https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian%20AI%20Cup | Russian AI Cup is the annual championship on programming of an artificial intelligence organized by Mail.Ru Group and My.com.
The Russian AI Cup is carried out in the form of a game for descriptive reasons, clearness and simplicity. Briefly, participants create an algorithm that describes a game strategy. The resulting bot is fighting with other similar. The best of them wins the round. Thus, from a series of rounds the tournament which will take place in several stages will be organized.
On the one side, the main mechanics of a game is quite simple that it allows to write really minimum working strategy in a couple of hours. On another side — in game turned out a lot of nuances. To think over to sharpen strategy, rising up standings, it is possible indefinitely. In 2016 the contest is focused on the MOBA game CodeWizards.
2015 contest "CodeRacing"
In the 2015 contest, contestants must make an artificial intelligence to control a car on the squared-tile tracks. The rules are similar to the Rock n' Roll Racing game.
2016 contest "CodeWizards"
In the 2016 contest, contestants must make an artificial intelligence (strategy) to control a wizard in a special game world. The contest rules are based on a popular computer game genre MOBA. In each game players will confront 5 strategies of other players. At the same time, they will have 4 allies. Each five strategies make a faction: Academy or Renegades. The main goal of the faction is to destroy an opposing faction's base. The main personal goal of each wizard is to gain maximal possible number of points. The winner of the game, as well as other places, is determined by the gained score. A player is given points when his wizard deals damage, destroys or is just hanging nearby during death of opposite faction's unit, as well as for some other actions. Each player of a faction is given a significant number of points in case of reaching the main faction goal.
The championship runs from 26 November until 18 December. Winning participants will receive prizes. There is the "Sandbox", which is working between rounds. In the "Sandbox" participants can improve their strategies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian%20Super%20Grid | The Asian Super Grid is a project to establish an electrical power transmission network, or super grid, connecting China, South Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, Russia, and Japan.
It will transmit electrical power from renewable sources from areas of the world that are best able to produce it to consumers in other parts of the world. The idea is dependent on development of an ultra-high voltage grid operating at more than 1,000 kilovolts AC and 800 kilovolts DC over thousands of kilometers. It envisions interconnecting grids across regions, nations, and even continents with a capacity of over 10 gigawatts.
The concept is the result of an idea by Masayoshi Son, founder and head of the telecom and Internet giant SoftBank Group. After the devastation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, Son was so shocked by events that he established the Renewable Energy Institute soon afterwards to help develop and promote renewable energy.
A diverse and widely sourced mix of both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources connected by super grid could reduce the region’s risk of power outages; as experienced after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster, and 2011 South Korea blackouts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne%20Blencowe | Anne Blencowe (née Wallis; 4 June 1656 – 6 April 1718), also known as Anne, Lady Blencowe, was a British compiler of recipes. Her book was first published more than 200 years after her death.
Life
Anne Wallis was born to Susanna Glyde and her husband Professor John Wallis, who taught geometry at Oxford University and was employed as a cryptographer. Anne Wallis is thought to have had a good education. In 1675 she married a barrister, John Blencowe, who had recently inherited Marston Hall and his family's estate at Marston St. Lawrence in Northamptonshire. She became Anne, Lady Blencowe. The couple had seven children and five survived to be adults.
Blencowe took a great interest in the food of her household. She understood about using sugar and vinegar to preserve food and she made her own country wines. She knew how to boil-down meat to make a gluey substance that could be used as an early form of stock cube. She gathered these techniques together in a book of sweet and savoury dishes that included a separate section for medicines. Blencowe shared her recipes and also adopted the village's own recipe for buns.
Her book was published in 1925 and gives an insight into the lives of the upper-class English. The Blencoes had access to morels, truffles, peaches, apricots, barberries and spices.
Blencowe's son William Blencowe had been taught by her father, and he in time took on her father's role as the government's decoder of intercepted messages. William took his own life in 1712.
Blencoe died in 1718 and her husband died eight years later. They were both buried in Marston St. Lawrence.
Legacy
Blencoe's recipes, which she called "Receipts", were kept in the library of her daughter Susanna Jennens at Weston Hall. This house was passed through the female line until it came into the possession of Sacheverell Sitwell, whose wife Georgia discovered the book. She showed it to George Saintsbury, who arranged for it to be published. More than 200 years after Blencoe's death her recipe book was published, in 1925, accompanied by an eight-page introduction by Saintsbury. 600 copies were created. The book was reprinted in 2004 by one of Blencowe's descendants.
A painting of her, thought to date from 1675, is extant and is attributed to a painter from the school of Michael Dahl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great%20American%20Living | Great American Living (formerly Ride TV and GAC Living) is an American cable television network. Owned by Great American Media, it primarily broadcasts programming devoted to the lifestyles of the American South.
Established in 2014, the network was originally focused on equestrianism.
History
The channel originally launched as Ride TV, a high-definition channel focused on the non-racing aspects of equestrian sports, horses, and the associated lifestyle. Ride TV was stated to be targeting both a rural, "Heartland" audience and a wider general audience, with an executive explaining that "horses are universal. Everyone recognizes the beauty and the power of this animal. We try to cater to anyone who gets that feeling when they see a horse running."
On June 8, 2021, it was announced that both Ride TV and Discovery Inc.'s Great American Country would be acquired by GAC Media, an investment group led by Tom Hicks and former Crown Media Holdings CEO Bill Abbott.
In August 2021, GAC Media announced that Great American Country and Ride TV would be relaunched as GAC Family and GAC Living on September 27, with the GAC initials re-backronymed to stand for "Great American Channels". GAC Living will focus on non-scripted lifestyle programming pertaining to the American South (with GAC Family shifting to a family-oriented general entertainment format akin to Hallmark Channel), effectively assuming GAC Family's previous format.
In July 2022, GAC Media announced that GAC Living would be renamed Great American Living on August 20, 2022, as part of their corporate rebranding as Great American Media.
Programming
Its schedule was originally focused on horse sports such as equestrian, rodeo, and bull riding (such as the PBR Velocity Tour), purposefully excluding horse racing, whose niche was already filled by the TVG Networks. The channel has also produced original series, such as Cowgirls (a documentary-style series following women in rodeo) and This Old Horse (a documentary series chronicling notable horses, which was described as the network's equivalent to ESPN's 30 for 30 franchise).
Carriage
In October 2021, Frndly TV reached a carriage agreement for GAC Family and GAC Living.
In November 2021, GAC Media reached a deal with Philo to add GAC Living and GAC Family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro%20Senapathy%20algorithm | The Shapiro Senapathy algorithm (S&S) is an algorithm for predicting splice junctions in genes of animals and plants. This algorithm has been used to discover disease-causing splice site mutations and cryptic splice sites.
The algorithm
A splice site is the border between an exon and intron in a gene. These sites contain a particular sequence motif, which is necessary for recognition and processing by the RNA splicing machinery.
The S&S algorithm uses sliding windows of eight nucleotides, corresponding to the length of the splice site sequence motif, to identify these conserved sequences and thus potential splice sites. Using a weighted table of nucleotide frequencies, the S&S algorithm outputs a consensus-based percentage for the possibility of the window containing a splice site.
The S&S algorithm serves as the basis of other software tools, such as Human Splicing Finder, Splice-site Analyzer Tool, dbass (Ensembl), Alamut, and SROOGLE.
Cancer gene discovery using S&S
By using the S&S algorithm, mutations and genes that cause many different forms of cancer have been discovered. For example, genes causing commonly occurring cancers including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, leukemia, head and neck cancers, prostate cancer, retinoblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, gastrointestinal cancer, melanoma, liver cancer, Lynch syndrome, skin cancer, and neurofibromatosis have been found. In addition, splicing mutations in genes causing less commonly known cancers including gastric cancer, gangliogliomas, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Loeys–Dietz syndrome, Osteochondromas (bone tumor), Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and Pheochromocytomas have been identified.
Specific mutations in different splice sites in various genes causing breast cancer (e.g., BRCA1, PALB2), ovarian cancer (e.g., SLC9A3R1, COL7A1, HSD17B7), colon cancer (e.g., APC, MLH1, DPYD), colorectal cancer (e.g., COL3A1, APC, HLA-A), skin cancer (e.g., COL17A1, XPA, POLH), and Fanconi anemia (e.g., FANC, FANA) have been uncovered. The mutations in the donor and acceptor splice sites in different genes causing a variety of cancers that have been identified by S&S are shown in Table 1.
Discovery of genes causing inherited disorders using S&S
Specific mutations in different splice sites in various genes that cause inherited disorders, including, for example, Type 1 diabetes (e.g., PTPN22, TCF1 (HCF-1A)), hypertension (e.g., LDL, LDLR, LPL), Marfan syndrome (e.g., FBN1, TGFBR2, FBN2), cardiac diseases (e.g., COL1A2, MYBPC3, ACTC1), eye disorders (e.g., EVC, VSX1) have been uncovered. A few example mutations in the donor and acceptor splice sites in different genes causing a variety of inherited disorders identified using S&S are shown in Table 2.
Genes causing immune system disorders
More than 100 immune system disorders affect humans, including inflammatory bowel diseases, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, bloom syndrome, familial cold autoinflammatory syn |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidi%20%282015%20TV%20series%29 | Heidi is a computer animated children's television series, based indirectly on the 1881 novel Heidi by Johanna Spyri. The original 2007 television series was a Swiss-French-Italian-Australian co-production in 27 episodes of 26 minutes.
A "remake" (rather than a re-telling) of Heidi, Girl of the Alps, much of the story is the same; the titular character is a then-five-year-old girl, who's taken to her grandfather on the Swiss Alps by her aunt, Dete to live with him and while the girl ends up improving his life, she also befriends Peter, the goatherd of the village Dorfli below and the one who causes her to find a big passion of hers, goats and other animals in general.
But in this version, there is also a trio, Karl, Theresa, and William, who usually try to do something that would downgrade Peter, whom they often refer to as a mountain goat, in some way or another. But in the first winter up there, a letter is eventually gotten and what results from there will end up changing another's life, as well.
The series has been distributed in 138 countries around the world.
Characters

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global%20Network%20of%20Sex%20Work%20Projects | Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP) is an organisation that advocates for the health and human rights of sex workers. It is a private not-for-profit limited company, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and founded in November 1990. NSWP is a membership organisation, with members from five regions (Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, North America, and the Caribbean). NSWP publishes resources, including briefing papers, policy briefs, community guides, global and regional reports, smart guides, statements, the Research for Sex Work Journal, and case studies. It supports the decriminalisation of sex work.
NSWP advocates for sex worker representation at international policy forums. It "credits itself as largely responsible for "sex work" replacing "prostitution" as the go-to terminology for institutions such as the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO)".
Manifesto
NSWP's website states:
NSWP amplifies the voices of sex worker-led organisations advocating for rights-based services, freedom from abuse and discrimination, freedom from punitive laws, policies, and practices, and self-determination for sex workers. NSWP works primarily with sex worker-led regional networks, and facilitates sex worker-led capacity building.
History
Global Network of Sex Work Projects was founded in November 1990, at the 2nd International Conference for NGOs working on AIDS, and was registered in the UK in 2008.
In 2008, it received $60,000 in grant funding from Open Society Foundations.
In 2009, it was appointed co-chair of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) "Advisory Group on HIV and Sex Work", established to "review and participate in the development of UNAIDS policy, programme or advocacy documents, or statements".
Publications
NSWP consensus statement
In 2013, NSWP released a consensus statement on sex work, human rights, and the law which details eight essential activism goals of sex work-related advocacy groups. They include the right to:
Associate and organise;
Be protected by the law;
Be free from violence;
Be free from discrimination;
Privacy and freedom from arbitrary interference;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Bishop%20and%20the%20Gargoyle | The Bishop and the Gargoyle is a 30-minute old-time radio crime drama in the United States. It was broadcast on the NBC Blue network September 30, 1936 - January 3, 1942. The program was unique in being a radio network prime-time drama with a church leader as its central character.
Format
Episodes of The Bishop and the Gargoyle focused on the combined crime-fighting efforts of a retiring bishop of a church and a convict called the Gargoyle. As a member of the parole board at Sing Sing Prison, the Bishop met and befriended the Gargoyle. In return, the inmate helped the bishop "to track criminals and bring them to justice." Radio historian John Dunning wrote in On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio, "They became friends and, after the Gargoyle's release, formed a crime-fighting duo, with the Bishop supplying the spiritual guidance and the Gargoyle the muscle.
An advertisement for the program in the October 2, 1940, issue of the trade publication Variety described the two characters as follows:There's the Bishop, for example. A retired gentleman of the cloth — cultured, benevolent and infinitely wise; a man whose worldly grasp and shrewd wit are no less strange than his hobby of crime detection! The Gargoyle, on the other hand, is an ex-lawbreaker — "retired" through the Bishop's persuasion. The Gargoyle's untiring loyalty and direct, elemental approach to the facts and conditions of life is a constant source of polite astonishment to the Bishop.
Personnel
Richard Gordon portrayed the bishop; Milton Herman first had the role of the Gargoyle, with Ken Lynch replacing him later. Joseph Bell was the director, and Frank Wilson was the writer.
Adaptation
On November 29, 1941, NBC-Television presented "The Item of the Scarlet Ace" (an episode of The Bishop and the Gargoyle) as an early experiment in TV broadcasting.

It facilitates networking between those it represents, so as to share good practice about providing quality support services for sex workers. It is a charity based in Manchester.
In July 2012 UKNSWP launched the National Ugly Mugs (NUM) scheme, a third party reporting system for sex workers that issues alerts to sex workers via their smartphone, and feeds intelligence to police, aiming to reduce offending by dangerous serial sexual offenders.
It was one of five winners of the Guardian Charity Awards 2014.
Mission statement
UKNSWP's website states:
"The UK Network of Sex Work Projects (UKNSWP) is a non-profit, voluntary association of agencies & individuals working with sex workers.
"To promote the health, safety, civil and human rights of sex workers, including their rights to live free from violence, intimidation, coercion or exploitation, to engage in the work as safely as possible, and to receive high quality health and other services in conditions of trust and confidentiality, without discrimination on the grounds of gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, culture or religion."
The UKNSWP recognises and supports, the rights of individual sex workers to self-determination. This includes the right to remain in sex work or leave sex work."
National Ugly Mugs (NUM)
UKNSWP runs National Ugly Mugs (NUM), a third party reporting system for sex workers that issues alerts to sex workers via their smartphone, and feeds intelligence to police, aiming to reduce offending by dangerous serial sexual offenders.
The National Ugly Mugs (NUM) Pilot Scheme was announced by the UK government in December 2011, with £108,000 provided by the Home Office "to establish a national online network to collate and distribute information between 'Ugly Mugs' schemes in local areas."
Though funded by the Home Office, it is managed independently by UKNSWP. The initial pilot scheme went live in Manchester on 6 July 2012 and by 2016 was undergoing a larger pilot in London.

Biography
Tess Rafferty grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. She attended Emerson College, and as a student performed in Boston comedy clubs. She studied acting and art history and earned her degree in 1997. Following her graduation she moved to Los Angeles, where she began writing for television and performed as a stand-up comedian and storyteller.
In 2012, her culinary memoir, Recipes for Disaster, was released by St. Martin's Press. In a review of the book, Kirkus Reviews wrote: "What distinguishes this author from others is (Rafferty's) insatiable appetite for wine, her indomitable spirit in the face of catastrophe, her resolute desire to please everyone and her offbeat sense of humor."
In November 2016, two days after the presidential election, Rafferty wrote a "hard hitting" statement about the election of Donald Trump. The piece was filmed by director Steve Cohen and edited by Aaron Barrocas. An edited version of Rafferty's performance was shared by Occupy Democrats on November 18; in five days, it received nearly 22 million views.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure%20signature%20creation%20device | A secure signature creation device (SSCD) is a specific type of computer hardware or software that is used in creating an electronic signature. To be put into service as a secure signature creation device, the device must meet the rigorous requirements laid out under Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS), where it is referred to as a qualified (electronic) signature creation device (QSCD). Using secure signature creation devices helps in facilitating online business processes that save time and money with transactions made within the public and private sectors.
Description
The minimum requirements that must be met to elevate an electronic signature creation device to the level of a secure signature creation device are provided in Annex II of eIDAS. Through appropriate procedural and technical means, the device must reasonably assure the confidentiality of the data used to create an electronic signature. It further must ensure that the data used to create an electronic signature is unique and only used once. Lastly it shall only allow a qualified trust service provider or certificate authority to create or manage a signatory’s electronic signature data.
To ensure security, signature creation data used by the SSCD to create an electronic signature must provide reasonable protection through current technology to prevent forgery or duplication of the signature. The creation data must remain under the sole control of its signatory to prevent unauthorized use. The SSCD itself is prohibited from altering the signature’s accompanying data.
When a trust service provider or certificate authority places an SSCD into service, they must securely prepare the device according to Annex II of eIDAS in fully compliance to the following three conditions:
While in use or in storage, the SSCD must remain secure.
Further, a reactivation and deactivation of the SSCD must occur under secure conditions.
Any user activation data, include PIN codes be delivered separately from the SSCD after being prepared securely.
International security assurance requirements for SSCDs
The secure signature creation device must also meet the international standard for computer security certification, referred to as the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (ISO/IEC 15408). This standard gives computer system users the ability to specify security requirements via Protection Profiles (PPs) for security functional requirements (SFRs) and security assurance requirements (SARs). The trust service provider or certificate authority is the required to implement the specified requirements and attest to their product’s security attributes. A third-party testing laboratory then evaluates the device to ensure that the level of security is as claimed by the provider.
Central authentication service
When a secure signature creation device is used as part of a central authentication service (CAS), it may act as a CAS server in multi-tier authentication scenari |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneSpan | OneSpan (formerly Vasco Data Security International, Inc.) is a publicly traded cybersecurity technology company based in Chicago, Illinois, with offices in Montreal, Brussels and Zurich. The company offers a cloud-based and open-architected anti-fraud platform and is historically known for its multi-factor authentication and electronic signature software.
It was founded by T. Kendall Hunt in 1991 and held its initial public offering (IPO) in January 2000. OneSpan is a member of the FIDO Alliance Board.
History
In 1984, T. Kendall Hunt founded Vasco as a consulting and software services company for corporate and governmental agencies. In 1991, the company acquired ThumbScan, which claimed to have the first fingerprint reader device for a computer.
In 1993, the company was renamed Vasco Data Security International and expanded its offerings to include data security. Vasco was incorporated in 1997 and held its initial public offering in January 2000.
Vasco started developing its Digipass technology in the early 2000s. The company marketed the technology internationally in Belgium. In 2009, Vasco announced that Digipass two-factor authentication was available in the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch. Forbes recognized Vasco on its list of "America's Fastest-Growing Tech Companies" that year.
In January 2011, Vasco acquired DigiNotar, a Dutch certificate authority. In June 2011, DigiNotar was hacked and started issuing false security certificates. When the news broke, all issued certificates were cancelled and the company went bankrupt.
The company established its international headquarters at Dubai Silicon Oasis in 2012. Vasco announced that it would lower EMEA channel entry for VARs at that time. It became a member of the Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) Alliance in June 2014 and was later recognized by Gartner's Magic Quadrant for User Authentication.
In October 2015, Vasco acquired Silanis Technology, a Canadian document e-signature company, for US$113 million. By early 2016, the company's cloud electronic signature software, eSignLive, was updated to include integration with Salesforce. Vasco announced a face recognition authentication feature for Digipass in May 2016. The company has partnerships with financial institutions including HSBC Bank USA, Fedict, Rabobank, Arab Bank and Riyadh Bank.
OneSpan
On May 30, 2018, Vasco changed its name to OneSpan. It now trades under the ticker symbol OSPN.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFFP-LP | KFFP-LP (90.3 FM, "Freeform Portland") is a low-power listener supported community radio station in Portland, Oregon. It broadcasts live programming at 90.3 FM 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It first began broadcasting live in April 2016.
Freeform radio
Freeform Portland is modeled after WFMU in Jersey City, New Jersey, the longest running freeform radio station in the United States. Freeform radio is a radio station programming format in which the disc jockey is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. Freeform radio stands in contrast to most commercial radio stations, in which DJs have little or no influence over programming structure or playlists.
History
During 2013, Common Frequencies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community radio, applied for and was granted a low-power FM license from the FCC. In December 2014, Freeform Portland registered with the state as a nonprofit and held their first meeting. There were three volunteers present during the meeting. They discussed the mission of the station, which was to create an outlet for music and art enthusiasts to gain access to the airwaves.
Between January and April 2015, Freeform Portland hosted benefit shows and prepared for the launch of their Indiegogo campaign. Ken Freedman, general manager of WFMU, recorded a video in support of Freeform Portland during the initial fundraising period of the station, stressing the importance of the community building aspect of the genre.
May 2015 saw Freeform Portland kicking off their Indiegogo campaign to purchase station equipment. They had over 20 volunteers and their overall station goal was to raise $7,500 in donations. The fundraiser surpassed its goal and raised $11,500.
Freeform Portland continued to search for a future home during the months of June through October 2015. During that October, Freeform Portland were introduced to Jen and Mark Pendergrass, who run the Baker Building at 5511 N Albina Ave in North Portland. By November, Freeform Portland set up their studios within the historic 1912 landmark.
On April 1, 2016, Freeform Portland had its soft launch via online streaming only and on April 15, 2016, Freeform Portland threw its launch party, during which their radio engineer, Dave Fulton, flipped the transmitter switch.
Freeform Portland is the only freeform radio station in Portland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlandse%20Centrale%20Catalogus | The Nederlandse Centrale Catalogus (NCC) is the official Dutch bibliographic catalog and metadata index system that links to and consolidates the catalogs of over 400 libraries in the Netherlands.
Scope
The NCC contains bibliographic data and locations of more than 14 million books and 500,000 magazines operating in more than 400 Netherlands libraries are found. The database is updated by the libraries that participate in the Gemeenschappelijk Geautomatiseerd Catalogussysteem (GGC; Shared Automated Cataloguing System).
The database is managed jointly by the National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke Bibliotheek – KB) and OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC), a non-profit global cooperative headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. The catalog data has been digitized and is openly accessible online, in multiple languages, via the Dutch website, .
A GGC identifier is synonymous with PPN (PICA Production Number), which derives its name from PICA, makers of PiCarta, the main producer of library systems in the Netherlands that was acquired in 2007 by OCLC. NCC, using OCLC technology, offers interlibrary loan among participating institutions, which includes Article Exchange — a cloud-based secure article sharing platform that automatically deletes articles after a specified number of downloads and number of days.
History
The NCC was founded in 1919 through the initiative of Philipp Christiaan Molhuysen, PhD (1870–1944), librarian and biographer of the Dutch Royal Library and notable pioneer of library science, who, among other things, spearheaded the first effort on record to centralize a catalog for all books in Dutch libraries. The initial effort culminated in massive collection catalog cards stored at the National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague. As a precursor for the launch, Molhuysen and Elsa Rachel Oppenheim (1885–1941) — his second of three wives — together, completed in 1916 the Catalogue de la Bibliothèque du Palais de la Paix, for the Peace Palace law library in The Hague.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the indexing was migrated to digital formats, initially to the GGC, then to the NCC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20B.%20Harley | The Reverend John B. Harley was the third President of Fordham University from 1843 to 1845.
There is little known about Harley before his brief time at St. John's. The college did not maintain data about his early life, and the Church does not name him in their records.
St. John's College--Fordham University
During the early years of St. John's College, Archbishop John Hughes administered the school from Manhattan. Hughes was keen to having Harley join the faculty because of his prior teaching experience at Emmitsburg. Hughes requested that Harley join the faculty at St. John's and leave his position at Mount St. Mary's College and the Seminary in Emmitsburg. The request was granted, and Harley taught bookkeeping and served as the school’s first dean of students (also referred to as: first prefect of discipline) at St. John's. When Ambrose Manahan was president, John Harley felt it necessary to write to Hughes expressing his concerns with Manahan's presidency. "The seminarians, he said, were on the brink of rebellion, and New York risked losing them to another diocese." Harley was so distressed that he offered Hughes his resignation. Hughes refused to accept it, and instead fired Manahan and gave the position to Harley. Harley was twenty-seven years old when he became president of St. John's, and despite his age, he was able to take command of the school and repair the damage done by Manahan. However, in 1845 he grew seriously ill and resigned from his position. Hughes brought Harley overseas, to London, Dublin, and Paris, to search for a treatment, but he was unable to recover. On December 8, 1846, at thirty years old, Harley died at Hughes' home in NYC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen%20I/O | Shenzhen I/O is a puzzle video game and programming game developed by Zachtronics for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS-based personal computers. The game was released in November 2016.
Gameplay
Shenzhen I/O is a puzzle video game set in the near future in which players assume the role of an electronics engineer who has emigrated to Shenzhen, China to work for fictional technology company Shenzhen Longteng Electronics. The player is tasked with creating products for clients, which involves constructing circuits and then writing code to run them. The programming language used in the game is similar to assembly language and the circuit elements resemble simplified versions of real-world electronics.
The game allows players to create their own challenges by writing Lua scripts.
Development and release
Shenzhen I/O was developed by Zachtronics. The game is seen as a spiritual successor to their previous title TIS-100, a coding puzzle game released in 2015. Shenzhen I/O was designed with the same niche audience in mind, specifically people interested in programming. The idea of using the city of Shenzhen, which is a major electronics and high technology manufacturing center in China, as the setting came from Barth reading blogs from Andrew "bunnie" Huang about his experiences there.
The game features a more approachable user interface than TIS-100 and a cast of characters. Zachtronics was reluctant to include a tutorial to teach players how to play Shenzhen I/O. Instead they opted to include a dense manual containing helpful information. Narrative elements are woven into the manual and gameplay by tasking the player to create fictional products.
Zachtronics announced Shenzhen I/O in September 2016, and released an in-development version of the game via Steam Early Access in October 2016. The game launched out of early access for Linux, macOS, and Windows on November 17, 2016. The release was at the conclusion of about six months of development work.
From players' feedback, Zachtronics also released Shenzhen Solitaire, a mini-game within Shenzhen I/O, as a separate, standalone title on December 16, 2016.
Reception
Shenzhen I/O was received favourably by Rock, Paper, Shotgun writer Brendan Caldwell.
Although Shenzhen I/O has a higher price tag than its predecessor TIS-100, Zachtronics observed that the game was selling faster during its early access period.
The game was nominated for "Excellence in Design" at the Independent Games Festival Competition Awards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSNP | openSNP is an open source website where users can share their genetic information. Users upload their genes, including gender, age, eye color, medical history, Fitbit data. With a focus on user patient-led research (PLR), there is potential to redefine the way health research is conducted. The name of the project is inspired by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), which is a DNA variation at a specific location on a strand. Scientists have discovered that there is a correlation between certain SNPs and genetic predispositions such as Mendelian disease.
The code of the project is on GitHub and the CSS is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Potential risks
Since openSNP is an open-sourced social network that is readily available on the internet, there have been questions raised surrounding privacy issues and other risks. Though the sign-up page warns potential users of the record lasting forever, participants must decide for themselves whether the benefits outweigh the pitfalls. As health research continues to progress, more and more scientific analysis places a greater role on PLR, leading to increased demands for a new social contract to secure conditions for participants. Human participant research not only places subjects into potentially harmful situations, but also can lead to other risks such as exploitation and self-experimentation under non-controlled environments. There is also the risk of biases and distortions "arising from self-reporting and self-collected data". However, at this current state and time, the effects of genetic discrimination are unknown due to the lack of evidence. Still, with the rise of open genomic research, privacy protection frameworks need strengthened efforts beyond "traditional legal and organizational safeguards", technical solutions such as data encryption, and mutual understanding. In a study of an article done through the University of San Diego School of Law, Sejin Ahn discovered that perhaps the most critical solution that needs to be strengthened is the legislative ban on re-identification and anti-discrimination protection. Ahn explains that these remedies must be addressed and updated in order to protect participants from privacy breaches.
A survey of users of the site found that while most respondents 'were well aware of the privacy risks of their involvement in open genetic data sharing and considered the possibility of direct, personal repercussions troubling, they estimated the risk of this happening to be negligible'.
Potential benefits
The website provides a proof-of-concept mechanism for allowing anyone to be involved in any stage of genomics research. This model allows partnerships to form which can be independent of governments, academia or for-profit organisations and is a way of creating the enabling conditions for anyone to access, influence and get involved in every stage of the genomics research cycle. The model reflects the value that users of such sites attach to sharing data a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagalume | Vagalume is a music portal from Brazil. Created in 2002 by the couple Ana Letícia Torres and Daniel Lafraia, they used the PHP language with MySQL database to initially create a small base of lyrics of songs. Gradually, users sent lyrics and included information from artists of all musical genres (more than 1,000 new lyrics are sent daily). Over time, other content was added including autographs, biographies, and discography. The stylized logo was created by remembering the insect firefly. The portal is one of the most accessed throughout Brazil and Portugal.
In 2004 the first plugin of the site was launched, which integrated with Winamp. It had a good acceptance and prominence in the Brazilian media, with that the plugin was also developed for other players, like Windows Media Player, iTunes and Foobar2000. In April 2006 the magazine Info Exame classified the plugins as a 206 of the best software on the planet. In August 2006 the site was also taken to Argentina in partnership with UOL, but was extinguished with the change of the site to the IG. Since mid-2012 the site is partner of R7 the news portal of Rede Record.
In 2016, Vagalume launched Vagalume FM, a Brazilian music streaming platform to compete with Spotify and Deezer, and the application has already been downloaded more than 10000 times on Google Play, and the site's own application has already been downloaded more than 10 million times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%A9gory%20Chatonsky | Grégory Chatonsky (May 4, 1971) is a French and Canadian Artist who works with interactive installations, networked devices, photographs and sculptures. He explores the relationship between technologies and affectivity creating new forms of fiction.
Early life and education
After completing studies in Visual Arts and Philosophy at La Sorbonne Pantheon-Sorbonne University, Grégory Chatonsky began his master's degree at the ENSBA and at ENST finishing in 1999. In March 2016 he was awarded his PhD from Université du Québec à Montréal for his dissertation: Aesthetics of flows (after digital).
Work
Grégory Chatonsky is one of the early practitioners of Internet art having founded in 1994 incident.net, an Internet art collective exploring the notions of the accidental, the glitch and unpredictability. During this early period of internet he created the website of Centre Georges Pompidou. From 1994 to 1997, Chatonsky, researched, wrote the screenplay and produced the CD-ROM, Mémoires de la Déportation, about deportations and the Holocaust in France. From the mid-nineties Chatonsky produced films, audios and code-based work for the internet, including Counter (1995), a website that existed solely to count visitors, 2fresh (1997), a snippet of HTML script, and La Vitesse du Silence (1999), a netart performance piece.
Produced at the C³ Center for Culture & Communication Foundation (with Reynald Drouhin) and at Biennale d’art contemporain de Montréal, Revenances (1999) was an online performance work that invited the viewer to slow down their browsing and consider glitches and pauses as spaces where "ghosts" may interact.
In 2003, he became interested in the themes of ruins and the materiality of digital flows. In 2009, he ventured into the world of artificial intelligence, which he renames artificial imagination, which became over the years an object of research and creation. He wrote the first French language novel co-written with a modified version of GPT-2. Chatonsky divides his time between France and Canada. He has taught at Le Fresnoy-Studio national des arts contemporains, France, at Université du Québec à Montréal’s School of visual and media artn he is artist-researcher at École Normale Supérieure in Paris and teacher of artificial imagination in EUR Artec.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echoborg | An echoborg is a person whose words and actions are determined, in whole or in part, by an artificial intelligence (AI).
The term "echoborg" was coined by social psychologists Kevin Corti and Alex Gillespie, whose research at the London School of Economics explored unscripted face-to-face social encounters between research participants and confederates whose words were covertly supplied by rudimentary AIs known as “chat bots" and vocalized via speech shadowing. The idea is derivative of the cyranoid concept that originated with Stanley Milgram.
The “echoborg method” allows one to investigate how people behave and make attributions toward an AI (or more precisely, a human-AI “hybrid”) when their psychological state is fully primed for human-human interaction. Other forms of human-AI interaction (e.g., computer-mediated conversation) involve a machine interface, anthropomorphic analog, or a virtual reality layer through which a person communicates with an AI, and these forms of mediation fundamentally alter the intersubjective relationship between the human and artificial agents party to an interaction.
The echoborg concept has been explored in performance art as commentary on the increasing ubiquitousness of AI and its contribution to human culture, as well as people's dependency on various types of AI (e.g., GPS navigation systems) for carrying out mundane social tasks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon%20Valley%20Computer%20Group%20Philippines | Silicon Valley Computer Group Philippines or simply known as Silicon Valley is a consumer electronics retail shop in the Philippines with 63 branches, nationwide.
History
Silicon Valley started a computer rental service on December 15, 1985. They were the first in the Philippines to sell computer supplies by pieces instead of selling it by sets. With their prospering business for eleven years, in 1996, the company moved its corporate office at San Francisco Del Monte, Quezon City, Philippines and started to expand branches, nationwide.
In 1997, First International Computer (FIC), a Taiwanese-based manufacturer of computer motherboards, appointed Silicon Valley as their distributor in the Philippines. It then followed by Hewett-Packard which the appointed Silicon Valley as their Accredited Commercial Reseller (ACR), Dealer Premier Support Partner (DPSP) and Accredited Service Provider (ASP).
Silicon Valley has expanded to a chain of retail stores focused on computer sets, parts, and accessories. Gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, video recorders, and printing supplies were later introduced in their product lineup.
Silicon Valley together with Asianic Distributors brought Lenovo in the Philippines by having the first Lenovo Concept store at The Cyberzone, SM Mall of Asia followed by seven other stores within Metro Manila. It was after Lenovo bought International Business Machines Corporation's PC divisions in 2005. By that time, PCs with brands IdeaPad and ThinkPad PCs, ThinkServer systems and ThinkVision monitors, and as well as Lenovo computer accessories were readily available at the concept store. The concept store also offers PC repairs and technical support for Lenovo products.
In 2010, Silicon Valley was offered by Globe Telecoms in providing communication tools with mobile postpaid lines, wired direct lines and broadband internet connections. This has increased the efficiency of Silicon Valley's operations.
In 2016, Promate Philippines partnered with Silicon Valley in selling their products.
The growth of Silicon Valley expanded with developments of retail shopping malls in the country by adding more of their branches inside the country's major retail malls like SM Malls, Ayala Malls, and KCC Malls. They have 51 branches of which 29 of those are their showrooms, nationwide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenocyte | In biology, solenocytes are elongated, flagellated cells commonly found in lower invertebrates, such as flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes), as well as in chordates (sub-phylum Cephalochordata) and several other animal species. In terms of function, solenocytes play a significant role in the excretory systems of their host organism(s). For example, the lancelets, also referred to as amphioxus (genus Branchiostoma), utilize solenocytic protonephridia to perform excretion. In addition to excretion, these cells contribute to ion regulation and osmoregulation. With this in mind, solenocytes form subtypes of protonephridium and are often compared to another specialized excretory cell type, i.e., flame cells. Solenocytes have flagella, while flame cells are generally ciliated.
Cellular structure and configuration
Solenocytes are mesoderm-derived and morphologically diverse cells containing a cytoplasmic cap or enclosed cell body with a nucleus residing in its core. A long tubule is attached to the cell body, and within its intracellular lumen lies either one or two long flagella. The continuously moving vibratile flagella extend from a protein structure, referred to as the basal body, found at the base of the flagellar structure. Extending through the length of the tubule, the flagella are able to protrude into the protonephridium lumen rather designedly (see Figure 1).
The tubule wall structure is composed of thin, pillar-like rods perforated by tiny openings. These pore spaces are likely the site of interstitial fluid filtration.
A nephridium contains approximately 500 solenocytes, each of which is roughly 50 microns in length (this measure includes the nucleated cell body and tubule). The excretory organ of Amphioxus (genus Branchiostoma) belcheri contains clusters of solenocytes (the majority of which are situated along the ligamentum denticulatum coelomic surface). These clusters are composed at patterned intervals, generating groups amongst the renal tubules of B. belcheri, which in a way, resemble mesothelial cells surrounding the human body's internal organs. Additional studies indicate a resemblance to vertebrate podocytes, as vascular fluid within the ligamentum denticulatum may travel into the coelom through the narrow network of solenocyte gaps or foot processes.
Function and mechanistic aspects
In regards to function, flagella play a significant role in the excretory nature of solenocytes. These motile appendages extend from the solenocyte membrane and utilize the support of an axial filament (or axoneme), basal body, as well as numerous microtubules. That said, the stability of the flagellum is crucial to its motility. The basal body, composed of nine triplet microtubules, functions to anchor the flagella in place (acting as a modified centriole). Situated at the center of each flagellum is the highly conserved axoneme, which contains nine doublet microtubules encircling a pair of singlet microtubules (generating a 9+2 pattern). Th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy%20map | An empathy map is a widely-used visualization tool within the field of user experience design and human–computer interaction practice. In relation to empathetic design, the primary purpose of an empathy map is to bridge the understanding of the end user. Within context of its application, this tool is used to build a shared understanding of the user's needs and provide context to a user-centered solution.
Structure
The traditional empathy map begins with four categories: says, thinks, does, and feels. At the center of the map, a user or persona is displayed to remind practitioners and stakeholders what type of individual this research is centered around. Each category of the empathy map represents a snapshot of the user's thoughts and feelings without any chronological order.
Says category contains what the user says out loud during research or testing. Ideally, each point is written down as close to the user's original words as possible.
Thinks category contains what the user is thinking. While content may overlap with the Says category, Thinks category exists to capture thoughts users may not want to share willing due to social factors, such as self-consciousness or politeness.
Does category contains the user's action and behaviors. This contains what the user is physically doing and captures what actions users are taking.
Feels category contains the user's emotional state in context with their experience. This typically contains information or phrases as to how they feel about the experience.
However, as time evolved, the empathy map has been updated to provide more context and information architecture within the industry.
Empathy maps could vary in forms, but they have common core elements. Other than the four traditional categories mentioned above, empathy map could also include other categories. Here are two other categories commonly used:
See category contains information users observed through eyes. It could be what users see in the marketplace or in the immediate environment, other people's saying and doing, or the content they watch or read.
Hear category is what user hears and how that impacts the user. It could be personal connections as well as other recourses such as media. Instead of documenting superficial information streams, team should focus on details that influence the user.
Empathy map vs. persona
It is easy to confuse the use of empathy map and persona. They are both important and common tools used in the research process. Here's the main difference:
Empathy map occurs in the early research process. It is used to get into user's head and heart. Empathy map helps to picture user's situation as well as to consider what future researches might be needed.
Persona is more definite and formal. In order to generate a well-build persona for addressing needs and problems, the team needs to conduct in-depth research. Personas are better leveraged later on in the process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business%20Growth%20Fund | BGF, established in 2011 as the Business Growth Fund, is an investment company that provides growth capital for small and mid-sized businesses in the UK and Ireland.
From a network of 16 offices in the UK and Ireland, the company has invested more than £3 billion in more than 400 small and mid-sized companies. Around three-quarters of its investments have been in companies based outside London and South East England.
BGF typically takes minority, non-controlling shareholdings in investee companies. BGF has completed more than 150 exits by selling businesses in its portfolio.
History
BGF was founded in 2011 by Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered banks, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
The launch followed lobbying of both Conservative and Labour politicians by businessman Sir Nigel Rudd, who had argued for the creation of an organisation to provide equity funding to help close a perceived funding gap for small and mid-sized businesses. A shortfall in funding for small and mid-sized businesses in the UK had been identified as long ago as 1931 by the Macmillan Committee.
BGF was seen as a successor to the Industrial and Commercial Finance Corporation (ICFC), set up by the Bank of England in 1945 and subsequently renamed 3i. BGF has been described as the “modern 3i”.
Stephen Welton, founding CEO, said that a new organisation was needed because 3i’s business model, in line with the private equity industry generally, had evolved to focus on large buyout deals, meaning it had less of a focus on providing growth capital to small and mid-sized businesses.
In 2017, BGF opened an office in Dublin to administer a €250 million fund to invest in small and mid-sized Irish companies. The Irish fund is backed by AIB, Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund and BGF’s existing shareholders.
BGF’s model has been replicated in Canada with the Canadian Business Growth Fund, launched in 2018 and backed by financial institutions including Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Manulife. In 2019, the Australian Business Growth Fund was launched with backing from banks including Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, National Australia Bank and ANZ Bank.
Leadership
Andy Gregory has been chief executive officer of BGF since 1 September 2022. He took over from Stephen Welton, formerly of JP Morgan & Co, who led BGF since inception in 2011. From 1 January 2023, Welton will serve as non-executive chair of the business.
In 2013, Welton was appointed as an adviser to the government regarding the establishment of the British Business Bank, and, in 2017, he was invited to join the Industry Panel for the UK Government’s Patient Capital Review.
Investment approach
BGF typically makes initial investments of between £2-15 million, with the possibility for follow-on investments.
The firm provides patient capital, which has been defined by HM Treasury as “long-term investment in innovative firms |

It is produced using motion capture that blends with animatronic interfaces which enables the crew to make animation.
Premise
Splash and Bubbles follows a yellowback fusilier (though at times he and the narrator claim that he is a yellowtail fusilier), Splash, who settles in Reeftown after looking all over the ocean. He then befriends Bubbles, a mandarin dragonet, and the duo, along with friends Dunk and Ripple, explore the reef to venture and make new friends. Each episode also includes a documentary segment, Get Your Feet Wet, which features kids asking questions that are occasionally followed up by a musical number.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto%20Ciaramella | Alberto Ciaramella (born 1947) is an Italian computer engineer and scientist. He is notable for extensive pioneering contributions in the field of speech technologies and applied natural language processing, most of them at CSELT and Loquendo, with the amount of 40 papers and four patents.
Biography
Ciaramella obtained the Laurea in Electronic Engineering and the Post-Laurea in 1969 at La Sapienza University in Rome with prof. Antonio Ruberti as supervisor of his thesis. Then, he joined CSELT as a research engineer.
In 1975 he patented at CSELT one of the first architecture-independent bootstrap devices that allowed the Gruppi Speciali (the first electronic Italian telephone switch and the most advanced project in Italian in the seventies) to start up by pushing a single button from a ROM memory in case of failure.
During the 80s Ciaramella took part in some European projects (Esprit P26, SUNDIAL) in the pioneering field of speech recognition and dialogue systems on many European languages, such as Italian, during which he proposed a method to evaluate the quality of the dialogue systems by comparing the meanings.
In 1983 he co-authored one of the first international patents on speaker recognition, a new research field at that time, applied commercially in a speech recognition software licensed by CSELT.
In 1990 he co-authored one of the first international patents of a real-time speech recognition system integrated in a microprocessor suitable for being used by a Telecommunication company: the microprocessor was named RIPAC (Riconoscitore di Parlato Connesso - as stated in the patent description itself).
Extensive research was conducted on the Hidden Markov Model aimed to speech recognition tasks, by using small such as big dictionaries and applied to many cases - e.g. the recognition of the children's voice, or browser navigation by voice. Other contributions include test and proposals in international communication standards, such as VoiceXML.
In 2001 the CSELT's voice technology group became Loquendo and Alberto Ciaramella became Competitive intelligence supervisor of the company.
In 2005 Ciaramella founded IntelliSemantic at the Incubator of Politecnico di Torino, an innovative company that works in the field of Competitive Business Intelligence. Also within his present company, he continues the research in the field of the applied language technologies. In 2010 he co-authored a paper about his view about the application of the emerging "semantic" technologies to the patent analysis, which became popular in the field of Patent Informatics, and took part in Topas European project focused on patent summarization.

Reception
Yummy Mummies was panned by critics.
Writing for news.com.au, Debbie Schipp was highly critical of the show. Schipp described it as "fabricated, contrived, vapid, vacuous, pointless tripe". Schipp wrote that she had watched the show so others don't have to. Schipp further attacked the show as "not even car-crash. It’s cringe-making".
In The Sydney Morning Herald, Craig Mathieson wrote that "To call Yummy Mummies car-crash television is to understate how garish, stupid, weird, poorly executed, and dutifully offensive it is".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock%20the%20Hero%20Dog | Jock the Hero Dog (also known as Jock of the Bushveld) is a 2011 South African-American 3D computer-animated adventure comedy film directed by Duncan MacNeillie. It features the voices of Bryan Adams, Donald Sutherland, Helen Hunt, Ted Danson, Desmond Tutu, Mandy Patinkin and William Baldwin. It is loosely based on the 1907 book Jock of the Bushveld by Sir James Percy FitzPatrick.
Plot
A pack of puppies live on a farm in the bush field with one of them being a scar face dog named Jock. One morning during a game of tug-of-war, the puppies get disturbed by a jealous old man who wants to sell the farm and the puppies and win the bush field of the wheat. Jock tries to use his bark to defeat the old man but fails when a squeaky sound comes out instead.
Later that night, Jock ventures out of the farm for something to eat and gets nearly pursued by a wolf and a vulture, but is saved by Old Yeller. Old Yeller explains that he once had an owner named Big Arlie who adopted him when he was little but died from a disease leaving him to survive on his own. The next morning, Jock once again meets the old man that also has a dog of his own Ol' Bonnie. They try to drown him in a bucket of water but Old Yeller arrives and saves Jock, and later encourages him to survive on his own when the farmer passes away. Later the farmer passes away leaving the puppies orphaned, and Jock is unable to find Old Yeller.
Bonnie attacks Old Yeller leaving him wounded and badly scarred, but Jock rescues him by splashing him with the bucket of water they tried to drowned him in earlier that morning. As they make a campfire for the puppies to survive the night, Jock realizes that Old Yeller now has a scar most likely as his as his scar was burnt when a small fire approached at the end of the barn in fall. He then falls asleep and has a dream about becoming like Old Yeller. The next morning, a hurricane arrives and tears up the barn while the puppies and Old Yeller evacuate to shelter nearby that not only causes destruction in the flatlands, but also damages the bush field they were meant to harvest that winter. After a sad look at the damage, Jock finds Old Yeller’s collar laying in one of his water bowls.
The old man and Bonnie investigate to find Jock and replace him with a small puppy. Jock finds Old Yeller and explains that his owner didn't die from the disease, but needs treatment to get well. Just then the puppies end up getting captured by Bonnie who trasp them in a bag filled with rubbish and takes the bag into the cabin. When Jock and Old Yeller burst inside, they are shocked to find out that it was Old Yeller's old barn that he lived in before he moved out.
During the fight to save the puppies, Jock ends up causing a fire that burns the whole structure. Old Yeller then realizes that his owner is in the hospital room and rushes to save him. Jock threatens to give him a scar like he did to Old Yeller before, But then finds Old Yeller laying unconscious as a vase fell a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caladenia%20caudata | Caladenia caudata, commonly known as tailed spider orchid, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is a ground orchid with a single hairy leaf and up to four red, or yellow and red flowers with dark red to almost black tips.
Description
Caladenia caudata is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber and a single densely hairy, broad linear to lance-shaped leaf. The leaf is long, wide and is reddish or purplish near its base. It emerges in late autumn following rains.
There are up to four flowers in diameter borne on a hairy spike high. The flowers are red to pinkish, sometimes with yellowish green but always have dark red to almost black glandular tips on the sepals and petals. The dorsal sepal is long, about wide and erect near the base but then curves forward. The lateral sepals are long, about wide, egg-shaped to lance-shaped near their base but then tapering, and spread widely with their tips drooping slightly. The petals are slightly shorter and narrower. The labellum is heart-shaped, long, wide and reddish to cream-coloured with a reddish-black tip. It is divided into three lobes with 7 to 9 pairs of narrow linear teeth about long on the lateral lobes. The middle lobe of the labellum is strongly curved downwards and has many short teeth on its edges. There are four to six irregular rows of dark red calli in the centre of the labellum. The column is long and wide. In some areas, flowering occurs as early as mid-August but in other places starts as late as mid-November, but flowers are rarely open for more than about a week.
Taxonomy and naming
Caladenia caudata was first formally described by William Henry Nicholls in 1948 and the description was published in The Victorian Naturalist. The specific epithet (caudata) is derived from the Latin word cauda meaning "tail".
Distribution and habitat
This caladenia is widespread in Tasmania, where it grows in dry heath and grassy open woodland in coastal and near-coastal areas.
Ecology
Tailed spider orchid is thought to be pollinated by the thynnid wasp, Lophocheilus villosus.
Conservation
Caladenia caudata is listed as "Vulnerable" under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). More than forty subpopulations are known but individual plants have not been seen in most of them for many decades and only small numbers have been seen in others. Much of the habitat favoured by this orchid has been cleared for agriculture, individuals are often difficult to find and tend to flower infrequently, often in response to disturbance such as burning.

A Reflection of Kentu |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access%20level | In computer science and computer programming, access level denotes the set of permissions or restrictions provided to a data type. Reducing access level is an effective method for limiting failure modes, reducing debugging time, and simplifying overall system complexity. It restricts variable modification to only the methods defined within the interface to the class. Thus, it is incorporated into many fundamental software design patterns. In general, a given object cannot be created, read, updated or deleted by any function without having a sufficient access level.
The two most common access levels are public and private, which denote, respectively; permission across the entire program scope, or permission only within the corresponding class. A third, protected, extends permissions to all subclasses of the corresponding class. Access levels modifiers are commonly used in Java as well as C#, which further provides the internal level. In C++, the only difference between a struct and a class is the default access level, which is private for classes and public for structs.
To illustrate the benefit: consider a public variable which can be accessed from any part of a program. If an error occurs, the culprit could be within any portion of the program, including various sub-dependencies. In a large code base, this leads to thousands of potential sources. Alternatively, consider a private variable. Due to access restrictions, all modifications to its value must occur via functions defined within the class. Therefore, the error is structurally contained within the class. There is often only a single source file for each class, which means debugging only requires evaluation of a single file. With sufficient modularity and minimal access level, large code bases can avoid many challenges associated with complexity.
Example: Bank Balance Class
Retrieved from Java Coffee Break Q&A
public class bank_balance
{
public String owner;
private int balance;
public bank_balance( String name, int dollars )
{
owner = name;
if (dollars >= 0)
balance = dollars;
else
dollars =0;
}
public int getBalance()
{
return balance;
}
public void setBalance(int dollars)
{
if (dollars >= 0)
balance = dollars;
else
dollars = 0;
}
}
Here, the imperative variable balance is defined as a private int. This ensures other classes, methods and functions cannot accidentally overwrite the variable balance. Instead, they must access the interface for the class bank_balance, whose methods ensure the balance cannot drop below 0.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notebook%20interface | A notebook interface or computational notebook is a virtual notebook environment used for literate programming, a method of writing computer programs. Some notebooks are WYSIWYG environments including executable calculations embedded in formatted documents; others separate calculations and text into separate sections. Notebooks share some goals and features with spreadsheets and word processors but go beyond their limited data models.
Modular notebooks may connect to a variety of computational back ends, called "kernels". Notebook interfaces are widely used for statistics, data science, machine learning, and computer algebra.
At the notebook core is the idea of literate programming tools which "let you arrange the parts of a program in any order and extract documentation and code from the same source file.", the notebook takes this approach to a new level extending it with some graphic functionality and a focus on interactivity. According to Stephen Wolfram: "The idea of a notebook is to have an interactive document that freely mixes code, results, graphics, text and everything else.", and according to the Jupyter Project Documentation: "The notebook extends the console-based approach to interactive computing in a qualitatively new direction, providing a web-based application suitable for capturing the whole computation process: developing, documenting, and executing code, as well as communicating the results. The Jupyter notebook combines two components".
History
VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet for personal computers, was published in 1979. Its idea of visual calculations is still widely used today but limited to documents that fit into a table.
Research on WYSIWYG mathematical systems supporting mixed text and calculations with a document metaphor begin to be published in 1987: Ron Avitzur's Milo, William Schelter's INFOR, Xerox PARC's Tioga and CaminoReal.
The earliest commercial system using the document metaphor was MathCAD, which also came out in 1987. Wolfram Mathematica 1.0 followed in 1988. Later came Maple 5.2 (1992) and Macsyma 2.0 (1995).
As the notebook interface increased in popularity over the next two decades, notebooks for various computational back ends ("kernels") have been introduced, including MATLAB, Python, Julia, R, Scala, Elixir, SQL, and others.
The variety of notebook interface has since been extended and new forms are still evolving.
Use
Notebooks are traditionally used in the sciences as electronic lab notebooks to document research procedures, data, calculations, and findings. Notebooks track methodology to make it easier to reproduce results and calculations with different data sets. In education, the notebook interface provides a digital learning environment, particularly for the teaching of computational thinking. Their utility for combining text with code makes them unique in the realm of education. Digital notebooks are sometimes used for presentations as an alternative to PowerPoint and other presen |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizmodo%20Media%20Group | Gizmodo Media Group was an online media company and blog network formerly operated by Univision Communications (now TelevisaUnivision) in its Fusion Media Group division. The company was created from assets acquired from Gawker Media during its bankruptcy in 2016. In April 2019, Gizmodo and The Onion were sold to private equity firm Great Hill Partners, which combined them into a new company named G/O Media.
History
Univision acquisition (2016)
On June 10, 2016, Gawker Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the company was ordered to pay $115 million in compensatory damages and a further $25 million in punitive damages in Bollea v. Gawker.
On August 16, 2016, Univision Communications purchased Gawker for $135 million. The purchase did not include the flagship website Gawker. It included the websites Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jalopnik, and Lifehacker. Univision named the unit Gizmodo Media Group after one of its blogs, Gizmodo, in an effort to distance itself from the Gawker name.
On September 10, 2016, Univision removed six controversial posts from various Gawker Media sites, each with the note: "This story is no longer available as it is the subject of pending litigation against the prior owners of this site."
On September 21, 2016, Raju Narisetti was named as CEO of Gizmodo Media Group.
Very Smart Brothas
On July 7, 2017, Gizmodo Media Group acquired the blog Very Smart Brothas.
Earther
In September 2017, Gizmodo Media Group launched its first new stand-alone site since acquisition from Gawker Media, Earther, devoted to environmental news, with Managing Editor Maddie Stone.
Televisa
In December 2017, Gizmodo Media Group announced a partnership with Mexican media conglomerate Televisa to launch Spanish-language editions of websites such as Gizmodo, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jalopnik and Jezebel.
Struggles and sale
On May 8, 2018, the GMG Special Projects Desk published an article that highlighted various issues plaguing Univision.
On June 28, 2018, The Daily Beast reported that over forty GMG staffers would be taking union-negotiated buyouts, thereby averting layoffs.
On July 10, 2018, Univision announced that it would "explore" the option of selling all of the Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion websites under its ownership.
Great Hill Partners acquisition (2019)
In April 2019, private equity firm Great Hill Partners agreed to purchase Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion from Univision. The sale was completed on April 8, 2019, with Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion being combined into a new company named G/O Media.

Created in 2012 by Ken Moore, Lumina was initially a set of extensions to Fluxbox, a stacking window manager for the X Window System. By late 2013, Moore had developed a graphical overlay for Fluxbox based on Qt4, and had created a utility for "launching applications and opening files". The codebase was integrated into the PC-BSD source repository by early 2014, and a port was added to the FreeBSD Ports collection in April 2014. The source code has since been moved to a separate GitHub repository "under the PC-BSD umbrella" and converted to use Qt5. Development also focused on replacing the Fluxbox core with a Qt-based window manager integrated with the Lumina desktop.
The project avoids use of Linux-based tools or frameworks, such as D-Bus, Polkit, and systemd.
Features
The desktop and application menus are dynamically configured upon first being launched, as the desktop environment finds installed applications automatically to add to the menu and as a desktop icon. The default panel includes a Start menu, task manager, and system tray, and its location can be customized. Menus may be accessed via the Start menu or by right-clicking the mouse on the desktop background.
Some features are specific to TrueOS, including hardware control of screen brightness (monitor backlight), preventing shutdown of an updating system, and integration with various TrueOS utilities.
Utilities include: Insight, a file manager; File information, which reports a file's format and other details; and Lumina Open, a graphical utility to launch applications based on the selected file or folder.
Version 1.4 included several new utilities. The PDF reader lumina-pdf is based on the poppler library. The Lumina Theme Engine replaced an earlier theme system; it enables a user to configure the desktop appearance and functionality, and ensures all Qt5 applications "present a unified appearance".
Ports
Lumina has been ported to various BSD operating systems and Linux distributions. These include:
Berkeley Software Distribution
TrueOS
DragonFly BSD
FreeBSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD
kFreeBSD
Linux distributions
antiX Linux
Arch Linux
Debian

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Natural%20Resources%20Management%20System | National Natural Resources Management System is an integrated natural resource management system of India which aggregates the data about natural resources from the remote sensing satellites and other conventional techniques. One of the important elements of this management system is the National Resource Information Systems which acts as feeder information system to the larger information system of the Government, which includes socioeconomic information and models. NNRMS activities are co-ordinated at the National level by the Planning Committee of NNRMS (PC-NNRMS) which frames guidelines for implementation of the systems and oversees the progress of remote sensing applications for natural resources management in the country.
History
In the early 1980s, the Planning Commission of India realized the need to set up a system for efficient management of remote sensing data and the conventional data - for management and development of natural resources of the India. To start with the same, a planning committee was constituted in 1982. After some initial experimental work, about 50 end-to-end projects were discussed in the committee and a framework for the NNRMS was outlined. The planning commission adopted several resolutions regarding the establishment of NNRMS. One of the resolution outlined the setting up National Task Forces to address the technical suitability, cost effectiveness, accuracy and the integration of remote sensing data with traditional techniques. The task forces was set up in the fields of Water Resources (Ground and Surface Water), Geology, Soil and Land Use, Urban and Rural Studies, Oceanography/Marine Resources/Coastal Studies, Agriculture, Forestry and Cartographic Representation of Data (CARD The task forces submitted the reports on the current information needs and existing conventional information system role of remote sensing
Objectives
NNRMS carries out the following tasks:
Mapping of forests and grasslands.
Monitoring of forest encroachment and shifting cultivation Forest fire surveillance.
Mapping and monitoring of biosphere reserves.
Eco-system management related studies for environmentally fragile/sensitive regions like the Himalayas, Western Ghats etc.

One of the core projects of the Duterte Administration's "Build, Build, Build" Program, the bridge network aims to provide increased inter-connectivity in the provinces of Western and Central Visayas, to stimulate economic activity in the region and help in the decongestion of Metro Manila in the process. Considering the width of the Iloilo Strait, Guimaras Strait, and Tañon Strait, each bridge in the network, if completed, will be much longer than the longest bridge in the country, the 2-km San Juanico Bridge between the islands of Samar and Leyte.
History
There were several proposals to build bridges linking the islands in Visayas. In 1999, the Japan International Cooperation Agency created a master plan for two bridges connecting Panay, Guimaras, and Negros; the first bridge, spanning , was planned to link Leganes, Iloilo to Buenavista, Guimaras, while the second bridge also measuring was meant to connect San Lorenzo, Guimaras to Pulupandan, Negros Occidental. The Department of Public Works and Highways conducted a study on building bridges that would connect Panay, Guimaras, and Negros which were projected to require a budget if the bridges are to be built.
In 2013, Governors Arthur Defensor Sr. of Iloilo and Alfredo Marañón Jr. of Negros Occidental made an alternative proposal that would bypass Guimaras and directly link Banate (in Iloilo) and E.B. Magalona (in Negros Occidental) via a bridge.
A feasibility study conducted by the Philippine government that concluded in May 2018 divided the project into three phases: Phase I would start in Leganes, Iloilo and go to Buenavista, Guimaras; Phase II will be the Guimaras–Negros portion; while Phase III the Negros–Cebu part. Public Works and Highways secretary Mark Villar announced in August 2018 that Phase I of the project will likely start in early 2019, with the ₱27.156 million needed for the project to be provided by the Chinese government through a grant. This proposal did not actualize and the local Philippine governments are now negotiating an alternative proposal from South Korean interests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J.%20Alex%20Halderman | J. Alex Halderman (born January 1981) is professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, where he is also director of the Center for Computer Security & Society. Halderman's research focuses on computer security and privacy, with an emphasis on problems that broadly impact society and public policy.
Education
Halderman was awarded the A.B. summa cum laude in June 2003, the M.A. in June 2005, and the Ph.D. in June 2009, all in Computer Science from Princeton University.
Academic career
As a student at Princeton, Halderman played a significant role in exposing flaws in digital rights management (DRM) software used on compact discs. In 2004, he discovered that a DRM system called MediaMax CD-3 could be bypassed simply by holding down the shift key while inserting a CD. The company behind the system briefly threatened him with a $10 million lawsuit, landing him on the front page of USA Today. Later, in 2005, he helped show that a DRM system called Extended Copy Protection functioned identically to a rootkit and weakened the security of computers in which audio CDs were played. The ensuing Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal led to the recall of millions of CDs, class action lawsuits, and enforcement action by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
In 2008, Halderman led the team that discovered the cold boot attack against disk encryption, which allows an attacker with physical access to a computer device to extract encryption keys or other secrets from its memory. The technique, which was initially effective against nearly every full-disk encryption product on the market, exploits DRAM data remanence to retrieve memory contents even after the device has been briefly powered off. One version of the technique involves cooling DRAM modules with freeze spray to slow data decay, then removing them from the computer and reading them in an external device. It has become an important part of computer forensics practice and has also inspired a wide variety of defensive research, such as leakage-resilient cryptography and hardware implementations of encrypted RAM. For their work developing the attack, Halderman and his coauthors received the Pwnie Award for Most Innovative Research and the Best Student Paper Award from the USENIX Security Symposium.
At the University of Michigan, Halderman and coauthors performed some of the first comprehensive studies of Internet censorship in China and in Iran, and of underground "street networks" in Cuba. In 2009, he led a team that uncovered security problems and copyright infringement in client-side censorship software mandated by the Chinese government. The findings helped catalyze popular protest against the program, leading China to reverse its policy requiring its installation on new PCs. In 2011, Halderman and his students invented Telex, a new approach to circumventing Internet censorship, partially by placing anticensorship technology into core network infrastructure outside t |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediation-driven%20attachment%20model | In the scale-free network theory (mathematical theory of networks or graph theory), a mediation-driven attachment (MDA) model appears to embody a preferential attachment rule tacitly rather than explicitly. According to MDA rule, a new node first picks a node from the existing network at random and connect itself not with that but with one of the neighbors also picked at random.
Barabasi and Albert in 1999 noted through their seminal paper noted that (i) most natural and man-made networks are not static, rather they grow with time and (ii) new nodes do not connect with an already connected one randomly rather preferentially with respect to their degrees. The later mechanism is called preferential attachment (PA) rule which embodies the rich get richer phenomena in economics. In their first model, known as the Barabási–Albert model, Barabási and Albert (BA model) choose
where, is the probability that the new node picks a node from the labelled nodes of the existing network. It directly embodies the rich get richer mechanism.
Recently, Hassan et al. proposed a mediation-driven attachment model which appears to embody the PA rule but not directly rather in disguise. In the MDA model, an incoming node choose an existing node to connect by first picking one of the existing nodes at random which is regarded as mediator. The new node then connect with one of the neighbors of the mediator which is also picked at random. Now the question is: What is the probability that an already existing node is finally picked to connect it with the new node? Say, the node has degree and hence it has neighbors. Consider that the neighbors of are labeled which have degrees respectively. One can reach the node from each of these nodes with probabilities inverse of their respective degrees, and each of the nodes are likely to be picked at random with probability . Thus the probability of the MDA model is:
It can be re-written as
where the factor is the inverse of the harmonic mean (IHM) of degrees of the neighbors of the node . Extensive numerical simulation suggest that for small the IHM value of each node fluctuate so wildly that the mean of the IHM values over the entire network bears no meaning. However, for large (specially approximately greater than 14) the distribution of IHM value of the entire network become left skewed Gaussian type and mean starts to have a meaning which becomes a constant value in the large limit. In this limit one finds that which is exactly the PA rule. It implies that the higher the links (degree) a node has, the higher its chance of gaining more links since they can be reached in a larger number of ways through mediators which essentially embodies the intuitive idea of rich get richer mechanism. Therefore, the MDA network can be seen to follow the PA rule but in disguise. Moreover, for small the MFA is no longer valid rather the attachment probability becomes super-preferential in character.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform%20cooperative | A platform cooperative, or platform co-op, is a cooperatively owned, democratically governed business that establishes a computing platform, and uses a website, mobile app or a protocol to facilitate the sale of goods and services. Platform cooperatives are an alternative to venture capital-funded platforms insofar as they are owned and governed by those who depend on them most—workers, users, and other relevant stakeholders.
Typology
While there is no commonly accepted typology of platform cooperatives, researchers often ontologize platform cooperatives by industry. Some potential categories include: transportation, on-demand labor, journalism, music, creative projects, timebank, film, home health care, photography, data cooperatives, marketplaces. Other typologies differentiate platform cooperatives by their governance or ownership structures.
Platform cooperatives have been contrasted with platform capitalism. Companies that try to focus on fairness and sharing, instead of just profit motive, are described as cooperatives, whereas more traditional and common companies that focus solely on profit, like Airbnb and Uber, are platform capitalists (or cooperativist platforms vs capitalist platforms). In turn, projects like Wikipedia, which rely on unpaid labor of volunteers, can be classified as commons-based peer-production initiatives.
Examples
Many platform co-operatives use business models similar to better-known apps or web services, but with a cooperative structure. For example, there are numerous driver-owned taxi apps that allow customers to submit trip requests and notify the nearest driver, similar to Uber.
The Internet of Ownership website includes a directory of the platform co-op "ecosystem".
Eva is a ride-sharing application that offers a service similar to Uber, but in line with its cooperative members priorities: cheaper for rider members and better wages for driver members.
Fairbnb.coop is an online marketplace and hospitality service for people to lease or rent short-term lodging. Foremost, it is also a community of activists, coders, researchers and designers working to create the platform to enable hosts and guests to connect for travel and cultural exchange, while minimizing the cost to communities. It is an alternative to commercial platforms.
Fairmondo is an online marketplace for ethical goods and services, that originated from Germany and has expanded to the UK. Joining as a stakeholder is open for all and the minimum share is limited to an affordable amount, with stakeholders exercising a democratic control through one-member-one-vote principle. It is a cooperative alternative to Amazon and eBay.
Green Taxi Cooperative is the largest taxi company in the Denver metro area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siae%20Microelettronica | Siae Microelettronica is an Italian multinational corporation and a global supplier of telecom network equipment. It provides wireless backhaul and fronthaul solutions that comprise microwave and millimeter wave radio systems, along with fiber optics transmission systems provided by its subsidiary SM Optics.
The company is headquartered in Milan, Italy, with 26 regional offices around the globe.
Corporate history
1952–1970s: Origins and initial growth
Edoardo Mascetti, after graduating in 1949 in Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan and working as electronic designer for Siemens, founded his company and named it SIAE, acronym for Società Italiana Apparecchiature Elettroniche The company manufactured measurement systems such as electro-mechanical testers, analog oscilloscopes, telephone system analyzers and signal generators.
A 431A-model oscilloscope by SIAE was also part of the synthesizer in the Studio di fonologia musicale di Radio Milano (RAI) until its dismissal in 1983 and is currently on permanent display with the original study equipment at the Musical Instrument museum hosted at the Castello Sforzesco, Milan.
A few years after founding SIAE, Edoardo Mascetti co-founded in 1958 Microelettronica S.p.A., a company whose business was the design of telecommunication equipment for radio and landline systems and which was initially located in a basement in Milan. In 1963, the two complementary companies were merged into Siae Microelettronica S.p.A. and the headquarters was moved to the nearby town of Cologno Monzese, where a larger area was available to accommodate the new offices and manufacturing plant.
The new company counted less than 50 employees and focused its business on telecommunication systems, which were rising thanks to the capillary diffusion of telephone systems in Italy. Analog multiplexing systems for telephone providers constituted the company's principal product; nonetheless, in 1963, the company began an active collaboration with ENEL, an Italian provider of electric power, in order to create a supervision system for the national distribution network, whose successful outcome later fostered similar activities in northern Europe and specifically in Norway.
By the mid '60s, the company began growing due to its first large-scale commercialized radio transceiver: the 3-channel 3-B3 and later the RT450 (1966), capable of aggregating 48 channels into UHF band. The RT450 equipment was also certified by :it:Telettra under the commercial name H450 as a fallback link for its high-capacity solutions. Power-line communication systems were also manufactured by the company in those years along with the first fixed and mobile communication terminals in VHF band (1972) for vehicular communications (predating modern mobile phones) and anti burglar alarm systems.
By 1973, a new internal division was created for the design of television broadcasting equipment (repeaters and transmitters) whose main customer was |

Gameplay
The object of the game is to solve a case. Cases are solved in a point-and-click interface. The other goal is that prove worthy for a law firm. Information about the case must be gathered. When ready, the case is taken to court. During court, there is a choice of whom to speak to and which evidence to give. The first such case is called "The Wrathful Race" involving a man accused of vehicular homicide. The judge may, for example, allow a continuance in order for the defense to gather evidence, but 9 hours (this is simulated elapsed time and not actual elapsed time) may be the maximum time allowed to review evidence and interview the widow, the medical examiner, a private investigator, etc. before the case will be brought to court. The judge will typically not allow the player, acting as the defense, to object to a statement by the prosecution if he or she is permitted to establish the evidence and the date and time the alleged crime was committed. A defense composed merely of an assertion by the defendant that the victim was a bad driver and died due to his own negligence, is usually insufficient, because it does not refute that the defendant knew about the accident and willingly left the scene.
The instruction manual which came with the game also advised users on what numbers to call in order to gather the necessary evidence in the allotted time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survios | Survios is an American virtual reality game developer and software publisher based in Los Angeles, California. The company develops virtual reality software and games, including the titles Raw Data and Sprint Vector. Survios was created by graduates from the University of Southern California's Mixed Reality Lab, where they worked together on Project Holodeck. The company has raised over $54 million in venture funding led by Shasta Ventures, Lux Capital and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
History - Origins and Holodeck
In March 2012, motivated by a shared vision of what VR home entertainment can and should be—active and social—University of Southern California students Nathan Burba, James Iliff, Graham Matuszewski and Alex Silkin launched Project Holodeck. Together, they built the first full-body and portable VR system and developed Wild Skies, a co-op tech demo featuring Active VR gameplay, full-body tracking, and avatar embodiment.
In 2013, the students officially founded Survios and began demoing its first virtual reality project, Zombies on the Holodeck, a noir, horde-based survival shooter demoed on a prototype Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) that used a variety of tracking devices for improved immersion, including PlayStation Move controllers and Razer Hydra controllers from Sixense. The project won three Proto Awards for ‘Best Overall Experience’, ‘Most Transportive’ and ‘Best Interaction Design’. In 2014, Survios secured $4 million in funding from Shasta Ventures, Mavent Partners, World Innovation Lab, and Felicis Ventures, allowing the studio to continue developing virtual reality content and technology.
Raw Data and Active VR
Survios announced its first game, Raw Data, in December 2015 for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The game features a variety of weapons for players to use against hordes of robotic enemies and touted interactive environments and destructible objects. It also included full-body positional tracking, avatar embodiment, and cooperative multiplayer. Prior to release, the media praised Raw Data for its immersive gameplay experience, which TechCrunch hailed as "Perhaps the most advanced first person shooter in VR." After months of event demos and alpha tests, Survios released Raw Data on Steam Early Access for HTC Vive in July 2016. A version for Oculus Rift+Touch was added shortly thereafter with support for cross-platform co-op.
Raw Data was the first VR game to reach $1 million in sales one month after its early access release as well as the first VR game to become a #1 Top Seller on Steam across all games. In addition to its financial success, Raw Data also garnered critical acclaim.
Expansion and Growth in VR
In 2016, MGM and Lux Capital joined Shasta Ventures, Danhua Capital, Shanda Holdings Felicis Ventures and Dentsu Ventures in two rounds of funding for Survios, which provided $50 million to resume development on projects and further expansion. In January 2017, the company announced Raw Data Arcade, an exclusive v |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI%20Bridging%20Cloud%20Infrastructure | AI Bridging Cloud Infrastructure (ABCI) is a planned supercomputer being built at the University of Tokyo for use in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. It is being built by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. ABCI is expected to be completed in first quarter 2018 with a planned performance of 130 petaFLOPS. Power consumption is targeting 3 megawatts, and a planned power usage effectiveness of 1.1. If performance meets expectations, ABCI would be the second most powerful supercomputer built, surpassing the current leader Sunway TaihuLight's 93 petaflops. But still behind the Summit (supercomputer).
History
In November 2014 it was announced that a 160 petaFLOPS system will be built for ( – ), with construction to begin in 2017.
In October 2017 Fujitsu got the contract to build a 37 petaFLOPS system for .
Design
The design of the ABCI is to be focused on low precision floating point, big data, and artificial intelligence applications; rather than Linpack performance.
Projects
The ABCI is planned to be available to Japanese corporations, small businesses, and researchers; reducing their dependence on foreign cloud computing providers such as Microsoft and Google.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutebrowser | qutebrowser (pronounced "cute browser" ) is a QTwebengine-web browser for Linux, Windows, and macOS operating systems with Vim-style key bindings and a minimal GUI. It is keyboard-driven and is inspired by similar software such as Vimperator and dwb. It uses DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. qutebrowser is included in the native repositories of Linux distributions such as Fedora and Arch Linux. qutebrowser is developed by Florian Bruhin, for which he received a CH Open Source award in 2016.
Functionality
As in Vim and vi, the browser has a command mode and an insert mode. In command mode key bindings can be used to perform functions, for example: 'G' to go to the bottom of a page, and 'gg' to the top. Specific commands can also be bound to keys or key-sequences by the user.
A cheat sheet of all key bindings can be found here and they can be trained here.
qutebrowser is both written in and configured in Python. Through the configuration file custom functionality can be added, including custom key bindings, per-site settings, and arbitrary Python code that can interact with your browser or your system.
Since version 2.0.0, qutebrowser supports blocking ads using the python adblock library. For users that don't have the adblock library installed or use an older version of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in adblocker can be used and modified using the blocked-hosts file that comes with qutebrowser.
Security
In July 2018, it was found that all versions of qutebrowser prior to 1.4.1 have a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allowed websites to change qutebrowser settings and, via settings like , possibly execute arbitrary code. This was fixed in version 1.4.1; backported patches are available for prior versions.
