https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Cycle%20Route%2061 | National Cycle Route 61 is part of the National Cycle Network managed by the charity Sustrans. It runs for 34 miles from Maidenhead (Berkshire) to Rye House (Hertfordshire) via Uxbridge, Watford, St Albans, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City and Hertford in the United Kingdom.
Route
Maidenhead to Uxbridge
Maidenhead | Windsor | Uxbridge
National Cycle Route 61 starts from a junction with National Cycle Route 4 on the southern outskirts of Maidenhead. It follows the Jubilee River (a River Thames flood relief channel, passing north of Windsor not far from Eton College. Just north of Eton, the route leaves the river to cross Ditton Park and then turns north through Langley. The route then follows country lanes and a section of unsurfaced bridleway before joining National Cycle Route 6 on the towpath of the Grand Union Canal at Cowley in Uxbridge, not far from Brunel University.
Uxbridge to St Albans
Uxbridge | Rickmansworth | Watford | St Albans
From Uxbridge to St Albans, route 61 shares a common section described in the National Cycle Route 6 entry. With a few diversions, the route from Uxbridge to Rickmansworth follows the towpath of the Grand Union Canal in the Colne Valley. At Rickmansworth it joins the Ebury Way, a rail trail which runs along a former line of the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway. After central Watford, the route continues to follow the River Colne north westwards leading to an attractive wooded section at Bricket Wood. Route 61 then climbs up into the village of Chiswell Green, an unsurfaced section leads to the bridge over the A414, the former M10 motorway.
Passing through the southern suburbs of St Albans the route then reaches a level crossing over the railway, known locally as the Abbey Flyer after the nearby St Albans Abbey station. Cyclists wishing to visit Verulamium (Roman St Albans) should use the level crossing and follow the St Albans Green Ring signs to the park and museum. Just after this level crossing, route 61 leaves National Cycle Route 6. The centre of St Albans can be reached by following route 6 north from here.
St Albans to Rye House
St Albans | Hatfield | Welwyn Garden City | Hertford | Ware | Rye House, Hoddesdon
The section of route 61 from St Albans to Hatfield is known as the Alban Way. It is a former railway line. Just after the route pass the former London Road station, it goes under the Midland Main Line and then reaches a zig-zag cycle route up the hill to St Albans City station. At Nast Hyde, Hatfield, a local resident has restored the former station platform sign and provided information about the former railway.
The cycle route then enters Hatfield, passing east of the Galleria shopping centre and curving round to join National Cycle Route 12 just north of Hatfield station.
The combined routes 12 and 61 then pass over the A414 and pass the hamlet of Mill Green where there is a restored water mill, Mill Green Museum. Just before Twentieth Mile Bridge in Welwyn Garden City, route 61 l |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbered%20Panda | Numbered Panda (also known as IXESHE, DynCalc, DNSCALC, and APT12) is a cyber espionage group believed to be linked with the Chinese military. The group typically targets organizations in East Asia. These organizations include, but are not limited to, media outlets, high-tech companies, and governments. Numbered Panda is believed to have been operating since 2009. However, the group is also credited with a 2012 data breach at the New York Times. One of the group's typical techniques is to send PDF files loaded with malware via spear phishing campaigns. The decoy documents are typically written in traditional Chinese, which is widely used in Taiwan, and the targets are largely associated with Taiwanese interests. Numbered Panda appears to be actively seeking out cybersecurity research relating to the malware they use. After an Arbor Networks report on the group, FireEye noticed a change in the group's techniques to avoid future detection.
Discovery and security reports
Trend Micro first reported on Numbered Panda in a 2012 white paper. Researchers discovered that the group launched spear phishing campaigns, using the Ixeshe malware, primarily against East Asian nations since approximately 2009. CrowdStrike further discussed the group in the 2013 blog post Whois Numbered Panda. This post followed the 2012 attack on the New York Times and its subsequent 2013 reporting on the attack. In June 2014, Arbor Networks released a report detailing Numbered Panda's use of Etumbot to target Taiwan and Japan. In September 2014, FireEye released a report highlighting the group's evolution. FireEye linked the release of Arbor Network's report to Numbered Panda's change in tactics.
Attacks
East Asian Nations (2009-2011)
Trend Micro reported on a campaign against East Asian governments, electronics manufacturers, and a telecommunications company. Numbered Panda engaged in spear phishing email campaigns with malicious attachments. Often, the malicious email attachments would be PDF files that exploited vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and Flash Player. The attackers also used an exploit that affected Microsoft Excel - . The Ixeshe malware used in this campaign allowed Numbered Panda to list all services, processes, and drives; terminate processes and services; download and upload files; start processes and services; get victims’ user names; get a machine's name and domain name; download and execute arbitrary files; cause a system to pause or sleep for a specified number of minutes; spawn a remote shell; and list all current files and directories. After installation, Ixeshe would start communicating with command-and-control servers; oftentimes three servers were hard-coded for redundancy. Numbered Panda often used compromised servers to create these command-and-control servers to increase control of a victim's network infrastructure. Using this technique, the group is believed to have amassed sixty servers by 2012. A majority of the command-and-c |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mers%20Kutt | Merslau "Mers" Kutt CM (born 1933) is a Canadian inventor, businessman and educator. He is a former professor of mathematics at Queen's University. Through his company, Micro Computer Machines, he is the developer of the world's first keyboard-based portable microcomputer.
Early life
Kutt was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He graduated in 1956 from the University of Toronto with a degree in mathematics and physics.
Career
After employment in industry at Phillips, IBM and Honeywell, Kutt worked as a professor of mathematics at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario during the 1960s. He served as president of the Canadian Information Processing Society, and was director of the University's computing centre. In 1968, after observing the punched card-based input systems in use there at the time to program its mainframe, he partnered with Donald Pamenter to start a company, Consolidated Computer Inc., and produced "Key-Edit", a terminal with a one-line of display, which both streamlined and reduced the cost of the process. This product was the first of its kind, and was sold and used in many countries during the next few years distributed by International Computers Limited and Fujitsu.
By 1971, Kutt been forced out of Consolidated's management, and he formed two more companies, Micro Computer Machines and Kutt Systems Inc. As president of these companies he directed the design and manufacture in 1973 of the MCM/70, the world's first complete microprocessor-based, portable personal computer. The device, based on the Intel 8008 processor, was used to edit and execute programs using the APL programming language.
The MCM/70 technical specifications were overtaken by products from companies with larger development and marketing budgets, and by 1982 the product was no longer in production.
In 1976 Kutt started up another Toronto company, All Computers Inc., which developed improvements to several Intel processors. By 2004, Kutt was the company's only employee; that year he sued Intel, alleging that his patented circuitry had been included in Pentium processors. The suit was dismissed in 2005.
In 2006, Kutt was inducted into the Order of Canada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANpie | CANpie (CAN Programming Interface Environment) is an open source project and pursues the objective of creating and establishing an open and standardized software API for access to the CAN bus.
The project was established in 2001 by MicroControl and is licensed under Apache License version 2.0. The current version of the CANpie API covers both classical CAN frames as well as ISO CAN FD frames. The API is designed for embedded control applications as well as for PC interface boards: embedded microcontrollers are programmed in C, a C++ API is provided for OS independent access to interface boards. The API provides ISO/OSI Layer-2 (Data Link Layer) functionality. It is not the intention of CANpie to incorporate higher layer functionality (e.g. CANopen, SAE J1939).
Driver principle
The CANpie API supports the concept of hardware message buffers (mailboxes) with a total limit of 255 buffers. A message buffer has a unique direction (receive or transmit). As an option it is possible to connect a FIFO with arbitrary size to a message buffer for both transfer directions. The total number of CAN channels is limited to 255, the API provides a method to gather information about the features of each CAN hardware channel. This is especially important for an application designer who wants to write the code only once. The CAN frame time-stamping (specified by CiA 603, CAN Frame time-stamping – Requirements for network time management) is supported with a resolution of 1 nano-second.
Usage
The following code snippet shows the initialisation of a microcontroller.
#include "cp_core.h" // CANpie core functions
void MyCanInit(void)
{
CpPort_ts tsCanPortT; // logical CAN port
//---------------------------------------------------
// setup the CAN controller / open a physical CAN
// port
//
memset(&tsCanPortT, 0, sizeof(CpPort_ts));
CpCoreDriverInit(eCP_CHANNEL_1, &tsCanPortT, 0);
//---------------------------------------------------
// setup 500 kBit/s
//
CpCoreBitrate(&tsCanPortT,
eCP_BITRATE_500K,
eCP_BITRATE_NONE);
//---------------------------------------------------
// start CAN operation
//
CpCoreCanMode(&tsCanPortT, eCP_MODE_OPERATION);
//.. now we are operational
}

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan%20Mission%20Network | The Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) is the primary Coalition, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) network for NATO-led missions in Afghanistan (ISAF, RSM). By providing a common network over which to share critical information, the AMN enabled a shift in information-sharing posture from "need to know" to "need to share," resulting in an increase in situational awareness among coalition partners.
AMN establishes a common information sharing platform that provides standardised services such as email, instant messaging or chat, Common Operational Picture service, VTC, Voice over IP and Web Services for document sharing and application integration to all coalition participants.
The effort generated invaluable lessons in how to approach coalition networking in future operations. Based on those lessons learned with AMN, NATO is institutionalising this approach under the Federated Mission Networking initiative.
History
Initially British Forces integrated their national mission network, called "Overtask" with the NATO provided coalition network. From end 2008 to October 2009 a combined team of United States Central Command, NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency and NATO Communications and Information Systems Services Agency interconnected the coalition network provided by NATO with the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS) of the US. By end of 2009 the federation concept had proven to be feasible and effective and the Afghanistan Mission Network was formally established in January 2010, when the commander of the ISAF Joint Command issued the order "Migration to the Afghanistan Mission Network" to all subordinated elements.
Coalition Partner Contributions
NATO provides the core mission network element of the AMN to which network contributing coalition participants interconnect their own networks. When the AMN was first established in January 2010 the AMN core was already federated with the CENTRIXS-ISAF (CX-I) network contributed by the United States and the OVERTASK network of the United Kingdom. The first coalition participants joining the AMN in 2010 were Canada with the Land Command Support System (LCSS) and Italy with CAESARNet.
In May 2011, France became the fifth nation that connected its command network to the AMN. One month later on 11 June 2011 Germany and Norway interconnected their networks (known as DEUAMN and NORAX) with the AMN core.
The AMN grew quickly (~90000 users in May 2011) and many coalition participants such as Spain, Turkey, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, and the Czech Republic joined the AMN with their own national network extensions. By the end of 2011 48 NATO and Partner Nations operated on AMN.
Following the completion of the ISAF mission in December 2014, the Resolute Support Mission (RSM) was launched in January 2015. AMN continues to be the primary mission network for the forces that are part of RSM.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing%20Women%2C%20Testing%20the%20Fetus | Testing Women, Testing the Fetus by Rayna Rapp is a book, published in 1999, about analysis of the social repercussions of prenatal genetic testing. Rapp combines the data she collected herself with historical context of amniocentesis and genetic counseling to argue that amniocentesis and those abortions following positive test results is a social decision as much as an individual one.
Methodology of research
Beginning with her own prenatal diagnosis experience in 1983, Rapp spent approximately 15 years conducting research on the effects and experiences of genetic testing on women. Her research was spread across various locations in New York City.
Rapp used a method of research known as "participant observation" to gather data for this project. For her, this meant interviewing women, geneticists, and obstetricians; visiting laboratories, and prenatal testing centers; and working alongside advocates for disabled people. The women Rapp interviewed came from a range of religious backgrounds, socioeconomic strata, and positions of societal privilege, all of which she factored into her evaluation of each subject's decision-making process.
Synopsis
Testing Women, Testing the Fetus explains the religious, cultural, racial, class, and scientific influences that impacted the decisions of mothers given positive prenatal diagnoses. These influences ranged from discussions with partners, or lack thereof, to miscommunications between doctors and patients during translation of "technical language into vernacular."
Her project was focused around three primary arguments: that amniocentesis is a contributor to stratified reproduction; that scientific knowledge is used to enforce that stratified social structure; and that society needs to improve communication between the disabled community and the proponents of genetic testing.
Rapp's book begins with a three-chapter introduction to genetic counseling, followed by a chapter analyzing the relationships and potential miscommunications between genetic counselors and their clients. Chapter 5 explores the "waiting period" for women as they anticipate results of amniocentesis testing, and the three chapters after are analyses of cultural and social influences on women's perceptions of disability, prenatal technology, and abortion. Chapter 9 is a reflection on both positive disability diagnoses and the choices women have to make afterwards regarding the continuation of their pregnancy. Rapp concludes her book with a chapter on the medicalization of healthcare for children born with Down Syndrome and an introduction to her theme of pregnant women as "moral pioneers."
In her research, Rapp found that women who received a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome were quicker to make the decision of whether to terminate the pregnancy or not than those who were given other, sometimes more severe diagnoses. She also discovered that there was a difference in abortion decisions between women with disability diagnoses and tho |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine%20learning%20control | Machine learning control (MLC) is a subfield of machine learning, intelligent control and control theory
which solves optimal control problems with methods of machine learning.
Key applications are complex nonlinear systems
for which linear control theory methods are not applicable.
Types of problems and tasks
Four types of problems are commonly encountered.
Control parameter identification: MLC translates to a parameter identification if the structure of the control law is given but the parameters are unknown. One example is the genetic algorithm for optimizing coefficients of a PID controller or discrete-time optimal control.
Control design as regression problem of the first kind: MLC approximates a general nonlinear mapping from sensor signals to actuation commands, if the sensor signals and the optimal actuation command are known for every state. One example is the computation of sensor feedback from a known full state feedback. A neural network is commonly used technique for this task.
Control design as regression problem of the second kind: MLC may also identify arbitrary nonlinear control laws which minimize the cost function of the plant. In this case, neither a model, nor the control law structure, nor the optimizing actuation command needs to be known. The optimization is only based on the control performance (cost function) as measured in the plant. Genetic programming is a powerful regression technique for this purpose.
Reinforcement learning control: The control law may be continually updated over measured performance changes (rewards) using reinforcement learning.
MLC comprises, for instance, neural network control,
genetic algorithm based control,
genetic programming control,
reinforcement learning control,
and has methodological overlaps with other data-driven control,
like artificial intelligence and robot control.
Applications
MLC has been successfully applied
to many nonlinear control problems,
exploring unknown and often unexpected actuation mechanisms.
Example applications include
Attitude control of satellites.
Building thermal control.
Feedback turbulence control.
Remotely operated underwater vehicles.
Many more engineering MLC application are summarized in the review article of PJ Fleming & RC Purshouse (2002).
As for all general nonlinear methods,
MLC comes with no guaranteed convergence,
optimality or robustness for a range of operating conditions.

Research
Michael Elad works in the fields of signal processing and image processing, specializing in particular on inverse problems and sparse representations. The field of
sparse representations introduces a universal dimensionality reduction model for data sources and signals based on "sparsity", along with various theoretical and practical tools for implementing it. In recent years this field has been shown to be intimately connected to deep-learning architectures and algorithms. Prof. Elad has authored hundreds of technical publications in this field, many of which have led to exceptional impact. Among these, he is the creator of the K-SVD algorithm, together with Michal Aharon and Bruckstein, and he is also the author of the 2010 book "Sparse and Redundant Representations: From Theory to Applications in Signal and Image Processing".
In 2017, Prof. Elad and Yaniv Romano (his PhD student) created a specialized MOOC on sparse representation theory, given under edX.
In 2015-2018 Prof. Elad headed the Rothschild-Technion Program for Excellence. This is a flagship undergraduate program at the Technion, meant for exceptional students with emphasis on tailored and challenging study tracks for each of the ~50 students enrolled, along with an exposure to rese |

He is the founding director of EcoCloud at EPFL, an industrial/academic consortium investigating efficient and intelligent data-centric technologies. He is a professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL. Prior to that he was a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, and an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University. He holds a bachelor's degree in computer science, a bachelor's degree in electrical and computer engineering (both summa cum laude) with distinctions from SUNY Buffalo, and a master's degree and PhD in computer science from University Wisconsin - Madison.
He has made numerous contributions to computer system design and evaluation including a server architecture which laid the foundation for Sun Microsystems' NUMA machines, technologies to minimize (leakage) power in the memory system in the absence of activity (Supply Gating) and in shared memory (Snoop Filtering) prevalent in modern CPUs and multi-socket servers, and memory system accelerators in modern (ARM) CPUs in mobile platforms. He has shown that hardware memory consistency models are neither necessary (in the 90's) nor sufficient (a decade later) to achieve high performance in multiprocessor systems. These results eventually led to fence speculation in modern (x86) CPUs. He argued and demonstrated that the slowdown in silicon efficiency (Dennard's Law) and density scaling (Moore's Law) would lead to Dark Silicon and specialization in servers. These results led to a follow-on study on careful characterization of scale-out workloads on server platforms which laid the foundation for the first generation of Cavium ARM server CPUs, ThunderX.
He is a recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, was named an ACM Fellow in 2015 for contributions to multiprocessor and memory architecture design and evaluation and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2012 for contributions to multiprocessor architecture and memory systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross%20Harbour%20ferry%20services | The Cross Harbour ferry service, officially known as F4 Cross Harbour, was a commuter ferry service in Sydney, New South Wales. Part of the Sydney Ferries network, it was operated by Transdev Sydney Ferries and serviced the Darling Harbour, Lavender Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay areas.
Introduced on 26 November 2017, the service replaced the entirety of the predecessor F4 Darling Harbour service and the Watsons Bay stopping pattern of the F7 Eastern Suburbs service. Emerald-class ferries and SuperCat ferries operated the service. On 25 October 2020, the service ceased and was split into F4 Pyrmont Bay and F9 Watsons Bay services.
History
Prior to the introduction of the Cross Harbour route, service patterns on the Sydney Ferries network were often divided between wharves located west of Circular Quay, and wharves located east, with the exception of a short-lived service in the mid-1990s that linked McMahons Point and Rose Bay. The Cross Harbour service is a successor to the Darling Harbour ferry service, which existed in many iterations between the 1980s and 2017. The new service was unveiled by the New South Wales Government on 27 March 2017.
Following community consultation jointly held by the ferry operator Transdev Sydney Ferries and Transport for NSW in 2019/20, the F4 route was divided into F4 Pyrmont Bay and F9 Watsons Bay services on 25 October 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-synchronized%20sequence | In mathematics and theoretical computer science, a k-synchronized sequence is an infinite sequence of terms s(n) characterized by a finite automaton taking as input two strings m and n, each expressed in some fixed base k, and accepting if m = s(n). The class of k-synchronized sequences lies between the classes of k-automatic sequences and k-regular sequences.
Definitions
As relations
Let Σ be an alphabet of k symbols where k ≥ 2, and let [n]k denote the base-k representation of some number n. Given r ≥ 2, a subset R of is k-synchronized if the relation {([n1]k, ..., [nr]k)} is a right-synchronized rational relation over Σ∗ × ... × Σ∗, where (n1, ..., nr) R.
Language-theoretic
Let n ≥ 0 be a natural number and let f: be a map, where both n and f(n) are expressed in base k. The sequence f(n) is k-synchronized if the language of pairs is regular.
History
The class of k-synchronized sequences was introduced by Carpi and Maggi.
Example
Subword complexity
Given a k-automatic sequence s(n) and an infinite string S = s(1)s(2)..., let ρS(n) denote the subword complexity of S; that is, the number of distinct subwords of length n in S. Goč, Schaeffer, and Shallit demonstrated that there exists a finite automaton accepting the language
This automaton guesses the endpoints of every contiguous block of symbols in S and verifies that each subword of length n starting within a given block is novel while all other subwords are not. It then verifies that m is the sum of the sizes of the blocks. Since the pair (n, m)k is accepted by this automaton, the subword complexity function of the k-automatic sequence s(n) is k-synchronized.
Properties
k-synchronized sequences exhibit a number of interesting properties. A non-exhaustive list of these properties is presented below.
Every k-synchronized sequence is k-regular.
Every k-automatic sequence is k-synchronized. To be precise, a sequence s(n) is k-automatic if and only if s(n) is k-synchronized and s(n) takes on finitely many terms. This is an immediate consequence of both the above property and the fact that every k-regular sequence taking on finitely many terms is k-automatic.
The class of k-synchronized sequences is closed under termwise sum and termwise composition.
The terms of any k-synchronized sequence have a linear growth rate.
If s(n) is a k-synchronized sequence, then both the subword complexity of s(n) and the palindromic complexity of s(n) (similar to subword complexity, but for distinct palindromes) are k-regular sequences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous%20things | Autonomous things, abbreviated AuT, or the Internet of autonomous things, abbreviated as IoAT, is an emerging term for the technological developments that are expected to bring computers into the physical environment as autonomous entities without human direction, freely moving and interacting with humans and other objects.
Self-navigating drones are the first AuT technology in (limited) deployment. It is expected that the first mass-deployment of AuT technologies will be the autonomous car, generally expected to be available around 2020. Other currently expected AuT technologies include home robotics (e.g., machines that provide care for the elderly, infirm or young), and military robots (air, land or sea autonomous machines with information-collection or target-attack capabilities).
AuT technologies share many common traits, which justify the common notation. They are all based on recent breakthroughs in the domains of (deep) machine learning and artificial intelligence. They all require extensive and prompt regulatory developments to specify the requirements from them and to license and manage their deployment (see the further reading below). And they all require unprecedented levels of safety (e.g., automobile safety) and security, to overcome concerns about the potential negative impact of the new technology.
As an example, the autonomous car both addresses the main existing safety issues and creates new issues. It is expected to be much safer than existing vehicles, by eliminating the single most dangerous elementthe driver. The US's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 94 percent of US accidents were the result of human error and poor decision-making, including speeding and impaired driving, and the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School claims that "Some ninety percent of motor vehicle crashes are caused at least in part by human error". So while safety standards like the ISO 26262 specify the required safety, there is still a burden on the industry to demonstrate acceptable safety.
While car accidents claim every year 35,000 lives in the US, and 1.25 million worldwide, some believe that even "a car that's 10 times as safe, which means 3,500 people die on the roads each year [in the US alone]" would not be accepted by the public. The acceptable level may be closer to the current figures on aviation accidents and incidents, with under a thousand worldwide deaths in most yearsthree orders of magnitude lower than cars. This underscores the unprecedented nature of the safety requirements that will need to be met for cars, with similar levels of safety expected for other Autonomous Things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca%20Bace | Rebecca "Becky" Gurley Bace (1955–2017) was an American computer security expert and pioneer in intrusion detection. She spent 12 years at the US National Security Agency where she created the Computer Misuse and Anomaly Detection
(CMAD) research program. She was known as the "den mother of computer security". She was also influential in the early stages of intelligence community venture capital and was a major player in Silicon Valley investments in cyber security technology.
Early life and education
Bace grew up in rural Alabama as one of seven children and was diagnosed with epilepsy in adolescence. Her mother was a war bride from Japan following World War II and her father was a self-educated teamster from Alabama. Due to prevailing attitudes about the illness and about women, her neurologist suggested that she stay home and collect disability following high school. She credited a local librarian and family friend, Bertha Nel Allen, for the encouragement to apply for college and scholarships. She won scholarships from charitable foundations set up by Betty Crocker and Jimmy Hoffa in her senior year of high school, and in 1973 she was accepted to the University of Alabama at Birmingham as the only woman in engineering. Because of financial hardship and frequent employment interruptions, she took eight years of classes at various schools to earn her degree. Bace first became interested in computing during her freshman year working with punch cards programming Fortran and COBOL on an IBM mainframe and got her first engineering job while teaching at an engineering lab. She was approached by a couple of Xerox technicians who needed to fill affirmative action requirements, and accepted a job as a specialist repairing copier machines. Of the experience she stated that she faced significant gender and racial bias, and that "sometimes customers would raise a ruckus for having to deal with [her] because they believed they had been given "second best" when [she] showed up, even though [she] was better educated than most of the men."
Career
After graduation in 1984, Bace started working at the NSA, and while searching for a flexible job to allow her to care for her autistic son who was later diagnosed with leukemia, she took an assignment in 1989 in the National Computer Security Center. The NCSC was chartered as part of the NSA expressly to deal with computer security issues for the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. Bace served as program manager for intrusion detection research, specifically on transferring research into the relatively new commercial security products market. She played a pivotal role in the apprehension of Kevin Mitnick, proving that trace back and capture were possible beyond the theoretical context. She also provided some of the seed funding for computer security labs at UC Davis and Purdue University.
Following the death of her son, Bace went to serve as the deputy security officer at Los Alamos National Lab |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisella%20small%20RNAs | Several small RNAs have been identified in Francisella tularensis, pathogenic bacterium that causes the disease tularaemia. Very little is known about Francisella's regulatory networks that allow this bacterium to survive in many environments.
Ftr A and Ftr B (Francisella tularensis sRNA A and B) were the first sRNAs identified in F. tularensis, more specifically in F. t. holarctica. Experimental analysis confirmed the expression of the well known non-coding RNAs: tmRNA and 4.5S RNA as well as identification of the 2 new sRNAs Ftr A and Ftr B. A genome-wide in silico search found several other sRNAs. Ftr A and Ftr B share no sequence similarity or conserved genomic context with any previously annotated regulatory RNAs. Deletion of Ftr A and Ftr B led to significant changes in the expression of several mRNAs. However, it did not alter Francisella's survival during normal growth or under stress conditions. Also deletion of those sRNAs did not affect bacterium ability to induce disease in a mouse model. A major study in F. t. novicida later demonstrated FtrA to be associated with a CRISPR/Cas system and to repress an endogenous transcript encoding a bacterial lipoprotein.
FtrC (Francisella tularensis sRNA C) is the first sRNA shown to modulate the virulence capacity of F. tularensis. High expression of FtrC reduces intracellular multiplication of the bacteria in macrophages and in organs of infected mice. FtrC mRNA target gene was also identified, but it is not involved in Francisella multiplication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca%20Gino | Francesca Gino (born ) is an Italian-American behavioral scientist.
In June 2023, after an investigation concluded that she had falsified data in her research, she was placed on unpaid administrative leave from her position as Tandon Family Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School (HBS) and as head of HBS's Negotiation, Organizations and Markets (NOM) unit.
Education and early career
Gino grew up in Tione di Trento, Italy. She earned her Bachelor's degree at the University of Trento, Italy in 2001, and her MS and PhD at Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa in 2004. During these studies, she came to Harvard Business School as a visiting fellow, and stayed on as a postdoctoral fellow after completing her Ph.D.
Before joining Harvard University in 2010, she taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Carnegie Mellon University.
Career
Gino conducted research on rule-breaking, which she discusses in her 2018 book, Rebel Talent. She was also affiliated with Harvard Law School's Program on Negotiation, and with Harvard University's Mind, Brain, Behavior Initiative. Between December 2016 and 2019, she served as editor-in-chief of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.
Gino, the co-author of many peer-reviewed articles, was described by behavioral scientist Maurice Schweitzer at the Wharton School as a "leading scholar in the field" of behavioral science.
Allegations of data fabrication
In June 2023 Gino was placed on administrative leave by Harvard. She is a co-author of a 2012 article that was retracted for being based on falsified data; she reported that a lab manager collected the data.
At least three more studies associated with Gino allegedly contain falsified data.
Two additional papers, published in 2014 and 2015, of which she was the first author, were retracted in June 2023. One paper she had worked on had already been retracted due to probable falsification by a co-author. Gino declined to confirm or deny the allegations. The fourth paper is set to be retracted in September 2023.
According to Max Bazerman, her colleague at Harvard Business School and a coauthor with her on multiple papers, Harvard informed him that the experiments he co-authored with Gino contained additional fraudulent data.
Response
Gino subsequently filed a defamation suit against Harvard, Harvard Business School Dean Srikant Datar, and a trio of data investigators for $25 million, alleging that they had conspired to damage her reputation with false accusations and that the penalties against her amounted to gender-based discrimination under Title IX.
The suit does not contest or refute the defendants' scientific findings. It asserts that since the researchers used inference and probability to argue that the anomalies between the original dataset and the data used in Gino's analyses could not have been due to random chance or benign error, and therefore occurred from fraudulent manipulation, the defen |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major%20League%20Fishing | Major League Fishing (MLF) is a professional bass fishing league and television show that airs on Outdoor Channel, World Fishing Network, and Discovery Channel. The league was established in partnership between the Professional Bass Tour Anglers' Association (PBTAA) and Outdoor Channel as an answer to other professional fishing tournaments that the anglers compete in. The show focuses on personalities and struggles of anglers in competition rather than purely on results.
Major League Fishing was the top-rated show on Outdoor Channel and is different from other professional fishing tournaments in that every bass boat has a referee on board to weigh each catch immediately and ensure quick catch and release, and fisherman all have a constant update on how fellow competitors are performing through iPads on their boats. Additionally, anglers do not know where they are going before the day of the competition. The new style of tournament fishing was designed with conservation in mind, which is why fish are weighed and instantly released, anglers are not allowed to land fish or cradle them to their body and fish are never kept in the boat's live well. The shows are fished without revealing results instantly, as the results are shown when the television program airs.
Major League Fishing headquarters are located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
History
In 2010, the anglers of the PBTAA met with the Outdoor Channel to outline the first Major League Fishing competition—the 2012 Challenge Cup was filmed at Amistad Reservoir, Texas, in 2011 and aired on the Outdoor Channel in 2012. Professional Anglers Boyd Duckett and Gary Klein represent the anglers and originally came up with the idea of Major League Fishing. Major League Fishing is sponsored by a number of fishing-related companies and external organizations including Bass Pro Shops, General Tire, Lowrance, Sig Sauer and Geico. Many other fishing clubs around the country now use the MLF format for their tournaments, including the Brecknell digital scales used in competition and the SCORETRACKER LIVE! scoring system, as MLF continues to grow.
Anglers
Professional anglers who currently compete in Major League Fishing are B.A.S.S. or Fishing League Worldwide current or retired pros, including Edwin Evers, Kevin VanDam, Mike Iaconelli, Skeet Reese, Casey Ashley, Ott DeFoe and Gabriel Kilgore .
Events
Major League Fishing has two independent competitions, the Selects and Cups, which are each fished by a different set of anglers. The Cup anglers also compete for a chance to fish the MLF World Championship, which airs on CBS. MLF Cup events feature 3 days of competitions between 10 anglers, with the top 4 advancing from each day of competition into a Sudden Death Round. In the Sudden Death Rounds, the first 3 anglers to hit a designated "cut weight" receive a spot in the Championship Round, which is winner-take-all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%20Magerman | David Mitchell Magerman (born 1968) is an American computer scientist and philanthropist. He spent 22 years working for an investment management company and hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies.
Early life and education
Magerman was born to Melvin and Sheila Magerman. His father owned All-City Taxi in Miami, Florida, and his mother was a secretary for a group of accounting firms in Tamarac.
Magerman attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his B.S. degree. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University.
Career
Magerman spent two decades working for James Simons’s New York-based investment management company Renaissance Technologies, where he developed trading algorithms. In 2017, Magerman publicly opposed the views of his boss, Robert Mercer, concerning politics and race issues in America. Mercer, the co-CEO of Renaissance Technology, suspended Magerman without pay and later made the suspension permanent. That same year Magerman filed a federal lawsuit against Mercer, seeking an excess of $150,000 in damages over alleged racist comments and unlawful termination.
Business ventures
In order to maintain the Jewish community in his neighborhood, Magerman has worked on several business ventures. His first of these was Citron and Rose, an upscale kosher certified meat restaurant, with Michael Solomonov as the head chef. After seeing little to no benefit of an upscale dining experience, Magerman re-branded the establishment as C&R Kitchen, and split with head chef Solomonov. During this time, he opened a casual dairy restaurant across the street. To better serve the community, C&R Kitchen was closed and replaced with a more fast casual place, The Dairy Express, known for its high capacity pizza oven. However, both of these restaurants have closed, and Citron & Rose became, C&R the Tavern. Zagafen, a restaurant that was attempted to mimic the non-kosher, ZaVino, was also opened.
Philanthropy
Through founding The Kohelet Foundation, Magerman has donated tens of millions of dollars to local causes. Some of these include Kohelet Yeshiva High School (renamed from Stern Hebrew High School in the gift's honor), Yeshiva University and the Yeshiva Lab School.
In 2020, Magerman became a financial and vocal supporter of First Generation Investors, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that teaches high school students in underserved communities the power of investing and provides the students with real money to invest. He guest spoke to its students during a virtual webinar in July 2020.
Freedom from Facebook
Magerman provided the initial funds for the campaign group "Freedom from Facebook", donating $425,000 as of late 2018.
Personal life
Magerman married Debra Magerman (née Kampel), on August 8, 1999. They have four children.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20email | The history of email entails an evolving set of technologies and standards that culminated in the email systems in use today.
Computer-based messaging between users of the same system became possible following the advent of time-sharing in the early 1960s, with a notable implementation by MIT's CTSS project in 1965. Informal methods of using shared files to pass messages were soon expanded into the first mail systems. Most developers of early mainframes and minicomputers developed similar, but generally incompatible, mail applications. Over time, a complex web of gateways and routing systems linked many of them. Some systems also supported a form of instant messaging, where sender and receiver needed to be online simultaneously.
In 1971 the first ARPANET network mail was sent, introducing the now-familiar address syntax with the '@' symbol designating the user's system address. Over a series of RFCs, conventions were refined for sending mail messages over the File Transfer Protocol. Several other email networks developed in the 1970s and expanded subsequently.
Proprietary electronic mail systems began to emerge in the 1970s and early 1980s. IBM developed a primitive in-house solution for office automation over the period 1970–1972, and replaced it with OFS (Office System), providing mail transfer between individuals, in 1974. This system developed into IBM Profs, which was available on request to customers before being released commercially in 1981. CompuServe began offering electronic mail designed for intraoffice memos in 1978. The development team for the Xerox Star began using electronic mail in the late 1970s. Development work on DEC's ALL-IN-1 system began in 1977 and was released in 1982. Hewlett-Packard launched HPMAIL (later HP DeskManager) in 1982, which became the world's largest selling email system.
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) protocol was implemented on the ARPANET in 1983. LAN email systems emerged in the mid-1980s. For a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it seemed likely that either a proprietary commercial system or the X.400 email system, part of the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP), would predominate. However, a combination of factors made the current Internet suite of SMTP, POP3 and IMAP email protocols the standard (see Protocol Wars).
During the 1980s and 1990s, use of email became common in business, government, universities, and defense/military industries. Starting with the advent of webmail (the web-era form of email) and email clients in the mid-1990s, use of email began to extend to the rest of the public. By the 2000s, email had gained ubiquitous status. The popularity of smartphones since the 2010s has enabled instant access to emails.
Precursors
The first electrical transmission of messages began in the 19th century in the form of the electrical telegraph, which started to replace earlier forms of telegraphy from the 1840s in the United Kingdom and the United States.

The film originally aired on RAI network on December 14, 1998 (Italy) and PAX TV on August 27, 2000 (United States). It is also part of TNT's Bible Collection series.
Plot
The film depicts Jeremiah's journey as a young man chosen by God to deliver a message of repentance to the people of Judah. Despite facing persecution and rejection from the leaders and people of Judah, Jeremiah remains faithful to his mission, warning of impending disaster if the people do not turn away from their wickedness.
As Jeremiah's message becomes increasingly unpopular, he faces opposition from powerful political figures and false prophets who seek to silence him. The film portrays the challenges and hardships that Jeremiah endures as he seeks to remain faithful to God's call, even in the face of great danger and opposition.
Throughout the film, Jeremiah's faith and courage inspire others to join him in his mission, and his prophetic warnings ultimately prove to be true as Judah falls to the Babylonian Empire. Despite the tragedy that befalls his people, Jeremiah remains steadfast in his faith and trust in God. The film explores themes of faith, obedience, and perseverance in the face of adversity, and highlights the importance of speaking truth to power, even when it is unpopular or dangerous to do so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%20Engelhardt | Anna Nikolayevna Engelhardt (née Makarova; ; -) was a Russian women's activist, writer, translator, and the compiler of the Complete German-Russian Dictionary. Having been educated at one of the few schools offering education to women, she began working in a book store and then helped found the first women's publishing cooperative in Russia. Concerned with women's issues and their ability to support themselves, after her husband was banished from Saint Petersburg, Engelhardt became involved in the women's movement and helped establish the Bestuzhev Courses for women's higher education, as well as co-founding the Women's Institute of Medicine.
Early life
Anna Nikolayevna Makarova () was born on 2 June 1838 O.S. in Aleksandrovka village in the Nerekhtsky Uyezd of the Kostroma Governorate of the Russian Empire to Alexandra Petrovna (née Boltina) and . Her father, owned a small estate as a member of the gentry and was a noted actor, composer, lexicographer, and writer. Her mother died when she was six years old, and Makarova was sent in 1845 to study at one of the only girls' schools in the Russian Empire, the in Moscow. She studied languages, including where she studied English, French, German, and Italian. She graduated with honors in 1853 and returned to her home and continued her studies in her father's library, reading such writers as Nikolay Chernyshevsky, Charles Darwin, Nikolay Dobrolyubov and Alexander Herzen.
Career
In 1859, Makarova married Alexander Nikolayevich Engelhardt and the couple subsequently had three children: Mikhail (b. 1861),
Vera (b. 1863) and Nikolai (b. 1867). In 1860, she began compiling translations for children's magazines. During this same time frame, in 1862, she began working in a book store. Her actions were seen as scandalous at the time, as upper-class Russian women were not workers. Along with Nadezhda Stasova and Maria Trubnikova, Engelhardt founded the first Russian Women's Publishing Cooperative in 1863. The purpose of the cooperative was to create a means for financial independence for women and Engelgardt began publishing translations, including works of Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Robert Louis Stevenson, Émile Zola, and others. In all, she translated over seventy literary works as well as translating scientific works such as Robert Hoffmann's Agricultural Chemistry (1868) and works by François Rabelais. For over twenty-five years, Engelhardt worked at the magazine Bulletin of Europe and was the first editor-in-chief of the magazine Bulletin of Foreign Literature.
In 1870, Engelhardt and her husband were both arrested for participation in the socialist students' circle of the Saint Petersburg
Agricultural Institute ()(ru). After a month and a half, Engelhardt was released, as there was insufficient evidence of her involvement. Her husband spent eighteen months in prison and was then exiled for life from Saint Petersburg and banished to his estate near in the Smolensk Obla |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail%20sabotage | Rail sabotage (colloquially known as wrecking) is the act of disrupting a rail transport network. This includes both acts designed only to hinder or delay as well as acts designed to actually destroy a train.
Sabotage must be distinguished from more blatant methods of disruption (e.g., blowing up a train, train robbery).
Methods
Relay cabinet arson
In 2022, setting fire to rail relay cabinets that control track operations was a common method of sabotage during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Track obstruction
Damage to infrastructure
Notable instances
1861: East Tennessee bridge burnings – Union sympathizers destroyed nine railroad bridges in East Tennessee, on the orders of President Lincoln. The bridges were quickly rebuilt.
1864: John Yates Beall, a Confederate Navy officer, was discovered plotting to derail a Union passenger train and executed the following year.
1905: 20th Century Limited derailment - Although unconfirmed, the evidence pointed heavily to malicious involvement in the derailment of the New York Central Railroad's crack passenger train, the 20th Century Limited, resulting in 21 deaths.
1915: Vanceboro bridge bombing – the Saint Croix–Vanceboro Railway Bridge (over the U.S.–Canada border) was bombed by German saboteurs, although the bridge was not destroyed and was quickly rebuilt.
1939: 1939 City of San Francisco derailment
1942: Thamshavn Line sabotage – the transformer station for Norway's Thamshavn Line (an electric railroad) was blown up by Norwegian saboteurs during the German occupation.
1951: Huntly rail bridge bombing – a rail bridge near Mahuta, three miles from Huntly, New Zealand, was severely damaged by dynamite charges during an industrial dispute. The sabotage was discovered after the bridge rocked noticeably as a slow moving morning passenger train came to rest across the bridge after braking for, and striking aside, warning sleepers laid across the track. Police believed it was an attempt to intimidate open-cast mine-workers who were not on strike.
1995: Palo Verde derailment – a train in Palo Verde, Arizona, was derailed by saboteurs shifting the rails out of position, causing one fatality. The case remains unsolved.
2002: Jaunpur train crash – a rail was broken and caused a train to derail, killing twelve people. An Islamic extremist organization was blamed.
2002: Rafiganj train wreck – a train derailed on a bridge over a river in Bihar, India, killing at least 130 people. A Maoist terrorist organization was blamed.
2022–2023: Belarusian Rail War and the Russian Rail War - rail sabotage campaigns carried out by Belarusian and Russian opposition and paramilitary groups opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creeps%20by%20Night | Creeps by Night is an American old-time radio horror program. It was broadcast on the Blue Network February 15, 1944 - August 15, 1944.
Format
Using an anthology series format, Creeps by Night presented stories of suspense and mystery, described in a newspaper brief as "subtle, psychological chillers". The first episode, "The Voice of Death", dealt with a widow who was made to commit murders after hearing the voice of her dead husband.
On June 3, 1944, a columnist in the publication Showmen's Trade Review wrote about another episode: We were literally scared out of our skin the other evening while listening to a half-hour broadcast of "The Strange Burial of Alexander Jordan," one in the Blue Network's horror series, Creeps by Night. Star of the piece was Edmund Gwenn. Still thinking about it long after the station break, we couldn't help but ponder over the fact that radio has successfully adapted any number of short stories to the broadcasting medium...
A review in the trade publication Variety described the same episode as "a suspenseful dramatization", adding "Script was well written and acted, although ending was fairly obvious."
Personnel
Creeps by Night provided Boris Karloff with his first full-time role on a radio program, as he was host and narrator for the show when it was launched. However, when production of the show moved from the West Coast to New York City, Karloff was dropped and replaced by a new host, "Dr. X", effective May 23, 1944. The name of the actor who played "Dr. X" was unknown not only to the listening audience but also to other members of the cast. Variety's reviewer called the "Dr. X" development an "obvious attempt to build up audience interest in a narrator who has little or no public appeal when appearing under his own name."
Others frequently heard in the program included Abby Lewis, Gregory Morton, Everett Sloane, Jackson Beck, Ed Begley, Mary Patton, and Juano Hernandez.
Writers for the program were Gene Wang, Alonzo Dean Cole and Ruth Fenisong. Robert Maxwell was the producer, and Dave Drummond was the director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playtime%20%28Pretty%20Little%20Liars%29 | "Playtime" is the eleventh episode of Pretty Little Liars seventh season and the 151st episode overall. It first aired on the Freeform network in the United States on April 18, 2017. The installment was directed by Chad Lowe and written by Allyson Nelson and Joseph Dougherty. Upon its original airing in the United States, the episode was watched by 1.33 million people.
In the aftermath of Spencer's (Troian Bellisario) shooting, things get messy in the Hastings residence when Veronica (Lesley Fera) reveals things about the family's past. Meanwhile, the Liars struggle with their own personal problems, and with "A.D.", who has decided to play the final game.
Plot
Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is rescued by paramedics, and during a quick question session, she gets stunned, not knowing which surname to use, Hastings or Drake. At the hospital, the Liars find out that Toby (Keegan Allen) suffered an accident and is in the same hospital, while they begin to suspect that "A.D." is gone since Noel died. It is revealed through the Liars' conversation that Mary ran away after she revealed that she is Spencer's biological mother.
One week later, Toby reveals to Aria (Lucy Hale) that Yvonne is under induced coma, and Aria says Spencer is home safe and sound after the shooting. Meanwhile, Spencer looks for Mary in the Lost Woods Resort, but is unsuccessful. Aria packs to leave Ezra's (Ian Harding) apartment, but he suddenly appears, not letting her go. Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) wake up and decide to track down Jenna (Tammin Sursok), while Caleb promises to never lose Hanna from sight again. Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Paige (Lindsey Shaw) are introduced to Rosewood High's staff as swimming coach and athletic department supervisor, respectively. Paige leaves and Alison (Sasha Pieterse) comes in the room, revealing to Emily that she went to a doctor and she is indeed pregnant with Archer's child. Alison finds herself in a jeopardy when she discovers that Paige is a supervisor. Ezra reveals to Aria that he hasn't talked to Nicole about their wedding, while Mona (Janel Parrish) helps Hanna get back into the fashion business by showing Hanna's work to Katherine Daly (Emma Dumont), Senator Daly's daughter. However, Hanna argues with Mona when Katherine assumes that Mona is Hanna's boss. Alison and Emily discuss Alison's jealousy towards Paige. Ultimately, Alison verbally fights with Paige during a school staff reunion, leaving things awkward. While visiting a possible buffet for Aria and Ezra's marriage, Hanna and Aria run into Holden (Shane Coffey), Aria's long-time friend. Aria discovers that he is now a chef, among other skills, and they end up catching up on their lives.
"A.D." delivers an interactive board game which shows notable places of Rosewood and figurines of the Liars. They decide not to play the stalker's game, but Spencer secretly moves forward with the game. Veronica (Lesley Fera) returns home and reveals to Spencer that Pe |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental%20Machines | Elemental Machines is a company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that uses sensors and artificial intelligence to help biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies detect and identify research problems.

Element-T
The Element-T for temperature is an Internet of Things sensor that is used to measure temperature of equipment such as freezers, fridges, incubators and cold storage areas. These temperature readings are transmitted via Bluetooth to a tablet device, or Gateway, which is connected to the Internet. Temperature readings are uploaded every 15 seconds to the Elemental Cloud where they can be accessed by certified users. Alerts can be set to notify users of any out of specification readings. For instance if a -80C freezer's temperature increases above a threshold level (like -60C) the system will send a text alert to the user letting them know their freezer temperature is out of spec. The user can then take action to preserve the contents of their freezer.
Element-A
The Element-A is an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor that measures temperature, pressure, humidity and light simultaneously and transmits these readings via Bluetooth to the Gateway. The Element-A is typically used to monitor environments and micro-environments. Typical uses would include monitoring parts of a laboratory, animal research facilities or incubators. An article in The Scientist demonstrated how an HVAC system blowing on an HPLC instrument was causing erratic readings and the customer was able to discover this error using an Element-A to monitor the environment.
Element-D
The Element-D (for data) is an Internet of Things device used to extract data and metadata from other pieces of equipment, such as lab balances, incubators, blood glucose analyzers and other commonly used instruments. Once the data is extracted from the instrument it is uploaded to the Elemental Cloud via WiFi where it can be accessed by certified users. In this way, data can be collected from a variety of OEM instruments without any special software or interface. These data can then be shared via API with the users LIMS or ELN system or can be stored in anot |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen%2B | Zen+ is the codename for a computer processor microarchitecture by AMD. It is the successor to the first gen Zen microarchitecture, and was first released in April 2018, powering the second generation of Ryzen processors, known as Ryzen 2000 for mainstream desktop systems, Threadripper 2000 for high-end desktop setups and Ryzen 3000G (instead of 2000G) for accelerated processing units (APUs).
Features
Zen+ uses GlobalFoundries' 12 nm fabrication process, an optimization of the 14 nm process used for Zen, with only minor design rule changes. This means that the die sizes between Zen and Zen+ are identical as AMD chose to use the new smaller transistors to increase the amount of empty space, or "dark silicon", between the various features on the die. This was done to improve power efficiency & reduce thermal density to allow for higher clock speeds, rather than design an entirely new floorplan for a physically smaller die (which would have been significantly more work and thus more expensive). These process optimizations allowed 12 nm Zen+ to clock about +250 MHz (≈6%) higher, or to lower power consumption when at the same frequency by 10%, when compared to their prior 14 nm Zen products. Although conversely at the microarchitecture level, Zen+ had only minor revisions versus Zen. Known changes to the microarchitecture include improved clock speed regulation in response to workload ("Precision Boost 2"), reduced cache and memory latencies (some significantly so), increased cache bandwidth, and finally improved IMC performance allowing for better DDR4 memory support (officially JEDEC rated to support up to 2933 MHz compared to just 2666 MHz on the prior Zen core).
Zen+ also supports improvements in the per-core clocking features, based on core utilization and CPU temperatures. These changes to the core utilization, temperature, and power algorithms are branded as "Precision Boost 2" and "XFR2" ("eXtended Frequency Range 2"), evolutions of the first-generation technologies in Zen. On Zen, XFR gave an additional 50 to 200 MHz clock speed increase (in 25 MHz increments) over the maximum Precision Boost clocks. For Zen+, XFR2 is no longer listed as a separate clock modifier. Instead, the XFR temperature, power, and clock monitoring and logic feeds into the Precision Boost 2 algorithm to adjust clocks and power consumption opportunistically and dynamically.
Ultimately, the changes in Zen+ resulted in a 3% improvement in IPC over Zen; which in conjunction with 6% higher clock speeds resulted in up to 10% overall increase in performance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20countries%20by%20government%20budget%20%28PPP%29 | This article includes a list of countries by their partial forecasted estimated government budgets. The GDP dollar (INT$) data given on this page are derived from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations.
Comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than nominal when assessing a nation's domestic market because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates which may distort the real differences in per capita income. PPP is often used to gauge global poverty thresholds and is used by the United Nations in constructing the human development index. It is however limited when measuring financial flows between countries. These surveys such as the International Comparison Program include both tradable and non-tradable goods in an attempt to estimate a representative basket of all goods.
Estimating budgets
Note: For some federations like Brazil, only the federal budget is shown. For most other countries the total budget is shown. Although Germany is a federation, the statistics for Germany represent total general government spending. Similar to Germany, Russia has a federative structure and a three layer budget system, here the total government spending is shown.
List
Data are in millions of international dollars. Only sovereign states with over 500 billion in budget are included.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code%20Shikara | Code Shikara is a computer worm, related to the Dorkbot family, that attacks through social engineering.
Timeline
In 2011, the Code was first identified by the Danish cyber security company CSIS. The AV-company Sophos reported in November 2011 that this threat mainly spreads itself through malicious links through the social network Facebook.
In 2013, Bitdefender Labs caught and blocked the worm, which is capable of spying on users' browsing activities, meanwhile stealing their personal online/offline information and/or credentials, commonly known as cybercrime. The infection was originally flagged by the online backup service MediaFire, who detected that the worm was being distributed camouflaged as an image file. Despite the misleading extension, MediaFire successfully identified the malicious image as an .exe-file. The malicious Shikara Code poses as a .jpeg image, but is indeed an executable file. As an IRC bot, the malware is simply integrated by the attackers from a control and command server. Besides stealing usernames and passwords, the bot herder may also order additional malware downloads.
MediaFire had then taken steps to address incorrect and misleading file extensions in an update, which identified and displayed a short description by identifying specific file types. To help users for this specific threat, the file sharing service also blocked files with double extensions, such as .jpg.exe, .png.exe, or .bmp.exe. Just like usual malware, the Backdoor.IRCBot.Dorkbot can update itself once installed on the victim's computer or other related devices.
The biggest risk is that someone's Facebook contacts may have had their account already compromised (due to sloppy password security, or granting access to a rogue application) and that the account user has been allured by clicking on a link seemingly posted by one of their friends.
Although the links pretend to point to an image, the truth is that a malicious screensaver is hidden behind an icon of two blonde women. After the code is launched, it attempts to download further malicious software hosted on a specific compromised Israeli domain. The malware is currently not present on the Israeli website. All that remains is a message, seemingly from the intruders, that says:
Hacked By ExpLodeMaSTer & By Ufuq
It is likely that they are using additional or other websites in continuing spreading their cyberattack(s). Some other popular baits tricking users to click on malicious links include Rihanna or Taylor Swift sex tapes.
Statistics
Niger: Due to Information from the Kaspersky Cybermap, Shikara Spam Code has been ranking in April 2017 the Top number 1 in the country of Niger with 77.51%. Place #2 sits as Linguistic Analysis far behind, with 14.7%.
Code Shikara mainly circulates in following Countries (STATISTICS - April 22nd 2017):
Afghanistan (81.27%)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realm%20%28database%29 | Realm is an open source object database management system, initially for mobile operating systems (Android/iOS) but also available for platforms such as Xamarin, React Native, and others, including desktop applications (Windows). It is licensed under the Apache License.
In September 2016, the Realm Mobile Platform was announced, followed by the first stable release in January 2017. It allows two-way synchronization between the Realm Object Server and the client-side databases that belong to the given logged-in user. Both a developer and a commercial edition was released, along with a business license for integrating with other database management systems such as PostgreSQL.
In spring 2019, MongoDB acquired Realm for 39 million USD.
History
Realm's development began in the end of 2010 by Alexander Stigsen, along with Bjarne Christiansen, under the name TightDB. The company started in 2011 at Y Combinator.
It was promoted as NoSQL with configurable durability, and the ability to share the same groups of data across multiple processes, but also even multiple devices and clusters.
TightDB renamed its product to Realm in September 2014, and released it for public testing.
In March 2015, funding of about $20 million was disclosed.
Realm was mentioned in some trade press, including by other firms such as IBM.
Realm announced version 1.0 in June 2016, and released a platform for real-time two-way synchronization (beta in 2016 September, release in 2017 January), and provided a Node.js SDK for server-side applications.
In May 2017, UWP support was announced.
Features
The most notable features of Realm are the following:
As Realm is an object store, its typed language-specific APIs map typed objects directly into the Realm file – therefore classes are used as the schema definition.
Relationships between objects are allowed via "links". Each "link" creates a "backlink" as an inverse relationship to whichever objects are linking to the current object.
The query results returned by Realm are thread-local views to the current "database version" (as Realm handles concurrency with MVCC architecture), and these views "automatically update" when a transaction is committed from any thread, as long as Realm is able to update its instance version (which is possible on threads that are able to receive change notifications). When this happens, Realm calls change listeners that are added to its query results (if they've changed).
Each thread-local view returns proxy objects that only read from/write to the database when an accessor method is called, meaning all database access is lazy-loaded. Writes are allowed only while in a write transaction.
As each query result and each proxy object is a view to the underlying data, any change made to the database is reflected in all objects that point to the same data. Realm generally calls this behavior "zero-copy architecture" (along with the previously mentioned lazy-loaded data access).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberactivism%20in%20North%20Korea | Cyberactivism in North Korea refers to activism carried out with the use of information technologies such as the Internet and the distribution of information by civil society typically outside of North Korea to initiate and/or support change from within North Korea.
Measures
Media, information, and technologies can be smuggled or sent into North Korea
Local IT infrastructure can be exploited
Local IT infrastructure can be built (e.g. mesh networking)
Examples
Fighters for a Free North Korea, an activist group led by North Korean defector Park Sang-hak sent plastic bags with anti-Pyongyang leaflets, dollar bills and USB memory sticks into the country via helium balloons
According to Jeong Kwang-il, founder of the group No Chain, stealthy drones have been delivering SD cards and flash drives to North Korean residents since early 2015
In 2013, Anonymous started 'Operation Free Korea.'
Commentary
Jack David, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former presidential deputy assistant secretary of defense for combating weapons of mass destruction, states that "by clinging to the hope that Pyongyang can be induced to give up its ambitions for nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, officials are distracted from pursuing policies that might actually enable the people of North Korea to end the Kim dynasty" and that America's goal should be regime change. He suggests the next administration to "deny North Korean actors access to international financial institutions, and support the efforts of refugees (in South Korea and elsewhere) to pass information about the Free World to friends and family in North Korea".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20Enforcement%20Act | The Network Enforcement Act (, NetzDG; ), also known colloquially as the Facebook Act (), is a German law that was passed in the Bundestag that officially aims to combat fake news, hate speech and misinformation online.
The Act obliges social media platforms with over 2 million users to remove "clearly illegal" content within 24 hours and all illegal content within 7 days of it being posted, or face a maximum fine of 50 million Euros. The deleted content must be stored for at least 10 weeks afterwards, and platforms must submit transparency reports on dealing with illegal content every six months. It was passed by the Bundestag in June 2017 and took full effect in January 2018.
The law has been criticised both locally and internationally by politicians, human rights groups, journalists and academics for incentivising social media platforms to pre-emptively censor valid and lawful expression, and making them the arbiter of what constitutes free expression and curtailing freedom of speech in Germany.
An evaluation ordered by the German Ministry of Justice and executed by Berkeley and Cambridge scientists came to the conclusion that the law has led to a "significant improvement in complaints management and public accountability of network providers in dealing with designated illegal content" while specifying a range of tasks to be tackled like ascertainments in wording.
Background
In 2015, the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection set up a working group on the handling of criminal content in social networks. Some networks made voluntary commitments, but the ministry considered them insufficient.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas combated that an evaluation of legal practice in the deletion of criminal content in social networks by "jugendschutz.net" in early 2017 revealed that deletions of hateful comments were insufficient, and he called for further increased pressure on social networks. To make companies more accountable, he considered that legal regulations were needed. Although 90 percent of the punishable content was deleted on YouTube, it was only 39 percent on Facebook and only 1 percent on Twitter.
Drafting and enactment
On May 16, 2017, the government parties CDU/CSU and SPD introduced the bill to the Bundestag. According to the federal government, social networks would be forced to remove hate speech more consistently. The maximum penalty for a failure to abide by the law would be 50 million Euros.
The draft law referred to commercial social networks on the Internet with at least 2 million members, not to journalistically- and editorially-designed services (§ 1 NetzDG). Providers must establish a transparent procedure for dealing with complaints about illegal content (§ 3 NetzDG) and are subject to a reporting and documentation obligation (§ 2 NetzDG). They must check complaints immediately, delete "obviously illegal" content within 24 hours, delete any illegal content within 7 days it has been checked and block access to |
