https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case%20Closed%20Episode%20One | Case Closed Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, known as in Japan, is the sixth animated television special of Case Closed. It was broadcast on the Nippon Television Network System on December 9, 2016. The special, whose subtitle is the same as the second chapter of the manga, serves as a retelling of the entire first and part of the second episodes of the original anime series. It has newly added story elements, not seen in those episodes.
Plot
Sherry is seen entering a testing lab as she is working on a suspicious experiment for the Black Organization. As she views some live footage of test subjects on a computer screen, she calls her sister Akemi, telling her to come over, saying she will show her something interesting. A man walks into a bar called "Black Widow" and sits next to Vodka. Gin appears and says the Organization was having a rat problem. He also says the drink they were drinking was called "XYZ", a drink made from rum and lemon juice, which is mentioned to imply an "end". The man tries to flee by getting into his car, but it immediately explodes upon startup.
Ran and Shinichi see Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko playing soccer. Ran questions why Shinichi left soccer, as he explains he wanted to develop the reflexes needed for being a detective and cites Sherlock Holmes whom he wants to emulate. At Sonoko's home, a guest, Takanori Sewa has been receiving threatening letters before his New Year's party. Shinichi offers Sewa his assistance, but he declines saying that he has already increased the number of guards.
During Ran's karate competition, Shinichi gets a call from the Inspector regarding a case and he has to leave urgently. Sewa's party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a knife that pierced through his heart. The police, led by Inspector Megure, investigate the crime scene, where Shinichi concludes the killer to be Sewa himself.
While Shinichi and Ran are enjoying themselves at Tropical Land, Shinichi runs off to inspect two suspicious men in black making a shady business deal. Gin knocks out Shinichi from behind, then forces him to take an experimental drug, which shrinks his body. After making it home, Shinichi asks Professor Agasa for help. Agasa warns that to stay safely hidden from the men in black, Shinichi can tell no one of his true identity–even Ran, who coincidentally shows up, intending to check on Shinichi. Agasa convinces her to look after Shinichi, who tells her his name is Conan Edogawa. On the way to her house, Ran's father Kogoro rushes outside on the trail of a case. He brags that he's been hired to find a CEO's daughter who was kidnapped by a "man in black". In the hope that it is a lead, Conan sneaks along, followed by Ran, who explains Conan's situation to Kogoro. Hoping each case he solves with Kogoro and Ran will lead him closer to the Black Organization, Conan stays with them going forward.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meghan%20Chayka | Meghan Chayka (born ) is a Canadian data scientist and co-founder of the ice hockey analytics firm Stathletes.
Career
Chayka worked as a financial analyst at the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and as an analyst at John Deere before shifting to focus entirely on sport analysis in the mid-2010s.
She is a Data Scientist in Residence at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, a position she has held since 2017.
Stathletes
Chayka's first venture into ice hockey statistics came in 2009 when she and friend Neil Lane began filming her younger brother John's games while he was playing junior ice hockey in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), with the aim of analysing the collected data to help him improve his game. They developed a method of video analysis that produced dramatically more points of statistical data than contemporary methodologies.
After John's hockey career was ended by injury, he identified the potential marketability of Chayka and Lane's method of video analysis, which eventually grew into the founding of Stathletes by the Chaykas and Lane in 2010. The company grew quickly and, in 2012, the Vancouver Canucks became the first National Hockey League (NHL) team to employ their services.
Chayka has used her position within the company to champion the growth of women's ice hockey and Stathletes has become an industry leader in analytics for the women's game. Statistical data and analysis generated by Stathletes were used by the CBC's for its broadcasts of the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2018 Winter Olympics and the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Chayka spearheaded the landmark partnership between Stathletes and the National Women's Hockey League (PHF since 2021) to provide analytics for the 2020–21 NWHL season.
A regular participant in academic conferences, she has spoken at a number of analytics and sports conferences, including at the 2020 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference and the inaugural Women's Hockey Analytics Conference.
During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Chayka joined forces with Alison Lukan to present Hockey Analytics Night in Canada (HANIC), a regular online conference intended to bring together and spark discussion within the ice hockey analytics community via diverse topics and speakers.
Awards and honours
Chayka was named the Ontario Chamber of Commerce's Top Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018. In 2019, she was named to both the George Brown College's The 5 to Watch for Sports Business Executives and The Hockey News Top 100 People of Power and Influence.
Chayka appeared on The Athletic's Top Forty Under 40 in both 2019 and 2020, and Sportsnet's 25 Most Powerful Women in Hockey 2022. She was identified by The Hockey News as one of twenty candidates with the credentials to become the first woman to serve as a general manager in the NHL.
Alongside Melody Davidson and Sami Jo Small, Chayka was selected as an honorary co |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang%20BASIC | Wang BASIC is a series of BASIC programming languages for computers from Wang Laboratories. The term can be used to refer to the BASIC on any Wang machine, but is mostly associated with the versions on the Wang 2200 minicomputer series of the early 1970s. When these machines were updated to the VP series in 1976, BASIC-2 was introduced and remained the pattern for future machines in the 2200 series. A planned BASIC-3 was never released.
Wang offered several models of each version of the 2200 series, differing only in the amount of microcode stored in read-only memory (ROM), and thus the number of commands available in BASIC on that machine. For instance, the B model machines differed from the base-model A by doubling the ROM and using that to store a variety of input/output and file management commands.
Wang BASIC closely followed the original Dartmouth BASIC in syntax, but was an interpreter as opposed to a compile-and-go system. A notable feature was that all math used double-precision binary-coded decimal (BCD) format, which was unusual for BASICs of the era. It lacked many features common to later dialects like Microsoft BASIC, but many of these features were added in BASIC-2.
Description
The following description is based on the original BASIC found in the 2200A. Not all of the instructions listed below would be available in the base model; 2200B and C added dozens of new keywords, and are outlined separately below.
Program editing and execution
The original Wang BASIC for the 2200 is a relatively standard version of the Dartmouth BASIC concept, and will be familiar to users of any common BASIC interpreters like Microsoft BASIC. Like most BASIC interpreters, Wang BASIC operated in immediate mode or program mode, switching to the later when a line number is seen at the start of the line when the (return) key is pressed. Line numbers ranged from 0 to 9999. Lines could be up to 192 characters, spanning several on-screen lines, and lines could contain multiple statements separated by colons. To aid organizing large programs, the language included a command.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra%20Mandrycky | Alexandra Mandrycky (born 1991) is a data scientist and current Assistant General Manager for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League.
Career
Mandrycky has a degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech, where she became a hockey fan watching Atlanta Thrashers games. After graduating, she spent two years working for War-On-Ice, a public hockey analytics site. In 2015, she was hired as a data analyst for the NHL's Minnesota Wild.
In June 2019, she left the Wild to join the Seattle expansion franchise as Director of Hockey Administration. As director of the Seattle franchise, she was charged with analysing potential candidates for the role of general manager, the position eventually going to former NHL player Ron Francis.
She was named one of the 25 most powerful women in hockey by Sportsnet in 2020 and has been named as a potential future NHL general manager by The Hockey News.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert%20Falcon | Desert Falcon is a scrolling shooter developed by General Computer Corporation for the Atari 7800 and Atari 2600 and published by Atari Corporation in 1987. It was initially announced in 1984, prior to being named Desert Falcon, as one of the planned launch titles for the 7800. A cartridge version for the Atari 8-bit family, with XEGS-styled packaging, followed in 1988.
Designed by Bob Polaro, who also programmed the Atari 2600 version, Desert Falcon is loosely based on ancient Egyptian mythology. The diagonally-scrolling isometric graphics had reviewers comparing it to Sega's Zaxxon from 1982.
Plot
Players take on the role of a falcon, striving to collect the Pharaoh's scattered treasures in the desert to earn points.
Gameplay
The game uses a scrolling, isometric perspective. Vultures, warriors, flying fish, and other creatures guard treasures and try to stop the player. At the end of each level, the player faces a large, howling sphinx before moving forward. The falcon can shoot arrows to eliminate foes and defeat the sphinx.
Throughout the game are hieroglyphs in the sand. Landing and hopping over three hieroglyphs unlock what are labeled "super powers" in the manual. The specific combination of collected hieroglyphs determines the acquired ability, including invincibility, teleportation to a level's end, bonus points, a decoy to mislead enemies, and an air bomb that annihilates all airborne opponents.
Development
The game was revealed in 1984 as part of the Atari 7800 announcement. It was referred to as both Sphinx and Nile Flyer.
Reception
Reviewing the Atari 8-bit version for ANALOG Computing in 1989, Matthew J.W. Ratcliff wrote, "Desert Falcon has good graphics, cute sound effects, and a tired, boring theme." He cited Zaxxon several times, calling Desert Falcon a visually different spin on the same gameplay. New Atari User wrote, "The scrolling in Desert Falcon isn't quite as smooth as it could be," but complimented the animation of the falcon and the use of shadows. In Antic, David Plotkin wrote, "The manual describes a wide variety of enemies. Unfortunately, except for some flying triangles, they all looked pretty much alike". He still concluded with "It has excellent graphics and is very playable."
After playing the 7800 cartridge, Len Poggiali of Current Notes described it as "an average arcade game with a below average plot and above average visual appeal."

She was listed as a member of the observatory's "investigatory staff" in 1917. Her work also helped to establish the location of the planet Pluto, and of the moons of Jupiter. She contributed to several observatory publications, including A photometric study of the pleiades (1931, with Harlow Shapley), Mean distribution of stars according to apparent magnitude and galactic latitude (1925), The mean color-index of stars of different apparent magnitudes. Some relations between magnitude scales (1925), and Mount Wilson catalogue of photographic magnitudes in selected areas 1–139 (1930). She co-authored articles with American astronomer Seth Barnes Nicholson and Danish astronomer Julie Vinter Hansen.
Personal life
Richmond enjoyed hiking. She died in 1973, aged 90 years, in Pasadena. Her gravesite is in Woodstock, Vermont, her father's hometown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic%20Justice%20League | The Algorithmic Justice League (AJL) is a digital advocacy non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 2016 by computer scientist Joy Buolamwini, the AJL uses research, artwork, and policy advocacy to increase societal awareness regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in society and the harms and biases that AI can pose to society. The AJL has engaged in a variety of open online seminars, media appearances, and tech advocacy initiatives to communicate information about bias in AI systems and promote industry and government action to mitigate against the creation and deployment of biased AI systems. In 2021, Fast Company named AJL as one of the 10 most innovative AI companies in the world.
History
Buolamwini founded the Algorithmic Justice League in 2016 as a graduate student in the MIT Media Lab. While experimenting with facial detection software in her research, she found that the software could not detect her "highly melanated" face until she donned a white mask. After this incident, Buolamwini became inspired to found AJL to draw public attention to the existence of bias in artificial intelligence and the threat it can poses to civil rights. Early AJL campaigns focused primarily on bias in face recognition software; recent campaigns have dealt more broadly with questions of equitability and accountability in AI, including algorithmic bias, algorithmic decision-making, algorithmic governance, and algorithmic auditing.
Additionally there is a community of other organizations working towards similar goals, including Data and Society, Data for Black Lives, the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR), and Fight for the Future.
Notable work
Facial recognition
AJL founder Buolamwini collaborated with AI ethicist Timnit Gebru to release a 2018 study on racial and gender bias in facial recognition algorithms used by commercial systems from Microsoft, IBM, and Face++. Their research, entitled "Gender Shades", determined that machine learning models released by IBM and Microsoft were less accurate when analyzing dark-skinned and feminine faces compared to performance on light-skinned and masculine faces. The "Gender Shades" paper was accompanied by the launch of the Safe Face Pledge, an initiative designed with the Georgetown Center on Privacy & Technology that urged technology organizations and governments to prohibit lethal use of facial recognition technologies. The Gender Shades project and subsequent advocacy undertaken by AJL and similar groups led multiple tech companies, including Amazon and IBM, to address biases in the development of their algorithms and even temporarily ban the use of their products by police in 2020.
Buolamwini and AJL were featured in the 2020 Netflix documentary Coded Bias, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This documentary focused on the AJL's research and advocacy efforts to spread awareness of algorithmic bias in facial recognition systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society%20of%20Strip%20Illustration | The Society of Strip Illustration (SSI), later known as the Comics Creators Guild, was a British network for all those involved in any stage of the creative process of comics production. The SSI, which was co-founded in 1977 by Denis Gifford, met monthly in London, published a newsletter, and distributed annual awards for achievement in the field. Despite the organization's name, most members were comic book creators, as opposed to those of comic strips like those found in The Beano and The Dandy.
SSI members included Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, John Bolton, Kevin O'Neill, Paul Neary, Jim Baikie, Arthur Ranson, Tony Weare, Keith Watson, Alan Davis, Mark Farmer, Alan Grant, Bryan Talbot, David Lloyd, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean, Mark Buckingham, Nicholas Vince, and John Maybury. For a while in the 1970s, the SSI met at the London Sketch Club in Dilke Street, Chelsea.
History
In November 1980, the SSI hosted a conference which resulted in the publication of Strips '80, an introduction to the Society and a directory of its members.
According to Brian Bolland, in the early 1980s, scouts from DC Comics came to SSI meetings to recruit British creators to work on DC titles, leading to the so-called British Invasion.
The 1981 Society of Strip Illustration Awards were distributed on Saturday, October 31, at Comicon '81, held at the Regent Centre Hotel, London.
In October 1982, the SSI sponsored a "Teach-In and Work-In" at the Westminster Comic Mart, with a number of creators from 2000 AD and Warrior talking about and presenting their work. David Lloyd was chairman of the SSI, and editor of the newsletter,
at this time. A later chairman was Mark Buckingham.
The SSI became the Comics Creators Guild in 1992; Nicholas Vince was secretary and then chairman of the Guild from 1992 to 1993. The Guild's newsletter became known as Comics Forum; it was published quarterly from 1992 to 2004, and then annually until 2008.
The Guild appears to have dissolved some time after 2008.
Awards
The SSI distributed awards from 1977 until at least 1989; in 1988 the awards were renamed The Mekon Award (in honor of The Mekon of Mekonta, the arch-enemy of the British comic book hero Dan Dare). When the SSI became the Comics Creators Guild in 1992, the award name was again changed, this time to the Comics Creators Guild Award.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-driven%20model | In network science, the activity-driven model is a temporal network model in which each node has a randomly-assigned "activity potential", which governs how it links to other nodes over time.
Each node (out of total) has its activity potential drawn from a given distribution . A sequence of timesteps unfolds, and in each timestep each node forms ties to random other nodes at rate (more precisely, it does so with probability per timestep). All links are then deleted after each timestep.
Properties of time-aggregated network snapshots are able to be studied in terms of . For example, since each node after timesteps will have on average outgoing links, the degree distribution after timesteps in the time-aggregated network will be related to the activity-potential distribution by
Spreading behavior according to the SIS epidemic model was investigated on activity-driven networks, and the following condition was derived for large-scale outbreaks to be possible:
where is the per-contact transmission probability, is the per-timestep recovery probability, and (, ) are the first and second moments of the random activity-rate .
Extensions
A variety of extensions to the activity-driven model have been studied. One example is activity-driven networks with attractiveness, in which the links that a given node forms do not attach to other nodes at random, but rather with a probability proportional to a variable encoding nodewise attractiveness. Another example is activity-driven networks with memory, in which activity-levels change according to a self-excitation mechanism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20Robotics | Open Robotics is a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Mountain View, California. It is the primary maintainer of the Robot Operating System, the Gazebo simulator, and the Ignition libraries that are set to supersede Gazebo by 2025. Its stated mission is to support "the development, distribution and adoption of open source software for use in robotics research, education, and product development".
Open Robotics funds its operations through the contributions of various public and private organizations, some of whom also engage its services for the development of various robotics applications, robotics R&D and consulting. Notable sources of past and current funding include DARPA, NASA, Amazon, Bosch, Nvidia and the Toyota Research Institute.
History
The beginnings of Open Robotics can be traced to Willow Garage, a robotics research lab and incubator created by Scott Hassan, an early Google engineer and billionaire technology entrepreneur. It was here that the first official Robot Operating System (ROS) distribution was released in May 2010, and quickly gained widespread adoption. Willow Garage was gradually dissolved in the ensuing years into several spin-offs, including the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), which was created in May 2012 to continue to shepherd the development of ROS and the Gazebo simulator.
OSRF's initial backers included Willow Garage and DARPA, which awarded OSRF its first contract to support open source simulation software for the DARPA Robotics Challenge. In subsequent years, OSRF also provided support for NASA's Space Robotics challenge and the DARPA Subterranean Challenge.
In September 2016, a taxable subsidiary named the Open Source Robotics Corporation (OSRC) was created to foster greater collaboration with industry. Together with OSRF, these two organizations came to be officially known as Open Robotics in May 2017. In 2018, Open Robotics opened its first overseas office in Singapore, and announced its collaboration with the Singapore Government to work on robotics applications for the healthcare sector.
In December 2022, OSRC and OSRC-SG (the Singapore entity) were acquired by Intrinsic, a subsidiary of Alphabet. OSRF remains an independent non-profit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PG%20Era | The PG Era, also known as the Universe Era, is an era of professional wrestling within World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE), which began on July 22, 2008 after its programming was labeled as TV-PG rating under the TV Parental Guidelines. Doing business as World Wrestling Entertainment at the time, the company ceased using its full name in reference to the wrestling promotion in April 2011, and strictly started going by the "WWE" abbreviation, which became an orphaned initialism.
WWE instituted a number of changes as they began marketing to a younger audience, such as heavily scripting on-screen promos and toning down excessive violence, profanity and sexual content. The earlier parts of the era were defined by superhero-esque fan-favorites and one-dimensional villains. While WWE considers the era to have ended in either 2013 or 2014 in favor of a more reality-based era, some describe the PG Era as ongoing since the 2008 changes continue to remain in effect. The PG Era has received much criticism from fans due to its watered-down violence and family-friendly program and characters, but it has also been praised as a good business decision as it made the promotion more appealing to a wider audience and corporate sponsors just as it was during the Hulkamania years.
Background
Prior to 1997, WWF (WWE was known as the World Wrestling Federation until 2002) programming was rated TV-PG. Raw shifted to a TV-14 rating in 1997 amidst direct competition with World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) flagship show Nitro during the Monday Night Wars. It remained with that rating until 2008. SmackDown has been rated TV-PG since its inception in 1999.
WWE promoter Vince McMahon states that the Attitude Era of the late 1990s and early 2000s was the result of competition from WCW and forced the company to "go for the jugular". Due to WCW's demise in 2001, McMahon says that they "don't have to" appeal to viewers in the same way and that during the "far more scripted" PG Era, WWE could "give the audience what they want in a far more sophisticated way". WWE says that the move to PG cut the "excess" of the Attitude Era and "ushered in a new era of refined and compelling storytelling". John Cena was face of the company during this time, despite receiving a mixed reception from the audience.
While WWE had been slowly moving towards a more family-friendly format before it, Vice News writes that this was accelerated after the Chris Benoit double murder and suicide in 2007. Then-WWE CEO Linda McMahon described the transition away from TV-14 as a "cradle to the grave" approach to appeal to younger viewers and encourage brand loyalty. Bryan Alvarez and Lance Storm of Wrestling Observer Newsletter attribute the move to TV-PG as a result of WWE appealing to sponsors, which was confirmed by former WWE chief marketing officer Michelle Wilson.
WWE officially announced the move to TV-PG on July 22, 2008. The 2008 SummerSlam pay-per-view (PPV) was the first WWE PPV to carry th |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna%20Wallach | Hanna Wallach (born 1979) is a computational social scientist and partner research manager at Microsoft Research. Her work makes use of machine learning models to study the dynamics of social processes. Her current research focuses on issues of fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics as they relate to AI and machine learning.
Early life and education
Wallach was an undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, where she specialised in computer science. She moved to the University of Edinburgh for her graduate studies. Here she focussed on cognitive science and machine learning. Wallach completed her doctoral research at the University of Cambridge. Her research considered language models.
Career
Her early research considered the development of natural language processing which analyses the structure and content of social processes. Wallach explained that social interactions have several things in common; structure (i.e. who is involved in the interaction), content (the information that is shared during or arises from these interactions) and dynamics (the structure and content can change over time). She worked alongside journalists and computer scientists to better understand how organisations function. In 2007 she joined the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she was made Assistant Professor in 2010.
At Microsoft Research Wallach investigates fairness and transparency in machine learning. In 2020 she worked with machine learning practitioners from across the tech sector to create an artificial intelligence ethics checklist. The checklist aimed to provide clear guidelines for the ethical development of artificial intelligence systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox%20college%20bowl%20game%20broadcasts | Initial college football broadcasts on the Fox network were limited to selected bowl games, beginning with the Cotton Bowl Classic from 1999 to 2014. From 2006 to 2009, Fox broadcast the Bowl Championship Series (excluding games played at the Rose Bowl stadium, whose rights were held by ABC under a separate agreement). Fox also holds rights to the Redbox Bowl and Holiday Bowl.
Coverage history
Cotton Bowl Classic
The Fox network acquired its first college football telecast in 1998, when it obtained the broadcast rights to the annual Cotton Bowl Classic held each January on (eventually, the day after) New Year's Day; the first game to be shown on the network as part of the deal was held on January 1, 1999. Fox renewed its contract to carry the game in 2010, in a four-year agreement that ran through the 2013 NCAA college football season.
Fox lost the rights to the Cotton Bowl to ESPN for the 2015 edition, as the cable network holds the television contract to all six bowl games that encompass the College Football Playoff system under a twelve-year deal worth over $7.3 billion. The Cotton Bowl was the only game among the six that was not already broadcast by ESPN.
Bowl Championship Series
From the 2006 through the 2009 seasons, Fox held the broadcast rights to most of the games comprising the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) – including the Sugar Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl and the Orange Bowl, as well as the BCS Championship Game. Fox paid close to $20 million per game for the rights to televise the BCS games. The network's contract with the BCS excluded any event in the series that was held at the Rose Bowl stadium, such as the Rose Bowl Game and the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, as ABC already had a separate arrangement with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association to serve as the broadcaster for the games.
ESPN, which is majority owned by ABC's corporate parent The Walt Disney Company and serves as the producer for all of ABC's sports coverage, would displace Fox outright as the broadcaster of the BCS beginning in the 2010–11 season. This left the Fox network with only the Cotton Bowl Classic as the sole college football game, to which it held the television rights until the 2013–14 season.
Fiesta Bowl
Orange Bowl
Sugar Bowl
BCS National Championship Game
Holiday Bowl
The bowl has been broadcast by Mizlou (1978–1984), Lorimar (1985), ESPN (1986–2016), and Fox Sports 1 (2017–present). On June 15, 2017, it was revealed that the Holiday Bowl had not renewed its contract with ESPN—one of the network's longest relationships—and had entered into an agreement to move to FS1 beginning 2017.
Redbox Bowl
From 2002 through 2015, the bowl was televised by ESPN or ESPN2; since 2016, it has been carried by Fox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space%20Delta%206 | Space Delta 6 (DEL 6) is a United States Space Force unit which assures access to space through the $6.8 billion Satellite Control Network and defensive cyberspace capabilities for space mission systems.
Tracing its history to 1965, the delta is headquartered at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado. It replaced the 50th Network Operations Group, which had been part of the former 50th Space Wing. On 23 June 2021, the 614th Air and Space Communications Squadron, previously under Space Delta 5, was redesignated as the 65th Cyber Squadron and transferred into Space Delta 6.
History
The delta was first organized as the 1879th Communications Squadron during the Vietnam War in 1965. It formed part of the 1964th Communications Group providing communications for the U.S. Air Force in South Vietnam. In 1971, as American participation in the Vietnam War was reduced and United States Air Force closed down its activities at Nha Trang Air Base, the squadron was moved to Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, Missouri, where it absorbed the mission, personnel and equipment of the 2009th Communications Squadron, which was inactivated.
The unit moved to its present location, then named Falcon Air Force Station, when Richards-Gebaur was turned over to the Air Force Reserve. The 1879th assumed the resources of the 2184th Communications Squadron at Falcon. When the 2d Space Wing was inactivated in 1992 the 1879th was inactivated with it and its mission was taken over by the 50th Satellite Communications Squadron.
The expanded space communications mission at Schriever Air Force Base led to the activation of the unit, now designated the 50th Communications Group. In 2002 the group was inactivated and its components transferred to the 50th Maintenance Group. This action was reversed less than a year later.
In March 2004 the group was re-designated the 50th Network Operations Group, and took control of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Space Operations Squadrons to consolidate control of the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN).
The 50th Network Operations Group was re-designated as Delta 6 on July 24, 2020.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Absurdity%20of%20Human%20Existence | The Absurdity of Human Existence is the third studio album of Danielle "Danz" Johnson and first released under the alias Danz CM after using the Computer Magic alias for a decade. It was released on March 12, 2021 on her label Channel 9 Records.
Background and recording
In August 2020, Johnson announced on W Magazine that she had changed her alias from Computer Magic to Danz CM. Speaking about the album, Danz said that she went through an existential crisis: she experienced feelings of self-doubt, went through an extreme low, was about to break and contemplated the human existence. All that inspired her to write "songs of sadness, songs about falling in love, songs about death, songs about wanting something more out of life." According to her: "it was diving both the deepest I could go emotionally meanwhile perfecting every sound – listening repeatedly to every second, making sure it was perfect and pushing myself."
Danz strictly used analogue synthesizers such as Sequential Prophet 6, Moog Minitaur, and Moog Mother-32. She also borrowed an original Roland 808 from a friend's studio.
Promotion and release
Danz planned to release The Absurdity of Human Existence in spring 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic she postponed it until spring 2021. The album was released on 12 March 2021 and it was promoted through 4 singles: "Idea of You", "Domino", "Something More", and "I Don't Need a Hero".
The first single "Idea of You" premiered on YouTube on December 11, 2020. Its music video has been filmed in Death Valley. Reviewing this song, The Electricity Club mentioned: "Capturing a sombre electronic disposition, 'Idea of You' develops on the darkness that was apparent on the last Computer Magic album Danz with its self-referencing title a pointer of things to come. It is all quite distinct from the enjoyably escapist Obscure but Visible EP and its utterly charming highlight 'Lonely Like We Are'."
The second single, "Domino", was released on January 22, 2021 and it was accompanied by a music video shot on the Oregon coast. The third and fourth singles, "Something More" and "I Don't Need a Hero" were released on February 12 and March 5, respectively. The music video of "Something More" was released on 15 April 2022.
Reception
The Revue gave the album a positive review and mentioned that "Johnson's synth-heavy approach remains, though she probes darker spaces and more cinematic arenas than before to reflect her journey." The synthpop site The Electricity Club praised the album and concluded that "what is in its place is a more intense presence and a wider ambition exploring different music styles and timbres while still remaining at its core, the creation of a talented woman who has overcome her shyness and had the courage to engage with and learn from some of the biggest names in synth." Cool Hunting described the album as "nothing short of spectacular".

Steve Fallone is credited with mastering at Sterling Sound (New York, NY), and Chad Kamenshine with the artwork.
Chris Egan III, Ignacio Rivas Bixio, John Hancock III played percussion and Tim Wheeler of Ash, Brian Robertson, Andrew Wilder played guitar. On the album there were used instruments such as Minimoog, Omnichord, live drums and guitar.
Promotion and release
The title Davos is a homage to a now-decrepit ski resort where Johnson grew up in upstate New York, where her father worked and still resides, although the ski resort closed when Johnson was 3 years old.
Before the album's release, The New Yorker mentioned Davos in a This Week article. 3 music videos were released to promote this album: "Be Fair" (filmed in Trona Pinnacles), "Hudson", and "Fuzz".
Reception
Stereogum premiered the first single "Be Fair" and described it as "one lusty synthpop hook after another". They also premiered the single "Fuzz" and described it as "pulsating, funky '80s synth lines hold down the low end beneath clean, bright melodies that complement her vocals throughout the chorus". According to the synthpop site The Electricity Club, songs like "Fuzz" and "Give Me Just a Minute" "recalled the early adventures of Ladytron, while "Hudson" hinted more at the leanings of Dubstar".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danz%20%28album%29 | Danz is the second studio album of Danielle "Danz" Johnson and the last released under the moniker Computer Magic before changing it to Danz CM. It was released on February 23, 2018 on her label Channel 9 Records and on P-Vine and Tugboat in Japan.
Background and recording
Johnson wrote, produced, arranged, recorded, mixed and mastered all songs on Danz at Spectro Studios in New York. According to her, this album is her most personal out of any other record she made. She drew inspiration from her life and characters from films or books. Some of the themes of the album include identity crisis ("about slowly losing your mind during your creative process"), death (e.g. "Drift Away" is about her stepbrother Eric, who died when she was younger), dreams (e.g. "Space and Time / Pale Blue Dot" is about a dream she experienced about drifting off into the atmosphere and floating into the cosmos), artificial intelligence (e.g. "Ordinary Life (Message from an A.I. Girlfriend)" is about a human like robot girlfriend yearning for more in life to experience than household chores), politics (e.g. "Delirium (Don't Follow the Sheep)" is about not following the masses).
Promotion and release
The title Danz is a reference to her nickname. The album was supported by four music videos: "Amnesia", "Ordinary Life (Message from an A.I. Girlfriend)" (with a concept by Johnson and the director Anise Mariko), "Perfect Game", and "Clouds".
Reception
The album received an Album Pick mark from Allmusic but no review. In a positive review, the indie music site The Revue called the album "Johnson's most introspective to date and a wildly imaginative and brilliant piece of art." According to Brightest Young Things, "Danz features ten shimmering, synth-laden tracks, and while it’s certainly a departure from Davos, the catalog still sounds like the Computer Magic we know and love." The album received a negative review from Exclaim!.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%20United%20States%20federal%20government%20data%20breach | In 2020, a major cyberattack suspected to have been committed by a group backed by the Russian government penetrated thousands of organizations globally including multiple parts of the United States federal government, leading to a series of data breaches. The cyberattack and data breach were reported to be among the worst cyber-espionage incidents ever suffered by the U.S., due to the sensitivity and high profile of the targets and the long duration (eight to nine months) in which the hackers had access. Within days of its discovery, at least 200 organizations around the world had been reported to be affected by the attack, and some of these may also have suffered data breaches. Affected organizations worldwide included NATO, the U.K. government, the European Parliament, Microsoft and others.
The attack, which had gone undetected for months, was first publicly reported on December 13, 2020, and was initially only known to have affected the U.S. Treasury Department and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. In the following days, more departments and private organizations reported breaches.
The cyberattack that led to the breaches began no later than March 2020. The attackers exploited software or credentials from at least three U.S. firms: Microsoft, SolarWinds, and VMware. A supply chain attack on Microsoft cloud services provided one way for the attackers to breach their victims, depending upon whether the victims had bought those services through a reseller. A supply chain attack on SolarWinds's Orion software, widely used in government and industry, provided another avenue, if the victim used that software. Flaws in Microsoft and VMware products allowed the attackers to access emails and other documents, and to perform federated authentication across victim resources via single sign-on infrastructure.
In addition to the theft of data, the attack caused costly inconvenience to tens of thousands of SolarWinds customers, who had to check whether they had been breached, and had to take systems offline and begin months-long decontamination procedures as a precaution. U.S. Senator Richard J. Durbin described the cyberattack as tantamount to a declaration of war. President Donald Trump was silent for days after the attack, before suggesting that China, not Russia, might have been responsible for it, and that "everything is well under control".
Background
SolarWinds, a Texas-based provider of network monitoring software to the U.S. federal government, had shown several security shortcomings prior to the attack. SolarWinds did not employ a chief information security officer or senior director of cybersecurity. Cybercriminals had been selling access to SolarWinds's infrastructure since at least as early as 2017. SolarWinds had been advising customers to disable antivirus tools before installing SolarWinds software. In November 2019, a security researcher had warned SolarWind |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow%20%28service%29 | Shadow.tech is a cloud computing service developed by the French company Blade that was acquired by OVHcloud founder Octave Klaba in 2021. Its technology is based on Windows 10 servers executing video games or other Windows software applications remotely. Unlike many other cloud services such as Nvidia GeForce Now, or Amazon Luna, Shadow is not limited to running video games, as Shadow.tech provides remote access to a complete PC infrastructure.
History
In 2015, Emmanuel Freund, Stéphane Héliot and Asher Kagan-Criou created a start-up called Blade to propose a cloud-gaming service called Shadow.
At the start of 2016, they raised 3 million euros of capital, then 10 million, followed in 2017 by 51 million, with several investors.
In 2019, Blade further raised 30 million euros, following the arrival of Google in the Cloud gaming sector with Stadia.
In October 2019, Shadow had more than 70000 users. In November 2020, They announced having more than 100000 active users.
In September 2020, Blade CEO and CTO change for Mike Fischer and Jean-Baptiste Kempf (one of the major contributors of the VLC media player project).
In March 2021, it was announced that Blade had filed for Chapter 11 Protection in the United States, as well as filing for bankruptcy in Europe.
In May 2021, it was announced that Blade had been bought after its insolvency by Octave Klaba, CEO of OVHcloud. Before he bought the service however, Octave Klaba announced that he was not interested in Cloud Gaming but intended to develop a European alternative to Office 365.
On May 24, 2021, Shadow's new management announced major restructuring to the previous pricing structure, removing the Ultra and Infinite tier plans, and leaving the $30 USD Boost plan as the company's sole offering (until the upcoming hardware upgrades and new plans announced in May 2022 are rolled out.)
In March 2021, the Shadow team announced a Dual Screen feature. In August 2021, Octave Klaba, OVHcloud CEO, informed that service subscription approval was renewed after a pause which lasted starting from the bankruptcy announcements. In October of that year, Shadow also announced a new logo and brand that would begin usage in 2022.
In May 2022, upcoming hardware upgrades and expansions to Shadow's services were announced by the company.
Incidents
On the 11th of October 2023, Shadow notified all of its customers via email about a social engineering attack that the company had become a victim of. The company claimed that the attack was highly sophisticated and that the attacker was able to extract private information about the customers. However, the company also made it clear that no passwords or banking details were compromised. The attackers were able to access customers' first name, last name, date of birth, address, and credit card expiry date. The company has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the matter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITP%20method | In numerical analysis, the ITP method, short for Interpolate Truncate and Project, is the first root-finding algorithm that achieves the superlinear convergence of the secant method while retaining the optimal worst-case performance of the bisection method. It is also the first method with guaranteed average performance strictly better than the bisection method under any continuous distribution. In practice it performs better than traditional interpolation and hybrid based strategies (Brent's Method, Ridders, Illinois), since it not only converges super-linearly over well behaved functions but also guarantees fast performance under ill-behaved functions where interpolations fail.
The ITP method follows the same structure of standard bracketing strategies that keeps track of upper and lower bounds for the location of the root; but it also keeps track of the region where worst-case performance is kept upper-bounded. As a bracketing strategy, in each iteration the ITP queries the value of the function on one point and discards the part of the interval between two points where the function value shares the same sign. The queried point is calculated with three steps: it interpolates finding the regula falsi estimate, then it perturbes/truncates the estimate (similar to ) and then projects the perturbed estimate onto an interval in the neighbourhood of the bisection midpoint. The neighbourhood around the bisection point is calculated in each iteration in order to guarantee minmax optimality (Theorem 2.1 of ). The method depends on three hyper-parameters and where is the golden ratio : the first two control the size of the truncation and the third is a slack variable that controls the size of the interval for the projection step.
Root finding problem
Given a continuous function defined from to such that , where at the cost of one query one can access the values of on any given . And, given a pre-specified target precision , a root-finding algorithm is designed to solve the following problem with the least amount of queries as possible:Problem Definition: Find such that , where satisfies .
This problem is very common in numerical analysis, computer science and engineering; and, root-finding algorithms are the standard approach to solve it. Often, the root-finding procedure is called by more complex parent algorithms within a larger context, and, for this reason solving root problems efficiently is of extreme importance since an inefficient approach might come at a high computational cost when the larger context is taken into account. This is what the ITP method attempts to do by simultaneously exploiting interpolation guarantees as well as minmax optimal guarantees of the bisection method that terminates in at most iterations when initiated on an interval .
The method
Given , and where is the golden ratio , in each iteration the ITP method calculates the point following three steps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability%20in%20Samoa | According to data collected in 2006, roughly 2,100 people live with disabilities in Samoa. The country's constitution does not specifically address or protect the rights of persons with disabilities, nor does it prohibit discrimination against them. Samoa, while not currently a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, has expressed an interest in possibly acceding to it in the future.
In response to the needs of persons with disabilities, the Samoan government established a National Disabilities Taskforce. This group is responsible for developing and implementing programmes designed to assist individuals with disabilities. The taskforce operates under the guidelines set by the National Policy and National Plan of Action for Persons with Disabilities, which were instituted in 2009. Furthermore, the leading disability rights advocacy organisation in the country, Nuanua O Le Alofa, was founded in 2001. It served as the host for the 5th Pacific Regional Conference on Disability in 2017.
On the international sports stage, Samoa has been represented in each Summer Paralympics since the 2000 Summer Paralympics, although the country has not yet participated in the Winter Paralympic Games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational%20neuroaesthetics | Computational neuroaesthetics is the discipline that connects neuromarketing, psychology and computer science. It represents the evolution of neuroaesthetics and computational aesthetics and investigates the brain processes of human beings involved during the aesthetic experience.
In pursuing this research objective it uses a methodology that integrates the methods and techniques which are typical of neuroscience with those typical of computational science. The visual stimuli observed by people, such as images, are computationally processed to obtain a numerical value of the aesthetic features, such as brightness and hues, which are related to the brain processes of the subjects. In doing so, computational neuroaesthetics overcomes the limits of computational aesthetics, which uses only classical measuring instruments, such as self report scales, to assess the positive emotions experienced by individuals.
Areas of application
The results that emerge from computational neuroaesthetics research can be applied in several areas. The privileged one is the field of marketing and communication, since it is possible to know which aesthetic characteristics an advertising stimulus should have to be appreciated at a deep and implicit level by consumers. These positive reactions are a factor that influences the orientation of people towards the products and the brands that are promoted.
Another area of application is design and user experience design. In fact, the aesthetics of products and phygital interfaces is a fundamental component for user experience. Computational neuroaesthetics offers useful knowledge to develop a design that respects those aesthetic parameters which are able to improve user experience. Products and services with good UX levels are perceived as better and easier to use by consumers.
In the fields of health and well-being psychology, the knowledge of this discipline represents a potential tool able to build positive and transformative aesthetic experiences which could promote patients' engagement.
Origins
Aesthetics is a discipline that, within the psychological field, has been studied over the decades by different approaches, including the gestalt and cognitivist ones. In 2005, Chatterjee, stressed the need to use a research approach able to integrate neuroaesthetics with an analytical description of the features of visual stimuli in order to obtain quantifiable parameters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayer-Kuvert | Mayer-Kuvert-network (also known as the Mayer Group) is a European manufacturer of envelopes, packaging and shipping materials. The company has its headquarters in Heilbronn.
History
1877–1950: Founding and World War II
The company was founded in 1877 by Ernst Mayer as the "Ernst Mayer Briefhüllenfabrik" in Heilbronn. In 1878, Mayer bought the company's first folding machine at the Paris World Fair and in 1883 moved into new, self-built company premises. Mayer invented the gummed envelope and in 1909 opened a subsidiary in Dresden. In 1918, the company was called "Ernst Mayer - Briefhüllen, Trauer-, Papierausstattungen" (Ernst Mayer – Envelopes, Funerary and Paper Accroutements). The introduction of rotary presses in the 1920s allowed production to be developed further and the company employed a total of around 500 workers in the 1930s. During World War II, the entire production facilities were destroyed by British aerial bombs on 4 December 1944. After 1945, the Dresden subsidiary was nationalised as a nationally-owned enterprise. Mayer's sons, Alfred and Erich, were awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1952 for the rapid reconstruction of the company after the end of the war.
1960–2000: Expansion and development
In the 1960s and 1970s, around 100 machines were in use on the 8000 m2 factory floor in Heilbronn, processing around 4000 t of paper annually and producing from it approximately 400 million envelopes every year. By the end of the 1970s, Mayer had 200 employees and 9 independent representatives. The company plunged into the red in the 1980s due to fierce competition in the envelopes industry. In 1983, the Swedish paper processing concern Ljungdahls acquired 80% of the company as it stood on the brink of insolvency and transferred 26% of this ownership to Edlef Bartl. When the promised help failed to arrive from Ljungdahls, Bartl took over 100% of the company in 1984 and led it out of the crisis with an expansion of the product range and a restructuring of production and management processes. In 1986, Bartl founded BSB-Kuvert in Berlin with three reel-fed machines and in 1989 acquired competing company Lemppenau. In the same year, "Ernst Mayer" was renamed "Mayer-Kuvert". In 1991, the envelope factory in München-Pasing was taken over and in 1992, Bartl acquired from the Treuhandanstalt the GDR's largest envelope manufacturer, Torgau-Kuvert. In 1991, the new company building in Heilbronn was opened, uniting all production stages under one roof. In 1992, the company expanded to Czechia and in 1995 also to Romania and Poland, followed by Slovakia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia and the Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the late 1990s.
2000–2012: Mayer-Kuvert-network
In 2003, the company became Mayer-Kuvert-network. Over the next years, Mayer-Kuvert-network took over other companies in Europe: In 2006, two production facilities of Antalis Envelopes in the UK were acquired. In 2008, Mayer-Kuvert-ne |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LattePanda | The LattePanda is a Chinese single board computer. It is conceptually similar to the Raspberry Pi, but is significantly more expensive and runs Intel processors instead of ARM. It is capable of running Windows 10 or Linux.
The computer uses Intel Atom processors with a dedicated co-processor for managing the general purpose input / output (GPIO) pins similar to those found on a Raspberry Pi.
Features
The first version of the LattePanda, running Windows 10, was developed by a team in Shanghai through a Kickstarter campaign that began in late 2015. The later versions, Alpha 800 and Alpha 864, added Linux capability. The 864 has a 2.6HGz Intel Core M3 processor, which is designed for good performance and low power consumption to avoid overheating. It also has 8GB of onboard RAM and a built-in Intel HD Graphics 615, which can be used to power a 4K display. However, an External GPU can also be added to increase graphics capability.
There is also a dual M.2 connector that allows it to connect to fast NVM Express-based Solid-state drive storage, and an array of GPIO headers allowing connection to various peripherals in the same manner as a Raspberry Pi.
The Alpha has similar specifications and capability as a 12-inch MacBook, despite being around $1,000 cheaper ($358 compared to about $1,200). However, it is still substantially more expensive than the Pi.
Reception
The LattePanda has been well-received. Reviewers have found it runs Windows 10 acceptably and is responsive, and can be used for some video editing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsin-Chien%20Huang | Hsin-Chien Huang (traditional Chinese: 黃心健 born 13 January 1966 in Taipei) is an artist and director working in mixed media. Science, technology, new media, programming, and algorithms are tools he uses to bring the universe of his imagination to life. He served as artistic director for SEGA and Sony. Huang collaborated with pioneering American media artist Laurie Anderson on their VR work La Camera Insabbiata/Chalkroom which won the Best VR experience Award at the 74th Venice International Film Festival(it was the first edition of the festival that introduced its virtual-reality section); he also designed her 1995 CD-ROM, Puppet Motel. His work Bodyless was also nominated in the 76th of the festival. In 2011，Huang received the "Pride of Taiwan" honor from president of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou.
He founded Storynest Studio after 2001, which engaged in artistic creation and commercial design. Huang is currently a distinguished professor at National Taiwan Normal University.
His VR film Samsara won the 2021 SXSW Jury Award.
Early life
At the age of four, the cornea of Hsin-Chien Huang's right eye was damaged so badly he was practically blind in that eye, his vision only returning after receiving a donated cornea at age 14. He lacked depth perception in the interim, so seeing things "properly" has since felt like a luxury to him.
Huang's mother is the eminent oil painter, Lee Lan. Raised in an artistic environment, Huang was given his first computer, an Apple II, when he was in senior high school. Since that time, programming language has become his second language.
After graduating from college in Taiwan with a degree in mechanical engineering, he went on to earn a bachelor's degree in product design from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, followed by a master's degree from the Institute of Design at Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesley%20Sachs | Lesley Sachs (born 25 August 1958) is an Israeli social activist and leader of battles for gender equality and religious freedom, CEO and Artist. She served as the CEO of The Israel Women's Network (IWN), the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ) and Women of the Wall (WOW).
Biography
Sachs was born on 25 August 1958 in Johannesburg South Africa and grew up in Haifa from age five. After concluding her studies at Haifa University, she moved to Jerusalem where she studied hotel management and worked in the field for several years.
After volunteering for a year at the Israel Women's Network, she was appointed as the first spokesperson and PR director of the organization. Four years later she became the CEO. In both roles (1989-1997), she succeeded in bringing the topic of gender equality to the forefront of the Israeli public agenda.
Between 1997-2003 she served as CEO of the Israel Religious Action Center which strove amongst other things, to defend equality, social justice, and religious pluralism within Israel, utilizing the Israeli legal system and lobbying, and through publications.
In 2003 she was appointed as Vice President of the World Union for Progressive Judaism and Director of Beit Shmuel Mercaz Shimshon.
In 2008, Sachs founded "Project Kesher Israel". Its mission is to affect change in Israel by empowering Russian-speaking women to be leaders and activists. These women gain the skills and abilities to subsequently reach deep into the community, build Jewish identity, and influence change on key issues.
Sachs is a social commentary artist working in oil, acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Her style is figurative and realistic and depicts human interactions which reflect inequality and social injustice.
Women of the Wall
In 2008 she was appointed executive director of Women of the Wall. Sachs stood on the front line of a struggle which gained tremendous public attention due to the arrests which began the following year. Sachs was arrested four times for wearing a tallit (traditional prayer shawl) in the women's section of the Western Wall. At her fourth arrest she was brought in front of Justice Moshe Sobel who delivered a precedent-setting verdict which affirmed the legality of Women of the Wall’s prayer at the Western Wall. The arrests then ceased. In 2016 she was arrested again for bringing in and reading from a Torah scroll in the women's section of the Western Wall.
In her position as executive director, she gave hundreds of lectures and presentations in Israel and abroad and was interviewed countless times in the media. In 2014 she spearheaded a campaign posted on public buses, inviting girls to have a Bat Mitzvah ceremony with Women of the Wall and to read from Torah scroll at the Western Wall.
Volunteer public activity
Following her military service, she was one of the first volunteers in the Haifa Rape Crisis Center and one of the founding members of "Isha L'isha Haifa |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiuzhang%20%28quantum%20computer%29 | Jiuzhang () is the first photonic quantum computer to claim quantum supremacy. Previously quantum supremacy has been achieved only once in 2019 by Google’s Sycamore, however Google's computer was based on superconducting materials, and not photons.
Jiuzhang was developed by a team from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Pan Jianwei and Lu Chaoyang. The computer is named after Jiuzhang suanshu, an ancient Chinese mathematical classic.
On 3 December 2020, USTC announced in Science that Jiuzhang successfully performed Gaussian boson sampling in 200 seconds, with a maximum of 76 detected photons. The USTC group estimated that it would take 2.5 billion years for the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer to perform the same calculation.
Experimental setup
The setup involves a Verdi-pumped Mira 900 Ti:sapphire laser which is split into 13 paths of equal intensity and then shined on 25 PPKTP crystals to produce 25 two-mode squeezed states. Through a hybrid encoding this is equivalent to 50 single-mode squeezed states. The purity is increased from 98% to 99% by 12nm filtering. The 50 single-mode squeezed states are sent into a 100-mode interferometer and sampled by 100 single-photon detectors with an efficiency of 81%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ware%20report | Security Controls for Computer Systems, commonly called the Ware report, is a 1970 text by Willis Ware that was foundational in the field of computer security.
Development
A defense contractor in St. Louis, Missouri, had bought an IBM mainframe computer, which it was using for classified work on a fighter aircraft. To provide additional income, the contractor asked the Department of Defense (DoD) for permission to sell computer time on the mainframe to local businesses via remote terminals, while the classified work continued.
At the time, the DoD did not have a policy to cover this. The DoD's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) asked Ware - a RAND employee - to chair a committee to examine and report on the feasibility of security controls for computer systems.
The committee's report was a classified document given in January 1970 to the Defense Science Board (DSB), which had taken over the project from ARPA. After declassification, the report was published by RAND in October 1979.
Influence
The IEEE Computer Society said the report was widely circulated, and the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing said that it, together with Ware's 1967 Spring Joint Computer Conference session, marked the start of the field of computer security.
The report influenced security certification standards and processes, especially in the banking and defense industries, where the report was instrumental in creating the Orange Book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk%20Bear | Berserk Bear (aka Crouching Yeti, Dragonfly, Dragonfly 2.0, DYMALLOY, Energetic Bear, Havex, IRON LIBERTY, Koala, or TeamSpy) is a Russian cyber espionage group, sometimes known as an advanced persistent threat. According to the United States, the group is composed of "FSB hackers," either those directly employed by the FSB or Russian civilian, criminal hackers coerced into contracting as FSB hackers while still freelancing or moonlighting as criminal hackers. Four accused Berserk Bear participants, three FSB staff and one civilian, have been indicted in the United States and are regarded by the United States Department of Justice as fugitives.
Activities
Berserk Bear specializes in compromising utilities infrastructure, especially that belonging to companies responsible for water or energy distribution. It has performed these activities in at least Germany and the U.S. These operations are targeted towards surveillance and technical reconnaissance.
Berserk Bear has also targeted many state, local, and tribal government and aviation networks in the U.S., and as of October 1, 2020, had exfiltrated data from at least two victim servers. In particular, Berserk Bear is believed to have infiltrated the computer network of the city of Austin, Texas, during 2020.
The group is capable of producing its own advanced malware, although it sometimes seeks to mimic other hacking groups and conceal its activities.
Indictments unsealed 2022
In 2021 federal grand juries in the United States indicted three personnel of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and a civilian from the Central Research Institute of Chemistry and Mechanics (CNIIHM). These indictments were kept under seal until March 2022 when the United States publicly named the defendants and treated them as fugitives.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian%20Cyber%20Collaboration%20Centre | The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre (A3C) is a not-for-profit organisation funded largely by South Australian Government grants and based on collaboration of its member organisations, which focuses on cyber security. It is connected to the Department for Innovation and Skills and is located at Lot Fourteen in Adelaide, South Australia.
History
The former Chief Information Security Officer of Western Australia Police, Hai Tran, was appointed as the inaugural CEO in June 2020, ahead of its official launch on 6 July 2020. at Lot Fourteen on North Terrace in Adelaide.
The centre was established in collaboration with the federal and South Australian Government, as well as industry partners including BAE Systems Australia and Optus; academic institutions including UniSA, Flinders University, The University of Adelaide and TAFE SA; South Australia's Office for Cyber Security; Commonwealth's Defence Science and Technology Group; and the independent (partly government-funded) organisations AustCyber and the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre.
Before its opening, A3C had already launched a six-day pilot training course in collaboration with the University of Adelaide and aizoOn Australia, focused on digital forensics and incident response.
In November 2021, A3C extended its partnerships to include Cisco.
An invite-only panel discussion was organised by the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre in November 2022 with the topic of Australia's Security of Critical Infrastructure Act. Participants at the panel included DTEX Systems, Department of Home Affairs (Australia), NBN Co, Providence Consulting Group, MITRE Corporation and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
Role and responsibilities
The A3C's function is "to make cyberspace a better, and safer, place for organisations, corporations, agencies and institutions to do business".
Its work includes identifying vulnerabilities to cyber attacks; providing testing of all hardware and software components of IT systems (the Cyber Test Range); providing training in cyber security (the Cyber Training Academy); creating strategic and practical plans for implementing cyber security; and following progress and assessing the value of investments afterwards.
Training is an essential component of its work, as cybercrime affects about 25 per cent of businesses, South Australia is developing its defence, space and other technology industries, and there is a shortage of skilled workers in cyber security. In 2019 Minister of Innovation and Skills, David Pisoni forecasted up to 7500 job opportunities in the ICT sector in the state in the next five years, of which 1500 would need cyber security skills.
A3C also focuses on small businesses which may not have large resources to protect themselves from cyber attacks, aiming to help them foster collaborations with other organisations which can help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerging%20Drugs%20Network%20of%20Australia | The Emerging Drugs Network of Australia (EDNA) is a collaborative multi-agency project to detect new illicit drugs, and their clinical effects. It is also designed as an early warning system for public health systems across Australia, and to inform policy and decision making processes.
The early warning system involves sharing of information between emergency department physicians, toxicologists, and forensic laboratories across the country. This allows emerging trends to be discovered, and for specific treatment measures to be developed based on objective data.
The EDNA started from research conducted at Royal Perth Hospital in collaboration with ChemCentre, initiated after a large number of patients were hospitalised after consuming a drug, which they thought was ecstasy, on New Year's Eve 2013. In 2016, two patients in the intensive care unit were found, through analysis conducted by ChemCentre forensic scientists, to have consumed a toxic synthetic drug NBOMe. A quick public health response, including a warning by Western Australian police and pictures of the capsules, is thought to have prevented serious illnesses and deaths by deterring some people from taking the drug, according to a report by Royal Perth Hospital emergency doctors David McCutcheon and Jessamine Soderstrom presented to the New South Wales Coroners Court's 2019 inquest into the drug-related deaths at music festivals.
New South Wales Health and ChemCentre supported the EDNA initiative in 2019, and in 2020 the program received $3.7 million in federal funding over five years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Billboard%20Hot%20100%20number%20ones%20of%202021 | This is a list of the songs placed number one in the United States during 2021. The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing songs in the United States. Its data is compiled by MRC Data and published by American music magazine Billboard. The chart is based on each song's weekly physical and digital sales collectively, the amount of airplay it receives on American radio stations, and its streams on online digital music platforms.
Twenty-four acts reached number one in 2021, nine of whom earned their first number-one single: Olivia Rodrigo, Daniel Caesar, Giveon, Silk Sonic, Anderson .Paak, Polo G, The Kid Laroi, Future and Jack Harlow. BTS scored three number ones while Rodrigo, Justin Bieber, Drake and Lil Nas X scored two each, as the only acts to achieve multiple number-one songs in 2021.
2021 marked the first calendar year since 1991 to have at least 10 songs reach number one on the Hot 100 by the end of May. BTS spent the most weeks at the top spot of the Hot 100 in 2021, with twelve non-consecutive weeks. Their single "Butter" is the longest running number-one song of 2021, spending ten weeks atop the chart. Rodrigo's "Drivers License" was 2021's longest running number-one single by a female artist, with eight consecutive weeks atop. Taylor Swift scored her career's eighth number-one song this year with "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)", which broke the 49-year-old Hot 100 record of Don McLean's "American Pie" (1972) to become the longest song of all time to top the chart, clocking at 10 minutes and 13 seconds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-symbolic%20AI | Neuro-symbolic AI is a type of artificial intelligence that integrates neural and symbolic AI architectures to address the weaknesses of each, providing a robust AI capable of reasoning, learning, and cognitive modeling. As argued by Valiant and others, the effective construction of rich computational cognitive models demands the combination of symbolic reasoning and efficient machine learning. Gary Marcus, argued, "We cannot construct rich cognitive models in an adequate, automated way without the triumvirate of hybrid architecture, rich prior knowledge, and sophisticated techniques for reasoning." Further, "To build a robust, knowledge-driven approach to AI we must have the machinery of symbol manipulation in our toolkit. Too much useful knowledge is abstract to proceed without tools that represent and manipulate abstraction, and to date, the only known machinery that can manipulate such abstract knowledge reliably is the apparatus of symbol manipulation."
Henry Kautz, Francesca Rossi, and Bart Selman also argued for a synthesis. Their arguments attempt to address the two kinds of thinking, as discussed in Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking Fast and Slow. It describes cognition as encompassing two components: System 1 is fast, reflexive, intuitive, and unconscious. System 2 is slower, step-by-step, and explicit. System 1 is used for pattern recognition. System 2 handles planning, deduction, and deliberative thinking. In this view, deep learning best handles the first kind of cognition while symbolic reasoning best handles the second kind. Both are needed for a robust, reliable AI that can learn, reason, and interact with humans to accept advice and answer questions. Such dual-process models with explicit references to the two contrasting systems have been worked on since the 1990s, both in AI and in Cognitive Science, by multiple researchers.
Approaches
Approaches for integration are diverse. Henry Kautz's taxonomy of neuro-symbolic architectures, along with some examples, follows:
Symbolic Neural symbolic—is the current approach of many neural models in natural language processing, where words or subword tokens are the ultimate input and output of large language models. Examples include BERT, RoBERTa, and GPT-3.
Symbolic[Neural]—is exemplified by AlphaGo, where symbolic techniques are used to invoke neural techniques. In this case, the symbolic approach is Monte Carlo tree search and the neural techniques learn how to evaluate game positions.
Neural | Symbolic—uses a neural architecture to interpret perceptual data as symbols and relationships that are reasoned about symbolically. Neural-Concept Learner is an example.
Neural: Symbolic → Neural—relies on symbolic reasoning to generate or label training data that is subsequently learned by a deep learning model, e.g., to train a neural model for symbolic computation by using a Macsyma-like symbolic mathematics system to create or label examples.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiantLeap | GiantLeap is a child learning development evaluation tool that uses artificial intelligence gamification to turn the science of early childhood development into accessible and actionable insights for parents by producing a map of the child's early strengths and weaknesses. It started in 2018 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States.
History
GiantLeap, Inc. was founded in 2018 by Ori Hofnung and Nadav Goshen. The idea behind GiantLeap is Hofnung's own learning challenges in his growing up years as he could not read until age 12 and saw how his parents got lost in the world of child development. In 2019, GiantLeap was accepted at the Texas Medical Center in Houston as part of their Innovation Institute, becoming the youngest company to be selected into their accelerator program. It partnered with Advantage Testing, a private tutorial and test preparation firm of America. In 2020, it received $900,000 pre-seed investment in a funding round involving American venture capital fund GoAhead Ventures, Texas Medical Center, and Fusion LA, an accelerator program for Israeli companies in the USA.
Product
The GiantLeap child development evaluation tool is a system for receiving a comprehensive view of the child's developing brain, from advanced math, language, problem-solving, and motor abilities to social-emotional tendencies as well as challenges in these areas. The process is divided into two modules: the first module is a series of engaging games designed for a child as young as four and the second module is for parents to answer a detailed questionnaire and receive a fuller picture of the child’s functioning both at home and in school. Parents can repeat the questionnaire for revaluation and track progress. The app runs on both iPad and Android devices.
A team of scientists and pedagogical experts consisting of Sarit Ashkenazi, a neuropsychologist from the Hebrew University and the Stanford University; Lilla Dale McManis; educational psychologist; Hart Cohen, associate clinical professor of neurology at the University Of California and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; and Ran Geva, a neurobiologist from Hebrew University took part in developing the child evaluation tool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iod%C3%A9OS | iodéOS is an Android-based mobile operating system developed by French company iodé. The operating system is a fork of LineageOS and does not include Google Play Services, instead using MicroG as a free and open-source replacement.
Software
iodéOS is presented as a privacy-oriented LineageOS combined with MicroG and a firewall. From 2020 through November 2022, IodéOS was closed source and included proprietary apps. In November 2022, the company announced it was releasing version 3.3 as "open source" with options for uninstalling default apps. No license terms were specified, but multiple licenses can be found in each repository on GitLab, including "No license. All rights reserved" (proprietary).
Reception
According to Stefan Mey of Heise.de and "Sunny" of tarnkappe.info, iodéOS includes hosts file based ad and tracker blocking. According to "Sunny" of tarnkappe.info, users may install a VPN or an additional adblocker. According to Stefan Mey of heise.de, the operating system comes with F-Droid and Aurora Store app stores pre-installed. Manuel Vonau of AndroidPolice.com said it was "good" that the setup of a pre-installed phone isn't "much more complicated than with any other phone." However, inclusion of the Aurora Store meant the operating system still communicated with Google APIs and breaks Google's Terms of Service, but no warning is given.
In a review of iodeOS in April 2023, pentester Mike Kuketz said "iodéOS has been relatively successful in reducing Google's data collection mania - but not completely." As examples, to speed up location, the system accesses the Google SUPL server, and the included browser uses Google Safe Browsing. Kuketz warned, if you enable microG, more connections to Google will be made. Other criticisms included: Delayed delivery of (security) updates; Older devices do not receive full security updates of proprietary components like bootloader or firmware; and iodéOS does not support Verified Boot on every device. Kuketz concluded, "iodéOS could be improved especially by faster delivery of (security) updates. Overall, however, some restrictions in terms of security have to be accepted. Ultimately, iodéOS is mainly aimed at privacy-sensitive users who want to continue using their (older) devices."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General%20Personal%20Data%20Protection%20Law | The General Personal Data Protection Law (, or LGPD; Lei 13709/2018), is a statutory law on data protection and privacy in the Federative Republic of Brazil. The law's primary aim is to unify 40 different Brazilian laws that regulate the processing of personal data. The LGPD contains provisions and requirements related to the processing of personal data of individuals, where the data is of individuals located in Brazil, where the data is collected or processed in Brazil, or where the data is used to offer goods or services to individuals in Brazil.
The LGPD became law on September 18, 2020, but its enforceability was backdated August 16, 2020. Sanctions under the regulation will only be applied from August 1, 2021.
The national data protection authority responsible for enforcement of the LGPD is the , or ANPD.
Contents
The LGPD contains sixty-five articles and defines new legal concepts in Brazilian law, such as personal data and sensitive personal data. The law sets out the rights of the subjects of personal data, and under what conditions that data can be collected, processed, stored, and shared. It also specifies the obligations of the entity processing that data, and the exceptions to the law.
In Article 18, the LGPD allows the data subject right to do the following:
To confirm that their personal data is being processed.
To access their personal data.
To correct incomplete, incorrect or out-of-date personal data.
To anonymise, block, or delete any unnecessary, excessive, or non-compliant personal data.
To request that a data controller moves their personal data to another service or product provider.
To delete their personal data.
To be given information about how their personal data has been shared.
To be given information about their rights to not give consent to process their personal data.
To withdraw consent to process their personal data.
Article 7 describes the conditions under which personal data may be processed:
With the data subject's consent.
To comply with the data controller's legal or regulatory responsibilities.
For public administration and carrying out public policies set out in law, regulation, or in contracts.
For research studies (anonymised where possible).
To carry out a contract.
To exercise Brazilian law.
To protect life or personal safety.
By healthcare or sanitation professionals, to safeguard a person's health.
For the legitimate interest of the data controller or a third party, unless that would infringe upon the data subject's statutory rights.
To protect credit ratings.
Enforcement
Article 48 of the LGPD states that the data controller must inform the national data protection authority and the data subject, if a security incident occurs that may result in relevant damage or risk, in a reasonable time period (as defined by ANPD).
Article 52 states that the maximum fine for breaching LGPD is two percent of a private company's revenue in Brazil, up to a maximum of 50 million reais.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract%20Wikipedia | Abstract Wikipedia is an in-development project of the Wikimedia Foundation. It aims to use Wikifunctions to create a language-independent version of Wikipedia using its structured data. First conceived in 2020 (with a precursor proposal in 2013), Abstract Wikipedia has been under active development ever since, with the related project of Wikifunctions launched successfully in 2023. Nevertheless, the project has proved controversial. As envisioned, Abstract Wikipedia would consist of "Constructors" (templates for abstract statements), "Content" (the abstract statements themselves), and "Renderers" (which would automatically translate abstract statements into natural language).
History
Conception (2013–2020)
On 7 August 2013, Denny Vrandečić, the co-founder of Wikidata, suggested "an extension of the template system" where template calls would expand into content based on the language of the user. For example, a template call such as {{F12:Q64|Q5519|Q183}} could be variously expanded by Template:F12/en into "Berlin is the capital of Germany.", and by Template:F12/de into "" This has been viewed as a predecessor of Abstract Wikipedia proper.
Vrandečić proposed it again in a Google working paper in April 2020, formally proposed in May 2020 (as Wikilambda). It was approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees in July 2020 as Abstract Wikipedia.
Development (2020–present)
In April 2021, Vrandečić published an overview of the system in the computer science journal Communications of the ACM.
In January 2023, The Signpost reported on the slow progress of the Abstract Wikipedia project. According to an evaluation by four Google Fellows working on the project, it was at a "substantial risk of failure" due to its poor technical plan. The Google Fellows recommended that Abstract Wikipedia be decoupled from Wikifunctions, that Wikifunctions refine MediaWiki's support for programming in Lua rather than having a completely new language, and that Abstract Wikipedia converge on a unified approach to natural language generation (NLG) that builds on open source software if possible.
The Wikimedia Foundation staff responded to this report by completely rejecting the idea that Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions could be separated, and accusing the Google Fellows of making "fallacies and false comparisons". The Wikimedia Foundation also stated that using existing NLG pipelines like Grammatical Framework could not support certain languages such as the Niger–Congo B languages, and would also "replicate the trends of an imperialist English-focused Western-thinking industry.".
On 26 July 2023, Wikifunctions officially launched in read-only mode.
Design
Technical components
The Abstract Wikipedia project would consist of three main components:
Constructors, which enable abstract statements. The Abstract Wikipedia team prefers that these are hosted in Wikifunctions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman%27s%20algorithm | Feynman's algorithm is an algorithm that is used to simulate the operations of a quantum computer on a classical computer. It is based on the Path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, which was formulated by Richard Feynman.
Overview
An qubit quantum computer takes in a quantum circuit that contains gates and an input state . It then outputs a string of bits with probability .
In Schrödinger's algorithm, is calculated straightforwardly via matrix multiplication. That is, . The quantum state of the system can be tracked throughout its evolution.
In Feynman's path algorithm, is calculated by summing up the contributions of histories. That is, .
Schrödinger's takes less time to run compared to Feynman's while Feynman's takes more time and less space.
More precisely, Schrödinger's takes time and space while Feynman's takes time and space.
Example
Consider the problem of creating a Bell state. What is the probability that the resulting measurement will be ?
Since the quantum circuit that generates a Bell state is the H (Hadamard gate) gate followed by the CNOT gate, the unitary for this circuit is . In that case, using Schrödinger's algorithm. So probability resulting measurement will be is .
Using Feynman's algorithm, the Bell state circuit contains histories: . So = | + + + .
