https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens%20Metro%20rolling%20stock | Electric Multiple Units (EMU) are powered on the metro network of Athens, with five or six coaches. EMU-5s are of a former type and are limited to Line 1. On Lines 2 and 3, routes are only operated with EMU-6s. The trainsets were put into operation by STASY (Statheres Sygkoinonies) in 2011, with its establishment (previously operated from the companies ISAP S.A. for Line 1 and AMEL S.A. for Lines 2&3).
Line 1 Historical stock
Steam locomotives
SAP (Athens-Piraeus Railway Company)
In the early period (1869–1904) the railway used 22 steam tank locomotives of about 6 different types. The majority were of 2-4-0T configuration, made in the United Kingdom by Hudswell Clarke and Sharp Stewart. After electrification, some the steam locomotives were sold to the Hellenic State Railways (SEK).
Lavrion Square–Strofyli railway
Initially Attica Railways used nine Tubize 0-6-2T steam locomotives (1885). Later it acquired nine Krauss Z 2-6-0T, plus one of the same type constructed in Piraeus by Vassiliadis Works. After 1929 only the Tubize locomotives remained in use on the Kifissia line, as the Krauss locomotives were transferred to SPAP for the Lavrion branch.
First generation EMUs
Since electrification (1904) the railway used almost exclusively electric multiple unit (EMU) trains. The vehicles are classified in batches (or deliveries). The first four batches consisted of wooden passenger cars on iron or steel frames. Currently only a train of six wooden railcars is preserved, modified with the addition of Scharfenberg couplers at each end and is displayed during special events.
The first generation rolling stock was numbered as in the following table:
Second generation EMUs
The fifth (1951), sixth (1958) and seventh (1968) batches were of steel construction, made by Siemens-MAN. At the same time Scharfenberg couplers were introduced.
Third generation EMUs
Trains of batch 9 were made by LEW in the German Democratic Republic and have been withdrawn. Trains of batches 8,10,11 which also part of third generation EMUs are still in use.
Other rolling stock
In 1904 two electric locomotives, numbered 20 and 21, were bought from Thomson-Houston.
In 1911 the railway bought from Goossens two steeple-cab electric locomotives (numbered 31 and 32) and a self-propelled electric freight railcar (41), capable of operating from third rail or overhead line. These could operate over the Piraeus Harbour tramway, the Piraeus-Perama light railway as well as on the mainline to Thision and Omonoia. Freight railcar 41 was used initially to carry bags of transcontinental mail unloaded from passenger liners in Piraeus. Locomotive 32 is still in use, with the overhead collector removed.
In addition the railway owns a road-rail Unimog car and a ballast tamper.
During 1981–1984 ISAP leased six four-car, bright yellow trains of narrow loading gauge (type G-I or Gisela) from East Berlin's metro.
In the early 1980s consideration was given to the purchase of 60 secondhand cars of |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libby%20Heaney | Libby Heaney is a British artist and quantum physicist known for her pioneering work on AI and quantum computing. She works on the impact of future technologies and is widely known to be the first artist to use quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium. Her work has been featured internationally, including in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Modern and the Science Gallery.
Early life and scientific career
Heaney is from Tamworth, Staffordshire. She studied physics at Imperial College London, graduating in 2005 with first class honours. Libby pursued a successful career in quantum physics, completing a PhD thesis on mode entanglement in ultra-cold atomic gases at the University of Leeds, and pursued her own research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and at the National University of Singapore. In 2008, Heaney was awarded the Institute of Physics Very Early Career Woman in Physics Award (now Jocelyn Bell Burnell Medal and Prize).
Artistic career
In 2013 Heaney returned to the UK and completed a master's degree at the University of the Arts London. She studied arts and science at Central Saint Martins and graduated in 2015. She then became a lecturer at the Royal College of Art, teaching Information Experience Design. In 2016, she created Lady Chatterley's Tinderbot which presented Tinder conversations between real users and AI bots programmed using Lady Chatterley's Lover. Lady Chatterley's Tinderbot was covered by BBC News, TheJournal.ie and the Irish Examiner and was exhibited internationally.
In 2017, Heaney was commissionned by Sky Arts and the Barbican Centre to design Britbot, an internet bot built using artificial intelligence and the citizenship book Life in the UK: a guide for new residents. The book, a manual for the citizenship test, has been described by Heaney as being "largely a white male privileged version of British history and culture". The bot spoke to the public about what it meant to be British and learnt from their responses to become an ever changing, plural version of Britishness. She was awarded an Arts Council England grant to widen participation of the Britbot to social media. Heaney has exhibited Britbot at the Victoria and Albert Museum, at CogX, the Sheffield Documentary Festival the Edinburgh TV festival, and Art Ai in Leicester.
She has been creating with quantum computing since 2019, and has created artworks using quantum computing for Light Art Space (LAS) in Berlin, Somerset House and arebyte in London. Using quantum code, storytelling, and immersive installations and performances, Libby Heaney's works such as Ent- and slimeqore explore and warn against the double-edged potential of quantum computing and its exploitation by private companies. In 2022, Ent- received the Lumen Prize immersive environment award.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBA%20on%20Fox | PBA on Fox is the branding used for Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) broadcasts produced by Fox Sports and airing on the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports 1 (FS1). On March 21, 2018, the PBA announced that Fox Sports signed a multi-year agreement to acquire the television rights to its events beginning in 2019 and running through at least 2022. Most events will be carried by FS1, but at least four events per season will air on the Fox broadcast network.
Terms of the deal
On March 21, 2018, Fox Sports announced that it had acquired the television rights for the PBA Tour, replacing ESPN, with a commitment for 26 broadcasts on Fox Sports 1 and four on Fox beginning in 2019 (totaling 58 hours, in comparison to the 30 hours of coverage provided by ESPN linear channels in 2018). To launch its coverage, Fox broadcast an invitational event, the PBA Clash, on December 23, 2018. Fox will air four events per-season, including the CP3 PBA Celebrity Invitational (which aired on the afternoon prior to the Super Bowl). Fox and FS1 will air 14 final rounds live, as compared to the four live broadcasts aired on ESPN in 2018. Fox Sports will also assume the role of sponsorship sales for the tour. The PBA saw the deal as an effort to increase media exposure for the tour and its top players.
In a similar manner to Fox's recent acquisition of NHRA drag racing, there will be a focus on developing new on-air features and technology to improve viewer understanding of the intricacies of the sport, and additional shoulder content. One such feature is StrikeTrack, a graphic (based on technology from the company Kegel) that displays the trajectory, speed, and rotation (RPM) of the ball as it travels down the lane. Broadcasting & Cable considered this feature akin to the network's "FoxTrax" system, infamously used during its National Hockey League coverage.
Fox and the PBA have declared their first year partnership a success. Through the June 2 PBA Playoffs final round, viewership on Fox, FS1 and FS2 (including reruns) was 20,923,000. This is up 85 percent from the 11,327,000 total viewers for all PBA telecasts in 2018 (on ESPN and CBS Sports Network). The February 10 PBA Tournament of Champions finals, broadcast on Fox, has had the highest 2019 first-run audience at 1,132,000 viewers. The ten PBA Tour Playoffs broadcasts drew a total of 7,941,000 viewers on FS1, FS2 and Fox.
Tournament schedule
On August 28, 2018, the PBA announced that all events televised on Fox and FS1, except for the USBC Masters, will only be open to members of the association. The USBC Masters has traditionally allowed qualifying USBC members who may not be PBA members to participate, and will continue to do so. PBA Xtra Frame Tour, PBA Regional Tour and PBA50 Tour events will also continue to allow qualifying non-members to participate.
The 2019 PBA Tournament of Champions and PBA Players Championship majors were held in February. In order to include it in Fox's new contract, the PBA's |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20A.%20Postley | John Appel Postley (November 29, 1924, Scarsdale, New York – August 1, 2004, Los Angeles, California) was an American entrepreneur. He is recognized as one of the founders of the computer software industry and creator of the first computer software products, Mark IV. Mark IV pioneered the concept and business model of software as a product and became the earliest successful example of that model. In conjunction with Mark IV, Postley was responsible for the creation of the first software users' group, the "IV League", and the first Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIGBDP, for business data processing).
Early life
Postley graduated from UCLA in 1945 with a degree in mathematics.
Career
Introduction to computers
In 1948 he became the first employee of the UCLA Institute for Numerical Analysis where he helped to build SWAC (Standards Western Automatic Computer), the second ever computer (after ENIAC), which was dedicated on August 17, 1950. Subsequently, Postley held posts at Northrop Corporation and Hughes Aircraft Company before moving to the RAND Corporation where he worked with John von Neumann among others. While at RAND, Postley became interested in the information-handling capabilities of computers, as opposed to their scientific uses.
Road to Mark IV
By 1959, Postley had determined that many non-scientific, business-type requirements that were common across applications and that functionality to address these requirements was being frequently recreated. He felt that it would be beneficial to gather users to discuss the issues. This led him to convene a conference at UCLA that was attended by over 500 people. One of the outcomes was the creation of the Special Interest Group on Business Data Processing (SIGBDP) in the Los Angeles ACM chapter, which at that time represented 10 percent of all ACM members. SIGBDP was the first ACM SIG and Postley served as the first Chairman of both the chapter SIG and the overall SIG. Almost a decade later, in 1967, to build community among Mark IV users Postley created the first software users' group, named the "IV League".
Along with Robert M. Hayes, he founded and ran Advanced Information Systems (AIS) which almost immediately became part of the Electrada Corporation when it went public in June, 1960, to pursue opportunities in data processing, information sciences and non-numerical computing. AIS focused on the development of the Generalized Information Retrieval and Listing System (GIRLS) for the IBM 704. In April, 1963, Postley sold AIS to Hughes Dynamics as a funding strategy and to increase product reach. When Howard Hughes began to lose interest in the computer services market in 1964, Postley facilitated the sale of AIS with its renamed and evolved the file-management product, Mark III, to Informatics General.
Changing the paradigm
In the late 1960s, almost all software was either created for a specific purpose or customized from a template. Software was gene |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportblitz | Sportblitz is the sports television programme of Radio Bremen, the smallest state broadcasting station in the German ARD network. It is broadcast weekdays at 6:06 p.m. (until September 2013 at 7:15 p.m., in former times also at 6:35 p.m.) on Radio Bremen TV, which is unique in the ARD media landscape in terms of frequency. The concept was developed in 1990 by Jörg Wontorra, the station's sports director at the time. From 1990 to 1992, the sportblitz was already being experimented with, with changing broadcast lengths, at that time still in the first programme of the ARD (today's Das Erste), where buten un binnen was also at home. The programme returned on 1 November 1994 at 6:35 p.m. after a two-year break - at the same time when the regional programme of Radio Bremen moved from the first to the third programme.
After one year of planning, the programme was restructured and was given new broadcasting times and a new studio set as of 1 September 2013.
In terms of content, the programme covers sports events in Bremen and Bremerhaven - usually an interview guest is invited. Most topics are Werder Bremen and basketball (Eisbären Bremerhaven)/ice hockey (Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven) related.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob%20Rubinovitz | Jacob Rubinovitz (born 6 September 1947, Hebrew יעקב רובינוביץ) is an Israeli scientist. He was the head of the Laboratory for robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) at the Technion.
Biography
Rubinovitz was born in Łódź, Poland, 6 September 1947. In 1957 he moved to Israel, in Aliath Gomulka, in the movement of Jews from Poland to Israel which started in 1956, after the Polish October. He graduated from the Faculty of Industrial engineering and Management at the Technion. From 1969 to 1973 he was a senior systems analyst at Mamram and senior systems analyst at Control Data (Israel). He managed the industrial software team (1973–1983) and initially worked at Israel Aerospace Industries, installing in several countries the industrial software developed. Software called Mass was installed at Escom ( South Africa ) and used for maintenance of power plants.
In 1987, at the end of his doctoral studies at Pennsylvania State University, he served a year as a visiting professor at the Department of Industrial Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. In 1988, he returned to Israel and joined the Industrial Engineering & Management department at Technion. He created and led the Laboratory of Robotics and CIM at the Technion. Dr Hussein Naseraldin was his teaching assistant (currently he is a lecturer at the ORT Braude College of Engineering). While Rubinovitz was a faculty member of The Faculty of Industrial Engineering & Management, he had a joint activity with his teaching assistant in the field of active learning. This activity resulted from the vision of promoting active learning among students of production and management. From 2003 to 2004 he taught industrial engineering at the Tel Aviv University. In 2005 he went on early retirement from the Technion due to illness.
Rubinovitz published books and articles in his field. He was a member of the curriculum committee of Science and Technology Administration in the Ministry of Education in Israel
In March 2012 he was the guest of honor at the national conference of Industrial Engineering and Management in Israel - The 17th National Industrial Engineering And Management Conference.
Rubinovitz married Nurit, and he is father of three (Ofer Sagi and Michal Slonim) and a grandfather of four (Yuval, Harel, Naveh and Ilai Slonim). Previously he lived in Mishmar HaShiv'a.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neobank | A neobank is a type of direct bank that operates exclusively using online banking without traditional physical branch networks that challenge traditional banks.
The range of services provided by neobanks is not as broad as that of their traditional counterparts. Unlike incumbent banks, a large portion of the income of neobanks is mainly made up of transaction fees received when customers pay with their debit card.
Neobanks are fintech companies that offer both standard banking services entirely online and non-traditional ones (peer-to-peer payments, financial advisory robots, cryptocurrency transactions, and crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for certain financial projects or their intangible equivalents that are directly related to the project).
Europe
The term neobank has been in use since at least 2016 to describe fintech-based financial providers that were challenging traditional banks. There were two main types of company that provided services digitally: companies that applied for their own banking license and companies in a relationship with a traditional bank to provide those financial services. The former were called challenger banks and the latter were called neobanks.
The term "challenger bank" is used in the UK to refer to a number of fintech banking startups that emerged in the wake of the 2007–2009 financial crisis. Their services may be accessed by clients through their respective computers or mobile devices.
Notable neobanks in Europe
According to Dealroom.co the most notable neobanks in Europe are the below:

India
In India, a neobank is a class of digital-only or online bank that operates without physical branch locations. They are different from traditional banks in that they don't have physical branches and typically have lower operational costs, which can sometimes result in more competitive fees and interest rates for their customers. Unlike Europe, the regulatory environment in India is complex, with stringent regulations that govern banking and financial services. Neobanks often partner with well-established, traditional banks to provide services and adhere to these regulations.
Neobanks in India typically offer a range of financial services, including savings accounts, current accounts, debit and credit cards, and other banking services. They focus on providing a seamless and user-friendly digital banking experience to a younger audience, with features like instant account setup, easy money transfers, and expense tracking. Some neobanks also target specific customer segments, such as millennials, and offer features like budgeting tools and investment options to that demographic.
Indian neobanks primarily operate in Indian Rupees and may have limited cross-border services. International transactions are often handled in partnerships with traditional banks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter%27s%20History%3A%20Mizoguchi%20Kiki%20Ippatsu%21%21 | Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! is a 1995 fighting game developed by Data East. It is the third game in the Fighter's History series, and the last one published by Data East. The gameplay system is largely unchanged from its predecessor, Karnov's Revenge, but a few new additions made it to the game, including a new game mode where Mizoguchi is the protagonist, and the new character Chelnov, the hero of Data East's action game Atomic Runner Chelnov.
The game was initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom on February 17, 1995. In 2017, Retro-Bit published the game for the international release as part of their compilation Data East Classic Collection.
Gameplay
The gameplay system is largely the same as Karnov's Revenge. Using the 4-button control configuration, striking an opponent's weak point will temporarily stun the opponent, and cause the opponent to sustain greater damage when it's hit afterward. In addition to the story-based Mizoguchi Mode, there are also three new game modes (Practice, Tag Battle, and Survival) in addition to the traditional CPU Battle and 2-Player Versus Modes.
There are nine playable characters in this installment, as five of the characters from the previous Fighter's History games were cut from the roster (Ray, Jean, Matlok, Samchay, and Marstorius). Chelnov, the main character from Data East's arcade game Atomic Runner Chelnov, appears in this game as the final boss, as well as a hidden character playable via a code. Ray, Jean, Matlok, Samchay and Marstorius, while not playable, appear during the story sequences of the Mizoguchi Mode.
Like the Saturn version of Karnov's Revenge, the player can assign all four basic attacks into a single button (R by default). The Practice Mode is a tutorial that teaches players how to perform various combos with each character. By completing all of the exercises given, the player is taught how to perform a new special technique for their character.
Release
Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! was initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom on February 17, 1995. Retro-Bit later published the game for the international release in 2017, as part of its compilation Data East Classic Collection, which also includes the SNES port of the first game. In this version, the game is listed as "Fighter's History 2".
Reception
On release, Famitsu magazine scored Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu a 25 out of 40. Chris Shive from Hardcore Gamer took a detailed look at the game in his Data East Classic Collection review, remarking the graphics have seen a small improvement over [the SNES version of Fighter's History] though the gameplay remains unchanged.

In 2014, Liekens organized Fri3d Camp. Since then, Fri3d Camp has been a 2-yearly family-friendly hacker camp that is seen as the main Belgian hacker camp, next to peers such as Chaos Communication Camp in Germany and Electromagnetic Field (festival) in the UK.
Corona Denktank
In March 2020, days before the COVID-19 lockdown in Belgium, Liekens founded Corona Denktank, a civil movement that designed and built alternative solutions to lessen the suffering and to reduce the spread of the virus. Under his leadership, the movement grew to tens of thousands of contributors. After two weeks, Liekens restructured the citizen movement to become a flat organization with a do-ocracy governance model.
Over its two months of operation, Corona Denktank initiated over 40 projects, most of which spun off into their own independent projects, the most notable include:
Corona Denktank instigated the distributed production of an estimated 1.8 million homemade facemasks and 50 thousand protective face caps. The United Nations granted a Sustainable Development Goals Solidarity Action Award for the design of transparent facemasks for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.
In March 2020, Corona Denktank launched Praatbox, a barrier-free videoconferencing tool without accounts which quickly grew to 40 thousand users per day, mainly introducing school children and elderly people to videoconferencing. The Flemish Youth Council recommended Praatbox as the safest standard for videoconferencing for use in juvenile court and social youth services.
In collaboration with Digital For Youth, Corona Denktank collected and distributed 15 thousand laptops to school children.
Corona Denktank initiated the design of DIY respirators and multi-patient ventilators.
Corona Denktank translated and published official health guidelines into Belgium's 3 official languages and 20 other languages.
With HoopDoetLeven, Corona Denktank collaborated with king Philippe of Belgium to honor heroes of the pandemic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Adventures%20of%20Sherlock%20Holmes%20%28radio%20series%29 | The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is an American old-time radio show that aired on US radio networks between 1930 and 1936. The series was adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories by scriptwriter Edith Meiser. For most of the series, Richard Gordon played Sherlock Holmes and Leigh Lovell played Dr. Watson.
The series included multiple original stories by Meiser, in addition to Meiser's adaptations of all of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories except one. Some episodes in the series were remakes of scripts that had been used for episodes in earlier seasons of the show.
Production
Edith Meiser first pitched the idea of a radio series based on Conan Doyle's detective. Episodes for the series were adapted for broadcast by Meiser. The show was titled Sherlock Holmes, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and Sherlock Holmes Stories in different radio listings.
The premiere episode featured an adaptation of "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" (October 20, 1930). It starred William Gillette as Sherlock Holmes and Leigh Lovell as Dr Watson. The following episodes in the series mainly featured Richard Gordon in the role of Holmes until 1933 and Louis Hector from 1934 to 1935. Richard Gordon again played the lead role for the last season in 1936.
Edith Meiser dramatised fifty-nine of the sixty Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, with the same actors, Richard Gordon and Leigh Lovell, playing Holmes and Watson respectively in the adaptations, including a remake of "The Adventure of the Speckled Band". The 59th Sherlock Holmes story adapted by Meiser was "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle", which aired in late 1932.
The story that was not dramatised, The Valley of Fear, would not be adapted for radio until 1960, when the BBC adapted it for radio for the 1952–1969 radio series. An adaptation of The Valley of Fear was not produced because the story concerns labour relations in the Pennsylvania coalfields and was therefore thought to be potentially too political. Another Sherlock Holmes story, "The Final Problem", was loosely adapted for episodes titled "Murder in the Waxworks" (March 1932), "The Adventure of the Ace of Spades" (May 1932), and "Murder by Proxy" (January 1933). It was not directly adapted because Meiser was concerned that broadcasting it might presage the end of the series.
For the series, Meiser also wrote episodes inspired by cases alluded to in the Sherlock Holmes canon, namely "The Giant Rat of Sumatra" (June 1932 and July 1936), "The Case of Vamberry, the Wine Merchant" (December 1934), and "The Singular Affair of the Aluminium Crutch" (January 1935). Meiser also adapted two of Arthur Conan Doyle's non-Holmes stories, "The Jewish Breastplate" and "The Lost Special". Both episodes aired in November 1934.
The first four seasons aired on the NBC's Blue Network. The fifth season aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System through September 1936. The show then moved to the NBC Red network in October 1936. On the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newest%20vertex%20bisection | Newest Vertex Bisection is an algorithmic method to locally refine triangulations. It is widely used in computational science, numerical simulation, and computer graphics. The advantage of newest vertex bisection is that it allows local refinement of triangulations without degenerating the shape of the triangles after repeated usage.
In newest vertex bisection, whenever a triangle is to be split into smaller triangles, it will be bisected by drawing a line from the newest vertex to the midpoint of the edge opposite to that vertex. That midpoint becomes the newest vertex of the two newer triangles. One can show that repeating this procedure for a given triangulation leads to triangles that belong to only a finite number of similarity classes.
Generalizations of newest vertex bisection to dimension three and higher are known. Newest vertex bisection is used in local mesh refinement for adaptive finite element methods, where it is an alternative to red-green refinement and uniform mesh refinement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial%20intelligence%20in%20government | Artificial intelligence (AI) has a range of uses in government. It can be used to further public policy objectives (in areas such as emergency services, health and welfare), as well as assist the public to interact with the government (through the use of virtual assistants, for example). According to the Harvard Business Review, "Applications of artificial intelligence to the public sector are broad and growing, with early experiments taking place around the world." Hila Mehr from the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University notes that AI in government is not new, with postal services using machine methods in the late 1990s to recognise handwriting on envelopes to automatically route letters. The use of AI in government comes with significant benefits, including efficiencies resulting in cost savings (for instance by reducing the number of front office staff), and reducing the opportunities for corruption. However, it also carries risks.
Uses of AI in government
The potential uses of AI in government are wide and varied, with Deloitte considering that "Cognitive technologies could eventually revolutionize every facet of government operations". Mehr suggests that six types of government problems are appropriate for AI applications:
Resource allocation - such as where administrative support is required to complete tasks more quickly.
Large datasets - where these are too large for employees to work efficiently and multiple datasets could be combined to provide greater insights.
Experts shortage - including where basic questions could be answered and niche issues can be learned.
Predictable scenario - historical data makes the situation predictable.
Procedural - repetitive tasks where inputs or outputs have a binary answer.
Diverse data - where data takes a variety of forms (such as visual and linguistic) and needs to be summarised regularly.
Mehr states that "While applications of AI in government work have not kept pace with the rapid expansion of AI in the private sector, the potential use cases in the public sector mirror common applications in the private sector."
Potential and actual uses of AI in government can be divided into three broad categories: those that contribute to public policy objectives; those that assist public interactions with the government; and other uses.
Contributing to public policy objectives
There are a range of examples of where AI can contribute to public policy objectives. These include:
Receiving benefits at job loss, retirement, bereavement and child birth almost immediately, in an automated way (thus without requiring any actions from citizens at all)
Social insurance service provision
Classifying emergency calls based on their urgency (like the system used by the Cincinnati Fire Department in the United States)
Detecting and preventing the spread of diseases
Assisting public servants in making welfare payments and immigration decisions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmuda | , stylized BALMUDA, is a Japanese design and manufacturing company that produces small appliances and computer accessories. Its products have won international recognition for their designs, including Red Dot and iF Product Design awards. The story behind one of the company's early products was adapted for television in the NHK drama Hanbun, Aoi.
History
Balmuda was founded in Tokyo in 2003 by Gen Terao, a high-school dropout who pursued a music career for several years before starting Balmuda as a product design company. The company's first product was the Floater, an aluminum laptop stand that Macworld praised for its design while noting that buyers would be "definitely paying—a lot—for the unique design and the production process".
After nearly going bankrupt during the late-2000s recession, in 2010 the company launched the GreenFan, a home air circulation fan that Terao had designed to eliminate the strong air currents resulting from traditional bladed fan designs. Terao claims that the idea for the fan, which combines two different blade systems operating at different speeds, came from watching children linking arms and trying to run in a circle, and noting what happened when faster and slower children were linked together. The story of Balmuda's development of the GreenFan product was later adapted by NHK for a series of episodes in the 98th asadora Hanbun, Aoi.
Balmuda has since introduced several more small appliances, including a toaster, a microwave oven, an electric kettle, and a rice cooker, with Balmuda providing product design and distribution but all manufacturing outsourced to other companies. The toaster oven, called "The Toaster" and introduced in 2015, was not initially advertised to consumers, but sold so quickly that customers had to wait three months to get their product. The company has also developed a signature food product, BALMUDA The Curry, intended to be prepared with Balmuda appliances.
The company announced its expansion into Europe in 2013. In 2017 Balmuda opened its first retail store, located in Tokyo's Ginza neighborhood. As of 2018 it had over 100 employees. Balmuda went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in December 2020, with an initial surge in stock price in anticipation of its entry into the smartphone market, but the company halted sales of its phone product at the start of 2022 due to poor reviews and general consumer disappointment, leading to a sharp drop in share price.
Product design
Balmuda has drawn comparisons to Apple Inc. for its approach to "turning humidifiers, toasters, and space heaters into objects of desire". The original GreenFan received a Red Dot Award and iF Product Design Award. Several subsequent products have also received iF Design Awards, including two Gold Awards. Balmuda's product design has been imitated by other manufacturers, and the company has taken legal action to challenge products of apparently similar design, such as air purifiers produced by Chinese manufacture |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilybuds | Lilybuds is a computer-animated children's television series produced by Zodiak Family. The series has been made for Discovery Kids in Latin America. The CGI animated series is produced by ZKS France for Discovery Kids Latin America, with the participation of public broadcaster France Télévisions. Both broadcasters launched the series in mid-2018.
Premise
Lilybuds live in a garden as the tiny magical gardeners. They can grow lovely plants, flowers, any kind, and they are aware of animal creatures nearby.
Characters
Lilybuds
Zinnia (voiced by Jules de Jongh) is the messenger of the Lilybuds. She warns them when humans come by.
Rose (voiced by Joanna Ruiz) is the most positive lilybud and the leader of the group. She is mostly the one who grows the flowers and plants.
Cap (voiced by Hugo Harold Harrison) is the nervous lilybud of the Lilybuds. He gets scared when he sees something that is scary to him, but there is out to be something else. He is similar to a mushroom.
Daffodil (voiced by Nicola Stanton) is the most helpful lilybud who loves to knit.
Thistle (voiced by Sara Markland) is the clumsiest lilybud of the Lilybuds. She plans things and unexpectedly gets ruined.
Moss (voiced by Oliver Mason) is the most excitable lilybud who is at least worried about things getting lost.
Lilac (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is the most fashionable lilybud who is often very silly, sarcastic and dramatic and wants to get things on her way.
Thorn (voiced by Jamie Quinn) is the cook of the Lilybuds. He helps out with Bucky to make food. He is always on the lookout for Ellery, preventing him from stealing their food.
Animals
Bucky (voiced by Jamie Quinn) is the helpful beaver. He helps Thorn make and organise the food they make.
Spearmint (voiced by Chris Neill) is a Jerboa who's best friends with Zinnia. They do park patrols together.
Ellery (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is the naughty and sarcastic chipmunk who loves to steal. He always plans to steal Thorn and Bucky's food, but his plans are getting backfired by Thorn.
Plum (voiced by David Holt) is a baby possum who worries and gets scared a lot like Cap.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdokimov%27s%20algorithm | In computational number theory, Evdokimov's algorithm, named after Sergei Evdokimov, is the asymptotically fastest known algorithm for factorization of polynomials (until 2019). It can factorize a one-variable polynomial of degree over an explicitly given finite field of cardinality . Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis the algorithm runs in deterministic time (see Big O notation). This is an improvement of both Berlekamp's algorithm and Rónyai's algorithm in the sense that the first algorithm is polynomial for small characteristic of the field, whearas the second one is polynomial for small ; however, both of them are exponential if no restriction is made.
The factorization of a polynomial over a ground field is reduced to the case when has no multiple roots and is completely splitting
over (i.e. has distinct roots in ). In order to find a root of in this case, the algorithm deals with
polynomials not only over the ground field but also over a completely splitting semisimple algebra over (an example of such an algebra is given by , where ). The main problem here is to find efficiently a nonzero zero-divisor in the algebra. The GRH is used only to take roots in finite fields in polynomial time. Thus the Evdokimov algorithm, in fact, solves a polynomial equation over a finite field "by radicals" in quasipolynomial time, see Time complexity.
The analyses of Evdokimov's algorithm is closely related with some problems in the association scheme theory. With the help of this approach, it was proved
that if is a prime and has a ‘large’ -smooth divisor , then a modification of the Evdokimov algorithm finds a nontrivial factor of the polynomial in deterministic time, assuming GRH and that .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Cycle%20Route%20141 | National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 141 is a Sustrans Regional Route. It is long. It provides a connection between Route 14 and Route 72 along the south bank of the River Tyne through Gateshead. The full length of the route is part of the Keelmans Way. It is fully signed and open after the section between Wylam and Ryton Golf Course recently reopened after repairs following a landslip.
Route
NCN 141 starts at National Cycle Route 72, in Wylam on the north bank of the River Tyne. It crosses the river on Wylam Bridge before heading east via an off road route along the south bank of the Tyne. It passes Tyneside Golf Club, Ryton Willows and Blaydon before reaching its eastern trailhead at Derwenthaugh (in Swalwell) where it meets National Cycle Route 14.
The eastern end of the route was opened in 2012 so cyclists could avoid having to cross the busy Newburn Bridge to reach route 72. There are public artworks as the route passes the site of the Blaydon racecourse.
2021 Closure
The route was closed between Wylam and Ryton due to a landslip that occurred in February 2021. A diversion route was in place during this time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSTO%20System%20Model | The OSTO System Model is based on the OSTO System Theory, which comprehends complex systems and organizations as living systems and maps these by means of the OSTO System Model. The model is cybernetic in nature and is deduced from the theory of closed loops. The basics of this theory have been formulated by David P. Hanna in the 1980s and have been published initially in 1988. The model assumes that several central transformation processes take place on the inside of a complex organization. These are deeply influenced by mutual reactions between the inner life of the organization and the outside (environment). In terms of closed loop theory, the OSTO System Model depicts the essential elements of such a living system in its interconnectedness, dependencies, and reciprocal reactions. Thinking in network structures is, thus, a crucial part of the OSTO System Theory.
The acronym “OSTO” stands for open, sociotechnical, economic (German: “oekonomisch”) aspects of a system. With regard to organizations and economically working companies, the model takes into consideration the openness of systems towards their environments as well as the fact that they are multidimensional, socio-techno-economic structures. Taking into consideration these four aspects, the model displays the complexity of such a system in its numerous dimensions.
Fields of application
The OSTO System Model is a concrete model of the OSTO thought framework. In practice this model is used as a managerial and reflection tool.
Looking through the so-called “OSTO glasses” is to facilitate managing the steadily increasing dynamism and complexity of systems such as to find new action strategies by creating distance.
Consequently, for organizational development the method is applied in the field of change management. Companies use the methods in the area of
diagnosis, design and redesign of organizations as well as in project management.
OSTO has developed concepts for education and human resource development in line with the systemic qualification of managers (“SYMA®”).
The approach is mainly taught at the University of Klagenfurt and at RWTH Aachen University.
It is mainly concentrated in the institute of cybernetics as well as at the chair of information management in mechanical engineering and at the center
for learning and knowledge management. Each year, more than 1000 students acquire knowledge of the OSTO System Theory during a mandatory course
in their studies of mechanical engineering.
O for open system
In the OSTO System approach, organizations are analyzed as open systems. In this context, the attribute “open” refers as well to the spatial and subject
level as to the temporal aspect. On the spatial and subject level, not only intended but also unintended exchange with the environment is analyzed.
Systems are hardly ever closed. In consequence of that, bidirectional reciprocal exchange between a system and its environment has to be monitored very
closely. Internal re |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret%20Gurney | Margaret Gurney (October 28, 1908 – March 19, 2002) was an American mathematician, statistician, and computer programmer. Originally trained in the mathematical study of partial differential equations at Swarthmore College, Brown University, and the University of Göttingen, she came to work for the United States Census Bureau. There, she became known for her expertise in sampling, stratified sampling, and survey methodology. At the Census Bureau she also worked as an early programmer of the UNIVAC I computer. Later, she became an international consultant, teaching statistical methods in developing countries. She won the Department of Commerce Silver Medal and was recognized as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
Early life and education
Gurney's parents, Anna Elizabeth Pickett and Dayton Alvin Gurney, both studied at Michigan State University, then called the State Agricultural College. Her father became a civilian engineer for the military (later the chief engineer of the Ordnance Department), and she and her two siblings were born in Washington, DC. She attended Central High School there, and then went to Swarthmore College with the support of a White scholarship. At Swarthmore, she completed a bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, and astronomy in 1930, with highest honors.
She began graduate study at Brown University in 1930 and earned a master's degree there in 1931. From 1932 to 1933 she traveled on a fellowship to the University of Göttingen in Germany; she returned to Brown, and completed her Ph.D. there in 1934. Her dissertation, on the mathematical analysis of hyperbolic partial differential equations, was Some General Existence Theorems for Partial Differential Equations of Hyperbolic Type; her doctoral advisor was Jacob Tamarkin.
Career
Gurney began her work with the US Government in 1938, working for the Budget Bureau first as a statistical consultant and then beginning in 1940 as an economist. She moved to the United States Census Bureau in 1944, and retired from the census in 1973.
At the Census Bureau, Gurney helped plan sampling-based surveys, and implemented her statistical methods on the UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer in the United States.
Beginning in 1961, and continuing past her retirement, Gurney also worked as an international statistical consultant, teaching statistical methodology and agricultural statistics in developing parts of the world in association with the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. She began this work in Puerto Rico and later continued this work in Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
She lived with her sister Ruth Park in Quilcene, Washington after her retirement and died there on March 19, 2002.
Recognition
Gurney was awarded the Department of Commerce Silver Medal in 1966, "for her continuous contributions to the theory and application of sample survey methods over a long period". In 1968, Gurney was elected as a Fel |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum-digital | museum-digital is a project of museums to collaboratively publish their data online. Increasingly, it has also been targeting inventorization. Having published information on over 281,000 objects in Germany and 95,000 objects in Hungary, the project's work is currently focused on these countries.
Concept
museum-digital offers museums the option to publish their information, especially object information, online. The platform displays both textual and visual information on the objects. Once a respective object has been set public, its information is available for public reuse according to the given license.
To enrich search results, museum-digital makes use of controlled vocabularies, which are shared between the different instances. The larger international versions have own, language-specific controlled vocabularies.
Museums from different regions of Germany have bound together in regional instances of museum-digital, organized through their respective museum associations. These regional instances are aggregated into a national instance, where information can be searched across regions.
Furthermore, museum-digital can serve museums as an aggregator for data to be exported to the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek and the Europeana.
History
The project was founded in 2009, based on an initiative of the "AG Digitalisierung" (Working Group Digitization) of the Museum Association of Saxony-Anhalt. In October of the same year 187 museums from within Germany were participating and 15,400 objects were available online.
Until 2016, a number of additional regional, international (Hungary, Brazil, Indonesia), and topical ("agrargeschichte" [History of Agriculture]) instances were created
Currently, 572 museums in Germany are participating in the project, with over 281.000 objects
In Saxony-Anhalt and Rhineland-Palantine, the project has enjoyed funding by the respective states.
Development
The different tools museum-digital provides are created using PHP, JavaScript and MySQL databases. To meet the requirements of internationally used software, all tools are multilingual or at least available in German and English.
Conceptually innovative developments, such as the quality control tool PuQi or the overview pages for establishing relationships between people based on museum objects, are presented to the scientific community using presentations and articles
Main Software Projects
Frontend of museum-digital
The frontend is the primary public interface to the different instances of museum-digital. This is where museum and museum object information are published. While it was originally limited to the presentation of data on objects, museums, and collections, it has been extended to cover object groups and exhibitions and events taking place at a given museum.
musdb
musdb is the input interface of museum-digital. Originally developed only as a graphical interface for entering publication data, it has since turned into a collection management system. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenderFail | GenderFail is a publishing and programming initiative created by Be Oakley that seeks to encourage projects from an intersectional, queer perspective. Many projects are tied together by the slogan "Radical Softness as a Boundless Form of Resistance". The press is currently based out of Brooklyn, New York. In an April 16, 2020 article "Our Favorite New Yorkers on the Best Things in All Five Boroughs" in Conde Nast Traveler, curator Legacy Russell mentioned GenderFail as one of their favorite things in New York.
Exhibitions and events
GenderFail has been a part of exhibitions, programs and events at A.I.R. Gallery (Feminist & Queer Art Book Fair, 2020), MoMA PS1 (Past and Future Fictions, 2018), The International Center of Photography (Queering the Collection, 2018), The Williams College Museum of Art (Queer Zines: A Conversation and Workshop 2019) Sediment Arts (GenderFail Archive Project, 2018), EFA Project Space (Endless Editions Biennial, 2018) and The Contemporary Artists' Books Conference at Book Culture (2018). GenderFail was featured in the January 2020 Issue of Vogue Italia with an article titled "Failure E Un Po' Rinascere" by journalist Laura Taccari.
Publishing projects
GenderFail's publications "uses appropriation as a strategy to 'pervert' the canon, contaminate it, but also to give visibility to under-represented and othered forms of being." Lyne Lucian of The Daily Beast noted GenderFail as "an innovative platform representing queer and trans people, and people of color who want to voice their opinions through art".
In October 2018, GenderFail released An Anthology of Failure, which includes essays by Manuel Arturo Abreu, American Artist, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Demian Dinéyazhi', Johanna Hedva, Nicole Killian, Andrea Liu, Be Oakley, Nate Pyper, Sable Elyse Smith, Alok Vaid-Menon and Agustine Zegers. Printed Matter has dedicated a shelf in their bookshop to displaying GenderFail titles. Some of GenderFail's projects take on a digital form, such as Remember Their Name, a page memorializing every trans person who was murdered since 2016.
In 2019 GenderFail published Consciousness by artist Lex Brown. Their book GenderFail Reader 1 was named one of OutTV's 19 best reads of 2019.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5%20Plus | 5 Plus (stylized as 5PLUS) was a Philippine free-to-air television network owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and jointly operated by TV5 Network, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. media arm of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund.
Named after its parent station, 5 Plus served as complementary channel for 5 with its programs primarily produced by its sports division, ESPN5. 5 Plus was launched on January 13, 2019, as AksyonTV, a Filipino-language news and public affairs channel launched by TV5 in 2011, bifurcated into two new separate channels (the other one being One PH on Cignal).
However 14 months after its launch, on March 7, 2020, 5 Plus ceased its broadcasting to give way for One Sports.
History
Prior to January 13, 2019, the network was known as AksyonTV, a 24-hour news channel launched by TV5 Network (then known as ABC Development Corporation) in February 2011 after taking over the airtime of NBC television and radio stations In 2010 (TV5 Network was acquired by NBC's parent MediaQuest Holdings from the Cojuangco / Media Prima group earlier that March). Its original programming included simulcasts from Radyo5 and independently produced newscasts and information programs from News5.
However, in June 2013, AksyonTV began to carry over the sports programs from AKTV, a primetime and weekend block of Sports5 airing over government-sequestered Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC), after TV5 decided not to renew its agreement with IBC due to high airtime costs and low ratings. This move was heavily criticized by viewers for putting news programs and coverage on-hold. Such move, as well as losses and cost-cutting measures by TV5 Network, forces all news and current affairs programs produced by AksyonTV to be cancelled, leaving Radyo5 simulcasts intact (which in turn, is hampered by the addition of home shopping programs). Cignal, a sister company of TV5, soon launched its 24-hour satellite news channel, One News which combines the news content of the media companies owned by MediaQuest, including News5 on May 28, 2018, replacing News5-owned Bloomberg TV Philippines.
AksyonTV continued to reformat its programs in 2017, as the network started airing reruns of American series that air or aired on TV5, including Arrow and Supernatural, as well as the movie block Movie Max 5, home shopping and classic programs of TV5 in lieu of live sports programming.
Following TV5's relaunch as 5 in February 2018, shifting its position from a general entertainment network to a network focusing heavily on news and sports, on November 30, T5N announced that AksyonTV will be relaunched as 5 Plus on January 13, 2019. The new channel carried "atypical sports" programming with additional coverage from ESPN5 and new sports-related contents which would target a younger, more adventurous audience or the millennials.
Selected Radyo5 simulcast programs and other news content were later moved to a new stand-alone satellite Filipino |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Tempestry%20Project | The Tempestry Project is a collaborative fiber arts project that presents global warming data in visual form through knitted or crocheted artwork. The project is part of a larger "data art" movement and the developing field of climate change art, which seeks to exploit the human tendency to value personal experience over data by creating accessible experiential representations of the data.
Tempestries are made by knitting or crocheting rows in specified colors that represent respective high temperatures each day for a year. Multiple works are typically displayed together to show change over time. The project began in 2017 in Anacortes, Washington, US, and has since spread throughout the country and around the world.
The word "tempestry" is a portmanteau of "temperature" and "tapestry."
History
The first tempestry was created using 2016 data from the Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island, Washington. Emily McNeil, Marissa Connelly, and Justin Connelly, having read about climatologists trying to preserve climate research data in preparation for anticipated removal of such data from US government websites by the Trump administration, were "joking" that "we should return to more concrete forms of data storage."
In January 2017 McNeil, Marissa Connelly and Justin Connelly founded the project in Anacortes, Washington to encourage other fiber artists to produce "striking visuals that communicate changes at an intimate, local scale." According to Justin Connelly, "The science articles talk about what's happening at the poles. For many people, that's not their experience and so they don't relate to it in a powerful way...but even here [outside Seattle], in a temperate place, you can see stark change over the last 40 years or so. It puts it in their backyard." The project name is a portmanteau of the words "temperature" and "tapestry."
The organization offers kits including yarn, instructions, and a data sheet of daily temperatures in a given location. In 2017 they sold 40 kits and in 2018, 500. The 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown temporarily affected production for the US, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) restricted access to the databases used to provide historical weather data for the United States.
The concept was inspired by a similar fiberwork concept called a "temperature blanket", an afghan- or bedspread-sized project commemorating a particular year by working stripes or bands of colors representing each day's high or low temperature for a year.
As of December 2018 projects had been created by fiber artists in nearly every U.S. state and in 20 other countries.
Production
Each tempestry is knitted or crocheted, one row each day, in the specified color for each date's high temperature starting on January 1 and ending on December 31 for a given year in a single location to form a banner the size of a scarf that graphically represents a year of daily high temperatures in a single location.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faculty%20%28company%29 | Faculty is a British technology company based in London, UK. It provides software, consulting, and services related to artificial intelligence. The company was founded in 2014, as a fellowship programme for PhD graduates. Some of its governmental and political work has attracted conflict of interest concerns.
History
Faculty was founded by Marc Warner, Angie Ma and Andy Brookes in 2014, under the name Advanced Skills Initiative as a fellowship programme for PhD graduates. By 2021, 300 graduates and 200 companies had used the fellowship programme.
In May 2017, The Observer published an investigative article by Carole Cadwalladr which revealed links between Faculty and Cambridge Analytica, notorious for their involvement in the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The investigation revealed that staff had moved between the two companies and that they jointly hosted events. Faculty were paid £114,000 by Vote Leave for services during the 2016 Brexit referendum. The Guardian revealed in 2020 that Faculty had received £260,000 from Dominic Cummings's private company, Dynamic Maps in 2018 and 2019.
In February 2018, the Home Office and ASI developed a terrorist content blocking tool that claimed to identify 94% of Daesh propaganda, aiding in preventing it from being uploaded to the Internet. It was reported by Wired magazine that Daesh could easily dodge the tool. In 2019, it was then reported by the Financial Times that the tool had not been adopted by any companies, even after it had been offered free of charge.
The company was renamed to its current namesake, "Faculty" in February 2019. According to Faculty, it stopped doing political work that same year.
Faculty was awarded at least £3 million in government contracts between early 2018 and July 2020. In 2020, Faculty won a £400,000 contract to assist the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government in the United Kingdom in its response to COVID-19. Faculty also worked with the NHS during the pandemic to predict hospital admissions and to help the NHS decide where to send equipment, such as ventilators.
In May 2021, Faculty raised £30 million in funding from the Apax Digital Fund, bringing their total funding raised to £40 million. The funding was expected to create 400 new jobs. In June 2021, Janine Lloyd-Jones joined Faculty from the Foreign Office as the company's first marketing and communications director, having worked in government communications for 15 years.
Services
Faculty develops artificial intelligence software for technology, healthcare, engineering, and governmental organisations. Example projects include working to reduce the number of flyers mailed that are unlikely to result in purchases and reducing the number of sandwiches stored on planes to go to waste. About 80 percent of its business comes from the private sector with the remainder from government work. Faculty clients typically own the models that are developed for them, though Faculty retains the right |
