https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara%20Engelhardt | Barbara Elizabeth Engelhardt is an American computer scientist and specialist in bioinformatics. Working as a Professor at Stanford University, her work has focused on latent variable models, exploratory data analysis for genomic data, and QTLs. In 2021, she was awarded the Overton Prize by the International Society for Computational Biology.
Education
Engelhardt received a Bachelor of Science in Symbolic Systems and a Master of Science in Computer Science from Stanford University. She received a PhD in 2008 from the University of California, Berkeley supervised by Michael I. Jordan.
Career and research
Engelhardt worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago in the Department of Human Genetics with Matthew Stephens from 2008 to 2011. She joined Duke University in 2011 as an assistant professor in the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Department. She joined Princeton University as an assistant professor in 2014 and received a promotion to Associate Professor with tenure in 2017. In August 2022, she moved to California, she now holds the position of Professor at Stanford University and Gladstone Institute of Data Science and Biotechnology.
After graduating from Stanford, Engelhardt worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Artificial Intelligence group for two years, working on planning and scheduling for autonomous spacecraft. As a graduate student at Berkeley, she developed statistical models for protein function annotation and statistical frameworks for reasoning about ontologies. During her postdoctoral research, she developed sparse factor analysis models for population structure and Bayesian models for association testing.
In her faculty position, the bulk of Engelhardt's research focused on developing latent variable models and exploratory data analysis for genomic data, and also on statistical models for association testing in expression QTLs. As a member of the Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) Consortium, her group was responsible for the trans-eQTL discovery and analysis in the GTEx v6 and v8 data.
Post tenure, Engelhardt's research in these latent variable models has expanded to include single cell sequencing, with a particular focus on spatial transcriptomics. She also has work on Bayesian experimental design using contextual multi-armed bandits, and has adapted this work to the novel species problem in order to inform single cell data collection for atlas building. Her work has also expanded into machine learning for electronic healthcare records.
Engelhardt's work has been featured in Quanta Magazine. In 2017, she gave a TEDx talk entitled: 'Not What but Why: Machine Learning for Understanding Genomics.'
Honors and awards
Engelhardt's research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health through two R01 grants and a number of other mechanisms. Engelhardt has been recognized by several awards including an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in Computational Biology, a National Science Foundation CARE |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxConsole | LinuxConsole is a Linux-based operating system independently developed by Yann Le Doaré. The distro is built from scratch by developers from France, and has support for multiple languages. It is not based on any other Linux distribution and primarily focuses on being lightweight and easily accessible. LinuxConsole can function as a live CD or live USB. It can also be installed as a complete operating system. LinuxConsole should be written as one word. The "console" part of the word isn't related to Linux system console mode, but instead represents the ease of using a game console.
History
The earliest known verifiable release is documented as version 0.4 in 2004 on DistroWatch, and was based on Mandrake Linux. Version 0.4 expanded upon the previous release by adding many applications, and tools making it useful for more than just games and multimedia. The list of added software included programs used for working with documents, playing music as well as other server utilities, firewall security, and printer/scanner tools.
The first release confirmed to be independently developed was version 1.0.2007 released in 2007. It added full capability to work with partitions using the NTFS file structure via GParted. This release was thoroughly tested on several old computers using only 16MB of RAM.
Release 1.0.2009 came out in 2009 with four distinctive versions. The first was a 200MB ISO image made for older computers low on hard drive space, and came with a lightweight desktop and file manager. The next was a CD image with a mid-sized desktop that added more features and games. The DVD version was complete with all the features included. Lastly, there was something available called the "Jukebox", where users could custom build their own ISO and transfer the image to USB with support for UNetbootin. This release was available via BitTorrent.
The release of 1.0.2010 in 2010 had the goal of being easy to use as a game console. Module management was completely rewritten to load all modules at once without any cache. It switched from Dash to Bash, and initramfs to initrd, allowing for a very fast boot time of only 4 seconds when starting LXDE with a CD in VirtualBox. The default session was LXDE/PCManFM and IceWM/Rox Filer was an option. Wi-Fi connections could be configured with wicd.
The next major release was version 2.0 in 2013 with a fast boot, support for both new, and old video cards, Live CD and Live USB support, and the ability to dual-boot with Windows. The release came with some games including OpenTTD, Tux Paint, BZFlag, Neverball, Frozen Bubble, fooBillard, Freecraft, SuperTuxKart, and Teeworlds to name a few. This release included support for Deb packages as well. Although this release is deprecated, it can still be downloaded via the mirror link on the official website.
The release of version 2.3 in 2014 saw the advancement of the lightweight opkg package manager. It offered a gui to install and run stable source packages in different c |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theaitre | Theaitre (stylized as THEaiTRE) is an interdisciplinary research project investigating to what extent artificial intelligence is able to generate theatre play scripts. The first theatre play produced within the project, AI: When a Robot Writes a Play, premiered online on February 26, 2021.
Goal
Following similar previous projects such as Sunspring, a short sci-fi movie with an automatically generated script, the THEaiTRE project investigates whether current language generation approaches are mature enough to generate a theatre play script that could be successfully performed in front of an audience.
The project falls within the area of generative art, famously represented e.g. by the portrait of Edmond de Belamy which was generated by an artificial neural network. In this field, artists are trying to use automated techniques to create "art", questioning the modern definition of art itself.
More broadly, the project aims at promoting cooperation rather than competition of humans and artificial intelligence as the more beneficial approach for both.
The first theatre play created within the project, titled AI: When a Robot Writes a Play, was presented in February 2021 at the 100th anniversary of the premiere of the R.U.R. theatre play by the Czech author Karel Čapek to celebrate the invention of the word "robot". While R.U.R. was a play written by a human about robots (and humans), THEaiTRE tried to reverse this idea by presenting a play written by a "robot" (artificial intelligence) about humans (and robots). The script of the play was published online, with marked parts of the text which were written manually or manually post-edited. The analysis shows that 90% of the script is automatically generated, with 10% manually written or manually post-edited.
The project also plans to produce a second play in 2022, addressing some of the many shortcomings of the approach used to generate the first play, as well as attempting to further minimize the amount of human influence on the script.
Approach
At the core of the project is the GPT-2 language model by OpenAI with various adjustments motivated by the task of generating theatre play scripts, for which the model is not particularly trained.
The GPT-2 model is used in the usual way, providing it with a start of a document and prompting it to generate a continuation of the document. Specifically, the input for GPT-2 in this project is typically a short description of the scene setting, followed by a few lines to introduce the characters and start the dialogue. The model then generates 10 continuation lines, and hands control to the user, who can then either ask the model to continue generating, or make various edits before letting the model to generate further, deleting some parts of the script or adding new lines into the script.
The adjustments include restricting the generator to only produce lines pertaining to characters appearing in the input prompt, limiting the repetitiveness of the gener |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki%20Strong%202021 | Kawasaki Strong 2021 was a professional wrestling event promoted by CyberFight's DDT Pro-Wrestling (DDT). It took place on February 14, 2021, in Kawasaki, Japan, at the Culttz Kawasaki arena. The event aired live on Fighting TV Samurai and on DDT's streaming service Wrestle Universe.
Production
Background
Usually, DDT holds two major events each year, often in venues such as the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, the Nippon Budokan or the Ota City General Gymnasium. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and the rescheduled 2020 Summer Olympics, DDT had to consider new venues for their 2021 events and picked the Culttz Kawasaki arena located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
Storylines
The show featured eight professional wrestling matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On December 27, 2020, Jun Akiyama defeated Konosuke Takeshita in the final of the D-Oh Grand Prix 2021 tournament, earning himself first contendership to the KO-D Openweight Championship held by Tetsuya Endo. The match was then officially signed the next day at a press conference.
On November 3, 2020, at Ultimate Party 2020, Yuki Ueno became the 4th DDT Universal Champion by defeating Chris Brookes. After successfully defending it for the second time on January 9, 2021, he asked for his next challenger to be Yukio Sakaguchi, from whom he said he learned a lot in the past year. Sakaguchi accepted the match, then, in the backstage interview that followed, snuck up behind Ueno and applied a sleeper hold to choke him out.
On December 21, 2020, the KO-D 10-Man Tag Team Championship was vacated and renamed "KO-D 8-Man Tag Team Championship" due to the difficulty of scheduling a proper title defense during the pandemic. A title match was immediately announced for the Kawasaki Strong 2021 event in which a team led by Sanshiro Takagi would face a team led by Shinya Aoki. The remaining participants were later announced one after another. Takagi and Aoki had previously been fighting over the DDT Extreme Division Championship with Takagi finally winning the title and ending Aoki's 237 days reign (the third longest in the title history) at Ultimate Party 2020.
On January 3, 2021, at the New Year's Day special show, Yuki Iino, a member of the All Out stable who was scheduled to return from an injury at the Kawasaki event, angrily confronted Yuji Hino who had returned to DDT on December 23 and aligned himself with the rival Damnation stable. A singles match between the two was scheduled for the February 23 event and Iino return match would be an eight-man tag team match pitting All Out against Damnation.
Event
Preliminary matches
The event opened with the two youngest members of the Junretsu stable Mizuki Watase and Hideki Okatani facing Yusuke Okada and Toui Kojima. In the end, Watase submitted Kojima with a Boston crab.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature%20Index | The Nature Index is a database that tracks institutions and countries and their scientific output since its introduction in November, 2014. Each year, Nature Index ranks the leading institutions (which can be companies, universities, government agencies, research institutes, or NGOs) and countries by the number of scientific articles and papers published in leading journals. This ranking can also be categorized by individual fields of research such as life sciences, chemistry, physics, or earth sciences, with different institutions leading in each. The Nature Index was conceived by Nature Research. In total, more than 10,000 institutions are listed in the Nature Index.
In June 2023, the Nature Index added 64 health-science journals.
Methodology
The Nature Index attempts to objectively measure the scientific output of institutions and countries, taking into account differences in quality. Therefore, only articles published in 82 selected high-quality journals are counted. These journals are selected by an independent committee. If authors from several institutions and/or countries are involved in a scientific article, it is divided accordingly, assuming that all researchers were equally involved in the article. For example, this “fractional count” (FC) received by each author would be 0.1 for an article with 10 authors. If an author is affiliated with more than one institution, that author’s FC is then subdivided equally across their affiliated institutions. The process is similar for countries and regions, though the fact that some institutions have overseas labs makes the process more complicated, with such labs being counted towards their appropriate host countries.
Top institutions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20games%20included%20with%20Windows | Video games have been included in versions of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting from Windows 1.0x, all published by Microsoft. Some games that have appeared in Microsoft Entertainment Pack and Microsoft Plus! have been included in subsequent versions of Windows as well. Microsoft Solitaire has been included in every version of Windows since Windows 3.0, except Windows 8 and 8.1. The latest version of Windows, Windows 11, includes Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Surf.
History
Microsoft planned to include games when developing Windows 1.0 in 1983–1984. Pre-release versions of Windows 1.0 initially included another game, Puzzle, but it was scrapped in favor of Reversi, based on the board game of the same name. Reversi was included in Windows versions up to Windows 3.1. Solitaire was developed in 1988 by the intern Wes Cherry. The card deck itself was designed by Susan Kare, who was known for her work on icon designs for the original Macintosh.
Microsoft intended Solitaire to "soothe people intimidated by the operating system," and at a time where many users were still unfamiliar with graphical user interfaces, it proved useful in familiarizing them with the use of a mouse, such as the drag-and-drop technique required for moving cards. According to Microsoft telemetry, Solitaire was among the three most-used Windows programs and FreeCell was seventh, ahead of productivity-based applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel. Lost business productivity by employees playing Solitaire became a common concern since being a default inclusion in Windows.
The Microsoft Hearts Network was included with Windows for Workgroups 3.1, as a showcase of NetDDE technology by enabling multiple players to play simultaneously across a computer network. The Microsoft Hearts Network would later be renamed Internet Hearts, and included in Windows Me and XP, alongside other online multiplayer-based titles. 3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet is a version of the "Space Cadet" pinball table from the 1995 video game Full Tilt! Pinball.
In Minesweeper for Windows Vista and 7, the game comes with an alternate "Flower Garden" style, alongside the default "Minesweeper" style. This is due to controversy over the original land mine theme of the game being potentially insensitive, and the "Flower Garden" style was used as the default theme in "sensitive areas".
Support for Internet games for Windows Me and XP ended on July 31, 2019, and for Windows 7 on January 22, 2020.
Several third party games, such as Candy Crush Saga and Disney Magic Kingdoms, have been included as advertisements on the Start menu in Windows 10, and may also be automatically installed by the operating system. Windows 11 includes the Xbox app, which allows users to access the PC Game Pass video game subscription service. Additionally, versions of the Microsoft Edge browser from 2020 onwards (bundled with Windows 10 and 11) include the Surf game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20public%20goods | Digital public goods are public goods in the form of software, data sets, AI models, standards or content that are generally free cultural works and contribute to sustainable national and international digital development.
Use of the term "digital public good" appears as early as April 2017, when Nicholas Gruen wrote Building the Public Goods of the Twenty-First Century, and has gained popularity with the growing recognition of the potential for new technologies to be implemented at a national scale to better service delivery to citizens. Digital technologies have also been identified by countries, NGOs and private sector entities as a means to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This translation of public goods onto digital platforms has resulted in the use of the term "digital public goods".
Several international agencies, including UNICEF and UNDP, are exploring DPGs as a possible solution to address the issue of digital inclusion, particularly for children in emerging economies.
Definition
A digital public good is defined by the UN Secretary-General’s Roadmap for Digital Cooperation, as: "open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm, and help attain the SDGs."
Most physical resources exist in limited supply. When a resource is removed and used, the supply becomes scarce or depleted. Scarcity can result in competing rivalry for the resource. The nondepletable, nonexclusive, and nonrivalrous nature of digital public goods means the rules and norms for managing them can be different from how physical public goods are managed. Digital public goods can be infinitely stored, copied, and distributed without becoming depleted, and at close to zero cost. Abundance rather than scarcity is an inherent characteristic of digital resources in the digital commons.
Digital public goods share some traits with public goods including non-rivalry and non-excludability.
Usage
This Wikimania submission from 2019 shows how the definition of a public good evolves into a digital public good:A public good is a good that is both non-excludable (no one can be prevented from consuming this good) and non-rivalrous (the consumption of this good by anyone does not reduce the quantity available to others). Extending this definition to global public goods, they become goods with benefits that extend to all countries, people, and generations and are available across national borders everywhere. Knowledge and information goods embody global public goods when provided for free (otherwise the trait of non-excludability could not be met on the basis of excluding those who cannot pay for those goods). The online world provides a great medium for the provision of global public goods, where they become global digital public goods. Once produced in their digital form, global public goods are essentially costless to replicate and make available to al |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insecure%20direct%20object%20reference | Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) is a type of access control vulnerability in digital security.
This can occur when a web application or application programming interface uses an identifier for direct access to an object in an internal database but does not check for access control or authentication. For example, if the request URL sent to a web site directly uses an easily enumerated unique identifier (such as http://foo.com/doc/1234), that can provide an exploit for unintended access to all records.
A directory traversal attack is considered a special case of a IDOR.
The vulnerability is of such significant concern that for many years it was listed as one of the Open Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Examples
In November 2020, the firm Silent Breach identified an IDOR vulnerability with the United States Department of Defense web site and privately reported it via the DOD's Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The bug was fixed by adding a user session mechanism to the account system, which would require authenticating on the site first.
It was reported that the Parler social networking service used sequential post IDs, and that this had enabled the scraping of terabytes of data from the service in January 2021. The researcher responsible for the project has said this was inaccurate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austronesian%20Basic%20Vocabulary%20Database | The Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database or ABVD is a large database of basic vocabulary lists that mainly covers the Austronesian languages. It also has a comprehensive inventory of basic vocabulary lists for Kra–Dai languages, Hmong–Mien languages, Japonic languages, and other languages of East Asia. It is currently the largest lexical database of Austronesian languages in terms of the number of languages covered.
History
The database was created by Simon J. Greenhill as part of a graduate research project that he was working on with Russell Gray. Each vocabulary list in the database has 210 basic words. The list was originally from a set of printed 200-item word lists developed by Robert Blust as a lexicostatistical aid for classifying the Austronesian languages. 10 more numerals were added after the original 200th item, 'four', giving the word list its present 210-item inventory.
In 2008, a computational analysis of the lexical database showed that the Austronesian languages had originated from Taiwan, rather than from Indonesia or other regions of Oceania.
The database was originally hosted by the University of Auckland, and is currently hosted by the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History. It operates under the CC BY 4.0 license.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials%20Project | The Materials Project is an open-access database offering material properties to accelerate the development of technology by predicting how new materials–both real and hypothetical–can be used. The project was established in 2011 with an emphasis on battery research, but includes property calculations for many areas of clean energy systems such as photovoltaics, thermoelectric materials, and catalysts. Most of the known 35,000 molecules and over 130,000 inorganic compounds are included in the database.
Dr. Kristin Persson of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory founded and leads the initiative, which uses supercomputers at Berkeley, among other institutions, to run calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Commonly computed values include enthalpy of formation, crystal structure, and band gap. The assembled databases of computed structures and properties is freely available to anyone under a CC 4.0 license and was developed with ease of use in mind. The data have been used to predict new materials that should be synthesizable, and screen existing materials for useful properties.
The project can be traced back to Persson's postdoc research at MIT in 2004, during which she was given access to a supercomputer to do DFT calculations. After joining Berkeley Lab in 2008, Persson received the necessary funding to make the data from her research freely available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial%20embedding | Spatial embedding is one of feature learning techniques used in spatial analysis where points, lines, polygons or other spatial data types. representing geographic locations are mapped to vectors of real numbers. Conceptually it involves a mathematical embedding from a space with many dimensions per geographic object to a continuous vector space with a much lower dimension.
Such embedding methods allow complex spatial data to be used in neural networks and have been shown to improve performance in spatial analysis tasks
Embedded data types
Geographic data can take many forms: text, images, graphs, trajectories, polygons. Depending on the task, there may be a need to combine multimodal data from different sources. The next section describes examples of different types of data and their uses.
Text
Geolocated posts on social media can be used to acquire a library of documents bound to a given place that can be later transformed to embedded vectors using word embedding techniques.
Image
Satellites and aircraft collect digital spatial data acquired from remotely sensed images which can be used in machine learning. They are sometimes hard to analyse using basic image analysis methods and convolutional neural networks can be used to acquire an embedding of images bound to a given geographical object or a region.
Point
A single point of interest (POI) can be assigned multiple features that can be used in machine learning. These could be demographic, transportation, meteorological, or economic data, for example. When embedding single points, it is common to consider the entire set of available points as nodes in a graph.
Line / multiline
Among other things, motion trajectories are represented as lines (multilines). Individual trajectories are embedded taking into account travel time, distances and also features of points visited along the way. Embedding of trajectories allows to improve performance of such tasks as clustering and also categorization.
Polygon
The geographic areas analyzed in machine learning are defined by both administrative boundaries and top-down division into grids of regular shapes such as rectangles, for example. Both types are represented as polygons and, like points, can be assigned different demographic, transportation, or economic features. A polygon can also have features related to the size of the area or shape it represents.
Graph
An example domain where graph representation is used is the street layout in a city, where vertices can be intersections and edges can be roads. The vertices can also be destination points like public transport stops or important points in the city, and the edges represent the flow between them. Embedding graphs or single vertices allows to improve accuracy of analysis methods in which the treated geographical domain can be represented as a network.
Usage
POI recommendation - generating personalized point of interest recommendations based on user preferences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual%20influencer | A virtual influencer, at times described as a virtual persona or virtual model, is a computer-generated fictional character that can be used for a variety of marketing-related purposes, but most frequently for social media marketing, in lieu of human "influencers". Most virtual influencers are designed using computer graphics and motion capture technology to resemble real people in realistic situations. Common derivatives of virtual influencers include VTubers, which broadly refer to online entertainers and YouTubers who represent themselves using virtual avatars instead of their physical selves.
History
Virtual influencers are fundamentally synonymous with virtual idols, which originate from Japan's anime and Japanese idol culture that dates back to the 1980s. The first virtual idol created was Lynn Minmay, a fictional singer and main character of the anime television series Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982) and the animated film adaptation Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984). Minmay's success led to the production of more Japanese virtual idols, such as EVE from the Japanese cyberpunk anime Megazone 23 (1985), and Sharon Apple in Macross Plus (1994). Virtual idols were not always well received – in 1995, Japanese talent agency Horipro created Kyoko Date, which was inspired by the Macross franchise and dating sim games such as Tokimeki Memorial (1994). Date failed to gain commercial success despite drawing headlines for her debut as a CGI idol, largely due to technical limitations leading to issues such as unnatural movements, an issue also known as the uncanny valley.
Since their inception, many virtual idols created have achieved continual success, with notable names including the Vocaloid singer Hatsune Miku, and the virtual YouTuber Kizuna AI. Technological advancements have also enabled production teams to use artificial intelligence and advanced techniques to customize the personalities and behavior of virtual idols.
Benefits
From a branding perspective, virtual influencers are much less likely to be mired in scandals. In China, celebrities caught in bad publicity such as singer Wang Leehom and entertainer Kris Wu have heightened the appeal of virtual influencers, since their existence relies entirely on computer-generated imagery, and hence are unlikely to cause any damage to a brand's image by association. Some studies have also suggested that Generation Z consumers have a unique appetite for virtual idols and influencers, since they grew up in the age of the internet. Studies also show that human-like appearance of virtual influencers show higher message credibility than anime-like virtual influencers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toloka | Toloka is a crowdsourcing platform and microtasking project launched by Yandex in 2014 to quickly markup large amounts of data, which are then used for machine learning and improving search algorithms. The proposed tasks are usually simple and do not require any special training from the performer. Most of the tasks are designed to improve algorithms that are used by modern technologies spanning self-driving vehicles, smart web searches, advanced voice assistants and e-commerce. Upon completion of each task the performer receives a reward based on the volume of images, videos, and unstructured text. The service has two app versions – for Android and iOS.
About Toloka
Origin of the platform's name
A toloka used to be a form of mutual assistance among villagers of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It was organized in villages to perform urgent work requiring a large number of workers, such as harvesting, logging, building houses, etc. Sometimes a toloka was used for community works (building churches, schools, roads, etc.).
Types of tasks and scope of results
Data labeling helps to improve search quality and effectively tune result ranking algorithms of search engine.
Machine learning
To train machine learning algorithm requires labeling of large volumes with positive and negative examples of data. Toloka performers receive tasks to determine the presence or absence of objects defined by a computer in a content item. In tasks of another type, a context of the dialogue is given and a scale is proposed by which it is necessary to assess whether a chatbot's answer in this context is appropriate, interesting, and so on. Another group of tasks in Toloka is translation verification performed by collecting examples of translations from different performers.
Audit and marketing research
Checking the quality of the online store, delivery service, writing reviews about products and services. Such audits allow to control the quality of the service and identify weaknesses, over which work will be carried out in the future to improve and eliminate the identified problems.
Payment and money withdrawal
Completion of tasks in Toloka are paid. It is possible to withdraw funds using several payment systems: PayPal, Payoneer, Qiwi (only for tolokers from some CIS countries), Papara (only for tolokers from Turkey). Also, money can be withdrawn to the YooMoney and SBP for self-employed users. Money withdrawals usually take anywhere from several hours to several days, but it could sometimes take even longer. The maximum transfer time is 30 days.
Users
Toloka users, also known as performers or tolokers, are people who earn money by completing system testing and improvement tasks on the Toloka crowdsourcing platform. In 2018, more than a million people participated in Toloka projects. Most performers are young people under 35 (usually engineering students or mothers on maternity leave). Performers mainly see Toloka as an additional sou |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudio%20Palma | Claudio Rodrigo Palma Barrueto (born 1 June 1969) is a Chilean play-by-play commentator.
He has related the most important Chilean football matches for various television and radio networks, including Canal del Fútbol (CDF; 2003–2014/2018–present), Canal 13 (2011–2018), Fox Sports Chile (2014-2018), ADN Radio Chile (2008–2010/2020) and Chilevisión (2018–present). In 2010, he worked as play-by-play commentator for DirecTV Sports during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa alongside former footballer Sebastián Rozental, who accompanied him as color commentator.
Palma is considered one of the best play-by-play commentators in Chilean sports history and he has the particularity of being known thanks to Pro Evolution Soccer 6 patches: piracy's version which simulated Primera División de Chile footballers and matches instead of other European leagues.
Biography
Beginnings: 1989–2003
He began his career in late 1980s on Radio AM Yungay in a program directed by Santiago Chavarría that broadcast amateur football. Later, he moved to Radio Santiago and then to Radio Portales. In this last station, he met Eduardo Bonvallet, who, upon taking over as «Más Deporte» director on Radio Nacional de Chile, decided to take him to that station.
In 1996, he made his debut on television in La Red, private channel where he narrated matches of the Chile national football team team road to 1998 FIFA World Cup. In these broadcastings he was accompanied by Bonvallet.
After narrating on La Red, he joined Sky Sports (which in that time it had broadcasting rights of Chilean soccer) and was the second commentator of "La Clave del Deporte" in Radio La Clave behind Carlos Alberto Campusano.
Rising in CDF: 2003–2014
In 2003, Palma arrived as commentator during Canal del Fútbol (CDF) foundation. In that channel, he gradually began to consecrate after narrating the most part of games of Chile's three popular teams: Colo-Colo, Universidad de Chile and Universidad Católica.
In 2006, he was hired by Megavisión to narrate 2006 FIFA World Cup matches.
Return to CDF: 2018–2021
On August 13, 2018, he left Canal 13 and it was announced —through a letter of Chilevisión— his arrival to sports area of the aforementioned channel with the goal to narrate Chilean football team matches (official and exhibition games) in tournaments like 2019 Copa América or, hypothetically, the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
In 2019, he came back to CDF after five years of his first departure. That return it was possible due to the purchase of CDF by WarnerMedia, controller firm of Chilevisión. In 2020, he also returned to ADN Deportes to narrate Chilean clubs matches in 2020 Copa Libertadores.
TNT Sports: 2021–present
In January 2021, CDF announced its end through its change of name to TNT Sports.

Service
Janssen directed the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences from 2011 to 2016, and chairs its board of directors. She was elected as chair of the Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics (SIAG-DM) of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for the 2021–2022 term.
Research
In a 1993 paper, Janssen solved the unbalanced case of the Dinitz conjecture, showing that any partial Latin rectangle could be extended to a full rectangle. The problem is equivalent to list edge-coloring of complete bipartite graphs, and her solution was based on earlier work on list coloring by Noga Alon and Michael Tarsi. Janssen's work "surprised even many of the experts", and was considered to be "great progress" on the Dinitz conjecture. The remaining case of the conjecture for squares (balanced complete bipartite graphs) was proven a year later by Fred Galvin.

Premise
Kai, Lola, Rammy, and Bobbi are anthropomorphic four deer friends who reside in a boat-shaped home in the forest. The forest where their home is also has a park where people from a nearby city hang out. Whenever there is trouble in the forest or city, the deer friends, when within proximity of each other, can go into superhero mode, and use their powers to save the day.
Characters
Deer Squad members
Kai (voiced by Brody Allen in English) is the yellow deer who is the leader of the Deer Squad and the group's tech wizard. He has water powers and a hovercraft.
Lola (voiced by Juliet Rusche in English) is the pink deer who can grow plants on anything, and a car that can fly.
Rammy (voiced by Holden Thomas in English) is the big red deer who has heat powers and a race car that is able to convert into a robotic horse which is able to leap high.
Bobbi (voiced by Connor Elias Andrade in English) is the small green deer who has earth powers. He also has the ability to understand babbling animals and likes making desserts.

Wufu is a purple and yellow butterfly who is Jade's companion, and was also introduced in season 2. He doesn't talk but can whisper to Jade's ear so she can understand what he is saying.
Recurring
Sir Steel (voiced by Doug Erholtz in English) is a conceited wealthy entrepreneur who comes up with various plans either for profit or to simply provide himself with convenience even if it means causing problems in the city or wilderness which he does not seem to mind or realize. Though not entirely bald (he has a small hook of hair at the very top), Sir Steel wears a wig which is seen coming off sometimes. He is also the main antagonist of the series.
Professor Scratch (voiced by Julie Maddalena Kliewer in English) is Sir Steel's personal scientist.
Muffin is Sir Steel's pet poodle. Sir |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clowns%20and%20Balloons | Clowns and Balloons is a circus-themed video game written by Frank Cohen for the Atari 8-bit family and published in 1982 by Datasoft. The game was also released for the TRS-80 Color Computer, written by Steve Bjork. It is a clone of the 1977 arcade game Circus. A variant of Breakout, the player moves a trampoline to catch a bouncing clown who pops rows of balloons at the top of the screen with his head.
Gameplay
The object of Clowns and Balloons is to move a trampoline under a clown and bounce him high enough into the air to burst all the balloons. The player controls the trampoline's left and right movement with the joystick or paddles.
There is a bonus to score by clearing each row of balloons completely starting from the bottom and working up. If the balloons are not cleared in order, the row will refill. Clowns bounce at different angles depending on where they land on the trampoline.
The game features three levels of difficulty.
Reception
Charles Brannon, who reviewed the game for Compute! magazine, liked the game: "The animation remains fairly simple, though smooth. The sound and music are some of the best I've heard. Despite the simple theme, Clowns and Balloons turned out to be great fun, and inspired hours of frenzied joystick twisting." Page 6 admired the graphics and sound, calling them an impressive demonstration of the Atari's capabilities. However, they stated: "Playing required a lot of perseverence to get used to the speed of movement of the joystick. In fact I was beginning to get bored before I got good enough to burst the first set of balloons [...]". David Plotkin of SoftSide remarked that the game is easy to play but "requires quick reflexes and considerable skill" to master and recommended the paddle rather than the joystick. Plotkin echoed Page 6's sentiment regarding the presentation, stating: "The programmers at DataSoft understand the Atari's features very well." John Anderson in the book The Creative Atari praised the game, writing that fans of Circus would "especially appreciate the sophistication of Clowns and Balloons" and saying it "may well be the most addictive game I have seen since Threshold."

She campaigned publicly against the coerced sterilisation of women in Kenya with HIV. She was also a keen proponent of involving civil society and communities in tackling the HIV pandemic and challenging stigma and violence towards people who have the virus including supporting legal action.

She had one daughter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillel%20Katz | Hillel Katz (born 24 September 1905 in Cieszyn, Austro-Hungarian Empire) was a Polish Jewish Communist, who was an important member of a Soviet espionage network in occupied France, that the German Abwehr intelligence service later called the "Red Orchestra" ("Rote Kapelle"). In the role of an underground executive and recruiter, he acted as both secretary and assistant to Leopold Trepper and liaised between Léon Grossvogel and Henry Robinson in matters relating to the running of the French covert black market trading company Simex. Katz had a number of aliases that he used to disguise his identity, including Andre Dubois, Rene and Le Petite Andre.
Life
Katz was a communist activist who met Trepper in Palestine, where his parents had settled. His father was a teacher. Katz moved to Toulouse in France, where he met and became the lover of Cécile Fichten, an activist member of the Mouvement Jeunes Communistes de France. Together the couple had two children.
Red Orchestra
When he moved to Paris, Katz concealed his Jewish origins and legalised himself as a Frenchman under the name Andre Dubois. In Paris, Katz was one of the two main assistants to Trepper, along with Leon Grossvogel. Katz was totally dedicated, both to Trepper and the Communist cause. Trepper described him in a quote as: A mason, he knows how to handle the trowel and build a house.
Katz was particularly interested in educational reform, specifically in the modern and anti-authoritarian approach advocated by Célestin Freinet as well as the works of Maria Montessori. Katz devoted his spare time to the groups of young people that lived in Vitry-sur-Seine, where he organised hiking via the Camping and Culture Association ("Association Camping et Culture").
During the late 1930s, Katz lived at 13 Quai Saint-Michel in Paris, where he was a member of the communist section of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. During that period, Katz worked in a Racine bookshop where he managed the Youth fund. The book shop was popular with militants and political refugees.
In September 1939, Katz enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. He was captured and taken prisoner in June 1940 during the German advance, but managed to escape with Aldred Corbin by swimming across the River Somme. After his escape, Katz started to use the alias André Dubois. Corbin would become a chicken breeder and inventor of poultry feed. Katz would later recruit him for the Trepper group, to store a radio transmitter in Giverny where his poultry farm was located. Corbin would later become the commercial director of Simex.
Operations
Katz was always cheerful and his direct and frank approach combined with his optimistic demeanour garnered him many friends. These were useful in his work as a recruiter, while he worked at Simex, that enabled him to build relationships using his extensive contacts, to look for people who were Communists or favourably deposed to the group's work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Finnegan%20%28The%20Bold%20and%20the%20Beautiful%29 | John Finnegan is a fictional character from The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap opera on the CBS network, portrayed by Tanner Novlan.
Created by executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell in 2020, Finn made his first appearance on July 23 of that year, and is introduced as the doctor who treats Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) after she sustains injuries in a motorcycle accident and develops a dependency to her pain pills. In addition to the character's presence as part of an opioid addiction storyline, Finn evolved and became Steffy's love interest, subsequent to the pair meeting originally when she landed at the hospital, and both experiencing an immediate attraction to one another and, essentially, fell in love at first sight. Months later, Finn impregnates Steffy, the duo gets engaged, and then delivers their son, Hayes Finnegan, via home birth. They later marry one another in an intimate ceremony at the Forrester Estate.
Finn is later revealed to be the long-lost son of the nefarious villainess Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Finn is the product of an extramarital affair between Sheila and Jack Finnegan (Ted King) while he was married to Finn's adoptive mother, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda). Unbeknownst to Li and Finn, Sheila gave Finn up as a newborn and Jack arranged a secret adoption of his own biological son in order to keep his affair secret. Sheila made many attempts at contact with Finn, most of which were unsuccessful or disjointed due to Steffy's disapproval.
TV Source Magazine acclaimed Finn as a "strapping young doctor" who infused "a breath of fresh air" to the show; Carly Silver from Daytime Confidential asserted that the character was a "good seed." Commonly referred to by the portmanteau "Sinn" in magazines, on social media and internet message boards, the pairing of Finn and Steffy attracted a large fan following. Novlan has become popular with viewers and his introduction and performance in the role received much praise from critics and audiences alike, so much so that the actor's short term exit in April 2022 from the role sparked major controversy and social media uproar. It was later revealed that Novlan had, in fact, never vacated the role of Finn, and he re-appeared onscreen the next month in late May.
Creation
Casting
Tanner Novlan's daytime television debut and casting was exclusively reported by TVLine on July 9, 2020, alongside Delon de Metz's as a recast of Zende Forrester Dominguez. Novlan was previously known for appearing as "Struggling Actor" in a Liberty Mutual commercial and guest starring appearances on primetime series such as Modern Family, Mohawk Girls, Rizzoli & Isles, and Roswell, New Mexico. Soap Hub specified that Novlan, as John "Finn" Finnegan, was tapped to play Steffy Forrester's (Wood) potential love interest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimkin | Wimkin is an alt-tech social network that claims to promote free speech. The site describes itself as "100% uncensored social media". Wimkin was launched in August 2020 and was founded by Jason Sheppard.
As of January 2021, Wimkin had 300,000 users.
History
Wimkin launched in August 2020 after being founded by Jason Sheppard.
On January 12, 2021, Apple removed Wimkin from the Apple App Store for hosting violent content, including calls for a civil war and the arrest of then-Vice President Mike Pence. Sheppard stated that Wimkin had removed the violent content after Apple reported it to them. However, Apple claimed that they "continued to find direct threats of violence and calls to incite lawless action" on Wimkin. After Wimkin was removed from the App Store, Wimkin's website was hit with a DDoS attack.
Google subsequently removed Wimkin from the Google Play Store, with a Google spokesperson saying of the ban that, "We don't allow apps that depict or facilitate gratuitous violence or other dangerous activities." In response, Sheppard accused Google of treating Wimkin unfairly, stating in an email that, "We're being treated entirely unfairly and if we aren't reinstated when we've worked tirelessly to comply and become a better platform, we will be seeking legal remedy to at the very least, shed some light into this tyrannical monopoly."
In a message on Wimkin's website following the removals, the company said that "We are working on getting back in both Apple Store and Google Play." Wimkin has since returned to both the App Store and Google Play.
After Parler, another social network, was pulled offline by its host Amazon Web Services on January 11, former users of that site started migrating to Wimkin. In the twelve days following the storming of the United States Capitol, Wimkin claimed that its userbase had grown by 20 percent, amounting to around 55,000 new users.
Users and content
While Wimkin has groups relating to mundane topics, such as pets and traveling, Wimkin also has groups relating to fringe content, such as the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon. There were also posts and a group on Wimkin attempting to organize a "Million Militia March" for January 20, 2021 on Inauguration Day, but the posts and group were removed.
In January 2021, David Eberti of The Wall Street Journal found posts on Wimkin comparing Democrats with Nazis and a meme saying "If you don't believe in violence, get ready to hide behind someone who does."
Moderation
Wimkin prohibits pornography, nudity, harassment, and inciting violence. The site also does not fact-check posts.
Reception
In January 2021, Chris Tye from WBBM-TV described Wimkin as a platform "used by members of the so-called Trump celebrity class." Also in January, Anthony Cuthbertson of The Independent called Wimkin "yet another social media app popular with far right users".

According to SFGate, Wimkin functions like a combination of Twitter and Facebook, with users of the sit |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make%20School | Make School is a private for-profit computer science college in San Francisco, California. Located in the Union Square neighborhood, Make School offers a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Applied Computer Science.
As of August 2021 Make School is no longer operating as an independent program or school, and has become a direct program of Dominican University, offering all coursework online.
History
Make School was founded in 2012 as MakeGamesWithUs by co-founders Jeremy Rossmann and Ashutosh Desai who graduated from Menlo School before leaving MIT and UCLA, respectively, to start their company. While incubated. by Y Combinator, MakeGamesWithUs offered computer science summer camps for high school and college students.
In 2014 the company changed mission and correspondingly changed its name to Make School and a gap year program was launched. In 2015, the school launched the first Income Share Agreement backed long-form computer science program, billed as a 2 year alternative to college.
In 2018, Make School’s computer science program became the first post-secondary program to receive accreditation under the incubation policy developed by the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC). This policy allows alternative programs to become degree-granting if overseen by an established university.
Make School received approval from WSCUC to offer a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Applied Computer Science overseen by the Dominican University of California. Under the terms of the partnership, Dominican faculty teach general education courses on Make School’s campus, and Make School faculty teach computer science courses as part of a new computer science minor at Dominican. Students currently receive a degree from “Make School at Dominican University;” the purpose of the incubation process is for Make School to be an independently accredited institution within the next three to five years.
As a venture-backed school, Make School has received funding from Venrock, Kapor Capital, Learn Capital, Y Combinator, Fresco Capital, Tim Draper, and Alexis Ohanian.
Approach
Curriculum
Make School offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Computer Science. Students are required to complete courses in one of four concentrations: Frontend Web Development, Backend Web Development, Mobile Development, and Data Science. In addition, students must take general education courses, which are currently offered by faculty at Dominican University.
Make School’s curriculum is project-based and was designed in partnership with local tech industry employers including Yelp, Microsoft, and Lyft.
Admissions
Students are not required to submit standardized test scores as part of Make School’s application process. Students who do not demonstrate academic readiness but demonstrate aptitude and interest may be admitted conditionally on completion of an online coding curriculum that allows Make School to bring in students that other schools may traditionally reject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-5%20Southlink%20Expressway | The C-5 Southlink Expressway, signed as E2 of the Philippine expressway network, is a controlled-access toll expressway in Metro Manila connecting the Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) to the Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) in Taguig. The project is being built at the cost of , and is a joint project of the Philippine Reclamation Authority, Toll Regulatory Board, and Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation, a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation. Currently operational between Taguig and near E. Rodriguez Avenue in Parañaque only, its remaining segment up to CAVITEX is currently under construction.
Route description
C-5 Southlink Expressway starts at Carlos P. Garcia Avenue (C-5) in Taguig near its interchange with South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). It then ascends as the existing flyover that crosses Skyway, the PNR Metro Commuter Line, SLEX and the at-grade expressway's service roads before descending along C-5 Extension, which serves as its frontage roads, in Pasay. It then continues its course south of Ninoy Aquino International Airport until it meets its current terminus at C-5 Road Extension in Parañaque, near a Shell station. Unlike most expressways in the Philippine expressway network, the maximum speed on its existing section is .
The expressway's section towards Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) is currently under construction. It will continue its course south of the airport. It will then pass by Amvel City, where an interchange towards Sucat Road and a toll plaza will be located. It will end at a trumpet interchange with CAVITEX near the latter's Parañaque toll plaza.
History
In 1993, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) conducted a study on the proposed urban expressway system in Metro Manila. The master plan included the proposed Central Circumferential Expressway that would follow the old Circumferential Road 5 alignment from Navotas to Parañaque with the total length of about .
The original south extension of Circumferential Road 5, called Manila–Cavite Toll Expressway Project (MCTEP), was later approved by the Senate and would have been made as a toll expressway. However, in 2010, the project was scrapped in favor of the toll-free C-5 Road Extension that was controversial for traversing several of then-Senator Manny Villar's properties in Parañaque and Las Piñas. The toll expressway project was later revived as the C-5 Southlink Expressway project.
The construction of the expressway started on May 8, 2016. The expressway is being built in two phases, with the first phase that fills the gap between the C-5 main route and the C-5 Extension near Merville, Parañaque by constructing a flyover over South Luzon Expressway and Skyway, and the second phase involving construction of the Merville–R-1 segments. Phase 1 or Section 3A-1 (C-5 to Merville) was opened to traffic on July 23, 2019. The flyover's extension called Segment 3A-2 (Merville to E. Rodriguez) opened on August 14, 2022, with the Merville |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical%20Armenian%20population | Accurate or reliable data for historical populations of Armenians is scarce, but various scholars and institutions have proposed estimates for different periods.
For most recent data on Armenian populations, see Armenian population by country.
Ancient and medieval estimates
According to the Armenian National Atlas (2007), there were 2.5 to 3.5 million Armenians in the first century BC. The number of Armenians within the Armenian Highland rose to around 6 million by the early 13th century, prior to the Mongol invasion.
Elizabeth Redgate argues that the population of historical Armenia may never have exceeded 5 or 6 million as most of its extent was not fit for settlement.
19th and early 20th century
In his 1847 book Lands of the Bible: Visited and Described, the Scottish missionary John Wilson estimated the total Armenian population at 2.5 million, with 1 million in the Russian Empire, 1 million in the Ottoman Empire and 0.5 million in Persia and "other distant lands." In the same book, he quoted the figures provided by Lucas Balthazar (Ղուկաս Պալդազարեան), the "intelligent editor" of the Smyrna-based Armenian newspaper The Dawn of Ararat («Արշալոյս Արարատեան», Arshaluys Araratian). Balthazar estimated 5 million Armenians overall, with 2 million in Russia, 2 million in Turkey and 1 million in Persia, India and elsewhere.
The 9th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1875) cited Édouard Dulaurier's estimates c. 1850: "approximately four millions of Armenians in the world, of whom 2,500,000 were inhabitants of the Ottoman empire, 1,200,000 of the Russian empire, 25,000 in the empire of Austria, 150,000 in Persia and Azerbaijan, 25,000 in continental India and the Archipelago of Asia, and the remaining 100,000 scattered in various countries."
In his 1862 book The Turkish Empire. In its Relations with Christianity and Civilization, Richard Robert Madden wrote that the Armenian population worldwide is estimated at 4 million, of whom an estimated 2,400,000 in the Ottoman Empire ("an approximate computation, and probably below the truth"), 900,000 in the Russian Empire, 600,000 in Persia, 40,000 in India and "other realms of Asia", and 60,000 in "various European countries."
In 1876 J. Buchan Telfer, Captain in the Royal Navy and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, quoted the figures provided by Garabed Ghazarosian in his 1873 The Universal Year Book (Տիեզերական տարեցոյց). According to the source, there were a total of 4.2 million Armenians worldwide, including 2.5 million in Turkish dominions, 1.5 million in Russia, 34,000 in Persia, 14,600 in Austria, 15,000 in England, India and other British possessions, 8,400 in Romania, 8,000 in Egypt, and 120,000 in other countries.
At the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions, Armenian activist claimed that there were 5.1 million Armenians in total, including 80,000 Catholics and 20,000 Protestants.
In his 1896 book Story of Turkey and Armenia Reverend James Wilson Pierce estimated 2.4 million Ar |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%20in%20AI | Black in AI, formally called the Black in AI Workshop, is a technology research organization and affinity group, founded by computer scientists Timnit Gebru and Rediet Abebe in 2017. It started as a conference workshop, later pivoting into an organization. Black in AI increases the presence and inclusion of Black people in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) by creating space for sharing ideas, fostering collaborations, mentorship, and advocacy.
History
Black in AI was created in 2017 to address issues of lack of diversity in AI workshops, and was started as its own workshop within the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference. Because of algorithmic bias, ethical issues, and underrepresentation of Black people in AI roles; there has been an ongoing need for unity within the AI community to have focus on these issues. Black in AI has strived to continue the progress of improving the presence of people of color in the field of artificial intelligence.
In 2018 and 2019, the Black in AI workshop had many immigration visa issues to Canada, which spurred the conference to be planned for 2020 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. On December 7, 2020, Black in AI held its fourth annual workshop and first virtual workshop (due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
In 2021, Black in AI, alongside the groups Queer in AI and Widening NLP, released a public statement refusing funding from Google in an act of protest of Google's treatment of Timnit Gebru, Margaret Mitchell, and April Christina Curley in the events that occurred in December 2020.
Founders
Rediet Abebe is an Ethiopian computer scientist who specializes in algorithms and artificial intelligence. She is a Computer Science Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. She was previously a Junior Fellow at Harvard's Society of Fellows. She was the first Black woman to receive a Ph.D. in computer science at Cornell University. She "designs and analyzes algorithms, discrete optimizations, network-based, [and] computational strategies to increase access to opportunity for historically disadvantaged populations," according to her web bio.
Timnit Gebru was born in Ethiopia and moved to the United States at the age of fifteen. She got her B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from Stanford University, as well as a PhD from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where she studied computer vision under Fei-Fei Li. She formerly worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research in the Fairness Accountability Transparency, and Ethics (FATE) division. She's also worked with Apple, where she assisted in the development of signal-processing algorithms for the original iPad.
Grants
Black in AI received grants and support from private foundations like MacArthur Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation. The organization received $10,000 in 2018 for its annual workshop and $150,000 in 2019 for its long-term organizational planning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake%20ID | Snowflake IDs, or snowflakes, are a form of unique identifier used in distributed computing. The format was created by Twitter and is used for the IDs of tweets. It is popularly believed that every snowflake has a unique structure, so they took the name "snowflake ID". The format has been adopted by other companies, including Discord and Instagram. The Mastodon social network uses a modified version.
Format
Snowflakes are 64 bits in binary. (Only 63 are used to fit in a signed integer.) The first 41 bits are a timestamp, representing milliseconds since the chosen epoch. The next 10 bits represent a machine ID, preventing clashes. Twelve more bits represent a per-machine sequence number, to allow creation of multiple snowflakes in the same millisecond. The final number is generally serialized in decimal.
Snowflakes are sortable by time, because they are based on the time they were created. Additionally, the time a snowflake was created can be calculated from the snowflake. This can be used to get snowflakes (and their associated objects) that were created before or after a particular date.

Example
A tweet produced by @Wikipedia in June 2022 has the snowflake ID . The number may be converted to binary as , with pipe symbols denoting the three parts of the ID.
The first 41 (+ 1 top zero bit) bits convert to decimal as . Add the value to the Twitter Epoch of (in Unix time milliseconds), the Unix time of the tweet is therefore : June 28, 2022 16:07:40.105 UTC.
The middle 10 bits are the machine ID.
The last 12 bits decode to all zero, meaning this tweet is the first tweet processed by the machine at the given millisecond.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong%20connectivity%20augmentation | Strong connectivity augmentation is a computational problem in the mathematical study of graph algorithms, in which the input is a directed graph and the goal of the problem is to add a small number of edges, or a set of edges with small total weight, so that the added edges make the graph into a strongly connected graph.
The strong connectivity augmentation problem was formulated by . They showed that a weighted version of the problem is NP-complete, but the unweighted problem can be solved in linear time. Subsequent research has considered the approximation ratio and parameterized complexity of the weighted problem.
Unweighted version
In the unweighted strong connectivity augmentation problem, the input is a directed graph and the goal is to add as few edges as possible to it to make the result into a strongly connected graph. The algorithm for the unweighted case by Eswaran and Tarjan considers the condensation of the given directed graph, a directed acyclic graph that has one vertex per strongly connected component of the given graph. Letting denote the number of source vertices in the condensation (strongly connected components with at least one outgoing edge but no incoming edges), denote the number of sink vertices in the condensation (strongly connected components with incoming but no outgoing edges), and denote the number of isolated vertices in the condensation (strongly connected components with neither incoming nor outgoing edges), they observe that the number of edges to be added is necessarily at least . This follows because edges need to be added to provide an incoming edge for each source or isolated vertex, and symmetrically at least edges need to be added to provide an outgoing edge for each sink or isolated vertex. Their algorithm for the problem finds a set of exactly edges to add to the graph to make it strongly connected.
Their algorithm uses a depth-first search on the condensation to find a collection of pairs of sources and sinks, with the following properties:
The source of each pair can reach the sink of the pair by a path in the given graph.
Every source that is not in one of the pairs can reach a sink in one of the pairs.
Every sink that is not in one of the pairs can be reached from a source in one of the pairs.
A minor error in the part of their algorithm that finds the pairs of sources and sinks was later found and corrected.
Once these pairs have been found, one can obtain a strong connectivity augmentation by adding three sets of edges:
The first set of edges connects the pairs and the isolated vertices of the condensation into a single cycle, consisting of one edge per pair or isolated vertex.
The second set of edges each connect one of the remaining sinks to one of the remaining sources (chosen arbitrarily). This links both the source and the sink to the cycle of pairs and isolated vertices at a cost of one edge per source-sink pair.
Once the previous two sets of edges have either exhausted all source |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha%20K.%20Smith | Martha K. Smith is an American mathematician, mathematics educator, professor emerita in the department of mathematics, and associated professor emerita in the department of statistics and data science at the University of Texas at Austin. She made contributions to non-commutative algebra and as well as to mathematics education.
Education and career
Smith received a B.A. in mathematics (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan in 1965, a M.S. in mathematics in 1967, and a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1970, both from the University of Chicago. Her dissertation "Group Algebras" was supervised by Israel Nathan Herstein.
After completing her doctoral studies, Smith became a G.C. Evans Instructor of mathematics at Rice University in Houston, Texas (1970–1972). She joined the faculty of the department of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri in 1972 as an assistant professor. She began her long career at the University of Texas at Austin in 1973 as an assistant professor of mathematics. She was promoted to associate professor in 1976 and to professor in 1985. She retired in 2009 and became professor emerita of mathematics in 2019. In the lates 1990s, Smith became interested in statistics and taught statistics even after she retired.
In the late 1980s, the Texas legislature abolished mathematics education degrees and it became the responsibility of collegiate mathematics departments to prepare future K–12 teachers of mathematics. Smith took on this responsibility at the University of Texas at Austin. Smith used a variety of teaching methods as well bringing technology, group work, and writing projects into the curriculum before these techniques were in vogue. She held the belief that even the weakest student is capable of learning.
Smith served on the AMS-ASA-MAA-SIAM Data Committee in the late 1970s; this is the committee that is responsible for preparing the Annual survey of the Profession. She served on various committees of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) as well as serving as a referee for numerous journals and National Science Foundation panels. In 2011, Smith was a panelist for the AWM Hay Minisymposium Panel on The mathematical education of teachers and the common core at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Recognition
In spring 1993, Smith received a Department of Mathematics Teaching Award at Texas.
In 1994, Smith received the Dad's Association Centennial Teaching Fellowship at Texas.
In 1999, Smith was selected by the Association for Women in Mathematics to receive the Louise Hay Award for Contributions to Mathematics Education "in recognition of her very significant contributions to mathematics education and her outstanding achievements as a teacher and scholar".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton%20100%25 | Cotton 100% is a 1994 scrolling shooter video game developed by Success and originally published by Datam Polystar for the Super Famicom. The second installment in the Cotton franchise, it is a follow-up to Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. In the game, players assume the role of the titular young witch who, alongside her fairy companion Silk, sets out on her broomstick on a quest to defeat several monsters and get her Willow candy. Its gameplay is similar to the first game, mainly consisting of shooting mixed with role-playing game-esque elements using a main four-button configuration.
Cotton 100% garnered generally positive reception from critics who reviewed the original Super Famicom version as an import title. Most reviewers compared the game with other shoot 'em up titles like Keio Flying Squadron, Parodius and Pop'n TwinBee, being praised for its audiovisual presentation and gameplay but criticized for the short length and lack of two-player mode. It was later ported to the PlayStation in 2003 as a budget release, featuring downgrades compared with the original version. It was also re-released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 across western regions in 2021, marking the game's first official international appearance.
Gameplay
Cotton 100% is a scrolling shooter game similar to Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams where players assume role of the young witch Cotton who, alongside her fairy companion Silk, travels seven increasingly difficult levels through a fantasy dream-like world on a quest to defeat several monsters and get her Willow candy. The game is perhaps best described as something of a reinterpretation of the original Cotton as the enemy graphics and behaviors, gameplay mechanics, some of the stages and bosses, as well as the plot itself are virtually identical to the first game. However, in addition to many unique stages and enemies, the theme and colors in Cotton 100% are much brighter, and the actual level mapping is significantly different from the first game.
During gameplay, players must blast various monsters and avoid being shot while collecting crystal power-ups to enhance Cotton's firepower and unleash powerful magic spells on enemies, in addition of bombs capable of obliterating enemies. Cotton 100% also incorporates some role playing game elements as with the original Cotton, as players are able to level up their attack multiple times by collecting crystals dropped by enemies. The weapon system from the original arcade game was simplified, with players now selecting between multiple shot and magic spells configurations on an equipment screen similar to Gradius but the number of magic spells was reduced to two. Magic is refilled by picking up specific power-up items dropped by enemies, while players can also rescue captured fairies from enemies, acting as "options" and their attack formation depends on the currently selected magic spell. The player has lives represented by a broom and three lives, though only one hit |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno%20Zamborlin | Bruno Zamborlin (born 1983 in Vicenza) is an AI researcher, entrepreneur and artist based in London, working in the field of human-computer interaction. His work focuses on converting physical objects into touch-sensitive, interactive surfaces using vibration sensors and artificial intelligence. In 2013 he founded Mogees Limited a start-up to transform everyday objects into musical instruments and games using a vibration sensor and a mobile phone. With HyperSurfaces, he converts physical surfaces of any material, shape and form into data-enabled-interactive surfaces using a vibration sensor and a coin-sized chipset. As an artist, he produces art installations and performs with UK-based electronic music duo Plaid (Warp Records). He is also honorary visiting research fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Early life and education
From 2008-2011, Zamborlin worked at the IRCAM (Institute for Research and Coordination Acoustic Musical) – Centre Pompidou as a member of the Sound Music Movement Interaction team. Under the supervision of Frederic Bevilacqua, he started experimenting with the use of artificial intelligence and human movements, and contributed to the creation of Gesture Follower,
a software used to analyse body movements of performers and dancers through motion sensors in order to control sound and visual media in real-time, slowing down or speeding up their reproduction based on the speed the gestures are performed.
He has lived in London since 2011, where he developed a joint PhD between Goldsmiths, University of London and IRCAM - Centre Pompidou/Pierre and Marie Curie University Paris in AI, focussing on the concept of Interactive Machine Learning applied to digital musical instruments and performing arts.
Career
Zamborlin founded Mogees Limited in 2013 in London, with IRCAM being amongst the early partners.
Mogees transform physical objects into musical instruments and games using a vibration sensor and a series of apps for smartphones and desktop. After a campaign on Kickstarter in 2014, Mogees was used both by common users
and artists such as Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jean-Michel Jarre
and Plaid. The algorithms implemented in these apps employ a special version of physical modelling sound synthesis, where the vibration produced by users when interacting with the physical object are used as exciter for a digital resonator which runs in the app. The result is a hybrid, half acoustic and half digital sound which is a function of both software and acoustic properties of the physical object the users decide to play.
In 2017, Zamborlin founded HyperSurfaces together with computational artist Parag K Mital. to merge "the physical and the digital worlds". HyperSurfaces technology converts any surface made of any material, shape and size into data-enabled interactive objects, employing a vibration sensor and proprietary AI algorithms running on a coin-sized chipset. The vibrations generated by people's interactions on the surface are c |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cg%20%28programming%20language%29 | Cg (short for C for Graphics) and High-Level Shader Language (HLSL) are two names given to a high-level shading language developed by Nvidia and Microsoft for programming shaders. Cg/HLSL is based on the C programming language and although they share the same core syntax, some features of C were modified and new data types were added to make Cg/HLSL more suitable for programming graphics processing units.
Two main branches of the Cg/HLSL language exist: the Nvidia Cg compiler (cgc) which outputs DirectX or OpenGL and the Microsoft HLSL which outputs DirectX shaders in bytecode format. Nvidia's cgc was deprecated in 2012, with no additional development or support available.
HLSL shaders can enable many special effects in both 2D and 3D computer graphics. The Cg/HLSL language originally only included support for vertex shaders and pixel shaders, but other types of shaders were introduced gradually as well:
DirectX 10 (Shader Model 4) and Cg 2.0 introduced geometry shaders.
DirectX 11 (Shader Model 5) introduced compute shaders (GPGPU) and tessellation shaders (hull and domain). The latter is present in Cg 3.1.
DirectX 12 (Shader Model 6.3) introduced ray tracing shaders (ray generation, intersection, bit /closest hit / miss).
Background
Due to technical advances in graphics hardware, some areas of 3D graphics programming have become quite complex. To simplify the process, new features were added to graphics cards, including the ability to modify their rendering pipelines using vertex and pixel shaders.
In the beginning, vertex and pixel shaders were programmed at a very low level with only the assembly language of the graphics processing unit. Although using the assembly language gave the programmer complete control over code and flexibility, it was fairly hard to use. A portable, higher level language for programming the GPU was needed, so Cg was created to overcome these problems and make shader development easier.
Some of the benefits of using Cg over assembly are:
High level code is easier to learn, program, read, and maintain than assembly code.
Cg code is portable to a wide range of hardware and platforms, unlike assembly code, which usually depends on hardware and the platforms it's written for.
The Cg compiler can optimize code and do lower level tasks automatically, which are hard to do and error prone in assembly.
Language
Data types
Cg has six basic data types. Some of them are the same as in C, while others are especially added for GPU programming. These types are:
float - a 32bit floating point number
half - a 16bit floating point number
int - a 32bit integer
fixed - a 12bit fixed point number
bool - a boolean variable
sampler* - represents a texture object
Cg also features vector and matrix data types that are based on the basic data types, such as float3 and float4x4. Such data types are quite common when dealing with 3D graphics programming. Cg also has struct and array data types, which work in a similar way to |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical%20graph%20generator | A chemical graph generator is a software package to generate computer representations of chemical structures adhering to certain boundary conditions. The development of such software packages is a research topic of cheminformatics. Chemical graph generators are used in areas such as virtual library generation in drug design, in molecular design with specified properties, called inverse QSAR/QSPR, as well as in organic synthesis design, retrosynthesis or in systems for computer-assisted structure elucidation (CASE). CASE systems again have regained interest for the structure elucidation of unknowns in computational metabolomics, a current area of computational biology.
History
Molecular structure generation is a branch of graph generation problems. Molecular structures are graphs with chemical constraints such as valences, bond multiplicity and fragments. These generators are the core of CASE systems. In a generator, the molecular formula is the basic input. If fragments are obtained from the experimental data, they can also be used as inputs to accelerate structure generation. The first structure generators were versions of graph generators modified for chemical purposes. One of the first structure generators was CONGEN, originally developed for the DENDRAL project, the first artificial intelligence project in organic chemistry. DENDRAL was developed as a part of the Mariner program launched by the NASA to search for life on Mars. CONGEN dealt well with overlaps in substructures. The overlaps among substructures rather than atoms were used as the building blocks. For the case of stereoisomers, symmetry group calculations were performed for duplicate detection.
After DENDRAL, another mathematical method, MASS, a tool for mathematical synthesis and analysis of molecular structures, was reported. As with CONGEN, the MASS algorithm worked as an adjacency matrix generator. Many mathematical generators are descendants of efficient branch-and-bound methods from Igor Faradjev and Ronald C. Read's orderly generation method. Although their reports are from the 1970s, these studies are still the fundamental references for structure generators. In the orderly generation method, specific order-check functions are performed on graph representatives, such as vectors. For example, MOLGEN performs a descending order check while filling rows of adjacency matrices. This descending order check is based on an input valence distribution. The literature classifies generators into two major types: structure assembly and structure reduction. The algorithmic complexity and the run time are the criteria used for comparison.
Structure assembly
The generation process starts with a set of atoms from the molecular formula. In structure assembly, atoms are combinatorically connected to consider all possible extensions. If substructures are obtained from the experimental data, the generation starts with these substructures. These substructures provide known bonds in the m |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke%20of%20Madness%20Motors | Duke of Madness Motors: The Complete "Dear Friends" Radio Era is a book and data DVD set collecting the complete works of comedy group the Firesign Theatre's 1970s radio shows Firesign Theatre Radio Hour Hour, Dear Friends, and Let's Eat.
The set includes a 108-page book containing a historical essay, interviews, original scripts, and collages by Firesign founder Phil Proctor.
The data DVD contains more than 80 hours of material on MP3 audio, including 24 episodes of Firesign Theatre Radio Hour Hour, 21 episodes of Dear Friends, 12 episodes of Let's Eat, and a 1972 series finale, Martian Space Party. The collections were digitally remastered and annotated by the group's archivist and producer, Taylor Jessen along with several contributors including Mike McIntyre
Dear Friends and Let's Eat are each collected in both their original broadcast versions and later syndication edits.
Production
The project took more than 10 years to complete. Proctor told the Library of Congress in an interview that the material was gathered from archives in "our basements, garages, sheds" and "entire reel-to-reel recordings" made by fans during the original broadcasts. Jessen recovered one tape from a shed which had been buried under a mudslide.
The album was released on Seeland Records, the label run by experimental band Negativland; co-founder Peter Conheim cited Firesign Theatre as a direct influence on Negativland and hailed them as "pioneers of freely improvised radio".
Related albums
The group's 1972 compilation album Dear Friends was collected from the same radio sessions gathered in Duke of Madness Motors.
Dope Humor of the Seventies, a compilation album released by Stand Up! Records in November 2020, was distilled from the Duke of Madness Motors archive. The group considers the album a sequel to Dear Friends.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN%2066303 | The German standard DIN 66303 is a character set standard, which is used for character encoding in computer systems. The standard DIN 66303 bears the title "Information Technology: 8-Bit-Code" and was established in November 1986 (DIN 66303:1986-11). The most recent edition is from June 2000 (DIN 66303:2000-06).
The character set of the 2000 edition (DIN 66303:2000-06) corresponds in layout and repertoire to the international standard ISO/IEC 8859-1. The still often-used forerunner DIN 66303:1986-11 specified two code pages, the General Reference Version of the 8-Bit-Code (, ARV8) and the German Reference Version of the 8-Bit-Code (, DRV8).
DRV8 is an extension of DIN 66003 (the German adaptation of ISO/IEC 646) with European characters, whereas ARV8 represents a re-arrangement of the DIN 66003 characters to their internationally used (ISO-8859-1 or DEC MCS) code points.
Tables for the 1986 edition
DIN 66303:1986-11 – German Reference Version of the 8-bit Code (DRV8)
The DRV8 code corresponds to ISO-8859-1 with certain characters swapped, such as to make it an extension of DIN 66003 as opposed to of ASCII.
DIN 66303:1986-11 – General Reference Version of the 8-Bit-Code (ARV8)
The name "ARV8" is associated with ISO-8859-1 without rearrangement. Shown below is the common subset of the Latin parts of ISO 8859, which corresponds to the definition of ARV8 in the 1986 edition of DIN 66303.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-hop%20redundancy%20protocol | A first hop redundancy protocol (FHRP) is a computer networking protocol which is designed to protect the default gateway used on a subnetwork by allowing two or more routers to provide backup for that address; in the event of failure of an active router, the backup router will take over the address, usually within a few seconds. In practice, such protocols can also be used to protect other services operating on a single IP address, not just routers.
Examples of such protocols include (in approximate order of creation):
Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) - Cisco's initial, proprietary standard developed in 1998
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) - an open (albeit patent-encumbered) standard protocol based largely on Cisco's HSRP
Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) - patent-free, unencumbered alternative to Cisco's HSRP and the IETF's VRRP, developed in October 2003
Extreme Standby Router Protocol (ESRP) - Extreme Networks' proprietary standard with fast failover and layer 2 protection
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) - a more recent proprietary standard from Cisco that permits load balancing as well as redundancy
Routed Split multi-link trunking (R-SMLT) - an Avaya redundancy protocol
NetScreen Redundancy Protocol (NSRP) - a Juniper Networks proprietary router redundancy protocol providing load balancing
Chassis Cluster Redundant Ethernet - a Juniper Networks proprietary Ethernet redundancy protocol, used on its SRX platform
Multi-active Gateway Protocol (MAGP) - a Mellanox proprietary protocol based on VRRP that allows active-active operation
