https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain%20controller | A domain controller (DC) is a server that responds to security authentication requests within a computer network domain. It is a network server that is responsible for allowing host access to domain resources. It authenticates users, stores user account information and enforces security policy for a domain. It is most commonly implemented in Microsoft Windows environments (see Domain controller (Windows)), where it is the centerpiece of the Windows Active Directory service. However, non-Windows domain controllers can be established via identity management software such as Samba and Red Hat FreeIPA.
Software
The software and operating system used to run a domain controller usually consists of several key components shared across platforms. This includes the operating system (usually Windows Server or Linux), an LDAP service (Red Hat Directory Server, etc.), a network time service (ntpd, chrony, etc.), and a computer network authentication protocol (usually Kerberos). Other components, such as a public key infrastructure (Active Directory Certificate Services, DogTag, OpenSSL) service and Domain Name System (Windows DNS or BIND) may also be included on the same server or on another domain-joined server.
Implementation
Domain controllers are typically deployed as a cluster to ensure high-availability and maximize reliability. In a Windows environment, one domain controller serves as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and all other servers promoted to domain controller status in the domain server as a Backup Domain Controller (BDC). In Unix-based environments, one machine serves as the master domain controller and others serve as replica domain controllers, periodically replicating database information from the main domain controller and storing it in a read-only format.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth%20A.%20Weiss | Ruth A. Weiss is a British-American software engineer known for her work in computer graphics, especially the hidden-line removal problem. She also developed, together with Richard Hamming, the L2 programming language, a floating-point mathematical package for the IBM 650.
Early life
Weiss was born in Willesden, Middlesex, England (now part of the Greater London area) on March 30, 1945. She arrived in the United States on November 13, 1952, with her mother, Margaret Weiss (Marliese Oppá or Oppe), and her two brothers and maternal grandmother on the French ocean liner Ile de France, which sailed from Southampton on November 7, 1952. Her father, Paul Weiss, a noted British mathematician of German descent, had already arrived in the U.S. in September 1950 and was living in Syracuse, NY. Weiss was naturalized a U.S. citizen on April 28, 1964.
Career and accomplishments
While working for Bell Labs in the 1950s and 1960s, Weiss co-developed, with Richard Hamming, the L2 interpretive floating point package. The L2 system was widely used within Bell Labs, and also by outside users, who knew it as Bell 2. It was superseded by Fortran when the IBM 650 was replaced by the IBM 704 in 1957. At Bell Labs she also worked on development of the Multics operating system.
Weiss's 1966 paper on her BE VISION software for the IBM 7090 describes hidden-line removal in curved surfaces, a challenging problem at the time. This paper was acknowledged by inclusion in a 1998 compilation by SIGGRAPH of the seminal papers in computer graphics. According to Carlson, "Ruth Weiss created in 1964 (published in 1966) some of the first algorithms for converting equations of surfaces to orthographic views on an output device." In a 1966 paper, Ivan E. Sutherland stated that the problem of hidden-line removal remained unsolved for surfaces other than planes. Two months later, Weiss corrected him in a letter to the same publication, citing her work in hidden-line removal in quadric surfaces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie%20Mac | Leslie MacFadyen, known professionally as Leslie Mac, is an American activist and community organizer. She is a co-founder of the Ferguson Response Network, the co-creator of the Safety Pin Box monthly subscription service, and has created multiple digital campaigns such as #PayBlackWomen and #SlaveryWithASmile.
Career
Mac attended Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism before she dropped out. She also worked as a trainer helping open the international locations of corporate restaurants chains, and later became an event planner.
In 2014, she began grassroots organizing with the help of Feminista Jones, with whom she organized a National Moment of Silence (#NMOS14) vigil in the wake of Michael Brown's shooting death in Ferguson, MO. Mac then founded the Ferguson Response Network in 2014 to help train people in peaceful protest, and transitioned into full-time organizing. She has helped organized events such as the Reclaim MLK March in Philadelphia on January 20, 2015.
Mac was an activist in the Black Lives Matter of Unitarian Universalism.
She developed the Twitter hashtag #SlaveryWithASmile in January 2016 to protest the publication of a children's book, A Birthday Cake for George Washington, which depicted an enslaved chef baking a cake for George Washington. Authors such as Debbie Reese, Mikki Kendall, and Dr. Ebony Elizabeth Thomas joined the hashtag. The book was removed from circulation by Scholastic on January 17, 2016.
Together with fellow organizer Marissa Jenae Johnson, she developed Safety Pin Box in 2016, which is a monthly subscription box for "white people striving to be allies in the fight for Black Liberation." The idea was influenced by the popular safety pin concept developed by a woman in the UK who suggested wearing pins as a sign of solidarity to racial minorities after the Brexit vote. Each box offers specific steps white allies can take to engage in anti-racist allyship.
In December 2016 Mac posted on Facebook about racism, and shortly after actor Matt McGorry shared her post on his account in support, Mac's account was banned. After media coverage of the event, Facebook restored her account and stated that the banning had been an error.
Mac created the Twitter hashtag #PayBlackWomen in July 2018 to highlight the racial disparity in pay between Black women and white men. Politicians such as Rep. Barbara Lee and Rep. Yvette Clarke tweeted support of the hashtag.
Personal life
Mac was born and raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York to Jamaican immigrant parents. Mac is married and has been with her husband for 20 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolateral | Kolateral () is a studio rap album by Sandata, a group headed by Filipino rap artists and activists BLKD and Calix. It has twelve tracks that offer narratives and socio-political commentary on the Philippine drug war under Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The album uses themes of art, activism, and protest and is a product of two-years worth of research from the stories of the victims, data gathered, and other information. It was released June 29, 2019.
Background
The Philippine Drug War, which is the ongoing drug policy of the Philippine government under President Duterte, has been pointed out by critics on its effects on the human rights situation of the Philippines. The number of those who have been killed range from the official government figures of 5,104 to as many about 29,000 classified as "deaths under inquiry." After three years since the start of Duterte's term in 2016, research and activism has led to various artists to collaborate to make the Kolateral album. The album was made to recognize the abuses of the drug war, as well as to call for action.
Songs
The album features twelve tracks regarding the adverse effects of the ongoing drug war.
The opening track is entitled "Makinarya" (), which offers a glimpse on the workings of the drug war under the command of President Duterte.
The next three tracks and the sixth track offer narratives regarding the effects of the drug war on the lives of affected sectors. "Boy" (a common street nickname in the Philippines for boys) is about young street folk. "Distansya" () retells the experiences of an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) working in Kuwait named Luzviminda Siapo who had a child back in the Philippines. Her nineteen year-old son, named Raymart, was abducted and killed on March 29, 2017 because their neighbor accused him of peddling marijuana. The song laments on how the government praises OFWs while disregarding the domestic human rights situation. In the song, she questions how someone with a disability can be a drug pusher. This refers to how Raymart suffered from club feet. "Papag" () is about an urban poor family. "Hawak" () is based on the story of couple Jerico and Angel who were killed because of the drug war.
"Giyera Na Bulag" () talks about how the drug war anonymously targets the poor for the said government policy, as well as the anonymity of the perpetrators. It aims to expose how policemen killed many people to meet certain quotas. "Pagsusuma" () sums up and raises questions on the drug war's contradictions. The eight and ninth songs identify and point out to the executioners of the human rights violations. "Neo-Manila" claims and narrates how the police and local government officials are involved in the drug war on the street-level, while "Parasitikong Abusado" () points out that the drug war is big business for the alleged main perpetrators of government fascism, including Duterte himself.
The last three songs call for action. "Walang Maiiwan" () calls the urb |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk%20Ransomware | Kirk Ransomware, or Kirk, is malware. It encrypts files on an infected computer and demands payment for decryption in the cryptocurrency Monero. The ransomware was first discovered in 2017, by Avast researcher Jakub Kroustek.
Description
Kirk Ransomware is a trojan horse program that masquerades as Low Orbit Ion Cannon, an application used for stress testing and denial-of-service attacks. Once activated, Kirk Ransomware searches the infected computer's hard drive for files with certain filename extensions, and encrypts and renames them, adding .kirked to the end of their filenames. When the encryption is finished, a window pops up, displaying an ASCII art image of Captain James T. Kirk and Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series, and informing the user that files have been "encrypted using military grade encryption." "SPOCK TO THE RESCUE!" the ransom note continues, and demands payment in order to receive a decryptor program named Spock. The ransom demanded is initially 50 Monero (worth about $1,175 as of March 2017); if not paid within 48 hours, the demand begins increasing, reaching 500 Monero after two weeks. If the ransom remains unpaid after 30 days, the decryption key is deleted, essentially rendering the encryption irreversible. The ransom note includes a spurious quotation from Spock ("Logic, motherfucker"), and ends with "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER".
Kirk Ransomware is the first known ransomware to demand payment in Monero; most other ransomware has demanded bitcoins. Monero has significantly greater privacy protection than bitcoin, making transactions much more difficult to trace.
A variant of Kirk Ransomware, named Lick Ransomware, was also discovered; it does not contain Star Trek references.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity%20Operating%20System | Unity Operating System (also known as Unified Operating System or UOS, ) is a Chinese Linux distribution developed by UnionTech () based on Deepin, which is based on Debian. It is used in China as part of a government initiative beginning in 2019 to replace foreign-made software such as Microsoft Windows with domestic products.
Development
Three versions are currently under development, a desktop for regular users (Deepin), another for enterprises (UOS) and a server version (UOS). A first beta version was released in and can be downloaded from the official website. A first stable version was released on 14 January 2020.
Support
The operating system is primarily aimed at the Chinese market and is intended to replace Microsoft Windows in the country by 2022, also known as "3-5-2 policy". So far, the focus has therefore been primarily on in house hardware such as that from the semiconductor company Zhaoxin. The whole KX-6000 series is already supported by the desktop version as well as the KH-30000 series for server version.
It was reported on July 23, 2022 that the operating system could support HarmonyOS app file format, hap .app.
Broad support is planned, so platforms such as Loongson, Sunway or ARM are also to be supported.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave%20Taht | Dave Täht (born August 11, 1965) is an American network engineer, musician, lecturer, asteroid exploration advocate, and Internet activist. He is the chief executive officer of TekLibre.
Activity
Täht co-founded the Bufferbloat Project with Jim Gettys, runs the CeroWrt and Make-Wifi-Fast sub-projects, and referees the bufferbloat related mailing lists and related research activities.
With a long running goal of one day building an internet with sufficiently low latency and jitter that "you could plug your piano into the wall and play with a drummer across town", he is a persistent and dedicated explainer of how queues across the internet (and wifi) really work, lecturing at MIT, Stanford, and other internet institutions such as APNIC.
In the early stages of the Bufferbloat project he helped prove that applying advanced AQM and Fair Queuing techniques like (FQ-CoDel) to network packet flows would break essential assumptions in existing low priority congestion controls such as bittorrent and LEDBAT and further, that it didn't matter.
His CeroWrt project showed that advanced algorithms like CoDel, FQ-CoDel, DOCSIS-PIE and Cake were effective at reducing network latency, at no cost in throughput not only at low bandwidths but scaled to 10s of GB/s and could be implemented on inexpensive hardware. CeroWrt project members also helped make OpenWrt ready for IPv6 Launch Day, and pushed all the innovations back into open source.
His successor Make-Wifi-Fast project solved the WiFi performance anomaly by extending the FQ-Codel algorithm to work on multiple WiFi chips in Linux, reducing latency under load by up to a factor of 50.
FQ-CoDel has since become the default network queuing algorithm for ethernet and WiFi in most Linux distributions, and on iOS, and OSX. It is also widely used in packet shapers. Comcast also successfully rolled out the DOCSIS-PIE AQM during the COVID crisis with observed 8-16x reductions in network latency under load across the millions of user devices tested.
In order to complete the make-wifi-fast project, by co-authoring an FCC filing and co-ordinating a worldwide protest with Vint Cerf, and many other early Internet pioneers, Taht successfully fought proposed FCC rules to prohibit the installation of 3rd party firmware on home routers.
He has been intensely critical of the academic network research community, extolling open access, open source code and the value of negative and repeatable results.
As one of the instigators of the IETF AQM and Packet Scheduling working group, he is the co-author of RFC8290, and a contributor to RFC8289 (CODEL), RFC7567, RFC8034, RFC7928, RFC7806, and RFC8033. He also made contributions to the DOCSIS 3.1 standard.
He is a filksinger, often performing songs like "It GPLs me", and "One First Landing" at various computer and science fiction conventions.
He serves on the Commons Conservancy board of directors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackensack%20Meridian%20Health | Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) is a network of healthcare providers in New Jersey, based out of Edison. Members include academic centers, acute care facilities, and research hospitals. Hackensack Meridian Health aims to create one integrated network that changes how healthcare is delivered in New Jersey. The HMH network was formed in 2016 by a merger between Hackensack University Medical Center and Meridian Health. Hackensack Meridian Health is affiliated with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and maintains active teaching programs at its hospitals. After the acquisition of JFK Medical Center in Edison, HMH is now the largest healthcare provider in New Jersey.
About
As of November 2021, HMH operates 17 hospitals, 36,000 team members and more than 500 other facilities including ambulatory care centers, fitness and wellness centers, home health services, rehab centers, and skilled nursing centers spanning from Bergen to Atlantic counties. In Fall 2021, seven of its affiliate hospitals received an A grade from Hospital Safety Grade. It runs 10 clinics at Rite Aid outlets in New Jersey to treat minor health issues and make primary care physicians available for more serious conditions and urgent care needs. In 2021, U.S. News & World Report listed five of the hospitals in the HMH network as "best ranked" in New Jersey.
Technology
HMH has in 2021 become one of the first hospital organizations to completely switch its computing hardware to ChromeOS devices and employ Google Cloud to increase cyber security and deploy machine learning and healthcare artificial intelligence to expedite diagnostic decisions and assist with clinical treatments. Artificial intelligence will reportedly assist in newborn screening, mammography screening, prostate cancer screening, sepsis detection and COVID-19 detection. The increased cyber security of its newly adopted platform responds to a ransomware attack on December 2, 2019, that compromised computer systems and forced administrators to cancel roughly 100 elective medical procedures. The attack lasted five days and "affected anything with computer software." Administrators chose to pay the ransom of an undisclosed amount and released a statement on December 13 saying, "We believe it’s our obligation to protect our communities' access to health care."
COVID-19 response
In 2021, the HMH network was awarded more than $100 million in funds for FEMA for emergency relief and treated more than 10,000 patients. After the CDC approved the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5–11, the first vaccines administered to that age group were at HMH's Jersey Shore University Medical Center. HMH mandated that every of its employees be fully vaccinated by November 15, 2021. Though 70% of all health workers were vaccinated by July, 2021, there was resistance among staff partially due to concerns over vaccination causing sterility.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eps3.3%20metadata.par2 | "eps3.3_metadata.par2" is the fourth episode of the third season of the American drama thriller television series Mr. Robot. It is the 26th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Kyle Bradstreet and directed by series creator Sam Esmail. It originally aired on USA Network on November 1, 2017.
The series follows Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer and hacker with social anxiety disorder, who is recruited by an insurrectionary anarchist known as "Mr. Robot" to join a group of hacktivists called "fsociety". In the episode, Elliot and Darlene try to amend their relationship, while Angela must take matters in her own hands when Elliot continues intervening.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.552 million household viewers and gained a 0.2 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the character development.
Plot
Elliot (Rami Malek) breaks into the safe house, but Darlene (Carly Chaikin) is nowhere to be found. Dominique (Grace Gummer) alerts Darlene as she arrives at the safe house, warning him not to blow her cover. Inside, Elliot questions her about her behavior, telling her he knows about the bugged computer.
Elliot and Darlene go to his apartment, where he trashed in order to check if he installed more bugs. He admits that Stage 2 was never called off and suspects Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) continues working on the project while he sleeps. To keep guard, Darlene agrees to stay in Shayla's empty apartment. Meanwhile, the FBI arrests a man who posted a fsociety video, with Dominique believing that the man actually works for the Dark Army when she mentions Whiterose. Her partner, Norm (Rizwan Manji), believes Whiterose to be just a myth.
At night, Darlene sees Elliot as Mr. Robot leaving his apartment. She follows him and finds him meeting with Angela (Portia Doubleday) and loses them when they get into a taxi. Mr. Robot and Angela get to the warehouse, where an irate Tyrell (Martin Wallström) is waiting. Upon being informed that Elliot was rerouting the records, Tyrell angrily questions the plan, stating he shouldn't have trusted Elliot. Mr. Robot confronts Tyrell, until he starts losing perception of reality. As Angela tries to calm him, he reverts back to Elliot, confused over what he is doing. Angela is then forced to inject him with a tranquilizer, and assures Tyrell that she can help in getting the records within three days.
During a meeting with Irving (Bobby Cannavale), Tyrell shares his frustrations with Stage 2. After feeling motivated, Tyrell states he will move to Ukraine with his family once he is done, and asks Irving to check on Joanna. Angela calls Price (Michael Cristofer), getting him to fire Elliot from E Corp to prevent him from derailing Stage 2. Darlene leaves her apartment, planning to follow a lead without wearing a wire, despite Dominique's concerns.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47th%20Daytime%20Emmy%20Awards | The 47th Daytime Emmy Awards, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), honored the best in U.S. daytime television programming in 2019. The winners in leading categories were presented in a remotely-produced special aired by CBS on June 26, hosted by the panel of the network's daytime talk show The Talk.
The NATAS originally planned to hold a ceremony over three nights for the first time on June 12–14, 2020, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony was cancelled. The nominations, originally scheduled to be announced on April 27, 2020, were also delayed to May 21.
Ceremony information
The 47th Daytime Emmy Awards were originally scheduled for the first time to be presented over three nights, instead of the traditional main ceremony and the separate Creative Arts ceremony, to honor its ever expanding set of award categories. On March 19, 2020, the NATAS postponed the ceremonies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NATAS then announced on April 28 that the awards would be presented at a date to be determined later, in a remotely-produced "virtual" format.
On May 20, the NATAS announced that the winners in leading categories would be presented in a special airing June 26 on CBS. It marked the first time that the Daytime Emmys were broadcast on U.S. TV since 2015 (after being relegated to a webcast), and the ceremony's return to both CBS and broadcast television for the first time since 2011. The special was produced by Associated Television International, which had produced previous Daytime Emmys ceremonies for CBS. The nominees were announced the next day on CBS's daytime talk show The Talk, whose panel would later be announced as hosts of the special.
Some of the additional award categories were announced simultaneously on Twitter, while others are planned to be announced separately later in July 2020. The Spanish language winners have yet to be announced and no clear date has been set.
Award changes
As part of several initiatives regarding gender identity, the NATAS decided to replace both the younger actor and younger actress drama categories with a single gender-neutral Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise%20%28education%20program%29 | Rise is a training, funding and mentorship network created by Eric and Wendy Schmidt’s Schmidt Futures initiative and the Rhodes Trust. Its founders created the programme to identify talented students aged 15-17 who come from any geography around the world and are interested in service and leadership. The scheme aims to develop these young people through scholarships, mentoring, funding and a residential programme.
Background
Since 2006, Eric Schmidt and his wife, Wendy Schmidt, have contributed to many charitable organisations and started philanthropic initiatives of their own, including Schmidt Futures and the Schmidt Family Foundation. The Schmidt’s relationship with the Rhodes Trust came about in 2017, and initially, the couple committed $25 million over three years to establish the post-doctoral Schmidt Science Fellows program. In 2019, the couple pledged a further $1bn to talent causes on an international level.
Program
In recent years, talent has become a primary theme of the Schmidts’ philanthropy, and the couple began financing projects which develop talented people, and networks to support those people.
Upon launching the Rise program, Dr Elizabeth Kiss, the current CEO of the Rhodes Trust, stated, “All the research indicates 15 to 17 is… a pivotal time for self-understanding, brain plasticity, and a moment when you can make all the difference in a person’s trajectory.”
The website for Schmidt Futures states that before their final year of high school participants will be invited to attend a residential fellowship. Participants will also receive other opportunities, including scholarship funding, mentorship and career services.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickelopteris | Mickelopteris is a genus of ferns in the subfamily Cheilanthoideae of the family Pteridaceae with a single species Mickelopteris cordata. Synonyms include Parahemionitis cordata and Hemionitis cordata Roxb. ex Hook. & Grev. The species is native to south-eastern Asia, from India to Taiwan and the Philippines.
The genus name "Parahemionitis" was initially published for M. cordata, but is not accepted by all sources.
Description
Mickelopteris cordata grows from short erect rhizomes covered with brownish narrow scales. The fronds are of two types. Fertile (spore-bearing) fronds have stipes (stalks) that are usually much longer than those of sterile fronds. The blade (lamina) of the frond is usually long by about wide, with a heart-shaped base and a somewhat rounded apex. It is held at an angle to the stipe. Fronds are brownish green on the upper side, brown on the lower side.
Taxonomy
The nomenclature and taxonomy of the species is somewhat tangled. A species of fern native to the Indian subcontinent and other parts of tropical Asia was described in 1828 as Hemionitis cordata. This name was later considered to be a (heterotypic) synonym of Hemionitis arifolia. As this was an older name, being based on Asplenium arifolium published in 1768, the species was known as Hemionitis arifolia. In 1974, John T. Mickel considered that the species he called Hemionitis arifolia might be sufficiently different from the other (American) species placed in Hemionitis to require a new genus. The differences included frond morphology and which flavonoids were present. Molecular phylogenetic studies have since confirmed the distinctiveness of the species.
Accordingly, in 1993, Gopinath Panigrahi created a new genus for the species, Parahemionitis. He typified the genus using Asplenium arifolium Burm.f., and called the sole species Parahemionitis arifolia. However, it has since become clear that the original type of Asplenium arifolium is actually a specimen of a completely different species, Acrostichum aureum, which would mean that Asplenium arifolium is not a synonym of Hemionitis cordata. Three alternative approaches have been taken to fix this problem. In 2015, Mazumdar designated a lectotype and an epitype for Asplenium arifolium, and regarded Panagrahi's use of the name Parahemionitis arifolia as acceptable. In 1997, Christopher R. Fraser-Jenkins regarded Panagrahi's genus name as acceptable, but not the epithet, and called the species Parahemionitis cordata. In 2016, Fraser-Jenkins rejected the genus name, and published a new one, Mickelopteris, with the sole species being called Mickelopteris cordata. , the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World followed Fraser-Jenkins (2016), treating the species as Mickelopteris cordata, and Hemionitis arifolia and Parahemionitis arifolia as a synonyms of Acrostichum aureum.
, while agreeing that Hemionitis arifolia is a synonym of Acrostichum aureum, Plants of the World Online adopted a much broader circumscri |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leland%20Smith | Leland Clayton Smith (August 6, 1925 – December 17, 2013) was an American musician, teacher and computer scientist. He taught at Stanford University for 34 years, and developed the music engraving tool SCORE.
Career
Smith was born in Oakland, California, United States. Showing an early interest in music, after four years of initial study with local teachers he took private lessons in counterpoint, orchestration and composition with Darius Milhaud, who lived near the Smith family. Smith continued studying with Milhaud for two years till he was old enough to join the United States Navy in 1943.
On leaving the Navy in 1946, he studied for a baccalaureate and master's degree in composition under Roger Sessions at University of California, Berkeley, and then went to Paris to study under Olivier Messiaen at the Paris Conservatoire in 1948-9.
Returning to America, he worked predominantly as a bassoonist in New York, but also took occasional work with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, and New York City Ballet. He also assisted Milhaud as a teaching assistant at Mills College from 1951-2. Accepting a teaching position at University of Chicago in 1952, Smith taught there till 1958 when he moved to a teaching and research position at Stanford University.
After six years of teaching harmonic analysis and composition at Stanford, Smith won a Fulbright Scholarship to study for a year in Paris. Returning to Stanford in 1965, Smith joined in the work done by John Chowning, Max Mathews, John Pierce and David Poole on computer synthesized music. In 1966, Smith developed an input syntax for MUSIC V that he called SCORE to enable music to be entered more accurately and efficiently into the new system that the team were developing. This was developed into the independent program he called MSS which was the first computer music typesetting program, and which was further developed into the SCORE program. Smith and Chowning, along with John Grey, Loren Rush and Andy Moorer, subsequently founded the Stanford Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).
Smith composed for most of his life. Reviewing Smith's Woodwind Trio in 1974, Richard Swift commented how '...the long arching lines of the Trio, the sensitive and refined shaping of short movements, the twentieth-century Franco-American sonorities of the instruments make a fitting act of homage to Milhaud, but the voice is always Smith's own...'. Reviewing the two motets in 1976, Swift commented that Smith's music 'commands attention by virtue of its imaginative and expressive power and intelligent craft.'
Retiring from Stanford in 1992, Smith continued to develop SCORE and was an enthusiastic supporter of the local donkey sanctuary, until his death in Palo Alto, California, on December 17, 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search%20for%20the%20Titanic | Search for the Titanic is a graphic adventure developed by Codesmiths and IntraCorp and published by its subsidiary Capstone Software in 1989. It was released for MS-DOS compatible operating systems, then ported to the Commodore 64. Versions for the Apple II and Amiga were planned, but never reached development (or just cancelled and not completed in the case of the announced Apple II port). Accolade, Inc. helped to distribute the game. Much of the gameplay is based on Robert Ballard's expedition to locate the wreck of the RMS Titanic.
Gameplay
The game does oceanographic simulation. The player has to build up reputation and resources by exploring sunken ships on an expedition to find the Titanic. To gain funds, the player needs sponsorship with good reasons to carry out the voyage. If that works out, the player needs the right equipment, adequate supplies, an ideal vessel and competent personnel on a limited budget. Next the player navigates through the sea and finds a suitable place to dive and find a shipwreck. The game includes 75 shipwrecks, over 100 maps and charts and 47 ports to stop at. Problems can occur during the expedition including the crew's health declining, bad weather and running out of supplies and funds. Some of those shipwrecks include Spanish treasure and Noah's Ark.
Development
President of Intracorp, Leigh Rothschild was fascinated by historical shipwrecks and earned a degree in history the University of Miami. Being president of the large electronic company, Rothschild had access to a lot of multimedia. He built up his inspiration from whatever literature and videos on diving and shipwrecks he could dig up. It wasn't until June 1987, that Rothschild actually came up with an idea on the Titanic. For this project he needed recent photos of the shipwreck and expertise from an oceanographer. He turned his attention to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, whom his brother Kenneth had worked with previously and were conveniently located near enough for him to contact on a daily basis. Woods Hole were keen on the idea of a video game based on their exploits and Intracorp got the required rights. At the request of Robert Ballard, Intracorp changed it so that no treasure collecting occurred in the gameplay, in order to set a good example for players and future oceanographers.
Coding the game required the help of Codesmiths programmers Jeff Jones and Sean Puckett. Before their assignment, they did have a keen interest in the Titanic ocean liner. The proposal took ten days to produce. By November 1988, a substantial amount of programming had been completed. Puckett drew the maps of the game by hand. The simulated weather was the hardest feature to implement. All organisation names in the game were created so as not to coincide with real-life companies. Jones and Puckett had difficulty accurately researching the diving equipment, so they had to make educated guesses. Ballard's photos were no good for digitizing in their current f |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W22CH | W22CH, UHF analog channel 22, was a low-powered TBN owned-and-operated television station licensed to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, United States. The station was owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. W22CH's transmitter was located near the junction of KY 91 and Eagle Way (KY 1682) on Hopkinsville's west end.
History
The station signed on the air on December 15, 1987 as W62BH to become the third (fourth all-time) locally-based television outlet to serve the Hopkinsville area. For its first 15 years on the air, the station broadcast on UHF channel 62. Hopkinsville was also home to two other now-defunct low-powered stations, including America One affiliate W43AG (later WKAG-CA) and Kentucky Educational Television-owned W57AJ (later W64AV), a translator of Madisonville-based WKMA-TV. The area was also served by full-powered UHF station WNKJ-TV, but it was shut down due to financial issues.
In 2002, the station's analog signal was reallocated to UHF channel 22, and changing the call letters to W22CH in the process.
In 2010, TBN closed down many of its low-powered repeaters, including W22CH, due to ongoing economic problems. This was also due in part of the rise in digital over-the-air television. The license for W22CH was surrendered to the FCC in early or mid-2011 as per the rule that low-power stations that have been off the air for more than a calendar year would have their license canceled. TBN service remains available on cable and satellite television providers nationwide. Hendersonville, Tennessee-licensed full-power TBN O&O WPGD-TV also has presence in the area as that station's digital signal barely reaches the Hopkinsville area. With the 2011 shutdown of WKAG-CA, WCKV-LD in nearby Clarksville, Tennessee is the only locally-based commercial television station in the area, with most of the Nashville area's full-powered stations, including WPGD, available over-the-air and on cable and satellite providers as Hopkinsville is part of the Nashville DMA. The only other full-power station receivable over-the-air in the area is KET satellite station WKMA-TV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PQDIF | Power Quality Data Interchange Format (PQDIF) is a binary file format specified in IEEE Std. 1159.3 that is used to exchange voltage, current, power, and energy measurements between software applications with a focus on the power quality domain.
PQDIF can be utilized by power quality meters, electric meters, desktop software applications, server software, and web servers. Users of PQDIF files include meter manufacturers, electric utility company engineers, and commercial/industrial consumers of electric power.
PQDIF is defined in a "recommended practice" standard maintained by the IEEE PQDIF Task Force, which is sponsored by the Transmission & Distribution Committee of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.
The file format is designed to represent all power quality phenomena identified in IEEE Std 1159, which is a recommended practice on monitoring electric power quality. PQDIF can be used to represent other power related measurement data and is extensible to other data types as well. The recommended file format includes optional compression using zlib to help reduce disk space and transmission times. The utilization of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUID) to represent each element in the file permits the format to be extensible without the need for a central registration authority.
PQDIF allows storage of the following types of measurements: waveforms, time series value logs (rms voltage, rms current, real/reactive/apparent power, total harmonic distortion, harmonics, flicker, etc.), phasors, frequency spectrums, lightning strikes, histograms, cross-tabulations, and magnitude-duration summary tables for voltage sags, voltage swells, interruptions, voltage spikes and other rapid voltage changes. PQDIF allows storage of information related to the sources that recorded the data, including name, description, location, transducer settings, trigger settings, and more.
A single PQDIF file is a collection of PQDIF records consisting of a Container record, Data Source record, an optional Monitor Settings record, and one or more Observation records. In contrast, a PQDIF stream is a collection of PQDIF records streamed to a client using communication media such as a network connection. A stream presents records such that they are downloaded in the same order as they would be if read from a PQDIF file.
The specification for PQDIF was first published in IEEE Std 1159.3-2003, which was reaffirmed in 2009. A second edition was approved and published by IEEE in 2019. The physical structure of PQDIF remains unchanged between IEEE Std 1159.3-2003 and IEEE Std 1159.3-2019, making PQDIF both backward and forwards compatible.
The 2019 edition of IEEE Std 1159.3 includes an annex explaining the relationship of the PQDIF file format with the IEEE COMTRADE file format. Another annex explains how to represent PQDIF files in XML files. The 2019 edition also explains the relationship between PQDIF and IEC 61850.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2019–20 television season.
Fox was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 11, 2020, followed by The CW on May 14, CBS on May 19, NBC on June 16, and ABC on June 17, 2020.
PBS is not included at all, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included because both network schedules comprise syndicated reruns. This is the last season that The CW did not program primetime on Saturday evenings (however it does offer network programming on Saturdays in the following season).
New series are highlighted in bold.
On January 6, 2021, all of ABC, CBS and NBC's programming was preempted in favor of news coverage of the January 6 United States Capitol attack in Washington D.C.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Each of the major television networks in the United States had initially planned for their upfront presentations to be made to the public in mid-May, a tradition going back to the Golden Age of Television. Due to concerns caused by COVID-19, most major networks and cable network groups canceled their public upfront events due to both public health concerns, and stay-at-home orders which effectively prevented them from going forward. It was expected most of the upfront announcements would be either press releases or virtual video events via videotelephony, and could be delayed due to pilots being unable to be produced, along with an overall decline in advertising. NBC carried traditional upfront content on July 16, 2020, blended in as a part of 30 Rock: A One-Time Special, though a majority of the network's affiliates pre-empted the event (it aired the next day as a special airing across all of NBCUniversal's cable networks at the same time in primetime).
On May 1, the Television Critics Association cancelled its summer 2020 press tour, originally scheduled for July 28 through August 13 (during the now-rescheduled 2020 Summer Olympics), as the organization was unsure it could occur at all due to public gathering restrictions and an anticipated lack of any scripted programming output, even in pilot form, to promote by that time period. The TCA cancellation complicated any plans by the networks to build buzz about their upcoming schedules, while the move of the 2020 Summer Olympics to 2021 nullified any plans NBC had to use the Games to lead into the |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%20Karr%20O%27Connor | Joseph Karr O'Connor (May 23, 1953 – January 3, 2020) was an American computer scientist, accessibility advocate, and a main accessibility contributor to WordPress.
Accessibility contributions
O’Connor became the Accessibility Team representative for WordPress in 2013, leading the team through 2015 and stepping down in 2016. He created the Accessibility Cities initiative, enlisting volunteers from an international group of designers to create free and accessible WordPress themes named after the cities the designers were from. The initiative led to sixteen different accessible themes moving into development. Partially as a result of this initiative, WordPress went from zero to eighteen accessible themes from 2013 to 2014.
O’Connor spoke at many events about WordPress and accessibility, on topics such as how to build accessible WordPress themes, how to build accessible user experience (UX) by creating personas with disabilities, and how to create accessible UX in a WordPress site. O’Connor and Joe Dolson discussed their work on WordPress accessibility in a 2014 episode of the Web Axe podcast. O’Connor was also a featured guest on A Podcast for Everyone, the podcast companion to the book A Web for Everyone. He spoke with co-author Whitney Quesenbery about the importance of improving accessibility in WordPress, given its extensive use as a website authoring platform. “We owe it to our fellow human beings to make things accessible.”
O’Connor was active in other accessibility advocacy and outreach activities. He was founder and organizer of the Los Angeles Accessibility and Inclusive Design group, whose activities included regular events for Global Accessibility Awareness Day. He was a regular attendee of the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference; his participation included presenting on accessibility of Twitter with Dennis Lembrée, creator of Easy Chirp, an accessible alternative to Twitter. O’Connor’s final submission to the CSUN conference was on Accessible Death – Proposal, discussing how to help a family member with intellectual disabilities deal with the death of a parent. He did not live to give the talk.
O’Connor worked on web accessibility at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), Pasadena City College, and California State University, Northridge (CSUN), as well maintained a side business doing web accessibility. He was active with the CSUN Academic Technology Committee, often advocating for better ADA compliance. In 2011, California State University, Northridge was ranked second among 183 colleges and universities in the United States for the accessibility of its website. O’Connor, who was web manager, responded by saying, “This honor, by no means definitive, is nonetheless an indication that we are on the right track. When we create websites, we are mindful of the welfare of all of our students, faculty, staff, and the public.”
O’Connor inspired many in the accessibility community. He was acknowledged by Jared Smith, As |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HJ%20Lu | H.J. Lu is a computer programmer credited with creating the first Linux distribution in 1992, titled Boot/Root. Joe Klemmer described the distribution as follows:
Back in late 1991, when Linux first hit the 'Net, there were no distributions per se. The closest thing was HJ Lu's Boot/Root floppies. They were 5.25" diskettes that could be used to get a Linux system running. You booted from the boot disk and then, when prompted, inserted the root disk. After a while you got a command prompt. Back in those days if you wanted to boot from your hard drive you had to use a hex editor on the master boot record of your disk. Something that was definitely not for the faint of heart. I remember when Erik Ratcliffe wrote the first instructions (this was long before HOWTO files) on how to do just that. It wasn't until later that anything you could call a real distribution appeared.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3P%2BS | The 3P+S Input/Output Module was an S-100 expansion card introduced to the microcomputer market by Processor Technology. It supplied three parallel ports and one serial port, the latter of which conformed to the RS-232C standard. One of the three parallel ports was dedicated to interfacing with the host computer over the S-100 bus, while the other two were available for general use.
An Altair 8800 equipped with a 3P+S could use one of the parallel ports to accept input from a keyboard and another to output to a TV Typewriter, allowing the user to construct an all-in-one machine that did not need an external computer terminal to work. This also left the serial port free, which could be used to drive a teletype machine as a computer printer, or a punch tape system for storage.
Processor Technology later combined the 3P+S with the VDM-1 graphics card in a compact S-100 machine of their own to produce the Sol-20, the first all-in-one mass-produced personal computer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haarlemmermeer%20railway%20lines | The Haarlemmermeer railway lines () are a former network of railway lines in the area between Haarlem, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Leiden. Despite the name they did not all travel over the territory that formerly comprise the Haarlemmermeer lake before it was drained.
History
The first plans for railway lines through the Haarlemmermeer polder were presented in 1864 by mayor Amersfoort, twelve years after the dredging of the lake and creation of the polder. However none of the plans was executed. In 1898 the HESM (Hollandsche Electrische-Spoorweg-Maatschappij, "Holland Electric Railway Company") was established with the goal of building electric railways in the area between South Amsterdam and Haarlem. After the HSM bought up the shares, the plans were changed and this led, in the end, to the establishment of a local network of steam railways.
The lines were built by the HESM. Despite the name including the term "electric", the lines were never electrified. Only steam trains served for passenger traffic.
The first lines opened in 1912, almost a half century after the first plans were drawn up. The lines lay in the area between Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, Alphen aan den Rijn and Nieuwersluis, and were opened between 1912 and 1918. Because of the 1930s Depression, various lines were closed after only two decades. Only the Amsterdam Haarlemmermeerstation – Amstelveen – Aalsmeer and Bovenkerk – Uithoorn – Nieuwersluis lines remained in service for passenger and cargo traffic.
The last passenger train ran in 1950. In 1972 the lines were closed for freight, except for the Amsterdam – Uithoorn route, which remained in service between 1976 and 1981 to transport building materials for the new Schiphollijn (which originally had no connection to the rest of the national railway network) and Uithoorn – Nieuwersluis, which remained in service until 1986 to serve the Koek scrapyard in Mijdrecht, where the Dutch Railways demolished a lot of equipment.
The lines have, in the meantime, all been dug up, with the exception of the Amsterdam – Amstelveen – Bovenkerk line, which was electrified between 1975 and 1997 and is used by the .
In many places there are still the remains of dikes, and various stations and stops are still recognizable and used as residences, including stations in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Aalsmeer, Uithoorn, Hoofddorp, Mijdrecht, Nieuwveen, Wilnis and Aarlanderveen.
In September 2004, the Amstelveen light rail line was extended from Poortwachter to Westwijk and reused the embankment of the old Bovenkerk–Uithoorn line on the curve west of Spinnerij to the south of Westwijk. Plans exist to extend the Amstelveen line to Uithoorn. In Uithoorn part of the old railway dike is in use as a bus lane. Further south, portions of the railway dike have been used as rights of way for new provincial highways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child%20Guidance | Child Guidance was both an evolving 20th-century social construct, sometimes called the Child Guidance Movement, and an influential network of multidisciplinary clinics set up to address the problems of childhood and adolescence. It began in the United States and after World War I spread rapidly to Europe, especially to England, though not to Scotland. It was the first child-centred institutional response to meet perceived child and youth behavioural and mental disorders. It therefore predated the advent of child psychiatry as a medical specialism and of distinct child psychiatric departments as part of modern hospital settings.
Although people working in the child guidance movement were among the first to adopt child psychotherapy as a treatment method and generated a body of mainly psychoanalytic theory on child development based on observation and case studies, they were late in adopting the scientific method.
History
The movement can be dated to 1906 Chicago as a response to juvenile delinquency, when the city was at the forefront of progressive ideas about legislation and treatment. Striving towards civic advancement and supported by the city's interested professionals such as teachers, social workers, lawyers, academics, doctors, community leaders and politicians, the Juvenile Courts and correctional institutions ended the incarceration of children with adults. In 1921-22 using the Juvenile Psychopathic Institute and the Institute for Juvenile Research as models, the American Child Guidance Demonstration Clinics became established.
England's first child guidance clinic was "The East London Child Guidance Clinic" opened on 21 November 1927, under the direction of Dr Emanuel Miller, with assistance from Meyer Fortes. It was established by the Jewish Health Organisation, aided by the LCC, to help children deemed to have emotional, behavioural and educational difficulties. The Clinic was located in the former Jews Free School in Bell Lane, Spitalfields. A second clinic, the London Child Guidance Clinic, opened under Dr William Moodie in 1929 in Islington. It became the country's main centre for training in child guidance. The first child guidance clinic to open in a voluntary hospital was at Guy's Hospital, London in 1930.
The initial model adopted by child guidance clinics in England was to act as a child and adolescent assessment centre staffed by a lead physician, later a child psychiatrist, assisted by an educational psychologist, or sometimes a clinical psychologist and trained social workers. Referrals would come in the main from schools, nurseries, (juvenile) magistrates, police, general practitioners and parents. The process would be to despatch the social workers to find out the social circumstances of the family, diagnose the child, often predicated on maladjustment, prescribe either treatment in situ of the child by the psychologist or referral on to a specialist institution, such as a special school and advise parents (or a cou |

The B21 models are rebadged Convergent Technologies AWS workstations incorporating an Intel 8086 CPU. The B22 models are rebadged IWS workstations. They run the BTOS operating system, which is a version of Convergent's CTOS, as well as CP/M and MS-DOS.
Systems support up to 640 KB of RAM. The B22 included a mass storage unit with a capacity of up to 60 MB.
The Burroughs B25, a rebadged Convergent NGEN system with an Intel 80186 CPU, was introduced in 1983. The B26 was introduced in 1984, and a B28 system followed in 1985 based on the Intel 80286 CPU.
There is also an 80186-based B27 which used an "F-bus" rather than the "X-bus" used on the B25/B26/B28.
A cluster only (no storage) 80186-based B24 was later released and commonly used by bank tellers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%20Taylor%20Fitz-Gibbon | Carol Taylor Fitz-Gibbon (1938 – 2017) was a British educational researcher and analyst. Fitz-Gibbon wrote several books on evaluation, educational data and quantifying attainment. She served as the Director of the Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring from 1989 to 2003.
Early life and education
Fitz-Gibbon was born Carol Taylor in Manchester in 1938. She was awarded a state scholarship which allowed her to study physics and geography at the University of London. After graduating Fitz-Gibbon trained as a teacher, and began teaching physics in East London. In 1962 Fitz-Gibbon moved to the United States, where she continued teaching until 1970. She started working toward a master's degree in education research. She was awarded a grant from the United States Department of Education to study gifted children. This eventually inspired the topic of her PhD study, on peer tutoring in inner-city schools. She earned her doctoral degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1975. She identified the power of cross-age tutoring as an effective intervention and continued to promote it throughout her life.
Research and career
Fitz-Gibbon returned to the United Kingdom in 1976, where she was appointed a lecturer at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. She became interested in evidence-based medicine, and how similar approaches could be used in education policy and evaluation.
She moved to Newcastle University in 1977, where she was promoted to Professor in 1991. Fitz-Gibbon invented the concept that came to be known as value added. In 1983 she launched the A-Level Information System (Alis) an adapted assessment that supports students as they work for their GCE Advanced Level exams. She developed two additional information systems (MidYIS and Yellis), which supported teachers in collecting and analysing student data. Fitz-Gibbon would not allow schools or policy makers to use Alis to compare the performance of schools. From 1989 to 2003 Fitz-Gibbon served as Director of the Curriculum, Evaluation and Management Centre (now Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring). The CEM was originally located at Newcastle University, and moved with Fitz-Gibbon when she moved to Durham. Fitz-Gibbon was appointed Professor of Education at Durham University in 1996.
At Durham Fitz-Gibbon became somewhat of an activist in education evaluation. She was increasingly critical of the way that Ofsted evaluated schools, and established the Office for Standards in Inspection (OFSTIN) to "inspect the inspectors". She did not think that the inspection methodology proposed by Ofsted met appropriate research standards, and that sufficient validation of Ofsted's approach had not been provided. In 1999 she presented evidence to the Parliamentary Select Committee, calling Ofsted a "flawed system". She led the Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring (CEM) until her retirement in 2003.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet%20on%20the%20Holodeck | Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace is a 1997 book by Janet H. Murray about digital technology's influence on the development of narrative. Murray analyzes interactive cinema, hypertext fiction, and the future of storytelling. In this book, Murray explores how narratives may change in stories based on new interactive mediums. Murray discusses her fears of storytelling as well as boundaries that we must set, the four essential properties of digital environments, and accurately predicts new media genres such as MUDs, 3-D films, etc.
Background
After Janet Murray earned her bachelor's degree, she became employed at IBM, where she would be surrounded by a virtual environment that was more technologically advanced than what most people experienced in their daily lives. Murray saved up money from the position to go and attend graduate school at Harvard University as she would later go on to graduate with her Ph.D. in English. After her newfound perspective in English she taught at Georgia Tech where she discovered games like Zork and Eliza, which were presented to her by her students in the 1980s. This got her interested in games studies where she pondered how new interactive interfaces could mesh with narrative formats. She began to combine her expertise in technology and English as she contemplated ways in which a new form of storytelling could arise. This was the inspiration that led to her writing Hamlet on the Holodeck.
Synopsis
Hamlet on the Holodeck is made of an introduction and four parts, in which Murray examines storytelling mediums. In part one, "A New Medium for Storytelling", Murray examines the use of the holodeck as it first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation and the holonovel Janeway Lambda One, which was used by Starfleet Captain Kathryn Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager as an escape from her responsibilities. Murray states that this illustrates the future of storytelling and that the holodeck is "an optimistic technology for exploring inner life." She also examines works that have multiple stories within a single story described as a multiform story and identifies four essential properties of digital media: procedural, participatory, spatial, and encyclopedic.
In part 2, "The Aesthetics of the Medium", Murray examines immersive experiences, which she describes as fragile and easily disrupted. She also explores agency, which she defines as "the satisfying power to take meaningful action and see the results of our decisions and choices" and the ability of technology to transform anything digital. In the following parts, "Procedural Authorship" and "New Beauty, New Truth", Murray discusses the impact of users being able to interact with a multiform plot, which she feels are more appealing and satisfying in the new digital environment. She also examines technology via chatbots such as Julia and the possible future of the cyberdrama and its many formats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOLOG | GOLOG is a high-level logic programming language for the specification and execution of complex actions in dynamical domains. It is based on the situation calculus. It is a first-order logical language for reasoning about action and change. GOLOG was developed at the University of Toronto.
History
The concept of situation calculus on which the GOLOG programming language is based was first proposed by John McCarthy in 1963.
Language
A GOLOG interpreter automatically maintains a direct characterization of the dynamic world being modeled, on the basis of user supplied axioms about preconditions, effects of actions and the initial state of the world. This allows the application to reason about the condition of the world and consider the impacts of different potential actions before focusing on a specific action.
Golog is a logic programming language and is very different from conventional programming languages. A procedural programming language like C defines the execution of statements in advance. The programmer creates a subroutine which consists of statements, and the computer executes each statement in a linear order. In contrast, fifth-generation programming languages like Golog are working with an abstract model with which the interpreter can generate the sequence of actions. The source code defines the problem and it is up to the solver to find the next action. This approach can facilitate the management of complex problems from the domain of robotics.
A Golog program defines the state space in which the agent is allowed to operate. A path in the symbolic domain is found with state space search. To speed up the process, Golog programs are realized as hierarchical task networks.
Apart from the original Golog language, there are some extensions available. The ConGolog language provides concurrency and interrupts. Other dialects like IndiGolog and Readylog were created for real time applications in which sensor readings are updated on the fly.
Uses
Golog has been used to model the behavior of autonomous agents. In addition to a logic-based action formalism for describing the environment and the effects of basic actions, they enable the construction of complex actions using typical programming language constructs.
It is also used for applications in high level control of robots and industrial processes, virtual agents, discrete event simulation etc. It can be also used to develop BDI (Belief Desire Intention)-style agent systems.
Planning and scripting
In contrast to the Planning Domain Definition Language, Golog supports planning and scripting as well. Planning means that a goal state in the world model is defined, and the solver brings a logical system into this state. Behavior scripting implements reactive procedures, which are running as a computer program.
For example, suppose the idea is to authoring a story. The user defines what should be true at the end of the plot. A solver gets started and applies possible actions to the cur |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation%20House | Annunciation House is a network of shelters located in El Paso, Texas. It primarily provides assistance to newly arrived migrants from Central America. Their facilities provide food, sleeping accommodation, and referrals for legal and medical support. The organisation has close links to local faith communities, particularly the Catholic Church. Annunciation House has received international attention and news-coverage as a result of incidents related to the 2014 American immigration crisis, the Trump administration family separation policy, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, and the National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States. As of January 2020, Rubén Garcia has been Director of the shelter for more than 40 years.
Activities
The majority of people arriving at Annunciation House come after being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or the US Border Patrol.
The organisation provides food, water, shelter, family reunification, and referral to legal and medical services. Annunciation House operates on both sides of the Mexico-US border.
History
Foundation
Discussions concerning the founding of Annunciation House began in 1976. The founding principles included that any services and facilities provided through the shelter would be free, that those involved in the operation of the shelter would be unpaid, and the shelter would rely on donations rather than permanent funding sources. Additionally, services were to be offered to people who were not supported by existing programs. In practice, this would include the homeless poor, and undocumented people. The first location was acquired in autumn 1977, through the Diocese of El Paso loaning a vacant building. The first volunteers moved into the building on February 3, 1978. In the early 1990s, Annunciation House developed a program called the 'Border Awareness Experience' which facilitated encounters between participants, people, and groups on both side of the US-Mexican border.
The Shooting of Juan Patricio Peraza
On February 22, 2003, a 19 year-old undocumented person from Mexico who was staying at Annunciation House, Juan Patricio Peraza, was shot and killed near to the shelter by a Border Patrol agent. At 9:00AM, Juan Patricio Peraza was disposing of trash outside of the shelter when he was stopped and questioned by two uniformed Border Patrol agents. Juan Patricio then fled when a volunteer came outside to ask what was happening. A Border Patrol agent caught Juan Patricio and hit his head with a baton. Juan Patricio continued to flee and found a steel pipe which he raised above his head. The agent who was present did not shoot but called for backup. Four other agents then arrived and surrounded Juan Patricio. A sixth agent, Vernon Billings, then arrived and after 45 seconds he fired two shots at Juan Patricio.
During the 2008 civil trial which followed the shooting, Harold Brown, a lawyer representing the Border Patrol agents, "argued that every agen |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HaHa%20Nick | HaHa Nick (also spelled HAHA Nick; ) was a television programming block co-produced by Nickelodeon and Shanghai Media Group (SMG). It consisted of original live-action host programs and several of Nickelodeon's flagship American shows, dubbed in Mandarin. It aired on multiple SMG channels, mainly their children's network, Oriental.
The block began development in March 2004, following a change in China's media regulations that allowed foreign ownership of televised content. Sumner Redstone, the chairman of Nickelodeon's parent company Viacom, oversaw the creation of the block. HaHa Nick marked the first time that a foreign investor took an equity stake in a major Chinese content producer. The block premiered on 1 May 2005, and stopped airing in October 2007. It ran for 6 hours daily, with start and end times depending on the day of the week.
Around 100 episodes of the block's original host programs were produced. The on-air continuity featured the host characters from these programs, in addition to original animation created by local Shanghai studios. Dubbed content included Oobi, Blue's Clues, ChalkZone, Eureka's Castle and The Fairly OddParents. After HaHa Nick stopped airing, two of the host shows were retooled for SMG without Nickelodeon's involvement.
History
Creation
The creation of HaHa Nick was first announced in March 2004. China's State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television had recently passed new legislation that allowed foreign ownership of television content. This made Viacom, Nickelodeon's parent company, "jump at the opportunity" to establish a partnership with a major Chinese TV station. Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone visited Shanghai in March 2004 to discuss a Nickelodeon-branded programming block with Shanghai Media Group. Negotiations continued until November 2004, when Nickelodeon and SMG formally ratified their partnership. The venture was planned to have an authorized capital of $6 million. By establishing HaHa Nick, Nickelodeon became the first foreign investor to take an equity stake in a Chinese content producer.
To comply with government regulations, Viacom only held a 49 percent stake in HaHa Nick. Both Viacom and SMG sold advertising and shared revenue from the block. MTV Networks chairman Bill Roedy called HaHa Nick a "strategically significant development for MTV's and Nickelodeon's positions in China," noting that "China has the creative talent to become one of the world's leading animation hubs, and HaHa Nick is tapping into the local industry."
The Guardian reported that Nickelodeon would also produce a parallel block for Beijing Television, but Viacom denied this, stating that HaHa Nick was their only programming venture to date in China.
Programming
Nickelodeon supplied SMG with raw copies of their flagship American shows, beginning with Oobi (which was localized as 小手乌比, meaning "Little Hand Oobi") and Blue's Clues. SMG translated the scripts into Mandarin and recorded Mandarin voice-overs at th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leakage%20%28machine%20learning%29 | In statistics and machine learning, leakage (also known as data leakage or target leakage) is the use of information in the model training process which would not be expected to be available at prediction time, causing the predictive scores (metrics) to overestimate the model's utility when run in a production environment.
Leakage is often subtle and indirect, making it hard to detect and eliminate. Leakage can cause a statistician or modeler to select a suboptimal model, which could be outperformed by a leakage-free model.
Leakage modes
Leakage can occur in many steps in the machine learning process. The leakage causes can be sub-classified into two possible sources of leakage for a model: features and training examples.
Feature leakage
Feature or column-wise leakage is caused by the inclusion of columns which are one of the following: a duplicate label, a proxy for the label, or the label itself. These features, known as anachronisms, will not be available when the model is used for predictions, and result in leakage if included when the model is trained.
For example, including a "MonthlySalary" column when predicting "YearlySalary"; or "MinutesLate" when predicting "IsLate".
Training example leakage
Row-wise leakage is caused by improper sharing of information between rows of data. Types of row-wise leakage include:
Premature featurization; leaking from premature featurization before Cross-validation/Train/Test split (must fit MinMax/ngrams/etc on only the train split, then transform the test set)
Duplicate rows between train/validation/test (e.g. oversampling a dataset to pad its size before splitting; e.g. different rotations/augmentations of a single image; bootstrap sampling before splitting; or duplicating rows to up sample the minority class)
Non-i.i.d. data
Time leakage (e.g. splitting a time-series dataset randomly instead of newer data in test set using a TrainTest split or rolling-origin cross validation)
Group leakage—not including a grouping split column (e.g. Andrew Ng's group had 100k x-rays of 30k patients, meaning ~3 images per patient. The paper used random splitting instead of ensuring that all images of a patient was in the same split. Hence the model partially memorized the patients instead of learning to recognize pneumonia in chest x-rays.)
A 2023 review found data leakage to be "a widespread failure mode in machine-learning (ML)-based science", having affected at least 294 academic publications across 17 disciplines, and causing a potential reproducibility crisis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London%20Power%20Tunnels | London Power Tunnels is a project by National Grid to reinforce the electricity transmission network in London, UK, by constructing more than 60 km of new deep-level tunnels carrying high-voltage cables.
The new network of tunnels replaces a series of ageing power cables, most of which were buried directly beneath roads. These were becoming unreliable, difficult to maintain without disrupting traffic and were unable to meet future demand for electricity. The new tunnels allow the power cables to be upgraded and maintained without disruption to traffic and residents on the surface.
The project is divided into two phases: the first phase involved constructing tunnels connecting substations at Wimbledon, Hackney and Willesden and was completed in 2018. The second phase involves linking Wimbledon substation with Crayford and is expected to be completed in 2026.
Phase 1
The first phase involved constructing 32 km of tunnels linking substations from Wimbledon in the south west to Hackney in north east of London, at a cost of £1 . The 3–4 m diameter tunnels were dug by tunnel boring machines and run 20–60 m below street level. The tunnels were constructed by a joint venture between Costain Group and Skanska.
This phase linked Wimbledon and Hackney to substations at Willesden, St John's Wood, St Pancras, and Islington. It also involved the construction of two new substations at Seven Sisters Road in Highbury, and at Kensal Green, to feed traction power to Crossrail.
As well as the main power transmission circuits for the National Grid, the tunnels also carry circuits from Islington substation to St Pancras and Seven Sisters Road, forming part of the London power distribution network operated by UK Power Networks.
Construction began in February 2011 and the first section was energised five years later in February 2016. The project was officially opened by Prince Charles in February 2018.
Phase 2
Construction of the second phase (known as LPT2) started in spring 2020 and will span 32.5 km from Wimbledon to Crayford in south-east London, connecting to existing substations at New Cross, Kidbrooke, and Hurst. Access shafts will be constructed at King's Avenue in Brixton and at Eltham, and a new substation will be constructed at Bengeworth Road in Lambeth.
The tunnels will be between 3–3.5 m in diameter, 10–63 m below street level, with most being around 30 m deep. The project was initially planned to cost £750m, and is now expected to cost £1 billion.
The contract for the second phase was awarded to a joint venture between Murphy Group and Hochtief in December 2019. Construction on this phase started in May 2021, tunnelling was completed in October 2023, and the project is expected to become operational in 2026.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved%20Layer%202%20Protocol | IL2P (Improved Layer 2 Protocol) is a data link layer protocol originally derived from layer 2 of the X.25 protocol suite and designed for use by amateur radio operators. It is used exclusively on amateur packet radio networks.
IL2P occupies the data link layer, the second layer of the OSI model. It is responsible for establishing link-layer connections, transferring data encapsulated in frames between nodes, and detecting errors introduced by the communications channel.
The Improved Layer 2 Protocol (IL2P) was created by Nino Carrillo, KK4HEJ, based on AX.25 version 2.0 and implements Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction for greater accuracy and throughput than either AX.25 or FX.25. Specifically, in order to achieve greater stability on link speeds higher than 1200 baud.
IL2P can be used with a variety of modulation methods including AFSK and GFSK. The direwolf software TNC contains the first open source implementation of the protocol.
IL2P Specification
The IL2P draft specification v0.5 was published via the Terrestrial Amateur Radio Packet Network (TARPN) on June 10, 2022.
As of version 0.5, the Weak-Signal-Extensions were added which adds several features to the protocols, intended primarily for SSB links. The automatic ID transmission for the FM/1200-baud and faster modes is still in place, but is not enabled if these lower speed weak-signal SSB modes are selected.
Implementations
IL2P was first implemented in the closed source and proprietary ninoTNC to solve for lossy network links due to low Signal-to-noise ratio or weak signal strength.
The specification itself outlines several design goals including:
Forward error correction
Eliminating bit-stuffing
Streamlining the AX.25 header format
Improved packet detection in the absence of Decode (DCD) and for open-squelch receive
Produce a bitstream suitable for modulation on various physical layers
Avoid bit-error-amplifying methods (differential encoding and free-running LFSRs)
Increase efficiency and simplicity over FX.25 Forward Error Correction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green%20deployment | In software engineering, blue–green (also blue/green) deployment is a method of installing changes to a web, app, or database server by swapping alternating production and staging servers.
Overview
In blue–green deployments, two servers are maintained: a "blue" server and a "green" server. At any given time, only one server is handling requests (e.g., being pointed to by the DNS). For example, public requests may be routed to the blue server, making it the production server and the green server the staging server, which can only be accessed on a private network. Changes are installed on the non-live server, which is then tested through the private network to verify the changes work as expected. Once verified, the non-live server is swapped with the live server, effectively making the deployed changes live.
Using this method of software deployment offers the ability to quickly roll back to a previous state if anything goes wrong. This rollback is achieved by simply routing traffic back to the previous live server, which still does not have the deployed changes. An additional benefit to the blue–green method of deployment is the reduced downtime for the server. Because requests are routed instantly from one server to the other, there is ideally no period where requests will be unfulfilled.
The blue–green deployment technique is often contrasted with the canary release deployment technique.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobot | Xenobots, named after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), are synthetic lifeforms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues. Whether xenobots are robots, organisms, or something else entirely remains a subject of debate among scientists.
Existing xenobots
The first xenobots were built by Douglas Blackiston according to blueprints generated by an AI program, which was developed by Sam Kriegman.
Xenobots built to date have been less than wide and composed of just two things:
skin cells and heart muscle cells, both of which are derived from stem cells harvested from early (blastula stage) frog embryos.
The skin cells provide rigid support and the heart cells act as small motors, contracting and expanding in volume to propel the xenobot forward.
The shape of a xenobot's body, and its distribution of skin and heart cells, are automatically designed in simulation to perform a specific task, using a process of trial and error (an evolutionary algorithm).
Xenobots have been designed to walk, swim, push pellets, carry payloads, and work together in a swarm to aggregate debris scattered along the surface of their dish into neat piles.
They can survive for weeks without food and heal themselves after lacerations.
Other kinds of motors and sensors have been incorporated into xenobots.
Instead of heart muscle, xenobots can grow patches of cilia and use them as small oars for swimming.
However, cilia-driven xenobot locomotion is currently less controllable than cardiac-driven xenobot locomotion.
An RNA molecule can also be introduced to xenobots to give them molecular memory: if exposed to specific kind of light during behavior, they will glow a prespecified color when viewed under a fluorescence microscope.
Xenobots can also self-replicate. Xenobots can gather loose cells in their environment, forming them into new xenobots with the same capability.
Potential applications
Currently, xenobots are primarily used as a scientific tool to understand how cells cooperate to build complex bodies during morphogenesis. However, the behavior and biocompatibility of current xenobots suggest several potential applications to which they may be put in the future.
Given that xenobots are composed solely of frog cells, they are biodegradable.
And as swarms of xenobots tend to work together to push microscopic pellets in their dish into central piles,
it has been speculated that future xenobots might be able do the same thing with microplastics in the ocean:
find and aggregate tiny bits of plastic into a large ball of plastic that a traditional boat or drone can gather and bring to a recycling center.
Unlike traditional technologies, xenobots do not add additional pollution as they work and degrade:
they behave using energy from fat and protein naturally stored in their tissue, which lasts about a week, at which point they simply turn into dead skin cells.

History
There is a railway gate between Navsari and Dandi on the way to Dandi. It is mostly closed due to high traffic. Gandhi Smriti railway station is located right next to it. Gandhi Smriti railway station is associated with Gandhiji's memories. Therefore, it is named as "Gandhi Smriti".
After the Dandi March started from Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930, Gandhiji spent 14 April to 4 May in a hut built under a plum tree in Karadi village near Dandi. He now had to travel from Karadi to the salt field of Dharasana. The British police arrested him from Karadi on 4 May. Gandhiji was brought from Karadi to Hansapore. Frontier Mail was stopped at 1.30 in the night to take it by train to Mumbai. The surrounding villages had fought in memory of that day and as a result "Gandhi Smriti railway station" was started on 15 August 1997.
