https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzania%20Media%20Service%20Act%2C%202016 | The Government of United Republic of Tanzania has enacted four Acts concerning with the control of freedom and regulation of media in the country. These are The Cybercrimes Act, 2015, The Statistics Act, 2015, The Media Services Act, 2016, and The Access to Information Act, 2015. The Government of the Republic of Tanzania on one side claims that the four Acts were highly needed to facilitate access to information and control the media sector. Political analysts, activists and normal people on the other side criticized that the Acts will pessimistically affect the freedom of media and eventually the freedom of speech of citizens. The Acts give the Minister responsible for information the power to ban any media which may seems to report, publish, print or broadcast information contrary to the code of conducts or threaten peace in the state.
Brief history
The Media Services Act, 2016, was enacted in 2016 by the parliament of the united republic of Tanzania on 5 November 2016 and signed by President John Pombe Magufuli just two weeks later. The Act replaced the then restrictive Newspaper Act of 1976. The Expectation to many people was that, the Act would to become an updated media law that will obey to international conventions like United Nation Declaration of Human rights (UNDHR), East African Community Treaty and others on citizen liberty to access information but unexpectedly the Acts seems to many as depriving of civil constitutional rights like freedom of expression and freedom of getting information.
Reaction from press
The Media Council of Tanzania (MCT), Legal and Human Right Centre (LHRC), and Tanzania Human Rights Defenders Coalition HRDC) on 11 January 2017 filed a petition at the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to challenge the newly passed Media Service Act, 2016. The team of lawyers from MCT, LHRC and THRDC are challenging sections of the Media Services Act, 2016 which appeared to deprive the civil liberties to access and getting information. According to the constitution of Tanzania Article 18 (a), (b), (c) and (d) Some deprived constitutional civil rights by the Media service Acts are;
Freedom of opinion and expression ideas
Right to seek, receive and, or disseminate information regardless of national boundaries;
Freedom to communicate and a freedom with protection from interference
Right to be informed at all times of various important events of life and activities of the people and also of issues of importance to the society
East African Court of Justice decision
March 2019 delivered the judgement and ruled that some of the provisions of sections 7(3) (a), (b), (c), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) and section 19, 20, 21, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 50, 52, 53, 54, 58 and 59 of the Media Services Act are in violation of the Articles 6(d), 7(2) and 8(1) of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community..

The Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal is a ferry slip within Butterworth in Penang, Malaysia. This docking facility is used for Penang Ferry services between Butterworth and the city of George Town on Penang Island.
In addition to ferry services, the ferry terminal is located adjacent to both Penang Sentral and the Butterworth railway station. This allows ferry commuters to choose between bus and train transportation modes to various destinations within Seberang Perai, as well as Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
History
The Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal was constructed to replace Mitchell's Pier, which had been built at the start of the 20th century. In the past, Mitchell's Pier was the landing point for the cross-strait ferries that linked Butterworth with George Town.
The present-day ferry terminal was named after the then Sultan of neighbouring Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim. He was also twice elected as the King of Malaysia (Malay: Yang di-Pertuan Agong) - between 1970 and 1975, and between 2011 and 2016.
In 1988, the Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal suffered structural failure due to overloading and collapsed, claiming the lives of 32 people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentarium | Fragmentarium (Digital Research Laboratory for Medieval Manuscript Fragments) is an online database to collect and collate fragments of medieval manuscripts making them available to researchers, collectors and historians worldwide. It is an international collaboration of major libraries and collections including the British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Martin Schøyen Collection, Bavarian State Library, Harvard, Yale and the Vatican. It is based in Switzerland and the project's current director is Professor Christoph Flüeler from the University of Fribourg and the Virtual Manuscript Library, Switzerland.
History
The Fragmentarium project was first proposed in October 2013 and the first planning meeting took place in Cologny in 2014. It was supported initially by representatives of 12 institutions, its goal being to study the field of manuscript fragment research and look at worldwide cataloguing standards. Fragmentarium was officially launched on 1 September 2017, by the Medieval Institute of the University of Fribourg at Abbey Library of St. Gall in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Historians and librarians are now able to upload images to the Fragmentarium where they will be made available for research and encouraged to publish images under a Creative Commons public domain license. The library currently operates as a closed system and will open up public resources gradually from 2018.
Method
Fragmentarium follows an established Swiss codex digitisation system known as e-codices and aims to promote cooperative research and discussion between researchers and scholars from multiple institutions. As more fragments are uploaded it will be possible to reunite fragments which have become separated and compare analyses of similar manuscript pieces. Some fragments have been analysed using the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) to identify pigments, creating a unique "fingerprint" to enable it to be matched to corresponding fragments elsewhere in the world and potentially track their journey with “the potential to learn more about trade routes, historic mining sites, and the regional use of pigments and ingredients”. Other fragments have been identified as "recycled" into covers or bindings for later documents, a practice which was prevalent in the 15th to 17th century. The system is also useful in documenting and digitally preserving partial manuscripts which have been damaged by neglect or fire as in the Cotton library fire of 1731, or by deliberate destruction as occurred in the reformation in Scandinavia. In more recent times, in the 1950s and 1960s medieval manuscripts were frequently deliberately divided in order to attract a higher return on resale values and have subsequently become lost to researchers: Fragmentarium hopes to reunite them. Flüeler has estimated that around 90% of extant fragments are currently "lost" in archives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic%20ecology | Genetic ecology is the study of the stability and expression of varying genetic material within abiotic mediums. Typically, genetic data is not thought of outside of any organism save for criminal forensics. However, genetic material has the ability to be taken up by various organisms that exist within an abiotic medium through natural transformations that may occur. Thus, this field of study focuses on interaction, exchange, and expression of genetic material that may not be shared by species had they not been in the same environment.
History
E.B. Ford was the first geneticist to begin work in this field of study. E.B. Ford worked mostly during the 1950s and is most noted for his work with Maniola jurtina and published a book entitled Ecological Genetics in 1975. This type of evolutionary biological study was only possible after gel electrophoresis had been designed in 1937. Prior to this, a high throughput method for DNA analysis did not exist. This field of study began to become more popular following the 1980s with the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR 1985) and poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (p. 1967). With this technology, segments of DNA could be sequenced, amplified, and proteins produced using bacterial transformations. The genetic material along with the proteins could be analyzed and more correct phylogenetic trees could be created.
Since E.B. Ford's research, multiple other genetic ecologists have continued study within the field of genetic ecology such as PT Hanford Alina von Thaden, and many others.
Gene transfer
Genetic information may transfer throughout an ecosystem in multiple ways. The first of which, on the smallest scale, being bacterial gene transfer (see bacterial transformations). Bacteria have the ability to exchange DNA. This DNA exchange, or horizontal gene transfer, may provide various species of bacteria with the genetic information they need to survive in an environment. This can help many bacterial species survive within an environment.
A similar event has the ability to happen between plants and bacteria. For example, Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the ability to introduce genes into plants to cause the development of Gall disease. This occurs through genetic transfer between the A. tumefaciens and between the plant in question.
In fact, a similar event occurs each time viral infections occur within living organisms. The viruses, whether positive or negative sense viruses, require a living organism to replicate their genes and produce more viruses. Once a virus is inside a living organism, it utilizes polymerases, ribosomes, and other biomolecules to replicate its own genetic material and to produce more virus genetic material similar to the original virus. Thus, gene transfer may occur through many varying means. Thus, the study of this gene transfer throughout each ecosystem, whether it be through a bacterial ecosystem or through the ecosystem of an organism, genetic ecology is the study o |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-5%20%28series%2010%29 | The tenth series of the children's television series Hi-5 aired between 7 July 2008 and 5 September 2008 on the Nine Network in Australia. The series was produced by Kids Like Us for Nine with Helena Harris as executive producer.
This was the last series to be produced by Kids Like Us, and the last involving creator Helena Harris. It was also the first series to feature Stevie Nicholson, and the last to feature Sun Park and original cast members Kellie Crawford, Nathan Foley and Charli Robinson. The series featured the 400th episode.
Production
Prior to production of the tenth series of Hi-5 in 2007, cast member Tim Harding was involved in a serious motorcycle accident which left him unable to keep up with the demands of the Hi-5 live performances. Just a few days prior to this, Stevie Nicholson was hired as an understudy for the group's touring schedule, and immediately began work as a temporary replacement for Harding after the accident. In November 2007, Harding announced his permanent departure from the group after recovering from injuries. Nicholson took his place as a permanent member and joined the group for the filming of the tenth series. Creator Helena Harris stated "it's like [he] was born to this job."
The tenth series premiered on 7 July 2008, with the episodes exploring contemporary themes such as different family structures, and technology. Unlike former cast member Kathleen de Leon Jones, Harding's departure was not explained on-screen. This was the final series produced by Kids Like Us and last to involve creator Helena Harris, before the program's sale to the Nine Network and Southern Star in 2008. As the transition was complete at the time of airing, the episodes were announced under the new management.
Sun Park returned for her second series, along with original cast members Kellie Crawford, Nathan Foley, and Charli Robinson. By the time of airing, Robinson had already departed from the cast, with intentions of furthering her presenting career. Crawford, Foley and Park also departed at the end of 2008, making the tenth series the last to feature any original members of the group.

This was the first series to feature Sun Park, replacing Kathleen de Leon Jones, who makes three guest appearances throughout the series. It was also the last series to feature Tim Harding.
Production
Prior to production of the ninth series of Hi-5 in 2006, Kathleen de Leon Jones announced that she was pregnant, and that she would take maternity leave from the Hi-5 group from April onwards. de Leon Jones had previously been involved in the filming of the eighth series, which did not air until June, after she had departed. Sun Park was introduced as her temporary replacement, while de Leon Jones gave birth to her first child in July. Park took de Leon Jones' place for the group's touring, and production of the ninth series in 2006.
The ninth series premiered on 11 June 2007, with de Leon Jones making a guest appearance to announce her pregnancy and introduce Park to viewers. She made two further appearances throughout the series, including one return along with her daughter. de Leon Jones stated that it was important to explain her pregnancy to the young audience, and show that "she [hadn't] just disappeared". Park added, "it comforts [children] to know that Kathleen has passed that trust down to me". Creator and executive producer Helena Harris stated that by 2007, "Hi-5 [was] still evolving and maintaining its relevance and freshness". Kellie Crawford, Nathan Foley, Tim Harding and Charli Robinson all returned for the series.
While de Leon Jones initially stated that she was intent on returning to Hi-5, she later made the decision to permanently leave the group to focus on being a mother. Park took her place as a permanent member with the group, during the airing of the ninth series in 2007. The ninth series was also the last to feature Tim Harding, who departed from the group later in the year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content%20Threat%20Removal | Content Threat Removal (CTR) is a cybersecurity technology intended to defeat the threat posed by handling digital content in the cyberspace. Unlike other defenses, including antivirus software and sandboxed execution, CTR does not rely on being able to detect threats. Similar to Content Disarm and Reconstruction, CTR is designed to remove the threat without knowing whether it has done so and acts without knowing if data contains a threat or not.
Detection strategies work by detecting unsafe content, and then blocking or removing that content. Content that is deemed safe is delivered to its destination. In contrast, Content Threat Removal assumes all data is hostile and delivers none of it to the destination, regardless of whether it is actually hostile. Although no data is delivered, the business information carried by the data is delivered using new data created for the purpose.
Threat
Advanced attacks continuously defeat defenses that are based on detection. These are often referred to as zero-day attacks, because as soon as they are discovered attack detection mechanisms must be updated to identify and neutralize the attack, and until they are, all systems are unprotected. These attacks succeed because attackers are skilled in finding new ways of evading detection. Polymorphic code can be used to evade the detection of known unsafe data and sandbox detection allows attacks to evade dynamic analysis.
Method
A Content Threat Removal defence works by intercepting data on its way to its destination. The business information carried by the data is extracted and the data is discarded. Then entirely new, clean and safe data is built to carry the information to its destination.
The effect of building new data to carry the business information is that any unsafe elements of the original data are left behind and discarded. This includes executable data, macros, scripts and malformed data that trigger vulnerabilities in applications.
While CTR is a form of content transformation, not all transformations provide a complete defence against the content threat.
Applicability
CTR is applicable to user-to-user traffic, such as email and chat, and machine-to-machine traffic, such as web services. Data transfers can be intercepted by in-line application layer proxies and these can transform the way information content is delivered to remove any threat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthdirect%20Australia | Healthdirect Australia, otherwise known as just Healthdirect and formerly the National Health Call Centre Network, is the national health advice service in Australia. Funded by the Australian Government and all state and territory governments excluding Queensland, Healthdirect provides a number of 24/7 health helplines to all Australians.
The Healthdirect website provides general health advice, a symptom checker which compares symptoms against clinical presentations, and a health directory which lists many primary, secondary and tertiary care services.
History
In February 2006, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) signed a Heads of Agreement to establish the National Health Call Centre Network (NHCCN). The NHCCN commenced delivering services in July 2007, with its core service operating under a single national name, healthdirect Australia, and national phone number - 1800 022 222.
In December 2012, the NHCCN changed its trading name to Healthdirect Australia, reflecting the organisation’s evolution from procuring and managing telephone triage services to offering multiple services with integrated telephone and online channels. This was followed in November 2015 by the change of the registered name to Healthdirect Australia Limited. After a review of after-hours primary health care in July 2015, Healthdirect Australia began to operate locally tailored after-hours services and new GP advice and support lines. Since March 2020, Healthidrect has been operating the National Coronavirus Helpline (NCH) providing telephone advice to the public. It has handled more than four million calls.
Services
Healthdirect Australia's services include a helpline available 24 hours a day, an after-hours general practitioner (GP) helpline, the healthdirect website (which provides free health information), an app for mobile devices, and a Symptom Checker (a guided, online self-triage tool allowing visitors to initiate their health enquiry online). The Pregnancy, Birth and Baby service includes a telephone helpline and a website, providing support to families of children aged up to 5 years. Healthdirect services also include the National Health Services Directory (NHSD), Video Call service and COVID-19 services and tools.
In September 2019, healthdirect and The George Institute for Global Health launched a free online Risk Checker, an online evaluation tool to help Australian consumers check their risk of developing heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFN | WTFN is an Australian production company based in Melbourne. The company produces numerous observational documentary, lifestyle and reality series across many television networks.
History
WTFN was founded by Daryl Talbot and Steve Oemcke in 2001. Talbot, a former journalist for the Bendigo Advertiser, had worked in television for a number of years and produced Postcards for Nine, and Oemcke began at a Channel 8 newsroom in central Victoria, and found fame as a host of the Seven Network’s long-running game show Wheel Of Fortune.
The company's first production was observational series Bread, which broadcast in 2003 on Network Ten, and followed people starting a small business. WTFN quickly gained prominence producing titles that included Coxy's Big Break, Bondi Vet, and The Living Room. Bondi Vet has gone on to be sold in over 100 countries.
In 2012, the company launched international distribution company Fred Media, which represents both WTFN's programs and those from other production houses. The company has signed a number of international content output deals, including a 2011 deal with US based Discovery Communications, a 2012 deal with South African Okhule Media, and a 2014 deal with Chinese broadcaster Tianjin TV. It opened a Los Angeles based office in 2012.
The company received attention in 2012 after the broadcast of McDonalds's Gets Grilled on Seven. The documentary was the recipient of allegations of bias due to it being funded by McDonald's, but WTFN and Seven defended the program, saying that the producers maintained full editorial control over the content.
In 2013, WTFN made a move into producing drama content after acquiring production company The Film Company and appointing its head, Richard Keddie, as WTFN's Director of Drama and Features. WTFN had its first foray into feature films in 2016 with the release of Oddball starring Shane Jacobson, and children's television drama series Larry the Wonderpup in 2018.
WTFN began a succession of Victorian based observational documentary series for Nine Network in 2018 with Paramedics, followed by Emergency which films at The Royal Melbourne Hospital, and Mega Zoo shot across Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo, and Healesville Sanctuary. Other series the company has gone on to produce include MTV American franchise Teen Mom spin-off Teen Mom Australia, Sydney Harbour Force for Discovery, Code 1: Minute by Minute and Police Strike Force for Seven, and decluttering/renovation series Space Invaders for Nine.
WTFN has expanded its distribution capabilities into digital distribution eco-system RADAR MCN, pioneering the concept of "Total Distribution". Radar brings together content production, channel management, content licensing and digital rights protection. The channel network attracts hundreds of millions of viewers across numerous AVOD channels including Youtube, Facebook, Snap, TikTok, Instagram and a range of FAST channels. Radar has been granted Youtube’s CMS affiliation status |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia%20Tech%20Online%20Master%20of%20Science%20in%20Computer%20Science | Georgia Tech Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS) is a Master of Science degree offered by the College of Computing at Georgia Tech. The program was launched in 2014 in partnership with Udacity and AT&T and delivered through the massive open online course (MOOC) format.
Georgia Tech has received attention for offering a full master's degree program for under $7,000 that gives students from all over the world the opportunity to enroll in a top 10-ranked computer science program. The program has been recognized by the University Professional and Continuing Education Association, Fast Company, and the Reimagine Education Awards for excellence and innovation.
Background
The College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology launched its online Master of Science in Computer Science degree in January 2014. The program was conceived by former Dean of Computing Zvi Galil and Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun. OMSCS is delivered through the massive open online course format and is designed to deliver instructional content and academic support via the massive open online course format. The current Dean of Computing, Charles Isbell, helped lead the effort to launch the program as then-senior associate dean.
As of Fall 2021, the program has 11,923 enrolled students located in 120 countries. It admits all applicants deemed to possess a reasonable chance of success—about 74% of the approximately 50,000 applicants to date—which is significantly higher than the university’s on-campus graduate admissions rate. From its creation in 2014 until the end of the Fall 2022, the program has graduated over 8,500 students with 928 degrees awarded in Fall 2022. Research by David Joyner & Charles Isbell found that applications to the on-campus program tripled after the launch of the online program. They also found the program is predominantly populated by domestic students, although the ratio of international students has been growing, and the program enrolls a higher rate of underrepresented minorities than the on-campus program.
The program has received significant media attention since its announcement in May 2013, including a front-page story in The New York Times and a segment on the PBS NewsHour series "Rethinking Education".
Curriculum and culture
As of Spring 2023, the online master's program currently offers 58 courses and five specializations—Computational Perception and Robotics, Computing Systems, Human-Computer Interaction, Interactive Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
A study entitled “Can Online Delivery Increase Access to Education,” by John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University Associate Professor Joshua Goodman, Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts at the Georgia Institute of Technology Associate Professor Julia Melkers, and Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor Amanda Pallais, explored the structure and industry impact of the online master's program and concluded that it supplies the need of “a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai%20Khodataev | Nikolai Petrovich Khodataev (; — 27 December 1979) was a Russian and Soviet artist, sculptor and animator, one of the founders of the Soviet animation industry.
Early years
Nikolai Khodataev was born in the Konstantinovskaya stanitsa (modern-day Konstantinovsk, Rostov Oblast of Russia) where his father Peter Petrovich Khodataev served at the time. His paternal grandmother Agafia Kondratievna Khodataeva, a lonely Russian woman, was seduced by a merchant from the Vladimir Governorate and taken away from her native town. He left her as soon as she became pregnant, so that Peter Khodataev was born as an illegitimate son and raised under his mother's surname. The merchant didn't accept the child and later bought off her with a land and two houses. This allowed Agafia Khodataeva to give her son proper education at the Rostov-on-Don realschule. Peter soon married a local midwife Anna. By the time Nikolai was born, he had made a successful career as a tsarist official and could afford to pay for his son's art lessons.
In 1898 the family moved to Moscow. At the age of 20 Nikolai, who had already decided to study fine art at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, made a trip to the Caucasus in order to train in landscape painting. He was accepted as a student and finished the school in 1918 when it had already been reformed into Vkhutemas by the Soviet government. He continued studying at the architecture department and joined the State Committee for the Preservattion of Ancient Monuments upon graduation.
Career
In 1924 Nikolai Khodataev along with the fellow artists Yuri Merkulov and Zenon Komissarenko were hired by Yakov Protazanov to make sketches for his upcoming science fiction movie Aelita. The three suggested to produce a segment that would've mixed live action with animation, but Protazanov rejected the idea. Khodataev then used his own money to set up an experimental workshop under the State School of Cinematography which became the first animation studio in the USSR. Their 20-minute film Interplanetary Revoluion was one of the first Soviet animated films made as a parody of Aelita and the current political situation. The artists made excessive use of cutout animation (called flat marionettes at the time) along with the constructivism art style that was at its peak in Russia, which resulted in a distinguishable look and feel. The film was a great success.
In 1925 they were hired by the Soviet government to produce China in Flames, another cutout animation critical of European interference in Chinese economy, this time serious in tone and message. Vladimir Suteev along with the young Vkhutemas graduates Ivan Ivanov-Vano and the Brumberg sisters joined the team which led to a variety of art styles. With 1000 meters of film and 14 frames per second it ran over 50 minutes at the time, which made it the first Soviet animated feature film and one of the first in the world.
In 1926 Khodataev moved to Mezhrabpom-Rus where he dir |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20image | Quantum computation, which exploits quantum parallelism, is in principle faster than a classical computer for certain problems.
Quantum image is encoding the image information in quantum-mechanical systems instead of classical ones and replacing classical with quantum information processing may alleviate some of these challenges.
Humans obtain most of their information through their eyes. Accordingly, the analysis of visual data is one of the most important functions of our brain and it has evolved high efficiency in processing visual data. Currently, visual information like images and videos constitutes the largest part of data traffic in the internet. Processing of this information requires ever-larger computational power.
The laws of quantum mechanics allow one to reduce the required resources for some tasks by many orders of magnitude if the image data are encoded in the quantum state of a suitable physical system. The researchers discuss a suitable method for encoding image data, and develop a new quantum algorithm that can detect boundaries among parts of an image with a single logical operation. This edge-detection operation is independent of the size of the image. Several other algorithms are also discussed. It is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that they work in practice. This is the first experiment to demonstrate practical quantum image processing. It contributes a substantial progress towards both theoretical and experimental quantum computing for image processing, it will stimulate future studies in the field of quantum information processing of visual data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian%20Br%C3%A9chot | Christian Bréchot (born 23 July 1952) is a French physician and scientist who has been serving as president of the Global Virus Network (GVN) since 2017. He previously served as president of the Institut Pasteur from 2013 until 2017 and as chief executive officer of the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) from 2001 to 2007.
Professional career
Bréchot is specialized in hepatitis B and C and the mechanisms behind liver cancer. He was appointed director of the Liver Cancer and Molecular Virology Inserm unit (U370) in 1993 and Head of the French National Reference Center for Viral Hepatitis in 1998. In 1997, he became Head of the Hepatology Department at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, a position he has held until 2001. He has also been in charge of the Cell Biology Department at the Necker Faculty of Medicine until 2001.
On February 14, 2001, Bréchot became CEO of Inserm, taking over from Claude Griscelli. From 2008 to 2013, Christian Bréchot served as Vice President of Medical and Scientific Affairs at the Institut Mérieux, an umbrella organization consisting of four companies specializing in the fields of in vitro diagnostics, immunotherapy and food safety/nutrition/health, based in Boston, Lyon and Shanghai. He set up a training and research program for physicians and scientists – the Mérieux Research Grants network –, which offers large-scale, flexible funding for innovative research projects. This led him to develop an international network of prestigious researchers and scientists, especially in Asia and South America. He was also involved in training and education activities in developing and emerging countries. He developed several training programs in the fields of medicine and pure science (as part of the "École de l'Inserm"). He set up the "Inserm Avenir" grant program to help young scientists develop independent research projects.
On March 8, 2013, the Institut Pasteur announced that Bréchot had been appointed as president for a four-year term beginning on October 1, 2013, replacing Alice Dautry. The Institut Pasteur board announced on 24 January 2017 that Christian Bréchot will step down after his 4-year stint ends on 30 September 2017.
Since his arrival, Bréchot's goal has been to preserve the excellence of the institute, and to develop its international presence: "We have to give ourselves the means to recreate a scientific and attractive environment, in order to attract exceptional researchers and to respond to the new public health challenges" (Le Monde).
Research
The main focus of Bréchot's research is viral hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV), in particular their link with liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC), as well as the molecular mechanisms underpinning liver regeneration and cancer (especially the deregulation of the cell cycle). His work combines academic and clinical approaches in molecular virology and cell biology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20medicine | Digital medicine refers to the application of advanced digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, to improve patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. It involves the integration of technology and medicine to facilitate the creation, storage, analysis, and dissemination of health information, with the aim of enhancing clinical decision-making, improving patient care, and reducing costs.
Digital medicine encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including techbio, healthtech, and biomedical engineering. It involves the use of digital tools and platforms to collect, store, and analyze patient data, including electronic health records, genomic data, and medical imaging. This data can then be used to develop new analytics and treatment approaches, personalize healthcare interventions, and optimize healthcare delivery.
Digital medicine is evidence-based, and its approach is rooted in rigorous scientific research and clinical evidence. It is designed to augment and complement traditional medical practices, providing physicians and other healthcare professionals with the tools and resources they need to make more informed decisions and provide better care to patients.
Differentiation from similar disciplines
Digital medicine is sometimes confused with similar disciplines, including the broader category of digital health, as well as digital therapeutics, another digital health subset. Digital health offerings use digital technologies to enhance human health in some capacity but often lacking the required evidence base to qualify as digital medicine. Within this broader category, programs that include a prescription medication with an ingestible sensor component are considered digital medicines. By contrast, digital therapeutics are associated mainly with web-based health management tools and stand-alone health apps, generally without a prescription medication element.
Approval pathways
The ingestible sensor component associated with digital medicines was originally approved in 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the Center for Devices and Radiological Health via a de novo pathway for novel, low-risk medical devices. This approval has been accompanied by FDA 510(k) clearances. The ingestible sensor is CE marked in Europe. A New Drug Application for the first fully integrated pharmaceutical with ingestible sensor component, Otsuka Pharmaceutical's ABILIFY MYCITE® (aripiprazole with Proteus ingestible sensor), was approved by the FDA in November 2017.
With its approval of the digital pill, the FDA confirmed that the review of digital medicines includes assessment of the ingestible device component, and that no additional safety and efficacy data is required for the original pharmaceutical.
Indications
Digital medicines are being used for a variety of conditions in commercial and clinical settings. Medications with ingestible sensors are being prescribed in the treatment ar |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade%20Runner%20Black%20Out%202022 | Blade Runner Black Out 2022 is a 2017 tech-noir cyberpunk anime short film directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and animated by Cygames Pictures. The short is one of three short films, (with 2036: Nexus Dawn and 2048: Nowhere to Run) that serve as prequels to the live-action film Blade Runner 2049. It debuted on 27 September 2017 on Crunchyroll.
Plot
Three years after the events of Blade Runner, the Tyrell Corporation has developed the new Nexus-8 line of replicants. The models possess open-ended lifespans, like those of humans. Unrest ensues.
A replicant named Trixie, is assaulted by human thugs. She is rescued by Iggy, a replicant ex-soldier from the planet Calanthe, who deserted after he learned that the enemy were also replicants. He recruits Trixie into an underground freedom replicant movement which sets out to sabotage Tyrell's database and internet tracking, so that replicants cannot be so easily hunted.
Trixie then befriends Ren, a sympathetic human technician in charge of launching nuclear missiles. He agrees to redirect a test missile to detonate over Los Angeles. This will black out the city and, with an electromagnetic pulse, wipe out all electronic data. Trixie and Iggy set out to physically destroy the Tyrell Corporation's servers. Trixie dies in the attempt but the mission succeeds. Servers powering the internet are destroyed and power to Los Angeles is disabled, permanently. Iggy escapes. He removes his right eye, which can identify him as a replicant.
A global collapse follows. All replicant production scientific activity ends. Tyrell goes bankrupt. The Wallace Corporation acquires Tyrell and restarts production of a new model a decade later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP%20Converged%20Cloud | SAP Converged Cloud is a private managed cloud developed and marketed by SAP.
It is a set of cloud computing services that offer managed private cloud, based on the OpenStack technology-based public cloud. It is used by SAP's organization for their own internal IT resources to create a mix of different cloud computing environments made up of the OpenStack services.
It offers compute, storage, and platform services that are accessible to SAP.
History
In 2012, SAP promoted aspects of cloud computing. In October 2012, SAP announced a platform as a service called the SAP Cloud Platform.
In May 2013, a managed private cloud called the S/4HANA Enterprise Cloud service was announced.
SAP Converged Cloud was announced in January 2015. SAP Converged Cloud is managed under The Converged Cloud unit, an SAP business unit established in 2015 headed by Markus Riedinger as Unit manager.
The Converged Cloud BETA went live in May 2017, included OpenStack technology-based storage, compute network components, and shared new services made by SAP: Later, Designate (DNS as a Service) was added as well.
In 2020, SAP donated spare GPUs and CPUs from its cloud data center to Folding@Home to aid in their COVID-19 research efforts.
Cloud computing challenges
Moving between clouds
Business organizations that want to use cloud computing have a choice of using a private cloud, which is a cloud infrastructure run specifically for a single organization that it built itself or by a third party, or a public cloud, whereby a service provider makes available applications, storage, and other resources to the general public. The decision of which to use is based on a number of factors, such as whether the company operates in a highly regulated sector, such as the pharmaceuticals industry that must comply with rules regarding the control and security of data, or if the business must bring services to market quickly, such as a web applications developer.
Employing a hybrid delivery cloud strategy lets organizations use different cloud delivery services for specific applications.
There can be different types of hybrid clouds for specific tasks. The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model can be a hybrid cloud in that it uses operating systems and virtualization technologies from both public and private cloud infrastructure to provide cloud services. Other models that combine on-premises cloud with public cloud technologies include Platform as a Service (PaaS), which combines infrastructure services with development tools and middleware; and Software as a Service (SaaS), which is used to develop packaged software.
However, moving data in the cloud can be a difficult procedure. In the case of Software as a Service (SaaS), it is difficult, particularly if the incumbent cloud provider used proprietary software, or if it altered an open source application.
A way to mitigate cloud migration difficulties is to architect applications for the cloud that reduce or eliminate the d |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio%20Algebra%20FX%20Series | The Casio Algebra FX series was a line of graphing calculators manufactured by Casio Computer Co., Ltd from 1999 to 2003. They were the successor models to the CFX-9970G, the first Casio calculator with computer algebra system, or CAS, a program for symbolic manipulation of mathematical expressions. The calculators were discontinued and succeeded by the Casio ClassPad 300 in 2003.
History
In 1999, Casio released a graphing calculator Algebra FX 2.0. The modified model Algebra FX 2.0 Plus was released in 2001 with additional functionalities in the financial calculation, statistics, and differential equations. The calculators were designed for usages in the classroom, where target markets were students and educators. They were aimed at helping students learn to solve algebra problems, where step-by-step solutions could be auto-generated.
The Algebra FX series was the successor of the CFX-9970G, the first Casio calculator with computer algebra system (CAS) released in 1998. The computer algebra system in the Algebra FX series had been largely improved from the previous model so that more mathematical functions were added. The Casio's CAS was mainly developed by its R&D team and Professor John Kenelly of Clemson University.
The calculators were sold to different parts of the world. Casio had used different product names in France, following their French predecessors. The Graph 100 and the Graph 100+ were respectively the Algebra FX 2.0 and the Algebra FX 2.0 Plus. The Algebra FX 2.0 Plus was discontinued in 2003 and succeeded by the Casio ClassPad series, where the calculators have stylus-based touch screens. However, the Graph 100+ was continued to be sold in France until 2015, a time when Casio removed the product from its website.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare%20in%20Angola | Healthcare in Angola consists of a network of hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries.
Description
The National Health Service in Angola is run by the Ministry of Health, the Provincial Governments run Provincial Hospitals and the Municipal Administrations run Municipal Hospitals, Health Care Units and Posts. The Municipal Administrations are leading the primary healthcare network.
Services are free, since independence in 1975, but very limited in rural areas. Medicine is regulated by the General Health Inspection and the National Directorate of Health which manage the National List of Essential Medicines. Medicinal products are regulated by the National Pricing System. Tendering for medical products is run by the Centralized Medicine Purchase Authority which also distributes medicine.
Staffing
Due to the length of the Angolan Civil War, nearly an entire generation of Angolans was not given the opportunity to receive any education. This has led to a dramatic decrease of health workers and added to the poor maternal health problem. In response to the shortage of health workers, Cuban physicians are currently working in the country to improve health overall, as well as to focus on improving maternal health.
The health care system has felt the social effects of the War. Due to the large number of people who were unable to receive an education during the War, today, educated medical personnel, administrators, and other needed positions in the governmental system are not able to be filled. The population of Angola has lost nearly an entire generation of educated personnel. It was estimated in 2012 that there were about 0.08 physicians per 1,000 people in Angola.
Operation
Some improvements were made after the end of the Civil War. According to UNICEF reports in 2005, 2% of the nation's public expenditures were allotted to health care. That number increased after 2005. Larger problems include the shortage of doctors, the destruction of health care facilities throughout the country, and disparities between rural and urban primary care availability. Public spending on health decreased after 2014. The free public health system was still described as severely underfunded and understaffed in 2020. The medical technology and infrastructure is outdated and the system is difficult to access, so both locals and expatriates opt for private healthcare. Private healthcare insurance often has cover for emergency evacuation to better healthcare facilities in South Africa or other neighbouring countries.
The Clínica Multiperfil in Luanda, although publicly owned, was granted special status by former President José Eduardo dos Santos, and is allowed to charge for care. Most of its patients are insured politicians and members of the military.
Hospitals cannot always provide prescribed medication and patients may have to buy this, and some medical supplies, privately.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway%20network | In machine learning, the Highway Network was the first working very deep feedforward neural network with hundreds of layers, much deeper than previous artificial neural networks.
It uses skip connections modulated by learned gating mechanisms to regulate information flow, inspired by Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent neural networks.
The advantage of a Highway Network over the common deep neural networks is that it solves or partially prevents the vanishing gradient problem, thus leading to easier to optimize neural networks.
The gating mechanisms facilitate information flow across many layers ("information highways").
Highway Networks have been used as part of text sequence labeling and speech recognition tasks.
An open-gated or gateless Highway Network variant called Residual neural network was used to win the ImageNet 2015 competition. This has become the most cited neural network of the 21st century.
Model
The model has two gates in addition to the H(WH, x) gate: the transform gate T(WT, x) and the carry gate C(WC, x). Those two last gates are non-linear transfer functions (by convention Sigmoid function). The H(WH, x) function can be any desired transfer function.
The carry gate is defined as C(WC, x) = 1 - T(WT, x). While the transform gate is just a gate with a sigmoid transfer function.
Structure
The structure of a hidden layer follows the equation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson%20Sound%20%28New%20Zealand%29 | Thompson Sound (; officially Te Awa-o-Tū / Thompson Sound) is a fiord of the South Island of New Zealand. It is one of the fiords that form the coast of Fiordland.
Geography
{ "type": "ExternalData", "service": "geoshape", "ids": "Q16511508", "properties": { "fill": "#0050d0"}}
The fiord is connected at its farthest extent with Pendulo Reach, part of Doubtful Sound / Patea, and between them Thompson and Doubtful Sounds form the non-Tasman Sea coast of Secretary Island. It is 21 kilometres in length. Kaikiekie / Bradshaw Sound, which extends east from the junction of Doubtful and Thompson Sounds, is geographically and geologically an extension of Thompson Sound. Several small rivers flow into Thompson Sound, among them the Pandora and Namu Rivers.
History
Thompson Sound was given its European name by John Grono, a sealer who worked the Fiordland coast in the early 19th century, after his boat's owner, Andrew Thompson. Grono himself is honoured in the name of the 1196-metre Mount Grono, the highest point on Secretary Island. Later surveyor Captain John Stokes incorrectly thought that the sound had been named after Colonial Secretary Edward Deas Thomson, and named an indentation in the sound's Secretary Island coast as Deas Cove. In October 2019, the name of the fiord was officially altered to Te Awa-o-Tū / Thompson Sound.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirSage | AirSage is an American telecommunications company that specializes in collecting and analyzing anonymous location data, such as cell phone and GPS data, to identify patterns. It does so by tracking mobile phone data using patented technology to capture and analyze mobile phone signal tower data, primarily for the purposes of aiding transportation planning and traffic reporting. It currently works with the out-of-home advertising startup Vistar, which uses AirSage's cell phone data to create a map of consumer behavior in the United States.
History
AirSage was established in 2000 by Cy Smith, and is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It later developed a technology to use anonymized cell phone data as "traffic probes" to monitor traffic patterns. The company's first client to use their mobile-phone based traffic monitoring technology was the Virginia Department of Transportation, which began using it in the summer of 2005. Later that year, the company signed an agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to provide the agency with the same technology; the GDOT began using it in early 2006. Later in 2006, AirSage partnered with Sprint Nextel Corp. to offer the same service to Sprint's government subscribers in real time.
In 2017, the company announced that Michael Cascone would become its new president and CEO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathalie%20Magnan | Nathalie Magnan (November 29, 1956 – October 15, 2016) was a media theoretician and activist, a cyber-feminist, and a film director. She taught at both universities and art schools, and is known for initiating projects linking Internet activism and sailing with the Sailing for Geeks project. She also co-organised the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in 1984. She died at home of breast cancer.
Education
After graduating with a Bachelor of Art degree at the University of Nanterre, Paris X, she continued her studies in the United States and obtained a Master of Fine Arts at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, where she met Catherine Lord, Mario Biagioli, Skuta Helgason and Lisa Bloom. She obtained a Qualifying Exam at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she met Teresa de Lauretis, who was working in the Women Studies department. In History of Consciousness, she met James Clifford and Donna Haraway, who took her as her assistant.
Teaching
She started her teaching career as lecturer at the University of California, Northridge and Chapman University in Orange, where she taught an introductory class on photography during the 1984–85 school year. She was assistant professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz from 1986 to 1990, where she taught media studies, cultural studies and the history of photography.
Upon returning to France, she sought to share her American experiences in her teachings, films, publications and events that she organised and participated in.
University of Paris VIII. In 1998 she became a full professor at the École nationale supérieure d'art in Dijon. In 2007, Paul Devautour invited her to come teach at the École nationale supérieure d'art in Bourges, where she taught until 2012. One of her classes entitled, Genre, which she gave in association with Giovanna Zapperi, was thought of as a space for pedagogical innovations within which she organised a lecture series with C. Lord, Paul Preciado, Shu Lea Chang, Yann Beauvais, Patrick Cardon.... In 2012, she invited A-LI-CE6 (Claire Fristot) to give a VJing workshop. She established links and exchanges with Luang Prabang (Entr'écoles, 2008 and 2010) and with the University of California in Irvine (CRUde1 in the US and CRUde2 in France). In Bourges, she created collaborations with Emmetrop and also with Bandits Mages. Her teachings focus on the analysis and critique of media on a feminist, queer and postcolonial point of view. More than transmitting knowledge, she wants to create a method, a trans-disciplinary process that leads to the conquest of autonomy.
Media theory
A media theorist and activist, she published two books translated from English and German into French : La Vidéo : entre art et communication, followed by Connexions : arts, réseaux, médias, with Annick Bureaud. She managed the French distribution lists Nettime and CEDAR, the coordination of all French art schools.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starmaster%20%28play-by-mail%20game%29 | Starmaster is a computer-moderated play-by-mail game that was published and administered by Schubel & Son.
History
Richard Lloyd designed the game of StarMaster beginning in late 1979. Lloyd was involved as Game Designer for the next twelve years. In May 1992, Lloyd decided that the game had been putting unacceptable strain on his personal life and his "regular job" during that period, and decided with his colleague, Allen, to end the game for at least a year, without licensing the game to another company. In a note to StarMaster players in Paper Mayhem, a magazine for play-by-mail gamers, Lloyd left open the possibility of restarting the game as a fully computerized version in the future.
Gameplay
Starmaster was a strategic science fiction play-by-mail game that included space exploration, colonization of worlds, and diplomacy or combat with other races encountered. The premise of the game was that new races that achieve "faster-than-light" space travel would naturally explore and colonize neighbouring star systems, and eventually encounter other developing races.
On a beginning player's first turn, the player was given 300 points to design a new race, with each physical advantage costing a certain number of points. (Fangs cost more than mandibles, which in turn cost more than teeth.) Players not wanting to try insectoid, reptile, avian or other exotic races could choose to start with a basic human costing 300 points; they could then customize the race by adding advanced abilities (telepathy for 90 points, for example), while removing ordinary human abilities in order to keep the racial score under 300 points. Other options included whether the race was hive mind, or organized into a caste system that included several very different life forms. The player would also make basic decisions about the size and climate of their home planet.
Having established their race, the player's new home world was then placed near the edge of the galactic map, with other "new" races, so they would have a chance to explore nearby star systems in their "neighbourhood" before encountering some of the more experienced players closer to the galactic centre.
Turns were moderated by a computer. The cost in 1980 was $10 for the rulebook and the first three turns. The cost of each subsequent turn was $2.50. However, since space battles, trade activities, colonies' actions and any special activities each counted as a turn, reviewer Bill Fawcett noted that "someone playing Starmaster actively for a year could shell out a small fortune."
In 1980, Starmaster had more than 2000 active players.
Reception
In the May–June 1980 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 28), Stefan Jones found the ongoing cost of the game to be high, but thought that "the game is worth the money; it is entertaining and well run. For many, however, money is better spent elsewhere. I recommend Starmaster to anyone who enjoys SF gaming and play-by-mail games.".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%20Trek | Time Trek is a Star Trek computer game published by Personal Software in 1978. Two similar but unrelated games were published under this brand in 1978, one for the Commodore PET by Brad Templeton and one programmed by Joshua Lavinsky for the TRS-80 4K Level I or Level II microcomputer.
Plot summary
Time Trek is a real-time Star Trek-style game in which the Enterprise must eliminate the Klingons before they can destroy all the starbases.
Reception
J. Mishcon reviewed Time Trek in The Space Gamer No. 28. Mishcon commented that "the real-time aspect of the game and the aggressive tactics of the damn Klingons make this game quite exciting. For those into hand-eye coordination and fast action, Time Trek will be enjoyable." In his 80-US review of Space Battle, "One of the best space war games available", Geo Blank compared the game to Time Trek, commenting that "The extra control makes Time Trek a better action game."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B8lmer%E2%80%93S%C3%B8rensen%20gate | In quantum computing, Mølmer–Sørensen gate scheme (or MS gate) refers to an implementation procedure for various multi-qubit quantum logic gates used mostly in trapped ion quantum computing. This procedure is based on the original proposition by Klaus Mølmer and Anders Sørensen in 1999-2000.
This proposal was an alternative to the 1995 Cirac–Zoller controlled-NOT gate implementation for trapped ions, which requires that the system be restricted to the joint motional ground state of the ions.
In an MS gate, entangled states are prepared by illuminating ions with a bichromatic light field. Mølmer and Sørensen identified two regimes in which this is possible:
A weak-field regime, where single-photon absorption is suppressed and two-photon processes interfere in a way that makes internal state dynamics insensitive to the vibrational state
A strong-field regime where the individual ions are coherently excited, and the motional state is highly entangled with the internal state until all undesirable excitations are deterministically removed toward the end of the interaction.
In both regimes, a red and blue sideband interaction are applied simultaneously to each ion, with the red and blue tones symmetrically detuned by from the sidebands. This results in laser detunings , where is the motional mode frequency.
When an MS gate is applied globally to all ions in a chain, multipartite entanglement is created, with the form of the gate being a sum of local XX (or YY, or XY depending on experimental parameters) interactions applied to all qubit pairs. When the gate is performed on a single pair of ions, it reduces to the RXX gate. Thus, the CNOT gate can be decomposed into an MS gate and combination of single particle rotations.
History
Trapped ions were identified by Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller at the University of Innsbruck, Austria in 1995, as the first realistic system with which to implement a quantum computer, in a proposal which included a procedure for implementing a CNOT gate by coupling ions through their collective motion. A major drawback of Cirac and Zoller's scheme was that it required the trapped ion system to be restricted to its joint motional ground state, which is difficult to achieve experimentally. The Cirac-Zoller CNOT gate was not experimentally demonstrated with two ions until 8 years later, in 2003, with a fidelity of 70-80%. Around 1998, there was a collective effort to develop two-qubit gates independent of the motional state of individual ions, one of which was the scheme proposed by Klaus Mølmer and Anders Sørensen in Aarhus University, Denmark.
In 1999, Mølmer and Sørensen proposed a native multi-qubit trapped ion gate as an alternative to Cirac and Zoller's scheme, insensitive to the vibrational state of the system and robust against changes in the vibrational number during gate operation. Mølmer and Sørensen's scheme requires only that the ions be in the Lamb-Dicke regime, and it produces an Ising-like inter |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchLabs | ArchLabs Linux is a lightweight rolling release Linux distribution based on a minimal Arch Linux operating system with the Openbox window manager. ArchLabs is inspired by BunsenLabs.
Features
The ArchLabs distribution contains a text-based installer, "AL-Installer" as its installation method, as well as baph, an AUR helper. The installer gives the user the ability to choose from 16 different assorted Desktop Environments and Window Managers as well as a selection of extra software, Linux Kernels, Display Managers and shells.
History
Initial releases used the Calamares installer. Early versions of ArchLabs started to become bloated with many unnecessary applications and programs. This sparked a change in direction. A slim down of the ISO size from over 2Gb in size down to approximately 580mb made download times a lot quicker.
Mínimo was the first of this minimal release with a change from the traditional Openbox panel, Tint2 to Polybar. Also introduced in this release was the original welcome script, named "AL-Hello" which was a nod to the "brother" distribution BunsenLabs. Mínimo was also the final release to have a release name, following releases followed a numbering pattern of YYYY.MM.
2018.02 release brought a new and improved AL-Hello welcome script and many additions and refining to the ArchLabs experience.
2018.07 saw more improvements to the newly written AL-Installer.
With the release of 2018.12 came the removal of the live environment and the post install script "AL-Hello". Options for choosing desktops and window managers as well as a selection of apps have been added to AL-Installer (ALI). Also introduced in this 2018.12 release was the in house AUR (Arch User Repository) Helper, baph (Basic AUR Package Helper).
2019.10.29 was ArchLabs third release for 2019 (After 2019.1.20 & 2019.10.28). Many changes were made including additional desktop environments and window managers added to the installer. Most notably, awesomewm and jwm.
ArchLabs first release of 2022 brought with it a new custom Window Manager called dk. Also included is a custom panel and menu for the Sway Window Manager called nwg-shell.
The ArchLabs installer now includes 16 assorted Desktop Environments and Window Managers, such as i3, dwm, bspwm, LXQt, jwm, XFCE, Awesome, Fluxbox, KDE Plasma, Deepin, Gnome, and Cinnamon. Most are installed as the developer intended with no customisation. Openbox, awesomewm, dk and Sway are the only customised environments supplied by the ArchLabs installer.
Matthew Dobson announced that 2023.06.07 would be the final release.
Release history
The current release of ArchLabs Linux is "2023.06.07" , which was released on 8 June 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cram%20%28Australian%20game%20show%29 | Cram (stylised as CRAM!) was an Australian game show hosted by Peter Helliar, which premiered on Network Ten on 2 November 2017 until 14 December 2017.
The premiere was negatively received by viewers, with ratings dwindling as the season progressed and the show rating outside of the top 20 shows of the day for the season finale.
On 9 November 2017, Channel Ten announced at their yearly upfronts event that the show would return for a second season in 2018, after only one episode of the first season had aired. However, a second season never materialised.
The first season did not secure a spot in the top 100 watched free-to-air shows in 2017.
Format
The format pits two teams of comedians and celebrities tested on their memories across general knowledge categories. Each category will be introduced with a “cram”: a brief video on any subject. The team that recalls the most facts is the winner. The teams are captained by comedian Dilruk Jayasinha and actress Virginia Gay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zafari | ZAFARI is an international computer-animated children's television series created by David Dozoretz. ZAFARI premiered in July 2018 on FranceTV, NatGeoKids in Latin America, Rai Yoyo in Italy, Sony's TinyPOP network in the UK, Spacetoon in the Middle East, and is being distributed worldwide by NBCUniversal/DreamWorks. It is also airing on Amazon Prime Video worldwide and was a launch title on NBCUniversal's new streaming network Peacock.
Premise
Every once in a while, Mother Nature creates animals that are born different. In ZAFARI, one of them, a young African bush elephant named Zoomba who is magically born with zebra stripes, is shunned from his herd as they feel he's bad luck. He goes to live with other one-of-a-kind animals in a valley at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. There, Zoomba learns he is perfect just the way he is, a lesson that he will eventually take back to his herd and the rest of the world.
Set in a valley at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, the series follows the story of Zoomba, a young elephant with zebra stripes, and Quincy, a place intelligent tarsier who is often misclassified as a monkey, Pokey, a giraffe with peacock feathers, Babatua, a mandrill with penguin feathers, Antonio, a pink flamingo-colored lion, and dozens more. ZAFARI teaches kids that our differences should not just be tolerated, but celebrated. ZAFARI stars the voices of Mark Camacho, Holly Gauthier-Frankel, Brian Froud.
ZAFARI is the first television show created in a real-time game engine, Epic's Unreal 4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet%20X2O | Jet X2O is a watercraft racing and stunt performance game that was developed by Killer Game and published by Sony Computer Entertainment.
The game involves the player racing a jetski on various courses while maneuvering the vehicle around various obstacles. Unlike similar games like those in the Wave Race series, however, Jet X2O also places emphasis on performing tricks (which is a hallmark of many winter sports video games, including the SSX series).
Despite the game's title, the game is not considered a spin-off of the Jet Moto series.
Gameplay
Jet X2O has several gameplay modes:
World Tour: The player completes a series of a predetermined number of races (which consist of six competitors per race) at all venues in order; four races are done on the Amateur difficulty, which then increases to six on Pro and eight on Expert, respectively. In order to advance to the next race, the player must accumulate enough standings points; this is determined by a combination of trick score and fastest time. After the end of each, the player is given the opportunity to increase their watercraft's attributes. Once the Amateur and Pro seasons are completed, two additional venues are unlocked. Completing the Amateur season unlocks another generic watercraft (and if necessary another character), while completing the Pro season unlocks a particular character's signature watercraft. Additional items, like watercraft decals and alternate outfits, can also be unlocked by completing this mode on Expert difficulty. In order to unlock everything, this mode must be completed 24 times (three for each character).
Single Event: The player can select any venue that is already unlocked to participate in one event. Three event types are available:
Combo Mode: A race between six competitors which is determined by a combination of trick score and fastest time.
Trick Mode: A single-competitor event where the player is allowed an initial time of two minutes to complete as many tricks as possible. Completing a series of tricks adds time to the clock; the maximum time that can be added for each trick combination is one minute. Multiplier pickups (x2, x3, and x5) are available on some of the ramps. The event ends when time runs out or the finish line is crossed, whichever comes first.
Race Mode: A single-competitor or dual-competitor event where the player(s) have to go through a series of booster gates.
There is also a practice mode known as Big Wave.
The turbo meter is an important aspect of the game; performing tricks correctly and going through booster gates increases the amount of turbo that is available, while failing any tricks decreases it. When two tricks are performed, the trick score is multiplied by 1.5; when three or more tricks are performed, the multiplier is one whole number less than the number of tricks performed. Once the turbo meter reaches the "Mega" level, the player has a limited amount of time to perform any special tricks.
