https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon%20Stringer | Simon Stringer is a departmental lecturer, Director of the Oxford Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence, and Editor-in-Chief of Network: Computation in Neural Systems published by Taylor & Francis.
Research
Stringer and his research group develop biological computer simulations of the neuronal mechanisms underpinning various areas of brain function, including visual object recognition, spatial processing and navigation, motor function, language and consciousness.
In particular, the study published in Psychological Review and Interface Focus 2018, the Royal Society's cross-disciplinary journal, proposes a novel approach to solve the Binding problem. Spiking neural network simulations of the primate ventral visual system have shown the gradual emergence of a subpopulation of neurons, called polychronous neuronal groups (PNGs), that exhibits regularly repeating spatiotemporal patterns of spikes. The underlying phenomenon of these characteristic patterns of neural activity is known as polychronization.
The main point is that within these PNGs exist neurons, called binding neurons. Binding neurons learn to represent the hierarchical binding relationships between lower and higher level visual features in the hierarchy of visual primitives, at every spatial scale and across the entire visual field. This observation is consistent with the hierarchical nature of primate vision proposed by the two neuroscientists John Duncan and Glyn W. Humphreys almost thirty years ago.
Furthermore, this proposed mechanism for solving the binding problem suggests that information about visual features at every spatial scale, including the binding relations between these features, would be projected upwards to the higher layers of the network, where spatial information would be available for readout by later brain systems to guide behavior. This mechanism has been called the holographic principle.
These feature binding representations are at the core of the capacity of the visual brain to perceive and make sense of its visuospatial world and of the consciousness itself. This finding represents an advancement towards the future development of artificial general intelligence and machine consciousness. According to Stringer:Today’s machines are unable to perceive and comprehend their working environment in the same rich semantic way as the human brain. By incorporating these biological details into our models[...] will allow computers to begin to make sense of their visuospatial world in the same way as the [human] brain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%20Kadoorie%20Biobank | The China Kadoorie Biobank is acquiring genomic data on half a million Chinese participants. In 2022 Genome-wide genotyping had been conducted for more than 100,000 participants using custom-designed Axiom® arrays.
It collected questionnaire and physical data and blood samples on 510,000 men and women aged between 30 and 79 from 10 regions in China between 2004-2008 with the aim of investigating chronic diseases (e.g. heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer). Participants have been linked to mortality registers and nationwide health systems and a sub-group of 25,000 are retested every few years. It is a joint venture by the University of Oxford’s Clinical Trial Service Unit & Epidemiological Studies Unit and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
Research based on the biobank published by the American Thoracic Society in 2018 found that respiratory disease hospitalization or death were 36% higher among people who used wood or coal for cooking compared to those who used electricity or gas.
A study published in Heart based on the biobank found that people who ate an egg a day had a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease overall than those who ate no eggs. They had a 25% lower incidence of hemorrhagic stroke, and a 12% reduction in risk of ischemic heart disease.
A study published in 2022 examined the relative risk of mortality associated with five individual and combined lifestyle factors - never smoking or quitting not for illness, no excessive alcohol use, being physically active, healthy eating habits, and healthy body shape - and established that they could be associated with substantial gains in life expectancy in the Chinese population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6%20Routing%20Protocol%20for%20Low-Power%20and%20Lossy%20Networks | RPL (Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) is a routing protocol for wireless networks with low power consumption and generally susceptible to packet loss. It is a proactive protocol based on distance vectors and operates on IEEE 802.15.4, optimized for multi-hop and many-to-one communication, but also supports one-to-one messages.
This protocol is specified in with special applications in RFCs . RPL can support a wide variety of link layers, including those with limitations, with potential losses or that are used in devices with limited resources. This protocol can quickly create network routes, share routing knowledge and adapt the topology in an efficient way.
Protocol configuration
RPL creates a topology similar to a tree (DAG or directed acyclic graph). Each node within the network has an assigned rank (Rank), which increases as the teams move away from the root node (DODAG). The nodes resend packets using the lowest range as the route selection criteria.
Three control messages are defined in ICMPv6 via :
DIS (information request DODAG): Used to request information from nearby DODAG, analogous to router request messages used to discover existing networks.
DIO (object of information of the DAG): Message that shares information from the DAG, sent in response to DIS messages, as well as used periodically to refresh the information of the nodes on the topology of the network.
DAO (object of update to the destination): Sent in the direction of the DODAG, it is a message sent by the teams to update the information of their "parent" nodes throughout the DAG.
Implementation
The implementation of the RPL protocol occurs in wireless sensors and networks, the most used operating system for its implementation is Contiki which is a small open source operating system developed for use in a number of small systems ranging from 8-bit computers to integrated systems on microcontrollers, including sensor network nodes.
Other operating systems
The RPL protocol is implemented in other operating systems, such as:
LiteOS is an edition of the Zorin OS operating system designed for low-resource computers, developed in principle for calculators, but which has also been used for sensor networks.
TinyOs was the first operating system oriented to the wireless sensor network (WSN), works through events and guided tasks, and uses an extension of the C language, called nesC. TinyOS is implemented as a set of cooperating tasks and processes and it determines the priorities between tasks and events.
T-Kernel is an operating system that accepts applications as executable images in basic instructions. Therefore, it will not matter if it is written in C++ or Assembly language.
EyeOS is defined as a desktop environment based on Web, which allows monitoring and access to a remote system through a simple search engine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DYGB-FM | DYGB (91.7 FM), broadcasting as Power91 FM, is a radio station owned and operated by Gold Label Broadcasting System, Inc. It is an affiliate station of the Radio Mindanao Network, mainly due to its programs from DYHP and DZXL. Its studios and transmitter are located at Dy Chiao Kiao Bldg., Gov. M. Perdices cor. San Juan Sts., Dumaguete. It operates daily from 4:30 AM to 12:00 MN.
History
DYGB began operations on August 10, 1991, as Power 95 FM, airing a CHR/Top 40 format. At the time of its launch, the station was located at 95.7 MHz.
It became the first FM radio station in Dumaguete to use Digital Audio Tape (DAT) and compact discs (CDs) for song playback and cart machines for playing national and local commercials, jingles and station promotional materials, all of which were acquired from the United States through JAM Creative Productions.
The said format has proven popular to its listeners, as it quickly became the overall #1 FM radio station in Dumaguete and the entire province of Negros Oriental.
In the same year, DYEM's owner, Negros Broadcasting and Publishing Inc., filed a case against GLBSI because the station was broadcasting nearer to that station's frequency, which is at 96.7 MHz. GLBSI later responded to DYEM's case by moving DYGB to its current frequency, 91.7 MHz, with the branding being changed to Power 91 FM.
In mid-1994, DYGB-FM was relaunched as a "news and music" FM station, shifted to the masa format with news, public affairs, commentary, public service and brokered programming to its schedule.
Since the reformat, it remains the city's most listened-to FM radio station, a distinction that still holds up to this day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Adventures%20of%20Jinbao | The Adventures of Jinbao ( (Released as The Adventures of Panda Warrior in the United States) is a 2012 Chinese-Hong Kong computer-animated action comedy martial arts film directed by Kwok-Shing Lo and written by Andy Ng Yiu-Kuen and Lam Fung from an original story by Peter Cheung Wing-Yiu. The film's English cast features Rob Schneider (in a dual role), Haylie Duff, Norm Macdonald, Lauren Elizabeth, and Tom Kenny (in a triple role). Many of the film's fight scenes were animated using motion capture.
Plot
In Imperial China, a peace-loving soldier named Jinbao has heard about Merryland from his grandfather who gave him a necklace he got. His Captain states that the world won't be at peace. During an attack on their camp, Jinbao runs off the cliff and finds himself in Merryland in the form of the giant panda. When falling out the sky, he is saved by Flying Pig. Jinbao learns about Merryland and how it is ruled by an evil master and his Phantom Army as well as the prophecy of the Panda Warrior.
While traveling through the forest, they are attacked by a giant spider. Then they spar with Mantis who becomes their ally. Arriving at a village of onion creatures, they find it attacked by the Phantom Army which is led by a pyrokinetic tree spirit named Charcoal. With help from Flying Pig claiming that Charcoal insulted his grandfather, Jinbao subdues Charcoal in the nearby water. A Ginseng Spirit arrives and plays the Song of Peace to purify it. Jinbao learns from the Ginseng Spirit that he must rest in order to have the energy to do the Song of Peace. Now purified, Charcoal joins up with Jinbao.
Traveling through the field, Jinbao, Flying Pig, Mantis, and Charcoal are attacked by the Phantom Army's general Cattle. They are joined by Flying Pig's fellow rebels Cotton Sheep Sister, Steel Mouth Chicken, Horse, Big-Eyed Monkey, Golden Retriever, and Big-Eared Rabbit. Despite the difficulty, the group manages to knock Cattle off a cliff. Jinbao gets to know each of the members where he did annoy Horse by stating that he looks more like a hippopotamus than a horse.
The group arrives at the headquarters of the rebellion where they meet with Lion King. When he sees Jinbao, Lion King states that Jinbao is not the Panda Warrior of Legend. The history is that Merryland is guarded by the heavenly sperm whales Hope and Faith. When Hope absorbed too much of the Dragon Ball of Light, a warrior from Earth appeared and became the Panda Warrior. Jinbao figures out that the Panda Warrior is his grandfather. When his grandfather defeated Hope and returned to his world with the necklace from Merryland's ruler Princess Angelica, an evil rat from another world arrived in Merryland where he took control of Hope's body and turned it into a Nine-Headed Snake in order to enslave Merryland. Jinbao asks for Lion King to train him. Despite many painful and comical outcomes, Jinbao passes the training.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Amazon | Amazon is an American multinational technology company which focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, and digital streaming. It has been referred to as "one of the most influential economic and cultural forces in the world", and is one of the world's most valuable brands.
Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos from his garage in Bellevue, Washington, on July 5, 1994. Initially an online marketplace for books, it has expanded into a multitude of product categories: a strategy that has earned it the moniker The Everything Store. It has multiple subsidiaries including Amazon Web Services (cloud computing), Zoox (autonomous vehicles), Kuiper Systems (satellite Internet), Amazon Lab126 (computer hardware R&D). Its other subsidiaries include Ring, Twitch, IMDb, MGM Holdings and Whole Foods Market.
Founding
The company was created as a result of what Jeff Bezos called his "regret minimization framework" – to avoid regretting, in his old age, not having tried to participate in the emerging internet with his own startup. In 1994, Bezos left his job as a vice president at D. E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street firm, and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he began to work on a business plan for what would become Amazon.com.
On July 5, 1994, Bezos initially incorporated the company in Washington state with the name Cadabra, Inc. After a few months, he changed the name to Amazon.com, Inc, because a lawyer misheard its original name as "cadaver". Bezos selected this name by looking through a dictionary; he settled on "Amazon" because it was a place that was "exotic and different", just as he had envisioned for his Internet enterprise. The Amazon River, he noted, was the biggest river in the world, and he planned to make his store the biggest bookstore in the world. Additionally, a name that began with "A" was preferred because it would probably be at the top of an alphabetized list. Bezos placed a premium on his head start in building a brand and told a reporter, "There's nothing about our model that can't be copied over time. But you know, McDonald's got copied. And it's still built a huge, multibillion-dollar company. A lot of it comes down to the brand name. Brand names are more important online than they are in the physical world."
In its early days, the company was operated out of the garage of Bezos's house on Northeast 28th Street in Bellevue, Washington.
Online bookstore and IPO
After reading a report about the future of the Internet that projected annual web commerce growth at 2,300%, Bezos created a list of 20 products that could be marketed online. He narrowed the list to what he felt were the five most promising products, which included: compact discs, computer hardware, computer software, videos, and books. Bezos finally decided that his new business would sell books online, because of the large worldwide demand for literature, the low unit price for books, and the huge number of titles available in print. Amazon was founded in the garage of Bezos' rent |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNR%20Prolog | BNR Prolog, also known as CLP(BNR) is a declarative constraint logic programming language based on relational interval arithmetic developed at Bell-Northern Research in the 1980s and 1990s. Embedding relational interval arithmetic in a logic programming language differs from other constraint logic programming
(CLP) systems like CLP(R) or Prolog-III in that it does not perform any symbolic processing. BNR Prolog was the first such implementation of interval arithmetic in a logic programming language. Since the constraint propagation is performed on real interval values, it is possible to express and partially solve non-linear equations.
Example rule
The simultaneous equations:
are expressed in CLP(BNR) as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo%20Argamon | Shlomo Argamon is an American/Israeli computer scientist and forensic linguist. He is currently the chair of the computer science department as well as a tenured professor of computer science and interim director of the Active Computational Thinking (ACT) Center at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL. He founded their Master of Data Science program in 2013.
Education
Shlomo Argamon received his B.S. in applied mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University and his MPhil and Ph.D. in computer science from Yale University, supervised by Drew McDermott. He spent two years doing postdoctoral research under a Fulbright Foundation fellowship with Sarit Kraus at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel.
Research
Since the late 1990s, Argamon has worked primarily on computational linguistics analysis of non-denotational meaning, including computational analysis of language stylistics, sentiment analysis, and metaphor analysis. He has also published well-cited research on active learning (machine learning), metalearning, and robotic mapping.
Computational Stylistics
Argamon is best known for his work on computational stylistics, particularly author profiling. Together with Moshe Koppel and others, he has shown how statistical analysis of word usage can determine an author's age, sex, native language, and personality type with high accuracy in English-language texts. His work has also shown how textual features indicating differences between male and female authorship are consistent between languages and across time.
He has also developed computational stylistic methods that provide insights into the meaning of stylistic differences. One of Argamon's key innovations for this purpose is the development of computational stylistic analysis using systemic functional linguistics. For example, together with Jeff Dodick and Paul Chase, he examined whether there are clear and consistent differences between scientific method in experimental sciences and historical sciences. Their work showed how using systemic functional features in computational stylistic analysis provides evidence for multiple scientific methodologies of the sorts posited previously by philosophers of science.
Forensic Linguistics is viewed through its two major components, first one being Written Language and the Second one being Spoken Language. Written language is mainly used on transcripts for police interviews, for both the witnesses and the suspects. The transcripts are considered examined text material from criminal messages, terrorist threats or blackmailing messages and translate them from one language to another and then reviewed to help in answering questions about the author if the message. Many different kinds of text materials can be examined, some being notes, phone messages, letters both typed and handwritten as well as text from social medias. Much more can be determined by combining computational stylistics and scientific methods in order to enhance Cybersecuri |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security%20switch | A security switch is a hardware device designed to protect computers, laptops, smartphones and similar devices from unauthorized access or operation, distinct from a virtual security switch which offers software protection. Security switches should be operated by an authorized user only; for this reason, it should be isolated from other devices, in order to prevent unauthorized access, and it should not be possible to bypass it, in order to prevent malicious manipulation.
The primary purpose of a security switch is to provide protection against surveillance, eavesdropping, malware, spyware, and theft of digital devices.
Unlike other protections or techniques, a security switch can provide protection even if security has already been breached, since it does not have any access from other components and is not accessible by software. It can additionally disconnect or block peripheral devices, and perform "man in the middle" operations.
A security switch can be used for human presence detection since it can only be initiated by a human operator. It can also be used as a firewall.
Types
Hardware kill switch
A hardware kill switch (HKS) is a physical switch that cuts the signal or power line to the device or disable the chip running them.
Examples
A cellphone is compromised by malicious software, and the device initiates video and audio recording. When the user activates the “prevent capture of audio/video” mode of the security switch, that either physically disconnects or cut the power to the microphone and the camera, which stops the recording.
A laptop that has an embedded security switch is stolen. The security switch detects a lack of communication from a specific external source for 12 hours, and responds by disconnecting the screen, keyboard and other key components, rendering the laptop useless, with no possibility of recovery, even with a full format.
A user wishes to prevent tracking of their location. The user then activates geolocation protection and the security switch disables all GPS communication, eliminating the possibility of tracking the device's location.
A user desires to eliminate the possibility of their PIN being copied from their smartphone. They can activate the secure input function, causing the security switch to disconnect the touch screen from the operating system, so input signals are not available to any devices except the switch.
A security switch performs scheduled monitoring and finds that a program is attempting to download malicious content from the internet. It then activates internet security function and disables internet access, interrupting the download.
If laptop software is compromised by air-gap malware, the user may activate the security switch and disconnect the speaker and microphone, so it can not establish communication with the device.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20of%20Quang%20Duc | The Battle of Quang Duc took place from 30 October to 10 December 1973 when North Vietnamese forces attempted to occupy part of Quang Duc Province to expand their logistical network from Cambodia into South Vietnam. While the North Vietnamese attacks were initially successful they were eventually forced out by the South Vietnamese.
Background
Quang Duc Province was important commercially for its vast timber resources and militarily for both sides in the war because of the lines of communication that passed through it. After the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) had closed surface travel from Saigon to Phước Long by the direct route through Bình Dương Province, the only land access available to the South Vietnamese was via Ban Me Thuot and Quang Duc. As far as the PAVN was concerned, Quang Duc was essential to the extension of its Route 14 out of Mondulkiri Province, Cambodia, and Darlac Province, South Vietnam.
Because Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces controlled Highway 14 as far south and west from Ban Me Thuot as the Tuy Đức crossroads (), the PAVN's new Route 14 had to pass through Cambodia and reenter South Vietnam in that salient of Mondulkiri Province that juts into Quang Duc near Bu Prang. The site of the abandoned U.S. Army Special Forces Bu Prang Camp was perched atop a high, forested ridge astride Highway 14 near the Tuy Đức crossroads at the Cambodian border. Before reaching the Phuoc Long border of South Vietnam's III Corps, Highway 14 was joined at the hill town of Kien Duc () by Local Route 344, coming over from the Quang Duc Province capital of Gia Nghĩa. This road junction was vital because its control provided an alternative route from Ban Me Thuot through Dak Song and Gia Nghĩa on Provincial Route 8B. Important as well was the road junction at Dak Song (), where Provincial Route 8B left Highway 14.
Until mid-May 1973 when the PAVN's projection of its new line of communication reached Bu Prang and while the South Vietnam's access to Phước Long through Quang Duc remained unthreatened, neither side paid much attention to Quang Duc. ARVN engineers were working on local roads, primarily to improve access to the timber forests in the northeast section of the province, and the only PAVN activity of any note was mining to
harass and delay this project. Only three Regional Force battalions were located in the province, supported by six 105-mm. howitzer platoons (12 guns), which had had no occasion to fire since the 28 January ceasefire. Additionally, 27 Popular Force platoons were scattered about the province. These were nearly all Montagnards, and the province population was 60 percent tribal.
Around the beginning of May, a Regional Force patrol, moving out from its outpost near Bu Prang made contact with a PAVN reconnaissance party and killed four. The rest of May and June were quiet until PAVN harassment of the RF positions around Bu Prang began in early July, evidently in response to the unusually aggressive patrollin |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information%20engineering | Information engineering is the engineering discipline that deals with the generation, distribution, analysis, and use of information, data, and knowledge in systems. The field first became identifiable in the early 21st century.
The components of information engineering include more theoretical fields such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, control theory, signal processing, and information theory, and more applied fields such as computer vision, natural language processing, bioinformatics, medical image computing, cheminformatics, autonomous robotics, mobile robotics, and telecommunications. Many of these originate from computer science, as well as other branches of engineering such as computer engineering, electrical engineering, and bioengineering.
The field of information engineering is based heavily on mathematics, particularly probability, statistics, calculus, linear algebra, optimization, differential equations, variational calculus, and complex analysis.
Information engineers often hold a degree in information engineering or a related area, and are often part of a professional body such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology or Institute of Measurement and Control. They are employed in almost all industries due to the widespread use of information engineering.
History
In the 1980s/1990s term information engineering referred to an area of software engineering which has come to be known as data engineering in the 2010s/2020s.
Elements
Machine learning and statistics
Machine learning is the field that involves the use of statistical and probabilistic methods to let computers "learn" from data without being explicitly programmed. Data science involves the application of machine learning to extract knowledge from data.
Subfields of machine learning include deep learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, semi-supervised learning, and active learning.
Causal inference is another related component of information engineering.
Control theory
Control theory refers to the control of (continuous) dynamical systems, with the aim being to avoid delays, overshoots, or instability. Information engineers tend to focus more on control theory rather than the physical design of control systems and circuits (which tends to fall under electrical engineering).
Subfields of control theory include classical control, optimal control, and nonlinear control.
Signal processing
Signal processing refers to the generation, analysis and use of signals, which could take many forms such as image, sound, electrical, or biological.
Information theory
Information theory studies the analysis, transmission, and storage of information. Major subfields of information theory include coding and data compression.
Computer vision
Computer vision is the field that deals with getting computers to understand image and video data at a high level.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROV%20%28Provenance%29 | The standard defines a data model, serializations, and definitions to support the interchange of provenance information on the Web. Here provenance includes all "information about entities, activities, and people involved in producing a piece of data or thing, which can be used to form assessments about its quality, reliability or trustworthiness".
PROV is a set of recommended standards of the World Wide Web Consortium. These include its data model, an XML schema for that model, an OWL2 ontology mapping that model to RDF, and a mapping from that ontology to Dublin Core. It also includes a notation standard for provenance that is easy for humans to read; methods for accessing and querying prov; and a few other subspecifications.
PROV model overview
The core concepts defined by the PROV Model are Entity, Activity and Agent. The remaining concepts are relationships between these (e.g. Derivation, Usage, Generation) or specializations (e.g. Person, Collection, Plan).
An Entity captures a thing in the world (in a particular state). The entity was derived from some other entity, and was generated by an Activity that used other entities.
An Agent (e.g. a person or software execution) was associated with the activity, and the entity that was generated by the activity was attributed to that agent.
PROV serializations
Provenance statements can be serialized in different PROV formats, while expressing the same PROV model. Some of the PROV types and relationship names have slight variations from the PROV model concepts to be idiomatic to the format.
For example, PROV-N is a textual format that has a direct mapping to the PROV model:
document
prefix ex <http://example.com/>
entity(ex:e1)
activity(ex:a2, 2011-11-16T16:00:00, 2011-11-16T16:00:01)
wasGeneratedBy(ex:e1, ex:a2, -)
endDocument
The above can be expressed as XML using the PROV-XML schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<prov:document xmlns:prov="http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#"
xmlns:ex="http://example.com/">
<prov:entity prov:id="ex:e1"/>
<prov:activity prov:id="ex:a2">
<prov:startTime>2011-11-16T16:00:00.000Z</prov:startTime>
<prov:endTime>2011-11-16T16:00:01.000Z</prov:endTime>
</prov:activity>
<prov:wasGeneratedBy>
<prov:entity prov:ref="ex:e1"/>
<prov:activity prov:ref="ex:a2"/>
</prov:wasGeneratedBy>
</prov:document>
Using the PROV-O mapping to the OWL2 ontology language, which again can be serialized in the RDF format Turtle:
@prefix prov: <http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix ex: <http://example.com/> .
ex:e1 a prov:Entity .
ex:a2 a prov:Activity ;
prov:startedAtTime "2011-11-16T16:00:00.000Z"^^xsd:dateTime ;
prov:endedAtTime "2011-11-16T16:00:01.000Z"^^xsd:dateTime .
ex:e1 prov:wasGeneratedBy ex:a2 .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top%20Gun%20%281986%20video%20game%29 | Top Gun is a 1986 combat flight simulation game based on the film of the same name. It was developed and published by British company Ocean Software, and was released for several computer platforms. In the United Kingdom, it was released for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum in December 1986. The following year, it was released for Atari ST. In the United States, it was published by Thunder Mountain. In 1989, it was published by The Hit Squad as a budget re-release for ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
Gameplay
Top Gun is a combat flight simulation game. The game is viewed with two vertical split screens, one for the player's fighter plane and one for an enemy plane. Both screens are viewed from within the cockpit. On each level, the player faces off against three enemy planes, one at a time. The player advances to the next level after defeating the three planes. The player can use a machine gun and missiles against enemies, who become more difficult to defeat as the game progresses. The machine gun is prone to overheating if used continually, and missiles must be locked on to a target for three seconds before they can be launched. Enemy planes also have missiles, and a single missile is fatal to both the player and the enemy plane. The player can drop a flare to distract an incoming enemy missile. An instrument panel gives the player information such as altitude, speed, and machine gun temperature.
Top Gun includes a two-player mode in which both players receive three planes. Both players start with a plane each and use it in combat against the other player. If a plane is destroyed, the player uses another one. A player loses the game if all three planes are destroyed by the other player.
Reception
Reviewers for Crash were surprised by how good the game was, and they offered particular praise for the two-player mode. Paul Boughton of Computer and Video Games described the game as a "neat combination of flight simulation mixed with sky high duelling". Mike Roberts of Computer Gamer stated that Top Gun and Ace were the best flight games he had ever played up to that point. John Cook of Popular Computing Weekly concluded that the game was not a bad effort, and recommended it for people wanting a "minimalist" two-player air combat game. Benn Dunnington of .info called the game a simple but fun shoot 'em up. John Gilbert of Sinclair User stated that the game lacked depth and action and said that the game is not simulation or arcade.
Gilbert criticized the graphics, describing them as "almost non-existent", also writing that the combat takes place at night, giving Ocean an excuse for black background on both cockpit views. Phil South of Your Sinclair praised the graphics and called the game as fun Roberts, reviewing the CPC version, wrote that the graphics are crude but completely in keeping with the style of the game. His only criticism of the game was that the game could have a realistic control of the plane. Cook, also reviewing the CPC v |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface%20Studio%202 | The Surface Studio 2 is an all-in-one PC, designed and produced by Microsoft as part of its Surface series of Windows-based personal computing devices. It was announced at the Windows 10 Devices Event on October 2, 2018, two years after the release of the previous version Surface Studio, with pre-orders beginning that day.
The second desktop computer to be manufactured entirely by Microsoft, the Surface Studio uses the Windows 10 operating system with the October 2018 update preinstalled, with free upgrade to Windows 11. The product, starting at $3,499, is aimed primarily at people in creative professions such as graphic artists and designers.
The Surface Studio 2+ was announced on October 12, 2022 and features an updated Intel 11th-gen CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, and three USB4/Thunderbolt 4 ports supporting up to three distinct 4K@60Hz displays.
Features
Hardware
The Surface Studio 2 has a 28-inch 4.5K "PixelSense" display with 4500 x 3000 pixels, equivalent to 192 dpi. The screen, the thinnest ever built for an all-in-one PC at 12.5 millimetres thick, is capable of being used in both the DCI-P3 and sRGB color spaces, and features a unique hinge design that allows it be tilted to a flat position, in a manner similar to the Wacom Cintiq. The bezel of the display contains a 5.0 megapixel camera and a Windows Hello-compatible backlit infrared camera.
The CPU is located in the base. Its compact design contains a 7th generation (codename "Kaby Lake") Core i7 processor and either a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or GeForce GTX 1070 graphics processor (both dependent on configuration). The system can be configured with up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 2 terabyte SSD. It also features four USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, an SDXC card reader and a headset connection.
The updated Surface Studio 2+ has new CPU/GPU options, 2x USB 3.2 ports, 3x Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports, a headphone connection, and Gigabit Ethernet but foregoes the SDXC card reader.
Unlike many desktop PCs, the Surface Studio 2 supports Microsoft's Modern Standby (formerly known as InstantGo) specification, enabling background tasks to operate while the computer is sleeping.
Accessories
Microsoft specially designed its Surface Mouse and Surface Keyboard to work with the Surface Studio 2. It is also compatible with the Surface Pen and a newly created accessory, the Surface Dial. The latter consists of a round disk that can be placed on the display and rotated to perform various actions, such as scrolling, zooming, adjusting the volume, among others, with precision. Developers can utilize its APIs to integrate its functionality into their own products.
Reception
The Surface Studio 2 received generally positive reviews from technology critics. Many praised the large high resolution display, build quality and high performance of the GPU. Criticisms included the high entry price of the device, the all rear-facing I/O ports and the use of last generation mobile Intel quad core (as opposed to cu |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic%20feasible%20solution | In the theory of linear programming, a basic feasible solution (BFS) is a solution with a minimal set of non-zero variables. Geometrically, each BFS corresponds to a corner of the polyhedron of feasible solutions. If there exists an optimal solution, then there exists an optimal BFS. Hence, to find an optimal solution, it is sufficient to consider the BFS-s. This fact is used by the simplex algorithm, which essentially travels from one BFS to another until an optimal solution is found.
Definitions
Preliminaries: equational form with linearly-independent rows
For the definitions below, we first present the linear program in the so-called equational form:
maximize
subject to and
where:
and are vectors of size n (the number of variables);
is a vector of size m (the number of constraints);
is an m-by-n matrix;
means that all variables are non-negative.
Any linear program can be converted into an equational form by adding slack variables.
As a preliminary clean-up step, we verify that:
The system has at least one solution (otherwise the whole LP has no solution and there is nothing more to do);
All m rows of the matrix are linearly independent, i.e., its rank is m (otherwise we can just delete redundant rows without changing the LP).
Feasible solution
A feasible solution of the LP is any vector such that . We assume that there is at least one feasible solution. If m = n, then there is only one feasible solution. Typically m < n, so the system has many solutions; each such solution is called a feasible solution of the LP.
Basis
A basis of the LP is a nonsingular submatrix of A, with all m rows and only m<n columns.
Sometimes, the term basis is used not for the submatrix itself, but for the set of indices of its columns. Let B be a subset of m indices from {1,...,n}. Denote by the square m-by-m matrix made of the m columns of indexed by B. If is nonsingular, the columns indexed by B are a basis of the column space of . In this case, we call B a basis of the LP.
Since the rank of is m, it has at least one basis; since has n columns, it has at most bases.
Basic feasible solution
Given a basis B, we say that a feasible solution is a basic feasible solution with basis B if all its non-zero variables are indexed by B, that is, for all .
Properties
1. A BFS is determined only by the constraints of the LP (the matrix and the vector ); it does not depend on the optimization objective.
2. By definition, a BFS has at most m non-zero variables and at least n-m zero variables. A BFS can have less than m non-zero variables; in that case, it can have many different bases, all of which contain the indices of its non-zero variables.
3. A feasible solution is basic if-and-only-if the columns of the matrix are linearly independent, where K is the set of indices of the non-zero elements of .
4. Each basis determines a unique BFS: for each basis B of m indices, there is at most one BFS with basis B. This is because must sat |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too%2C%20Too%20Solid%20Flesh | Too, Too Solid Flesh is a cyberpunk murder mystery by Nick O'Donohoe. It was published by TSR in 1989.
Synopsis
In a dystopian future, Capek the roboticist builds a troupe of androids specifically to perform Hamlet. When he is murdered, the Prince Hamlet android decides to investigate.
Reception
Dragon commended O'Donohoe's portrayal of the "characters [as] true both to their theatrical roles and their larger personalities", stating that the novel was "among the most thoughtful examinations of roles and role-playing", but noted that readers unfamiliar with Shakespeare may be confused. Io9 included it on a list of "coolest Shakespeare riffs in science fiction and fantasy". Shakespearean scholar Todd Borlik compared it to Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, with "a genuine philosophical intelligence belied by its pulp fiction exterior", lauding O'Donohoe for having "ingeniously retool(ed)" Hamlet in order to "exalt the post-human"; Borlik also noted the dramatic irony of Horatio being a human pretending to be an android who had infiltrated a troupe of androids pretending to be humans, and then being unable to pass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVUT | KVUT (99.7 FM) is a terrestrial American radio station, broadcasting programming from National Public Radio (NPR) along with local news, weather, and community information. During evenings and overnight, KVUT airs jazz music via PubJazz. Licensed to Cuney, Texas, United States, the station is owned by The University of Texas at Tyler.
The station began broadcasting in "soft launch" mode - testing programming - on May 13, 2021, with a public event to celebrate the station pending in the fall of 2021.
During this "soft launch", the station carried news programs from NPR and APM such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Here and Now, and Marketplace in the day and jazz music from the UT Tyler Jazz Ensemble at night.
KVUT officially launched September 14, 2021. Local programming consists of news and public affairs, with more local content to be added over time.
History
KVUT was initially proposed by New Wavo Communications Group, owners of co-channel KVST in Huntsville, Texas, through a short form application filed with the Federal Communications Commission and granted on November 6, 2015. The facility's transmission site was proposed to be constructed near the small town of Cuney, giving the community its first licensed aural service.
The construction permit was granted the call sign KSOC on October 18, 2017. The proposed facility was permitted to operate, once licensed, at an ERP of 100 watts, from an elevation of -9.8 meters height above average terrain. New Wavo Communications Group sold the construction permit for the facility to North Texas Radio Group, L.P. on August 14, 2017. The facility callsign was changed to KOEE on September 18, 2018, inheriting the set from its sister station in Tipton, Oklahoma, which in turn, became KSOC. The KSOC callsign was long utilized by Urban One Adult Contemporary station KZMJ in the Metroplex, as "K-Soul 94.5". The callsign historically stands for Soul Of the City.
KOEE signed on the air on October 10, 2018, and received an initial License to Cover from the Federal Communications Commission on October 22, 2018.
The station changed its call sign to KVUT on December 19, 2019.
On June 16, 2020, North Texas Radio Group, LP filed to transfer the license of KVUT to The University of Texas at Tyler, after a deal was reached to sell the station to the University for $120,000. UT Tyler has relaunched KVUT as an NPR and APM affiliated station, featuring news and talk programming, as well as jazz music in evenings and overnight.
The facility itself has been relocated to a University-owned site in Bullard, where it operates with 1,600 watts @ 154 meters, adding Tyler and Jacksonville to its expanded coverage area. Studios for the station are located on the main campus of The University of Texas at Tyler, 3900 University Blvd. in Tyler; KVUT broadcasts from within the R. Don Cowan Fine and Performing Arts Center (otherwise known as the Cowan Center).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian%20crash%20avoidance%20mitigation | Pedestrian crash avoidance mitigation (PCAM) systems (USDOT Volpe Center), also known as pedestrian protection or detection systems, use computer and artificial intelligence technology to recognize pedestrians and bicycles in an automobile's path to take action for safety. PCAM systems are often part of a pre-collision system available in several high end car manufacturers, such as Volvo and Mercedes and Lexus, and used less widely in lower end cars such as Ford and Nissan. As of 2018 using 2016 data, more than 6,000 pedestrians and 800 cyclists are killed every year in the US in car crashes. Effective systems deployed widely could save up to 50% of these lives. More than 270,000 pedestrians are killed every year in the world. An excellent analysis of technology capabilities and limitations is provided in Death of Elaine Herzberg. Pedestrian safety has traditionally taken a secondary role to passenger safety.
Availability
Typically, PCAM systems are part of the technology in self-driving cars and use an integrated forward-facing camera and radar or lidar system designed to help mitigate or avoid a frontal crash. However, PCAM technologies do not require self-driving technologies, just cameras and radar. Sometimes, these can be enhanced with the addition of low-light detection for pedestrians and bicycles. In 2016, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officially announced that automakers in the U.S. have to include the autonomous emergency braking system as a standard feature for all cars and trucks by 2022: this is a key component of PCAM. A detailed explanation for manufacturers offering emergency braking as part of a pre-collision system and often PCAM is provided in Collision avoidance system.
Functions
Under certain conditions, if the PCAM systems determine that the possibility of a frontal crash with a pedestrian or bicyclist is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake by using an audio and visual alert. If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may use some sort of brake assist to provide additional braking force.
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the PCAM determine that the risk of collision with a pedestrian or bicycle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed to help mitigate the impact or avoid the collision entirely if possible. Usually, this is a setting the driver must make to initiate earlier, but it can be the default.
Technology
In order to recognize a pedestrian, the computational system uses AI pattern recognition technology that typically uses machine learning and deep convolutional neural networks based on millions of images. In a simplified description, images from the car's camera and radar are compared to the prototypes stored in the computer. If a match is made and confirmed, the other systems in the PCAM are invoked. PCAM technologies can be improved with additional informatio |

In 2007, Asetek announced its first OEM design to be used by HPs Blackbird Gaming PC. In 2008 Acer used Asetek to cool its new Predator Gaming PCs. In 2009, Dell made liquid cooling a standard feature on its Alienware computers.
Gen 3
The gen 3 pump was released in 2010. It offered a reduced size when compared to their gen 2 but without compromising performance. The reduced height aimed to facilitate the cooling of GPUs such as the GTX 580 from PNY Technologies. These pumps are used by Corsair, PNY and Antec. They can be identified by the exposed motor portion on the cap.
Gen 4
The gen 4 pump platform was released in 2012. It brought advances in the liquid flow and thermal performance compared to gen 3. The exposed section of the motor was removed from the top of the pump. It was the most-used platform in the company's history, being used by Corsair, NZXT, Thermaltake, Dell, HP, Intel and other companies.
Gen 5
The gen 5 pump was released in 2015. It offered reduced noise and increased thermal performance. It achieved this through material and chamber optimizations. Gen 5 also brought a more efficient motor. The side inlets/outlets of the previous generations were replaced with a vertical inlet and outlet.
Gen 6
First revealed at Computex by Corsair in 2017 and released in 2018 by Corsair with the release of the H150i and the H115i. As of yet Asus, Corsair and Gigabyte have released gen 6 Asetek pumps. Gen 6 pumps go back to the side-mounted inlet and outlet like gen 4 pumps. They also have a smaller cold-plate, the first change to the cold-plate in years.
Products
Asetek manufactures and designs many OEM liquid cooling pumps for computers, both for data centers and desktop computers. The water coolers are used to cool Central processing units (CPUs) and Graphics processing units (GPUs).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan%20Inuit%20Trails%20Atlas | The Pan Inuit Trails Atlas is an interactive database that depicts traditional place names and routes used by the Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, showing connections between Inuit communities from Greenland to Alaska, focusing on the eastern Canadian arctic region. The database is a geospatially-organized collection of material drawn from published and unpublished sources held in public libraries and archives throughout Canada.
History
The atlas was created from 1999 to 2014 by a team consisting of individuals from the Cartographic Research Centre at Carleton University, the Marine Affairs Program at Dalhousie University, and the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University. The research was co-directed by Claudio Aporta (Dalhousie University), Michael Bravo (Cambridge University), and Fraser Taylor (Carleton University). The atlas was featured in the 2014 documentary The Polar Sea. Funding was procured from the Canadian federal research-funding agency Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
Description
The atlas documents the historical and present communities established and the land, sea, and ice routes travelled. It also contains information about geographical features. The maps are published on a dedicated website using Google Maps, with each marked feature accompanied by anecdotes and other details. These are intended as an educational resource, not a navigational aid. Taylor states that more research is necessary to document other regions, including Labrador, arctic Quebec, and the western Canadian arctic. The creators hope to expand the atlas with information about the Inupiat, Inuvialuit, and peoples of Nunatsiavut and Nunavik.
The network of trails and routes were often created for hunting, and were seasonal based on animal migration, including open water routes in the summer and ice routes in the winter. Others were used for trade and communication. Trails depicted include those travelled by foot, sled, and boat, many of which are still used today.
Sources used to create the maps include the lore of Inuit elders, maps from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and unpublished documents from explorers, ethnographers, and visitors preceding the Inuit resettlement of the early twentieth century. The source maps from which information was culled are published on the Pan Inuit Trails Atlas website.
The maps also provide an additional point of argument for the Government of Canada to claim that the Northwest Passage through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago is part of the Canadian Internal Waters and thus under Canadian sovereignty. The maps document Inuit place names that "extend from the land onto the sea ice", and previous rulings by the International Court of Justice state that indigenous groups possess rights to areas they have traditionally occupied.
Some of the traditional trails have been modified recently with "deviations or detours from original routes" to mitigate sea ice forming later in the autumn or break |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game%20of%20Games | Game of Games is an Australian TV game show hosted by Grant Denyer based on the American game show Ellen's Game of Games. It premiered on Network Ten on Sunday, 7 October 2018 at 7:30pm and on 24 November 2018 Channel Ten changed its timeslot to 7:00pm every Saturday. The first season concluded on 15 December 2018.
Series overview
Format
Game of Games has a similar format to its US counterpart, Ellen's Game of Games. The show consists of a number of preliminary games, a game of 'Know or Go' (with the four preliminary game winners competing in it) and then 'Hot Hands' (with the winner of 'Know or Go' competing for $50,000). In some episodes, 'Blindfolded Musical Chairs' acts as an extra semifinal round before 'Know or Go'. If 'Blindfolded Musical Chairs' is played, there are 5 preliminary rounds so that there are 5 players, so that the last player, who doesn't get a seat, is eliminated from playing in 'Know or Go'.
Every show begins with a short intro showing the games that would be played in the episode and the $50,000 prize available. It then introduces Grant Denyer by saying "It's game time!".
Preliminary games
Aw Snap!: Contestants are joined by a bungee cord. The first contestant to move five apples into a basket using only their teeth advances.
Danger Word: Two teams of two members each play this game. Similar to the game show Password, one person on each team is shown a "winning word" and must give clues to help their partner guess it. The two teams alternate giving clues; a correct guess earns a strike for the opposing team, whose guesser is then sprayed in the face with the contents of one of three cannons. Each round also features a secret "danger word" that is related to the winning word; if a guesser says the danger word, he/she is sprayed and his/her team earns a strike. The first team to earn three strikes is eliminated, and one member of the winning team advances to "Blindfolded Musical Chairs."
Dizzy Dash: The game starts with Grant reading aloud a trivia question to the contestants. Before contestants can answer, they are spun around in order to disorient them. To answer the question, the contestants must run to a nearby podium and grab the ball on top of it. The first contestant to answer three questions correctly advances to the next round.
Don't Leave Me Hanging: In this game, three contestants are suspended in the air from harnesses. The contestants take turns to guess answers that fit a given category, such as "How Many Island Countries Can You Name?". A category ends when one contestant gives an incorrect answer, repeats a previous answer, or takes too long to respond; when that happens, the contestant gets a strike. A contestant who gets three strikes is eliminated and launched to the top of the studio. The winner would then advance to "Blindfolded Musical Chairs" or the next round.
Make It Rain: For this game, two contestants answer trivia questions asked by Grant for turns at pulling down one of several umbrellas |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison%20Harcourt | Alison Grant Harcourt (; born 24 November 1929) is an Australian mathematician and statistician most well-known for co-defining the branch and bound algorithm along with Ailsa Land whilst carrying out research at the London School of Economics. She was also part of the team which developed a poverty line as part of the Henderson Inquiry into poverty in Australia and helped to introduce the double randomisation method of ordering candidates used in Australian elections.
Early life and education
Harcourt was born Alison Doig in Colac, Victoria, in 1929. Her father was Keith Doig, a physician and Australian rules footballer who received the Military Cross during World War I. Her mother, Louie Grant, was of Scottish descent and was sister to physicist Sir Kerr Grant.
She was schooled at Colac West State School, Colac High School and Fintona Girls' School. After her schooling, she enrolled at the University of Melbourne, gaining a Bachelor of Arts with a major in mathematics, and then a Bachelor of Science majoring in physics. While specialising in statistics undertaking a Master of Arts degree, she developed a technique for integer linear programming.
London School of Economics
On the basis of her work in linear programming, she started work at the London School of Economics (LSE) in the late 1950s. In 1960, Doig and fellow LSE mathematician Ailsa Land, published a landmark paper in the economics journal Econometrica ("An Automatic Method for Solving Discrete Programming Problems"), which outlined a branch and bound optimisation algorithm for solving NP-hard problems. The algorithm is the backbone idea behind all modern Integer programming solvers such as Gurobi, Cplex.
University of Melbourne
In 1963, Doig returned to Melbourne, where she took up a position as a senior lecturer in statistics at the University of Melbourne.
In the mid-1960s, she joined a team headed by the sociologist Ronald Henderson which was attempting to quantify the extent of poverty in Australia. The team developed the Henderson Poverty Line in 1973, which was the disposable income required to support the basic needs of a family of two adults and two dependent children. The techniques developed by the Henderson team have been used by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research to regularly update the poverty line for Australia since 1979.
In 1970, Harcourt took study leave in Sweden, where she co-authored two papers on theoretical chemistry—"A simple demonstration of Hund’s Rule for the helium 2S and 2P States" and "Wavefunctions for 4-electron 3-centre bonding"—with her husband, the chemist Richard Harcourt.
In 1975, following the dismissal of the Whitlam government, Harcourt and fellow statistician Malcolm Clark noticed irregularities in the distribution of party ordering on the Senate ballot papers for the 1975 federal election which was determined by drawing envelopes from a box, with Coalition parties holding one of the first two positions in ev |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantum | Lantum, formerly Network Locum, is an English company based in Shoreditch, London producing a platform and suite of tools for healthcare organisations to find and manage their clinical staff.
History
Lantum was started by Melissa Morris in 2012. who previously worked at the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Morris came up with the idea of Lantum in 2012 when she was working at McKinsey & Company and then at NHS London. She saw how expensive and wasteful the staffing industry was in healthcare and wanted to improve it. Lantum removes manual steps through automation and costs a fraction of a recruitment agency.
The business started out in 2012 as a blog for doctors and named #1 healthtech start up to watch. The business now works across staff types, UK-wide and can be used in any healthcare organisation.
In 2016 Network Locum changed their name to Lantum to reflect their strategy to becoming a software business rather than a labour marketplace. Their investors include Piton Capital, BGF Ventures, Samos and Beringea.
In November 2017, Lantum was selected by NHS England to join the NHS Innovation Accelerator, a program which highlights leading technologies within the NHS and helps them scale. It is said to have has saved the NHS £7.7 million and enabled more than 4.2 million GP appointments since 2012. The company claims it could save the NHS £1 billion every year by cutting out traditional recruitment agencies. It has expanded beyond GP practices to 13 hospitals and plans to cover more.
Lantum acquired Leicester-based rLocums in 2016 and popular GP invoicing tool Locum Organiser in 2017 to expand the product offering to its users. In 2018 it had 50 full-time employees.
In March 2022 20 of the NHS’s 40 integrated care systems had signed up to use the service. It raised $15 million investment. The COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom increased pressure on staffing issues. Lantum was used not just for paid staff but for volunteers in the vaccination centres.
Recognition
Morris was named the "third coolest female startup founder in Tech" and one of the "Top 100 coolest people in Tech" by Business Insider in 2017. She has been invited to write about the difficulty of technical innovation in the NHS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camels%20Head%20Halt%20railway%20station | Camels Head Halt railway station, named after a local public house in Plymouth, was opened as part of the city's suburban network by the London and South Western Railway in 1906, closing in 1942. It was located on the outskirts of the city in sight of the Great Western Railway main line that crossed the River Tamar by the Royal Albert Bridge.
Infrastructure
As stated the halt was named after a local pub and although it officially opened on 1 November 1906 it may have had services from Wednesday 26 September when the suburban service was actually launched. This difference could be the result of a complaint by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway to the London and South Western Railway that while they had constructed the halt, the LSWR had not provided any service, with a subsequent report that services commenced before the official opening date.
Camels Head Halt closed on the Sunday 4 May 1942. A 1964 photograph shows one platform, still with its nameboard, as a short wooden platform of a single carriage length, with fencing, ramps and no shelter. The halt was located on an embankment and the second similar platform was staggered, standing some distance away next to the road with a small brick built shelter and a second building, possibly a ticket office, backing on to the line. The Camels Head girder bridge stood close by on the route towards St Budeaux Victoria Road via Weston Mill Halt. Ford Station stood on the line to the east of the halt.
History
Officially opening on 1 November 1906 as one of a number of new halts that were opened to allow a suburban service to be operated between Plymouth Friary and St Budeaux for Saltash station in response to competition from tram lines. Despite this initiative Camels Head closed on 4 May 1942. The 1964 photograph shows the station, still standing and it was still present in 1970, long after the closure and lifting of the line.
The halt was the site of the first death after the new Halts were opened in the Plymouth area when on Friday 9 November 1906 Edna Martin was killed whilst playing with her older brother Stanley Martin, aged 8. Both were truanting from Johnston Terrace Elementary School and she ran onto the line when a train was approaching.
The trains were third class only and no Sunday service was provided. In 1922 five to seven trains called in the Down direction and seven in the Up. In 1942, twenty years further on, only one Up and Down train called with two on Saturdays.
The wooden platforms supposedly posed a fire threat to the local houses and this was the official reason for the closure of the station, however this was over a year after the Blitz on Devonport and photographs show that the platforms were not removed at all during the time that the line was in use.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ang%20Probinsyano%20%28season%206%29 | The sixth season of Ang Probinsyano, a Philippine action drama television series on ABS-CBN, premiered on September 24, 2018, on the network's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide on The Filipino Channel and concluded on April 5, 2019, after a total of 140 episodes, and following the celebration of its third anniversary. The series stars Coco Martin as SPO2 Ricardo Dalisay, together with an ensemble cast.
The sixth season of Ang Probinsyano follows Cardo and Vendetta's continued struggle against Lucas Cabrera, now President of the Philippines and Renato Hipolito. After rescuing the incumbent President Oscar Hidalgo from an assassination plot intended to supplant him as president, Vendetta must now find a way to restore Hidalgo back to the Presidency.
Elsewhere, Vendetta will also have to deal with Don Emilio Syquia who has reemerged from hiding. Now going by the name Señor Gustavo Torralba, his newfound criminal empire enjoys the protection of the Cabrera administration through the auspices of Hipolito.
As Vendetta makes its way back to Manila, their path will cross with the arrival of the baglady and bureaucrat of the Cabrera administration, Lily Ann Cortez (Lorna Tolentino). Lily plans on making the conflict between Vendetta and the Cabrera Administration more direct and emerge with the spoils from whoever it is left standing.
Plot
Vendetta finally obtains the trust of Oscar Hidalgo (Rowell Santiago) following another assassination attempt on his life, which was timely prevented by Cardo (Coco Martin) and Vendetta with Hidalgo witnessing everything that transpired. Now aware of the true colors of his supposed political allies, Hidalgo resolves to regain the presidency which Lucas Cabrera (Edu Manzano) unlawfully stole from him.
After the unlawful arrest of General Borja (Jaime Fàbregas) before interrogating him to find Vendetta's whereabouts, they had a party along with Lucas and Brandon Cabrera (Mark Anthony Fernandez) at the PNP Headquarters and one of Lucas' allies Albert Hernandez (Franco Laurel) was chosen by Lucas to become his Vice President as PNP Chief Alejandro Terante (Soliman Cruz) became angered due to Renato Hipolito's (John Arcilla) negative and sarcastic remarks.
Meanwhile, Lola Flora (Susan Roces) became more stressed since Konsehala Gina Magtanggol (Mitch Valdes) and her cohorts destroyed her eatery especially after hearing of what happened to her brother while being informed by Billy (John Medina).
With the Philippine Government worsening due to its corruption created by Lucas and his administration, Cardo informs Oscar that they need to make their move. Therefore, Jerome quickly informs Cardo about what happened to his grandfather after being informed by Billy that General Borja was not detained at Camp Crame but in a military camp where he was pummeled and tortured by Terante and his group and they were concealing their corruptive acts by blaming Vendetta. Oscar knows that their actions were illegal. Worried |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational%20artificial%20intelligence | Operational artificial intelligence, or operational AI, is a type of intelligent system designed for real-world applications, particularly at commercial scale. The term is used to distinguish accessible artificially intelligent (AI) systems from fundamental AI research and from industrial AI applications which are not integrated with the routine usage of a business. The definition of operational AI differs throughout the IT industry, where vendors and individual organizations often create their own custom definitions of such processes and services for the purpose of marketing their own products.
Applications include text analytics, advanced analytics, facial and image recognition, machine learning, and natural language generation.
Definitions
According to a white paper by software company Tupl Inc, continuous machine learning model training and results extraction in the telecom industry requires a large number of automation utilities in order to "facilitate the development and deployment of a multitude of use cases, the collection and correlation of the data, the creation and training of the models, and the operation at telecom-grade levels of security and availability".
Researchers in the University of Waterloo's Artificial Intelligence Group describe operational AI in terms of the focus on applications that bring value to products and company. University of Waterloo Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Fakhri Karray describes operational AI as "application of AI for the masses". Canada Research Chair and Associate Professor Alexander Wong (professor) describes operational AI as AI for "anyone, anywhere, anytime."
Related terms
Industrial AI refers to intelligent systems applied for business at any scale and for any use case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tello%20Mobile | Tello Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) founded in 2016 that uses the T-Mobile network to provide talk, text, and data to its customers. Tello originally used the Sprint network, but transitioned to the T-Mobile network after the T-Mobile and Sprint merger. The company has headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
Services
Tello is a prepaid cell phone service (MVNO) that in 2022 operates on the T-Mobile network and the Sprint network.
Products and history
The company was founded in 2016. The headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tello Mobile gives options to choose the number of minutes, text messages, or data that can be used. Alternatively, they can choose a pay-as-you-go/prepaid mobile plan. Tello's highest priced plan is the Unlimited Data plan.
On January 7, 2020, Tello announced the launch of its unlimited phone plan. On February 12, 2020, the company added family plans to its variety of phone plans offering its customers the possibility to add extra lines at no added cost. There can be an unlimited number of additional lines, each with their own phone number and Tello plan.
Products are developed based on a no-contract policy, and are available exclusively online. Users pay for their service based on their usage of data, and no separate tethering fees are charged by Tello to share a connection with laptops or other Wi-Fi capable devices.
Tello Mobile has supported devices that run on Sprint (CDMA), but migrated existing subscribers to the T-Mobile (GSM) network.
CDMA connectivity via the Sprint network remained until the end of 2021. After that time subscribers are required to have a GSM VoLTE/HD Voice device to use Tello. Tello allows devices to be purchased directly from the company, or for existing "unlocked" GSM phones to be switched over to their service. The company provides a compatibility checker to help customers determine if their device is compatible.
On January 18, 2021, Tello began enrolling customers with GSM VoLTE/HD Voice-compatible phones, incompatible with the Sprint CDMA network. A GSM VoLTE/HD Voice device is now required for new customers on Tello.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2018–19 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 12, 2019, followed by Fox on May 13, ABC on May 14, CBS on May 15, and The CW on May 16, 2019.
PBS is not included, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules comprise syndicated reruns. The CW does not air network programming on Saturday nights.
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
The TV season was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the full impact of the health catastrophe did not hit until March 2020, by which time the network shows had already filmed the majority of their seasons' scripts, the entire primetime slate halted production that spring and did not resume it until the fall of 2020.

Note: As with the two previous seasons, NBC aired all new live episodes of Saturday Night Live in real time with the rest of the United States, placing it in that time period for the Pacific and Mountain time viewers beginning September 28, with a rebroadcast following the late local news in those time zones. The network's affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii, and other Pacific Islands will continued to air the show on a delay. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, three "At Home" editions of the series have aired, but have been pre-compiled and edited before broadcast, airing after the late local news in all time zones.
Note: Due to the suspension of the 2019–20 NBA season, NBA Saturday Primetime games were replaced by encores of ABC programming, as well as docuseries The Last Dance. The 76ers-Warriors game on March 7 wound up being the "season finale" for NBA Saturday Primetime, as the Warriors were not invited to Orlando when the NBA resumed play in July.
Note: Fox aired primetime PBC Fight Cards throughout its Late summer programming schedule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha%20Noy | Natasha Fridman Noy is a Russian-born American Research scientist who works at Google Research in Mountain View, CA, who focuses on making structured data more accessible and usable. She is the team leader for Dataset Search, a web-based search engine for all datasets. Natasha worked at Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research before joining Google, where she made significant contributions to ontology building and alignment, as well as collaborative ontology engineering. Natasha is on the Editorial Boards of many Semantic Web and Information Systems publications and is the Immediate Past President of the Semantic Web Science Association. From 2011 to 2017, she was the president of the Semantic Web Science Association.
Education
Natasha Noy earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from Moscow State University, a master's degree in computer science from Boston University and a doctorate from Northeastern University. Her thesis focused on knowledge-rich documents, in particular information retrieval for scientific articles.
Career and research
Noy moved from Northeastern to Stanford University, to work with Mark Musen on the Protégé ontology editor as a postdoctoral researcher, and later as a research scientist. It was here that she completed her important work on Prompt, an environment for automated ontology alignment, which was published in 2002. For recognizing the specifics of the problem and providing an inventive solution, this study received the AAAI classic paper award in 2018. By far her most widely distributed work, however, was the Ontology 101 tutorial, which Noy developed as part of the education program for Protégé customers, the tutorial became a standard introductory document for the semantic web and ontologies, It has been cited nearly 6800 times as of 2018, and downloaded often.
Google Dataset Search
In April 2014, Noy went to Google Research; Google has released a search engine to help researchers find publicly available online data. On September 5, the program was launched, and it is aimed towards "scientists, data journalists, data geeks, or anybody else." Dataset Search, which is now following Google's other specialized search engines including news and picture search, as well as Google Scholar and Google Books, locates files and databases based on how their owners have categorised them. It does not read the content of the files in the same manner that search engines read web pages. Researchers who want to know what kinds of data are accessible or who want to find data that they already know exists, according to Natasha Noy, must often rely on word of mouth, this problem is particularly acute, according to Noy, for early-career academics who have yet to "connect" into a network of professional ties. Noy and her Google colleague Dan Brickley wrote a blog post in January 2017 proposing a solution to the problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI%20Five | OpenAI Five is a computer program by OpenAI that plays the five-on-five video game Dota 2. Its first public appearance occurred in 2017, where it was demonstrated in a live one-on-one game against the professional player, Dendi, who lost to it. The following year, the system had advanced to the point of performing as a full team of five, and began playing against and showing the capability to defeat professional teams.
By choosing a game as complex as Dota 2 to study machine learning, OpenAI thought they could more accurately capture the unpredictability and continuity seen in the real world, thus constructing more general problem-solving systems. The algorithms and code used by OpenAI Five were eventually borrowed by another neural network in development by the company, one which controlled a physical robotic hand. OpenAI Five has been compared to other similar cases of artificial intelligence (AI) playing against and defeating humans, such as AlphaStar in the video game StarCraft II, AlphaGo in the board game Go, Deep Blue in chess, and Watson on the television game show Jeopardy!.
History
Development on the algorithms used for the bots began in November 2016. OpenAI decided to use Dota 2, a competitive five-on-five video game, as a base due to it being popular on the live streaming platform Twitch, having native support for Linux, and had an application programming interface (API) available. Before becoming a team of five, the first public demonstration occurred at The International 2017 in August, the annual premiere championship tournament for the game, where Dendi, a professional Ukrainian player of the game, lost against an OpenAI bot in a live one-on-one matchup. After the match, CTO Greg Brockman explained that the bot had learned by playing against itself for two weeks of real time, and that the learning software was a step in the direction of creating software that can handle complex tasks "like being a surgeon". OpenAI used a methodology called reinforcement learning, as the bots learn over time by playing against itself hundreds of times a day for months, in which they are rewarded for actions such as killing an enemy and destroying towers.
By June 2018, the ability of the bots expanded to play together as a full team of five and were able to defeat teams of amateur and semi-professional players. At The International 2018, OpenAI Five played in two games against professional teams, one against the Brazilian-based paiN Gaming and the other against an all-star team of former Chinese players. Although the bots lost both matches, OpenAI still considered it a successful venture, stating that playing against some of the best players in Dota 2 allowed them to analyze and adjust their algorithms for future games. The bots' final public demonstration occurred in April 2019, where they won a best-of-three series against The International 2018 champions OG at a live event in San Francisco.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20volume | Quantum volume is a metric that measures the capabilities and error rates of a quantum computer. It expresses the maximum size of square quantum circuits that can be implemented successfully by the computer. The form of the circuits is independent from the quantum computer architecture, but compiler can transform and optimize it to take advantage of the computer's features. Thus, quantum volumes for different architectures can be compared.
The current world record for highest quantum volume is 219, accomplished by Quantinuum's H1-1 20-qubit ion trap quantum computer.
Introduction
Quantum computers are difficult to compare. Quantum volume is a single number designed to show all around performance. It is a measurement and not a calculation, and takes into account several features of a quantum computer, starting with its number of qubits—other measures used are gate and measurement errors, crosstalk and connectivity.
IBM defined its Quantum Volume metric because a classical computer's transistor count and a quantum computer's quantum bit count aren't the same. Qubits decohere with a resulting loss of performance so a few fault tolerant bits are more valuable as a performance measure than a larger number of noisy, error-prone qubits.
Generally, the larger the quantum volume, the more complex the problems a quantum computer can solve.
Alternative benchmarks, such as Cross-entropy benchmarking and IonQ's Algorithmic Qubits, have also been proposed.
Definition
Original Definition
The quantum volume of a quantum computer was originally defined in 2018 by Nikolaj Moll et al. However, since around 2021 that definition has been supplanted by IBM's 2019 redefinition.
The original definition depends on the number of qubits N as well as the number of steps that can be executed, the circuit depth d
The circuit depth depends on the effective error rate as
The effective error rate is defined as the average error rate of a two-qubit gate. If the physical two-qubit gates do not have all-to-all connectivity, additional SWAP gates may be needed to implement an arbitrary two-qubit gate and , where is the error rate of the physical two-qubit gates. If more complex hardware gates are available, such as the three-qubit Toffoli gate, it is possible that .
The allowable circuit depth decreases when more qubits with the same effective error rate are added. So with these definitions, as soon as , the quantum volume goes down if more qubits are added. To run an algorithm that only requires qubits on an N-qubit machine, it could be beneficial to select a subset of qubits with good connectivity. For this case, Moll et al. give a refined definition of quantum volume.
where the maximum is taken over an arbitrary choice of n qubits.
IBM's redefinition
In 2019, IBM's researchers modified the quantum volume definition to be an exponential of the circuit size, stating that it corresponds to the complexity of simulating the circuit on a classical computer:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeforces | Codeforces is a website that hosts competitive programming contests. It is maintained by a group of competitive programmers from ITMO University led by Mikhail Mirzayanov. Since 2013, Codeforces claims to surpass Topcoder in terms of active contestants. As of 2018, it has over 600,000 registered users. Codeforces along with other similar websites are used by some sport programmers, like Gennady Korotkevich, Petr Mitrichev, Benjamin Qi and Makoto Soejima, and by other programmers interested in furthering their careers.
Overview
The Codeforces platform is typically used when preparing for competitive programming contests and it offers the following features:
Short (2-hours) contests, called "Codeforces Rounds", held about once a week
Educational contests (2-2.5 hours, with 12 hours (24 hours before Round 45) hacking period), held 2-3 times per month;
Challenge/hack other contestants' solutions;
Solve problems from previous contests for training purposes;
"Polygon" feature for creating and testing problems;
Social networking through internal public blogs.
Rating system
Contestants are rated by a system similar to Elo rating system. There are usually no prizes for winners, though several times a year special contests are held, in which top performing contestants receive T-shirts. Some bigger contests are hosted on Codeforces base, among them "The Lyft Level 5 Challenge 2018", provided by Lyft or "Microsoft Q# Coding Contest — Summer 2018" provided by Microsoft.
Contestants are divided into ranks based on their ratings. Since May 2018, users with ratings between 1900 and 2099 can be rated in both Div. 1 and Div. 2 contests. At the same time, Div. 3 was created for users rated below 1600. There is also a Div. 4, which is for users rated below 1400.
History
Codeforces was created by a group of competitive programmers from Saratov State University led by Mike Mirzayanov. It was originally created for those interested in solving tasks and taking part in competitions. The first Codeforces Round was held on the February 19, 2010 with 175 participants. As of the end of August 2022, over 800 rounds were held, with over 9000 registered competitors per round on average. Before 2012, Codeforces Rounds were titled "Codeforces Beta Rounds" to indicate that the system was still under development.
Academic use
Codeforces is recommended by many universities. According to Daniel Sleator, professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, competitive programming is valuable in computer science education, because competitors learn to adapt classic algorithms to new problems, thereby improving their understanding of algorithmic concepts. He has used Codeforces problems in his class, 15-295: Competition Programming and Problem Solving.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afiniti | Afiniti Ltd., also called Afiniti, is an American multinational data and software company. Founded in 2005, Afiniti is focused on developing artificial intelligence for use in customer call centers. Afiniti is a unicorn company with a valuation of $1.6 billion in 2017.
History
2005–2016
In 2005, Afiniti was founded in Washington, D.C. by Zia Chishti, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker who had previously co-founded Align Technology, with the help of his partners at The Resource Group (TRG), Hasnain Aslam and Mohammed Khaishgi of the Kheshgi family. In 2008, the company submitted several patents related to matching caller data with computer models, which were granted in 2014. In late 2016, the company confidentially filed for a potential future initial public offering (IPO). Around that time, Afiniti also introduced software to run phone numbers "through a variety of databases prior to when a call center agent picks up the phone." The system referred to around 100 databases to gather information on callers, including from public profiles such as Twitter. According to Fortune magazine, the system operated on "the idea that it's possible, using thousands of call records, to determine which agents perform best with certain type of customers."
2017–2018
According to The Wall Street Journal, by January 2017, the company had installed its artificial intelligence software in around 150 call centers for several dozen companies, among them Caesars Entertainment Corporation and Sprint. In 2017, the company closed a fourth round of venture funding, bringing in $80 million from investors such as GAM, McKinsey & Co, Elisabeth Murdoch, and John Browne. The round brought the company's total funding raised since its inception to $100 million. Afiniti signed a deal with Huawei in September 2017 and Avaya in April 2018.
In January 2018, Fortune magazine included Afiniti on its list of the 100 companies "leading the way in A.I." By June 2018, Afiniti had been active in 18 countries and had 1,000 employees. According to Chishti, the company saw 100 percent revenue growth each year between 2013 and 2017.
2021
In November 2021, Zia Chishti stepped down as chairman, chief executive officer and director following allegations of sexual assault to an employee made in testimony to the United States House Committee on the Judiciary. The former UK prime minister David Cameron left his role as chair of Afiniti's advisory board following the allegations.
Services and technology
According to the company, its software uses AI to boost company's efficiency by "predicting interpersonal behavior" between the callers and agents. VentureBeat explains that "when a customer calls into a call center, Afiniti matches their phone number — either landline or cellphone — with any information tied to it from up to 100 databases. These databases carry purchase history, income, and other demographic information."<ref Data on customers is collected from the customers and from data b |

Precup is associate dean of research at the faculty of science at McGill University, Canada research chair in machine learning and a senior fellow at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. She also heads the Montreal office of Deepmind.
Education
Precup said she was drawn to the field of artificial intelligence at a young age by her interest in science fiction, where robots are often portrayed as useful and benevolent. Her mother was a university professor of computer science in Romania.
She obtained a bachelor of science degree in computer science and engineering (magna cum laude) at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca in 1994, followed by a master of science in 1995. She left Romania in 1995 on a Fulbright scholarship to pursue graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she earned a master's degree in 1997 and a PhD in 2000.
Several women in Precup's family have had successful careers in science and the science program in her high school in Romania was well attended by girls. She only became aware of the gender imbalance in sciences and technology when she moved to North America. She decided to get involved in correcting this situation and does so as the co-founder and advisor of the AI4Good Lab, an organization that aims at getting more women to study and work in artificial intelligence.
Career in artificial intelligence
Precup was recruited as an assistant professor by McGill University's School of Computer Science in 2000 and has since been living in the Montreal area.
In 2017, Precup was appointed to lead the Montreal office of the artificial intelligence firm Deepmind, which is owned by Google.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Drop%20Bus%20/%20Internal%20Communication%20Protocol | Multi-Drop Bus / Internal Communication Protocol (MDB/ICP) is the latest, US-European iteration of a multidrop bus computer networking protocol used within the vending machine industry, currently published by the American National Automatic Merchandising Association and supported by the European Vending Association and the European Vending Machine Manufacturers Association. It is based on earlier protocols (also known as MDB in the US) dating back to at least the early 1990s.
Mechanism
The multidrop bus used by vending machine controllers to communicate with the vending machine's components, such as a currency detector, is also called MDB (for Multi-Drop Bus). In use since the 1980s, it is now an open standard of the National Automatic Merchandising Association, or NAMA. The devices communicate in a single-master, multiple-slave configuration using the MDB protocol, which is based on a Motorola 9-bit UART implemented as an 8-bit data value with an additional mode bit. The mode bit differentiates between ADDRESS and DATA bytes. The master sends messages containing one address byte and a variable number of data bytes. The bus "slave devices" listen for an address, and if it matches their address that slave device will process the message and respond to the master. Though 9-bit compliant UARTs are not popular in PCs, they can be found in many microcontrollers.
The physical connection is realized as a serial bus with a fixed data rate of . There are just 2 communications signals plus the essential common-ground reference signal. The TX signal goes from the MASTER to every SLAVE device. The RX signal goes from every SLAVE device to the MASTER device. Both signals have pull-ups. The bus is driven at every transmitter by an open collector transistor driver, and isolated at each receiver with an opto-isolator - though cable harnesses carrying the communication signals may also carry 24-volt power and ground signals to devices, meaning the devices may not be isolated from each other as they share the same power bus. Some devices, however, may have alternate power supplies, especially devices with motors and high current needs such as vintage bill acceptors or currency detector devices.
History
MDB originated as a proprietary bus used by CoinCo for their coin-acceptors in the late 1980s and was deployed in high volume in vending machines for Coca-Cola. Coke forced CoinCo to open-source it in 1992 to increase competition, and NAMA released the first version of the standard in 1995, allowing other vendors to compete for the coin-acceptor portion of the vending machines (CoinCo and Mars were the 2 major suppliers in North America at the time) and also enabled alternative payment schemes (e.g. Smartcard based) to be connected to existing vending machines.
Bus addressing is based on the device type only, which allows for a very simple protocol stack, as no initial enumeration needs to be performed.
