https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20for%20Progress | Data for Progress (DFP) is an American left-wing think tank, polling firm, and political advocacy group. Until his dismissal in November 2022, the organization was headed by data scientist and activist Sean McElwee, who co-founded the organization in 2018.
Affiliated with the progressive movement, Data for Progress has released reports and conducted polling on policy matters such as proposals for a Green New Deal. Following the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, Data for Progress has been described as an influential force among progressives in the Democratic Party.
History and mission
Data for Progress was founded in 2018 by political activist Sean McElwee, computational scientist Colin McAuliffe, and political scientist Jon Green.
Data for Progress has been credited by The Atlantic for releasing one of the first reports on the Green New Deal.
McElwee has stated that he envisions Data for Progress to serve as a "one-stop shop" for left-wing policy development, polling, and using media to gain public recognition for progressive goals.
Data for Progress has become subject to criticism from some members of the American Left, who argue it is insufficiently critical of the party establishment. Reception to the organization was noted in a 2021 article in The New York Times, which highlighted Data for Progress's unusually fast rise to influence:President Biden mentions it in private calls. The White House reads its work. And Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, teams up with its leaders for news conferences, blog posts and legislation. The embrace of Data for Progress by the highest ranks of the Democratic Party is a coming-of-age moment for a left-leaning polling firm and think tank that is barely three years old.In 2021, vice president of policy & strategy Julian Brave NoiseCat was named to Time magazine's Time 100 Next list of emerging global leaders.
Polling
Data for Progress regularly conducts election polling, especially for primary elections. In the 2020 race for New York's 16th congressional district, Data for Progress was the sole public pollster to show challenger Jamaal Bowman lead incumbent Eliot Engel. In 2021, the firm conducted polling that found a majority of Democratic voters in Arizona would favor a primary challenge to Senator Kyrsten Sinema due to her opposition to some of the Biden administration's measures in Congress.
In the 2020 presidential cycle, Data for Progress's polling on viewers' response to the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was covered by the Washington Post. Following the 2020 presidential election, the New York Times published a piece titled "Polling's Prognosis: Wary Conservatives and Eager Liberals" regarding Data for Progress's polling outfit. The article stated:Data for Progress's results have been on the more accurate side among its peers, though it relies entirely on so-called nonprobability methods [that] haven't gained full acceptance as an industry |

Education
In 2004, Katja Hose completed her master's degree in computer science at the Ilmenau University of Technology in Germany. In 2009 she received her PhD in computer science - also from Ilmenau University of Technology.
Career
Since 2012, Katja Hose has been affiliated with Aalborg University. In 2018, she was appointed as a professor in computer science after having received a grant from the Poul Due Jensen Foundation. Katja Hose researches web science and is involved in the fields of big data, machine learning, and semantic technology.
Her research is based on examining vast amounts of open data which has not been used in prior research. By doing so, this method of research is able to provide her results with more accurate and reliable information.
Furthermore, her work is targeted at creating the best possible conditions for fact-checking by enabling machines to automatically find, process and interpret information. Thereby, this technology functions somewhat like a personal digital assistant, however, Hose's research will be based on data available to the public and will not be bound to a specific corporation or service provider.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series; no new series, but only one series is canceled after the 2019–20 season are included at present, as the daytime schedules of the four major networks that offer morning and/or afternoon programming is expected to remain consistent with the prior television season.
Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are MyNetworkTV (as the programming service also does not offer daytime programs of any kind), and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns). Fox does not air network programming on weekdays. This is the last season in which The CW (which does not carry programming on Sunday mornings or afternoons) would program a daytime hour on weekdays.

Schedule
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
All sporting events airs live in all time zones in U.S. Eastern time, with local programming by affiliates in western time zones after game completion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge-On | Edge-On is an adventure published by Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE) in 1990 for the near-future science fiction role-playing game Cyberspace.
Description
Edge-On includes four unrelated scenarios for Cyberspace. They provide only a framework, requiring gamemasters to provide added detail for optimal play.
"Network 69 takes the fall": The player-characters are hired by media firm Channel 32 to steal data on future programs from rival Channel 69.
"Ward, I'm Worried": The player-characters are hired by a mega-corporation to find a missing scientist, bringing them in contact with the Fusers gang in the slums of San Francisco, and the Fusers' cybernetic leader.
"Safety Violation": The player-characters are hired by Okira Corporation to sabotage an oil rig owned by rival New Edison. After they start the explosives' timers, an earthquake cuts off their line of escape.
"Unscheduled Layover": During a courier mission, the player-characters' shuttle crashes in the Amazon rainforest, and they discover an ancient Mayan city transformed into a secret base.
Reviewer Stephan Wieck spoke positively about scenarios No. 1 and 3, stating that "Safety Violation" had the best plot. He felt scenarios No. 2 and 4 may have been insufficiently developed.
The book also includes guidelines showing how to link the scenarios to one another.
Publication history
ICE first published Cyberspace in 1989. The game's first supplement, Edge-On, subtitled Cyberventure Mission File #1, was published the following year, a 48-page softcover book written by Terry Amthor, with interior art by Kevin Barrett, Angela Bostick, Dell Harris, Rick Lowry, and Chuck Muchowa, and cover art by Janet Aulisio-Dannheiser.
Reception
Stephan Wieck reviewed the product in the June–July 1990 issue of White Wolf. He rated it at 3 of 5 points, stating that there was "some good stuff" but "requires additional work".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iw%C3%A1j%C3%BA | Iwájú () is an upcoming computer-animated television series produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the Pan-African British-based entertainment company Kugali Media for the streaming service Disney+. It is created and directed by Ziki Nelson. The series is the first "original long-form animated series" produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios in its history. The title of the series, iwájú, roughly translates to "the future" in the Yoruba language (literally "front-facing").
Originally a series of shorts, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Kugali Media were developing the long-form series for Disney+ by December 2020, with Nelson on board. The story draws inspiration from (and is set in) the city of Lagos, Nigeria, due to Lagos being "the culture capital of Nigeria", and due to both its mainland and island areas having "a unique, distinct feel" that the creative team felt provided "an interesting base for the story". Cinesite was announced to co-produce the series in September 2021, with pre-production already underway at Cinesite Montreal. Production began in May 2022. Animation is provided by both Cinesite's Montreal and London facilities and Disney Animation's Vancouver studio, with pre-production and storyboard supervision at Disney's Burbank studio.
Iwájú is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in 2023.
Synopsis
Set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria, the series will explore "deep themes of class, innocence and challenging the status quo".
Production
Development
Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer Jennifer Lee read an article on BBC about Kugali Media, a British-based company founded by African artists, saying that they wanted to "kick Disney's arse". Intrigued by the company's desire to create and tell African stories, she approached them to develop together an original long-form science fiction animated project for The Walt Disney Company's streaming service, Disney+. The producers originally planned to create a series of shorts, but "each idea was an epic feature", so they chose to create a series instead.
On December 10, 2020, Lee announced that Walt Disney Animation Studios and Kugali Media would be co-producing a new original animated series for Disney+, titled Iwájú. It is Walt Disney Animation Studios' first original animated series, as most of Disney's television projectsoriginal or based on pre-existing IPare produced by Disney Television Animation. She described the collaboration between both companies as a "first of its kind collaboration". The show is created and directed by Ziki Nelson. The title of the series, iwájú, roughly translates to "the future" in the Yoruba language (literally "front-facing").
In February 2021, the Kugali Media team said that Iwájú is not like World of Wakanda, with Kugali Media CEO Ziki Nelson saying they "took a real African city" (Lagos, Nigeria) and found ways to adapt it using their imagination, with Hamid Ibrahim, the creative director, clarifying that Disney Animation let th |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win%20or%20Lose%20%28TV%20series%29 | Win or Lose is an upcoming American computer-animated television series produced by Pixar Animation Studios for the streaming service Disney+. The studio's first original long-form animated series, it was created, written, and directed by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, who also served as executive producers with Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, and Lindsey Collins, and produced by David Lally. The series revolves around a co-ed softball team at middle school named the Pickles in the week leading up to their big championship game, with each episode showing the perspective of each member in the same events, each reflected in a unique visual style.
The series stars Will Forte, Milan Ray, and Rosa Salazar. Pixar was developing the long-form original series following the creation of Disney+. It was officially announced in December 2020, during Disney's Investor Day, with Hobson and Yates on board who conceived the idea. Win or Lose draws inspiration from the conversations between Hobson and Yates, who would have very different reactions to the exact same events upon working on Toy Story 4 (2019). The animation appears to shift, distinguishing itself further from usual fare in each episode, with Brendan Beesley, Brandon Kern, and Tom Zach as the heads of animation. Docter described the series as "a comedy about love, rivalry, and the challenges we all face in our struggles to win at life". Its musical score was composed by Ramin Djawadi.
Win or Lose is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in December 2023, and will consist of eight episodes.
Synopsis
Win or Lose follows a co-ed middle school softball team called the Pickles in the week leading up to their big championship game. Each 20-minute episode takes the same events from one different member of the Pickles and their perspective as the game approaches, such as players, their parents, and the umpire, with two stories being showcased in particular.
Voice cast and characters
Main
Will Forte as Coach Dan, the coach of the softball team known as the Pickles.
Milan Ray as Rochelle, the catcher who is having a bad day when everything goes wrong. Despite this, she is the excellent student who takes the initiative in everything in her life. The character is described as a "teenage CEO".
Rosa Salazar as Vanessa, Rochelle's single mother.
Other characters set to appear included Frank, the umpire who struggles due to his parents yelling at him for foul calls; and a selfish pitcher who cares about himself until his episode reveals that he is in love with a girl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth%20Oversimplified%20Programming%20Experiment | DOPE, short for Dartmouth Oversimplified Programming Experiment, was a simple programming language designed by John Kemény in 1962 to offer students a transition from flow-charting to programming the LGP-30. Lessons learned from implementing DOPE were subsequently applied to the invention and development of BASIC.
Description
Each statement was designed to correspond to a flowchart operation and consisted of a numeric line number, an operation, and the required operands:
7 + A B C
10 SIN X Z
The final variable specified the destination for the computation. The above program corresponds in functionality to the later BASIC program:
DOPE might be the first programming language to require every statement to have a line number, predating JOSS and BASIC.
The language was case insensitive.
Variable names were a single letter A to Z, or a letter followed by a digit (A0 to Z9). As with Fortran, different letters represented different variable types. Variables starting with letters A to D were floating point, as were variables from I to Z; variables E, F, G, and H each were defined as vectors with components from 1 to 16.
The language was used by only one freshman computing class. Kemeny collaborated with high school student Sidney Marshall (taking freshman calculus) to develop the language.
Legacy
According to Thomas Kurtz, a co-inventor of BASIC, "Though not a success in itself, DOPE presaged BASIC. DOPE provided default vectors, default printing formats, and general input formats. Line numbers doubled as jump targets."
The language had a number of other features and innovations that were carried over into BASIC:
Variable names were either a letter or a letter followed by a digit
Arrays (vectors) did not have to be declared and had a default size (16 instead of 10)
Every line required a numeric label*
Lines were sorted in numeric order*
Every line begin with a keyword*
Function names were three letters long*
The only loop construct was a for-loop
Unlike either Fortran or Algol 60.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablation%20%28artificial%20intelligence%29 | In artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), ablation is the removal of a component of an AI system. An ablation study investigates the performance of an AI system by removing certain components to understand the contribution of the component to the overall system.
The term is an analogy with biology (removal of components of an organism), and is particularly used in the analysis of artificial neural nets by analogy with ablative brain surgery. Other analogies include other neuroscience biological systems such as Drosophilla central nervous system and the vertebrate brain.
Ablation studies require that a system exhibit graceful degradation: the system must continue to function even when certain components are missing or degraded. According to some researchers, ablation studies have been deemed a convenient technique in investigating artificial intelligence and its durability to structural damages.
Ablation studies damage and/or remove certain components in a controlled setting to investigate all possible outcomes of system failure; this characterizes how each action impacts the system's overall performance and capabilities. The ablation process can be used to test systems that perform tasks such as speech recognition, visual object recognition, and robot control.
History
The term is credited to Allen Newell, one of the founders of artificial intelligence, who used it in his 1974 tutorial on speech recognition, published in . The term is by analogy with ablation in biology. The motivation was that, while individual components are engineered, the contribution of an individual component to the overall system performance is not clear; removing components allows this analysis.
Newell compared the human brain to artificial computers. With this in thought, Newell saw both as knowledge systems whereas procedures such as ablation can be performed on both to test certain hypotheses.

It is an animated show about a gang of zoo critters living free and hanging out after the end of the world. The season one finale aired on October 31.
Plot
Wild Life is "a show about animal friends just trying to stay alive after the apocalypse. Together, they come up with elaborate schemes to entertain themselves and pretty much just keep from going insane".
Cast and characters
John Paul Reynolds as Glenn
Claudia O'Doherty as Marny
Baron Vaughn as Hudson
Reggie Watts as Darby
SkittLeZ Ortiz as Debbie
Natalie Palamides as Viv
Episodes
Production
Development
Wild Life was announced as part of the first efforts of Syfy to create original programming for its TZGZ block, with a 15-minute pilot ordered in January 2020. In April of the same year, the pilot was greenlit to series, with Syfy ordering five 15-minute episodes.
According to show creator Adam Davies, the idea, born in 2016, came from his love for animals, but also thinking there's a tension between them and humans, wanting to give them a voice because of that. The selection of animals as the main cast came when Davies started drawing cheetah spots to process trauma (which would become Glenn), with the rest of the cast and setting coming as a "subconscious thing".
Two inspirations for the show, according to executive producer Dylan Dawson, are comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and stop-motion series Creature Comforts.
Crew
The series is produced by Valparaiso Pictures, with animation outsourced to Octopie. According to executive producer Alex Plapinger, the number of people who worked on the show are between 40 and 50, with a lot of people working in various areas of production. The animation is done on Adobe Animate.
Cast
The main cast was announced the same day the pilot was greenlit to series, conformed by Natalie Palamides, Baron Vaughn, Reggie Watts, John Paul Reynolds, Claudia O'Doherty and SkittLeZ Ortiz.
Release
The first sneak peek of the show was released during Comic-Con on July 24, 2020, alongside a panel with members of the crew and cast. The series premiered on September 26, 2020, alongside the debut of Magical Girl Friendship Squad.

The secondary structure was predicted by the I-TASSER server and shows 7 alpha helices, 4 beta strands, and 12 coils.
Tertiary structure
The tertiary structure was predicted by the I-TASSER with a confidence score of -3.42, which is typically in the range from -5 to 2.
Gene level regulation
RNA-seq was performed of tissue samples from 95 human individuals representing 27 different tissues in order to determine tissue-specificity of all protein-coding genes. The highest expression can be seen in the skin, with an expression value of 22 ± 4.5 Reads per Kilobase of transcript, per Million mapped reads (RPKM). Transcription profiling was done by high throughput sequencing of individual and mixtures of 16 human tissues RNA to show the highest expression in the testes. Additionally, the lowest expression is seen in the liver. RNA sequencing was conducted of the total RNA from 20 human tissues which showed high expression in the brain, both in the cerebellum and fetal tissues. 35 human fetal samples from 6 tissues (3 – 7 replicates per tissue) collected between 10- and 20-weeks gestational time were sequence using Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA. This shows very high expression in the intestine after 11 weeks and the kidney after 10 weeks.
Three experiments were found that show what conditions RNF227 rises and falls. A study conducted on T cell-driven IL-22 amplification of Il-1beta-driven inflammation in human adipose tissue shows how there is higher expression of RNF227 in obese non-diabetic patients. An analysis of non-invasive NeuN cells and invasive NeuT cells treated with interstitial fluid flow resulted in higher expression of RNF227 in the NeuN cell line in both the static and flow protocols. This gives insight into the molecular pathways activated by interstitial fluid flow in ERBB2-positive breast cancer cells. The last experiment showed how the effect of Rho kinase inhibition on long-term keratinocyte proliferation is rapid and conditional and resulted in higher expression in the control agent |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta%20Runner | Meta Runner (known as Meta Runner: The Final Season for its third season) is an Australian computer-animated web series created by Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul. It is produced in-house by Glitch Productions, along with production funding provided by Screen Australia, financed with support from Crunchyroll and AMD, and financed in association with Epic Games.

The series takes place in a futuristic society where entertainment and lifestyle are based around video games and esports. The best of the best gamers in this society are known as "Meta Runners", many of whom replace one of their arms with a cybernetic arm also called a "Meta Runner" arm in order to optimize their gameplay performance. The series focuses on an amnesiac cyborg girl named Tari, who discovers that she has the ability to warp inside video games, and comes across and helps an undercover group called MD-5 in their mission to expose the corrupt company TAS Corp.
A pilot for a spin-off show titled Ultra Jump Mania, based on the fictional video game of the same name in the show, was released on 4 September 2020. However, as of September 2023, it has not been picked up for a full season.
Synopsis
In Silica City, all media and entertainment are mostly based around video games, not just serving as entertainment, but also jobs in live streaming and lifestyle. Among members of society are Meta Runners, individuals who have replaced their limbs with cybernetic arms that allow them to boost their gaming performance.
The series tells the story of Tari, a Meta Runner who was the subject of an experiment called Project Blue, led by Dr. Sheridan, a scientist who was commissioned by TAS Corp. After waking up in an abandoned lab, Tari finds herself in Silica City with amnesia. The last thing Tari can remember is a sudden accident causing an explosion in the lab that seemingly kills Sheridan and his patient, Lucinia Porter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized%20finance | Decentralized finance (often stylized as DeFi) offers financial instruments without relying on intermediaries such as brokerages, exchanges, or banks by using smart contracts on a blockchain, mainly Ethereum. DeFi platforms allow people to lend or borrow funds from others, speculate on price movements on assets using derivatives, trade cryptocurrencies, insure against risks, and earn interest in savings-like accounts. DeFi uses a layered architecture and highly composable building blocks. Some applications promote high interest rates but are subject to high risk. Coding errors and hacks have been common in DeFi.
History
Decentralized exchanges (abbreviated DEXs) are alternative payment ecosystems with new protocols for financial transactions that emerged within the framework of decentralized finance, which is part of blockchain technology and fintech.
CEXs (centralized exchanges), DEXs and DEX aggregators are all built on the multi-layered DeFi architecture or components, where each layer serves a well-defined purpose. (See Figure: Multi-layered Architecture of the DeFi Stack).
While they share common components of the first four layers, such as Settlement layer, Asset layer, Protocol layer and Application layer, DEX aggregators have an additional component or Aggregator layer, which allows them to connect and interact with other DEXs via smart contracts.
The Ethereum blockchain popularized smart contracts, which are the basis of DeFi, in 2017. Other blockchains have since implemented smart contracts.
MakerDAO is a prominent lending DeFi platform based on a stablecoin that was established in 2017. It allows users to borrow DAI, a token pegged to the US dollar. Through a set of smart contracts that govern the loan, repayment, and liquidation processes, MakerDAO aims to maintain the stable value of DAI in a decentralized and autonomous manner.
In June 2020, Compound Finance, a decentralized finance protocol enabling users to lend or borrow cryptocurrency assets and which provides typical interest payments to lenders, started rewarding lenders and borrowers with a cryptocurrency called Comp. This token, which is used for running Compound, can also be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. Other platforms followed suit, leading to stacked investment opportunities known as "yield farming" or "liquidity mining", where speculators shift cryptocurrency assets between pools in a platform and between platforms to maximize their total yield, which includes not only interest and fees but also the value of additional tokens received as rewards.
In July 2020, The Washington Post described decentralized finance techniques and the risks involved. In September 2020, Bloomberg said that DeFi made up two-thirds of the cryptocurrency market in terms of price changes and that DeFi collateral levels had reached $9 billion. Ethereum saw a rise in developers during 2020 due to the increased interest in DeFi.
DeFi has attracted venture capitalists such as Andre |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias%20Payer | Mathias Payer (born 1981) is a Liechtensteinian computer scientist. His research is invested in software and system security. He is Associate Professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and head of the HexHive research group .
Career
Mathias Payer studied computer science at ETH Zurich and received his master's degree in 2006. He then joined the Laboratory for Software Technology of Thomas R. Gross at ETH Zurich as a PhD student and graduated with a thesis on secure execution in 2012, focusing on techniques to mitigate control-flow hijacking attacks. In 2010, he was working at Google as software security engineer in the anti-malware and anti-phishing team, where he was dedicated detecting novel malware. In 2012, he joined Dawn Song's BitBlaze group at University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral scholar working on the analysis and classification of memory errors. In 2014, he received an appointment as Assistant Professor from Purdue University, where he founded his research laboratory, the HexHive Group. In 2018 he moved to EPFL as an assistant professor in Computer Science and received tenure in 2021. The HexHive Group is now located on the Lausanne Campus of EPFL.
Research
Payer's research centers on software and systems security. He develops and refines tools that enable software developers to discover and patch software bugs, and thereby rendering their programs for resilient to potential software exploits. To reach this goal Payer employs two strategies. The first one are sanitization techniques that point to security issues of factors such as memory, type safety and API flow safety, and thereby enabling more salient products. The second are fuzzing techniques that create a set of input data for programs by combining static and dynamic analysis. The novel input data set extend and complement the set of existing test vectors. Using this newly created input data helps to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities, such as control-flow integrity making use of specific language semantics, requiring type integrity, and safeguarding selective data.
Payer's research has led to the discovery of several software vulnerabilities. Among them are the Bluetooth bugs BLURtooth and BLESA, and USBFuzz, a vulnerability that affects the implementation of USB protocol parsing across mayor operating systems.
Payer has been contributing to the development of the Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity (DP-3T) protocol, on which the SwissCovid mobile application is built. The app allows for anonymous contact tracing to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
Payer assisted the creation of the startup company xorlab that a former student of his, Antonio Barresi, founded.
He gained recognition beyond his research field through his lectures at the CCC - Chaos Communication Congress, the BHEU-Black Hat Europe, and others.
Distinctions
He received the SNSF Eccellenza Award, and gained an ERC Starting Grant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOR%20TRANSIT | FOR TRANSIT (also incorrectly FORTRANSIT) is a subset of the FORTRAN programming language for the IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Data-Processing Machine, developed by a group led by Bob Bemer. FORTRAN, the first high-level programming language, was developed for the IBM 704 in 1957, at the same time IBM wanted to provide something similar for customers of the older, less powerful, but popular 650—eventually over 2000 650s were sold.
FOR TRANSIT was upward compatible with 704 FORTRAN with some restrictions. For example variable names could only be five characters rather than six, and arrays could have a maximum of two dimensions instead of three.
FOR TRANSIT was a Multi-pass compiler. The first pass translated the source to an intermediate language, IT (Internal Translator), written by Alan Perlis and others at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1957. The second pass compiled the IT into SOAP assembler code, and finally the SOAP code was assembled into the machine language object program.
FOR TRANSIT was never ported beyond the 650, as newer machines had the resources to run a full FORTRAN compiler.
The name FOR TRANSIT might have one or more of three meanings:
FORTRAN-S(oap)-IT, describing the translation process
FOR TRANSIT(ion), indicating that it was intended to ease upgrades to the 704
FORTRAN's IT, in the sense of adding a FORTRAN front-end to the IT compiler

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decisive%20Battles%20of%20WWII%3A%20The%20Ardennes%20Offensive | Decisive Battles of WWII: The Ardennes Offensive is a 1997 computer wargame developed by Strategic Studies Group (SSG) and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc.
The Ardennes Offensive failed commercially, but was critically acclaimed. It became the first installment in the Decisive Battles of WWII series, spawning the sequels Decisive Battles of WWII: Korsun Pocket (2003) and Battles in Normandy (2004).
Gameplay
The Ardennes Offensive is a computer wargame that recreates the Battle of the Bulge.
Development
The Ardennes Offensive was initially developed under the name The Last Blitzkrieg, but the title was changed during development for copyright reasons. It was briefly entitled Ardennenkrieg. According to Tim Carter of Computer Gaming World, "The battle has been done so many times in both cardboard and digital format that the publishers had a real problem finding a decent name that had not already been copyrighted." In November 1996, Computer Games Strategy Plus described The Last Blitzkrieg as "long awaited"; the game had experienced an extended development period by that time, which the team attributed to its artificial intelligence code.
The Last Blitzkrieg was officially announced as The Ardennes Offensive in March 1997, as the start of a new deal between developer Strategic Studies Group (SSG) and publisher Strategic Simulations, Inc. It was set for a release date of June. Rock, Paper, Shotgun wrote that the members of SSG "were already development veterans with dozens of strategy releases behind them."
The Ardennes Offensive was released on June 9, 1997.
Reception
The Ardennes Offensive was commercially unsuccessful. However, Robert Mayer of Computer Games Strategy Plus wrote in 1999 that the game had received acclaim, and was "regarded by hardcore wargamers as one of the finest operational level computer wargames ever made".
The game's portrayal of the Battle of the Bulge was praised by critics. In Computer Games Strategy Plus, Phil Thé found it to be "probably one of the best Bulge simulations yet to appear on either paper or silicon." Jim Cobb of Computer Gaming World dubbed it "the best computer game ever on the Battle of the Bulge." Summarizing the game in PC Gamer US, T. Liam McDonald wrote, "Sure, it's just another Bulge game, but it's a very good one."
Legacy
The Ardennes Offensive was initially planned as the first game in a new Decisive Battles of WWII series, and was set to be followed by a game about the Korsun Pocket. Plans for a Korsun Pocket title had existed as early as 1996, when The Ardennes Offensive was known as The Last Blitzkrieg. However, poor sales of The Ardennes Offensive led Strategic Simulations to abandon plans to publish the sequel. As a result, Strategic Studies Group (SSG) chose to recycle the work it had done on the sequel in an updated re-release of The Ardennes Offensive, which was launched online as freeware in December 1999.
According to Wargamer, The Ardennes Offensive "gained a rabid f |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribun%20Network | Tribun Network is a newspaper chain in Indonesia owned by Kompas Gramedia. Currently, the group has owned 22 local newspapers, which are spread across 24 cities and regencies in Indonesia, and a national newspaper. Tribun Network also maintains its own news portal Tribunnews.com.
History
In the late 1980s, there was an appeal from the Department of Information to the major newspapers for helping minor local newspapers which were hampered by the press permit (SIUPP) problem. The government created regulations to cut advertisement space on a newspaper up to 30% of all content if they did not want to help minor newspapers.
In 1987, Kompas Gramedia took over the ownership of Sriwijaya Post in Palembang. At the same time, the subsidiary Persda (short for Kelompok Pers Daerah, Regional Press Group) was established under the company name PT Indopersda Primamedia whose initial task was to assist local newspapers that needed assistance. In 1988, Kompas Gramedia took over Mimbar Swadaya weekly newspaper, whose name was changed to Serambi Indonesia in Banda Aceh, as well as the weekly newspaper Surya in Surabaya (which was founded by the Pos Kota in 1986) which was later changed to a daily publication. In 1992, Kompas Gramedia took over the Pos Kupang daily, and in 1994, the Banjarmasin Post.
Persda later strengthened its business by publishing its own regional newspapers in other cities under the Tribun (Tribune) brand. The first newspaper to hold the brand Tribun Kaltim was first published in 2003 in Balikpapan; followed by Tribun Timur (Makassar), Tribun Jabar (Bandung), and other Tribun-branded newspapers.
On 22 March 2010, Persda changed its name to Tribun Network, describing the change as "a transformation from a striking regional image to a national one". The unified Tribunnews.com online portal was also launched.
In 2014, Tribun Network published a national-oriented sports newspaper Super Ball as a spin-off for the football section of its newspaper members. Its online portal, which was originally a subdomain of Tribunnews.com, is currently a subdomain of Bolasport.com.
List of newspapers
Tribunnews.com
Tribunnews.com is the online news portal of Tribun Network. All news portals of the chain's newspapers are redirected into subdomains of Tribunnews.com, as well as their e-paper website.
Tribunnews.com was cited by Andalas University in 2018 as the most popular nationally-hosted website in Indonesia, with 183.2 million visits per month. It was ranked at 38 in the world's most popular websites by traffic by Alexa Internet.
In January 2019, Tribunnews.com was among the seven Indonesian online media with the highest viewership, and total online media reached 150 million Indonesians, or 56% of the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet%20Explorers | Exoplanet Explorers was a Zooniverse citizen science project aimed at discovering new exoplanets with Kepler data from the K2 mission. The project was launched in April 2017 and reached 26.281 registered volunteers. Two campaigns took place, the first one containing 148.061 images and the second one 56.794 images.
A total of 9 exoplanets were found through the project: K2-138 b, c, d, e, f and g (initially referred as EE-1b, EE-1c, EE-1d, and EE-1e), K2-233 b, c, and d, and K2-288Bb. K2-288Bb is considered to be potentially habitable with a radius of 1.91 Earth radii and a temperature of 206 K.
Several other candidates in size groups were also found: Jupiters: 44, Neptunes: 72, super-Earths: 53, Earths: 15.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet%20Patrol%20%28project%29 | Planet Patrol is a NASA citizen science project available in Zooniverse and aimed at discovering new exoplanets with data from the TESS telescope.
The project is built on results produced by a computer algorithm. The algorithm measures the center-of-light of the images and automatically compares it to the catalog position of the corresponding star.
The main difference with Planet Hunters is that Planet Patrol looks at objects that represent a detected planet candidate in TESS data, whereas Planet Hunters searches through all the stars in the TESS databases and asks humans to find such candidates.
As of September 2020, there are 1370 volunteers and 72,938 classifications have been done.
The images representing a possible exoplanet transit show a single bright source near the middle of the image with a dot at the center.
Results
Two papers were published by Planet Patrol, vetting 1998 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs). Of these TOIs 1461 passed as planet candidates, 286 were ruled out as false-positive and 251 were labelled as potential false-positive. The resulting catalog is named TESS Triple 9 (TT9), named after the number of vetted TOIs in each paper being 999.
The second TT9 paper describes interesting planet candidates, such as TIC 396720998.01 (TOI 709.01), a sub-Jovian around a hot subdwarf, named LB 1721. The planet candidate produces a V-shaped transit, which is different from the U-shaped transits that most planets produce. TOI 709.01 was previously classified as a false-positive by TRICERATOPS, another vetting tool. Because this tool uses pre-existing knowledge of its host star and transit shape, this tool might have been confused by the small size of the host star and the resulting V-shape of a transit. TOI 709.01 would be the second transiting planet around a degenerate star if confirmed. The first transiting planet around a white dwarf was WD 1856+534 b.
The paper also describes two planet candidates in the habitable zone: TOI 715.01 and the already confirmed TOI 1227 b.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101%3A%20The%20Airborne%20Invasion%20of%20Normandy | 101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy is a 1998 computer wargame developed by Interactive Simulations and published by Empire Interactive. Key members of the team had previously worked at Random Games, developer of Soldiers at War and Wages of War.
Gameplay
101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy is a turn-based computer wargame that simulates combat at the squad level, in a manner that has been compared to games such as X-COM. The game recreates the 101st Airborne Division's use of paratroopers during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II.
Development
101 was developed by Interactive Simulations, Inc. (ISI), a team started by former members of Random Games, creator of Soldiers at War and Wages of War. ISI president Tim Brooks said that he founded the studio to obtain "more control over deciding what went into the game and what didn't go into the game." 101 was released in October 1998.
Reception
101 sold 10,000 copies in the United States by April 1999, according to Tim Brooks. James Fudge of Computer Games Strategy Plus called the game "semi-popular" by that time, while Wargamers Mario Kroll dubbed it a commercial flop in 2003. He explained that it had failed to secure the retail shelf space necessary to succeed: "copies of the game weren't available over Christmas after the release, and shortly thereafter its developer went belly-up, completely abandoned by its publisher", he wrote. Kroll noted that 101s distribution issues were part of a trend for less established development teams at the time.
According to Kroll, 101 "received plenty of positive press". CNET Gamecenter, GameSpot and Computer Games Strategy Plus nominated it for their respective "Wargame of the Year" prizes, which went variously to The Operational Art of War I: 1939–1955 and People's General.
In Computer Games Strategy Plus, David Finn offered 101 a glowing review and hailed it as "probably the first tactical squad level wargame with this scope of realism and detail." William R. Trotter of PC Gamer US was also positive. Writing for GameSpot, Alan Dunkin remarked, "While the scope is limited and the level of detail can intimidate some, 101: The Airborne Invasion of Normandy is a winner."
Tim Carter of Computer Gaming World and Ian Marsh of Britain's PC Gaming World were critical of 101. Marsh argued that "the gameplay sucks", a complaint largely echoed by Carter: he wrote that the design "might be realistic, but it makes for a lousy game—especially with the incredible number of technical flaws that you are subjected to."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion%20algorithm | Lion algorithm (LA) is one among the bio-inspired (or) nature-inspired optimization algorithms (or) that are mainly based on meta-heuristic principles. It was first introduced by B. R. Rajakumar in 2012 in the name, Lion’s Algorithm.. It was further extended in 2014 to solve the system identification problem. This version was referred as LA, which has been applied by many researchers for their optimization problems.
Inspiration from lion’s social behaviour
Lions form a social system called a "pride", which consists of 1–3 pair of lions. A pride of lions shares a common area known as territory in which a dominant lion is called as territorial lion. The territorial lion safeguards its territory from outside attackers, especially nomadic lions. This process is called territorial defense. It protects the cubs till they become sexually matured. The maturity period is about 2–4 years. The pride undergoes survival fights to protect its territory and the cubs from nomadic lions. Upon getting defeated by the nomadic lions, the dominating nomadic lion takes the role of territorial lion by killing or driving out the cubs of the pride. The lioness of the pride give birth to cubs though the new territorial lion. When the cubs of the pride mature and considered to be stronger than the territorial lion, they take over the pride. This process is called territorial take-over. If territorial take-over happens, either the old territorial lion, which is considered to be laggard, is driven out or it leaves the pride. The stronger lions and lioness form the new pride and give birth to their own cubs
Terminology
In the LA, the terms that are associated with lion’s social system are mapped to the terminology of optimization problems. Few of such notable terms are related here.
Lion: A potential solution to be generated or determined as optimal (or) near-optimal solution of the problem. The lion can be a territorial lion and lioness, cubs and nomadic lions that represent the solution based on the processing steps of the LA.
Territorial lion: The strongest solution of the pride that tends to meet the objective function.
Nomadic lion: A random solution, sometimes termed as nomad, to facilitate the exploration principle
Laggard lion: Poor solutions that are failed in the survival fight.
Pride: A pool of potential solutions i.e. a lion, lioness and their cubs, that are potential solutions of the search problem.
Fertility evaluation: A process of evaluating whether the territorial lion and lioness are able to provide potential solutions in the future generations i.e. It ensures that the lion or lioness converge at every generation.
Survival fight: It is a greedy selection process, which is often carried out between the pride and nomadic lion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/561st%20Network%20Operations%20Squadron | The 561 Network Operations Squadron (NOS), AFCYBER's Workhorse Squadron, is located at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is currently under the command of the 690 Cyberspace Operations Group, which is responsible for operating and maintaining the United States Air Force's global enterprise network. The 561 NOS mission is to operate the cyberspace security and control system (CSCS) weapon system to deliver mission assurance. The 561 NOS and 690 COG report to the 688th Cyberspace Wing, which is currently under the Sixteenth Air Force. The 561 NOS was originally assigned to Air Force Space Command but was transferred to Air Combat Command on June 7, 2018.
Emblem
The emblem was originally designed for the 2161st Communication Squadron, a predecessor of the 561 NOS. Polaris, the guiding star and light, allude to Air Force Communications Command communicators who provide the medium for obtaining and providing guidance to all Air Force activities through communications systems. The star also symbolizes the NATO mission, thus, the close coordination with our Allies. The ellipses signify the elements of the atom, the basis of all electronic/electrical equipment that the 2161st Communication Squadron operated and maintained. This is the macrocosm view. In the macrocosm, the ellipses represent the earth and the global-wide communications (connectivity) which the 2161st Communications Squadron provided. The lightning bolt indicates the transmission and reception of signals by the communications equipment and is symbolic of Air Force Communications Command. The blue background indicated the United States Air Force primary theater of operations, the sky. The original emblem was approved in 1983 and was revised 17 October 2018
Detachments
561 NOS has had many detachments. Currently one is active with a projected sunset of December 2020.
Detachments 1, activated on 5 Jul 2006 at Hickam Air Force Base, HI. Now the 690th Cyberspace Operations Squadron located at Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yejin%20Choi | Yejin Choi (born 1977) is the Brett Helsel Professor of Computer Science at the University of Washington. Her research considers natural language processing and computer vision. Choi was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2022.
Early life and education
Choi is from South Korea. She attended Seoul National University. After earning a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Choi moved to the United States, where she joined Cornell University as a graduate student. There she worked with Claire Cardie on natural language processing. After earning her doctorate, Choi joined Stony Brook University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. At Stony Brook University Choi developed a statistical technique to identify fake hotel reviews.
Research and career
In 2018 Choi joined the Allen Institute for AI. Her research looks to endow computers with a statistical understanding of written language. She became interested in neural networks and their application in artificial intelligence. She started to assemble a knowledge base that became known as the atlas of machine commonsense (ATOMIC). By the time she had finished the creation of ATOMIC, the language model generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) had been released. ATOMIC does not make use of linguistic rules, but combines the representations of different languages within a neural network.
In 2020 Choi was endowed with the Brett Helsel Professorship. She has since made use of Commonsense Transformers (COMET) with Good old fashioned artificial intelligence (GOFAI). The approach combines symbolic reasoning and neural networks. She has developed computational models that can detect biases in language that work against people from underrepresented groups. For example, one study demonstrated that female film characters are portrayed as less powerful than their male counterparts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary%20Grigsby%27s%20World%20at%20War | Gary Grigsby's World at War is a 2005 computer wargame developed by 2 by 3 Games and published by Matrix Games.
Gameplay
Gary Grigsby's World at War is a grand strategy computer wargame that simulates conflict in World War II.
Development
Gary Grigsby's World at War was announced in February 2004. 2 by 3 Games developed it concurrently with War in the Pacific, a significantly more complicated title. The company's Joel Billings noted that playtesting World at War was relatively simple: "In WitP the longest scenario can last around 1700 turns, while GGWaWs longest scenario lasts around 25 turns". It reached gold status in February 2005.
Reception
Gary Grigsby's World at War received "generally favorable reviews" from critics, according to Metacritic. Writer Greg Costikyan reported that the game had sold over 100,000 units by 2008.
In Computer Games Magazine, Bruce Geryk was unimpressed with World at War. He called it "a claustrophobic game in which there are only one or two ways to win ... and what matters is how carefully you count the combat factors needed to succeed." Anthony Holden of PC Zone was more positive, referring to it as "a superior piece of work" hampered by its inaccessibility to newcomers. Computer Gaming Worlds Di Luo concluded, "Even with its flaws, World at War is still a good choice for anyone looking for a fast-paced war game."
IGN presented World at War with its 2005 "Best Game No One Played" computer game award. The editors wrote that it "really shines in its excellent simulation of supply and logistics."
A World Divided
In October 2006, World at War received a follow-up under the name Gary Grigsby's World at War: A World Divided. According to Joel Billings, it had begun as a patch but became ambitious enough for a full release; production began in January 2006. Among other updates, the game includes greater support for espionage and diplomacy, and enables a hypothetical conflict between the Soviet Union and Allied Western powers.
Reception
Reviewing A World Divided for IGN, Steve Butts wrote, "Gamers who are looking for an introduction to high-level wargames should definitely consider giving this one a look." Wargamers Al Berke called it "an excellent game" that "has a historical feel, but doesn't drown the players in a sea of detail."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe%20Cucker | Juan Felipe Cucker Farkas (born 1958) is an Uruguayan mathematician and theoretical computer scientist who has done research into the complexity theory of the Blum–Shub–Smale computational model and the complexity of numerical algorithms in linear programming and numerical algebraic geometry.
Biography
Cucker was born in Montevideo in 1958. Due to the situation in Uruguay in the 70s, he emigrated to Spain to study the bachelor of mathematics at the University of Barcelona, which he completed in 1983. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Cantabria and University of Rennes 1 in 1986 under the supervision Tomás Recio and Michel Coste. His thesis was about Nash functions on real algebraic varieties.
From 1987 to 1992 Cucker was professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia.
In 1992 Cucker became professor at the recently created Pompeu Fabra University. In 1995 he was promoted to chair professor at this university.
In 1993 he organized the workshop Continuous Algorithms and Complexity at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona where he started his long-term collaboration with Lenore Blum, Michael Shub, and Steve Smale. In 1996 he moved with them to the City University of Hong Kong to write the book Complexity and Real Computation. Although this was intended as a temporal position, Cucker would stay in Hong Kong and became an associate professor of this university in 1998, full professor in 2003, and chair professor in 2006.
Cucker was one of the founders of the nonprofit association Foundations of Computational Mathematics, of which he has been a member of the Board of Directors since its creation in 1995 until 2017. Additionally, Cucker was Chair of this society from 2008 to 2011 and Editor-in-Chief of its journal from 2011 to 2017.
In 2006 Cucker was named foreign member of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona.<ref>.</ref>
From 2017 to 2019 Cucker was Einstein Visiting Fellow of the Berlin Mathematical School and the Technical University Berlin.
In 2019, the conference Complexity of numerical computation: A conference in honor of Felipe Cucker was organised at the Technical University of Berlin in Berlin celebrating his work.
Since 2018 he is Head of the Mathematics Department at City University of Hong Kong..
Work
During the 90s, he worked in the complexity classes that appear when dealing with the Blum–Shub–Smale machine. In 1998, he co-authored one of the fundamental books in this topic, Complexity and Real Computation, together with Lenore Blum, Michael Shub, and Steve Smale.
In the 2000s he focused on the analysis of numerical algorithms in linear programming. Together with Dennis Cheung he introduced the notions of the GCC condition number in linear programming.
In 2007 together with Steve Smale he proposed the so-called Cucker-Smale flocking model. This model, which has received extensive attention in mathematics and other fields, plays an important role in the mathematical study of f |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective%3A%20Kursk | Objective: Kursk is a 1984 computer wargame designed by Gary Grigsby and released by Strategic Simulations, Inc.
Gameplay
Objective: Kursk is a computer wargame that simulates the Battle of Kursk between German and Soviet forces during World War II. It supports both single-player and two-player modes. The player controls the German side against the Soviets in the single-player mode.
Publication history
Objective: Kursk was published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. alongside its title 50 Mission Crush, which also covers World War II. It was designed by Gary Grigsby, and was among the three computer wargames he released in 1984, alongside War in Russia and Reforger '88. It was made with the same game engine and mechanics that Grigsby employed in Reforger. Objective: Kursk was released for the Apple II and Atari 800 lines of personal computers.
Reception
Reviewing Objective: Kursk for Electronic Games, Neil Shapiro called it "a fine historical simulation". However, he considered it particularly dry, and "lack[ing] in a subjective 'feel' of fluidity, control and understandable challenge that I personally look for when I feel like gaming". In Antic, Dr. John F. Stanoch praised the recreation of the Battle of Kursk, but noted that "the game is long and might become tedious for some players."
In a Page 6 survey of wargames for Atari computers, writer M. Evan Brooks placed Objective: Kursk in the "moribund" category. While he found it "extremely detailed", he argued that the end result was "bland" and hampered by a cumbersome interface. A wargame survey from the French magazine Jeux et Stratégie declared, "More accessible than Reforger '88 or War in Russia, Objective: Kursk is still for real wargamers." Tilts 1986 wargame survey was also positive toward the game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keno%20Fischer | Keno Fischer is a German computer scientist known for being a core member implementing the Julia programming language (e.g. its Windows support). He is an alumnus of Harvard for both his BA and MA. He works at Julia Computing, which he co-founded with Julia co-creators, Alan Edelman, Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral B. Shah and Deepak Vinchhi. He received a B.A. in mathematics and physics from Harvard in 2016, and he completed a Master of Arts in Physics also from Harvard in 2016.
At the age of 25, Fischer was selected by Forbes for their 2019 30 Under 30 Enterprise Technology list for his work with Julia Computing company.
Fischer, along with the rest of the Celeste team, was awarded the 2017 HPC Innovation Excellence Award for "the outstanding application of HPC for business and scientific achievements." The Celeste project, that ran on a top 6 supercomputer "created the first comprehensive catalog of visible objects in our universe by processing 178 terabytes of SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) data". "Collecting all known data about the visible universe into a meaningful model certainly is a big data problem."
Fischer is one of the computer exascale simulation researchers helping to remediate nuclear waste, in a collaboration including e.g. Brown University, Nvidia, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with "a deep learning application [..] focused on the Hanford Site, established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons and eventually home to the first full-scale plutonium production reactor in the world [..] When plutonium production ended in 1989, left behind were tens of millions of gallons of radioactive and chemical waste in large underground tanks and more than 100 square miles of contaminated groundwater [..] the team was able to achieve 1.2 exaflop peak and sustained performance – the first example of a large-scale GAN architecture applied to SPDEs." "They trained the GAN on the Summit supercomputer, which (as of the June 2019 Top500 list) remains the world’s fastest publicly-ranked supercomputer at 148.6 Linpack petaflops. The team achieved peak and sustained performance of 1.2 exaflops, scaling to 27,504 of Summit’s Nvidia V100 GPUs and 4,584 of its nodes. [..] This physics-informed GAN, trained by HPC, allowed the researchers to quantify their uncertainties about the subsurface flow in the site." The site is "one of the most contaminated sites in the western hemisphere".
Fischer is also the lead programmer of several projects using the Julia language, such as Cxx.jl and XLA.jl (to support Google's TPUs). He also works on supporting the Julia language on WebAssembly. In H1 2019, Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox web browser, sponsored "a member of the official Julia team" for the project "Bringing Julia to the Browser" as part of their research grants.Additionally, Fischer has worked on Mozilla's rr tool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20War%20College%3A%20Universal%20Military%20Simulator%203 | The War College: Universal Military Simulator 3 is a 1996 computer wargame developed by Intergalactic Development and published by GameTek. It is the sequel to The Universal Military Simulator and UMS II: Nations at War.
Gameplay
The War College is a computer wargame that simulates four battles from different historical periods: the Battle of Pharsalus, Battle of Antietam, Battle of Austerlitz and Battle of Tannenberg. The game eschews the traditional hex map format in favor of free unit movement based on algorithmic data.
Reception
According to designer Ezra Sidran, The War Colleges sales were hurt by the closure of the game's publisher. He wrote in 2016, "To this day I have no idea how many units it sold. We never got a royalty statement."
William R. Trotter was largely positive toward the game in his review for PC Gamer US, dubbing it "a mature, deep, thoughtful simulation that embodies a radical departure from the wargaming norm". Barry Brenesal of PC Games was less impressed: "this simulation's sum doesn't live up to the promise of its parts", he argued. In Computer Game Review, Scott Gehrs wrote, "While I cannot say that The War College is a title that everyone will like, I can say that for the serious war strategist or student of military history, The War College is the place to study."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRAC%20des%20Pays%20de%20la%20Loire | The FRAC des Pays de la Loire is a public collection of contemporary art of the Pays de la Loire region in France, part of the national FRAC network. It is in Carquefou. A second venue is expected to open in Nantes in April 2021.
History
Its purpose is to build an international collection and organize exhibitions in the region. It has also run a residency program since 1984.
The collection was created in 1982 and first settled in the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. In 1988, it moved to the Villa of La Garenne-Lemot in Clisson. Since 2000, it has been based in Carquefou in a building designed by Jean-Claude Pondevie, specially conceived to meet its conservation and exhibition missions.
It was directed by Jean de Loisy from 1983 to 1986, by Guy Trotosa from 1986 to 1988, by Jean-François Taddei from 1988 to 2004, by Laurence Gateau from 2004 to 2021, and from 2022 onwards by Claire Staebler.
Links were forged between the Frac and the Nantes metropolitan area on the occasion of the Estuaire biennale held in 2007, 2009 and 2012. This gives greater visibility to the Frac des Pays de la Loire by offering a place of exhibition in town. It is in this context that Bruno Peinado proposes in 2014, an exhibition L'Écho / What separates. This exhibition takes place at the same time in the premises of the Frac in Carquefou and at the HAB Galerie, on Île de Nantes.
In 2013, the share of the budget allocated to artistic production decreasing, the Frac resorted to private sponsorship to carry out its missions. In this perspective, new forms of action are emerging, reaching a wider audience.
The collection
The collection brings together more than 1700 art works. Its acquisition policy is to purchase works from emerging artists as well as historical art pieces. It includes painting, photography, sculpture, installation, sound, performance from Martine Aballéa, Alighiero Boetti, Christian Boltanski, Monica Bonvicini, Tea Djordjadze, Anne-Lise Coste, Lili Dujourie, Jimmie Durham, Raymond Hains, Ana Jotta, Véronique Joumard, Orlan, Gina Pane, Richard Prince, Martha Rosler, Jean-Michel Sanejouand, Peter Saul, Beat Streuli, Rosemarie Trockel, Valie Export, James Welling, among others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel%20Panthers%20III%3A%20Brigade%20Command%201939%E2%80%931999 | Steel Panthers III: Brigade Command 1939–1999 is a 1997 computer wargame developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. It is the third game in the Steel Panthers series, following Steel Panthers (1995) and Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles (1996). Like its predecessors, it was designed by Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors.
Gameplay
Steel Panthers III is a wargame that simulates combat scenarios around the world between 1939 and 1999. The game covers six primary conflicts—such as the North African campaign and Vietnam War—across 40 individual scenarios. A map editor enables the player to create custom scenarios.
Development
Steel Panthers III was designed by Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors. The game reuses the game engine from Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles, and was developed exclusively for MS-DOS. CNET Gamecenter noted that it would be "probably one of the last DOS-only games we'll see". It released on November 26, 1997.
Reception
T. Liam McDonald of PC Gamer US enjoyed Steel Panthers III but considered it "a missed opportunity", as it did not significantly build on its predecessors. In Computer Gaming World, Jim Cobb concurred: "Steel III is not anywhere near the definitive wargaming statements made by Steel I or II", he wrote. Writing for Computer Games Strategy Plus, Richard Lechowich was more positive, arguing that the game "continues the excellent system begun in the earlier games and builds on that foundation."
In its 1997 game of the year awards, CNET Gamecenter nominated Steel Panthers III in its "Strategy/War" category, but the prize ultimately went to Age of Empires. The site's editors called Steel Panthers III "one of the best war games running on any operating system."
Aftermath
Following Steel Panthers III, Gary Grigsby and Keith Brors entered a contract to create several new projects for the wargame company TalonSoft. At the same time, GameSpots Alan Dunkin reported in January 1998 that the two were working on new Steel Panthers titles for Strategic Simulations, beginning with an add-on for Steel Panthers III. A fourth Steel Panthers game, programmed for Windows 95, was also in production. The add-on was soon announced as Steel Panthers III: Brigade Command Campaign Disk, which included a multiplayer mode with Windows 95 support.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt.%20Data%20Hotel | The Mount Data Hotel is a hotel in Bauko, Mountain Province, Philippines, noted in Philippine History as the venue of the signing of the Mount Data peace accord which ended hostilities between the Philippine Government and the Cordillera People's Liberation Army - an event that was a major contributor to the establishment of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
The hotel was closed in 2005 and was only reopened in 2022, under the administration of the Philippines' Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority.
History
Mt. Data Hotel was built by the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) during the administration of then President Diosdado Macapagal in order to encourage tourism in the Mountain Province, as well as the central Cordillera region.
The hotel became known as the venue of the signing of the Mount Data peace accord or sipat on September 13, 1986, which ended hostilities between the Philippine national government represented by then President Corazon Aquino and the Cordillera People's Liberation Army led by Conrado Balweg. The peace deal led to the establishment of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
The PTA closed the hotel in February 2005, but later transferred the management of the hotel to the Mountain Province government in 2006 and tasked the provincial government to renovate the hotel's facilities and find a suitable entity to manage the hotel in ten years. The Mountain Province operated the hotel for ten years but had to failed to fulfill provisions of its deal to renovate the hotel.
Administration reverted to the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA, which was formerly the PTA) in February 2016. A renovation was planned but the hotel was temporarily closed due to delays on the implementation of the renovation. TIEZA began renovation on the hotel in early 2020 and plans to reopen the hotel within the latter part of the same year.
Facilities
In 2017, Mt. Data Hotel reportedly has 22 rooms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean%20Association%20for%20Feminist%20Research%20and%20Action | The Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action (CAFRA) is a nongovernmental organization that advocates for women's rights and empowerment in the Caribbean. The regional network, which serves as an umbrella organization for progressive feminist groups in over a dozen countries, is based in Castries, St. Lucia.
History
CAFRA was founded in Barbados on 2 April 1985. Its founders included Peggy Antrobus, Joan French, Rawwida Baksh, Honor Ford-Smith, Sonia Cuales, and Rhoda Reddock. The organization was formed in response to both the wave of feminist activism in that period and the discomfort some women felt in the leftist political groups of the day. As one of the group's founders wrote in 2007: "While there was official acceptance of women’s equality in these organisations, they were in actuality patriarchal structures, with strict hierarchies and few women in leadership positions. Feminist-oriented ideas in these spaces were dismissed as ‘bourgeois,’ ‘foreign’ and, as a result, ‘irrelevant’ and potentially divisive."CAFRA was the first regional women's organization that called itself "feminist". Its most active period was the late 1980s and the 1990s, although it remains a significant player on women's issues in various Caribbean countries.
Structure
CAFRA was based in Trinidad and Tobago for many years and is now based in St. Lucia. Though it is based in the English-speaking Caribbean, it covers all linguistic areas of the region; it is known as the Asociación Caribeña para la Investigación y Acción Feministas in Spanish and the Association Caraïbéenne pour la Recherche et l'Action Féministe in French.
The organization currently includes representatives from 17 constituencies: the Bahamas, Belize, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, the Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the U.S Virgin Islands.
A general meeting is held every three years, with a regional committee and continuation committee that meet annually. It is overseen by a coordinator, of which there have been four in the history of the organization, beginning with Rawwida Baksh. The most recent coordinator is Flavia Cherry.
There is also a CAFRA Youth League, which has branches in various countries.
CAFRA's active membership has primarily been Afro-Caribbean, although its members have worked to include Indo-Caribbean and other perspectives.
Work
CAFRA aims to promote women's ability to effect change in society, to fight oppression, and to "serve as facilitator of the regional women's movement."
Its work has included research and advocacy on violence against women, gender bias, women and the environment, women and agriculture, and women and the law. It has also advocated for sexual and reproductive health rights, although there were previously internal divisions on the issue, as well as LGBT rights. CAFRA has also run donation drives after natural disasters. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second%20Front%3A%20Germany%20Turns%20East | Second Front: Germany Turns East is a 1990 computer wargame developed and published by Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI). Designed by Gary Grigsby, it is a spiritual successor to his earlier game War in Russia.
Gameplay
Second Front is a grand strategy wargame that simulates the conflict between German and Soviet Russian forces during World War II, along the Eastern Front.
Development
Production of Second Front began in 1989. The game was designed by Gary Grigsby, and was his first project for the IBM PC format. Second Front draws on the design of Grigsby's earlier War in Russia, updated to a grand strategy structure; Grigsby had at first planned it as a straight remake of War in Russia. It was shown off at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in early 1990, and released around the middle of that year.
Reception
According to William R. Trotter of Game Players PC Entertainment, Second Front received critical acclaim, and was "generally hailed as the most satisfying WWII Russian Front war game yet released for the PC format."
Reviewing Second Front for Computer Gaming World, M. Evan Brooks wrote that Second Front was "recommended as a mandatory purchase [for] the grognard". However, he argued that its "documentation may be summed up as abysmal", which increased its learning curve. Gary Bolton of Games International called it "a valuable addition to the already large array of East Front computer games."
Legacy
Grigsby followed Second Front with Western Front, which adapts the Second Front gameplay system to conflicts on World War II's Western Front. Second Front itself was later retooled to create Gary Grigsby's War in Russia, a game that Retro Gamer noted was "regarded by some as Grigsby's finest SSI outing."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount%20Data%20Peace%20Accord | The Mount Data Peace Accord is a peace deal signed between the government of the Philippines and the Cordillera People's Liberation Army on September 13, 1986, ending hostilities due to the latter's campaign for greater autonomy for the Cordillera region.
Background
Prior to 1966, the Cordillera region was administered under one unit, the old Mountain Province. Abra has been its own independent province. In June 1966, the province was divided into smaller provinces—namely, Abra, Benguet, Ifugao, Mountain Province, and Kalinga-Apayao
Under the Regionalization Law or Presidential Order No. 1 issued by President Ferdinand Marcos, the Philippines' provinces were organized under 13 regions. The Cordilleran provinces were grouped under two separate regions: Benguet (including Baguio) and Mountain Province were included under Region I (Ilocos Region), and Ifugao and Kalinga-Apayao were included under Region II (Cagayan Valley).
An armed movement in the Cordillera region that advocated for greater autonomy for people in the area arose from the awarding of of land, which covers parts of Abra, Mountain Province, Kalinga-Apayao, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur, to the Cellophil Resources Corporation (CRC) and Cellulose Processing Corporation (CPC), which mostly affected the Tinguian or Itneg people of Abra. The proposal to build the Chico Dam also rose tension in the region.
Several ethnic groups of the Cordillera launched an organized effort to air their grievances against CPC through dialogue, although this was met by suppression by the Marcos administration. Some Tinguian, including Conrado Balweg, joined the communist rebellion led by the New People's Army (NPA).
The Cordillera People's Liberation Army led by Balweg splintered from the New People's Army (NPA) to independently launch an armed struggle fight for self-determination of the people of Cordillera.
Deal
On September 13, 1986, the Cordillera Bodong Administration–Cordillera People's Liberation Army (CBA–CPLA) and the government of the Philippines made a "sipat" (ceasefire) at the Mt. Data Hotel, in Bauko, Mountain Province. As part of the indigenous treaty, the two sides exchanged peace tokens; the CBA–CPLA gave representatives of the Philippine government a spear and a shield, and the Philippine government presented the Cordilleran side an assault rifle (from the Armed Forces of the Philippines) and a Bible and rosary (from President Corazon Aquino).
Aftermath
The Cordillera People's Liberation Army remains an extant organization, which has ceased armed operations, and the Cordillera Administrative Region was formed in preparation for the possible transition of the area to an autonomous region. An autonomous region in the Cordilleras is yet to be established, with two plebiscite (1990 and 1998) proposing the establishment of a Cordillera autonomous region failing to gain enough traction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary%20Grigsby%27s%20War%20in%20Russia | Gary Grigsby's War in Russia is a 1993 computer wargame developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. Designed by Gary Grigsby, it is adapted from the 1990 title Second Front: Germany Turns East, itself adapted from Grigsby's 1984 War in Russia.
Gameplay
Gary Grigsby's War in Russia is a computer wargame that simulates the Eastern Front conflict during World War II, in the war between Germany and Soviet Russia. It features a map editor that allows players to create custom scenarios.
Development
War in Russia was based on designer Gary Grigsby's earlier title Second Front: Germany Turns East, itself based on his game War in Russia. According to Ed Dille of Electronic Games, an important part of the new game was to address concerns in Second Front that "units retained too much mobility". The game also added a mouse-based interface, new battles and VGA graphics.
Reception
Computer Gaming Worlds M. Evan Brooks wrote, "A workmanlike simulation, WIR should be acquired by any grognard who does not have Second Front." Reviewing it for Electronic Games, Ed Dille was somewhat mixed on the game. Conversely, William R. Trotter of Game Players PC Entertainment was strongly positive toward it, and believed that it would "become a landmark in the history of computer war games."
Legacy
In 2007, Retro Gamer reported that Gary Grigsby's War in Russia "is regarded by some as Grigsby's finest SSI outing."
In August 2000, publisher Matrix Games launched an updated re-release of War in Russia, made available as freeware. Grigsby had joined Matrix earlier that year. The new War in Russia came amid Matrix's re-releases of Grigsby's titles Steel Panthers and Pacific War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2Z%20%28TV%20channel%29 | A2Z is a Philippine free-to-air blocktime broadcast television network based in Quezon City, with its studios located in Ortigas Center, Pasig. It serves as a flagship property of ZOE Broadcasting Network in partnership with ABS-CBN Corporation as its main content provider through a blocktime agreement. A2Z's flagship television station is DZOE-TV which operates on channel 11 (analog broadcast), and channel 20 (digital broadcast). The network's name is an abbreviation derived from the first letter of the names of two parent companies, ABS-CBN and ZOE, and the channel number of the now-recalled frequency of the former network (which is now owned by Advanced Media Broadcasting System's All TV).
Background
ZOE TV-11
DZOE-TV Channel 11, also known as ZOE TV-11 was launched in 1998 after being acquired from Delta Broadcasting System. It served as the television arm of Jesus is Lord Church led by Eddie Villanueva. In 2005, ZOE TV-11 was leased by Citynet Network Marketing and Productions, subsidiary of GMA Network, to serve as originating station for its secondary television networks QTV/Q and GMA News TV (now GTV). However, on April 24, 2019, GMA/Citynet announced that it will terminate its blocktime agreement with ZOE Broadcasting by the end of May 2019. The split comes after the release of GMA's 2018 financial report which declared the increasing lease payments that the network contributes to ZOE for the past three years (from in 2016 to almost a billion pesos in 2018). GMA News TV disaffiliated from ZOE TV-11 on June 4, 2019, before the channel signed off the next day.
On June 22, 2020, ZOE TV-11 returned on air and carried the feed of Light TV as part of its test broadcast operations, but on June 26, the simulcast was replaced by Hillsong Channel, which is owned by Trinity Broadcasting Network, before reverting to Light TV feed on July 11. It was rumored to be part of marketing the channel to either possibly continuing the analog simulcast of their sister station UHF 33 or for the airtime leasing.
ABS-CBN shutdown and agreement rumors
On May 5, 2020, the broadcast operations of ABS-CBN Corporation, including Channel 2, S+A, DZMM Radyo Patrol, My Only Radio, and all digital television channels of ABS-CBN TV Plus and Direct broadcast via satellite of Sky Direct and AMCARA (on June 30) were put off the air after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida issued a cease-and-desist order demanding ABS-CBN to immediately cease all of its free TV and radio broadcasting upon the expiration of its legislative broadcast franchise. Later, the Congress rejected ABS-CBN's application for franchise renewal on July 10, and the NTC recalled all the broadcast frequencies (including its now-defunct sister networks S+A, Yey! and Asianovela Channel) assigned to ABS-CBN on September 10. Since 2017, ABS-CBN was subjected to disputes with the government of former President Rodrigo Duterte due to several issues such as campai |
