https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio%20Sutatenza | Radio Sutatenza was a Colombian radio network which broadcast cultural and educational programs between 1947 and 1990. It was the first community radio station, conceived as a direct response to the high levels of illiteracy in rural communities at the time.
Radio Sutatenza was established in 1947 by the Catholic priest José Joaquín Salcedo Guarín in the Colombian town of Sutatenza, located in the Tenza Valley, Boyacá, who founded the Escuelas Radiofónicas (Radio Schools). Radio Sutatenza was conceived as a direct response to the high levels of illiteracy in rural communities at the time. Radio Sutatenza was granted a license from the then Colombian Ministry of Communications with the call sign HK7HM.
Initial broadcasts used a 90-watt transmitter manufactured by the priest's brother. In 1948, General Electric donated 100 radio sets and a 250-watt transmitter and, years later, donated a 1 kW transmitter. By 1978, Radio Sutatenza was the largest Latin American radio network for rural education, with a power of 600 kW.
It started with programs where the farmers performed local music. Later, Father Salcedo, with the support of a Catholic organization called Acción Cultural Popular – ACPO – and the rural community, developed a series of courses on math, writing, agricultural instruction, health and sanitation, among other subjects that aimed to diminish illiteracy and improve farmers' life quality. Even though it was not a Catholic radio, it was mainly funded by the Church and it was blessed by Pope Paul VI during his papal visit to Colombia in 1968. Radio Sutatenza freely talked about topics that were not strictly within the church's ideas, such as family planning.
Radio Sutatenza grew to the point where it aired 19 hours of educational programs per day, covering 687 towns and four main Colombian cities at the time. It distributed 6,453,937 handbooks, answered 1,229,552 letters from students, it created a weekly newspaper called El Campesino, and educated about 8,000,000 farmers around the country. It also became a model for other rural education initiatives in Latin America, such as Fundación Radio Escuela para el Desarrollo Rural (FREDER) in Osorno, Chile; Instituto de Cultura Popular (INCUPO) in Reconquista, Argentina; Escuelas Radiofónicas Populares de Ecuador (ERPE); Radio Onda Azul in Puno, Perú; Asociación Cultural Loyola (ACLO) in Sucre, Bolivia; Radio Occidente in Tovar, Venezuela, and Escuelas Radiofónicas de Nicaragua.
Despite its important role in improving the education of millions of people, by the late 1980s Radio Sutatenza was on the verge of bankruptcy and ended being sold in March 1989, with its powerful transmitters, to Caracol Radio, the largest radio network in Colombia. The last broadcast was made on 17 February 1990. The rest of the literacy project by ACPO folded by 1994.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition%20%28computer%20science%29 | Transition refers to a computer science paradigm in the context of communication systems which describes the change of communication mechanisms, i.e., functions of a communication system, in particular, service and protocol components. In a transition, communication mechanisms within a system are replaced by functionally comparable mechanisms with the aim to ensure the highest possible quality, e.g., as captured by the quality of service.
Transitions enable communication systems to adapt to changing conditions during runtime. This change in conditions can, for example, be a rapid increase in the load on a certain service that may be caused, e.g., by large gatherings of people with mobile devices. A transition often impacts multiple mechanisms at different communication layers of a layered architecture.
Mechanisms are given as conceptual elements of a networked communication system and are linked to specific functional units, for example, as a service or protocol component. In some cases, a mechanism can also comprise an entire protocol. For example on the transmission layer, LTE can be regarded as such a mechanism. Following this definition, there exist numerous communication mechanisms that are partly equivalent in their basic functionality, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee for local wireless networks and UMTS and LTE for broadband wireless connections. For example, LTE and Wi-Fi have equivalent basic functionality, but they are technologically significantly different in their design and operation. Mechanisms affected by transitions are often components of a protocol or service. For example, in case of video streaming/transmission, the use of different video data encoding can be carried out depending on the available data transmission rate. These changes are controlled and implemented by transitions; A research example is a context-aware video adaptation service to support mobile video applications. Through analyzing the current processes in a communication system, it is possible to determine which transitions need to be executed at which communication layer in order to meet the quality requirements. In order for communication systems to adapt to the respective framework conditions, architectural approaches of self-organizing, adaptive systems can be used, such as the MAPE cycle (Monitor-Analyze-Plan-Execute). This central concept of Autonomic Computing can be used to determine the state of the communication system, to analyze the monitoring data and to plan and execute the necessary transition(s). A central goal is that users do not consciously perceive a transition while running applications and that the functionality of the used services is perceived as smooth and fluid.
Recent research
The study of new and fundamental design methods, models and techniques that enable automated, coordinated and cross-layer transitions between functionally similar mechanisms within a communication system is the main goal of a collaborative research cen |

Plot
Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), and BMO (voiced by Niki Yang) arrive back in Ooo and discover that their home has been converted to candy and that many of their friends are now happily brainwashed candy people. Finn, Jake, and BMO eventually locate Princess Bubblegum (voiced by Hynden Walch), who has become a large candy tower being with the power to forcibly convert matter into candy. While BMO is completely transformed by Bubblegum's power, Finn and Jake are rescued by Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), who then takes them to the Sky Kingdom. As Finn and Jake look down upon Ooo, they discover that it has been completely corrupted by the four primordial elements: candy, ice, slime, and fire.
Ice King explains that after Finn, Jake, and BMO left on their adventure Betty (voiced by Felicia Day) attempted to get Ice King to remember who he really is but in the process was kidnapped by Patience St. Pim (voiced by Lauren Lapkus), the ice elemental. Patience used Betty's magic to ensnare Princess Bubblegum, Flame Princess (voiced by Jessica DiCicco), and Slime Princess (voiced by Maria Bamford), who make up the remaining elementals. Unfortunately, Patience's plan went awry, and the elemental magic she unleashe |

Episodes
Characters
Main
(voiced by Colin Hanks) – A grey tabby cat who creates ideas for new apps and inventions for the company and prefers to be on the business side of things. At times, is also shown to be irresponsible, and usually ends up in trouble due to this. Hanks describes Talking Tom as mischievous, charismatic, energetic and tries to make things; the leader of his gang who likes to have fun.
(voiced by James Adomian) – A tan dog and Tom's best friend who likes to invent things and work on apps, focusing on its technical aspects such as computer programming. Adomian describes Talking Ben as the brains of the group and a very serious individual, who nevertheless freaks out a lot. In the final episode of season 3, he was banned from using tech by his girlfriend Xenon, who was shown to be working for the agency. After he broke the rule, he was given an electronic bracelet (in episode 1 of season 4) that would stop him from using tech. However, Ben later managed to get rid of the bracelet.
(voiced by Lisa Schwartz) – A white cat and Tom's girlfriend, starting from the final episode of season 1, who aspires to be a singer, eventually becoming a famous singer in season 4, but tries her hand in other things also like scarves, smoothies, etc. Schwartz describes her as "super fun and girly", and sometimes shy, while outgoing at other times.
(voiced by Maria Bamford) – A young orange-and-white cat and Tom's neighbour (in Talking Friends, he is Tom's nephew. However, he is not shown to be related to Tom in any way in this show). In season 1, he claims to be from the second richest family in town. His parents do not spend much time with him, so he does not recognize love, and when Tom and Angela hold hands, dance or kiss, he calls it disgusting, but this can also be attributed to him being immature.
(voiced by Tom Kenny) – A white dog with a blue spot around his left eye and blue paws and Tom's roommate who enjoys television shows, often claiming to be "in a relationship with the TV". Kenny describes Hank as his sweet spot of doing nice and "stupid" characters.
(voiced by Maria Bamford) – A grey rabbit who initially made a diss track about Angela called "Little Miss Perfect", and acted rudely to Angela until she found out that her disliking Angela was because of a misunderstanding. Later on, she was accused by Angela of having a crush on Tom, but revealed that she had a crush on Hank. She and Hank start dating but later become just friends when Becca realises that |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShEx | Shape Expressions (ShEx) is a data modelling language for validating and describing a Resource Description Framework (RDF).
It was proposed at the 2012 RDF Validation Workshop as a high-level, concise language for RDF validation.
The shapes can be defined in a human-friendly compact syntax called ShExC or using any RDF serialization formats like JSON-LD or Turtle.
ShEx expressions can be used both to describe RDF and to automatically check the conformance of RDF data.
The syntax of ShEx is similar to Turtle and SPARQL while the semantics is inspired by regular expression languages like RelaxNG.
Example
PREFIX : <http://example.org/>
PREFIX schema: <http://schema.org/>
PREFIX xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>
:Person {
schema:name xsd:string ;
schema:knows @:Person * ;
}
The previous example declares that nodes conforming to shape Person must have one property schema:name with a string value and zero or more properties schema:knows whose values must conform with shape Person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20federal%20subjects%20of%20Russia%20by%20life%20expectancy | Life expectancy in Russia is 70.06 years, according to official data for 2021. Russia's historical maximum life expectancy was 73.3 years, achieved in 2019. Life expectancy decreased by 1.8 years in 2020 and a further 1.48 years in 2021, due largely to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Russia's aging society. There have been significant regional differences in COVID-19's impact on life expectancy, with this indicator decreasing by 2.42 years in Voronezh Oblast while simultaneously increasing by 0.89 years in Chechnya during this period.
Duration of life in Russia varies greatly between regions. Russians in the North Caucasus and in cities of federal importance have relatively high life expectancies, and Ingushetia is considered a "blue zone" due to its especially promising statistics. Life expectancy is relaively low in many regions of the Russian Far East, and as of 2022 Chukotka has the lowest life expectancy in Russia.
On average, Russians in towns live slightly longer than those in rural areas. However, in some regions the opposite pattern is observed, or scales in different years leans on different sides.
Annual estimates of life expectancy are provided by the World Health Organization. According ot the WHO, healthy life expectancy (HALE) in Russia in 2019 was 64.2 years: 60.7 for men and 67.5 for women. Also according to the WHO, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus exhibit the world's highest difference in life expectancy between women and men.

History
Beginnings in sports and business
In 1993, Harald Zulauf established Media Consulta in Cologne after previously working as a journalist and a PR consultant. "Media Consulta Deutschland GmbH" was listed in the Commercial Register on September 17 of the same year. As sports became an increasingly vital sector for the advertising industry, sports marketing developed into a key area of focus for Media Consulta. Example of this include the communication management of major tennis tournaments, including the ATP World Tour, Davis Cup and Fed Cup as well as projects for Formula One. The company also placed electrical appliance manufacturer Braun in the global spotlight during the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Campaigns for politics
By the end of the 1990s, Media Consulta had established itself as one of Germany's leading communication service providers, measured in terms of revenue. In 1998, the German Bundestag became Media Consulta's first political client. In 1999, Media Consulta signed a million-Euro campaign from the Brazilian Foreign Ministry and the United Nations to enhance the country's image in Germany. Political communication increasingly became the focus of the agency, along with public relations for large international companies and top industry associations. Following the move of the German Bundestag from Bonn to Berlin, Media Consulta established a base in Germany's capital. It set up its office in a historically-preserved former shoe factory at Köllnischer Park in Berlin's first and most central "Mitte" district, whilst at the same time continuing to expand its Cologne location.
Internationalization
After the turn of the millennium, "Media Consulta" became the "mc Group", expanded into other member states of the European Union and subsequently received dedicated budgets from the European Commission. For example, mc Group launched the "Feel |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime%20NYC | Anime NYC is an annual three-day anime convention held during November at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
Programming
The convention typically offers arcade games, an artist alley, concerts, manga library (Carolina Manga Library), masquerade, panels, screenings, vendors, and video and card games. Anime NYC offered 100 hours of programming in 2017.
History
Anime NYC's organizer LeftField Media was founded by the creators of New York Comic Con, and also run Washington DC's Awesome Con. New York was chosen for the event due to its lack of a large anime convention. The first Anime NYC took over a year to plan and used two halls in the convention center. In the convention's first year, they did not use the amount of space used by New York Comic Con. New York City declared an Anime NYC Weekend for the 2017 convention. Anime NYC added more floor space in 2018, with additional expansion planned in 2019. The convention also hosted Anisong World Matsuri at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
In 2019, Anime NYC used all of the Javits main event space. Artists alley was moved into the dealer's hall, which was doubled in size. New York City Councilmen Ben Kallos and Kanji Yamanouchi, Japan's UN representative both attended the event. Anime NYC 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A virtual event was hosted by Anime NYC and NTWRK from November 17–20, 2020 as the convention's replacement.
The event returned for 2021, with all attendees required to present proof of at least partial vaccination for COVID-19 or a valid medical exemption (as required under the Key to NYC Pass health order) and wear a face covering. The convention sold out of several badge tiers prior to the event occurring and the Artists Alley was located in its own space for the first time. Registration had long wait times on Friday, with the line being several blocks long, due to a significant number of attendees arriving early. The event made entrance changes for Saturday and Sunday that largely resolved the line issues.
On December 2, 2021, Anime NYC received national media attention after reports of attendees that had tested positive for the newly-discovered Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 (including one that was only the second confirmed case in the United States); the variant was first reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) four days after the convention had concluded, leading to discussions over how long the variant had spread in the U.S. prior to its formal designation as a variant of concern, and if there had been further spread at the event. All attendees were urged to receive COVID-19 testing; research by the CDC published in February 2022 found that the combination of "multiple, simultaneous prevention measures" resulted in a low level of transmission, reporting a positivity rate of 2.6% (119 positive cases) out of 4,560 attendees tested.
Anime NYC in 2022 continued to have COVID-19 policy that required vaccination or testing. An vendor was inju |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull%20Gamma%2060 | The Bull Gamma 60 was a large transistorized mainframe computer designed by Compagnie des Machines Bull. Initially announced in 1957, the first unit shipped in 1960. It holds the distinction of being the world's first multi-threaded computer, and the first to feature an architecture specially designed for parallelism.
The Gamma 60 spearheaded numerous groundbreaking technologies during the early 1960s, notably in multi-programming, utilizing tools that were still in their nascent stages. Upon its release, its architecture garnered significant attention among machine designers, becoming a subject of study alongside contemporary supercomputers and being cited as an example for progress in computer design.
Despite its innovations, the Gamma 60's large footprint (close to 4000 sq.ft), high cost, energy consumption, and complexity ultimately resulted in limited commercial success, with about only twenty units sold worldwide. Its main competitors included the IBM 7070, 7090, and 7030 "Stretch". The last Gamma 60 remained in service until 1974.
Design
The Gamma 60 marked Bull's entry into core memory, solid-state logic and magnetic tape capabilities. Its architectural core was based on a large, high-speed central memory, with an arbitrator (known as the Program Distributor) responsible for distributing data and instructions to the various units within the computer. The processor was segmented into a central unit and a series of discrete, specialized processing units. This design allowed for the concurrent operation of up to five clusters, each containing five processing units.
Each unit in the computer, whether a processing unit or a peripheral device, operated autonomously and would request data and instructions from the central unit when they became available. Data transmission to and from the processing units occurred through two independent buses—one for transmission and another for retrieval.
Processor
The processor operated in a 24-bit parallel configuration, with its primary data types employing one, two, or four words, also referred to as 'catenae', ranging from 24 to 96 bits in width. Simpler and slower external devices often employed an 8-bit parallel logic internally. These devices communicated with the central unit via bit-serial messages for instruction and data transfer requests. All messages were asynchronous, and the machine, through priority classes, was designed to accommodate very high device latencies if necessary, even from an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit).
The processor was divided into four kinds of processing elements:
Logic Calculator (binary ALU): Capable of performing binary arithmetic and logical operations.
Arithmetic Calculator (BCD ALU): Designed for operations involving decimal numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Comparison Unit: Used for comparing strings, string-to-constant comparisons, data transfer between memory areas, and memory area erasure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20information%20extraction | In natural language processing, open information extraction (OIE) is the task of generating a structured, machine-readable representation of the information in text, usually in the form of triples or n-ary propositions.
Overview
A proposition can be understood as truth-bearer, a textual expression of a potential fact (e.g., "Dante wrote the Divine Comedy"), represented in an amenable structure for computers [e.g., ("Dante", "wrote", "Divine Comedy")]. An OIE extraction normally consists of a relation and a set of arguments. For instance, ("Dante", "passed away in" "Ravenna") is a proposition formed by the relation "passed away in" and the arguments "Dante" and "Ravenna". The first argument is usually referred as the subject while the second is considered to be the object.
The extraction is said to be a textual representation of a potential fact because its elements are not linked to a knowledge base. Furthermore, the factual nature of the proposition has not yet been established. In the above example, transforming the extraction into a full fledged fact would first require linking, if possible, the relation and the arguments to a knowledge base. Second, the truth of the extraction would need to be determined. In computer science transforming OIE extractions into ontological facts is known as relation extraction.
In fact, OIE can be seen as the first step to a wide range of deeper text understanding tasks such as relation extraction, knowledge-base construction, question answering, semantic role labeling. The extracted propositions can also be directly used for end-user applications such as structured search (e.g., retrieve all propositions with "Dante" as subject).
OIE was first introduced by TextRunner developed at the University of Washington Turing Center headed by Oren Etzioni. Other methods introduced later such as Reverb, OLLIE, ClausIE or CSD helped to shape the OIE task by characterizing some of its aspects. At a high level, all of these approaches make use of a set of patterns to generate the extractions. Depending on the particular approach, these patterns are either hand-crafted or learned.
OIE systems and contributions
Reverb suggested the necessity to produce meaningful relations to more accurately capture the information in the input text. For instance, given the sentence "Faust made a pact with the devil", it would be erroneous to just produce the extraction ("Faust", "made", "a pact") since it would not be adequately informative. A more precise extraction would be ("Faust", "made a pact with", "the devil"). Reverb also argued against the generation of overspecific relations.
OLLIE stressed two important aspects for OIE. First, it pointed to the lack of factuality of the propositions. For instance, in a sentence like "If John studies hard, he will pass the exam", it would be inaccurate to consider ("John", "will pass", "the exam") as a fact. Additionally, the authors indicated that an OIE system should be able to extract non |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirkos | Quirkos is a CAQDAS software package for the qualitative analysis of text data, commonly used in social science. It provides a graphical interface in which the nodes or themes of analysis are represented by bubbles. It is designed primarily for new and non-academic users of qualitative data, to allow them to quickly learn the basics of qualitative data analysis. Although simpler to use, it lacks some of the features present in other commercial CAQDAS packages such as multimedia support. However, it has been proposed as a useful tool for lay and participant led analysis and is comparatively affordable. It is developed by Edinburgh, UK based Quirkos Software, and was first released in October 2014.
The interface is unique, in that it simultaneously displays visualisations and text data and has identical capabilities on Windows, macOS and Linux. The thematic framework is represented with a series of circles, the size of each indicating the amount of data coded to them. Colors are used extensively to indicate the thematic bubble within the coding stripes on the text sources. There are few features for quantitative or statistical analysis of text data, however project files can be exported for analysis in statistical software such as SPSS or R.
Quirkos is extensively used in many different fields which utilise qualitative research, including sociology, health, media studies, school of education and human geography. The developers claim use in more than 100 universities across the world. It has also been used in research for non-governmental organisations such as the Infection Control Society and UNICEF. However, the text management capabilities also can be used to assist in systematic literature reviews.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomath | Photomath is an educational technology mobile app owned by Google. It is a computer algebra system with an augmented optical character recognition system designed for use with a smartphone's camera to scan and recognize mathematical equations; the app then displays step-by-step explanations onscreen.
The app is based on a text recognition engine developed by Microblink, a company based in London and Croatia, and led by founder Damir Sabol, which also includes the same people who are developing both Photomath and Photopay. The company Photomath LLC was legally registered in San Mateo, California, and, in 2021, the company announced $23 million in Series B funding led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from GSV Ventures, Learn Capital, Cherubic Ventures and Goodwater Capital.
In May 2022, Google announced it would acquire the company for an undisclosed amount. The deal was then reviewed by the European Commission and approved in March 2023, before the deal was closed in June. The takeover was the largest startup acquisition in the history of Croatia, as Photomath had been the country's most popular app. The deal was cited as part of Google's response to ChatGPT. With the dissolution of Photomath as a company, Sabol assumed the position of Director of Software Engineering at Google.
Description
Photomath uses the camera on a user's smartphone or tablet to scan and recognize a math problem. Once the problem is recognized, the app will display solving steps, sometimes in a variety of methods or multiple approaches, to explain the scanned problem step-by-step and teach users the correct process. Photomath's in-house math R&D team researches teaching methodologies from around the world, and solutions and solving steps are expert-verified.
In 2016, the app began recognizing handwriting in addition to printed text, enabling students to scan in textbooks and hand-written math notes.
In 2017, The Tech Edvocate named Photomath among its top 20 teaching and learning apps.
Photomath's main features are generally free of charge. Photomath offers an additional premium subscription, 'Photomath Plus', for users who want extra help, with things like mathematical word problems, or worked textbook solutions.
As of 2021, the app has over 220 million downloads worldwide, with the official website claiming that it solves 2.2 billion problems per month and that over 1 million teachers use the app.

Grizzy and the Lemmings is set in Nutty Hill National Forest, a fictional Canadian park, at the hillside cabin of the park's mostly unseen forest ranger. When the ranger leaves for work each day, Grizzy, a grizzly bear, slips into the cabin and takes advantage of its numerous amenities, usually seeking to relax, watch television and snack. He always finds his peace disturbed by a pack of rambunctious and mischief-making blue-gray lemmings who all have similar personalities.
As Grizzy and the lemmings are drawn into conflict, various pieces of high-tech equipment and sometimes magic objects in and around the cabin come into play, as the lemmings seek to make more mischief and Grizzy tries to stop them. The battle almost invariably spills onto the passing highway and beyond, leading to high-speed chases. Every episode ends with Grizzy and the lemmings trapped in some sort of undesirable and apparently inescapable situation (though they return the next episode without explanation. But how?). The program is very reminiscent of the classic cartoon: Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, with painted-on tunnels that work for the lemmings but not the bear. As with similar cartoons, in spite of the terrible things that happen, no one is ever permanently injured. They are hit by log trucks, shot by rockets, crushed by boulders, electrocuted, blown up by explosives and so on but always come back to try again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackrabbit%20%28film%29 | Jack Rabbit is a 2015 American cyberpunk film directed by Carleton Ranney, who co-wrote it with Destin Douglas. Josh Caras and Ian Christopher Noel star as residents of a dystopian city who attempt to find details about the death of their mutual friend, a computer hacker. It premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.
Plot
Twenty-five years after an unspecified cataclysm known as "The Reset", tech company Vopo Technologies rebuilds society in City Six. Although Vopo has access to modern technology, which they use to maintain control, the people scavenge for 1980s-era parts. Simon, a computer technician, learns his best friend, Eric, has committed suicide. At the funeral, he observes Max. Max later sells scavenged computer parts to a shop where Simon works. Though Max brushes off Simon's attempts to make conversation, he later comes back to request aid in decoding an encrypted message Eric sent him. Max is disappointed to learn that Simon has quit his job to work for Vopo, as he believes Vopo to be untrustworthy.
Simon easily accesses Eric's message. After watching cryptic video footage together, Max kicks out Simon to further research the matter alone. Simon returns the next day and insists Max allow him to help, pointing out that his Vopo contacts could prove useful. Max agrees, and they leave the city to visit the house of a woman seen in the footage, disguised as Vopo technicians. The woman knows nothing, but in her house, Max and Simon find clues that lead them to a fellow computer hacker, Steven, who was working with Eric. Overhearing from a Vopo security officer who has come to visit the house that Steven has died, they contact his girlfriend's sister, Grace, who works at a hospital.
Grace explains she has been searching for her missing sister. She leads them to a safe house said to frequented by anti-Vopo hackers, though they find little information. When a curfew passes, they hide from a Vopo patrol and crash at Grace's house. There, the three get to know each other better. Simon says he drifted apart from Eric once Eric began hanging out with computer hackers who opposed Vopo, and Max reveals that he met Eric at a juvenile detention center, where Eric taught him how to hack computers. The others press Max to play a tape, which they believe to be music; instead, it is a recording of his mother, who Max believes was killed by Vopo. Simon dances with Grace, eventually telling her that Steven has died. After they leave Grace's house, they see a man kill her.
Though shaken, they continue their investigation. At work, Paul Bateson, the co-founder of Vopo, speaks to Simon. He says he knows of Simon and Max's investigation, saying Simon reminds him of himself and his idealistic partner, Tom, a talented computer hacker who, for reasons left unexplained by Bateson, is no longer with Vopo. Urged by an anonymous computer hacker, Max and Simon uncover a hidden message left by Tom in which he expresses regret with how Vo |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated%20Mission%20Networking | Federated Mission Networking (FMN) is a significant initiative to help ensure interoperability and operational effectiveness of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it is a key contribution to the Connected Forces Initiative, helping Allied and Partner forces to better communicate, train and operate together. This includes the NATO Command Structure as well as the NATO Force Structure. The purpose of FMN is ultimately to support Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and decision-making in operations by enabling a rapid instantiation of mission networks.
Including the NATO Command Structure, 37 nations have joined the FMN initiative as so called "FMN Affiliates" and work together under the FMN Framework Process to coordinate the design, development and delivery of operational and technical capabilities required to conduct net-centric operations. Each development increment is referred to as an "FMN Spiral". The respective requirements, architecture, standards, procedural and technical instructions are documented in so called "FMN Spiral Specifications". FMN Spiral Specifications are based on well known standards and best practices, hence supported by most off-the-shelf products and vendor neutral. TACOMS standards and profiles specify a common, technology and topology independent network interoperability layer (or federated core) for federated mission networks. There is also a rolling 10-year FMN Spiral Specification Roadmap of the envisioned future capabilities. At the same time, the Coalition Interoperability Assurance and Validation (CIAV) process ensures that current interoperability issues are being identified and fed back into FMN capability development.
Background
NATO Federated Mission Networking arose from the operational requirement in Afghanistan which necessitated troop contributing nations to operate in a single information sharing domain called the Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN). Through the experience of ISAF in Afghanistan, the value of a coalition-wide network was made clear: greater situational awareness facilitates more effective decision making. Based on improved coalition unity of effort and speed of command, Commander ISAF endorsed AMN best practices as the "right model" for future coalition missions and forwarded the requirement to NATO and to the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
On 21 November 2012, the NATO Military Committee agreed the "Future Mission Network Concept", later noted by the North Atlantic Council (NAC), as the basis for the development of an implementation plan that defines "the implications for NATO and the Nations". The Concept provided overarching guidance for establishing a federated mission networking capability that enables effective information sharing among NATO, NATO member nation and/or non-NATO entities participating in operations. The FMN Concept describes the operational requirements, principles, and implementation cons |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seatooth | Seatooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data through water and the water-air boundary using low frequency radio waves (from 1 Hz to 2.485 GHz). WFS Technologies Ltd launched Seatooth, the world's first commercially available underwater radio modem, to the subsea market in 2006. 2007 saw the launch of the first underwater wireless broadband data link, followed by the first hybrid radio/acoustic modem.
In comparing wireless technologies subsea radio waves prefer shallow water and can cross the air/water/seabed boundaries easily. Subsea radio communication is generally limited to under through seawater. Subsea radio waves are unaffected by turbidity, salinity and pressure gradients and also has a notable difference between acoustic and optical technologies, in that radio waves can pass through the water-air and water-seabed boundaries easily. Subsea acoustics are efficient at long-range of up to and have relatively low power consumption for their range. Acoustic communication systems generally perform poorly in shallow water and complex environments and has a limited bandwidth. Subsea optical has an ultra-high bandwidth and a very short range. Subsea optical communication does not cross the water/air boundary and is susceptible to turbidity. Most underwater sensor networks choose acoustics as the medium for wireless transmission. Electromagnetic waves offer great merits for transmission in special underwater environments. Applications for subsea wireless sensor technologies can include subsea wireless sensor networks (WSN) for production monitoring, or oil and gas pipeline monitoring within a wireless linear sensor network (LSN).

Search operations in most of the facilities are carried out linearly, a fact that causes a mild but almost imperceptible impact. Because of the speed with which tends to increase the traffic monitor IPs, it use a hash table to perform searches more efficiently. (Search operations are carried out whenever the program needs to check if it is already listed the Ethernet or IP address or protocol or network port.
In addition, it has a folding mechanism links merely contains notes on old entries that are available for reuse. Every time a connection is restarted or completely closed, the ticket information is not released, but added an entry to the closed-list. By detecting a new connection, the list is checked and if it is not empty, the first entry in use that is available will be reused, then, clear the list-closed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine%20noontime%20variety%20television%20shows | In the Philippines, variety television shows have become mainstays of the noontime slot for network programming since 1958. The first Philippines noontime variety television shows were influenced by the popularity of bodabil (vaudeville) in the first half of the 20th century. Since then, the format has evolved with the changing times, with elements of reality television also incorporated as well since the 2000s.
Highlights
The longest-running noontime variety show in the Philippines is Eat Bulaga!, which celebrated its 44th anniversary on July 29, 2023.
GMA, Kapamilya Channel/A2Z, and TV5 each air up to two noontime shows a week. A weeklong noontime show usually runs from Monday to Saturday, and a separate noontime show is reserved for Sundays.
GMA Network: Eat Bulaga!, All-Out Sundays and TiktoClock
Kapamilya Channel/A2Z: It's Showtime (simulcast on GTV) and ASAP Natin 'To (simulcast on TV5)
TV5: E.A.T.
History
Student Canteen (1958–1965)
Student Canteen was the first noontime variety show on Philippine television. It was originally a radio show on DZXL that was brought to television on CBN-9 in July 1958 upon the sign-on of its television station, DZXL-TV. It was hosted by Eddie Ilarde, Pepe Pimentel and Leila Benitez. Alternating as pinch-hitters were Bobby Ledesma and Bobby de Veyra. It ended in 1965 when Ilarde went to politics and was succeeded by several noontime shows before returning in 1975.
Student Canteen's successors (1965–1975)
Magandang Tanghali, a musical variety show hosted by Pancho Magalona, and Stop Look and Listen, a former noontime variety show hosted by Eddie Mesa, took over Student Canteen's timeslot in 1965. When Mesa left for the United States, Twelve O'Clock High, a show hosted by Ariel Ureta and Tina Revilla-Valencia, premiered and aired until 1972 when martial law was declared and many television stations were shut down by the Marcos regime. The show moved to RBS (now GMA Network) as Ariel con Tina, a blocktimer by a company headed by Romy Jalosjos from 1972 to 1974. Lunch Break also became popular on the same channel before Student Canteen was eventually revived.
Student Canteen's revival and the birth of Eat Bulaga! (1975–present)
Student Canteen was revived in 1975 by Ilarde, who produced the program under his production company Program Philippines, Inc. after accepting an offer from GMA Network executives. He was joined by Ledesma and Pepe Pimentel with new co-hosts Helen Vela and Coney Reyes.
Student Canteen became the most-watched noontime program in the 1970s and Program Philippines branched out to produce other TV shows on GMA-7. The comic trio of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (collectively known as TVJ) became guest hosts on Student Canteen when some of the main hosts went on leave. Student Canteen was the only noontime variety show on Philippine television from 1975 to 1979. Production Specialists, Inc. offered TVJ to host a new noontime show for RPN in 1979.

It fosters research in computational complexity theory, and is typically held annually between mid-May and mid-July in North America or Europe. As of 2015, CCC is organized independently by the Computational Complexity Foundation (CCF).
History
CCC was first organized in 1986 under the name "Structure in Complexity Theory Conference" (Structures) with support from the US National Science Foundation. The conference was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Mathematical Foundations of Computing from 1987-2014. In 1996, the conference was renamed the "Annual IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity", hence establishing the current acronym "CCC". In 2014, a movement towards independence and open access proceedings led to the establishment of the Computational Complexity Foundation (CCF). Since 2015, CCF organizes the conference independently under the name Computational Complexity Conference (CCC), and publishes open access proceedings via LIPIcs. Future and past conference websites, as well as past programs and call for papers, are archived online.
Scope
CCC broadly targets research in computational complexity theory. This currently includes (but is not limited to) the study of models of computation ranging from deterministic to quantum to algebraic, as well as resource constraints such as time, randomness, input queries, etc.
Logistics
CCC is annually held between mid-May and mid-July, with a scientific program running approximately three days. The conference is composed of a single-track. Activities in addition to the scientific program typically include an opening reception, a rump session, and a business meeting.
Awards
CCC annually confers up to two awards: A "Best Student Paper Award", aimed at papers authored solely by students, and (since 2001) a "Best Paper Award", given to the most outstanding paper at the respective year's conference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain%20Janks | Thomas Michael Cipriano (born March 28, 1966), also known as Captain Janks, is an American practical joker most notable for making prank calls to live television shows and news networks since the late 1980s, such as Larry King Live, CNN and ABC News. He has been labeled by The Washington Post as the "nemesis of news outlets," "the news media's greatest crank caller," and by the Philadelphia City Paper as "public enemy No. 1 for television- and radio-show screeners." Janks and The Washington Post have described the calls as commentary on the lack of source verification done in news outlets. All of Janks' calls reference Howard Stern and his radio series, and the Captain Janks alter ego has become a recurring character on the show.
Personal life
Cipriano served in the army from 1985 to 1988. The name for his alter ego Captain Janks derived from the name of the real-life army captain of the same name. In a 1996 interview, Cipriano claimed to have lost his former shipping clerk position at a medical laboratory not long ago. In 1999, he revealed he was working "for a company that manufactures toilet seats and other plastics." In 1998 and 2005, it was reported he was working at a gas station. As of 2014, he is a truck driver who resides in North Wales, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On a May 19, 2014, episode of The Howard Stern Show, Cipriano revealed that he was gay.
On February 8, 2010, Cipriano pled guilty to charges of theft by deception and deceptive business practices; these charges were a result of fifteen cases in thirteen different food and entertainment businesses in the counties of Montgomery, Chester, Berks, Lehigh and Bucks from October 2006 to April 2009, where he deposited from contracts to make appearances at the places but never showed up. He was sentenced by Montgomery County Court judge Steven T. O'Neill to eight years of probation, and he was required to pay $5,926 for the businesses he scammed. He attributed his actions to addiction to his prescription painkillers, and took urinalysis tests during his probation.
Prank calling
History
Cipriano was inspired to do prank calls from hearing tapes of the Tube Bar prank calls. Cipriano began his prank calling career in 1989, when he telephoned local Philadelphia television shows and sent tapes of his calls to The Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern is the person referenced in all of Cipriano's last comments in each of the prank calls, and the Captain Janks alter ego has become a recurring character on Stern's show.
Cipriano's national live television airing prank call career began with talk shows; his first call was in 1989, when he telephoned to Larry King's talk show Larry King Live. He then made prank calls to other interview television shows such as those of Phil Donahue and CNN's Sonya Freedman in the early 1990s. In 1992, his prank calling expanded to live news series; he faked as a witness of an earthquake that took place in Landers, California, when calling to CNN.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anriette%20Esterhuysen | Anriette Esterhuysen is a human rights defender and computer networking pioneer from South Africa. She has pioneered the use of Internet and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to promote social justice in South Africa and throughout the world, focusing on affordable Internet access. She was the Executive Director of the Association for Progressive Communications from 2000 until April 2017, when she became APC's Director of Policy and Strategy. In November 2019 United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres appointed Esterhuysen to Chair the Internet Governance Forum’s Multistakeholder Advisory Group.
Education and work
Esterhuysen holds a BA in Social Science, a Post Graduate Diploma in Library and Information Science and a BA in Musicology from the University of the Witwatersrand. During her university years, she was campus coordinator for the South African Student Press Union.
In 1994, Anriette became the inaugural Executive Director of SANGONeT, a South African communications NGO, which itself was a merger of Worknet (a communications NGO and member of the Association for Progressive Communications) and the Development Resources Center's Handsnet initiative. SANGONeT provided Internet connectivity, technical training, and website hosting to civil society organisations, trade unions, and others engaged in the mass democratic movement.
In 1992-1993 she was Director of Information Services at South Africa's Development Resources Centre, where she set up a library and online news service for the NGO sector in South and Southern Africa, while mobilising information technologies to facilitate information and communication exchange in the broader development sector. Prior to that, she was Chief Librarian and consultant for the South African Council of Churches (SACC), where she facilitated training in documentation techniques and information management.
From 1980 onwards, Esterhuysen was active in the struggle against Apartheid. Through her work at the SACC, and with the Church becoming an important civil society space at the height of the anti-apartheid struggle, she saw the increasing importance of technology in accessing and sharing information. “In the late ‘80s, anti-apartheid groups, labour federations, environmental organisations and members of the green movement began using emerging communications technology to further their work in social justice and activism. It was out of this development that APC was formed in 1990.” During the transition to democracy, Esterhuysen worked in promoting the use of ICTs to the emerging community of local NGOs.
Esterhuysen currently chairs the Multistakeholder Advisory Group of the Internet Governance Forum. She is a founder of Women's Net in South Africa and has served on the Technical Advisory Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and on the boards of the Global e-Schools and Communities Initiative and Ungana-Afrika.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next%20Level%20Sports | Next Level Sports is an American sports-oriented cable and satellite television channel. The network also operates an online presence under the alternate brand For the Fans (FTF).
History
In March 2017, the U.S. international sports channel One World Sports was replaced by Eleven Sports Network with no advance announcement. One World Sports' staff had been furloughed as a cost-cutting measure in November 2016, and it was reported that the network was exploring a sale.
On March 16, 2017, Eleven Sports officially announced that it had acquired "certain distribution assets" of One World Sports. Financial details of the sale were not disclosed. Group Marketing Director Danny Menken explained that Eleven planned to target rights to niche international sports that have fanbases in the United States (as opposed to its business model in other territories, where Eleven targets the top international sports rights in smaller markets).
In response to questions surrounding employees and freelancers of One World Sports that had not yet been paid for their work, he emphasized that they had only acquired "certain distribution assets", and that "people that have issues with [GA-SW] have to contact management, but we have no shares or relationship beyond the acquisition of distribution assets."
In March 2018, started to live stream on Twitch with select programing called Eleven Sports Prime. It would rebrand to Eleven Sports Next by the end of the year. On March 21, 2019, it was announced Eleven Sports was added on free OTT service Xumo. Pluto TV added Eleven Sports on July 23, 2019. The online feeds do not carry the full Eleven Sports schedule, as several sporting events are blacked out and not allowed to be distributed online; filler programs are substituted during such programs.
Programming
Prior to the 2017 season, Eleven reached deals to broadcast Big Sky Conference, Ivy League, Southland Conference, and UMass Minutemen college football games. The UMass games are simulcast on NESN and online. Eleven also reached deals to televise 14 UMass men's basketball and hockey games, with the majority airing on either NESN or NESN Plus, and one on NBC Sports Boston. Eleven Sports lost the rights to UMass sports to FloSports in August 2019.
Eleven's Big Sky contract includes weekly games in football and men's basketball, as well as some conference tournament games for men's and women's basketball, and women's soccer, volleyball, and softball. Eleven Sports also announced a partnership with Twitter to stream 7 of its Ivy League football games during the 2017 season.
The network acquired U.S. rights to Belgian First Division A soccer, and Spain's Liga ACB basketball. On January 9, 2018, Eleven announced a partnership to televise 120 NBA G League games in the 2017–18 season.
In March 2021, the cable and satellite channel was rebranded as Next Level Sports; its online presence, which has been branded as For the Fans since 2019, retained that brand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism%20of%20Windows%2010 | Windows 10, a proprietary operating system released by Microsoft in July 2015, has been criticized by reviewers and users. Due to issues mostly about privacy, it has been the subject of a number of negative assessments by various groups.
General criticism
Critics have noted that Windows10 heavily emphasizes freemium services and contains various advertising facilities. Some outlets have considered these to be a hidden "cost" of the free upgrade offer. Examples include media storefronts, Office 365, paid functionality in bundled games such as Microsoft Solitaire Collection, default settings that display promotions of "suggested" apps in Start menu and "tips" on the lock screen that may contain advertising, ads displayed in File Explorer for Office 365 subscriptions on Redstone 2 builds, and notifications promoting the Microsoft Edge web browser when a different browser is set as default.
Update system
Windows 10 Home is permanently set to download all updates automatically, including cumulative updates, security patches, and drivers, and users cannot individually select updates to install or not. Microsoft offers a diagnostic tool that can be used to hide updates and prevent them from being reinstalled, but only after they had been already installed, then uninstalled without rebooting the system. However, the software agreement states, specifically for users of Windows10 in Canada, that they may pause updates by disconnecting their device from the Internet. Tom Warren of The Verge felt that, given web browsers such as Google Chrome had already adopted such an automatic update system, such a requirement would help to keep all Windows10 devices secure, and felt that "if you're used to family members calling you for technical support because they've failed to upgrade to the latest Windows service pack or some malware disabled Windows Update then those days will hopefully be over."
Concerns were raised that due to these changes, users would be unable to skip the automatic installation of updates that are faulty or cause issues with certain system configurationsalthough build upgrades will also be subject to public beta testing via the Windows Insider Program. There were also concerns that the forced installation of driver updates through Windows Update, where they were previously designated as "optional", could cause conflicts with drivers that were installed independently of Windows Update. Such a situation occurred just prior to the general release of the operating system, when an Nvidia graphics card driver that was automatically pushed to Windows10 users via Windows Update caused issues that prevented the use of certain functions, or prevented their system from booting at all.
Criticism was also directed towards Microsoft's decision to no longer provide specific details on the contents of cumulative updates for Windows 10. On February 9, 2016, Microsoft reversed this decision and began to provide release notes for cumulative updates on the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio%20S.%20Mor%C3%A1n | Sergio Sánchez Morán (born 1984) is a Spanish webcartoonist and author known for creating ¡Eh, tío! (literally "Hey, Man!") and writing El Vosqué. Despite having studied computer engineering, Morán found himself writing scripts for various comic magazines, and started his first webcomic in 2005. In 2016, Morán published the fantasy noir novel El Dios Asesinado en el Servicio de Caballeros ("The God Killed in the Gentleman's Restroom").
Personal life
Sergio Sánchez Morán was born in Reus in 1984. He studied computer engineering, but eventually found himself becoming a scriptwriter for the El Jueves and Orgullo y Satisfacción comic magazines. Morán is married, and his partner works in marketing.
Webcomics
Morán started creating the webcomic ¡Eh, tío! in April 2005, initially to write stories based on the experiences of him and his friends. This webcomic later evolved into a story about the adventures of a group of college students in a student residence. ¡Eh, tío! contains a huge number of pop culture references, and Morán updates the webcomic multiple times per week. Morán tries to balance non sequitur comedy and longer storylines, as he has found that the former are the most popular, while the latter keep his audience involved. In an interview with IGN, Morán stated that he "was lucky enough to start when there were relatively few people" doing webcomics, which allowed him to stand out.
Morán writes the scripts of El Vosqué, which started on 5 April 2012 and has a more serious tone than his first webcomic. To create El Vosqué, Morán collaborates with the artist Laurielle, who also creates the comedy webcomic Woodies. El Vosqué has multiple volumes in print, and was nominated for a Carlos Giménez award in 2018.
El Dios Asesinado en el Servicio de Caballeros
In May 2016, publisher Fantascy presented Morán's novel El Dios Asesinado en el Servicio de Caballeros in Madrid and Barcelona. The novel contains a fantasy story taking place in a hidden underworld of Barcelona, which is populated by gods, ghosts and gnomes. Its protagonist Veronica, or Parabellum, is one of the few humans that know of this secret underworld, and she earns a living as a supernatural detective solving murder mysteries. El Dios breaks with the common tropes of the noir genre, in part simply because of its female protagonist. Morán stated that he decided to create Veronica "because there are strong and independent women who do not need to be rescued."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational%20thermodynamics | Computational thermodynamics is the use of computers to simulate thermodynamic problems specific to materials science, particularly used in the construction of phase diagrams.
Several open and commercial programs exist to perform these operations. The concept of the technique is minimization of Gibbs free energy of the system; the success of this method is due not only to properly measuring thermodynamic properties, such as those in the list of thermodynamic properties, but also due to the extrapolation of the properties of metastable allotropes of the chemical elements.
History
The computational modeling of metal-based phase diagrams, which dates back to the beginning of the previous century mainly by Johannes van Laar and to the modeling of regular solutions, has evolved in more recent years to the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams). This has been pioneered by American metallurgist Larry Kaufman since the 1970s.
Current state
Computational thermodynamics may be considered a part of materials informatics and is a cornerstone of the concepts behind the materials genome project. While crystallographic databases are used mainly as a reference source, thermodynamic databases represent one of the earliest examples of informatics, as these databases were integrated into thermochemical computations to map phase stability in binary and ternary alloys. Many concepts and software used in computational thermodynamics are credited to the SGTE Group, a consortium devoted to the development of thermodynamic databases; the open elements database is freely available based on the paper by Dinsdale. This so-called "unary" system proves to be a common basis for the development of binary and multiple systems and is used by both commercial and open software in this field.
However, as stated in recent CALPHAD papers and meetings, such a Dinsdale/SGTE database will likely need to be corrected over time despite the utility in keeping a common base. In this case, most published assessments will likely have to be revised, similarly to rebuilding a house due to a severely broken foundation. This concept has also been depicted as an "inverted pyramid." Merely extending the current approach (limited to temperatures above room temperature) is a complex task. PyCalphad, a Python library, was designed to facilitate simple computational thermodynamics calculation using open source code. In complex systems, computational methods such as CALPHAD are employed to model thermodynamic properties for each phase and simulate multicomponent phase behavior. The application of CALPHAD to high pressures in some important applications, which are not restricted to one side of materials science like the Fe-C system, confirms experimental results by using computational thermodynamic calculations of phase relations in the Fe–C system at high pressures. Other scientists even considered viscosity and other physical parameters, which are beyond the domain of thermodynamics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen%20%28recommendation%20system%29 | Zen () is a personal recommendations service created by Yandex that uses machine learning technology.
In September 2022, Yandex sold the service to VK.
Zen creates a feed of content that automatically adjusts to the interests of a user. The selection of content is based on the analysis of browsing history, user-specified preferences, location, time of day and other factors.
The average monthly site traffic is around 59 million people.
Technology
Zen is an example of the implementation of a specialized artificial intelligence technology.
To analyze the interests and preferences of users, Yandex used information about sites that have been visited, as well as user-specified interests.
The system analyzes the user's favorite sites and other behaviors with the aim of creating a unique model of the user's preferences. With an increasing amount of data about the user, the system can offer the user more relevant and topical content, including content from sources unfamiliar to the user. Zen adapts to the changing interests of the user. For example, if a user begins to read about architecture, content on this subject will appear in their content feed more often.
Zen belong to the “Discovery” technology category (services and apps that use artificial intelligence to adapt to a user).
The technology that underlies Zen was adapted by Yandex and CERN for use in the Large Hadron Collider. It is used to provide in-depth analysis of the results of physics experiments taking place at the LHС.
Media platform
In 2017, Yandex announced the launch of a platform that allows companies and independent authors to publish media content (articles, photos, videos) directly to Zen. The platform also allows popular authors to earn money by using micropayment channels and ads.
In August 2021, the "Videos" section was launched in Zen. It contains videos up to 1 minute long created by Zen bloggers.
In 2021, the company paid out over 2 billion rubles to authors of publications.
Prior to the launch of the platform, Zen feeds consisted only of publications selected from publicly available sources.
After buying Zen, VK began to implement changes. In January 2023, the limit on uploaded videos was increased from 10 GB to 30 GB. In February 2023, users got an opportunity to withdraw money through the VK Pay service.
History
In 1997, Yandex began research into natural language processing, machine learning and recommendation systems. In 2009, the proprietary machine learning algorithm MatrixNet was developed by Yandex, becoming one of the key components that Zen functions on.
The first Yandex service to introduce the use of recommendation technology was Yandex.Music, which was launched in September 2014. This technology was then implemented in Yandex.Market and Yandex.Radio.
In June 2015, a beta version of Zen became available. At first, the Zen content feed showed only content from the media, and the service was only available to the 5% of users of Yandex Browser o |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digimon%20Story%3A%20Cyber%20Sleuth%20%E2%80%93%20Hacker%27s%20Memory | is a role-playing video game developed by Media.Vision and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. It is the follow-up to 2015's Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, part of the Digimon Story series, and based on the larger Digimon franchise. The game shares elements and locations from its predecessor, while featuring a new story set during its events.
The game was released in Japan in December 14, 2017, and worldwide on January 19, 2018. A port of the game and its predecessor, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition, was released on October 18, 2019 for Nintendo Switch and Windows.
Gameplay
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory is a role-playing game, played from a third-person perspective where the player takes control of Keisuke Amasawa, a Digimon tamer who can command up to three of his companions in battle against other Digimon. The player can choose between either Gotsumon, Betamon, or Tentomon as their partner at the start of the game, with more obtainable as the story is progressed.
It features 341 creatures in total, including all those present in the original version of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, plus an additional 92. It also contains many of the original areas and maps found in its predecessor along with new additions.
Plot
Hacker's Memory takes place in the same world and timeline as the original Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth: a near-future version of Shibuya, Japan where an advanced form of the internet known as Cyberspace Eden which users can physically enter. The story revolves around a boy named , whose EDEN Account is stolen in a phishing attack. After the identity theft leaves him accused of a crime he didn't commit, he joins a group of hackers called "Hudie" and delves into the depths of Eden to find the real culprit. Along the way, he befriends a number of Digimon, digital lifeforms who inhabit the information world. Keisuke is assisted in his mission by , a shy, reclusive member of Hudie who possesses a genius mind that can link directly to EDEN itself, and her Digimon partner Wormmon. Characters from the original Cyber Sleuth, such as Fei and her partner TigerVespamon from the hacker group Zaxon, also appear; this shows a previously unseen side of their story from the previous title.
Keisuke Amasawa was accused of a crime he didn't commit, which lead to him dropping out of school. The only person left trusting him being his childhood friend, Yu Nogi. Keisuke's EDEN account had also been stolen, so Keisuke goes on a journey to find out who stole his account. Using information provided by a mysterious hacker known as K, he attempts to track down his missing account. He finds himself at the Digi-Market and attempts to buy a Digimon. He only has enough money to buy one of the worst Digimon they have, which he learns were going to be deleted soon. Keisuke demands the salesman let the other Digimon go instead of deleting them, causing the salesman to become angry and summon his |

Ghodssi received his Bachelor's (1990), Master's (1992), and Doctoral (1996) degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He then performed his post-doctorate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1997-1999, joining the faculty at the University of Maryland in 2000. Between 2009 and 2017, Ghodssi directed the ISR, launching a number of interdisciplinary initiatives such as the Maryland Robotics Center (MRC) and the Brain and Behavior Initiative (BBI), of which he served as the founding co-Director for six years (2015-2021). These initiatives are aimed at enhancing the impact of ISR's research on society; they also looked to build a more interactive faculty, staff, and student community across the different disciplines within ISR. Efforts at the MRC include advancing the underlying component technologies and the applications of robotics through a focus on interdisciplinary educational and research programs. Work at the BBI aims to revolutionize the interface between neuroscience and engineering by generating novel approaches and tools to understand the complex behaviors produced by the human brain. Part of Ghodssi's community-building also includes reaching out to industry and alumni: these efforts have resulted in a large number of industry-sponsored monthly seminar series as well as annual fellowships for graduate students and post-doctoral associates. Combined, these initiatives work to promote an active industry-oriented mentoring ecosystem in the Systems Engineering Education program in ISR. Dr. Ghodssi served as the President-elect of the Transducer Research Foundation (TRF) from 2020 until 2022. Since June 2022, he has been serving as the new President of TRF. The TRF is a nonprofit organization in the United States whose mission is to stimulate research in science and engineering, with emphasis on technologies related to transducers, microsystems, and nanosystems, and to foster the exchange of ideas and information between academic, industrial, and government researchers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Gusfield | Daniel Mier Gusfield is an American computer scientist, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. Gusfield is known for his research in combinatorial optimization and computational biology.
Education
Gusfield received his undergraduate degree in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley in 1973, his Master of Science degree in computer science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1975, and his PhD in Engineering Science from Berkeley in 1980; his doctoral advisor was Richard Karp.
Career and research
Gusfield joined the faculty at Yale University in Computer Science in 1980, and left in 1986 to join the Department of Computer Science at UC Davis as an associate professor. Gusfield was made Professor of Computer Science in 1992 and served as the chair of the Department of Computer Science at UC Davis from 2000 to 2004. Gusfield was named distinguished professor in 2016, which is the highest campus-wide rank at the University of California at Davis.
Gusfield's early work was in combinatorial optimization and its real-world application. One of his early major results was in network flow, where he presented a simple technique to convert any network flow algorithm to one that builds a Gomory-Hu tree, using only five added lines of pseudo-code. Another contribution was in stable matching, where he contributed to a polynomial-time algorithm for the Egalitarian Stable Marriage Problem, proposed by Donald Knuth. Gusfield's work on stable marriage resulted in the book, co-authored with Robert Irving, The Stable Marriage Problem: Structure and Algorithms.
Starting in 1984, Gusfield branched out into computational biology, making Gusfield one of the first computer scientists to work in this field. His first result in computational biology was written in the Yale Technical Report The Steiner-Tree Problem in Phylogeny, which has never been published in a journal. His first published paper in computational biology, "Efficient Algorithms for Inferring Evolutionary History", was initially published as a technical report in 1988, and was subsequently published in the journal Networks; this paper is now the most cited of Gusfield's papers. Gusfield's 1993 paper on multiple sequence alignment is the first publication indexed in PubMed under "computational biology".
Gusfield's impact on the early days of Computer Science research in algorithmic computational biology is substantial. He was a member of the United States Department of Energy Human Genome Research Program Panel in 1991, and a member of the steering committee for the Rutgers-Princeton DIMACS center special year on Mathematical Support for Molecular Biology from 1994 to 1995. In 1995, he co-organized the Dagstuhl Conference on Molecular Bioinformatics. He has been a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Computational Biology since its inception in 1996. At the University of California at Davis, he wa |
