https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern%20Hopfield%20network | Modern Hopfield networks (also known as Dense Associative Memories) are generalizations of the classical Hopfield networks that break the linear scaling relationship between the number of input features and the number of stored memories. This is achieved by introducing stronger non-linearities (either in the energy function or neurons’ activation functions) leading to super-linear (even an exponential) memory storage capacity as a function of the number of feature neurons. The network still requires a sufficient number of hidden neurons.
The key theoretical idea behind the Modern Hopfield networks is to use an energy function and an update rule that is more sharply peaked around the stored memories in the space of neuron’s configurations compared to the classical Hopfield network.
Classical Hopfield networks
Hopfield networks are recurrent neural networks with dynamical trajectories converging to fixed point attractor states and described by an energy function. The state of each model neuron is defined by a time-dependent variable , which can be chosen to be either discrete or continuous. A complete model describes the mathematics of how the future state of activity of each neuron depends on the known present or previous activity of all the neurons.
In the original Hopfield model of associative memory, the variables were binary, and the dynamics were described by a one-at-a-time update of the state of the neurons. An energy function quadratic in the was defined, and the dynamics consisted of changing the activity of each single neuron only if doing so would lower the total energy of the system. This same idea was extended to the case of being a continuous variable representing the output of neuron , and being a monotonic function of an input current. The dynamics became expressed as a set of first-order differential equations for which the "energy" of the system always decreased. The energy in the continuous case has one term which is quadratic in the (as in the binary model), and a second term which depends on the gain function (neuron's activation function). While having many desirable properties of associative memory, both of these classical systems suffer from a small memory storage capacity, which scales linearly with the number of input features.
Discrete variables
A simple example of the Modern Hopfield network can be written in terms of binary variables that represent the active and inactive state of the model neuron .In this formula the weights represent the matrix of memory vectors (index enumerates different memories, and index enumerates the content of each memory corresponding to the -th feature neuron), and the function is a rapidly growing non-linear function. The update rule for individual neurons (in the asynchronous case) can be written in the following form which states that in order to calculate the updated state of the -th neuron the network compares two energies: the energy of the network with the -th n |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn%20Strutynski | Kathryn Betty Strutynski (née Latimer) (5 February 1931 – 9 April 2010) was a mathematician and computer scientist, and attended University at Brigham Young University and the Naval Postgraduate School. Besides jobs at Pan Am Airways and Bechtel Corporation, she worked at Digital Research, where she contributed to the development of CP/M, the first mainstream operating system for microcomputers.
Early life and education
Kathryn Betty Latimer was born on 5 February 1931 in Nephi, Utah, USA. Her father was Andrew Hans Latimer and her mother Henrietta Norton.
Latimer obtained an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Brigham Young University in 1953, and taught high school mathematics in Utah for two years.
Career
In the early 1950s, she moved to San Francisco, where she worked at Pan Am Airways doing research. Kathy eventually became responsible for all the charter bids at the Western Division of Pan Am. When Pan Am consolidated its offices in New York Latimer was the only woman to be offered moving expenses to relocate to New York, but she declined the offer.
After Pan Am, Kathryn Latimer worked at McGraw-Hill and the estimating department of Bechtel Corporation. When the company decided to purchase a mainframe computer, Latimer was sent to take every class given at IBM. In 1952 and 1953, she built the company's first database retrieval system, with 10 engineers working under her charge, renting computer time since they did not have a mainframe computer at that time. The database was used for a period of ten years. In 1958, she married Alfred Waldemar Strutynski.
Kathryn Strutynski's husband moved to Monterey, California to work for the County of Monterey as an auditor. The couple lived in Carmel Village, where she worked at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) since 1967 and completed a master's degree program in computer programming at the same time. Strutynski was given system responsibility for the VM operating system at the NPS. At the same time, Gary Kildall also taught at the NPS and was interested in operating systems. They became friends, studied and made unofficial changes to the IBM VM-360 and 370.
Digital Research
Kathryn Strutynski left NPS and, in 1978/1979, became the fourth employee of Digital Research, Inc. She adapted CP/M-80 for the Apple II and worked on CP/M 2.0, CP/M 2.2, CP/M Plus, and DESPOOL, a background spooler for printing (utilizing simple multi-tasking) as well as on the system guides. She also was the project manager for CP/M-86, Concurrent CP/M-86 and Concurrent PC DOS.
Around 1985, Strutynski returned to work for NPS at the W. R. Church Computer Center, where she raised the PC lab and taught MS-DOS and WordPerfect courses as Manager of Microcomputing Support and Learning Resource Centers.
In her later years she ran Strutynski Associates in Carmel.
Personal life
Kathryn Latimer met Alfred Waldemar Strutynski in a German dance hall. They married in 1958 and moved to Carmel since her husband had started wor |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval%20Data%20Structure | In computer science, a retrieval data structure, also known as static function, is a space-efficient dictionary-like data type composed of a collection of (key, value) pairs that allows the following operations:
Construction from a collection of (key, value) pairs
Retrieve the value associated with the given key or anything if the key is not contained in the collection
Update the value associated with a key (optional)
They can also be thought of as a function for a universe and the set of keys where retrieve has to return for any value and an arbitrary value from otherwise.
In contrast to static functions, AMQ-filters support (probabilistic) membership queries and dictionaries additionally allow operations like listing keys or looking up the value associated with a key and returning some other symbol if the key is not contained.
As can be derived from the operations, this data structure does not need to store the keys at all and may actually use less space than would be needed for a simple list of the key value pairs. This makes it attractive in situations where the associated data is small (e.g. a few bits) compared to the keys because we can save a lot by reducing the space used by keys.
To give a simple example suppose video game names annotated with a boolean indicating whether the game contains a dog that can be petted are given. A static function built from this database can reproduce the associated flag for all names contained in the original set and an arbitrary one for other names. The size of this static function can be made to be only bits for a small which is obviously much less than any pair based representation.
Examples
A trivial example of a static function is a sorted list of the keys and values which implements all the above operations and many more.
However, the retrieve on a list is slow and we implement many unneeded operations that can be removed to allow optimizations.
Furthermore, we are even allowed to return junk if the queried key is not contained which we did not use at all.
Perfect hash functions
Another simple example to build a static function is using a perfect hash function: After building the PHF for our keys, store the corresponding values at the correct position for the key. As can be seen, this approach also allows updating the associated values, the keys have to be static. The correctness follows from the correctness of the perfect hash function. Using a minimum perfect hash function gives a big space improvement if the associated values are relatively small.
XOR-retrieval
Hashed filters can be categorized by their queries into OR, AND and XOR-filters. For example, the bloom filter is an AND-filter since it returns true for a membership query if all probed locations match. XOR filters work only for static retrievals and are the most promising for building them space efficiently. They are built by solving a linear system which ensures that a query for every key returns true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius%20Read%20House | Lucius Read House, the site of the Byron Museum of History, was an Underground Railroad station along a network of stations to the Northern states and Canada. Located in Byron, Illinois, it was one of three stations in the strongly anti-slavery town from 1850 to 1862. Refugees received fresh clothing, food, shelter, and transportation to the next station. Lucius Read's stepsons and stepdaughter are notable for their roles in the events leading up to and during the American Civil War.
Underground Railroad
Lucius Read was a stationmaster, who secretly helped enslaved people make it through the area. He was a member of the Congregational church, where most members were abolitionists, including the pastor George Gammell (1843–1862). The Lucius Read House is the only surviving structure of three Underground Railroad stations in Byron from 1850 to 1862. The barns of the Dresser and Tanner family were the other two stations.
Enslaved people who ran away were called "fugitive slaves" at the time. They had to be careful of slave catchers who could capture enslaved people in the free states, like Illinois, and return them to their slave holders in the South. Many escapees chose to go to Canada, where they would be safe from slave hunters. It was a crime for anyone in the United States to harbor or aid freedom seekers. So the Reads had to be careful for their own sake, too.
Some freedom seekers who came to the Read house were taken to the basement where they were provided food, a fresh set of clothing, and shelter. Within the house there were hidden stairwells and secret doors. When transported by the Read family, freedom seekers hid in false bottoms of their wagon.
The Read family
Lucius migrated from Vermont to Illinois in 1836 with his first wife, Emily Read. They initially built a log house and about 1843, they built a brick house. It is one of the oldest houses in Byron.
Lucius Read's second wife Tryphenia was the mother of Sam and Luke Parsons who fought with John Brown. Read's stepdaughter Addie M. Parsons served with the 92nd Illinois Infantry Regiment. Her brother Sam and a nephew enlisted in the 92nd and she received permission from the captain of the regiment to travel with them and serve the unit. She brought a sewing kit and stationery with her on the railroad trip to Cairo, Illinois with the regiment. She set up in the hospital tent. Many of the soldiers in the regiment knew her and had gone to school with her in Bryon. She fulfilled requests to mend clothing and write letters, and was soon busy working with physicians and hospital stewards to care for soldiers with typhoid fever, malaria, and other illnesses or injuries. She did not receive pay for her work, so the soldiers in the regiment each gave her money until none of the soldiers received more than she did. Once the regiment moved to the front, she went to Missouri and worked in a hospital in St. Louis and in the Benton barracks until the 92nd regiment mustered out. She married an |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling%20on%20ESPN | Cycling on ESPN is the de facto name for broadcasts of multiple-stage bicycle races airing on the ESPN cable television network.
Overview
ESPN was the exclusive American cable television outlet for the annual Tour de France event from 1992-2000. ESPN also broadcast the Tour DuPont race throughout the entirety of its existence from 1989 to 1996. ESPN also provided coverage of the 1988 Coors International Bicycle Classic, the 1989 World Professional Cycling Championships from Chambéry, France, the 1990 US Pro Cycling Championships in Philadelphia, and the 1996 U.S. Olympic Cycling Team Trials.
Tour de France coverage
From 1989 to 1991, ESPN only provided three one-hour long highlight specials for each race. Meanwhile, ESPN's sister network, ABC had only provided coverage that recapped the previous week's action on their Saturday afternoon anthology series, Wide World of Sports also since 1989. Come 1992, ESPN announced that they would devote at least 16 hours to covering the Tour the France. All in all, it would be the most comprehensive coverage that an American television network devoted to the Tour de France up until that time.
ESPN would air each stage on a same-day delay during the afternoon for the next 22 days. Instead of producing the broadcasts themselves from the ground up, ESPN relied on France's world feed.
In 2001, ESPN and ABC would be supplanted by the Outdoor Life Network in broadcasting the Tour de France.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel%20Lubkin | Samuel Lubkin (1906-1972) was a mathematician and computer scientist instrumental in the early history of computing.
Life
Lubkin studied mathematics at Cooper Union in New York City, and was president of the Cooper Union Mathematics Club in the 1923-1924 academic year. He received a PhD in applied mathematics from Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
He later went on to work on the design of the ENIAC computer while at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.
Lubkin afterwards joined the US Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory to work with other ENIAC designers on the design of the EDVAC computer's programming system, It has been claimed that the "Operating Manual for the EDVAC", which was authored by Lubkin, was "the bible of the computer industry in the late 1940s and early 1950s".
After that he joined the design team who went on to build the first UNIVAC computer.
In the 1940s, Reeves Instrument Corporation hired Lubkin to lead a project designing their first digital computer. Reeves later decided to build analogue computers instead (which ultimately resulted in the Reeves Electronic Analog Computer series of machines), and Lubkin left the company for a job in the digital computer division of the National Bureau of Standards (the US government organization later renamed the National Institute of Standards and Technology).
The bureau essentially hired Lubkin to replicate his design for the EDVAC, and this would go on to become the bureau's SEAC computer.
Electronic Computer Corporation
Within a few months, Lubkin left the bureau, and started his own company with Murray Pfefferman, who had been part of the SEAC design team, with Lubkin as president. This was the Electronic Computer Corporation. The company was established in Brooklyn, New York, as that is where Lubkin's extended family lived. Even as a fledgling enterprise, the company was able to hire several very experienced engineers who had a pedigree in large corporations like the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation (creator of the ENIAC), as prominent Jewish scientists and engineers were losing their security clearance (and consequently, their defense sector jobs) as a result of the House Un-American Activities Committee, which sometimes equated Jewish heritage with Communist sympathies. Other notable employees included Evelyn Berezin.
The main product of this company was a "low cost" (for the time) digital computer named the ELECOM 100. This was a vacuum tube computer with a drum memory. It was also the first computer in history that operated with magnetic tape data storage, which was a separate peripheral. While smaller than some other room-sized computers, the ELECOM 100 was still not small by modern standards. The machine measured 10 feet wide by 6 feet high by 2 feet deep, not including the desk the operator would need to sit at, plus space for other sundry peripherals. The ELECOM 100 was successfully tested for use at Ballistic Rese |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%20Cyclone | Project Cyclone was a 20-year initiative of the US Office of Naval Research that lasted from 1946 to the mid-1960s. It was one of a series of projects whose purpose was to develop a computer laboratory with a company in the private sector that would do research and development on missile systems, as well as on classified problems in navigation, ballistics, engine control, electrical circuit analysis, and other fields. A secondary motivation was to strengthen the US's connections with civilian scientists and technology companies that had developed during WWII.
Project Cyclone was a partnership with Reeves Instrument Corporation. There were two sister projects: Project Whirlwind, which was a partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to build a digital computer (resulting in the Whirlwind I), and Project Typhoon, which was a partnership to build an analog computer with RCA.
The project led to the development of the original Reeves Electronic Analog Computer (or "REAC"), as well as subsequent models. Under the auspices of Project Cyclone, Reeves personnel would also be responsible for operating competitors' hardware in the lab, such as the ELECOM 100, produced by Electronic Computer Corporation. This was generally done to test the results of the Reeves-built machines in the lab.
The offices of the project were originally located on the premises of Reeves Instrument Corporation in New York, but by the 1950s the project had expanded such that it required three separate computer laboratories. The largest Project Cyclone lab contained 13 full REAC machines.
Project Cyclone, jointly with Reeves, was the organizer of multiple symposiums on analog computers. The first one was held in March 1951 in NYC, and was attended by 141 visitors from elite engineering organizations all over the world, such as the Applied Physics Laboratory and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The proceedings of these symposia were published under the title "Project Cyclone Symposium on REAC Techniques".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockmodeling | Blockmodeling is a set or a coherent framework, that is used for analyzing social structure and also for setting procedure(s) for partitioning (clustering) social network's units (nodes, vertices, actors), based on specific patterns, which form a distinctive structure through interconnectivity. It is primarily used in statistics, machine learning and network science.
As an empirical procedure, blockmodeling assumes that all the units in a specific network can be grouped together to such extent to which they are equivalent. Regarding equivalency, it can be structural, regular or generalized. Using blockmodeling, a network can be analyzed using newly created blockmodels, which transforms large and complex network into a smaller and more comprehensible one. At the same time, the blockmodeling is used to operationalize social roles.
While some contend that the blockmodeling is just clustering methods, Bonacich and McConaghy state that "it is a theoretically grounded and algebraic approach to the analysis of the structure of relations". Blockmodeling's unique ability lies in the fact that it considers the structure not just as a set of direct relations, but also takes into account all other possible compound relations that are based on the direct ones.
The principles of blockmodeling were first introduced by Francois Lorrain and Harrison C. White in 1971. Blockmodeling is considered as "an important set of network analytic tools" as it deals with delineation of role structures (the well-defined places in social structures, also known as positions) and the discerning the fundamental structure of social networks. According to Batagelj, the primary "goal of blockmodeling is to reduce a large, potentially incoherent network to a smaller comprehensible structure that can be interpreted more readily". Blockmodeling was at first used for analysis in sociometry and psychometrics, but has now spread also to other sciences.
Definition
A network as a system is composed of (or defined by) two different sets: one set of units (nodes, vertices, actors) and one set of links between the units. Using both sets, it is possible to create a graph, describing the structure of the network.
During blockmodeling, the researcher is faced with two problems: how to partition the units (e.g., how to determine the clusters (or classes), that then form vertices in a blockmodel) and then how to determine the links in the blockmodel (and at the same time the values of these links).
In the social sciences, the networks are usually social networks, composed of several individuals (units) and selected social relationships among them (links). Real-world networks can be large and complex; blockmodeling is used to simplify them into smaller structures that can be easier to interpret. Specifically, blockmodeling partitions the units into clusters and then determines the ties among the clusters. At the same time, blockmodeling can be used to explain the social roles existing in the |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ale%C5%A1%20%C5%BDiberna | Aleš Žiberna is a Slovene statistician, whose specialty is network analysis. His specific research interests include blockmodeling, multivariate analysis and computer intensive methods (e.g., computer simulations, resampling methods).
Currently, he is employed at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Ljubljana, specifically at the Chair of Social Informatics and Methodology, and Centre for Methodology and Informatics.
Work
In 2007, he proposed a solution to the generalized valued blockmodeling by introducing homogeneity blockmodeling with the basic idea "that the inconsistency of an empirical block with its ideal block can be measured by within block variability of appropriate values". The newly-formed ideal blocks, which are appropriate for blockmodeling of valued networks, are then presented together with the definitions of their block inconsistencies.
He also (in 2007/08) developed an implicit blockmodeling approach, based on previous work of Batagelj and Ferligoj (2000).
In 2014, he proposed a new approach to the blockmodeling - blockmodeling linked networks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC-8 | BASIC-8, is a BASIC programming language for the Digital Equipment (DEC) PDP-8 series minicomputers. It was the first BASIC dialect released by the company, and its success led DEC to produce new BASICs for its future machines, notably BASIC-PLUS for the PDP-11 series. DEC's adoption of BASIC cemented the use of the language as the standard educational and utility programming language of its era, which combined with its small system requirements, made BASIC the major language during the launch of microcomputers in the mid-1970s.
History
David Ahl joined Digital Equipment's (DEC's) expanding educational sales division in 1969. The division was mostly tasked with selling the PDP-8 minicomputer to high schools and colleges. These were not yet widespread; a typical single-user machine of the late 1960s cost in the order of $10,000 (), not including mass storage and other peripherals. Around this time, both Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Honeywell had introduced new 16-bit minicomputers with time sharing that were becoming popular in the educational markets. In particular, HP's 16-bit HP 2100 with HP Time-Shared BASIC was very popular leading HP to package it as the HP2000 for sales into the programming and educational markets. Although the HP2000 was even more expensive than the PDP-8, by sharing access among many users, typically up to 16 at a time, the effective cost was much lower than single-user machines.
At the time, DEC was heavily promoting their own language for educational uses, FOCAL, a cut-down version of JOSS. The language had a number of features that allowed it to run in extremely limited memory, including the PDP-8's 4 KB of core memory. It was conceptually similar to BASIC, especially in the interactive method of typing in programs and the general layout of programs. Ahl collected FOCAL programs submitted from users and published them in the department's EDU newsletter.
Ahl found that prospective customers were not interested in FOCAL, at least outside the Boston-area where DEC was located. BASIC was already widely used by this time, and a growing library of educational programs and games in BASIC were becoming available. These were being published in newsletter format, almost always in HP2000 dialect, and the sheer volume of BASIC programs was overwhelming FOCAL. Ahl found no interest on the part DEC management or software development department to produce a BASIC, nor any interest in supporting FOCAL on the other machines in their lineup. He also noted an increasing hostility to the idea of allowing any other company to produce a version of the language.
Concluding a BASIC was required for the PDP-8 to allow it to compete in the educational market, he hired a Brooklyn area programmer to develop one. This became BASIC-8. To aid its uptake, Ahl personally ported over several popular FOCAL programs, notably the games Lunar Lander and The Sumerian Game, which he renamed Hamurabi. BASIC-8 was an immediate best-seller, and by the early 197 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontevedra%20Public%20Library | The Public Library of Pontevedra Antonio Odriozola located in Pontevedra (Spain) is the provincial state library in the province of Pontevedra and is part of the Public Library Network of Galicia and the State Public Library Network (BPE). Its management has been transferred to the Autonomous Community of Galicia through the Department of Culture of the Galician Government.
It is dedicated to Antonio Odriozola Pietas (1911–1987), who was born in Vitoria. He settled in Pontevedra in 1964, where he carried out much of his work as a bibliographer, researcher and erudite.
Location
The Pontevedra Public Library is located at number 3 Alfonso XIII Street, next to the Barca Bridge.
History
The Public Library of Pontevedra was created in 1848, when it received the old collections confiscated from the monasteries and convents suppressed by the Spanish confiscation. It was installed in the Provincial High School of Secondary Education, in the former Jesuit College, opening on 2 February 1849.
Throughout its history, it has had several locations. At first, in 1907, it was located in the Palace of the Deputation of Pontevedra, then in the archives of the Provincial Finance Office and finally in the Valle-Inclán High School in 1931. In 1960, it was moved to the Fonseca House, then called the House of Culture, sharing space with the Historical Archive of the Province of Pontevedra.
In order to put an end to the situation of lack of space and shortage suffered by the Fonseca House and the library, and after examining several possible locations, on 7 September 1984 the Ministry of Culture bought a plot of land used as a garage by the La Unión bus company, in Alfonso XIII street. The Ministry of Culture built a new five-storey building for the library (basement, ground floor and four floors).
The project was carried out by Ministry of Culture architect Julio Simonet Barrio. He designed a building of spread over five floors, with three reading rooms for 200 people each, a meeting and conference room, an audio library and an exhibition room, as well as four large storage rooms with a total capacity of 280,000 books. At the end of 1987, the library moved to this location and the building was inaugurated on 21 January 1988.
In 1989 the management of the library was taken over by the Xunta de Galicia.
On 28 April 1995, the Pontevedra Public Library was named after Antonio Odriozola, in honour of his work as a bibliographer and researcher in the library's collections.
Collections
The library has a children's library organised by age, a library of adult literature, a section of informative books organised by UDC (Universal Decimal Classification), a reference section, a local collection on themes and authors from Pontevedra, including Legal deposit, a library of newspapers and audiovisual documents, a section of comics of all genres (adventures, graphic novels, humour, fantasy, science-fiction). The collection is complemented by the special collection of h |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack%20computer | The Hack Computer is a theoretical computer design created by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken and described in their book, The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles. In using the term “modern”, the authors refer to a digital, binary machine that is patterned according to the von Neumann architecture model.
The Hack computer is intended for hands-on virtual construction in a hardware simulator application as a part of a basic, but comprehensive, course in computer organization and architecture. One such course, created by the authors and delivered in two parts, is freely available as a massive open online course (MOOC) called Build a Modern Computer From First Principles: From Nand to Tetris. In the twelve projects included in the course, learners start with a two input Nand gate and end up with a fully operational virtual computer, including both hardware (memory and CPU) and software (assembler, VM, Java-like programming language, and OS). In addition to the hardware simulator used for initial implementation of the computer hardware, a complete Hack computer emulator program and assembler that supports the projects described in the book and the on-line course is also available at the author's web site.
Hardware architecture
The Hack computer hardware consists of three basic elements as shown in the block diagram. There are two separate 16-bit memory units and a central processing unit (CPU). Because data is moved and processed by the computer in 16-bit words, the Hack computer is classified as a 16-bit architecture.
The instruction memory, implemented as read-only memory from the viewpoint of the computer and designated ROM, holds assembled binary program code for execution. The random access memory, called RAM, provides storage for an executing program’s data and provides services and storage areas for the computer’s memory-mapped I/O mechanism. Data processing and program control management are provided by the CPU.
The three units are connected by parallel buses. The address buses (15-bit), as well as the data and instruction busses (16-bit) for the ROM and RAM units are completely independent. Therefore, the Hack design follows the Harvard architecture model with respect to bus communication between the memory units and the CPU. All memory is word addressable only.
Read-only memory (ROM)
The Hack computer’s ROM module is presented as a linear array of individually addressable, sequential, 16-bit memory registers. Addresses start at 0 (0x0000). Since the memory elements are sequential devices, a system clock signal is supplied by the simulation application and the computer emulator application. The ROM address bus is 15 bits wide, so a total of 32,768 individual words are available for program instructions. The address of the currently active word is supplied by a program counter register within the CPU (see below). The value in the ROM memory register identified by the addres |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillowfort | Pillowfort is an American social media networking service and microblogging website. The website was launched in 2017 and is currently in open beta. As of October 2020, the site had more than 100,000 users.
The website is popular among fandoms, the LGBT community, and adult content creators.
Features
Pillowfort was created to combine features from platforms such as Livejournal, Twitter, and Tumblr. Registered users of the website may create, reblog, and comment on posts, as well as follow individual users or "community" groups. Posts may contain text, images, or embedded elements.
User page – Each user has a publicly viewable blog page whose content they control.
Home feed – Each user has a personal scrolling feed of content determined by who they follow and what communities they belong to and have chosen to watch.
Sidebar – A pop-out sidebar shows counts of a person's followers and mutuals (those also followed by the person) and allows messaging, posting, and access to communities and search functions.
Tags – All posts can have tags to help with navigation and that enable them to be searched for. Tags are also used for blacklisting.
Content control – Users can block commenting, reblogging, or viewing of their posts on a post-by-post basis.
User-created communities – Users can form communities with other members, which anyone can join to view and post or reblog to a 'communal home feed'.
NSFW content filtering – A NSFW toggle is present in each post. Members can set preferences so as not to see NSFW posts.
Blacklisting and blocking – Individuals can be blocked so that their posts and messages are not visible. Tags can be blacklisted so posts with them are not seen.
History
Pillowfort was founded by Julia Baritz, who began advertising the project with a business partner on Tumblr in 2015. An Indiegogo campaign for the site successfully reached its goal in 2016, allowing for the first wave of beta users to register in 2017. Further funds were raised through a Kickstarter campaign in 2018.
After the social media platform Tumblr changed its content policy in 2018, greatly limiting mature works, a large number of users migrated to Pillowfort, which had more accepting terms regarding mature content and a greater ability to filter said content. Registrations had to be temporarily closed as the site received a tenfold increase in traffic and over 8,000 new registration requests, causing infrastructural instability.
In 2019, Pillowfort migrated from the .io domain to .social due to the site's hosting of sexual content, which is disallowed by the .io registrar. Because Pillowfort allows adult content, PayPal ended their business relationship with them.
When free public registration was opened on 25 January 2021, new users found and exploited security-related bugs on the website. Pillowfort was taken offline for three months while the staff fixed the vulnerabilities which were uncovered, and reopened without free public registration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global%20Action%20Fund%20for%20Fungal%20Infections | The Global Action For Fungal Infections (GAFFI), is an international foundation focussed on raising awareness of and collecting worldwide data on fungal disease. Its aim is to make reliable and inexpensive diagnostic tests widely available.
In 2015, GAFFI proposed action to make affordable fungal diagnostic tests and antifungal treatments available to 95% of the world's population by 2025. In 2018 GAFFI calculated that globally around one billion people have fungal infections of the skin, more than one million people become blind from fungal keratitis, more than 10 million people develop lung disease after breathing in fungal spores, and more than 300 million people have a severe fungal infection every year, of whom over 1.5 million die.
Location and members
The GAFFI is based in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Its Board Chair is Oddi Aasheim.
Aims
GAFFI is an international foundation focussed on raising awareness of and collecting worldwide data on fungal disease burden. Its primary aims are to get reliable and inexpensive diagnostic tests to be widely available, particularly in low and middle income countries. The tests can be produced but the increasing cost of regulatory approval causes difficulty in getting them from the experimental stage in the laboratory to real world use in clinics.
Activities
GAFFI has successfully advocated for multiple diagnostics as Essential to be listed on the World Health Organization's EDL. GAFFI tracks country registration and access to Essential Medicines for antifungal agents.
GAFFI also estimates and publicises data on fungal diseases incidence and prevalence (burden).
The GAFFI was launched in London in 2013. In 2015, GAFFI proposed action to make fungal diagnostic tests and antifungal treatments available to 95% of the world's population by 2025 95/95 by 2025. Six actions were proposed:
Provide rapid diagnostic tests that do not rely on culture, and that are affordable.
Establish at least one laboratory in each country, led by fungal disease experts
Create clinical guidelines and teaching programmes
Better distribution of antifungal medicines on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines
Establish fungal infection surveillance systems
Invest in public health mycology
In 2018 the GAFFI calculated that globally around one billion people every year have fungal infections of the skin, more than one million people become blind from fungal keratitis, more than 10 million people develop lung disease after breathing in fungal spores, and more than 300 million people have severe fungal infections, of which over 1.5 million will die from it.
In 2022, GAFFI published a report on access to diagnostics in 49 African countries, with the Africa Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. Many gaps remain.

As well as forming a network linking different iwi and hapū, Tūhono aims to promote cultural and spiritual wellbeing and benefit to the Māori community and also personal development and education. Tūhono is maintained as a charitable trust, established under the 1993 Electoral Act as a means for individual Māori to register their affiliation with iwi, in order to facilitate links and interaction between the iwi and their members. The Tūhono Central Web Service links with the New Zealand Electoral Commission database in association with the New Zealand Government, allowing for automatic notifications to the iwi when a member changes address.
The Māori word Tūhono means to link or connect.
Tūhono developed from a 1997 initiative by the Tautoko Māori Trust under Chairman Sir Paul Reeves. The Tūhono Trust was established in 2003 as kaitiaki (guardians) of Tūhono. By 2004 100,000 Māori had registered with Tūhono. The following year, the Tūhono website was launched, and by 2011, 120 iwi and affiliated groups were registered as Tūhono organisations and were able to link to their members.
The trust is based in Hamilton. Nine trustees are appointed by the country's various iwi, each one representing a different region. The chairperson and deputy chairperson are Anthony Olsen and Dr Te Taka Keegan respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter%20Biden%20laptop%20controversy | In October 2020, a controversy arose involving data from a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden that was abandoned at a Delaware computer shop in 2019. John Paul Mac Isaac, the shop owner, said that the laptop was left by a man who identified himself as Hunter Biden. The proprietor also stated that he is legally blind and could not be sure whether the man was actually Hunter Biden. Three weeks before the 2020 United States presidential election, the New York Post published a front-page story that presented emails from the laptop, alleging they showed corruption by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. According to the New York Post, the story was based on information provided to Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney of incumbent president and candidate Donald Trump, by Mac Isaac. Forensic analysis later authenticated some of the data from the laptop, including one of two key emails used by the Post in their initial reporting.
Trump attempted to turn the story into an October surprise to hurt Joe Biden's campaign by falsely alleging that while in office Biden had acted corruptly regarding Ukraine to protect his son. The hard drive data had been shared with the FBI and Republican operatives such as Trump advisor Steve Bannon before it became publicly known. In December 2019, under the authority of a subpoena issued by a Wilmington grand jury, the FBI seized the laptop from Mac Isaac.
PolitiFact wrote in June 2021 that, while "over time, there has been less doubt that the laptop did in fact belong to Hunter Biden", the laptop "was real in the sense that it exists, but it didn't prove much", as "[n]othing from the laptop has revealed illegal or unethical behavior by Joe Biden as vice president with regard to his son's tenure as a director for Burisma".
In November 2022, CBS News published a forensic analysis it commissioned, which examined a "clean" copy of the data obtained directly from the repair shop operator. That analysis concluded that the "clean" data, including over 120,000 emails, originated with Hunter Biden and had not been altered, contrasting that to other copies circulated by Republican operatives, which "could have been tampered with". The Washington Post reported that experts at their request had authenticated a number of emails, including one that was the subject of the New York Post reporting. The drive analyzed for The Washington Post lacked a clear chain of custody, and was considered "a mess" and "a disaster" from a forensic standpoint by the two analysts. It contains emails marked to and from Hunter Biden and other digital files relating to him.
Two forensic analysts who independently examined the data for The Washington Post authenticated 1,828 and 22,000 emails, respectively, of the almost 129,000 emails on the hard drive in 2022. Neither analyst could verify the vast majority of the data, nor could they find clear evidence of tampering but they note "key pieces of evidence useful in discovering tampering were not ava |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWIM%20Protocol | The Scalable Weakly Consistent Infection-style Process Group Membership (SWIM) Protocol is a group membership protocol based on "outsourced heartbeats" used in distributed systems, first introduced by Indranil Gupta in 2001. It is a hybrid algorithm which combines failure detection with group membership dissemination.
Protocol
The protocol has two components, the Failure Detector Component and the Dissemination Component.
The Failure Detector Component functions as follows:
Every T''' time units, each node () sends a ping to random other node () in its membership list.
If receives a response from , is decided to be healthy and N1 updates its "last heard from" timestamp for to be the current time.
If does not receive a response, contacts k other nodes on its list (), and requests that they ping .
If after T units of time: if no successful response is received, marks as failed.
The Dissemination Component functions as follows:
Upon detecting a failed node , sends a multicast message to the rest of the nodes in its membership list, with information about the failed node.
Voluntary requests for a node to enter/leave the group are also sent via multicast.
Properties
The protocol provides the following guarantees:
Strong Completeness: Full completeness is guaranteed (e.g. the crash-failure of any node in the group is eventually detected by all live nodes).
Detection Time: The expected value of detection time (from node failure to detection) is , where is the length of the protocol period, and is the fraction of non-faulty nodes in the group.
Extensions
The original SWIM paper lists the following extensions to make the protocol more robust:
Suspicion: Nodes that are unresponsive to ping messages are not initially marked as failed. Instead, they are marked as "suspicious"; nodes which discover a "suspicious" node still send a multicast to all other nodes including this mechanism. If a "suspicious" node responds to a ping before some time-out threshold, an "alive" message is sent via multicast to remove the "suspicious" label from the node.
Infection-Style Dissemination: Instead of propagating node failure information via multicast, protocol messages are piggybacked on the ping messages used to determine node liveness. This is equivalent to gossip dissemination.
Round-Robin Probe Target Selection''': Instead of randomly picking a node to probe during each protocol time step, the protocol is modified so that each node performs a round-robin selection of probe target. This bounds the worst-case detection time of the protocol, without degrading the average detection time.

Richard Y. Wang is the Founder and Executive Director of the Chief Data Officer and Information Quality (CDOIQ) Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Wang is widely acknowledged as the "Founder of Information Quality"—the scholar who made Information Quality an established field. For the past three decades, he advocated that the importance of information quality must be embraced at the highest level of organizations. He championed and led a movement to establish the position of Chief Data Officers in all organizations. His pioneering work culminated in a wide-scale adoption of the Chief Data Officer role worldwide. Notably, in 2019, the U.S. Congress enacted the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 into law, which statutorily mandated all federal agencies to establish and appoint a CDO for their agency.
Wang had served as a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management for almost a decade. Currently he is Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Also, he is a tenured University Professor of Information Quality and Director of the Institute for Chief Data Officers at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is an Honorary Professor at Xi’An Jiao Tong University, China. He received a Ph.D. in Information Technology from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1985.
Establishing the Information Quality Field
From the early days of his academic career, Wang published many books and research articles on information quality. His research on defining Information Quality is widely regarded as the theoretical foundation that facilitated the emergence of Information Quality as a field of study. More importantly, he brought together a community of researchers and practitioners centering on the vision that information quality is essential for organizational performance and prosperity. In 1996, Wang organized the premier International Conference on Information Quality, in which he has served as the general conference chair and currently serves as chairman of the board. Wang's books on information quality include Journey to Data Quality (MIT Press, 2006), Information Quality: Advances in Management Information Systems (M.E. Sharpe, 2005), Introduction to Information Quality (MITIQ Publications, 2005), Data Quality (Kluwer Academic, 2001), and Quality Information and Knowledge (Prentice Hall, 1999).
Also, Wang has been instrumental in the establishment of the Ph.D. and Master of Science in Information Quality degree program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the Stuart Madnick IQ Best Paper Award for the International Conference on Information Quality, the comprehensive IQ Ph.D. dissertations website, and the Donald Ballou & Harry Pazer IQ Ph.D. Dissertation Award.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeves%20Electronic%20Analog%20Computer | The Reeves Electronic Analog Computer (commonly shortened REAC) was a family of early analog computers produced in the United States by Reeves Instrument Corporation from the 1940s through the 1960s.
History
Origins
In the 1940s, Reeves Instrument Corporation began developing ideas for a digital computation machine. They hired mathematician Samuel Lubkin, of the original team who designed the UNIVAC, to lead the project. The original proposal was to build a machine called the REEVAC, which was to have been based on the design of the EDVAC machine, which Lubkin had also done design work on. For unknown reasons, Reeves decided to scrap this approach, and Lubkin left the company for a job with the National Bureau of Standards (the US government organization later renamed the National Institute of Standards and Technology).
Reeves then decided to move forward with an analogue computer instead. In 1946, the Office of Naval Research launched a project code named Project Cyclone at Reeves to develop a general purpose analogue computing machine to further Naval objectives — it is unclear if this was the cause of Reeves's change of direction or a consequence. This was the beginning of a 20-year partnership between Reeves and the Navy. For the entire 20-year duration of Project Cyclone, Reeves would continually furnish the Navy with the most recent REAC model.
Commercial production
In 1948, Reeves began putting the REAC machine into commercial production. The original price was USD $14,320 for the machine itself, but fully loaded with all the necessary peripherals it cost USD $37,000 (about USD $425,000 in 2021 dollars). By 1951, there were more than sixty REAC machines in use at universities, private (usually engineering) companies, and government and military institutions. Today the REAC is credited with proving that a general-purpose analog computer could be a viable commercial product.
Notable early adopters included the following:
Naval Air Missile Test Center (now the Pacific Missile Test Center)
United States Naval Research Laboratory
RAND Corporation
North American Aviation
Applied Physics Laboratory
University of Minnesota
Ames Research Center at NASA
Uses
REAC computers played a role in the development of many military projects, such as the Ryan X-13 Vertijet. A REAC was the first computer at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, and was instrumental in running simulations in development of the first anti-radiation missile. It also was used in the Aeronautical Computer Laboratory at Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster.
Hardware
The machine as it arrived from the manufacturer consisted of several cabinets with connecting cables, and was described as "essentially an Erector Set whose pieces are electronic or electro-mechanical parts."
The average runtime for single problem was about one minute.
Models
There were seven models produced during the life of the system:
REAC 100 (1947)
REAC 200 (1952)
REAC 300 (1953)
REAC 400 (1956)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoploclonia%20cuspidata | Hoploclonia cuspidata is a stick insect species native to the north of Borneo and is also called Brunei Hoploclonia stick insect.
Taxonomy
When Josef Redtenbacher described the species in 1906, both males and females were available to him. However, he only recognized that the female belongs to the genus Hoploclonia established by Carl Stål in 1875. This was until then monotypical. Although both males and females were known from the hitherto only representative of the genus, namely Hoploclonia gecko, Redtenbacher described the male of Hoploclonia cuspidata as Dares (Epidares) haematacanthus. The type material was long thought to be lost. It was rediscovered in 2000 by Oliver Zompro. One lectotype is deposited in the State Museum of Zoology, Dresden and another syntype in the Natural History Museum, Berlin. Philip Edward Bragg first transferred the species to the genus Epidares in 1998. After the type material was available, he synonymized the species with Hoploclonia cuspidata in 2001. The holotype of Hoploclonia cuspidata is a long female, which is deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, France.
As early as 1995 Bragg described two other species, namely Hoploclonia apiensis, which so far is only known from the female holotype and Hoploclonia abercrombiei. Both were synonymous with Hoploclonia cuspidata by Francis Seow-Choen in 2016. As early as 2018, a study proved that Hoploclonia abercrombiei is an independent and therefore valid species. Simultaneously with the synonymization, Seow-Choen described Hoploclonia cuspidata crockerensis, a further subspecies in addition to the nominotypical subspecies.
Description
The stick insects, wingless in both sexes, have spines on their bodies that are typical of representatives of this genus. In the long males, these are found in pairs on the head, the thorax and the anterior segments of the thorax. In adult males a dark, mostly black-brown basic color dominates. Only the areas around the coxae, as well as the distal ends of the femurs and the proximal ends of the tibae, i.e. the knee area, are yellow to orange in color and form a clear contrast to the basic color.
The females are long. They are usually lighter in color and significantly more variable in color. Their basic color can vary from light brown to reddish brown to dark brown. Only on the thorax do they have clear, very flat spines, which on the mesothorax form the triangle typical of Hoploclonia species. Overall, they are very robust from the habitus. The abdomen is plump in egg-laying females and approximately cylindrical in cross-section. The end of the abdomen forms a short ovipositor for laying the eggs in the ground.
Distribution
Hoploclonia cuspidata is native to the north of Borneo. Its main distribution area is Brunei, which is why the species with the common name is also called Brunei Hoploclonia stick insect. Further evidence is available for the Malay areas near Brunei. Animals have been found in the west |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American%20Story | American Story is an American anthology media franchise consisting of several television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk for the cable network FX and FX on Hulu. Each series follows a different genre of fiction, with each individual season conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a different set of characters and settings, and a story line with its own "beginning, middle, and end." Some plot elements of each season and series are loosely inspired by true events. Many actors appear in more than one season and series, often playing a new character.
Actors who have appeared in two or more instalments of the franchise include: Sarah Paulson; Cuba Gooding Jr.; Connie Britton; Darren Criss; Finn Wittrock; Jon Jon Briones; Billy Eichner; Matt Bomer, who directed an episode of American Crime Story; Kaia Gerber; Naomi Grossman; Chad James Buchanan; John Carroll Lynch; Dylan McDermott; Charles Melton; Billie Lourd; Jamie Brewer; Naomi Campbell who appears in the form of archive audio in American Crime Story; Celia Finkelstein; Blake Shields; John Lacy; Nico Greetham; Teddy Sears; Judith Light; Rebecca Dayan; Matt Lasky; Cameron Cowperthwaite; Spencer Neville; Denis O'Hare and Gabourey Sidibe. Cody Fern and Max Greenfield have appeared in all three installments.
The American Story franchise has received widespread critical acclaim, winning several Emmy Awards.
Background
Creators Murphy and Falchuk began working on American Horror Story before their Fox series Glee began production. Murphy wanted to do the opposite of what he had done previously and thus began his work on the series. He stated: "I went from Nip/Tuck to Glee, so it made sense that I wanted to do something challenging and dark. And I always had loved, as Brad had, the horror genre. So it just was a natural for me." Falchuk was intrigued by the idea of putting a different angle on the horror genre, stating that their main goal in creating the series was to scare viewers. "You want people to be a little bit off balance afterwards," he said.
In February 2011, FX officially announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, with both Murphy and Falchuk writing and Murphy directing. Dante Di Loreto was announced as executive producer. Production on the series began in April 2011. In July 2011, FX officially announced the project had been picked up to become a full series.
From the beginning, Murphy and Falchuk planned that each season of the series would tell a different story. After the first-season finale aired, Murphy spoke of his plans to change the cast and location for the second season. He did say, however, that some actors who starred in the first season would be returning. "The people that are coming back will be playing completely different characters, creatures, monsters, etc. [The Harmons'] stories are done. People who are coming back will be playing entirely new characters," he announced. In November 2012, FX |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe%20Building%20%28St.%20Louis%29 | The Globe Building is an Art Deco style office and data center building in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Before that it housed the St. Louis Globe-Democrat newspaper and was originally built for the Illinois Terminal Railroad. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Globe Building was originally designed as a freight and passenger terminal for the Illinois Terminal Railroad. The railroad commissioned the firm Moran, Russell, and Crowell, which designed many large buildings and landmarks in St. Louis. During World War II the building housed offices of the predecessor to the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), which referenced it as their US Aeronautical Chart Plant, St. Louis. The building would later go on to house geographic data and information firms, including geospatial intelligence offices, which complement the nearby National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Campus West (NCW). The construction of a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), which was novel for a private facility not already under federal contract, was publicly announced in May 2022 at which time it was also claimed that a waiting list of companies seeking placement in the Globe Building exceeds fifty. With the decline of railroads in the United States, in the 1950s the building was transitioned to hosting the fledgling daily newspaper, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. As newspapers also declined and St. Louis became a single major daily newspaper town in the 1980s, the structure was eventually turned into an office and data center building. The modern day Globe Building is adjacent to what became the Washington Avenue Historic District and is near the complex housing America's Center and The Dome at America's Center. Some elements from the building from the railroad and newspaper eras were salvaged for preservation by the National Building Arts Center.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LamaH | LamaH (Large-Sample Data for Hydrology and Environmental Sciences) is a cross-state initiative for unified data preparation and collection in the field of catchment hydrology. Hydrological datasets, for example, are an integral component for creating flood forecasting models.
Features
LamaH datasets always consist of a combination of meteorological time series (e.g., precipitation, temperature) and hydrologically relevant catchment attributes (e.g., elevation, slope, forest area, soil, bedrock) aggregated over the respective catchment as well as associated hydrological time series at the catchment outlet (discharge). By evaluating the large and heterogeneous sample (large-sample) of catchments, it is possible to gain insights into the hydrological cycle that would probably not be achievable with local and small-scale studies. The structure of the dataset allows an evaluation based on machine learning methods (deep learning). The accompanying paper explains not only the data preparation but also any limitations, uncertainties and possible applications.
Difference to CAMELS
The LamaH datasets are quite similar to the CAMELS datasets, but additionally feature:
Further basin delineations (based on intermediate catchments) and attributes (e.g. flow distance and altitude difference between two topologically adjacent discharge gauges), enabling the setup of a interconnected hydrological network
Attributes for classifying catchments and runoff gauges according to the degree and type of (anthropogenic) influence
Availability
LamaH datasets are available for the following regions:
Central Europe (Austria and its hydrological upstream areas in Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Slovakia, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Hungary) / 859 catchments
CAMELS datasets are available for (ranked by publication date):
Contiguous USA (exclusive Alaska and Hawaii) / 671 catchments
Chile / 516 catchments
Brazil / 897 catchments
Great Britain / 671 catchments
Australia / 222 catchments
Both the CAMELS and LamaH datasets are licensed with Creative Commons and are therefore available barrier-free for the public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI%3A%20When%20a%20Robot%20Writes%20a%20Play | AI: When a Robot Writes a Play (in Czech: AI: Když robot píše hru) is an experimental theatre play, where 90% of its script was automatically generated by artificial intelligence (the GPT-2 language model). The play is in Czech language, but an English version of the script also exists.
Creation
The play is the first result of the THEaiTRE research project, aiming to commemorate the centenary of the R.U.R. play by Karel Čapek by investigating to what extent artificial intelligence could be used to create theatre play scripts.
The script of the play was created using the THEaiTRobot tool, based on the GPT-2 language model.
First, the play dramaturge, David Košťák, described the initial setting of each scene in a few sentences, and wrote the first line for each character. Next, THEaiTRobot suggested a continuation of the script, which the dramaturge could use, reject, or use part of it and let the tool generate a new continuation. Another option was to manually insert another line or a scenic remark. The script was generated in English and was automatically translated to Czech by the state-of-the-art CUBBITT machine translation tool. The resulting script was then further post-edited by the dramaturge.
The resulting script was made freely available for non-commercial use both in English and in Czech, with marked manually inserted texts and manual edits. The analysis shows that 90% of the English script is automatically generated, with 10% manually written or manually post-edited. In the Czech script, a larger amount of edits were made, but the analysis claims that these additional edits are corrections of errors of the automated translation and stylistic corrections which do not change the meaning of the lines as represented by the English script, but rather bring the Czech script closer to the English one.
Characters
The play contains 9 characters. The Robot appears in all the scenes, while each of the other characters appears in only one scene.
Robot – The lead character, a male humanoid robot.
Master – An old man, the creator of the Robot.
Boy – A schoolboy.
Masseuse – A sex worker in a brothel.
Stranger – An engineer.
Man.
Psychologist.
Administrator – A female clerk at an employment agency.
Actress – A film actress and a model in a robot-like costume.
Plot
The play is composed of 8 scenes. It tells the story of a humanoid robot, who encounters 8 other characters and engages into various typically human situations and activities, related to death, love, sex, violence, etc. The individual scenes are not tightly linked, but there are some linking points, such as the central character of the robot or some repeated and developing themes, such as the robot's search for love.
The scenes often contain some absurd turns and it is often hard to find sense in them. It is therefore a very complicated piece interpretationally, requiring the director and the actors to invest a lot of effort and creativity in finding a meaningful interpre |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure%20Time%3A%20Fionna%20and%20Cake | Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is an American adult animated television series developed by Adam Muto, based on the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time, which was created by Pendleton Ward. Unlike Adventure Time, the show is made for a young adult audience. The third series in the franchise, it premiered via the streaming service Max on August 31, 2023.
The series focuses on the titular characters, Fionna and Cake, alternative versions of main characters Finn the Human and Jake the Dog from the original series who had previously appeared in their own titular episodes, along with the Ice King as his human form Simon Petrikov. The series is executive produced by Muto, who had served as showrunner for the latter half of Adventure Time and oversaw production of the Distant Lands specials, as well as Fred Seibert and Sam Register. Ten half-hour episodes have been confirmed, and were released with two episodes weekly until September 28.
Synopsis
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is a spin-off of Adventure Time, the latter of which follows the adventures of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog. This series follows Finn and Jake's gender-swapped complements, Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat. The series also stars Simon Petrikov, a character who for most of Adventure Time had been well known as the Ice King.
Fionna lives with her cat, Cake, in an alternate reality without magic, spending her days cycling through dead-end jobs; at night, she dreams of a magical world that appears to be forever unreachable. Simon, in the Land of Ooo, works from home, made into a living exhibit of a bygone era. Later, the trio travel throughout the multiverse, while also being chased by "a powerful new antagonist" who is "determined to track them down and erase them from existence".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic%20blockmodeling | Deterministic blockmodeling is an approach in blockmodeling that does not assume a probabilistic model, and instead relies on the exact or approximate algorithms, which are used to find blockmodel(s). This approach typically minimizes some inconsistency that can occur with the ideal block structure. Such analysis is focused on clustering (grouping) of the network (or adjacency matrix) that is obtained with minimizing an objective function, which measures discrepancy from the ideal block structure.
However, some indirect approaches (or methods between direct and indirect approaches, such as CONCOR) do not explicitly minimize inconsistencies or optimize some criterion function.
This approach was popularized in the 1970s, due to the presence of two computer packages (CONCOR and STRUCTURE) that were used to "find a permutation of the rows and columns in the adjacency matrix leading to an approximate block structure".
The opposite approach to deterministic blockmodeling is a stochastic blockmodeling approach.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists%20of%20Saturday%20Night%20Live%20episodes | Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a late-night sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels. It premiered on the NBC Television Network on October 11, 1975, under the title NBC's Saturday Night. The show often satirizes contemporary American popular culture and politics. Saturday Night Live features a two-tiered cast: the repertory members, also known as the "Not Ready for Prime Time Players," and newer cast members, known as "Featured Players." Each week, the show features a host, often a well-known celebrity, who delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. A musical guest is also invited to perform several sets (usually two, occasionally more). Every so often a host or musical guest fills both roles. With the exception of season 7 and several other rare cases, the show begins with a cold open that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"
Saturday Night Live is one of the longest-running network programs in American television history, with more than 900 episodes broadcast over five decades. A number of the show's sketches have been developed into feature films, including The Blues Brothers, Wayne's World, A Night at the Roxbury, Superstar, Coneheads, It's Pat, The Ladies Man and MacGruber.
Seasons 1 through 5 are available on DVD in Region1. Various Saturday Night Live sketches are available in several new media formats, including streaming on Hulu and Netflix. A number of sketches are available to view via the show's official YouTube channel, along with best-of compilations for sale through digital video retailers. As of October 1, 2020, the full catalogue of Saturday Night Live episodes is available on the streaming service Peacock, updated actively as new episodes release.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized%20blockmodeling%20of%20valued%20networks | Generalized blockmodeling of valued networks is an approach of the generalized blockmodeling, dealing with valued networks (e.g., non–binary).
While the generalized blockmodeling signifies a "formal and integrated approach for the study of the underlying functional anatomies of virtually any set of relational data", it is in principle used for binary networks. This is evident from the set of ideal blocks, which are used to interpret blockmodels, that are binary, based on the characteristic link patterns. Because of this, such templates are "not readily comparable with valued empirical blocks".
To allow generalized blockmodeling of valued directional (one–mode) networks (e.g. allowing the direct comparisons of empirical valued blocks with ideal binary blocks), a non–parametric approach is used. With this, "an optional parameter determines the prominence of valued ties as a minimum percentile deviation between observed and expected flows". Such two–sided application of parameter then introduces "the possibility of non–determined ties, i.e. valued relations that are deemed neither prominent (1) nor non–prominent (0)." Resulted occurrences of links then motivate the modification of the calculation of inconsistencies between empirical and ideal blocks. At the same time, such links also give a possibility to measure the interpretational certainty, which is specific to each ideal block. Such maximum two–sided deviation threshold, holding the aggregate uncertainty score at zero or near–zero levels, is then proposed as "a measure of interpretational certainty for valued blockmodels, in effect transforming the optional parameter into an outgoing state".
Problem with blockmodeling is the standard set of ideal block, as they are all specified using binary link (tie) patters; this results in "a non–trivial exercise to match and count inconsistencies between such ideal binary ties and empirical valued ties". One approach to solve this is by using dichotomization to transform the network into a binary version. The other two approaches were first proposed by Aleš Žiberna in 2007 by introducing valued (generalized) blockmodeling and also homogeneity blockmodeling. The basic idea of the latter is "that the inconsistency of an empirical block with its ideal block can be measured by within block variability of appropriate values". The newly–formed ideal blocks, which are appropriate for blockmodeling of valued networks, are then presented together with the definitions of their block inconsistencies. Two other approaches were later suggested by Carl Nordlund in 2019: deviational approach and correlation-based generalized approach. Both Nordlund's approaches are based on the idea, that valued networks can be compared with the ideal block without values.
With this approach, more information is retained for analysis, which also means, that there are fewer partitions having identical values of the criterion function. This means, that the generalized blockmodeling of |

SerenityOS aims to be a modern Unix-like operating system, with a look and feel that emulates 1990s operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Incorporating third-party code into the system is discouraged. The web browser, for instance, does not use a pre-existing web engine such as WebKit, instead using its own known as LibWeb. There is a collection of ported software, such as GCC, Git and Doom, with varying levels of functionality.
Development does not adhere to a release cycle; as such, there are no releases. Additionally, no binary distributions are provided and prospects are expected to build the system from source. The system is written in what the authors call "Serenity C++", a variant of C++ that lacks exceptions and features its own standard library.
The relative popularity of SerenityOS compared to other hobbyist systems is in part due to the modest success of Kling's YouTube channel, where he uploads videos of himself developing parts of the system alongside demos and monthly progress updates.
Reception
Jim Salter of Ars Technica regarded the use of the ext2 file system as his least favorite feature of the operating system. Compared to TempleOS (another operating system well known in the hobbyist community), he considered it more accessible. For less technical users that are looking for a mid–to–late 90s reminiscent visual style, the Xfce Chicago95 theme or the Redmond Project has been recommended instead.

It featured the 68K CPU, memory, I/O devices and built-in educational and training software.
Hardware
CPU: 4-MHz Motorola 68000
RAM: 32KB
ROM: 16KB
9600 baud serial port for dumb terminal connection
9600 baud serial port for host computer connection
Parallel port for communication and printer connection
Audio output for tape storage
24-bit programmable interval timer
Wire-wrap area for custom circuitry
Required power voltages: -12V, +5V and +12V
Software
The board has built-in 16K ROM memory containing assembly/disassembly/stepping/monitoring software called TUTOR. The software was operated using command-line interface over a serial link, and provided many commands useful in machine code debugging. Memory contents (including programs) could be dumped via a serial link to a file on the host computer. The file was transferred in Motorola's S-Record format. Similarly, files from host could be uploaded to the board's arbitrary user memory area.
Price
The price of the Motorola ECB at launch was which was relatively inexpensive for a computer with an advanced for that time 16/32-bit CPU.
Use
According to the manual, for basic use only a dumb terminal and power source are required. However, it seems that in colleges the board was predominantly used in connection with a time-sharing host computer to teach assembly language programming and other computer science subjects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertabastic%20survival%20models | Hypertabastic survival models were introduced in 2007 by Mohammad Tabatabai, Zoran Bursac, David Williams, and Karan Singh. This distribution can be used to analyze time-to-event data in biomedical and public health areas and normally called survival analysis. In engineering, the time-to event analysis is referred to as reliability theory and in business and economics it is called duration analysis. Other fields may use different names for the same analysis. These survival models are applicable in many fields such as biomedical, behavioral science, social science, statistics, medicine, bioinformatics, medicalinformatics, data science especially in machine learning, computational biology, business economics, engineering, and commercial entities. They not only look at the time to event, but whether or not the event occurred. These time-to-event models can be applied in a variety of applications for instance, time after diagnosis of cancer until death, comparison of individualized treatment with standard care in cancer research, time until an individual defaults on loans, relapsed time for drug and smoking cessation, time until property sold after being put on the market, time until an individual upgrades to a new phone, time until job relocation, time until bones receive microscopic fractures when undergoing different stress levels, time from marriage until divorce, time until infection due to catheter, and time from bridge completion until first repair.
Hypertabastic cumulative distribution function
The Hypertabastic cumulative distribution function or simply the hypertabastic distribution function is defined as the probability that random variable will take a value less than or equal to . The hypertabastic distribution function is defined as

The Hypertabastic hazard function has the flexibility to model varieties of hazard shapes. These different hazard shapes could apply to different mechanisms for which the hazard functions may not agree with conventional models. The following is a list of possible shapes for the Hypertabastic hazard function:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneity%20blockmodeling | In mathematics applied to analysis of social structures, homogeneity blockmodeling is an approach in blockmodeling, which is best suited for a preliminary or main approach to valued networks, when a prior knowledge about these networks is not available. This is due to the fact, that homogeneity blockmodeling emphasizes the similarity of link (tie) strengths within the blocks over the pattern of links. In this approach, tie (link) values (or statistical data computed on them) are assumed to be equal (homogenous) within blocks.
This approach to the generalized blockmodeling of valued networks was first proposed by Aleš Žiberna in 2007 with the basic idea, "that the inconsistency of an empirical block with its ideal block can be measured by within block variability of appropriate values". The newly–formed ideal blocks, which are appropriate for blockmodeling of valued networks, are then presented together with the definitions of their block inconsistencies. Similar approach to the homogeneity blockmodeling, dealing with direct approach for structural equivalence, was previously suggested by Stephen P. Borgatti and Martin G. Everett (1992).

Blockmodeling |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockmodeling%20linked%20networks | Blockmodeling linked networks is an approach in blockmodeling in analysing the linked networks. Such approach is based on the generalized multilevel blockmodeling approach. The main objective of this approach is to achieve clustering of the nodes from all involved sets, while at the same time using all available information. At the same time, all one-mode and two-node networks, that are connected, are blockmodeled, which results in obtaining only one clustering, using nodes from each sets. Each cluster ideally contains only nodes from one set, which also allows the modeling of the links among clusters from different sets (through two-mode networks). This approach was introduced by Aleš Žiberna in 2014.
Blockmodeling linked networks can be done using:
separate analysis: blockmodeling each level separately;
conversion approach: converting all one-mode networks to the same level and joining with two-mode networks;
a true multilevel approach: one-mode and two-mode networks are blockmodeled at the same time, resulting in one clustering for nodes from each level.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked%20network | Linked network in statistics is a network, which is composed of one-node networks, where the nodes from different one-node networks are connected through two-node networks. This means, that "linked networks are collections of networks defined on different sets of nodes", where all sets of nodes must be connected to each other.
Different examples of linked networks are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logicraft | Logicraft was an American software company. The company's products enabled Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) minicomputers to run PC software (such as Lotus-123).
Overview
Augmenting a DEC VAX or PDP-11 multi-user minicomputer with a Logicraft MS-DOS "card" that itself is multi-user allowed a person sitting at a simple terminal to run PC applications. This provided "controlled access to PC resources without putting both a PC and a VT terminal on every desk top." As of mid-1988, Logicraft and another firm, Virtual Microsystems Inc (VMI) were "the only commercially available products that let VAX/VMS systems run standard off-the-shelf PC applications from terminals and VAXstations."
Logicraft's Omniware was a combined hardware/software offering. Some users went beyond running PC applications and used serially shared CD-ROM access.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badri%20313%20Battalion | The Badri 313 Battalion () is a unit of the Taliban. The unit's name is closely associated with the Haqqani network, which has reportedly provided them with training. Elite Taliban units like the Badri 313 have been reported as being "critical in the taking over of Afghanistan". In July and August 2021, the Taliban released online video on the Badri 313 Battalion in various local languages, English and Arabic.
The Badri 313 Brigade is headquartered at Salahaddin Ayyubi Military Operations Academy.
Name
This unit is named after the Prophet Muhammad's army of 313 men at the Battle of Badr, an early Muslim military victory against the Quraysh which took place on March 13, 624.
History
The Haqqani network holds an important position within the Taliban's military as well as high command. The Haqqanis have traditionally called their elite forces the "Badri Army", and emphasized that these troops are ideologically closely aligned with al-Qaeda. Al Qaeda's elite bodyguard and shock troops in the battlefield were known since the mid-2000s as the 313 Brigade. Units termed "Army of Badr" first carried out suicide attacks and raids on positions associated with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and its allies in 2011.
The Badri 313 Battalion first emerged in the late stages of the Taliban insurgency, notably taking part in an attack on British security company G4S's Kabul compound in November 2018. After the 2021 Fall of Kabul, the Taliban reported that the Badri 313 Battalion were securing the Arg (the Afghani Presidential Palace) and other important sites in the city. The Badri 313 Battalion were also reported as providing "security" at the Kabul Airport.
The Badri 313 Battalion garnered worldwide attention after the Taliban victory in Afghanistan by mocking the US military by copying the Iwo Jima flag raising.
Equipment
The battalion is equipped with camouflage uniforms, combat helmets, body armor, night-vision goggles, M4 carbines, sidearms and Humvees of US origin. It is unclear how and where they acquired the equipment, either by corruption, seizure from surrendered Afghan National Army troops or simply by picking up those left behind by Afghan National Army .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus%20%28robot%29 | Optimus, also known as Tesla Bot, is a conceptual general-purpose robotic humanoid under development by Tesla, Inc. It was announced at the company's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day event on August 19, 2021. CEO Elon Musk claimed during the event that Tesla would likely build a prototype by 2022. Musk is on record having said that he thinks Optimus "has the potential to be more significant than [Tesla's] vehicle business over time."
History
On April 7, 2022, a display for the product was featured at the Tesla Giga Texas manufacturing facility during the Cyber Rodeo event. Musk said that he hopes to have the robot production-ready by 2023 and claimed Optimus will eventually be able to do "anything that humans don’t want to do."
In June 2022, Musk announced the first prototype that Tesla hopes to unveil later in 2022 at the second AI Day event will not look anything like the display model at Cyber Rodeo.
In September 2022, semi-functional prototypes of Optimus were displayed at Tesla's second AI Day. One prototype was able to walk about the stage and another, sleeker version could move its arms.
In September 2023, Tesla released a video demonstrating Optimus doing new activities including sorting colored blocks by color, its ability to locate its limbs in space and demonstrating its flexibility by maintaining a yoga pose.
Specifications
Tesla Bot is planned to measure tall and weigh . According to the presentation made during the first AI Day event, a Tesla Bot will be "controlled by the same AI system Tesla is developing for the advanced driver-assistance system used in its cars" and have a carrying capacity of . Proposed tasks for the product are ones that are "dangerous, repetitive and boring", such as providing manufacturing assistance.
Reception
Initial reactions
Soon after the first AI Day event, many publications reacted with skepticism about the proposed product. Bloomberg News claimed that such a product constituted "mission creep" and stood outside "the company’s clean-energy initiatives." The Washington Post argued that "Tesla has a history of exaggerating timelines and overpromising at its product unveilings and investor presentations." The Verge similarly noted that "Tesla’s history is littered with fanciful ideas that never panned out... it’s anyone’s guess as to whether a working Tesla Bot will ever see the light of day" and, in an editorial, described the Tesla Bot reveal as a "bizarre and brilliant bit of tomfoolery".
The progress made with the prototypes shown at the second AI Day was praised by some commentators. Other commentators stipulated that all that was shown in these latest presentations had already been accomplished by other robotics programs, and that there appears to be little to suggest Tesla could "outpace other companies working on similar things."
Expert opinions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla%20Dojo | Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer designed and built by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition. It will be used for training Tesla's machine learning models to improve its Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assistance system. According to Tesla, it went into production in July 2023.
Dojo's goal is to efficiently process millions of terabytes of video data captured from real-life driving situations from Tesla's 4+ million cars. This goal led to a considerably different architecture than conventional supercomputer designs.
History
Tesla operates several massively parallel computing clusters for developing its Autopilot advanced driver assistance system. Its primary unnamed cluster using 5,760 Nvidia A100 graphics processing units (GPUs) was touted by Andrej Karpathy in 2021 at the fourth International Joint Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CCVPR 2021) to be "roughly the number five supercomputer in the world" at approximately 81.6 petaflops, based on scaling the performance of the Nvidia Selene supercomputer, which uses similar components. However, the performance of the primary Tesla GPU cluster has been disputed, as it was not clear if this was measured using single-precision or double-precision floating point numbers (FP32 or FP64). Tesla also operates a second 4,032 GPU cluster for training and a third 1,752 GPU cluster for automatic labeling of objects.
The primary unnamed Tesla GPU cluster has been used for processing one million video clips, each ten seconds long, taken from Tesla Autopilot cameras operating in Tesla cars in the real world, running at 36 frames per second. Collectively, these video clips contained six billion object labels, with depth and velocity data; the total size of the data set was 1.5 petabytes. This data set was used for training a neural network intended to help Autopilot computers in Tesla cars understand roads. By August 2022, Tesla had upgraded the primary GPU cluster to 7,360 GPUs.
Dojo was first mentioned by Musk in April 2019 during Tesla's "Autonomy Investor Day". In August 2020, Musk stated it was "about a year away" due to power and thermal issues.
Dojo was officially announced at Tesla's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day on August 19, 2021. Tesla revealed details of the D1 chip and its plans for "Project Dojo", a datacenter that would house 3,000 D1 chips; the first "Training Tile" had been completed and delivered the week before. In October 2021, Tesla released a "Dojo Technology" whitepaper describing the Configurable Float8 (CFloat8) and Configurable Float16 (CFloat16) floating point formats and arithmetic operations as an extension of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 754.
At the follow-up AI Day in September 2022, Tesla announced it had built several System Trays and one Cabinet. During a test, the company stated that Project Dojo drew 2.3 megawatts (MW) of power before tripping a local San Jose, California power substat |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU%20Cloud%20Code%20of%20Conduct | The EU Cloud Code of Conduct (abbr. "EU Cloud CoC" also known by its extended title "EU Data Protection Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers") is a transnational Code of Conduct pursuant Article 40 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The code defines clear requirements for cloud service providers (CSPs) to implement Article 28 GDPR and all its related articles, which covers the processing activities of every type of personal data.
Encompassing all cloud service layers (XaaS, which is including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), the code allows cloud service providers to demonstrate GDPR compliance in their role as processors, which is overseen by an accredited monitoring body, as required by Article 41 GDPR.
History
The work on the code started in 2012 when former vice president of the European Commission, Neelie Kroes, launched the European Cloud Strategy. In that context, a dedicated working group was created with the task to draft a cloud code of conduct under the Data Protection Directive.
One of the primary goals of drafting such code was to increase trust and amplify the adoption of cloud computing across the European Union. The first draft produced by the working group was submitted to its first assessment in January 2015, which was then performed by the Article 29 Working Party.
With the introduction of the GDPR, the code had to be adapted accordingly and by 2017, the European Commission fully handed over the project to the industry.
Still in 2017, six companies coming from that working group (Alibaba Cloud, Fabasoft, IBM, Oracle, Salesforce and SAP) founded the EU Cloud CoC General Assembly and assigned SCOPE Europe as its monitoring body and secretariat.
After several exchanges with supervisory authorities and related revisions, the final version of the EU Cloud CoC was submitted to the Belgian Data Protection Authority for approval in 2019. According to the timestamps of the code versions published on the initiative's website, the code evolved further after submission and until its approval in May 2021. Such continued development of codes of conduct is expected, following the European Data Protection Board's Guidelines 1/2019 on codes of conduct and monitoring bodies under Regulation 2016/679.
The code has been approved by the Belgian Data Protection Authority as of May 20, 2021, following a positive opinion issued by the European Data Protection Board.
Scope and structure of the code
The EU Cloud CoC allows CSPs to prove and demonstrate compliance within the scope of Article 28 GDPR and all its related Articles. Therefore, the EU Cloud CoC comprehends CSPs data protection obligations when processing any kind of personal data and its requirements are applicable to all cloud offerings (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), which is also known as XaaS.
There are five sections that together compose the core structure of the code, namely, Scope, Data Protection, Security Requirements, Monitoring and Compliance and Internal Governan |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yidiresi%20Aishan | Yidiresi Aishan (, ) is a Uyghur activist and computer engineer. He had lived in Turkey since 2012, having residency papers and working as a web designer on a Uyghur diaspora online newspaper. Aishan also assisted other activists collecting testimonies and of abuse against Uyghurs in the Chinese Xinjiang autonomous region. After repeated arrests in Turkey, Aishan flew from Istanbul to Casablanca, Morocco, on 19 July.
Upon his arrival at Mohammed V International Airport, Moroccan authorities arrested Aishan in response to an Interpol red notice issued at China's request. Activists said that the arrest was politically driven as part of a broader Chinese campaign to persecute perceived dissidents abroad. The non-governmental organization Safeguard Defenders, asked the Moroccan ambassadors in Washington and Paris and Brussels not to extradite him. Human rights organizations urged Morocco not to extradite Aishan to China; Amnesty International declared that Aishan faced "arbitrary detention and torture" if he was forcibly returned to China, and Joanne Mariner, its Crisis Response Program director, said in a statement that his deportation "would violate international law". The World Uyghur Congress also demanded Moroccan authorities to halt any deportation procedures.
In August 2021, Interpol suspended Aishan's red notice. Its General Secretariat said that "Given that new information has been brought to the attention of the General Secretariat, the red notice previously issued for Yidiresi Aishan has been suspended while a new review is undertaken."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea%20Destongue | Andrea Carolina del Valle Destongue Quiróz (born September 8, 1986) is a Venezuelan model, computer engineer and beauty pageant titleholder who was selected as Miss Supranational Venezuela 2011. Destongue represented Venezuela in the Miss Supranational 2011 competition.
Life and career
Early life
Andrea was born in Barquisimeto, Lara. Her older sister, Tania Destongue, represented Yaracuy state in Miss Venezuela 2003, without any success. In addition to that, Destongue obtained a degree in Computer Engineering.
Pageantry
Before being appointed, Andrea participated in the Señorita Centroccidental 2011 contest, held on June 4, 2011, in Barquisimeto, in order to represent Lara state in Miss Venezuela that year.
At the end of the event, Destongue obtained the position of 1st finalist with a view to participating in Miss Venezuela 2011. However, she did not manage to be called as an official candidate.
The winner of this contest was Carla Rodrigues, who would later represent Portugal in the Miss Universe 2018 pageant, being the third Venezuelan to represent a foreign country in said contest.
Miss Supranational Venezuela 2011
After that, Andrea was selected as Miss Supranational Venezuela. At first, Ángela Ruiz, the first finalist of Miss Venezuela 2010, would be the one to represent the country in the international contest, but she was finally replaced by Destongue.
Miss Supranational 2011
She represented Venezuela in the Miss Supranational 2011 pageant, which was held on August 26, 2011 at the Strzelecki Park Amphitheater, in Plock, Poland. At the end of the event, Destongue was unable to qualify within the group of 20 semi-finalists.
