Hum World is a Pakistani television channel airing in United States of America, Canada, and Australia / New Zealand. Although it launched in USA as regular HUM TV USA on Dish Network on 18 March 2010, it was removed in November 2012 on the platform due to JadooTV signing a contract with Hum TV where it would be on IPTV only (whereas many people consider JadooTV illegal). It was brought back in 2017. In Canada, Australia and New Zealand it launched in 2014. It airs all new shows from Hum TV and some old shows that didn't air in the 2012-2017 period it wasn't transmitted in the mainstream USA. It is one of the top rated South Asian networks in America, Canada, New Zealand. The logo has HUM on top with the normal logo in the middle, and WORLD written on the bottom (contains | HD next to the word for HD feed). The logo regularly rotates on the side, and has a glare effect on the logo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataGravity
DataGravity Inc. was an American industry data management company, which produced security software. The company was founded in April 2012 by Paula Long and John Joseph. DataGravity announced its first products at VMworld in 2014. It won Best of Show, and New Technology awards for the event. It began shipping their first products in October 2014. The company focused on protection and security of the data stored on the array, and named this new type of storage as data-aware storage. It publicly changed its product strategy in February 2016 from data storage appliances to a software solution focused on behavioral data security. This product strategy change resulted in multiple rounds of layoffs. Fate Multiple reports use conflicting terminology about the final fate of the company. Some reports say HyTrust acquired DataGravity. Other reports, including a press release issued by HyTrust itself, say HyTrust acquired the assets of DataGravity after it was signed over to a liquidator. HyTrust told Fortune that founder and CEO Paula Long left DataGravity a few weeks before the transaction was announced, and that co-founder John Joseph left some time before that. According to some reports, DataGravity ceased day-to-day operations in June 2017, when it cancelled employee benefit plans and signed the company over to liquidator Barry Kallander of the Kallander Group. In one such report, correspondence from DataGravity President Barry Kallander states "The corporation was not sold - the assets of the company were....Unfortunately the common shares are worthless." Conversely, DataGravity CTO David Siles was quoted as saying the company "did not shut down", and that the transaction "wasn't a fire sale. We were acquired because we complete a vision, add value, have customers who love what we do. Together we will offer a very compelling offering to the marketplace solving very pressing needs for many enterprises." Approximately 20 former DataGravity employees joined HyTrust to support DataGravity's product integration, led by former DataGravity CTO David Siles. DataGravity's products remain a part of HyTrust's portfolio under its CloudAdvisor suite.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMUI
EMUI (formerly known as Emotion UI, and also known as MagicOS (formerly known as Magic UI on Honor smartphones since 2019)) is an Android-derived mobile operating system developed by Chinese technology company Huawei. It is used on the company's smartphones and tablet computers. Instead of Google Mobile Services, EMUI devices have used Huawei Mobile Services, such as the Huawei AppGallery, since 2020 due to United States sanctions imposed during the trade war against China. From Version 13 (2022), Huawei additionally bundled the HarmonyOS microkernel with the Android system; this microkernel for example handled identity security features such as the fingerprint authentication. History On 30 July 2012, Huawei introduced Emotion UI 1.0, based on Android 4.0. It features a voice assistant app (only in Chinese), customizable homescreens and theme-switching. The company rolled out installation files for the Ascend P1 through their website. The company claims that it is "probably the world's most emotional system". On 4 September 2014, the company announced EMUI 3.0, along with Ascend Mate 7 in the pre-IFA event in Berlin. The user interface was ever since called "EMUI" instead of "Emotion UI". In Mainland China, the release introduces the Huawei AppGallery application store; international markets continued to use Google Play. In late 2015, Huawei introduced EMUI 4.0, based on Android Marshmallow. In 2016, EMUI 5.0 was introduced, based on Android Nougat. In 2017, Huawei introduced EMUI 8.0, based on Android Oreo; beginning with this release, the version number would now be aligned with that of the Android version from which it was derived. Huawei unveiled EMUI 9.0, based on Android Pie, at IFA in 2018. Huawei stated a goal for the release to make EMUI more "simple", "enjoyable", and consistent; it included various usability tweaks, reorganized settings menus, dark mode, gesture navigation, and GPU Turbo 2.0. Beginning with EMUI 9.0.1, new Huawei devices ship with the company's EROFS file system for its system partitions, which is designed for higher performance in read-only settings on devices with limited resources. In July 2019, Huawei released EMUI 9.1 EMUI 10, based on Android 10, was announced 9 August 2019 at the Huawei Developer Conference. It features an updated interface with larger "magazine"-styled headings, new animations, colour accents inspired by painter Giorgio Morandi, and Android 10's system-wide dark mode support. Beginning 2020 due to United States sanctions against Huawei (which prohibit U.S.-based companies from doing business with the company), new EMUI smartphones sold internationally (beginning with the Mate 30) were no longer certified by Google, did not include support for Google Mobile Services (GMS) including Google Play, and were marketed as running EMUI with no reference to the Android trademark. These devices introduced the AppGallery and Huawei Mobile Services to international markets as an alternative to Google

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egocentric%20vision
Egocentric vision or first-person vision is a sub-field of computer vision that entails analyzing images and videos captured by a wearable camera, which is typically worn on the head or on the chest and naturally approximates the visual field of the camera wearer. Consequently, visual data capture the part of the scene on which the user focuses to carry out the task at hand and offer a valuable perspective to understand the user's activities and their context in a naturalistic setting. The wearable camera looking forwards is often supplemented with a camera looking inward at the user's eye and able to measure a user's eye gaze, which is useful to reveal attention and to better understand the user's activity and intentions. History The idea of using a wearable camera to gather visual data from a first-person perspective dates back to the 70s, when Steve Mann invented "Digital Eye Glass", a device that, when worn, causes the human eye itself to effectively become both an electronic camera and a television display. Subsequently, wearable cameras were used for health-related applications in the context of Humanistic Intelligence and Wearable AI. Egocentric vision is best done from the point-of-eye, but may also be done by way of a neck-worn camera when eyeglasses would be in-the-way. This neck-worn variant was popularized by way of the Microsoft SenseCam in 2006 for experimental health research works. The interest of the computer vision community into the egocentric paradigm has been arising slowly entering the 2010s and it is rapidly growing in recent years, boosted by both the impressive advances in the field of wearable technology and by the increasing number of potential applications. The prototypical first-person vision system described by Kanade and Hebert, in 2012 is composed by three basic components: a localization component able to estimate the surrounding, a recognition component able to identify object and people, and an activity recognition component, able to provide information about the current activity of the user. Together, these three components provide a complete situational awareness of the user, which in turn can be used to provide assistance to the user or to the caregiver. Following this idea, the first computational techniques for egocentric analysis focused on hand-related activity recognition and social interaction analysis. Also, given the unconstrained nature of the video and the huge amount of data generated, temporal segmentation and summarization were among the first problems addressed. After almost ten years of egocentric vision (2007 - 2017), the field is still undergoing diversification. Emerging research topics include: Social saliency estimation Multi-agent egocentric vision systems Privacy preserving techniques and applications Attention-based activity analysis Social interaction analysis Hand pose analysis Ego graphical User Interfaces (EUI) Understanding social dynamics and attention Revisiti

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InoERP
The inoERP enterprise management system is an open-source Go and Flutter based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application which can be used with MySQL, MariaDB or Oracle 12c databases. The objective of inoERP is to provide a dynamic pull based system where the demand /supply changes frequently and traditional planning systems (such as MRP or Kanban) are unable to provide a good inventory turn. Primary modules The major features of inoERP are: Organization Structure : Flexible enterprise, legal org, business unit, inventory, store, sub inventory & locator. Finance : General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Asset Inventory Management : Product maintenance, ABC Analysis, Cycle count, Inventory Transactions, Inter Org Transfers, Sub Inventory Movements Sales & Distribution : Sales Order, Order Booking, Delivery management, Point Of Sales Bills & Routing : BOM, Department, Resource, Costing with Material, Material Overhead, Overhead, Resource and OSP Manufacturing : Discrete, Process, Manufacturing Execution System Purchasing: RFQ, Quotes, Standard & Blanket Purchases, Sourcing Rule, Approved Supplier List Human Resources : Employee directory, Leaves management, Salary & Payroll, Approval Hierarchy Planning : Forecast, MDS, MRP, Min Max, Multi-Bin Kanban Asset Maintenance: Asset Tracking, Maintenance Activity, Maintenance Schedule, Planning & Maintenance Work Order, Cost Tracking eCommerce : Product, Cart, Paid Order, Auto Sales Order Creation, Payment Method such as PayPal, COD Other Modules : Quality, RFID & Barcode Content Management : Blogs, Forums, Website management Business Usage The primary objective of inoERP is to provide a dynamic pull system which can control the Raw Material, Work in Process and Finished Good Inventory to provide a good inventory turn. Dynamic pull system is an advanced version of pull system which encompasses the best feature of traditional pull system and MRP. The major disadvantage of the traditional kanban system is the fixed kanban size and requirement of at least 2 bins for full operation. In the event of a sudden demand decrease, a kanban system can result in extra inventory and the value of unused inventory can go up to 2 bin sizes. Similarly, In case of unexpected demand increasing, it can result in a line down and the issue will be severe if the lead times are not short. Dynamic pull systems overcome this issue by recalculating the bucket size (kanban size/lot size) before creating any supply (requisitions/purchase order/work order). Each time a new supply is created, the system automatically decides the best supply size as per the existing actual demand. Application Architecture inoERP is developed completely in OOPs architecture utilizing all the advanced features of PHP 5.5. It works with the standard PHP configurations and does not require any additional PHP modules. Its modular design allows organizations to enable only selected features required for the busines

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological%20Magnetic%20Resonance%20Data%20Bank
The Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank (BioMagResBank or BMRB) is an open access repository of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data from peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and other biologically relevant molecules. The database is operated by the University of Wisconsin–Madison and is supported by the National Library of Medicine. The BMRB is part of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics and, since 2006, it is a partner in the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB). The repository accepts NMR spectral data from laboratories around the world and, once the data is validated, it is available online at the BMRB website. The database has also an ftp site, where data can be downloaded in the bulk. The BMRB has two mirror sites, one at the Protein Database Japan (PDBj) at Osaka University and one at the Magnetic Resonance Research Center (CERM) at the University of Florence in Italy. The site at Japan accepts and processes data depositions. Content NMR spectral values and derived information The bulk of the data deposited at the BMRB consists of over 11,900 entries containing 1H, 13C, 15N and 31P assigned chemical shifts and coupling constants of peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. Other derived data like residual dipolar couplings (RDC), relaxation parameters, NOE values, order parameters and hydrogen exchange rates are also available. The database contains also a smaller amount of NMR data from carbohydrates, cofactors and ligands. These data are crossreferenced to 3D structures in the PDB when available. The NMR data are provided in the NMR-STAR file format and a number of format conversion tools are available at the site to convert files from NMR-STAR to other formats. NMR restraints grid The NMR restraints grid contains NMR restraints data from over 2500 proteins and nucleic acids collected from PDB depositions. The grid is constructed as four subsets of data: The original NMR data: This subset contains data as found in depositions from the PDB. The data are in various different file formats and contain information about interatomic distances, dihedral angles and RDC restraints. Parsed restraints data: Most of the entries in the original data subset have been parsed into the NMR-star file format facilitating its access and use. This subset contains over 9,400 entries. Converted restraints data (DOCR): Over 500 entries in the parsed subset have been converted to make the atom nomenclature consistent with the corresponding atomic coordinates. Filtered restraints data (FRED): The data in the DOCR were filtered to remove duplicates, redundancies, inconsistencies and values that do not contribute to structure calculations. Time-domain data The BMRB has archived sets of raw time-domain data collected from NMR experiments carried out to calculate restraints and chemical shifts in peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. This collection contains over 200 entries and in many cases the pulse-sequences and the acquisition

The social media platform and social networking service Facebook has been affected multiple times over its history by intentionally harmful software. Known as malware, these pose particular challenges both to users of the platform as well as to the personnel of the tech-company itself. Fighting the entities that create these is a topic of ongoing malware analysis. Types of malware and notable incidents Attacks known as phishing, in which an attacker pretends to be some trustworthy entity in order to solicit private information, have increased exponentially in the 2010s and posed frustrating challenges. For Facebook in particular, tricks involving URLs are common; attackers will maliciously use a similar website such as http://faceb0ok.com/ instead of the correct http://facebook.com/, for example. The 11th International Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment (DIMVA), held in July 2014, issued a report condemning this as one of the "common tricks" that mobile computing users are especially vulnerable to. In terms of applications, Facebook has also been visually copied by phishing attackers, who aim to confuse individuals into thinking that something else is the legitimate Facebook log-in screen. In 2013, a variant of the "Dorkbot" malware caused alarm after spreading through Facebook's internal chat service. With suspected efforts by cybercriminals to harvest users' passwords affecting individuals from nations such as Germany, India, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. The antivirus organization Bitdefender discovered several thousand malicious links taking place in a twenty-four hour period, and contacted the Facebook administration about the problem. While the infection was contained, its unusual nature sparked interest given that the attackers exploited a flaw in the file-sharing site MediaFire to proliferate phony applications among victims' Facebook friends. The real computer worm "Koobface", which surfaced in 2008 via messages sent through both Facebook and MySpace, later became subject to inflated, grandiose claims about its effects and spread to the point of being an internet hoax. Later commentary claimed a link between the malware and messages about the Barack Obama administration that never actually existed. David Mikkelson of Snopes.com discussed the matter in a fact-checking article. On 26 July 2022, researchers at WithSecure discovered a cybercriminal operation that was targeting digital marketing and human resources professionals in an effort to hijack Facebook Business accounts using data-stealing malware.They dubbed the campaign as 'Ducktail' and found evidence to suggest that a Vietnamese threat actor has been developing and distributing the malware with motives appeared to be purely financially driven.

Gultoo is a 2018 Indian Kannada language cyber-thriller film written and directed by Janardhan Chikkanna. Released by the company Vivid Films, the movie's music is scored by Amit Anand. Debutant Naveen Shankar and Sonu Gowda star along with Rangayana Raghu and Avinash. Shanti Sagar is the cinematographer of the film. The film was the 4000th made in Kannada film industry. Plot Alok (Naveen Shankar) is an orphan who becomes famous in his college by hacking an online movie booking website and making his seniors watch a movie which was a task during the Ragging session. After college, he and his friend Aasthi (Ram Dhanush) stay together where Alok works as a Computer Science trainer in a Computer Institute where he falls in love with Pooja (Sonu Gowda). Pooja is later revealed as an undercover officer of the Indian Intelligence Bureau. She seduced and slept with Alok to collect the details and password of his computer. Later with the help of Phaneesh (Pawan Kumar), a techie, she tries to pin Alok, who turns out to be the prime suspect in the theft of the Sudhar data from the storage centre. Cast Naveen Shankar as Alok Sonu Gowda as Pooja Ramesh/Anagha Avinash as Circle Inspector Avinash Rangayana Raghu as Chief Minister Anantharamaiah Pawan Kumar as Techie Phaneesh Pradeep Doddaiah as lecturer Ram Dhanush as Arasiah Thimmappa alias Aasthi Production Casting and filming Naveen Shankar's entry into Gultoo was through association with college batchmate and director Janardhan Chikkanna. Marketing “The director has come out with different posters too, which go well with the title and subject of Gultoo. There was a producer-pitch trailer, in which every actor wore glasses with round frames, and this became a highlight". Soundtrack Amit Anand has composed the score and songs for the film. The lyrics for the songs are written by Jayanth Kaikini, Kiran Kaverappa and Anoop Ramaswamy Kashyap. Critical response The film opened to positive reviews from critics upon theatrical release. Writing for The News Minute, Rakesh says “It comes as a bit of a surprise to see Sandalwood pick up on the topic of Aadhaar and data theft so quickly.” Rating the movie 3.5 out of 5, Sunayana Suresh from The Times of India says “The freshness in the narrative and the extensive research show that director Janardhan Chikkanna is someone to watch out for.” “Gultoo has the elements of a musical-romance and a thriller. But it is spread out in the form of a tragicomedy – a tragicomedy because the viewers are left scratching their heads at the blatant truth staring at them and applauding the makers’ vision at the same time" quoted The First Post. Deccan Chronicle carried the review saying “amidst all sorts of smart ‘leaks’ which has rocked the nation, raising big questions over the safety of all our personal data, here comes a perfect infotainment revolving around one such 'leak’ from another engineer turned director who makes an impressive mark, hacking into a sensibl

James S. Dolan (July 20, 1981 – December 27, 2017) was an American computer security expert who, with Aaron Swartz and Kevin Poulsen, co-developed SecureDrop, a widely used secure digital platform for sources to anonymously submit materials to journalists. Early life Dolan grew up in Chester, New York. He grew up with four sisters. He went to school at the Tuxedo Park school and was considered gifted at an early age. Later, he moved to Brooklyn, which is where he called home and Chester, New York. Career From 1999 to 2006, Dolan served with the Marines in two deployments during the Iraq War where he worked as a data network specialist. In 2003, Dolan served with III Marine Expeditionary Force during the initial Iraq War. In his second deployment, which was from September 2004 to March 2005, Dolan served with 4th Civil Affairs Group in Fallujah, which was one of the centers of the conflict at that time. Dolan was in Fallujah during Operation Phantom Fury, part of the Second Battle of Fallujah. Trevor Timm from the Freedom of the Press Foundation referenced Dolan's military service in his description of Dolan in the obituary he wrote, saying that the impact of serving in Iraq was an often spoke of motivating factor for Dolan's cybersecurity work, with the goal of making metadata "transparent and accountable." After his service in the Iraq War, Dolan worked in computer security at a large IT company. In 2012, as a side project to his IT job, Dolan helped develop the open source SecureDrop, initially known as DeadDrop. In 2013, Poulsen and Dolan moved it to the Freedom of the Press Foundation to ensure its continued development and adoption following the death of fellow developer Aaron Swartz. Dolan was the lead maintainer for DeadDrop, and as the Freedom of the Press Foundation's first employee, performed outreach and assisted in installations for news organizations that included The New Yorker, ProPublica, The Washington Post, and VICE News, among others. In 2015, Dolan moved to San Diego, California to work as head of security at Classy, an American software company and an online fundraising platform designed for nonprofit organizations, a position he held at the time of his death. Death Dolan was found dead in a Brooklyn hotel in December 2017 at the age of 36. Former colleagues speculate James died of suicide (the same as Swartz). He reportedly had developed PTSD from his time in the Marines. Dolan was the second member of the SecureDrop team to die by suicide. A GoFundMe fund was set up by his fellow Marines to establish the James Dolan Memorial Fund, which will annually donate to designated non-profit foundations and projects in his name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash%20BRT
Flash BRT is a bus rapid transit network in Montgomery County, Maryland with one operational line and two more under development. When complete, the network will run along U.S. 29 from Silver Spring to Burtonsville, Maryland Route 355 from Bethesda to Clarksburg, and Maryland Route 586 from Wheaton to Rockville. The Burtonsville–Greencastle Express Line, designated Route Z11, was a weekday peak-hour bus route operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority between Silver Spring station of the Red Line of the Washington Metro and Burtonsville Crossing Park & Ride Lot in Burtonsville, Maryland. The line operated every 10–25 minutes during the weekday peak hours in the peak direction only. Route Z11 trips are roughly 50 minutes long. The line was suspended on March 18, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was replaced by Flash BRT in October 2020. Route U.S. Route 29 The service runs from the Silver Spring Metrorail station along U.S. 29, before ending at the Burtonsville Park and Ride. Buses drive along the shoulder at the northern end of the route, with the remainder of the service using mixed-traffic roadways. Buses also receive signal priority at some intersections. Howard County has also studied the possibility of extending the BRT line from Burtonsville to Maryland Route 99 in Ellicott City. The line opened on October 14, 2020 replacing route 129. Maryland Route 355 Once complete, this line will begin at Bethesda Station and run along MD 355 through the cities of Rockville and Gaithersburg before terminating at the Clarksburg Outlets shopping mall. Maryland Route 586 Currently in the preliminary design phase, this line will run from Wheaton station to Rockville station and connect to the MD 355 line. The initial plan includes 11 stations, with a possible future extension to Montgomery College along that portion of the MD 355 line's route. Former Z11 route Route Z11 operated during the weekday peak-hours between Silver Spring station and Burtonsville Crossing Park & Ride Lot via Briggs Chaney Park & Ride Lot, Castle Boulevard, and Greencastle Park & Ride Lot via Columbia Pike, Castle Boulevard, Colesville Road, Briggs Chaney Road, Ballinger Drive, and Greencastle Road. The Z11 was an express route to supplement routes Z6 and Z8 during the weekday peak-hours operating express along Columbia Pike while routes Z6 and Z8 operate in Calverton (Z6) and Old Columbia Pike (Z8). The route was suspended during WMATA's reduced service as response to the COVID-19 pandemic on March 18, 2020 and did not return on August 23, 2020. Route Z11 operated out of Montgomery division prior to the suspension. Restrictions for route Z11 went as follows: Southbound: Customers may not get on or off between Briggs Chaney Road & Castle Boulevard and Colesville Road & Spring Street except at Oak Leaf Drive and Prelude Drive. AM trips do not stop at University Blvd. Northbound: Customers may not get on or off between Colesville Road & Spring Stre
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%27l%20Horrors
Li'l Horrors is an Australian children's comedy puppetry television series which screened on the Seven Network in 2001. The series contained 52 episodes each 12 minute, 30 seconds in length, with double episodes usually screened in a 30-minute timeslot. Plot Li'l Horrors takes place in the home of horror actress Morbidda Bates. The series follows the adventures of little monster characters based on classic, fictional horror characters such as Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, The Werewolf, Swamp Thing, Zombie, Quasimodo, Medusa and Gargoyles. Characters Vladamir "Vlad" Bloode, a vampire based on Dracula from Bram Stoker's gothic horror novel of the same name. A notorious trickster around Maug Stone Hall, his favourite pastime is to pull practical jokes at the other Horrors' expense. Duncan Stein, based on Frankenstein's monster from the 1931 film Frankenstein. Gluttonous yet friendly, and yet also dim-witted and sorely lacking in social skills. Cleo Patra, an Egyptian mummy based on modern pop culture. Uses a lot of Valley Girl filler in her speech. Ironically her namesake was not a native-born Egyptian but a Greek immigrant. Webster Swampson, a piscine boy based on various sea monsters. School Brainiac and a bit of a nerd. Often turned to, to get the other Horrors out of a crisis. Storylines based around him involve some invention of his. Abercrombie Necros, a zombie who does little more than watch television. When the set is faulty, broken, or otherwise out of order, he often melts down, simply by repeating phrases often appearing on television sets without reliable signals. These meltdowns don't happen every time though. Medusilla Venimski, a pretty monster based on (and named for) the youngest of three gorgons, Medusa. Very vain as she often admires her beauty, which does not turn others (or herself) to stone, unlike the ugliness of her namesake. Her hair can talk as well, as evidenced in several episodes. Claudia Howell, a werewolf girl, who, unlike her mythological basis, appears to have no human form. Acts and communicates like a dog, for example, growling when angered or insulted. Sensitive to insults towards categories she falls within, and often the target of Vlad's trickery. Quasi Modo, a thorough spoof of Quasimodo from Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Does not appear in every episode. Garg, one of two grotesques Goyle, Garg's permanent companion Bruce Ratso Risotto Humpfree Morbidda Bates (known as "Miss Morbidda" to the Li'l Horrors), the owner of Maug Stone Hall. Unseen but referred to in most episodes. Her voice addresses the Horrors in the opening credits.

The Rauze Viaduct is a concrete box-girder bridge (pont en poutre-caisson) in southern France, around 330 ft high, on European route E09 (international E-road network). History Design The structural engineering was by SECOA (Société d'étude et de calculs en ouvrages d'art). It is a haunched girder bridge. The area is designated under Natura 2000 as a natural fauna ecological area, so none of the piers could be put in the river. The three central spans are 130 m long, with the other outer spans being 91 m and 74 m long. Construction It was built by Dodin Campenon-Bernard, with the balanced cantilever method. Pre-stressing was by Spie Précontrainte (Spie Batignolles) of Cergy in Paris. 28,000 cubic metres of concrete were required; the limestone came from a quarry in Cahors. Steel fabrication was by SAMT of Saint-Chamas. The autoroute scheme was completed on 20 June 2001, and opened on 12 July 2001.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-driven%20control%20system
Data-driven control systems are a broad family of control systems, in which the identification of the process model and/or the design of the controller are based entirely on experimental data collected from the plant. In many control applications, trying to write a mathematical model of the plant is considered a hard task, requiring efforts and time to the process and control engineers. This problem is overcome by data-driven methods, which fit a system model to the experimental data collected, choosing it in a specific models class. The control engineer can then exploit this model to design a proper controller for the system. However, it is still difficult to find a simple yet reliable model for a physical system, that includes only those dynamics of the system that are of interest for the control specifications. The direct data-driven methods allow to tune a controller, belonging to a given class, without the need of an identified model of the system. In this way, one can also simply weight process dynamics of interest inside the control cost function, and exclude those dynamics that are out of interest. Overview The standard approach to control systems design is organized in two-steps: Model identification aims at estimating a nominal model of the system , where is the unit-delay operator (for discrete-time transfer functions representation) and is the vector of parameters of identified on a set of data. Then, validation consists in constructing the uncertainty set that contains the true system at a certain probability level. Controller design aims at finding a controller achieving closed-loop stability and meeting the required performance with . Typical objectives of system identification are to have as close as possible to , and to have as small as possible. However, from an identification for control perspective, what really matters is the performance achieved by the controller, not the intrinsic quality of the model. One way to deal with uncertainty is to design a controller that has an acceptable performance with all models in , including . This is the main idea behind robust control design procedure, that aims at building frequency domain uncertainty descriptions of the process. However, being based on worst-case assumptions rather than on the idea of averaging out the noise, this approach typically leads to conservative uncertainty sets. Rather, data-driven techniques deal with uncertainty by working on experimental data, and avoiding excessive conservativism. In the following, the main classifications of data-driven control systems are presented. Indirect and direct methods There are many methods available to control the systems. The fundamental distinction is between indirect and direct controller design methods. The former group of techniques is still retaining the standard two-step approach, i.e. first a model is identified, then a controller is tuned based on such model. The main issue in doing so is that the c

KodakCoin (stylized KODAKCoin) was a photographer-oriented blockchain cryptocurrency that was planned for payments for licensing photographs; however, the project has failed and been shut down. The cryptocurrency was being developed under a brand licensee agreement between Kodak and RYDE Holding Inc. (formerly WENN digital), with the relationship and project canceled. The initial coin offering (ICO) was initially scheduled for January 31, 2018, but was indefinitely delayed due to questions about its vetting process. A simple agreement for future tokens (SAFT) was then scheduled for May 2018, which limited purchases to accredited investors. The website and project has been shut down, with all mention of the KodakCoin and KodakOne removed from Kodak's website. Background KodakCoin SAFTs were made available on May 21, 2018 to accredited investors in the United States, United Kingdom, and some other countries. Working in conjunction with the KodakOne digital rights management platform, KodakCoin was intended to serve as the currency for an encrypted ledger of intellectual property rights ownership. KodakCoin would have used the Ethereum blockchain platform. KodakCoin was created by WENN Digital, using the Kodak trademark under license. KodakCoin may be a rebranding of an abandoned initial coin offering (ICO) known as RYDE, a cryptocurrency developed by WENN Digital. WENN Digital is a company formed by investments from Wenn Media Group and Ryde GmbH, a German company. WENN Digital In the initial press release about the KodakOne project published by Kodak on January 9, 2018 WENN Digital is described as having a "live operational copyright infringement management system" that "is delivering revenues to photographers worldwide today" and leveraging "the market position of its 30-year old subsidiary WENN Media, which works with approximately 2,500 professional photographers". German media reported on March 21, after a conversation with WENN Digital CEO Jan Denecke, that his Berlin-based startup RYDE GmbH, which according to the White Paper released by WENN Digital (dated April 24, 2018) builds a technological core of the KodakOne platform, was "meanwhile majority-owned by WENN Digital". KodakOne KodakCoin was designed to work with Kodak's KodakOne platform, to facilitate image licensing for photographers. The KodakOne platform uses web crawlers to identify intellectual property licensed to the KodakOne platform, with payments for licensed photographs to be made using KodakCoin cryptocurrency. The website and project has been shutdown, with all mention of the KodakCoin and KodakOne removed from Kodak's website. Reception Following the January 9 announcement of the new platform at the 2018 CES in Las Vegas, Kodak's stock price tripled in two days, as its market valuation increased to 565 million, an increase of more than 300 percent. By the end of January, one third of Kodak's shares were trading short. BBC News "Tech Tent" declared KodakCoin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips%20Computers
Philips Telecommunicatie en Informatie Systemen (Philips Computers) was a subsidiary of Philips that designed and manufactured personal computers. Philips Computers was active from 1963 through 1992. Before that, Philips produced three computers between 1953 and 1956, all for internal use, PETER, STEVIN, and PASCAL. Philips Computers was mostly known for its pioneer work in optical devices (through a separate subsidiary: LMSI). Philips computers were also sold under the Magnavox brand in North America. Two instances of Philips Computers products sold under other brands are known to date. Philips computers were coupled with Philips monitors. Philips had far more success selling its monitors than its computers. Philips monitors continue being designed, produced and sold globally contemporaneously. Philips also had and has moderate success selling peripherals such as mice, keyboards and optical devices. Philips also sold and sells computer media such as diskettes and optical media (CD)s. Philips also developed the CD-i standard but it flopped. Another experimental product was the Philips :YES, based on Intel's 80188. It also flopped. Philips PCs were mostly equipped with motherboards designed by Philips Home Electronics in Montreal, Canada. In the late 1990s Philips Pentium PCs were sold based on generic components and cases. These were not proprietarily designed and produced. Philips had a subsidiary that sold the PCs under the Vendex brand: HeadStart. These systems were actively marketed in certain markets through Vendex. These systems were on display in the now defunct warehouse chain Vroom & Dreesmann in the Netherlands. Some HeadStart PCs were manufactured in South Korea by Samsung and monitors by Daewoo. In the 2000s Philips briefly introduced a handheld PC: the Velo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunningham%27s%20rule
In mathematical optimization, Cunningham's rule (also known as least recently considered rule or round-robin rule) is an algorithmic refinement of the simplex method for linear optimization. The rule was proposed 1979 by W. H. Cunningham to defeat the deformed hypercube constructions by Klee and Minty et al. (see, e.g. Klee–Minty cube). Cunningham's rule assigns a cyclic order to the variables and remembers the last variable to enter the basis. The next entering variable is chosen to be the first allowable candidate starting from the last chosen variable and following the given circular order. History-based rules defeat the deformed hypercube constructions because they tend to average out how many times a variable pivots. It has recently been shown by David Avis and Oliver Friedmann that there is a family of linear programs on which the simplex algorithm equipped with Cunningham's rule requires exponential time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIR-2
MIR-2 () is the version of the MIR computer developed by the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences of Ukrainian SSR under the guidance of Victor Glushkov. It was first produced in 1969. Overview The speed of the MIR-2 machine is about 12,000 operations per second. The capacity of the random access memory (12-μs circulation cycle) is 8,000 13-bit symbols. The read-only memory has a capacity of about 1.6 million bits with a cycle of 4 μs, which is enough to store several tens of thousands of micro-commands. There is a buffer memory for output information with a volume of 4000 10-bit words. As external devices were used: input from punched tape, output to punched tape, electric typewriter Soemtron, magnetic card drive, vector graphic display with light pen. As the input language in the MIR-2 machine, a special high-level language Analitik was used, which developed the concepts of the MIR-1 built-in programming language and additionally allowed the formulation of tasks with analytic transformations of formulas, allowing analytical expressions for derivatives and integrals.

The Olivetti P6040 was a personal computer, described by its maker as a personal minicomputer. The P6040 was programmable in Mini BASIC and featured a floppy disk drive that used proprietary 2.5-inch sleeveless disks called "Minidisk". It was produced starting from 1977 and was the first microprocessor-based Olivetti computer, the Intel 8080, instead of on TTL logic CPU. Designed by Pier Giorgio Perotto, it was presented at Hannover Messe in April 1975 together with the P6060, its hardware used TTL technology. Both had a brown-colored case. The P6040 was little in dimensions and weight, thanks to the introduction of microprocessor (for the first time at Olivetti). Another innovation in the model was the introduction of the light-emitting diode display. The design was by Mario Bellini.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathers%20%28TV%20series%29
Heathers is an American black comedy television series, created by Jason Micallef, that premiered on October 25, 2018, on Paramount Network. Its first season, a modern-day reboot of the 1989 film of the same name written by Daniel Waters, stars Grace Victoria Cox, James Scully, Melanie Field, Brendan Scannell and Jasmine Mathews. The series follows high school student Veronica Sawyer and her conflicts with a self-titled clique consisting of three fellow students who share the name Heather. The series was intended to be an anthology, with each season taking place in an entirely different setting from the original film. The series was originally in development for TV Land, but it was moved to the 2018 launch slate for its rebranded sister network Paramount Network, with a premiere scheduled for March 2018. In the wake of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and the program's subject matter, Paramount Network delayed the premiere to July 2018. However, on June 1, 2018, Paramount Network's parent company Viacom dropped Heathers entirely due to continued concern for its content following the 2018 Santa Fe High School shooting two weeks prior. Despite the premiere's cancellation in the United States, the series had already been sold in international markets where it went on to debut as previously scheduled in its original ten-episode version. It aired for the first time on July 11, 2018, on HBO Europe in select European territories. On October 4, 2018, it was announced that the series would premiere in United States on October 25, 2018, on Paramount Network over the course of five nights. The series was edited for content by the network resulting in numerous cuts and the number of episodes being reduced from 10 to nine, with the original final two episodes being combined into one. Despite reports by the writers that a second season, Heathers: Revolution, had a complete script, Paramount Network's president Kent Alterman announced in an interview on May 1, 2019, that Heathers had been cancelled. Premise In the town of Sherwood, Ohio, Veronica Sawyer (Grace Victoria Cox) is the newest member of the most powerful clique at Westerberg High School, "the Heathers"; Heather Chandler (Melanie Field), a rich girl who is fairly famous on social media for her social justice posts, and her "sidekicks" Heather Duke (Brendan Scannell) and Heather McNamara (Jasmine Mathews). Veronica has a deep-seated jealousy of the Heathers, a jealousy that turns into hatred towards Heather Chandler and the status quo she maintains. One day, Veronica is confronted with the realization that, unlike her classmates, she has no real sense of individuality and is destined to be forgotten. Joined by a jaded and aloof transfer student named Jason "J.D." Dean (James Scully), Veronica hopes to make her way through her senior year with all of her morals intact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic%20seal
An electronic seal is a piece of data attached to an electronic document or other data, which ensures data origin and integrity. The term is used in the EU Regulation No 910/2014 (eIDAS Regulation) for electronic transactions within the internal European market. Description Conceptually similar to electronic signatures and usually technically realized as digital signatures, electronic seals serve as evidence that an electronic document was issued by a specific legal entity. For this purpose, an electronic seal must be linked to the data sealed with it in such a way that any subsequent change in the data is detectable and also in such a way that a fake seal cannot be created without access to the data (usually a private key) used for creation of the digital seal. This is usually achieved through use of a qualified digital certificate that is involved in creation of a digital seal. The unique private key used in the creation of the digital seal ensures non-repudiation: the entity that created the digital seal cannot later deny that it created the seal for that document. If the document is modified after its digital seal was created, the digital seal is not valid for the modified document. This can be checked by anyone with access of the public key corresponding to the private key used in the creation of the digital seal, ensuring the integrity of the sealed document. Besides authenticating the document issued by the legal entity, e-Seals can also be used to authenticate any digital asset of the legal person, such as software code or servers. The important difference between a digital signature and an electronic seal is that the latter is usually created by a legal person while digital signatures are created by a natural person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Home%20and%20Away%20characters%20%282018%29
Home and Away is an Australian television soap opera. It was first broadcast on the Seven Network on 17 January 1988. The following is a list of characters that appeared in 2018, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by the soap's executive producer, Lucy Addario. The 31st season of Home and Away began airing from 29 January 2018. Dean Thompson and Colby Thorne were introduced during February. April saw the first appearances of Lance Salisbury and Ebony Harding, while Ty Anderson made his debut in May. September saw the arrival of Chelsea Campbell. Dean's mother Karen Thompson was introduced in October. Simone Bedford and Bella Nixon began appearing from November. Dean Thompson Dean Thompson, played by Patrick O'Connor, made his first appearance on 1 February 2018. O'Connor began filming five months prior to his casting announcement on 13 January 2018. He had previously auditioned for other Home and Away characters, and came close to securing the roles, before being cast as Dean. This is O'Connor's first acting role. Of his casting, he stated "Home and Away is obviously known as a launch pad for many actors’ careers. Obviously going into the type of role that this is, being a River Boy and there being a story there already that is so big and well known, it means there is a legacy there to play around with and being a bad boy on the show is exciting." Dean is a member of the show's River Boys group, who were introduced in 2011 with the arrival of the Braxton brothers. Dean was branded "the new bad boy of Summer Bay" by Jonathon Moran of The Daily Telegraph. While O'Connor described him as "cheeky" and said that he loves AFL. The actor added that he likes that his character has tattoos, as he has always wanted one. Colby Thorne Colby Thorne, played by Tim Franklin, made his first appearance on 6 February 2018. Franklin's casting was confirmed in December 2017, after he was photographed filming scenes at Palm Beach, the show's outdoor filming location. He learned from his agent that he had secured the role of Colby on his 27th birthday. He stated, "My agent sang 'Happy Birthday', but changed my name to Colby. When I heard it, I jumped out of my seat and screamed – it was the best gift." Colby is a police constable. Franklin said Colby's "turbulent upbringing" led him to join the force. He also told Tamara Cullen of TV Week, "I believe that any character has to come from a reality within myself. We've both had traumas and heartache in our past – as we all have – so I try to bring as much of myself to the role." Colby is a former member of the River Boys surf gang, and a love interest for Jasmine Delaney (Sam Frost). Lance Salisbury Lance Salisbury, played by Angus McLaren, made his first appearance on 17 April 2018. McLaren's casting and character details were announced on 16 April 2018. Of joining the cast, McLaren commented, "It's very exciting. It hit home for me when I walked into the Diner and all the characters I've

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneall
Geneall.net is a Portuguese public internet database on family history and genealogy, mainly concerning Royalty and Aristocracy around the world. It is a collaborative effort by a small group of expert genealogists in Lisbon, with over 3 million individuals (living and deceased) and 177,000 family names in the database. For many of those individuals, there is a corresponding subpage displaying an ancestry chart. It is the largest Portuguese-language internet database concentrating on genealogy, but it is not restricted to Portuguese, offering five other languages. Geneall uses a nobility pedigree structure which arranges individuals into descendants of five historic European sovereigns; namely Ferdinand I of Castile and León, William the Conqueror, Hugh Capet, Charlemagne and Afonso I of Portugal. The site comprises historical and contemporary influential people primarily, such as monarchs, nobles, distinguished statesmen and eminent artists, as well as their descendants. Geneall has been referred to as "a hub for the gossip of who's who" and serves as the genealogical database of those born or married into gentry. Although the information displayed on the site is strictly added and revised by the Geneall employees, users are allowed to send potential corrections based on reliable sources through a form sent directly within the site. Since late 2016, and as a result of an attempt to raise funds for the maintenance of the database, most of the features that were once open to the general public have been closed and now require a paid membership to access. History The site was created in 2000. Initially, it was called Genea Portugal and was hosted as a portal in SAPO. It originated from the database created when Luís Amaral started a collaboration with the newspaper O Independente at the request of the then director Paulo Portas. The collaboration consisted of the drafting of a supplement of genealogical collectibles for the newspaper. The supplement, called "Names of Portugal" (from January to June 1998) had 26 weekly issues with 24 pages, with information on about 80 Portuguese family names. As of January 2018, the database had information on more than 3 million people and 177,000 family names. Characteristics Circle system Some individuals in the database have their name succeeded by a coloured circle that defines them as descendants of the different kinds that constitute a reference for the corresponding nationality. This principle applies to all sites, and thus: A green circle identifies the descendants of Ferdinand I, King of Castile and León (Spanish monarch) A yellow circle identifies the descendants of Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor (French/German monarch) A dark blue circle identifies the descendants of Hugh Capet, King of the Franks (French monarch) A red circle identifies the descendants of William the Conqueror, King of England (English monarch) A light blue circle identifies the descendants of Afonso I Henriques (Portuguese
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift%20%28rapid%20transit%29
Shift is the name of a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) network in London, Ontario, consisting of two BRT corridors that meet at a central hub in downtown London. Construction was initially anticipated to begin in 2019, but after delays, construction started on the first BRT project, the Downtown Loop, in spring 2021 and will continue in phases until 2023. The project received C$170 million in funding from the Ontario government on January 15, 2018. History The City of London updated its Transportation Master Plan in May 2013, providing a strategy for transportation and land use decisions to 2030 and beyond. One of its targets was to increase transportation mode share in the city from 12.5% to 20% by 2030, and a key objective to achieve that was to implement a BRT network. The proposed network consisted of an east-west corridor and a north-south corridor, both of which met in the downtown core. The city then initiated planning for a rapid transit project in September 2014, and branded it as "Shift" in January 2015. By November 2015, the envisioned network had changed the corridors to north-east and west-south. Network Overall, the network's two routes will be long, and have 34 stations. Stations will be spaced approximately apart. One route will serve the north and east areas of the city, while the other will serve the west and south areas, both which meet at a central transit hub at Wellington and King streets in the downtown. The North-East Route's termini will be Fanshawe Park Road at Richmond Street, and Second Street at Oxford Street East. The route will be mostly aligned with Richmond Street, King and Dundas Streets, Highbury Avenue and Oxford Street East. The West-South Route's termini will be Fanshawe Park Road at Wellington Road south of Bradley Avenue, and Wonderland Road and Oxford Street West. The route will be mostly aligned with Wellington Street, Queens Avenue, and Oxford Street West. References Public transport in London, Ontario Proposed public transport in Canada

Heartland is an American country music-oriented digital broadcast television network owned by Get After It Media and broadcast out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Launched on April 16, 2012, the network began as a revival of The Nashville Network (TNN); the original incarnation (now known as Paramount Network) existed as a basic cable and satellite television network from March 7, 1983, to September 24, 2000. History On April 16, 2012, Luken Communications (now known as Reach High Media Group) and Jim Owens Entertainment announced a joint venture to relaunch The Nashville Network as a digital broadcast television network on November 1, 2012 with the network to carry much of the original TNN's programming, including Music City Tonight, Crook & Chase, Yesteryear and (in cooperation with the Country Music Hall of Fame) Nashville Now, as well as new and original programming. In October 2013, the partnership between Jim Owens Entertainment and Luken Communications ended and the network was rebranded as Heartland, carrying much of the same programming and format. Programming Programming that aired on the new Nashville Network included shows such as Nashville Now, Crook & Chase, Music City Tonight, The Rick and Bubba Show, and Larry's Country Diner. Much of the same programming continued to air after the rebrand to Heartland. New series added to the network include Rise Up Country with John Ritter, Reflections, Positively Paula (hosted by Paula Deen), the Canadian drama series Heartland, reruns of Canadian sketch comedy The Red Green Show (added September 2018), More Than the Music, The Unseen World, and Morning Beats, a soft news magazine which replaced Coffee, Country & Cody from WSM Radio in Nashville. Country music videos air when no other programs are scheduled; both contemporary videos and classic country performances are offered, usually presented in blocks by VJs. Coincidentally the network carries the Canadian series Heartland in repeats, with the only connection between the two a shared name. Heartland's national feed contains no infomercials except for a regularly scheduled presentation brokered by Time-Life Home Video. Distribution Heartland is distributed through digital subchannel affiliations. The network is also distributed freely over the Internet; some of the network's programming (including Jim Owens entertainment shows and programming made available online elsewhere behind a paywall) is not available online and is replaced with reruns of programs scheduled at other times. Since 2019, the online feed has operated a full schedule. As of February 2021, Network affiliates include: † Any launch dates noted are subject to change.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray%20Basin%20Rail%20Project
The Murray Basin Rail Project is a major railway project in the north-west of Victoria, Australia. The project includes the conversion of a substantial portion of the Victorian freight rail network from the historical broad gauge to the standard gauge used in other parts of Australia, and the upgrading of track to enable higher axle loads for more efficient intrastate freight transfer. The project is being delivered by V/Line in its role as infrastructure manager of the Victorian rail network, under the direction of Public Transport Victoria, and is jointly funded by the Victorian and Australian governments. Construction commenced in 2016 and was expected to be complete by late 2018; however, by mid-2018 the project was incomplete and its future in doubt. Background Prior to the Federation of Australia in 1901, the colonial governments of Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, and the other Australian colonies were responsible for development of railway networks surrounding their nascent capital cities. Due to political pressures and disagreements over the technical advantages of various track specifications, a number of different gauges were adopted. In particular, Victoria adopted the , New South Wales and South Australia a combination of broad gauge and narrow gauge. Following a Royal Commission in 1921 which recommended the adoption of standard gauge across the country, the first Victorian line to be converted was the North East line in 1962 between Melbourne and Albury, eliminating the break of gauge at the state border and allowing trains to run between Sydney and Melbourne for the first time. Then, in 1995, the Melbourne–Adelaide railway was standardised, meaning that all capital cities were linked by a single gauge for the first time in Australia's history. Over the following years, new private rail freight operators invested in new interstate services due to the reduced running costs of a single-gauge network. In May 2001, the state government under Premier Steve Bracks promised the standardisation of 13 freight lines, incorporating some of track. The rationale offered for the Rail Gauge Standardisation Project was that it would reduce freight costs, improve rail's mode share for intrastate freight, and improve competition between ports. However, the private lessees of the freight network over the following years, Freight Australia and its successor Pacific National, failed to commit to the project, and by 2005, it was largely abandoned. The government announced in May 2007 that the entire state's network would be bought back from Pacific National, with its ownership moving to VicTrack and management responsibility passing to V/Line. Industry groups expressed hope that the purchase would enable upgrade works to proceed on the north-west rail network. By 2014, approximately of grain was exported from the Murray Basin annually, in addition to of mineral sands and around 13,000 containers of other produce. In the May prior

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich%20Prinz
Dietrich Gunther Prinz (March 29, 1903 – December 1989) was a computer science pioneer, notable for his work on early British computers at Ferranti, and in particular for developing the first limited chess program in 1951. Biography Prinz was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1903. He studied physics and mathematics at the University of Berlin where Max Planck and Albert Einstein had been among his teachers. He initially went to work on electronic design at Telefunken. He had some Jewish parentage and left Germany to join GEC in Wembley as a researcher into valve technology. During the Second World War, he was interned in Canada, and when he returned he worked first in Leeds for the Bowen Instrument Company. Prinz became a British citizen in 1947. Prinz was recruited to the Ferranti factory at Moston, Manchester, in 1947 by Eric Grundy who was setting up a team to study the potential uses of electronic computers. After Ferranti was awarded a contract to build a production version of the Manchester computer, which would become the Ferranti Mark 1, Prinz worked closely with the University of Manchester team. In 1948 he visited the US to learn about comparative computer advancements where he met Douglas Hartree who worked at the UCLA developing SWAC computer for U.S. National Bureau of Standards and with J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly who worked on UNIVAC project. Prinz wrote a manual for the Ferranti Mark 1 which was much clearer than the notoriously opaque first manual written by Alan Turing. He remained a mainstay of the programming department for thirty years. He spent some time in Italy supporting Ferranti installations there. Prinz had learned programming on the Mark I from seminars led by Alan Turing and Cicely Popplewell. Influenced by them, and later by other colleagues including Donald Michie, Christopher Strachey and Donald Davies, he came to see chess programming as "a clue to methods that could be used to deal with structural or logistical problems in other areas, through electronic computers". Turing had also worked out an algorithm for playing chess, but Prinz's work was independent of this. The Mark I was inadequate to play a complete game of chess and Prinz concentrated on the endgame. In November 1951, his program on the Ferranti Mark I first solved a Mate-in-two problem. A description of the program was included in the 1953 book Faster Than Thought. Prinz also developed simple logical machines with the Manchester University philosophy lecturer Wolfe Mays and also worked in the area of computer music. He died in December 1989. Personal life Prinz was married and had two children, Jonathan Franklin Prinz and Daniela Prinz. Publications Dietrich Prinz (1944).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMV%20%28algorithm%29
SAMV (iterative sparse asymptotic minimum variance) is a parameter-free superresolution algorithm for the linear inverse problem in spectral estimation, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and tomographic reconstruction with applications in signal processing, medical imaging and remote sensing. The name was coined in 2013 to emphasize its basis on the asymptotically minimum variance (AMV) criterion. It is a powerful tool for the recovery of both the amplitude and frequency characteristics of multiple highly correlated sources in challenging environments (e.g., limited number of snapshots and low signal-to-noise ratio). Applications include synthetic-aperture radar, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Definition The formulation of the SAMV algorithm is given as an inverse problem in the context of DOA estimation. Suppose an -element uniform linear array (ULA) receive narrow band signals emitted from sources located at locations , respectively. The sensors in the ULA accumulates snapshots over a specific time. The dimensional snapshot vectors are where is the steering matrix, contains the source waveforms, and is the noise term. Assume that , where is the Dirac delta and it equals to 1 only if and 0 otherwise. Also assume that and are independent, and that , where . Let be a vector containing the unknown signal powers and noise variance, . The covariance matrix of that contains all information about is This covariance matrix can be traditionally estimated by the sample covariance matrix where . After applying the vectorization operator to the matrix , the obtained vector is linearly related to the unknown parameter as , where , , , , and let where is the Kronecker product. SAMV algorithm To estimate the parameter from the statistic , we develop a series of iterative SAMV approaches based on the asymptotically minimum variance criterion. From, the covariance matrix of an arbitrary consistent estimator of based on the second-order statistic is bounded by the real symmetric positive definite matrix where . In addition, this lower bound is attained by the covariance matrix of the asymptotic distribution of obtained by minimizing, where Therefore, the estimate of can be obtained iteratively. The and that minimize can be computed as follows. Assume and have been approximated to a certain degree in the th iteration, they can be refined at the th iteration by, where the estimate of at the th iteration is given by with . Beyond scanning grid accuracy The resolution of most compressed sensing based source localization techniques is limited by the fineness of the direction grid that covers the location parameter space. In the sparse signal recovery model, the sparsity of the truth signal is dependent on the distance between the adjacent element in the overcomplete dictionary , therefore, the difficulty of choosing the optimum overcomplete dictionary arises.

KCMJ-LP 93.9 FM was a non-profit radio station in Colorado Springs, Colorado whose programming leaned to the political left. With an all volunteer staff, they began as an internet only station before reaching the airways. Its license was cancelled on April 2, 2021, as its owners did not renew the station's license. The Colorado Media Justice Foundation was created to launch this station. Founder Dennis Apuan had the initial vision. He was joined in the early days by Dave Gardner, Tim Board, and Kris Harty in key positions. Bobby Irwin and Ray Uberecken of Cumulus Media contributed technical support and guidance. Stargazers Theatre & Event Center generously served as the location of the transmitter. After a group with no radio experience and no management expertise took over the station, it fell into disarray, failing to keep a signal on the air, failing to file required non-profit reports with the state of Colorado and the IRS, and failing to renew its FCC license.

As a result, it does not suffer as much loss of throughput as TCP does on networks with high latency or high packet loss and avoids the overhead of naive "UDP data blaster" protocols. The protocol innovates upon naive "data blaster" protocols through an optimal control-theoretic retransmission algorithm and implementation that achieves maximum goodput and avoids redundant retransmission of data. Its control model is designed to fill the available bandwidth of the end-to-end path over which the transfer occurs with only "good" and needed data. Large organizations like the European Nucleotide Archive, the US National Institutes of Health National Center for Biotechnology Information and others use the protocol. The technology was recognized with many awards including an Engineering Emmy from the Academy of Film and Television. Security FASP has built-in security mechanisms that do not affect the transmission speed. The encryption algorithms used are based exclusively on open standards. Some product implementation use secure key exchange and authentication such as SSH. The data is optionally encrypted or decrypted immediately before sending and receiving with the AES-128. To counteract attacks by monitoring the encrypted information during long transfers, the AES is operated in cipher feedback mode with a random, public initialization vector for each block. In addition, an integrity check of each data block takes place, in which case, for example, a man-in-the-middle attack would be noticed. Protocol FASP's control port is TCP port 22 the same port that SSH uses. For data transfer, it begins at UDP port 33001, which increments with each additional connection thread. FASP's flow control algorithm, unlike TCP's, completely ignores packet drops. Instead, it acts on changes in measured packet delivery time. When that is growing, queues are getting longer and channel bandwidth is exceeded; falling, queues are getting shorter. Acting on this information is complicated because the receiver has it and the sender needs it, but its lifetime is often less than the transmission delay; and measurements are noisy. Thus, the sender uses a predictive filter fed updates from the receiver. The transmission rate is chosen

The Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) is the peak advocacy group for Australian communications consumers. It receives Australian government funding to carry out its work, part of which ACCAN distributes to researchers. Government funding ACCAN is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia under section 593 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. This funding is recovered from a levy on telecommunications carriers. Campaigns ACCAN has campaigned for a government scheme to monitor NBN broadband performance. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is in the process of setting up such a scheme. It has selected SamKnows to operate the NBN testing system. After a surge in customer complaints to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) in late 2017, ACCAN called for improved consumer protections.
