https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mivar-based%20approach | The Mivar-based approach is a mathematical tool for designing artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Mivar (Multidimensional Informational Variable Adaptive Reality) was developed by combining production and Petri nets. The Mivar-based approach was developed for semantic analysis and adequate representation of humanitarian epistemological and axiological principles in the process of developing artificial intelligence. The Mivar-based approach incorporates computer science, informatics and discrete mathematics, databases, expert systems, graph theory, matrices and inference systems. The Mivar-based approach involves two technologies:
Information accumulation is a method of creating global evolutionary data-and-rules bases with variable structure. It works on the basis of adaptive, discrete, mivar-oriented information space, unified data and rules representation, based on three main concepts: “object, property, relation”. Information accumulation is designed to store any information with possible evolutionary structure and without limitations concerning the amount of information and forms of its presentation.
Data processing is a method of creating a logical inference system or automated algorithm construction from modules, services or procedures on the basis of a trained mivar network of rules with linear computational complexity. Mivar data processing includes logical inference, computational procedures and services.
Mivar networks allow us to develop cause-effect dependencies (“If-then”) and create an automated, trained, logical reasoning system.
Representatives of Russian association for artificial intelligence (RAAI) – for example, V. I. Gorodecki, doctor of technical science, professor at SPIIRAS and V. N. Vagin, doctor of technical science, professor at MPEI declared that the term is incorrect and suggested that the author should use standard terminology.
History
While working in the Russian Ministry of Defense, O. O. Varlamov started developing the theory of “rapid logical inference” in 1985. He was analyzing Petri nets and productions to construct algorithms. Generally, mivar-based theory represents an attempt to combine entity-relationship models and their problem instance – semantic networks and Petri networks.
The abbreviation MIVAR was introduced as a technical term by O. O. Varlamov, Doctor of Technical Science, professor at Bauman MSTU in 1993 to designate a “semantic unit” in the process of mathematical modeling. The term has been established and used in all of his further works.
The first experimental systems operating according to mivar-based principles were developed in 2000. Applied mivar systems were introduced in 2015.

Mivar is the smallest structural element of discrete information space.

Ngāwhā Geothermal Power Station
Top Energy owns and operates the Ngāwhā Geothermal Power Station on the Ngawha geothermal field. It utilises binary cycle technology manufactured by Ormat Industries and produces 56MW.
The power station opened in 1998 with a generating capacity of about 8 MW. It was the first power station to come into operation via a resource consent applied for and issued under the Resource Management Act 1991. In 2008, the plant was expanded, increasing the capacity to 25 MW and allowing the power station to provide 70% of Northland's electricity.
In 2015, consents were granted for expansion with a further 50 MW of generation in two stages at a nearby site, with work beginning in late 2017. The first stage of the second expansion, generating an additional 32 MW was officially opened in July 2021. The stations now generate all the electricity the Far North needs for 97 per cent of the time, with surplus power sent to the national grid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%20Communications | Kepler Communications Inc. is a private telecommunications company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company's stated mission is to deliver affordable network connectivity across the globe via a growing network of small satellites.
Overview
Kepler Communications is working to build a constellation of small, shoebox-sized satellites based on the CubeSat standard to deliver connectivity to other satellites and ground-based stations, allowing for near real-time exchange of data from IoT devices, large scale data backhaul (store-and-forward) services, and ultimately command and control for other space-based assets.
The company hopes to grow their business around data backhaul services that will serve remote business operators, shippers, research stations, and entities engaged in resource exploration and gathering (mining, oil and gas) in remote locations. Their units are capable of high-bandwidth transfer, allowing them to move data that is too cumbersome for existing real-time satellite communications systems.
Additionally, Kepler is working to establish, using the same platform of satellites, an Internet of Things (IoT) communication system that will ease the problems caused by a global disparity between established communications methods and protocols across regions (no antenna currently exists which can communicate across all existing cellular networks). This solution is designed to be a low-power, low-bandwidth, and low-cost connectivity platforms for IoT devices around the globe.
Kepler's key technology is a high-capacity, high-throughput software-defined radio (SDR) that can provide 200 MHz of bandwidth, allowing for data throughput of 500 megabits/second (Mbps) in communication speed.
All of Kepler's satellites to date have been built by ÅAC Clyde, a company based in Glasgow, Scotland that specializes in CubeSat and SmallSat production.
Kepler Communications was founded in 2015 by four graduate students from the University of Toronto, who previously worked together on various design projects through the University of Toronto Aerospace Team. The startup was incubated at University of Toronto's Entrepreneurship Hatchery, the Creative Destruction Lab, Ryerson University's DMZ, and was part of the Techstars Seattle 2016 cohort. Kepler was able to raise $5M in a seed round financing at Techstars, and in the span of 12 months was able to take KIPP from design to orbit. In 2018, the company successfully completed their Series A financing round, raising a total of $16M USD. The round was led by Costanoa Ventures, with participation by Deutsche Bahn’s (DB) Digital Ventures as a strategic investor.
The company is named in honour of Johannes Kepler, a pioneer in the discovery of the way in which objects in space interact. He is best known for his Laws of Planetary Motion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig%20Gerber%20%28creator%29 | Craig Gerber is an American executive producer and creator of children's television programming, best known for Disney Junior's Sofia the First, which ran from 2012 to 2018, Elena of Avalor, which ran from 2016 to 2020, and Firebuds, which began airing on September 21, 2022. Gerber has been praised for creating shows that deal with blended families, breaking gender stereotypes, difficulty fitting into society, and representation of Latin culture.
Early life
Gerber was raised in outer suburban New York. His mother and father divorced when he was eight years old. His father remarried and had another son, while his mother had a boyfriend who had a daughter of his own. Having a family that was not “together” made Gerber feel uneasy, but after he discovered that these kinds of families were more common than he thought, he was inspired to create Sofia the First. Gerber is of Jewish background.
Education and early career
Gerber graduated from University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. His career began when he entered a school screenwriting showcase, which led to a major Hollywood studio displaying his first screenplay. Gerber has won awards for directing his comedic short “Hang Time”. He also won Best Narrative Short at the Sonoma Valley Film Festival and Best Digital Short at the Sedona Film Festival in 2003. Before branching into children's television, Craig Gerber worked at Pixie Hollow Games and wrote screenplays for Rogue Pictures, Radar Pictures, and Intrepid Films.
Filmmaking credits
Sofia the First - 2012-2018 - creator, writer, lyricist, composer: main title theme, executive producer, and voice actor
The Pirate Fairy - 2014 - story
Elena of Avalor - 2016-2020 - creator, director, writer, lyricist, and executive producer
Firebuds - 2022-present - creator, writer, lyricist, and executive producer
Creation of Sofia the First
Gerber was approached by Nancy Kanter, a writer at Disney Junior, who asked him for an idea for a children's show revolving around a princess during her childhood. He was determined to give a modern spin of the classic fairy-tale element of the pitch. In November 2012, Sofia the First was created.
When Gerber was stuck in traffic in Los Angeles, he looked at his own childhood and was inspired to create a show with a family many children could identify with. Growing up in a Stepfamily, he wanted to emulate how it is normal this type of situation is. In the program, he provides the young princess with a stepsister, stepbrother, and stepdad. Gerber's then three-year-old son, Miles, was also an influence, constantly making believe, sometimes even as a princess, leading Gerber to write a character his son could relate to.
The character Gerber created, Princess Sofia, was designed to be a role model for both boys and girls. Gerber stated in an article, “In a world where many young girls want to dress up as princesses, Sofia could serve as a positive role model, displaying traits and learning lessons t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema-agnostic%20databases | Schema-agnostic databases or vocabulary-independent databases aim at supporting users to be abstracted from the representation of the data, supporting the automatic semantic matching between queries and databases. Schema-agnosticism is the property of a database of mapping a query issued with the user terminology and structure, automatically mapping it to the dataset vocabulary.
The increase in the size and in the semantic heterogeneity of database schemas bring new requirements for users querying and searching structured data. At this scale it can become unfeasible for data consumers to be familiar with the representation of the data in order to query it. At the center of this discussion is the semantic gap between users and databases, which becomes more central as the scale and complexity of the data grows.
Description
The evolution of data environments towards the consumption of data from multiple data sources and the growth in the schema size, complexity, dynamicity and decentralisation (SCoDD) of schemas increases the complexity of contemporary data management. The SCoDD trend emerges as a central data management concern in Big Data scenarios, where users and applications have a demand for more complete data, produced by independent data sources, under different semantic assumptions and contexts of use, which is the typical scenario for Semantic Web Data applications.
The evolution of databases in the direction of heterogeneous data environments strongly impacts the usability, semiotics and semantic assumptions behind existing data accessibility methods such as structured queries, keyword-based search and visual query systems. With schema-less databases containing potentially millions of dynamically changing attributes, it becomes unfeasible for some users to become aware of the 'schema' or vocabulary in order to query the database. At this scale, the effort in understanding the schema in order to build a structured query can become prohibitive.
Schema-agnostic queries
Schema-agnostic queries can be defined as query approaches over structured databases which allow users satisfying complex information needs without the understanding of the representation (schema) of the database. Similarly, Tran et al. defines it as "search approaches, which do not require users to know the schema underlying the data". Approaches such as keyword-based search over databases allow users to query databases without employing structured queries. However, as discussed by Tran et al.: "From these points, users however have to do further navigation and exploration to address complex information needs. Unlike keyword search used on the Web, which focuses on simple needs, the keyword search elaborated here is used to obtain more complex results. Instead of a single set of resources, the goal is to compute complex sets of resources and their relations."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Lateral%20Movement | Network Lateral Movement, or simply Lateral Movement, refers to the techniques that cyber attackers, or threat actors, use to progressively move through a network as they search for the key data and assets that are ultimately the target of their attack campaigns. While development of more sophisticated sequences of attack has helped threat actors develop better strategies and evade detection as compared to the past, similar to planning a heist, cyber defenders have also learned to use lateral movement against attackers in that they use it to detect their location and respond more effectively to an attack.

Cybercrime |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threat%20actor | A threat actor, bad actor or malicious actor is either a person or a group of people that take part in an action that is intended to cause harm to the cyber realm including: computers, devices, systems, or networks. The term is typically used to describe individuals or groups that perform malicious acts against a person or an organization of any type or size. Threat actors engage in cyber related offenses to exploit open vulnerabilities and disrupt operations. Threat actors have different educational backgrounds, skills, and resources. The frequency and classification of cyber attacks changes rapidly. The background of threat actors helps dictate who they target, how they attack, and what information they seek. There are a number of threat actors including: cyber criminals, nation-state actors, ideologues, thrill seekers/trolls, insiders, and competitors. These threat actors all have distinct motivations, techniques, targets, and uses of stolen data. See Advanced persistent threats for a list of identified threat actors.
Background
The development of cyberspace has brought both advantages and disadvantages to society. While cyberspace has helped further technological innovation, it has also brought various forms of cyber crime. Since the dawn of cyberspace, individual, group, and nation-state threat actors have engaged in cyber related offenses to exploit victim vulnerabilities. There are a number of threat actor categories who have different motives and targets.
Financially motivated actors
Cyber criminals have two main objectives. First, they want to take infiltrate a system to access valuable data or items. Second, they want to ensure that they avoid legal consequence after infiltrating a system. Cyber criminal can be broken down into three sub-groups: mass scammers/automated hackers, criminal infrastructure providers, and big game hunters.
Mass scammers and automated hackers include cyber criminals who attacks a system to gain monetary success. These threat actors use tools to infect organization computer systems. They then seek to gain financial compensation for victims to retrieve their data. Criminal infrastructure providers are a group of threat actors that aim to use tools to infect a computer system of an organization. Criminal infrastructure providers then sell the organization's infrastructure to an outside organization so they can exploit the system. Typically, victims of criminal infrastructure providers are unaware that their system has been infected. Big game hunters are another sub-group of cyber criminals that aim to attack one single, but high-value target. Big game hunters spend extra time learning about their target, including system architecture and other technologies used by their target. Victims can be targeted by email, phone attacks or by social engineering skills.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach%20Digital | Bach Digital (German: ), developed by the Bach Archive in Leipzig, is an online database which gives access to information on compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and members of his family. Early manuscripts of such compositions are a major focus of the website, which provides access to high-resolution digitized versions of many of these. Scholarship on manuscripts and versions of compositions is summarized on separate pages, with references to scholarly sources and editions. The database portal has been online since 2010.
History
In 2000, two years after Uwe Wolf had suggested the possibility of supporting the publication of the New Bach Edition (NBE) with digital media, a project named Bach Digital started as an initiative of the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart, but without direct involvement of the then editor of the NBE, the Johann Sebastian Bach Institute in Göttingen. After four years the project remained unconvincing: it lagged behind technically and came to nothing, and its www.bachdigital.org web address went up for sale.
The first steps towards a new project, with the same name, were taken that same year. The aim of making images of autographs and original manuscripts available via the internet was continued from the former project, but aiming in the new project at high-resolution scans, for which the Zoomify application was going to be used. The project would cooperate with the Bach Institute in Göttingen. As that institute was going to cease operations (which eventually happened in 2006), however, the idea arose to merge the institute and the project. With the input of the Göttingen institute, the website was now going to not only display high-resolution digital facsimiles but also offer detailed descriptions of manuscripts and compositions which were drawn from Der Göttinger Bach-Katalog / Die Quellen der Bach-Werke (The Göttingen catalogue / The Sources of Bach's works), developed in Göttingen since 2001. Funding for the project by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft was secured in 2007.
With Uwe Wolf as a leading designer, the development of the website began in 2008, and the database went online in 2010. At the time, around 40% of the 697 manuscripts of Bach's works held in libraries in Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig and Krakau (which account for about 90% of his works) were made available in digital form. The site not only provides accessibility to the distributed documents but also helps their preservation. Several international libraries made their documents available, including libraries in Europe and the U.S. Works from the period of c. 1700 to 1850, in manuscripts, copies and early prints, have been collected and presented in high-resolution digitized form. New research has been added continuously, for example on watermarks and copyists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlsberg%20station | Carlsberg station () is an S-train station in Copenhagen, Denmark, that serves the Carlsberg area of the Vesterbro/Kongens Enghave district. Situated on the Høje Taastrup radial of the S-train network, it opened on 3 July 2016 and replaced Enghave station, which was located 200m east.
History
The station was designed by Gottlieb Paludan Architects and constructed for the Carlsberg Byen development company between 2014 and 2016, before being handed over to Banedanmark and DSB for operation. It serves the new residential and retail developments on the former Carlsberg brewery site, as well as the adjacent University College Capital campus; it is expected to become one of the five busiest S-train stations in Copenhagen, with approximately 24,000 travellers per day. It is located on the site of the brewery's freight depot, Station Høje, which was in operation from 1937 until 1985.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic%20Television%20of%20Nigeria | Catholic Television Nigeria is a Catholic television network based in Abuja, Nigeria. It is intended to be used as a tool of evangelisation to deepen the faith of the Catholic faithful within and outside Nigeria.
Though yet to acquire a standard TV channel, the Catholic Television is expected to provide all the Catholics the opportunity to evangelise in the future, using the electronic media to reach families in their homes.
The Director of the Catholic Television Nigeria is Rev. Fr. Patrick Alumuku.
Background
For decades, the Catholic Church in Nigeria has desired to reach out to its members and the vast, diverse population of over 170 million people in Nigeria, through the Television network, which is an irresistibly attractive and effective medium for evangelization.
To actualize this desire, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja and some dioceses within Nigeria have been producing and airing programmes on Federal, State and Private television stations to their local communities. However, the need for a national coverage of Church activities and evangelization of the population of Nigeria had not been achieved.
The quest and desire to utilize a television broadcast network nationwide, to promote and propagate Catholic programmes and activities, as well as build a better and godly society, received a happy and encouraging boost in 2009. It came through an invitation by the chairman/CEO of a private national television company DAAR Communications Plc, (operators of Africa Independent Television AIT), Chief Raymond Dokpesi to John Cardinal Onaiyekan Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, to use one of DAARSAT channels for evangelization.
As an immediate and short term response to the opportunity offered by DAARSAT, John Cardinal Onaiyekancharged the Communications Department of the Archdiocese to take up the offer and ensure that the Catholic Church had an effective presence on television. This project also received the approval of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN). This informed the establishment of a capital intensive yet highly desirous Communications Ministry through television: THE CATHOLIC TELEVISION OF NIGERIA (CTV).
The project took off with the broadcast of a fifteen-minute devotional programme titled “A Light For The Nation” at 05.45am on January 1, 2010, on Africa Independent Television.
Vision
The Vision of CTV is to create a world in which the love of God and love of neighbour reign supreme, through being the most powerful and effective Catholic media organization in Africa.
Mission
The Mission is to promote evangelization through being the authentic source of information and education on Catholic faith, teachings and values for a godly society. CTV is dedicated to evangelization by communicating with conviction to the Catholic community and the wider society, through the use of Television, Radio and the Internet.

The invention of the ALWAC III-E is attributed to Axel Wenner-Gren, and the name is derived from Axel Leonard Wenner-Gren Automatic Computer, letter E stands for the E-register (index register). The ALWAC III-E contained 132–275 vacuum tubes, 5000–5400 silicon diodes, and cost $60,000–$80,000. Word size was 32 bits + sign + recoverable overflow bit.
Instruction execution times (including average memory access times) were 5.25–5.75 milliseconds for addition and subtraction, and 21.25 ms for multiplication and division.
An ALWAC III-E was installed at the University of British Columbia in March 1957 and remained in service until October 1961. Others were installed at Oregon State University (then College) and Loyola Marymount University (then Loyola University of Los Angeles). An ALWAC III-E was installed by the CIA in September, 1957 in the offices of the Photographic Intelligence Division. Located at Fifth and K streets NW. and given the name Project Automat, the ALWAC was used to analyze pictures taken by U-2 spy planes.

Announced in May 2016, the reality series follows the professional lives of a group of transgender models. The show is executive produced by Whoopi Goldberg. The show features models Laith Ashley, Dominique Jackson, Isis King, Ren Spriggs, and Arisce Wanzer.
"[The models] are struggling with things we can all relate to — trying to make ends meet, fighting to make a name for themselves and navigating the minefields of personal relationships. All of these struggles are amplified by the fact that they are also fighting to break down barriers and taking on the responsibility of representing the transgender community in today's society. It's time to separate caricature from real people, and that’s what we are doing with Strut," said Goldberg. During the season finale Richard H. Lowe, III the International Creative Director for Spiegel (catalog) selects Arisce Wanzer to be featured as the first trans covergirl for an American catalog company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTZD | "PTZD" is the 2nd episode of season 3 of the supernatural drama television series Grimm and the 46th episode overall, which premiered on November 1, 2013, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by series creators Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt, and was directed by Eric Laneuville.
Plot
Opening quote: "It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection."
The zombified Nick (David Giuntoli) locates a family in a house in the woods and goes after them. The family manages to enter the house as Nick slams the door to get inside. He manages to enter and attacks the father while the rest of the family hide.
Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) finally locate Nick in the house. They manage to prevent Nick from harming the family but they are being beaten by Nick so Hank is forced to throw a lamp at him to lure him outside. He and Monroe flee to a barn where they hide on the top of a hayloft and make a hole in the boards to make Nick fall on it. As Renard (Sasha Roiz), Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) arrive, Nick wakes up and slaps Juliette before finally getting injected by the antidote. As they're going to take him out, the father has come to kill him but Renard and Hank manage to send him away.
In Vienna, Adalind (Claire Coffee) has gathered the dead poppies and puts them on Frau Pech's stomach and then stitching it and then a stream appears out of the body. Stefania (Shohreh Aghdashloo) then gives Adalind a jar where a substance is getting contained inside from Frau Pech's stomach. Later, under her instructions, Adalind rubs the substance on her stomach, causing an image of a skull before fading away.
In the station, Renard learns that Eric was killed by a car bomb after arriving in Vienna. He then contacts a man named Meisner (Damien Puckler), who was responsible for the bomb. Upon seeing that two detectives have the surveillance files on the fight in the bar, Renard steals it and keeps it on his desk. In the spice shop, Nick finally wakes up from his zombie condition but can't remember what happened during his period as a zombie. Seeing he attacked the bar, they convince him he wasn't controlling himself and Juliette suggests he goes home to rest.
Hank learns from Wu (Reggie Lee) that one of the men who attacked Nick died in the hospital after the incident. He confides with Renard that as he, Rosalee and Juliette were in the scene, they will be interrogated. They meet with them in the spice shop and agree on devising the same story and details, and decide not to tell Nick about the man killed. While sleeping with Nick, Juliette finds he is getting cold, his skin is turning gray and there's no heartbeat. She is about to call an ambulance when he wakes up, seemingly not realizing what happened.
After questioning Renard, the detectives go to interrogate Rosalee in the spice shop. They then leave to question Juliette in their house, revealing the killing to Ni |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfluxDB | InfluxDB is an open-source time series database (TSDB) developed by the company InfluxData. It is used for storage and retrieval of time series data in fields such as operations monitoring, application metrics, Internet of Things sensor data, and real-time analytics. It also has support for processing data from Graphite.
It is written in the Rust programming language.
History
Y Combinator-backed company Errplane began developing InfluxDB as an open-source project in late 2013 for performance monitoring and alerting. Errplane raised an $8.1M Series A financing led by Mayfield Fund and Trinity Ventures in November 2014. In late 2015, Errplane officially changed its name to InfluxData Inc. InfluxData raised Series B round of funding of $16 million in September 2016. In February 2018, InfluxData closed a $35 million Series C round of funding led by Sapphire Ventures.
Another round of $60 million was disclosed in 2019.
Technical overview
InfluxDB provides an SQL-like language with built-in time-centric functions for querying a data structure composed of measurements, series, and points. Each point consists of several key-value pairs called the fieldset and a timestamp. When grouped together by a set of key-value pairs called the tagset, these define a series. Finally, series are grouped together by a string identifier to form a measurement.
Values can be 64-bit integers, 64-bit floating points, strings, and booleans. Points are indexed by their time and tagset. Retention policies are defined on a measurement and control how data is downsampled and deleted. Continuous Queries run periodically, storing results in a target measurement.
InfluxDB has no external dependencies
Events
InfluxData regularly hosts events related to InfluxDB called InfluxDays. The InfluxDays are technical conventions focused on the evolution of InfluxDB on technical and business points of view. Those events take place once a year in three locations: New-York, San Francisco or London. The InfluxDays cover a wide variety of different subjects: software engineering and coding talks as well as business-focused and practical workshops. Companies can showcase how they use InfluxDB.
Line protocol
InfluxDB accepts data via HTTP, TCP, and UDP. It defines a line protocol backwards compatible with Graphite and takes the form:
measurement(,tag_key=tag_val)* field_key=field_val(,field_key_n=field_value_n)* (nanoseconds-timestamp)?
Licensing
Contributors to InfluxDB need to give InfluxData Inc. the right to license the contributions and the rest of the software in any way, including under a closed-source license. The Contributor License Agreement claims not to be a copyright transfer agreement.
Closed source clustering components
In May 2016, InfluxData announced that the computer cluster component of InfluxDB would be sold as closed-source software in order to create a sustainable source of funding for the project's development. Community reaction was mixed, with some feeling |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift%20Green%20Line | The Swift Green Line is a bus rapid transit route in Snohomish County, Washington, United States, part of the Swift network operated by Community Transit. It was opened in 2019 and travels along Airport Way and State Route 527, connecting 32 stations in the cities of Everett, Mill Creek, and Bothell. Its termini are at Seaway Transit Center, adjacent to the Boeing factory, and Canyon Park Park and Ride on Interstate 405; the Green Line also intersects the Blue Line in Everett and also serves Paine Field.
The Green Line was proposed in 2013 and began construction in July 2017. It cost $73 million to construct and opened on March 24, 2019.
History
Community Transit announced plans for a second Swift line in November 2013, tentatively named "Swift II", that would serve a corridor between the Boeing Everett Factory and Mill Creek. The line was created out of two Transit Emphasis Corridors on Airport Road and State Route 527. A study was partially funded by the state legislature in 2012 and was prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff, determining that the project would cost $42–48 million to construct and attract 3,300 riders when it opened.
The Federal Transit Administration approved project development in December 2014, a prerequisite to federal grants for capital construction and vehicle acquisition. During the 2015 session of the Washington State Legislature, Community Transit was granted the authority to increase sales taxes to fund operation of Swift II, pending voter approval via a ballot measure; the Washington State Department of Transportation also gave $6.8 million in funding to build the line's northern terminus at Seaway Transit Center. The ballot measure was approved by voters in November 2015, allowing for construction to begin sooner.
In August 2016, Community Transit announced that the Swift II project would be known as the "Green Line", while the first line would become the "Blue Line", and that the line would open in 2019. The $73 million cost of the Swift Green Line project was mostly covered by federal subsidies, including $43 million from a Federal Transit Administration "Small Starts" grant awarded in 2018. An additional $6.8 million grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation was used to build the line's northern terminus at Seaway Transit Center.
Construction on the Seaway Transit Center began in May 2017 and was scheduled to be finished by mid-2018. Construction on the rest of the stations and the 128th Street overpass began in November 2017. The queue jump and bus lane on the west side of the 128th Street interchange was opened in January 2018. Service began on March 24, 2019, a few weeks after the start of passenger flights to Paine Field.
An extension into downtown Bothell and the University of Washington, Bothell campus is planned to open in 2027 or 2028 following the completion of new lanes on Bothell Way.
Stations
The Green Line serves 34 stations, grouped into 18 pairs with two terminals, in the ci |

The episode was written by Rob Wright, and was directed by Karen Gaviola.
Plot
Opening quote: "'Tis Death's Park, where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet."
Nick's (David Giuntoli) strength has been increasing after his zombification. On a date with Rosalee (Bree Turner), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) proposes that she move in with him, to which she accepts. They also run into Sam (George Mount), an old friend of Monroe and his wife Kimber (Ashley Whittaker). That night, a Blutbad runs in the woods and climbs onto a tree where his stomach is bloating and then explodes.
While Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the death, Renard (Sasha Roiz) receives a call from Sebastien (Christian Lagadec), his spy. He tells him that the police couldn't find anything on Eric's desk but he found a note that may lead to Frau Pech's location but finds Adalind (Claire Coffee) there. The next day, another victim is found in a tree with the same characteristics. Investigating the dead woman's car, Nick and Hank find that she and the Blutbad went to the same restaurant, Raven & Rose, before dying. They visit the restaurant to find the chef boss, Graydon Ostler (Dan Bakkedahl) yelling at his employees, all of them are Bauerschwein.
Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) suggests to Nick that the victims could have died of gastric dilatation volvulus and Nick deduces that as the chefs were Bauerschwein and the victims were Blutbaden, these killings may be because of their old feud. Nick is finally moving out of Monroe's house and Monroe, Rosalee, Juliette, Hank and Bud (Danny Bruno) throw a party to celebrate. However, during the celebration, Monroe gets a call from Kimber, who states that Sam may have gone missing. Nick discovers that Sam is a Blutbad and also ate at Raven & Rose.
Rosalee finds that the disease is the result of the Völlige Verzweiflung, a disease that causes their victims to burst their insides out. If the food is eaten raw, nothing will happen; but if the food is cooked, it is a toxin to the Blutbaden. Sam is found by Nick, Hank and Monroe and his stomach explodes, killing him. Deducing Ostler is responsible, Monroe goes to kill him. Nick manages to get Ostler to confess when Monroe and a pack of Blutbaden arrive at the restaurant to kill him. Ostler signs a written confession in the precinct and Renard looks at it and says, "This little piggy went to jail."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia%20%28operating%20system%29 | Fuchsia is an open-source capability-based operating system developed by Google. In contrast to Google's Linux-based operating systems such as ChromeOS and Android, Fuchsia is based on a custom kernel named Zircon. It publicly debuted as a self-hosted git repository in August 2016 without any official corporate announcement. After years of development, its official product launch was in 2021 on the first-generation Google Nest Hub, replacing its original Linux-based Cast OS.
Etymology
Fuchsia is named for the color fuchsia, which is a combination of pink and purple. The name is a reference to two operating systems projects within Apple which influenced team members of the Fuchsia project: Taligent (code named "Pink") and iOS (code named "Purple"). The color-based naming scheme derives from the colors of index cards which Apple employees used to organize their ideas.
The name of the color fuchsia is derived from the Fuchsia plant species, which is derived from the name of botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
History
In August 2016, media outlets reported on a mysterious source code repository published on GitHub, revealing that Google was developing a new operating system named Fuchsia. No official announcement was made, but inspection of the code suggested its capability to run on various devices, including "dash infotainment" systems for cars, embedded devices like traffic lights, digital watches, smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Its architecture differs entirely from the Linux-based Android and ChromeOS due in part to its unique Zircon kernel, formerly named Magenta.
In May 2017, Ars Technica wrote about Fuchsia's new user interface, an upgrade from its command-line interface at its first reveal in August. A developer wrote that Fuchsia "isn't a toy thing, it's not a 20% Project, it's not a dumping ground of a dead thing that we don't care about anymore". Though users could test Fuchsia, nothing "works", because "it's all a bunch of placeholder interfaces that don't do anything". They found multiple similarities between Fuchsia's interface and Android, including a Recent Apps screen, a Settings menu, and a split-screen view for viewing multiple apps at once. Multiple media outlets wrote about the project's seemingly close ties to Android, with some speculating that Fuchsia might be an effort to "re-do" or replace Android in a way that fixes its problems.
In January 2018, Google published a guide on how to run Fuchsia on Pixelbooks. This was implemented successfully by Ars Technica, where experts were impressed with the progress, noting that things were then working, and were especially pleased by the hardware support and multiple mouse pointers.
A Fuchsia device was added to the Android ecosystem in January 2019 via the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Google talked about Fuchsia at Google I/O 2019. Hiroshi Lockheimer, Senior Vice President of Chrome and Android, described it as one of Google’s experiments around new operating system concepts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse%20bungee | A mouse bungee is a device that secures the wire of a computer mouse, preventing the cable from tangling and providing full freedom of movement. It can be made out of plastic, metal, and silicon fabricated tools. In 1994 they were mostly used in offices, but their popularity rose within the gaming industry, and they are mostly marketed to esports players.
Functionality
The mouse bungee consists of a wide, stable base plate with non-slip bottom and a crane-like, oblique, sprung clamp for the cable, which rises about 10 cm high. In plastic frames a stabilisation weight is incorporated, which ensures the necessary weight. Ideally, it is in front of the Mouse and the cable length is manually set so that the entire mouse pad can be easily reached with the mouse, but does not create unnecessary loops in the cable. The back of the cable remains still on the table without causing an annoyance. Some of the models also feature a USB hub, which asks for adding an additional input cable from the computer, but offers several output options, like USB 2.0 and USB 3.0.
History
Although DIY cord holders were popular since the introduction of corded computer mice, the first dedicated product came from the company Mouse Bungee, represented by the CEO Ed Larkin. Back in 1994, he introduced a simple solution which offered a mouse cord holder and a mouse pad. Since the idea didn't flourish within the business world, the company sold the project to Razer Inc back in 2010. Later that year Razer introduced a revised version without a mouse pad, and the product ended up as the current market leader within the field of Gaming Mouse Bungees. At that point the trend was created and other companies started following it. Soon enough all the major manufacturers of computer peripherals joined the market with their solution, and today there are over 20 different products on the market.

The episode was written by Sean Calder, and was directed by Steven DePaul.
Plot
Opening quote: "More and more she grew to love human beings and wished that she could leave the sea and live among them."
A group of teenagers, Jake Barnes (Michael Welch), Dan (Pritesh Shah), and Sarah (Sara Fletcher) and Anna Mahario (Lauren Luiz) are relaxing on a river. Sarah then finds that her sister, Elly (Stephanie Nogueras), who is in love with Jake, is spying on them and sends her off. Then, Dan is dragged in the river by a mysterious creature while Jake tries to help him. Elly manages to save Jake with a Wesen form but Dan drowns.
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are notified by the sheriff that Dan's body was found and had claw marks, deducing he was dragged. While inspecting the zone where the murder happened, Nick finds Elly and chases her but she jumps in the sea and swims quickly. Renard (Sasha Roiz) is told by Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) that Adalind (Claire Coffee) was dealing with Frau Pech about the baby, which may have royal blood.
Nick and Hank go with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), who just moved on the house. Rosalee thinks that the Wesen may be a Naiad, a mermaid-like Wesen. Tracking a signal from Jake's phone to a marina, Nick, Hank, Wu (Reggie Lee) and cops arrive at a boat owned by Abel (Brian McNamara), and find the phone in the house. Elly hides in the water as Sarah and Anna arrive, pretending that nothing happened. They arrest Sarah and Anna and after they leave, Abel confronts the neighbors Dominic (Derek Ray) and Jesse (Coltron James) as they are the real culprits. Dominic and Jesse decide to "cut" Elly and leave.
Unwilling to let his daughters go to jail, Abel confesses the murder of Dan. Although they know he's innocent, Nick and Hank use the confession to make Sarah and Anna reveal that Dominic and Jesse are the killers, as their old tradition would require them to take care of their children. Meanwhile, Jake returns to his apartment to find Elly, recognizing her as the woman who saved him. She then takes him to a pool and shows her swimming abilities to find and even when she's different, Jake is surprised. Just then, Dominic and Jesse knock him out and kidnap Elly.
Dominic and Jesse take Elly to the docks where they tie her to an anchor and throw her to the water. The cops arrive and using his PTZD abilities, Nick swims to the sea to rescue Elly while Hank holds off Dominic and Jesse. After saving Elly, Hank remarks to Nick that he spend a long time in the sea as his skin is pale. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) checks an e-mail sent to Nick from a known "M". In the station, Jake identifies Dominic and tells Nick and Hank that Elly is not human and that sounds crazy. They tell him everything is crazy in Po |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic%20model | A traffic model is a mathematical model of real-world traffic, usually, but not restricted to, road traffic. Traffic modeling draws heavily on theoretical foundations like network theory and certain theories from physics like the kinematic wave model. The interesting quantity being modeled and measured is the traffic flow, i.e. the throughput of mobile units (e.g. vehicles) per time and transportation medium capacity (e.g. road or lane width). Models can teach researchers and engineers how to ensure an optimal flow with a minimum number of traffic jams.
Traffic models often are the basis of a traffic simulation.
Types
Microscopic traffic flow model Traffic flow is assumed to depend on individual mobile units, i.e. cars, which are explicitly modeled
Macroscopic traffic flow model Only the mass action or the statistical properties of a large number of units is analyzed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ixi%20lang | Ixi lang is a programming language for live coding musical expression. It is taught at diverse levels of musical education and used in Algorave performances. Like many other live coding languages, such TidalCycles, ixi lang is a domain-specific language that embraces simplicity and constraints in design.
In 2015, ixi lang was presented at the Loop summit, organised by the music software manufacturer Ableton, where it gained critical acclaim as an alternative way of making music in the studio as well as in live performance. Mark Smith, of techno-duo Garland writes about the language: "By entering the name of a sound, drawing your own bars and typing notes with numbers, you can make simple beats and melodies almost immediately. If you memorise a few different command lines a broad range of modulations and structural changes becomes possible. Whatever simple information you entered beforehand becomes hugely pliable – and you can do all this to your own uploaded bank of samples. Given that just about anyone can get up and running with a few minutes, those who are willing to put their time into live coding software like ixi lang can reach highly intuitive and fluid levels of improvised composition".
Ixi lang is used internationally, for example by members of the Quase-Linema Lab collective in Brazil, Belisha Beacon, Section 9 and Deerful in the UK, or by the Paris-based Sougata Bhattacharya. Ixi Lang is referenced in various live coding literature and has influenced other live coding systems such as Gibber, EarSketch, WulfCode and Sonic Pi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Device%20Interface | Network Device Interface (NDI) is a software specification developed by the technology company NewTek that enables high-definition video to be delivered, received, and communicated over a computer network in a low-latency, high-quality manner. The specification is royalty-free and allows for frame accurate switching, making it suitable for use in live production environments.
Technology
NDI is designed to run over gigabit Ethernet with the NDI codec. It is expected to deliver 1080i HD video at VBR data rates typically around 100 Mbit/s.
By default, NDI uses the mDNS (Bonjour / Zeroconf) discovery mechanism to advertise sources on a local area network, such that NDI receiving devices can automatically discover and offer those sources. It also supports 2 other discovery modes (NDI Access, NDI Discovery Server) that allow for operations across subnets and without mDNS. Sources are created using an arbitrarily selected TCP port from a range of ports on the NDI send host. When a source is requested, a TCP connection is established on the appropriate port with the NDI receiver connecting to the NDI sender. NDI 3.x has options to use UDP multicast or unicast with forward error correction (FEC) instead of TCP, and can load balance streams across multiple network interface controllers (NICs) without using link aggregation. The release of NDI version 4.0 introduces the 'Multi-TCP' transport.
NDI carries video, multichannel uncompressed audio and metadata. Metadata messages can be sent in both directions allowing the sender and receiver to message one another over the connection with arbitrary metadata in XML form. This directional metadata system allows for functionality such as active tally information fed back to sources to understand that they are on-air (program / preview). NDI also allows senders to determine the number of connected receivers, so they can skip unnecessary processing and network bandwidth utilisation when there are no NDI receiver clients connected. NDI Receivers can opt to connect to various combinations of streams, to support things like audio-only or metadata-only connections where video is not required.
The NDI software development kit (SDK) is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS, and has also been ported to iOS, tvOS, Android, Raspberry Pi, and FPGA. The Standard NDI SDK is available via a royalty-free proprietary license. The NDI Advanced SDK offers OEMs direct access to and from compressed data and other features, with a commercial license.
Comparison of common IP video protocols
Other IP video protocols for use in professional video production (rather than IP video used for distribution to end users) include SMPTE 2022, SMPTE 2110, ASPEN (largely superseded by SMPTE 2110) and Sony NMI. There are clear differences in the technology used by these protocols.
History
NDI was publicly revealed by NewTek on 8 September 2015 and was demonstrated at the IBC broadcast exhibition in Amsterdam that week. The first device shown |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Rosencrans | Robert Morris "Bob" Rosencrans (March 26, 1927 – August 3, 2016) was a cable television industry pioneer who helped create C-SPAN, an American public affairs television network. In addition, he helped launch the television networks BET and MSG, a predecessor of the USA Network.
Early life and education
Rosencrans was born on March 26, 1927, in New York City. His parents were Alvin, an Austrian immigrant who imported ornaments for women's hats, and Eva Greene, a Russian immigrant who was a fashion designer for Alvin's sister, Nettie Rosenstein. Rosencrans was raised in Woodmere, New York.
He had plans to attend Dartmouth College until his older brother died in combat during World War II. Rosencrans enlisted and served in the United States Army Air Forces, then earned bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from Columbia University in 1949.
Career
After several jobs in retailing, Rosencrans joined Box Office Television (BOT), which produced programming for hotels and wanted to offer closed-circuit programming, such as sports games and live theater, to movie theaters. Rosencrans conceived the idea of a cable system after BOT purchased TelePrompTer in 1956 with the goal of expanding its closed-circuit programming. In 1961, he and other investors began acquiring cable systems in smaller towns. In 1975, Rosencrans' Columbia Cable Systems (which later became UA-Columbia Cablevision) invested nearly $100,000 to become the first cable operator to install a satellite receiving station. The company did so in order to broadcast "Thrilla in Manila", the third and final boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, to its subscribers in Florida.
Rosencrans is credited for persuading Madison Square Garden to launch the television network MSG. He and Kay Koplovitz helped create this as a sports channel, which later expanded its programming to become USA Network, the first basic cable channel distributed via satellite. Rosencrans offered Robert L. Johnson air time on Friday evenings, which led to the creation of BET, a basic cable and satellite television channel targeting African American audiences.
He was an early financial backer and founding board chair of C-SPAN, an American public affairs television network. In 1977, while serving as president of UA-Columbia, Rosencrans and his partner Ken Gunter contributed $25,000 and convinced other industry leaders to contribute an additional $450,000 to launch the network. C-SPAN began broadcasting on March 19, 1979, with additional funding from UA-Columbia and several other cable television companies. Rosencrans served on the C-SPAN board for nearly 40 years and was designated its chairman emeritus until his death.
Rosencrans' role at UA-Columbia was eliminated when the company split in 1984. He started the cable multiple system operator Columbia International, which sold in 1995 for an estimated $600 million.
In 2000, Rosencrans was inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame, which recognizes "ground- |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kymppitonni | Kymppitonni (colloquialism for "kymmenentuhatta" = "ten-thousand") is a Finnish television and radio game show format, created by Spede Pasanen which has been featured on Finnish networks since 1985. The show was hosted by beauty queen Riitta Väisänen during its first three runs and by Cristal Snow in its current iteration. Pasanen developed the programme specifically in order to promote Väisänen. Väisänen achieved five consecutive Telvis Awards for Best Female Performer, for her appearances on the show between 1986 and 1990.
The TV format is a panel-style program: five Finnish celebrities appear in sound-proof booths and try to guess a word based on a clue from one contestant. The clue giver and the correct guessers are awarded points. The sum of the awarded points decreases the more correct guesses there are. If all or none of the contestants guess the word, the clue giver receives negative points.
The points were supposedly converted into prize money, first in Finnish Marks and, after 2001, in euros - with the highest prize for one guessed word being 1000 marks (later €200). However, in reality the contestants only received a standard performance fee, with a bonus fee for the over-all winner.
The show even had a charity round, during which the contestants donated their prize money to a children hospital.
Broadcast history
Kymppitonni originally achieved fame on Kolmoskanava and later on MTV3 where it attained huge success (including a Venla Award for best "puheohjelma" = "talk show" in 1986). MTV3 planned to cancel the show soon after Spede Pasanen's death in 2001, but this was prevented by public outcry. The show was eventually cancelled in 2005, after a run of 1093 episodes.
The programme was relaunched in 2009 on SuomiTV and cancelled again in 2011. The official reason given by SuomiTV was that they wanted to attract a younger audience. On SuomiTV, the programme peaked at 10,000 viewers, with an average 7000 viewers on reruns.
Kymppitonni was featured on Radio Suomipop from 2012 onward, as a simultaneous radio show and internet video stream. The show was cancelled in 2016 after Väisänen was let go from the network.
Starting in 2018, the Finnish division of the FOX network began airing a new version hosted by Finnish drag queen Cristal Snow.
Other variants
Junnutonni – A variant shown in 1991 with child contestants with smaller victory sums handed out.
Jokamiehen Kymppitonni – Another variant seen in 1991, with contestants being non-celebrities.
Nettikymppitonni – Shown between 2000 and 2001. Aside a celebrity panel, one contestant was picked through the internet for the programme.

In 1857 Young arrived in the colony of Victoria from Ireland. He moved to Ballarat, where he worked in a variety of occupations, including keeping a store with his brother. In 1861 he joined a gold rush to Otago, New Zealand, returning to Ballarat in 1862. Young ran the White Hart Hotel in Sturt Street and became very active in local affairs. He assisted other Irishmen in the foundation of the Ballarat Hibernian Benefit Society and later worked to achieve the amalgamation of that society with the Australian Catholic Benefit Society to form the Hibernian Australian Catholic Benefit Society. He was elected as its first president.
The Society supported St Patrick's Day parades. In 1953 sixty of its branches marched in the Melbourne parade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El%20Cucuy | "El Cucuy" is the 5th episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 3 and the 49th overall, which premiered on November 29, 2013, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by Michael Golamco, and was directed by John Behring.
Plot
Opening quote: "Duérmete niño, duérmete ya... Que viene el Coco y te comerá." ("Sleep child, sleep now... Or else the Bogeyman will come and eat you.")
Two weeks ago, a man named Andres Venegas (Garrett Hammond) is attacked in a gas station by two robbers, who severely wound him. In the hospital, his mother watches over him and makes a plea so the robbers don't get away and get punished for their actions. In a motel, a clawed creature watches the news reporting the attack and scratches the chair it’s sitting on.
Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has found out about the known "M" in Nick's (David Giuntoli) email and confronts him about it. He tells her it's his mother and then explains everything about her and although the email shows that she's in trouble, he can't do anything to help her. Juliette later tracks the call to Višnja Gora, Slovenia. In Vienna, Sebastien (Christian Lagadec) spies on Adalind (Claire Coffee) getting an ultrasound and sends Meisner (Damien Puckler) to get her medical records in secret and then sends the images to Renard (Sasha Roiz), shocking him.
The same robbers attack a store and when trying to escape in a car, are killed by the clawed creature. Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) find that they robbed a store so they head there where a man named David Florez (Manny Montana) yells at them for not doing their job. The neighbourhood heard the attack but calls it a dog attack. Upon questioning witnesses, they find a man named Ray Bolton (Matt McTighe) who uses his dogs for fights. It's also revealed that the robbers were in collaboration with Bolton.
Nick and Hank arrive at Bolton's house where he is restrained to let his dogs be taken. When he senses that Nick is a Grimm, Bolton attacks him, forcing Nick to arrest him while Florez again appears to state that it was time he got arrested. In the precinct, the samples reveal that the dogs were not related to the murders. While at dinner with Juliette, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), Nick deduces that Bolton is a Höllentier, as he showed no fear of him.
A woman, Ms. Ramos (Fernanda Stier) is then assaulted in the street by a man but the clawed creature kills the man and leaves. When questioning the woman, she states "El Cucuy" is the one who killed the men. That night, Juliette tells Nick that "El Cucuy" is a Mexican Boogeyman. Nick and Juliette then asks Pilar (Bertila Damas) about it. She explains it's a yellow-eyed creature that hears the cries of a woman but is not clear if it's a Wesen.
New footage reveals that another person left with Ms. Ramos: Ms. Garcia (Gina Gallego), one of the witnesses. Bolton and his gang attack Florez and Florez returns to his house to grab his military uniform and a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kultintern | Kultintern was an international organisation set up to enable the Russian Proletkult organisation to work with an international network of contacts alongside the Comintern. Its goal was to spread "proletarian culture". It was first proposed in an issue of Gorn, publication of Proletkult, during the First Congress of the Communist International, March 1919, but practical steps were only taken during the Second Congress of the Communist International.
Provisional International Bureau
This was set up on 12 August 1920 following the Comintern Congress. The president was Anatoly Lunacharsky and the General Secretary Pavel Lebedev-Polianskii. The Bureau included several international delegates:
Executive Committee
Wilhelm Herzog (Germany)
Jules Humbert-Droz (Switzerland)
Nicola Bombacci (Italy)
William McLaine (Great Britain)
Raymond Lefebvre (France)
Others
Max Barthel (Germany)
John Reed (USA)
Tom Quelch (Great Britain)
Karl Toman (Austria)
War Van Overstraeten (Belgium)
Haavard Langseth (Norway)
Walther Bringolf (Switzerland)
Criticism
Leo Pasvolsky was one of the first people to criticise the formation of Kultintern. First he portrayed the movement as generally exhibiting a heavy monotony with poetry which was both facile and pretentious. However he further claimed that the foundation of Kultintern would reduce the Proletkult movement "not primarily, but exclusively" to a weapon to promote the Bolshevik view of communism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChuChu%20TV | ChuChu TV is a network of Indian YouTube channels that creates edutainment content for children between the ages of 4 and 6. The network is primarily a collection of animated 2D and 3D videos featuring traditional nursery rhymes, in English, Tamil, and other languages, as well as original children's songs in the same languages.
The network operates 12 other channels, including ChuChu TV Tamil, where a significant amount of content is based on Tamil nursery rhymes.
History
ChuChu TV's founder, CEO, and director—Vinoth Chandar—posted the channel's first video on YouTube, basing the main character ChuChu on his then-three-year-old daughter. The video, based on "Chubby Cheeks", received over three hundred thousand views in two weeks. After the video's success, Chandar decided to invest in his channel and convinced his partners Krishnan, Ajith Togo, Subbiramanian, and Suresh to join the team.
Content style
The videos feature a relatively bright art style, with cute characters dancing, singing, playing and playing out what the lyrics describe, under intricate music with Bollywood-esque song structures, including multiple riffs used between verses. The originals, like other edutainment channels, often use, partly or wholly, the melodies of existing nursery rhymes, though there are exceptions. Unlike other edutainment channels, however, the songs often attempt to be "cool" musically, with powerful synth strings, soaring riffs, powerful beats and other elements.
Merchandising
In 2016, ChuChu TV announced a partnership with DreamTheatre for the purpose of licensing and merchandising. Brokered by the latter company, in 2018, ChuChu TV linked a partnership with the Australian media company Moose Toys to make a line of figurines, dolls and plushes, planning to reveal them in the fall of 2019, with apparel, publishing and back-to-school ranges also planned for 2019.
Reception
While the channel has gotten appraisal from parents and a large audience especially in the United States, there has been consistent backlash against the channel, with at least 30 percent dislikes on a average ChuChu TV video. Vinoth Chandar has referred specifically to the "Johny Johny Yes Papa" compilation comments as "very hateful" and claims trolls "just don't understand that [their] content is for toddlers". Parents had also reacted to a video with the lyric, "Shoot the numbers with the gun" and thus the company changed the lyric; Asian parents did not react to the line, since there is less gun violence in Asia.
Awards
ChuChu TV has since been awarded Ten YouTube Silver Play Buttons, for gaining over 100,000 subscribers on its respective channels, six YouTube "Gold Play Buttons", for its channels gaining 1,000,000 subcribers and one Diamond Play Button, for surpassing 10 million subscribers on the main channel. The brand has achieved 'Silver Play Button' for its 9 sub-channels, namely: Surprise, Spanish, Portuguese, Funzone, Storytime, French, Hindi, Tamil and Bangla. Also |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFosSpeed | cFosSpeed is a traffic shaping software often bundled with MSI motherboards for the
Windows operating system. The program attaches itself as a device driver to the Windows
network stack where it performs packet inspection
and layer-7 protocol analysis. It has been noted as causing some issues with network connections, and is difficult to uninstall.
A version of the software is bundled with some Gigabyte_Technology motherboards under the name "Gigabyte Speed" and some ASRock motherboards as "XFast LAN".
Operational summary
The software divides data packets into different traffic classes through filtering rules. It has been noted to cause problems with some users' internet connections.
Data traffic can be classified and prioritized by program name, by layer-7 protocol, by
TCP or UDP port
numbers, by DSCP tags as well as many other criteria.
Outgoing traffic is queued and sent out in order of priority. The program uses TCP flow control to send new data only after older data has been received. Data may also be throttled by lowering the TCP window size. The software contains a packet filter firewall. Users are also able to write their own traffic classifications.
In recent years some driver issues have been found with cFosSpeed but they are easily fixable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stash%20Hotel%20Rewards | Stash Hotel Rewards is an American company that produces a loyalty rewards program for a network of nearly 200 independent hotels in the United States, Panama, and the Caribbean. The membership is free to join, and guests are given 5 points for every dollar spent at hotels in the network. It is the largest points-based loyalty reward program for independent hotels in North America. The company was founded in 2010 and is based in Palo Alto, California.
History
The company was founded in May 2010 in Palo Alto, California by former Expedia executive, Jeff Low (who also serves as the company's CEO). Low had previously been responsible for the creation of Expedia's "Thank You" rewards program. At its outset, Stash had enlisted 65 hotels (including boutiques, spas, and resorts) in 50 cities mostly across the United States. By August, those numbers had increased to 79 hotels in 63 cities including Boston, San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others. In 2011, the network included 150 properties, including one in the United States Virgin Islands.
In early 2014, Stash became the largest loyalty reward program for independent hotels in North America. It also began fostering a larger presence in the Caribbean. In January 2014, a study conducted by researchers from Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Michigan State University showed that hoteliers who had enrolled in the Stash Hotel Rewards program saw an average increase of incremental revenue between $400,000 and $780,000 annually.
In 2015, Stash introduced the Stash Hotel Rewards Visa Card which gives cardholders points for staying at any hotel whether it's in the Stash network or not. By 2016, the company's network included over 160 properties in the United States, Panama, and the Caribbean.
Operation
Stash Hotel Rewards' main product offering is a loyalty reward program for a network of nearly 200 independent hotels in the United States (including Hawaii and Puerto Rico), Canada, Mexico, Panama, and the Caribbean. It is free to sign up for the program, and guests who enroll are awarded 5 points for every dollar spent at in-network hotels. Members earn 3 points per dollar at highly-rated independent hotels that have been designated “Stash Approved” when booked on the Stash website. Those points can then be redeemed for a free stay at any in-network hotel, and there are no blackout or expiration dates. Stash differs from most traditional loyalty programs in that it allows individual properties to set the number of points required to redeem a free night.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stories%20We%20Tell%20Our%20Young | "Stories We Tell Our Young" is the 6th episode of season 3 of the supernatural drama television series Grimm and the 50th episode overall, which premiered on December 6, 2013, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by Michael Duggan, and was directed by Aaron Lipstadt.
Plot
Opening quote: "We don't believe, we only fear."
Renard (Sasha Roiz) tells Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) he will leave for Europe to discuss the family crisis. Meanwhile, a family takes their son, Daniel (Gabriel Suttle) to a church to get an exorcism. During the exorcism, Daniel kills the monsignor, wounds the seminary student and then hides.
During the investigation, Nick and Hank find Daniel in the church and take him to St. Joseph's Hospital for a diagnosis. They talk with Mr. Keary (Tim Griffin), who explains that about a year ago, Daniel began to change mentally and physically. Nick and Hank begin to deduce that Daniel is a Wesen. Renard arrives at Vienna and is picked by Meisner (Damien Puckler), who sets him in a safe house as the Royals may send someone to kill him. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is called by someone who states that he'll send a car so she can go to a house.
The student wakes up and tells Nick and Hank that what he saw wasn't Daniel, it was instead a true demon. Nick and Hank then see Daniel change into the "demon". Upon telling Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner), they deduce that Daniel is a very rare and much feared Grausen. The stories state that through lack of better understanding of the cause, they presumed perhaps some kind of Wesen spirit would invade a child's body, and if said Grausen were left to grow into adulthood they'd invariably become much feared psychopaths wreaking total havoc. So they have to follow Wesen rules and need to report it to the Wesen Council; where the punishment for Daniel would be a sudden disappearance leading to a death sentence. However, if they don't report it, then they too might incur a death sentence for their non-reporting and disloyalty.
De Groot (Nurmi Husa) dispatches Alexander (Spencer Conway) to kill Daniel. While investigating in the books, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) finds that as there were high blood cell count, fever and his stressed immune system, they may be dealing with an infectious disease. They question the parents and discover that during a visit to Jordan, Daniel swam in the Dead Sea and then began experiencing flu-like symptoms. The doctors gave him medication and he was soon fine.
In the safe house, Renard and Meisner are attacked by two men from the Verrat and kill them and escape to the sewers, certain more will come.
Recalling a study made by a colleague, Juliette deduces that perhaps the kid is infected by some kind of rare parasite similar to toxoplasmosis and if so, if they can find a way to kill the protozoa inside Daniel, the illness/behavior will stop and they could save him before more drastic actions are taken against him |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991%20Full%20Members%27%20Cup%20final | The 1991 Full Members' Cup final, also known by its sponsored name, the Zenith Data Systems Cup, was a football match which took place at Wembley Stadium on 7 April 1991. It was contested between Crystal Palace and Everton. The winners were Crystal Palace by the margin of 4–1 after extra time.
Match details
Summary
The contest in front of a crowd where Palace fans outnumbered Everton 2 to 1 was a physical affair which saw Palace players Andy Thorn and Geoff Thomas booked for fouls, Andy Gray substituted after a head collision caused concussion and the Everton defender Martin Keown suffering a broken nose. The pitch itself was uneven, having hosted an American Football match the evening before. The first half was largely uneventful in terms of footballing action, with Gray's 45 yard freekick for Palace in the 38th minute the only incident to come close, striking the crossbar. The second half was more lively, with Geoff Thomas scoring for Palace in the 66th minute with a diving header from a John Salako corner. Everton equalised quickly, with the Polish midfielder Robert Warzycha netting in the 69th minute. Neither side could finish the job in 90 minutes, and the game went to extra time.
Palace took the lead in the 101st minute when Ian Wright latched onto a long kick from goalkeeper Nigel Martyn to score. John Salako quickly made it three for Palace with a header in the 113th minute before Wright followed up quickly with his second and Palace's fourth in the 115th minute. At full-time Everton's goalkeeper Neville Southall refused to receive his medal, remaining on the pitch as his team mates climbed the Wembley steps to collect their runners up awards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShapeJS | ShapeJS is a JavaScript-based programming language for creating 3D printable products and fully interactive creator applications. Hosted by Shapeways, it is a cloud-based system for creating 3D objects and web apps that make 3D printable things.
A series of blog posts by Alan Hudson shows how to code in the language and provides scripts for making many different objects including many jewelry and housewares items.
Previewing
For fast previewing of models, ShapeJS provides a cloud-based web service that turns ShapeJS into images at real time speeds. This allows very thin clients without graphics hardware to visualize the scripts. In addition it protects the underlying code and 3D models of the author by not sending the contents to the user.
Preview is relatively fast and allows interactive modifications while modifying the script.
Underlying Representation
ShapeJS uses a combination of signed distance functions and voxel representations. A voxel is similar to a 2D pixel but it represents a volume element in 3 dimensional space. This avoids some typical accuracy issues with triangle based representations when doing solid modeling. Allowing per-voxel level control enables generation of printable products at printer native resolutions. This representation also makes it easy to use high resolution image data in designs to leverage 2D art in making 3D objects without compromising functional design.
Exportation
Views can be exported in png and jpg format.
3D parts can be exported in X3D (color) and STL (non-color). In addition, an experimental voxel format called SVX can be used to export complete volumes.

The episode was written by Thomas Ian Griffith, and was directed by Terrence O'Hara. The episode aired alongside the next episode, Twelve Days of Krampus.
Plot
Opening quote: "But for the pit confounders, let them go, and find as little mercy as they show!"
Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets with Prince Viktor Chlodwig zu Schellendorf von Konigsburg (Alexis Denisof), Eric's replacement. Viktor wants to find out who killed Eric and also says that he is Renard's (Sasha Roiz) cousin. Adalind tells him about Renard and also about Nick (David Giuntoli), identifying him as a Grimm. Back in Portland, a man named Gregorek (Matthew Willig) breaks into a house and begins to rob it. Someone enters the house and Gregorek kills him using his Wesen form.
When Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the scene, Nick thinks that the creature was a Siegbarste again. Meanwhile, a city worker lowers to a sewer to fix it when he hears sounds from inside and is killed by a creature. In Vienna, Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Meisner (Damien Puckler) meet with Sebastien (Christian Lagadec), who reveals that Viktor will meet with two men, Frenay and Tavitian, the former being the prime suspect of Eric's murder.
Nick and Hank are sent to investigate the murder and while inspecting the sewers, Wu (Reggie Lee) finds the worker's leg. In his backpack, many items from the robbed houses are revealed, linking the murderer to the man killed in the house. The examination also reveals that the marks belong to that of an alligator. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) suggests that the killer is a Gelumcaedus. Along with Rosalee (Bree Turner) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), Nick and Hank find that the Gelumcaedus are ancient creatures who protected the sewers.
Acquiring a map, Nick and Hank find that the sewers connect to all the robberies in the area. They travel to the sewers where they are attacked by a Gelumcaedus. Hank manages to knock him with a rifle and it woges back to his human form, revealed to be Gregorek, who says: "Dēcapitāre". In Vienna, Renard, Meisner and Sebastien arrive at the meeting with Frenay, who is executing a man for betraying them and tells Meisner to kill him. In the station, Nick and Hank try to make Gregorek confess but he refuses. Nick learns from Rosalee that the word "Dēcapitāre" means "he who decapitates" in Latin.
Hank goes home, calling Nick believing that there may have been one or two others involved in the killings, as some took place at the same time as others. Hank is then attacked by another Gelumcaedus and subdued and taken to the sewers. The man, Andre (Ernie Joseph) calls Nick and demands that he releases his brother, Gregorek or he will kill Hank. Nick accepts Andre's terms and releases Gregorek and takes him to the sewers. However, the brothers decide to kill them wit |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla%3A%20Planet%20of%20the%20Monsters | is a 2017 Japanese computer-animated kaiju film directed by Kōbun Shizuno and Hiroyuki Seshita. Produced by Toho Animation and Polygon Pictures, in association with Netflix, it is the 32nd film in the Godzilla franchise, the 30th Godzilla film produced by Toho, the first animated film in the franchise, and the second film in the franchise's Reiwa era.
Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters follows a group of human refugees who attempt to recolonize Earth 20,000 years after the planet was taken over by Godzilla. The film was released theatrically in Japan on November 17, 2017, and was released worldwide on Netflix on January 17, 2018. It was followed by two sequels, Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle and Godzilla: The Planet Eater, both of which were released in 2018.
Setting
In the last summer of the 20th century, giant monsters began plaguing Earth and humanity is driven to near extinction by one monster which eliminated the others: Godzilla. Two alien races with ulterior motives, the religious and the technologically advanced , came to Earth and offered their assistance against Godzilla. After the Bilusaludo's gambit with Mechagodzilla failed before it could be activated, both the aliens and humanity were forced to abandon Earth and emigrate to the exoplanet Tau Ceti e via the spaceship , while a second interstellar ark, the , was sent to Kepler-452b, but disappeared under mysterious circumstances. 20 years later, Aratrum is 11.9 light years from Earth and contains the remaining humans accompanied by Exif and Bilusaludo refugees.
Plot
Captain Haruo Sakaki bears a seething hatred towards Godzilla, which killed his parents during the exodus from Earth. He believes the planet selected for colonization, Tau-e, is uninhabitable and tries to force the ship's committee to rescind the order to send the elderly, including his grandfather, to scout the planet. Haruo is arrested and then witnesses the exploratory shuttle explode while entering the planet's atmosphere. He then anonymously publishes a classified essay on Godzilla's weak points provided by the Exif priest named Metphies. This sways public opinion among the population forcing the central committee into returning to Earth after deciding that they are unlikely to find another habitable world.
The Aratrum arrives in Earth orbit and sends reconnaissance drones to scout the surface which reveal that Godzilla is still alive. Metphies arranges Haruo's bail and he explains to the committee that Godzilla has a vulnerability. It is an electromagnetic pulse-producing organ in its body which generates an asymmetrical permeable shield making it impervious to all damage except for a short period when the organ recycles. Haruo proposes using that window to crack the shield organ and quickly implant an EMP probe into Godzilla to cause an implosion from the resulting energy buildup. He stresses that close quarters combat would be needed for accurately coordinated attacks in order to find the organ and reques |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strachey%20love%20letter%20algorithm | Christopher Strachey wrote a combinatory love letter algorithm for the Manchester Mark 1 computer in 1952. The poems it generated have been seen as the first work of electronic literature and a queer critique of heteronormative expressions of love.
History
Alan Turing's biographer Andrew Hodges dates the creation of the love letter generator, also known as M.U.C., to the summer of 1952, when Strachey was working with Turing, although Gaboury dates its creation to 1953. Hodges writes that while many of their colleagues thought M.U.C. silly, “it greatly amused Alan and Christopher Strachey – whose love lives, as it happened, were rather similar too”. Strachey was known to be gay.
Although this appears to be the first work of computer-generated literature, the structure is similar to the nineteenth-century parlour game Consequences, and the early twentieth-century surrealist game exquisite corpse. The Mad Libs books were conceived around the same time as Strachey wrote the love letter generator.
It was also preceded by John Clark's Latin Verse Machine (1830-1843), the first automated text generator.
Output
In a 1954 paper, Strachey gave one of just a few extant examples of the kinds of love letter the program would generate:Darling Sweetheart,
You are my avid fellow feeling. My affection curiously clings to your passionate wish. My liking yearns for your heart. You are my wistful sympathy: my tender liking.
Yours beautifully
M. U. C.The original program is lost, but was reimplemented by Nick Montfort in 2014. In an article on the love letter generator in the New Yorker the structure of each letter is described thus: "you are my [adjective] [noun]. my [adjective] [noun] [adverb] [verbs] your [adjective] [noun]."
The algorithm
Rather than modeling writing as a creative process, the love letter algorithm represents the writing of love letters as formulaic and without creativity. The algorithm has the following structure:
Print two words taken from a list of salutations
Do the following 5 times:
Choose one of two sentence structures depending on a random value Rand
Fill the sentence structure from lists of adjectives, adverbs, substantives, and verbs.
Print the letter's closing
The lists of words were compiled by Strachey from a Roget's Thesaurus. Although the list of words included several variations on the word love, none of these variations made it into any of the widely circulated letters generated by Strachey's procedure.
Reception
Strachey wrote about his interest in how “a rather simple trick” can produce an illusion that the computer is thinking, and that “these tricks can lead to quite unexpected and interesting results”.
Jacob Gaboury argues that the love letter generator exposes the impersonality of love, showing that "the false veneer lying at the heart of that most deeply human emotion is pure camp: an exultant love of the artificial".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter%201%20%28American%20Horror%20Story%29 | "Chapter 1" is the premiere episode of the sixth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on September 14, 2016, on the cable network FX. The episode was co-written by creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk and directed by Bradley Buecker.
Plot
Shelby and Matt Miller sit in an interview for a documentary called My Roanoke Nightmare. Through a combination of dramatic re-enactment and testimonials, the couple reveals that they fled to North Carolina from Los Angeles after they were assaulted as part of a gang initiation that caused Shelby to miscarry their baby and bought an abandoned colonial farmhouse, outbidding a hostile trio of local farmers. As they begin restoring the house, they experience several disturbing incidents of what they consider to be community hostility.
After Shelby is attacked, Matt installs security cameras around the property and has his sister Lee stay with Shelby. While Matt is away on a business trip, Lee witnesses Shelby drinking and angrily tells her of tempting her out of spite that she is barely holding on to her sobriety and would appreciate it if Shelby did not drink alcohol around her. As their fight, the house is surrounded by knives and torch-wielding intruders.
Lee and Shelby track one of them down into the basement, where they find a television playing a creepy found footage film about a man encountering a creature who has the head of a pig and the body of a man. The power fails and the two women are trapped in the basement.
When the power is restored, the two women find that the mob has strung up wooden dolls and totems across the entire upstairs. Matt returns and Shelby flees into the woods, where she is encircled by the mob that broke into her house and a man with his scalp removed from his head, exposing his brain.
Reception
"Chapter 1" was watched by 5.14 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 2.8 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
The episode received positive reviews, earning an 81% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 16 reviews with an average score of 7.1/10. The consensus reads, "Unlike any AHS installment to date, season six premiere "Chapter 1" manages to surprise still with a unique setup and a new multi-layered look and feel, even if it doesn't get around to revealing much of what's to come." The A.V. Club called the episode "unreliable, but fun". Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review, writing, "When you're the type of show prone to kicking off a season with the introduction of a hairless mole man with a killer dildo, it's possible that the most provocative thing you can do to start a chapter is eschewing mole men, dildos and, in fact, killing altogether for a full week. The American Horror Story franchise has been and done many things, but it's never offered such a false sense of security, so this subdued start may be the scariest promise of all. It's the most curious I've been about future installments |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H/ZKJ | H/ZKJ series and its derivative H/ZKT series naval systems are Chinese combat data /management systems (CDS/CMS) installed on board Chinese surface combatants of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), and they are usually referred as ZKJ and ZKT for short. The designation is an abbreviation of Pinyin: H for Haijun (海军, meaning naval in Chinese), Z for Zhihui (指挥, meaning command in Chinese), and K for Kongzhi (控制, meaning control in Chinese), J for Jian (舰, meaning ship in Chinese) and T for Ting (艇, meaning boat vivid pop in Chinese).
Type 673-I Poseidon-1
The predecessor of all Chinese CDS/CMS is the first CDS in China designated as Type 670-1, which was developed by the 706th Institute under the request of 701st and 713th Institutes, when the latter two were assigned to develop Type 051 destroyer in 1966. Mr. Qin Xue-Chang (秦学昌, born in 1940 in Chongming County) as the general designer, with the CDS designated as Type 670-I shipborne combat information center, and given the name Poseidon-1 (Hai-shen Yi-Hao, 海神1号), with development begun in 1966 and concluded seven years later.
Type 670-I CDS is a centralized system based on specially developed 22-bit, 8K-RAM, MLB minicomputers, which is built on DTL small-scale integrated circuits (IC). The minicomputer is capable of performing two hundred thousand operations per second (ops/sec). The thirty-one centimeter display is fully transistorized and adopts a mixture of analog and digital circuitry. If accepted into service, the system would be designated as ZKJ, short for Zi-dong Kong-zhi Ji-qi (自动控制机器), meaning automatic control machine, because system was intended to automate shipborne weaponry control that was performed manually. However, the political turmoil in China at the time, namely, the Cultural Revolution, had serious hampered the development of the first Chinese CDS. The only prototype built was plagued with reliability problem, and instead of the originally name planned, the system was frequently and candidly referred by the nickname given by the sailors as seasick machine (Yun-chuan-ji, 晕船机) due to its frequent breakdowns, especially in severe sea states. As a result, Type 670-I Poseidon-1 did not enter service after seven years of development. Although Type 670-1 failed to enter production and service, it is nonetheless an important milestone in the development of CDS in China in that it has provided the foundation of CDS framework for similar systems developed later in China.
Type 673-II Poseidon-2/ZKJ-I
In 1970, orders were given to develop a successor of earlier Type 673-I CDS named Poseidon-2, with the same general designer reassigned to the 724th Institute. Type 673-II follows the same design of its predecessor but with a new computer developed by the 709th Institute. The 32K-RAM, 32-bit new computer is designated as Type 911, and based on small-scale TTL IC, it is capable of performing half a million ops/sec. Type 671-II can automatically provide fire solution channels for |

The hundred and forty-seventh episode of the series, it was directed by Melanie Mayron and written by Kateland Brown. The episode received a Nielsen rating of 0.6 and was viewed by 1.16 million viewers, up from the previous episode. It received positive reviews from critics.
The series focuses on a group of five women, collectively known as Liars, who receive anonymous messages in the form of threats from an unknown person, while they struggle to survive a life with danger. In this episode, the city of Rosewood is shocked by Sara Harvey's death, while the Liars must struggle with their own problems. Jason DiLaurentis comes back to Rosewood, and is fearful on Mary Drake's intentions. A new evidence about Mary and Jessica's past at the Radley Sanitarium is discovered, and it changes everything. Meanwhile, Noel Kahn's behaviour starts to worry the Liars. Ezra and Aria decide to elope in Italy, but right before they are about to leave, the FBI contacts Ezra and tells him Nicole might be alive.
Plot
Spencer (Troian Bellisario) presents the girls with necklaces symbolizing their friendship. Upon receiving the bill, Alison (Sasha Pieterse) reads a message that A.D. wrote inside the bill, revealing that A.D. knows that they killed Elliott. Some police officers appear in the Radley, and the girls shock to think that they are there to capture them. However, Emily (Shay Mitchell) discovers then that the cops are there because of Sara Harvey's murder, who was killed in Jenna's hotel room. The girls complain about the false cries of Jenna (Tammin Sursok), stating that she was pretending to like Sara. While Sara's dead body is carried on a stretcher, her hand accidentally escapes the sheet and the girls are scared by the state of her hand.
Later, Emily and her mother, Pam (Nia Peeples), are running and exercising through the city forest and Emily decides to take her to celebrate her birthday in the Radley. Spencer talks to Toby (Keegan Allen), questioning why Jenna returned to Rosewood. In a flashback, Jenna and Toby are in a summerhouse on New Year's Eve, and Jenna says she can not see some things in her mind, such as the face of Toby. He then lets Jenna touch his face in order to make her remember how it is, but Jenna ends up wanting to kiss him, but Toby pulls away and leaves. Back in the present, Toby says to Spencer that Jenna left the summer house the next day. Then, through Toby's communication radio, they discover that someone broke into Toby's house. He then leaves running and Spencer is disconcerted.
In the DiLaurentis house, Mary (Andrea Parker) and Alison discovers that Jason (Drew Van Acker) returned to Rosewood, but Jason soon expels Mary out of the residence, stating that Alison's health is under his care. Following, Alison argues with Jason, and asks h |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor%20Richter | Doctor Richter is a Russian television medical drama that was aired on the Russia-1 network from 2017 to 2019. The series' main character is Dr. Andrei Richter (Alexey Serebryakov), a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the 100th Clinic Hospital in Moscow. The series serves as a direct and authorised remake of House for Russian television, after VGTRK purchased the broadcast rights from NBCUniversal.
Also, in 2010, a Russian TV series titled Doctor Tyrsa, which was loosely modelled on House, was aired on Channel One Russia, but lasted only one season.
Production
The production began in April 2016.
Actor Alexey Serebryakov was cast as the lead role in the series. Shooting began in April, while the first season was released in late 2017.
On a project commissioned by the media holding VGTRK and channel “Russia-1” works produced by Alexander Rodnyansky from “Non-stop production”.
The general director of Russia 1, Anton Zlatopolsky, said that a remake of such a popular series is a serious challenge for the channel. “As a rule, neither the professionalism of the producers, nor famous actors, nor invested funds guarantee absolute success when it comes to local remakes. There is always a couple of secret components that make the show outstanding, and we know how to make them work,” said Zlatopolsky.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile%20retail | Agile retail is a direct-to-consumer retail model that uses big data to try to predict trends, manage efficient production cycles, and faster turnaround on emerging styles. Agile retail applies concepts from Agile and Lean in the retail business, and aims to respond faster to customer needs. This retail model is used by Amazon. The concept turns e-commerce retailers into on-demand platforms that identify stock and deliver desired products directly to the consumer. The main focus of Agile retail is to identify trends that are popular with consumers at a given moment and deliver those products using Agile production concepts.
Experts in the fashion industry argue that Agile retail is the next step for fashion retail, especially with rising online sales. Agile Retail gives more options to customers, usually at a lower price, and delivers the product directly to them. Agile retail is a new form of fast fashion that applies the concepts of “Agile” and “Lean” in the fashion retail business. It is also all about serving customers better by aligning to their changing needs.
History
The Agile ideology can be traced back to the Lean manufacturing principles developed at Toyota in the 1950s. Lean manufacturing focuses on eliminating waste in the manufacturing process. The basic intention is to maximize efficiency during manufacturing with a view to enhance productivity and lower costs. Back then, the Agile retail concept was applied mainly to the manufacturing of hard goods such as automobiles.
In recent years Agile retail, especially in the fashion industry, capitalizes on many of the principles that have made other stalwart tech companies successful in their respective industries.
In a traditional fashion company, a designer creates an entire collection usually based on his or her inspiration. The Germany-based online retailer Lesara has been using the concept of agile retail in the fashion industry.
Processes
Agile retail uses big data to try to estimate what customers want and anticipate demand and quantities.
Agile retail companies are able to respond more quickly to changing circumstances using the data from this process. The aim is to know consumer needs at any given point. The Agile enterprise emphasizes iteration over perfection, the ability to move quickly and to constantly learn and adapt.
Advantages
Using big data to figure out faster what the consumer wants.
Ability to respond to changing needs faster than traditional retail.
Aim to personalize shopper's demands.
Intense use of big data and data analysis.
More efficient supply chain, reducing waste.
Disadvantages
Agile retail relies partially on traditional retailers, especially luxury retailers, in setting trends which are used as inspiration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luay%20Nakhleh | Luay K. Nakhleh (Arabic): لؤي نخله; born May 8, 1974) is a Palestinian-Israeli-American computer scientist and computational biologist who is the William and Stephanie Sick Dean of the George R. Brown School of Engineering, a professor of Computer Science and a professor of BioSciences at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
Biography
Nakhleh was born on May 8, 1974, to a Christian, Palestinian family in Israel. He currently lives with his Japanese wife and two children in Texas, and holds both U.S. and Israeli citizenship.
Nakhleh did his undergraduate studies in the Department of Computer Science at the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, earning a bachelor's degree in 1996. He earned a master's degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University in 1998, and a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, under the supervision of Prof. Tandy Warnow, in 2004. Nakhleh started his academic position at Rice University in July 2004, and became a Full Professor in 2016. He served as the J.S. Abercrombie Professor of Computer Science from July 2018 until December 2020. Nakhleh served as Chair of the Computer Science Department at Rice University from 2017 to 2020.
In addition to his duties as the Dean of Engineering at Rice University, Nakhleh currently teaches courses in discrete mathematics and computational biology. Nakhleh has received high acclaim at Rice University for his skills in teaching, and he is the recipient of many awards in this area.
Research
Nakhleh's research has been focused mainly on computational and statistical approaches to phylogenomics and comparative genomics under
scenarios where the evolutionary history of the genomes is not treelike. His earlier work in this area focused on parsimonious phylogenetic networks: networks that embed a given set of trees with the lowest number of reticulations, assuming all gene tree incongruence is due to reticulate evolution. He and his colleagues also applied similar approaches to language data to elucidate the (reticulate)
evolutionary history of the Indo-European languages. Their paper on perfect phylogenetic networks was included as one of the 20 best papers published in Language, the flagship journal of the Linguistic Society of America, in the 30-year period 1986–2016.
Later, his work started focusing on statistical approaches, in order to account for other evolutionary processes that could be at play in genomic data sets, most notably incomplete lineage sorting. These approaches could be viewed as approximations of the multispecies coalescent with gene flow.
Additionally, Nakhleh has done research on biological networks (modeling and evolution) and, more recently, on computational questions arising in cancer genomics.
Nakhleh and his group have been developing PhyloNet, an open-source software package, implemented in Java, for inference and analysis of (explicit) phylogenetic networks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OurMine | OurMine is a hacker group that is known for hacking popular accounts and websites, such as Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter accounts. The group often causes cybervandalism to advertise their commercial services, which is among the reasons why they are not widely considered to be a "white hat" group.
History
2016
In 2016, OurMine hacked the Twitter accounts of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, Pokémon GO creator John Hanke, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose Pinterest was also hacked. In addition to social media accounts, the group has hacked the website TechCrunch.
In October, BuzzFeed News published an article linking the OurMine group to a Saudi Arabian teenager using the name Ahmad Makki on social media. OurMine denied the allegations, claiming that Makki was only a "fan" of the group. One day after the article's publication, OurMine infiltrated BuzzFeed's website and altered the content of several posts to read "Hacked By OurMine".
Other 2016 hacks include the Twitter accounts of Sony President Shuhei Yoshida; the Wikimedia global account of Jimmy Wales; the Twitter accounts of Netflix and Marvel; the Twitter accounts of Sony Music Global; the Instagram accounts of National Geographic; and the Twitter accounts of National Geographic Photography.
2017
In 2017, OurMine hacked into a Medium website employee account. The account was part of a strategic partnerships team, allowing OurMine to hijack blogs belonging to Fortune and Backchannel.
Twitter accounts hacked in 2017 included that of David Guetta, the New York Times, the WWE, and Game of Thrones (along with some other HBO TV shows, and HBO's own official account). They also hacked the Twitter and Facebook accounts of PlayStation (including a claimed leak of the PlayStation Network databases), FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid (including their YouTube channel); several Facebook accounts of CNN were also hacked.
Some YouTube accounts were hacked by OurMine in 2017 included that of the Omnia Media network, gaining access to numerous channels; and various YouTube channels from the Studio71 network were also hacked.
On August 31, OurMine left a message on the homepage of WikiLeaks. "Hi, it’s OurMine (Security Group), don’t worry we are just testing your…. blablablab, oh wait, this is not a security test! Wikileaks, remember when you challenged us to hack you?" The messages went on to accuse Anonymous of trying to dox them with false information and included an exhortation to spread the #WikileaksHack tag on Twitter. The message was visible when the site was accessed from certain locations. At the time of publication, some visitors to the site were greeted with a message saying that WikiLeaks’ account has been suspended.
In September 2017, OurMine claimed responsibility for hacking Vevo and publishing more than 3TB of their internal documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary%20Alignment%20Map | Binary Alignment Map (BAM) is the comprehensive raw data of genome sequencing; it consists of the lossless, compressed binary representation of the Sequence Alignment Map-files.
BAM is the compressed binary representation of SAM (Sequence Alignment Map), a compact and index-able representation of nucleotide sequence alignments. The goal of indexing is to retrieve alignments that overlap a specific location quickly without having to go through all of them. Before indexing, BAM must be sorted by reference ID and then leftmost coordinate. BAM is in compressed BGZF format.
The structure of BAM files include a header section and an alignment section:
Header—The sample name, sample length, and alignment method are all included in this section. The alignments section contains alignments that are linked to specific information in the header section.
Alignments—The read name, read sequence, read quality, alignment information, and custom tags are all included in this file. The chromosome, start coordinate, alignment quality, and match descriptor string are all included in the read name.
Alignment Section includes the following:
Read Group (RG)
Barcode Tag (BC)
Single-end alignment quality (SM)
Paired-end alignment quality (AS)
Edit distance tag (NM)
Amplicon name tag (XN)
Bam format uses 0-based coordinate system, where as SAM uses 1-based coordinate system. BAM can represent values in the range [−2^31 , 2^32).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certifying%20algorithm | In theoretical computer science, a certifying algorithm is an algorithm that outputs, together with a solution to the problem it solves, a proof that the solution is correct. A certifying algorithm is said to be efficient if the combined runtime of the algorithm and a proof checker is slower by at most a constant factor than the best known non-certifying algorithm for the same problem.
The proof produced by a certifying algorithm should be in some sense simpler than the algorithm itself, for otherwise any algorithm could be considered certifying (with its output verified by running the same algorithm again). Sometimes this is formalized by requiring that a verification of the proof take less time than the original algorithm, while for other problems (in particular those for which the solution can be found in linear time) simplicity of the output proof is considered in a less formal sense. For instance, the validity of the output proof may be more apparent to human users than the correctness of the algorithm, or a checker for the proof may be more amenable to formal verification.
Implementations of certifying algorithms that also include a checker for the proof generated by the algorithm may be considered to be more reliable than non-certifying algorithms. For, whenever the algorithm is run, one of three things happens: it produces a correct output (the desired case), it detects a bug in the algorithm or its implication (undesired, but generally preferable to continuing without detecting the bug), or both the algorithm and the checker are faulty in a way that masks the bug and prevents it from being detected (undesired, but unlikely as it depends on the existence of two independent bugs).
Examples
Many examples of problems with checkable algorithms come from graph theory.
For instance, a classical algorithm for testing whether a graph is bipartite would simply output a Boolean value: true if the graph is bipartite, false otherwise. In contrast, a certifying algorithm might output a 2-coloring of the graph in the case that it is bipartite, or a cycle of odd length if it is not. Any graph is bipartite if and only if it can be 2-colored, and non-bipartite if and only if it contains an odd cycle. Both checking whether a 2-coloring is valid and checking whether a given odd-length sequence of vertices is a cycle may be performed more simply than testing bipartiteness.
Analogously, it is possible to test whether a given directed graph is acyclic by a certifying algorithm that outputs either a topological order or a directed cycle. It is possible to test whether an undirected graph is a chordal graph by a certifying algorithm that outputs either an elimination ordering (an ordering of all vertices such that, for every vertex, the neighbors that are later in the ordering form a clique) or a chordless cycle. And it is possible to test whether a graph is planar by a certifying algorithm that outputs either a planar embedding or a Kuratowski subgraph.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC%20theorem | In theoretical computer science, the PACELC theorem is an extension to the CAP theorem. It states that in case of network partitioning (P) in a distributed computer system, one has to choose between availability (A) and consistency (C) (as per the CAP theorem), but else (E), even when the system is running normally in the absence of partitions, one has to choose between latency (L) and loss of consistency (C).
Overview
PACELC builds on the CAP theorem. Both theorems describe how distributed databases have limitations and tradeoffs regarding consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. PACELC goes further and states that an additional trade-off exists: between latency and loss of consistency, even in absence of partitions, thus providing a more complete portrayal of the potential consistency trade-offs for distributed systems.
A high availability requirement implies that the system must replicate data. As soon as a distributed system replicates data, a trade-off between consistency and latency arises.
The PACELC theorem was first described by Daniel J. Abadi from Yale University in 2010 in a blog post, which he later clarified in a paper in 2012. The purpose of PACELC is to address his thesis that "Ignoring the consistency/latency trade-off of replicated systems is a major oversight [in CAP], as it is present at all times during system operation, whereas CAP is only relevant in the arguably rare case of a network partition." The PACELC theorem was proved formally in 2018 in a SIGACT News article.
Database PACELC ratings
Original database PACELC ratings are from. Subsequent updates contributed by wikipedia community.
The default versions of Amazon's early (internal) Dynamo, Cassandra, Riak, and Cosmos DB are PA/EL systems: if a partition occurs, they give up consistency for availability, and under normal operation they give up consistency for lower latency.
Fully ACID systems such as VoltDB/H-Store, Megastore, MySQL Cluster, and PostgreSQL are PC/EC: they refuse to give up consistency, and will pay the availability and latency costs to achieve it. Bigtable and related systems such as HBase are also PC/EC.
Amazon DynamoDB (launched January 2012) is quite different from the early (Amazon internal) Dynamo which was considered for the PACELC paper. DynamoDB follows a strong leader model, where every write is strictly serialized (and conditional writes carry no penalty) and supports read-after-write consistency. This guarantee does not apply to "Global Tables" across regions. The DynamoDB SDKs use eventually consistent reads by default (improved availability and throughput), but when a consistent read is requested the service will return either a current view to the item or an error.
Couchbase provides a range of consistency and availability options during a partition, and equally a range of latency and consistency options with no partition. Unlike most other databases, Couchbase doesn't have a single API set nor does it scale/replicate |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library%20linked%20data | Library linked data (LLD) is the use of linked data standards by libraries. These standards are usually applied to bibliographic and authority data sets, with the hope of decreasing redundant cataloging work; and increasing visibility of library resources and interoperability with non-library systems.
Use cases
In 2010, Byrne and Goddard have written that the "killer [library linked data] example isn't out there yet," and warned that implementation work will be hampered if clear use cases don't exist.
Many groups have examined this issue, including the W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group, the Bibliographic Framework Initiative, and the LD4L project.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%20Compartida | Red Compartida (English: Shared Network) is the official name of the network that will result from the Mexican Government's 2014-2016 effort to overhaul its telecommunications industry by introducing competition into the marketplace. If successful, the Red Compartida network will be the first fully wholesale mobile network deployed anywhere in the world.
The awarding body is the Mexican ministry of transport and communications, Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT).
Red Compartida is developed by ALTÁN Redes, an emerging private Mexican company owned by the consortium—of the same name—that won the domestic and international public tender process.
Background
América Móvil, the company owned by Carlos Slim, the world's richest person between 2010 and 2013, has long held a monopoly in the telecommunications marketplace in Mexico. In July 2014, it was reported in Forbes magazine that Slim controlled 80% of Mexico's landline market and 70% of the wireless market. According to the Los Angeles Times, Mexican consumers have long been complaining at the “high costs and spotty service” provided by Slim's companies. Over the years, Slim has been accused of engaging in anti-competitive practices – for example, using his control over the telecommunications infrastructure to charge prohibitive connection fees to competitors.
On July 9, 2014, the Mexican Government passed wide-ranging telecommunications reforms, designed to abolish long-distance phone charges, make it easier for customers to switch phone companies, and broaden access to free-to-air television stations. In response, Slim announced that he would reduce his market share substantially, and announced plans to sell off America Movil assets worth up to 7 billion dollars.
Under the new laws, the Mexican telecommunications regulator was required to establish a wholesale-only wireless network — a “carrier’s carrier” that will sell mobile-network capacity to all comers. In 2015, the regulator announced the “Red Compartida” initiative.
On November 17, 2016, Mexico's Ministry of Communications and Transportation announced that the ALTÁN Consortium won the international tender process for Red Compartida. The new wholesale network is expected to begin operations by March 31, 2018, covering 30% of the Mexican population. The network will grow to provide services nationwide using all-IP network and 4G-LTE technology on the 700 MHz spectrum band, reaching 92.2% of the Mexican population. The network concession is for a term of 20 years with an option to extend for another 20 years. On March 30, 2017, ALTÁN Networks was formally established as the operator of Red Compartida thus completing the administrative process in relation to the mandate awarded through the public tender in November 2016, and the signing of the Public-Private Partnership in January 2017.
On March 15, 2018, one year and four months after ALTÁN was granted the project, Red Compartida was authorized to |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous%20Women%27s%20Network | The Indigenous Women's Network (IWN) is a nonprofit organization that provides a platform for Indigenous women in the Western Hemisphere. The organization was founded in 1985. IWN focuses on Native women, their families and communities and attempts to help them have sovereignty over themselves and their environment. IWN has published a journal, Indigenous Women, since 1991. This magazine is the first and currently the only magazine written by and for Native women.
History
Winona LaDuke and Janet McCloud were some of the co-founders of IWN. Nearly 200 Native women activists created the IWN at a gathering hosted by the Northwest Indian Women's Circle in Yelm, Washington, in 1985. LaDuke and McCloud felt that sexism which was present in the Native activist movements of the 1980s. This led to the creation of IWN. IWN also shared members with Women of All Red Nations. Over the past 21 years, IWN has evolved into an international coalition of Indigenous women from rural and urban communities who approach the resolution of contemporary challenges from a traditional Indigenous values base.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm%20Trail%20%28video%20game%29 | Chisholm Trail is a video game released in July 1982 by Texas Instruments for its TI-99/4A home computer. It was written by John C. Plaster, who previously wrote Tombstone City: 21st Century for the TI-99/4A.
Gameplay
Players take the role of a cattle driver on the Chisholm Trail, bringing their cattle to set destinations while defending them against cattle rustlers and wranglers. The game has nine levels. You can choose any of the levels from the start menu and the level selected determines how long you have been on the trail, how many steers you have, how many shots you have, and how many wranglers and rustlers must be eliminated.
Wranglers are in the form of brands and will try to brand the steers for themselves. Mileage counts as the score and Rustlers are worth 250 miles and Wranglers are 150 miles. Every time 10,000 miles is reached another steer is added to the group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth%20Invaders | Tooth Invaders is a video game released by Commodore International for its VIC-20 home computer in 1981 and later for the Commodore 64 in 1982. It was developed in association with Camelot Marketing Group in order to positively reinforce the pros of brushing, flossing, and healthy dental care. Seen as a fun way to teach children the importance of dental care, players fight as "Plaqueman" to fight plaque using a toothbrush and dental floss. It was also made in association with the American Dental Association, released during National Dental Month, and supported by dentists.
Gameplay
Using a toothbrush and dental floss, the player must keep the teeth clean while avoiding contact with the Plaque Germ, known as "D.K". If D.K. comes into contact with the player, this will result in loss of one life. The brush needs tooth paste to work so the player must apply tooth paste. Floss is used for the space between teeth. If the teeth aren't cleaned properly and start to decay a warning bell sounds. Eventually the tooth will disappear, reflecting tooth loss. If a tooth is completely cleaned, a brief musical score will play and the teeth will change colors repeatedly. If the player comes into contact with D.K. at this time, the Plaque Germ will disappear for a time. Losing all lives or having four teeth lost will end the game.
Reception
Ready: A Commodore 64 Retrospective described it as a "simple game", a "standout" of Commodore's first generation of educational software, and a "pioneer in the serious games and games for health fields". However, the book also noted that the game aged relatively quickly due to the rapid improvement in game quality in the following years. Microcomputing considered the game an "excellent" example of how computer software could be used educationally to create behavioural change. Games Village wrote that behind the patently idiotic facade, it instead proves to be a balanced and enjoyable puzzle game.
The game was included in the "Open Wide! Tooth Toys That Made Us Smile" exhibit at the National Museum of Dentistry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic%20Graphics%20Project | The Dynamic Graphics Project (commonly referred to as dgp) is an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the University of Toronto devoted to projects involving Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Human Computer Interaction, and Visualization. The lab began as the computer graphics research group of Computer Science Professor in 1967. Mezei invited Bill Buxton, a pioneer of human–computer interaction to join. In 1972, Ronald Baecker, another HCI pioneer joined dgp, establishing dgp as the first Canadian university group focused on computer graphics and human-computer interaction. According to csrankings.org, for the combined subfields of computer graphics, HCI, and visualization the dgp is the number one research institution in the world.
Since then, dgp has hosted many well known faculty and students in computer graphics, computer vision and HCI (e.g., Alain Fournier, Bill Reeves, Jos Stam, Demetri Terzopoulos, Marilyn Tremaine). dgp also occasionally hosts artists in residence (e.g., Oscar-winner Chris Landreth). Many past and current researchers at Autodesk (and before that Alias Wavefront) graduated after working at dgp. dgp is located in the St. George Campus of University of Toronto in the Bahen Centre for Information Technology. dgp researchers regularly publish at ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGCHI and ICCV.
dgp hosts the Toronto User Experience (TUX) Speaker Series and the Sanders Series Lectures.
