https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumu%20%28social%20network%29 | Kumu (stylized in lowercase) is a Filipino video sharing and e-commerce social networking service owned and developed by Kumumedia Technologies, Inc. The social media platform is used to livestream curated programs created by app users and partner brands and as an e-commerce platform for app users and partner brands who want to sell their merchandise online. It was founded in 2017 and launched on Android and iOS devices in February 2018. Kumu caters mainly to the Philippine market and the Filipino diaspora. In October 2020, the app topped the download charts of both the Apple App Store and Google Play in the free apps category. The app aims to become a "super app" that combines the functionalities of other apps like YouTube, TikTok, Shopee, Instagram and Facebook Messenger into one. Kumu is considering adding offline events to its platform, such as fan meetings with popular livestreamers and a convention inspired by Comic-Con called Kumu-Con, and expand beyond livestreaming to e-commerce and payments.
History
Kumu was developed in 2017 then launched in February 2018 by Roland Ros, Rexy Dorado, Andrew Pineda, and Clare Ros, who are Filipino entrepreneurs that were based in the United States and have worked in technology and social enterprises. It was initially developed as a messaging app with a livestreaming feature targeted toward millennial and Generation Z Filipino users. The app's name was derived from the Filipino word "kamusta" (or kumusta), meaning "How are you?", which is a common greeting among Filipinos.
Kumu's livestreaming feature proved to be more popular among its users and the developers eventually shifted their focus towards this functionality and introduced other features. Registered users can also earn through brand sponsorships in their livestreams, similar to revenues that YouTube users can earn from ads on their videos. Kumu content creators can earn at least ₱20,000 (or about US$400) through livestreaming. With over 25,000 livestream broadcasts each day, Kumu has 3 million registered users each clocking an hour of daily average usage.
Aside from user created livestreams, Kumu also livestreams its own curated shows, mainly game shows such as Game Ka Na Ba? and Quiz Mo Ko. It has also partnered with various celebrities and brands to promote products through livestreaming. These include former actor and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, journalist Ces Drilon, TV host Boy Abunda, TV executive and actress Charo Santos, Sydney Crespo, Ruby Ibarra, Mica Javier, Apple Chiu, Brent Manalo, as well as Star Magic Philippines, Cornerstone Entertainment Group, and MOR Philippines.
In December 2018, Kumu announced that it had secured around $1.2 million in seed funding, led by Summit Media, Foxmont Capital Partners, and Two Culture Capital.
With the sudden popularity of podcasting amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Kumu added a podcasting feature in February 2020 to attract more users and content creators to use to app. The feature allows audio stre |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome%20Taxonomy%20Database | The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) is an online database that maintains information on a proposed nomenclature of prokaryotes, following a phylogenomic approach based on a set of conserved single-copy proteins. In addition to resolving paraphyletic groups, this method also reassigns taxonomic ranks algorithmically, updating names in both cases. Information for archaea was added in 2020, along with a species classification based on average nucleotide identity. Each update incorporates new genomes as well as automated and manual curation of the taxonomy.
An open-source tool called GTDB-Tk is available to classify draft genomes into the GTDB hierarchy. The GTDB system, via GTDB-Tk, has been used to catalogue not-yet-named bacteria in the human gut microbiome and other metagenomic sources.
The GTDB is incorporated into the Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria in 2019 as its phylogenomic resource.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalized%20odds | Equalized odds, also referred to as conditional procedure accuracy equality and disparate mistreatment, is a measure of fairness in machine learning. A classifier satisfies this definition if the subjects in the protected and unprotected groups have equal true positive rate and equal false positive rate, satisfying the formula:
For example, could be gender, race, or any other characteristics that we want to be free of bias, while would be whether the person is qualified for the degree, and the output would be the school's decision whether to offer the person to study for the degree. In this context, higher university enrollment rates of African Americans compared to whites with similar test scores might be necessary to fulfill the condition of equalized odds, if the "base rate" of differs between the groups.
The concept was originally defined for binary-valued . In 2017, Woodworth et al. generalized the concept further for multiple classes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajnimi | Trajnimi is a Kosovo-based free online education e-learning platform that offers training for the European Computer Driving Licence.computer literacy certification programme. The platform was created by Kushtrim Xhakli at the IPKO Institute and was launched in 2007.
History
The platform is used as a self study tool and as a teaching resource by educators and general audiences free of charge. The content uses the European Computer Driving License (ECDL) syllabus. Trajnimi received the official certification by ECDL Foundation as the first online IT educational platform in Albanian, accessible for Albanian speaking countries and diaspora.
Prior to Trajnimi launch there was no digital ICT training material in Albanian and face-to-face training was not afforded by the general public. The e-learning platform Trajnimi ('trajnimi' means training in Albanian), started to be developed at the end of 2006 and went live in June 2007. The e-learning platform is based on Adobe Flash.
After launch, the platform was deemed as a national treasure by Kosovo's prime minister, and the following year, it won the best practice award from the ECDL Foundation. The foundation cited the platform for adopting the ECDL "as a means to increase employability."
National e-Learning education in Kosovo
In 2008, the IPKO Institute donated Trajnimi to Kosovo's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology with about 20,000 people registered at the time of transfer of ownership. In the same year Kosovo's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology included Trajnimi as an extracurricular ICT activity in the public schools curricula where IT teachers would use the platform to teach ICT computing to students.
Some universities in Kosovo used Trajnimi as part of their curriculum syllabus including:
University of Prishtina
University of Applied Sciences in Ferizaj
Kolegji Biznesi
AAB College
Riinvest College
Pjetër Budi College
Awards
In 2008 the platform received the "Best Practice Award" by ECDL Foundation, during its annual meeting in Vienna, Austria for the efforts to promote digital literacy and increase employability in Kosovo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong%20and%20weak%20sampling | Strong and weak sampling are two sampling approach in Statistics, and are popular in computational cognitive science and language learning. In strong sampling, it is assumed that the data are intentionally generated as positive examples of a concept, while in weak sampling, it is assumed that the data are generated without any restrictions.
Formal Definition
In strong sampling, we assume observation is randomly sampled from the true hypothesis:
In weak sampling, we assume observations randomly sampled and then classified:
Consequence: Posterior computation under Weak Sampling
Therefore the likelihood for all hypotheses will be "ignored".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet%20of%20vehicles | Internet of vehicles (IoV) is a network of vehicles equipped with sensors, software, and the technologies that mediate between these with the aim of connecting & exchanging data over the Internet according to agreed standards. IoV evolved from Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks ("VANET", a category of mobile ad hoc network used for communication between vehicles and roadside systems), and is expected to ultimately evolve into an "Internet of autonomous vehicles". It is expected that IoV will be one of the enablers for an autonomous, connected, electric, and shared (ACES) Future Mobility.
Road vehicles as a product category depend upon numerous technology categories from real-time analytics to commodity sensors and embedded systems. For these to operate in symphony the IoV ecosystem is dependent upon modern infrastructure and architectures that distribute computational burden across multiple processing units in a network. In the consumer market, IoV technology is most typically referenced in discussions of smart cities and driverless cars. Many of these architectures depend for their functionality upon open-source software & systems, for instance Subaru whose vehicles' infotainment platform is able to detect a driver's wakefulness and sound an alarm to pull over for a rest.
As with other internets connecting real user/consumer experiences with networks to which those user/consumers have no access or control, concerns abound as to risks inherent in the growth of IoV, especially in the areas of privacy and security, and consequently industry and governmental moves to address these concerns have begun including the development of international standards & methods of real-time analysis. These are receiving attention from organisations including the Linux Foundation’s ELISA (Enabling Linux In Safety Applications), the connected vehicles initiative at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Connected Car Working Group at the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move%20Radio | Move Radio is a brand of adult contemporary radio stations heard across Canada. The network was launched on December 27, 2020, by Bell Media. The launch of the network involved a re-branding of eleven radio stations across Canada, five in Ontario, four in British Columbia, one in Nova Scotia and one in New Brunswick.
The launch of this network also involved the flipping of CJMG-FM's Top 40/CHR format to AC, as well the CHR format of CIBX-FM to hot AC. All stations adopted the slogan Today's Best Variety, which is similar to other stations that use AC and hot AC formats, and have since then dropped their former brandings, including two stations with the "EZ Rock" brand.
During November and December, "Move" plays all-Christmas music.
Programming
From the day of the launch, all stations would run jockless until January 4, 2021, with local staff returning on that day, including each station's local morning show hosts. On weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. beginning on January 4, 2021, all stations would air 60 minutes of commercial-free music every hour. On weekends, these stations would air a variety of local programming, along with the syndicated American Top 40.
On weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., most Move stations would be voice-tracked from their local markets, whereas those in Ottawa, Halifax, Fredericton, Peterborough, Kingston, Brockville and St. Catharines would be hosted by CHUM-FM's Ashley Greco. As a result, former midday host of Ottawa's station, Katharine Dines, moved into the afternoon drive slot. Trinette Atkinson, former afternoon drive host of Kingston's Pure Country station, has also moved into the afternoon drive slot of the city's "Move" station from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Austrian%20Bank | The Anglo-Österreichische Bank (), in shorthand Anglobank, was a bank founded in Vienna in 1863 with an extensive branch network in the Habsburg Monarchy and later in its successor states, primarily Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Following the collapse of the monarchy, the Anglobank came under the control of the Bank of England, and in 1921, its head office was moved to London where it was restructured as the Anglo-Austrian Bank. In 1926, it was renamed Anglo-International Bank to reflect the sale that year of most of its Austrian activities to Creditanstalt. As a consequence, the Anglo-International Bank became one of the Creditanstalt's main shareholders, and played a role in the internationally consequential collapse of Creditanstalt in 1931. After 1933, Anglo-International Bank stopped making new commitments. It remained formally in business until 1951, and was eventually liquidated in 1962.
In Czechoslovakia, the former Anglobank branches were restructured in 1922 into a significant domestic bank, the Anglo-Czechoslovak Bank headquartered in Prague, which remained in activity until being absorbed by Živnostenská Banka in 1948.
From its creation until leaving Austria in 1921, the Anglobank headquarters remained located in the at Strauchgasse 1–3, opposite the Old Vienna Stock Exchange. In 1864. The Anglobank had initially rented parts of the palace. It bought the property and remodeled it in 1871, whereby the courtyard was covered with glass and from then on served as a cash room. The building was repurposed after World War II as head office of .
Habsburg era
Anglo-Österreichische Bank, or Anglobank for short, was founded on in Vienna with British and Austrian capital, one of the first two “foreign banks” (the other being the Imperial Ottoman Bank, created in Constantinople that same year and known by its French acronym BIO) as opposed to the prior practice of creating domestic banks. The London bank Glyn, Mills, Leurie & Co. was significantly involved in the venture. Similarly as with the BIO, the board of directors () consisted of two committees of eight members each, one in Vienna and the other in London. The Anglobank’s initial capital was 20 million silver guilders in 100,000 shares. According to the articles of association, each member of the board of directors had to personally deposit at least 100 shares and received a fixed remuneration of 3000 silver guilders per year.
Its London office was initially established at St Mildred's Court, Poultry, and moved in the 1870s to 31, Lombard Street where it remained until World War I.
The Anglobank soon had considerable success, with a focus on railways expansion and corporate finance especially in mining, iron and steel. From 1864 to the end of 1868, total assets nearly quadrupled. The Anglobank opened its first branch in Lemberg (now Lviv) in the 1860s. A Hungarian affiliate founded in Pest in 1867, the Anglo-Hungarian Bank (), did not survive the Austro-Hungarian financial crash of |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Billboard%20Digital%20Song%20Sales%20number%20ones%20of%202021 | The Billboard Digital Song Sales chart is a chart that ranks the most downloaded songs in the United States. Its data is compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based on each song's weekly digital sales, which combines sales of different versions of a song by an act for a summarized figure.
In 2021, 28 acts reached number one (including features) with 22 songs. Fifteen artists achieved their first number-one digital song: Tom MacDonald, Gabby Barrett, Masked Wolf, Dua Lipa, DaBaby, Bryson Gray, Tyson James, Chandler Crump, Jack Harlow, State of Mine, Drew Jacobs, John Rich, Mike Rowe, Juice Wrld and Suga. The year was dominated by South Korean boy band BTS: they are the only act to have multiple number-one songs (5), one of only two acts to top the chart for multiple weeks, holding the top 10 digital song sales weeks of the year, and topping the chart for a total of 30 weeks. The band's "Dynamite" opened the year atop the chart, spending eight non-consecutive weeks in the lead (following its ten chart-topping weeks in 2020), making it the longest running number-one song in the chart's history, before being replaced by their own "Film Out". "Butter" later topped the chart for 18 non-consecutive weeks, tying the band's own "Dynamite", and accumulating at least 1,699,900 digital downloads.
Justin Bieber's "Anyone" became his 13th number-one song, breaking his tie with Drake for the most number-one songs by a male artist. It was replaced by singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo's debut single "Drivers License" which spent three weeks atop the chart, the only song not by BTS to top the chart for multiple weeks. Taylor Swift's "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)", a re-recorded version of her 2012 single "All Too Well", debuted atop the chart, extending her record as the artist with the most number-one songs on the chart, with 23. Following the release of a remix of The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" with Ariana Grande, the song jumped to the number-one spot, becoming their sixth and eighth number-ones on the chart respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS-2000 | The PS-2000 (ПС-2000, , reconfigurable system) was a Soviet supercomputer built in the 1980s.
History
In the middle of the 1970s, it appeared, in the USSR, that the computing power available to process geophysics data, real-time space probes data, mineral prospecting, weather forecast, etc. was far to be sufficient, and that a new class of supercomputers, hundreds of times more powerful than the existing installed systems, was needed.
The development of ПС-2000 began in 1978, as a joint project between the Institute of Control Problems (IPU) in Moscow and the Impul's Scientific Production Association in Severodonetsk, under the supervision of Il’ya Itenberg and Vladislav Rezanov of Impul's and Iveri Prangishvili of IPU.
The computer entered production in 1981, and was manufactured in various configuration until 1988.
During the 1980s and the 1990s, the Roscosmos mission control computing complex was organized around an Elbrus 2 supercomputer, with a PS-2000 as a front processing supercomputer for telemetry data.
Architecture
The PS-2000 is a SIMD-type supercomputer.
It consists of 8 to 64 processing element (PE), cadenced at 3 MHz , that are connected to each other, under the control of a common command unit (OUU), and connected each to 12 or 48 KB of memory.
Eight processing elements are grouped in a processing device (UO).
Each PE use 24 bits registers, in fixed or floating point format. An addition takes 0.96 µs and a multiplication takes 1.6 µs, allowing theoretic peak performances of 200 MIPS for a full configuration system.
The computer is formed from 3 cabinets types:
Base module : one UO and one OUU
Extension module 1 : one UO (8 PE)
Extension module 2 : two UO (16 PE)
In the simplest configuration, the supercomputer consists of only one cabinet. In the full configuration, with 8 UO, the supercomputer consists of 5 cabinets, organised in a double-Y shape.

Cast and characters
The Order of Unicorn
Hazel Doupe as Emma Fairfax, the daughter of the wealthy Fairfax family and the current host of the soul of Melinda, a powerful sorceress. However, due to the early reawakening of Melinda from circumstance, both Emma and Melinda's personalities conflict with each other, and she ends up losing control of her powers during any form of emotional outburst.
Grey DeLisle as the original Melinda. DeLisle also voices June Way, a mysterious kitsune somehow connected to the Evil who can appear in a small or large quadruped form or take the form of an anthropomorphic fox woman, and Clarice Leydoux, a member of the "Reawakened" who claims to be descended from a prior host of Melinda.
Marley Cherry Hilborne as a child version of the original Melinda, who was inadvertently responsible for the creation of the Evil.
Demari Hunte as Alfie, an orphan who lived in the remains of an abandoned school and the current host of the soul of Seng, a cosmic monk. Being reincarnated in a child has made the cosmic plane too much to comprehend, leaving him in a dream-like stupor, though he eventually comes around and becomes far more focused and aware.
Alain Uy as the original Seng. He is credited as "Ancient Egypt Seng". Uy also voices Lao Xi Sheng, a member of the "Reawakened" who claims to be descended from a prior host of Seng.
Victor Alli as an adult version of Alfie in the cosmic realm.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informit%20%28database%29 | Informit is as an online database that provides access to over 100 databases, some of which provide full-text sources. The online versions of the Australian Public Affairs Information Service (APAIS) subject index, and the Australian Public Affairs Full Text (APAFT) are part of the Informit database collection.
Informit is also the name of a subsidiary company owned by RMIT Training, a subsidiary of RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, which owns and manages the database.
History
The precursor to the Informit databases was a printed series of bibliographic indexes known as the Australian Public Affairs Information Service: A subject index to current literature, compiled and published by the then Commonwealth National Library from 1945, and from 1961 issued by the library under its later name, the National Library of Australia (NLA). In 1972 the name changed to APAIS: Australian Public Affairs Information Service, a subject index to current literature. It was cumulated annually, and published in hardcopy until 2000, after which it was published as APAIS (Online). APAIS (Online) continued to be produced by the National Library until 2013, after which Informit took over its production, management and further development. Informit created online coverage from the printed version backwards to around 1978.
APAIS still exists, described as "a subject index to scholarly articles in the social sciences and humanities published in Australia, and to selected journal articles, conference papers, books and newspaper articles on Australian economic, social, political and cultural affairs". Approximately 12,000 new articles continue to be indexed each year, on topics such as diverse as Aboriginal studies, anthropology and archaeology; business, accounting, management; health; history; law; and religion.
Informit databases
Apart from APAIS, Informit also includes a range of other online products. According to its website in 2020, its databases contain "over 8 million records from 100 databases of expert-curated, peer-reviewed content", to benefit students and researchers of all kinds. It originally built its online platform for RMIT students, and staff, but now provides information on a subscription basis to anyone. It collaborates with libraries, governments, publishers and others around the world, and clients include the British Library, the European Union's Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER), Oxford University and the Australia Council.
The databases, numbering over 100, are grouped into four main sections by Informit: full-text, backfiles, index-only databases and media databases.
The full text section includes Australian Public Affairs Full Text, also known as APAFT, which includes full-text articles back to 1994, and index records back to 1978. Other full-text databases include the Asia Collection and AGIS Plus Text (a multi-disciplinary database covering law-related topics).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Billboard%20Adult%20Contemporary%20number%20ones%20of%202021 | Adult Contemporary is a chart published by Billboard ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music (AC) market, based on weekly airplay data from radio stations compiled by Broadcast Data Systems.
In the issue of Billboard dated January 2, "White Christmas" by Meghan Trainor featuring Seth MacFarlane was at number one, its fourth week in the top spot. The following week it was replaced by "Blinding Lights" by Canadian singer the Weeknd, which returned to number one following a five-week run in the previous year, and topped the chart for 30 non-consecutive weeks. Its run was ended by "Levitating" by English singer Dua Lipa in the issue of Billboard dated July 31. "Blinding Lights" then returned to the top spot for a single week only for "Levitating" to replace it once again and hold the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks. The total of 35 weeks which the song spent at number one on the AC chart was one week short of the record held by "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 and Cardi B.
In the issue dated November 13, British singer Adele topped the chart with "Easy on Me", which was her first chart topper since 2016. The song reached number one in its fourth week on the listing, the fastest rise to the top spot by a non-Christmas song since the same singer's track "Hello" in 2015 and tied for the second-fastest such rise since the chart began to be based on Nielsen data in 1993. It was replaced by another song by a British singer, Ed Sheeran's "Bad Habits", which reached the top spot in its 22nd week on the chart. In the issue dated December 11, Canadian singer Michael Bublé topped the chart with his version of the 1940s song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!". The song continued a trend of Christmas-themed tracks topping the AC chart in December, reflecting the fact that adult contemporary radio stations usually switch to playing exclusively festive songs in the period leading up to the holiday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications%20of%20cybernetics%20in%20economics | Economics is one domain in which cybernetics has had application and influence.
In the Soviet Union
The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia defines Economic cybernetics as a scientific field wherein cybernetic approaches are applied to economics. It facilitates a dialogue between microsystems and macrosystems.
The design of self-regulating control systems for a real-time planned economy was explored by economist Oskar Lange, cyberneticist Viktor Glushkov, and other Soviet cyberneticists during the 1960s. By the time information technology was developed enough to enable feasible economic planning based on computers, the Soviet Union and eastern bloc countries began moving away from planning and eventually collapsed.
Project Cybersyn
Hayek
Friedrich Hayek attended the 1960 Symposium on Principles of Self-Organization, organised by Heinz von Foerster.
Hayek mentions cybernetics as a discipline that could help economists understand the "self-organizing or self-generating systems" called markets. Being "complex phenomena", the best way to examine market functions is by using the feedback mechanism, explained by cybernetic theorists. That way, economists could make "pattern predictions".
Therefore, the market for Hayek is a "communication system", an "efficient mechanism for digesting dispersed information". The economist and a cyberneticist are like gardeners who are "providing the appropriate environment". Hayek's definition of information is idiosyncratic and precedes the information theory used in cybernetics and the natural sciences.
Finally, Hayek also considers Adam Smith's idea of the invisible hand as an anticipation of the operation of the feedback mechanism in cybernetics. In the same book, Law, Legislation and Liberty, Hayek mentions, along with cybernetics, that economists should rely on the scientific findings of Ludwig von Bertalanffy general systems theory, along with information and communication theory and semiotics.
Towards a New Socialism
A proposal for a "New Socialism" was outlined by the computer scientists Paul Cockshott and Allin Cottrell in 1995 (Towards a New Socialism), where computers determine and manage the flows and allocation of resources among socially owned enterprises.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipnic%3A%20Ultimate%20Pinball | Flipnic: Ultimate Pinball is a 2003 pinball video game for the PlayStation 2, developed by
Sony Computer Entertainment.
Gameplay
Flipnic features a wide variety of virtual pinball tables, some with realistic physics, others with antigravity, vertical climbs and other variations.
Reception
In 2011, Flipnic was listed in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, where it was described as "a video game concept album about pinball games."
Writing on Games Asylum, Matt Gander praised it, saying "Gravity and realistic ball physics were thrown out the window, in favour of tables filled with loops and rollercoaster-style tracks for balls to whizz around in," but noted the tendency of the game to crash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19%20misinformation%20by%20governments | During the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, many people began to spread false or un-confirmed data and information. This included politicians and other government officials from administrations in several countries. Misinformation about the virus includes its origin, how it spreads, and methods of preventing and curing the disease. Some downplayed the threat of the pandemic, and made false statements about preventative measures, death rates and testing within their own countries. Some have also spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Changing policies also created confusion and contributed to the spread of misinformation. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) originally discouraged use of face masks by the general public in early 2020, advising "If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with suspected 2019-nCoV infection," although the WHO later changed their advice to encourage public wearing of face masks.
Argentina
Argentinian president Alberto Fernández and health minister Ginés García have been accused of spreading misinformation related to COVID-19 multiple times.
In a radio interview Fernández recommended drinking warm drinks since "heat kills the virus". Scientific studies proved that this information is false. Fernández, in response to criticism, later said: "It's a virus that, according to all medical reports in the world, dies at 26°C. Argentina was in a climatic scenario where temperature was around 30°C so it would be hard for the virus to survive." He later added: "The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to drink warm drinks since heat kills the virus"; however, the WHO did not recommend that at all.
In June, in a press conference, Buenos Aires Province governor Axel Kicillof falsely stated that Spain was in an extremely strict lockdown at that time. A few hours later, the Spanish embassy in Argentina denied it.
Brazil
Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro openly attempted to force state and municipal governments to revoke social isolation measures they had begun by launching an anti-lockdown campaign called "o Brasil não pode parar" (Brazil can't stop). It received massive backlash both from the media and from the public, and was blocked by the Supreme Court justice.
Even after the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency approved the usage of CoronaVac and the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, Bolsonaro said "these are experimental vaccines with no scientific evidence". Bolsonaro also rails against face mask usage and is commonly seen in public without wearing a mask.
In spite of studies showing the ineffectiveness of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, the Brazilian president continued to peddle the drug in posts and live webinars on social media.
Some analysts have noted that Bolsonaro's positions mimic those of former US president Donald Trump, who during his administration also tried to downplay the pandemic and then pressured states to abandon so |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star%20ng%20Pasko | "Star ng Pasko" () is a Filipino-language Christmas song produced by the media company and television network ABS-CBN for its 2009 Christmas station identification titled "Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko" (). The song was released on November 4, 2009.
Concept
Written by lyricist Robert G. Labayen and composers Marcus and Amber Davis, it serves as a Christmas message of hope, unity, and thankfulness to God for Filipinos in the wake of the disasters caused by Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. The use of the nickname "Bro" to refer to God comes from the dialogue of the lead character Santino, portrayed by Zaijian Jaranilla in the television series May Bukas Pa, which was the most popular program in the Philippines in 2009.
The original concept for the station ID was “Dumadaloy Ang Liwanag”, according to production manager Danie Sedilla, but was revised after Ondoy and Pepeng's onslaught. Robert Labayen rewrote the song to be more inspirational in light of the aforementioned tragedies, recalling how he was "crying while writing [Star ng Pasko] on the roof deck". Star ng Pasko was also the first ABS-CBN Christmas station ID to use a Contemporary R&B beat.
"Star ng Pasko" was unveiled as part of the station ID on November 4, 2009, and became an immediate success among Filipinos. Approximately 200 personalities who are under ABS-CBN were involved in the production of "Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko," including KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual, Billy Crawford, Aiza Seguerra, Nina, Mark Bautista, Rachelle Ann Go and Sarah Geronimo among others. Shooting for the station ID lasted for seven days, and some scenes, including the opening, were shot in Brgy. Banaba, San Mateo, which was one of the areas affected by Typhoon Ondoy.
This station ID also marked Dolphy's last ABS-CBN station ID appearance, and the first time John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin appeared together in one frame (during the bridge part).
The song uses the musical tune with Star ng Pasko's predecessors 2002's Isang Pamilya, Isang Puso, Ngayong Pasko, 2004's Sabay Tayo, Kapamilya, and 2007's Walang Mag-iisa Ngayong Pasko which were released 7, 5, and 2 years before the release of Star ng Pasko, respectively.
Legacy
In the years since the song's release, it is often considered the most popular Christmas station ID song of ABS-CBN. In 2010, the station ID won a Silver Award for Best Media Initiated Campaign at the 4th Tambuli Awards. Labayen himself considers the song to be his career's best work. It was also nominated for Best Christmas Recording at the 2010 Awit Awards.
As a result of Star ng Pasko's success, the musical tune that was first used on 2002's Isang Pamilya, Isang Puso, Ngayong Pasko (with the tune is used on Star ng Pasko itself) and lyrics being used on the song were continued on the network's succeeding Christmas Station IDs, which are the 2010's Ngayong Pasko Magniningning Ang Pilipino (, also a nationalism and patriotism-themed song because of the usage of a Philippine flag within the s |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon%20Network%20and%20LGBT%20representation | Cartoon Network, an American TV channel which launched in 1992, and Adult Swim, its adult-oriented nighttime programming block which launched in 2001, has regularly featured lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) characters in its programming.
In the 2010s, Cartoon Network featured multiple cartoons whose main characters expressed their identity and were featured in LGBT-focused storylines. These characters include Garnet, Pearl, and Princess Bubblegum. The network hosted shows which were said to be "strong champions for LGBT representation," such as Adventure Time and Steven Universe. This representation was difficult to achieve, as Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, was told by executives that the inclusion of a central queer romance could have ended her show. At the time the iconic wedding episode of Steven Universe was first drafted, gay marriage was not yet legal in most of the United States.
The role of Cartoon Network shows in LGBTQ representation continued in the 2020s, with the airing of Steven Universe Future on the network and Adventure Time: Distant Lands streaming on HBO Max, along with characters in DC Super Hero Girls. Other shows with LGBTQ characters were OK K.O.!: Let's Be Heroes and Craig of the Creek. In December 2020, Amy Friedman, head of programming for Cartoon Network and HBO Max Kids & Family, stated that they are looking "at ourselves across the inclusion and equity spectrum," including the LGBTQ+ community, to evaluate projects in production, development, and post-greenlighting.
Comparison to other networks
Some reviewers argue that, when Disney and Cartoon Network are compared, it is "easy to see who actually cares about LGBT representation," noting that for shows on Cartoon Network, "LGBT characters aren't centered around their sexuality."
For instance, the Disney Channel has struggled with LGBTQ representation in their animated series, and their content has often included LGBT stereotypes, one example being queer-coded characters in Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Mulan. However, the animated series The Owl House is a recent series by Disney that is a positive example of the company incorporating LGBTQ+ representation into their shows. The series, which ran from 2020 to 2023, concerns protagonist Luz Noceda, a 14-year-old Dominican-American girl who made history as Disney's first openly bisexual protagonist.
1990s
In the 1990s, queer coded characters appeared in various Cartoon Network series, such as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Mission Hill, episodes of Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which aired on Cartoon Network (1994-1999; 2001); Adult Swim (2001-2004), and GameTap (2006-2008), included a gay character. On December 25, 1994, Lokar, a locust alien and member of the Council of Doom, was introduced in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast Christmas special A Space Ghost Christmas. Supplementary material for the series had Lokar referred to himself as a C |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20Table%20Network | Open Table Network (OTN) is a Christian charity which supports church communities for LGBT people and their allies.
History
In June 2008, the first Open Table community was founded at St Bride's Church, Liverpool; by 2019, the network consisted of 17 communities in England and Wales. An article in the book Journeys in Grace and Truth, edited by Jayne Ozanne, describes the founding and history of Open Table.
In Christianity, "open table" refers to the custom of offering communion to all baptised Christians regardless of denomination.
Open Table began as a fresh expression hosted by the Team Parish of St Luke in the City, Liverpool, which is served by the churches of St Bride, St Dunstan, and St Michael in the City.
Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Team Rector at St Luke in the City, advocates offering control of church organisations to marginalised groups, such as LGBT Christians; she describes Open Table as an "electrifying" example of this idea working successfully in practice.
In 2016, Paul Bayes, Bishop of Liverpool until February 2022, called for changes in the Church of England's attitudes to lesbian and gay people; recalling to The Guardian a visit to the Open Table congregation in Liverpool, he said: "I saw their faithfulness as Christians, often in difficult circumstances, sometimes in trying to say who they are within the church. I want to make room for a congregation like Open Table." In 2019, Bayes described Open Table as "one of the fastest growing Church planting movements in England".
In 2019, Open Table successfully campaigned for the Home Office to grant Yew Fook Sam, a gay Malaysian, asylum for five years. The campaign started by Open Table and promoted by the Liverpool Echo gathered more than 5000 signatures to an online petition.
Kieran Bohan is Coordinator of the Open Table Network. He broadcast a reflection on Open Table as part of a BBC Radio 4 service led by Rachel Mann in September 2020. In May 2022, he and his partner celebrated the tenth anniversary of their civil partnership, the first in the UK to be celebrated in a religious building.
In 2020, the Open Table Network received a £15,000 grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to fund staff time and technology to help support members of OTN communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 19 March 2021, the Charity Commission registered the Open Table Network as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, whose charitable object is the "advancement of the Christian faith, in particular but not exclusively amongst lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex or asexual Christians". The trustees are Alex Clare-Young (co-chair), Sarah Hobbs (co-chair), Anne Bennett, Augustine Tanner-Ihm, Lucy Berry, Neil Rees, and Rebekah Greenbank. At the time of registration, there were 18 Open Table communities. According to the charity's annual report for 2021, there were 21 communities by the end of that year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon%20Craig%20%28sports%20executive%29 | Gordon Craig (c. 1936) is a Canadian sport and television executive. He is the founder of The Sports Network and Réseau des sports and inducted member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. In 2020, Craig was named one of the 50 most influential Toronto sporting figures of the past 50 years by Steve Simmons and received the Brian Williams Media Award from the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame.
Early life
Craig was born in 1936 in Brandon, Manitoba. Growing up, he was encouraged by his parents to enrol at United College before transferring after one year to the University of Manitoba where he majored in geology.
Career
Through a family connection, Craig accepted a mailroom position with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Manitoba in 1954. From there, he was promoted from delivering mail to hanging lights in the studios to working the camera as part of the Canadian Football League (CFL) crew. While with CBC, Craig planned and produced TV coverage for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the Russia-Canada hockey tours in 1972 and 1974. During the 1976 Olympics, Craig convinced senior management to cover the events 24/7, only breaking for news coverage, which eventually become the standard for all future Olympic coverage.
Craig eventually left his position as director of operations for CBC English-language radio and TV in 1983 to become the president of Action Canada Sports Network. His appointment was made in an effort to create the first sporting network television channel. On September 1, 1984, he launched The Sports Network (TSN), a 24-hour-a-day all sports channel on a discretionary user-pay basis. Craig stated that TSN was not licensed to compete with CBC and CTV; it was licensed to complement them. They signed the Toronto Blue Jays to an exclusive package on TSN in 1984 and followed this up with a Montreal Expos package. They also supported the Special Olympics and provided coverage of the events.
From there, TSN proved to be a success, with the network gaining more than one million Canadian subscribers between 1984 and 1987. The Bureau of Broadcast Measurement found that more viewers watched TSN in the three-month period starting in January than any other pay-TV network. In 1988, TSN became the first cable specialty service to cover the Olympic games. As a result of his success, Craig was considered as a possible replacement for Douglas Mitchell as the new commissioner of the CFL. Although he was not given the job, Craig was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his corporate support.
In 1995, Craig led a management consortium that won a bidding war to buy the broadcasting operations of John Labatt Ltd., which includes ESPN. With this new acquisition, Craig expanded TSN into a Montreal network. After selling NetStar to CTV Inc. in 2000, Gordon decided to retire.
Awards
In 2014, Craig was named to the Order of Canada for his "pioneering contributions to sports br |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European%20Processor%20Initiative | The (EPI) is a European processor project to design and build a new family of European low-power processors for supercomputers, Big Data, automotive, and offering high performance on traditional HPC applications and emerging applications such as on machine learning. It is led by a consortium of European companies and universities. The project is divided in multiple phases funded under Specific Grant Agreements. The first grant agreement is implemented under the European Commission program Horizon 2020 (FPA: 800928) in the December 2018 to November 2021 time span. The second agreement will be implemented afterwards under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking which issued a call answered to in January 2021 by the same consortium (H2020-JTI-EuroHPC-2020-02 FPA in EPI (phase II)).
The processor is a SoC, of RISC technology, implementing microprocessor cores of ARM architecture and accelerators, specialised in matrix calculations and deep learning for artificial intelligence. The processor is designed to be integrated in an exascale supercomputer, but also to be implemented in cars.
Objectives
The aim of the EPI project is to design and build a high-performance, low-power processor, implementing vector instructions and specific accelerators, such as accelerators for AI, with high-bandwidth memory access. The design will be based on the results obtained through an intensive use of simulation, the development of a complete software stack and the use of advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies. During the development of the processor, a co-design methodology will be implemented to ensure that the processor is suitable for efficiently running many applications and that it is equipped with the appropriate software development tools. The objective of the EPI is to develop European know-how on the design and construction of processors for high-performance computing, allowing Europe technological sovereignty.
Members
EPI is a non-legal entity, a project organized by 30 institutions from 10 countries in Europe. The members of the consortium are:
History
The initiative started in 2015, in the aim to produce an exascale supercomputer by 2023. The first phase of the project started in December 2018. In the summer of 2019, the basis of the architecture was decided. In January 2020, the first prototype was presented.
Organization of the project
The European Processor Initiative has five streams of operation. The first four are technical streams (Common Platform and Global Architecture, HPC General Purpose Processor, Accelerator, Automotive platform), while the last one is dedicated to the coordination and communication activities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense%3A%20A%20Cyberpunk%20Ghost%20Story | Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is an indie survival horror game released in 2020 for Microsoft Windows and macOS, in 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, and in 2022 for Xbox One. The game features a blend of Chinese folklore and Cyberpunk themes, while drawing gameplay inspiration from the Fatal Frame and Clock Tower franchises.
Gameplay
The world can be explored via pointing and clicking to reveal elements and solve puzzles. The main character has cybernetic ocular implants, which allow for zooming in on important areas for a closer look.
Plot
Set in 2083, Neo Hong Kong, heroine Mei-Lin Mak must explore the ruins of Chong Sing Apartments, discovering the history of its 14 lost souls, as well as her own family's past.
Release
The game was released for Windows via Steam August 25, 2020, but temporarily pulled the next day for bug fixes and difficulty tweaks.
Controversy
Following the game's release on Switch, Top Hat Studios released a statement indicating they would not censor the game, despite receiving calls on social media to censor the game and death threats relating to the game's art style. Though TheGamer questioned whether the statement was instead a manufactured controversy, noting the game received an influx of reviews following the statement, most of which they said were from people who barely played the game, and which contained statements in opposition to "social justice warriors." The Gamer also argued that the art-style present in the game is outdated and that therefore criticism of it is justified. Top Hat Studios responded to the article by TheGamer, ResetEra, and other venues, addressing the accusations of manufactured controversy by providing screenshots of these threats in a Twitter post.
Reception
On Metacritic the Switch version game holds a 55 rating based on 7 reviews indicating "mixed or average reviews". In a review for the PC version for Noisy Pixel Azario Lopez said the game was "a call back to classic survival horror adventures that seemed to cater so much to the developer's needs that it left out the most important part: The player" and that "The story will rarely make sense, and the haphazard nature of the puzzle design force many moments of aimless backtracking." While Cubed3 said in a review of the PC version "fails as an adventure game." While Finger Guns said in a review of the Switch version that "For a game about spirits, Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is pretty soulless. A by-the-numbers backtracking horror game in the vein of Clock Tower its structure and content feel lackluster and a little disappointing if you went in expecting cyberpunk themes."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystulia | Nystulia (1–147, 2–148) is a road built as a three-part road network in a residential area of the same name in the village of Ask in the municipality of Gjerdrum in Viken county. The road has access via three intersections from the road Fjellinna, where each branch of Nystulia does not meet in the residential area.
The river Tistilbekken flows partly open and partly in pipes through Nystulia.
The residential area was hit by the 2020 Gjerdrum landslide on the night of 30 December 2020, which is described as the most serious in Norway of this type in recent times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourcetrail | Sourcetrail was a FOSS source code explorer that provided interactive dependency graphs and support for multiple programming languages including C, C++, Java and Python.
History
The project was started by Eberhard Gräther after an internship at Google where he worked on Google Chrome, and noticed that he consumed a lot of time (1 month) to implement a simple feature that he expected to be done in 1–2 hours. This was his motivation to develop a tool that helps in understanding the consequences of source code modifications. The project started as a commercial project in 2016 under the name Coati. In November 2019, Sourcetrail was released as open-source software under version three of the GNU General Public License.
The project was discontinued in 2021.
Concept
Most of a programmer's time is invested in reading the source code. Therefore, Sourcetrail is intended to help the developers to understand the source code and the relationship between different components. Sourcetrail builds a dependency graph after indexing the source code files and provides a graphical overview of the source code.
It is built in an extendable way, so it could be extended to support more programming languages.

Its locations include St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, St. Mary's General Hospital in Kitchener, St. Joseph's Health Centre in Guelph, St. Joseph's Home Care, St. Joseph's Lifecare Centre in Brantford, and St. Joseph's Villa in Dundas.
History
The St. Josephs' Health System evolved from hospitals and other institutions created by the Sisters of St. Joseph's Hamilton branch such as St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and the St. Joseph's Villa.
An external review concluded that 9 patients in the St. Joseph's Health System died by suicide in 2016 while being treated as patients or on a day pass. Two families of the deceased filed each filed a 8.5 million dollar negligence lawsuit against the St. Joseph's Health System in October 2017.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, St. Joseph's Villa had a COVID-19 outbreak starting November 2020, resulting in at least 55 infections and 8 deaths.
Tom Stewart, the President and CEO of the St. Joseph's Health System, took an international holiday vacation to the Dominican Republic and other countries from December 18, 2020 until January 5, 2021, contrary to public health advice to avoid non-essential international travel. Upon his vacation being reported on by the press, Stewart apologized, said he regretted it, and stated that everyone should avoid non-essential travel. Union leaders representing Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, and SEIU Healthcare characterized Stewart's decision as "irresponsible" and poor leadership during a time that frontline health workers were struggling. On January 7, 2021, a day after Niagara Health System terminated its CEO-sharing agreement with St. Joseph's Health System, Stewart was removed as President and CEO by the board of directors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoLa%20%28software%29 | LoLa (low latency audio visual streaming system) is proprietary networked music performance software, first conceived in 2005, that enables real-time rehearsing and performing with musicians at remote locations, overcoming latency - the time lapse that occurs while (compressed) audio streams travel to and from each musician.
Unlike similar systems, LoLa offers ultra-low latency video as well as audio streaming, and for this reason has extremely stringent hardware requirements (estimated cost over 12,600 euros). The current version supports up to 3 connections, with up to 4 cameras per site. Over 140 sites - primarily universities and conservatoires - are listed as LoLa installations.
LoLa was conceived in 2005, when a Miami orchestra ran a master class accompanied by the Italian Research and Academic Network (GARR). Alternative solutions suggested at the time included EtherSound (Paris), NetworkSound (Silicon Valley) and Dante (Sydney) but these were limited to high-speed university or laboratory-based local networks.
It has been used for live streaming by individual professional musicians unable to perform in public during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, as well as international concerts. Pinchas Zukerman described the technology as "the savior of the profession".

Sanctions
In 2021, Arvan engaged in a contract with Ministry of ICT of Iran on Iran Cloud project. The project is set to deploy National Information Network, a network that allows the Iranian government to cut off Iranian users' access to the internet and provide them only domestic networks. Abr Arvan's Public Relations Manager has denied the company's involvement in the Internet nationalization or restriction project.
In 2022, a collaboration between Correctiv, Die Tageszeitung and netzpolitik.org claimed that a German company supports Abr Arvan in circumventing sanctions.
In 14 November 2022 European Union imposed sanctions on the Iranian cloud provider Arvancloud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural%20network%20quantum%20states | Neural Network Quantum States (NQS or NNQS) is a general class of variational quantum states parameterized in terms of an artificial neural network. It was first introduced in 2017 by the physicists Giuseppe Carleo and Matthias Troyer to approximate wave functions of many-body quantum systems.
Given a many-body quantum state comprising degrees of freedom and a choice of associated quantum numbers , then an NQS parameterizes the wave-function amplitudes
where is an artificial neural network of parameters (weights) , input variables () and one complex-valued output corresponding to the wave-function amplitude.
This variational form is used in conjunction with specific stochastic learning approaches to approximate quantum states of interest.
Learning the Ground-State Wave Function
One common application of NQS is to find an approximate representation of the ground state wave function of a given Hamiltonian . The learning procedure in this case consists in finding the best neural-network weights that minimize the variational energy
Since, for a general artificial neural network, computing the expectation value is an exponentially costly operation in , stochastic techniques based, for example, on the Monte Carlo method are used to estimate , analogously to what is done in Variational Monte Carlo, see for example for a review. More specifically, a set of samples , with , is generated such that they are uniformly distributed according to the Born probability density . Then it can be shown that the sample mean of the so-called "local energy" is a statistical estimate of the quantum expectation value , i.e.
Similarly, it can be shown that the gradient of the energy with respect to the network weights is also approximated by a sample mean
where and can be efficiently computed, in deep networks through backpropagation.
The stochastic approximation of the gradients is then used to minimize the energy typically using a stochastic gradient descent approach. When the neural-network parameters are updated at each step of the learning procedure, a new set of samples is generated, in an iterative procedure similar to what done in unsupervised learning.
Connection with Tensor Networks
Neural-Network representations of quantum wave functions share some similarities with variational quantum states based on tensor networks. For example, connections with matrix product states have been established. These studies have shown that NQS support volume law scaling for the entropy of entanglement. In general, given a NQS with fully-connected weights, it corresponds, in the worse case, to a matrix product state of exponentially large bond dimension in .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC%20MICA | MICA was the codename of the operating system developed for the DEC PRISM architecture. MICA was designed by a team at Digital Equipment Corporation led by Dave Cutler. MICA's design was driven by Digital's need to provide a migration path to PRISM for Digital's VAX/VMS customers, as well as allowing PRISM systems to compete in the increasingly important Unix market. MICA attempted to address these requirements by implementing VMS and ULTRIX user interfaces on top of a common kernel that could support the system calls (or "system services" in VMS parlance), libraries and utilities needed for both environments.
MICA was cancelled in 1988 along with the PRISM architecture, before either project was complete. MICA is most notable for inspiring the design of Windows NT. When the PRISM architecture evolved into the DEC Alpha architecture, Digital opted to port OSF/1 and VMS to Alpha instead of reusing MICA.
Design goals
The original goal for MICA was that all applications would have full and interchangeable access to both the VMS and ULTRIX interfaces, and that a user could choose to log in to an ULTRIX or VMS environment, and run any MICA application from either environment. However, it proved to be impossible to provide both full ULTRIX and full VMS compatibility to the same application at the same time, and Digital scrapped this plan in favour of having a separate Unix operating system based on OSF/1 (this was variously referred to as PRISM ULTRIX or OZIX). As a result, MICA would have served as a portable implementation of a VMS-like operating system, with compatible implementations of DCL, RMS, Files-11, VAXclusters, and the VAX/VMS RTLs and system services. Proposals were made for reinstating Unix compatibility in MICA on a per-application basis so that a MICA application could be compiled and linked against the VMS interfaces, or the ULTRIX interfaces, but not both simultaneously.
Due to scheduling concerns, the first PRISM systems would have been delivered with restricted subsets of the full MICA operating system. This included systems such as Cheyenne and Glacier which were dedicated to running specific applications, and where direct interaction with the operating system by customers would be limited.
Programming
MICA was to be written almost entirely in a high-level programming language named PILLAR. PILLAR evolved from EPascal (the VAXELN-specific dialect of Pascal) via an interim language called the Systems Implementation Language (SIL). PILLAR would have been backported to VAX/VMS, allowing applications to be developed that could be compiled for both VAX/VMS and MICA. A common set of high-level runtime libraries named ARUS (Application Runtime Utility Services) would have further facilitated portability between MICA, OSF/1, VAX/VMS and ULTRIX. As part of the PRISM project, a common optimizing compiler backend named GEM was developed (this survived and became the compiler backend for the Alpha and Itanium ports of VMS, as well as Tr |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Sands%20of%20Egypt | The Sands of Egypt is a 1982 graphic adventure game written by James Garon, Ralph Burris, and Steve Bjork of Datasoft for the TRS-80 Color Computer. It was licensed to Tandy Corporation and was the first disk-only game for the Color Computer sold by RadioShack. Ports to the Atari 8-bit family in 1982 and Apple II in 1983 were published by Datasoft. Set in 1893, the game follows a British explorer and archaeologist who is lost in the desert. Text commands are entered in the lower half of the screen, while a sometimes animated image of the current location is displayed in the upper half.
Gameplay
The top half of the screen shows an image of the current location. The player interacts with the game by typing commands in the bottom half, as in an interactive fiction game. Commands are either in a "VERB NOUN" format or single words such as N for "move north". The number of moves made is tracked as the score and can be displayed via the SCORE command. The player needs to periodically drink water to stay alive.
Reception
Owen Linzmayer, reviewing the Color Computer original for Creative Computing, wrote "In comparison with other adventures, The Sands of Egypt does feel a bit shallow" and "the game relies strongly on perseverance and patience." In Electronic Games, Tracie Forman didn't mention the puzzles, but wrote "By far the most striking thing about The Sands of Egypt is its eye-pleasing animation" and called it "an exceptional gaming experience."
In a walkthrough of part of the game for TRS-80 Microcomputer News, Bruce Elliott discussed the HELP command:

Co-produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and WildBrain Studios, the series premiered on January 26, 2021. A second season was released on December 7, 2021. A third season was released on September 19, 2022. A fourth season will be released on November 27, 2023.
Premise
The series revolves around the lifestyle of two young canines, Tag Barker and Scooch Pooch, in their canine town of Pawston.
Characters
Main
Tag Barker (voiced by Michela Luci in the US dub and Maisie Marsh in the UK dub) is a 6-year-old orange dog resembling a Beagador. Tag is the only dog to appear in all episodes and segments, and is very energetic and open. She is skilled at making inventions.
Scooch Pooch (voiced by Callum Shoniker in the US dub and Toby Fullman in the UK dub) is a 6-year-old small blue dog resembling a Terrier. Scooch is a new neighbor in the town of Pawston (as he has moved in from a farm), and he is more shy and reserved compared to Tag. He's Tag's best friend and neighbor.
Maw Barker (voiced by Katie Griffin in the US dub and Petra Letang in the UK dub) is a lavender dog resembling a Beagador. She is one of the Pawston blimp pilots, and is the mother of Tag, Cheddar Biscuit, Gilber, Spike and Yip Barker.
Paw Barker (voiced by Martin Roach in the US dub and Jude Owusu in the UK dub) is a brown dog resembling a Beagador. He owns and runs the Ding Dong Doorbell store, and is the father of Tag, Cheddar Biscuit, Gilber, Spike and Yip Barker.
Cheddar Biscuit (voiced by Tajja Isen in the US dub and Hannah Hutch in the UK dub) is a white polka-dotted dog resembling a Beagador. She is a clown and loves performing for people, and is the sister of Tag, Gilber, Spike and Yip Barker. She's very supportive of Tag but often gets competitive with her. Gilber often performs with her on her acts.
Spike Barker (voiced by Lyon Smith) is a red dog resembling a Beagador. Spike left the Race Cadets to join the Space Cadets, and is the brother of Tag, Cheddar Biscuit, Gilber and Yip Barker. He's very athletic and likes sports.
Gilber Barker (voiced by Lyon Smith in the US dub and James Cartmell in the UK dub) is a yellow dog resembling a Beagador, and is the schemer of the Barkers, and Tag's frenemy. He is the brother of Tag, Cheddar Biscuit, Spike and Yip Barker. He often works alongside Cheddar Biscuit whenever she's performing or competing against Tag.
Grandma Marge Barker (voiced by Judy Marshank in the US dub and Victoria Strachan in the UK dub) is a purple dog resembling a Beagador. She is the Barker family matriarch, and is the grandmother of Tag, Cheddar Biscuit, Gilber, Spike and Yip Barker. Both Marge and Mort run a repair shop in Pawston.
Grandpaw Mort Barker (voiced by Patrick McKenna in the US dub and Laurie Jamieson in the UK dub) is a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%20Puzzler | People Puzzler is an American television game show hosted by Leah Remini and broadcast by Game Show Network. It premiered on January 18, 2021. The show is inspired by the celebrity and pop-culture themed crosswords in People magazine.
Production and broadcast
On June 2, 2021, Game Show Network renewed the show for a second season, which premiered on September 27, 2021. On July 18, 2022, Game Show Network renewed the show for a third season, which premiered on August 1, 2022.
Gameplay
The game is played among three contestants. On a player's turn, they choose one of 10 words on the board, identifying it in the same way as a regular crossword puzzle (i.e., 1-across, etc.). The contestant is shown the first unrevealed letter in the word, and a clue is given. Correct answers score points based on the length of the word (similar to both The Cross-Wits and the 1980 NBC version of Chain Reaction); a contestant who correctly solves three words in a single turn is awarded bonus points. The contestant keeps control until they either make a mistake or score a bonus. If the contestant does make a mistake, the correct answer is not revealed, allowing the next contestant in line an opportunity to choose it again to obtain further letters and making it easier to solve (although they may choose another word). The last remaining letter in a word is never given.
Some puzzles have a "Double Word", a clue that covers two words in the puzzle, forming a two-word phrase. Both halves of a Double Word must be solved together, and correctly solving a Double Word earns the combined value of both words.
Round 1
A contestant chosen by a random draw before the show selects one of four categories, and takes the first turn. In all cases, play passes to the right (as viewed on camera), going back to the left-most position if needed. Correctly solving a word scores 10 points per letter, the bonus for three straight correct answers is 100 points. The round lasts until the puzzle is completed or until a buzzer sounds.
Round 2
The contestant in last place after round one, or in case of a tie, the leftmost player tied, chooses one of the remaining three categories and takes the first turn. Words are worth 20 points per letter, with a 200-point bonus for three in a row. One word is designated a "Wager Word." The first contestant to find the Wager Word is given the chance to bet any or all of their score on their ability to solve that word. A correct answer earns the amount of the wager (the 200-point bonus is also awarded if it is the contestant's third word in a row), while a wrong answer deducts the amount. If the Wager Word is not solved correctly, subsequent attempts at that word are for its natural value. In addition, if the first contestant to find the Wager Word has no points at the time, the word is also played for its natural value.
Tiebreaker
When the round ends, the contestant in third place is eliminated from further play. All losing contestants are awarded a one-yea |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20N | The N (standing for Noggin) was a prime time and late night programming block on the Noggin television channel, aimed at preteens and teenagers. It was launched on April 1, 2002, by MTV Networks and Sesame Workshop. Before the block's introduction, Noggin's daytime lineup included tween shows like A Walk in Your Shoes, Sponk!, and Big Kids. In 2002, Noggin restructured its daytime lineup to cater to preschool children. From then onward, the shows targeted to older children only aired during the night as part of The N.
The N focused on shows that promoted personal development, and the block was described as "an educational twin" of Nickelodeon's teen blocks. The N's original shows were created with educational goals, which was uncommon for teen programming at the time. The block was managed by the same team that made Noggin's preschool shows; the team considered it a challenge to focus on both preschoolers and an older audience at the same time, but they felt that Noggin and The N had a consistent, unified brand identity because both were educational. To create shows for The N, Noggin created research groups to determine their shows' topics. They decided to create shows that educated older children for their futures through cautionary tales, life lessons, and realistic depictions of growing up.
In August 2002, Sesame Workshop sold its stake in Noggin, but it continued to produce shows for Noggin and The N, including Out There. The N launched a variety of spin-off media, such as live events and a soundtrack album. From 2007 to 2009, the block was moved from Noggin to a new channel, which carried TEENick programming throughout the day and relegated The N's content to a block at night. In 2009, TEENick and The N were merged to form TeenNick. The TeenNick channel was based on TEENick's branding and shows, and it stopped repeating The N's series in 2015. According to Polygon, "Nickelodeon began phasing out The N's programming and replacing it with TEENick, an entertainment block with no educational curriculum and zero involvement from Noggin. The N lost its footing by 2009, and both [The N] and its website closed down completely."
History
Origins
The Noggin channel launched on February 2, 1999. When Noggin started, many of its shows were aimed at tweens. One of the channel's goals was to "dispel the conventional wisdom that educational programming is not entertaining enough to attract pre-teens and young adults." The channel aired three blocks: a main block of tween shows throughout the day, a block for preschoolers in the early morning, and a block of "adult retro" series at night. The nighttime block received low ratings. Noggin's most notable effort to increase its nighttime viewership was a primetime block called The Hubbub, which allowed viewers to send comments through Noggin's website and see them on TV. Ratings never improved, and The New York Times called Noggin's nighttime promotions "several failed efforts at nocturnal programming." This |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoPunks | CryptoPunks is a non-fungible token (NFT) collection on the Ethereum blockchain. The project was launched in June 2017 by the Larva Labs studio, a two-person team consisting of Canadian software developers Matt Hall and John Watkinson. The experimental project was inspired by the London punk scenes, the cyberpunk movement, and electronic music artists Daft Punk. The crypto art blockchain project was an inspiration for the ERC-721 standard for NFTs and the modern crypto art movement, which has since become a part of the cryptocurrency and decentralized finance ecosystems on multiple blockchains.
CryptoPunks are commonly credited with starting the NFT craze of 2021, along with other early projects including CryptoKitties, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and the sale of Beeple's Everydays: The First 5000 Days. There are 10,000 CryptoPunk tokens total. On March 2, 2022, an anonymous user donated CryptoPunk #5364 to Ukraine's government Ethereum wallet public address to help fund the Ukrainian government against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On March 11, 2022 it was announced that all of the CryptoPunks IP was acquired by Yuga Labs (parent company and creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club project) for an undisclosed sum. Immediately, Yuga Labs announced they were giving full commercial rights to CryptoPunks owners. On 7th May 2022 the transfer was completed, and the whole CryptoPunks marketplace was moved to the new Yuga Labs owned website.
Concept
There are 10,000 unique CryptoPunks (6,039 male and 3,840 female). Each one was algorithmically generated through computer code and thus no two characters are exactly alike, with some traits being rarer than others. They were originally released for free and could be claimed by anyone with an Ethereum wallet by paying only "gas fees", which were low at the time..
Most of the 10,000 CryptoPunks represent humans, but there are also three special types: Zombie (88), Ape (24), and Alien (9).
Controversies
Flash loan
In October 2021, a single NFT transaction was made for 124,457 Ether (US$532 million at the time of the sale) regarding CryptoPunk #9998, much higher than all previous NFT sales, leading to speculation on social media that this could have been some kind of scam, a security exploit or money laundering. Larva Labs said that the purchase was made with a flash loan where the NFT's owner bought the item from themselves with borrowed money, taking out and repaying the loan within a single blockchain transaction, subsequently invalidating the sale from the asset's historic and from all the related statistics.
Sotheby's 104 CryptoPunks auction
In early 2022, a Sotheby's auction for a single lot of 104 CryptoPunks was announced. The auction took place on 23 February 2022, but its seller (0x650d) changed their mind 23 minutes after the auction began and decided to withdraw the auction to keep the whole lot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20entropy | In network science, the network entropy is a disorder measure derived from information theory to describe the level of randomness and the amount of information encoded in a graph. It is a relevant metric to quantitatively characterize real complex networks and can also be used to quantify network complexity
Formulations
According to a publication from Entropy, a journal published by MDPI, there are several formulations in which to measure the network entropy and, as a rule, they all require a particular property of the graph to be focused, such as the adjacency matrix, degree sequence, degree distribution or number of bifurcations, what might lead to values of entropy that aren't invariant to the chosen network description.
Degree Distribution Shannon Entropy
The Shannon entropy can be measured for the network degree probability distribution as an average measurement of the
heterogeneity of the network.
This formulation has limited use with regards to complexity, information content, causation and temporal information. Be that as it may, algorithmic complexity has the ability to characterize any general or universal property of a graph or network and it is proven that graphs with low entropy have low algorithmic complexity because the statistical regularities found in a graph are useful for computer programs to recreate it. The same cannot be said for high entropy networks though, as these might have any value for algorithmic complexity.
Random Walker Shannon Entropy
Due to the limits of the previous formulation, it is possible to take a different approach while keeping the usage of the original Shannon Entropy equation.
Consider a random walker that travels around the graph, going from a node to any node adjacent to with equal probability. The probability distribution that describes the behavior of this random walker would thus be
,
where is the graph adjacency matrix and is the node degree.
From that, the Shannon entropy from each node can be defined as
and, since , the normalized node entropy is calculated
This leads to a normalized network entropy , calculated by averaging the normalized node entropy over the whole network
The normalized network entropy is maximal when the network is fully connected and decreases the sparser the network becomes . Notice that isolated nodes do not have its probability defined and, therefore, are not considered when measuring the network entropy. This formulation of network entropy has low sensitivity to hubs due to the logarithmic factor and is more meaningful for weighted networks., what ultimately makes it hard to differentiate scale-free networks using this measure alone.
Random Walker Kolmogorov–Sinai Entropy
The limitations of the random walker Shannon entropy can be overcome by adapting it to use a Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy. In this context, network entropy is the entropy of a stochastic matrix associated with the graph adjacency matrix and the random walker Shannon entrop |

History
Cradlepoint was founded in 2006 in Boise, Idaho, by Pat Sewall, who later brought on co-founders Ryan Adamson and Gary Oliviero. Its first products were 3G and 4G cellular routers that created Wi-Fi hotspots for mobile internet. One of its early customers was aerospace defense organization NORAD, which used a Cradlepoint cellular router to connect 1,500 volunteers with roughly 140,000 calls per year coming from children trying to speak with Santa Claus.
In December 2015, Cradlepoint acquired Los Gatos, CA-based networking company Pertino.
In August 2016, the company announced the Cradlepoint NetCloud platform, a software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) architecture for businesses to manage their wired and wireless networks.
In March 2017, the company received $89 million in funding from new investor Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV).
In January 2018, the company launched its NetCloud Solution subscription model, bundling its hardware and software into annual or multi-year subscriptions.
In January 2020, the company introduced additional analytics capabilities to its NetCloud management platform, to help businesses manage their wireless network charges. In May, the company introduced its E3000 5G compatible edge router. In September, the company announced it was being acquired by Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson, but would continue to operate as Cradlepoint. The purchase closed in November 2020, with the company continuing as a standalone subsidiary within Ericsson’s Business Area Technologies and New Businesses segment.
Products
Cradlepoint develops routers, gateways and software for wireless WAN edge networking, using 4G and 5G wireless signals to connect businesses and other mobile users such as remote front-line emergency workers. The company uses a subscription model that combines its cloud-delivered software as SaaS, with hardware, support and training.
The company's E3000 5G-compatible edge router allows satellite offices or small businesses to use a gigabit LTE cellular signal to create a Wi-Fi network using the latest IEEE 802.11ax standard, commonly known as Wi-Fi 6. Modular 5G modems can be customized for compatibility with individual carriers' 5G networks.
The company's NetCloud platform manages the company's 4G LTE-enabled routers and M2M/IoT gateways. The platform also combines cloud, software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies, known as Network as a service.
As of November 2020, the company said it was certifying its equipment with carriers to ensure that its 5G equipment was compatible with the different versions of the technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Away%20%282019%20film%29 | Away is a 2019 animated silent film, written and animated by Gints Zilbalodis, a Latvian film-maker, who also wrote and recorded the score for the film. It is a computer-animated film, using the programme Maya. The film follows a boy who parachutes onto land, where he finds a motorbike and an injured bird. With these, he sets off to reach an initially unknown goal, pursued by a shadowy giant monster, which drains life from every living being that crosses its path. The film is divided into different chapters, each individually named.
It was presented at the 2019 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, winning the Contrechamp Award. It was also presented at the Tokyo Film Festival, and the London International Animation Festival.
Reception
Variety praised the visual and soundtrack aspects of the movie but highlighted weaknesses in the story-telling. Some reviewers talked about the surreal nature of the work and the minimalist soundtrack. Several reviewers focussed on the effort required for a single person to create an entire animated film, and the opportunities modern animation software offers to independent film-makers.
Awards
The film was nominated for the Annie Award for Music in a Feature Production at the 47th Annie Awards. Away won Best Animated Film at the 2019 Lielais Kristaps, the largest Latvian film awards. The Lielais Kristaps award jury (which included Lolita Ritmanis, , Larisa Gūtmane, , Zane Balčus and ) also remarked upon the achievement of one person making an entire film, stating "When awarding the prize, the jury wants to emphasize the film's unique visual and audio fantasy world, which the author has convincingly created alone."
