https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Geographic%20Global%20Networks | National Geographic Global Networks (formerly National Geographic Channels Worldwide and National Geographic Channels International) is a business unit within National Geographic Partners (a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company and the National Geographic Society) and Disney Entertainment (who handles distribution and advertising sales for National Geographic Global Networks) that oversees the National Geographic-branded television channels: National Geographic, Nat Geo Kids, Nat Geo Music, Nat Geo People and Nat Geo Wild and National Geographic Studios (formerly known as National Geographic Television). The unit itself was a joint operation between 21st Century Fox (21CF) and the Society, but it was later integrated into the new joint venture National Geographic Partners which they formed in 2015. On March 20, 2019, 21CF's share in National Geographic Partners was assumed by Disney, following its acquisition of most 21CF businesses.
History
National Geographic had moved towards launching a US cable channel in 1982, but backed out. National Geographic Television, National Geographic Society's for profit TV arm, and NBC formed a joint venture, National Geographic Channels (NGC). NGC then partnered with BSkyB to launch on September 1, 1997 National Geographic Channel services in U.K. and Ireland via BSkyB, Scandinavia via Telenor and Australia via Foxtel. Foxtel and BSkyB were then owned in some form by Rupert Murdoch. Sandy McGovern was president of NGC at the time. The 50/50 partnership was formed to expand NatGeo's National Geographic Television's productions, head by Tim Kelly, that was producing National Geographic Explorer for CBS. The original American version of the channel was launched on January 7, 2001 with Laureen Ong as president and Andrew Wilk as head of programming. National Geographic Society took down its museum and built a TV studio. At the time, the NatGeo kept its TV production unit and got a "sweet heart" guarantee production contract of 44 hours per year at an estimated $500,000 per hour of TV. Additional National Geographic channels in other parts of the world were also launched under the original joint venture.
In 2007, Ong was replaced by David Lyle, from the just closed Fox Reality channel, as CEO and president Howard Owens. In 2010, the company launched Nat Geo Wild channel in the US to go up against competitor Discovery Channel. Ratings dropped as a whole and Lyle and Owens left in 2014. Courteney Monroe moved up from her head marketing post to take over NGC US.
National Geographic Partners unit
On September 9, 2015, the Society announced that it would reorganize its media properties and publications into a new company known as National Geographic Partners, which would be 73% owned by 21st Century Fox. This new, for-profit, corporation would own National Geographic and other magazines, as well as its affiliated television channels—most of which were already owned in joint ventures with Fox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompTox%20Chemicals%20Dashboard | The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard is a freely accessible online database created and maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The database provides access to multiple types of data including physicochemical properties, environmental fate and transport, exposure, usage, in vivo toxicity, and in vitro bioassay. EPA and other scientists use the data and models contained within the dashboard to help identify chemicals that require further testing and reduce the use of animals in chemical testing. The Dashboard is also used to provide public access to information from EPA Action Plans, e.g. around perfluorinated alkylated substances.
Originally titled the Chemistry Dashboard, the first version was released in 2016. The latest release of the database (version 3.0.5) contains manually curated data for over 875,000 chemicals and incorporates the latest data generated from the EPA's Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) high-throughput screening program. The Chemicals Dashboard incorporates data from several previous EPA databases into one package including the ToxCast Dashboard, the Endocrine Disruption Screening Program (EDSP) Dashboard and the Chemical and Products Database (CPDat).
Scope and Access
The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard database contains high quality chemical structures and information that have been extensively curated and quality checked, which can be used as a resource for analytical scientists involved in structure identification.
Chemical hazard data in the dashboard comes from both traditional laboratory animal studies and high-throughput screening. Biological data from high-throughput screening is generated by EPA's ToxCast program, the ToxCast data in the database provides information about the assays used and their response potency and efficacy. These data can be found in the bioactivity tab.
The Chemicals Dashboard can be accessed via a web interface or sets of data within it can be downloaded for use offline. The Lists tab can be used to browse and download groups of related chemicals based on their relevance to a specific research topic (such as additives in cigarettes or chemicals demonstrating effects on neurodevelopmental effects) or the specific assay endpoints they are covered by.
Within the online dashboard searches can be performed by product/use categories, assay/gene, systematic name, synonym, CAS number, DSSTox Substance ID or InChiKey. Under the Advanced Search tab chemicals can be searched based on their mass or molecular formula. Searches can also be performed for groups of chemicals based on Chemical Name CASRN, InChIKey, DSSTox Substance ID, DSSTox Compound ID, InChIKey Skeleton, MS-Ready Formula, Exact Formula, or Monoisotopic Mass using the batch search function.
Other Functions
An automated read-across tool called Generalized Read-Across (GenRA) is integrated into The Chemicals Dashboard. GenRA is designed to keep the expert consideration inherent in the read-across method, but automate the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora%20%281789%20ship%29 | Aurora was launched at Whitby in 1789. Between 1799 and 1806 she made four voyages as a whaler to the British southern whale fishery. She was last listed in 1809 with stale data since her whaling voyages.
Career
There is some ambiguity around Auroras launch year. Neither the Register of Shipping (RS), nor Lloyd's Register (LR) provided one. The most complete account of Whitby vessels gave her launch year as 1789, with owner F. Easterby.
Aurora first appeared in the RS in 1800 with J.Bevan, master, Mellish & Co. owner, and trade London–South Seas. It gave her origin simply as "British", and stated that she had undergone a thorough repair. By the 1802 volume the RS showed Auroras master as Massey, her origin as Whitby, and her having undergone the thorough repair in 1799.
Aurora first appeared in LR in 1801 with S. Macey, master, Millen & Co., owner, and trade London–Southern Fishery.
Peter Mellish owned Aurora for all four of her whaling voyages.
1st whaling voyage (1799–1801): Captain Stephen Macey (or Macy, or Massey) sailed from London on 3 May 1799, bound for Walvis Bay. Aurora returned to London on 15 April 1801.2nd whaling voyage (1801–1802): Captain James Birnie acquired a letter of marque on 2 June 1801. Aurora left England on 23 June, and returned on 4 July 1804.3rd whaling voyage (1803–1804): Captain Thomas Gray (or Gay, or Thomas Goyes), sailed from England on 21 February 1803. He sailed during the Peace of Amiens and so did not acquire a letter of marque. Aurora returned on 6 April 1804.4th whaling voyage (1804–1806):''' Captain Peter Long acquired a letter of marque on 4 July 1804. On 4 September 1804, Captain Peleg Long sailed from England. reported that Aurora had been at Saint Helena on 26 March 1806, having arrived from Brazil with 200 barrels of sperm oil and 300 barrels of whale oil. At St Helena Aurora also took on part of the cargo of oil from , which intended to continue to seek out whales. Aurora returned to England on 10 June 1806.

His aim is to highlight and correct this historical oversight. In The Daily Telegraph, historian Peter Frankopan described the book as "provocative". In Prospect, David Goodhart called the book "immensely stimulating, absorbing, illuminating ... sends ideas blazing all over the place".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon%20Truaxe | Brandon Truaxe (born Ali Roshan; 19 June 1978 in Tehran – 20 January 2019 in Toronto), was an Iranian-Canadian. He was a computer scientist and cosmetics entrepreneur known as the founder of DECIEM, the Toronto-based beauty company. He made headlines first for launching 10 cosmetic brands at once and then for being the brain behind the brand The Ordinary with clinical formulations at modest price points - manufacturing everything in-house.
Early life
Truaxe was born Ali Roshan in Tehran on 19 June 1978 during a lull in the unrest that would explode in revolution a few weeks later. His family left Iran and came to Toronto in 1995 as permanent residents. His mother died of breast cancer when he was young and his estranged father returned to Iran. He studied computer science at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 2001. His formative professional experience happened around this time, when he had an internship on analysis software for ″one of the big cosmetic manufacturers — a big brand that owns many things″ in New York, and was shocked at the mark-ups it charged.
Shortly after graduation Truaxe founded software development firm, Schematte Corporation, and nutritional supplements company, Organic Senses Ltd. Both companies were dissolved in 2008 and 2007 for failure to file annual returns.
In 2003, Truaxe founded his first skin care brand Euoko with partner Julio Torres, supported by Pasquale Cusano, a Vancouver jeweler, who served as his mentor and investor. Truaxe resigned from the company in 2011.
In 2009 he founded Indeed Labs, which includes the Nanoblur collection. Truaxe later left Indeed Labs to found DECIEM in 2012, his fourth business.
DECIEM
In 2012, Truaxe co-founded DECIEM The Abnormal Beauty Company. DECIEM functioned as an umbrella company for more than 10 other brands. In April 2013, DECIEM debuted its first brand, Inhibitif, followed by The Chemistry Brand, Fountain and Grow Gorgeous. During the period of his non-compete clauses, he created the anti-aging hand cream for The Chemistry Brand. It was an instant bestseller when it launched, partly because people were using it on their faces - Truaxe had "thrown down the gauntlet".
DECIEM's multi-brand strategy was driven by a vertically integrated structure: It had its own laboratory, in-house manufacturing, in-house e-commerce, in-store stores, and proprietary marketing infrastructure.
In August 2016, Truaxe co-launched DECIEM's The Ordinary product line with twenty-seven products, combining cutting-edge science with modest price points. He was realising his mission to "democratise serious skincare". The Ordinary was the 11th the beauty brand of DECIEM. It first sold exclusively online, then in various department stores, and about 30 company-owned stores it opened in Canada, the US, the UK, Mexico, South Korea and the Netherlands.
In June 2017 Truaxe's success attracted the attention of leading beauty conglomerate Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), which acquired an equity ow |

Synopsis
A romantic comedy that depicts the daily lives of 30-year-old best friends Lim Jin-joo (Chun Woo-hee), Lee Eun-jung (Jeon Yeo-been) and Hwang Han-joo (Han Ji-eun), using a show within a show as the backdrop.
Jin-joo is a writer who gets her first chance to write a 16-episode television series and, in the process, falls for her director, Son Beom Soo (Ahn Jae-hong), and he for her, although not without a number of prickly moments. As Jin-joo writes the show and Beom-soo develops it, their personal and professional lives intertwine in unexpected ways.
Eun-jung is a documentary film maker who has not properly got over the early death of her fiance from cancer. But she is successful professionally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruabon%20railway%20branch%20lines | The Ruabon railway branch lines were a network of railways built to serve the mineral bearing area west of Ruabon, which contained many coal and iron deposits, as well as limestone, and a small but dense network of railways developed to handle the minerals.
The Ellesmere Canal connected the area to Chester, for onward transport by coastal shipping. A tramway was opened in 1805 to extend the reach of the canal. When the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway was opened in 1846 – 1848 the transport opportunities were transformed, and railway branch lines were built. The S&CR merged with the Great Western Railway in 1854, and in time all the branches came under GWR control.
Short branches were extended into the area west of Ruabon and for some time formed a dense local network. As the population density increased, a local passenger operation was put on, based on Wrexham, the local market town.
In the period following World War I the mineral industry declined, and the passenger operation was discontinued. Mineral traffic reduced substantially by 1930, and the whole network was closed in 1963.
Ellesmere Canal
The mineral deposits, chiefly coal, iron and limestone, in the area immediately west of Ruabon led to an important, but localised, industry there in the eighteenth century. As the volume of production increased, the inadequacy of road transport facilities became more significant, and this led to the construction of the Ellesmere Canal; it opened to Trevor on 26 November 1805, crossing the River Dee by the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The basin at Trevor and the locality in generally came to be known as Pont Cysyllte, later Pontcysyllte.
Ruabon Brook Tramway
The canal company had considered extending the canal northwards to serve mineral extraction sites, but the terrain was difficult for canals, and it built a horse tramway instead. It had obtained powers on 29 June 1804 to build it, and the tramway opened on the same day as the canal, 26 November 1805, and was known as the Ruabon Brook Tramway.
Conversion of the tramway into a proper railway began in 1861, under the control of the London and North Western Railway. Work began at Pontcysyllte and continued north in stages to Afon Eitha, connecting several short branches to pits and factories, and the final one from Wynn Hall Colliery to Llwyneinion Brickworks, just north of where Rhos station was later built. From completion on 30 January 1867, the railway was worked by the New British Iron Company, which owned Wynnstay Colliery, a major source of traffic until the colliery closed in 1886.
In 1896 the Great Western Railway purchased the former tramway network, by agreement dated 12 February 1896, for the sum of £51,000.
Plas Madoc branch line
The Plas Madoc branch ran from the GWR line half a mile south of Ruabon to Plas Madoc colliery; it had been built privately, by the coalowner. By the 1880s it was extended across the Ruabon Brook line, crossing it on the level near Plâs y Waen, to brickworks north |

In July 2011, VRN filed a legal trademark infringement case at the Intellectual Property Office against Manuelito F. Luzon, owner of ZimZam Management which operates and manages Metro Manila station DWKY (which used the "Big Radio" brand). Luzon was accused of using the said brand without any permission from VRN, citing that VRN already owned the said brand alongside the "Big Sound FM" brand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel%20Sackett | Nathaniel Sackett (April 10, 1737 – July 28, 1805) was the spymaster appointed by General George Washington to create a network of civilian spies located in New York during the American Revolution. Sackett and his new spy ring would report to William Duer, a Continental Congressman, and General Washington. Sackett's later lack of progress led him to be relieved of his post. He was replaced with Benjamin Tallmadge, who built upon Sackett's work and established the Culper Spy Ring.
Early life
Nathaniel Sackett was born in Orange County, New York, on April 10, 1737, to Rev. Samuel Sackett and Hannah Hazard. From an early age, Nathaniel Sackett had shown interest in trading. He would later go on to work as a merchant before the American Revolution, settling in an area around Fishkill, New York, known as Mattewan. Nathaniel had worked with his uncle, Nathaniel Hazard, who was a merchant based out of New York from before he was 12 years old. When Sackett was 17 years old, he traveled to New York to work as an apprentice in his uncle's shop. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Sackett set up the first general store in Fishkill, New York. Nathaniel Sackett married Mary Rogers on January 3, 1759. Together they had five children: Annias Rogers Sackett, Samuel Sackett, Nathaniel Sackett, Hannah Sackett, and Elizabeth Sackett.
Role in the American Revolution
After the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, Nathaniel Sackett helped form what was known as the Rombout Precinct Committee of Safety in his home county of Duchess, New York. Sackett later served on the New York Committee for Detecting and Defeating Conspiracies. This Committee led him to work with William Duer, a Continental Congressman who was helping George Washington set up a network of civilian spies in New York. Duer later recommended Sackett to George Washington as the man to set up the new network. Duer and Washington believed that Sackett's ability to organize and status as a civilian made him the perfect candidate to set up a spy network consisting of agents who were not enlisted in the military. Washington sent a letter to Sackett in February 1777 requesting that he enlist other civilians to monitor the activities of the British in New York. Washington granted Sackett an allowance of $50 per month to recruit others to the cause.
The operations of the spy network consisted of movements of soldiers across the Long Island and New York City area. However, their progress was insubstantial. Nathaniel Sackett failed to make any considerable progress with the spies in New York. Despite Sackett's ability to organize, he and his agents failed several times and failed to satisfy Washington's demands of the fledgling spy ring. Sackett was relieved of his position and replaced by Benjamin Tallmadge. Building upon Sackett's work, Tallmadge later created the Culper Spy Ring.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest%20of%20the%20Great%20Jewels | Quest of the Great Jewels is a closed-end, computer moderated, play-by-email game. It was initially published and moderated by Zorph Enterprises in the early 1980s. The game was created by Mike Shefler.
Gameplay
Quest of the Great Jewels is a computer-moderated play-by-mail game. It is a "closed ended wargame" with turn times of about three weeks for regular games and slightly longer for team games. Reviewer Dale A Perkins noted that it was most simply described as a "fantasy wargame centered on hand-to-hand combat". Quest involved twelve players, each of whom could choose one of four races, each of which had different objectives and powers:
Azoni were fighters who bred slowly and earned victory points by building citadels
Quntag were empire builders who earned victory points by controlling territory
Rilris were treasure seekers who earned money by hoarding money and magic treasures
Slenth bred at a prodigious rate, and although they were the weakest fighters, they earned victory points by destroying and ravaging
The four races were well-balanced, with no race offering an advantage over the others.
In addition to building and conquering, players could seek out magical talismans that would give them some sort of advantage over other players. These were found in neutral cities, in dragon hoards or in ten Forbidden Cities. In order to enter a Forbidden City, the player first had to happen upon a key. However, the player then had to discover the hidden location of the Forbidden City that the key opened in order to successfully unlock the gate and retrieve the magic jewel.
The game's goal was to acquire all three of the "great jewels" which were "talismans of immense power". Another way to win the game was to have the highest score on the final turn. However, obtaining all three jewels ended the game automatically. By 1986, no one had yet done this. Finally, Zorph Enterprises announced in the May/June 1986 issue of Paper Mayhem, that a game had ended with someone capturing all three jewels (game QJ-13).
When the game began, the victory condition was to be the first player to gain a specific but unrevealed number of victory points. However, after player complaints that the games were too short, Zorph Enterprises changed the victory condition, making the winner the player with the most victory points when the game ended at a specific but unrevealed point somewhere between Turn 20 and Turn 30.
Quest of the Great Jewels was computer moderated, with a turn every 10 days. The initial cost was $10 for the rulebook and the first two turns, $2.50 for turns 3–10, and $3 for subsequent turns.
Reception
In the April 1985 edition of Dragon (Issue 96), Mike Gray was enthusiastic about the game, saying that it was "one of my favorite play-by-mail games... I enjoy building up my empire, sending great armies into battle, and capturing special magic items." Gray did question the game balance, noting that as a Slenth "it seems to be very hard to get enough |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters%20II%20%28computer%20video%20game%29 | Ghostbusters II is a 1989 action game based on the film of the same name. It was published by Activision for various computer platforms. British studio Foursfield developed a version for Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum, which also got ported to the MSX by New Frontier. It features three levels based on scenes from the film. Dynamix developed a separate version for the DOS, also based on the film. The non-DOS versions were praised for the graphics and audio, but criticized for long loading times, disk swapping, and the final level. The DOS, Commodore 64 and Amiga versions were the only versions released in North America.
Gameplay
Ghostbusters II follows the plot of the film, in which the spirit of Vigo the Carpathian intends to enter the Earth world and take it over, by inhabiting the body of Oscar Barrett, the baby son of Dana Barrett. The player controls the Ghostbusters team as they try to stop Vigo.
The DOS version of the game begins with the Ghostbusters battling the ghosts of the Scoleri brothers in a courtroom, as in the film. Subsequently, the player can choose to do various activities, which include hunting for ghosts to earn money. Three ghost-plagued locations can be played: Central Park, Northrones Department Store, and the Docks. In each location, the player blasts ghosts until they become trapped. The player must avoid slimeballs and fireballs thrown by the ghosts. The player can also collect slime samples from an abandoned underground train tunnel, but must avoid Slimer ghosts in the process. The collected slime is then tested with the use of a CD player. The slime is placed in a beaker and the player selects a song from the CD player; nine songs are available to choose from, and the player must select three calming songs to stabilize the slime. If the player chooses incorrectly, the slime explodes out of the beaker and the player must return to the train station to retrieve more slime. If the player loses a ghostbusting job or the slime challenge, then the player's Ghostbuster is sent to the Parkview mental ward. As one of the other Ghostbusters, the player can choose to rescue the institutionalized character from the ward. The player must earn $55,000 to take control of the Statue of Liberty, which is used to reach an art museum, where the Ghostbusters battle Vigo.
The other computer versions – Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX – feature three distinct levels based on scenes from the film. In the first level, Ray Stantz is lowered into a subway tunnel to collect slime, while using three different weapons to deter various spirits. The player swings back and forth while descending the tunnel to collect the slime. The player has a courage meter which depletes if ghosts attack the player character, thereby scaring him. A life is lost if the meter is drained completely. The second level is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up in which the Statue of Liberty walks along Broadway in New |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My%20Kitchen%20Rules%20%28series%2011%29 | The eleventh season of the Australian competitive cooking competition show My Kitchen Rules, titled The Rivals, premiered on the Seven Network on 2 February 2020.
Applications for contestants opened during the airing of the tenth season. Pete Evans returned as series judge, with Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel acting as a judge/mentor in the challenge/elimination rounds.
The start date for the season was confirmed as 2 February 2020.
This was Evans' final season as he quit in May 2020.
Format changes
Contestants - This season was "Fans vs Favourites" - with 5 pairs of Fans competing against 5 pairs of Favourites - 4 pairs from past-seasons and a 5th Hybrid team, consisting of two former-pairs forming a new pair.
Teams - The contestants were split into two teams, the Fans represented the House of Colin (Harbourside Mansion) and the Faves represented the House of Manu (Inner City Warehouse).
Judges - Pete Evans quit judging this season. For every round as Manu Feildel will be a mentor along with Colin Fassnidge who will only judge their opposing teams.
Prize Money - This prize money has been reduced from $250,000 to $100,000.
Instant Restaurant Rules - Each team was mentored by Manu or Colin during their cooks. This year, the teams did not score individually and they scored in their house instead. After the round, the lowest scoring team from each house went head to head into an Elimination Cook-off where one was eliminated. The team cooking sets out instructions for the teammates to set up the instant restaurants during the cooking team's shopping period.
Restaurant Takeover - Each house had to choose representations to cook two courses in restaurants in Australia. The judges, public and the other house scored each team's two-course meal and after the round, the house with the lower point (the total point of the representations) chose one team in the house while the other house chose one team to cook in the Elimination Cook-off.
Semi-Final - Ultimate Instant Restaurant - Instead of the format of the previous seasons that two teams cooked-off every night, the Top 4 cooked in the UIR Round to have a slot in the Grand Final. However, everyone including teams which are eliminated came back to judge the food as jury. Moreover, teams only had to cook 1 dish per course instead of 2. After this round, the two highest scoring teams went into the Grand Final.
Grand Final - This year, teams cooked in a restaurant in Sydney instead of the MKR Headquarters. Each grand-finalist had to cook a four-course meal including Canape, Entrée, Main and Dessert. Judges Pete, Manu and Colin voted, making the total possible score 30 instead of 60.

Note
Jake and Elle were originally part of the House of Manu but in the Top 6 competed for the House of Colin due to the lack of teams in the challenge but then they chose to go back to House Manu.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State%20privacy%20laws%20of%20the%20United%20States | Privacy laws vary from state to state within the United States of America. Several states have recently passed new legislation that adapt to changes in cyber security laws, medical privacy laws, and other privacy related laws. State laws are typically extensions of existing United States federal laws, expanding them or changing the implementation of the law.
History
Historically, state laws on privacy date back before the founding of the United States and most authorities left protection of personal information to the individual. However, after the creation of a national economy as a result of the Civil War, governmental agencies were created to recommend stronger privacy protections. This led to the creation of de facto privacy commissioners, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the State Attorney General.
The FTC was created in 1914 to protect individuals from harmful trade practices, and in 1995 the FTC began to study and analyze privacy issues in electronic commerce and began to place and enforce regulations.
Most state legislation on privacy are expansions of federal laws.
The Uniform Law Commission has proposed a model bill – the Uniform Personal Data Protection Act (“UPDPA”), which “provides a reasonable level of consumer protection without incurring the compliance and regulatory costs associated with some existing state regimes.”
Types of privacy legislation
There are several different types of privacy legislation currently in place. State laws vary between these niche privacy spheres. Each type of legislation tries to protect a certain area of privacy. Types of legislation include:
Medical Privacy
Data Privacy
Financial Privacy
Medical privacy
Laws on biobanks
One major aspect of medical privacy is laws placed on biobanks. A biobank is a collection source that stores and manages human specimens. Major federal laws that apply to biobanks are regulations by the Food and Drug Administration and Common Rule. The Common Rule is a guideline for in the United States on research involving human subjects. Other major federals laws that govern biobanks include: The Privacy Act of 1974, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2014.
State legislation on privacy tends to follow the same patterns and orders as federal laws in these matters. But in some cases state laws can be more detailed and stringent, while being in ordinance to the federal laws in place. With focus to biobanks, state laws can restrict a laboratory's ability to reject a customer and can regulate what happened with data after a test. Certain states have privacy laws that deal with genetic-specific information. Genetic-specific information relates to information what information like DNA that can be used to find details about individuals. Information that ca |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport%20privacy | Airport privacy involves the right of personal privacy for passengers when it comes to screening procedures, surveillance, and personal data being stored at airports. This practice intertwines airport security measures and privacy specifically the advancement of security measures following the 9/11 attacks in the United States and other global terrorist attacks. Several terrorist attacks, such as 9/11, have led airports all over the world to look to the advancement of new technology such as body and baggage screening, detection dogs, facial recognition, and the use of biometrics in electronic passports. Amidst the introduction of new technology and security measures in airports and the growing rates of travelers there has been a rise of risk and concern in privacy.
History of airport policies
Before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the only security measure in place in U.S. airports were metal detectors. A metal detector's ability to only detect metal weapons made it inefficient in detecting nonmetals such as liquids, sharp objects, or explosives. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) increased security measures all over the airports. Policies were made to prohibit the carry on of liquids, sharp objects, and explosives. Airlines instructed passengers to arrive 2 hours before their flight is to depart if traveling domestically and 3 hours if traveling internationally. After passing through screening, passengers were selected at random for additional screening including bag checks. After an incident, that involved a passenger carrying a bomb in their shoe, security screeners asked passengers to remove their shoes when passing through checkpoints. In February 2002, the TSA officially took over the responsibility for airport security. In 2009, airport security measures were once again shaken when a passenger, now commonly known as the "underwear bomber," smuggled a bomb into the airport facility in his underwear. Before these terrorist attacks, only 5 percent of bags were screened. Following these attacks, all bags were subject to screening.
In 2008, the European Union considered the use of full body scanners to overcome the challenges with metal detectors in not being able to detect nonmetal weapons and also the challenge of pat-downs. The European commission came to the consensus that passengers must have an option to decline body scanning.
Technology and privacy
Body screening
Screening Technology has advanced to detect any harmful materials under a traveler's clothes and also detect any harmful materials that may have been consumed internally. Full body scanners or Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) were introduced to U.S. Airports in 2006. Two types of body screening that are currently being used at all airports internationally are backscatters and millimeter wave scanners. Backscatters use a high-speed yet thin intensity x-ray beam to portray the digital image of an individual's |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dask%20%28software%29 | Dask is an open-source Python library for parallel computing. Dask scales Python code from multi-core local machines to large distributed clusters in the cloud. Dask provides a familiar user interface by mirroring the APIs of other libraries in the PyData ecosystem including: Pandas, scikit-learn and NumPy. It also exposes low-level APIs that help programmers run custom algorithms in parallel.
Dask was created by Matthew Rocklin in December 2014 and has over 9.8k stars and 500 contributors on GitHub.
Dask is used by retail, financial, governmental organizations, as well as life science and geophysical institutes. Walmart, Wayfair, JDA, GrubHub, General Motors, Nvidia, Harvard Medical School, Capital One and NASA are among the organizations that use Dask.
Overview
Dask has two parts:
Big data collections (high level and low level)
Dynamic task scheduling
Dask's high-level parallel collections – DataFrames, Bags, and Arrays – operate in parallel on datasets that may not fit into memory.
Dask’s task scheduler executes task graphs in parallel. It can scale to thousand-node clusters. This powers the high-level collections as well as custom, user-defined workloads using low-level collections.
Dask collections
Dask supports several user interfaces called high-level and low-level collections:
High-level
Dask Array: Parallel NumPy arrays
Dask Bag: Parallel Python lists
Dask DataFrame: Parallel Pandas DataFrames
Machine Learning: Parallel scikit-learn
Others from external projects, like Xarray
Low-level
Delayed: Parallel function evaluation
Futures: Real-time parallel function evaluation
Under the hood, each of these user interfaces adopts the same parallel computing machinery.
High-level collections
Dask's high-level collections are the natural entry point for users who are interested in scaling up their pandas, NumPy or scikit-learn workload. Dask’s DataFrame, Array and Dask-ML are alternatives to Pandas DataFrame, Numpy Array and scikit-learn respectively with slight variations to the original interfaces.
Dask Array
Dask Array is a high-level collection that parallelizes array-based workloads and maintains the familiar NumPy API, such as slicing, arithmetic, reductions, mathematics, etc., making it easy for Numpy users to scale up array operations.
A Dask array comprises many smaller n-dimensional Numpy arrays and uses a blocked algorithm to enable computation on larger-than-memory arrays. During an operation, Dask translates the array operation into a task graph, breaks up large Numpy arrays into multiple smaller chunks, and executes the work on each chunk in parallel. Results from each chunk are combined to produce the final output.
Dask DataFrame
Dask DataFrame is a high-level collection that parallelizes DataFrame based workloads. A Dask DataFrame comprises many smaller Pandas DataFrames partitioned along the index. It maintains the familiar Pandas API, making it easy for Pandas users to scale up DataFrame workloads. Du |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuha%20Mo%21 | Kuha Mo! () was a 2019 Philippine documentary and news magazine television program broadcast by ABS-CBN, anchored by Anthony Taberna. It premiered on the network's Yes Weekend Saturday afternoon block from April 27, 2019, to July 25, 2020, and airs worldwide on The Filipino Channel, replacing DocuCentral Presents.
Overview
Kuha Mo! is the latest addition to ABS-CBN Integrated News' informative and advocacy-driven programming that aims to raise public awareness of stories and issues caught on camera. Hosted by Anthony Taberna, one of ABS-CBN's proactive personalities, Kuha Mo! does not stop with just featuring the story of our case studies but extends to help individuals who may need assistance or support regarding their situation.
Production notes
On November 16, 2019, Kuha Mo! was pre-empted by the UAAP Season 82 Men's Basketball Finals on ABS-CBN.
From March 21 to May 2, 2020, Kuha Mo! temporarily suspended its production of the new episodes and aired re-runs due to the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and ABS-CBN stopped its free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) due to the lapsing of the network's legislative franchise. As a result, the program released new episodes through digital platforms.
Kuha Mo! returned on-air via pay television network Kapamilya Channel from June 13 to July 25, 2020. Its reruns ended after Anthony Taberna transferred to All TV and DZRH.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling%20in%20Malaysia | Data from the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) collected from January to November throughout 2018 puts the national recycling rate at 0.06%, or about 1,800 tonnes of the 3 million tonnes of waste collected in the period. Majority of the waste were sent to landfills.
In 2015, household, industrial, commercial and institutional waste generation in the country was at 38,563 tonne per day of which 88.8% went to landfills. In 2005, Malaysia produced about 7.34 million tonnes of solid wastes, of which 30% are possibly recyclable but only 3-5% were actually processed. Given the insufficiency in recyclables within the country and the potential lucrative profits, Malaysian companies have been importing rubbish from foreign countries, more so since the total plastic waste ban of China in 2018.
Household recycling rate in Malaysia is estimated to be at 9.7% in a nationwide survey in 2011. The same report indicated that Kuantan had the highest household recycling rate (18.4%) while Sabah rest at the lowest with 4.5%. Kuala Lumpur, the nation's capital with an estimated population of 1.66 million people in 2009, produced household waste of around 0.8 to 1.3 kg per day, that amount together with the industrial waste of the city led to the generation of an average 3,500 tonnes of waste per day. In 2012, its household recycling rate was at 10.4%.
In the Eleventh Malaysia Plan 2016- 2020, the stated solid waste management goals was to achieve a rate of 40% waste diversion from landfill and 22% recycling rate by 2020.
Legislation and regulations
2018 Malaysian plastic recycling crisis
In January 2018, China launched the National Sword policy, banning plastic waste imports. Since then, imports of plastic waste into Malaysia has surged. According to a Greenpeace report "Malaysia imported 195,444.46 metric tonnes of plastic waste from the United States (US) from January to July 2018 alone, in comparison to a total of 97,544 metric tonnes for January to November 2017". The report warned that there were regulation violations in the disposal of imported plastic waste to the country (plastic is burned on roadsides in the open-air, dumped in unregulated or poorly regulated dump sites close to bodies of water, discarded in abandoned buildings or just left to degrade and rot in the open) thus contributing to environmental pollution and harmful health impact for Malaysians. These wastes come primarily from developed countries, with the US, Japan, United Kingdom, being the top 3, and Australia, New Zealand, Finland, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland as the rest. In October 2018, the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin announced that the country would imposed a limit and eventual ban on the import of all non-recyclable solid waste, particularly plastic and that up to 30 illegal factories have been closed. Many of these illegal factories were situated in Jenjarom, Kuala Lan |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNWT-LD | WNWT-LD (channel 37) is a television station in New York City, airing programming from Story Television. It is owned by Weigel Broadcasting alongside Middletown Township, New Jersey-licensed MeTV station WJLP (channel 33) and Bridgeport, Connecticut-licensed Story Television outlet WZME (channel 43). WNWT-LD and WJLP share studios in Freehold Township, New Jersey, and transmitter facilities at 4 Times Square in midtown Manhattan. Despite WNWT-LD legally holding a low-power license, it transmits using WJLP's full-power spectrum through a channel sharing agreement. This ensures complete reception across the New York City television market.
The station has used various virtual channels since its conversion to digital television in 2012, due to the lack of allocations in the New York and Philadelphia markets, starting on channel 3 (conflicting with KYW-TV), then 51 (averting a conflict with NJ PBS station WNJN on channel 50) from late 2013 until mid-2019, then 6 and 18 (conflicting with WPVI-TV, then WUVN in Hartford, Connecticut), before finally settling on channel 37 on August 1, 2019.
History
As W38CL, W03BM, and WBQM-LP
Founded in 1989 as the second over the air television station in Brooklyn, the station didn't go on the air until 1998. Originally on channel 38 as W38CL, licensed to (The) Bronx with its transmitter at Sound Shore Medical Center in New Rochelle, it was later moved to channel 3 due to a reassignment of channel 38 to WWOR-TV as its new digital companion channel and WPXU-LP in Amityville, New York. Throughout the 1990s the station ran The Box, and later MTV2 through transfer of ownership from Viacom. At that point in early 2006, it switched to Cornerstone Television. On August 17, 2007, Renard Communications Corp. (which owned almost all of New York State's The Box affiliates) announced that he would sell WBQM-LP, along with, at that time, sister station WMBQ-CA to Equity Media Holdings for $8 million. However, the transaction had a closing deadline set for June 1, 2008, and either party could cancel the sale if it were not completed by then. The sale was not consummated. As of December 8, 2008, Equity Media Holdings was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
As WBQM-LD
In February 2012, Renard reached another deal to sell WBQM-LD, this time to Buenavision TV Network NY, LLC (WMBQ was sold separately several months earlier).
As of February 2013, WBQM-LD affiliated with CNN en Español and transmitted CNN en Español's signal on virtual channel 3.1 and 3.4, while the local Buenavision signal was on 3.2. As of November 2013 its virtual channel changed from channel 3 to channel 51, although its real channel frequency on channel 50 did not change. CNN en Español was removed in 2014 to join WRNN-TV thus returning to a Spanish independent station.
As WNWT-LD
On December 9, 2018, BuenaVision agreed to sell WBQM-LD to PMCM TV for over $300,000. The deal, which was completed on February 19, 2019, made WBQM-LD a sister station to WJLP. On April 18, t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LandLords | LandLords is a fantasy play-by-mail game that was published by Quest Computer Services, beginning in 1984. The game was a computer moderated, closed-end game with the goal to retrieve treasures from castles in a medieval setting. The game received generally positive reviews in periodicals of the period, with specific mentions of its combat, maps, and low error rates on turn sheets.
Development and gameplay
LandLords was a computer moderated play-by-mail game in which players compete to find the three treasures in the vaults of the 30 castles located in a barbaric land. The goal of the game was to be the first player to return three treasures to your fortress.
In 1985, the game had six maps available for players to choose from: Africa, Appalaccia, England, Europe, the Holy Land, and North America. Maps were updated every turn to aid players in planning their gameplay.
At the outset of the game, players had two computer-generated "tactical maps" with villages, castles, towers, and country locations to help plan the fortunes of the single country at their disposal. Players needed to manage a number of possessions and variables such as caravans, fortresses, and peasants to affect outputs such as gold income and food available. Advancing further into the game introduced additional elements, such as combat involving caravans and villages, as well as dragons which had "artifacts" that could aid players.
Orion Scott reviewed the game BattleLords in the January 1992 issue of Flagship, noting that it was upgraded from LandLords, which had been reviewed in issue #5 of Flagship.
Reception
Richard Derham reviewed LandLords in The Space Gamer No. 76. Derham commented that "LandLords is slow-paced at the start, but it stands the test of time. And for those seeking combat, there's plenty of chance for that in the mid-game. A good addition to the family of PBM."
Michael Horn reviewed the game in the Nov/Dec 1985 issue of Paper Mayhem, a magazine for play-by-mail gamers, commenting positively on the ease of use the turn sheets, the fact that he had zero errors in sixteen turns of play (a first in nine years of PBM gameplay), simple rules, and maps which were "the best [he'd] seen in any game". Yet Horn thought the game was challenging enough for a wide range of players.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20cloning | Digital cloning is an emerging technology, that involves deep-learning algorithms, which allows one to manipulate currently existing audio, photos, and videos that are hyper-realistic. One of the impacts of such technology is that hyper-realistic videos and photos makes it difficult for the human eye to distinguish what is real and what is fake. Furthermore, with various companies making such technologies available to the public, they can bring various benefits as well as potential legal and ethical concerns.
Digital cloning can be categorized into audio-visual (AV), memory, personality, and consumer behaviour cloning. In AV cloning, the creation of a cloned digital version of the digital or non-digital original can be used, for example, to create a fake image, an avatar, or a fake video or audio of a person that cannot be easily differentiated from the real person it is purported to represent. A memory and personality clone like a mindclone is essentially a digital copy of a person’s mind. A consumer behavior clone is a profile or cluster of customers based on demographics.
Truby and Brown coined the term “digital thought clone” to refer to the evolution of digital cloning into a more advanced personalized digital clone that consists of “a replica of all known data and behavior on a specific living person, recording in real-time their choices, preferences, behavioral trends, and decision making processes.”
Digital cloning first became popular in the entertainment industry. The idea of digital clones originated from movie companies creating virtual actors of actors who have died. When actors diey during a movie production, a digital clone of the actor can be synthesized using past footage, photos, and voice recordings to mimic the real person in order to continue the movie production.
Modern artificial intelligence, has allowed for the creation of deepfakes. This involves manipulation of a video to the point where the person depicted in the video is saying or performing actions he or she may not have consented to. In April 2018, BuzzFeed released a deepfake video of Jordan Peele, which was manipulated to depict former President, Barack Obama, making statements he has previously not made in public to warn the public against the potential dangers of deepfakes.
In addition to deepfakes, companies such as Intellitar now allows one to easily create a digital clone of themselves by feeding a series of images and voice recordings. This essentially creates digital immortality, allowing loved ones to interact with those who died. Digital cloning not only allows one to digitally memorialize their loved ones, but they can also be used to create avatars of historical figures and be used in an educational setting.
With the development of various technology, as mentioned above, there are numerous concerns that arises, including identity theft, data breaches, and other ethical concerns. One of the issues with digital cloning is that there are little to no |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybercrime%20in%20Ghana | Ghana has one of the highest rates of cybercrime in the world, ranking 7th in a 2008 Internet Crime Survey. The most popular form of cybercrime in Ghana is cyberfraud and is typically achieved via credit card fraud. However, recent decreases in universal credit card usage has seen the expansion of other cybercrimes such as blackmail and hacking. This growth in crime has warranted a government response, with policies specifically addressing the cyberspace being developed. This has necessitated various studies including a cyber security maturity study which was inaugurated by the Ministry of Communications and conducted by the Global Cyber Security Capacity Center (GCSCC) of the University of Oxford in collaboration with the World Bank.
History
Cybercrime in Ghana can be traced back to the "419 schemes" in Nigeria, also known as "advance-fee scams" prior to the internet. These scams were a form of credit card fraud whereby the perpetrator would offer a monetary incentive, usually in the form of an international money transfer, in exchange for several down payments from the victim. This form of scamming became especially popular during the oil crisis of the 1980s, as Nigeria's oil dependent economy made a large portion of the workforce redundant. Within this demographic was a large quantity of Ghanaian workers, who had migrated due to employment opportunities in the oil sector. Subsequently, the scammers imported the trade upon their return to Ghana, however, it remained relatively inconsequential in terms of scale. The proliferation of cybercrime in Ghana really began in the early 21st century when the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector became liberalized via a 5-year accelerated development program, helping to expand and improve telecommunications infrastructure. This led to a five percentage point increase in internet users from 2000 to 2011, with home internet subscribers reaching 3 million nationwide. This growth in internet usage, along with technological devices made available via e-waste, led to a significant increase in cybercrime due to relative ease of access to the cyberweb. Initially, credit card fraud was by far the most common cybercrime. However, since 2004, other types of both cyberfraud and other cybercrimes have become more popular.
Common types of cybercrime in Ghana
Cyberfraud
Identity fraud
This form of fraud involves the perpetrator assuming a fake online activity and will contact victims via social networking and dating websites. The most common form of this is "romance fraud", which involves fake profiles being generated in order to attract victims. Typically, older men and women are targeted and are manipulated into sending gifts and money either for romantic purposes or because of a promise of reciprical gain. These frauds have the ability to be relatively sophisticated through the use of doctored photos, diplomas and other identification documents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis%20Hinds | Mavis Kathleen Hinds (1929–2009) was an English meteorologist who, together with Fred Bushby, pioneered the use of computers to carry out meteorological calculations in the UK. She studied Mathematics at University College London (UCL) and on graduating joined the UK Meteorological (Met) Office in 1951, attending their Initial Forecasting Course that year. She went on to work with Bushby in using the Lyons Electronic Office (LEO), an early computer developed by J. Lyons & Co of Cadby Hall, London, becoming an expert in writing, running and correcting computer programs for weather forecasting. She was seen at that time as one of the first prominent female meteorologists and also the first to play a leading role in the development of Numerical Weather Prediction, not only in the UK but also worldwide.
Early life and education
Hinds passed her Higher School Certificate in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and physics. This was an ideal combination of subjects for the study of meteorology in which she was already developing an interest. On the strength of her examination results, Mavis was awarded a scholarship and a place to read Mathematics at University College London (UCL).
Research and career
From 1951 Hinds worked at the UK Met Office as part of their Forecast Research Division, which had been set up in 1949 in Dunstable, England. Hinds, as part of the Division, was instrumental in the development of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). The earliest days of NWP in the late 1940s relied on hand calculation but as electronic computing machines began to be developed in the US (ENIAC) and the UK (EDSAC and LEO I), NWP grew in reliability and prevalence. In 1954 at a meeting of the Royal Meteorological Society, Bushby and Hinds presented the first computer-based baroclinic forecast in Europe. Since 1951, they had been making use of the computing power of the first Lyons Electronic Office (LEO), the world's first business computer, developed by J. Lyons & Co caterers of Cadby Hall, London.
Because in the early 1950s the UK Met Office had no in-house computing facilities, calculating power had to be obtained from part-time use of LEO I and also the Ferranti Mark 1 Star at the University of Manchester. Use of these very early computers involved working unsociable hours when the machines were not being used by others. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s Hinds worked with Fred Bushby and others on a series of published papers that detailed the developments made.
In 1981, Hind reflected on the impact of computing on weather prediction that started for her with work done using the LEO I and in 1994 contributed a chapter about the history of UK Met Office computerisation to Peter Bird's book on the development of the LEO computers
Hinds later worked in management roles before her retirement in 1989.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony%20Di%20Iorio | Anthony Di Iorio is a Canadian entrepreneur primarily known as a co-founder of Ethereum and an early investor in Bitcoin. Di Iorio is the founder and CEO of the blockchain company Decentral, and the associated Jaxx wallet. He also served as the first chief digital officer of the Toronto Stock Exchange. In February 2018, Forbes estimated his net worth at $750 million–$1 billion.
Early life
Di Iorio grew up with two older siblings in north Toronto, Ontario. He graduated with a degree in marketing from Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University). Di Iorio began developing websites during the early 1990s, and eventually entered the rental housing market as an investor and landlord in Toronto, Ontario. In 2012 he sold his rental properties in order to invest in Bitcoin, and began to organize companies in the field of cryptocurrency.
Career
Di Iorio began his career working in marketing at a machine manufacturer before he went on to work for his family's patio-door making business in Woodbridge, Ontario. The family business was sold in 2008, and Di Iorio’s father supported him as he launched a short-lived geothermal drilling company.
He first learned about bitcoin from a podcast called Free Talk Live in 2012. According to The Globe and Mail, he "had an anti-authoritarian streak" and questioned "the fundamentals of mainstream economics." Di Iorio bought his first bitcoin the same day for $9.73. He created the Toronto Bitcoin Meetup Group which held its first meeting at a pub in the same year. As the Meetups grew from about eight attendees to hundreds, Di Iorio formed the Bitcoin Alliance of Canada.
In 2013 Di Iorio founded a Bitcoin wallet Chrome extension called KryptoKit, with Steve Dakh, that created an app for web browsers that allows users to pay for products and services using the cryptocurrency wallet. KryptoKit was later joined by Buterin, Erik Voorhees, and Roger Ver in 2014. In 2014 Di Iorio co-founded the cryptocurrency platform Ethereum, that has been valued at $7 billion and had a market cap of $1.6 billion in 2017.
In 2021, he stated that he intended to leave the crypto market due to "safety concerns."
TSX, Jaxx, and boards
In January 2016, TMX Group hired Di Iorio as the first chief digital officer of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). In February 2016, Di Iorio announced the launch of Jaxx, a unified platform that provides wallet services for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. He left his position at TSX to focus on Jaxx. Di Iorio is the founder and serves as CEO of Decentral Inc., the developer of Jaxx.
Di Iorio has been involved in the development of a ratings system for initial coin offerings and attempting to unite various cryptocurrencies into one financial ecosystem. In a series of articles published in February 2018, Forbes named Di Iorio among its list of the top-20 richest people in cryptocurrency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative%20Voice%20file | Creative Voice , filename extension .voc, is an audio format for digital audio data developed in the 1990s Sound Blaster sound cards from Creative Technology.
Construction
Original 8-bit format
The file format consists of a 26-byte header and a series of subsequent data blocks containing the audio information. The byte order is little-endian.
The header is followed by data blocks. Each data block begins with a type byte describing the contents of the data, followed by 3 bytes for the size of the data. For two of the 9 defined types, the subsequent size of the data is missing, so the block ultimately consists of only a single byte – these are 0x00 terminator, and 0x07 repeat end.
If a size is specified, the first 4 bytes will be followed by a block of the content resulting from the specified type with the specified size.
The file optionally ends with the terminator block (data block of type 0x00).
Use
Creative Voice files were used in various DOS games when they could use sound blaster cards for audio output, such as Eye of the Beholder.
The spread of the file format disappeared noticeably with the advent of RIFF WAVE, which was already supported in Windows. However, the Creative Voice file format required the installation of additional player programs included with the Sound Blaster Card drivers. With the advent of AC'97, WAVE, file extension .WAV, finally prevailed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20snowiest%20places%20in%20the%20United%20States%20by%20state | The list of snowiest places in the United States by state shows average annual snowfall totals for the period from mid-1985 to mid-2015. Only places in the official climate database of the National Weather Service, a service of NOAA, are included in this list. Some ski resorts and unofficial weather stations report higher amounts of snowfall than places on this list. Official weather stations are usually located in populated places and snowfall statistics for isolated and unpopulated areas are often not recorded.
Mount Rainier and Mount Baker in Washington are the snowiest places in the United States which have weather stations, receiving annually on average. By comparison, the populated place with the highest snowfall in the world is believed to be Sukayu Onsen in the Siberian-facing Japanese Alps. Sukayu Onsen receives (nearly 58 feet) of snow annually. Nearby mountain slopes may receive even more.
The amount of snow received at weather stations varies substantially from year to year. For example, the annual snowfall at Paradise Ranger Station in Mount Rainier National Park has been as little as in 2014-2015 and as much as in 1971–1972.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trens%20Intercidades | Trens Intercidades (TIC) is a four line regional rail network proposed by the government of the State of São Paulo in Brazil, linking the city of São Paulo with Jundiaí, Campinas, São José dos Campos, Sorocaba and Santos.
Background
In 2010, São Paulo state government showed off a project to build up 4 regional intercity train routes connecting the area surrounding São Paulo with high population cities close by, which today rely exclusively on intercity buses that are almost completely saturated and running at absurdly short intervals at full capacity. The original plan was for construction to start 2013–2014, but the Brazilian financial crisis that it is suffering since 2015 has put all projects on standby, and the next prediction is for construction to start only by 2020. In 2016 the Brazilian government confirmed it was seeking South Korean assistance with the development of a São Paulo regional rail network and in 2019, the cost was estimated at R$ 20 billion.
Lines
São Paulo to Sorocaba
The first line will depart from Água Branca interchange station in São Paulo and end in Sorocaba, a 500.000 inhabitants city about 100 km west of São Paulo, stopping midway at São Roque and a populous neighborhood of Sorocaba, Brigadeiro Tobias. The complete journey will take around 50 minutes
São Paulo to Santos
The second line will depart from the to-be-built São Carlos interchange station in São Paulo and head to Santos, a 430.000 inhabitants city 50 km south of São Paulo, in the coast, which an important beach town as well as Brazil's most important freight port. The train will stop in 2 cities along the way. The complete journey will take around 35 minutes.
Options considered for this route include a new 30 km tunnel between Pref. Celso Daniel-Santo André station on Line 10–Turquoise and São Vicente.
São Paulo to Campinas and Americana
The third, and probably the most important and urgent line, is the line connecting São Paulo's Água Branca interchange station to Jundiaí, Campinas and Americana. Campinas is one of Brazil's largest regional centers, it is just 90 km north of São Paulo, and has its own Metropolitan area with over 3 million inhabitants, Jundiaí is a 400.000 inhabitants city in between them, and Americana is a 200.000 inhabitants city in the north limit of the Campinas Region. The journey from São Paulo to Jundiaí will take 20 minutes, to Campinas around 40 to 50 minutes and Americana just over an hour.
São Paulo to São José dos Campos
The fourth route will leave from the Penha intermodal station and head to São José dos Campos, a 710.000 inhabitants city 100 km east of São Paulo, which is a very important tech center, with the headquarters of Embraer, for example, two public and multiple private universities, and which also possesses a large industrial complex, ranging from automotive and military to chemical and metal-mechanical.
Other routes
There are also future plans for other important routes such as from Sorocaba to Paulí |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittle%20School%20%26%20Studios | Whittle School & Studios is a for-profit educational company founded by Chris Whittle. It aims to be the "world's first global school" with a network of campuses around the world. The school opened campuses in Washington, D.C., and Shenzhen in China in fall 2019, but struggled to attract students and revenue. On July 8, 2022, the D.C. campus suspended operations.
History
By 2019, Whittle School & Studios had raised more than US$900 million in cash and costs borne by developers of the school's campuses. The goal was for much of the company's and school's leaders to come from China, India, and the United States. Whittle said students were prodded into boarding for two years at an international campus and to graduate speaking at least two languages. The school also claimed to offer "hands-on, personalized learning".
Several high-profile initial hires—including Jim Hawkins from Harrow; Dennis Bisgaard, who was tapped to run the Washington campus; and Rebecca Upham, who was executive chairwoman of the DC campus—left the company before the start of the 2021-22 school year.
In March 2021, the company said it would merge with the Varkey Education Group before the 2021-22 school year, obtaining new capital and allowing it to pay creditors. The merger was never consummated.
Several contractors and vendors hit the company with liens after it failed to pay invoices worth more than $35 million. Turner Construction, Arup, Children's National Hospital, Sterling Infosystems, and K&S Management and Supply have filed lawsuits in D.C. courts and other jurisdictions alleging nonpayment on outstanding invoices. In November 2021, Whittle's CEO acknowledged these claims and indicated that the school planned to make payment on the outstanding amounts, but the number of claims and liens has continued to climb in early 2022.
The company was sued in New York courts by Zurich Insurance, which alleged nonpayment of workers' compensation premiums of about $120,000.
In December 2021, the company emailed parents telling them that they were unable to pay teachers. In February 2022, the school's building was slated for a foreclosure auction because the company did not make payments toward a construction loan of $162.4 million taken on by the landlord to fund the Renzo Piano-designed improvements requested by Whittle. The auction by Alex Cooper Auctioneers was scheduled for March 24, 2022, but canceled in April.
In 2022, the company canceled plans to open a location in Brooklyn but did open one in Suzhou, China.
In May 2022, the school enrolled fewer than 130 students.
On July 8, 2022, the DC campus suspended operations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elad%20Ratson | Elad Ratson () is an Israeli Diplomat and a Digital Diplomacy expert, Head of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Data Diplomacy R&D Unit. Ratson's previous Diplomatic positions include Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Israel in Côte d'Ivoire, Director of Public Relations of the Embassy of Israel in France and Director of Research & Development at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters in Jerusalem. Ratson is most known for his work in the field of Digital diplomacy, the use of Social Media in Politics, the effects of Social media on the practice of Diplomacy and the Agenda-setting effect of social media on public opinion.
Career
In December 2008, Ratson was invited to attend Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Diplomatic Academy, the principal mechanism through-which the Israeli Foreign Service recruits diplomats into service. His diplomatic training included six months of theoretical and academic studies, followed by six months of on-the-job training in various departments of the ministry.
Deputy Chief of Mission - Israeli Embassy, Côte d'Ivoire
In January 2010 Ratson was appointed Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) of the Embassy of Israel in Côte d'Ivoire, a position that ended prematurely as the country plunged into a Civil War in March 2011. In an interview he gave to the Israeli daily Ynet on the 14th of January 2011, several weeks before the Civil War broke, Ratson recounted the reality in the country: "The embassy's economic activity has reached an almost complete standstill, and our focus now is on securing the small community of Israelis that is left in the country". On 9 April 2011, two days before the arrest of Ivorian President Gbagbo, which marked the end of the civil war, Ratson and the remaining three Israeli diplomats were evacuated to Ghana by United Nations UNOCI forces in an operation commanded by Jordanian UN forces.
Director of Public Relations - Israeli Embassy, France
Following the temporary closure of the Embassy of Israel in Côte d'Ivoire, in April 2011, Ratson was appointed as Director of Public Relations of the Embassy of Israel in France, a mission which lasted until August 2015.
A farewell interview with Ratson at the end of his diplomatic term in France quoted him mentioning the Toulouse and Montauban shootings on 19 March 2012, as a pivotal moment. Reportage by Times of Israel journalist Elhanan Miller from 30 May 2013, quotes Ratson saying that the assassination of three Jewish children and a parent at Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse by the young French of Algerian origin Mohammed Merah, propelled him to focus his work on Interfaith dialogue, notably between the French Muslim community and Israel.
David Horovitz, in a Times of Israel article from 6 February 2019 sheds light on yet another significance, the August 2015 "Tel Aviv sur Seine" affair, that appears to have played a major role in shaping Ratson's diplomatic career in the years to follow. Horovitz quotes a senior diplomatic s |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive%20Humby | Clive Robert Humby (born 3 February 1955) is a British mathematician and entrepreneur in the field of data science and customer-centric business strategies. Since 2014, he has been Chief Data Scientist of the consumer insights company, Starcount.
Early life and education
Humby was born in Leicester. He attended Sheffield University from 1972 to 1975, graduating with a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science.
Career
Humby joined American data analysis specialists CACI in 1976.
He worked on a project that used data from the 1970 census to plan locations for U.S. Army recruitment offices following the abolition of the draft. He returned to CACI’s UK office in 1977 and contributed to the development of the ACORN classification system.
In 1989, Humby left CACI to become joint founder and Chief Data Officer of global consumer insights business, dunnhumby, with his wife and long-term business partner, Edwina Dunn. The company applied science and technology to customer data, to help businesses understand consumer trends and behaviours. From their relationship with Tesco, they launched the Clubcard in 1995 - the first mass customisation loyalty programme in the world. Dunnhumby has offices in 25 countries employing 1500 people.
In 2006, Humby coined the phrase “Data is the new oil”. Michael Palmer expanded on Humby's quote by saying, like oil, data is “valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. [Oil] has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so, data must be broken down and analysed for it to have value.”
Humby and Dunn sold their stake in dunnhumby to Tesco in 2011. In 2012, they set up H&D Ventures, a business and data science team exploring the possibilities of telecoms and financial services data. In 2013 they became investors in Purple Seven, a theatre and arts analytics company, to evaluate the cultural behaviour of 19 million UK consumers.
In 2014, Humby was invited to join Starcount as Chief Data Scientist and the company acquired H&D Ventures in the process. Starcount is a data and analytics consultancy focused on exploring and extracting data-based insights.
Leadership style
Humby espouses "The Power of Two" leadership principle. This teaches that the most effective way to operate is by pairing two people with complementary skills, e.g., analysts and marketers. It is a model he and Dunn instigated at dunnhumby, and which he continues to advocate to this day.
Personal life
He married Edwina Dunn in 1982. They have two children.
Philanthropy
Humby is a trustee of the Royal Academy, as well as chairman of the Friends of the Royal Academy.
Board directorships and honours
He was awarded an OBE for services to Data and UK Business in the 2019 Birthday Honours.
He is on the retail advisory board of LetterOne, an international investment business. He is also a board director of Holland & Barrett.
Humby holds honorary doctorates in engineering fro |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK%20Student%20Climate%20Network | UK Student Climate Network (UKSCN) was a student-led climate justice organisation operating in England and Wales founded by Anna Taylor, then aged 17, on 1 December 2018, along with Ivi Hohmann and Daniela Torres Perez. It disbanded in 2020, with only a few members left who acted as caretakers for the organisation’s remaining funds, before finally dissolving in 2023.
UKSCN were a group of mainly under 18s who called for strikes from school since February 2019, as part of the Youth Strike 4 Climate movement, with the ambition of getting the Government of the United Kingdom and the Welsh Government to take action on the climate crisis by fulfilling their demands. Their strikes have seen thousands of students across England and Wales, with Fridays For Future Scotland, and Youth Climate Association Northern Ireland organising youth climate strikes in Scotland, and Northern Ireland respectively, leave or not go to school on Fridays.
Demands
The network had four demands:
DEMAND 1-SAVE THE FUTURE
The Government is to declare a climate emergency and implement a Green New Deal to achieve Climate Justice.
DEMAND 2-TEACH THE FUTURE
The education system must be repurposed and reformed around the climate emergency to better teach young people about its urgency, severity, scientific basis and methods of mitigation. This demand has now evolved into the Teach the Future England campaign which is supported by the School Group Developmental working group as well as SOS-UK and various partner organisations.
DEMAND 3-TELL THE FUTURE
The Government communicate the severity of the ecological crisis and the necessity to act now to the general public.
DEMAND 4-EMPOWER THE FUTURE
Young people must be included in policy making, and no one should be excluded from participation in our democracy on the basis of age, citizenship, permanent address, incarceration or anything else. For as long as UK democracy is conducted through a representative system, everyone living in the UK over the age of 16 must have the right to vote in elections, conducted via proportional representation, so that everyone's vote is reflected in our government and is worth the same.
Structure
The organisation was divided into the regional groups of: South East, South West, Midlands, North East, North West, Wales and, from July 2019, London. UKSCN was part of the Youth Strike 4 Climate movement in England and Wales. The rest of the UK is covered by separate organisations, in Scotland by Fridays For Future Scotland, in Northern Ireland by the Youth Climate Association Northern Ireland (YCANI). YCANI previously were affiliated with UKSCN, however, split away from the group due to cultural, legal and political differences between the two groups’ respective operating countries. FFF Scotland were asked to join UKSCN soon after the founding of both organisations, however, declined for similar reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force11%20Scholarly%20Communication%20Institute | The FORCE11 Scholarly Communication Institute (FSCI, pronounced fis-key) is a week-long program first launched in 2017, which provides skill training, networking and collaboration opportunities on innovative mode of communicating research. As a global initiative by the Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship (FORCE11), FSCI brings researchers, students, administrators, funders, librarians, publishers, and other informational professionals together to build up expertise through intensive training and hands-on collaborations.
The aim of the FSCI is to teach students, faculty members, administrators, and librarians how to navigate this rapidly evolving world of scholarly, scientific, and research communication. In the words of former FORCE11 President Cameron Neylon (term 2016-2017), "the idea is that we all have as much to learn from each other, as we have to offer in terms of ideas and technology." It is modeled on the Digital Humanities Summer Institute in Victoria, BC.
History
In 2017, FSCI was hosted under partnerships between FORCE11 and the University of California at San Diego. In 2019, University of California at Los Angeles started to partner with FORCE11 to host the third annual FSCI and expected it to be a long-term collaboration. The table below listed the location and dates of the Institutes.
Scope
FSCI is structured for each attendee to choose one morning course and two afternoon courses on scholarly communication topics ranging from introductory to cutting-edge. For example:
building an open and information-rich institute
data across domains
open and reproducible research
author carpentry
peer review - emerging approaches
persistent identifiers
new forms of publications
understanding research metrics and measuring success
There are also plenary sessions, do-a-thons, slides karaoke, and other social events throughout the week.
Impact
FSCI attendees reported that they developed deeper contextualized understanding of scholarly communication issues. FSCI has been providing scholarships for attendees from 6 continents across the world. Adegbilero-Iwari Idowu from Elizade University, IIara-Mokin, Nigeria reported that the FSCI training had enabled him to be a pioneer for scholarly communication in Nigera.

Dennis Dortch and Brian Ali Harding produced a film called A Good Day to Be Black and Sexy in 2008, which was eventually purchased for distribution by Magnolia Pictures. The film had produced a cult following and Dortch wanted to transform the ethos of the film into a network. In 2011, together with Numa Perrier and Jeanine Daniels, they created the brand Black & Sexy TV and began posting content to YouTube. Their first show was The Number, a program about black sexuality and relationships. Their YouTube channel had garnered 11 million views as of May 2015. Shows that went viral on the network include The Couple (starring Numa Perrier and featuring Issa Rae), The Number, Hello Cupid (featuring Ashley Blaine Featherson and Hayley Marie Norman), and RoomieLoverFriends. Black & Sexy TV then began a pay-per-view model through YouTube for the season finales to assess viewers' levels of interest. They secured a development deal with HBO to turn The Couple into a series that Spike Lee signed on to executive produce.
In 2015, Black & Sexy TV signed a production deal with BET, who purchased the rights to broadcast Hello Cupid, RoomieLoverFriends and Sexless. That same year, Black & Sexy TV moved their digital content to a monthly paid streaming service model using the platform VHX.
In 2021, Black & Sexy TV made a deal with StarNews Mobile and mobile network operator group MTN to bring their shows to African viewers. Starting in Q1 2021, the content will be available to smartphone users in Nigeria. Subscribers will click on a link to stream episodes and will be billed weekly for access. MTN will zero-rate the data, which enables African customers to stream channels and episodes without eating into their data packages - making the service more accessible to African audiences. Dortch said his company will also experiment with new shorter formats that are more appropriate for African mobile customers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar%20SAT | In computer science, the planar 3-satisfiability problem (abbreviated PLANAR 3SAT or PL3SAT) is an extension of the classical Boolean 3-satisfiability problem to a planar incidence graph. In other words, it asks whether the variables of a given Boolean formula—whose incidence graph consisting of variables and clauses can be embedded on a plane—can be consistently replaced by the values TRUE or FALSE in such a way that the formula evaluates to TRUE. If this is the case, the formula is called satisfiable. On the other hand, if no such assignment exists, the function expressed by the formula is FALSE for all possible variable assignments and the formula is unsatisfiable. For example, the formula "a AND NOT b" is satisfiable because one can find the values a = TRUE and b = FALSE, which make (a AND NOT b) = TRUE. In contrast, "a AND NOT a" is unsatisfiable.
Like 3SAT, PLANAR-SAT is NP-complete, and is commonly used in reductions.
Definition
Every 3SAT problem can be converted to an incidence graph in the following manner: For every variable , the graph has one corresponding node , and for every clause , the graph has one corresponding node An edge is created between variable and clause whenever or is in . Positive and negative literals are distinguished using edge colorings.
The formula is satisfiable if and only if there is a way to assign TRUE or FALSE to each variable node such that every clause node is connected to at least one TRUE by a positive edge or FALSE by a negative edge.
A planar graph is a graph that can be drawn on the plane in a way such that no two of its edges cross each other. Planar 3SAT is a subset of 3SAT in which the incidence graph of the variables and clauses of a Boolean formula is planar. It is important because it is a restricted variant, and is still NP-complete. Many problems (for example games and puzzles) cannot represent non-planar graphs. Hence, Planar 3SAT provides a way to prove those problems to be NP-hard.
Proof of NP-completeness
The following proof sketch follows the proof of D. Lichtenstein.
Trivially, PLANAR 3SAT is in NP. It is thus sufficient to show that it is NP-hard via reduction from 3SAT.
This proof makes use of the fact that is equivalent to and that is equivalent to .
First, draw the incidence graph of the 3SAT formula. Since no two variables or clauses are connected, the resulting graph will be bipartite. Suppose the resulting graph is not planar. For every crossing of edges (a, c1) and (b, c2), introduce nine new variables a1, b1, α, β, γ, δ, ξ, a2, b2, and replace every crossing of edges with a crossover gadget shown in the diagram. It consists of the following new clauses:
If the edge (a, c1) is inverted in the original graph, (a1, c1) should be inverted in the crossover gadget. Similarly if the edge (b, c2) is inverted in the original, (b1, c2) should be inverted.
One can easily show that these clauses are satisfiable if and only if and .
This algorithm shows that it is |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric%20Howe | Eric James Howe CBE (born 4 October 1931) is a British former business executive who in September 1984 became his country's first Data Protection Registrar.
Biography
Provenance and early years
Eric Howe was born at Stretford in the registration area of Barton-upon-Irwell, on the western edge of Manchester, the fourth of his parents' five children. His father worked as a furrier. He attended the nearby Stretford Grammar School and worked for two years in the textile industry before moving on to Liverpool University from which in 1954 he emerged with a degree in Economics.
Coal and computers
Between 1954 and 1959 he worked initially in a team directed by the Medical Research Council examining and reporting on working conditions, above and below ground, of miners employed in the North Wales Area of the National Coal Board, Britain's nationalised coal mines operator. Following this, he worked in the same Area for the Coal Board itself leading a team installing new costing systems in collieries. After a brief period at the British Cotton Industry Research Organisation, where he advised on re-equipment proposals for textile mills, he moved on again, in 1961, to the English Electric Computer Company (EECC) which had emerged from the pioneering computer development undertaken under the auspices of the J. Lyons bakeries and catering conglomerate during the 1940s and 1950s. At EECC he became the area sales manager for North-west England.
His next move, in 1966, was to the National Computing Centre, a government-established not-for-profit membership and research organisation, based in Manchester. Here he rose through the hierarchy, serving as deputy director between 1975 and 1984. and served on its Board. The NCC was part of Harold Wilson's "White hot technological revolution" and was charged with promoting the efficient use of computing in the United Kingdom. Eric Howe joined the NCC at its inception and wrote its Corporate Plan for a House of Commons Committee investigating the computing industry, where, because of the colour of its covers, it was referred to as "The Little Red Book of Chairman Howe". On a number of occasions he supported Civil Servants at meetings on the computer industry in Brussels and was a member of the NEDO Computer Panel. He was also on the Regional Council of the CBI. He was responsible for the centre's activities in support of education and training and commercial computing. He was Chairman of the National Computer Users Forum which facilitated an exchange of views with those in government establishing computing policies. The European Commission invited him to lead in establishing a similar body for the European Union and he went on to be its UK representative.
Data protection
A need for data protection had been identified during the early 1970s in West Germany where the role of "Data Protection Registrar" had been developed, most notably, by Spiros Simitis. The British government of that time had only limited inte |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20VeggieTales%20Show | The VeggieTales Show (often marketed as simply VeggieTales) is an American Christian computer-animated television series created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki. The series served as a revival and sequel of the American Christian computer-animated franchise VeggieTales. It was produced through the partnerships of TBN, NBCUniversal, Big Idea Entertainment, and Trilogy Animation, and ran from October 22, 2019, to April 1, 2022.
Vischer, Nawrocki, and Lisa Vischer reprised their respective roles as the voices of Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, and Junior Asparagus, with Kurt Heinecke returning to compose the show's music score. They are joined by the creative team led by show-runner Todd Waterman. It was the last VeggieTales production to involve the Vischers, Nawrocki and Heinecke before their departure from the franchise in 2021, and the last VeggieTales production to feature Big Idea Entertainment as a corporate entity, before the company shut down production in 2021.
Premise
The show focuses on the VeggieTales characters putting on Broadway-style shows in Mr. Nezzer's theater that retell Bible stories and parody mainstream Pop-culture. Each episode begins with a question in the form of a letter from a kid, and then Bob and Larry respond to that question by putting on a show. Bob the Tomato attempts to use the show to accomplish his dream of becoming the next Mister Rogers. According to Vischer, "the thing that drives Bob crazy is when Mister Rogers does Mister Rogers, everything goes perfectly. Nothing ever goes wrong on ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.’ And Bob wants that for his show, but he can never achieve it.” Each show never goes the way that Bob had initially planned, resulting in complete and total chaos.
Phil Vischer says "It's really all about Bob and Larry wanting to put on a show for kids. They want to teach things to kids. Bob wants to help kids, Larry wants to help Bob."
Most of these episodes act out stories and lessons from the Bible. Among the show's episodes are a nine-episode arc about the fruit of the Spirit, and stories focusing on LarryBoy and the League of Incredible Vegetables. According to Phil Vischer, the first season consists of 18 episodes in which he would write the first ten and Nawrocki would write the last eight. The series provided VeggieTales content through 2021.
Characters
Phil Vischer stated in a radio interview that no new characters will be created for this television program. In addition to series regulars, characters from VeggieTales spin-offs have appeared, including Callie Flower from VeggieTales in the House and Awful Alvin from Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures. The VeggieTales Show brings back Mr. Nezzer, as the owner of the theater in which the show takes place, who has been absent from the previous two television shows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android%20Automotive | Android Automotive (aka Android Automotive OS or AAOS) is a variation of Google's Android operating system, tailored for its use in vehicle dashboards. Introduced in March 2017, the platform was developed by Google and Intel, together with car manufacturers such as Volvo and Audi. The project aims to provide an operating system codebase for vehicle manufacturers to develop their own version of the operating system. Besides infotainment tasks, such as messaging, navigation and music playback, the operating system aims to handle vehicle-specific functions such as controlling the air conditioning.
In contrast to Android Auto, Android Automotive is a full operating system running on the vehicle's device, not relying on a smartphone to operate. As such, it has access to a limited number of apps on the Google Play Store, with this list growing over time.
Android Automotive is an open source operating system and, as such, a car manufacturer can use it without the Google Automotive Services (GAS), which are a collection of applications and services (Google Maps, Google Play, Google Assistant, etc.) that OEMs can license and integrate into their in-vehicle infotainment systems. Volvo, Ford and GM are using AAOS with GAS (advertised as "Cars with Google built-in" by Google).
History
The operating system was first announced by Google in March 2017.
In February 2018, Polestar (Volvo's brand for electric performance cars) announced the Polestar 2, the first car with built-in Android Automotive. The Polestar 2 with Android Automotive is available since July 2020.
In September 2018, the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance announced a technology partnership to embed the Android Automotive operating system in the group's vehicles starting in 2021.
In April 2019 Google opened up the APIs for developers to start developing applications for Android Automotive.
In September 2019 General Motors announced that they will use Android Automotive to power the infotainment systems in its cars starting in 2021.
In July 2020, Stellantis (formerly Groupe PSA and FCA Group) announced they would power their infotainment systems with Android Automotive OS. This announcement was revoked in 2022.Some vehicles from the group, like the 2021 Dodge Durango and Chrysler Pacifica, are already using the Android Automotive-based Uconnect 5, without the Google Automotive Services (GAS).
In February 2021, Ford announced a partnership with Google that would bring Android Automotive to Ford and Lincoln vehicles, starting in 2023.
In May 2021, Lucid Motors revealed that the Lucid Air was using Android Automotive for its infotainment system, but without the Google Automotive Services (GAS).
In September 2021, Honda announced that it would use Google's Android Automotive OS in its cars starting in 2022.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad%20Astra%20%28play-by-mail%20game%29 | Ad Astra is a play-by-mail game that was published by Superior Simulations. It was a computer moderated, turn-based space fantasy game designed by John M. Ess.
Gameplay
Ad Astra was a computer-moderated science fiction play-by-mail game, with a fixed deadline and a strategic focus.
New players received a 30-page rulebook which, in 1987, cost $2. Players operated on a hex grid of 225 stars, manipulating various elements of gameplay to include various types of starships, ground defense units, and starbases. Conquest and expansion as well as diplomacy among players played key roles in Ad Astra. Players also had to manage the costs of new elements of gameplay, as overspending affected remaining points at the end of the game, with the player with the highest number of points being victorious.
Reception
Ad Astra was reviewed in The February–March 1987 issue of Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer. The reviewer commented, "For those people who like this type of game, I don't think that there is a better one of its type on the PBM market today. It is a well-oiled machine. But then so is a fork lift. I can respect the efficient design of a fort lift, but I sure can't get excited about one. So, if you are the type of player who revels in objective and detached exercised of logic, look no farther. Ad Astra is well worth your money and time." Jim Townsend gave Ad Astra a positive review in the May–June 1987 issue of Paper Mayhem, stating, "I highly recommend Ad Astra to anyone who likes good, active space games at a very reasonable price", while also noting that "the service is some of the best in the industry".
In the September–October 1992 issue of Paper Mayhem magazine, Ad Astra was ranked No. 68 of 84 play-by-mail games by its readers.

The road signs follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals of 1968, and the former Yugoslav standard road signs, used by the successor states of SFR Yugoslavia. Inscriptions are in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The SNV typeface is used on Serbian road signs as well as in other former Yugoslav states and neighboring Bulgaria and Romania. They are also used in Kosovo, although some of these signs were superseded by the Albanian road sign system, itself a copy of the Italian road sign system. In Montenegro, these road signs are only written in the Latin script since it became an independent state in 2006.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiDB | TiDB (/’taɪdiːbi:/, "Ti" stands for Titanium) is an open-source NewSQL database that supports Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) workloads. It is MySQL compatible and can provide horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and high availability. It is developed and supported primarily by PingCAP and licensed under Apache 2.0. TiDB drew its initial design inspiration from Google's Spanner and F1 papers.

On April 7, 2021 TiDB 5.0 GA was released.
On May 28, 2020, TiDB 4.0 GA was released. Its key features include: TiFlash, TiDB Dashboard (experimental), TiUP, pessimistic transactions, cascading placement rules (experimental), elastic scheduling (experimental), large transactions, new SQL features, case-insensitive and accent-insensitive `utf8mb4_general_ci` and `utf8_general_ci` collations, improved encrypted communication, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), Backup & Restore, Coprocessor Cache (experimental), Follower Read, and TiCDC (experimental).
On June 28, 2019, TiDB 3.0 GA was released.
On April 27, 2018, TiDB 2.0 GA was released.
On October 16, 2017, TiDB 1.0 GA was released.
Main features
Horizontal scalability
TiDB can expand both SQL processing and storage capacity by adding new nodes. This makes infrastructure capacity scaling easier and more flexible compared to traditional relational databases which only scale vertically.
MySQL compatibility
TiDB acts like it is a MySQL 5.7 server to applications. A user can continue to use all of the existing MySQL client libraries. Because TiDB's SQL processing layer is built from scratch, not a MySQL fork, its compatibility is not 100%, and there are known behavior differences between MySQL and TiDB.
Distributed transactions with strong consistency
TiDB internally shards a table into small range-based chunks that are referred to as "Regions". Each Region defaults to approximately 100 MB in size, and TiDB uses a two-phase commit internally to ensure that regions are maintained in a transactionally consistent way.
Cloud native
TiDB is designed to work in the cloud to make deployment, provisioning, operations, and maintenance flexible. The storage layer of TiDB, called TiKV, became a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) member project in August 2018, as a Sandbox level project, and became an incubation-level hosted project in May 2019. TiKV graduated from CNCF in September 2020. The architecture of the TiDB platform also allows SQL processing and storage to be scaled independently of each other.
Real-time HTAP
TiDB can support both online transaction processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) workloads. TiDB has two storage engines: TiKV, a rowstore, and TiFlash, a columnstore. Data can be replicated from TiKV to TiFlash in real time to ensure that TiFlash processes the latest data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological%20polymers | Topological polymers may refer to a polymeric molecule that possesses unique spatial features, such as linear, branched, or cyclic architectures. It could also refer to polymer networks that exhibit distinct topologies owing to special crosslinkers. When self-assembling or crosslinking in a certain way, polymeric species with simple topological identity could also demonstrate complicated topological structures in a larger spatial scale. Topological structures, along with the chemical composition, determine the macroscopic physical properties of polymeric materials.
Definition
Topological polymers, or polymer topology, could refer to a single polymeric chain with topological information or a polymer network with special junctions or connections. When the topology of a polymeric chain or network is investigated, the exact chemical composition is usually neglected, but the way of junctions and connections is more considered. Various topological structures, on one hand, could potentially change the interactions (van der Waals interaction, hydrogen bonding, etc.) between each of the polymer chain. On the other hand, topology also determines the hierarchical structures within a polymer network, from a microscopic level (<1 nm) to a macroscopic level (10-100 nm), which eventually affords polymeric materials with completely different physical properties, such as mechanical property, glass transition temperature, gelation concentration.
Topological polymer classification
In early 1950s, Paul J. Flory was the pioneer who developed theories to explain topology within a polymer network, and the structure-property relationships between the topology and the mechanical property, like elasticity, was initially established afterwards. Later in 1980s, Bertrand Duplantier developed theories to describe any polymer network topologies using statistical mechanics, which could help to derive topology-dependent critical exponents in a polymer network. In early 2000s, Yasuyuki Tezuka and coworkers were the first ones that systematically described a single molecular chain with topological information.
Adapted from Y. Tezuka and coworker's description of a topological polymer chain with more generalized rules, the topology notation rules are to be introduced first, followed by three classical classifications, including linear, branched and cyclic polymer topologies, and they are classified in a table reorganized and redrawn from Y. Tezuka and coworker (Copyright, 2001 by American Chemical Society).
A general polymer chain could be generalized into an undirected graph with nodes (vertices or points) and edges (lines or links) based on graph theory. In a graph theory topology, two sets of nodes are present, termini and junctions. The quantity ‘degree’ represents the number of edges linked to each node, if the degree of a certain node is larger than 3 (including 3), the node is a junction, while the degree of a node is 1, the node is a terminus. There are no nodes with |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial%20intelligence%20art | Artificial intelligence art is any visual artwork created through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programs.
Artists began to create AI art in the mid to late-20th century, when the discipline was founded. In the early 21st century, the availability of AI art tools to the general public increased, providing opportunities for use outside of academia and professional artists. Throughout its history, artificial intelligence art has raised many philosophical concerns, including those related to copyright, deception, and its impact on traditional artists, including their incomes.
History
Early history
The concept of automated art dates back at least to the automata of ancient Greek civilization, where inventors such as Daedalus and Hero of Alexandria were described as having designed machines capable of writing text, generating sounds, and playing music. The tradition of creative automatons has flourished throughout history, such as Maillardet's automaton, created in the early 1800s.
The academic discipline of artificial intelligence was founded at a research workshop at Dartmouth College in 1956, and has experienced several waves of advancement and optimism in the decades since. Since its founding, researchers in the field have raised philosophical and ethical arguments about the nature of the human mind and the consequences of creating artificial beings with human-like intelligence; these issues have previously been explored by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.
1950s to 2000s
Since the founding of AI in the 1950s, artists and researchers have used artificial intelligence to create artistic works. These works were sometimes referred to as algorithmic art, computer art, digital art or new media.
One of the first significant AI art systems is AARON, developed by Harold Cohen beginning in the late 1960s at the University of California at San Diego. AARON is the most notable example of AI art in the era of GOFAI programming because of its use of a symbolic rule-based approach to generate technical images. Cohen developed AARON with the goal of being able to code the act of drawing. In its primitive form, AARON created simple black and white drawings. Cohen would later finish the drawings by painting them. Throughout the years, he also began to develop a way for AARON to also paint. Cohen designed AARON to paint using special brushes and dyes that were chosen by the program itself without mediation from Cohen. AARON was exhibited in 1972 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
In both 1991 and 1992, Karl Sims won the Golden Nica award at Prix Ars Electronica for his 3D AI animated videos using artificial evolution.
In 2009, Eric Millikin won the Pulitzer Prize along with several other awards for his artificial intelligence art that was critical of government corruption in Detroit and resulted in the city's mayor being sent to jail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte%20Sieve | The Byte Sieve is a computer-based implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes published by Byte as a programming language performance benchmark. It first appeared in the September 1981 edition of the magazine and was revisited on occasion. Although intended to compare the performance of different languages on the same computers, it quickly became a widely used machine benchmark.
The Sieve was one of the more popular benchmarks of the home computer era, another being the Creative Computing Benchmark of 1983, and the Rugg/Feldman benchmarks, mostly seen in the UK in this era. Byte later published the more thorough NBench in 1995 to replace it.
History
Origins
Jim Gilbreath of the Naval Ocean System Center had been considering the concept of writing a small language benchmarking program for some time, desiring one that would be portable across languages, small enough that the program code would fit on a single printed page, and did not rely on specific features like hardware multiplication or division. The solution was inspired by a meeting with Chuck Forsberg at the January 1980 USENIX meeting in Boulder, CO, where Forsberg mentioned an implementation of the sieve written by Donald Knuth.
Gilbreath felt the sieve would be an ideal benchmark as it avoided indirect tests on arithmetic performance, which varied widely between systems. The algorithm mostly stresses array lookup performance and basic logic and branching capabilities. Nor does it require any advanced language features like recursion or advanced collection types. The only modification from Knuth’s original version was to remove a multiplication by two and replace it with an addition instead. Machines with hardware multipliers would otherwise run so much faster that the rest of the performance would be hidden.
After six months of effort porting it to as many platforms as he had access to, the first results were introduced in the September 1981 edition of Byte in an article entitled "A High-Level Language Benchmark". Gilbreath was quick to point out that:
The article provided reference implementations in ten languages, including more popular selections like BASIC, C, Pascal, COBOL, and FORTRAN, and some less well-known examples like Forth, ZSPL, Ratfor, PL/1 and PLMX.
Example runs were provided for a variety of machines, mostly Zilog Z80 or MOS 6502-based. The best time was initially 16.5 seconds, turned in by Ratfor on a 4 MHz Z80 machine, but Gary Kildall personally provided a version in Digital Research's prototype version of PL/1 that ran in 14 seconds and set the mark for this first collection. The slowest was Microsoft COBOL on the same machine, which took a whopping 5115 seconds (almost one and a half hours), longer even than interpreted languages like BASIC. A notable feature of this first run was that C, Pascal and PL/1 all turned in a roughly similar performance that easily beat the various interpreters.
A second set of tests was carried out on more powerful machines, wit |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krystal%20Tsosie | Dr. Krystal Tsosie (Diné) is a Navajo geneticist and bioethicist at Arizona State University and activist for Indigenous data sovereignty. She is also an educator and an expert on genetic and social identities. Her advocacy and academic work in ameliorating disparities in genetics through community-based participatory research has been covered by various national news sources, including The New York Times, Nova, The Washington Post, NPR, The Atlantic, Forbes, and The Boston Globe.
Early life and education
Tsosie's family had been forcibly displaced economically and geographically from their home communities, so she grew up "non-res" in West Phoenix as the only native kid in her school. Her mother comes from Shonto, Arizona and her father comes from the Loop area in Central Arizona. Tsosie's father worked in the Phoenix Indian Medical Center, the largest Indian health service clinic in the US.
Tsosie attended Arizona State University (ASU) where she received a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology, a Master's in Bioethics, and a Master's in Public Health Epidemiology. She began her work in cancer biology, and she developed and patented a combined targeted ultrasound imaging and chemotherapeutic drug delivery device for treating early metastases in cancer. However, realizing that her tribal community had difficulty accessing specialty services, she decided to change her focus to genomics and health disparities to better impact her community. While studying bioethics, Tsosie experienced the aftereffects of the Havasupai Tribe v. the Arizona Board of Regents lawsuit.
Tsosie completed her PhD in Genomics and Health Disparities at Vanderbilt University in 2022 and then worked as a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at ASU before joining their faculty.
Career and research
Tsosie co-leads a study that investigates genetic determinants of pre-eclampsia, specifically in pregnant Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa women and collaborates with the tribal-research review board. Tsosie's team hopes that examining potential environmental and sociocultural factors will help these specific Native women in decreasing such high rates specific to their tribe. She has also focused on researching uterine fibroids in black women using genetic information.
Tsosie "advocates strongly for genomic and data sovereignty." as stated by the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. Indigenous data sovereignty is the right of nations to govern the collection, ownership, and application of their own data, in contrast to the ways in which researchers take and use Indigenous data without permission and disregarding that Nation's traditions. Tsosie's work as an advocate for Indigenous data sovereignty has included aiding a Tribal nation in the creation of their own policies for data privacy, bio-banking, and building research space for protecting the tribe's interests.
In 2018, Tsosie co-founded the Native BioData Consortium, the first US Indigenous-led biobank. She work |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Pair | Re-Pair (short for recursive pairing) is a grammar-based compression algorithm that, given an input text, builds a straight-line program, i.e. a context-free grammar generating a single string: the input text. In order to perform the compression in linear time, it consumes the amount of memory that is approximately five times the size of its input.
The grammar is built by recursively replacing the most frequent pair of characters occurring in the text.
Once there is no pair of characters occurring twice, the resulting string is used as the axiom of the grammar.
Therefore, the output grammar is such that all rules but the axiom have two symbols on the right-hand side.
How it works
Re-Pair was first introduced by NJ. Larsson and A. Moffat in 1999.
In their paper the algorithm is presented together with a detailed description of the data structures required to implement it with linear time and space complexity.
The experiments showed that Re-Pair achieves high compression ratios and offers good performance for decompression.
However, the major drawback of the algorithm is its memory consumption, which is approximately 5 times the size of the input. Such memory usage is required in order to perform the compression in linear time but makes the algorithm impractical for compressing large files.
The image on the right shows how the algorithm works compresses the string .
During the first iteration, the pair , which occurs three times in , is replaced by a new symbol .
On the second iteration, the most frequent pair in the string , which is , is replaced by a new symbol .
Thus, at the end of the second iteration, the remaining string is .
In the next two iterations, the pairs and are replaced by symbols and respectively.
Finally, the string contains no repeated pair and therefore it is used as the axiom of the output grammar.
Data structures
In order to achieve linear time complexity, Re-Pair requires the following data structures
A sequence representing the input string. Position of the sequence contains the i-th symbol of the input string plus two references to other positions in the sequence. These references point to the next/previous positions, say and , such that the same substring begins at , and and all three occurrences are captured by the same reference (i.e. there is a variable in the grammar generating the string).
A priority queue. Each element of the queue is a pair of symbols (terminals or previously defined pairs) that occur consecutively in the sequence. The priority of a pair is given by the number of occurrences of the pair in the remaining sequence. Each time a new pair is created, the priority queue is updated.
A hash table to keep track of already defined pairs. This table is updated each time a new pair is created or removed.
Since the hash table and the priority queue refer to the same elements (pairs), they can be implemented by a common data structure called PAIR with pointers for the hash table (h_next) a |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart%20East | Heart East is a regional radio station owned and operated by Global as part of the Heart network. It broadcasts to the East of England from studios in Milton Keynes.
The station launched on 3 June 2019, following a merger of four Heart stations in Cambridgeshire, East Anglia, Essex and the Four Counties.
History
Under relaxed OFCOM requirements for local content on commercial radio, Heart East is permitted to share all programmes between ten licences located in the ITV Anglia broadcast region.
Previously, these licences broadcast separate stations:
The first Independent Local Radio station to launch in the region was Radio Orwell in October 1975, broadcasting from Ipswich and serving Suffolk and north Essex. Orwell's owners, Suffolk Group Radio, went onto launch a separate station for west Suffolk, Saxon Radio, from Bury St Edmonds in November 1982. The two Suffolk stations were merged in 1992 to form SGR FM.
Hereward Radio began broadcasting from Peterborough in July 1980, serving Cambridgeshire, south Lincolnshire and west Norfolk. From October 1984, Hereward began serving Northamptonshire, but due to financial difficulties, the station withdrew from the county and the IBA readvertised the licence separately.
Essex Radio began broadcasting in September 1981, initially from Southend-on-Sea before moving to Chelmsford in 2004.
97.6 Chiltern FM began broadcasting from Dunstable in October 1981, serving north west and central Hertfordshire, south Bedfordshire and east Buckinghamshire.
96.9 Chiltern FM began broadcasting from Bedford in June 1982, serving north Bedfordshire, north Hertfordshire and west Cambridgeshire.
Radio Broadland began broadcasting from Norwich in October 1984, serving Norfolk and north Suffolk.
Northants 96 began broadcasting from Northampton in November 1986, serving Northamptonshire.
Q103 began broadcasting from Cambridge in February 1989, covering the Cambridge, Newmarket and Haverhill areas.
Horizon Radio began broadcasting from Milton Keynes in October 1989, serving north Buckinghamshire.
Ten-17 began broadcasting from Harlow in May 1993, serving east Hertfordshire and west Essex. Initially reliant on Essex FM for most of its output, it later expanded into a self-sustaining service. It was briefly known as Mercury 101.7 before reverting to Ten-17, after being brought by GWR.
SGR Colchester began broadcasting from Colchester in October 1993, providing a split opt-out service for the area from its sister station in Suffolk.
By the early 1990s, these stations fell into the ownership of four regional radio groups, namely Chiltern Radio Network, the Essex FM Group, East Anglian Radio and Mid-Anglia Radio. Eventually, all four of these groups were brought by the GWR Group (later GCap Media), which was taken over by Global in 2008.
In 2009, nine of the stations were rebranded as part of the rollout of the Heart network across 29 local radio stations owned by Global. Hereward FM, Northants 96, Q103, Radio Broadla |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart%20South | Heart South is a regional radio station owned and operated by Global as part of the Heart network. It broadcasts to the south and south east of England from studios in Fareham, Hampshire.
The station launched on 3 June 2019 as a result of a merger between four sister stations in Hampshire and Dorset, Kent, Sussex and Surrey and Thames Valley.
History
Under relaxed OFCOM requirements for local content on commercial radio, Heart South is permitted to share all programmes between seven licences located in the ITV Meridian broadcast region.
Previously, these licences broadcast as separate stations:
Radio 210 began broadcasting from Reading in March 1976, serving Berkshire and north Hampshire.
2CR - Two Counties Radio began broadcasting from Bournemouth in September 1980, serving east Dorset and west Hampshire.
Southern Sound began broadcasting from Portslade, near Brighton, in August 1983, serving East Sussex and parts of West Sussex.
Invicta Radio began broadcasting to Kent in October 1984, initially from studios in Canterbury and Maidstone, before moving to Whitstable in 1991. Over the years, the station provided opt-out programming for the East and West of the county - at one point, extending to separate breakfast shows for Ashford and Thanet.
Radio Mercury began broadcasting from Crawley in October 1984, serving east Surrey and north Sussex.
Ocean Sound began broadcasting to south Hampshire, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight in October 1986, after taking over the licence previously held by Radio Victory. Initially providing separate programming for the East and West of the area, it also ran a split service for the Winchester area called The Light FM.
Fox FM began broadcasting to Oxfordshire in September 1989.
Ocean Sound's West service was split off into Power FM in December 1988 - with the parent service, later known was Ocean FM continuing for the East and North areas.
In 1992, Ocean merged with Southern Sound (latterly Southern FM) to form the Southern Radio Group with the two stations largely sharing output. The company went onto purchase Invicta Radio in 1992, before being brought by Capital Radio plc in 1994.
By 2005, all seven stations entered common ownership when GWR Group merged with Capital to form GCap Media, which in turn was taken over by Global in 2008.
In 2009, six of the stations were rebranded as part of a rollout of the Heart network across 29 local radio stations owned by Global. Fox FM and 2-Ten FM relaunched in March, followed by 2CR, Invicta, Ocean FM, Southern FM. By this point, local programming had been reduced to ten hours on weekdays and four hours at weekends.
During the summer of 2010, Global merged six of the stations into three - with Mercury FM joining the Heart network as a result:
Heart Solent - formed from the Dorset and Hampshire stations, broadcasting from Fareham
Heart Sussex and Surrey - formed from Mercury FM and Heart's Sussex station, broadcasting from Portslade

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart%20West | Heart West is a regional radio station owned and operated by Global as part of the Heart network. It broadcasts in South West England, South Wales, Herefordshire, Malvern and Malvern Hills from studios in Bristol.
The station launched on 3 June 2019, following a merger of four Heart stations in Bristol and Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
History
Under relaxed OFCOM requirements for local content on commercial radio, Heart West is permitted to share all programmes between nine licences located in the ITV West Country broadcast region (formerly consisting of separate areas for the West and the South West of England).
Previously, these licences broadcast as separate stations:
The first Independent Local Radio station to launch in the region was Plymouth Sound, which began broadcasting in May 1975 to the city and its surrounding areas.
Severn Sound began broadcasting to Gloucestershire in October 1980.
Radio West began broadcasting to Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and surrounding areas in October 1981.
Wiltshire Radio began broadcasting from Wootton Bassett in October 1982, serving Wiltshire.
Orchard FM began broadcasting from Taunton in November 1989, serving Somerset.
Lantern FM began broadcasting to North Devon in October 1992, initially from studios in Bideford before moving to Barnstaple in 2000.
Gemini FM began broadcasting in January 1995, after taking over the licence for East Devon previously held by DevonAir. The twin station carried separate programming for the Exeter and Torbay areas.
South Hams Radio began broadcasting in December 1999, serving South Devon.
Atlantic FM began broadcasting from St Agnes in July 2006, serving Cornwall.
In 1985, after suffering heavy financial losses since its launch, Radio West was approached by the successful Wiltshire Radio for a merger - the first of its kind in commercial radio in the UK. This was approved by the IBA (Independent Broadcasting Authority) and the two stations combined to form GWR in October 1985.
GWR continued to provide separate programming for the Bristol and Swindon areas, and in May 1987, a third opt-out service for Bath was launched. The station's owners, GWR Group plc, went onto become one of the major commercial radio operators in the UK.
Orchard FM in Somerset expanded its operations with Gemini FM winning the East Devon ILR licence from DevonAir and the acquisition of Lantern FM in North Devon.
The Orchard Radio Group was itself brought by GWR in 1999, but in November 2005, these stations - along with Plymouth Sound - were put up for sale by GCap Media as they were considered outside of the company's primary target area. In the event, the sale did not go ahead as all of the bids made fell short of expectations. In 2008, the group was taken over by Global, which eventually took ownership of South Hams Radio as a joint venture with the UKRD Group.
In March 2009, Global rebranded Gemini, Lantern FM, Orchard FM, Plymouth Sound, South Hams Radio |

The tournament is played in likeness of popular Twenty20 cricket tournaments such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Caribbean Premier League (CPL). However, the T10 format involves each team playing an innings consisting of a maximum of 10 overs with individual bowlers allowed a maximum of two overs per innings.
The tournament is open to primarily amateur, community based players, with each team being allowed a semi-professional mentor player. The major role of the mentor player is to provide guidance based on their experience playing at a higher level. This player is limited to batting only 3 overs per game.
Although the T10 format has not gained official accreditation by the International Cricket Council (ICC),the T10 format has spread to other cricketing territories and currently represents the shortest form of the game of cricket.
The inaugural 2014 tournament consisted of 16 teams competing in four groups of four, with the top team from each group going on to contest the semi-finals.
Charlieville SameSide went down in the history books as the first ever T10 champions by capturing the 2014 T10 CCL title.
In 2015, Romel Nanan of the Cane Farm Cougars became the first player to score a century in the tournament.
Champions of the T10 CCL include Charlieville SameSide (2014), ValleyLine Smashers (2015) and Mayaro Mavericks (2016 and 2017).
