https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associativity-based%20routing | Associativity-based routing (commonly known as ABR) is a mobile routing protocol invented for wireless ad hoc networks, also known as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless mesh networks. ABR was invented in 1993, filed for a U.S. patent in 1996, and granted the patent in 1999. ABR was invented by Chai Keong Toh while doing his Ph.D. at Cambridge University.
Route discovery phase
ABR has three phases. The first phase is the route discovery phase. When a user initiates to transmit data, the protocol will intercept the request and broadcast a search packet over the wireless interfaces. As the search packet propagates node to node, node identity and stability information are appended to the packet. When the packet eventually reaches the destination node, it would have received all the information describing the path from source to destination. When that happens, the destination then chooses the best route (because there may be more than one path from the source to the destination) and sends a REPLY back to the source node, over the chosen path.
Note that when the packet transits backwards from destination to the source, each intermediate node will update their routing table, signifying that it will now know how to route when it receives data from the upstream node. When the source node receives the REPLY, the route is successfully discovered and established. This process is done in real-time and only takes a few milli-seconds.
Route reconstruction phase
ABR establishes routes that are long-lived or associativity-stable, thus most routes established will seldom experience link breaks; however, if one or more links are broken, their ABR will immediately invoke the RRC – route reconstruction phase. The RRC basically repairs the broken link by having the upstream node (which senses the link break) perform a localized route repair. The localized route repair is performed by carrying out a localized broadcast query that searches for an alternative long-lived partial route to the destination.
ABR route maintenance consists of:
(a) partial route discovery,
(b) invalid route erasure,
(c) valid route update, and
(d) new route discovery (worse case).
Route deletion phase
When a discovered route is no longer needed, a RD (Route Delete) packet will be initiated by the source node so that all intermediate nodes in the route will update their routing table entries and stop relay data packets associated with this deleted route.
In addition to using RD to delete a route, ABR can also implement a soft state approach where route entries are expired or invalidated after timed out, when there is no traffic activity related to the route over a period of time.
Practicality
In 1998, ABR was successfully implemented into the Linux kernel, in various different branded laptops (IBM Thinkpad, COMPAQ, Toshiba, etc.) that are equipped with WaveLAN 802.11a PCMCIA wireless adapters. A working 6-node wide wireless ad hoc network spanning a distance of over 600 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWR%20Symphonieorchester | The SWR Symphonieorchester (Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra) is a radio orchestra affiliated with the Südwestrundfunk (Southwest German Radio) public broadcasting network. Formed in 2016, the orchestra is administratively based in Stuttgart. The artistic director of the orchestra is Johannes Bultmann, and the current managing director is Felix Fischer. The orchestra's chief conductor is Teodor Currentzis.
Venues
The SWR Symphonieorchester gives concerts in several German cities and concert halls. Its principal cities and concert venues are as follows:
Stuttgart (Liederhalle; Theaterhaus; Wilhelmatheater)
Freiburg im Breisgau (Konzerthaus, E-Werk)
Mannheim (Rosengarten)
The orchestra also performs in other German cities and venues, including the following:
Karlsruhe (Konzerthaus; Hochschule fur Gestaltung)
Ulm (Congress Centrum)
Dortmund (Konzerthaus)
Donaueschingen (Baarsporthalle)
History
The two precursor ensembles to the SWR Symphonieorchester were the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra, the latter based in Baden-Baden and Freiburg. The Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra, in particular, had a specific reputation for its performances of contemporary music. In June 2012, the SWR Broadcasting Council voted to approve a measure proposed by SWR Intendant Peter Boudgoust to merge the two orchestras, for ostensible reasons of budgetary limitations for two separate orchestras affiliated with the SWR. The SWR Broadcasting Council formally passed the measure in September 2012, with the merger of the two orchestras scheduled for 2016.
The formation of the new orchestra, under the new name of the SWR Symphonieorchester, produced an ensemble in 2016 with a complement of 175 musicians drawn from the two previous orchestras. The eventual goal is to attain a roster of 119 musicians. The new orchestra gave its first concert on 22 September 2016 in Stuttgart at the Liederhalle, under the direction of Péter Eötvös.
The orchestra did not have a chief conductor at the time of its founding. Sylvain Cambreling had been offered the post of chief conductor of the new orchestra, but declined on principle, in protest at the merger of the two precursor orchestras into the new ensemble. In April 2017, the SWR announced the appointment of Teodor Currentzis as the first chief conductor of the orchestra, effective with the 2018–2019 season. In September 2021, the SWR announced a 3-year extension to Currentzis' contract as chief conductor of the orchestra. Currentzis is scheduled to stand down as the orchestra's chief conductor at the close of the 2024-2025 season.
In July 2020, François-Xavier Roth first guest-conducted the orchestra. He returned to the orchestra for a subsequent guest-conducting engagement in June 2021. In September 2022, the SWR announced the appointment of Roth as the orchestra's next chief conductor, effective with the 2025-2026 season, with an initial contract of 5 years |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurse%20Center | The Recurse Center (formerly known as Hacker School; also called RC) is an independent educational institution, that, until the COVID-19 pandemic, combined a retreat for computer programmers with a recruiting agency. The retreat is an intentional community, a self-directed academic environment for programmers of all levels to improve their skills in, without charge. There is no curriculum and no particular programming languages or paradigms are institutionally favored; instead, participants work on open-source projects of their own choice, alone or collaboratively, as they see best. The Center has been an active advocate for women in programming. Since 2020 all programs have been conducted online.
History
The Center was initially founded in the Summer of 2010 as Hackruiter, an engineering recruiting company, using seed money from Y Combinator. The idea quickly arose of trying to transform recruiting for start-ups by running a retreat as part of the process, with the goal of helping clients become better programmers.
It officially opened its doors as “Hacker School” in New York in July, 2011, obliquely anticipating the coding bootcamp movement that arose in the mid-2010s. Hacker School came to wide public attention in mid-2012, when it partnered with the e-commerce company Etsy to offer “Hacker Grants” in support of female developers.
A number of companies soon joined Etsy in funding these grants, and in 2014 the grant program expanded to offer support to other groups not well represented in American technology industries.
In 2015 Hacker School was renamed the Recurse Center.
Business model
The programming retreat is free of charge for admitted applicants to attend. The organization itself is for-profit and supports itself through recruitment, by placing some participants in programming jobs. It has recruiting partnerships with Airtable, Notion, Hudson River Trading, Jane Street, OpenAI, and more. In 2014 the retreat reached the "tipping point" of self-sufficiency purely from recruiting income.
Internal costs to the company have been reported at "nearly $12,000" for each participant.
The Center does not publish statistics on its admission rate, although there is no published rule against reapplication.
Educational philosophy and name
There is no curriculum; each participant imposes their own structure for self-directed learning on their stay at the Recurse Center, with guidance as requested. Despite its original name ”Hacker School“, the Recurse Center is not a school — its model of self-directed learning was inspired by the Unschooling philosophy of John Holt (1923–1985).
Nor does it have any connection to the popular notion of a hacker as someone who breaks into computer systems — rather, “hacker” here was intended to suggest a programmer who is technically resourceful but also supportive of other programmers.
In 2015 the organization changed its name to the Recurse Center to avoid confusion over these matters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20route%20E1%20in%20Ireland | The European route E1 in the Republic of Ireland is a series of roads, part of the International E-road network running in a north south axis on the Irish east coast. It runs through five counties starting on the British border with the province of Northern Ireland at Dundalk, coming from Belfast and Larne. It passes the capital Dublin until it stops at Rosslare Harbour in the South-East of the island of Ireland. From there the E1 crosses the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay on a non-existent ferry towards Spain and Portugal.
Route
The E1 comes from Northern Ireland when it crosses the border at Dundalk where the British A1 road changes to the Irish N1 road until northern Dundalk. It then follows the M1 motorway to Drogheda and eventually the capital Dublin. After using the M50 ring road around Dublin, the E1 uses the N11 road and M11 motorway passing Bray, Wicklow, Gorey and Enniscorthy to Wexford. The last part is the N25 road towards Rosslare Harbour. The E1 covers a total distance of 266 km (165 mi) in the Republic of Ireland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIE%20of%20One | HIE of One is a free software project developing tools for patients to manage their own health records. HIE stands for Health Information Exchange, an electronic network for sharing health information across different organizations, hospitals, providers, and patients. This is one of a growing number of tools for encrypted data exchange within the healthcare sphere.
Journalist Doc Searls claims that a major structural problem with health care in the United States is that it is paid for by insurance companies and not patients, thus robbing patients of the power they would normally have as customers in a free market. Searls writes that the best approach I have seen so far to this challenge is HIE of One, a project of two MDs, Adrian Gropper and Michael Chen." He notes that HIE of One provides a patient-centered toolkit built around open source software and open data exchange standards. Prof. Phillip Windley, former Chief Information Officer of the State of Utah, has noted the positive impact that HIE of One could have on privacy and consent.
A proposal for using HIE of One, in conjunction with blockchain technology, was reviewed by the US Office of the National Coordinator (ONC), winning an award from the ONC on the basis that the proposal was innovative, viable, and significant.
The project rests on the premise that patients should authorize the sharing of their own health data, instead of leaving these decisions up to hospitals and other healthcare providers, who offer generic and opaque disclosure forms. The elements of sharing health data can be broken down into storage, authorization, and transmission. HIE of One has decentralization solutions for each of these elements and provides an open platform on which far more capabilities can be built, such as decision support, analytics, public health efforts, and coordinated health care.
Background and name
For most of their medical histories, doctors shared minimal information about patients. Before the computer age, a doctor might have a phone conversation with a specialist before sending over a patient or send a few pages of a Continuity of Care Document (CCD) to the next healthcare provider or nursing facility. Many important aspects of treatment were dropped along the way, leading to suboptimal outcomes and duplication of work.
The advent of electronic records theoretically enabled much better care coordination, and the field of health information exchange (HIE) grew up around electronic records. Data sharing currently revolves around large, expensive organizations called Health Information Exchanges and industry-led efforts such as CommonWell. However, such data exchanges have made slow progress, as found in a literature survey by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Studies cited by that survey found the HIEs hard to use. An official 2016 government study found uneven progress, with a few states succeeding and many lagging.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%20United%20States%20presidential%20election%20recounts | Following Republican nominee Donald Trump's presumed electoral college victory in the United States presidential election of 2016, a group of computer scientists, cyber security experts, and election monitors raised concerns about the integrity of the election results. They urged the campaign staff of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who had conceded the campaign on November 9, to petition for a recount in three key states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. When the Clinton campaign declined to file for recounts, Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein agreed to spearhead the recount effort on November 23, on the grounds that unspecified "anomalies" may have affected the election's outcome. The Clinton team subsequently pledged to support the recount efforts "in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides." President-elect Trump and his supporters filed legal motions in all three states to prevent the recounts. Two other states were the subject of recount bids that were separate from Stein's efforts in the Rust Belt states: American Delta Party/Reform Party presidential candidate Rocky De La Fuente filed for a partial recount in Nevada on November 30, and three Florida citizens filed for a complete hand recount in their state on December 6.
In accordance with the Electoral Count Act, all states must certify and submit their final election results to the electoral college six days before the college meets. Under this "safe harbor" provision, any recount efforts for the 2016 election had to be completed before the deadline of December 13, 2016. The recount in Nevada went forward and were completed on schedule, resulting in only minor changes to vote tallies. Wisconsin permitted individual counties to decide whether to provide paper ballots for recount or merely to rerun the same computer totals. A recount in Michigan was allowed to proceed for three days before being halted by court order, and a federal lawsuit to compel a recount in Pennsylvania was dismissed. While the partial Michigan recount did unearth some instances of improper ballot handling and possible voter fraud, no indications of widespread hacking were discovered, and the overall outcome of the election remained unchanged, despite the evidence that the voting machines were old and faulty, possibly counting as "blank" ballots many that contained visually clear indications of presidential choice.
Background
After the election, a group of prominent computer scientists and election lawyers including J. Alex Halderman, (director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society) and John Bonifaz, (founder of the National Voting Rights Institute) began studying the election results and found statistical anomalies. For example, Clinton's votes were 7% lower than expected in counties that used electronic voting machines to tally votes, as opposed to using paper ballots and optical scan voting systems; in Wisconsin, there was a |

His publication of EDUNET in 1967 presaged the details and rise of the early internet. The concept of fictitious play in game theory is due to him.
Biography
Brown received his S.B in 1937 and his S.M in 1938, both from Harvard University. He then moved to Princeton University and was awarded his Ph.D. there in 1940 under advisor Samuel Wilks. After graduation he was initially unable to get a job in academia due to the anti-semitism of the time, and his first job was in the research division of R. H. Macy & Co. (now Macy's Department Store) where he did statistical studies of the store's operations and met his first wife, Bobbie. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he returned to Princeton to work on military research projects (he first tried to enlist in the navy but was turned down due to his color blindness). In 1944 he moved to the RCA Labs, still in Princeton, and joined the group of Jan A. Rajchman where he helped design the Selectron tube, an early form of digital computer memory. During this time he also contributed to the IAS machine under John von Neumann with whom he would later collaborate on theoretical topics as well.
In 1946 he was finally granted a tenure-track professorial role at Iowa State University as an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, alongside his long time friend and colleague Alexander Mood. By 1947 he had been granted a full professorship but decided to leave for the RAND Corporation to become chief of their Numerical Analysis Department in 1948. It was at RAND that he began the JOHNNIAC project, named after John von Neumann, and based on the IAS machine and selectron tube memory. Due to his familiarity with the IAS machine and other early computers he worked as a consultant for IBM and other early computing companies. During this time he was also a Visiting Professor of Engineering and Mathematics at UCLA.
After a foray into early pay television with Telemeter (pay television), he became the first director of the Western Data Processing Center at UCLA in 1957 and with that a professor in, and head of, the Dept. of Business Administration (later to become the School of Management). This shift to administration was due to IBM's offer to provide a free large-scale high-speed computer to UCLA, if they would employ Brown as the director of the computer laboratory. He was also attracted to this arrangement because of his disillusionment with the usual process by which universities acquired their first computers, saying "...look into how universities financed their participation with computers and y |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold%20Ferdinand%20Arnold | Arnold Ferdinand Arnold (February 6, 1921 – January 20, 2012) was an author, game designer and cyberneticist, known more for the fame of his relatives and wives in later life. His first and only legal wife, Eve Arnold, was known for photography. His second partner, who he never married, was writer Gail E. Haley. Arnold's two brothers-in-law were Theodor Gaster and Peter Drucker.
Early life in Germany
Arnold, born Arnold F. Schmitz, was born into one of Germany's oldest Jewish families. His grandfather had founded one of Germany's oldest department stores, in Mainz, Kaufhaus Lahnstein. The management of the store was taken over by Arnold's uncle – Carl Lahnstein who became the geschäftsfuhrer upon Julius's death, and which Arnold was to take over as the only surviving male of the next generation and son of Carl's only surviving sister.
Education
After fleeing Nazi Germany less than a week after Hitler came to power, Arnold was educated in the UK at Bedales School. He later attended St. Martin's School of Art before moving to the United States.
Career
Arnold followed his eldest sister to the United States where he gained work as a writer and cartoonist. He was drafted into the U.S. military in 1941, and after training in South Carolina, was sent to France as a member of the 101st Division. Badly wounded after his jeep ran over a German landmine, he returned to New York where he settled down to married life with Eve.
By the 1950s, Arnold was well established in the New York literary world. He taught at the New School, had a one-man show at MOMA, and published his first book at Ballentine Books. He knew Ian Ballantine well and essentially became a substitute father to Ian's only child and son Richard Ballantine. The success of the book, How To Play With Your Child, which sold over 100,000 initial copies, established Arnold as an author, and allowed the family to buy a house in Long Island Sound.
Arnold was also a successful and well known advertising and commercial designer, and created the famous Parker Brothers swirl logo, first used in 1964. He created and designed many innovative educational and teaching games for leading game designers through the 1960s. He also designed classical record covers for EPIC Records during the 1950s.
Arnold and Gail had two children. Arnold had by this time established himself as a national columnist with the Chicago Tribune with a weekly column on childrearing called "Parents and Their Children."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick%2C%20Draw%21 | Quick, Draw! is an online game developed by Google that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses a neural network artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent. The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in the future. The game is similar to Pictionary in that the player only has a limited time to draw (20 seconds). The concepts that it guesses can be simple, like 'foot', or more complicated, like 'animal migration'.
In a game of Quick, Draw!, there are six rounds. During each round, the player is given 20 seconds to draw a random prompt selected from the game's database whilst the artificial intelligence attempts to guess the drawing, akin to a game of Pictionary. A round ends either when the artificial intelligence successfully guesses the drawing or the player runs out of time.
At the end of a Quick, Draw! game, the player is given their drawings and results for each round. They can also view the artificial intelligence's comparisons of their work with other player-given drawings, before either quitting or replaying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn%20restriction%20routing | A routing algorithm decides the path followed by a packet from the source to destination routers in a network. An important aspect to be considered while designing a routing algorithm is avoiding a deadlock. Turn restriction routing is a routing algorithm for mesh-family of topologies which avoids deadlocks by restricting the types of turns that are allowed in the algorithm while determining the route from source node to destination node in a network.
Reason for deadlock
A deadlock (shown in fig 1) is a situation in which no further transportation of packets can take place due to the saturation of network resources like buffers or links. The main reason for a deadlock is the cyclic acquisition of channels in the network. For example, consider there are four channels in a network. Four packets have filled up the input buffers of these four channels and needs to be forwarded to the next channel. Now assume that the output buffers of all these channels are also filled with packets that need to be transmitted to the next channel. If these four channels form a cycle, it is impossible to transmit packets any further because the output buffers and input buffers of all channels are already full. This is known as cyclic acquisition of channels and this results in a deadlock.
Solution to deadlock
Deadlocks can either be detected, broken or avoided from happening altogether. Detecting and breaking deadlocks in the network is expensive in terms of latency and resources. So an easy and inexpensive solution is to avoid deadlocks by choosing routing techniques that prevent cyclic acquisition of channels.
Logic behind turn restriction routing
Logic behind turn restriction routing derives from a key observation. A cyclic acquisition of channels can take place only if all the four possible clockwise (or anti-clockwise) turns have occurred. This means deadlocks can be avoided by prohibiting at least one of the clockwise turns and one of the anti-clockwise turns. All the clockwise and anti-clockwise turns that are possible in a non restricted routing algorithm are shown in fig 2.
Examples of turn restriction routing
A turn restriction routing can be obtained by prohibiting at least one of the four possible clockwise turns and at least one of the four possible anti-clockwise turns in the routing algorithm. This means there are at least 16 (4x4) possible turn restriction routing techniques as you have 4 clockwise turns and 4 anti-clockwise turns to choose from. Some of these techniques have been listed below.
Dimension-ordered (X-Y) routing
Dimension ordered (X-Y) routing (shown in fig 3) restricts all turns from y-dimension to x-dimension. This prohibits two anti-clockwise and two clockwise turns which is more than what is actually required. Even then since it restricts the number of turns that are allowed we can tell that this is an example for turn restriction routing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube%20internetwork%20topology | In computer networking, hypercube networks are a type of network topology used to connect multiple processors with memory modules and accurately route data. Hypercube networks consist of nodes, which form the vertices of squares to create an internetwork connection. A hypercube is basically a multidimensional mesh network with two nodes in each dimension. Due to similarity, such topologies are usually grouped into a -ary -dimensional mesh topology family, where represents the number of dimensions and represents the number of nodes in each dimension.
Topology
Hypercube interconnection network is formed by connecting N nodes that can be expressed as a power of 2. This means if the network has N nodes it can be expressed as :
where m is the number of bits that are required to label the nodes in the network. So, if there are 4 nodes in the network, 2 bits are needed to represent all the nodes in the network. The network is constructed by connecting the nodes that just differ by one bit in their binary representation. This is commonly referred to as Binary labelling. A 3D hypercube internetwork would be a cube with 8 nodes and 12 edges. A 4D hypercube network can be created by duplicating two 3D networks, and adding a most significant bit. The new added bit should be ‘0’ for one 3D hypercube and ‘1’ for the other 3D hypercube. The corners of the respective one-bit changed MSBs are connected to create the higher hypercube network. This method can be used to construct any m-bit represented hypercube with (m-1)-bit represented hypercube.
E-Cube Routing
Routing method for a hypercube network is referred to as E-Cube routing. The distance between two nodes in the network can be given by Hamming weight of (number of ones in) the XOR-operation between their respective binary labels.
The distance between Node 1 (represented as ‘01’) and Node 2 (represented as ‘10’) in the network given by:
E-Cube routing is a static routing method that employs XY-routing algorithm. This is commonly referred to as Deterministic, Dimension Ordered Routing model. E-Cube routing works by traversing the network in the kth dimension where k is the least significant non-zero bit in the result of calculating distance.
For example, let the sender's label be ‘00’ and the receiver's label be ‘11’. So, the distance between them is 11 and the least significant non-zero bit is the LSB bit. Figuring out which way to go for a ‘0’ or ‘1’ is determined by XY routing algorithm.
Metrics
Different measures of performance are used to evaluate the efficiency of a hypercube network connection against various other network topologies.
Degree
This defines the number of immediately adjacent nodes to a particular node. These nodes should be immediate neighbors. In case of a hypercube the degree is m.
Diameter
This defines the maximum number of nodes that a message must pass through on its way from the source to the destination. This basically gives us the delay in transmitting a message |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly%20network | A butterfly network is a technique to link multiple computers into a high-speed network. This form of multistage interconnection network topology can be used to connect different nodes in a multiprocessor system. The interconnect network for a shared memory multiprocessor system must have low latency and high bandwidth unlike other network systems, like local area networks (LANs) or internet for three reasons:
Messages are relatively short as most messages are coherence protocol requests and responses without data.
Messages are generated frequently because each read-miss or write-miss generates messages to every node in the system to ensure coherence. Read/write misses occur when the requested data is not in the processor's cache and must be fetched either from memory or from another processor's cache.
Messages are generated frequently, therefore rendering it difficult for the processors to hide the communication delay.
Components
The major components of an interconnect network are:
Processor nodes, which consist of one or more processors along with their caches, memories and communication assist.
Switching nodes (Router), which connect communication assist of different processor nodes in a system. In multistage topologies, higher level switching nodes connect to lower level switching nodes as shown in figure 1, where switching nodes in rank 0 connect to processor nodes directly while switching nodes in rank 1 connect to switching nodes in rank 0.
Links, which are physical wires between two switching nodes. They can be uni-directional or bi-directional.
These multistage networks have lower cost than a cross bar, but obtain lower contention than a bus. The ratio of switching nodes to processor nodes is greater than one in a butterfly network. Such topology, where the ratio of switching nodes to processor nodes is greater than one, is called an indirect topology.
The network derives its name from connections between nodes in two adjacent ranks (as shown in figure 1), which resembles a butterfly. Merging top and bottom ranks into a single rank, creates a Wrapped Butterfly Network. In figure 1, if rank 3 nodes are connected back to respective rank 0 nodes, then it becomes a wrapped butterfly network.
BBN Butterfly, a massive parallel computer built by Bolt, Beranek and Newman in the 1980s, used a butterfly interconnect network. Later in 1990, Cray Research's machine Cray C90, used a butterfly network to communicate between its 16 processors and 1024 memory banks.
Butterfly network building
For a butterfly network with p processor nodes, there need to be p(log2 p + 1) switching nodes. Figure 1 shows a network with 8 processor nodes, which implies 32 switching nodes. It represents each node as N(rank, column number). For example, the node at column 6 in rank 1 is represented as (1,6) and node at column 2 in rank 0 is represented as (0,2).
For any 'i' greater than zero, a switching node N(i,j) gets connected to N(i-1, j |

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2016–17 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule, on May 14, 2017, followed by Fox on May 15, ABC on May 16, CBS on May 17, and The CW on May 18, 2017. NBC adjusted its schedule on May 30, 2017.
PBS is not included; member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules consist of syndicated reruns (with limited original programming on the latter). The CW does not air network programming on weekend nights. However, they would return to programming a two-hour Sunday night schedule the following season.
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Note: From February 7 to February 25, 2018, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quid%20Inc. | Quid, Inc. is a private software and services company, specializing in text-based data analysis. Quid software can read millions of documents (e.g. news articles, blog posts, company profiles, and patents) and offers insight by organizing that content visually.
Quid clients have historically included technology companies and research teams who use Quid market landscapes to analyze investment trends, gain competitive intelligence, and map innovation. It has since expanded its customer base to serve large corporations in healthcare, consulting, finance, industrials, consumer goods, advertising/marketing, as well as government organizations.
In 2013, Quid was named by Fast Company as one of the World's Top 10 Most Innovative companies in Big Data. In 2016, World Economic Forum presented Quid with their Technology Pioneers award and IDC (International Data Corporation) named Quid a Top Innovator for the 2016 U.S. Financial Compliance and Risk Analytics Market.
The company is based in San Francisco with offices in New York City and London.
Quid, Inc. merged with the social analytics company NetBase on January 28, 2020.
Customers
The media has cited a handful of notable Quid clients including the Boston Consulting Group, the Department of Defense, the UN Global Pulse +, various political campaigns, and the Knight Foundation.
Applications
The Press
Quid is often used by publications for its data analysis and visualizations. For example, Fast Company (magazine) leveraged Quid to pick its annual Most Innovative Companies list.
Other examples include Fortune analyzing VC funding trends, The Atlantic reporting coincidences collected by a University of Cambridge professor, VentureBeat analyzing the media's backlash of Uber, Wired diving into the language used at Presidential party conventions, and more from outlets such as the Economist, the New York Times, Forbes, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Criticism
In 2010, TechCrunch asked: “Does Quid have the most pretentious website of any startup ever?” The jab followed a debate on Quora discussing the website's use of Latin, arcane typefaces, and an overly academic tone. The company has since updated its website.

It is produced by DHX Media and Sony Pictures Animation in association with Corus. Based on the children's book and the film series of the same name, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is the first television series to be produced by Sony Pictures Animation and was animated using Toon Boom Harmony.
The series officially premiered in the United States on March 6, 2017, on Cartoon Network, with a sneak peek airing on February 20, 2017. After an unsuccessful run, the show moved to Boomerang's SVOD service, where it debuted on January 11, 2018. In Canada, the series was originally planned to air on Teletoon, but instead premiered on YTV on April 6, 2017. On February 2, 2018, DHX Media announced the series has been picked up for a second season.
The entire first season is available on Netflix in the United Kingdom, Europe and in the United States. On January 24, 2020, the show was removed from Boomerang's streaming service app.
Plot
The series is a prequel, featuring the high school years of Flint Lockwood, the eccentric young scientist in the films. In his adventures, he is joined by Sam Sparks, a new girl in town and the school's "wannabe" reporter, along with Flint's dad Tim, Steve the Monkey, Manny as the head of the school's audiovisual club (among other professions), Earl as a school gym teacher, Brent still riding on his fame as from the sardine commercial, and Mayor Shelbourne, who serves as the school principal, and who wins every Mayoral election on the pro-sardine platform.
The show clarifies that when Flint and Sam met in their adulthood in the first film, it was not their first meeting. They first met and became friends in high school. In the first episode, Flint says that if Sam ever has to move away from Swallow Falls, he will invent a memory eraser, as she had moved around frequently and did not want the memory of another lost friendship to sadden her.
This show also features Mayor Shelbourne's werewolf form, appearing in the Halloween episode "Mayornormal Activity".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob%20Goodson | Bob Goodson is a British technologist, entrepreneur, and UX designer. The CEO of Quid Inc., an artificial intelligence company, Goodson studied medieval literature at Oxford University, and co-founded Quid based on his interest in applying language theory to semantic search.
Early life and education
Goodson grew up in West Beckham Norfolk, England. He taught himself to program as a child, and started writing programs for video games at 8. In 1998, as he completed his final year of high school, he received a Norfolk Scholars Award, which recognizes high achieving students from backgrounds traditionally less likely to go to university.
Goodson began college in 1999 at the University of East Anglia. He graduated with honors in 2002 with a degree in English literature and philosophy. He subsequently received a scholarship from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Board, one of only 10 scholarships in the country available in his field, and began postgraduate studies in medieval literature and language theory at University College, Oxford. His graduate research focused on the analysis of medieval cento.
Goodson had started several businesses before he began college, and while at UEA, he started a yoga club, a design company, Inspired, and a publishing company, Prana. In 2002, Goodson co-founded Oxford Entrepreneurs, a student society designed to connect scientists with business-minded students to support and facilitate entrepreneurship. He served as the organization's founding chairman.
In November 2003, PayPal co-founder Max Levchin and other Silicon Valley executives spoke at an Oxford Entrepreneurs event. At a dinner Goodson hosted for the speakers, Levchin discussed the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Valley. Goodson, then 23, saw an opportunity to bring his interests in language, technology, and business together. "Blown away by learning about those businesses," Goodson flew to Palo Alto, where he had lunch with Levchin and Peter Thiel. Levchin offered him a job as the lead designer within a startup incubator, and six months after their initial meeting at Oxford, Goodson took a sabbatical and moved to San Francisco.
Career
In April 2004, Goodson began working with Levchin at Midtown Doornail (an anagram of World Domination) as a product manager. An investment company and incubator, Midtown Doornail helped to create several successful internet companies, including Yelp. In September 2004, Goodson became Yelp's first employee. He remained at the company for four years, serving in various roles related to product management, UX and UI design and business development.
In September 2007, Goodson founded YouNoodle with Kirill Makharinsky, an Oxford-trained mathematician, and Rebecca Hwang, an MIT graduate and Stanford Ph.D. candidate in network theory. The company was first funded by Levchin, Thiel's Founders Fund, and Charles Lho, among others. Collecting data on 3,000 companies through venture capitalists and academic research to identify |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angliss%20Hospital | Angliss Hospital is a public hospital in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia, located on the corner of Albert Street and Talaskia Road. The hospital is a member of the Eastern Health network, and is located near a number of medical facilities that support the hospital, such as Angliss House and Chandler House.
History
The hospital was originally named William Angliss Hospital and then changed to Angliss Hospital. It was established in 1939 and named after Sir William Charles Angliss, a respected local politician and philanthropist who contributed financially to the hospital's foundation. The Angliss family continued to play a significant role in the hospitals growth and management, well into the 20th Century. In 1945 a decision was made to relocate the hospital due to increased demand, and in 1958, Lady Angliss opened the hospital in its now present location. Funding from the Angliss' charitable foundation allowed for the hospital to build an additional 27 beds in 1965. In 2010 the hospital celebrated the 85,000th birth to have occurred at the hospital.
Facilities
The Angliss Hospital is considered a medium metropolitan hospital by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and has an Emergency Department, Radiology, Midwifery, Intensive Care, Obstetric, Paediatric and Rehabilitation departments. In addition to these facilities, the hospital operates the aged care facility located on adjacent Edward Street. The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Angliss Hospital was completed in 2018, at a cost of $20 million, adding 14 intensive care beds to the hospital as well as a new short-stay expansion of the hospital's emergency department.
Future expansion
In 2018, the recently re-elected Andrews government pledged to expand the hospital with an additional 25 hospital beds. The planned expansion is considered an extension of the most recent development at the hospital completed in 2018, which added an intensive care unit to the hospital and a fourth floor. The cost of the expansion is around $170 million and includes an additional 120 beds at a nearby aged care facility.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud28%2B | Cloud28+ is a worldwide cloud computing services marketplace and federation of cloud computing organizations. It was developed and is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). In December 2016 it was the world's biggest aggregator of cloud computing services.
The federation originally launched in Europe in March 2015, with the aim of accelerating cloud adoption in Europe. It opened up to members worldwide in November 2016, at which point it had around 330 member companies and offered around 1,300 infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and software-as-a-service (SaaS) services.
History
Cloud28+ launched at an HPE event in Frankfurt, Germany in March 2015. It had been in development since April 2014, with the purpose of creating a single catalogue of European cloud computing services. HP had been "trying to figure out how we grow an ecosystem of cloud suppliers in Europe, mapping services providers with ISVs and resellers," according to HP executive Xavier Poisson Gouyou Beauchamps.
On 6 June 2017, Poisson won the "Cloud Leadership Award 2017" from Datacloud Europe, with judges citing the growth of Cloud28+ in making their selection.
Microsoft joined Cloud28+ as a technology partner in July 2017, pledging to collaborate with HPE to create a new on-boarding programme designed to bring more independent software vendors (ISVs) to the marketplace. In February 2018, Mphasis partnered with HPE Cloud28+ for specific solutions and services.
Services
At launch, Cloud28+ required that services in its catalog be built on the HPE Helion version of the OpenStack open-source cloud software platform. In May 2016, support was extended to include Microsoft Azure, VMware, Docker and other technologies. The service hub was also extended with an App Center,
which automates installation of Docker-based applications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Grid%20%28India%29 | The National Grid is the high-voltage electricity transmission network in India, connecting power stations and major substations and ensuring that electricity generated anywhere in India can be used to satisfy demand elsewhere. The National Grid is owned, and maintained by state-owned Power Grid Corporation of India and operated by state-owned Power System Operation Corporation. It is one of the largest operational synchronous grids in the world with 417.68 GW of installed power generation capacity as of 31 May 2023.
India's grid is connected as a wide area synchronous grid nominally running at 50 Hz. The permissible range of the frequency band is 49.5-50.5 Hz, effective 17 September 2012. The Union Government regulates grid frequency by requiring States to pay more when they draw power at low frequencies. There are also synchronous interconnections to Bhutan, and asynchronous links with Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Nepal. An undersea interconnection to Sri Lanka (India–Sri Lanka HVDC Interconnection) has also been proposed. A proposed interconnection between Myanmar and Thailand would facilitate the creation of a power pool and enable trading among all BIMSTEC nations.
History
India began utilizing grid management on a regional basis in the 1960s. Individual State grids were interconnected to form 5 regional grids covering mainland India. The grids were the Northern, Eastern, Western, North Eastern and Southern Grids. These regional links were established to enable transmission of surplus electricity between States in each region. In the 1990s, the Indian government began planning for a national grid. Regional grids were initially interconnected by asynchronous HVDC back-to-back links facilitating limited exchange of regulated power. The links were subsequently upgraded to high capacity synchronous links.
The first interconnection of regional grids was established in October 1991 when the North Eastern and Eastern grids were interconnected. The Western Grid was interconnected with the aforementioned grids in March 2003. The Northern grid was also interconnected in August 2006, forming a Central Grid synchronously connected operating at one frequency. The sole remaining regional grid, the Southern Grid, was synchronously interconnected to the Central Grid on 31 December 2013 with the commissioning of the 765 kV Raichur-Solapur transmission line, thereby establishing the National Grid.
Territories outside the grid
The union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep are not connected to the National Grid. Both territories are archipelagos located far away from the mainland. Due to the geography and topography of these islands, including separation by sea over great distances, there is no single power grid for all the electrified islands in the archipelago. The power generation and distribution systems of these territories is served by standalone systems, with each electrified island in the archipelago having its own generation an |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogs%20%28Lem%29 | Dialogs on the Atomic Resurrection, the Impossibility Theory, Philosophical Benefits of Cannibalism, Sadness in a Test Tube, Cybernetic Psychoanalysis, Electrical Metempsychosis, Evolutionary Feedbacks, Cybernetic Eschatology, Personalities of Electrical Networks, Perversity of Electrobrains, Eternal Life in a Box, Construction of Geniuses, Epilepsy of Capitalism, Governance Machines, Design of Social Systems — is a collection of philosophical essays by Stanisław Lem.
The first edition was printed in 1957 (Kraków, Wydawnictwo Literackie, 323 pages), the second, significantly expanded edition appeared in 1972 (Kraków, Wydawnictwo Literackie, 424 pages). The first dialog, about the "atomic resurrection" machine, was translated into English (from German) by Frank Prengel.
The style and the form of the book was borrowed from Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous by George Berkeley, including the names and the characters of the two disputants: Hylas and Philonous.
The essays were written in the most optimistic days of cybernetics, when infinite possibilities were expected from it. At the same time, it was only a year after cybernetics stopped being described as "bourgeois pseudoscience" in the Eastern Bloc.
The first edition contained eight dialogs. Later critics interpreted the length and convoluteness of the first six dialogs as a counter-censorship "smoke screen" for the main item: dialog VII, which in effect criticized the planned economy of the Eastern Bloc socialism.
The 1972 edition contained two annexes with two dialogs each.
Dialog I is about logical, ethical and philosophical problems related to the possibility of recreating a person as a perfect atom-wise copy. The dialog concludes that consciousness is not reducible to the mere physical composition and structure of a person, but at the same time this does not disprove the material nature of consciousness, pending the future progress of science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer%20Aided%20Transceiver | A computer aided transceiver (CAT) is a device used by radio amateurs for controlling a transceiver radio receiver using a computer.
Conventional transmitters are manually controlled and used to transmit voice using buttons, dials, etc. However, advances in electronics have come to market devices that can be controlled by a computer and allow digital modes such as packet radio and also the use of satellite tracking, because it can continuously change the device's frequency according to the Doppler effect. This is done by connecting a Radio receiver and a PC using a CAT interface and a CAT Program
A CAT interface is a piece of hardware that connects the PC and radio that provides a connection to allows the radio and the PC to communicate with each other. The CAT interface provides the signals to and fro via correct voltage levels and in the case of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) CAT interface it requires a "protocol" for communication but communication itself is down to the radio and the software on the PC.
Software that may be called a CAT program allows a radio to be controlled through the PC. Changes made on the radio through user interactions on the CAT Program are (generally) shown on the PC's screen.
The functionality of CAT equipment (software & interface) depends on the radio and what features the software writers included in the CAT software. Modern radio systems do have more CAT functionality
If you run a logging program that supports CAT, then that software may take advantage of the CAT system by retrieving information from the radio to help fill in log details, such as the frequency that the contact was made.
CAT is also useful on many radios where there are many sub-menus in the radios menu system, and many of the sub-menu items can be easily changed via the PC. On many HF radios, the CAT system is also used to program the memories on the radio, but you would need to use appropriate programming software.
A CAT interface does not receive or transmit any DATA mode, that is the purpose of a DATA interface. Although, both may be used at the same time with the correct CAT Equipment.
DATA modes, and getting audio to and from the PC is the function of a DATA interface. A completely different thing but it is easier and more useful when CAT and DATA are used at the same time. Wouldn't it be nice to have an interface that could operate Frequency-shift keying (FSK), Audio FSK (AFSK), (real) Morse Code (CW), with a CAT interface and its own sound card..... (eg. The DigiMaster Pro3).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UM%20Motorcycles | UM-Motorcycles (United Motors) is an American motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Miami. UM was formed in the early 2000s by Octavio Villegas Llano. The company has a distribution network in 25 nations with 1200 outlets. It also entered the European market during the 2016 Intermot, and its European operations are based out of Porto.
History
UM Motorcycles has its origins in Colombia, and has been claiming U.S. roots to project a favourable world image. United Motors (UM) was founded in Colombia in 1951, importing and distributing cars, trucks and heavy equipment from the U.S. and Japan into Latin America, primarily in Colombia. Recognizing growing demand for motorcycle products worldwide, UM entered the powersports market in the early '90s by forging agreements with large motorcycle manufacturers in China and Taiwan to introduce those products to the Latin American market. In 1997, UM ventured in to the U.S. (as "Jincheng USA") to distribute products from various manufacturers in China under the UM brand name. In 2005, UM started selling rebadged Hyosung Motorcycles under agreement with S&T Motors. On Feb 1, 2010, UM ceased US operations, and Martin Racing Performance acquired all of UM's remaining assets from banks that held the liens on the company. After closing the U.S. distribution operations, UM continued doing business in Colombia and in other Latin American markets. In 2014, UM announced their entry to India through an Indian subsidiary, UM Motorcycles, marketing themselves as an "American Manufacturer" with origins in the U.S.
Joint Ventures
UM Motors entered the Indian market (which accounts for 78 percentage of the global two-wheeler demand) with a 50:50 joint venture with Lohia Auto. It has invested 100 crores in a plant at Kashipur, Uttarakhand capable of producing 5000 units a month, and is headquartered in New Delhi. The brand retails in India under the UM Lohia brand name and started operations in 2016. The company has rolled out two 280 cc cruiser motorcycles in India – Renegade Commando and Renegade Sport S and currently has 75 dealerships.
The UM Lohia venture will also export motorcycles to Nepal, besides other South Asian markets. The current level of localisation is 60 percentage with engines and fuel tanks being imported. Karan Singh Grover is the brand ambassador for the UM Lohia venture.
This venture ended because of poor after sales by the company in India as the spare parts were not good and a case were running in India. All service centers across India have been closed.
Technical Collaborations
In 2016, Runner Automobiles of Bangladesh signed a collaboration agreement with UM to manufacture UM motorcycles in Bangladesh under the name of UM-Runner . The motorcycles will be manufactured at Runner's motorcycle manufacturing facilities at Bhaluka while UM International LLC will provide R&D support in technological & engineering fields as well as global component sourcing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decima%20%28game%20engine%29 | Decima is a proprietary game engine made by Guerrilla Games and released in November 2013, that includes tools and features like artificial intelligence and game physics. It is compatible with 4K resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging, used for games on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, macOS and iOS.
History
The first game the engine was used for was Killzone: Shadow Fall. In June 2015, Guerrilla Games announced that Horizon: Zero Dawn was using the engine for development. In August 2015, Until Dawn was announced to be using the engine along with Havok physics. In December 2015, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood used the engine along with PlayStation VR. In June 2016, Hideo Kojima announced preparation for Kojima Productions' independent game Death Stranding, inspecting two engine candidates, of which the latter had been used to create the first teaser that was unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016 conference. After receiving the Industry Icon award at The Game Awards 2016, Kojima premiered a trailer for the game with the engine's logo. At PlayStation Experience, Kojima had announced that he had partnered with Guerrilla Games, using the engine for development on Death Stranding.
According to executive producer Angie Smets, Decima was originally known simply as "the engine" by Guerrilla employees, as there were initially no plans to publicly offer this technology to game developers outside of the company. However, the newly forged partnership with Kojima Productions meant that Guerrilla suddenly had to give the engine a name for marketing purposes; they chose to name it after Dejima, the Japanese island where a Dutch Empire trading post appeared in the 17th century and once symbolized the strong trade relations between Japan and the Netherlands.
Guerrilla's most recent title, Horizon Forbidden West, used an updated version of the engine. The game was released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on February 18, 2022.
Features
During PlayStation Experience in December 2016, it was revealed that the engine has artificial intelligence, game physics and logic tools, featuring resources for creating entire worlds. It is capable of 4K resolution and high-dynamic-range imaging.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenLB | OpenLB is an object-oriented implementation of the lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM). It is the first implementation of a generic platform for LBM programming, which is shared with the open source community (GPLv2).
The code is written in C++ and is used by application programmers as well as developers, with the ability to implement custom models
OpenLB supports complex data structures that allow simulations in complex geometries and parallel execution using MPI, OpenMP and CUDA on high-performance computers.
The source code uses the concepts of interfaces and templates, so that efficient, direct and intuitive implementations of the LBM become possible.
The efficiency and scalability has been checked and proved by code reviews.
A user manual and a source code documentation by DoxyGen are available on the project page.
Functions
OpenLB is being constantly developed. By now the following features are implemented:
Computational fluid dynamics in complex geometry
Automatic generation of a grid
Turbulent flow
Multi-component flow
Thermal flow
Light radiation
Topology optimizing
Particle flow (Euler–Euler and Euler–Lagrange method)
Automated grid generation
Automated grid generation is one of the great advantages of OpenLB over other CFD software packages. The main advantages are listed below:
Use of geometries in the STL file format or geometrically primitive forms (e.g. ball, cylinder, cone) and their union, intersection and difference
Very fast voxelization: 6003 ~ 1 minute
Handling non-watertight surfaces
Memory-friendly using octrees
Load distribution for parallel execution with MPI, OpenMP and CUDA.
The automatic grid generation can assume both an STL file as well as primitive geometries. For the geometry, a uniform and rectangular grid is created which encloses the entire space of the geometry. The superfluous grid cells are then removed and the remaining cuboids are shrunk to fit the given geometry. Finally, the grid is distributed to different threads or processors for the parallel execution of the simulation. The boundary conditions and start values can be set using material numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcounter | Starcounter is an in-memory application platform built by Starcounter AB. The platform is based on a combined in-memory database engine and application server.
Technology
A combined in-memory database engine and application server keeps data in one place. This technology is called "virtual machine database management system", or VMDBMS. The patent related to the technology explains it this way: In such a system, the environment is configured to maintain a database of objects in a database memory within the environment memory. An application executes in an application memory within the environment memory, and upon instantiation of a database object, the application environment allocates memory in the database for the database object, the database providing master storage for the database object.
Tables and classes are the same as a consequence of the VMDBMS which lets the application and database be in the same virtual memory space. The implication of this is that there is no object-relational mapper (ORM). Instead, the database is directly accessed using SQL-like queries called NewSQL from the application code.
A major drawback with in-memory databases is that main memory is volatile and does therefore not ensure durability. The solution to this, which Starcounter utilizes, is to write transaction logs to a disk the same way it's done in traditional SQL databases. If data needs to be recovered, it's possible to do so by going back in the transaction logs.
The database maintains ACID compliance by using transactional scope and transactional memory which allows for long-running transactions, nested transactions, and parallel transactions.
Starcounter uses a Model–View–ViewModel (MVVM) pattern where the view model is hosted on the server. The server-side code is written using C# since the platform is making use of the .NET framework. The communication between the client and the server is done using a thin client library that sends JSON-patches. The recommended way to build the view in Starcounter applications is to use HTML, CSS, Polymer, and Web Components, with as little logic as possible on the client side.
Similar Software
Starcounter can be likened by Oracle's TimesTen in-memory database and SAP HANA. What these have in common is that they are all based on in-memory technology and are often targeted towards customers that use real-time applications. The main difference is the way the database management system is integrated. SAP HANA makes use of a column-oriented database management system. TimesTen, on the other hand, uses a relational database management system (RDBMS). Starcounter is unique in that it uses an object-oriented approach that is integrated with the application (VMDBMS) with an underlying RDMBS .
History
Starcounter AB was established and started its development of Starcounter in 2006. It received $1.8 million in funding from a VC round led by Industrifonden in 2015 to continue the development.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief%20Wings | Relief Wings was founded in 1940 by Ruth Rowland Nichols as a humanitarian air service for disaster relief. Consisting of private aircraft, volunteer medical professionals and a network of medical facilities, Relief Wings were able to contribute an effective air-ambulance service to the programme of civil defence. Relief Wings was organised and run by women, with women being eligible to participate in any of the roles available in the organisation. Chapters of Relief Wings were organised in 36 states of the US.
The slogan of Relief Wings was "Humanitarian Service by Air".
From 1942 Relief Wings assisted the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force, Civil Air Patrol (CAP), providing an adjunct relief service during World War II. By becoming an adjunct service to CAP, Ruth Nichols was able to get the appropriate military and aviation permissions for Relief Wings so that the wartime restrictions on private flying did not apply to the group. Nichols went on to earn her Lieutenant Colonel ranking due to her service with Relief Wings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated%20convenience%20store | An automated convenience store is a convenience store that operates without a cashier, and instead relies on computers and robotics.
Examples
Robomart
Robomart has created an autonomous grocery store on wheels that offers consumers the ability to pick their own groceries at home checkout-free.
Shop24
Shop24 operates 170 automated convenience stores in nine European countries and 7 in the United States. An average store costs $90,000.
SmartMart
In 1986, after entrepreneur Mike Rivalto's wife came home irritated and frustrated due to the long checkout line in the convenience store, Rivalto conceived the SmartMart, an automated convenience store. After seven years of research and development, the concept was ready to become a reality when technology caught up to the idea in the mid-1990s. In 2003, the first proof of concept store was opened at a location in East Memphis. In 2011, after the store did more than 1.4 million transactions in eight years, it was replaced by SmartMart's latest technology. At SmartMart, a consumer can drive in or walk up to a computer touch screen and select from up to 1,800 products available. The machine accepts payments by cash, credit or debit card and delivers purchased items through a drawer. Development of the SmartMart including gas pumps costs approximately $100,000 more than a 3,000 square foot convenience store, but the labor savings are substantial as a single control center worker can operate the entire business. In 2009, deputies accused SmartMart of selling a 24-ounce can of beer to an underage buyer.
