https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20eavesdropping | Network eavesdropping, also known as eavesdropping attack, sniffing attack, or snooping attack, is a method that retrieves user information through the internet. This attack happens on electronic devices like computers and smartphones. This network attack typically happens under the usage of unsecured networks, such as public wifi connections or shared electronic devices. Eavesdropping attacks through the network is considered one of the most urgent threats in industries that rely on collecting and storing data. Internet users use eavesdropping via the Internet to improve information security.
A typical network eavesdropper may be called a Black-hat hacker and is considered a low-level hacker as it is simple to network eavesdrop successfully. The threat of network eavesdroppers is a growing concern. Research and discussions are brought up in the public's eye, for instance, types of eavesdropping, open-source tools, and commercial tools to prevent eavesdropping. Models against network eavesdropping attempts are built and developed as privacy is increasingly valued. Sections on cases of successful network eavesdropping attempts and its laws and policies in the National Security Agency are mentioned. Some laws include the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Types of attacks
Types of network eavesdropping include intervening in the process of decryption of messages on communication systems, attempting to access documents stored in a network system, and listening on electronic devices. Types include electronic performance monitoring and control systems, keystroke logging, man-in-the-middle attacks, observing exit nodes on a network, and Skype & Type.
Electronic performance monitoring and control systems (EPMCSs)
Electronic performance monitoring and control systems are used by employees or companies and organizations to collect, store, analyze, and report actions or performances of employers when they are working. The beginning of this system is used to increase the efficiency of workers, but instances of unintentional eavesdropping can occur, for example, when employees' casual phone calls or conversations would be recorded.
Keystroke logging
Keystroke logging is a program that can oversee the writing process of the user. It can be used to analyze the user's typing activities, as keystroke logging provides detailed information on activities like typing speed, pausing, deletion of texts, and more behaviors. By monitoring the activities and sounds of the keyboard strikes, the message typed by the user can be translated. Although keystroke logging systems do not explain reasons for pauses or deletion of texts, it allows attackers to analyze text information. Keystroke logging can also be used with eye-tracking devices which monitor the movements of the user's eyes to determine patterns of the user's typing actions which can be used to explain the reasons for pauses or deletion of texts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20route%20E1%20in%20Portugal | The European route E1 in Portugal is a series of roads, part of the International E-road network running on a north south axis on the west coast. It starts at the Spanish border in the north at Valença going almost perfectly south passing by several major Portuguese cities like Porto and Lisbon until the border with Spain again at Castro Marim.
Route
The route starts at the border town of Valença at the Minho river coming from the Spanish city of Vigo in the Norte Region. It follows Portuguese highway A3 by Braga to the second largest city in Portugal Porto. From this coastal city on the Atlantic Ocean, the E1 goes southwest, using the A1 motorway to the Centro Region passing by the major cities of Coimbra and Leiria to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. The motorway passes through the city center, from where it takes the A2 motorway crossing the sparsely populated Alentejo Region all the way until the south coast in the Algarve region at the merge with the A22 motorway at Albufeira. The road goes then east passing by Faro to the Spanish border at the Guadiana river in the Portuguese village of Castro Marim. The E1 is one of the most important highways in Portugal as it connects several major cities north to south. The E1 covers a total distance of 748 km (465 mi) within Portugal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20La%20Gaude | The IBM La Gaude Study and Research Center (Centre d'études et recherches IBM La Gaude) was a computer research laboratory for IBM in La Gaude, just west of Nice on the Côte d'Azur (French Riviera) on France's southeastern coast. In the 1990s, it became a presentation center for IBM Business Solutions. IBM left the site for the city of Nice in 2015.
World's first computer-controlled business telephone systems
French IBM engineers developed the world's first computer-controlled business telephone systems at IBM La Gaude.
1962 laboratory relocation from Paris to La Gaude
IBM moved its French research and product-development laboratory from Paris to a spectacular, purpose-built, 35,000 square-metre building, designed by the architect Marcel Breuer, in 23 hectares of rough countryside near the village of La Gaude overlooking Nice and Nice airport. IBM chose the location because it could attract the cream of French engineers to work on the French Riviera, it was close to France's second-largest airport, and because it complied with the French government's policy to decentralize from Paris and build away from urban centres.
Initially 700 people, mostly engineers, worked there. By 1987 there were 1,500 engineers in the original B1 building. The B2 building was built in 1969 and B3 (with a patio) in 1978. From 1984 to 1986 reinforcements were made to reduce the risk of earthquake damage. Staff included IBM employees from other European countries and the USA. In 2015 most staff were displaced to a new centre nearer Nice.
Products
IBM La Gaude developed telecommunication products for IBM's worldwide markets. For European markets there were the IBM 1750, 2750 and 3750 Switching Systems (world-wide the first electronic computer-controlled business telephone systems widely called PABXs — Private Automatic Branch Exchanges). For world markets La Gaude engineers developed the IBM 270x series of communication controllers, modems, and other IBM products.
In 1963, IBM La Gaude established a satellite link to IBM Endicott in the USA — at 3,300 words per minute.
Relocation from La Gaude
On 25 October 2007, more than 200 employees demonstrated against the transfer of personnel to AT&T.
In August 2015, some 530 IBM staff moved from La Gaude to the new IBM Innovation Center Nice in the high-tech district by the River Var close to Nice. Some IBM staff continued to work at IBM La Gaude; the buildings are also used by other organisations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomwaffen%20Division | The Atomwaffen Division (Atomwaffen meaning "nuclear weapons" in German), also known as the National Socialist Resistance Front, is an international far-right extremist and neo-Nazi terrorist network. Formed in 2013 and based in the Southern United States, it has since expanded across the United States and into the United Kingdom, Argentina, Canada, Germany, the Baltic states, and other European countries. The group is described as a part of the alt-right by some journalists, but it rejects the label and it is considered extreme even within that movement. It is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and it is also designated as a terrorist group by multiple governments, including the United Kingdom and Canada.
Members of the Atomwaffen Division have been held responsible for a number of murders, planned terrorist attacks, and other criminal actions.
History
In 2015, the group's creation was announced by founding member Brandon Russell, on the Neo-fascist and Neo-Nazi web forum IronMarch.org, which, prior to its shutdown in 2017, had been linked to several acts of Neo-Nazi terrorism and violent militant groups such as the Nordic Resistance Movement, National Action, CasaPound, and Golden Dawn. In its initial posts, the group described itself as a "very fanatical, ideological band of comrades who do both activism and militant training. Hand to hand, arms training, and various other forms of training. As for activism, we spread awareness in the real world through unconventional means."
The group's membership is mostly young, and it has also recruited new members on university campuses. Its campus recruitment poster campaigns urged students to "Join Your Local Nazis!" and say "The Nazis Are Coming!". It posted recruiting posters at the University of Chicago, the University of Central Florida, the Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and Boston University. Atomwaffen Division has recruited several veterans and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces who train the organization's members in the use of firearms and military tactics. A U.S. Navy officer was expelled for allegedly recruiting 12 members for the group and four affiliated US Marines were charged with trafficking and manufacturing firearms for the group. Atomwaffen members have also sought to train with the Azov Battalion and Russian Imperial Movement. In October 2020 Ukraine deported two Atomwaffen members who tried to join Azov for inciting murders and terrorism.
Atomwaffen has ties to various affiliated neo-Nazi groups and the fascist Satanist Order of Nine Angles (O9A), an organization which advocates rape and human sacrifice.
During an investigation, ProPublica obtained 250,000 encrypted chat logs written by members of the group. ProPublica, in early 2018, estimated that Atomwaffen had 80 members, while the Anti-Defamation League estimated that it had 24 to 36 active members. According to International Centre for Counter-Terrorism the group has a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W260CB | W260CB (99.9 FM, "The Detroit Praise Network") is a radio translator in Detroit, Michigan. Owned by Beasley Broadcast Group, it relays an urban gospel format broadcast by WDMK-HD2, which is also simulcast on W260CB 99.9, W252BX 98.3, and WMGC-HD2. The stations are collectively branded as The Detroit Praise Network.
History
W260CB first launched in 2000 as W206BI on 89.1 MHz as a repeater of Toledo, Ohio's WGTE-FM, covering the Hamtramck area. In 2010, it would move to 99.9 MHz as W260CB and become an FM repeater of AM 1200, before experimenting with a format of retro soul hits in early 2018. This would end when the station was purchased by Urban One, who relocated their Praise Radio station from WPZR (102.7 FM) upon that station's sale to the Educational Media Foundation on May 1, 2018. Upon moving to 99.9 and launching on August 9, 2018, the station acquired two repeaters (W228CJ in Oak Park and W252BX in Southwest Detroit) from the EMF to fill in gaps in coverage in the area. W228CJ has since flipped to sports on August 30, 2021.
Coverage area
W252BX 98.3 broadcasts from a transmitter on top of the Renaissance Center, covering Dearborn, River Rouge, Melvindale and Redford Township. W260CB broadcasts from the WRIF/WCSX/WMGC-FM broadcast tower in Royal Oak Charter Township, covering Southfield, Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise%20Productions | Sunrise Productions is a South African computer animation studio based in Cape Town. Notable productions include Jungle Beat, a computer-animated series and its spin-off shows Munki and Trunk and The Explorers.
Sunrise is known for producing Africa's first animated feature film, The Legend of the Sky Kingdom. While this debut feature was created using stop-motion, the studio has now moved exclusively into 3D CG and live action production. Sunrise's commercial division combines live action, animation and VFX.
History
Sunrise Productions was founded in 1998 in Zimbabwe by Phil Cunningham and Roger Hawkins. In 2003, the company released the stop motion feature, Legend of the Sky Kingdom. It was Africa's first animated full-length feature. Produced during a period of political unrest and extreme shortages, The Legend of the Sky Kingdom was produced in a style that the film-makers dubbed "junkmation”, using puppets built from recycled materials and filmed on a motion camera rig improvised out of bicycle parts.
In 2003, Sunrise stepped into the 3D CG space with their flagship series, Jungle Beat, which has run for 3 seasons and given rise to spin-off shows The Explorers and Munki and Trunk. In 2004, the studio consolidated their reputation for upbeat CG content with Once Upon a Stable, an animated television special.
Sunrise's live-action division was launched in 2009, with the production of The Lazarus Effect for Bono's (RED) campaign. The HBO documentary, executive produced by Spike Jonze, follows the story of HIV positive people in Africa who undergo a remarkable transformation thanks to antiretroviral treatment.
Sunrise has also pioneered a 3D animated character branding and marketing model for high-profile sports brands such as the Welsh Rugby Union and Juventus Football Club. In 2016, Sunrise produced a holiday-themed animated short featuring 'Jay', the Juventus club mascot, and an imaginative young boy.
Television
Sunrise's flagship series, Jungle Beat (2003-) is a CG-animated, non-dialogue, slapstick comedy series focusing on different animals and the bizarre situations in which they find themselves. The series is sold by Monster Entertainment, and has been broadcast in more than 180 countries on channels including Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and Nickelodeon.
In 2016, Sunrise expanded the Jungle Beat universe to include The Jungle Beat Explorers, which follows four clumsy, curious safari adventurers as they document the wild animals of the world. The 3D 13-episode series is broadcast exclusively on the Jungle Beat YouTube channel.
The Jungle Beat franchise was further expanded with the development of Munki and Trunk, a 52 x 7 minute series aimed at kids aged 4–7. The “tree-crashing, rock smashing, water-splashing, fruit-mashing, knock-about comedy adventure” centres on two unlikely best friends: crafty Munki and caring Trunk. In 2017, Aardman’s Rights and Brand Development division partnered with Sunrise to represent global telev |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumkani | Lumkani is a social enterprise launched by South African Students to deliver a networked heat detector device to decrease risks of fire in rural and urban informal settlements.
Foundation
Background
Lumkani was initially a university project created by Francois Petousis, an electrical engineering student in the University of Cape Town. Petousis designed a smoke detector. The current Lumkani system utilizes rate of temperature change, the original temperature detection system being designed by Samuel Ginsberg.
In 2014, Petousis and his team created the Lumkani startup along with his supervisor Samuel Ginsberg, to sell the heat detector device. The name of the startup and the device has its origins in the local Xhosa language, Lumkani means “Be careful”.
The device
The device is a small blue box that measure the rate of temperature rise rather than detecting smoke which helps in reducing false alarms. The network of Lumkani devices in a specific slum uses radio frequency to send text messages and notify people in cases of emergencies. An alarm will be activated in all houses within a radius if the initial alarm is not disarmed within 30 seconds.
The central device of the network locates the GPS coordinates of the blaze, to coordinate with the fire department for immediate intervention.
Installation
As of November 2014, Lumkani distributed 7,000 devices in South African slums. In 2015, more detectors were installed in 5000 households in South Africa's highest fire risk community in Cape Town, South Africa.
The start-up is planning to implement a social impact bond with several local governments to provide the device to numerous households in informal settlements for a small fee or for free.
Recognition & funding
In 2014, the startup received funding from South Africa’s Technology Innovation Agency (TIA).
In the same year, the startup won Global Innovation through Science and Technology competition’s Best Start-up award.
In 2015, the startup’s device was a finalist in the Katherine M. Swanson Young Innovator Award. On the same year, Lumkani won the People’s Choice Award at Global Social Venture Competition.
In 2020, Lumkani won the EIC Horizon Prize for Affordable High-Tech on Humanitarian Aid, at EU Research&Innovation Days.
Expansion
The startup is expanding its activities to other African countries and India.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphcore | Graphcore is a British semiconductor company that develops accelerators for AI and machine learning. It aims to make a massively parallel Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) that holds the complete machine learning model inside the processor.
History
Graphcore was founded in 2016 by Simon Knowles and Nigel Toon.
In the autumn of 2016, Graphcore secured a first funding round led by Robert Bosch Venture Capital. Other backers include Samsung, Amadeus Capital Partners, C4 Ventures, Draper Esprit, Foundation Capital, and Pitango.
In July 2017, Graphcore secured a round B funding led by Atomico, which was followed a few months later by $50 million in funding from Sequoia Capital.
In December 2018, Graphcore closed its series D with $200 million raised at a $1.7 billion valuation, making the company a unicorn. Investors included Microsoft, Samsung and Dell Technologies.
On 13 November 2019, Graphcore announced that their Graphcore C2 IPUs are available for preview on Microsoft Azure.
Meta Platforms acquired the AI networking technology team from Graphcore in early 2023.
Products
In 2016, Graphcore announced the world's first graph tool chain designed for machine intelligence called Poplar Software Stack.
In July 2017, Graphcore announced their first chip, called the Colossus GC2, a "16 nm massively parallel, mixed-precision floating point processor", first available in 2018. Packaged with two chips on a single PCI Express card called the Graphcore C2 IPU (an Intelligence Processing Unit), it is stated to perform the same role as a GPU in conjunction with standard machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow. The device relies on scratchpad memory for its performance rather than traditional cache hierarchies.
In July 2020, Graphcore presented their second generation processor called GC200 built in TSMC's 7nm FinFET manufacturing process. GC200 is a 59 billion transistor, 823 square-millimeter integrated circuit with 1,472 computational cores and 900 Mbyte of local memories. In 2022, Graphcore and TSMC presented the Bow IPU, a 3D package of a GC200 die bonded face to face to a power-delivery die that allows for higher clock rate at lower core voltage. Graphcore aims at a Good machine, named after I.J. Good, enabling AI models with more parameters than the human brain has synapses.

Jeremy's hard work earned him acceptance into Juilliard School. In 2016, he was cast as Rashid Bakr in the Netflix television adaptation as Dear White People. He was cast as Night Thrasher in New Warriors on Freeform, but the series would remain unaired before getting cancelled. On September 12, 2020, he left Dear White People and he will not appear in its final season. Tardy claims Lionsgate did not pay him and was discriminatory towards non-white actors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian%20Citation%20Index | Serbian Citation Index (; SCIndeks) is a combination of an online multidisciplinary bibliographic database, a national citation index, an Open Access full-text journal repository and an electronic publishing platform. It is produced and maintained by the Centre for Evaluation in Education and Science (CEON/CEES), based in Belgrade, Serbia. In July 2017, it indexed 230 Serbian scholarly journals in all areas of science and contained more than 80,000 bibliographic records and more than one million bibliographic references.
SCIndeks operates as a DOI registration agency and an OAI-PMH data provider. It is also an OpenAIRE data provider. Serbian Citation Index is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Features
While the content of SCIndeks is freely available to users, the publishers of the indexed journals subscribe to one of four service packages that provide various levels of content indexing and quality control: from basic bibliographic data (no full text) to full-text availability, DOI assignment, bibliometric evaluation, journal management support and plagiarism detection.
The core of SCIndeks is a searchable bibliographic database that also contains citation information. It relies on a full text repository (SCIndeks Repository). The repository and journal profiles are maintained through the Editor Service, a back-end platform for journal editors. Publishers may also subscribe to SCIndeks Assistant, a journal management system based on Open Journal Systems and enriched with a number of in-house developed services, tools and protocols that enable the normalization of names, affiliations and funding information; automated parsing and formatting of references; matching of references and citations; keywords assignment, etc. SCIndeks Assistant also enables plagiarism detection through CrossRef Similarity Check, using iThenticate.
Bibliometric data contained in SCindeks are used to generate cumulative annual reports on the performance of the indexed journals – Journal Bibliometric Report, which tracks more than 20 quantitative and qualitative indicators.
SCindeks offers a number of functionalities to registered users, e.g. customized search and saved search alerts.
Background and history
The development of SCIndeks was preceded by two projects: SocioFakt Online (a citation database for social sciences, established in 2001) and SocioFakt Open Access (a fully searchable and harvestable full-text journal repository, established in 2004). Both databases were developed by the CEON/CEES. SCIndeks draws on both projects but it covers all areas of science.
From the outset, SCIndeks was used as the source of information for the evaluation of locally published journals, i.e. the Journal Bibliometric Report, a local counterpart of the Journal Citation Reports.
SCIndeks was originally funded by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia, which means that indexing and bibliometric analyses were free for journals. Under this model |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter%20Callas | Peter Callas is an Australian artist, curator and writer, particularly known for his pioneering video art using computer graphics made with the Fairlight CVI (Computer Video Instrument).
Biography
After completing a B.A. at University of Sydney majoring in Fine Arts and Ancient History, Callas worked as an assistant film editor in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Callas then studied at Sydney College of the Arts majoring in Printmaking and Sculpture and began making video artworks using performance and image processing, after attending a workshop by Douglas Davis and also seeing the work of Peter Campus for the first time. Callas completed Singing Stone then Our Potential Allies in 1980, based on a book of the same name issued to US troop in Papua New Guinea during WW2. The work won an award in Kobe which allowed Callas to travel to Japan for the first time. He completed a number or artist residencies in Japan and the USA in the 1980s including at the Marui Koendori Television/Ring World studio in the Marui Department Store, Tokyo. During 1994-1995 he was artist-in-residence at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe.
Key works by Callas include If Pigs Could Fly (The Media Machine) (1987), Night's High Noon: An Anti-Terrain (1988) with music by SPK, the installation Men of Vision: Lenin + Marat (1992), Neo Geo: An American Purchase (1990) with music by Stephen Vitiello and Lost in Translation (1994–99).
He has curated a number of video programs including An Eccentric Orbit: Video Art in Australia 1980 - 1994 which included works by Callas, Philip Brophy, Destiny Deacon, John Gillies, Jill Scott and Bill Seaman, and was shown at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and 15 venues in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. The programme was divided into three sections: 'The Body Electric', responses to physical and psychological entrapment, and the release from that entrapment through dreams, technology and the imagination; 'Any Resemblance to Reality is Purely Deliberate', 'magical’ construction and deconstruction in or through computer culture; and 'The Diminished Paradise', examining ideas of place and placelessness.
A retrospective of his work, Peter Callas: Initialising History was presented at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1999. Screening retrospectives of his video works have been held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne; the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; and the Berlin Film Festival. The retrospective, Peter Callas: The Invisible Histories of the Present, at Millenáris Park, Budapest, 2006, was held across two galleries and showed 20 moving images works simultaneously along with a comprehensive collection of his prints. His videos have also been screened on television stations including BBC2, London; Canal +, Paris; SAT.1, Cologne; WGBH-TV, Boston; NHK Satellite, Tokyo; Televisión Española, Madrid; and the ARS TV NETWORK, European Satellite TV Channel, Rome.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BANCR | BRAF-activated non-protein coding RNA is a noncoding RNA that in humans is encoded by the BANCR gene.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the intricate network of cancer and contribute significantly to tumorigenesis and progression. BRAF activated non-coding RNA (BANCR), a 693-bp four-exon transcript, was first identified in 2012 as an oncogenic long non-coding RNA in BRAFV600E melanomas cells and was found to be associated with melanoma cell migration. Apart from melanoma, growing evidence has implicated BANCR in the development and progression of a variety of other human malignancies, including retinoblastoma, lung cancer, and gastric cancer, since its discovery. The pattern of expression of BANCR varies according to the kind of cancer, acting as either a tumour suppressor or an accelerator. Functional BANCR may be a useful biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis assessment. BANCR-targeted therapy may also prove to be a promising new treatment option for human cancers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilspot%20and%20Lipstick | Oilspot and Lipstick is a 1987 computer-animated short film from Walt Disney Productions directed by Michael Cedeno. The short was released on June 28, 1987.
Synopsis
An old, broken-down car sits on a mountain. Out of the trunk of this car comes a robot dog with glasses whose body was made, among other things, of cubes. The dog wakes up his partner, another robot dog, who has a high-heeled shoe and a pair of scissors for a head. After touching a mountain of rubbish, a giant robot wakes up, chases the dogs and grabs the female dog with one hand to eat her. The robot dog throws his spanner at the giant robot's head. The wrench causes the robot to fall to the ground. Thus, the female robot falls into the suitcase of the car.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative%20accuracy%20profile | A cumulative accuracy profile (CAP) is a concept utilized in data science to visualize discrimination power. The CAP of a model represents the cumulative number of positive outcomes along the y-axis versus the corresponding cumulative number of a classifying parameter along the x-axis. The output is called a CAP curve. The CAP is distinct from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which plots the true-positive rate against the false-positive rate.
CAPs are used in robustness evaluations of classification models.
Analyzing a CAP
A cumulative accuracy profile can be used to evaluate a model by comparing the current curve to both the 'perfect' and a randomized curve. A good model will have a CAP between the perfect and random curves; the closer a model is to the perfect CAP, the better is.
The accuracy ratio (AR) is defined as the ratio of the area between the model CAP and random CAP, and the area between the perfect CAP and random CAP. In a successful model, the AR has values between zero and one, and the higher the value is, the stronger the model.
The cumulative number of positive outcomes indicates a model's strength. For a successful model, this value should lie between 50% and 100% of the maximum, with a higher percentage for stronger models. In sporadic cases, the accuracy ratio can be negative. In this case, the model is performing worse than the random CAP.
Applications
The cumulative accuracy profile (CAP) and ROC curve are both commonly used by banks and regulators to analyze the discriminatory ability of rating systems that evaluate credit risks. The CAP is also used by instructional design engineers to assess, retrain and rebuild instructional design models used in constructing courses, and by professors and school authorities for improved decision-making and managing educational resources more efficiently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awash%E2%80%93Weldiya%20Railway | The Awash–Weldiya Railway is a standard gauge railway under construction, that will serve as a northward extension of the new Ethiopian National Railway Network.
The railroad's primary purpose is to connect the north of Ethiopia with the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway at the Awash junction and therefore connecting it with the world economy through the Port of Djibouti and also with the southern parts of Ethiopia with its capital, Addis Ababa.
The 392 km Awash–Weldiya Railway clearly is of strategic significance. It connects the whole north of Ethiopia with almost one-third of the Ethiopian population with the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway and with Ethiopia's lifeline, the port of Djibouti. Also, several large cities of Amhara Region are directly served by the Railway and the railway will connect Ethiopian industrial centers like Kombolcha with the world.
Route and description
The railway bypasses the up to 1200 metres deep Blue Nile canyon to the west of the railway, a canyon, which is a major blocking feature for travel between northern Ethiopia and southern Ethiopia. It also runs parallel to the densely populated eastern escarpment of the northwestern Ethiopian Highlands, as a gate to several tangential areas further west, such as Lake Tana and cities like Gondar.
The single-track railway starts at Awash at the Awash River, the main river in the Afar Triangle area of the Great Rift Valley. The route runs in the NNW-direction. The Awash station is at the junction with the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway. The station is only the second in Ethiopia to have two platforms for passenger trains (the other one is the main Furi-Labu railway station in Addis Ababa). It then runs through low-lying areas and then along irrigated plantations at the Awash River in Amibara woreda, the lowest elevation point of the railway (700 metres) has been reached. It then runs for 80 km through semi-arid, hilly and almost unpopulated areas, no railway station is foreseen here. After arriving at the eastern escarpment of the western Ethiopian Highlands, a second major railway station along the railway is reached, also with two platforms for passenger trains. This is Shewa Robit, a town at 1300 metres elevation, which is one of the gates to the Highlands. Up the road from here is the major city of Debre Berhan at an elevation of 2800 metres, a few dozen km to the southwest. Shewa Robit serves as the entry point for Debre Berhan and other destinations to the west and the middle section of the Awash valley to its east.
After Shewa Robit, the railway runs north through the rugged landscape that makes up the eastern escarpment of the Highlands of Ethiopia. The sections between Shewa Robit and Weldiya see lots of tunnels and bridges because of that. This escarpment has mostly originated from normal faulting along a dip-slip fault line as a result of plate tectonics in the Horn of Africa and in the Afar Triangle. It is a seismically highly active region with active faults, that |

The 8750 was the European version of the IBM 9751, also a ROLM design.
In 1984, IBM bought the American company ROLM. In 1987 IBM started to market the ROLM-derived IBM 8750 in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, and the UK. Principally for homologation, a few had been installed in IBM locations, such as IBM Havant in England – however none were installed in customer locations.
The 8750 had from 91 to 3000 telephone extensions; up to 1000 simultaneous conversations; a computer based on a Motorola 68020; up to 16 IBM 8755 Operator Consoles; a 30MB fixed disk; main/satellite working with IBM 3750 and 1750 Switching Systems; digital trunks in Belgium, Italy and the UK; and ISDN and Systems Network Architecture (SNA) networks.
IBM later sold ROLM to Siemens who then continued to market the 8750.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroTCA | MicroTCA (short for Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture, also: μTCA) is a modular, open standard, created and maintained by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG). It provides the electrical, mechanical, thermal and management specifications to create a switched fabric computer system, using Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMC), connected directly to a backplane. MicroTCA is a descendant of the AdvancedTCA standard.
History
The rapid expansion of mobile telecommunications and their associated services (such as text messages) at the beginning of the millennium increased the demand of processing power in telecommunication systems. The existing "carrier grade" (see RAS) computing architectures where not fit to house the high performance processors of the time. In order to answer those demands, about 100 companies worked together in PICMG, resulting in the Advanced Telecommunications Architecture (AdvancedTCA, ATCA), published in 2002.
After the introduction of AdvancedTCA, a standard was developed, to cater towards smaller telecommunications systems at the edge of the network. This standard was geared towards a more compact, less expensive systems, without cutting back on reliability or data throughput. This standard, called MicroTCA, was ratified 2006.
MicroTCA systems migrated after its release into non-telecommunication sectors, like defence, avionics and science. This resulted in extensions to the base-standard, called modules.
Modules
MicroTCA.0
The base-specification for properties common to all other modules, ratified July 6, 2006. This includes:
Mechanical specifications, like possible dimensions of card cages, backplanes and supported AMC-modules
Electrical specifications, like power distribution and interface layout
Thermal specifications, like possible cooling layouts or available cooling power
Management specifications
A second revision of the base-specifications was ratified January 16, 2020, containing some corrections, as well as alterations, necessary to implement higher speed Ethernet fabrics, like 10GBASE-KR and 40GBASE-KR4.
MicroTCA.1
This module adds specifications for ruggedized systems, using forced air for cooling. Possible scenarios for MicroTCA.1-based systems include outside plant telecom, industrial and aerospace environments
MicroTCA.2
This module adds specifications for more stringent requirements with regards to temperature, shock, vibration and other environmental conditions. These specifications are geared towards use in outside plant telecom, machine and transport industry, as well as military airborne, shipboard and ground mobile equipment. MicroTCA.2 allows the use of air- and conduction-cooled AMC-modules.
MicroTCA.3
This module adds specifications for even more stringent requirements with regards to temperature, shock, vibration and other environmental conditions. These specifications are geared towards use in outside plant telecom, machine and transport industry, as well as mi |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weldiya%E2%80%93Mekelle%20Railway | The Weldiya–Mekelle Railway is a standard gauge railway under construction, that will serve as a northward extension of the new Ethiopian National Railway Network and connects Mekelle to Addis Ababa and Djibouti via the Awash-Weldiya railway.
Route and description
The 216 km long single-track railway starts behind Weldiya at the junction with the Awash–Weldiya Railway. Only three railway stations are major ones, one at Meisha, one at Kobo and one at Mekelle. For the first 40 km after Weldiya, the railway runs through rugged terrain at the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian Highland at an elevation between 1400 and 1830 meters. After 50 km, behind Kobo, the railway enters, for the next ~70 km, a flat sedimentary basin with almost no hills and no prominent landscape features. The elevation difference is only 190 meters. The Alamata and Mehoni railway stations are here, serving a few towns.
After 115 km, a hilly and deserted landscape appears that leads to Meisha station in the Megale woreda. Megale is a woreda of Afar region, few persons are living here. Nevertheless, Meisha railway station is possibly the most interesting along the route, as the station (which is almost at the lowest point of the entire railway, at 1,235 meters) provides relatively easy access to the Danakil depression, one of the hottest places on earth with several well-known volcanoes like Erta Ale and other tourist destinations. Meisha station also offers access to Abala (or Shiket), one of the Afar capital towns. Behind Meisha, the railway is running across sandy alluvial fans for the next 18 km before it makes a turn to the northwest and an elevation jump of 920 meters, from 1360 m to 2280 m elevation in just 40 km. The railway has an almost constant slope of 2.5% here - over 35 km - with many tunnels (up to 3,662 meters long) and bridges - and also with the passing loop station of Adi Gudem in the middle. After 202 km, the railway reaches the flat Ethiopian highland and reaches its terminus at Mekelle Airport after 216 km, east of Mekelle. Shortly before, a branch line will connect a dry port near Mekelle city with the railway line.
Railway characteristics
The railway was based in many aspects on the railway characteristics pre-defined by the Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway to keep the railways interoperable. However, a few things (like the maximum slope) were adapted to the special conditions in the mountainous area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarahah | Sarahah () is a Saudi Arabian social networking service for providing constructive feedback. In Arabic, sarahah means "frankness" or "honesty". It was created by Zain-Alabdin Tawfiq at the end of 2016 and reached a sudden worldwide success by mid-2017. This growth is considered to be deeply related with the release of a Snapchat update that allowed people to share URLs on their snaps.
Sarahah allowed people to text messages to others and the person reading that could then reply anonymously. Initially, it was meant for workers to compliment their bosses.
It was released on the US Apple App Store on 13 June 2017, and also had users in several other countries including Canada, India, and Lebanon. An update was released by Snapchat on July 5. Within two weeks, it was at the number 1 position. The rise was also seen in a Google Trends report.
On 26 August 2017, it was reported that the Sarahah mobile app quietly uploads the user's address book to its web servers.
Spam was frequent, sent by third-party apps claiming to be able to reveal the usernames of anonymous senders.
On 12 January 2018, it was reported that a woman in Queensland, Australia had started a petition to have the app and others like it banned, after friends of her 13-year-old daughter sent her abusive messages, including ones suggesting that she kill herself. A news report from the Australian Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) stated that the child's mother, Katrina, "called on Apple's App Store and Google Play to stop downloads of Sarahah, which allows people to leave anonymous feedback for each other". On 21 February, Katrina posted a message declaring success, saying that both Apple and Google had removed the app from their stores.
On 15 December 2021, Zain-Alabdin Tawfiq announced via Twitter:
This was retweeted by Sarahah's Twitter account.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHCM | WHCM (88.3 FM) is a student-run campus radio station at William Rainey Harper College in Palatine, Illinois. WHCM offers freeform music, news, talk and public affairs programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. WHCM is part of the college's Division of Liberal Arts and Department of Communication Arts.
History
After seven years, the Harper College application for a new FM station in Palatine was approved by the FCC on November 6, 2000, with a license to cover filed in December 2002. The station, however, had broadcast on campus prior to going on air. WHCM was to share time with Arlington Heights-licensed WCLR, originally to be owned by the Church of Christian Liberty but sold to the Educational Media Foundation before going on air. WHCM operated Monday through Thursday during the school year, with WCLR allotted Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and full-time during school breaks.
In March 1998, while the station was only broadcast to the student lounge and cafeteria, it was shut down for a week by a staff administrator for "music choices, volume control, and 'lewd' comments by disc jockeys." It began broadcasting again on March 25, after students agreed to adopt a new contract, and to keep their office neat.
On May 17, 2017, EMF and Harper College reached an agreement in 2017 by which EMF would surrender the license for WCLR to allow WHCM to go full-time on 88.3 MHz. Harper College paid $13,600, representing EMF's outstanding obligation on the WCLR tower lease, and up to $5,000 in EMF's legal fees. WHCM went full-time on June 29, 2017.
On October 1, 2019, WHCM added a Radio Data System (RDS) to identify song and artist, and upgraded their streaming encoder to improve sound quality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation%20and%20Bombing%20System | The Navigation and Bombing System, or NBS, was a navigation system used in the Royal Air Force's V-bomber fleet. Primary among its parts was the Navigation and Bombing Computer (NBC), a complex electromechanical computer that combined the functions of dead reckoning navigation calculation with a bombsight calculator to provide outputs that guided the aircraft and automatically dropped the bombs with accuracy on the order of a few hundred metres on missions over thousands of kilometres.
Inputs to the NBS system included late models of the H2S radar, the True Airspeed Unit, a gyrocompass and the Green Satin radar. A Mk 6 radar altimeter was used for accurate height measurement but was not connected to the NBC. These inputs were used to set the Ground Speed Unit, which carried out the navigation calculations, which in turn fed the autopilot system. The NBC did not feed the T4 bombsight computer for visual sighting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake%20Worth%20Playhouse | The Lake Worth Playhouse, located at 713 Lake Avenue in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, is a venue offering a variety of mainstream and alternative programming, both live and, in its Stonzek Theatre, on film. Built by the brothers Clarence and Lucien Oakley, it opened its doors as the Oakley Theatre in 1924, showing silent movies. It had a Wurlitzer pipe organ, lost in the hurricane of 1928, which virtually demolished the theatre, including its Moorish Deco front. It was rebuilt in a Streamline Moderne style, one of the oldest surviving examples of this architectural style, and reopened in 1929, adding its neon sign, which may be the oldest still in use in the United States in its original location. The theatre changed hands and names several times, and became deteriorated; as the Playtoy, in 1969, it presented the Palm Beach County premiere of Deep Throat. In 1975 the Lake Worth Playhouse (incorporated 1953) purchased the theatre and carried out extensive renovations. It is the oldest surviving Art Deco building in Palm Beach County. It is the host of the annual L-DUB Film Festival.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel%20Panthers%20%28video%20game%29 | Steel Panthers is a 1995 computer wargame developed and published by Strategic Simulations. Designed by Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors, it simulates ground warfare during World War II, across the Western Front, Eastern Front and Pacific Theatre.
Steel Panthers was critically acclaimed and became a commercial hit, with sales above 130,000 units. Magazines such as Computer Gaming World and PC Gamer UK named it one of the greatest games of all time. It began the successful Steel Panthers series, and was followed by Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles and Steel Panthers III. In 2000, Matrix Games published an updated re-release of Steel Panthers entitled Steel Panthers: World at War.
Gameplay
Players control individual tanks and vehicles from a top-down perspective, on a map with a hexagonal overlay. Infantry are mostly in squad/section sized units (8-12 men), but some units, like snipers, can be controlled individually. The whole force under a player's control is typically Battalion sized, but may be as small as a Platoon or Company, or as large as a Regiment/Brigade.
The game is turn-based and played against the AI or other humans via email or hotseat.
As with other tactical turn-based wargames, the game features realistic military control, with the smallest common units being squads, up to a brigade sized force. The player controls every available facet, from simple ammunition usage, to the morale, disposition, and command-chain of his troops.
The game features: packed single-battle scenarios and campaigns (either branched or linear), single battle generator, campaign generator, and long campaign generator.
Development
Steel Panthers began production in May 1994, designed by Gary Grigsby for Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI). According to Terry Coleman of Computer Gaming World, Grigsby conceived the game as a way to revisit and update his earlier wargame designs, particularly Kampfgruppe and Panzer Strike. In 1992, Grigsby had publicly discussed his plan to make another tactical wargame "similar in scope to Panzer Strike", which dealt with ground-based conflicts in Europe during World War II. He told Electronic Games at the time that he was "waiting on a new graphics system from SSI" before he began.
Coleman noted that Steel Panthers creation was marked by "a considerable amount of tension". The success of SSI's Panzer General led the company to encourage Grigsby to simplify his design to reach a larger audience, while Grigsby "refused to compromise his standards of realism and detail".
Reception
Steel Panthers was commercially successful. In 1996, Alex Dunne of Game Developer Magazine wrote that it had "been one of SSI's most popular games since it was released last September". Sales by that time had reached 85,000 units; they eventually surpassed 130,000 units. It was the biggest hit of Grigsby's career at the time, and Computer Games Magazine later dubbed it one of the most successful computer wargames ever. Steel Panthers was named the bes |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philco%20computers | Philco was one of the pioneers of transistorized computers. After the company developed the surface barrier transistor, which was much faster than previous point-contact types, it was awarded contracts for military and government computers. Commercialized derivatives of some of these designs became successful business and scientific computers. The TRANSAC (Transistor Automatic Computer) Model S-1000 was released as a scientific computer. The TRANSAC S-2000 mainframe computer system was first produced in 1958, and a family of compatible machines, with increasing performance, was released over the next several years.
However, the mainframe computer market was dominated by IBM. Other companies could not deploy resources for development, customer support and marketing on the scale that IBM could afford, making competition in this segment difficult after the introduction of the IBM 360 family. Philco went bankrupt and was purchased in 1961 by Ford Motor Company, but the computer division carried on until the Philco division of Ford exited the computer business in 1963. The Ford company maintained one Philco mainframe in use until 1981.
The surface-barrier transistor
The surface-barrier transistor developed by Philco in 1953 had a much higher frequency response than the original point-contact transistors. The transistor was made of a thin crystal of germanium, which was electrolytically etched with pits on either side forming a very thin base region, on the order of 5 micrometers. Philco's process for etching was United States patent number 2,885,571. Philco surface-barrier transistors were used in TX-0, and in early models of what would become the DEC PDP product line. Although relatively fast, the small size of the devices limited their power to circuits operating at a few tens of milliwatts.
Military and government
Between 1955 and 1957, Philco built transistor computers for use in aircraft, models C-1000, C-1100, and C-1102, intended for airborne real-time applications. By 1957, the C-1102 had been used by a civilian sector customer.
The BASICPAC AN/TYK 6V (first delivery in 1961), COMPAC AN/TYK 4V (not completed), and LOGICPAC systems were built for the US Army as transportable computer systems for use with their Fieldata concept of integrated information management.
BASICPAC was a transistorized computer with up to 28,672 words of 38-bit core memory (including sign and parity), available in several configurations from a minimum system, to a truck-borne mobile version, to a fully expanded system. Basic clock periods was 1 microsecond (which gives a clock rate of 1 MHz), with 12 microsecond memory access and a fixed-point multiplication taking 242 microseconds. Input/output was by paper tape reader and punch, or through a teletypewriter. With additional hardware, magnetic tape storage was also available, with up to seven I/O devices. The instruction set had 31 basic operation codes and nine opcodes for I/O

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterAmerican%20Network%20of%20Academies%20of%20Sciences | The InterAmerican Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS) is a regional network made up of National Academy of Sciences from the nations in the Americas. It was founded in 2004 as an organization utilizing science diplomacy to "build scientific and technological capacities and strengthen relationships among the countries of the Americas as a tool for societal development." The creation of the organization was in part inspired by the InterAcademy Panel (IAP), to function as a regional network in the manner of the Network of African Science Academies (previously founded with help from the IAP). Support also came from the Organization of American States and the Inter-American Development Bank for the creation of IANAS. The IAP continues to be its principal source of financial support. Current co-chairs are Helena B. Nader, President of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and Karen B. Strier, member of the U.S National Academy of Sciences.
Mission
The purpose of the network is to connect and develop the scientific community and institutions in each country, and thus to contribute to sustainable development and help build research capacity . Its main objectives are:
1. "To help improve national scientific capacities, especially as a tool for societal development. This is to be accomplished by strengthening relationships in science and technology among the countries of the Americas.
2. To assist member Academies in building their internal capacity, by creating a forum for the exchange of information and experience.
3. To promote the creation of new Academies in interested countries of the Americas.
4. To contribute to the scientific decision-making processes in the Americas, "with the goal of promoting prosperity and equity in the hemisphere."
Programs
IANAS organizes its efforts through programs focused on six key issues : Water, Energy, Science Education, Women for Science, Capacity Building, and Food Security. Each program has a leadership team, and carries out its own activities . Generally each program collects experts from different countries to prepare documents for policy makers in the Americas, often in collaboration with organizations such as UNESCO and the IAP The Network also conducts multi-national surveys, for instance to assist in a study investigating the presence of women in national academies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannes-Torcy%20cell | The "Cannes-Torcy cell" was a jihadist network in France uncovered in 2012. Eighteen members of the cell were sentenced from one to 28 years in prison in 2017.
Jewish grocery store attack
Two members of the cell were first arrested after a grenade attack against a Jewish grocery store in Sarcelles in September 2012 that injured one person. Police later found bomb-making equipment in a storage unit rented by Jeremie Bailly, the alleged leader of the group. Another of the suspects, Muslim convert Jérémie Louis-Sidney, was killed in a police shootout on 6 October 2012 while resisting arrest. Three days after the shootout, police found "bags of potassium nitrate, sulfur, saltpeter, headlight bulbs and a pressure cooker" belonging to Louis-Sidney in an underground car park in Torcy, a suburb east of Paris.
According to French officials, two other alleged members of the cell, French-Algerian Ibrahim Boudina and French-Tunisian Abdelkader Tliba, were found to have set off for Syria just days after the attack. According to the officials, after first having joined the Al-Nusra Front, they later joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Having returned from Syria, Boudina was arrested on 11 February 2014 in Mandelieu-la-Napoule near Cannes. Police thereafter found "a handgun, bomb-making instructions, and three soda cans filled with the high-explosive compound TATP" in a storage closet belonging to Boudina.
Trial
Twenty members of the network were tried by a special anti-terror tribunal in Paris in 2017. Of the twenty, ten were in prison, seven on conditional release, and three others at large, with two thought to be in Syria. The cell was accused of plotting attacks against both military and civilian targets, and of seeking to join jihadists in Syria. During the trial, the cell was described as "the missing link" between Mohammed Merah, the perpetrator of the March 2012 Toulouse and Montauban shootings, and the Brussels ISIL terror cell responsible for the November 2015 Paris attacks.
The court noted the diverse backgrounds of the twenty accusees, some being from affluent families and originating in Algeria, Laos and France.
In June 2017, eighteen members of the cell were sentenced from one to 28 years in prison, while two were acquitted. The longest sentence was given to Jeremy Bailly, who was found guilty of throwing the grenade against the Jewish grocery store. The driver of the grenade attack received an 18 year prison sentence. Some others were convicted for assisting in the attack, while others were convicted for travelling to join jihadists in Syria. Among the latter was Ibrahim Boudina, who was also accused of "returning to commit an attack" on the Cote d'Azur. Abdelkader Tliba was tried in absentia, as he was still thought to be in Syria and to "have risen within the ranks of the Islamic State group."
Seven of the convicted had connections to the Torcy mosque which was closed on 11 April 2017 for inciting jihadism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acea%20%28company%29 | Acea Spa (originally an acronym for Azienda Comunale Elettricità e Acque—Electricity and Water Municipal Utility) is a multiutility operative in the management and development of networks and services in the water, energy and environmental sectors. Originally the city of Rome's provider, the Acea group is the main national operator in the water sector with a catchment area of about 9 million people, and manages integrated water services—aqueduct, sewerage and purification—that span the territories of Rome and Frosinone, as well as their respective provinces. Acea is also present in the regions of Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, Molise and Campania, is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange and is part of the FTSE Italia Mid Cap index.
History
Rome’s Municipal Electric company, better known by its Italian acronym AEM (for "Azienda Elettrica Municipale"), was founded in 1909 to provide public and private street lighting. In 1912, AEM opened the Centrale Montemartini, its first thermoelectric power plant through which AEM started selling electricity in Rome.
In 1937, the governor of Rome entrusted the company with building and managing of aqueducts as well as the water distribution network for the city. With the newfound responsibilities, AEM changed its name to AGEA (an acronym for "Azienda Governatoriale Elettricità e Acque", Italian for "Government Electricity and Water Company") before changing it again to its current name Acea in 1945. At the end of World War II, the Centrale Montemartini was the only available power plant still operational because it coincidentally escaped the bombings.
In 1953, the Municipal Council of Rome approved Acea’s plan for self-sufficiency in electricity with the aim of improving the city's water system. For the Rome Olympics in 1960, Acea also took responsibility for the city’s public lighting systems.
In 1964, Acea gained control of Rome’s entire water network on the expiry of the concession to Acqua Pia Antica Marcia for the management of the Marcio Aqueduct.
In 1976, Acea’s plan for hydro-sanitary and street lighting refurbishment was approved within the framework of the redevelopment policy of Rome’s suburbs launched by the Rome Municipality. In 1979, the Peschiera-Capore aqueduct system was completed, which continues to be Rome's main water source.
It was in 1985 that the company completed the management of the water cycle by taking on purification services.
In 1989, Acea changed its name from “Azienda Comunale Elettricità” (Municipal Electricity and Water Agency) to “Azienda Comunale dell’Energia e dell’Ambiente” (Municipal Agency of Energy and the Environment).
In the nineteen eighties and nineties, the Tor di Valle cogeneration plant began operation (in 1984, converted later to combined cycle from 1996) and the EUR water centre was inaugurated (1993).
In 1992, Acea became a Special Agency and, from the first of January, 1998, a Joint Stock Company (Acea S.p.A.) which, with Chief Executive Officer Paolo Cuccia a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Panel%20of%20Parliamentarians%20for%20Freedom%20of%20Religion%20or%20Belief | The International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief (IPPFoRB) is a network of parliamentarians from around the world committed to combating religious persecution and advancing freedom of religion or belief, as defined by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
History
IPPFoRB was established on 8 November 2014 with the signing of the Oslo Charter for Freedom of Religion or Belief at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo.
The first steering committee of the IPPFoRB was composed of Baroness Elizabeth Berridge (UK House of Lords), David Anderson (House of Commons of Canada), Abid Raja (Parliament of Norway), Aykan Erdemir (Grand National Assembly of Turkey), Leonardo Quintao (National Congress of Brazil).
Activities
In September 2015, IPPFoRB convened 100 parliamentarians from 50 countries in New York, alongside the United Nations General Assembly, and issued the New York Resolution for Freedom of Religion or Belief to "enhance global cooperation by working across geographical, political, and religious lines." At the New York meeting, IPPFoRB founder Aykan Erdemir stated that this global network is "idea for which the time is right," adding that people advocating rights should be as "outspoken, organised and transnational" as the violent extremists.
In September 2016, IPPFoRB assembled 100 parliamentarians from 60 countries in Berlin with the attendance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Since its inception, IPPFoRB parliamentarians have written advocacy letters to heads of state of Burma, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan, and Vietnam.
IPPFoRB steering committee members have received awards in recognition of their efforts: Aykan Erdemir was awarded the Stefanus Prize by the Stefanus Alliance International in 2015 while Baroness Elizabeth Berridge is the recipient of the 2017 International Religious Liberty Award of the International Center for Law and Religion Studies and Abid Raja was named the 2018 recipient of the International Religious Liberty Association's International Award for Outstanding Leadership in Religious Freedom Advocacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words%20and%20Music%20%28Canadian%20game%20show%29 | Words and Music is a Canadian television game show that aired over the CTV network during the 1966–1967 season. The show was created by bandleader Sammy Kaye and hosted by American television personality Jim Perry, who later went on to host Card Sharks and Sale of the Century in the 1970s and 1980s. The show was produced from the studios of CFCF-TV in Montreal and Perry regularly commuted from his home in New York to host the show.
Gameplay
The object of the game was for contestants to guess a mystery subject which was the name of a person, place, or thing through a series of musical clues. The show's organist played a medley of three songs, all of which shared a common word in their title. For example, the medley of songs might be Blue Moon, Blue Skies, and Blue Moon of Kentucky so the common word is blue. Once a contestant guessed the correct word, it was placed in a crossword puzzle on the game board. Another set of three songs was played and game play continued in the same manner with each new clue word placed on the crossword puzzle as it was guessed. All of the crossword puzzle words served as clues to the mystery subject. The first contestant to identify the subject won the game.
Broadcast
Words and Music aired Monday-Friday from 3:00-3:30 PM over the CTV network and was host Jim Perry's second television game show. Perry called Words and Music "a very static show" and that it was probably too complex of a game for most viewers to follow. The show was cancelled after only one season. Perry then moved over to host his first American game show It's Your Move which aired in syndication during 1967.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zieria%20obcordata | Zieria obcordata, commonly known as obcordate-leafed zieria, is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and endemic to New South Wales. It is an aromatic, densely branched, rounded shrub with small, hairy, three-part leaves and up to three white to pale pink flowers with four petals and four stamens arranged in the leaf axils. It occurs in two disjunct populations in the central-west of the state.
Description
Zieria obcordata is an aromatic, densely-branched, rounded shrub which grows to a height of and has hairy branches when young. The leaves are composed of three wedge-shaped to heart-shaped leaflets with the narrower end towards the base. The leaves have a petiole long and the central leaflet is long and wide. The upper surface of the leaflets is slightly warty and both surfaces are covered with simple hairs. The flowers are white to pale pink and are arranged singly or in groups of up to three in leaf axils, the groups shorter than the leaves. The sepals are triangular, about long and wide and hairy. The four petals are about long and sometimes hairy. Flowering occurs mainly in September and October and is followed in summer by fruit which are warty, hairy capsules.
Taxonomy and naming
Zieria obcordata was first formally described in 1825 by Allan Cunningham and the description was published in Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales. The specific epithet (obcordata) is derived from the Latin word cordata meaning "heart-shaped" with the prefix ob- meaning "towards".
Distribution and habitat
This zieria grows in open shrubby woodland and on rocky hillsides in two disjunct populations near Wellington and near Bathurst. It often occurs with rough-barked angophora (Angophora floribunda) and hickory wattle (Acacia implexa) and weeping boree (Acacia vestita).
Conservation
Obcordate-leafed zieria is classified as "endangered" under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act and the Commonwealth Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC) Act. The main threats to the species are weed invasion, inappropriate fire regimes, grazing and land clearing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In%20a%20Heartbeat%20%28film%29 | In a Heartbeat is a 2017 computer-animated short film produced by Ringling College of Art and Design. Written and directed by Esteban Bravo and Beth David, the project was funded through Kickstarter, raising $14,191 from 416 backers on a goal of $3,000. The short film concerns a closeted gay boy, Sherwin, who has a crush on another boy named Jonathan and his heart desires to be with him. The short received wide praise on various platforms and was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
Plot
Sherwin, a shy ginger haired boy, arrives at school awaiting the arrival of his secret crush, Jonathan. Sherwin hides in a tree and watches as Jonathan walks by reading a book and playing with an apple. Suddenly, Sherwin's heart begins to beat rapidly and becomes anthropomorphic, leaving his body and chasing after Jonathan. Sherwin attempts to grab and hide his heart, resulting in various awkward encounters with Jonathan. Eventually, Sherwin chases his heart inside the school and grabs it. Then the heart grabs Jonathan's finger. The situation becomes uncomfortable as other students see the two and look on in confusion. The heart breaks in two and Sherwin runs away with one half. Outside the school, Sherwin cries silently when Jonathan walks up and sits next to him. They hold their hands together as they join the heart back together and it happily springs to life. The scene fades to black with Sherwin and Jonathan's hearts glowing and then forming into one.
Production
Production on the short started in January 2016, when Esteban Bravo and Beth David began working on their senior thesis at Ringling College of Art and Design. The initial pitch featured a boy and a girl, but at the last minute they decided to switch it to a same-sex couple in order to make the story feel "more personal". They made a Kickstarter page in November 2016 to complete the film and earned more than enough of the requested amount. A trailer was released on May 17, 2017 and the short film was released on July 31, 2017.
Reception
The short film received overwhelmingly universal praise for its animation, positive message and emotional resonance. The short film blew up on YouTube, with an estimated 42 million views, and has been passed on through Facebook and Twitter. Reaction videos were posted by Fine Brothers Entertainment, Ellen DeGeneres and Connor Franta. It was later named 9 on YouTube's list of the top 10 trending videos of 2017.
Awards
Since its launch, the film has received numerous awards and has been shown at numerous LGBT events and film festivals. It got shortlisted at the Academy Awards for Best Animated Short Film, but did not get a nomination. The short was also included in The Animation Showcase 2017 world touring screening that premiered it in London 25 July 2017 in Soho House.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer%20Science%20Undergraduate%20Association | The Computer Science Undergraduate Association (UC Berkeley CSUA, or CSUA) is an ASUC funded group at University of California, Berkeley, first founded in 1972. The CSUA's constitution reads:The purposes of this organization are: to represent the undergraduate computer science student body in dealings with the University of California at Berkeley, its representatives, and any other appropriate organization; to provide a forum for the personal interaction of persons involved in the computer sciences; to promote knowledge of and interest in the computer sciences; and to raise funds to accomplish these goals.The CSUA is an all-volunteer, student-run, student-initiated service group established to support the undergraduate computer science body of the University of California, Berkeley. The CSUA Office is located in 311 Soda Hall in front of the 3rd floor entrance to Soda Hall, at the corner of Hearst & LeRoy. It also maintains a study lounge at 341 Soda Hall. The CSUA provides computing resources, support, and community to the Berkeley campus community, hosting tech talks, hackathons, info sessions, CS workshops, LAN parties, and the biannual Startup Fair.
History
The CSUA was first ASUC sponsored in the 1972–1973 academic year.
The CSUA shares a great deal of history with the EXperimental Computing Facility (XCF).
The CSUA was instrumental for the creation of Cowsay. In the words of author Tony Monroe, Cows have been a big part of the history and culture of the Computer Science Undergraduate Association at the University of California at Berkeley. The cows traditionally seen there before I joined the organization were very limited in what they could say and do. I wrote cowsay in an effort to remove some of those limitations.The CSUA used to be located in Evans Hall, before moving into Soda Hall shortly after Soda's construction. It occupied 343 Soda, then moved to 311 Soda.
The CSUA's main RAID failed sometime before Fall of 2016, causing the loss of decades of historical user data.
Organizational structure
As of 2020, the CSUA consists of three groups, in order of ascending responsibilities: members, officers, and members of the Politburo.
The CSUA is led by a seven-member "Politburo," which has executive power over the organization. The positions are as follows:The organization shall have seven elected offices, named President, Vice President of Technology, Vice President of Industry Relations, Secretary/Treasurer, External Events Coordinator, Internal Events Coordinator, and Outreach Chair.The CSUA has a base of officers who have access to the office and serve the community as part of their duties. Regular officers have less responsibilities than the Politburo officers, and are elected into the organization as officers by a unanimous vote of the Politburo.
CSUA members gain membership by creating a CSUA account. This account grants access to CSUA's computing resources. Members also are able to vote at General Meeting #3.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers%3A%20Cyberverse | Transformers: Cyberverse (retitled Transformers: Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures in season 3) is a cel shaded computer-animated series based on the Transformers toy franchise by Hasbro. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on August 27, 2018.
Premise
When Bumblebee begins to suffer amnesia, his partner, Windblade, comes to the rescue and begins the process of helping him repair his memory files, enabling him to rediscover his past adventures on Cybertron. Once his memories are repaired, Bumblebee gets a clue that will lead both him and Windblade to complete their current mission and save their friends.
Synopsis
Chapter One
Prior to the series, Cybertron was a peaceful planet, but when Megatron was elected supreme ruler of Cybertron, half of the planet's inhabitants protested against his rule which escalated into a civil war in an effort to overthrow him.
During the war on Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons, Optimus Prime decides to throw the AllSpark through a space bridge to an unknown location. The AllSpark holds all Cybertronian life and possesses vast powers that must not fall in the hands of the Decepticons. Eventually, it becomes clear that Cybertron is slowly dying without the AllSpark. Optimus Prime goes on a journey to find the AllSpark on a spaceship called the Ark together with Bumblebee, Arcee, Prowl, Grimlock, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Chromia, Rack'n'Ruin, Drift, Teletraan-1 and Teletraan-X. Due to Energon shortage, all Autobots have to go into stasis. The Ark finds the AllSpark on Earth, but it gets damaged and crashes. Bumblebee and Grimlock fall out of the ship before the Ark hits the surface. Bumblebee stays in stasis, while Grimlock befriends the dinosaurs and teaches them Cybertronian technology. They search the entire planet for the Ark and the AllSpark, but then a meteorite crashes on Earth. The dinosaurs go extinct and Grimlock goes back into stasis.
The first chapter focuses on Windblade who was the only bot able to get through a partially repaired space bridge. She lands on Earth in search for the Ark. She only finds Bumblebee, who has now awoken from stasis, but has lost all his memory files. Windblade possesses telepathic powers and helps Bumblebee to restore his memory. Old memories from Cybertron and the journey on the Ark are rediscovered in every episode. Meanwhile, they have to defend themselves against several Decepticons, who are also looking for the Ark and the AllSpark.
Eventually, they find Teletraan-X, a flying hard drive of the Ark, and they manage to find and awaken Grimlock. Teletraan-X is able to locate the Ark with the data Grimlock has collected. They wake up all Autobots on board from stasis right before Starscream arrives on Earth with his Decepticon armada.
Chapter Two: Power of the Spark
Following the Autobots' reawakening, they and the Decepticons continue their war on Earth as Megatron attempts to slam Earth's moon into the planet. In the ensuing battle, Megatron is wounded by Op |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Great%20Battles%20of%20Alexander | The Great Battles of Alexander is a 1997 turn-based computer wargame developed by Erudite Software and published by Interactive Magic. Adapted from the GMT Games physical wargame of the same name, it depicts 10 of Alexander the Great's key conflicts, and simulates the interplay between Ancient Macedonian battle tactics and its rival military doctrines. Gameplay occurs at the tactical level: players direct predetermined armies on discrete battlefields, in a manner that one commentator compared to chess.
Development of Alexander began at Erudite Software in 1994, under the direction of Mark Herman, co-designer of the original board game. Its production cycle was long and troubled: following several delays, the game was dropped in 1996 by publisher Strategic Simulations. Interactive Magic ultimately signed Erudite to publish Alexander, and installed S. Craig Taylor as the game's producer. The team sought to make Alexander accessible despite the complexity of the wargame genre, and focused on polishing its audiovisual presentation and interface, the latter of which was inspired by Panzer General.
Critics praised Alexanders historical accuracy, graphics and audio, but noted its frame rate as a low point; a writer for PC Gamer UK argued that this problem helped to ruin the overall product. The title received a "Game of the Month" award from Jerry Pournelle of Byte. After the release of Alexander in June 1997, Erudite and Interactive Magic created two sequel products: The Great Battles of Hannibal (1997) and The Great Battles of Caesar (1998). These three games formed the Great Battles series, and were released together in the Great Battles: Collector's Edition compilation in late 1998. Their game engine was later reused in Erudite's North vs. South.
Gameplay
The Great Battles of Alexander is a computer wargame. It recreates the historical military exploits of Alexander the Great via turn-based gameplay. The game takes place on a hex map, and simulates combat at the tactical level; the player navigates an army of predetermined units on discrete battlefields, in a manner that PC PowerPlay compared to chess. Ten historical engagements—such as the Battle of the Hydaspes and the Siege of Pelium—are included.
Development
Production
The Great Battles of Alexander began development at Erudite Software in 1994, as an adaptation of the titular board wargame designed by Mark Herman and Richard Berg, first published by GMT Games in 1991. The physical Great Battles series was known as a commercial success in a period of falling sales for board games. Alexanders computer adaptation was first announced in late 1994, under the direction of Mark Herman, and was created with assistance from GMT. Erudite, a business software developer founded in 1990, initially hoped to self-publish the game. However, the company had partnered with publisher Strategic Simulations (SSI) by the time of Alexanders announcement. At that point, the game was set to include play-by-email |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Great%20Battles%20of%20Hannibal | The Great Battles of Hannibal is a 1997 computer wargame developed by Erudite Software and published by Interactive Magic. Based on the board wargame SPQR, it is the sequel to The Great Battles of Alexander and the second game in the Great Battles computer wargame series.
Gameplay
Development
The Great Battles of Hannibal was announced by developer Erudite Software and publisher Interactive Magic in early 1997, alongside its sequel Caesar. Erudite had signed with Interactive Magic in mid-1996 to publish Hannibals predecessor, The Great Battles of Alexander, after that game's long and troubled development history. The publisher declared its intent to publish all three games as the Great Battles series in January 1997, and assigned S. Craig Taylor to be their producer. GMT Games assisted in the creation of the series, and each entry was based on one of its board titles. While Alexander derived from GMT's board wargame of the same name, Erudite built Hannibal on SPQR, part of the same series. The physical Great Battles titles were known as commercial successes in a period of falling sales for the medium.
Hannibal was designed to simulate Roman infantry tactics in addition to the Ancient Macedonian battle tactics that had appeared in Alexander. However, the team reused the core mechanical systems of Alexanders computer version with minor additions. Designer Mark Herman wrote before the game's release, "It has been heartening to discover that the game system is flexible enough to be easily modified to reflect the historical evolution of ancient warfare. By adding two rules: Pre-shock missile fire and the ability to give line commands we have been able to capture the critical aspects of the Roman tactical system". Hannibal also shares Alexanders game engine, which the team upgraded for the sequel. Erudite increased the level of graphical detail and, in response to requests from players of Alexander, added an undo command for certain moves. The team sought to improve Hannibals artificial intelligence compared to that of its predecessor as well.
Hannibal was shown at the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June. By that time, it had a projected release date of October 1997. In September, Interactive Magic announced that its release had been pushed back another month; it ultimately launched on November 7.
Reception
Scott Udell of Computer Games Strategy Plus called Hannibal an improvement upon its predecessor, in that it retained Alexanders best features while fixing its worst. He praised it as "a wonderfully refreshing play aesthetic that few recent wargames have approached, let alone matched." In PC Gamer US, William R. Trotter likewise praised the game and compared it positively to Alexander. Describing Hannibals place in the Great Battles series, he summarized, "It is perhaps unwise to suggest that any wargame is 'the last word' on a given subject [...] but it's hard to imagine how these three games could be outclassed in the foreseeable |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Great%20Battles%20of%20Caesar | The Great Battles of Caesar is 1998 computer wargame developed by Erudite Software and published by Interactive Magic. Based on the board wargame The Great Battles of Julius Caesar, it is the third and final entry in the Great Battles computer wargame series.
Gameplay
Development
The Great Battles of Caesar was announced by publisher Interactive Magic and developer Erudite Software in early 1997, alongside its direct predecessor, Hannibal. Erudite had signed with the company in mid-1996 to publish both games' forebear, The Great Battles of Alexander, after that title's long and troubled development cycle. The publisher declared its intent to release all three games as the Great Battles series in January 1997, and assigned S. Craig Taylor to be their producer. GMT Games assisted in the creation of the series, and each entry was based on one of its board titles. Alexander launched in June, while Hannibal appeared on November 7. By mid-1997, Interactive Magic had scheduled Caesar for release in spring of the following year.
Erudite based Caesar on GMT's board wargame The Great Battles of Julius Caesar, but built it with a modified form of the mechanical game system it had previously used in Alexander and Hannibal. To simulate Roman tactics in the era following Hannibal's defeat (which scholars through much of the 20th century attributed to so-called "Marian reforms"), the team altered the series' mechanics to change the basic unit from the manipular legion, with its three lines (hastati, principes and triarii) of infantry, to the more homogeneous Marian legion. However, Erudite sought "only slightly" to represent the many tactical changes during this era, such as by mimicking the expansion of Rome's chain of command via the inclusion of section commanders. Caesar shares its predecessors' game engine, which the team updated for the project. Visual upgrades were included as well.
In early January 1998, Interactive Magic confirmed the spring release date for Caesar, and announced that it would cease publishing Great Battles titles thereafter. Computer Gaming World wargame columnist Terry Coleman lamented this decision, which he called "a real shame for fans of [GMT Games'] Samurai in particular". Later in January, the publisher gave Caesar a firmer release date of March. Erudite completed the game on March 11, and it launch on the 26th.
Reception
The Great Battles of Caesar was the runner-up for Computer Gaming Worlds 1998 "Best Wargame" award, which ultimately went to The Operational Art of War. The editors wrote of Caesar, "With improved graphics, aggressive AI, a solid campaign, and an excellent scenario editor, it's the best ancients game in more than a decade for the PC."
Computer Gaming Worlds Jim Cobb called Caesar "not only the best of the Great Battles series to date, it's also the most realistic ancients-era game yet on the PC." While he found its graphics middling, and noted that the slow performance continued from its predecessors, |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murrili%20meteorite | Murrilli (Moo-da-lee) is an ordinary chondrite of subclass type H5. It is the third meteorite to be recovered using the Australia Desert Fireball Network (DFN) camera observatory. It was observed to fall on 27 November 2015 at 9:15pm local time (10:43:44.50 UTC) in South Australia, and recovered by the DFN team on 31 December 2015 from Lake Eyre. As this region is a salt lake, the 1.68 kg rock punched a hole through the ground and was found 0.43 m below the surface. It was recovered 218m from the predicted fall line location.
The Arabana people are the traditional custodians of this land, and recovery of this rock would not have been possible without their permission and assistance. After an aerial search two weeks after the recorded fall, ground-based teams, assisted by the two Arabana people, pinpointed the location and subsequently recovered the rock from the salt lake, prior to rain washing away the impact hole.

The Murrili meteorite fell as a single 1.68 kg heart-shaped rock, with approximate dimensions of 13 × 7 × 6 cm. It was entirely covered in a matte fusion crust, with one broken corner showing the light grey interior of the meteorite. Two wedge-shaped sections were cut from the rock for further study and are currently kept at Curtin University, Western Australia. The rock is relatively weathered due to the terrestrial environment of the fall location, which presents as heterogeneous rusty staining. It is classified as an S1, based upon the very few shock features that are present in the rock.
Murrili is classified as an H5 ordinary chondrite. It contains a high siderophile element component, some well-defined Chondrules, some of which contain barred olivine, and large, single-mineral crystal clasts. It is also classed as a type 5, as it shows moderate amounts of thermal metamorphism which has caused secondary mineral growth and chemical homogenization.
Bulk density of the rock is 3.47 g/cm3, whereas grain density is 3.59 g/cm3. This implies a porosity of 3.4%. This is markedly low for an H chondrite, but it is consistent with relatively weathered meteorites, as secondary weathering materials fill the pores we would expect to see in an unweathered H chondrite
Meteorite fall, recovery and orbital characteristics
The 6.1 second fall of the Murrili meteorite was recorded by five Desert Fireball Network cameras. The rock entered the Earth's atmosphere at 13.82 km/s, and slowed to a speed of 3.83 km/s over 72 km, at an altitude of 18.34 km. The fall in dark flight was modeled using the WRF climate model to determine the final fall location
The meteorite fell on Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre in the Far North region of South Australia, leaving a visible impact structure, that was observed by DFN searchers from a light aircraft, prior to a ground expedition to recover the meteorite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns%20Up%21 | Guns Up! (stylized as GUNS UP!) is a free-to-play action strategy game developed by San Diego Studio and Valkyrie Entertainment and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It was originally released on December 5, 2015. A Windows port was later released on February 5, 2018, through Steam. A mobile port licensed by Sony for iOS and Android developed and published by NHN Bigfoot with Valkyrie's involvement was released on April 1, 2022.
It received a mixed reception from critics, who commended its accessibility but criticized its lack of complexity and microtransactions.
Online services for the game was planned to be terminated on April 14, 2023, rendering the game unplayable; however, due to overwhelming support from the gaming community, they have announced the shutdown postponed until December 14, 2023. The mobile port is not affected due to NHN Bigfoot
Gameplay
The game tasks players with creating an impenetrable base and an army to attack the bases of other players. The player must use munitions, the in-game currency, to do this, which is earned by attacking other players' bases. The multiplayer is asynchronous in that players cannot defend their bases, only direct their troops in capturing other bases. The player can randomly unlock special attacks on the field and from support cards.
There is the option to spend real currency to buy in-game gold, which can unlock special soldiers much faster, as well as customize the player's army and soldiers.
In battle, the player loses if their transport truck is destroyed.
Reception
The game received mixed reception, with the aggregate score being 54/100 on Metacritic based on 13 reviews. C.J. Andriessen of Destructoid rated the game 25/100, calling the game "repetitive, tedious" and "digital Ambien", and stated that the game was "un-fun" without spending money on microtransactions to increase the XP gained, but also said that the microtransactions made the game too easy. Dean Takahashi of GamesBeat rated the game 70/100, finding it "fun and replayable", but criticizing the "slow network response". He compared it to Clash of Clans and said that it had the potential to bridge the gap between mobile and console games if the network was more reliable. Ben Tarrant of Playstation Lifestyle gave the game a score of 75 out of 100 stating "Guns Up! is devilishly addictive" and, "leaving you with a constant desire to progress and improve both your settlement and your garrison of units". Official PlayStation Magazine UK rated the game 40/100, saying that it felt "soulless" and that it was "a mobile freemium game in poor disguise".
IGN nominated Guns Up! for "Best Strategy Game" at E3 2014

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressways%20of%20Guangdong | Expressways in Guangdong are a major form of transportation in Guangdong province. The network consists of national expressways assigned by National Trunk Highway System in China and provincial expressways assigned by Guangdong Expressway system. Expressways in Guangdong usually need a fare of 0.45 CNY/km (about 0.72 CNY/mile) for a private car due to the provincial standard, while more needed for a larger vehicle. Speed limits also vary with the type of vehicles that usually ranged from .
The first expressway in Guangdong is the Guangfo Expressway, opened in 1989. In 2014, the mileage of expressways in the province exceeded , ranking first in the country. Then it exceeded in 2015, reaching every county or county-level city in the region. In 2016, the construction plan completed an investment of 85 billion CNY, including 782 km of 15 new projects, 3,583 km of continued construction, and 716 km of 9 projects that were opened to traffic. As of late 2022, the network length exceeded 11,000 kilometers, reaching , ranking first in the country for 9 consecutive years, and the average network density is about 62.39 km/1000 km², also ranking first among the standard provinces in China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingle%20Dell%20meteorite | Dingle Dell is a 1.15 kg ordinary chondrite of subclass L/LL5, and the fourth meteorite to be recovered by the Desert Fireball Network camera observatory. It fell in the Morawa region of Western Australia on 31 October 2016 8:05 pm local time, and was recovered less than a week later, on the morning of 7 November, in a paddock at Dingle Dell farm. Given the rapid turnaround for meteorite recovery and a lack of rainfall between fall date and find date, the rock is in pristine condition and shows no evidence of terrestrial weathering (W0). This particular meteorite fall demonstrates the proficiency of the DFN as a sample recovery tool for meteoritics.
Physical properties and composition
The rock is 1.15 kg in mass, and approximately 16 × 9 × 4 cm in size. It was originally slightly wedged shaped, with pristine fusion crust that is both primary and secondary, which indicate this rock broke up as it was passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
Dingle dell contains Chondrules between 1.15 – 4.11 mm in diameter that are poorly defined, which is characteristic of a type 5 ordinary chondrite and moderate amounts of thermal metamorphism. Both olivine and pyroxene have undulose extinction, which is evidence for mild shock, and therefore this rock is classified as an S2.
Bulk density is 3.23 g/cm3, and grain density is 3.61 g/cm3. Together, these measurements imply Dingle Dell has a porosity of 10.5%, which is close to the mean for lightly shocked, unweathered ordinary chondrite falls. The magnetic susceptibility and grain density of the meteorite are higher than typical LL chondrites, however together with the physical properties of the rock, Dingle Dell belongs to an intermediate population of meteorites that lie between the L and LL chemical groups.
Fall description and Recovery
Several fireball reports were made by the public in the wheat-belt region of Western Australia using the Fireballs in the Sky smartphone app. Users can report a fireball sighting to help supplement the data obtained from the Desert Fireball Network observatory. Six of the DFN cameras also observed the 6.2-second fireball. The rock entered the Earth's atmosphere traveling with a velocity of 15.43 km/s. It decelerated to a velocity of 3.54 km/s over a distance of 78 km, and stopped ablating at 19.52 km altitude.
Members of the Desert Fireball Network team visited the local area around the fall on 3 November, to contact local land owners to seek permission to search. Following this, a search team of 4 people arrived on 5 November; the meteorite was recovered on the second day of searching.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum%20Information%20Required%20About%20a%20Glycomics%20Experiment | The Minimum Information Required About a Glycomics Experiment (MIRAGE) initiative is part of the Minimum Information Standards and specifically applies to guidelines for reporting (describing metadata) on a glycomics experiment. The initiative is supported by the Beilstein Institute for the Advancement of Chemical Sciences. The MIRAGE project focuses on the development of publication guidelines for interaction and structural glycomics data as well as the development of data exchange formats. The project was launched in 2011 in Seattle and set off with the description of the aims of the MIRAGE project.
Organization
The MIRAGE Commission consists of three groups which tightly interact with each other.
The advisory board consists of leading scientists in glycobiology, who, for example, critically review the outcomes of the working group and promote the reporting guidelines within the community.
The working group seeks for external consultation and directly interacts with the glycomics community. The group members carry out defined subprojects (e.g. development and revision of guidelines) by focusing on specific research areas to fulfill the overall aims of the MIRAGE project.
The co-ordination team links the subprojects from the working group together and passes the outcomes to the advisory board for review.
Reporting guidelines
The following reporting guidelines were developed and published:
MIRAGE MS guidelines for reporting mass spectrometry-based glycan analysis. These guidelines are based on the MIAPE guideline template, i.e. MIAPE-MS version 2.24.
MIRAGE Sample preparation guidelines which are considered a common basis for any further MIRAGE reporting guidelines in order to keep the requirements for data analysis short and consistent.
MIRAGE Glycan microarray guidelines for the comprehensive description of Glycan array experiments the reporting guidelines for glycan microarray analysis have been developed. In order to assist the authors to reporting in compliance with these guidelines, exemplar publications and a template with a data example is provided.
MIRAGE Liquid chromatography guidelines for reporting of liquid chromatography (LC) glycan data.
Derivatives
The MIRAGE reporting guidelines provide essential frameworks for subsequent projects related with the development of both software tools for the analysis of experimental glycan data and databases for the deposition of interaction analysis data (e.g. from glycan microarray experiments) and structural analysis data (e.g. from mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography experiments). As the guidelines include the definitions of the minimum information required for reporting glycomics experiments comprehensively, this information is incorporated in database structures, data acquisition forms and data exchange formats.
The following databases comply with the MIRAGE guidelines:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindSphere | MindSphere is an industrial IoT as a service solution developed by Siemens for applications in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT).
MindSphere stores operational data and makes it accessible through digital applications (“MindSphere applications”) to allow industrial customers to make decisions based on valuable factual information. The system is used in applications such as automated production and vehicle fleet management.
Assets can be securely connected to MindSphere with auxiliary MindSphere products that collect and transfer relevant machine and plant data.
Examples include real-time telemetric data from moving assets like cars, time series data and geographical data, which can be used for predictive maintenance or to develop new analytical tools.
MindSphere is now known as Insights Hub.
Overview
As an industrial IoT as a service solution, MindSphere collects and analyzes all kinds of sensor data in real time. This information can be used to optimize products, production assets and manufacturing processes along the entire value chain. MindSphere’s open application interfaces make it possible to obtain data from machines, plants or entire fleets irrespective of the manufacturer. These interfaces include OPC Foundation’s OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).
To help customers create their own software applications and services, MindSphere is equipped with open application programming interfaces (APIs) and development tools. This allows OEMs to integrate their own technology.
MindSphere is based on the concept of closed feedback loops enabling the bi-directional data flow between production and development: Real-world plants, machines and equipment can be connected to MindSphere in order to extract operational data. Valuable information (e.g. “digital twins” of machines) can then be extrapolated from the raw data through analytics and utilized to optimize products as well as production processes and environments in the next cycle of innovation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth%20Langdon%20Williams | Elizabeth Langdon Williams (February 8, 1879 in Putnam, Connecticut – 1981 in Enfield, New Hampshire) was an American human computer and astronomer whose work helped lead to the discovery of Pluto, or Planet X.
Personal life and education
Elizabeth Langdon Williams was born to Elizabeth Brigham and Louis M. Williams on February 8, 1879 in Putnam, Connecticut. She was the twin of Robert Longfellow Williams, and the older sister of Henry Trumbell Williams and Ursula Louise Williams. She graduated from MIT with a degree in physics in 1903 as one of their earliest female graduates, and was the first woman to play an honor part during graduation. She read part of her thesis, "An analytical study of the Fresnel wave-surface" at the ceremony, and was said to have widely impressed all in attendance. She was at the top of her class and said to be ambidextrous, writing cursive with her right hand and print with her left hand. In 1922, Williams married George Hall Hamilton, another astronomer who was born in London on June 30, 1884 and educated at Cambridge. He worked at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, where he met Williams, from 1917 to 1922.
Career
Williams was hired by Percival Lowell in 1905 to work from his State Street office in Boston. She initially edited publications for Lowell until she was asked to be a human computer for his Planet X research that began in 1910.
Planet X
Lowell hypothesized that a proposed Planet X affected the orbits of the known planets Neptune and Uranus. Williams' role in the Planet X project was that of head human computer, performing mathematical calculations on where Lowell should search for an unknown object and its size based on the differences in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Her calculations led to predictions for the location of the unknown planet, but Lowell died in 1916 and the project was discontinued. In the late 1920s, however, the project was resumed and Clyde Tombaugh was hired to lead it. Tombaugh used Lowell's predictions (built on Williams' calculations) to locate an image in a region of the sky photographed in 1915 that he identified as a new planet named Pluto in 1930.
Williams continued to work on calculations and handled correspondence at Lowell Observatory after Lowell's death, moving from Boston to the observatory itself at Flagstaff in 1919. She and Hamilton were then dismissed from their positions at the observatory by Percival Lowell's widow, Constance, because it was considered inappropriate to employ a married woman. Williams and her husband were subsequently employed at an observatory in Mandeville, Jamaica run by Harvard College Observatory where they worked together.
Final years
In 1935, George Hall Hamilton died. Widowed, Williams retired from the observatory in Mandeville and moved to Lebanon, New Hampshire with her younger sister, Louise Ring, where they ran "Peaceful Acres," a summer retreat home. She died in 1981 in Enfield, New Hampshire at the age of 101.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alike%20%28film%29 | Alike is a 2015 3D computer-animated short film directed by Daniel Martínez Lara and Rafa Cano Méndez. The animation production took 5 years to complete along with the help of ex-animation student using the free 3D animation application, Blender. The animated short is a story of the relationship of a father and his son who live in a society "where order and work ethic literally choke the colour and creativity out of its inhabitants".
Plot
The story set in a bleak and colourless city where creativity is no longer present within the environment or the inhabitants. However, it is only the two main characters, the father, Copi and his son, Paste, who have colours. In the beginning, Copi gets ready for work and prepares Paste for school.
On the way, the son discovers a coloured character who is a violinist performing in a park, At the end of the day, the dad awaits his son to finish school and embraces him which then regains his colour back.
As the days go by of the same routine, the teacher forces Paste to be less creative at school which makes the two of them unhappy resulting both of them losing their colour. It is until one day the father tries to make his son happy by visiting the violinist at the park. However, he is no longer there. Instead, the father stands up in the park and mimes the performance of the violinist and brings happiness to his son and himself.
Production
In 2010, Martinez and Cano started the project with a budget over €60,000 with using their own technology and savings supported by producer Nico Matji. Rather than hiring professional animators from big budget studios, the two directors recruited the help of ex animation students from 'Pepe-school-Land' which is an academy where Lara taught. Due to the lack of resources, the production used Blender since it was free. When the animation was completed in 2015, it was featured in film festivals across world, but was on the condition that it must not be available on the internet.
Release and reception
In 2016, Alike received the Goya Award for best animated short film. Although few people watched the film, both directors decided to upload their project online to give it greater exposure. Since its launch on the internet, the video's popularity grew exponentially being passed on through Vimeo, Twitter and Facebook as well as amassing over 5 million views on YouTube.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldemar%20Cordeiro | Waldemar Cordeiro (April 12, 1924 – June 30, 1973) was an Italian-born Brazilian art critic and artist. He worked as a computer artist in the early days of computer art and was a pioneer of the concrete art movement in Latin America.
Early life and education
Cordeiro was born in Rome, Italy to a Brazilian father and an Italian mother. He had dual citizenship.
Cordeiro studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome. At Accademia di Belle Arti, Cordeiro painted in the figurative and expressive art styles. During this time, he began to study the work of Antonio Gramsci, who was deeply influential to his career.
Career
From 1946 through 1948, when he was in his mid-20s, Cordeiro traveled back and forth from Rome and São Paulo, Brazil, before settling permanently in Brazil in 1948. In Brazil, Cordeiro worked as a painter, art critic, and journalist, notably at Folha da Manhã in São Paulo.
Through this work at Folha da Manhã, Cordeiro was the self-appointed leader of the Arte Concrete community, made up of artists who came from a diverse immigrant backgrounds, such as Anatol Wladyslaw, Geraldo de Barros, Lothar Charoux, Luiz Sacilotto, Kazmer Fejer and Leopoldo Haar. Cordeiro gathered the artists together as extension of a 1948 exhibition at the Prestes Maia Gallery, where the newly emerging artists had their work first shown.
Initially, Cordeiro painted using a traditionally figurative and expressive style. In the late 1940s, spurred in part by encounters in Rome with the abstraction promoted by the international group known as Art Club (founded by Polish painter Josef Jarema, Italian painter Enrico Prampolini, and others), Cordeiro began to transform forms made up of geometric shapes into a free expression of experimentation with sequences of shapes. Through this work, Cordeiro became known as a pioneer of the concrete art movement in Latin America, specifically Brazil.
In 1952, he co-founded Grupo Ruptura, the Sāo Paulo branch of the Brazilian Concrete art movement. Cordeiro was the group's main theorist. As Grupo Ruptura's main theoretician, he supported the group's rationalist position, openly opposed to the principles put forward by the Rio group led by the art critic Ferreira Gullar. At the Ruptura exhibition in 1952, Cordeiro distributed the Ruptura manifesto, which was seen as a radical statement of the group's intention to reject the old and embrace a new approach that included development of abstractionism, free of all representational references, that would be intelligible no matter viewers' backgrounds. Cordeiro's confrontative approach was informed a rejection of elitism, as many of the artists in Grupo Ruptura as well as Cordeiro himself came from working-class backgrounds and had a focus on the populism expressed by geometric abstractionism as a supposedly universal mode of communication.
In 1953, he met Tomás Maldonado in Buenos Aires.
In 1956, Cordeiro staged the first Exposicão Nacional de Arte Concreta.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319%20United%20States%20network%20television%20schedule | The 2018–19 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2018 to August 2019. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2017–18 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 13, 2018, followed by Fox on May 14, ABC on May 15, CBS on May 16, and The CW on May 17, 2018.
On May 29, 2018, ABC removed Roseanne from its Tuesday lineup due to a controversial statement made by Roseanne Barr on Twitter about Valerie Jarrett, and replaced it with The Conners on June 21 for the fall.
PBS is not included, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules comprise syndicated reruns. The CW does not air network programming on Saturday nights.
New series are highlighted in bold.
Beginning with this season, The CW returned to programming a Sunday evening schedule for the first time since the 2008–09 season as of October 7 (the network commenced its regular Sunday schedule the following week, on October 14); programming formerly airs on that night from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT (until October 1, 2023 which now airs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT) making it the only broadcast television network to not program the Sunday 7 p.m. ET/PT hour since that hour was given to the broadcast networks through the implementation of a 1975 amendment to the since-repealed Prime Time Access Rule (PTAR).
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva%20Galperin | Eva Galperin is the Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and technical advisor for the Freedom of the Press Foundation. She is noted for her extensive work in protecting global privacy and free speech and for her research on malware and nation-state spyware.
Biography
Galperin became interested in computers at an early age through her father, who was a computer security specialist. When she was 12, he created a desktop for her on his Unix/Solaris computer and she became active in Usenet discussion areas about science fiction novels and playing interactive text games, and she later became active in web development. She attended college at San Francisco State University for political science and international relations while working as a Unix system administrator at various companies in Silicon Valley.
Galperin joined the EFF in 2007. Prior to EFF, she worked at the Center for US–China policy studies, where she helped to organize conferences and researched Chinese energy policy. At EFF, she led the Threat Lab project before she was promoted as the EFF's Director of Cybersecurity in 2017. Since 2018, she focused on the eradication of the "stalkerware" spyware used for domestic abuse industry, working with victims of stalkerwares. These malicious applications, which are being marketed to abusive spouses, overbearing parents, and stalkers, can be installed secretly on mobile devices, allowing their owners to monitor their targets' activities.
In April 2019, she convinced anti-virus provider Kaspersky Lab to begin explicitly alerting users of security threats upon detection of stalkerware on the company's Android product. She also asked Apple to allow antivirus applications in its marketplace and, like Kaspersky, to alert its users if their mobile devices have been jailbroken or rooted. Galperin stated that due to competition, more cybersecurity companies will be prompted to follow suit to meet this heightened standard. She has also called on U.S. state and federal officials to arrest and prosecute executives of companies that are developing and selling stalkerwares on charges of hacking.

It was replaced by Destined to be Yours in its timeslot.
Plot
After being estranged from his family for some years, Pepe De Jesus (Dingdong Dantes) returns home to make amends with his parents, Jose (Christopher de Leon) and Judy (Jaclyn Jose). Pepe grew up someone who tends to start fights much to the dismay of his father who hates conflicts. He revealed to his family that he has changed his ways and is becoming a lawyer soon and was welcomed by his family including his father who was initially unhappy of his return. Pepe also gets to know a girl, a pediatrician named Sarri Acosta (Megan Young).
All seems well for the De Jesus family until Pepe found his father dead apparently murdered by his own arrow which Pepe owned since he was a teenager. He seeks who was behind for the murder but he was blamed for the death of his own father and was convicted of a crime he didn't commit. While in transit to his prison, the vehicle carrying Pepe was bombed and Pepe along with the vehicle fell from a bridge. He was later found by Venus, (Andrea Torres) who taught him martial arts.
Everyone thought that Pepe is dead. Armed with a bow and arrow made by his best friend, Jekjek (Gio Alvarez), Pepe takes advantage of the situation to find who really was behind the murder of his father under a secret identity. He will also have the opportunity to thwart the illegal operations of those he suspects to be behind his father's murders and the money earned from these illegal operations are redistributed to the people in need which caused him to be known as "Alyas Robin Hood", an alter ego he adopts while he clears his own name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramisyllis%20multicaudata | Ramisyllis multicaudata is a species of polychaete worm in the family Syllidae. It was found in Darwin Harbour, Australia, where it was living within the tissues of a sponge of the genus Petrosia. It was the second branching species of polychaete worm to have been discovered, the first having been Syllis ramosa, a deep water species, more than a century earlier. In 2022, a second species in R. multicaudata's genus, Ramisyllis kingghidorahi, was described from specimens taken off the coast of Sado Island, Japan.
Description
This worm inhabits the interior of a sponge and except for the tips of its branches, is not visible to the naked eye. It is cylindrical, about 1mm in diameter and up to in length. The head is buried deep in the sponge and is difficult to locate during a dissection of the sponge. It has three antennae, two pairs of eyes, a pair of palps and two pairs of tentacular cirri. The body is fragile and easily broken in pieces. The dorsal cirri (thread-like growths) on the body segments are elongated and sometimes of unequal length; they are articulated while the ventral cirri are short and conical and not articulated. The chaetae (bristles) are simple and shaped somewhat like tomahawks. Some branches of the worm develop into stolons, reproductive elements that contain the eggs or sperm and which later become detached from the parent worm. Molecular evidence from rDNA indicates that R. multicaudata and S. ramosa have evolved a branching habit independently of each other; in the latter case, the worm initiates branching from a parapodium whereas in the former, an area between the parapodia is involved.
Distribution
Ramisyllis multicaudata was found living symbiotically inside both white and purple sponges of the genus Petrosia in Darwin Harbour, Australia, by Christopher Glasby, who works at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. The depth ranges from low tide level down to about . The worm was discovered in 2006 and first described in 2012, being given the name multicaudata from the Latin multus for "many", and caudata for "tailed".
Ecology
Ramisyllis multicaudata is a branching worm with its head hidden deep inside the sponge. The worm branches repeatedly, forming a tree-like structure. The side branches occupy the channels in the sponge, and their tips sometimes emerge into the open water, making the sponge appear to have white, hairy tentacles.
Researchers are puzzled as to how this worm obtains enough nourishment; the head may be eating the sponge tissues, but the worm is not thought to be able to move around inside the sponge and it is difficult to envisage how it could obtain enough nourishment through its mouth to sustain its much-branched body. The gut is continuous throughout the branches, but has been found to contain very few of the sponge's spicules. One possible solution to this puzzle is that the worm may be surviving on dissolved organic carbon absorbed through its integument, as some other invertebrate |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency%20medical%20services%20in%20Finland | Emergency medical services in Finland (staggered primary care system) are service networks designed to assist patients with acute health problems. Patients are first sent to an Emergency Centre, where a thorough assessment is conducted to determine the severity of the patients' illness or disability. Medical treatment is then administered accordingly. After the tests and treatment are carried out by emergency staff, an assessment is made as to whether the patient needs further aid at a hospital. If necessary, the patient is directed to an appropriate emergency care unit.
Medical services are organised under the Six Step Framework of care, which includes:
The Emergency Response Center
First response
Basic level
Care Level
Emergency Doctor/Physician
Emergency Department
The emergency access number for the police, rescue, and fire departments in Finland is 112.
Patient care
Patient care progresses through each level of the Six Step Framework of care. Based on the risk assessment of the Emergency Response Center, a basic or therapeutic unit can be provided by a single or multiple-level unit.
Medical service worker training
Each medical service worker completes both basic training and a periodic quality test to ensure quality care delivery within the Six Step Framework of care. Medical service workers progress in their careers to a higher complexity level of care that correlates with the next unit of the Six Step Framework of care. Those medical services workers who are accepted to practice at a higher-level unit may choose to work in a lower-level unit, but as a rule, medical services workers who have passed quality tests at a lower level may not work in higher-level units.
For example, an approved Basic-level medical services worker cannot provide medical services at the Care level.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDO%20Global | BDO (an acronym for Binder Dijker Otte) is an international network of public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory firms that provide professional services under the name BDO. It is the fifth-largest accounting network in the world. Global fee income of the member firms in the network for the year ended 30 September 2021, including the members of their exclusive alliances, totaled US$12.8 billion. Each BDO member firm is an independent legal entity in its own country. The network, founded in 1963 as Binder Seidman International Group by firms from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the US, is coordinated by BDO Global Coordination B.V., with an office in Zaventem, Belgium. In 1973, the organisation adopted the name BDO, made up from the initials of the three founding firms: Binder (UK), Dijker (Netherlands) and Otte (Germany).
Australia
Established in 1975, BDO Australia has offices in Brisbane, Cairns, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin. It offers financial services and business advisory services.
While starting as an association of independently owned accounting firms, BDO Australia has since undergone several significant merges that include:
1988 – BDO Nelson Parkhill and Parkhill Stirling merge to create BDO Nelson Wheeler. Local offices are established in each state.
2006 – BDO and Horwath networks merge in Australia.
2012 – BDO and PKF East Coast Practice (ECP) merge in Australia.
2020 – As the first phase of integrating into one Australian firm, BDO in Brisbane (including both Brisbane and Sunshine Coast offices), and ECP (Sydney and Melbourne) merge.
Canada
BDO Canada is one of Canada's largest accounting services firms. Founded by James M. Dunwoody (affectionately known as "The Colonel" by BDO's employees) it opened its first location in the 1920s in Winnipeg, Manitoba. By the early 2000s, Dunwoody and BDO Ward Mallette, a firm based out of Toronto, had merged. The union also consolidated the firm's affiliation with BDO International, a global network of national accounting firms.
In 2007, BDO had 95 offices across Canada, with 1,200 professionals and over 300 partners. BDO's services run from assurance, accounting and taxation services to financial advisory and corporate recovery. The company has merged a number of times, including a merger announced in October 2009 with the accounting firm of Hudson LLP.
From 1 January 2010 'Dunwoody' was dropped from the company name to coincide with a global rebrand which saw all of the BDO member firms change their names to BDO. The rebrand, which included design, messaging, all of the separate global websites, marketing collateral and trickle-down implementation across the 110 country network took just over five months. The intention was to create a global consistency, so that the BDO network could be presented as a single entity.
