https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20signal%20processing
Quantum Signal Processing is a Hamiltonian simulation algorithm with optimal lower bounds in query complexity. It linearizes the operator of a quantum walk using eigenvalue transformation. The quantum walk takes a constant number of queries. So quantum signal processing's cost depends on the constant number of calls to the quantum walk operator, number of single qubit quantum gates that aid in the eigenvalue transformation and an ancilla qubit. Eigenvalue transformation Given a unitary , calculate . For example, if , . Algorithm Input: Given a Hamiltonian , define a quantum walk operator using 2 d-sparse oracles and . accepts inputs and ( is the row of the Hamiltonian and is the column) and outputs , so querying . accepts inputs and and computes the non-zero element in the row of . Output: Create an input state Define a controlled-gate, Repeatedly apply single qubit gates to the ancilla followed applications of to the register that contains times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact%20box
A fact box is a simplified display format that presents evidence based data about the benefits and harms of medical treatments, screenings or interventions. The format has been shown to improve people’s understanding of health-related risk information. Benefits and harms are displayed in absolute numbers in a table, which allows the user to compare outcomes for people who received a particular treatment or intervention with outcomes for people who did not receive this treatment (or who received a placebo, e.g., a sugar pill). Fact boxes do not use statistics that might be misleading to the reader, such as relative risks, mismatched framing and five-year survival rates for screening. In addition, an explanation of medical terms and procedures is provided. Fact boxes can be used for discussing treatment alternatives with a physician. Moreover, additional information sources can be provided by using digital media to visually present the information contained in fact boxes. Fact box: Main features There are several key features of a fact box. First, a summary statement describes the benefits and harms of a medical treatment without giving an explicit recommendation about which option is optimal for the reader. To avoid any ambiguities in interpreting the content, explicit and exhaustive information about the target population (e.g. gender, age range), date or time span of data collection and all additional information that may have an influence on the understanding of the reported facts are presented. To inform the user about the most important benefits and harms, these are stated explicitly, preferably as a list of statements or questions. Moreover, a fact box presents comparisons of outcomes, usually between treatment and control groups, which are based on research results (preferably meta-analyses or systematic reviews, or randomized controlled trials). To promote a good understanding of the results, an effect measure for each group should be provided in terms of frequencies, i.e. absolute numbers out of a given sample size of, e.g., 100 or 1000 cases. To report the current state of scientific evidence, for continuous measurements common descriptive statistics like mean, mean difference or median should be presented; in case of unquantifiable outcomes the evidence can be described in a statement. Finally, sources for all information have to be listed and a date when the material was assembled or updated needs to be provided. Fact box: Use and implementation Based on an early format known as the balance sheet, this simple tabular format has been adopted by different health organizations, e.g. National Health and Medical Research Council, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Cochrane, to evaluate and communicate the results of health interventions. In the current format, fact boxes have been developed for use with lay audiences to communicate about prescription medications (e.g., the drugs facts box) and cancer screenings. Fact boxes are di

"Slashdance" is the third episode of the ninth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 2, 2019, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by James Wong, and directed by Mary Wigmore. Plot The episode picks up immediately where the previous one left off, as serial killer Richard Ramirez corners Brooke, Chet, Rita, and Ray in the nurse's cabin. Ray abandons the group, only to be attacked and is rescued by Chet, while Brooke and Rita manage to escape to the parking lot; however, Rita knocks Brooke unconscious by drugging her and Rita is revealed to be a fraud. She is really Donna Chambers, a young psychologist obsessed with studying serial killers, such as Richter and Ramirez. In a flashback, Donna was able to persuade Dr. Hopple to let her study Richter, and is revealed to have assisted him in his escape from Red Meadows. Donna then abducted the real Rita, a nurse employed by Margaret, stealing her identity in order to observe Richter's potential murder spree at the camp. In the present, Montana, Xavier, and Trevor are attacked by a group of unseen assailants, revealed to be devotees of Richter. The real Richter proceeds to murder the devotees, while the counselors escape. Richter spares one of the devotees, nicknamed Wide Load, when he is able to sympathize with him. Ramirez pursues Ray and Chet through the forest, causing them to fall into a pit filled with spikes, leaving Chet seriously injured. A guilty Ray confesses to playing a role in the death of a fraternity pledge when he believes Chet is dead, having joined the others at Camp Redwood to escape conviction; Chet is revealed to have survived the fall, having heard Ray's confession. Montana, Xavier, and Trevor take refuge in a nearby shed, only to discover the real Rita. They free her and she attempts to escape, but is promptly murdered by Richter. Ray manages to climb out of the pit and abandons Chet to his own devices, before running into Montana, Xavier, and Trevor. Trevor gives Ray the keys to his motorcycle, sending him and Montana to call for help at a nearby phone booth. Xavier and Trevor discover Chet in the pit and pull him out, before accidentally killing Wide Load. Ramirez appears and ambushes Ray and Montana, and Ray abandons Montana. Ray is subsequently decapitated by Richter in his attempt to escape. Montana momentarily struggles with Ramirez, only for the pair to share a kiss. Montana wonders aloud to Ramirez why he has not killed "her" yet, leaving the episode on a cliffhanger. Reception "Slashdance" was watched by 1.34 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode has been critically acclaimed.

"Mr. Jingles" is the second episode of the ninth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on September 25, 2019, on the cable network FX. The episode was written by Tim Minear and directed by John J. Gray. Plot Dr. Karen Hopple drives to Camp Redwood to meet with Margaret and explain Benjamin Richter's escape. Margaret does not seem surprised to hear about it, and insists the camp will re-open on schedule. Hopple suffers a blown tire on her return, and a tow truck intercepts her. Initially unaware that Richter is driving, she asks for a tire repair. He drags her out of her vehicle and stabs her in the neck before taking her ear as a souvenir. Brooke, still shaken from her phone call, hears on the news about a murder at a Red Meadows gas station. Believing it is the attendant they met before, Brooke freaks out, while the other counselors think she is overreacting. Margaret enters and reminds the counselors to go to sleep early, and not to fraternize between genders after dark. She makes a point of reminding the boys to clean away impure thoughts. Montana consoles Brooke, but says that she can not assume that everyone is out to get her. She describes an early experience when she was sent to fat camp and that she should not imagine the worst. Brooke later confesses that the previous summer, she was going to get married. Her groom Joey Cavanaugh of what she interpreted his jealousy as a sign of how much he loved her. At the altar he exclaimed that he saw his best friend, Sam, enter Brooke's home the night before and did not leave until the morning. They both insist nothing sexual happened, but Joey grabs a gun, killing Sam and Brooke's father, and then himself. Brooke insists that Sam was being kind and that they were simply friends, and is upset that no one ever believes her. Montana says that she believes her, and leans in to kiss Brooke. Brooke recoils and says that she needs air, walking away. Trevor describes to the boys his experience with Montana, as they walk towards the showers. Xavier leaves to get his towel and is grabbed and pulled into the back of a car, where his cousin and former agent Blake confronts him. Blake, who found him via his forwarding address, had previously coaxed Xavier into acting in gay porn in exchange for getting him off the streets and off drugs. Blake is now using the porn video to blackmail him into acting in more pornos. Xavier insisting that he’s not gay, offers to find a replacement and leads him to Trevor in the shower, who is talking with Ray and Chet. Xavier leaves while Blake observes via a peephole, only to be impaled through the head by Richter. Brooke sits on the pier and finds a dead body floating towards her feet, and turns screaming to find Richard Ramirez. She strikes him with an oar and runs. He is intercepted by the hiker, whom he disembowels. Later, the hiker returns alive, only to be killed again. Ramirez takes his name tag, which shows he was a counselor in 19

The iPad 10.2-inch (officially iPad (7th generation)) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It features a 10.2-inch Retina display and is powered by the Apple A10 Fusion processor. It is the successor to the 9.7-inch 6th-generation iPad. The device was revealed on September 10, 2019, and released on September 25, 2019. It has support for the first generation Apple Pencil and has a smart keyboard connector. It is targeted towards the budget and educational markets. Unlike previous iPad models, which have a 9.7-inch display, the device is the first in the entry-level iPad lineup to feature a larger 10.2-inch display size. Its successor, the eighth-generation iPad, was revealed on September 15, 2020, replacing this iPad. History Rumors centering around a successor to the 2018 iPad began to surface in the first half of 2019, when seven iPad models were registered on the Eurasian Economic Commission, a database known for providing hints about upcoming devices to be released by Apple. One of the models was believed to be a new entry-level iPad, which would allegedly have minor design upgrades as compared to the 2018 iPad. Several sources have claimed that the new model would feature a dual-lens rear camera and that its screen size may measure 10.2 inches, up from the 9.7-inch screen size of previous iPad models. Reports from BGR also claimed that the device could begin its mass production in July 2019, with a predicted release date of around the third quarter of that year. This iPad was then revealed by Apple on September 10, 2019, the same time as the iPhone 11,11 Pro And iPhone 11 Pro Max at the Steve Jobs Theater with a scheduled release date of September 30 of that year. It was announced to retail at a starting price of $329 in the United States. The iPad was released on the online Apple Store on September 25, 2019. Significantly, the body dimensions of the 2019 10.2" iPad have been enlarged to match that of the iPad Air (3rd Generation) and the previous generation 10.5" iPad Pro, allowing the Smart Keyboard to be used for all three models. In addition to eliminating recharging and Bluetooth pairing, the direct connection satisfies the education market's requirement for direct connection only during standardized tests. All iPads also retain backwards compatibility with third-party accessory Bluetooth keyboards. Reception The 2019 10.2-inch iPad was criticized for the a lack of a processor upgrade over the previous year's 9.7-inch model. However, while the A10 processor itself has not been upgraded to a later processor, the system-on-chip housing the A10 chip in the 2019 10.2-inch iPad has been upgraded to include 3 GB of RAM, 50% more than the previous year's model. Battery life has also been praised for the A10 series. Timeline of models Notes References 9 IOS Tablet computers Touchscreen portable media players Tablet computers introduced in 2019
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charming%20Kitten
Charming Kitten (other aliases include APT35 (by Mandiant), Phosphorus (by Microsoft), Ajax Security (by FireEye), NewsBeef (by Kaspersky,)) is an Iranian government cyberwarfare group, described by several companies and government officials as an advanced persistent threat. On December 15, 2017, the group was designated by FireEye as a nation state-based advanced persistent threat, regardless of the lack of its sophistication. Research conducted by FireEye in 2018 suggested that APT35 may be expanding their malware capabilities and intrusion campaigns. The group has since been known to use phishing to impersonate company websites, as well as fake accounts and fake DNS domains to phish users' passwords. History Witt Defection (Early 2013) In 2013, former United States Air Force technical sergeant and military intelligence defense contractor Monica Witt defected to Iran knowing she might incur criminal charges by the United States for doing so. Her giving of intelligence to the government of Iran later caused Operation Saffron Rose, a cyberwarfare operation that targeted US military contractors. HBO cyberattack (2017) In 2017, following a cyberattack on HBO, a large-scale joint investigation was launched on the grounds that confidential information was being leaked. A conditional statement by a hacker going by alias Sokoote Vahshat (Persian lit. 'Silence of Fear') said that if money was not paid, scripts of television episodes, including episodes of Game of Thrones, would be leaked. The hack caused a leak of 1.5 terabytes of data, some of which was shows and episodes that had not been broadcast at the time. HBO has since stated that it would take steps to make sure that they would not be breached again. Behzad Mesri was subsequently indicted for the hack. He has since been alleged to be part of the operation unit that had leaked confidential information. According to Certfa, Charming Kitten had targeted US officials involved with the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal. The Iranian government denied any involvement. Second Indictment (2019) A federal grand jury in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia indicted Witt on espionage charges (specifically "conspiracy to deliver and delivering national defense information to representatives of the Iranian government"). The indictment was unsealed on February 19, 2019. In the same indictment, four Iranian nationals—Mojtaba Masoumpour, Behzad Mesri, Hossein Parvar and Mohamad Paryar—were charged with conspiracy, attempting to commit computer intrusion, and aggravated identity theft, for a campaign in 2014 and 2015 that sought to compromise the data of Witt's former co-workers. In March 2019, Microsoft took ownership of 99 DNS domains owned by the Iranian government-sponsored hackers, in a move intended to decrease the risk of spear-phishing and other cyberattacks. 2020 Election interference attempts (2019) According to Microsoft, in a 30-day period between August and September 2019,

Since 1988, he has been engaged in pioneering research in the field of computer analysis of medical images, image-guided therapy and surgical simulation. A central focus of his work has been the introduction of geometric, statistical, physical or functional models of the human body for the analysis and simulation of medical images. His current research focuses on the introduction of artificial intelligence algorithms to guide the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of patients based on medical images and all available patient data (clinical, biological, behavioural, etc.). The research work of Ayache and his collaborators has made a decisive contribution to the development of digital medicine worldwide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum%20information%20standard
Minimum information standards are sets of guidelines and formats for reporting data derived by specific high-throughput methods. Their purpose is to ensure the data generated by these methods can be easily verified, analysed and interpreted by the wider scientific community. Ultimately, they facilitate the transfer of data from journal articles (unstructured data) into databases (structured data) in a form that enables data to be mined across multiple data sets. Minimal information standards are available for a vast variety of experiment types including microarray (MIAME), RNAseq (MINSEQE), metabolomics (MSI) and proteomics (MIAPE). Minimum information standards typically have two parts. Firstly, there is a set of reporting requirements – typically presented as a table or a checklist. Secondly, there is a data format. Information about an experiment needs to be converted into the appropriate data format for it to be submitted to the relevant database. In the case of MIAME, the data format is provided in spreadsheet format (MAGE-TAB). Some of the communities that maintain minimum information standards also provide tools to help experimental researchers to annotate their data. MI Standards The individual minimum information standards are brought by the communities of cross-disciplinary specialists focused on the problematic of the specific method used in experimental biology. The standards then provide specifications what information about the experiments (metadata) is crucial and important to be reported together with the resultant data to make it comprehensive. The need for this standardization is largely driven by the development of high-throughput experimental methods that provide tremendous amounts of data. The development of minimum information standards of different methods is since 2008 being harmonized by "Minimum Information about a Biomedical or Biological Investigation" (MIBBI) project. MIAPPE, Minimum Information About a Plant Phenotyping Experiment MIAPPE is an open, community driven project to harmonize data from plant phenotyping experiments. MIAPPE comprises both a conceptual checklist of metadata required to adequately describe a plant phenotyping experiment. MIQE, Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments Published in 2009 these guidelines for the basis of requirements by many journals when submitting QPCR data, sadly they are not adhered to enough. MIAME, gene expression microarray Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) describes the Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment that is needed to enable the interpretation of the results of the experiment unambiguously and potentially to reproduce the experiment and is aimed at facilitating the dissemination of data from microarray experiments. It was published by the FGED Society in 2001 and was the first published minimum information standard for high-throughput experiments in the life sciences. MIAME contains

CircumArctic Rangifer Monitoring and Assessment Network (CARMA) is a scientific research network, launched in 2004 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and funded by the Canadian International Polar Year (IPY) which focusses on the health of health "the North's migratory tundra caribou and wild reindeer populations" in the face of global change, with up to 80% declines of some herds of wild Rangifer since 2004. The collaborative research is undertaken by an international team of scientists, administrators and members of local community members, particularly Rangifer hunters who share a common interest in their survival. History In 2000 Rangifer was confirmed as the key indicator species and the official network was endorsed at a Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) group gathering in Iceland held "to develop a framework for a circumpolar biodiversity monitoring program." CARMA was launched in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2004 and is funded under the Canadian International Polar Year (IPY) program. The Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF)'s Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program, "an international network of scientists, governments, Indigenous organizations and conservation groups working to harmonize and integrate efforts to monitor the Arctic's living resources" invited CARMA to become an official network. During the 24-month period ending in March 2009, over fifty thousand researchers from over sixty countries embarked on collaborative intensive scientific research projects on the polar regions in the fourth and largest International Polar Year (IPY) since its inception in 1882, which resulted in the report entitled "Understanding Earth's Polar Challenges: International Polar Year 2007–2008". Organization CARMA "has a small organizing committee coordinated through the Northern Research Institute (NRI) of Yukon College in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada." CARMA is a network under the CBMP Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Program (CBMP) which delivers biodiversity status to the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) group which reports directly to the Arctic Council (AC). CARMA included scientists from Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the United States and Russia. Tools and resources Tools and resources in 2004 included the caribou anatomy atlas, voices of caribou people, standardized monitoring protocols, manuals, community training video, climate database, CARMA database, models and a website. Conferences and publications In 2012 CARMA produced the report entitled "CARMA 8 Moving Forward: Knowledge to Action." In 2013 CARMA published "CARMA’s MERRA-based caribou range climate database" in the journal Rangifer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF%20on%20MSG%20Network
WWF on MSG Network (also advertised as WWF from Madison Square Garden) was a professional wrestling television program produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was a monthly television special that aired live from Madison Square Garden on the MSG Network from August 7, 1976, to March 16, 1997. The program featured live wrestling matches and interviews with WWF wrestlers. Updates of current feuds and several major title changes also took place on the show. As of May 2022, 44 of the 151 total episodes are currently on the WWE Network, listed in the WWE Old School playlists. History World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) began airing their monthly television special WWWF on MSG Network on August 7, 1976, after several years of airing their monthly Madison Square Garden shows on HBO. Several notable title changes took place on the show including Bob Backlund winning his first WWWF World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Superstar Billy Graham on February 20, 1978. The show was renamed WWF on MSG Network after the promotion changed its name to "World Wrestling Federation" in March 1979. The show was an important event and equivalent to today's pay-per-view events. Many important matches and storyline developments took place on the show, for example, Hulk Hogan's rise to stardom began on the show when he defeated The Iron Sheik to capture his first WWF Championship on January 23, 1984. With the rise of Hogan's popularity and WWF's national expansion, the show lost its significance following the first pay-per-view event WrestleMania in 1985. With the addition of more pay-per-view events and the introduction of Saturday Night's Main Event as a nationally televised monthly special, the WWF on MSG Network discontinued after 1992. WWF aired one final event on the MSG Network on March 16, 1997. Title changes WWF on MSG Network had many notable title changes. Bob Backlund defeated Superstar Billy Graham to win the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship on February 20, 1978 Bob Backlund defeated Bobby Duncum in a Texas Deathmatch to win the vacant WWF Championship on December 17, 1979 Backlund had lost the title to Antonio Inoki on November 30 in Japan, but after a controversial rematch on December 6 in Japan, the title was vacated. Neither match was acknowledged on US television. The match against Duncum was referred to on US television as a title defense, even though Backlund was not introduced as champion, nor did he wear the belt during his entrance. Ken Patera defeated Pat Patterson to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship on April 21, 1980 Pedro Morales defeated Don Muraco to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship on November 23, 1981 Bob Backlund defeated Greg Valentine to win the vacant WWF Championship on November 23, 1981 The title was vacated on October 19 when Backlund had successfully defended the title against Valentine but the dazed referee awarded the title to Valentine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugaku%20%28supercomputer%29
Fugaku is a petascale supercomputer at the Riken Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan. It started development in 2014 as the successor to the K computer and made its debut in 2020. It is named after an alternative name for Mount Fuji. It became the fastest supercomputer in the world in the June 2020 TOP500 list as well as becoming the first ARM architecture-based computer to achieve this. At this time it also achieved 1.42 exaFLOPS using the mixed fp16/fp64 precision HPL-AI benchmark. It started regular operations in 2021. Fugaku was superseded as the fastest supercomputer in the world by Frontier in May 2022. Hardware The supercomputer is built with the Fujitsu A64FX microprocessor. This CPU is based on the ARM version 8.2A processor architecture, and adopts the Scalable Vector Extensions for supercomputers. Fugaku was aimed to be about 100 times more powerful than the K computer (i.e. a performance target of 1 exaFLOPS). The initial (June 2020) configuration of Fugaku used 158,976 A64FX CPUs joined using Fujitsu's proprietary torus fusion interconnect. An upgrade in November 2020 increased the number of processors. Software Fugaku will use a "light-weight multi-kernel operating system" named IHK/McKernel. The operating system uses both Linux and the McKernel light-weight kernel operating simultaneously and side by side. The infrastructure that both kernels run on is termed the Interface for Heterogeneous Kernels (IHK). The high-performance simulations are run on McKernel, with Linux available for all other POSIX-compatible services. Besides the system software, the supercomputer has run many kinds of applications, including several benchmarks. Running the mainstream HPL benchmark, used by TOP500, Fugaku is at petascale and almost halfway to exascale. Additionally, Fugaku has set world records on at least three other benchmarks, including HPL-AI; at 2.0 exaflops, the system has exceeded the exascale threshold for the benchmark. A description of that benchmark is as follows: Performance The reported initial performance of Fugaku was a Rmax of 416 petaFLOPS in the FP64 high performance LINPACK benchmark used by the TOP500. After the November 2020 upgrade in the number of processors, Fugaku's performance increased to a Rmax of 442 petaFLOPS. In 2020, Fugaku also attained top spots in other rankings that test computers on different workloads, including Graph500, HPL-AI, and HPCG benchmark. No previous supercomputer has ever led all four rankings at once. After a hardware upgrade, as of November 2020, "Fugaku increased its performance on the new mixed precision HPC-AI benchmark to 2.0 exaflops, besting its 1.4 exaflops mark recorded six months ago. These represent the first benchmark measurements above one exaflop for any precision on any type of hardware." (a 42% increase) Interestingly, the Arm A64FX core-count was only increased by 4.5%, to 7,630,848, but the measured performance rose much more on that benchmark (and the

The Clie NX, were a series of handheld PDAs made by Sony, their first running the Palm OS 5.0 operating system. They had a clam-shell form factor, with a vertical rotatable screen. Most of these models also had a rotatable camera built in. Models The NX series succeeds the NR series. PEG-NX60 & PEG-NX70V The NX60 and NX70V were the first models in this series to be released, announced in October 2002. Notably, they were the 9th and 10th PDA models to be released by Sony that year. Being otherwise identical, the NX70 featured a VGA (0.3MP) digital camera built-in. These models featured both Memory Stick and CompactFlash card expansion ports, but the CF slot was advertised as a "Wireless Communication Slot" and was only compatible with specific Sony wireless LAN cards, the PEGA-WL100 and PEGA-WL110. Third-party drivers were eventually available for these models that enabled support for CF memory storage as well. Specifications Specifications from Mobile Tech Review.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic%20%28data%29
In computing, a device or software program is said to be agnostic or data agnostic if the method or format of data transmission is irrelevant to the device or program's function. This means that the device or program can receive data in multiple formats or from multiple sources, and still process that data effectively. Definition Many devices or programs need data to be presented in a specific format to process the data. For example, Apple Inc devices generally require applications to be downloaded from their App Store. This is a non data-agnostic method, as it uses a specified file type, downloaded from a specific location, and does not function unless those requirements are met. Non data-agnostic devices and programs can present problems. For example, if your file contains the right type of data (such as text), but in the wrong format, you may have to create a new file and enter the text manually in the proper format in order to use that program. Various file conversion programs exist because people need to convert their files to a different format in order to use them effectively. Implementation Data agnostic devices and programs work to solve these problems in a variety of ways. Devices can treat files in the same way whether they are downloaded over the internet or transferred over a USB or other cable. Devices and programs can become more data-agnostic by using a generic storage format to create, read, update, and delete files. Formats like XML and JSON can store information in a data agnostic manner. For example, XML is data agnostic in that it can save any type of information. However, if you use Data Transform Definitions (DTD) or XML Schema Definitions (XSD) to define what data should be placed where, it becomes non-data agnostic; it produces an error if the wrong type of data is placed in a field. Once you have your data saved in a generic storage format, this source can act as an entity synchronization layer. The generic storage format can interface with a variety of different programs, with the data extraction method formatting the data in a way that the specific program can understand. This allows two programs that require different data formats to access the same data. Multiple devices and programs can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) the same information from the same storage location without formatting errors. When multiple programs are accessing the same records, they may have different defined fields for the same type of concept. Where the fields are differently labelled but contain the same data, the program pulling the information can ensure the correct data is used. If one program contains fields and information that another does not, those fields can be saved to the record and pulled for that program, but ignored by other programs. As the entity synchronization layer is data agnostic, additional fields can be added without worrying about recoding the whole database, and concepts created in other programs (tha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude%20Gogin
Eleanor Gertrude Gogin (March 23, 1885 – February 6, 1967) was an American educator, and a national secretary of the YWCA, in charge of the organization's programming for girls and young women from 1918 to 1927. Early life Gertrude Gogin was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and lived in Brookline, the daughter of George W. Gogin and Matilda Allen Gogin. Her father worked in the steel industry, and her grandfather Thomas Gogin was head of the Norway Iron Works in Massachusetts. She graduated from Vassar College in 1908. In 1910 she earned a master's degree in history at Columbia University. Career Gogin taught one year (1908–1909) in St. Joseph, Louisiana, and at the Baldwin School in Pennsylvania in 1914. Soon after, she was a national secretary of the YWCA. In 1918 she was national head of the Girls' Division, responsible for the organization's wartime "Victory Girls" program. In 1919 Gogin wrote manuals for YWCA programs for various age levels, including the Rainbow Club for schoolgirls, the Girl Reserves for teens, and the Be Square Club for young working women. She lectured across the United States often. She addressed a national YWCA meeting in San Francisco in 1922, on the topic of flappers: "Why rail at the flapper? She is as good and as true as any girl of any time. She is but the product of the present and the conditions of the present," she explained. She wrote articles for Rural Manhood, The Church School Journal, The Vassar Miscellany, and other publications. Gogin resigned from the YWCA in 1927. She returned to school work, and by 1933 became principal of the Santa Barbara Girls' School in California. The school closed in 1938; she taught at the Marlborough School in Los Angeles after that. Gogin was president of the Vassar Club of Southern California in 1950, and still on the board of the organization in 1958. Personal life Gogin and her friend, fellow teacher Minnie Bertha Smith, bought a vacation house together in Carmel in 1931, and spent time there during the winter school holiday in 1936. Gogin was named as Smith's "beloved friend" in a brief notice when Smith died in 1945. Gogin died in 1967, aged 81 years, in Beverly Hills, California. She left a large bequest to Vassar College.

The sixth season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here was commissioned by Network Ten on 7 February 2019 and premiered on 5 January 2020. It was hosted by Julia Morris and Chris Brown. Teaser The first teaser trailer, which revealed Miguel Maestre as a contestant, was released on 5 November 2019. Celebrities Celebrity guests Results and elimination Indicates that the celebrity received the most votes from the public Indicates that the celebrity was immune from the vote Indicates that the celebrity was named as being in the bottom 2 or 3. Indicates that the celebrity received the fewest votes and was evicted immediately (no bottom three) Indicates that the celebrity withdrew from the competition Tucker Trials The contestants take part in daily trials to earn food. These trials aim to test both physical and mental abilities. Success is usually determined by the number of stars collected during the trial, with each star representing a meal earned by the winning contestant for their camp mates. The public voted for who they wanted to face the trial The contestants decided who did which trial The trial was compulsory and neither the public nor celebrities decided who took part The contestants were chosen by the evicted celebrities The voting for the trial was of dual origin Notes There were two tucker trials on the first day, with the celebrities entering the jungle in two groups of five. The first group had to bungee jump off a helicopter in Falling Stars while the other group were involved in a second tucker trial, where Erin was confined in a coffin and the other four celebrities had to answer trivia questions & retrieve bags of treasure from "hell holes" to free Erin. As intruders, Billy and Dale were required to complete the trial as part of their entry into camp. Nikki had severe vertigo after being spun multiple times, so she said the words "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" after the sixth round which ended the challenge. Billy and Ryan were automatically placed in the compulsory trial while Rhonda was voted into the trial by the public. Perez, as an intruder, had to complete the Viper Room trial as part of his entry into camp. Charlotte, Perez and Ryan had to drop a pickle onto a giant bun while bungee jumping, which they all failed to complete on their initial attempts. Because Perez was the only celebrity who was able to attempt the challenge, the producers decided to give him another attempt to win the full slate of stars. In the trial, each star was worth ½ meal, so this meant Charlotte and Miguel won 5½ meals for dinner. Star count Superhero Sundays In the sixth season, Superhero Sundays were introduced (replacing The Sunday Slam), in which a group of celebrities would participate in a superhero themed trial each Sunday. These challenges include Dreadmill, The Scariest Trial We've Ever Done! and Buns of Steel. Camp Master & Minion The Camp Master was able to sleep on a Bedshed bed and have breakfast in

Ammar Mohammad Alazaki () is a Yemeni pop singer known for being a finalist in the fourth season of Arab Idol, broadcast by the MBC network. His nomination received widespread coverage in Yemen amidst the Yemeni Civil War (2015–present). Alzaki initially gained recognition for winning the 2006 Munshid Al Sharjah competition which specialized in Nasheed type of singing, hosted by the Sharjah Media Corporation and under the patronage of the Ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah. Life Alazaki was born in the village of Alzaki in Ar Rujum District of Al Mahwit Governorate in Yemen. He discovered his talent for singing during nasheed performances at his school which encouraged him to join the Sana'a Arab Cultural Capital contest as part of the Arab Capital of Culture initiative and won first place in the nasheed category. His family was initially against his singing and did not believe he had a good voice until his music teacher visited the family and convinced them to allow him to compete in the Sanaa competition. At the age of 18, Alazaki travelled at his own expense and alone to Sharjah to compete at the annual Munshid Sharjah competition, and his father noted that they had less than 24 hours before the deadline to register. Alazaki would go on to beat international competition and win the first-place position and a monetary reward of 100,000 Emirati dirham. Before enrolling in the Arab Idol competition, Alazaki was contracted by the Global Village (Dubai) for three months and only enrolled by the advice of his friend, who persisted in requesting his participation at the Dubai tryouts despite his hesitation due to fierce competition. Arab Idol Alazaki competed in the fourth season of Arab Idol and came in third place at the competition. Throughout the competition, he gained widespread attention in Yemen despite the ongoing civil war and shortage of electricity. After Arab Idol Alzaki signed with Song Music Middle East in February 2018 and has released his first album "White Talk" and various singles since the end of the Arab Idol competition including collaborations with other Arab singers and poets. His first song with Sony Music was released in 2018. In 2019, Alazaki released "Ana AlYamani" song in dedication to the Yemeni Football Team in the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC). In addition, he acted in a locally produced Yemeni drama released on the YouTube channel of Yemen Shabab called Gorbah Al Bun (in Arabic غربه البن) which received millions of views on each episode and local popularity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20M.%20Scholes
John Morley Scholes (1948–2019) was a British computer scientist. In his professional career he was devoted to the development of the programming language APL. He was the designer and implementer of direct functions. Personal John Scholes was born on 24 April 1948 to Gerry and Amy Scholes. He grew up in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England, and attended Leamington College for Boys between 1960 and 1966. Between 1966 and 1969 he attended the University of Manchester and received a BSc (with honours) in mathematics. Scholes enjoyed poetic and romantic qualities in his life. Apart from APL, he also found beauty in nature, opera, the music of Tom Waits, the literature of James Joyce, the poetry of W.B. Yeats. He was a member of the Joyce society in Dublin. In 2013, he and his wife Flora Dowling went to Sligo to the W.B. Yeats Summer School and met the poet Seamus Heaney the summer before Heaney died. The APL side and the romantic side often met: The Depth-First Search video (below) was recorded at dawn on the summer solstice of 2014, with birdsong in the air, while he and his wife were on a 21-day Zen retreat in France led by Thích Nhất Hạnh. Scholes was pleased with both the technical content and the circumstances of that work. Career Scholes's first job was as a trainee computer programmer with International Computers Limited (ICL) (1969–70) and from there he went on to the Operations Research Department of WS Atkins in Epsom, Surrey (1971–75) and then to the Sales Support Department in Warrington, Lancashire (1976–77). Between 1977 and 1978 he worked with the European Space Agency in Madrid, Spain as a programmer for the International Ultraviolet Explorer project. He then returned to ICL Dataskil working on APL for the VME/B operating system (1978–82). In 1982, he started the Dyalog APL project for Unix machines, and in 1988 became a partner and director of the Dyalog Company. In 2004, Scholes sold his shares in the company, but continued as a consultant and, in his words, pursued his passionate interest in APL programming on various mathematical topics in general and functional programming and dfns in particular. Or "nerding", as he also called it. Direct functions (dfns) Kenneth E. Iverson, the inventor of APL, was dissatisfied with the way user functions were defined. In 1974, he devised "formal function definition" or "direct definition" for use in exposition. A direct definition has two or four parts, separated by colons: name : expression name : expression0 : proposition : expression1 Within a direct definition, denotes the left argument and the right argument. In the first instance, the result of is the result of the function; in the second instance, the result of the function is that of if evaluates to 0, or if it evaluates to 1. Assignments within a direct definition are dynamically local. Examples of using direct definition are found in the 1979 Turing Award Lecture and in books and application papers. Dir

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal%2013%20%28Mexico%29
Canal 13 is a regional broadcasting network operating in parts of Mexico, a division of Albavisión. Its largest subsidiary, Telsusa Televisión México, S.A. de C.V., holds the concessions for 12 TV stations, primarily in southeastern Mexico, obtained in the IFT-6 television station auction of 2017. The Canal 13 network also includes full-fledged TV stations in Villahermosa, San Cristóbal de las Casas—Tuxtla Gutiérrez and Tapachula, as well as their repeaters, and an additional station in Michoacán. All Canal 13 stations are assigned virtual channel 13. History In Tabasco and Chiapas The core of the Canal 13 network was born in 1980 with the concession award of XHTVL-TV, analog channel 9 in Villahermosa, to Tele-Emisoras del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (from which the name Telsusa is derived). Tele-Emisoras was owned by Remigio Ángel González, a Guatemalan entrepreneur who would later accumulate media holdings elsewhere in Latin America, as well as radio station owner Francisco Javier Sánchez Campuzano and Manuel Efraín Abán Méndez, who had placed the winning application for the channel in 1979, beating out Jorge Kanahuati Gómez and Fernando Laurencio Pazos de la Torre. XHTVL later expanded its area of influence to Tenosique with the launch of satellite station XHTOE-TV (analog channel 12) and into southern Veracruz, where Tele-Emisoras del Sureste principals took over noncommercial station XHCVP-TV in Coatzacoalcos. XHCVP, while a social station, operates as a repeater of XHTVL, and in 2016, it was legally represented by lawyers associated with Albavisión. On June 19, 1984, José de Jesús Partida Villanueva, one of Chiapas's pioneer broadcasters, received concessions for two further stations. XHDY-TV Channel 5 would cover central Chiapas, including San Cristóbal de las Casas and the state capital of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, while XHGK-TV Channel 4 was ultimately moved from an initial assignment in Comitán de Domínguez to be placed in Tapachula and cover the Soconusco region. In 1987, Sánchez Campuzano exited the partnership, as well as his stake in Comunicación del Sureste, which owned XHDY and XHGK. Despite González being born in Mexico, Telsusa was a small link in Albavisión, which grew to wield considerable national broadcasting—and political—power elsewhere in Latin America. González's close relationship with Televisa secured affiliations with the company for his stations, which broadcast programming from Gala TV and Foro TV along with local news and productions; Tele-Emisoras del Sureste and Comunicación del Sureste were considered part of the "preponderant economic agent" in broadcasting. In March 2020, the IFT approved an application for Tele-Emisoras del Sureste to be removed from this designation, as it aired no Televisa programming. Toward a regional network González set his sights on expanding his Mexican holdings as early as 2008, when Proceso reported that he was eyeing the creation of a national television network if new TV stations were pu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endpoint%20detection%20and%20response
Endpoint detection and response (EDR), also known as endpoint threat detection and response (ETDR), is a cybersecurity technology that continually monitors an "endpoint" (e.g. mobile phone, laptop, Internet-of-Things device) to mitigate malicious cyber threats. History In 2013, Anton Chuvakin of Gartner coined the term "endpoint threat detection and response" for "tools primarily focused on detecting and investigating suspicious activities (and traces of such) other problems on hosts/endpoints". Now, it is commonly known as "endpoint detection and response". According to the Endpoint Detection and Response - Global Market Outlook (2017-2026) report, the adoption of cloud-based and on-premises EDR solutions are going to grow 26% annually, and will be valued at $7273.26 million by 2026. According to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cyber Security Market report by Zion Market Research, the role of machine learning and artificial intelligence will create a $30.9 billion cyber security market by 2025. In 2020, source code for a widely-used EDR tool was made available by Comodo Cybersecurity as OpenEDR. The Commons Clause license they applied makes it available for free and more trustworthy, but explicitly does not claim to meet the commercial reuse requirements of open-source. Concept Endpoint detection and response technology is used to identify suspicious behavior and Advanced Persistent Threats on endpoints in an environment, and alert administrators accordingly. It does this by collecting and aggregating data from endpoints and other sources. That data may or may not be enriched by additional cloud analysis. EDR solutions are primarily an alerting tool rather than a protection layer but functions may be combined depending on the vendor. The data may be stored in a centralized database or forwarded to a SIEM tool. Every EDR platform has its unique set of capabilities. However, some common capabilities include the monitoring of endpoints in both the online and offline mode, responding to threats in real-time, increasing visibility and transparency of user data, detecting stored endpoint events and malware injections, creating blocklists and allowlists, and integration with other technologies. Some vendors of EDR technologies leverage the free Mitre Att&ck classification and framework for threats.

Shakuntala Devi is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language biographical drama film tracing the life of mathematician Shakuntala Devi, who was also known as the "human computer". It is written and directed by Anu Menon and produced by Sony Pictures Networks India, Abundantia Entertainment and Genius Films. The film stars Vidya Balan in a title role as Shakuntala Devi, along with Sanya Malhotra, Amit Sadh and Jisshu Sengupta in supporting roles while child artist Spandan Chaturvedi in her film debut gives a cameo appearance as young Shakuntala. Principal photography took place from September 2019 to November 2019. Originally planned for cinema release in May 2020, it was delayed owing to COVID-19 pandemic in India. Later, the film was directly streamed on Amazon Prime Video online on 31 July 2020 coinciding with Eid-al-Adha. Vidya Balan was also nominated for the 2021 Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Plot In 2001, Anupama Banerjee arrives in London with her husband Ajay, and reveals that she is suing her mother, Shakuntala Devi. The film shifts to Shakuntala Devi's childhood in Bengaluru in the 1930s, where her family discovers her incredible talent for quickly solving complex mathematical problems in her head. Her father, Bishaw, decides to use Shakuntala's talent and have her do "math shows," where she would entertain people with her problem solving prowess. Shakuntala continues to do math shows and earn for the family as she grows up, but blames her father for not letting her live a normal childhood. She also blames her mother for not standing up to him, especially in the wake of her sister's death. In 1954, she leaves for London after a violent altercation with her boyfriend, Dhiraj, after she learns that he had been pretending to love her even though he had a marriage fixed and even the invites printed out. In London, Shakuntala lives with Tarabai in her home with three other Indian men, but struggles to find opportunities for her shows. But, she eventually manages to impress Javier, a Spanish mathematician when she shows off her skills at the Royal Mathematical Society in London. He helps improve Shakuntala's English and helps her get shows, and the pair begin a relationship as well. Shakuntala's popularity rapidly grows, and is given the nickname "The Human Computer" after she proves a computer wrong on a TV show. She expands her global influence by performing in other countries, and becomes a worldwide celebrity. Amidst all of this, Javier ends his relationship with Shakuntala, stating that he needs to return to Spain. In 1968, Shakuntala meets Paritosh Banerji in Mumbai, and the two quickly fall in love. The couple eventually get married and settle in Kolkata, with the aspirations of starting a family. In 1970, Shakuntala gives birth to Anupama, nicknamed Anu, and devotes her life to being a mother. However, she realizes how much she misses doing shows and decides to resume her career, leaving Anu with Paritosh. Shakuntala continues to amaze pe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standards%20for%20Reporting%20Enzymology%20Data
Standards for Reporting Enzymology Data (STRENDA) is an initiative as part of the Minimum Information Standards which specifically focuses on the development of guidelines for reporting (describing metadata) enzymology experiments. The initiative is supported by the Beilstein Institute for the Advancement of Chemical Sciences. STRENDA establishes both publication standards for enzyme activity data and STRENDA DB, an electronic validation and storage system for enzyme activity data. Launched in 2004, the foundation of STRENDA is the result of a detailed analysis of the quality of enzymology data in written and electronic publications. Organization The STRENDA project is driven by 15 scientists from all over the world forming the STRENDA Commission and supporting the work with expertises in biochemistry, enzyme nomenclature, bioinformatics, systems biology, modelling, mechanistic enzymology and theoretical biology. Reporting guidelines The STRENDA Guidelines propose those minimum information that is needed to comprehensively report kinetic and equilibrium data from investigations of enzyme activities including corresponding experimental conditions. This minimum information is suggested to be addressed in a scientific publication when enzymology research data is reported to ensure that data sets are comprehensively described. This allows scientists not only to review, interpret and corroborate the data but also to reuse the data for modelling and simulation of biocatalytic pathways. In addition, the guidelines support researchers making their experimental data reproducible and transparent. As of March 2020, more than 55 international biochemistry journal included the STRENDA Guidelines in their authors' instructions as recommendations when reporting enzymology data. The STRENDA project is registered with FAIRsharing.org and the Guidelines are part of the FAIRDOM Community standards for Systems Biology. Applications STRENDA DB STRENDA DB is a web-based storage and search platform that has incorporated the Guidelines and automatically checks the submitted data on compliance with the STRENDA Guidelines thus ensuring that the manuscript data sets are complete and valid. A valid data set is awarded a STRENDA Registry Number (SRN) and a fact sheet (PDF) is created containing all submitted data. Each dataset is registered at Datacite and assigned a DOI to refer and track the data. After the publication of the manuscript in a peer-reviewed journal the data in STRENDA DB are made open accessible. STRENDA DB is a repository recommended by re3data and OpenDOAR. It is harvested by OpenAIRE. The database service is recommended in the authors' instructions of more than 10 biochemistry journals, including Nature, The Journal of Biological Chemistry, eLife, and PLoS. It has been referred as a standard tool for the validation and storage of enzyme kinetics data in multifold publications A recent study examining eleven publications, including Supporting In

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAPSMobile
HAPSMobile is a subsidiary of SoftBank planning to operate High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) networks, with AeroVironment as a minority owner. HAPSMobile is developing the Hawk30 solar-powered unmanned aircraft for stratospheric telecommunications. It has a strategic relationship with Loon LLC, a subsidiary of Google's parent Alphabet Inc. Hawk30 Development On January 3, 2018, AeroVironment announced it would design and develop a solar-powered, high-altitude, unmanned aircraft and associated ground control stations for a joint venture with Japanese telco SoftBank (95%) for $65 million. In November 2018, the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB in California was selected to provide ground and range safety for the project up to 10,000 ft for $791,600. On April 25, 2019, the stratospheric Hawk30 was rolled out for the joint venture. Commercial operations are expected to begin in 2023, operating year-round at latitudes 30° north and south of the equator. AeroVironment's design development investment increased by $39 million to $129 million, and a later Hawk50 model would allow operations from 50° north and south of the equator, to cover Japan and North America. The same day, SoftBank invested $125 million in Loon, a subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet, that has been developing high-altitude balloons for internet connectivity since 2011. It will make a similar investment in HAPSMobile, collaborating on common ground stations, communications payloads and can share network connectivity in flight. HAPSMobile could also use the Loon-developed fleet management system and software-defined network. In August 2019, the FAA allowed the HAWK30 to fly in the stratosphere above Hawaii in FY2019, within the Pan-Pacific UAS Test Range Complex. On September 11, the prototype Hawk30 first flew at low altitude in restricted airspace at the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center. Stratospheric flight tests up to 65,000 ft are expected to start before March 31, 2020, from the Hawaiian island of Lanai. Built in Simi Valley, California, the HAWK30 made its first flight and was tested at the Spaceport America in New Mexico instead, as the local Economic Development Department provided $500,000 in subsidies. On 21–22 September 2020, the HAPSMobile Hawk30 (rebranded as Sunglider) flew 20 hours from Spaceport America, and reached an altitude of on its fifth demonstration flight. It tested the long-distance LTE communications developed with Loon for standard LTE smartphones and wireless broadband communications. Design The Hawk30 flying-wing is a development of the NASA Pathfinder and NASA Helios high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft built by AeroVironment for NASA. Resembling the 1999 Helios, the tailless aircraft is a span flying wing with 10 electric-driven propellers. Orbiting at , it is solar-powered by day and battery-powered by night to stay aloft for up to six months initially. The aircraft's service life is planned to be two

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demetrius%20Nicolaides
Demetrius Nicolaides ( Dimitrios Nikolaidis; ; – 3 July 1915), also known as Nikolaidis Efendi, was an Ottoman Greek journalist and compiler of legislation. Johann Strauss, author of A Constitution for a Multilingual Empire: Translations of the Kanun-ı Esasi and Other Official Texts into Minority Languages, wrote that Nicolaides was "an extremely active but somewhat enigmatic figure in the press life of 19th century Istanbul". Nicolaides was born and raised in Ottoman Constantinople (now Istanbul) and attended the Great School of the Nation (Megalē tou Genous scholē), from which he graduated in 1861. His family was the Ieromnimon. Career He began editing the Anatolikos Astēr in 1862. In 1864, he left the first publication and began editing Heptalophos; he received ownership of it in 1865 and renamed it Nea Eptalofos. It became a newspaper in 1867, and it was renamed Kōnstantinoupolis after that. During periods when Kōnstantinoupolis was not in operation, Nicolaides edited Thrakē ("Thrace"; August 1870 – 1880) and Avgi ("Aurora"; 6 July 1880 – 10 July 1884). He edited a French-language collection of Ottoman law, Législation ottomane, that was published by Gregory Aristarchis. He also edited the Greek version of the Düstur, Оθωμανικοί Κώδηκες ("Othōmanikoi kōdēkes", meaning "Ottoman Codes", with Demotic Greek using "Οθωμανικοί κώδικες"), its first non-Turkish version. These two publications enriched him financially, giving him money used to operate his newspapers. After the Ottoman government received the Greek version, it made him a third-class civil servant. Nicolaides also wrote a document stating that he translated volumes of the Dustür and the Mecelle into Bulgarian. The Bulgarian copies of the Dustür circulating stated that they were written by Christo S. Arnaudov (; Post-1945 spelling: Христо С. Арнаудов), who published it. Johann Straus concluded that the Bulgarian version probably originated from Nicolaides's Greek version due to "striking similarities" between the two, even though the Bulgarian one says that it was a collaborative work that was directly translated from Ottoman Turkish. A Konstantinoupolis employee, Manuel Gedeon, wrote that Nicolaides, Christoforos Samartzidis, and a person Gedeon described as "another impostor" together published a French version of Pharos of the Bosphorus (or Lighthouse of the Bosphorus). Gedeon stated that Nicolaides obtained 5,000 gold francs from the Ambassador of Russia to the Ottoman Empire, Ignatieff, to fund this publication, and that he did not give much of this away to other parties. According to Gedeon, Theodoros Kasapis wrote in Diogenis that the Russian ambassador had bribed Nicolaides. Nicolaides also applied to have his own Karamanli Turkish publication, Asya, but was denied. Evangelina Baltia and Ayșe Kavak, authors of Publisher of the newspaper Konstantinoupolis for half a century, wrote that they could find no information explaining why Nicolaides' proposal was turned down.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivarail%20D-Train
The Vivarail D-Train is a family of multiple units remanufactured by Vivarail for the British rail network. They are converted from London Underground D78 Stock, originally manufactured between 1978 and 1981 by Metro-Cammell. Two versions have been produced: the Class 230 diesel electric multiple unit and the Class 484 electric multiple unit. History In 2015, Vivarail purchased 226 London Underground D78 Stock carriages with the aim of converting them to multiple units. It was estimated that they would cost one-third of that of a new build train. Prototypes A prototype was produced for testing and accreditation in August 2015. The initial prototype D-Train was built as a three-car diesel-electric unit, which was completed in the summer of 2016, following which it underwent a programme of main-line testing, with the intention that it be used on a year-long trial service on the Coventry to Nuneaton line by London Midland. This was cancelled after the unit caught fire. This unit was first used in passenger service at the 2017 Rail Live exhibition, running a service from to the event location at Quinton. The second prototype was built as a two-car battery-electric unit; although self-powered like the original, instead of a diesel engine to power the traction motors, this unit uses batteries that can be recharged from a charging point at each end of its journey. This unit was complete by the summer of 2018, and was put on a testing programme. In October 2018, it was taken to the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway carrying its first passengers. This culminated in the battery powered unit running a distance of 40 miles using battery power alone, a first for a train in the UK, in January 2020. A feature that has been reintroduced in these units include the passenger door open buttons. When first introduced in 1980 in unpainted livery the units consisted of door buttons on the exterior and interior pressed by passengers to open the doors. Upon refurbishment, the interior door buttons were removed and the exterior ones were panelled over. After conversion this feature was provided again similar to London Underground pre-refurbishment. Orders West Midlands Trains The first full D-Train order came from West Midlands Trains, which procured three 2-car DEMUs for use on the Marston Vale line. These are operated under the London Northwestern Railway brand, with the first entering service on 23 April 2019. Transport for Wales A second order for Class 230s came from KeolisAmey Wales, with five 3-car sets ordered. Although these are also Class 230s, rather than straight DEMUs they will be built as diesel/battery hybrid units, to be used on the Borderlands line, Conwy Valley line and Chester to Crewe line. Island Line In 2019, South Western Railway announced an order for five 2-car D-Train sets for use by its Island Line operation on the Isle of Wight. These were ordered as third rail EMUs, becoming .

DWGM-TV (channel 13) is a television station in Bacolod City, Philippines, airing programming from the GMA network. Owned and operated by the network's namesake corporate parent, the station maintains studios and hybrid analog/digital transmitter facility at the 3/F iSecure Bldg., Rizal cor. Locsin St., Bacolod. History Channel 10 Bacolod traced its history in 1969 as a Catholic television station owned by the Visayan Educational Radio and Television Association (or shortened as VERTA) under the leadership of the late Bacolod City Bishop Antonio Fortich (VERTA also owns it's radio station, DYAF-AM (1143 kHz on AM band) at that time, with the latter is now under the membership of the Catholic Media Network, as "DYAF Radyo Veritas 1143 Bacolod"). It was closed down in the height of Martial Law declaration in 1972. Three years ago, in 1975, Channel 10 went back on the air. This time broadcasting as an affiliate of Republic Broadcasting System using the "Magnitude 10" branding. However, in the year 1984, Magnitude 10 was lasted for nine years when it closed and off the air due to lack of funds needed to upgrade its facilities. GMA's presence in Bacolod City was restored on April 30, 1992 when it became a relay station as GMA Channel 10 Bacolod, coinciding with GMA's Rainbow Satellite Network launch with the utilizes a logo to correspond with the rebranding and a satellite-beaming rainbow in a multicolored striped based on the traditional scheme of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, with GMA in a metallic form uses a San Serif Century Gothic Extra Bold and analogous gloominess of Indigo as its fonts in the letters. Prior to the launch, the station conducted test broadcasts via the Channel 10 frequency from 1989-1991 using a low-powered transmitter covering parts of the Bacolod area, and on May 16, 1996, RBS was formally changed its corporate name to GMA Network Incorporated, with GMA now standing for Global Media Arts. In 1998, GMA Bacolod's signal was increased to 10 kilowatts (via GMA's transmitter in Sipalay) and shared the same frequency with GMA Iloilo (Channel 6), while Channel 10 was closed down. It simulcast the regional news program "Ratsada" and the variety program "Bongga!". However, the simulcast only lasted a year and GMA's signal was only available through cable affiliates. In 2007, GMA Channel 10 Bacolod was reopened as an owned-and-operated relay station under the ownership of GMA Network Inc.. On the following year, GMA Bacolod would later become one of the relay stations of GMA Channel 6 Iloilo. On December 6, 2009, GMA Channel 10 Bacolod moved its frequency to Channel 13 in order to prevent its interference with ABS-CBN TV-10 Iloilo, which is also receivable in Bacolod City. At the same time, GMA Bacolod became a satellite-selling station alongside Naga, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos stations. On November 22, 2010, GMA Bacolod launched its own news program Isyu Subong Negrense, which was initially aired

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOJC
KOJC was a radio station in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, owned by the Oakhill-Jackson Economic Development Corporation. The station operated from June 1978 to 1993 and provided programming by and for the African American community in Cedar Rapids. History The Oakhill-Jackson Economic Development Corporation received the construction permit for a new 10-watt FM radio station on September 28, 1976 after the idea was born at a community meeting in 1974. The station was built with a string of donations: two classrooms from St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, a tower site donated by Cargill, as well as donated studio equipment and furniture. KOJC planned to include in its programming broadcasts from black churches, Mutual Black Network news, and other specials. The station signed on the air the evening of June 30, 1978, originally operating on weekends only until it expanded to seven-day operation in November. The station had 15 volunteers by year's end, adding the Mutual Black Network newscasts and children's programming in early 1979. Several children aged 5 through 13 were involved in the production of the youth shows. KOJC moved in 1981 to new facilities at 626 Fifth Ave. SE. Three years later, it boosted its power to 200 watts. After a rough period for donations in the early 1980s, the station's financial situation was stabilizing by 1984; one of those donations came as part of a settlement in a dispute over the use of minority contractors at the Cedar Rapids airport. By the mid-1980s, Iowa was home to three of the country's ten African American, community-owned stations: KOJC, KUCB-FM in Des Moines and KBBG in Waterloo, which were all profiled in a 1984 documentary by Iowa Public Television. Further upgrades came in 1989 with a new studio at 1052 Mount Vernon Road SE, its fourth—and final—studio site. Support faded for KOJC in the early 1990s, with fewer donations, increased debt, and an internal struggle among the group's board members, ultimately prompting the station to cease operations in the summer of 1993. In March 1996, the Federal Communications Commission ordered the Oakhill-Jackson Economic Development Corporation to show cause why its license should not be revoked. In the hearing, Oakhill-Jackson failed to appear. Despite an attempt to sell the station to Friendship Communications, owner of KWOF in Waterloo, and obtain reconsideration of the decision to revoke the license and delete the call letters, because Oakhill itself had no intention of returning KOJC to the air, the FCC upheld its decision in September 1997, deleting the license.

Premise Firedrake is a young silver dragon, who has had enough of constantly having to hide in a wooded valley. He wants to show the older generations of dragons that he is a real dragon. When humans are about to destroy his family's very last refuge, Firedrake secretly sets off on an adventurous journey with Sorrel a bad-tempered cat-like forest brownie. He wants to find the "Rim of Heaven", the dragons' mysterious haven. On their quest, Firedrake and Sorrel encounter Ben, an orphan and stray, who claims to be a dragon rider. While Ben and Firedrake make friends quickly, Sorrel becomes increasingly distrustful and tries her best to get rid of the orphan at every opportunity. But the unlikely trio have to learn to pull together, because they are being hunted by Nettlebrand, an evil dragon-eating monster which was created by an alchemist with the aim of tracking down and destroying every dragon on Earth.

Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave it 3 out of 5. Collin said the film borrows heavily from other recent films and wrote: "Dragon Rider is unlikely to spawn many imitators of its own—even if it did, how could anyone tell?—but as a half-term diversion, it ticks every box." Cath Clarke of The Guardian gave it 3 out of 5 and called it a "bland but entertaining family film". References External links

Now severely burnt, Xavier mercifully kills Bertie per her wishes. Brooke, meanwhile, falls into a trap set by Donna. Ramirez tracks Brooke down after being tipped off by Montana, but Richter appears. Ramirez and Richter fight, with Brooke escaping during the chaos and Ramirez apparently being killed. Richter visits Margaret, who reveals she was the actual killer in 1970 following bullying at the hands of the other camp counselors. Richter, blamed for the killings, was subsequently subjected to terrible treatments during his time in the asylum. Margaret shoots Richter. Trevor arrives after hearing the gunshots, and Margaret kills him, intending to blame his death on Richter, who has escaped. Xavier, after encountering a wounded and apparently merciful Richter, is found by Brooke. They meet up with Chet, Montana, and Margaret, who lies that Richter killed Trevor. Elsewhere, Donna witnesses Ramirez being revived by a supernatural power. Reception "True Killers" was watched by 1.29 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received largely positive reviews. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, "True Killers" holds a 94% approval rating, based on 16 reviews with an average rating of 7.08/10. The critical consensus reads: "The plot twists keep coming in the shocking, "True Killers," but the addition of supernatural elements keep the momentum high in this sensational season." Ron Hogan of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4/5, saying, "American Horror Story is about immediate and intense gratification. "True Killers" carries on that tradition, blowing through a lot of twists and turns. This is blood-splattered, burned, stabbed, shot, slashed, and smashed episode that unpacks the secrets of Camp Redwood." He added, "This isn't a show that leans towards subtlety, and a lot of the twists in this episode are foreshadowed very effectively throughout the run thus far. That AHS isn't even trying to extend out the plot suggests that they're fine with burning off the incredibly long night of the killing spree and have something in their pockets for the latter half of the season." He also praised the script, commenting that "Jay Beattie's script does a solid job of peppering the quippy jokes throughout and keeping the laugh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier%20%28computer%20languages%29
In computer programming languages, an identifier is a lexical token (also called a symbol, but not to be confused with the symbol primitive data type) that names the language's entities. Some of the kinds of entities an identifier might denote include variables, data types, labels, subroutines, and modules. Lexical form Which character sequences constitute identifiers depends on the lexical grammar of the language. A common rule is alphanumeric sequences, with underscore also allowed (in some languages, _ is not allowed), and with the condition that it can not begin with a numerical digit (to simplify lexing by avoiding confusing with integer literals) – so foo, foo1, foo_bar, _foo are allowed, but 1foo is not – this is the definition used in earlier versions of C and C++, Python, and many other languages. Later versions of these languages, along with many other modern languages, support many more Unicode characters in an identifier. However, a common restriction is not to permit whitespace characters and language operators; this simplifies tokenization by making it free-form and context-free. For example, forbidding + in identifiers due to its use as a binary operation means that a+b and a + b can be tokenized the same, while if it were allowed, a+b would be an identifier, not an addition. Whitespace in identifier is particularly problematic, as if spaces are allowed in identifiers, then a clause such as if rainy day then 1 is legal, with rainy day as an identifier, but tokenizing this requires the phrasal context of being in the condition of an if clause. Some languages do allow spaces in identifiers, however, such as ALGOL 68 and some ALGOL variants – for example, the following is a valid statement: real half pi; which could be entered as .real. half pi; (keywords are represented in boldface, concretely via stropping). In ALGOL this was possible because keywords are syntactically differentiated, so there is no risk of collision or ambiguity, spaces are eliminated during the line reconstruction phase, and the source was processed via scannerless parsing, so lexing could be context-sensitive. In most languages, some character sequences have the lexical form of an identifier but are known as keywords – for example, if is frequently a keyword for an if clause, but lexically is of the same form as ig or foo namely a sequence of letters. This overlap can be handled in various ways: these may be forbidden from being identifiers – which simplifies tokenization and parsing – in which case they are reserved words; they may both be allowed but distinguished in other ways, such as via stropping; or keyword sequences may be allowed as identifiers and which sense is determined from context, which requires a context-sensitive lexer. Non-keywords may also be reserved words (forbidden as identifiers), particularly for forward compatibility, in case a word may become a keyword in future. In a few languages, e.g., PL/1, the distinction is not clear. Semanti

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramon%20Lobato
Ramon Lobato is an author, researcher, and scholar of cultural industries. The focus of his research is on video distribution networks, and how they structure audience access, discovery, and content diversity. He is currently Associate Professor of Media and Communication at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Education Lobato studied at the University of Melbourne, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in cinema studies in 2006 and a PhD in cultural studies in 2010. His PhD thesis, "Subcinema: Mapping Informal Film Distribution", investigated the international dynamics of piracy and informal distribution. Career Lobato is known for his work on film piracy and digital video distribution. His first book, Shadow Economies of Cinema: Mapping Informal Film Distribution (British Film Institute, 2012) explored the centrality of informal and pirate networks to everyday film cultures around the world. Writing in Cinema Journal, Neves observed that Shadow Economies of Cinema "moves scholarly attention to critical issues of access, aspiration, and innovation, and to the actually existing practices and channels that serve billions of users—many of which are disappeared or disconnected by the continued focus on formal, legal, and official structures”. In 2015 Lobato published the co-authored book The Informal Media Economy (Polity, 2015, with Julian Thomas), which used theories of economic informality to explain how media systems evolve. Examples discussed in the book include fansubbing, piracy, games, UGC, and parallel-imported books and videos. Prof Michael Curtin of UC Santa Barbara described the book as offering “lucid, thoughtful and provocative insights regarding topics that are absolutely central to media industry studies today”. In 2019 Lobato published Netflix Nations: The Geography of Digital Distribution (NYU Press), which analyses the international roll-out of Netflix between 2010 and 2016, and its implications for global media audiences and regulators. Reviewers noted how the book "re-centers the importance of geographic and spatial logics in the study of digitally distributed media" (Quarterly Review of Film and Video) and "meticulously details the complicated global ecology of Internet-distributed television" (International Journal of Communication). Before his career in research Lobato worked for Beat Magazine as a music reporter and Sensis as an associate editor. After receiving his PhD in 2010 Lobato joined Swinburne University of Technology as a senior research fellow in the Institute for Social Research, where he was involved in several projects pertaining to media policies and technology. During this time he also taught in the university's cinema and screen studies program, where he developed classes for both the program and the School of Arts, Social Science and Humanities. Alongside Amanda Lotz Lobato co-founded the Global Internet TV Consortium, a network of media scholars who research the impact of internet-distributed televisi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan%20Srebrenjak
Ivan Srebrenjak or Srebrnjak (1903 – 21 May 1942) ran a Soviet intelligence network for the NKVD in the Balkans at the beginning of Axis occupation of Yugoslavia. Srebrenjak was born in 1903 in Slavonia and became a member of the Yugoslav Communist Party in 1928. After he killed a Yugoslav policeman in 1930 he left Yugoslavia and became a member of a group of Stalin's killers known as "liquidators" headed by Josip Broz Tito. When Axis forces occupied Yugoslavia in 1941 Srebrenjak returned to Yugoslavia and set up an NKVD centre in Zagreb, a part of Red Orchestra network. Tito considered him as an enemy and requested approval from Stalin to relieve Srebrenjak of that position, which was refused by Stalin. In 1942, Srebrenjak was informed on to the Gestapo and Ustaše, which caused him to be captured. In captivity Srebrenjak was the first person to identify Tito as leader of Communist resistance movement in Yugoslavia to German and Ustaše authorities. To minimize further damage to his position Tito ordered the murder of Srebrenjak and on 21 May 1942 Srebrenjak was killed in Ustaše prison. This murder allowed Tito to seize and stabilize his position of leader of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Early life Srebrenjak was born in 1903 in the village of Oprisavci near Slavonski Brod, at the time in Austria-Hungary (modern day Croatia). In 1928 he became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and in 1930 he murdered a police agent in Zagreb based on the order of the communist party. Because of this murder he had to leave Yugoslavia. In the Soviet Union Srebrenjak became a Soviet citizen with name Petar Petrovič Antonov who was considered as one of the most capable intelligence officers. Initially, there were four centres of NKVD in Zagreb, parts of Red Orchestra, one operated by Andrija Hebrang, a second by Stevan Krajačić, a third by Josip Kopinič and a fourth by Ivan Srebrenjak. In France After leaving Yugoslavia Srebrenjak first went to Paris in France and joined a group of Stalin's killers known as "liquidators" headed by Josip Broz Tito, whose members were also Vittorio Vidali, Vlajko Begović and Ivan (Stevo) Krajačić. In Paris Srebrenjak killed Yugoslav agent Ilija Šumanovac. During World War II When Axis forces attacked Kingdom of Yugoslavia in April 1941, Srebrenjak came from France to Zagreb to run an "information point" for Soviet intelligence in Zagreb. In Zagreb Srebrenjak became a head of Soviet intelligence network of the NKVD for the Balkans. Srebrenjak operated from this centre in Zagreb together with his wife Frančiška Srebrenjak (nee Klinc), who was a secret agent of the Yugoslav police and later Gestapo. According to some sources she had a love affair with Stjepan Đaković, the elder son of Đuro Đaković. Srebrenjak was the first victim of Tito's ambitions to become Stalin's intelligence officer not only for Yugoslavia but also for other Balkan countries as well. In a telegram sent to Tito on 1 July 1941, Kopinič asser
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orestes%20draegeri
Orestes draegeri is a species of stick insects in the subfamily Dataminae and tribe Datamini. Characteristics Orestes draegeri is a very slender and elongated species with relatively short legs. It is very similar to Orestes mouhotii, from which it differs in its relatively shorter legs. Males are approximately long. In front of and behind the eyes there are mostly pairs of more or less distinct structures that are species-specific (see also acanthotaxy of Heteropterygidae). The three pairs of occipital spines are designed as follows: The anterior supra-antennals are recognizable spinose and slightly pointed outwards. The pairs of anterior and posterior supra-occipitals behind it are smaller. The vertex is significantly enlarged, blunt and laterally compressed with the anterior coronals, which creates conspicuous, ear-like horns (auricles). The paired supra-orbitals behind the eyes are recognizable bluntly spinous. Posterior and lateral coronals are recognizable as small pointed tubercles that form a crown with the tip of the postocular carina located behind the eye, a distinct edge. The eyes are relatively small, circular and protruding strongly hemispherical. The antennae are shorter than the legs and consist of 23 segments. While the structures on the head resemble those of Orestes mouhotii, these are missing in the males of Orestes draegeri distinct conical hump at posterior margin of the mesonotum which is slightly sulcate medially. The females are approximately long. Their head is flat and shows only indistinct structures in the form of tubercles. The tibae of middle legs are compressed laterally at the top and have an indistinct tooth at the end and a clear tooth in the middle. The fourth tergite of the abdomen is indistinctly widened and almost parallel to the rear. On the back of the ninth tergite there is a clearly elongated, strongly roof-like ridge in the center. In the females of Orestes mouhotii this crest is not roof-like and elongated and not notched at the back. Distribution area The species was found by Joachim Bresseel and Jérôme Constant in 2012 in the seasonal tropical forests in the Vietnamese provinces Lâm Đồng and Đồng Nai and here in the Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve, which includes Cát Tiên National Park (type locality). Following the investigations by Sarah Bank et al., in which Bresseel and Constant were also involved, it can also be found in the provinces Thừa Thiên Huế, Nghệ An and the northern provinces Vĩnh Phúc and Bắc Kạn. This means that their known distribution area extends almost over the whole of Vietnam. Taxonomy From June 25 to July 6, 2012, Bresseel and Constant found representatives of the species in the biosphere reserve of Đồng Nai and on July 16, 2012 another male and four females in the Cát Tiên National Park. In their work on the genus Orestes published in 2018, they described this species as well as five others. The species name is dedicated to Holger Dräger, a German phasmid breeder who, al

In mathematics and computer science, Recamán's sequence is a well known sequence defined by a recurrence relation. Because its elements are related to the previous elements in a straightforward way, they are often defined using recursion. It takes its name after its inventor , a Colombian mathematician. Definition Recamán's sequence is defined as: The first terms of the sequence are: 0, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 13, 20, 12, 21, 11, 22, 10, 23, 9, 24, 8, 25, 43, 62, 42, 63, 41, 18, 42, 17, 43, 16, 44, 15, 45, 14, 46, 79, 113, 78, 114, 77, 39, 78, 38, 79, 37, 80, 36, 81, 35, 82, 34, 83, 33, 84, 32, 85, 31, 86, 30, 87, 29, 88, 28, 89, 27, 90, 26, 91, 157, 224, 156, 225, 155, ... On-line encyclopedia of integer sequences (OEIS) Recamán's sequence was named after its inventor, Colombian mathematician Bernardo Recamán Santos, by Neil Sloane, creator of the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS). The OEIS entry for this sequence is . Even when Neil Sloane has collected more than 325,000 sequences since 1964, the Recamán's sequence was referenced in his paper My favorite integer sequences. He also stated that of all the sequences in the OEIS, this one is his favorite to listen to (you can hear it below). Visual representation The most-common visualization of the Recamán's sequence is simply plotting its values, such as the figure at right. On January 14, 2018, the Numberphile YouTube channel published a video titled The Slightly Spooky Recamán Sequence, showing a visualization using alternating semi-circles, as it is shown in the figure at top of this page. Sound representation Values of the sequence can be associated with musical notes, in such that case the running of the sequence can be associated with an execution of a musical tune. Properties The sequence satisfies: This is not a permutation of the integers: the first repeated term is . Another one is . Conjecture Neil Sloane has conjectured that every number eventually appears, but it has not been proved. Even though 10230 terms have been calculated (in 2018), the number 852,655 has not appeared on the list. Uses Besides its mathematical and aesthetic properties, Recamán's sequence can be used to secure 2D images by steganography. Alternate sequence The sequence is the most-known sequence invented by Recamán. There is another sequence, less known, defined as: This OEIS entry is .
