https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noggin%20%28brand%29 | Noggin is an edutainment brand launched on February 2, 1999. It was co-founded by MTV Networks (owners of Nickelodeon) and Sesame Workshop. It started out as a cable television channel and a website, both centered around the concepts of imagination, creativity, and education. Since 2015, Noggin has been a streaming service.
In Noggin's first three years, it was mainly aimed at pre-teens and teenagers. One of Noggin's goals was to disprove the idea "that educational programming is not entertaining enough to attract pre-teens and young adults." It aired preschool shows in the morning and devoted the rest of its schedule to tween and teen shows. In April 2002, Noggin extended its preschool block to last for 12 hours, airing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, and the teen block ran from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The teen block was given a new name, "The N," to distinguish itself from the preschool block. The shows that made up Noggin's original older-skewing lineup aired exclusively during The N from 2002 onward.
Sesame Workshop eventually sold its stake in Noggin in August 2002, but it continued to co-produce shows for Noggin until 2009. The original Noggin channel closed on September 28, 2009, and the brand was dormant until 2015, when it was announced that Noggin would return as a mobile streaming service. The service launched on March 5, 2015. Since 2020, the Noggin streaming service has produced its own exclusive shows.
Creation
Noggin's creation dates back to 1995, when Sesame Workshop (then known as the Children's Television Workshop) planned to start an educational cable channel called "New Kid City." The Los Angeles Times reported that "launching its own channel is the only way to ensure a home for its highly acclaimed shows, which are often passed over by networks in favor of more commercially successful fare." Meanwhile, Nickelodeon (part of MTV Networks) planned its own educational channel called "Big Orange." When the two companies learned of each other's ideas, they partnered to create a channel together.
The channel was named Noggin (a slang term for a person's head), reflecting its purpose: to encourage kids to think, discover new things, and use their imaginations. When it started, Noggin was mostly aimed at kids aged 6–12. Its main goal was to provide "fun shows that help kids learn and inspire their curiosity – all without feeling like they're in school." Noggin's core values included the statements: "Kids want to learn. Kids are naturally curious. There are no stupid questions."
Brand elements
Logo and branding
From 1999 until 2019, Noggin used the same logo: the bottom half of a smiling cartoon face. The logo's upper half featured different icons that represented topics the head was "thinking of" (such as a beaker to reflect science, or flowers to reflect springtime). Hundreds of different "toppers" were designed for the logo. For its first few years, Noggin often captioned its logo with the slogan "What sparks you?" It also aired vide |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAME | TRAME (TRAnsmission of MEssages) was the name of the second computer network in the world similar to the internet to be used in an electric utility. Like the internet, the base technology was packet switching; it was developed by the electric utility ENHER in Barcelona. It was deployed by the same utility, first in Catalonia and Aragón, Spain, and later in other places. Its development started in 1974 and the first routers, called nodes at that time, were deployed by 1978. The network was in operation until 2016 (38 years) with successive technological software and hardware updates.
Beginnings
In 1974, packet switching was a technology known only in research circles. The concept began in 1968 in association with the United States' Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) research project ARPANET. The idea of applying the packet switching concept to electric utilities control communication networks first appeared in 1974 when the Swedish power utility Vattenfall started to create its TIDAS packet-switching network and was followed by the Spanish electric utility ENHER, which aimed to telecontrol and automate its high-voltage power grid. For this purpose, ENHER created a specific team of people to develop both the packet-switching network and the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, also called the telecontrol system. By 1978 the first four TRAME routers were available and by 1980, eight of them were deployed and operating. The printed circuit boards (PCBs) controlling the communication lines were connected to a shared memory PCB allowing them to exchange data and messages. The project was developed together with its main initial application, the Telecontrol or SCADA system SICL () with which initially they shared a very similar hardware. The maximum link capacity was 9600 bit/s, which in 1980 was the maximum possible on a 4 kHz wide voice channel at the time. These channels were the basic unit of the then-analog communication systems in use. By that time power utilities used either telephone calls or low speed (below 1200bit/s) dedicated links for telecontrol, typically shared among ten high-voltage electrical substations.
Services
The basic service provided by the TRAME network was SCADA or Telecontrol to automate the high-voltage power grid, thus improving operational efficiency, which was until then operated manually with telephone communication between human operators. Each TRAME router was associated with one or more remote terminal units (RTUs) of the SICL telecontrol system. It also had connected screens, and later PCs, located in electrical substations to interchange messages between them and with the Control Center located in the well-known in Barcelona. It was a kind of predecessor to today's e-mail. Later, in the 1990s, other protocols (X.25, IP) were developed to include corporate information technology (IT) terminals, company physical surveillance systems and other services.

The Marketing Group is based on a buy-and-build strategy aimed at creating a global full service marketing network. The strategy, a variation on the traditional mergers and acquisitions roll-up, leverages the concept of economies of agglomeration and economies of scale. Currently, The Marketing Group comprises 18 wholly owned subsidiary brands which each retain a large degree of operational independence, are profitable and in growth phase. It was the third largest acquirer in the marketing communications sector in 2016 with 16 deals, behind Dentsu Aegis Network and WPP plc.
The Marketing Group and agglomeration
The Marketing Group was founded on the concept of agglomeration. This term describes a model in which a number of private small and medium-sized enterprises from within the same industry come together under a single publicly listed holding company. Each subsidiary businesses of the listed holding company retains its own brand and operational independence, but benefits from the scale, access to talent, services and markets and operational synergies associated with being part of the larger company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware%20backdoor | Hardware backdoors are backdoors in hardware, such as code inside hardware or firmware of computer chips. The backdoors may be directly implemented as hardware Trojans in the integrated circuit.
Hardware backdoors are intended to undermine security in smartcards and other cryptoprocessors unless investment is made in anti-backdoor design methods. They have also been considered for car hacking.
Severity
Hardware backdoors are considered to be highly problematic for several reasons. For instance, they cannot be removed by conventional means such as antivirus software. They can also circumvent other types of security, such as disk encryption. Lastly, they can also be injected during production where the user has no control.
Examples
Around 2008 the FBI reported that 3,500 counterfeit Cisco network components were discovered in the US with some of them having found their way into military and government facilities.
In 2011 Jonathan Brossard demonstrated a proof-of-concept hardware backdoor called "Rakshasa" which can be installed by anyone with physical access to hardware. It uses coreboot to re-flash the BIOS with a SeaBIOS and iPXE benign bootkit built of legitimate, open-source tools and can fetch malware over the web at boot time.
In 2012, Sergei Skorobogatov (from the University of Cambridge computer laboratory) and Woods controversially stated that they had found a backdoor in a military-grade FPGA device which could be exploited to access/modify sensitive information. It has been said that this was proven to be a software problem and not a deliberate attempt at sabotage that still brought to light the need for equipment manufacturers to ensure microchips operate as intended.
In 2012 two mobile phones developed by Chinese device manufacturer ZTE were found to carry a backdoor to instantly gain root access via a password that had been hard-coded into the software. This was confirmed by security researcher Dmitri Alperovitch.
U.S. sources have pointed the finger of suspicion at Huawei hardware since at least 2012, suggesting the possibility of the presence of backdoors in Huawei products.
In 2013 researchers with the University of Massachusetts devised a method of breaking a CPU's internal cryptographic mechanisms by introducing specific impurities into the crystalline structure of transistors to change Intel's random-number generator.
Documents revealed from 2013 onwards during the surveillance disclosures initiated by Edward Snowden showed that the Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit and other NSA employees intercepted servers, routers, and other network gear being shipped to organizations targeted for surveillance to install covert implant firmware onto them before delivery. These tools include custom BIOS exploits that survive the reinstallation of operating systems and USB cables with spy hardware and radio transceiver packed inside.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nieuwegein%20City%20%28tram%20stop%29 | Nieuwegein City (formerly Stadscentrum) is a tram stop of the Utrecht sneltram network, located beside the Nieuwegein Cityplaza shopping mall in Nieuwegein. It is along the SUNIJ (sneltram Utrecht-Nieuwegein-IJsselstein) line which runs south from the Jaarbeursplein and Centrumzijde stops at Utrecht Centraal railway station. South of the Nieuwegein City stop is the main junction of the sneltram network where southbound trams from Utrecht branch to either IJsselstein-Zuid and Nieuwegein-Zuid, tram routes 20 and 21 respectively. (Prior to July 2022, tram routes 60 and 61 served the stop. But these routes were renumbered to 20 and 21 respectively with the introduction of through-routing over the Uithof line to P+R Science Park eliminating a change in trams at Utrecht Centraal station.)
With the exception of the tram stops at Utrecht Centraal, Nieuwegein City is the busiest tram stop on the Utrecht tram system. In 2018, the daily tram ridership at the stop was 2,000 per day in addition to 1,400 bus riders. The hub is expected to serve 5,000 riders per day in future.
Until 30 May 2020, the Nieuwegein City stop (then Stadscentrum) had high platforms and was located on the north side of the street Passage at the entrance to the Cityplaza shopping mall. After that date, the line was then shut down to lower and lengthen the tram platforms along the SUNIJ line to accommodate new low-floor trams. The original high-platform Stadscentrum stop was decommissioned. After the line reopened on 3 January 2021, the tram stop had been temporarily relocated northwards parallel to the street Spoorstede between the streets Schouwstede and Hagestede. Between 26 February and 8 July 2022, the line to Nieuwegein and IJsselstein was again shut down (south of P+R Westraven) in order to relocate the Stadscentrum tram stop and realign the tracks. When the stop reopened on 9 July 2022, it was renamed from Stadscentrum to Nieuwegein City. The relocation of the tram stop was part of a larger redevelopment effort at City Nieuwegein. The buildings south-west of the tram tracks were demolished in order to construct 1600 new residences. The demolition allowed the tram tracks to be shifted in that direction.
Today, the location of the Nieuwegein City stop is between the streets Passage and Weverstede. The stop is wheelchair-accessible from both ends of each platform. Because of the presence of many pedestrians and cyclists near the stop, the maximum speed for trams going through this area is 20 km/h. Upon reopening on 9 July 2022, the new stop had temporary shelters on the platforms pending the erection of a permanent canopy. There is a bus terminal located at the north-east corner of the tram right-of-way and the street Schouwstede.
There is an emergency crossover to the north of the Nieuwegein City stop. This crossover will be available to turn back trams that arrive from Utrecht at the southbound platform.
A new adjacent bus station is planned for 2025. It will be located at t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigma | EMIGMA is a geophysics interpretation software platform developed by Petros Eikon Incorporated for data processing, simulation, inversion and imaging as well as other associated tasks. The software focuses on non-seismic applications and operates only on the Windows operating system.
It supports files standard to the industry, instrument native formats as well as files used by other software in the industry such as AutoCAD, Google Earth and Oasis montaj.
There is a free version of EMIGMA called EMIGMA Basic developed to allow viewing of databases created by licensed users. It does not allow data simulation nor modeling nor data import.

EMIGMA tools
Forward simulation of geophysical models
These applications were the initial motivation for the platform
and are still given attention in new releases.
Geological models can be simulated for a variety of geophysical measurement systems such as conventional dipole-dipole, , time domain electromagnetics(TEM), Magnetotellurics(MT), /, magnetic, gravity, resistivity and induced polarization systems. Surveys can be airborne, ground, down a hole, crosshole, underwater or on the water. A survey is defined by properties related to a transmitter, a receiver and other system properties. The system and survey parameters are stored with the input data allowing the user freedom from continually specifying these parameters for every model. Synthetic measurements at the receiver due to the model are what are calculated during a simulation. Early versions of EMIGMA could simulate the responses of 3d blocks, thin plates and the response of a many layered earth model. Simulation algorithms now include one for a sphere model, and alternate algorithms for thin plates and various algorithms for 3D prisms and polyhedra.
Blocks and polyhedra components of a model are simulated by algorithms based on the LN approximation.
When compared with a real world electromagnetic system, it has been found that simulation results for a thin plate tended to agree in some situations. One case study required other algorithms for initial analysis of data due to EMIGMA's complexity. EMIGMA was then used when the limitations of the other software was reached. EMIGMA is the only commercial EM modelling tool that can model a thick prism, a complex polyhedra as well as a thin plates. Another advantage is the ability to simulate the response of multiple types of targets on more than one profile.
Inversion of geophysical data
A model response can be simulated and compared to a measured response adjusted by the user and repeated. But another approach, which is often taken, is to make this process fo |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate%20warfare | Corporate warfare is a form of information warfare in which attacks on companies by other companies take place. Such warfare may be part of economic warfare and cyberwarfare; but can involve espionage, 'dirty' PR tactics, or physical theft. The intention is largely to destabilise or sink the value of the opposing company for financial gain, or to steal trade secrets from them.
In fiction
In the science fiction genre of cyberpunk corporations guard their data and hire individuals to break into computer systems of their competitors. In the genre pioneered by William Gibson, power is largely in the hands of megacorporations which often maintain their own private armies and security forces and wage corporate warfare against each other.
Cyber
According to Schwartau, companies are typically targeted by their competitors. Such warfare may include methods of industrial espionage, spreading disinformation, leaking confidential information and damaging a company's information systems.
Chris Rouland of the cybersecurity & cyberarms company Endgame, Inc. controversially advocated that private companies should be allowed to "hack back" against nations or criminals trying to steal their data. After a wave of high-profile attacks against US companies and government databases a panel of experts assembled by the George Washington University Center for Cyber and Homeland Security said policies should be eased to allow "active defense" measures to deter hackers and did not recommend hacking back "because [they] don't want the cure to be worse than the disease". Relevantly on the February 2017 RSA Conference Microsoft President Brad Smith stated that technology companies need to preserve trust and stability online by pledging neutrality in cyber conflict.
The dramatic increase in the use of the Internet for business purposes has exposed private entities to greater risks for cyber-attacks. Garcia and Horowitz propose a game theoretic approach which considers economic motivations for investment in Internet security and investigate a scenario in which firms plan for long-term security investment by considering the likelihood of cyber-attacks.
Botnets may be used to knock business competitors off line. They can be hired by corporations to disrupt the operation of competitors on the networks.
Low-grade corporate warfare is constantly being waged between technology giants by "patent trolls, insider blogs and corporate talking points".
Supply chain attacks in corporate warfare can be called supply chain interdiction.
The term may also refer to the privatization of warfare mainly by the involvement of private military companies.
It has been speculated that the concept of "non-international armed conflict within the meaning of Article 3 GC I to IV" of the Fourth Geneva Convention would be wide enough to allow for covering "a renaissance of corporate warfare".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/69th%20Primetime%20Emmy%20Awards | The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards honored the best in US prime time television programming from June 1, 2016, until May 31, 2017, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The ceremony was held on Sunday, September 17, 2017, at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and was broadcast in the U.S. by CBS. The ceremony was hosted by Stephen Colbert. The 69th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held on September 9 and 10, and was broadcast by FXX on September 16.
The nominations were announced by Anna Chlumsky and Shemar Moore on July 13, 2017. Channelwise, the freshman HBO science fiction western drama Westworld and NBC sketch comedy Saturday Night Live were the most nominated programs, each with 22 nominations.
Host Stephen Colbert opened the ceremony with a song-and-dance number and a monologue that lampooned the state of the world under President Donald Trump, which The New York Times said set an anti-Trump tone for the rest of the event. Many of the further presentations and host commentary continued jokes aimed towards Trump, along with winners' speeches criticizing the President and standing behind diversity in the television field. Sean Spicer, Trump's former White House Press Secretary, made an appearance in which he parodied himself. RuPaul played a living Emmy statue in a comedic interview segment with Colbert during the ceremony.
Original programming streaming television services—Netflix and Hulu—upended traditional broadcast television series in several categories. Netflix series earned a total of 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, following only HBO with 29 and leading NBC with 15. Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale became the first web series to win Outstanding Drama Series.

It was first broadcast on the Seven Network on 17 January 1988. The following is a list of characters that appeared in 2017, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by the soap's executive producer, Lucy Addario. The 30th season of Home and Away began airing from 30 January 2017. Riley Hawkins was introduced during the following episode. Scarlett Snow made her debut in May, while June saw the arrival of the four-strong Astoni family consisting of parents Ben and Maggie Astoni, and their daughters Coco and Ziggy Astoni.

Riley Hawkins
Riley Hawkins, played by Ryan O'Kane, made his first appearance on 31 January 2017. O'Kane's housemate Rob Mills also auditioned for the role. He was waiting for his agent to let him know the outcome when O'Kane revealed that he had won the part. Riley is introduced as Tori Morgan's (Penny McNamee) former boyfriend and a surgeon at the local hospital, who steps in to perform surgery on Justin Morgan (James Stewart). McNamee said the moment Tori is reunited with Riley is "shocking" for her because she has not seen him in seven years. While Riley is surprised to learn that Tori and her siblings have been in witness protection. Fellow doctor Nate Cooper (Kyle Pryor), who broke up with Tori, is jealous of her history with Riley.
On his first day at Northern Districts Hospital, Riley is asked to operate on Justin Morgan, the brother of his former partner Tessa Lee, now known as Tori. Tori explains to Riley that she and her brothers had to go into witness protection after their parents were shot. Riley tells Nate Cooper that he and Tori used to be a couple, and that he wants her back. He also apologises to Tori for cheating on her. When Justin learns Riley is in town, he warns him to stay away from Tori. Riley later treats Justin when he is admitted with an infection. He also tells Tori that Nate tried to make a bet with him about her, but she soon realises that he lied. Riley performs a bronchoscopy on Billie Ashford (Tessa de Josselin) and finds a mass in her airway. Tori and Riley go on a lunch date, where he asks her for another chance, but she is cautious due to his history. Brody Morgan (Jackson Heywood) sees Riley flirting with Evelyn MacGuire (Philippa Northeast) at Billie's wake, and tells him not to mess Tori around again. Shortly after they get back together, Riley asks Tori to move to the city with him. She turns him down for the sake of her family. Riley then sees her and Nate talking and hugging. He amends Billie's notes and then makes a formal complaint in an attempt to get Nate fired for medical negligence. Tori proves the notes were doctored and when Riley admits that he did it, she breaks up with |

It was formerly known as Time Warner Cable SportsChannel and was rebranded after Charter's acquisition of Time Warner Cable in May 2016. The network had one feed serving Eastern North Carolina, Western North Carolina, and the Columbia/Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. The network featured non-gameday programming from the Carolina Panthers, local high school sports, and college sports. The channel was led by General Manager Jason Lockhart.
In 2017, in an effort to reduce duplicity, Charter Communications closed down the Spectrum Sports outlets that shared markets with Spectrum News and merged them with their news counterparts. Spectrum Sports Carolinas' remaining programming was merged into Spectrum News North Carolina.

These "sister marches" were both formally and organically related to the popularized 2017 Women's March, all of which happened in concert. The date of this global protest is particularly significant because it was the first day of President Donald J. Trump's term. In addition, the protest was largely in response the positions of the new presidency and the results of the 2016 presidential election. The march was also about promoting women's rights. Other noted causes included, but were not limited to: immigration reform, climate science, and health care reform, countering religious discrimination, violence against women, LGBTQ abuse, addressing racial inequities (e.g. Black Lives Matter), workers' issues, and environmental issues.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Golgi%20network%20vesicle%20protein%2023%20A | Trans-Golgi network vesicle protein 23 A (TVP23A) is a protein coded for the TVP23A gene, formerly known as FAM18A. TVP23A is located on chromosome 16. It is known to have human paralogs, TVP23B and TVP23C, as well as orthologs in many different species, notably yeast, mice, and chickens. The general consensus on the TVP23A protein indicate that it has some function in the late Golgi apparatus and is involved in retrograde transport from endosomes back into the Golgi apparatus. The nature of this transport is still unknown.
Gene
Locus
TVP23A is located at cytogenic band 16p13.13, on the negative strand of Chromosome 16.
Alternative Names
TVP23A stands for Trans-Golgi network Vesicle Protein 23A TVP23A, is the current name for the protein. Aliases of TVP23A include FAM18A, and rarely YDR084C.
mRNA
Isoforms
There are two known isoforms of TVP23A, variant one and variant two, with variant one being the more common variant in humans.
Protein
Structure
TVP23A is a member of the pfam superfamily containing the domain of unknown function 846 (DUF846). TVP23A has a predicted molecular weight of 24.1 kilodaltons, an isoelectric point of 6.5, and relatively high amounts of tryptophan and phenylalanine. The secondary structure of TVP23A consists primarily of alpha helices composing 4 transmembrane domains. There is not much information on the tertiary structure of TVP23A or its homologs. iTASSER was used to generate a prediction for the folding pattern of TVP23A, which supports the presence of multiple helix structures.
Expression
TVP23A is ubiquitously expressed in all human tissues. There is evidence of higher expression in the brain tissue of mice. The promoter for TVP23A is GXP_91266, spanning 1403 base pairs located on the negative strand of chromosome 16.
Function
The hypothesized function of TVP23A is a transmembrane protein involved in retrograde transport of vesicles from early endosomes into the late Golgi apparatus. TVP23A interactions with SNARE TVI1 were found to be required for retrograde transport.
Interacting Proteins
TVP23A has been found to interact with four different proteins via Yeast two hybrid arrays. Two of these proteins, YIPF1 and YIPF2, are believed to be Golgi transport proteins.
Homology
Homologous Domains
TVP23A is a DUF846 containing protein, which is homologous throughout TVP-type proteins. This domain contains the 4 transmembrane domains of TVP23A
Paralogs
TVP23A has two paralogs, TVP23B and TVP23C. TVP23B and TVP23C are 96% similar to each other, and both are located on chromosome 17. Due to the locations of these three genes, and their identities to each other, it is probable that ancestral TVP23 underwent duplication and translocation, giving rise to TVP23A on chromosome 16 and TVP23B/C on chromosome 17, which then underwent a second duplication to form TVP23B and TVP23C.
Orthologs
TVP23A has been found in all multicellular eukaryotes, including fungi. This gene has not been found in bacter |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius%20Kazemi | Darius Kazemi (born 1983) is an American computer programmer and artist. Kazemi and Courtney Stanton are the co-founders of the technology collective Feel Train.
Early life
Kazemi was born on July 28, 1983. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Virginia, then college at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts from which he graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.
Career
After college, Kazemi became a video game designer.
In 2012, Kazemi began making bots on Twitter, drawing particular attention for work like his "wordfilter", a feature that enabled bots to avoid racial slurs.
Kazemi is the author of Jagged Alliance 2, a book describing the people and process behind the development of the video game Jagged Alliance 2. Kazemi's text is the fifth in a series of books on video games published by Boss Fight Books.
In 2015, Kazemi released a project called the "Ethical Ad Blocker," which not only blocked ads, but also blocked all websites that contained ads, so that users would not take content for free from sites that rely on advertising dollars. Speaking to Vice's Motherboard, Kazemi explained the project, which made a huge number of websites inaccessible to those who'd enabled the Ethical Ad-Blocker was meant to dramatize the conflict traditional ad-blockers raise in allowing users to avoid ads but depriving websites of the revenue streams they rely on: "I like the idea of codifying a moral high road and then showing people in practice that the moral high ground is not an attainable thing."
In 2016, Kazemi released a Bernie Sanders video game, called Bubble Burst Bernie, developed with Rob Dubbin and artist Tim Luecke for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
At Feel Train, Kazemi and Stanton have developed the StayWokeBot in collaboration with activists DeRay Mckesson and Samuel Sinyangwe, as well as the Shortcut app with radio program This American Life, which allows listeners to share audio clips on social media much like gifs facilitate sharing video clips. Feel Train has a forthcoming Twitter bot project called Relive 44 that, beginning in May 2017, will repost every tweet from President Barack Obama (President Obama posted his first message to Twitter in May 2009).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20R.%20Cunningham | John Robert Cunningham, (January 5, 1927 – January 4, 2020) was a Canadian medical physicist who was noted for his contributions in the development of computerized radiation treatment planning dose calculations in radiation therapy.
Early life and education
Cunningham, known as Jack, received his B.Eng. in Engineering Physics (1950) and M.Sc. in Radiation Physics (1951) from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. In 1955, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in physics. After working for Canada's Defense Research Board, he became a staff Medical Physicist at Toronto's Ontario Cancer Institute / Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in 1958.
Career
During his medical physics career, Cunningham published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and conference proceedings, and is widely known for co-authoring The Physics of Radiology (1953) with Dr. Harold E. Johns. The final fourth edition (1983) remains a staple in medical physics education for medical physicists, technologists, and physicians. He is a pioneer in developing computational techniques for calculating absorbed dose from radiation beams, and computer software and algorithms he developed continue to be used in both commercial and open source treatment planning systems. Upon retirement from clinical medical physics in 1989, Cunningham became a consultant with Theratronics/MDS Nordion (Kanata, Ontario) until 1998 when he moved to Camrose Alberta.
Teaching
He was an adjunct professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and regularly lectured at the Cross Cancer Institute in the Department of Medical Physics until 2018. He and his wife Sheila lived in Calgary, Alberta, until his death on January 4, 2020, one day before his 93rd birthday.
Awards and recognition
In 1988, he was awarded the highest award given by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the William D. Coolidge Award, for his contributions to the field. In 2005, Cunningham was inducted as an Officer of the Order of Canada. In 2006, he received the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists Gold Medal Award for "outstanding contribution[s] to the field of medical physics in Canada".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeapFrog%20Epic | The LeapFrog Epic (styled as LeapFrog epic) is an Android-based mini-tablet computer produced and marketed by LeapFrog Enterprises. Released in 2015, the Epic is LeapFrog's first device to run on Android; most of LeapFrog's mobile computing devices for children run on a customized Ångström Linux distribution.
Name
Despite being sold alongside the LeapPad Explorer line of tablets, the original Epic and Academy Edition variants are not marketed as a LeapPad model and is instead referred to in official literature as the LeapFrog Epic, the latter moniker being a backronym for "explore, play, imagine and create", in reference to the Epic's educational nature.
Features
Hardware
The Epic has a TFT-LCD touchscreen, Wi-Fi capability, a 1.3 GHz ARM Cortex-A7 MediaTek MT8127 processor, a 2.0 MP rear-facing camera and a 2.0 MP front-facing camera. As with other devices and toys marketed by the company, the Epic is aimed for children ages 3–9, and like the lower-end LeapPad Explorer line of tablets, edutainment games and applications made specifically for the device automatically adjust to account for the child's grade level. The Epic lacks a cartridge slot, thus making existing cartridge-based software for the LeapPad incompatible; a number of games for the LeapPad series were however ported to the tablet. The Epic also comes standard with a capacitive stylus, replacing the finger in situations where precision is needed, or in apps designed for use with the pen, and a silicone protective case for added shock resistance. The case, which comes in either lime green or pink, can be removed by the user, allowing access to the device's microSD slot.
An updated variant of the Epic called Academy Edition was released in 2017. It is essentially the same hardware as the original Epic, albeit with a redesigned silicone protective bumper and updated firmware with access to the LeapFrog Academy program. Another updated variant called the LeapPad Academy was released in 2019, which, like the Epic Academy Edition before it, came with access to the LeapFrog Academy program and a silicone bumper with a built-in kickstand.
Software
The Epic runs on the Android KitKat operating system, overlaid with LeapFrog's proprietary Kids Launcher UI with support for multiple user profiles and parental controls limiting the time a child can use the device along with content which can be accessed; an unrestricted parent mode is also available along with the stock Android web browser. The initial firmware release only came with support for applications and content purchased from LeapFrog's own App Center, though an update was later made available allowing apps bought or downloaded from the Amazon App Store to be installed.

It is mainly used to describe or design research access to statistical data held by government agencies, and by data archives such as the UK Data Service.
Two of the Five Safes refer to statistical disclosure control, and so the Five Safes is usually used to contrast statistical and non-statistical controls when comparing data management options.
Concept
The Five Safes proposes that data management decisions be considered as solving problems in five 'dimensions': projects, people, settings, data and outputs. The combination of the controls leads to 'safe use'. These are most commonly expressed as questions, for example:
These dimensions are scales, not limits. That is, solutions can have a mix of more or fewer controls in each dimension, but the overall aim of 'safe use' independent of the particular mix. For example, a public use file available for open download cannot control who uses it, where or for what purpose, and so all the control (protection) must be in the data itself. In contrast, a file which is only accessed through a secure environment with certified users can contain very sensitive information: the non-statistical controls allow the data to be 'unsafe'. One academic likened the process to a graphic equalizer, where bass and treble can be combined independently to produce a sound the listener likes.
There is no 'order' to the Five Safes, in that one is necessarily more important than the others. However, Ritchie argued that the 'managerial' controls (projects, people, setting) should be addressed before the 'statistical' controls (data, output).
The Five Safes concept is associated with other topics which developed from the same programme at ONS, although these are not necessarily implemented. Safe people is associated with 'active researcher management', while safe outputs is linked with principles-based output statistical disclosure control.
The Five Safes is a positive framework, describing what is and is not. The EDRU ('evidence-based, default-open, risk-managed, user-centred') attitudinal model is sometimes used to give a normative context
The 'data access spectrum'
From 2003 the Five Safes was also represented in a simpler form as a 'Data Access Spectrum'.The non-data controls (project, people, setting, outputs) tend to work together, in that organisations often see these as a complementary set of restrictions on access. These can then be contrasted with choices about data anonymisation to present a linear representation of data access options. This presentation is consistent with the idea of 'data as a residual', as well as data protection laws of the time which often characterised data simply as anonymous or not anonymous.
A similar idea had already been developed independently in 2001 by Chuck Humphrey of the Canadian RDC network, the 'continuum of access'. More recently, The Open Data I |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanganui%20Computer%20Centre%20bombing | The Wanganui Computer Centre bombing occurred in Wanganui, New Zealand, in 1982. The event was carried out to protest New Zealand's ability to record the personal information of citizens which was seen as potentially dangerous by civil libertarians. The Computer Centre continued to operate until its closure in 2005.
Wanganui Computer Centre
Proposed by the National Party at the 1972 general elections and picked up by the Labour Party after they became the government, the computer system was initially proposed to be called the Law Enforcement Data System (Wanganui), then called the Justice Data Bank, until the name National Law Enforcement Data Base was settled on.
Wairere House
Sited on the corner of Bates Street and Somme Parade, "Wairere House" was the name given to the purpose-built building for the Wanganui Computer from the time of its initial construction in 1974. A large re-enforced three story building, it only has windows on the top floor, giving it the appearance of a fortified bunker. Building construction was overseen by the Ministry of Works, on behalf of the Government. Computer installation began in May 1975, with the system, itself, being operational by 1976, although data entry continued until 1978. The building was purchased by the National Library in 1997 to hold some of their heritage collections, as well as being sub-tenanted to private organisations.
Wanganui Computer
Established in 1976 under the Wanganui Computer Centre Act the "Wanganui Computer" was New Zealand’s first national law enforcement computer system, holding the personal information about many New Zealanders in relation to motor vehicles, driver’s and firearms licences, crime and traffic offending and criminal convictions. It allowed law enforcement agencies, including the Police, Transport, Courts, and Corrections , among others, to share information via a nationwide network of computer terminals. Described as "the most significant crime-fighting weapon ever brought to bear" [in New Zealand] by then Police Minister Allan McCready. For its time, the Wanganui Computer broke new ground and was a controversial initiative in the mass storage of New Zealanders' personal information on a computer system. In 1995, the Wanganui Computer was moved to Auckland and the Centre was closed.
Bombing
On 18 November 1982, a suicide bomb attack was made against a facility housing the main computer system of the New Zealand Police, Courts, Ministry of Transport and other law enforcement agencies, in Wanganui. The force of the blast made it so that police were initially unable to determine the sex of the perpetrator. The attacker, a "punk rock" anarchist named Neil Roberts, was the only person killed, and the computer system was undamaged. He had written on a piece of cardboard before the explosion, "Heres [sic] one anarchist down. Hopefully there’s a lot more waking up. One day we’ll win - one day." A public toilet nearby had the slogan "We have maintained a silence clo |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Association%20of%20Primary%20Care | The National Association of Primary Care is a membership association for Primary care professionals in the National Health Service and is the primary care provider network of the NHS Confederation.
Dr Caroline Taylor is the chair of the association. It has offices in London.
Until 1998 it was called the National Association of Commissioning GPs and many of its members were involved with GP Fundholding.
It is involved in the development of plans associated with the Five Year Forward View for bringing GP practices together across populations of up to 50,000 patients in what it calls the 'primary care home'. This is similar to the multispecialty community provider model, but on a smaller scale. This has been implemented in 15 pilot sites during 2016, covering around 500,000 patients. Occupational therapists, mental health therapists, clinical pharmacists and other clinical professionals are given a more prominent role in these organisations. The Nuffield Trust produced a preliminary report on it in August 2017, which was quite positive, but found would need time, money and strong working relationships across the NHS and social care to be effective.
Simon Stevens addressed a meeting of the association in October 2016 to explain plans for capital investment in 300 GP practices using the £900 million Estates and Technology Transformation Fund between 2016 and 2021.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognition%20enhanced%20Natural%20language%20Information%20Analysis%20Method | Cognition enhanced Natural language Information Analysis Method (CogNIAM) is a conceptual fact-based modelling method, that aims to integrate the different dimensions of knowledge: data, rules, processes and semantics. To represent these dimensions world standards SBVR, BPMN and DMN from the Object Management Group (OMG) are used. CogNIAM, a successor of NIAM, is based on the work of knowledge scientist Sjir Nijssen.
CogNIAM structures knowledge, gathered from people, documentation and software, by classifying it. For this purpose CogNIAM uses the so-called ‘Knowledge Triangle’. The outcome of CogNIAM is independent of the person applying it. The resulting model allows the knowledge to be expressed in diagrammatic form as well as in controlled natural language.
The different dimensions of knowledge
CogNIAM recognises 4 different dimensions of knowledge:
Data: What are the facts?
Process: How are facts generated/deleted/altered?
Semantics: What do the facts mean?
Rules: What conditions apply on the facts?
These dimensions influence each other heavily. Rules restrict data, Semantics describe the concepts and terms used in processes etc., therefore The aim of CogNIAM is to integrate these different dimensions.
Structuring knowledge
As mentioned earlier, CogNIAM classifies knowledge using the knowledge triangle . The knowledge that can be mapped to the knowledge triangle is structurally relevant and can be verbalised. Knowledge that cannot be verbalised, for example the ‘Mona Lisa’, is not included. Also the knowledge must be structurally relevant. Not structurally relevant is for example motivation (the why?). It is important information, but it is not an added value to the model. The remaining knowledge can be mapped to the knowledge triangle. The knowledge triangle consists of three levels
Level 1 – The level of facts
The majority of knowledge consists of concrete facts. Facts describe possible current, past or future states. In CogNIAM a fact is defined as “a proposition taken to be true by a relevant community”.
An example of a level 1 fact is:
“The capital of Italy is Rome.”
Level 2 – The domain-specific level
In this level the rules that govern the facts of level 1 are specified. For the example above a rule governing the level 1 facts could be “a country has exactly one capital”. This is a rule that ensures no untrue states or disallowed transitions between different states can occur at level 1. Besides rules level 2 contains six more knowledge categories, which are discussed in the next chapter.
Level 3 – The generic level
This level is not associated to any specific domain, it says nothing about capitals or countries. As level 2 governs the facts on level 1, the generic level governs the knowledge categories of level 2. It consists of the same knowledge categories, but here they are applied to the content of level 2. In other words, level 3 contains the rules that determine the rules. The generic level can also be seen as |

The organization is currently based at Penn State University.
History
The first meeting of CBWP took place in 2007. The organization was founded by Kathryn Belle. Belle felt that it was important to address the issue of the small number of black women in the field of philosophy. Belle reached out black women by email and was able to contact all thirty-one African American women professors, many of which were able to attend the first conference. The first conference was held at Vanderbilt University in 2008 and included Joyce Mitchell Cook, the first African American woman to earn a PhD in philosophy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN%20FD | CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate) is a data-communication protocol used for broadcasting sensor data and control information on 2 wire interconnections between different parts of electronic instrumentation and control system. This protocol is used in modern high performance vehicles.
CAN FD is an extension to the original CAN bus protocol that was specified in ISO 11898-1. CAN-FD is the second generation of CAN protocol developed by BOSCH. The basic idea to overclock part of the frame and to oversize the payload dates back to 1999. Developed in 2011 and released in 2012 by Bosch, CAN FD was developed to meet the need to increase the data transfer rate up to 5 times faster and with larger frame/message sizes for use in modern automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
As in the classic CAN, CAN FD protocol is designed to reliably transmit and receive sensor data, control commands and to detect data errors between electronic sensor devices, controllers and microcontrollers. Although CAN FD was primarily designed for use in high performance vehicle ECUs, the pervasiveness of classic CAN in the different industries will lead into inclusion of this improved data-communication protocol in a variety of other applications as well, such as in electronic systems used in robotics, defense, industrial automation, underwater vehicles, medical equipment, avionics, down-hole drilling sensors, etc.
CAN FD versus classic CAN
The primary difference between the classical CAN (Controller Area Network) and CAN FD is the Flexible Data (FD). Using CAN FD, Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are enabled to dynamically switch between different data rates and longer or shorter messages. Faster data speed and more data capacity enhancements results in several system operational advantages compared to classic CAN. Commands issued by the executing ECU software reach the output controller much faster. CAN FD is typically used in high performance ECUs of modern vehicles. A modern vehicle can have more than 70 ECUs that use CAN FD to exchange information over the CAN bus when the engine is running or when the vehicle is moving.
In CAN FD, it's possible to use the 11-bit identifier (FDBF FD base frame Format) or the 29bit identifier (FEFF FD extended frame Format). The message payload size has been increased to 64 bytes of data in each CAN-frame / message, compared to only 8-bytes in the classic CAN frame. A frame is a message transmitted as a sequence of binary bit-pattern. In CAN FD, the data rate (i.e. number of bits transmitted per second) is increased to be 5 to 8 times faster than the classic CAN (5 to 8Mbit/s for the data payload only, the arbitration bit rate is still limited to max 1Mbit/s for compatibility). Data rate depends on the topology of the bus network and the used Transceivers. CAN FD protocol specification includes some other enhancements as well, such as better detection of errors in the received CAN message and the executing software fle |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundtvigsk%20Forum | Grundtvigsk Forum, formerly known as Kirkeligt Samfund af 1898 and Kirkeligt Samfund, is a Grundtvigian network affiliated with Church of Denmark. It is headquartered in Vartov in Copenhagen.
History
Kirkeligt Samfund af 1898 was founded by right-leaning Grundtvigians in opposition to Indre Mission as well as left-leaning Grundtvigians. It achieved more influence than its actual support would suggest. The Grundtvig House, a new headquarters for the organisation, was built in Studiestræde in Copenhagen in 1908. The building was designed by Rolf Schroeder. The building was for many years used as a venue for meetings, debates and lectures. After World War II, it was ceded to Copenhagen Municipality in connection with Kirkeligt Samfund's acquisition of Vartov. The association gradually changed character and turned into am umbrella organisation for a number of Grundtvigian associations, communities, congregations and individuals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro%20Zeus | Nitro Zeus is the project name for a well funded comprehensive cyber attack plan created as a mitigation strategy after the Stuxnet malware campaign and its aftermath. Unlike Stuxnet, that was loaded onto a system after the design phase to affect its proper operation, Nitro Zeus's objectives are built into a system during the design phase unbeknownst to the system users. This built-in feature allows a more assured and effective cyber attack against the system's users.
The information about its existence was raised during research and interviews carried out by Alex Gibney for his Zero Days documentary film. The proposed long term widespread infiltration of major Iranian systems would disrupt and degrade communications, power grid, and other vital systems as desired by the cyber attackers. This was to be achieved by electronic implants in Iranian computer networks. The project was seen as one pathway in alternatives to full-scale war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike%20Woodger | Michael Woodger (born 28 March 1923) is a pioneering English computer scientist. He was influential in the development of the early Pilot ACE computer, working with Alan Turing, and later the design and documentation of programming languages such as ALGOL 60 and Ada. He was based at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) located in Teddington, London, for most of his career.
Mike Woodger was the eldest of four children. His father was Joseph Henry Woodger (1894–1981), a professor of biology at the University of London. He graduated from University College London in 1943 and worked at the Ministry of Supply on military applications for the rest of World War II. In May 1946, he then joined the new Mathematics Division at the National Physical Laboratory located in west London. At NPL, he worked with Alan Turing on the ACE computer design, leading eventually to the Pilot ACE computer after Turing had left NPL, first operational in 1950. He later worked on programming language design, especially ALGOL 60 and Ada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Nerbonne | John A. Nerbonne (born October 5, 1951) is an American computational linguist. He was a professor of humanities computing at the University of Groningen until January 2017, when he gave his valedictory address at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of his department there.
Career
Nerbonne was born in Boston. He graduated from the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in 1979 with an M.A. in Germanic Philology, from the Ohio State University in 1984 with an M.Sc. in Computer and Information Science, and from the Ohio State University in 1984 with a Ph.D. in Linguistics. After that, he worked in industry for eight years: five years at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, and three years at the Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz. In 1993, he was appointed as Professor in Humanities Computing at the Department of Information Science at the University of Groningen. He was the director of the Groningen Center of Language and Cognition for fourteen years and supervised over 30 dissertations. In 2002, he was elected president of the Association for Computational Linguistics. Under his reign, Aravind Joshi was awarded the first ACL Lifetime Achievement Award.
In addition, Nerbonne has taught at Ohio State University (1981-1985), Stanford University (1987-1990), Saarland University (1990-1992), the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (1991), the Linguistics Institute of the Linguistic Society of America (1993), University of Stuttgart (2001) and was a guest researcher at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (Yokosuka) for two months in 1996.
Research
Nerbonne's research has ranged broadly within Linguistics and Computational Linguistics. His Ph.D. thesis was completed under the
supervision of David Dowty and concerns the syntax and semantics of temporal expressions in German. The grammar fragment there served as
the basis for a number of early computational implementations of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG), e.g., in Berlin and Stuttgart (LILOG) and led to several journal publications. After his Ph.D. he pursued computational linguistics in an applied setting, at Hewlett-Packard Labs, where he supervised linguistic work.
His work includes both theoretical and applied topics in computational linguistics, including detecting syntactic differences in corpora, natural language interfaces, semantics, language contact, grammar development, computer-assisted language learning, information extraction and simulations of language learning. Over the last decade, he focused more on creating computational tools for analyzing pronunciation differences, contributing a number of techniques to dialectology. His contributions in dialectology have given rise to the so-called School of Groningen in that field.
Nerbonne has served as associate editor of Computational Linguistics and has published there as well as in the international refereed journals Linguistische Berichte; Machine Translation; Linguistics; Linguistics and Ph |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star%20Academy%20%28Greek%20TV%20series%29 | Star Academy is a Greek reality TV show, and a licensed version of Endemol's Star Academy franchise. The series began on March 17, 2017 on the E Channel network and was completed on July 15, 2017. The judges were Anna Vissi (later replaced by Katerina Gkagkaki), Petros Kostopoulos, Nikos Mouratides, Nikos Karvelas (later replaced by Alexandros Rigas) and Natalia Germanou.
A day prior the show's premiere, a program called Star Academy Kick off Live aired, which took place in the academy, the house of the contestants, and was presented by Katerina Kainourgiou and Themis Malis. There, three boys would sing live and people would vote their favourite; the boy with the most votes, would be the 16th contestant of the show. The show was renamed from the fifth live episode to Super Star Academy, due to Epsilon TV owing money to Endemol, the worldwide franchise's production company, which therefore prohibited the station from airing the show under its brand name.
The headmistress of the academy was Katerina Gkagkaki and the teachers consisted of Aleksandros Rigas, Antonis Voerakos, Vasiliki Dimitropoulou, Vasilis Kostopoulos, Nikos Marianos and Polina Prelorentzou. The academy itself would operate inside a villa in Koropi (known as one of the filming sets for Mavra Mesanychta).
Xristina Xirokosta was the winner of the show. Her first song, Des Kathara, was released by Panik Records on YouTube, on February 28, 2018.
Production
Scheduling
The live episodes would air Fridays at 20:45. From the show's rename and onwards, the weekly timeslot was moved to one day later. The daily episodes would be on air at first six and then five times a week at 21.00 and during them, the viewers could watch the contestants` life in the academy. During its original run, a program called Star Academy Magazine regarding the latest news about the show would air five times a week. The show would also broadcast on MegaOne in Cyprus. The last daily episode aired on March 12, 2017, and then the show was dropped out of the channel's programming, due to low ratings.
Criticism
For the most part, the show would gather a lot of criticism. Audiences and online news editors criticized the show's host, Menios Fourthiotis, for his narcissistic behavior and use of language. His "fake" arguments with Nikos Karvelas, another judge notorious for his rude behaviour, were also criticized. Kosmas Vidos of To Vima referred to certain events in the show as "the epitome of coarseness." An event in which Christiana Mpounia, one of the contestants, was singing Marina Satti's Mantissa, only to realize after a while that she couldn't be heard singing, as the song was playing in playback, which has been widely regarded as one of the biggest blunders on Greek TV, as well as another one in which popular folk singer Aggeliki Iliadi was singing while the camera would partially show her buttocks, have been particularly noted by the press media and the audience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmond%20de%20Rothschild%20Foundation%20%28Israel%29 | The Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (Israel) is a philanthropic foundation founded in Israel by the Rothschild family.
The Foundation operates within the framework of the international network of the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations around the world and continues the path of the Rothschild family's philanthropic heritage for more than 130 years.
The Foundation fulfills the Rothschild family's longstanding commitment to the pioneering spirit of the State of Israel and invests in agents of change and advancement of its new pioneers. The Foundation initiates dozens of innovative projects throughout Israel aimed at reducing social gaps and fostering young leadership.
The fundamental of the Foundation's goals is the aspiration to create a just, cohesive and shared Israeli society that drives deep processes of social change and promotes excellence, diversity and leadership through higher education.
The Foundation works to maximize higher education in as many communities as possible, to promote academic research, to engage artists in social involvement, to invest in economic-social models, and to foster young and committed leadership.
History
The Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (IL) was founded by the Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the grandson of Edmond James de Rothschild. While his grandfather made his mark on land acquisition, Baron Edmond de Rothschild will be remembered for his contribution to the industrialization of the Land of Israel and his generous contributions to educational and cultural institutions.
At the end of the 1950s, the Rothschild family transferred the Caesarea land (some ) to the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (IL) and invited the state to be a partner in the Foundation. The model according to which the foundation operates is a unique model whereby all the proceeds from the development of the Caesarea community are transferred from the subsidiaries of The Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (IL), the Caesarea Development Corporation and the Caesarea Properties Corporation to the foundation, which contributes to the advancement of education and higher education in Israel.
When Baron Edmond de Rothschild died in 1997, the banking and philanthropic foundations of the family moved to his son Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and his wife, Baroness Ariane de Rothschild, are involved and lead the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (IL) in Israel as part of the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation's network of educators in the world.
The Foundation Vision
The Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (Israel) exemplifies the Rothschild family's long-standing commitment to the pioneering spirit of the State of Israel.
As part of a tradition of more than 130 years, the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (IL) has pioneered a philanthropic vision that focuses on building a cohesive society by narrowing the social gap and promoting excellence, diversity and leadership through higher education.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated%20choreography | Computer-generated choreography is the technique of using algorithms to create dance. It is commonly described as using computers for choreographing dances, creating computer animations, studying or teaching aspects of human movement, illustrating dance movements, or assistance in notating dances. It may also be applied in terms of choreographic software for stimulation, enabling real-time choreography and generative dance, or simulation with virtual dancers in the field of Dance technology. Historically, computers and dance can be traced back to the 1960s, for example, Michael Noll wrote an article about his work, titled "Choreography and Computers", published in Dance Magazine in 1967.
Multiple projects have worked with computers and choreography to create movement materials, choreographic scores, and other digital outcomes, for example:
Merce Cunningham used the software Lifeforms by Credo Interactive (later Danceforms) to create dance works, starting in the 1990s with Thecla Schiphorst.
ChoreoGraph was a software tool from 1998 by choreographer Michael Klien and programmer Nick Rothwell. It was used to generate the score for the work Nodding Dog for the Volksoper Vienna as well as Duplex in 2001 and Einem in 2002 for Ballett Frankfurt, ZKM and Tanzquatier Wien.
Improvisation Technologies was a CD-Rom by William Forsythe and Christian Ziegler, Produced at ZKM Karlsruhe in 1999 Starting as a way to document his processes for Ballet Frankfort, Forsythe developed this digital tool for analyzing movement.
Software for Dancers was a UK-based project led by Scott deLahunta in 2002. Manifesting as a think tank, the project organized several workshops and symposia that explored rehearsal tools in the form of digital dance sketchbooks, performance tools, and documentation of dance.
Synchronous Objects uses the score of the Forsythe work One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000), to create data and transform the dance into choreographic objects. These objects include digital components such as the Counterpoint Tool.
Wayne McGregor has worked with the Choreographic Language Agent, an AI agent used to augment his process since 2004. The most recent iteration of this was Becoming a tool developed with Marc Downie and Nick Rothwell. The aim is to provoke new movement creation in the studio.
Choreographic Coding Lab is a touring laboratory looking to explore connections of the data generated during dance and choreography with coding.
Kate Sicchio joins the fields of computer-generated choreography and Live coding, through her projects Hacking Choreography (2012) and Hacking Choreography 2.0 (2014).
Analogues to computer-generated choreography can be seen in traditional dance such as the Maypole dancing.
Google releases a deep learning based AI Choreographer (2021) which outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods, both qualitatively and quantitatively in generating realistic and captivating dance sequences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ath%C3%A9n%C3%A9e%20Robert%20Catteau | The Robert Catteau secondary school () is a French-speaking school owned by the City of Brussels, located on rue Ernest Allard, part of the subsidized public schools network enseignement officiel. Since 1948, it holds the name of Robert Catteau (1880-1956), attorney, journalist and alderman of the City of Brussels. The original name of the school was École moyenne A, founded in 1851 within the Free University of Brussels. The school provides modern general education preparing for university studies and qualifies itself as a "center of excellence".
History
The building of the École moyenne A, in Art deco style, took place from 1923 to 1927 between the Church of Saints-Jean-et-Étienne-aux-Minimes and the Palace of Justice, following plans of architect François Malfait.
The ancient convent of the Minimes, built on the house of Renaissance anatomist Andreas Vesalius, had been decommissioned in 1790, and served successively as a deposit of begging in 1801, a tobacco factory in 1813, a lithography workshop in 1815, a military hospital and finally a women's prison before being destroyed in 1920. Malfait had to contend with the height difference and the strict height limit of the buildings to preserve the panorama of the Poelaert square located above. The new buildings of the Middle School A were inaugurated on September 27, 1927. On December 7, 1948, the school became the Athénée Robert Catteau.
In 1948, the upper grades comprised three classical orientations: the Latin-Greek, Latin-Mathematics and Latin-Sciences sections (created in 1947). A Scientific A section was created in 1951 and a seventh secondary preparatory grade to higher education in 1958. The Athénée opened to girls in 1978. In 2011, sections were restructured in order to adapt to other establishments in the Brussels-Capital region. The Latin-Greek, Latin-Mathematics and the Latin-Sciences final orientations remained unchanged, but Scientific A became Mathematics-Sciences and a new finality was added: the Economy-Mathematics section.
On January 1, 2016, Evelyne Gotto replaced André Possot as head of the athenaeum.
Architecture
The building is built of light colored brick, in the geometric spirit of Art Deco, with decorative elements of red brick and white stone for the sculptures and the large cornice in cavet that crowns the top of the building.
Educational system
The school offers a traditional (non-renovated) education which has the reputation of being demanding and rigorous. For example, it emphasizes the study of ancient languages and is strongly centered on theoretical sciences and mathematics.
The Athénée is a public school following the curriculum of the City of Brussels public school system, and furthermore is part of the Enseignement officiel network of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
The complementary 7th secondary grade prepares students, mainly coming from other secondary schools or other countries, to Polytechnic, Medicine or Science faculties, as well as to the |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9lestine%20Ketcha%20Court%C3%A8s | Célestine Ketcha Courtès (born 13 October 1964) is a Cameroonian politician who serves as mayor of Bangangté and is president of the Network for Locally Elected Women of Africa (in French, Réseau des Femmes Elues Locales d’Afrique, often called REFELA).
Early life and education
Courtès was born on 13 October 1964 in Maroua in the northern region of Cameroon. Her father, who she is named after, was the Chief Superior of Bangangté from 1912 to 1943. He died when she was 14. In order to escape a marriage her grandfather, King Franćois Njiki, had arranged, she moved to Foumban high school before returning to Manengouba high school where she completed a German A4 Baccalaureat. She has a diploma of Higher Education in Commercial Techniques and a Diploma of Higher Studies in Commerce and Economy from the ESSEC in Douala. She has dual nationality (France and Cameroon), which earned her criticism from political opponents.
Career
Courtès worked as a sales and marketing executive for the Dimenteries du Cameroun. She joined the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement due to her admiration of President Paul Biya, and became president of its women's organisation OFRDPC.
Courtès was elected mayor of the commune of Bangangté in the Ndé division of the West Region in 2007. She is Queen mother of Bangangté and Bangoulap. She also served as Vice President of the Association for Municipal Help and Development, President of Panthère du Ndé, Ambassador of French-speaking Africa in the European Union Working Groups on Dialogue Structure on Aid.
Courtès set up a business called Queen Fish Cameroon, which sought to break the monopoly of Congelcam. After her mother's death, she set up a charitable foundation in her memory called "La Case à la Table Ouverte de Maman Pauline." In June 2014, she received a United Nations Public Service Award in a ceremony in Seoul for her humanitarian work for a project aimed to provide potable water to all inhabitants of Bangangté, meeting the Millennium Development Goals.
In July 2011, a lawsuit was brought by Courtès' cousin, a shareholder of a similar company, alleging irregularities in her business. She was sentenced to one year imprisonment with a three-year pardon by the District Court of Wouri after being found guilty of forgery and the abuse of social assets and credits. She was also ordered to pay a fine of 15 million CFA franc. On 8 January 2015, the Court of Appeal upheld the award of the district court but reduced the sentence to a 167,100 Cfa fine and nine-month detention. The case is being appealed to the Supreme Court.
At the end of her mayoral term in 2013, Courtès was a candidate for the National Assembly and was criticised for holding dual citizenship in a country that does not recognise it and for voting in French elections. She was re-elected as mayor in September 2013 for another term until 2018, but has faced criticism of her leadership, as well as praise as a model of leadership in Africa in the fight for equality |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV%20White%20Space%20Database | TV White Space database, also commonly referred to as (TV) geolocation database, is an entity that controls the TV spectrum utilization by unlicensed white spaces devices within a determined geographical area. Its sole objective is to enable unlicensed access to white space spectrum while protecting incumbent broadcasting services. TV White Space database was first brought as a way to overcome the technical hurdles faced by spectrum sensing techniques to precisely detect very weak primary signals.
Spectrum is deemed available, or unavailable, to unlicensed usage depending on criteria that are regulator specific and thus the database operation can significantly vary between countries. Regulations on white space spectrum utilization are of extreme importance since they pose limits to the amount of white space spectrum that can be reclaimed by White Space technology for wireless broadband access. Having a certain degree of spectrum accessibility is crucial to the relevance and the successful adoption of TVWS as a technology.
The FCC and Ofcom were the first two spectrum regulators to draft rules enabling unlicensed access to unused TV spectrum in US and UK, respectively. Similar actions were taken by regulators from other countries including Industry Canada and iDA of Singapore. Currently, many companies have obtained authorization to operate geolocation databases upon successfully complying to regulatory requirements.
Dependency on regulations
The amount of white space that can be reclaimed for broadband access is directly related to regulations governing white space access in a country. Currently, spectrum regulators from several countries have determined the set of rules to access white space in a secondary manner and which database operators must follow in order to be authorized for service provision. Particularly, in the US, the FCC had originally limited secondary access to white space spectrum based on a fixed transmit power rule. TV White Space was available to secondary devices provided that these kept a safe distance from the broadcaster contour, depending only on the antenna's altitude and not transmit power. This has been shown to significantly affect the amount of white space available in a country. FCC regulations on power emissions were later modified to accept a set of limited transmit powers. Several other factors also directly impact white spaces. How to process topography and the adopted radio propagation model, both being determined by regulations, have been recently shown to play a key role on the degree of white space availability of a country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBeaver | DBeaver is a SQL client software application and a database administration tool. For relational databases it uses the JDBC application programming interface (API) to interact with databases via a JDBC driver. For other databases (NoSQL) it uses proprietary database drivers. It provides an editor that supports code completion and syntax highlighting. It provides a plug-in architecture (based on the Eclipse plugins architecture) that allows users to modify much of the application's behavior to provide database-specific functionality or features that are database-independent. This is a desktop application written in Java and based on Eclipse platform.
The community edition (CE) of DBeaver is a free and open source software that is distributed under the Apache License. A closed-source enterprise edition of DBeaver is distributed under a commercial license.
History
DBeaver was started in 2010 as a hobby project. It was supposed to be free and open-source with a good-looking and convenient UI and to include frequently used features for database developers.
The first official release was in 2011 on Freecode.
It quickly became a popular tool in the open-source community.
In the same year, the official web site was founded and the community support forum (now moved to GitHub) was created.
In 2012 an Eclipse plugin version was released - since then DBeaver has become one of the most popular database extensions for Eclipse (top 50-60 among all Eclipse extensions).
Shortly after, various software vendors started to integrate with DBeaver (mostly as an extensions to their proprietary Eclipse RCP products: Zend Studio, NXTware, DeltaDNA, etc.).
In 2014 the Enterprise Edition (EE) version was released. The EE version is based on CE but also provides support of NoSQL/BigData databases (Cassandra, MongoDB and Redis) and includes a few additional Eclipse plugins.
In 2015 the DBeaver source code/community moved to GitHub.
In 2017 DBeaver CE was relicensed under Apache License (starting from version 4.x).
In July 2017 DBeaver EE version became commercial in order to support CE version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20System/390 | The IBM System/390 is a discontinued mainframe product family implementing ESA/390, the fifth generation of the System/360 instruction set architecture. The first computers to use the ESA/390 were the Enterprise System/9000 (ES/9000) family, which were introduced in 1990. These were followed by the 9672, Multiprise, and Integrated Server families of System/390 in 1994–1999, using CMOS microprocessors. The ESA/390 succeeded ESA/370, used in the Enhanced 3090 and 4381 "E" models, and the System/370 architecture last used in the IBM 9370 low-end mainframe. ESA/390 was succeeded by the 64-bit z/Architecture in 2000.
History
On September 5, 1990, IBM published a group of hardware and software announcements, two of which included overviews of three announcements:
System/390 (S/390), as in 360 for 1960s, 370 for 1970s.
Enterprise System/9000 (ES/9000), as in 360 for 1960s, 370 for 1970s.
Enterprise Systems Architecture/390 (ESA/390) was IBM's last 31-bit-address/32-bit-data mainframe computing design, copied by Amdahl, Hitachi, and Fujitsu among other competitors. It was the successor of ESA/370 and, in turn, was succeeded by the 64-bit z/Architecture in 2000. Among other things, ESA/390 added fiber optics channels, known as Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON) channels, to the parallel (Bus and Tag) channels of ESA/370.
Despite the fact that IBM mentioned the 9000 family first in some of the day's announcements, it was clear "by the end of the day" that it was "for System/390," although it was a shortened name, S/390, that was placed on some of the actual "boxes" later shipped.
The ES/9000 include rack-mounted models, free standing air cooled models and water cooled models. The low end models were substantially less expensive than the 3090 or 4381 previously needed to run MVS/ESA, and could also run VM/ESA and VSE/ESA, which IBM announced at the same time.
IBM periodically added named features to ESA/390 in conjunction with new processors; the ESA/390 Principles of Operation manual identifies them only by name, not by the processors supporting them.
Machines supporting the architecture were sold under the brand System/390 (S/390) from September 1990. The 9672 implementations of System/390 were the first high-end IBM mainframe architecture implemented first with CMOS CPU electronics rather than the traditional bipolar logic.
The IBM z13 was the last z Systems server to support running an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode. However, all 24-bit and 31-bit problem-state application programs originally written to run on the ESA/390 architecture readily run unaffected by this change.

ES/9000
Eighteen models were announced September 5, 1990 for the ES/9000 in three form factors; the water-cooled 9021 to succeed the IBM 3090, and the air-cooled standalone 9121 and rack-mounted 9221 to succeed the IBM 4381 and 9370 respectively.

There are places where I overdo it for someone, and in the past I've been chasing minor injuries. Also, in the first part, due to this personality, he was temporarily unable to fight. The reason for becoming Hoshimori is "I thought that Irouth was a bad guy who erased people's smiles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDAS%20technical%20analysis | In finance, MIDAS (an acronym for Market Interpretation/Data Analysis System) is an approach to technical analysis initiated in 1995 by the physicist and technical analyst Paul Levine, PhD, and subsequently developed by Andrew Coles, PhD, and David Hawkins in a series of articles and the book MIDAS Technical Analysis: A VWAP Approach to Trading and Investing in Today's Markets. Latterly, several important contributions to the project, including new MIDAS curves and indicators, have been made by Bob English, many of them published in the book.
Paul Levine's initial MIDAS work and the new MIDAS approaches developed in the book and other publications by Coles, Hawkins, and English have been taught at university level and are currently the subject of independent study intended for academic publication. The same MIDAS techniques have also been widely implemented as part of private trader and hedge fund strategies. The MIDAS curves and indicators developed by Levine, Coles, Hawkins, and English have also been commercially developed by an independent trading software company for the Ninja Trader trading platform, while individual curves and indicators have been officially coded by developers of a large number of trading platforms, including Metastock, TradeStation, and eSignal.
The new MIDAS curves and indicators are in line with the accomplished MIDAS goal of developing an independent approach to financial market analysis with unique standalone indicators available for every type of market environment while also offering information not available from other technical analysis systems.
The MIDAS Approach to Technical Market Forecasting
The MIDAS approach to the technical forecasting of asset prices reduces to five key tenets concerning market price behaviour.
Tenet (1)
Underlying all superficially random asset price behaviour is an order that cannot be identified by the majority of technical analysis approaches. This order - a complex fractal hierarchy of support and resistance levels - is the fundamental reality intrinsic to market price behaviour. Price movement occurs when price tests support or resistance and either breaks to new levels or fails in this process, in which case asset prices either reverse or continue to test until a break does occur, eventually moving prices to new levels.
Tenet (2)
This fundamental order in the markets - the interplay between support and resistance - is a coaction between accumulation and distribution.
Tenet (3)
The trading psychology behind accumulation and distribution can be analysed quantitatively from raw price and volume data and reveals a mathematical symmetry between price support (accumulation) and price resistance (distribution). In other words, the same mathematical formulae can be used to forecast future levels of support as resistance levels.
Tenet (4)
For input to the mathematical formulae, it's essential to focus on price and volume data subsequent to a reversal in trend and thus to a major |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith%20v%20Lloyds%20TSB%20Bank%20plc | was a judicial decision of the English High Court relating to the Data Protection Act 1998.
The claimant was seeking data from the bank, and he sought to advance two relatively novel lines of argument. The first was referred to in the case as the "once processed always processed" argument, i.e. that even if the respondent no longer held the data in electronic form, if they once held it in electronic form they are obligated to provide it. The second was that if data was held in a non-electronic form but could readily be turned into electronic form, then it constituted data for the purposes of the act. Both arguments failed.
Facts
The claimant, Mr Smith, was the former managing director and controlling shareholder of a company called Display Electronics Ltd (referred to in the judgment as "DEL"). At some time in 1988, Mr Smith decided to transfer the banking for DEL from Barclays Bank Plc to Lloyds Bank. At that time DEL owed Barclays over £250,000. An agreement was entered into between Mr Smith, DEL and Lloyds under which Lloyds would take over the funding of the development, but one of the terms of this agreement was that both Mr Smith's personal borrowings (which at that time were very small) and DEL's borrowings would be subject to a security interest over the development in favour of the bank, and also by a mortgage on Mr Smith's home. DEL did not prosper, and eventually Lloyds called in its loans. As a result, DEL went into liquidation, and Mr Smith lost his home. The bank also lodged a bankruptcy petition with respect to Mr Smith personally. A number of litigation cases ensued between Mr Smith and Lloyds. One of the assertions Mr Smith made in these cases was that he and Lloyds had entered into an oral agreement to the effect that Lloyds would make available to DEL long term finance in a substantial amount. Lloyds always denied the existence of any such oral agreement. In at least two of the actions findings of fact had been made to the effect that no such oral agreement existed. But Mr Smith believed that certain documentation held by Lloyds will prove his contentions.
In the various prior proceedings between Mr Smith and the bank there had been only very limited disclosure by Lloyds. Accordingly, Mr Smith felt that the crucial documents evidencing the oral agreement have been withheld from the courts. The purpose of his application was to secure access to them pursuant to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. Specifically he sought a declaration that certain Notes and Memoranda recorded by Lloyds, whether filed under his own name or that of DEL, are Mr Smith's personal data in a relevant filing system, as defined in the 1998 Act, and an order that Lloyds provide copies to Mr Smith of certain documents.
Judgment
Laddie J commenced his judgment by noting that Mr Smith's case appeared to run contrary to the two leading decisions in this area of the law: the judgment of the Court of Appeal in and a former deci |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeroFox | ZeroFox Holdings, Inc. is an external cyber security company based in Baltimore, Maryland. It provides cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) for organizations to expose and disrupt phishing and fraud campaigns, botnet exposures, credential theft, impersonations, data breaches, and physical threats that target brands, domains, people, and assets.
History
ZeroFox was created in 2013 under the name Riskive, but changed to its current name months later. The company began as a startup in an 8,000 sq. ft. space inside Betamore - a startup incubator in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood.
In 2015, ZeroFox raised $27 million in Series B funding. By 2016, the company had outgrown its space and moved to an 18,000 sq. ft. space inside a former Pabst Brewing facility in South Baltimore. In 2017, ZeroFox raised $40 million in funding led by Redline Capital Management, a European venture firm, and Silver Lake Waterman, a fund that focuses on pre-IPO companies. Prior investors New Enterprise Associates, Highland Capital Partners and Core Capital also contributed. The investment helped bring ZeroFox's total funding to $88 million.
ZeroFox partners with other software organizations such as IBM, Hootsuite, Splunk, ThreatQuotient, and others to visualize, analyze, and predict cyber security threats to respond quickly to reduce the impact of incidents. ZeroFox partners with Google Cloud to warn users against phishing domains.
In 2020, ZeroFox closed a new $74 million round of financing led by Intel Capital. This funding round was one of the largest a Maryland cyber firm has landed in recent years. This brings ZeroFox's backing to $162 million to date.
In May 2022, the fraud-tracking website Hucksters.net reported that takedownreporting.com, an anonymous website that had been generating hundreds of fraudulent "takedown" requests under the guise of U.S. trademark laws, is in fact owned by ZeroFox and being used by their corporate clients to delete unflattering web pages from the internet.
The company went public on August 4, 2022 through a $1.4B SPAC deal. In the deal, ZeroFox also acquired ID Experts Holdings, Inc. (“IDX”). The combined company is now called ZeroFox Holdings, Inc. and trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “ZFOX” for its common stock and “ZFOXW” for its publicly traded warrants.
ZeroFox has satellite offices in Portland, Santiago, London, and Bengaluru.
Freddie Gray protest surveillance
The company faced criticism over its handling of the 2015 protests over the death of Freddie Gray when it singled out its nonviolent organizers. ZeroFox labeled DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie as high physical threats to law enforcement despite not being suspected of any criminal activity. ZeroFox was unsuccessful at differentiating between impersonating troll accounts and Elzie's actual social media presence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio%20Pudahuel | Pudahuel is a Chilean radio station located at 90.5 MHz of the FM dial in Santiago de Chile. It also transmits to the rest of the country with its network of repeaters, and via internet for the rest of the world.
His institutional voice is that of Balmores Fajardo.
History
Radio Pudahuel began broadcasting on October 15, 1968, under the wing of the society Blaya and Vega, composed by Joaquin Blaya Barrios and Ricardo Vega, also the radio was under the partnership of Blaya and Campo Limitada composed by Joaquin Blaya Barrios and Pedro del Campo Benavente. Its name derives from the commune where were its first studies and that had just changed its name. In 1970 he moved to the center of Santiago, to Miraflores 130.
It is one of the oldest Modulated Frequency Radios in Chile, and since its inception it has been 90.5 FM in Santiago de Chile, as well as the long and extensive network of stations throughout the country that it has acquired over time.
In its beginnings, the radio was popular cut and news, without marking a clear style. It was only in 1979, when the radio moved to Las Condes, which was adopted an Anglo-pop style, which was maintained until 1985, when he turned to a Latin style after Pablo Aguilera's arrival to the station, which earned him For a long time the first place of audience, according to Ipsos surveys of the time, especially between the late 80s and mid 90s, being great competition for the now defunct Radio Aurora (today Radio Imagina). Thus were created the slogans like La radio de Chile, El sonido de Chile or La primera en tu corazón, con toda razón.
At the end of the 1980s, its expansion began throughout the country. The first cities to expand were Valparaiso in 107.7 FM (today 105.7 FM) and then the city of Curicó in 93.9 FM. Since 1993 it has achieved national coverage, becoming the radio with the country's first satellite network. Note that none of the Santiago radios had a satellite network in those years that covered the whole country, only some capital stations had stations of their own, while others came to regions only by associated radios.
Today Radio Pudahuel has a program directed especially to middle-class women. Currently, according to the latest measurement of Ipsos, Pudahuel is among the 5 most-heard stations in Santiago, a situation that is repeated in much of the country. In 1999 the company Blaya y Vega - owner of Pudahuel and administrator of the frequency 89.3 FM of Santiago, belonging to the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile - is acquired by Ibero Americana Radio Chile.

Produced by Cartoon Network Studios, it premiered on July 7, 2018. The series depicts the episodic adventures of Oscar and Hedgehog, both of whom are attending the eponymous summer camp. The show premiered with a 48-hour marathon consisting of the first 20 episodes running over an entire weekend, on both Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Another 20 episodes premiered on June 23, 2019, as the second half of the first season.
Four additional seasons premiered exclusively on HBO Max, at approximate six-month intervals from June 2020 to December 2021. The series' sixth and final season was originally to be released in 2022 on HBO Max.

Creator Julia Pott has stated that she was not informed regarding the reason for its removal.
The series concluded on August 11, 2023.
Synopsis
Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, Summer Camp Island follows two childhood best friends Oscar Peltzer, an elephant, and Hedgehog, a hedgehog, who are dropped off at a magical summer camp. The camp is a host to many bizarre occurrences, such as camp counselors who are popular girl witches, horses that transform into unicorns, talking sharks, yetis, haunted cabins, post-it notes that lead to other dimensions, and nosey monsters that live under the bed. Oscar and Hedgehog must contend with these out-of-place events and make their stay at camp worthwhile.
Episodes
Characters
Main
Oscar Peltzer (voiced by Justin Felbinger in the pilot and Elliott Smith ["The First Day"–"The Library"], Asher Bishop ["Spell Crushers"–"Glow Worm"], and Antonio Raul Corbo [Season 3 onwards] in the series), an 11-year-old anthropomorphic elephant who is best friends with Hedgehog. Oscar tends to be socially awkward and slightly uncomfortable with his new surroundings. When he sets his mind to something, he will become determined to perform any task or complete any objective. He has a strong connection to Hedgehog to the point that if she disappeared or something happened to her, he becomes inconsolable, though he does learn to work without her. He believes in order and will do anything to outsmart or outdo Susie, the camp counselor. He lives in New Jersey. In the episode "Glow Worm", he is revealed to be a magical glow worm, whose magical ability which is invisible to the naked eye, is capable of making positive and happy events occur when he does something nice, dedicated, considerate and happy and gives magic to other beings.
Hedgehog (voiced by Ashley Boettcher in the pilot and Oona Laurence in the series), an 11-year-old anthropomorphic hedgehog who is best friends with Oscar. She is the more level-headed and logical of the two. She mostly wants to help Oscar out of his comfort zone, but also wants to outdo Susie. Du |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Cartoon%20Network%2C%20Inc. | The Cartoon Network, Inc. is an American multinational entertainment company that oversees Warner Bros. Discovery's channels for children, including its flagship service, Cartoon Network. It is a division of its domestic networks unit.
History
On August 9, 1986, Turner Broadcasting System acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists. On October 18, Turner forcibly sold back MGM. However, Turner kept much of the film and television library made before May 1986 (including some of the UA library) and formed Turner Entertainment Co. On October 8, 1988, its cable channel Turner Network Television was launched and gained an audience with its extensive film library. In 1991, Turner also purchased the library of animation studio Hanna-Barbera. Ted Turner selected Betty Cohen (then-Senior Vice President of TNT) to devise a network to house these programs. On February 18, 1992, Turner Broadcasting announced its plans to launch Cartoon Network as an outlet for an animation library. On March 12, 1992, The Cartoon Network, Inc. was founded after Turner's plans in one month ago. On October 1, 1992, its namesake TV channel officially launched as the first 24-hour single-genre cable channel with animation as its main theme.
In 1994, Hanna-Barbera's new division Cartoon Network Studios was founded and started production on What a Cartoon!. This show debuted in 1995, offering original animated shorts. In 1996, Cartoon Network aired two preschool programs: Big Bag, a live-action/puppet television program with animated short series produced by Children's Television Workshop, and Small World, which featured animated series aimed at preschoolers imported from foreign countries. Turner Broadcasting System merged with Time Warner, which consolidated/reverted ownership of all the Warner Bros. cartoons. The network could then continue more original productions.
From January 4, 1999, Cartoon Network aired Ed, Edd n Eddy until its finale in November 8, 2009, making it the longest running standalone original series in rank.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraform%20%28software%29 | Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code software tool created by HashiCorp. Users define and provide data center infrastructure using a declarative configuration language known as HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), or optionally JSON.
Design
Terraform manages external resources (such as public cloud infrastructure, private cloud infrastructure, network appliances, software as a service, and platform as a service) with "providers". HashiCorp maintains an extensive list of official providers, and can also integrate with community-developed providers. Users can interact with Terraform providers by declaring resources or by calling data sources. Rather than using imperative commands to provision resources, Terraform uses declarative configuration to describe the desired final state. Once a user invokes Terraform on a given resource, Terraform will perform CRUD actions on the user's behalf to accomplish the desired state. The infrastructure as code can be written as modules, promoting reusability and maintainability.
Terraform supports a number of cloud infrastructure providers such as Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, Serverspace, Selectel Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure,Yandex.Cloud, VMware vSphere, and OpenStack.
HashiCorp maintains a Terraform Module Registry, launched in 2017. In 2019, Terraform introduced the paid version called Terraform Enterprise for larger organizations.
License change
Terraform was previously open-source and available under version 2.0 of the Mozilla Public License (MPL). HashiCorp on 10 August 2023 adopted the Business Source License v1.1 for many of their products, including Terraform. The Business Source License, unlike the MPL, is not open-source but is instead source-available. In response, a group of users published the OpenTF manifesto on 15 August asking HashiCorp to continue publishing Terraform under an open-source license. The group subsequently announced on 25 August that due to the lack of any favorable response from HashiCorp they would then be forking Terraform as OpenTofu based on the last available MPL-licensed version of the software code (v1.5.5) and would be working to have the project be hosted under the Linux Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durant%20v%20Financial%20Services%20Authority | is a judicial decision of the English Court of Appeal in relation to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. The case is one of the leading appellate decisions in relation to the application of that Act.
Facts
Mr Durant had been a customer of Barclays Bank. There was litigation between Mr Durant and the bank in 1993, which he lost. Subsequently, he has sought disclosure of various records in connection with the dispute giving rise to that litigation, records which, the Court of Appeal recorded "he believes may assist him to re-open his claims against it and/or to secure an investigation of its conduct". In about July or August 2000, he sought the assistance of the Financial Services Authority (the "FSA") to obtain this disclosure. The FSA investigated his complaint against the Bank, eventually closing that investigation in March 2001, without informing Mr Durant of its outcome, pursuant to its obligation of confidentiality under sections 82 to 85 of the Banking Act 1987. In October 2000, Mr Durant complained about that refusal to the FSA's Complaints Commissioner, who adjudicated upon and dismissed that complaint.
In September and October 2001, Mr Durant made two requests to the FSA under section 7 of the Data Protection Act, seeking disclosure of personal data held by it, both electronically and in manual files. In October 2001 the FSA provided Mr Durant with copies of documents relating to him that it held in computerised form, disclosure that went beyond his entitlement under the Act, which is to have communicated to him in an intelligible form "information constituting any personal data" of which he was the subject. However some of the documents were redacted so as not to disclose the names of others. The FSA later made further disclosure of computerised material. But the FSA refused the whole of his request for information held on manual files on the ground that the information sought was not "personal" within the definition of "personal data" in section 1(1) of the 1998 Act, and that, even if it was, it did not constitute "data" within the separate definition of that word in section 1(1)(c). The FSA has since maintained that refusal, which encompasses four categories of file.
Judgment
Lower courts
Mr Durant's application originally came before District Judge Rose who refused to make an order for further disclosure against the FSA. That decision was appealed to His Honour Judge Zeidman QC sitting in the Edmonton County Court, who dismissed that appeal. With the leave of Ward LJ, Mr Durant further appealed to the Court of Appeal.
Court of Appeal
for the purposes of the appeal the FSA provided copies of the relevant documents to the Court. The Court of Appeal also received as fresh evidence a (second) witness statement from an associate in the Enforcement Division of the FSA about its filing system and various files and documents to meet certain points raised for the first time in the appeal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imieli%C5%84ski%E2%80%93Lipski%20algebra | In database theory, Imieliński–Lipski algebra is an extension of relational algebra onto tables with different types of null values. It is used to operate on relations with incomplete information.
Imieliński–Lipski algebras are defined to satisfy precise conditions for semantically meaningful extension of the usual relational operators, such as projection, selection, union, and join, from operators on relations to operators on relations with various kinds of "null values".
These conditions require that the system be safe in the sense that no incorrect conclusion is derivable by using a specified subset F of the relational operators; and that it be complete in the sense that all valid conclusions expressible by relational expressions using operators in F are in fact derivable in this system.
For example, it is well known that the three-valued logic approach to deal with null values, supported treatment of nulls values by SQL is not complete, see Ullman book.
To show this, let T be:
Take SQL query Q
SELECT NAME
FROM T
WHERE (CLASS = 'Networks' AND SEMESTER = 'Spring') OR (GRADE = 'A' AND SEMESTER <> 'Spring')
SQL query Q will return empty set (no results) under 3-valued semantics currently adopted by all variants of SQL. This is the case because in SQL, NULL is never equal to any constant – in this case, neither to “Spring” nor “Fall” nor “Winter” (if there is Winter semester in this school). NULL='Spring' will evaluate to MAYBE and so will NULL='Fall'. The disjunction MAYBE OR MAYBE evaluates to MAYBE (not TRUE). Thus Igor will not be part of the answer (and of course neither will Rohit). But Igor should be returned as the answer.
Indeed, regardless what semester Igor took the Networks class (no matter what was the unknown value of NULL), the selection condition will be true. This “Igor” will be missed by SQL and the SQL answer won’t be complete according to completeness requirements specified in Tomasz Imieliński, Witold Lipski, 'Incomplete Information in Relational Databases'. It is also argued there that 3-valued logic (TRUE, FALSE, MAYBE) can never provide guarantee of complete answer for tables with incomplete information.
Three algebras which satisfy conditions of safety and completeness are defined as Imielinski–Lipski algebras: the Codd-Tables algebra, the V-tables algebra and the Conditional tables (C-tables) algebra.
Codd-tables algebra
Codd-tables algebra is based on the usual Codd's singe NULL values. The table T above is an example of Codd-table. Codd-table algebra supports projection and positive selections only. It is also demonstrated in [IL84 that it is not possible to correctly extend more relational operators over Codd-Tables. For example, such basic operation as join is not extendable over Codd-tables. It is not possible to define selections with Boolean conditions involving negation and preserve completeness. For example, queries like the above query Q cannot be supported.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissel%E2%80%93Lehmer%20algorithm | The Meissel–Lehmer algorithm (after Ernst Meissel and Derrick Henry Lehmer) is an algorithm that computes exact values of the prime-counting function.
Description
The problem of counting the exact number of primes less than or equal to x, without actually listing them all, dates from Legendre. He observed from the Sieve of Eratosthenes that
where is the floor function, which denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x and the run over all primes .
Since the evaluation of this sum formula becomes more and more complex and confusing for large x, Meissel tried to simplify the counting of the numbers in the Sieve of Eratosthenes. He and Lehmer therefore introduced certain sieve functions, which are detailed below.
Key functions
Let be the first n primes. For a natural number a ≥ 1, define
which counts natural numbers no greater than x with all prime factors greater than . Also define for a natural number k,
which counts natural numbers no greater than x with exactly k prime factors, all greater than . With these, we have
where the sum only has finitely many nonzero terms because when . Using the fact that and , we get
which proves that one may compute by computing and for k ≥ 2. This is what the Meissel–Lehmer algorithm does.
Formula for Pk(x, a)
For k = 2, we get the following formula for :
For k ≥ 3, the identities for can be derived similarly.
Expanding 𝜑(x, a)
With the starting condition
and the recurrence
each value for can be calculated recursively.
Combining the terms
The only thing that remains to be done is evaluating and for k ≥ 2, for certain values of x and a. This can be done by direct sieving and using the above formulas.
History
Meissel already found that for k ≥ 3, if . He used the resulting equation for calculations of for big values of .
Meissel calculated for values of x up to , but he narrowly missed the correct result for the biggest value of x.
Using his method and an IBM 701, Lehmer was able to compute the correct value of and missed the correct value of by 1.
Extended algorithm
Jeffrey Lagarias, Victor Miller and Andrew Odlyzko published a realisation of the algorithm which computes in time and space for any . Upon setting , the tree of has leaf nodes.
This extended Meissel-Lehmer algorithm needs less computing time than the algorithm developed by Meissel and Lehmer, especially for big values of x.
Further improvements of the algorithm are given by M. Deleglise and J. Rivat in 1996.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic%20constraint%20logic | In theoretical computer science, nondeterministic constraint logic is a combinatorial system in which an orientation is given to the edges of a weighted undirected graph, subject to certain constraints. One can change this orientation by steps in which a single edge is reversed, subject to the same constraints. The constraint logic problem and its variants have been proven to be PSPACE-complete to determine whether there exists a sequence of moves that reverses a specified edge and are very useful to show various games and puzzles are PSPACE-hard or PSPACE-complete.
This is a form of reversible logic in that each sequence of edge orientation changes can be undone. The hardness of this problem has been used to prove that many games and puzzles have high game complexity.
Constraint graphs
In the simplest version of nondeterministic constraint logic, each edge of an undirected graph has weight either one or two. (The weights may also be represented graphically by drawing edges of weight one as red and edges of weight two as blue.) The graph is required to be a cubic graph: each vertex is incident to three edges, and additionally each vertex should be incident to an even number of red edges.
The edges are required to be oriented in such a way that at least two units of weight are oriented towards each vertex: there must be either at least one incoming blue edge, or at least two incoming red edges. An orientation can change by steps in which a single edge is reversed, respecting these constraints.
More general forms of nondeterministic constraint logic allow a greater variety of edge weights, more edges per vertex, and different thresholds for how much incoming weight each vertex must have. A graph with a system of edge weights and vertex thresholds is called a constraint graph. The restricted case where the edge weights are all one or two, the vertices require two units of incoming weight, and the vertices all have three incident edges with an even number of red edges, are called and/or constraint graphs.
The reason for the name and/or constraint graphs is that the two possible types of vertex in an and/or constraint graph behave in some ways like an AND gate and OR gate in Boolean logic. A vertex with two red edges and one blue edge behaves like an AND gate in that it requires both red edges to point inwards before the blue edge can be made to point outwards. A vertex with three blue edges behaves like an OR gate, with two of its edges designated as inputs and the third as an output, in that it requires at least one input edge to point inwards before the output edge can be made to point outwards.
Typically, constraint logic problems are defined around finding valid configurations of constraint graphs. Constraint graphs are undirected graphs with two types of edges:
red edges with weight
blue edges with weight
We use constraint graphs as computation models, where we think of the entire graph as a machine. A configuration of the machine c |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor%20Ireland | Eleanor D. L. Ireland (née Outlaw, born 7 August 1926) was an early British computer scientist and member of the Women's Royal Naval Service.
Early life
Eleanor Ireland was born on 7 August 1926 in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, England. She had one sibling, a brother, who was in the Royal Air Force, and later worked for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries as a statistician. Her father worked as a civil servant. Ireland attended Berkhamsted School for Girls from the age of ten, until she left at seventeen. At school, Ireland received distinctions in English language, English literature, French, and Biology.
After she finished school, Ireland moved to London in hopes of studying architecture. Despite being accepted into Regent Street School of Architecture, she ultimately did not attend because of World War II. Ireland believed it would be a waste of money to attend architecture school and risk being sent to war. She instead chose to work at a friend's philatelic shop on Chancery Lane until 1944. It was this year that she joined the Women's Royal Naval Service.
Career
Prior to World War II, Eleanor Ireland worked for a philatelist. Ireland volunteered for the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) in the spring of 1944, and received a letter on 2 August 1944, that she was accepted into the WRNS. Once accepted into the Women's Royal Naval Service, Ireland was kept at Tullichewan Castle, located near Loch Lomond, Scotland. For the first portion of time she was with the WRNS completing lower level work such as cleaning and food preparation. Next, Ireland was transported to Bletchley Park and was informed she was a part of PV Special Duties X. Like other women who wanted a job with the new machines, she had to score highly on a placement test. The work Ireland was involved with was top secret, and she, along with the other women she worked with, were told not to tell anyone any information regarding the work they were doing. The women were all required to sign the Official Secrets Act, promising not to divulge any information regarding their work. Ireland spent the rest of her time with the Women's Royal Naval Service living in Woburn Abbey. After the war, she was an artist.
After the war, she thought about going into interior decoration, but a "very formidable aunt" who taught art at a grammar school in Wolverhampton, persuaded her to study art at Regent Street Polytechnic School of Art, where she spent five years, and then found work doing book illustrations. After her sons grew up, she worked teaching art to adults.
Working on the Colossus
Ireland and Jean Beech, another WRNS employee, worked with a mathematician codebreaker while she was residing in Woburn Abby. She worked with the Colossus II to try to break different combinations of coded messages during World War II that the Germans were transmitting. Colossus had to break the daily encryption settings to solve Tunny code. She had to log all the tapes being sent to her by recording the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome%3A%20Caesar%27s%20Will | Rome: Caesar's Will is an educational adventure game released in 2000.
Production
A substantial part of the game's promotion was focused on an "innovative dialogue and artificial intelligence engine" called ReActiveAttitudes technology, which meant that the player could have a personality or "mask" when speaking to a character. If the player approaches the character in a "friendly" or "insulting" way, this would affect how the character interacted, resulting in branching narratives of allies and enemies.
Plot
The game revolves around a murder mystery set in 44BC. As a Roman legioner, the player takes on the role of detective who has to prove Aurelia didn't poison her husband, and solve the crime before time runs out.
Gameplay
The game has a time limit of 40 hours; actions such as moving locations via the map cause the player to lose precious seconds. The interface contains an inventory of items, a notepad to write down clues, and an encyclopedia to give the player additional background knowledge as they play.
Critical reception
Jeux Video praised the music and sound effects for creating a sense of atmospheric suspense. Tom Houston of Just Adventure criticised the ReActiveAttitudes technology for not delivering a diverging series of stories as promised.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajemnica%20Statuetki | Tajemnica Statuetki is a Polish-language adventure game developed and published by Metropolis Software House for DOS-based computers in 1993. While it was never released in English, it is known in the English-speaking world as The Mystery of the Statuette. The game was conceived by a team led by Adrian Chmielarz, who used photographs taken in France as static screens within the game. The first title in the adventure game genre that was produced in Poland, its plot revolves around a fictional Interpol agent named John Pollack trying to solve a mystery associated with the thefts of ancient artifacts around the world.
At the time of the game's release, software piracy was rampant in Poland; the game, however, sold between 4,000 and 6,000 copies, becoming very popular there. Tajemnica Statuetki was praised for its plot and for being a cultural milestone that helped advance and legitimise the Polish gaming industry despite attracting minor criticism for its game mechanics and audiovisual design. The game found warm reception from both the gaming community and from industry magazines which tended to focus on the title's positives.
Gameplay
Tajemnica Statuetki is shown from a first-person perspective. It is a point-and-click adventure game that consists of a series of photographic images, although most information is communicated with text. The game is divided into three chapters, each of which takes place in a different location.
Players solve puzzles and interact with characters to progress through the story. The menu offers six different actions, equipment, and a map. The player uses the action commands in a manner similar to LucasArts adventures. The player completes actions by clicking a command button then either an inventory item or a part of the room screen.
Often, progression through the game requires the player to locate objects the size of a single pixel on the monitor; this is known as pixel hunting. The game's puzzles call on the player's knowledge of varying fields, such as cocktail recipes; the player is, for example, tasked with ordering a drink of the correct composition for a tourist.
Plot
When religious artifacts from around the world, often with insignificant market value, start to disappear, Interpol realises it is not the work of a dishonest collector. Clues lead suspicion to fall upon commando and former CIA agent Joachim Wadner, who appears unhelpful but intelligent. To catch the thief, Interpol chooses their best trainee, protagonist and playable character John Pollack, a young American of Polish descent. Pollack has unlimited funds at his disposal, complete a Rubik's Cube in under three minutes, and can kill with his bare hands. He takes his gadget briefcase, boards a submarine, and sails to the Pacific Ocean.
Pollack follows Wadner to San Ambrosio, an island off the coast of Chile. He completes a reconnaissance mission at a cafe by working there for weeks to complete trained movements like placing a napkin on a counte |
