a logo featuring the capital letters "HGS" and a globe-shaped grid pattern. Various antennae protrude from this level.
History
Davey Einarsson, a GSI executive and lifelong employee of the oilfield services company, returned to Canada from Libya after the 1969 coup d'état that brought Muammar Gaddafi to power. He was assigned to the company's Arctic operations, off the coasts of Alaska and Canada in the Beaufort Sea. At the time the company had only one boat to serve its clients, the MV Grebe, a modified former submarine chaser.
He decided the company needed its own bigger and newer boat. During the winter of 1970 Alum Construction of Edmonton built GSI Mariner in sections. The following summer the company placed those sections on trucks and took them up from Alberta to Hay River, Northwest Territories, where they were welded together and launched into the waters of Great Slave Lake. From there her maiden voyage took her up the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean doing seismic analysis.
The company continued to operate during summers in the 1970s and '80s, even as GSI became part of Halliburton. In 1982 its encounter with a pack of bowhead whales while taking seismic shots off the coast of Alaska was used in scientific research suggesting the species is quite tolerant of offshore oil and gas exploration taking place near its habitat.
During the winters she was moored in ice near Tuktoyaktuk, where the Mackenize drains into the Arctic. By the late 1990s she became the property of an Inuvik man and was beached on the east shore of the river's eastern channel south of Inuvik, where the Tuktoyaktuk Winter Road begins. In that capacity she was often seen as a landmark on the second season of the History Channel series Ice Road Truckers, which took place in th |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/2%20Server%20Push | HTTP/2 Server Push is an optional feature of the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 network protocols that allows servers to send resources to a client before the client requests them. Server Push is a performance technique aimed at reducing latency by loading resources preemptively, even before the client knows they will be needed. In practice, Server Push frequently results in wasted bandwidth because the server rarely knows which resources are already loaded by the client and transmits the same resource multiple times, resulting in slowdowns if the resources being pushed compete for bandwidth with resources which were actually requested.
HTTP/2 Server Push is not a notification mechanism from server to client. Instead, pushed resources are used by the client when it may have otherwise produced a request to get the resource anyway.
History
On May 14, 2015, HTTP/2 was standardized by ratified as a Proposed Standard. The document includes section 8.2 entitled "Server Push" which introduced the concept to the protocol as an optional extension. Google Chrome 40 became the first browser supporting the final standardized HTTP/2 version, including the optional Server Push.
In February 2018, Nginx 1.13.9 was released with optional support for HTTP/2 Server Push.
In October 2022, Google announced intent to remove Server Push from Google Chrome citing the poor performance of the extension in practice. Chrome 106 became the first release disabling Server Push by default.
Basic concept
For example, in the case of a website with three resources: index.html, styles.css and script.js, when a user, through their browser, connects to Wikipedia webserver to get the home page, they automatically retrieve index.html. As the browser parses the HTML text in index.html, it finds instructions that will require styles.css and script.js. At that point, the browser will issue requests to get these other two files. To assemble the complete webpage, the browser will stack such requests as it gradually discovers the site's composition.
With HTTP/2 Push, the server can take the initiative by having rules that trigger content to be sent even before it is requested. In this example scenario, the server knows that anyone requesting index.html will need styles.css and script.js, so it can push them to the client immediately without waiting for the client to request them. If done correctly, by the time the browser finishes parsing index.html, the transfer of styles.css and script.js would have already started, or even completed, removing the latency of having to request these and wait for them to arrive.
How HTTP/2 PUSH works at a protocol level
Push works over HTTP/2, which at its core is a frames protocol, meaning that information is exchanged in groups of bytes called frames. Additionally, frames are part of streams, and streams are identified by a number. The stream number is present in each frame as a binary field. Streams allow matching requests to responses, e.g. the response to |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu%20Jiandong | Wu Jiandong () is a Chinese scientist, active in the fields of energy policy and artificial intelligence, in particular computer networked medical services. Over a career of more than 30 years, several proposals and reports put forward by Wu have been adopted and applied by the Chinese government.
Contributions
Energy strategy
According to a special report carried by Xinhua News Agency — China’s state news agency — and as honored by the industry, Wu Jiandong is the founder of “Intelligent Energy Doctrine” and “Chinese Energy Internet of Things Doctrine”. The energy system he proposed is a multi-helix structure consisting of eight agents including customer right, intelligence right, finance right, processing right, resource right, taxation right, emission right, and facility right, and the “Multi-Helix Structure” has been named as ‘Wu Jiandong Energy Helix’.
As project leader, and in 2009, he presided over the formulation of the implementation scheme for the Chinese intelligent energy net projects outlined in the key energy plan under the National Twelfth Five-Year Plan. In 2010, he was called "One Of the Few Thought Leaders in the World" in the Global Smart Grid Forum sponsored by the US Department of Energy and International Smart Grid Alliance. Recently, he first comprehensively put forward the ‘Energy IOT Doctrine’ in international community, and wrote a report on "Intelligent Energy Net – Action That Determines Success of World's Low Carbon Growth Transition".
The Intelligent Energy Doctrine put forward by Wu in 2009 is of revolutionary significance to the construction of an intelligent energy net or "smart grid". Mr. Guido Bartels, Chairman of 2010 International Smart Grid Alliance, commented: “China is leading the world in quite a few innovative thinking in energy field. And the advanced concepts put forward by Wu and the team he led has been widely acknowledged in the industry, and Wu has made people understanding more and more clearer the critical pillar elements in energy transition, which is Intelligent Energy Net.” In addition, people in the industry have compared the “Intercontinental Interactive Energy Network Program” proposed by Wu with the US Pickens Energy Program and has named it as “Wu Jiandong Program”. In March, 2013, the publication of “The Green Paper Outline On Deepening China Electrical Power System Reformation”, primarily edited by Wu Jiandong, received great echo in the industry, and the book was honored by policy makers as having important reference value to the central government in studying and deciding the plan for a new round of electric power system reforms.
ICT and artificial intelligence
In 2011, Wu published his article “Develop System Mode and Strategic Paths for Super Internet” which occupied a whole edition of the Science Times sponsored by China Academy of Science. The editor stated that Professor Wu first put forward the ideological system for developing “Super Internet” in international society |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client%20hypervisor | In computing, a client hypervisor is a hypervisor that is designed for use on client computers such as laptops, desktops or workstations, rather than on a server. It is a technique of host virtualization which enables the parallel execution of multiple operating systems (or virtual machines) on shared hardware. These guest systems may be used for a wide variety of tasks normally performed by dedicated physical computer systems. Client hypervisors are included in cloud computing and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) designs. Some well-known client hypervisors are VMware Workstation, VirtualBox and VirtualPC. Client hypervisors are categorized in two types:
Type 1 (Bare metal): this type of client hypervisor runs directly on the host machine's hardware and serves as the host operating system, providing hardware access to guests via its own drivers. Also, it create a layer above the layer for allocate system resources to all installed virtual machines.
Type 2 (Virtualized): this type of client hypervisor operates inside the host operating system as a stand-alone application and invokes the master operating system for access to the physical computer's resources.

The data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan from a sample that includes music stores, music departments at electronics and department stores, internet sales (both physical and digital) and verifiable sales from concert venues in the United States. The chart is composed of studio, live, and compilation releases by Latin artists performing in the Latin hip hop, urban, dance and reggaeton, the most popular Latin Rhythm music genres.
There were ten number-one albums in 2010. Puerto Rican duo Wisin & Yandel's seventh studio album, La Revolución (2009) bowed at the top of the chart for twenty-seven weeks in 2009, before leading the chart for the first fourteen weeks of 2010. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number seven, selling over 35,000 copies in its first week. It became the "highest debut for a Spanish language recording act since Mana's Amar Es Combatir debuted and peaked at number four in September 2006." This made "Maná and Wisin & Yandel the only artists who record exclusively in Spanish who have made it to the top ten of the Billboard 200." It later was awarded the Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Album of the Year in 2010.
Puerto Rican duo Angel & Khriz's third studio album, Da' Take Over (2010) lead the chart for one week in April. The album became the group's first number one set on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Albums chart, debuting at number six and eighteen on the Billboard Latin Albums and Billboard Rap Albums charts, respectively. Puerto Rican performer Ivy Queen's seventh studio album, Drama Queen (2010) sold 3000 copies in its first week, dominating the chart for ten consecutive weeks from July until October. The set debuted at number 163 on the Billboard 200 chart, number eighteen on the Billboard Rap Albums chart, and number three on the Billboard Latin Albums chart. The album gave Queen her second number one on the Latin Rhythm Albums chart, remaining the only female artist to post a number one on that chart.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%20modeling | Energy modeling or energy system modeling is the process of building computer models of energy systems in order to analyze them. Such models often employ scenario analysis to investigate different assumptions about the technical and economic conditions at play. Outputs may include the system feasibility, greenhouse gas emissions, cumulative financial costs, natural resource use, and energy efficiency of the system under investigation. A wide range of techniques are employed, ranging from broadly economic to broadly engineering. Mathematical optimization is often used to determine the least-cost in some sense. Models can be international, regional, national, municipal, or stand-alone in scope. Governments maintain national energy models for energy policy development.
Energy models are usually intended to contribute variously to system operations, engineering design, or energy policy development. This page concentrates on policy models. Individual building energy simulations are explicitly excluded, although they too are sometimes called energy models. IPCC-style integrated assessment models, which also contain a representation of the world energy system and are used to examine global transformation pathways through to 2050 or 2100 are not considered here in detail.
Energy modeling has increased in importance as the need for climate change mitigation has grown in importance. The energy supply sector is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. The IPCC reports that climate change mitigation will require a fundamental transformation of the energy supply system, including the substitution of unabated (not captured by CCS) fossil fuel conversion technologies by low-GHG alternatives.
Model types
A wide variety of model types are in use. This section attempts to categorize the key types and their usage. The divisions provided are not hard and fast and mixed-paradigm models exist. In addition, the results from more general models can be used to inform the specification of more detailed models, and vice versa, thereby creating a hierarchy of models. Models may, in general, need to capture "complex dynamics such as:
energy system operation
technology stock turnover
technology innovation
firm and household behaviour
energy and non-energy capital investment and labour market adjustment dynamics leading to economic restructuring
infrastructure deployment and urban planning"
Models may be limited in scope to the electricity sector or they may attempt to cover an energy system in its entirety (see below).
Most energy models are used for scenario analysis. A scenario is a coherent set of assumptions about a possible system. New scenarios are tested against a baseline scenario – normally business-as-usual (BAU) – and the differences in outcome noted.
The time horizon of the model is an important consideration. Single-year models – set in either the present or the future (say 2050) – assume a non-evolving capital s |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed%20ledger | A distributed ledger (also called a shared ledger or distributed ledger technology or DLT) is the consensus of replicated, shared, and synchronized digital data that is geographically spread (distributed) across many sites, countries, or institutions. In contrast to a centralized database, a distributed ledger does not require a central administrator, and consequently does not have a single (central) point-of-failure.
In general, a distributed ledger requires a peer-to-peer (P2P) computer network and consensus algorithms so that the ledger is reliably replicated across distributed computer nodes (servers, clients, etc.). The most common form of distributed ledger technology is the blockchain (commonly associated with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency), which can either be on a public or private network. Infrastructure for data management is a common barrier to implementing DLT.
Characteristics
Distributed ledger data is typically spread across multiple nodes (computational devices) on a P2P network, where each replicates and saves an identical copy of the ledger data and updates itself independently of other nodes. The primary advantage of this distributed processing pattern is the lack of a central authority, which would constitute a single point of failure. When a ledger update transaction is broadcast to the P2P network, each distributed node processes a new update transaction independently, and then collectively all working nodes use a consensus algorithm to determine the correct copy of the updated ledger. Once a consensus has been determined, all the other nodes update themselves with the latest, correct copy of the updated ledger. Security is enforced through cryptographic keys and signatures.
Applications
In 2016, some banks tested distributed ledger systems for payments to determine their usefulness. In 2020, Axoni launched Veris, a distributed ledger platform that manages equity swap transactions. The platform, which matches and reconciles post-trade data on stock swaps, is used by BlackRock Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and Citigroup, Inc.
A pilot scheme by the Monetary Authority of Singapore completed its first live trades using DLT in 2022. The pilot by Singapore's central bank involved DBS and JP Morgan. The banks traded using smart contracts against liquidity pools of tokenized Singapore government bonds, Japanese government bonds, yen, and Singapore dollars. Singapore has set up two more pilots. Standard Chartered Bank is exploring tokens for trade finance; and HSBC and United Overseas Bank are working with Marketnode, a digital markets infrastructure provider, on products for wealth management.
Types
In the context of cryptocurrencies, distributed ledger technologies can be categorized in terms of their data structures, consensus algorithms, permissions, and whether they are mined. DLT data structure types include linear data structures (blockchains) to more complex directed acyclic graph (DAG) and hybrid data structures. DLT co |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific%20prison%20programming%20in%20the%20United%20States | Gender-specific prison programming in the United States are programs created to prepare incarcerated women for successful reentry, and minimize recidivism. Prison programming and how it is structured has changed significantly over the decades to fit the needs of women in gender-specific programming. Focus on gender-specific programming increased during the 1970s and 1980s, an era marked by a substantial increase in the female prison population. Traditional programming in female correctional facilities have been deemed ineffective since most were structured to fit men's needs. For example, women's pathways to prison typically involve drugs, while men are typically involved in violent crimes. Additionally, women are more likely to have experiences of sexual and/or physical abuse relative to men.
History of programming in women's prisons
Before 1980
Programming for imprisoned women was centered on domesticity, although efforts were made to include industrial training programs and academic programs. For example, the Indiana Women's Prison tried to incorporate chair caning, paper-boxing making, glove stitching, and laundry, which, with the exception of the latter, were deemed "financially disappointing." Academic classes were difficult to maintain due to staff and funding shortages, and differences in education levels among the women. At another institution in Framingham, Massachusetts, administrators implemented an indenture system, a conditional early release program that allowed women to serve as domestic servants in nearby homes located on the country side, which proved to be rather successful with a less than nine percent recidivism rate for those who participated in the program. Domesticity was also promoted by prisoner officials. For example, in 1896, former superintendent Sarah Keely described the work offered to women as being appropriate, since it reflected work in a familial setting. The lucrative nature and accessibility of acquiring domestic skills contributed to their lack of participation in higher skills training. Despite efforts to equip female inmates with remunerative skills, programming throughout the early and mid-1900s continued to consist of limited educational and vocational opportunities. Job training programming mostly entailed training in as cleaning, sewing, cosmetology, food service, laundry, and clerical work, programs that did not lead women to meaningful and financially secure job opportunities upon release. It has been noted that use of such programs persisted since most women entered prison with little to no education or work experience.
Prior to the 1980s, there was a lack of programming focused on drug treatment for incarcerated women, and even less research regarding the outcomes of treatment programs in general. Research regarding the relationship between women and substance abuse had begun only a few years earlier during the 1970s, and focused primarily on alcohol treatment services, rather than drug treatmen |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20re-identification | Data re-identification or de-anonymization is the practice of matching anonymous data (also known as de-identified data) with publicly available information, or auxiliary data, in order to discover the person the data belong to. This is a concern because companies with privacy policies, health care providers, and financial institutions may release the data they collect after the data has gone through the de-identification process.
The de-identification process involves masking, generalizing or deleting both direct and indirect identifiers; the definition of this process is not universal. Information in the public domain, even seemingly anonymized, may thus be re-identified in combination with other pieces of available data and basic computer science techniques. The Protection of Human Subjects ('Common Rule'), a collection of multiple U.S. federal agencies and departments including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, speculate that re-identification is becoming gradually easier because of "big data"—the abundance and constant collection and analysis of information along the evolution of technologies and the advances of algorithms. However, others have claimed that de-identification is a safe and effective data liberation tool and do not view re-identification as a concern.
More and more data are becoming publicly available over the Internet. These data are released after applying some anonymization techniques like removing personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, addresses and social security numbers to ensure the sources' privacy. This assurance of privacy allows the government to legally share limited data sets with third parties without requiring written permission. Such data has proved to be very valuable for researchers, particularly in health care.
The risk of re-identification is significantly reduced with GDPR-compliant pseudonymization which requires that data cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of separately kept "additional information". GDPR compliant pseudonymized data embodies the state of the art in Data Protection by Design and by Default because it requires protection of both direct and indirect identifiers (not just direct). GDPR Data Protection by Design and by Default principles as embodied in pseudonymization require protection of both direct and indirect identifiers so that personal data is not cross-referenceable (or re-identifiable) via the Mosaic Effect without access to "additional information" that is kept separately by the controller. Because access to separately kept "additional information" is required for re-identification, attribution of data to a specific data subject can be limited by the controller to support lawful purposes only.

Existing privacy regulations typically protect information that has been modified, so that the data is deemed anonymized, or de-identified. For financial information, the Feder |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft%20Power%20BI | Microsoft Power BI is an interactive data visualization software product developed by Microsoft with a primary focus on business intelligence. It is part of the Microsoft Power Platform.
Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn various sources of data into static and interactive data visualizations. Data may be input by reading directly from a database, webpage, PDF, or structured files such as spreadsheets, CSV, XML, JSON, XLSX, and SharePoint.
General
Power BI provides cloud-based BI (business intelligence) services, known as "Power BI Services", along with a desktop-based interface, called "Power BI Desktop". It provides data warehouse capabilities including data preparation, data mining, and interactive dashboards.
In March 2016, Microsoft released an additional service called Power BI Embedded on its Azure cloud platform. One main differentiator of the product is the ability to load custom visualizations.
History
This application was originally conceived by Thierry D'Hers and Amir Netz of the SQL Server Reporting Services team at Microsoft. It was originally designed by Ron George in the summer of 2010 and named Project Crescent. Project Crescent was initially available for public download on 11 July 2011, bundled with SQL Server Codename Denali. Later renamed Power BI it was then unveiled by Microsoft in September 2013 as Power BI for Office 365. The first release of Power BI was based on the Microsoft Excel-based add-ins: Power Query, Power Pivot and Power View. With time, Microsoft also added many additional features like question and answers, enterprise-level data connectivity, and security options via Power BI Gateways. Power BI was first released to the general public on 24 July 2015. It has several versions for desktop, web, and mobile app.
On 14 April 2015, Microsoft announced that they had acquired the Canadian company Datazen, to "complement Power BI, our cloud-based business analytics service, rounding out our mobile capabilities for customers who need a mobile BI solution implemented on-premises and optimized for SQL Server."
Most of the 'visuals' in Power BI started life as Datazen visuals.
The software-reviewing company Gartner confirmed Microsoft as leader in the "2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platform" as a result of the capabilities of the Power BI platform. This represented the 12th consecutive year of recognition of Microsoft as leading vendor in the magic quadrant category (beginning three years before the tool was even created).
Key components
Key components of the Power BI ecosystem are as follows:
Power BI Desktop The Windows desktop-based application for PCs, primarily for designing and publishing reports to the service.
Power BI Service The SaaS-based (software as a service) online service. This was formerly known as Power BI for Office 365, now referred to as PowerBI.com, or simply Power BI.

Plot
Mal struggles with her new celebrity life as the girlfriend of King Ben, putting a spell on her hair making it blonde, and uncomfortably maintaining a princess-like personality. She confides her issues in her friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay, but they are content with their new lives in Auradon. Evie scolds Mal for relying on her mother's spell book to solve her issues. Carlos, wishing to ask Jane to the upcoming Cotillion dance, turns to Mal for help. Mal gives him a sweet that will make him speak the truth, but his dog, Dude, eats it, magically speaking the blunt truth in English.
Ben eventually discovers Mal's reliance on magic, and she comes clean about her insecurities, causing a falling-out. Mal returns to the Isle of the Lost, now ruled by her former rival Uma, Ursula's daughter, along with Harry and Gil, the sons of Captain Hook and Gaston. Mal visits hairstylist Dizzy Tremaine, Drizella's daughter, who restores her signature purple hair. Harry learns of Mal's return and informs Uma.
Ben, Evie, Jay, and Carlos learn of Mal's departure and sneak onto the Isle to find her, but Gil recognizes them. Ben confronts Mal, who rejects his feelings for both his sake and Auradon's. Ben leaves dejected, only to be captured by Uma. Mal and Uma arm wrestle for Ben and Fairy Godmother's wand, which Uma wins. Uma then orders Mal and her friends to retrieve the Fairy Godmother's wand in exchange for Ben's safe return. Carlos and Jay return to Auradon Prep, where they create a replica of the wand using a 3D printer. They are caught by Lonnie, Mulan's daughter, who blackmails them into letting her come, having previously been rejected from Jay's sports team based on her gender.
Uma tells Ben of her bitterness that she and the others were not chosen to go to Auradon. Ben takes this into account and invites her to Auradon, but Uma instead plots to make her own way there. Mal's group returns, handing over the fake wand in exchange for Ben, but Uma discovers the forgery. The group flee back to Auradon, but Mal and Ben's relationship is still rocky. The villains' children come to terms that they cannot run from their pasts and agree to be honest with themselves and each other. Carlos confesses to Jane but struggles, while Jay appoints Lonnie as the captain of his team.
Aboard a ship during the Cotillion, Ben stuns everyone by appearing with Uma, who he declares as his true love and announces he will destroy the barrier on the Isle. Jane unveils a stained glass d |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune%20%28company%29 | Neptune Computer Inc., commonly known as Neptune, is a Canadian privately held consumer electronics and wearable technology company, founded in 2013 by Simon Tian in Montreal, Quebec, and currently based in Toronto. The company has raised around $7 million from private investors, and over $2 million from crowdfunding sources like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
Neptune's first product, the Neptune Pine, was first announced in 2013 through a Kickstarter campaign, raising more than $800,000 in 30 days, before releasing in 2014. The company later announced three additional devices, the Suite, Duo, and Hub. None of these later products were released, despite the Suite raising over $10 million in funding alone. In late 2017, Neptune was acquired for an undisclosed amount.
History
Neptune was started by Simon Tian in January 2013. Before even building a prototype or incorporating a company, Tian posted some conceptual drawings of a smartwatch, the Neptune Pine, on a website he built using Weebly, issued a press release announcing the product, and proceeded to receive more than 20,000 orders for the device in a few weeks. Tian then dropped out of school, and traveled to China to meet with contract manufacturers to have the device developed.
Neptune Pine
In November 2013, he launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Pine on Kickstarter. Within 27 hours, the campaign reached its funding goal of $100,000, and ultimately went on to raise more than $800,000 in 30 days.
The device started shipping to backers in August 2014, and eventually became widely available through Best Buy and Amazon. The Pine was featured in The Fate of the Furious, the CBS TV series Extant, and the music video for the Trey Songz song "Smartphones".
The Pine has gotten mixed reviews from the press, generally praising its extensive set of features, while criticizing its large size.
Neptune Suite
In March 2015, Neptune announced the Neptune Suite through an Indiegogo campaign, raising $1.2 million in a month. Christopher Mims of the Wall Street Journal described the Suite as "a literal interpretation of the fact that a smartwatch, smartphone and tablet are all just different size windows on the same set of apps and services." Cliff Kuang of Wired called the Suite "a taste of what computing should be in 2025".
As of 2017, the Suite never shipped to the company's backers, with Tian claiming the funds raised were not sufficient to complete development and production of the product.
In late 2017, Neptune was acquired for an undisclosed amount.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeological%20Survey%20of%20Ireland | The Archaeological Survey of Ireland is a unit of the National Monuments Service, which is currently managed by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The unit maintains a database of all known archaeological monuments and sites in the Republic of Ireland that date from before 1700 with few selected monuments of the post-1700 period. The database has more than 138,800 records related to archaeological monuments.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland was founded first in 1930 by the National Monuments Advisory Council when the National Monuments Act 1930 came into effect. A central archive was established in 1933 under the direction of the Inspector of National Monuments, Harold G. Leask, to collect published materials about all archaeological sites and monuments. After refounding the Archaeological Survey of Ireland in 1963, field surveys began with County Louth in 1965. The compilation of the Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) started in 1982 with per-county lists that were completed in 1992. These lists were later used for the statuary Record of Monuments and Places (RMP) that was established by the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, consisting of brief per-county lists and associated maps.
In 1982, the Commissioners of Public Works decided to publish a series of archaeological inventories, designed to be comprehensive listings of all sites but providing only very brief summaries. The inventories came with the hope to raise awareness for the monuments to defend against the increasing destruction of vulnerable sites. The series started in 1986 with County Louth. Currently, it consists of 21 volumes, covering, at least partially, 16 of the 26 traditional counties of the Republic. In a subsequent phase, a series of much more detailed archaeological surveys was to be published. Currently, only one such volume, covering County Louth, was published by the government in 1989 that was inspired by the previously published archaeological surveys for two Ulster counties: County Down (1966) and County Donegal (1983).
The SMR dataset can be accessed through the Historic Environment Viewer that supports also the data from the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) of the post-1700 heritage. The dataset has been released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence which, however, does not cover third party materials like the maps of the Ordnance Survey Ireland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radek%20Maneuver | The Radek Maneuver is a scale-up-then-scale-down tactic used in the administration of web services, specifically those deployed under a cloud computing paradigm (by a provider e.g. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud or Microsoft Azure).
History
Developed by Olivier "Radek" Dabrowski in the mid-2010s, the Radek Maneuver was originally conceived of in using and maintaining applications running on a PaaS system.
Execution
The Radek Maneuver consists of a series of steps, usually executed via the PaaS or web portal interface.
The tactic should be used when a service is misbehaving or otherwise experiencing errors, and the suspected cause is the underlying cloud layer, rather than the application layer. This includes networking issues and other "bad box" problems.
The steps are as follows:
Identify the application or service which is misbehaving.
Increase the compute resource (number of CPU cores, amount of ram) for the instance on which the application is running. This is also known as scaling up.
Wait for the application to re-deploy and stabilize.
Scale back down to the original instance size.
Principle of action
This scale-up-scale-down method is understood to shift the application to a different physical machine underlying the PaaS service or application virtual machine. While this layer of the cloud computing stack is generally out of the access of an application developer (instead in the hands of the cloud provider), the maneuver allows troubleshooting and dodging errors in that layer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATS%20Messaging | NATS is an open-source messaging system (sometimes called message-oriented middleware). The NATS server is written in the Go programming language. Client libraries to interface with the server are available for dozens of major programming languages. The core design principles of NATS are performance, scalability, and ease of use. The acronym NATS stands for Neural Autonomic Transport System.
Synadia develops and provides support for NATS. NATS was originally developed by Derek Collison as the messaging control plane for Cloud Foundry and was written in Ruby. NATS was later ported to Go.
The source code is released under the Apache 2.0 License. NATS consists of:
The NATS Server - The core Publish-Subscribe Server for NATS.
Client libraries for a variety of programming languages
A connector framework - a pluggable Java based framework to connect NATS and other services. NATS is a CNCF project with Kubernetes and Prometheus (software) integration.
The NATS server is often referred to as either 'Core NATS' or NATS with 'JetStream'.
'Core NATS' is the set of core NATS functionalities and qualities of service.
'JetStream' is the (optionally enabled) built-in persistence layer that adds streaming, queues, at-least-once and exactly-once delivery guarantees, historical data replay, decoupled flow-control and key/value store functionalities to Core NATS. JetStream replaced the old STAN (NATS Streaming) approach.
