https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkurious | Linkurious is a software company that provides graph data visualization and analytics software for various use cases such as financial crime, intelligence, cybersecurity or data governance.
Linkurious has offices in Montreuil, France and Bethesda, MD, USA.
History
Linkurious was founded in 2013 by Sébastien Heymann, David Rapin and Jean Villedieu following the development of Gephi, which was inspired by the prototype for Stanford's Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis project Mapping the Republic of Letters and looked at connections across thousands of communities in Europe and North America during The Enlightenment.
Products
Linkurious Enterprise provides case management capabilities as well as detection, data search, visualization and exploration capabilities for various graph databases such as Neo4j, Azure Cosmos DB, TitanDB, DataStax, AllegroGraph and RedisGraph.
Linkurious has developed a Javascript graph visualization library named Ogma. It provides a graphics engine based on WebGL and supports older machines with HTML5 Canvas.
Linkurious' graph visualization tool is used for NASA's Lessons Learned database, identifying connections between seemingly unlikely subjects, such as a correlation between contaminated fluid and battery fire risk.
Applications
Panama Papers
The ICIJ used a commercial version of Linkurious and Neo4j in the investigation of the Panama papers, uncovering 4.8 million leaked files consisting of emails, 3 million database entries, 2.2 million PDFs, 1.2 million images, 320,000 text files, and 2242 files, evidence of money laundering, tax evasion or political corruption.
Swiss Leaks
The ICIJ also utilized the software during the Swiss Leaks investigation that revealed a massive tax evasion scheme in which 180.6 billion euros passed through HSBC accounts.
FinCEN files
In 2020, the ICIJ used the software and Neo4j to visualize and explore the FinCEN Files’ 400 spreadsheets containing data on 100,000 transactions.
Pandora Papers
In 2021, the ICIJ leveraged the capabilities of Linkurious and Neo4j once more to analyse the data from the Pandora Papers. The leak involved 14 different offshore services firms and 11.9 million records, amounting to 2.94 terabytes. The network visualisations were able to help organise and explain the data.
Justice for Myanmar
The campaign group Justice for Myanmar used the software to map the financial connections of the Myanmar military and publish the "Cartel Finance Map".
Obsalytics
The non-profit organization Obsalytics combined Linkurious and open data to understand the main power structures and financial flows in Syria.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%20Blunt | Shannon D. Blunt is an American radar engineer and the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Kansas (KU) in Lawrence, KS. He is Director of the KU Radar Systems & Remote Sensing Lab (RSL) and the Kansas Applied Research Lab (KARL).
Education and career
Blunt grew up in New Madrid, Missouri, and was one of five valedictorians in the class of 1994 at New Madrid County Central High School. He then received B.S., M.S., and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Missouri in 1999, 2000, and 2002. From 2002 to 2005 he worked as a radar engineer in the Radar Division of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, joining the University of Kansas in 2005. His research interests are in sensor signal processing and system design with a particular emphasis on waveform diversity and spectrum sharing techniques, having made a variety of contributions that have been deployed in operational radar and sonar systems.
Research contributions
With a focus on the intersection between theoretical signal processing and radar systems engineering, Blunt has led the development of numerous radar research contributions, with many of these being experimentally demonstrated using open-air measurements. Some noteworthy examples, many of which are patented/patent-pending, include:
Development of the reiterative minimum mean-square error (RMMSE) framework, which has led to experimental demonstrations of adaptive pulse compression (APC), deconfliction of radar/radar spectrum sharing, fast-time radar clutter cancellation, magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain imaging, and passive direction finding.
Development of the polyphase-coded frequency modulation (PCFM) implementation that converts arbitrary polyphase radar codes, which suffer significant distortion in high-power transmitters due to abrupt phase changes, into continuous phase waveforms that are amenable to operational systems. This code-to-waveform mapping provides a linkage that enables optimization of physically-realizable signals, including subsequent hardware effects.
Development of a class of spectrally-shaped random frequency modulated (RFM) radar waveforms that have been experimentally demonstrated for moving target indication (MTI). Because they do not repeat during the radar's coherent processing interval (CPI), their nonrepeating structure realizes a multiplicative increase in dimensionality relative to traditional repeated operation.
Development and experimental demonstration of distinct forms of dual-function radar/communications based on spatial, frequency, and coding degrees of freedom.
Development of a radar sense-and-notch formulation of cognitive radar using RFM waveforms that was experimentally demonstrated to enable MTI operation while performing determination of in-band interference and subsequent on-the-fly spectrally-notched waveform generation at a 4 kHz update rate.

First formed in San Francisco in 1976, early chapters were established in Boston and New York. Girth & Mirth gatherings were predecessors of the Convergence events, launched by the national Affiliated Bigmen's Club (ABC) in 1986, and collaboratively organized with various G&M chapters in subsequent years. The popularity of Girth & Mirth clubs led to a broader chubby culture that intersected with bear groups in the early 1990s. Over time Girth & Mirth chapters overlapped with, or became absorbed by, ABC, which itself was renamed the Big Gay Men's Organization (BGMO) in 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Android%20app%20stores | The functionality of mobile devices running the Android operating system, the most used mobile operating system globally, can be extended using "apps" – specialized software designed to offer users the means to use their devices for specific additional purposes. Such apps are compiled in the Android-native APK file format which allows easy redistribution of apps to end-users.
Most apps are distributed through Google's Play Store but many alternative software repositories, or app stores, exist. Alternative app stores use Android devices' "Unknown Sources" option to install APK files directly via the Android Package Manager.
Google Play Store
The Google Play Store (originally the Android Market), operated and developed by Google, serves as the official app store for Android, allowing users to download apps developed with the Android software development kit (SDK) and published through Google. The store offers both free and paid apps. Apps exploiting the hardware capabilities of a device can be targeted to users of devices with specific hardware components, such as a motion sensor (for motion-dependent games) or a front-facing camera (for online video calling). The Google Play store had over 50 billion app downloads in 2013 and has reached over 2.96 million apps published in 2020.
Although bundled with most Android devices, the Play Store is only available on devices that are certified within the "Android Compatibility Program". As a result, manufacturers of so-called "custom ROMs", i.e., modified versions of Android, are not allowed to bundle Google apps, including the Play Store, with their software. Compatibility can be restored by installing the Google apps from another source, such as OpenGApps, or using alternative app stores.
Manufacturer app stores
In addition to some manufacturers not creating certified compatible versions of Android, some manufacturers have decided to bundle their own app stores, either in addition to the Play Store or as a replacement.
Such app stores include:
Samsung Galaxy Store, which is installed on Samsung mobile devices alongside the Play Store.
Amazon Appstore, which is installed instead of the Play Store on Amazon's Fire Phone and Kindle Fire. The Amazon Appstore can be installed on other Android devices by downloading it from the Amazon website. This will also be the default way to install Android apps on Windows 11.
Huawei AppGallery, which is installed on Huawei mobile devices. After the Google Mobile Services ban, AppGallery is the sole app distribution on Huawei's phones.
Xiaomi Mi GetApps
OPPO App Market
VIVO App Store
Third-party app stores
App stores that do not rely on pre-installation by the manufacturer are an alternate option for finding Android applications. Apps offered through third-party app stores or websites, created by parties not affiliated with the device or operating system (OS), are also third-party apps.
Such stores include:
Everymodapk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global%20Science%20Opera | The Global Science Opera (GSO) is a creative education initiative that combines science, art, technology, and education in a global network of scientists, art and education institutions and projects. Using digital interaction, schools, universities and art and institutions from over 30 participating countries perform and live-stream Global Science Opera performances. One team in each participating country is invited to develop a two-minute scene for the opera, with all the scenes being performed together on a designated date as a continuous, real-time event that viewers can watch online.
History
Global Science Opera began in May 2014 as a collaboration between the European Commission's CREAT-IT project and representatives of the following initiatives:
Write a Science Opera (WASO): A creative approach to science and art inquiry in schools, developed at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences
The Galileo Teacher Training Program (GTTP) and Global Hands-On Universe (GHOU): Global networks of science teachers
Distance Learning: ICT-based connections amongst rural schools, led by the educational organization Ellinogermaniki Agogi in Athens, Greece
Their idea for the first Global Science Opera production, "SkyLight", was proposed to the International Astronomical Union as an official initiative of the International Year of Light 2015.
After the proposal's approval in July 2014, a network of institutions in 38 countries, encompassing schools, universities, operas, and science and art institutions, were invited to participate in the first GSO production. Preparation took place between July 2014 and October 2015, based on a flat hierarchy infrastructure and the philosophy "Democracy, respect and friendship was, and will be, the heart of this community."
In 2016, GSO was announced as a flagship initiative of the European Commission's project "Developing an Engaging Science Classroom (CREATIONS)" and is a Case Study in the Norwegian Research Council's project "Integrating Science of Oceans, Physics and Education (iSCOPE)".
Productions
SkyLight
"SkyLight" was performed on October 3, 2015, in collaboration with Lunar Mission One, as part of World Space Week 2015. The artwork for the "SkyLight" poster was provided by space and nature photographer Babak Tafreshi.
The science opera was live-streamed by the 31 participating countries, including schools, universities, art institutions and volunteers, and coincided with the final conference of the CREAT-IT project. SkyLight – a Global Science Opera" was screened during the International Year of Light 2015 closing ceremony and film festival in the Centro de convenciones de Yucatán, Mexico.
Presentations of SkyLight

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree%20shaking | In computing, tree shaking is a dead code elimination technique that is applied when optimizing code. Often contrasted with traditional single-library dead code elimination techniques common to minifiers, tree shaking eliminates unused functions from across the bundle by starting at the entry point and only including functions that may be executed. It is succinctly described as "live code inclusion".
History
Dead code elimination in dynamic languages is a much harder problem than in static languages. The idea of a "treeshaker" originated in LISP in the 1990s. The idea is that all possible execution flows of a program can be represented as a tree of function calls, so that functions that are never called can be eliminated.
The algorithm was applied to JavaScript in Google Closure Tools and then to Dart in the dart2js compiler also written by Google, presented by Bob Nystrom in 2012 and described by the book Dart in Action by author Chris Buckett in 2013:
The next wave of popularity of the term is attributed to Rich Harris's Rollup project developed in 2015.
Relation to ECMAScript 6 modules
The popularity of tree shaking in JavaScript is based on the fact that in contrast to CommonJS modules, ECMAScript 6 module loading is static and thus the whole dependency tree can be deduced by statically parsing the syntax tree. Thus tree shaking becomes an easy problem. However, tree shaking does not only apply at the import/export level: it can also work at the statement level, depending on the implementation.

Rowen is one of the founders of MIPS Computer Systems, Inc in 1984, of Tensilica Inc. in 1997 and of Babblelabs, Inc in 2017. Rowen was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2016 for leadership in the development of microprocessors and reduced instruction set computers.
Private life
Rowen was raised in Los Angeles, California, Washington D.C. and Atherton, California as one of six children. His father, Henry Rowen, was a national security expert, economist and academician. His mother, Beverly Griffiths Rowen, was trained as a chemist, and later worked as a technical writer, academic manager and policy advisor. He attended public schools, attended Harvard University and graduated with a bachelor's in physics. He later went to Stanford University to earn his master's degree and PhD in electrical engineering in 1985. He married Anne Baker in 1982, and has three daughters. He lives in Santa Cruz, California.
Career
Rowen worked first as a summer intern in 1977, then as a new college graduate for Intel Corporation, starting in 1978, specifically on random access memory products. He returned to studies in 1980, while continuing to work part-time at Intel's Santa Cruz facilities, where he met his wife, Anne Baker. His research work reduced instruction set computers, called the Stanford MIPS project, along with advisor John L. Hennessy, and fellow students, Thomas Gross, Steve Przybylski, Norman Jouppi and others, eventually led to the founding of MIPS in 1984. At MIPS he worked on the MIPS instruction set, design tools, and verification of the MIPS R2000 and R3000 processors. He also led development of several generation of small UNIX workstations and servers and eventually led microprocessor research as Vice President of Microprocessor Design during the development of MIPS R4000, R4200 and R10000 processors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid%20crystalline%20elastomer | Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are slightly crosslinked liquid crystalline polymer networks. These materials combine the entropy elasticity of an elastomer with the self-organization of the liquid crystalline phase. In liquid crystalline elastomers, the mesogens can either be part of the polymer chain (main-chain liquid crystalline elastomers) or are attached via an alkyl spacer (side-chain liquid crystalline elastomers).
Due to their actuation properties, liquid crystalline elastomers are attractive candidates for the use as artificial muscles or microrobots.
History
LCE were predicted by Pierre-Gilles de Gennes in 1975 and first synthesized by Heino Finkelmann.
Properties
In the temperature range of the liquid crystalline phase, the mesogen's orientation forces the polymer chains into a stretched conformation. Heating the sample above the clearing temperature destroys this orientation and the polymer backbone can relax into (the more favored) random coil conformation. That can lead to a macroscopic, reversible deformation. Good actuation requires a good alignment of the domains' directors before cross-linking. This can be achieved by: stretching of the prepolymerized sample, photo-alignment layers, magnetic or electric fields and microfluidics.
Mechanical Properties
Soft Elasticity
Because of their anisotropy, the mechanical response of aligned nematic LCEs varies depending upon the direction of applied stress. When stress is applied along the direction of alignment (parallel to the director, ), the strain responds in a linear fashion, with a slope dictated by the material’s Young’s modulus. This linear stress-strain behavior continues until the material reaches its yield stress, at which point it may neck or strain harden before eventually failing. The shape of the stress-strain curve for LCEs stretched parallel to their aligned direction matches that of most classical rubbers and can be described using treatments such as rubber elasticity.
In contrast, when stress is applied perpendicular to the direction of alignment, the strain behavior exhibits a drastically different response. For an unconstrained LCE, after an initial region where the stress-strain response matches that of classical rubbers, the material exhibits a large plateau where near-constant stress leads to ever-increasing strain. The term “soft elasticity” describes this large plateau region. After a critical strain is reached in this region, the stress-strain response returns to that of LCEs stretched in a direction parallel to their director.
The theory used to describe soft elasticity first arose to explain experimental observations of the phenomena in unconstrained LCEs that reoriented in the presence of an external electric field. The theory of soft elasticity states that when an LCE is stretched in a direction perpendicular to its alignment direction, its chains rotate and reorient to align in the direction of applied stress. Assuming that the LCE chains are al |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First%20Dates%20%28American%20TV%20series%29 | First Dates is an American reality television show based on the British version of the show of the same name. It first aired on the NBC network on April 7, 2017. Ellen DeGeneres was the executive producer and Drew Barrymore narrated. It was not picked up for a second season.
Format
The show was filmed at the MK Restaurant in near North Side Chicago, showing many people on blind dates—i.e., they haven't met each other before. At the end of the date, the couples were interviewed together and asked whether they would like to see each other again.
Since transmission of the first season's final episode, the MK Restaurant has closed, due to a dispute between the building's new landlord and the owner. Its final service was on Tuesday, June 13, 2017.

Plot
HairCo. is a megacorporation run by Wallace Eastman that specializes in improving people's hair. His helicopter chases after a scientist named Dr. Harrison who escapes by jumping into a river.
12 years later, a young boy named Adam Harrison the son of Dr. Harrison, lives with his mother, Shelly but keeps getting harassed by the local bullies Tony, Dale, and Garcia for being unjustly judged by other students and being the mutual crush of a kindhearted girl named Emma. Over time, he also notices that strange things start happening to him, like his feet growing bigger so his toes stick out of his shoes and that his hair growing right back over night even after his mother gave it a complete chop.
After discovering not only the fact that his father is alive, but also his current location from a box his mother Shelly had kept hidden, Adam sets out on an epic and daring quest to uncover the mystery behind his long-lost dad only to find out that he is none other than the legendary Bigfoot who has been hiding deep in the forest for years to protect himself and his family from Eastman who is eager to run scientific experiments with his special DNA. What neither of them knew was that a truck driver named Fat Dan had nearly run over Adam. Bigfoot saved Adam, but Fat Dan got some footage of it and put it in the newspaper.
Adam discovers that he too is gifted with superpowers similar to his dad, like having large feet, supersonic hearing, running at incredible speeds and speaking to animals like Tina the red squirrel, Trapper the raccoon, his wife Weecha, Wilbur the Kodiak bear, and Steve the European green woodpecker .
Meanwhile, Eastman heard about the sighting, and although reluctant follows the traces to Bigfoot. In order to draw out Adam, Eastman arranges for his mother's car to be intercepted by a road block agent . The men roam the forest to search for more evidence. After Adam is apprehended, he sends them to a false site, where they fail greatly. This results using Adam as bait to lure Bigfoot, ending with Bigfoot being captured.
Eastman and his scientist Dr. Billingsley begin their experiment on Bigfoot who Eastman recognizes as Dr. Harrison. The hair sample is tested on Dr. Billingsley's usual intern who asks her to sign his volunteer paper. The sample causes the intern to grow extraordinarily long hair all over his body. With the help of the animals, Adam rescues his father, leading |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence%20C.%20Rafsky | Lawrence C. Rafsky (Larry Rafsky), is an American data scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. Rafsky created search algorithms and methodologies for the financial and news information industries. He is co-inventor of the Friedman-Rafsky Test commonly used to test goodness-of-fit for the multivariate normal distribution.
Rafsky founded and became chief scientist for Acquire Media, a news and information syndication company, now a subsidiary of Moody's.
Research
Rafsky invented the Friedman-Rafsky Test, along with Jerome H. Friedman, now a fundamental procedure in multivariate data. This Multivariate normality test checks a given set of data for goodness-of-fit to the multivariate normal distribution. The null hypothesis is that the data set is a sample from the normal distribution, therefore a sufficiently small p-value indicates non-normal data. In 1981, Rafsky outlined this algorithm in a study published by the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Rafsky and Friedman qualified their test in a 1983 publication in collaboration with Stanford University and Gemnet Software. The two asserted that interpoint-distance-based graphs are capable of being used to define measures of association that extend Kendall's notion of a correlized co-efficient. For this research, Rafsky was granted the Theory and Methods Award from the American Statistical Association in 1981. Rafsky also holds ten US patents, focused on the syndication, delivery, and aggregation of news content. He has a scholar h-index of 15, a g-index of 37, and an Erdos number of 3.
Business
Gemnet Software and FAME
In 1982, Rafsky founded Gemnet, the creator of the FAME (Forecasting Analysis and Modeling Environment) time series database. Rafsky established Gemnet's operations initially in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but was later moved following Citicorp's acquisition of the company. The first version of the software was delivered to Harris Bank in 1983, with a focus on creating a time series-oriented database engine and the 4GL scripting language. This would eventually become known as the FAME model, or Forecasting Analysis and Modeling Environment. In 1984, the company was bought by Citicorp, which led a series of new developments with the FAME program until selling off the unit to private equity firm Warburg Pincus in 1994.
Later ventures
In the 1990s, Rafsky research and management positions at Bell Labs, Citicorp, the IDD Information Services, and ADP. Rafsky worked with future Baidu founder and chief executive officer Robin Li, who helped pioneer early search engine algorithms. IDD, a division of Dow Jones focused on financial news and information's relation to securities pricings. Rafsky partnered with ADP and Townsend-Greenspan, the consulting firm of US economist Alan Greenspan. In 1998, Rafsky founded Gari Software, which he later sold to Wavephore Labs. He subsequently formed Acquire Media, a digital content syndication company in 2001. He retired from full-time work |
