https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry%20Richards | Laurence Dale Richards (born 1946) has been a key figure in the modern development (since 1981) of cybernetics as a transdisciplinary field of inquiry, often referred to as the new cybernetics. He was the first to create interdisciplinary masters and doctoral programs in engineering management, with curricula built explicitly on concepts drawn from systems theory and cybernetics. He served as president for both the American Society for Cybernetics (1986–88) and the American Society for Engineering Management (1998–99) and was elected an Academician in the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences in 2010.
Biography
Richards was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and grew up in Orono, Maine. He received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maine (1968). While serving as a pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps, he earned master's degrees in aeronautical systems from the University of West Florida (1970) and business administration from Mississippi State University (1974). He received his Ph.D. in operations research from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania (1980). Notable accomplishments included: Founding Chair of the Department of Engineering Management at Old Dominion University (1984–97); founding executive director of the Center for Commercial Space Infrastructure (1992–95), which subsequently morphed into the Virginia Space Flight Center and commercial spaceport on Wallops Island; Founding Dean of the School of Management and Aviation Science (1997-2004) at Bridgewater State University; inaugural Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (2004–15) and Interim Chancellor (2012–13) at Indiana University East; and, Interim Vice Chancellor & Dean for the Indiana University – Purdue University Columbus campus (2015–16). He retired from Indiana University in 2016 as Professor Emeritus of Management and Informatics.
Work
Richards' contributions can be sorted into three areas: (1) his development of constraint theory as an approach to the formulation of policy and technology strategy; (2) his advancement of the concepts associated with cybernetics as representing a new and powerful way of thinking; and (3) his application of cybernetic ideas to the design of a participative-dialogic society.
Constraint theory
In his book, Constraint Theory, Richards proposed that, in addressing problems and issues in complex systems involving many participants, desires be treated as constraints rather than as goals or objectives (as they are in traditional operations research problem formulation). In research for NASA, he applied constraint theory to the development of an approach for formulating policy on the selection of new space transportation systems, given the extreme uncertainty in the technologies that will be available by the time a new system becomes operational.
Cybernetics
Richards recognized a unique potential in the cybernetic version of systems thinking for addressing complex behavioral |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven%20Universe%3A%20Save%20the%20Light | Steven Universe: Save the Light is an action-adventure role-playing video game developed by Grumpyface Studios and published by Cartoon Network Games. Based on the television series Steven Universe, it is a sequel to the 2015 mobile game Steven Universe: Attack the Light, and is set before Steven Universe: Unleash the Light. It was released digitally on October 31, 2017 for PlayStation 4, on November 3, 2017 for Xbox One, and on August 13, 2018 for macOS and Windows; and released physically on October 30, 2018 for Nintendo Switch.
Gameplay
After the events of Attack the Light!, Steven, the Gems and their friends go on a quest to retrieve the Light Prism when the Homeworld Gem Hessonite (voiced by Christine Baranski) steals it.
Save the Light features seven playable characters from the series, Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Connie, Greg and Peridot, with four characters being equipped to a party at a time. The game has a "blend of real-time and turn-based combat", and more of a focus on exploration and puzzle-solving than its predecessor. Players are able to explore Beach City and surrounding areas, and engage in battles with enemies. During battle, the players' actions, which include attacking and defending, will build up the star meter, which allows the characters to pull off more powerful moves. A new feature allows characters to build up a relationship-based meter during battles and dialogue interactions; when filled, certain characters are able to fuse, such as Steven and Connie into Stevonnie.
Development
Grumpyface Studios collaborated on the story with series creator Rebecca Sugar, and cited the increased gameplay complexity compared to Attack the Light! as a reason for the switch to consoles. The game was announced at PAX East in March 2017. A port of the game to PC and Mac, by Finite Reflection Studios, was announced in July 2018, and confirmed to release on Steam in August 2018. The developers later teased another big announcement related to the game, eventually revealed to be a Nintendo Switch port, and a physical release of the game bundled with Capybara Games' OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch was released in May 2019 by Outright Games.
Reception
Upon release, Save the Light received mostly positive reviews. Polygon and Destructoid both praised the game's art direction, battle system, and connection to the series, but criticized the amount of bugs and glitches found at launch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit%20computational%20complexity | Implicit computational complexity (ICC) is a subfield of computational complexity theory that characterizes algorithms by constraints on the way in which they are constructed, without reference to a specific underlying machine model or to explicit bounds on computational resources unlike conventional complexity theory. ICC was developed in the 1990s and employs the techniques of proof theory, substructural logic, model theory and recursion theory to prove bounds on the expressive power of high-level formal languages. ICC is also concerned with the practical realization of functional programming languages, language tools and type theory that can control the resource usage of programs in a formally verifiable sense.
Implicit Representations of polynomial time
The important complexity classes of polynomial-time decidable sets (the class P) and polynomial-time computable functions (FP) have received much attention and possess several implicit representations. Two examples follow.
Cons-free programs
Jones defined a programming language that can solve decision problems where the input is a binary string, and showed that a problem can be decided in this language if and only if it is in P. The language can be briefly described as follows. It receives the input as a list of bits. It has variables that can point to the list and change by application of the "tail" operation so they can move forward on the list. It can define recursive functions, but has no Higher-order functions. Crucially, it has no data-type constructors (hence the name cons-free): the input list is the one and only data structure throughout the program. The lack of constructors limits the computational power of the language, so it is no wonder that it cannot decide all the decidable problems, but the interest in it for Implicit Computational Complexity lies in that it can decide exactly P, and this is independent of the execution time of the programs, that can be exponential. Interestingly, Jones has also shows that if non-determinism is added to the language (as in a Nondeterministic Turing machine), the class of problems that can be accepted is still P.
Function algebras with recursion on notation
Bellantoni and Cook showed that a certain class of functions coincides with FP. These are functions which are defined, like the primitive recursive functions, by a set of base functions and operators for constructing new functions from existing ones. A special recursion scheme is used instead of the primitive recursion scheme, as will be seen below, and in addition, the functions have their arguments partitioned in two "sorts". This is denoted by separating arguments by a semicolon: . The arguments following the semicolon are called safe (a more intuitive name might be "protected"). When a value is passed in a safe position, it is not allowed to grow too much — note the difference between clauses (3) and (4) below. Another important difference to the definition of primitive recurs |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantaya | Pantaya was an American OTT streaming service targeted for Hispanic and Spanish-language viewers. Content included programs and films released in Latin America and original programming, as well as Spanish dubs from Lionsgate's select catalogue.
The streaming service was available in the United States and Puerto Rico, and content can be accessed globally through other streaming services such as Amazon's Prime Video.
After the acquisition of Pantaya by TelevisaUnivision in May, 7 months later in December, Pantaya ceased its services, and notified users about the switch to ViX.
History
Pantaya was launched in August 2017 in a joint venture between Lionsgate and Hemisphere Media Group. Paul Presburger was appointed as CEO of the streaming service, who is also CEO of Pantelion Films. Lionsgate has owned 75% of the streaming platform while Hemisphere owned 25% at the time. In 2019, the platform has reached 500,000 subscribers. In that same year, Pantaya has expanded into producing original programming, starting with El juego de las llaves which debuted in August of that year.
In 2021, Hemisphere Media Group has acquired full ownership rights to the Pantaya streaming service from Lionsgate for $124 million, following the latter's decision to focus on the expansion of its Starz brand. Lionsgate's CEO Brian Goldsmith has stated that the studio was "very proud to have helped build Pantaya into the leading premium Spanish-language platform in the U.S.," and added that Hemisphere Media Group was "the right owner". Additionally, Hemisphere CEO Alan Sokol said that the company is aiming for expansion. “There’s so much more we can do, and the opportunity is so much greater,” Sokol said. “We’ve set a stated goal of 2.5 to 3 million subscribers by 2025. But honestly we feel that’s a conservative goal and that the opportunity is two to three times that." As of April 2021, there are 900,000 subscribers to Pantaya.
More recently, she had signed a deal with actress Fernanda Castillo, whereas the actress would star in Pantaya's upcoming projects.
In May 2022, TelevisaUnivision reached a deal with Hemisphere Media Group to acquire Pantaya, targeting the platform in order to fortify their own ViX streaming service. The acquisition was completed on September 13 of that year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12%20O%27Clock%20High%3A%20Bombing%20the%20Reich | 12 O'Clock High: Bombing the Reich is a 1999 computer wargame developed and published by TalonSoft. Designed by Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors, it is follow-up to Battle of Britain and a spiritual sequel to the 1985 wargame U.S.A.A.F. - United States Army Air Force.
Gameplay
The game simulates the strategic bombing campaign of the Allies against the Germans during World War II. Day and night combat are distinguished between. The overall player score is judged by the following: German industry collateral, German town collateral, and Luftwaffe production completion. The game has multiplayer options.
Development
The game was designed by Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors. The game reuses the game engine and interface from Grigsby's previous game with TalonSoft, Battle of Britain. Battle of Britain had marked Grigsby's return to the air-combat wargame format, which he had not attempted since U.S.A.A.F. - United States Army Air Force. While Battle of Britain had been a successor title to U.S.A.A.F., GameSpots Alan Dunkin described 12 O'Clock High as the older game's "true sequel", as it covered identical subject matter.
Reception
Bruce Grey of GameSpot acknowledged the game was meticulously researched, but that the end result was mediocre at best. CDMag's David Chong compared its "horrible interface" and "unimaginative game engine" to that used in Battle of Britain. John Thompson of The Adrenaline Vault thought the game's "pinpoint detail", "historical accuracy" and "depth of play" saw it trail in the legacy of 1977 Avalon Hill wargame Panzer Blitz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega-Merger | Mega-merger is a distributed algorithm aimed at solving the election problem in generic connected undirected graph.
Introduction
Mega-Merger was developed by Robert Gray Gallager at MIT in 1983. It applies a distributed divide and conquer approach mixed with a rank-based conquer strategy. The algorithm is usually presented through a village-city analogy. Each node in the graph indicates a village, while the edges that connect them are the roads and a rooted spanning tree in a sub-graph is a city. The whole graph is then a mega-city. Mega-Merger pushes villages to bind together to form cities according to each other's rank and edges. Cities are then formed by alliances or by conquering/absorption.
Pre-requisites
Mega-Merger builds a minimum spanning tree over connected graphs provided:
Total reliability: No message is lost in transmission.
UI (unique initiator): A single node starts the protocol.
Bi-directional communications channels: Each edge is bi-directional, communications can travel in both directions.
No further restrictions are necessary.
Algorithm
The algorithm assigns to each village a name and a rank, the former usually unique. The latter states the number of friendly mergers that the city has gone through, and the larger it is, the more powerful a city is considered. Moreover, to each edge is assigned a weight: each village/city has a minimum-weight edge also called merge link, that is the edge whose traversal has minimum cost.
The algorithm proceeds in consecutive stages until a mega-city is formed. Each city C computes its own merge link and sends a request for merging across . The request is handled by in the following ways:
Friendly merge: : If the cities share the same merge link and have same rank, a friendly merge occurs, and the two cities merge into one. A new name is picked for the newly created city, a ruling village is picked and the path from the previous ruler to the node in the merge link is re-oriented such that it leads to the new leader. The new city also has its rank increased by one. Notice as this is the only way two cities can increase each other's rank.
Absorption: : If the requesting city has a lower rank, the city in the receiving end enacts an absorption process: is absorbed like in the friendly merge, but loses its name and the resulting city has the rank of .
Suspension: : In such cases freezes the request: it waits to either be absorbed by rule 2 or to merge and increase its rank above the one of in order to be able to enact rule 1 and absorb .
Outside messages
No nodes in the graph have a list of villages belonging to their village, hence each time a city wants to look for edges leading outside of it, it has to adopt an ask-reply protocol. The city ruler sends a broadcast message through its spanning tree, and each node receiving it sends requests to its neighbors, excluding the edges to its child(ren) and parent. The response protocol is as follows:

It aired on cable network OCN at 21:00 (KST) every Monday and Tuesday, from April 17 to May 30, 2017 for 14 episodes. It was also released on SK Telecom's "oksusu" mobile app.
My Secret Romance was selected in the 2017 Top Creator Audition held by KOCCA. The series is the first OCN drama to air on Monday and Tuesday, as well as the first romance-themed OCN drama.
Synopsis
Jin-wook and Yoo-mi meet at a Gangwon-do resort and get caught up in a series of misunderstandings and accidents. Yoo-mi is there to attend her mother's second wedding while Jin-wook is there working as a bellhop (a position given to him by his Chairman father to teach him responsibility). Yoo-mi is charmed by Jin-wook's sly and playful personality, and they unexpectedly spend the night together. However, Yoo-mi disappears in the morning, leaving Jin-wook feeling perplexed and insulted.
Three years later, the two meet again when Yoo-mi becomes a nutritionist at the company cafeteria where Jin-wook works. It seems that once a playboy Jin-wook, has given up his carefree life and works at the company owned by his father. He has feelings for Yoo-mi and has kept her bra-pad as a memory of the night that they spent together. At first, he is strict toward her, though it is only because he is looking for reasons to be near her. He later confesses this to her and agrees to wait for her.
During the three years, Yoo-mi's mother has had a second child, Dong-goo, who is now three years old. Upon looking at Dong-goo, Jin-wook's father, the Chairman, mistakes him as Yoo-mi's son, not half-brother. The Chairman tells Jin-wook, admonishing him for having a child out of wedlock with a nutritionist. After finding this out, Jin-wook believes that he has wronged Yoo-mi and warms up to her, seeming to accept Dong-goo as his son. The misunderstanding is eventually cleared up but Yoo-mi gets upset at Jin-wook, accusing him of being with her only because he thought he had a child with her. Then enters a pretty girl, Joo Hye-ri (Jung Da-sol) who is deemed a "suitable" wife for Jin-wook. Yoo-mi's writer friend, Jung Hyun-tae (Kim Jae-young), is shown to have a secret crush on her. With all drama revolving around main characters' mothers, Cha Jin-wook and Lee Yoo-mi finally manage to keep their love strong, while also resolving their personal problems with their parents.
The drama ends with Hye-ri "traveling together" with Hyun-tae and Yoo-mi and Jin-wook attending Yoo-mi's mother's re-wedding and Jin-wook saying "Today is D-day. Do you know how much I've waited for this day?" and Yoo-mi replying "Me too."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General%20regression%20neural%20network | Generalized regression neural network (GRNN) is a variation to radial basis neural networks. GRNN was suggested by D.F. Specht in 1991.
GRNN can be used for regression, prediction, and classification. GRNN can also be a good solution for online dynamical systems.
GRNN represents an improved technique in the neural networks based on the nonparametric regression. The idea is that every training sample will represent a mean to a radial basis neuron.
Mathematical representation
where:
is the prediction value of input
is the activation weight for the pattern layer neuron at
is the Radial basis function kernel (Gaussian kernel) as formulated below.
Gaussian Kernel
where is the squared euclidean distance between the training samples and the input
Implementation
GRNN has been implemented in many computer languages including MATLAB, R- programming language, Python (programming language) and Node.js.
Neural networks (specifically Multi-layer Perceptron) can delineate non-linear patterns in data by combining with generalized linear models by considering distribution of outcomes (sightly different from original GRNN). There have been several successful developments, including Poisson regression, ordinal logistic regression, quantile regression and multinomial logistic regression that described by Fallah in 2009.
Advantages and disadvantages
Similar to RBFNN, GRNN has the following advantages:
Single-pass learning so no backpropagation is required.
High accuracy in the estimation since it uses Gaussian functions.
It can handle noises in the inputs.
It requires relatively few data to train.
The main disadvantages of GRNN are:
Its size can be huge, which would make it computationally expensive.
There is no optimal method to improve it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20M%C3%A1s | A Más (originally "a+" from 2017 to 2021) (stylized: a más+) is a national television network in Mexico operated by TV Azteca. It launched in five cities on March 20, 2017, and it expanded to 34 additional cities on April 7, 2017.
A Más is broadcast as the second digital subchannel (usually 7.2) of the Azteca 7 transmitters in each area. It was originally launched to provide increased regional programming.
History
Regional programming on TV Azteca prior to a+
From the privatization of Imevisión in 1993, the new Televisión Azteca immediately began seeking alliances with content partners to provide local and regional news and programming for air on its networks. In 1995, TV Azteca took on Síntesis, a successful local newscast in Tijuana, as a partner after Síntesis had been forced off of its previous broadcast home. In the state of Veracruz, it set up Veravisión, and it also established local news and programming operations in other cities including Mérida and San Luis Potosí. While many of these produced few programs outside of local news and were later subsumed into TV Azteca itself, Azteca Noreste, the division in Monterrey, remained a high-volume program producer, airing local Info 7 newscasts seven days a week in the morning and early afternoon as well as locally produced entertainment and sports shows.
Launch of a+
a+ was announced on March 13, 2017, coinciding with the relaunch of Proyecto 40 as adn40 that same day. On March 8, the Federal Telecommunications Institute approved the change in program identity, as well as multiplexing of additional transmitters to provide the a+ service.
The service began operation in five cities—Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Toluca and León—while expansion to 21 additional cities was initially planned by the end of the second quarter of 2017 and a third expansion phase slated for the second half of the year, 35 transmitters serving 34 cities were authorized for the service on March 22, 2017, with programs beginning on April 7, 2017; in August 2017, TV Azteca was further cleared to add a+ to 11 Azteca 7 transmitters, mainly in northeastern Mexico. The goal of the channel is to be a national service with programming tailored to the viewing preferences and needs of each local area. Programming for the a+ channels was developed in consultation with local businessmen and influencers in each area, through focus groups headed by Ninfa Salinas, sister of TV Azteca director general Benjamín Salinas.
Efrén Páez, an economic analyst with Mediatelecom, told Expansión that "although there have always been local stations, public and private, none of them have had the capital and resources of TV Azteca".
On December 13, 2017, the IFT deemed that with coverage of 60% of the population of Mexico, carriage of a+ should be made mandatory for satellite providers.
2021 relaunch
The network relaunched and changed its name from a+ to A Más, in part because of its increased national-level identity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabula%20crepidata | A fabula crepidata or fabula cothurnata is a Latin tragedy with Greek subjects. The genre probably originated in adaptations of Greek tragedy (hence the names, coming from crepida = sandal and cothurnus) beginning in the early third century BC. Only nine have survived intact, all by Seneca. Of the plays written by Lucius Livius Andronicus, Gnaeus Naevius, Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pacuvius, Lucius Accius, and others, only titles, small fragments, and occasionally brief summaries are left. Ovid's Medea also did not survive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agamemnon%20%28Seneca%29 | Agamemnon is a fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of c. 1012 lines of verse written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca in the first century AD, which tells the story of Agamemnon, who was killed by his wife Clytemnestra in his palace after his return from Troy.
Characters
Thyestis umbra (Thyestes' ghost), uncle of Agamemnon
chorus
Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon
nutrix (nurse)
Aegisthus, son of Thyestes, lover of Clytemnestra
Eurybates, messenger of Agamemnon.
Cassandra, Trojan princess, captive of Agamemnon
Agamemnon, king of Myceneae, and leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War.
Electra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra
Strophius, king of Phocis, husband of Agamemnon's sister
Orestes (silent role), son of Agamemnon, brother of Electra
Pylades (silent role), son of Strophius, friend of Orestes
The scene is laid partly inside and partly outside the palace of Agamemnon at Argos or Mycenae, on the day of the return of the king from his long absence at Troy, beginning in the period of darkness just preceding the dawn.
Plot
The blood-feud between Atreus and Thyestes was not ended with the vengeance which Atreus wreaked upon his brother. It was fated that Thyestes should live to father upon his own daughter a son, Aegisthus, who would slay Atreus and bring ruin and death upon Agamemnon.
The Trojan War is done, and now the near approach of the victorious king Agamemnon, bringing his captives and treasure home to Argos, has been announced. But his wife Clytemnestra, enraged at Agamemnon because he had sacrificed her daughter Iphigenia at Aulis to appease the winds, and full of jealousy because he brings Cassandra as her rival home, estranged also by the long-continued absence of her husband, but most estranged by her own guilty affair with Aegisthus, is now plotting to slay her husband on his return, gaining both revenge and safety from his anger.
Act I
The ghost of Thyestes, arriving from the underworld, calls upon his son Aegisthus to carry out the revenge which had been promised him by the oracle.
The Chorus of the Women of Argos or Mycenae complains of exalted fortune as unstable, full of anxieties and cares, and therefore gives preference to a modest life.
Act II
Clytemnestra, conscious of her own wickedness, and fearing punishment for her adultery now that her husband has just returned, meditates the destruction of Agamemnon as a remedy. The Nurse however, dissuades her from adopting such a step.
Aegisthus comes on the scene and finds Clytemnestra in a hesitating mood and prepared to yield to the wise counsels of the Nurse. He succeeds in diverting Clytemnestra from her new-born resolution, and on again towards her rash purpose.
The chorus of the women of Mycenae and Argos sing a triumphal hymn in honor of Apollo on account of the victory gained at Troy, but introduce laudatory addresses to Juno, Minerva and Jupiter.
Act III
Eurybates reports that Agamemnon has returned and is now approaching—that a tempest was visited upon t |

Plot
When Oedipus discovered his crime, he blinded himself; and went into exile with his daughter Antigone, who offered herself as guide. In the meantime his sons Eteocles and Polynices engage in war, the treaty binding them to reign alternately being violated.
Act I
Antigone, the daughter, becomes guide to her blind father, and prevails on Oedipus to relinquish his determination to die.
Act II
A messenger sent from Thebes, beseeches Oedipus that he should return and reconcile his sons. Oedipus refuses, and heading to the dismal forests, lavishes his insults upon his sons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troades%20%28Seneca%29 | Troades () is a fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of c. 1179 lines of verse written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca.
Characters
Hecuba, queen of Troy, wife of Priam
Chorus of Trojans
Talthybius, Greek herald
Agamemnon, Greek king
Calchas, Greek seer
Helena, "Helen of Troy"
Pyrrhus, son of Achilles
Andromache, wife of Hector
senex (old man)
Ulysses, Greek Hero
Astyanax, son of Andromache and Hector
nuntius (messenger)
Polyxena, daughter of Hecuba and Priam (silent role)
Plot
The siege of Troy is done and the city is now smouldering ruins. The victorious Greeks have gathered the rich spoils of Troy upon the shore, among these the Trojan women who await their lot to be assigned to their Greek lords and taken to the cities of their foes. But now the ghost of Achilles has risen from the tomb, and demanded that Polyxena be sacrificed to him before the Greeks shall be allowed to sail away. And Calchas, also, bids that Astyanax be slain, for only then can Greece be safe from any future Trojan war.
Act I
Hecuba laments with the Chorus of Trojans the destruction of their country and the death of Hector and Priam.
Act II
Talthybius relates that the Ghost of Achilles has appeared, and reproving the Greeks for their ingratitude, demanded that Polyxena, under the pretext of marriage with whom, he was slain, should be sacrificed at his tomb as an offering to the chthonic gods. Otherwise the Greeks will not have a favourable wind for their return.
Agamemnon and Pyrrhus quarrel about the sacrifice. Calchas is summoned and he asserts that not only must Polyxena be slain, but Astynax must also be hurled from the tower.
The Chorus denies that Achilles appeared as a spirit, and asserts that the soul dies forever with the body.
Act III
Andromache having taken alarm at a vision in her dream, hides away her son in his father's tomb. Ulysses in his cleverness discovers where he is, and drags him forth to meet his death.
Andromache mingles curses and threats with her supplications entreating Ulysses, but not prevailing upon him. The Trojans, once allotted to the Greeks, are to be conveyed to various parts of Greece—some to Sparta, some to Mycenae, some to Ithaca, and to the country of Helen, Agamemnon and Ulysses.
Act IV
The plan is discussed as to how the sacrifices to the chthonic gods and manes of Achilles are to be conducted; and in what garments, Polyxena, who is to be sacrificed under the impression of a real marriage, is to be arrayed. Also what part shall be played by Helen, in order that she may cajole Polyxena with the vain hope of marrying Pyrrhus: she at first, keeps up the pretence, but after a time dismisses the deception, having argued with Andromache, she confesses everything and openly recommends the fulfilment of the scheme.
The Chorus derives consolation from the misfortune being shared by so many; "as if for the wretched to have companions in sorrow were a solace," and then draws attention to the fact that the solace in question wi |

Characters
Juno, Sister and wife of Jupiter, and queen of heaven
chorus, Of Thebans
Amphitryon, Husband of Hercules' mother
Megara, Wife of Hercules and daughter of Creon
Lycus, Usurper of the throne of Thebes
Hercules, Son of Jupiter and Alcmena, but the reputed son of Amphitryon
Theseus, King of Athens and friend of Hercules
Plot
Lycus was exiled for his crimes by Creon the father-in-law of Hercules and king of Thebes. Hercules being at that time away in the underworld, where he had gone to seek out Cerberus as the final labour assigned him by Eurystheus through Juno's hatred. Here he found Theseus, who had made a descent into the regions of Pluto in company of Pirithous with the intention of carrying off Proserpine. Lycus seized his opportunity, and aided by conspirators, slayed Creon together with his two sons, and usurped the Kingdom of Thebes.
Act I
Juno vents her anger at the love affairs of Jupiter, his concubines and bastard offspring, and is very angry about the successes of Hercules, and so on his return from the underworld will be thrown by Juno into a state of mad frenzy.
The Chorus of Thebans beginning with a description of the dawn of day alludes to the customs of the times, condemning the pursuits and undertakings of the nobles. They reprove Hercules for his audacity in the attempting of his various labors, and finally extol and sigh for the tranquillity which is only to be found in leading a retired life.
Act II
Megara bewails the absence of Hercules, and complains of the violence and insolence of Lycus. Amphitryon pities the despondent state of Megara's mind, and tenders his consolation.
Lycus, having slain Creon and his sons, has established himself on the throne and governs the kingdom. He seeks to marry Megara, using every stratagem, and threatens violence in case she refuses.
Act III
Hercules asks for the pardon of Phoebus and the rest of the gods, that although having been commanded, he had dragged Cerberus from the underworld to the regions above.
Hercules having returned from the underworld with Theseus encounters Amphitryon who greets him and informs him about events. Hercules goes off to kill Lycus. Theseus provides Amphitryon with an account of the underworld and the deeds of Hercules.
The Chorus sings of the victory of Hercules gained in the underworld, and praises the hero.
Act IV
Hercules having returned after the slaughter of Lycus, as he is about to offer sacrifices to the gods whom he has invoked, becomes mad and under the influence of his madness, he kills his wife and children, and then falls into a deep sleep.
Act V
Hercules wakes, with his mind restored, and learns that he has killed his own children. He prepares to kill himself, but prevailed on, by the appeals of Amphitryon and Theseus, he refrains from suicide, and at the suggestion o |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules%20Oetaeus | Hercules Oetaeus (Hercules on Mount Oeta) is a fabula crepidata (Roman tragedy with Greek subject) of c. 1996 lines of verse which survived as one of Lucius Annaeus Seneca's tragedies. It tells the story of Hercules' betrayal by his jealous wife, Deianira, followed by his death and apotheosis. The general opinion is that the play is not Seneca's, but was written in close imitation.
Authorship
The play was first rejected by Daniel Heinsius in the 17th century, and the majority of modern critics agree that the play in its present form is not by Seneca. The work has many small differences in style from Seneca's other plays which "suggest a fundamentally different approach to playwriting". It is also around twice as long as Seneca's other plays, and is in fact the longest drama to survive from antiquity. Hercules Oetaeus contains numerous passages from Seneca's other plays which have been lifted out of context, reworked, and inserted into the play. The play's conclusion contains a strong Stoic theme which is not found in Seneca's other plays. However, there are scholars who defend the play as authentic (albeit hastily written), or argue that a later hand reworked an incomplete fragment. Critics in favour of this view argue that the first third of the play (lines 1–705) could have originally been written by Seneca but that the end of the play is not his.

Chorus, of Aetolian women, faithful to Deianira.
Band, of Oechalian women, suffering captivity in company with Iole.
Plot
The long, heroic life of Hercules has neared its end. His twelve great tasks, assigned him by Eurystheus through Juno's hatred, have been done. His latest victory was over Eurytus, king of Oechalia. Hercules slew the king and overthrew his house, because he would not give Hercules his daughter Iole in marriage. And now the hero, having overcome the world, and Pluto's realm beneath the earth, aspires to heaven. He sacrifices to Cenaean Jove, and prays at last to be received into his proper home.
Act I
The first scene, with the chorus following, is at Euboea, where Hercules, about to offer sacrifices on the promontory of Cenaeum, records his wishes for a place in the heavens, which he recounts and boasts he has deserved. (The rest of the Tragedy takes place at Trachis.)
Iole joining in with the Chorus of Oechalians, bewails the destruction of her country, the slaughter of her father and kinsfolk and lastly, her own position of servitude.
Act II
Deianira, furious with jealousy having seen Iole, debates revenge with her nurse. She decides to send a garment to Hercules anointed with the blood of the centaur |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian%20Geoscience%20Data%20Cube | The Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC) is an approach to storing, processing and analyzing large collections of earth observation data. The technology is designed to meet challenges of national interest by being agile and flexible with vast amounts of layered grid data.
The AGDC reduces processing time of traditional image analysis by calibrating, pre-computing known extents, pixel alignment and storing metadata in a cell lattice structure. The temporal-pixel aligned data can often be analysed faster across space and time dimensions than previous scene based techniques. This allows the AGDC to be flexible in tackling future challenges and improve analysis times on every-increasing data repositories of earth observation.
The AGDC has also been used internationally to allow countries to maintain ecologically sustainable programs and reduce the difficulty curve of utilizing Remote Sensing data.
Background
The AGDC was originally conceived by Geoscience Australia but is now maintained in a partnership between Geoscience Australia, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and National Computational Infrastructure National Facility (Australia) (NCI). This is made possible by the funding from the partnership and a number of organisations such as National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
Analysis ready data, ingestion and indexing
The data processed in the cube is made analysis ready before being ingested and indexed into the AGDC. Analysis ready data is pre-processed data that has applied corrections for instrument calibration (gains and offsets), geolocation (spatial alignment) and radiometry (solar illumination, incidence angle, topography, atmospheric interference). The ingestion process manages the translation of datasets into the storage units while maintaining a database index. The data within the storage and index can be accessed via API calls often compiled within code such as Python (programming language).
Example:
s2a_l1c = dc.load(product='s2a_level1c_granule',x=(147.36, 147.41), y=(-35.1, -35.15), measurements=['04','03','02'], output_crs='EPSG:4326', resolution=(-0.00025,0.00025))

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santini%27s%20Network | Santini's Network (original title: La Rete di Santini) (2014) is a biographical film by German filmmaker Georg Brintrup on the life of Roman music collector Fortunato Santini (1777–1861) and how his famous private assembly of manuscript scores grew into the greatest music collection of the age.
Plot
The subject portrays an extraordinary story and a fascinating itinerary of survival through unusual episodes in the progress of culture. When, at the turn of the eighteenth century, the Roman clergyman, Fortunato Santini, played by Italian actor Renato Scarpa, discovers at the age of twenty his fervent passion for music, he decides to dedicate the rest of his life to collecting the manuscript scores of the great composers, either autographs in their own hand or scores written out by professional copyists. These manuscripts kept and preserved the heritage of musical works until their reproduction and publication as printed scores. Over the course of fifty years his music collection swelled to 20,000 titles in 4,500 manuscripts and 1,200 printed copies, making it the most comprehensive collection of its kind anywhere. Santini's secret in preserving all these important works from the history of European music is the elaborate network of friends and acquaintances that he builds. Beginning in the libraries and among the cognoscenti of Italy, its reach extends throughout Europe, stretching from Rome to Vienna, from Paris to London, from Berlin to Moscow. Through his networking skills during his lifetime Santini became an international celebrity in the world of music
Compositions of the first importance in music history, otherwise at risk of disappearing into oblivion, were rescued and preserved through his unremitting efforts.
The film deals not only with the inception and growth of Santini's precious collection, but also with its conservation after his death. In 1862 the collection was purchased and transported from Italy to the city of Münster in Germany and lay there forgotten for 40 years. Then in 1902 this trove was rediscovered and brought to the attention of the public through by the work of Edward Dent, the distinguished British musicologist. Subsequently, the collection was saved from firebombs during World War II , and though partially damaged after the war by a devastating flood, the irreplaceable musical opus of Santini has survived.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic%20Action%20Cores | PRAC (Probabilistic Action Cores) is an interpreter for natural-language instructions for robotic applications developed at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bremen, Germany, and is supported in parts by the European Commission and the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Goals
The ultimate goal of the PRAC system is to make knowledge about everyday activities from websites like wikiHow available for service robots, such that they can autonomously acquire new high-level skills by browsing the Web. PRAC addresses the problem that natural language is inherently vague and unspecific. To this end, PRAC maintains probabilistic first-order knowledge bases over semantic networks represented in Markov logic networks. As opposed to other semantic learning initiatives like NELL or IBM's Watson, PRAC does not aim at answering questions in natural language, but to disambiguate and infer information pieces that are missing in natural-language instructions, such that they can be executed by a robot. "This problem formulation is substantially different to the problem of text understanding for question answering or machine translation. In those reasoning tasks, the vagueness and ambiguity of natural-language expressions can often be kept and translated into other languages. In contrast, robotic agents have to infer missing information pieces and disambiguate the meaning of the instruction in order to perform the instruction successfully." In addition to probabilistic relational models, PRAC uses the principles of analogical reasoning and instance-based learning to infer completions of roles in semantic networks.
PRAC has been successfully applied to teach robots to conduct chemical experiments and to make pancakes and pizza from wikiHow articles.

In October 2015, George Beall was introduced to Everipedia at a presentation in California State University, San Bernardino. After selling his technology start-up Touch Tiles in January 2016, Beall joined the group of co-founders.
In 2016, the site generated most of its revenue from advertisements. The company aims to generate income through ways apart from donations or banners.
In January 2017, they had eight full-time workers including two developers. By February 2018, headcount had increased to 15 full-time workers. , they raised $700,000 from angel investors. It was announced on February 8, 2018, that the company raised $30 million in funding headed by Galaxy Digital's EOS.io Ecosystem Fund. In December 2017, Everipedia announced that co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, had become the chief information officer of Everipedia. On October 18, 2019, Sanger announced his resignation from this position.
The majority of Everipedia's articles were copied from Wikipedia and promotional material about cryptocurrency and can still be accessed on the former domain.

The episode was written by series co-creator Jim Kouf and was directed by Aaron Lipstadt. In the episode, Monroe's uncle Felix is targeted by Black Claw agents for information about Grimms and he flees to Portland to sell Grimm books to Nick before is too late.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the return of the keys to the main storyline and the direction the show is taking.
Plot
Opening quote: "History is the nightmare from which I am trying to awake."
In Leipzig, Monroe's uncle Felix Dietrich (Rick Overton) is asked by Andrea Stroh to appraise books from the estate of Joseph Nebojsa. Two Anubis Wesen from Black Claw kill Andrea, and Felix flees to Portland with one of the books – written by and for Grimms – to show Nick (David Giuntoli), asking $100,000 for the collection. Nick is desperate to replace the books lost when Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) burnt his Aunt Marie's trailer, but doesn't have the money. The two Anubis Wesen arrive in Portland and kill Felix in his hotel room, where Nick and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) find a shipping slip which they follow to the killers; in a fit of rage, Monroe tears out their throats. Nick and Monroe find Felix's trunk and take it to the spice shop. In addition to detailed catalogs of Wesen, the books contain Grimm family trees, including Nick's ancestry. Monroe finds a secret compartment and, using his watchmaker skills, unlocks it. It contains three keys, and using these with the two keys Nick already had, they stamp together the five pieces of the Map of the Seven Knights, ancestors of the Grimm. It leads to a spot in the Schwarzwald (The Black Forest, Germany).

The episode was written by Sean Calder and was directed by Norberto Barba.
Plot
Two young employees stay late at Harrison's Outfitters, when Damien Barso (Gideon Emery) uses a key to enter the building. He generates fire from his body and sets fire to the building. The two employees are trapped in the office and when they discover the fire, it is too late to escape.
Nick, Hank and Wu are called in to investigate the deaths of the young folk. They meet John Harrison (John Murray), the owner of the store, and his son Andy (Hank Harris), whom John is grooming to take over the business, which has been in the family for three generations.
Lt. Willis (Jessica Caesar), the arson investigator, draws their attention to the weird nature of the fire. It seemed to start with the breaker box, but instead of following the ventilation system, seemed to walk through the building, turning corners. The only time it behaved like a normal fire was when the young employees broke the window of the office in an attempt to escape, providing oxygen to the flames, which crisped them.
Suspecting wesen involvement, Nick tasks Wu with looking for similar cases. He finds several and learns that they were being investigated by Bauerschwein arson investigator Lt. Peter Orson (Daniel Roebuck), whom Nick had put behind bars for murder in Season 1's fifth episode (The Three Bad Wolves). Visiting Orson in prison, Nick and Hank learn that Orson had actually seen the arsonist, but did not know his name. Orson convinces them to let him out (with tracking ankle bracelet) to help them.
Adalind (Claire Coffee) is keen to visit Nick and Juliette to get her daughter back, but Prince Viktor (Alexis Denisof) counsels diplomacy. To illustrate his point, he introduces Adalind to Sam Damerov (Kenajuan Bentley), with whom Sean Reynard (Sasha Roiz) has entrusted the information that he has on Kelly Burkhardt's (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) whereabouts. Damerov reports the information to Viktor.
Learning that the Harrison's business was facing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Nick and Hank visit Charles Laney (Allen Galli), the Harrison's lawyer. After they have gone, Laney alerts Barso, telling him that the deaths of the young people has elevated the intensity of the investigation. He and Barso meet in Laney's car. Laney advises Barso to kill his client so that he cannot be identified. Barso responds by setting fire to Laney and steps out of the car, which explodes soon after.
They learn that he is an excandesco through the trailer library, but the Grimm who wrote of an excandesco's role in the burning of Rome during Nero's reign was unsuccessful in his attempt to kill the excandesco responsible due to the extreme heat.

The episode was written by Thomas Ian Griffith and was directed by Terrence O'Hara.
Plot
After Nick (David Giuntoli) finds out that Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) has become a Hexenbiest, he visits Henrietta (Garcelle Beauvais), who says there is no cure and that Nick must either kill Juliette or accept her new status. He cannot cope with the change though, leading Juliette to leave.
Meanwhile, Nick, Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Wu (Reggie Lee) investigate the murder of a teenager named Peter whose foot was cut off by a wesen named Leporem Venator (a Black Fox-like Wesen). They discover the victim was a Willahara (rabbit like wesen), whose foot was cut off as he woged so it could be used by a couple to improve their fertility. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) go undercover to a Wesen fertility clinic to find the killer.
Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets Renard (Sasha Roiz), who says he knows of Juliette's change and that he sent her to Henrietta to learn more. Adalind pays Henrietta a visit to understand the extent of Juliette's powers, but instead learns that she is pregnant with Nick's child.

Critical reviews
"Bad Luck" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B+" rating and wrote, "'Bad Luck,' the show's return after a month-long hiatus, is an episode that is representative of the groove that Grimm has found itself in. The episode is largely a monster-of-the-week affair, in this case establishing the barbaric tradition that the left feet of a rabbit-like Wesen called Villeharra are considered potent symbols of luck and fertility. A hunter is doing good business marketing to desperate couples looking to conceive, farming a Villeharra family whenever he gets a new client. For an episode that's got an innately silly idea behind it, there's some genuinely good horror beats it gets — particularly early on, when the combination of axe-wielding murderer and teenager in letter jacket recreates the slasher movie beats and does so without being campy."

Critical reviews
"Double Date" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B" rating and wrote, "Unfortunately, while 'Double Date' has some interesting ideas in the nature of the Hunta Lami Muuaji it takes a disappointing solution to the problem. While in other circumstances Nick might try to find some middle ground, here his approach is blunt force by way of a crossbow, loading Linus/Stacy up with enough testosterone to keep the latter repressed so the former can be convicted of the crime. It's a problematic point (or an 'ethically ambiguous, morally grey area-type situation' as Monroe puts it) but the ethics of the argument are almost entirely glossed over. Despite the excellent framing of the church stand-off and the clear sense of loss on Linus's face when he's unable to reconnect, everything is tied off too neatly and without enough acknowledgement of how they're essentially killing Stacy off. True, the fact that they're both willing participants in the crime makes Nick's actions justified, but there's a whole level of ramifications here that Grimm doesn't have either the time or interest to explore."
Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 4 star rating out of 5, stating: "Well, that's the worst case of dissociative identity disorder I've ever seen. In Grimm Season 4 Episode 15, an unusual sort of Wesen actually had three forms: a male human, a female human, and its intermediate flatworm form."

The episode was written by Dan E. Fesman and was directed by Rob Bailey.
Plot
Opening quote: "How the silly frog does talk! He can be no companion to any human being!"
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the homicide of a cyclist named Zack found dead by a seemingly severe allergic reaction; they then meet an acquaintance of his, a 'Folterseele' (a golden/poison dart frog like wesen) named Bella Turner (Leah Renee) (inspired by the tale of The Frog Prince). According to Rosalee, Folterseele are a classically tragic - "always beautiful, always deadly" - type wesen, which are thankfully very rare as their skin secretes a highly poisonous deadly toxin poisonous touch which can kill, through no fault or intention of their own, with merely a single touch. They're also difficult to detect as they woge like no other Wesen, precipitated rather by sexual tension than emotion, usually via unwanted sexual advances. So, with help/advice from Rosalee & Monroe, Nick & Hank attempt to find a better solution rather than merely just locking her up.
When a new member of the Royal family shows up in Portland, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) and Adalind (Claire Coffee) realize the Royal family have stepped up their efforts to find Diana. This new Royal, Kenneth, is certainly not one to be trifled with. When Adalind attempts to pass off her second pregnancy as of royal conception, soon realises Kenneth is not one so easily fooled. Renard's undercover double-agent Sam, on passing on unsatisfactory info, is also quickly thwarted and killed.
A volatile Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), conflicted by her new Hexenbiest state, threatens Renard that he best find a solution as she wants her life back. When she finally returns home, regardless of Nick's pleading to the contrary, she informs him she's moving out; seemingly still holding Nick partly responsible for her unwanted predicament. Later she ponders whether to embrace her new self or attempt to get rid of it.
Bella Turner is attacked at her work place by another man from the cycling group. He also dies from her poison. She goes to her mother's house and hides in the barn. Her mother finds her and tries to comfort her. Inside the house her grandmother is heating up a branding iron. The mother and grandmother fight over the branding iron. The grandmother knocks the mother out. Nick and Hank arrive just in time to save Bella from having her face burned by her grandmother. They take Bella to the spice shop and offer her their cure for her toxin warning her that they don't know if it will work or what side effects it will have. She says it is better than never being able to touch someone who loves you, and drinks the potion.

Critical reviews
"Iron Hans" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode an "A−" rating and wrote, "The decision to burn things down literally and metaphorically caps off what's easily the strongest episode of Grimm since the show returned from hiatus, and also a contender for best episode of the season. I've regularly complained about how the multiple plotlines have made it hard to focus on any one thing at a time, and 'Iron Hans' benefits from both narrative and thematic tightness. Characters are interacting with each other rather than heading off on random adventures, history between them pays off in satisfying fashion, and for the first time in a while it feels like there's a destination for the madness."
Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 4 star rating out of 5, stating: "The snark is alive and well in Portland! It seemed like everyone had something to say in Grimm Season 4 Episode 19, 'Iron Hans.' Seriously, some of their quips had me in stitches! The writers were on fire for the one-liners, I have to say."
MaryAnn Sleasman from TV.com, wrote, "Destroying the trailer thrusts Nick back into the world of the unknown. It removes the complacency and confidence that came with having every answer at his fingertips. Wesen are suddenly mysterious and frightening again. This is the sort of move we'd expect in a season finale (eh, close enough, right?) and in the context of Grimm itself, it couldn't have come at a better time—or a worse time, if you're Nick."

Critical reviews
"You Don't Know Jack" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode an "A−" rating and wrote, "The fact that the show has gone the distance it has in reversing the roles of the two women is a large part why Grimm now feels like it's growing in the right directions. After 'Iron Hans' burned down literal and metaphorical links to Grimms past, 'You Don't Know Jack' doubles down on those moves by further pushing Adalind and Juliette into their opposite camps. And for the second week in a row, those moves feel like the right moves, as it's another exciting and captivating episode that's a cut above most of what's come yet this season."
Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 3.8-star rating out of 5, stating: "Prince Kenneth is too smug for his britches, that's for flaming sure. He easily manipulates Juliette into doing exactly what he wants, where he wants. Creep. Every time he opens his smarmy mouth, I imagine the comeuppance that I dearly hope is coming his way. Kenneth's plans play a significant role in Grimm Season 4 Episode 20, but a surprisingly interesting Case of the Week (a misnomer in this instance, since 'Jack' is still out there) and digging up Adalind's mother drew my attention away."

Critical reviews
"Mishipeshu" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B−" rating and wrote, "'Mishipeshu' is one of those occasional episodes of Grimm that decides to produce a story far outside their typical mythology scope. While the show is steeped in magic and the supernatural, most of what happens obeys a certain set of rules, few of which can't be explained by a visit to the all-knowing Airstream or the ever helpful spice shop. Every so often though, the writers will introduce something that states there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, beings whose nature defies categorization even to the Grimms. Season two's 'La Llorona' and 'Volcanalis' are prime examples, where the creature encountered is not what you'd identify as typical Wesen and whose origins remain in the realm of myth even after the story's resolution."
Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 3.5 star rating out of 5, stating: "Native American lore abounds with rich material for a show like Grimm to work with, so I'm a bit surprised it took them this long to visit something like this, with a spirit being possessing a young man to take vengeance on the men who killed his father. The titular Mishipeshu of Grimm Season 4 Episode 18 isn't a Wesen; it falls under the same unexplained, "other" category as Volcanalis and La Llorona."

Plot
Opening quote: "It is not down in any map; true places never are."
Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), Wu (Reggie Lee), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee (Bree Turner), and Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) continue to search for clues in the Map of the Seven Knights. Nick has a flashback of his mother, Kelly, telling him about the legendary seven keys belonging to seven knights, ancestors to all Grimm. The knights fought for seven royal families in the Fourth Crusade. The seven keys together made a map showing where the knights hid the wealth they took from Constantinople when it was sacked and burnt. Nick believes the treasure could be found. Trubel thinks they may have buried it in seven churches. Nick and Monroe travel to Germany on counterfeit passports, using Frederick Calvert (Rosalee's late brother) and Felix Dietrich as aliases, to avoid detection from the Black Claw. They travel to the church locations marked on the map, but find little that is old enough to be a possible location, and local Wesen become suspicious of their questions. Nick and Monroe travel at night to a spot in the forest near the site of the German Peasants' War, where they believe an ancient church may have stood. They discover chisel marks on old stones and end up falling into an old cavern.

Plot
Opening quote: "What's past is prologue."
Nick (David Giuntoli) and Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) fall into the catacombs of an ancient church in the Schwarzwald in Germany, where they find a small brass chest. As they emerge from the catacombs, they are discovered by the local Wesen and narrowly escape, though Monroe is bitten. Meanwhile, Portland mayoral candidate Andrew Dixon is killed by Marwan, a Black Claw assassin. While visiting the spice shop Adalind (Claire Coffee) is threatened by Rosalee's (Bree Turner) ex, Tony, causing her Hexenbiest powers to return. Tipped by Black Claw to the whereabouts of the Marwan, Renard (Sasha Roiz) tracks him and kills him during a fight. Unbeknownst to Renard, this foils the Hadrian's Wall plan to use the Marwan for information. Later, Renard is confronted with a Black Claw plan to become the new mayoral candidate, and is tempted by this position of power.
Nick and Monroe arrive at the spice shop and open the chest with Rosalee, Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Wu (Reggie Lee) present, finding an old shard of wood wrapped in a cloth. While debating its nature, Monroe begins to get sicker from the now-infected wound on his arm. Still holding the shard, Nick tries to help a stumbling Monroe, and the group is astonished when the wound on Monroe's arm fades; they deduce that the shard has healing powers.

They soon discover they are dealing with a disease named Lycanthropia that can make the Blutbaden beasts on a full moon. However, Wu is soon affected by this.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised Wu's character development.
Plot
Opening quote: "The world is full of obvious things which nobody by chance ever observes."
On the first night of the full moon, a young successful entrepreneur is driving on a deserted woodland road to go and visit his mother. His tire blows out and causes him to lose complete control of his car, and the car ends up ramming into a tree. He abandons his car and notices the sun is setting and he begins to run the last three miles. The next day, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby), respond to a call about an injured man up on the road. As soon as they meet the man, Nick and Hank sense something is wrong, so they decide to get help from Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) (and his extraordinary Blutbad sense of smell). Upon returning to the scene with Monroe, they find two hikers who have been brutally attacked by what looks like a Blutbad. In the course of their investigation, Monroe and Rosalee (Bree Turner) mention a disease, Lycanthropia, that turns a Blutbad into an uncontrollable beast every full moon.
Nick, Hank and Wu (Reggie Lee) suspect the young entrepreneur had something to do with it, and hold him at the station to see whether he woges or not. But it quickly becomes clear, however, that the Lycanthrope happens to be his mother, not him. They race up to her house and confront her, and try to sedate her in her Wesen form. She is accidentally killed, but not before she scratches Wu on his left leg. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) is offered an opportunity to reunite with her daughter, Diana. Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) discovers that Black Claw is actively trying to recruit Renard (Sasha Roiz).

It manages to juggle its humorous beats in a story that's ripe with darker and invasive themes, and manages not to devalue either of them as it moves through the mystery. It also takes some welcome steps to advance the ongoing plots, not so much providing clarity as renewing interest in what comes next."

With Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee's (Bree Turner) help, they set up a trap, and are apparently successful in stopping them.

Critical reviews
"Tree People" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club wrote, "'Tree People' is one of those Grimm episodes where the creative team puts its world building on hold and tosses its heroes into the unknown. While most conventional episodes have Nick learning about a new portion of the wesen world, installments like 'Volcanalis' or 'La Llorona' introduce an air of an even deeper mystery, creatures that not even his ancestors' journals or his wesen allies can fully explain. Rather than sabotaging the world-building, it helps keep the feeling that there's still uncharted territory in the world."
Kathleen Wiedel from TV Fanatic, gave a 3 star rating out of 5, stating: "Yeah, sure, the victims in Grimm Season 6 Episode 9 were all vile, nature-destroying malefactors, but what a way to go...! This story featured not one but two flora-related beings, the kinoshimobe and the people-eating tree. It's really sort of perplexing that this sort of thing hasn't come up before, actually."
Sara Netzley from EW gave the episode a "B+" rating and wrote, "All in all, this was a fun episode! In some ways, the villains were |

The episode was written by Brenna Kouf and was directed by Terrence O'Hara.

Meanwhile, the group contacts Renard for help in discovering more about the symbols, discovering the prophecy behind it. The episode is the first of a two-parter with the next episode as the second part. The episode's name is a spoof of the popular children's book of the same name.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the Zerstörer storyline.
Plot
Opening quote: "Hell is empty and all the devils are here."
Nick (David Giuntoli) arrives at the loft and talks with Adalind (Claire Coffee) about Renard's (Sasha Roiz) knowledge of Diana's (Hannah R. Loyd) danger (due to those symbols). Adalind finally admits that Diana is responsible for possessing Renard and killing Bonaparte and Rachel and they need to tell Renard about the carved symbol tunnel. Nick is weary of trusting Renard, but Adalind ensures he'd never harm Diana, and they need all the help they can get.
Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) return home and find the Hexenbiest book open, marks/blood on a new full-length mirror and Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) gone. They call Nick to help them find Eve, deducing she crossed the mirror and just then, the book magically locks itself and only Adalind can re-open it. Meanwhile, Eve wakes up in the other place which is a snowy land and discovers she is unable to return through the portal/mirror; as the image of home disappears, she discovers the same symbols carved on the standing-stone she passed through. She wanders around and sees a man being chased by three lionesque Wesen, who kill and devour the man, then kill some other chasing Wesen. Nick and Adalind arrive at Monroe's house with Diana. Adalind is the only one who can enter mirror with her spells, but Nick refusing she go alone, decides to use the stick as a way he might enter. Nick succeeds in opening the portal using the stick but the stick remains behind as "it doesn't belong there" (according to Diana).
Nick enters the mirror to find that the land is a resemblance to the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). He is attacked by a Blutbad who he kills with his gun. He finds Eve and they run from a group of Blutbaden. They finally reach a fort of humans, who eventually let them inside when they witness them killing some Wesen, but one of them flees. Nick and Eve show them the drawing of the skull creature, which the humans identity as "Zerstörer". The fleeing Blutbad is then confronted by Zerstörer. Meanwhile, Renard is called to help in finding out more about the symbols in the cloth. He contacts Dasha (Alla Korot), who explains that the real w |

In the episode, Nick and Eve struggle to fight against Zerstörer, who is also wanting to leave the other place and go to the real world to retrieve Diana for his own purposes.

The episode is the conclusion of a two-parter with the previous episode as the first part.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the Zerstörer's performance in the episode but some found the pace to be slowed down.
Plot
Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) and Nick (David Giuntoli) are in the other place, after forcing to be wogue by Zerstörer ("Destroyer" in German) they try to fight him together. Wu (Reggie Lee), Hank (Russell Hornsby), and Rosalee (Bree Turner) translate that the Zerstorer needs Nick in order to travel to present day Earth. Diana (Hannah R. Loyd) opens the portal to bring Nick back not knowing it would bring back the Zerstorer as well.
Diana hides with Kelly in the cabin in the woods from "Pilot" under Adalind (Claire Coffee) and Renard's (Sasha Roiz) protection since the whole gang believes Zerstorer is after Diana. Diana has a vision and knows that Zerstorer wants her and her brother Kelly too. Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni) arrives, having finished dismantling the criminal Wesen organization Black Claw for good. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Rosalee, and Eve figure out the stick they found in the Black forest is actually a long-hidden shard of wood from Zerstörer's powerful staff. Zerstörer attacks the precinct, to get the stick back from Nick, killing several officers including impaling Hank through the throat and stabbing Wu in the stomach.

Critical reviews
"Zerstörer Shrugged" received positive reviews. Les Chappell from The A.V. Club wrote, "While I still think it would have been interesting to see more of Zerstörer and the Other Place throughout the season, 'Zerstörer Shrugged' does a lot to make the Destroyer live up to his reputation. His entrance heralded by a flock of dead bats, diving thr |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts%20Computer%20Associates | Massachusetts Computer Associates (originally just Computer Associates), also known as COMPASS, was a software company founded by Thomas Edward Cheatham Jr. and based in Wakefield, Massachusetts from approximately 1961 to 1991, focusing primarily on programming language design and implementation, especially source-to-source transformation. It was acquired in the late 1960s by Applied Data Research.
Many well-known computer scientist were employed by, or consulted for, COMPASS at some point in their careers, including Michael J. Fischer, Stephen Warshall, Robert W. Floyd, and Leslie Lamport. Some of the systems they worked on include AMBIT/G and IVTRAN, a Fortran compiler for the ILLIAC IV.
Leslie Lamport wrote his influential "Time, Clocks" paper while he was at COMPASS.
The original vectorizing compiler for the ILLIAC IV was written at COMPASS with contributions by Lamport, who worked there part-time.
Robert Floyd's Treesort algorithm was published while Floyd was at COMPASS.
Corporate history
Applied Data Research (ADR) bought Massachusetts Computer Associates in the late 1960s. ADR was sold to Ameritech in 1986 and then by Ameritech to the (unrelated) Computer Associates of New York. Shortly after ADR was sold to Computer Associates, Compass was in turn sold to SofTech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsie%20Shutt | Elsie Shutt (born 1928) is a U.S. American computer programmer and entrepreneur. She founded Computations Incorporated (CompInc) in 1957 when she was not permitted to work part-time at home after she became pregnant. Shutt was one of the first women to start a software business in the United States.
Early life and education
Elsie Shutt was born in New York City and grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. After her father died when she was four, her mother worked as a chemistry technician at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Shutt attended Eastern High School in Baltimore and graduated with an undergraduate degree at age 20 from Goucher College, from which her mother had also graduated with a degree in chemistry. Shutt went on to complete a graduate fellowship at Radcliffe College in mathematics. She became the second-ever female teacher after Lisl Novak Gaal. Shutt was the first female graduate student to teach remedial trigonometry to Harvard students. Following this, Shutt was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to teach English in France.
Career
Early years
Shutt learned to program on ENIAC successor ORDVAC (Ordnance Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) under Dick Clippinger during a summer job at U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. In 1953 Shutt was hired at Raytheon (an aerospace and defense manufacturing company) by her old boss, Dick Clippinger. There, she started work on software for the Raycom computer. When she became pregnant in 1957, Massachusetts state law required her to quit Raytheon. However, Raytheon began to refer Shutt to their clients because the company was scaling back its outside programming projects. Shutt began doing freelance programming work from her home. This work was done for over a year with her friend Irma Wyman. Shutt eventually decided to pursue the entrepreneurial venture of starting a business that would give women part-time work in this technical field.
Computations Incorporated
Shutt founded Computations Incorporated (Comp Inc.) in 1957, as a primarily all-female company in the early era when software companies worked part-time from home as freelancers. Comp Inc., a Harvard, Massachusetts-based company, utilized systems analysis, and design along with programming help for both the business and scientific industries. Early employees, Elaine Kamowitz and Barbara Wade, who previously worked as freelancers before being incorporated, also bore children. Shutt reportedly refused to hire more than 13 staff members and led the company for more than 45 years. At the time, it was highly unusual for pregnant women to continue in their professional endeavors, leading some to dub Shutt and her employees "the pregnant programmers." She began Comp Inc. to prove that women could still hold programming occupations while taking care of a family—having a baby did not detract from their technical expertise. Shutt employed preferential hiring of young women with little children. She hoped that by doing this she would increase a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWWE-LD | KWWE-LD (channel 19) is a low-power television station in Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with MyNetworkTV, MeTV, and Telemundo. It is owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting alongside CBS affiliate KSWL-LD (channel 17). Both stations share studios on West Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles, while KWWE-LD's transmitter is located at the KTSR tower in Westlake.
History
Although granted a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 22, 2011, the station did not make it to air for another six years or so. The permit was granted under the assigned callsign of K19JB-D. It was originally owned by DTV America of Sunrise, Florida.
DTV America, which have launched several low-powered television stations in several other markets providing multicast network programming throughout the mid 2010s, initially planned to launch a MyNetworkTV/DrTV hybrid station on UHF channel 19 as they held a construction permit under a callsign of K19JB-D, but it never went on the air.
Those plans were canceled indefinitely in February 2017 when the permit for K19JB-D was sold to Lake Charles Television, LLC, a unit of Waypoint Media, which signed on CBS affiliate KSWL-LD in the same month.
The callsign was changed to the current KWWE-LD on February 7, 2017. The following month, KWWE-LD signed on as the area's first MyNetworkTV affiliate, but instead of DrTV, some syndicated programming surrounded the network's primetime schedule. Prior to this, KADN-DT3 in Lafayette (and its sister station and now-NBC affiliate KLAF-LD prior to that) served as the market's default MyNetworkTV affiliate. KWWE-LD's sign-on also left ABC as the only major network not available on a local outlet in the Lake Charles area (Lafayette's KATC-TV and/or Beaumont, Texas-based KBMT served as Lake Charles' default ABC affiliates until August 31, 2017 when Fox affiliate KVHP launched an ABC affiliate on its DT2 subchannel).
In addition to MyNetworkTV programming, KWWE-LD also serves as the Lake Charles market's MeTV affiliate, filling in programming for all time slots outside of the MyNetworkTV programming schedule with the MeTV schedule. Initially shown by itself on its LD2 subchannel, MeTV programming has since moved to KWWE-LD's main channel and was replaced on LD2 with a simulcast of KSWL-LD. In 2019, the station added Telemundo to its third subchannel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo-yo%20%28algorithm%29 | Yo-Yo is a distributed algorithm aimed at minimum finding and leader election in generic connected undirected graph. Unlike Mega-Merger it has a trivial termination and cost analysis.
Introduction
Yo-yo was introduced by Nicola Santoro. It proceeds by consecutive elimination and a graph-reduction technique called pruning. The algorithm is divided in a pre-processing phase followed by a cyclic repetition of a forward phase, called "Yo-" and a backward one, called "-Yo".
Pre-requisites
Yo-Yo builds elects a minimum leader under the following premises:
Total reliability: No message is lost in transmission.
Initial Distinct Values (ID): Each node has a unique identifier.
Bi-directional communications channels: Each edge is bi-directional, communications can travel in both directions.
No further restrictions are necessary.
Algorithm
Preprocessing
The preprocessing phase is started with a broadcast. At awake state, each node sends its id to all of its neighbors and orients the edge towards the higher-degree node. Note as this is just a logical step, the bi-directional channel is not lost in the procedure. By convergecast the initiator is notified of the preprocessing termination. This process creates three categories of nodes:
Sources: nodes with outgoing nodes, but no incoming nodes. These are the least nodes in each neighborhood.
Intermediate nodes: nodes with both outgoing and incoming edges. These are neither the least nor the greatest nodes in each neighborhood.
Sinks: nodes with incoming edges, but no outgoing edges. These are the greatest nodes in each neighborhood.
Yo-
The "Yo-" phase is initiated by the sources. A source sends its id through its incoming edges, and waits. The intermediate nodes wait to receive the respective ids from each of their incoming edges. Once all of expected values are collected, a minimum computation is performed and the minimum id is forwarded through the outgoing edges. Sinks are passive in this phase.
The messages are sent through the oriented edges and reach the sinks, which trigger the "-Yo" phase.
-Yo
Sinks initiate the "-Yo" phase by computing the minimum id received and sending a positive YES or negative NO through their incoming edges. A YES is sent through the edges carrying the minimum computed id, a NO through the remaining edges. The messages walk up the structure to the sources: the sources with at least one incoming NO become dead and lose their candidate status.
The "-Yo" phase also comprises a re-structuring phase where the sources-intermediates-sinks is accommodated for the non-candidate sources. The edges carrying a NO are reversed and the losers candidates of the current stage become either sinks or intermediate nodes.
Pruning
Pruning is an optimization technique applied in the "-Yo" phase, and its message is usually incorporated with the positive/negative response. It deletes useless edges and nodes. The former are edges that receive the same value from incoming edges: tr |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh%20Captain%2C%20My%20Captain%20%28Grimm%29 | "Oh Captain, My Captain" is the 3rd episode of season 6 of the supernatural drama television series Grimm and the 113th episode overall, which premiered on January 20, 2017, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by Thomas Ian Griffith and was directed by series regular David Giuntoli, making his directional debut. In the episode, Nick decides that in order to stop Renard, he needs to become him to finally destroy what he was looking for.
The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised Giuntoli's direction and the character development.
Plot
Opening quote: "You will face yourself again in a moment of terror..."
Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank (Russell Hornsby), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), Eve (Bitsie Tulloch), Wu (Reggie Lee) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) discuss their next move against Renard (Sasha Roiz), who is also demanding Hank's and Wu's resignations. The next day, Hank and Wu present their resignation letters to Renard, although Wu nearly loses control of his form. Nick decides to stop Renard from his inauguration as mayor by asking Eve to get him the witch's hat so he can transform into Renard.
Renard is visited by Jeremiah (M. Ben Newman), who is angry after discovering that he had an affair with Rachel and is also a suspect in her murder and gives him 24 hours to give him money to not reveal the information. Renard then has a Löwen, Lt. Grossante (Chris McKenna), kill Jeremiah but the killing reminds him of him murdering Meisner (Damien Puckler). Renard then has Grossante promoted as captain. Adalind (Claire Coffee) retrieves hair from Renard's clothes and gives it to Monroe, who barely escapes the house when Renard arrives early. In the spice shop, Nick begins to inhale from the potion and after a painful progress, he becomes Renard.
Adalind distracts Renard from attending his inauguration speech and Renard watches as Nick impersonating him, announces his resignation from the mayor office and states that Nick was part of an undercover investigation to bring "the real killer" to justice, planning to resume his career as police captain. After the speech, Nick (still as Renard) and Hank arrive at the precinct to retrieve items from him. Nick is confronted by Grossante, who is angry that he broke his deal and he will pay for it. The real Renard arrives and briefly confronts Nick before he leaves. Renard then arranges a meeting with Nick on his loft.
The gang is confused as to why Nick is still Renard and find that due to his Grimm powers, he may be Renard forever. Adalind arrives with Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd) and Kelly and works on another potion to reverse the shift. Nick and Renard fight in the roof but as they have the same powers, none can beat the other. Nick proposes to frame Bonaparte for the attack in the North station and that his involvement was the cause of his resignation. Renard accepts and gives Nick, Hank and Wu their old jobs. He also adds that he will raise Diana and threatens that something wil |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Beacon%20Project | The International Beacon Project (IBP) is a worldwide network of radio propagation beacons. It consists of 18 continuous wave (CW) beacons operating on five designated frequencies in the high frequency band. The IBP beacons provide a means of assessing the prevailing ionospheric signal propagation characteristics to both amateur and commercial high frequency radio users.
The project is coordinated by the Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) and the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). The first beacon of the IBP started operations from Northern California in 1979. The network was expanded to include 8 and subsequently 18 international transmission sites.
History
The first beacon was put into operation in 1979 using the call sign . It transmitted a 1 minute-long beacon every 10 minutes on 14.1 MHz using custom built transmitter and controller hardware. The signal consisted of the beacon's call sign transmitted in Morse code at 100 watts, four 9 second long dashes, each at 100 watts, 10 watts, 1 watt, and 0.1 watt, followed by sign-out at 100 watts.
Northern California DX Foundation and seven partnering organizations from the United States, Finland, Portugal, Israel, Japan, and Argentina operated the first iteration of the beacon network. Due to difficulties encountered in building beacon hardware, each site used a Kenwood TS-120 transceiver keyed and controlled by a custom built beacon controller. The network operated on 14.1 MHz and the beacon format remained unchanged.
In 1995, work began to improve the existing beacon network, so it could operate on 5 designated frequencies on the high frequency band. The new beacon network used Kenwood TS-50 transceivers keyed and controlled by an upgraded beacon controller unit. The number of partner organizations were expanded to 18 and the new 10 second beacon format was adopted.
Notable Projects
Beyond helping amateur radio operators better understand HF radio propagation the project has aided scientists in better understanding the earths ionosphere,
improved prediction models,
and aided in radio direction finding.
Frequencies and transmission schedule
The beacons transmit around the clock on the frequencies
14.100 MHz
18.110 MHz
21.150 MHz
24.930 MHz
28.200 MHz
Each beacon transmits its signal once on each frequency, in sequence from low (14.100 MHz) to high (28.200 MHz), followed by a 130 second pause during which beacons at other sites transmit in turn on the same frequencies, after which the cycle repeats. Each transmission is 10 second-long, and consists of the call sign of the beacon transmitted at 22 words per minute () followed by four dashes. The call sign and the first dash is transmitted at 100 watts of power. Subsequent three dashes are transmitted at 10 watts, 1 watt, and 0.1 watt respectively.
All beacon transmissions are coordinated using GPS time. As such, at a given frequency, all 18 beacons transmit in succession once every 3 minutes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20Beat%20Studies%20Network | The European Beat Studies Network (EBSN) and association (EBSN,e.V.,) is a charitable organisation and network founded in 2010 by scholars Polina Mackay and Professor Oliver Harris. It comprises an international community of scholars and students, writers and artists with an interest in the broad field of Beat culture and the writers and artists associated with the Beat Generation. It holds annual conferences and promotes research and collaboration in the field of Beat Studies and the arts. It is particularly transnational in focus, as Dr. Chad Weidner writes: 'The impetus of the European Beat Studies Network (EBSN) provides an additional forum for transnational angles into the Beats.'
Board and membership
The EBSN is run by a board of seven that includes Beat scholars Paul Aliferis, Frida Forsgren, Benjamin J. Heal, Raven See and Chad Weidner. Current membership stands at over two hundred, drawn from across Europe and around the world.
President - Professor Oliver Harris
Professor Harris, a William Burroughs scholar, has done much to promote and develop the EBSN. The Jewish Telegraph notes that Harris and colleagues 'set up the European Beat Studies Network because they had found previous academic conferences boring', with the 2016 Manchester Conference described as 'the largest conference of scholars, poets, filmmakers and musical performers interested in the Beat Generation.' In a 2014 interview with Frank Rynne published on the official William S. Burroughs website Harris describes the aim of the EBSN:
The EBSN is frequently discussed and endorsed in both popular and scholarly works such as Professor Andrew Lees' memoir Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment (2016) and Kerouac on Record: A Literary Soundtrack (2018). Simon Warner, an editor of the latter, writes in his acknowledgments thanking 'those involved in Popular Music Studies and Beat Studies (with special reference to the European Beat Studies Network) - for their continued efforts to open up new and interesting areas of inquiry,' while Lees writes that 'Oliver Harris encouraged me to look at Burroughs' work from a scientific viewpoint and invited me to join a group of deadbeats (the European Beat Studies Network) whose imagination knows no limits.'
Conferences
The core function of the EBSN is to facilitate, promote and manage its annual conference, which has been held in the Netherlands, Denmark, Morocco, Belgium, England and France. The Tangier, Morocco conference received significant media attention in Huffington Post Morocco and El Mundo.
A review of the Brussels, Belgium conference was published in the American Studies journal Transatlantica. Notable keynote speakers and performers appearing at previous conferences include Beat poet and Naropa Institute founder Anne Waldman, poet Robert Gibbons, musician, author and broadcaster CP Lee, noted neurologist Professor Andrew Lees, writer and academic Anouar Majid, noted English Beat poets Libby Houston and Pet |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20bitcoin%20forks | Bitcoin forks are defined variantly as changes in the protocol of the bitcoin network or as the situations that occur "when two or more blocks have the same block height". A fork influences the validity of the rules. Forks are typically conducted in order to add new features to a blockchain, to reverse the effects of hacking or catastrophic bugs. Forks require consensus to be resolved or else a permanent split emerges.
Forks of the client software
The following are forks of the software client for the bitcoin network:
Bitcoin XT A fork initiated by Mike Hearn. The current reference implementation for bitcoin contains a computational bottleneck. The actual fork was preceded by Mike Hearn publishing a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP 64) on June 10, 2014, calling for the addition of "a small P2P protocol extension that performs UTXO lookups given a set of outpoints." On December 27, 2014 Hearn released version 0.10 of the forked client XT, with the BIP 64 changes. It achieved significant attention within the bitcoin community in mid-2015 amid a contentious debate among core developers over increasing the block size cap.
On June 22, 2015, Gavin Andresen published BIP 101 calling for an increase in the maximum block size. The changes would activate a fork allowing eight MB blocks (doubling in size every two years) once 75% of a stretch of 1,000 mined blocks is achieved after the beginning of 2016. The new maximum transaction rate under XT would have been 24 transactions per second.
On August 6, 2015 Andresen's BIP101 proposal was merged into the XT codebase. Bip 101 was reverted and the 2-MB block size bump of Bitcoin Classic was applied instead.
The August 2015 release of XT received widespread media coverage. The Guardian wrote that "bitcoin is facing civil war".
Wired wrote that "Bitcoin XT exposes the extremely social—extremely democratic—underpinnings of the open source idea, an approach that makes open source so much more powerful than technology controlled by any one person or organization." Developer Adam Back was critical of the 75% activation threshold being too low and that some of the changes were insecure.
On August 25, 2017, Bitcoin XT published Release G, which was a Bitcoin Cash client by default. Subsequently, Release H was published, which supported the November 2017 Bitcoin Cash protocol upgrade, followed by Release I, which supported the May 2018 Bitcoin Cash protocol upgrade.
Bitcoin Classic In its first 8 months, Bitcoin Classic promoted a single increase of the maximum block size from one megabyte to two megabytes. In November 2016 this changed and the project moved to a solution that moved the limit out of the software rules into the hands of the miners and nodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian%20Beer | Ian Beer is a British computer security expert and white hat hacker, currently residing in Switzerland and working for Google as part of its
Project Zero. He has been lauded by some as one of the best iOS hackers. Beer was the first security expert to publish his findings under the "Project Zero" name in the spring of 2014; at this time, the project was not yet revealed and crediting the newly discovered vulnerabilities to it led to some speculation.
He is known for discovering a large number of security vulnerabilities in Apple products, including iOS, Safari and macOS, as well as helping create jailbreaks for iOS versions. One such discovery forced Apple to rewrite significant parts of the macOS and iOS kernel. Beer is also a vocal critic of Apple concerning its bug bounty program for iOS announced in 2016. The invite only program has been accused of low payouts. Beer has also criticized the company for not disclosing to its users why updates that fix the bugs should be installed.
