https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze%20Craze | Maze Craze: A Game of Cops n’ Robbers is a 4K cartridge for the Atari Video Computer System (later renamed the Atari 2600) developed by Rick Maurer and published by Atari, Inc. in 1980. In Maze Craze, two players compete to be the first to escape a randomly generated, top-down maze. Though primarily a two player game, any of the variations that don't involve interaction with the second player can be played solo. Sears re-titled Maze Craze as Maze Mania for its Tele-Games system.
Gameplay
The manual describes the situation as a "maze of city blocks" and the player a red or blue cop on patrol. The cops are represented as squares. The goal is to reach the exit. In multiplayer games, the first player to find their way out wins.
Some variants add robber blocks to the maze which either need to be avoided or captured, depending. Others make the maze either partially or fully invisible, and maze is periodically revealed for a moment or only when the joystick button is pressed. In the "Blockcade" variant, each player can drop a false wall to trick the other player. There are settings to increase or decrease the speed of the cops and robbers and the number of robbers in the maze.
Development
Maurer had been working on a clone of Space Invaders for the VCS, but because no one at Atari seemed interested in it, he looked for a new project. He took inspiration from the Fairchild Channel F Maze cartridge by Mike Glass, resulting in Maze Craze. He later completed his version of Space Invaders, which was officially licensed from Taito and became the killer app for the console.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyuwathayi | The Nyuwathayi (Njuwathai) were an indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland.
They may have spoken the Yinwum language, based on their location, but there is no data.
Country
The extent of Nyuwathai lands has been estimated to encompass some , primarily around the Middle Wenlock river.
By the time Ursula McConnel did her ethnographic surveys in the late 1920s and 30s, it appeared that the Nyuwathai gathered with the Atjinuri and Yinwum at the Moreton Telegraph Station.

At the temple, Cole accidentally uses the Yin Blade to open a portal to the Departed Realm, thereby releasing the spirits of the ninjas' old enemies, which include Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen and Morro, who |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason%20Jixuan%20Hu | Jason Jixuan Hu, (born 1957 in Kunming, PRC.) is a Chinese American cyberneticist, independent scholar and managing director of WINTOP Organizational Learning Laboratory, and organizer/facilitator of the Club of Remy(Youtube Channel). He is noted for his work on "cognitive capacity in human communication, conflict resolution and cooperation solicitation," and on view on distance education in America.
Biography
Born in Kunming, Yunnan, Hu obtained his B. Sc. from Heilongjiang Institute of Commerce, in Electronic Engineering in 1981, became a Certified System Engineer by Sino-Japanese Software Developing Center in System Dynamics Modeling in 1985, and obtained his Ph.D. from The George Washington University, with a primary focus in Management & Organizations and secondary focus in Philosophy of Social Sciences (1995);
Hu came to the US in 1986 as a visiting scholar to study Cybernetics and System Science, back to China in 1988 and left PRC after what happened on June 4, 1989 in Tiananmen Square. He became an American citizen after September 11, 2001. After a diversified career path spanning from research and teaching, entrepreneurship and senior management, training and consulting, he is currently an independent researcher and managing director of WINTOP Organizational Learning Laboratory, a consulting-training partnership based on Phoenix, Arizona, USA., and organizes an international intellectual discussion club, the Club of Remy (clubofremy.org). Hu is a lifetime member of American Society for Cybernetics and initialized CYBCOM forum in 1993, a listserv now evolved into a Google Group. He has traveled extensively in 30+ countries and studied 9 major religions. His teaching/training/consulting experiences involve organizations in U.S., China, Hong Kong, Austria, Japan and Thailand. He speaks Mandurian and English proficiently, with limited conversational capacity in German and Japanese.
Work
Hu's inquiries can be classified into three periods:
His early work (1982–1993) focused on social problem-identification due to his overwhelming experience with the severe social pathologies in PRC caused by communism as well as by the unhealthy elements of the Chinese traditions. His inquiry about what's wrong in the society of China started at his teenager years during the notorious "cultural revolution" stirred up by Mao.
His mid-term work (1993–2009) were social-solution oriented, focusing on a new communication theory, large-scale education model, and grassroot participation model, and his scope of concern expanded from the country of China to the country of the United States, and to the sustainability issues of the whole planet.
Hu's latest work (2010–current) is to establish a theory of the evolution of our civilization based on a synthesis of the cultural gene hypothesis with the multi-layer self-organization theory, which is his extension of classic (single-step) self-organization theories (e.g. of Ashby, Von Foerster, Prigogine & Hake |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis%20E.%20Taylor | Dennis E. Taylor is a Canadian novelist and former computer programmer known for his large scale hard science fiction stories exploring the interaction between artificial intelligence and the human condition.
Career
While working at his day job as a computer programmer, Taylor self-published his first novel and began working with an agent to try to publish his second novel We Are Legion. However, Taylor still had difficulty getting any publishing house to take on his work, and eventually published it through his agent's in-house publishing arm. An audiobook rights deal with Audible was also reached. Once recorded, We Are Legion became one of the most popular audiobooks on the service and was awarded Best Science Fiction Audiobook of the year.
Taylor has been noted as one of many popular authors that debut their work in audio form rather than print to take advantage of the explosive growth of the audio medium.
Taylor's 2018 novel The Singularity Trap as well as his 2020 novel Heaven's River debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List for Fiction Audiobooks.
In September 2020, Taylor released his sixth novel Heaven's River, a sequel in the "Bobiverse" series. The new novel follows a loose thread from the earlier novels involving the Bob clone named "Bender", who had disappeared mysteriously many years before and prompts a galaxy-spanning search.
Major themes
Taylor's "Bobiverse" series explore how technologies like cryonics, mind uploading and artificial intelligence might change the society and the human condition. Another major topic is global catastrophic risk, which is also featured in Outland and The Singularity Trap.
The Stern magazine praised Taylor's distinctive humour style, often based on nerdy inside jokes and references.
Recognition
Taylor's works have been translated to several languages, including Japanese, German, French and Polish.
The We Are Legion (We Are Bob) novel was a finalist of the 2019 Seiun Awards.
In October 2018, Taylor was added to the X-Prize Foundation Science Fiction Advisory Council as a "Visionary Storyteller". This group of accomplished science fiction authors help advise the X-Prize team on envisioning the future.
In May 2019, Taylor was invited by Google to one of the "Talks at Google" where he gave some insight into what inspired his writings, and what his plans are for the next few years.
Personal life
Taylor lives near Vancouver, Canada with his wife and daughter. He enjoys snowboarding and mountain biking when he isn't writing or traveling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren%20Gergle | Darren Robert Gergle (born 2 December 1972) is an American Professor in Communication Studies and Computer Science (by courtesy) at Northwestern University. He currently holds the AT&T Research Professorship in Communication at Northwestern University where he directs the Collaborative Technology Lab (CollabLab). The locus of his research centers on human-computer interaction and social computing. He focuses on the application of cognitive and social psychological theories to the design, development and evaluation of ground breaking communication technologies. His work is supported through grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, National Science Foundation, Google, Microsoft Research and Facebook.
Early life and education
Darren Gergle was born on December 2, 1972 to parents Robert and Barbara Gergle. He is the youngest of three children. He is married to Tracy Lynn Zawaski. He graduated from the University of Michigan in December, 1995 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking and Sculpture. Six years later he attained his Masters of Science in Information (Human Computer Interaction). In 2006, he achieved his Doctor of Philosophy in Human Computer Interaction from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.Northwestern University, Communication Studies Department, hired him as an Assistant Professor in 2006 where he lectured for ten years. In 2015, he was appointed Professor of the same university where he currently lectures Technology and Human Interaction; Community Building Software; Applied Research Methods for Media and Technology and Python for Social Scientists. He is also currently the director of the CollabLab, a research facility where researchers explore how humans and computers interact in technologically-mediated environments.
Research
Gergle’s research is primarily based upon a multi-dimensional investigation of variable attributes of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This encompasses visual information processing, social information processing, and collaborations. In his doctoral dissertation, he investigated the impact that shared visual information has on task-oriented collaboration. These findings built the foundation for further research. New technologies can be designed with in depth understanding of “the ways in which shared visual information influences collaborative performance”. Usability for the Web: Designing Web Sites That Work is a book which Gergle co-authored. He applied principles of design theory and visual information processing to guide web designers in using a systematic website design model where the user’s needs are the focal point.
In 2003, he investigated the impact of the size of displays on comprehension and spatial tasks. This ignited further research. In 2004, investigations into whether physically large displays can improve path integration in 3D virtual navigation tasks were conducted. He explored collaborative systems furth |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Australian%20television%20ratings%20for%202001 | The Australian television landscape had changed significantly by the end of 2001, with television ratings data switching suppliers, from The Nielsen Company (formerly, Ac.Nielsen) to industry owned, OzTam, which would be the sole provider of weekly ratings and yearly television archives to present day. The Nielson company was instead relegated to ratings of regional areas and PayTV (which at the time, was at its infancy). Moreover, in 2001, Seven Network ended its 46-year-association with the Australian Football League (AFL) despite being a considerable ratings success for the network, the program would ultimately be broadcast by Network Ten for the following 10 years, eventually reverting to the Seven Network in 2012.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-5%20%28series%201%29 | The first series of the children's television series Hi-5 aired between 12 April 1999 and 11 June 1999 on the Nine Network in Australia. The series was produced by Kids Like Us for Nine with Kris Noble as executive producer.
Production
Creator Helena Harris initially conceived Hi-5 in 1998 along with co-producer Posie Graeme-Evans, developing the series as entertainment for preschoolers. During her time living in England, Harris realised that children are the same around the world, and was inspired to create a children's series which would appeal globally. The creators believed that pre-schoolers were rapidly maturing beyond programs such as Here's Humphrey, and discovered that most children learned from shows which incorporated movement and song. They saw the need for television which was "life affirming", and believed that a child's imagination could be activated by television of good quality. The name of the series was derived from the high five gesture.
Harris and Graeme-Evans pitched Hi-5 to the Nine Network through Kids Like Us, their joint independent production company. After auditions for the cast were held in June 1998, a pilot was produced, and shown to a test audience. No changes to the format were made after this test. The original cast consisted of Kellie Crawford (née Hoggart), Kathleen de Leon Jones, Nathan Foley, Tim Harding and Charli Robinson, who were aged between 19 and 25 at the time of the series' airing. After being commissioned, the first full series began production in October, and went to air on Nine in 1999. The series was produced for US$20,000 to US$30,000 for each episode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elle%20Moxley | Elle Moxley (formerly Elle Hearns, born 1986/1987) is an American transgender rights activist. She co-founded the Black Lives Matter Global Network, where she served as a strategic partner and organizing coordinator, and founded The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, where she serves as executive director.
Early life and education
Moxley was born in Columbus, Ohio. She grew up in a single-parent home with two sisters. She struggled being raised as a "little black boy who was existentially trapped in a boy’s body, but was definitely very much so female." Before discovering that she was transgender, she thought she was gay, and dealt with suicidal thoughts as she thought being gay was a sin.
Moxley was very interested in black power, and educated herself about Malcolm X and the civil rights movement. She became a youth organizer, and later attended Central State University, a historically black university in Wilberforce, Ohio.
Career
In 2013, Moxley co-founded the Black Lives Matter Global Network. As a strategic partner and organizing coordinator, she helped develop policy for the network, including the 2016 policy platform "A Vision for Black Lives". She co-organized a National Day of Action in 2015 to bring attention to the black trans women who were killed that year.
In 2015, Moxley was one of the organizers of The Movement for Black Lives, a national three-day conference in Cleveland, Ohio.
Moxley founded The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, where she serves as executive director. The mission of the institute, which launched in 2019, is to train and support black trans women and gender-nonconforming femmes.
Moxley has also served as a coordinator for GetEQUAL and as an ambassador for the Trans Women of Color Collective (TWOCC). Her writings have been featured in publications including the City University of New York Law Review and Ebony.
Moxley directed and featured in the 2022 short documentary film Black Beauty.
Activism
In 2015, Moxley appeared on Democracy Now! and All Things Considered, discussing the shooting of Tamir Rice.
In February 2017, Moxley, along with other trans activists, criticized the pussyhat that had become a symbol of the 2017 Women's March, stating that the movement needs to be truly intersectional and consider the "anatomy of all people".
In August 2017, Moxley and fellow organizers at the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, along with other trans activists, spoke out against an episode of The Breakfast Club radio show where remarks were made about trans women. Comedian Lil Duval joked about killing a sex partner if she turned out to be transgender, and host Charlamagne Tha God, while noting that killing a trans person was a hate crime, stated that women not disclosing their trans status were "taking away a person's power of choice" and "should go to jail or something". Moxley and her colleagues circulated a petition calling for the program to be taken off the air.
On September 30, 2017, Moxley spoke at The March for Black W |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars%20in%20Shadow | Stars in Shadow is a turn-based, 4X science-fiction computer strategy game developed by Ashdar Games and published by Iceberg Interactive for Windows PC in 2017.
Premise
Stars in Shadow is set in a galaxy which suffered from a grand-scale war between many civilizations and alien races, the so-called 'Great War'. Before the Great War the galaxy enjoyed a golden age, but the Great War ended this period of prosperity. Three thousand years later, the galaxy is currently in the progress of rebuilding.
Gameplay
In Stars in Shadow you can play as one of seven factions. The factions consists of humans and six alien races: the Phidi, Orthin, Yoral, Ashdar and the Gremak. The goal of the game is to "explore the galaxy, rediscover and colonize distant worlds, and build an interstellar empire". Players also engage in turn-based fleet combat, a core mechanic.
The 'Legacies' DLC adds an eighth playable faction, the Tinkers.
Development
Stars in Shadow was developed by Ashdar Games, a small studio consisting of programmer Sven Olsen and artist Jim Francis. Francis is responsible for the game's comic book art style. He is also known as the author and artist of the full-color web-based science fiction comic “Outsider”. In an interview with GameStar, Olsen named Master of Orion 2 as his main inspiration for the game.
The game went in Early Access in September 2016. IndieGames.com noted its style as "being probably its most striking element." PC Gamer reviewed the game when it entered Early Access and made note of the diversity of its playable races and the space combat gameplay, but reviewer T.J. Hafer stated that it was too early to tell if the "will soar above the clouds and become a respected peer in the space 4X renaissance."
Stars in Shadow left Early Access in January 2017, with Forbes' Erik Kain comparing its art style to Master of Orion. Logan Booker of Kotaku Australia also compared the look of the game to Master of Orion and to Star Control.
In August 2017 a DLC called 'Legacies' was announced. Stars in Shadow: Legacies adds a new faction called the Tinkers, bringing the number of playable alien races from six to seven. Originally slated for a September 2017 release date, the DLC was moved to October 2017. According to the developer, this was done "to release a DLC that meets your expectations (and our own)". The Legacies DLC was released on October 19, 2017.
Reception
Stars in Shadow received a positive reception from press. The game currently holds a 75 metascore on Metacritic. Tom Chick of Quarter to Three reviewed the game with four out of five stars, praising its ability to focus on the most important aspects of 4X games. WCCFTech praised the game for its art style and "outstanding turn-based tactics in ship battles", but noticed the lack of an in-depth story. Hooked Gamers also praised the turn-based combat and its depth. Overpowered Noobs noted that the game is perfect for novices to the 4X genre.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus%20fusion | Torus fusion (tofu) is a proprietary computer network topology for supercomputers developed by Fujitsu. It is a variant of the torus interconnect. The system has been used in the K computer and the Fugaku supercomputer (and their derivatives).
Tofu has a six-dimensional mesh/torus topology, a scalability of over 100,000 nodes, and full-duplex links that have a peak bandwidth of 10 GB/s (5 GB/s per direction). Each node is connected to its own InterConnect Controller (ICC) chip, which contains four Tofu interfaces (one for the node and three for connecting to other ICC chips) and a router.
Software support
Tofu's six-dimensional mesh/torus topology is abstracted by software to appear as a three-dimensional torus; it is supported by a Tofu-optimized version of the open-source Open MPI Message Passing Interface library. Users can create application programs adapted to either a one-, two-, or three-dimensional torus network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudermilk%20%28TV%20series%29 | Loudermilk is an American comedy-drama television series created by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Mort that premiered on October 17, 2017 on the AT&T Audience Network. The series stars Ron Livingston, Will Sasso, Laura Mennell, Anja Savcic, Mat Fraser, Toby Levins, and Mark Brandon. In December 2018, it was announced that Audience had renewed the series for a third season. In April 2020, the series was left without a home after the network ceased operations.
Amazon subsequently acquired the rights to stream the series, and the previously unaired third season was released on Amazon Prime Video in some countries, such as Canada, in December 2020. The series made its U.S. debut in March 2021, while the third season was added the following month.
Further seasons have been conceptualized by the creators, but are as-yet unproduced, as a sponsoring (not just distribution) network is being sought.
Premise
Sam Loudermilk, a former music critic and recovering alcoholic, is a substance abuse counselor and support group leader living in Seattle who regularly doles out clever but acid-tongued critiques to his clients, his friends, and any random person he interacts with. Loudermilk, who does not have his life together in the way one might expect of a counselor, is somewhat nicer to the few people close to him, including his best friend and (usually) sober sponsor, Ben Burns, and his sponsee and unplanned roommate, the young Claire Wilkes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20collectible%20card%20game | A digital collectible card game (DCCG) or online collectible card game (OCCG) is a computer or video game that emulates collectible card games (CCG) and is typically played online or occasionally as a standalone video game. Many DCCGs are types of digital tabletop games and follow traditional card game-style rules, while some DCCGs use alternatives for cards and gameboards, such as icons, dice and avatars. Originally, DCCGs started out as replications of a CCG's physical counterpart, but many DCCGs have foregone a physical version and exclusively release as a video game, such as with Hearthstone.
Gameplay
These games manage all the rules of a CCG, such as tracking the avatar's health, removing damaged creatures from the board, and shuffling decks when necessary. The games are managed on servers to maintain the player's library and any purchases of booster packs and additional cards through either in-game or real-world money. Some games, like Chaotic, Bella Sara, and MapleStory allow online players to enter a unique alpha-numeric code found on each physical card as to redeem the card in the online version or access other features. In other cases, primarily single player games based on the existing physical property have also been made, such as the Game Boy Color version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers.
Most DCCGs follow rules that exist for real-world implementations of CCGs, simply played out in the virtual space. However, some games like Hearthstone have gameplay elements that would be impractical or impossible to perform in a real-world game but is easily done within the digital game. For example, Hearthstone has a "Discover" keyword that lets players temporarily obtain cards from across the entire Hearthstone library for the duration of a match, even if they do not own that card yet.
History
1980s–1990s: Origins
Prior to DCCGs, video games had used both card-based mechanics (such as Dragon Ball: Daimaō Fukkatsu in 1988) and collection-based mechanics (such as Megami Tensei (1987), Dragon Quest V (1992) and Pokémon (1996), all based on collecting monsters). The Super Famicom card-battle/role-playing game Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu (1992), based on the Dragon Ball Carddass series, is considered an early precursor to the DCCG, as it allowed the player to collect, buy and sell cards within the game for use in card battles.
Tabletop-based CCGs came about in 1993 with Magic: The Gathering by Wizards of the Coast which became a phenomenon that year in the traditional game market. The CCG craze grew in 1994 onward as a result. This was also approximately the same time that widespread availability of the Internet was beginning. DCCGs evolved out of the ability for CCG players to challenge each other online rather than in person, as well as to provide computerized opponents so that players could play these CCGs by themselves.
The first DCCG games eventually appeared in the late 1990 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkaDate%20Dating%20Software | SkaDate Dating Software is an open-source-based social networking and dating software for the creation of online communities and online dating websites.
The underlying core of the software employs Oxwall base, written in PHP/MySQL with Model–view–controller pattern. The lowest versions required to run the software are PHP 5.3, Apache2, and MySQL 5.0. The software architecture is written in the way to allow on-the-fly extension with native and third-party plugins available in the Oxwall Store.
The open source platform behind the software allows third-party developers and freelance programmers to substantially modify the code, as well as create new independent plugins and themes for SkaDate. The level of support for third-party modifications is significant, compared to other similar products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20disk%20drive%20form%20factors | Since the invention of the floppy disk drive, various standardized form factors have been used in computing systems. Standardized form factors and interface allow a variety of peripherals and upgrades thereto with no impact to the physical size of a computer system. Drives may slot into a drive bay of the corresponding size.
Compared to flash drives in same form factor, maximum rotating disk drive capacity is much smaller, with 100 TB , and 32 TB for 2.5-inch.
List
IBM's first hard drive, the IBM 350, used a stack of fifty 24-inch platters and was of a size comparable to two large refrigerators. In 1962, IBM introduced its model 1311 disk, which used six 14-inch (nominal size) platters in a removable pack and was roughly the size of a washing machine. This became a standard platter size and drive form-factor for many years, used also by other manufacturers. The IBM 2314 used platters of the same size in an eleven-high pack and introduced the "drive in a drawer" layout, although the "drawer" was not the complete drive.
Later drives were designed to fit entirely into a chassis that would mount in a 19-inch rack. Digital's RK05 and RL01 were early examples using single 14-inch platters in removable packs, the entire drive fitting in a 10.5-inch-high rack space (six rack units). In the mid-to-late 1980s the similarly sized Fujitsu Eagle, which used (coincidentally) 10.5-inch platters, was a popular product.
Such large platters were never used with microprocessor-based systems. With increasing sales of microcomputers having built in floppy-disk drives (FDDs), HDDs that would fit to the FDD mountings became desirable. Thus HDD Form factors, initially followed those of 8-inch, 5.25-inch, and 3.5-inch floppy disk drives. Because there were no smaller floppy disk drives, smaller HDD form factors developed from product offerings or industry standards.
8-inch
× × ( × × ). In 1979, Shugart Associates' SA1000 was the first form factor compatible HDD, having the same dimensions and a compatible interface to the 8" FDD.
5.25-inch
5.75 in × 3.25 in × 8 in (146.1 mm × 82.55 mm × 203 mm). This smaller form factor, first used in an HDD by Seagate in 1980, was the same size as full-height FDD, 3.25-inches high. This is twice as high as "half height"; i.e., 1.63 in (41.4 mm). Most desktop models of drives for optical 120 mm disks (DVD, CD) use the half height 5¼" dimension, but it fell out of fashion for HDDs. The format was standardized as EIA-741 and co-published as SFF-8501 for disk drives, with other SFF-85xx series standards covering related 5.25 inch devices (optical drives, etc.) The Quantum Bigfoot HDD was the last to use it in the late 1990s, with "low-profile" (≈25 mm) and "ultra-low-profile" (≈20 mm) high versions.
3.5-inch
4 in × 1 in × 5.75 in (101.6 mm × 25.4 mm × 146 mm) = 376.77344 cm³. This smaller form factor is similar to that used in an HDD by Rodime in 1983, which was the same size as the "half height" 3½" FDD, i.e., 1.63 inches |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixelbook | The Pixelbook (codenamed Eve during development) is a portable laptop/tablet hybrid computer developed by Google which runs ChromeOS. It was announced on October 4, 2017, and was released on October 30. In September 2022, Google canceled future generations of the product and dissolved the team working on it.
Unlike most typical Chromebook devices, the Pixelbook's retail price is much higher at around $1,000, comparable with laptops such as the Microsoft Surface Laptop.
History
A rumored Pixel-branded Chromebook was anticipated to be launched at Google's annual fall hardware event in 2017 as a successor to the Chromebook Pixel; it was potentially a spinoff from the prior year's Project Bison, which was anticipated to be a laptop that could convert into a tablet mode. Google developed and launched a similar tablet with a detachable keyboard in 2018 (codenamed 'Nocturne') as the Pixel Slate.
The Pixelbook was planned as the next generation of Google laptops after the Chromebook Pixel laptop was discontinued in 2016. The company realised the Chromebook line had become successful after a slow start, obtaining a market share of 58% of schools in the US, and designed the Pixelbook as a serious industry player that can compete with Apple and Microsoft in this field.
Limited details, the name, and preliminary pricing for the Pixelbook leaked ahead of the official announcement; in addition, a stylus accessory would also be available. The Pixelbook was officially announced on October 4, 2017, at prices starting at .
The Pixelbook Go was announced in October 2019 as a Chromebook with similar performance as the Pixelbook and also equipped with a touchscreen, but the Go dropped tablet mode and stylus support. By September 19, 2020, Google had de-listed all models of the original Pixelbook from its online store, effectively marking its discontinuation.
Features
The Pixelbook features a touchscreen design, allowing the device to be used like a tablet. The device also features Google Assistant with a dedicated button. It runs ChromeOS and can launch Android applications natively. There is a front-facing camera capable of recording video at 720p, 30 frames per second. The hinge allows nearly a full 360° range of motion, enabling the computer to operate in "laptop", "tent", or "tablet" modes, depending on the opening angle.
It features instant tethering; if a wifi signal is dropped, the Pixelbook will automatically connect to a suitable smartphone signal. Either of the computer's two USB-C ports may be used for charging; using the provided 45 W charger, charging takes up to two hours. The 41 W-hr battery has a claimed life of 10 hours.
The top-end version with a Core i7 processor was exclusive to the Google Store and availability lagged the other models; it was not available to order until December 2017, with first shipments in January 2018.
Accessories
The device is compatible with Pixelbook Pen, a stylus designed for Pixelbook and sold separately for $9 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great%20Again%20%28American%20Horror%20Story%29 | "Great Again" is the eleventh and final episode of the seventh season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on November 14, 2017, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Tim Minear, and directed by Jennifer Lynch.
Plot
Kai assembles a meeting to informs his devotees that the "night of a thousand Sharon Tates" has been downgraded to one hundred. Meanwhile, Ally murders Speedwagon after finding out that he is an informant for the state police. She then tips off the FBI, which sends a SWAT team to storm the Anderson basement. Kai goes to prison while Beverly convinces the FBI that she was an unwilling participant in the cult and is released.
Eleven months later, Ally has become a celebrity and is running for the Senate seat. She divulges to Beverly that the FBI recruited her as an informant while she was institutionalized. Beverly then becomes a key advisor to Ally's Senate campaign. At Oz's birthday party, Ally receives a phone call from Kai, who swears vengeance against her.
After rebuilding his cult behind bars with both inmates and a security guard, Kai escapes from a maximum security prison and infiltrates a televised political debate between Ally and her opponent. Armed with a gun provided by Gloria, he proceeds to take credit for Ally's success and rant that women should learn their place. Kai points the gun at Ally's head and pulls the trigger, but discovers that the gun is not loaded and Gloria's true allegiance to Ally is exposed before Beverly shoots him in the head, killing him.
Preliminary results for the election show that Ally obtains the vast majority of the female vote and wins a Senate seat. Later, Ally puts Oz to bed. She then dons a SCUM cloak before departing into the night to attend a meeting of "empowered women who want to change the system".
Reception
"Great Again" was watched by 1.97 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 1.0 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, "Great Again" holds a 67% approval rating, based on 18 reviews with an average rating of 7.36 out of 10.
Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4 out of 5, saying "[the episode] is as subtly effective as the season has been peripherally horrific. Real life settings, secret organizations, crypto-SuperPACs and brown shirted thugs pick at the scabs of deep-seated conspiratorial paranoia. Politicians are every bit as scary as sad clowns and serial killers, and they have the power to affect more lives. That's pretty frightening, and fear is trust. But the season ends on a reassuring note for horror fans as we see Ally fitting herself in the cloak of the cult she now leads."
Kat Rosenfield from Entertainment Weekly gave the episode an A. She particularly enjoyed the last confrontation between Ally and Kai, saying it was what "we need and deserve". She also praised Kai's death scene, commenting tha |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chains%20of%20Love%20%28TV%20series%29 | Chains of Love is an American dating game show that aired for six episodes in April–May 2001 on the United Paramount Network (UPN). Adapted from a Dutch television series, it revolves around a man or woman being chained to four members of the opposite sex over four days and nights. This person, identified as the "Picker", is given $10,000 and can remove three contestants one at a time. The Picker can give a portion of the money to each eliminated participant. When left with a single partner, the Picker can choose to either split the money or keep it. American television personality Madison Michele hosted each episode.
Chains of Love was originally ordered by NBC, before UPN began producing it. The program was produced as part of a campaign to have more unscripted programming in UPN's schedule to boost the network's ratings. Media outlets have identified Chains of Love as part of a renaissance in reality television. David Garfinkle, who had previously worked on the show Blind Date, served as the executive producer.
Before its premiere, UPN had promoted the series through a month-long online campaign aimed at young women. Initially broadcast on Tuesday nights at 8:00 pm EST, the network envisioned the show as a companion piece to the simulated fugitive-chase series Manhunt. Media outlets questioned whether the show's airing on network television had restricted its content. Critical feedback to Chains of Love was mixed, the show's premise dividing television critics. Its structure and tone were compared to other programs where contestants seek love partners, such as Blind Date and The Dating Game.
Gameplay
In each episode, five contestants are taken to a house in Palos Verdes Estates, California. Bound together by a six-foot chain, they are linked by their hands and feet in the "Ritual Room" by the "Lockmaster", played by a muscular man in a suit and sunglasses. The participants are kept less than 24 inches from each other during filming. The chaining of the contestants is not shown on-screen.
The group includes a "Picker" and four potential suitors, referred to as "playmates". The four contestants are selected based on how their answers to questions in an earlier interview matched the qualities the Picker sought in a suitor. Both men and women have been Pickers; the four participants are always the opposite sex of the Picker. The group remains chained together for four days and nights and is taken to complete day-to-day tasks, such as grocery shopping, preparing food, and ice skating. There are certain times when individuals are allowed their privacy, including using the bathroom, bathing, and changing clothing.
At the start of each episode, the Picker is provided with $10,000 to give to the other participants based on his or her personal preferences. The Picker eliminates potential matches, who are then unchained by the Lockmaster. As each contestant leaves, the Picker can decide to give a portion of the money to them. When one contestant r |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache%20Ignite | Apache Ignite is a distributed database management system for high-performance computing.
Apache Ignite's database utilizes RAM as the default storage and processing tier, thus, belonging to the class of in-memory computing platforms. The disk tier is optional but, once enabled, will hold the full data set whereas the memory tier will cache full or partial data set depending on its capacity.
Data in Ignite is stored in the form of key-value pairs. The database component distributes key-value pairs across the cluster in such a way that every node owns a portion of the overall data set. Data is rebalanced automatically whenever a node is added to or removed from the cluster.
Apache Ignite cluster can be deployed on-premise on a commodity hardware, in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Compute Engine) or in a containerized and provisioning environments such as Kubernetes, Docker, Apache Mesos, VMware.
History
Apache Ignite was developed by GridGain Systems, Inc. and made open source in 2014. GridGain continues to be the main contributor to the source code, and offers both a commercial version and professional services around Apache Ignite.
Once donated as open source, Ignite was accepted in the Apache Incubator program in October of 2014. The Ignite project graduated from the incubator program to become a top-level Apache project on September 18, 2015.
In recent years, Apache Ignite has become one of the top 5 most active projects by some metrics, including user base activity and repository size.
GridGain was founded in 2010 by Nikita Ivanov and Dmitriy Setrakyan in Pleasanton, California. A funding round of $2 to $3 million was disclosed in November, 2011.
By 2013 it was located in Foster City, California when it disclosed funding of $10 million.
Clustering
Apache Ignite clustering component uses a shared nothing architecture. Server nodes are storage and computational units of the cluster that hold both data and indexes and process incoming requests along with computations. Server nodes are also known as data nodes.
Client nodes are connection points from applications and services to the distributed database on a cluster of server nodes. Client nodes are usually embedded in the application code written in Java, C# or C++ that have special libraries developed.
On top of its distributed foundation, Apache Ignite supports interfaces including JCache-compliant key-value APIs, ANSI-99 SQL with joins, ACID transactions, as well as MapReduce like computations.
Ignite provides ODBC, JDBC and REST drivers as a way to work with the database from other programming languages or tools. The drivers utilize either client nodes or low-level socket connections internally in order to communicate to the cluster.
Partitioning and replication
Ignite database organizes data in the form of key-value pairs in distributed "caches" (the cache notion is used for historical reasons because initially, the database supported the memory tier). Generally |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUF1646%20RNA%20motif | The DUF1646 RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics. One of the two DUF1646 RNAs in Enterococcus faecalis was independently detected by term-seq. Data from both discoveries suggest that DUF1646 RNAs are cis-regulatory RNAss, and that at least some DUF1646 RNAs use Rho-independent transcription terminators as their mechanism to regulate gene expression.
The genes apparently regulated by DUF1646 RNAs are often related to the transportation of sodium ions. Among the two most commonly regulated gene classes are those encoding sodium/proton antiporters whose relationship to sodium ion transport is obvious. The other highly common gene class encodes proteins containing a DUF1646 domain, whose biochemical and biological function is unknown. Also regulated are genes encoding proteins that transport sodium using ATP, as well as genes encoding oxaloacetate carboxyltransferase. The reaction catalyzed by oxaloacetate carboxyltransferase is tied to transporting a sodium ion across the membrane. DUF1646 RNAs rarely occur upstream of c-di-AMP riboswitches, and in these cases they apparently regulate genes that are typical for c-di-AMP signalling. In these cases, the association to sodium is at least not direct.
A DUF1646 RNA occurs upstream of an operon in Enterococcus hirae that was shown to regulate the downstream genes based on sodium ion concentrations. However, it is unclear whether this DUF1646 RNA participates in sodium-based gene regulation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElectroData%20Corporation | The ElectroData Corporation is a defunct computer company located in Pasadena, California.
ElectroData originated as a part of Consolidated Electrodynamics Corporation (CEC), which manufactured scientific equipment. Clifford Berry and Sibyl M. Rock developed an analog computer to process the output of CEC's mass spectrometer. Berry then urged CEC to develop a digital computer as a follow-on. In 1951 CEC enlisted Harry Huskey, who managed the development of the SWAC computer on the project.
In May 1952, CEC pre-announced the "CEC 30-201" computer, a vacuum tube computer with a magnetic-drum memory. That same year CEC reorganized computer development into a separate Computer Division. In 1954 the division was spun off into a separate public company named ElectroData. In 1954 the first model of the computer, now named the Datatron 203 shipped to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. The purchase price was $125,000. The company shipped seven more 203 systems in 1954 and thirteen in 1955.
By 1956 ElectroData was the third-largest computer manufacturer in the world, but was unable to generate enough revenue to meet the demands of growing the business. That year Burroughs Corporation, at that time a manufacturer of electro-mechanical office equipment, made a deal to acquire ElectroData in a stock swap, and renamed it the ElectroData Division of Burroughs Corporation. The Datatron was renamed the Burroughs 205.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie%20Condon%27s%20Jazz%20Concerts | Eddie Condon's Jazz Concerts is an American old-time radio program featuring Dixieland and jazz music. It was broadcast on the Blue Network from May 20, 1944, to April 7, 1945.
Format
In 1942, musician Eddie Condon began staging concerts in New York City, with Carnegie Hall and Town Hall as venues. By 1944, the performances were sold out. In 1944, the Blue Network began broadcasting the concerts, which The Directory of the Armed Forces Radio Service Series described as "Jazz music of a high standard". The broadcasts began "about eight performances into the series".
The program typically began with a jazz song, after which Condon commented on the song and introduced the band's members. The network described the programs as "the only unrehearsed, free-wheeling, completely barefoot music on the air."
Personnel
Condon was the program's host, with broadcasts featuring what the Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings called "many of the era's greatest musicians". Among them was singer Lee Wiley, described in the encyclopedia as "a near-regular" on the show. The broadcasts found Condon "surrounded by the greatest names in jazz—Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Willie “The Lion” Smith and Bob Haggart."
Jack Bland and Addison Amore were the directors, and Ernest Anderson was the producer.
Recordings
The broadcasts of Eddie Condon's Jazz Concerts have been made available commercially by Jazzology, creating "jazz's time capsule [that] lives on through the Golden Age of Radio".
