https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug%20Madory | Doug Madory is an American Internet routing infrastructure expert, who specializes in analyzing Internet Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing data to diagnose Internet routing disruptions, such as those caused by communications fiber cable cuts, routing equipment failures, and governmental censorship. His academic background is in computer engineering, and he was a signals specialist in the U.S. Air Force, before arriving at his present specialty, which has occupied his professional career.
Education
Madory received a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the University of Virginia in 1999. He received a master's degree in computer engineering from Dartmouth College in 2006.
Career
Madory joined Internet intelligence and technical analysis firm Renesys in 2009. Renesys was sold to DynDNS in May 2014, which in turn was sold to Oracle in April 2017. Madory remained in the same Director of Internet Analysis position throughout each of these transitions, before leaving Oracle to join Kentik in November 2020, in much the same role.
Discoveries
Madory is best known for the discoveries that are the product of his Internet routing analysis: sometimes of interesting new phenomena on the Internet and sometimes of malfeasance online.
ALBA-1 cable activation
In 2013, Madory observed that Internet connection speeds in Cuba had suddenly improved. His investigation revealed that the ALBA-1 undersea fiber cable, which had been run from Venezuela to Cuba by the Venezuelan government in 2010 and 2011, had been activated following an unexplained dormancy of two years. This cable, linking the Cuban domestic network to the Internet via Telefonica, was Cuba's first non-satellite international connection, and was a major milestone in Cuba's liberalization. Uncharacteristically, the Cuban state organ Granma issued a confirmation two days later.
National Internet shutdowns to prevent exam cheating
Madory observed daily nationwide Internet shutdowns in Iraq for three hours each morning for several consecutive days, on the same dates in 2014 and 2015, and discovered that the government had mandated the shutdowns to coincide with gradeschool final examinations, in order to hamper test cheating. He has subsequently observed the same events in Syria.
BackConnect IP address and BGP route hijacking
In 2016, Madory collaborated with cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs in an investigation of the Mirai botnet and DDoS attacks. In the course of that investigation, they discovered that DDoS mitigation firm BackConnect was engaging in "hack back" cyber-attacks against alleged DDoS perpetrators, engaging in the BGP hijacking of IP prefixes and routes, specifically those of vDOS, an Israeli "booter" DDoS-for-hire service hosted by Cloudflare. In the wake of publication, both Krebs and Madory's employer Dyn suffered retaliatory DDoS attacks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway%20node | A railway node is a location in a railway network where various routes intersect due to the presence of infrastructure or operational features. These features can range from simple junctions or crossings of rail routes, to stations, all the way to large nodes that span many switches and operational links. These links can also include connections to other modes of transport such as road, sea, or air. The function of the node is to maintain the flow of traffic by routing from the various connecting routes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal%20Kombat%20Mobile | Mortal Kombat Mobile is a 2015 fighting game released for smartphones and tablet computers by NetherRealm Studios. A part of the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games, it came out at the same time as the standard Mortal Kombat X release and features similar mechanics and graphics. The game has had a mixed reception among critics.
Development
On March 2, 2015, NetherRealm Studios announced that their mobile division would release an Android and iOS version of Mortal Kombat X in April 2015. The mobile game is described as a "free-to-play fighting/card-battler hybrid" and players would be able to unlock content in the console version of the game by playing the mobile version (and vice versa). The iOS version was released worldwide on April 7, 2015, while the Android version was soft launched on April 21, 2015, in select Asian countries, before a global release.
With the 1.11 update version of the mobile game released on December 6, 2016, Freddy Krueger who appeared as a downloadable character in Mortal Kombat (2011) was added as a mobile-exclusive character using his signature moves and X-Ray attack from the previous game. On the update 1.13, Baraka and Jade were also added in the game as mobile exclusives, using their X-Rays from the console release. Version 1.14 from September 2017 included Takeda, as well as the most recent addition to the ninja cast, Tremor. By October 4, another update was released, featuring Goro and Shao Kahn, followed by a February 2018 update that introduced Bo' Rai Cho and Kintaro, and an October 2018 update introduced console downloadable character Leatherface. In February 2019, the game was renamed Mortal Kombat Mobile with its 2.0 update with a vast overhaul of new features for Mortal Kombat 11. Furthermore, the 2.0 update upgraded its graphics engine from Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4.
Reception
Critical response
At Metacritic, the iOS edition of the game is scored a 66 out of 100, with nine professional reviews, which the site characterizes as "mixed or average".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector%20overlay | Vector overlay is an operation (or class of operations) in a geographic information system (GIS) for integrating two or more vector spatial data sets. Terms such as polygon overlay, map overlay, and topological overlay are often used synonymously, although they are not identical in the range of operations they include. Overlay has been one of the core elements of spatial analysis in GIS since its early development. Some overlay operations, especially Intersect and Union, are implemented in all GIS software and are used in a wide variety of analytical applications, while others are less common.
Overlay is based on the fundamental principle of geography known as areal integration, in which different topics (say, climate, topography, and agriculture) can be directly compared based on a common location. It is also based on the mathematics of set theory and point-set topology.
The basic approach of a vector overlay operation is to take in two or more layers composed of vector shapes, and output a layer consisting of new shapes created from the topological relationships discovered between the input shapes. A range of specific operators allows for different types of input, and different choices in what to include in the output.
History
Prior to the advent of GIS, the overlay principle had developed as a method of literally superimposing different thematic maps (typically an isarithmic map or a chorochromatic map) drawn on transparent film (e.g., cellulose acetate) to see the interactions and find locations with specific combinations of characteristics. The technique was largely developed by landscape architects. Warren Manning appears to have used this approach to compare aspects of Billerica, Massachusetts, although his published accounts only reproduce the maps without explaining the technique. Jacqueline Tyrwhitt published instructions for the technique in an English textbook in 1950, including:
Ian McHarg was perhaps most responsible for widely publicizing this approach to planning in Design with Nature (1969), in which he gave several examples of projects on which he had consulted, such as transportation planning and land conservation.
The first true GIS, the Canada Geographic Information System (CGIS), developed during the 1960s and completed in 1971, was based on a rudimentary vector data model, and one of the earliest functions was polygon overlay. Another early vector GIS, the Polygon Information Overlay System (PIOS), developed by ESRI for San Diego County, California in 1971, also supported polygon overlay. It used the Point in polygon algorithm to find intersections quickly. Unfortunately, the results of overlay in these early systems was often prone to error.
Carl Steinitz, a landscape architect, helped found the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis, in part to develop GIS as a digital tool to implement McHarg's methods. In 1975, Thomas Peucker and Nicholas Chrisman of the Harvard Lab introduced the |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero%20Zap | Zero Zap is a video game programmed by Herb Schmitz for the TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A home computers and published by Milton Bradley Company in 1979. It is part of the Milton Bradley Gamevision series, which consists of seven cartridges: Connect Four, Yahtzee, Hangman, Zero Zap, Card Sharp, Stratego, and the Gamevision Demonstration Cartridge. These seven cartridges were the launch titles for the TI-99/4 in 1979. This would mark the first third party to actually release games for the TI-99/4 system. Milton Bradley was only planning on producing these cartridges for a short time period (about one year) before passing production over to Texas Instruments.
Reception
Zero Zap is included in the 1984 book, The Best Texas Instruments Software: "Zero Zap is colorful, fast-paced, and has excellent sound."
In a retrospective look at the game, Issue 1 of Classic Gamer Magazine wrote, "Moving on, we came across another lame Video-Pinball game. Zero Zap was for the TI-99/4A home computer.... Real pinball games, even the video-pinballs of the world are games of skill. Zero Zap is pure luck and utter garbage."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit%20286 | The Rabbit 286 is a portable computer manufactured by Chicony Electronics starting in 1988. The computer featured an Intel 80286 clocked at 12 MHz and was available in three models, the most expensive having a 20-MB hard disk drive. The Rabbit 286, which was Chicony's first computer system, was released worldwide in April 1988. Chicony sold a bare-bones version of the computer without motherboard, which saw widespread use among systems integrators and original equipment manufacturers.
Specifications
The Rabbit 286 is a portable computer measuring . The unit weighs between , depending on the floppy and hard drive configuration chosen. Its built-in liquid-crystal display measures 9.5 in wide by 6 in tall, or 11 in diagonally. The super-twisted nematic display panel is monochrome, backlit, and has a pixel resolution of 640 by 400. The display housing can be positioned up and tilted for a more comfortable viewing angle. Additionally an external monitor can be hooked up to the computer through the display adapter; the internal display then acts as a double for the user, or it can be shut off by way of a switch on the rear of the computer. External displays supported with the built-in display adapter include MDA, CGA, and Hercules.
For ease of typing, the built-in keyboard has clicky mechanical key switches. The keyboard sports 102 keys—101 from the standard IBM Enhanced Keyboard layout plus an additional "Turbo" key that allows the one-wait-state Intel 80286 processor to be switched between 6 MHz and 12 MHz. The Rabbit 286 has a socket for a 80287 math co-processor, as well as a socket for a real-time clock battery. The Rabbit 286 has two RS-232 serial and a parallel–printer port and offers two open, full-size, 16-bit ISA expansion slots.
The Rabbit 286 was offered in three models. The Model I provided only one 3.5-in, 1.44-MB floppy disk drive and no hard disk. The Model II provided two 3.5-in, 1.44-MB floppy drives, still with no hard disk. The Model 20 provided one 3.5-in, 1.44-MB floppy drive and one 20-MB hard drive (3.5 inches in diameter). All three models included 1 MB of RAM stock, expandable to 4 MB. An external 5.25-in floppy drive—connecting to the Rabbit by way of a 25-pin port—was optional, as was a carrying case with shoulder strap.
Development and release
The Rabbit 286 was the first computer system manufactured by Chicony Electronics, a Taiwanese electronics company primarily known for their keyboards. The Rabbit, which was modeled after the Portable 386 by Compaq, was targeted to businesses and schools.
Tenative Class A emissions approval was approved by the Federal Communications Commission in early 1988, allowing the Rabbit 286 to be sold only to corporate customers within the United States on its worldwide release in April 1988. These corporate customers were required to purchase a minimum of three units. Class B approval was scheduled to be approved in May, allowing it to be sold for home use in America that month; the Rabb |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%20Iranian%20fuel%20cyberattack | The Iranian fuel 2021 cyberstrike was an attack on the Iranian fuel system, government-issued cards used for buying subsidized fuel, and digital road billboards. The attack took place on 26 October 2021. The government announced that people had to buy gas without their ration card. According to the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, the attacks were similar to the attack on the Iranian rail road transit system in July. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stated, "this cyberattack is neither the first time nor will it be the last."
Network infrastructure is a semi-isolated system not connected to the Internet but instead uses the National Internet (National Information Network).
Gholamreza Jalali, the head of Iranian civil defense, accused the United States and Israel of being behind the attack in an interview with state TV.
Scale and Details
Iran's 4300 gas stations were unable to process payments. Initially, the Ministry of Petroleum blamed a technical error, though it was later revealed to be a cyberattack. Users trying to purchase fuel at affected gas stations received a display reading "cyberattack 64411" which is associated with a hotline to the Ayatollah's office which responds to questions about Islamic law, though a possible connection was not commented on by official Iranian agencies. Cybersecurity industry firms noted the similarity to a 2020 rail attack in which a similar message was displayed, prompting speculation of a possible connection between the two attacks. The previous attack was attributed by security researchers at Check Point to the hacking group INDRA, which claims to be an anti-government partisan resistance group.
Digital billboards in Iranian cities were seen displaying messages such as "Khameini! Where is our fuel?" as news about the attack spread. A group called Predatory Sparrow claimed credit for the attack along with a previous cyberattacks against Iranian rail assets earlier in 2021, although Iranian officials simply attributed it to an unnamed state actor.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2020–21 television season.
Weekend schedules are not included as none of the major networks uniformly offer any network late night programming on Friday and Saturday overnights year-round; NBC, ABC and CBS only air overnight programming on weekdays (although NBC does offer its affiliates the option of carrying same-day rebroadcasts of NBC News-produced programs Sunday–Friday, and LXTV-produced lifestyle programs on Friday and Saturday overnights; see notes below).
PBS is not included at all, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. (Member stations may additionally opt to utilize the PBS Satellite Service to fill overnight airtime.) Fox, The CW and MyNetworkTV are not included because neither network/programming service offers overnight programs of any kind, nor is Ion Television since the network's late-night schedule consists of syndicated drama reruns and paid programming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro%20Bowl | Retro Bowl is an old-school styled American football video game developed by New Star Games for the iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch operating systems. A browser version is also officially available on the websites Poki and Kongregate. The game was released in January 2019 and due to JefeZhai, HostileBeast, and RetroSportRadio, it massively increased in popularity in late 2020. A version for the Nintendo Switch released on February 10, 2022.
Retro Bowl was heavily influenced by the Tecmo Bowl series. Retro Bowl was the number-one-downloaded-app on Apple's App Store in late 2021. After the success of Retro Bowl, the developers released the soccer game Retro Goal in June 2021. Retro Bowl uses simple mechanics which have been praised by players and critics alike.
Gameplay
Retro Bowl emulates the gameplay of American football and was heavily influenced by the Tecmo Bowl series. In Retro Bowl, the player controls the team's offense while also acting as the team's general manager. Even though the player can draft defensive players or get defensive players from free agency, the defense is not playable, and is simulated by the game. The goal of the game is for the player to manage their team to the Retro Bowl championship game. The game also includes aspects of managing an American football team such as trading and cutting players, signing free agents, maintaining morale, drafting players, talking to the press, and more. There is also, for $1 only, an "unlimited version" which gives access to editing any team's uniforms, logos, names and end zones, weather, and more. The player can also buy Retro Bowl's currency called coaching credits, which can also be earned by game play and decisions outside of the game. All teams are based on the NFL teams in real life, but since EA still has the exclusive NFL license to the actual teams and players, Retro Bowl makes a similar jersey to the team, and puts the city's name instead of the team's name to make up for the lack of NFL license. (For example, Philadelphia instead of the Philadelphia Eagles.)
In April 2022, an update was released that introduced the ability to return kickoffs.
In October 2022, another update to the game was released where it was made possible to simulate games and be able to change avatars for players and staff with unlimited version for $1.
In February 2023, another update to the game was released where Retro Bowl added a new mode called "Exhibition Mode" to allow players to pick 2 of any of the 32 NFL teams and play a game whether against the CPU or with a friend.
In June 2023, Retro Bowl+ was released on Apple Arcade as the base game with the unlimited version at no extra cost.
In September 2023, Retro Bowl College released, a college football spin-off game. Gameplay mechanics remained similar to its predecessor, however, changes were made to team management to accommodate the team building of college football, such as players graduating to leave for the draft and having a scholar |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias%20Scheffler | Matthias Scheffler (born June 25, 1951, in Berlin) is a German theoretical physicist whose research focuses on condensed matter theory, materials science, and artificial intelligence. He is particularly known for his contributions to density-functional theory and many-electron quantum mechanics and for his development of multiscale approaches. In the latter, he combines electronic-structure theory with thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and also employs numerical methods from engineering. As summarized by his appeal "Get Real!" he introduced environmental factors (e. g. partial pressures, deposition rates, and temperature) into ab initio calculations. In recent years, he has increasingly focused on data-centric scientific concepts and methods (the 4th paradigm of materials science) and on the goal that materials-science data must become "Findable and Artificial Intelligence Ready".
Academic career
Matthias Scheffler studied physics at the Technische Universität (TU) Berlin. He carried out his doctoral work in the field of theoretical solid-state physics at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (FHI) and received his Ph.D. from the TU Berlin in 1978. He then moved to the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig, where he was employed as a research associate from 1978 to 1987. From 1979 to 1980, he was also a visiting scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, USA. He received his habilitation in 1984 from the TU Berlin.
In 1988, he was appointed as a scientific member of the Max Planck Society and founding director of the Theory Department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin. The following year he received an honorary professorship at the TU Berlin. This was followed by further honorary professorships at Freie Universität Berlin (2006), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2016), and in Hokkaido, Japan (2016). He is also Distinguished Visiting Professor of Computational Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara since 2005. Since 2015, he heads the European Center of Excellence NOMAD (Novel Materials Discovery), since 2020 the NOMAD Laboratory at the FHI, and since 2021, he is Deputy Spokesperson of the FAIRmat project at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin .
Research focus
Since the beginning of his career, Matthias Scheffler has been working on fundamental aspects of the chemical and physical properties of surfaces, interfaces, clusters, and nanostructures. Current research activities include studies of heterogeneous catalysis, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, thermoelectric materials, defects in semiconductors, inorganic/organic hybrid materials, and biophysics. These are studies that combine quantum mechanics, ab initio calculations of the electron structure and molecular dynamics with methods from thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and engineering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outstation%20%28aviation%29 | In commercial aviation, an outstation refers to an airport that is served by an air carrier but is not a hub, a focus city, nor a crew or maintenance base in that operator's network. Outstations often, but not necessarily, take the form of regional airports located in exurban or rural communities which handle lower passenger volumes and less-frequent service than hubs. For these reasons, outstations may lack passenger amenities and services which comprise an airline's typical customer experience standards. When an outstation is served by a hub-and-spoke style airline, it is common for its flights to depart early in the morning and arrive late at night due to scheduling patterns directing aircraft to remain-over-night (RON) for maximum fleet utilization.
Background
In the early decades of air transportation, passengers and mail were typically transported via point-to-point routes (also known as milk runs). Point-to-point networks typically operated like railroads; they originated and terminated in major bases but made stops at intermediate points along their way. These intermediate cities sometimes featured additional spur routes (operated by the main airline, its partners, or subsidiaries) connecting them with smaller regional outstations, in the same way, that railroads may structure branch lines. Point-to-point service often existed out of necessity; early airliners like the Ford Trimotor and Junkers Ju 52 only featured maximum ranges of around , and early aviation technology was insufficient to provide long-distance navigation and communication capabilities.
In most modern airline networks, outstations function as the 'spokes' of a hub-and-spoke structure. Passengers departing from these remote locations—all having a wide array of final destinations—can be consolidated on inbound flights to an airline's hub. Upon reaching the hub, they are self-sorted onto connecting flights to their final destinations. While the hub-and-spoke model tends to increase overall travel time due to indirect routing and layovers, it provides passengers with great flexibility and a greater choice in destinations.
Considerations
Infrastructure
Despite the less-robust presence maintained by air carriers at outstations than at hubs, an outstation still requires a baseline of investment and infrastructure on the carrier's behalf. In other words: air carriers must typically provide for several essential functions in order to reliably serve an airport. These functions include:
Line maintenance
Aircraft which become damaged or inoperable at an outstation must be made airworthy before returning to service. At outstations where an airline does not employ its own aircraft maintenance technicians, maintenance is performed by contracted personnel. These technicians are trained on the airline's logging procedures and qualified to perform line maintenance functions including troubleshooting, basic servicing of aircraft systems, and deferral of equipment in accordance w |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admag | Admags or ad mags (short for Advertising magazines) were an early alternative to the commercial break in the 1950s and 1960s, broadcast on the then-new commercial network ITV in the United Kingdom. Beginning as a result of the Television Act 1954, and designed mainly to provide advertising space for smaller companies who couldn't afford slots during regular ad breaks, admags became popular in their own right. Each had a loose story format, much like a soap opera, with each episode featuring a collection of commercially available products.
Programming
Jim's Inn
The most popular admag was Jim's Inn, a soap opera starring Jimmy and Maggie Hanley. By 1957, Jim's Inn had become so popular that Associated-Rediffusion claimed that it was now rivalling the popularity of long-established programmes on the BBC, such as The Archers. It ran for 300 editions, and after the ban on admags in 1963, the couple appeared running ‘Jim’s Stores’ in a series of adverts for Daz washing powder.
Elizabeth Goes Shopping
The first of the admags, Elizabeth Goes Shopping was hosted by Elizabeth Allan, who would visit upmarket London stores.
Other admags
Other admags included About Homes and Gardens (1956), Bazaar (1957-1959), Fancy That! (1956), For Pete’s Sake (1957-1958), Girl With a Date and Home With Joy Shelton (1955-1956).
Ban
Admags were withdrawn from British television after a 1962 report by Sir Harry Pilkington into the practices of the nascent ITV network which condemned the admag format. Parliament prohibited admags in 1963. Product placement would not be allowed again on British television until 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic%20Telecommunications%20Network%20of%20America | Catholic Telecommunications Network of America was an American Catholic television network that existed from 1982 to 1994. It was sponsored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, which spent $30 million on the network. The network's failure has been explained by its being “unable to adapt quickly to its environment.” It has been called "a mistake the church doesn't want to repeat". Its competitor, EWTN, which also started up in the early 1980s, went on to become reportedly "the world’s largest religious media network".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciao%20Alberto | Ciao Alberto is a 2021 American computer-animated short film written and directed by McKenna Jean Harris, produced by Pixar Animation Studios, and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Set after the events of the 2021 Pixar film Luca, the short was released on November 12, 2021, on Disney+. Like the movie, it received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, humor, and emotional weight, with positive messages being well-received.
Plot
After receiving a letter from Luca, who is away at school in Genoa with Giulia, Alberto writes back about his life in Portorosso and working at the town fishery with Giulia's father Massimo Marcovaldo. Alberto has been fully accepted by the townspeople and no longer hides his identity as a sea monster. However, despite Alberto's enthusiasm for his job, his relationship with Massimo is terse, as the elder fisherman barely speaks to him except to warn him against using their fishing boat without supervision. It becomes apparent that Alberto is desperate for Massimo's approval, and he worries constantly about being "fired" for his mistakes.
Alberto tries to make his fish deliveries more expedient but keeps tossing the wrong fish to the wrong people. He attempts to cook lunch for Massimo but makes a mess of the kitchen. While Massimo converses with a customer, Alberto tries to lift a whole barrel of fish, only to buckle under the weight. Massimo lunges to save him but falls into the water with the barrel, losing their day's catch. That night, Alberto sneaks out of the house and takes the fishing boat to catch more fish, hoping to make up for the loss. He is startled by Machiavelli the cat, who stowed away on the boat, causing him to drop his lantern and accidentally set the boat on fire. They manage to escape just as Massimo races down to see the damage. Alberto sheepishly tries to explain himself, but Massimo only narrows his eyes and silently stares at the boat.
Heartbroken by his inability to impress Massimo, Alberto packs his belongings and leaves. Massimo rushes after him, imploring him to reconsider. Alberto lambastes himself for his failures and questions why Massimo even bothered to come after him. As Massimo reaches out for him, Alberto blurts, "Just let me go, Dad!", shocking them both. Massimo reveals that he once made his own father angry enough to punch through a brick wall, but afterwards they made up by fixing it together. He and Alberto then share a hug, embracing their roles as surrogate father and son.
The next day, Massimo and Alberto work side-by-side to fix the fishing boat, sharing stories and finally communicating with each other more openly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaquin%20Domagoso | Joaquin Andre Ditan Domagoso (born October 24, 2001) is a Filipino actor, host, and model who is currently an artist under GMA Network. He is the son of actor-turned-politician and former mayor of Manila, Isko Moreno.
Life and career
Domagoso is one of Isko Moreno and his wife Diana Lynn Ditan's five children. He is named after his paternal grandfather.
In 2019, Domagoso signed a contract with GMA Artist Center (now Sparkle) and became a semi-regular cast of the defunct variety show Studio 7. He later became a mainstay in All-Out Sundays since 2020.
In 2021, Domagoso was paired with Cassy Legaspi in the romantic comedy series First Yaya and its continuation, First Lady.
Then twenty-year-old Domagoso and social media personality girlfriend Raffa Castro, daughter of actor-turned-broadcast journalist Diego Castro and sister of actress Claire Castro, welcomed their son Scott Angelo on April 28, 2022, named after the childhood nickname of Domagoso's father Isko Moreno and Castro's late grandfather Angelo Castro Jr. The news was initially reported by Cristy Fermin and later confirmed by Philippine Entertainment Portal in late June 2022, two months after Castro gave birth. Domagoso was reportedly hands-on during Castro's pregnancy and kept the pregnancy private from the public eye during his father's campaign for the 2022 presidential elections, though Domagoso has never denied earlier rumors and had initially expressed intention to publicly reveal the identity of the child. Domagoso and Castro's relationship and parenthood are supported by their respective parents.
On November 23, 2022, Domagoso won the Best Actor award for his performance in That Boy In The Dark, directed by Adolf Alix Jr., at the 16th Toronto Film and Script Awards in Toronto, Canada. On December 23, 2022, Domagoso received another award as Best Actor at the 2022 Five Continents International Film Festival (FCIFF), an online festival in Venezuela. On December 26, he also won the Best Actor award at the Boden International Film Festival (BIFF) 2022 of Sweden. On February 2, 2023, he was awarded the Best Youth Actor Award at the 2023 New York Independent Cinema Awards. Domagoso has been recognized as the "Iconic Young Actor Ace of the Year" and "Promising Young Actor of the Year" by the Global Iconic Aces Awards 2022, and the 2022 Philippine Faces of Success, respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tug%20of%20Words | Tug of Words is an American television game show that premiered on Game Show Network on November 8, 2021.
Gameplay
Season 1
The game is played over three rounds. The first two rounds are played to earn an advantage in the third round, and the team that wins the third round wins $1,000 and the chance to play the bonus round to increase their winnings to $10,000.
Round 1
Four three-letter words are shown to the teams, each word is the starting point for a word chain. One team chooses a starting word, and the host reads a clue to another word (which may be a proper noun or abbreviation); the player must change one letter in the starting word to make the correct word (e.g., CAT to CUT). The next clue is read to the other player, who must in turn change a letter to make a new word. Each correct answer moves an on-screen pennant marker one space towards that team's side of the set, while there is no penalty for an incorrect answer or no answer.
During a team's turn, the players must alternate turns without conferring, and must also wait for the host to read the entire clue before answering. If either rule is violated, the answer is treated as incorrect (even if it is otherwise correct) and the next clue is read.
Once the first team has completed its turn, the other team chooses one of the three remaining starting words and plays its own set of clues. Each team has 40 seconds to solve as many words as possible, and the team that has the marker on its side after both teams have played once wins a pennant-style flag. (If the marker is at the neutral position after both teams have played, then neither team wins the flag). The teams then play another pair of turns with the remaining two words, and the winner of that pair of turns also wins a flag.
Round 2
The second round is played in the same manner as the first round, with teams now attempting to solve four-letter words.
Round 3
An advantage is assigned to one of the teams based on the number of flags won in the previous rounds at one space per flag (for example, if one team has won three flags while their opponents have won one, then the team with three flags is given a two-space advantage). In this round, two five-letter words are shown to the teams, and the teams play one pair of turns. Unlike in previous rounds, the teams are to change two letters at a time, and the two letters to be changed are highlighted (e.g., VOWEL to TOWER), in addition, the time limit is increased to 45 seconds. After both teams have played, the team with the marker on its side wins $1,000 and plays the bonus round to increase their winnings to $10,000.
If, after both teams have played, the marker is in the neutral position, then a tiebreaker word is played between the players nearest to the host. The players involved in the tiebreaker are shown a new five-letter word, and the two letters to be changed are highlighted. One additional clue is read on the buzzers; the players must wait for the entire clue to be read b |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace%20Meigs%20Crowder | Grace Lynde Meigs Crowder (August 30, 1881 – January 20, 1925) was an American physician who studied infant and maternal mortality. She did early comparisons with the data from other countries and she discovered that childbirth was one of the major causes of death in younger American women.
Life
Meigs was born in Rock Island, Illinois, on August 30, 1881. Her parents were Montgomery Meigs, a civil engineer, and his wife Grace Lynde. Meigs had five sisters, one of whom, Cornelia Meigs, became a noted author.
Meigs was educated at Keokuk High School, before attending Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, where she participated in collegiate athletics. She graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1903 with honors. From 1904 to 1905, Meigs attended Keokuk Medical College, followed from 1905 to 1908 by study at Rush Medical College, which at that time was affiliated with the University of Chicago. Meigs graduated from Rush first in her class. During her final two years at Rush, she spent considerable time at the Presbyterian Hospital. Meigs gained top marks in the competitive examination for interns at Cook County Hospital, Illinois. Her grade average was 87.91, ahead of the second placed student who had an average grade of 81.77. Meigs had been the only woman to sit the examination, and, after Anna Blount, was the second woman to attain top marks.
Now a medical doctor, Meigs travelled to Europe for post-graduate studies in Germany and Austria. After two years of study abroad, Meigs became attending physician at the Cook County Hospital.
In 1915, Meigs was recruited by Julia Lathrop, chief of the Children's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor, to become the first director of the Child Hygiene Division. There Meigs oversaw research on infant and maternal mortality. In 1917, she authored a study of childbirth-related maternal mortality, collating data from the United States as well as other countries. Her research found that women's deaths from pregnancy and childbirth-related issues had not decreased in the years between 1890 and 1913, a finding counter to the prevailing opinion of physicians at the time. This was the first study which compared infant mortality in the United States to that in other countries. The study found that, after tuberculosis, childbirth was the second-most common cause of death of women aged 15 to 45 years.
Meigs was a proponent of mothers remaining at home with their children; she wrote:
Meigs' 1917 report on maternal mortality was influential in the US, and led to the development of services for pregnant women and nursing mothers, the increased establishment of obstetric facilities, and the passing of the Sheppard–Towner Act. During her career, Meigs served on the Commission on Infant Welfare, and was a member of the General Medical Board and the Council of National Defense.
Meigs continued as Director of the Division of Hygiene until July 15, 1918, a few months prior to her marriage on September 9, 1918, to Thomas Reid Crowder, a fe |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubble%20%26%20Crew | Rubble & Crew is a Canadian computer-animated children's television series and a spin-off of Spin Master's PAW Patrol brand. It is produced by Spin Master Entertainment, with animation provided by Jam Filled Toronto. Corus Entertainment also receives a production credit on the series.
Unlike the original series, which airs on TVOntario in Canada, Rubble & Crew airs on Treehouse TV and StackTV. Both services are owned by the spin-off's co-producer, Corus Entertainment. The series' first episode was released on the official Rubble & Crew YouTube channel on January 9, 2023 followed by its premiere on Nickelodeon in the United States on February 3 of that year.
Plot
While attending his family reunion in Adventure Bay, Rubble is called to the neighboring town of Builder Cove by Mayor Goodway's sister Mayor Greatway to help in its construction projects. After building a bridge to Builder Cove, Rubble suggests that his family move to Builder Cove where they establish a construction company called Rubble & Crew that operates out of the Bark Yard. Rubble & Crew helps to expand Builder Cove by repairing buildings and making new ones for various different proprietors while contending with a rival construction worker named Speed Meister.
Characters
Rubble and Crew
Rubble (voiced by Luxton Handspiker) is a 5-year-old English Bulldog and a member of the PAW Patrol who becomes the founder and the leader of Rubble & Crew. He drives around in a bulldozer with an excavator arm. Handspiker previously voiced Rex from the Dino Rescue sub-series in Season 7 and replaces Lucien Duncan-Reid from the original series.
Mix (voiced by Shazdeh Kapadia) is an English Bulldog and one of Rubble's cousins, yet might lead to confusion about them being siblings, as they are the same breed of bulldog. She handles mixing things that are associated with construction like concrete, paint, cement, and glue. She drives around in a cement truck that can be customized with paint, cement, concrete, bubbly soap, water, and asphalt.
Charger (voiced by Alessandro Pugiotto) is a French Bulldog and one of Rubble's cousins. He handles the digging for construction projects. He sports a prosthetic left back leg and drives around in a crane with a golden winch and stabilizer for heavy loads. Charger tends to get the "Zoom Zoom Zoomies" when filled with excitement causing everyone to give him room for it as he runs very fast. Charger is the first of the characters exclusive to the spinoff to appear in the main series appearing in the ninth-season episode "Charger Visits the Pups".
Wheeler (voiced by Liam McKenna) is a Pointer and one of Rubble's cousins. He is a clean freak and handles everything involving nuts and bolts. He drives around in a dump truck that he uses to carry dug-up dirt and different construction supplies with retractable street sweeper parts for cleaning jobs. Wheeler is the only member who is not a bulldog.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interning%20%28computer%20science%29 | In computer science, interning is re-using objects of equal value on-demand instead of creating new objects. This creational pattern is frequently used for numbers and strings in different programming languages. In many object-oriented languages such as Python, even primitive types such as integer numbers are objects. To avoid the overhead of constructing a large number of integer objects, these objects get reused through interning.
For interning to work the interned objects must be immutable, since state is shared between multiple variables. String interning is a common application of interning, where many strings with identical values are needed in the same program.
History
Lisp introduced the notion of interned strings for its symbols. The LISP 1.5 Programmers Manual describes a function called intern which either evaluates to an existing symbol of the supplied name, or if none exists, creates a new symbol of that name. This idea of interned symbols persists in more recent dialects of Lisp, such as Clojure in special forms such a (def symbol) which perform symbol creation and interning.
In the object-oriented programming paradigm interning is an important mechanism in the flyweight pattern, where an interning method is called to store the intrinsic state of an object such that this can be shared among different objects which share different extrinsic state, avoiding needless duplication.
Interning continues to be an important technique for managing memory use in programming language implementations; for example, the Java Language Specification requires that identical string literals (that is, literals that contain the same sequence of code points) must refer to the same instance of class String, because string literals are "interned" so as to share unique instances. In the Python programming language small integers are interned, though the details of exactly which are dependent on language version.
Motivation
Interning saves memory and can thus improve performance and memory footprint of a program. The downside is time required to search for existing values of objects which are to be interned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibi%20and%20Tina | Bibi and Tina are the main characters of the German children's radio drama series of the same name, produced by the network Kiddinx. The Bibi and Tina Riding Farm episodes are a spin-off to the Bibi Blocksberg radio series. Tina and the Martinshof first appear in episodes 43 and 44 (The Riding Farm) of Bibi Blocksberg. In episode 47 (The Horse Show) they appear once more. The radio series Bibi and Tina began subsequently in 1991. The series consists of 103 episodes, including 2 specials (As of: October 2021).
Bibi and Tina was also made into an animated series, which now includes many episodes. The more recent episodes of the series also include stories without a radio equivalent. Many of the radio episodes were additionally published as a novel.
In March 2010, the first audiobook of the series, Schatten über dem Martinshof , was published, followed in September by the second audiobook, The Hungarian Horsemen, in September 2011, Der wilde Hengst was released as the third installment in the series. In May 2019, the voice actors of the main characters performed a live radio play in front of an audience for the first time. The performed radio play "Zoff" is not included in the regular audiobook series and was written specifically for the live performance in Berlin. A sound recording of the performance was published on the official Bibi and Tina YouTube channel and on streaming services.
Voice Actors and Casting
The casting of the voice actors has roughly stayed the same since the beginning of the show in 1991. The only exceptions are the castings of the narrator and Holger Martin.
In 1998, Joachim Nottke, who voiced the narrator fell ill and was unable to work. He was replaced by Ulli Herzog, the director, in the 32nd episode (Das Schmusepony) and eventually died in the same year. The episode was later revoiced by Gunter Schoß. After being recast two times, Schoß became a regular member of the cast and voiced the narrator from episode 35 onwards.
The role of Holger Martin was recast three times. It is noteworthy that Holger Martin didn't actually appear in the episodes 25 to 49 and was only listed in the credits. Eberhard Prüter died unexpectedly in 2014 and was replaced by Sven Riemann as Graf Falko von Falkenstein.
Since the beginning of the show Susanne Martin has never been voiced by Evelyn Meyka, since Arianne Borbach was a better fit for the role of a young woman.
Characters
Bibi Blocksberg is a 13-year old blonde girl who has special skills: She is a witch. Bibi lives in Neustadt, on the outskirts of Gersthof and loves to spend her holidays on the Martinshof.
She is a natural when it comes to horseback riding. During her first-ever riding lesson, Bibi already proves so much talent that she is allowed to ride her favourite horse, a challenging white mare named Sabrina. In later episodes, Sabrina becomes mother to a foal named Felix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating%20markets%20of%20Vietnam | Floating markets of Vietnam, or chợ nổi in Vietnamese, are areas of commerce based within the country's many river systems. Vietnam's extensive network of floating markets is economically and culturally significant to the country.
History
With two deltas from both the northern Red River and the southern Mekong River, floating markets were an important aspect of greater aquaculture-based society consisting of floating communities that inhabited the riversides of Vietnam. Archaeologists have found evidence that extensive trading networks likely existed in Vietnam's river deltas from as far back as 4,500 years ago. As far back as the 7th century, the southern riverways of the Mekong Delta were seen as prime migratory opportunities for those farther north. Many of the communities consisted of cultural groups now associated with modern-day ethnic groups, such as Kinh, Chams, and Khmer. The intersections of major riverways become major points of commerce and led to the proliferation of on-ground and floating markets. Although economic growth and emerging technology over the 19th century provided alternative commercial avenues, floating markets remained a central meeting place into the 21st century as road infrastructure gradually developed in the Delta regions. There have been increased efforts to preserve the traditional appearances of some floating markets as a form of both eco-tourism and cultural tourism.
Vessels
Due to Vietnam's frequent interaction with cultures and technologies from afar, a variety of vessels could be seen in Vietnam's floating markets. In current times, both modern boats, as well as traditional boats, are found, with wooden plank-keel boats being one of the more commonly used.
Notable Markets
Cái Bè floating market operates within the Tien River and between three provinces Tien Giang Province, Vinh Long Province , and Ben Tre Province. Ngã Bảy floating market (also known as Phụng Hiệp) is based in Hậu Giang Province and sits at the intersection of seven water ways,
Cái Răng floating market sits near the city center of Can Tho, it is a favorite among tour groups due to the colorful paint of the boats as well as its reputation as a 'must-visit food hub'.
Long Xuyên floating market is near Long Xuyen's city center and is known for its peek into the Mekong's rustic way of life, with floating houses dotting the riverside and products catered towards residents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox%20Sports%20%28Latin%20American%20TV%20network%29 | Fox Sports is a group of channels available in Latin American and operated by The Walt Disney Company Latin America, a unit of the Disney International Operations. The network is focused on sports-related programming including live and pre-recorded event broadcasts, sports talk shows and original programming, available throughout Latin America.
History
The network was launched in 1996 as Prime Deportiva, under the ownership of Liberty Media. Prior to its launch, on October 31, 1995, News Corporation acquired a 50% ownership interest in Liberty's Prime Network group and its international networks (including sister channels Premier Sports and Prime Sports Asia) as part of an expansion of its Fox Sports properties in the Americas. In 1996, the channel was rebranded as Fox Sports Américas, later shortened to Fox Sports in 1999. In 2002, Hicks, Muse, Tate and Furst, a Dallas private equity firm, Liberty Media Corp and News Corp created a holding company (Fox Pan American Sports) to jointly operate FOX Sports Latin America. News Corp owned approximately 38% interest. Liberty later exited leaving HMTF and News Corp as co-owners of the cable network. News Corp purchased the ownership rights from HMTF of FOX Sports en Espanol and rebranded as FOX Deportes in 2010. News Corp purchased the remaining ownership rights for the holding company from HMTF and fully owned the FOX Sports Latin America cable network in 2011.
In 2009, a second feed called Fox Sports+ (FOX Sports mas) was launched, to allow simultaneous broadcasting of football. In 2010, FOX Sports signed a deal with UFC to be the first cable network to show it in Latin America. FOX Sports also opened a studio in 2010 in Mexico City where it broadcasts original programming and licensed programming. In 2012, the channel was renamed to Fox Sports 2, whereas Speed Channel was rebranded to Fox Sports 3.
In March 2019, the network became a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company after it acquired 21st Century Fox.
In December 2019, it was announced that its Chilean, Peruvian, Uruguayan and Colombian channels would go off the air.
In November 2021, Disney announced that Fox Sports' main channel would be renamed ESPN 4 on December 1, 2021, while Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 would continue on the air with the premium channel (Fox Sports 1) in Chile continuing on the air as well.
On May 17, 2023, It was announced that Fox Sports' secondary channel would close in Central America and Dominican Republic on June 14, 2023, with the South feed continue to being kept on air.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEC%20Versa | The Versa was a line of laptop computers sold by the Japanese electronics conglomerate NEC Corporation from 1993 to 2009. It comprised many form factors of laptops, from conventional clamshell notebooks to pen-enabled convertibles featuring detachable displays, before the line was effectively discontinued in 2009 after NEC pulled out of the global market for personal computers.
History
The Versa was unveiled in February 1993 as UltraLite Versa and released in volume shipments in April 1993. This first model borrowed the namesake of NEC's influential earlier UltraLite family of "notebook"-sized laptop computers. The UltraLite Versa featured Intel's i486SL microprocessor clocked at 20 MHz, taking advantage of the latter's internal local bus for faster graphics processing (including displaying full-motion video) than typical notebooks of the time, such as the Compaq LTE and the Zenith MastersPort. The UltraLite Versa was pen-enabled, in that its display housing could be detached from the base of the clamshell casing and exchanged with ones featuring differing display technologies, including one with a stylus-driven touchscreen color display. The laptop's screen could also be attached to the base turned 180 degrees away from the viewer and folded over the keyboard, allowing the user to use the machine like a tablet. A docking station with two ISA expansion slots was sold as an option. NCR Corporation of the United States signed a deal with NEC to rebadge the Versa as the NCR Safari starting in September 1993.
NEC dropped the UltraLite branding for their Versa laptops starting with the Versa E (Enhanced) series in December 1993. Instead of the i486SL, models in this series of Versa feature Intel DX2 processors clocked at either 40 or 50 MHz; however, like its predecessor, the modularity of the display technology is retained. NEC followed up the Versa E series with the Versa M and the Versa V, all featuring incrementally improved i486 processors and other hardware, including a 16-mm clip-on trackball for a pointing device. In June 1994, they unveiled the Versa S series, a low-cost subnotebook version of the Versa lacking the modularity of its more expensive siblings (options like display technology had to be ordered ahead of time instead). In November 1994, the company unveiled the Versa P, the first in the line to feature Intel's Pentium processor. The Versa P series introduced various multimedia features, including a Sound Blaster–compatible sound chip; integrated speakers and an internal microphone; plugs for line in, stereo headphone, and external microphones.
In May 1995, NEC moved production of the Versa line from Japan to Shanghai, after establishing NEC Shanghai Computers, a joint venture with Changjiang Computer Union. The first two models of Versa produced in Shanghai—the Versa 2000 and the Versa 4000—abandoned the detachable display housings, optional touchscreens, and trackballs of the earlier models. In lieu of the latter two options fo |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epson%20ActionNote | The ActionNote was a series of laptop computers developed by Epson America in 1993. The series was Epson's answer to the small businesses and home office market for laptops and initially ran alongside their corporate-oriented NB series of laptops. The series was segmented into premium and low-cost offerings and included a subnotebook, the ActionNote 4000. The bulk of the laptops' manufacturing was performed by ASE Technologies of Taiwan, with the exception of the short-lived initial entries into the 700 series, which were produced by Jabil Circuit. The ActionNote received mixed, mostly positive, reception in its lifespan before Epson America silently left the personal computer market in 1996.
Development and specifications
Epson, which is sometimes credited for being the first to market a laptop computer with the HX-20 in 1982, introduced the ActionNote series in April 1993. Development for the ActionNote was led by Sanford Weisman, portable computer product manager at Epson America, who was also instrumental in the design of the company's earlier NB series of laptops. In response to criticism that the purported piecemeal replacement of the NB line with the ActionNote would cause the company to fall further behind in laptop innovations, Weisman said that NB would continue to be marketed simultaneously with the ActionNote—the former being sold to large businesses through reseller networks and the latter to small businesses and home office buyers through retailers. All entries in the ActionNote line came preinstalled with MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, starting with Windows 3.1 for the 4SLC-25, Windows 3.11 for the 700 series, and Windows 95 with the 660 and 880 series.
Epson used Cyrix's microprocessors exclusively for the ActionNote. The first laptop in the series, the ActionNote 4SLC-25, was released in April 1993 and featured a 486SLC with a clock speed of 25 MHz, later bumped to 33 MHz and 50 MHz. The ActionNote 4000, released in July 1993, sported a subnotebook form factor and had a 486SLC clocked at 33 MHz. In February 1994, Epson introduced the 500C and 700 series ActionNotes. The former introduced a color display to the series with a passive-matrix LCD and had a 50 MHz 486SLC2, while the latter featured Cyrix's 486DX at 33 MHz. Though technically clocked slower than the 500C, the 700 machines actually were more powerful, owing to the true 32-bit nature of that processor. Epson followed this up with the 766 series, the first laptop to offer Cyrix's 66-MHz 486DX2.
The 650 series, marketed as a low-cost entry to the ActionNote line-up, sold between and —depending on whether the user wanted a color LCD—and featured a clock-switchable 25 or 50 MHz Cyrix DX2. The more expensive 800 series upgraded the ActionNote's styling and was among the first Wintel laptops to feature an integrated touchpad, replacing the trackballs of earlier models. This trackpad was manufactured by Synaptics and was the first to incorporate capacitive sensing technology |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorpe%20Park%20Leeds | Thorpe Park Leeds or simply Thorpe Park is a business park located near Brown Moor, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. Companies that are headquartered in Thorpe Park include Northern Gas Networks, Boost Drinks and Pharmacy2U. The Thorpe Park railway station is anticipated to open in the area in 2024. The overall development of the business park is expected to be complete by 2035.
History
In 2000, Scarborough Group International (SGI) began development on the business park. The chairman of SGI Kevin McCabe said that they wanted to create the "largest and best out of town, mixed-use development that Yorkshire has ever seen".
Phase two development at Thorpe Park Leeds was enabled following an investment deal with Legal & General Capital in 2015.
The Springs retail park was opened in October 2018. In May 2021, a life-size statue of Captain Tom Moore was unveiled at the park before being positioned at Tom Moore's birthplace in Keighley. In August 2021, SGI began development on a £52 million office building which has been pre-let to credit management company, Lowell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine%20Coast%20Heritage%20Trust | The Maine Coast Heritage Trust is a nonprofit land conservation organization. Its conservation partner is the Maine Land Trust Network, which is one of its programs.
Formation
In 1969, Margaret Rockefeller learned from the staff at Acadia National Park that conservation easements could be used to protect the natural scenery of islands in a portion of the Gulf of Maine from Penobscot Bay to Schoodic Point. A precedent for this conservation action existed along the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway in the Appalachian Highlands of Virginia and North Carolina where conservation easements had been acquired in the 1930s-40s by the National Park Service to preserve natural scenery.
With the encouragement of her husband, David Rockefeller, and participation by Thomas Dudley Cabot, Margaret Rockefeller formed the nonprofit Maine Coast Heritage Trust in 1970 to assist island owners who might choose to donate conservation easements to Acadia National Park. The name for the organization was recommended by Robert Orville Anderson; Jane Boardman designed the MCHT logo; Anne Morrow Lindbergh provided wording for the first MCHT brochure. Elmer Beal, Jr., a native of Mount Desert Island, was hired as Executive Director. In the first year of operation, thirty conservation easements were donated by island-owners to Acadia National Park. The MCHT subsequently formed alliances with additional public and private organizations and expanded its activities to include the entire Maine Coast.
In 1982, the Maine Coast Heritage Trust co-founded the nationwide Land Trust Alliance. In 1985, the MCHT acquired the 193-acre Witherle Woods Preserve, the first of many preserves, such as the Stone Barn Farm, acquired to provide coastal access and preserve natural habitat.
Conservation progress
By the 1980s, the Trust was considered to be one of the country's most significant land trusts and by 1996 when Rockefeller died, the Trust had protected more than of land which included 173 islands and of coastline. On locations such as Malaga Island, the Trust also protected the cultural history of the region.
On the 50th anniversary of the Maine Coast Heritage Trust in 2020, it listed 329 whole islands protected by conservation easements and 148 preserves available for public access, a combined total of 156,000+ acres including 99 miles of trail. Among projects pursued in 2021, the MCHT successfully acted to acquire and preserve Little Whaleboat Island (22-acres), Sheep Island (59-acres), Monroe Island (225-acres), and 1,700 acres of wildland on the Schoodic Peninsula.
Other areas of focus include Penobscot Bay, Yarmouth, Machias Bay, Casco Bay.
Leadership
Founding Board members included: Margarent M. "Peggy" Rockefeller, Thomas D. Cabot, and Robert O. Binnewies. Binnewies subsequently resigned from the Board to succeed Elmer Beal, Jr., as MCHT Executive Director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting%20for%20Impact | Waiting for Impact is a 10-episode limited series podcast hosted by Dave Holmes. It premiered on the Exactly Right Podcast network on October 12, 2021. It tells the story of a 1990s band Sudden Impact who disappeared after making an appearance in a Boyz II Men video.
In addition to exploring the history of Sudden Impact, Holmes interviews other people who achieved fame in the 1990s music industry.
Production
In 1991 the band Sudden Impact appeared briefly in the music video for Boyz II Men's song "Motownphilly," which played frequently on MTV. After the video the band disappeared from the public eye. Dave Holmes took an interest in the band and their story, comparing the band's appearance to a teaser trailer for a movie that never came out.
The idea to create a project around the idea came up when Holmes realized his friend Scott M. Gimple shared his fascination with the Sudden Impact story. Holmes told Entertainment Weekly, "He is also somebody who remembers that moment really well, and when we first became friends and started talking about the weird obsessions that we share, a big show on the air was Bands Reunited on VH1. And we were like, we should get [Sudden Impact] back together and have them do the point. That was our little in-joke for a week, and it remained in the back of my mind and as my writing career took off, I was like, 'Is this a book or is it a long-form magazine piece?,' but I never quite fit it into the right template."
All 10 episodes were made available on October 12, 2021 on Stitcher Premium, and released weekly for free.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate%20Membership%20Query%20Filter | Approximate Membership Query Filter (AMQ-Filter) is a group of space-efficient probabilistic data structures that supports approximate membership queries. An approximate membership query answers if an element is in a set or not with a false positive rate of .
Bloom filters are the most known AMQ-Filter, but there are other AMQ-Filters that support additional operations or have different space requirements.
AMQ-Filters have numerous applications, mainly in distributed systems and databases. There, they are often used to avoid network request or I/O operations that result from requesting elements that do not exist.
Approximate membership query problem
The approximate membership query problem is to store information about a set of elements in a space-efficient way. The goal is to answer queries whether an element is in the set or not while allowing false positives with a maximal probability of . All AMQ-Filter support this operation lookup. Dynamic AMQ-Filters allow insertions at any time whereas static AMQ-Filters have to be rebuilt after inserting additional elements. Some AMQ-Filter support additional operations like deleting elements or merging two filters.
Lookup
A lookup can determine if an element is in definitely not in the set or if an element is probably in the set:
: always returns true.
: return false with a probability of .
A false positive is a lookup of an element that is not part of the set, but the lookup returns true anyway. The probability of this happening is the false positive rate . False negatives (the lookup returns false although the element is part of the set) are not allowed for AMQ-Filters.
Insertion
After an element is inserted the lookup for this element must return true. Dynamic AMQ-Filters support inserting elements one at a time without rebuilding the data structure. Other AMQ-Filters have to be rebuilt after each insertion. Those are called static AMQ-Filters.
False positive rate vs. space
There is a tradeoff between storage size and the false positive rate . Increasing the storage space reduces the false positive rate. The theoretical lower bound is bits for each element. Dynamic AMQ-Filters cannot reach this lower bound. They need at least bits for insertions. Different AMQ-Filter have different ranges of false positive rates and space requirements. Choosing the best AMQ-Filter depends on the application.
Data structures
There are different ways to solve the approximate membership query problem. The most known data structure are Bloom filters, but there are other data structures that perform better for some false positive rates and space requirements, support additional operations, or have other insertion and lookup times. Some well known AMQ-Filters are:
Bloom filter
A Bloom filter is a bit array of bits with hash functions. Each hash function maps an element to one of the positions in the array. In the beginning, all bits of the array are set to zero. To insert an element, all hash func |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart%20beach | A smart beach is a beach that incorporates technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence), automatic drowning detection, riptide detection, wireless communications, sensing, and metasensing (the sensing of sensing) often combining aspects of these three purposes: (1) water safety, e.g. accident reduction, (2) public safety, e.g. crime reduction, and (3) operational efficiency, e.g. allocation of lifeguard resources, promotion of tourism (providing remote views of the beach, etc.), research (e.g. collection of research data).
Some systems and technologies touch on all three aspects, e.g. systems that automatically sense beach crowding and simultaneously display the results on a traffic-light-like system to indicate to beachgoers how crowded a beach is.
Many of these systems use smart city technology applied to beach life, combined with smartphone apps.
Water safety:
Water safety is often provided through automated drowning detection technologies such as automatic riptide detection, automatic drowning detection, or other related systems.
Public safety: is achieved through enhanced radio communications, wireless communications, warning lights, live video surveillance, and other sensors.
Operational efficiency:
Allocation of lifeguard resources is improved which makes the beach management run more efficiently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture%20the%20flag%20%28cybersecurity%29 | Capture the Flag (CTF) in computer security is an exercise in which participants attempt to find text strings, called "flags", which are secretly hidden in purposefully-vulnerable programs or websites. They can be used for both competitive or educational purposes. In two main variations of CTFs, participants either steal flags from other participants (attack/defense-style CTFs) or from organizers (jeopardy-style challenges). A combination of those two styles would be called mixed. Competitions can include hiding flags in hardware devices, they can be both online or in-person, and can be advanced or entry-level. The game is inspired by the traditional outdoor sport of the same name.
Overview
Capture the Flag (CTF) is a cybersecurity competition that is used test and develop computer security skills. It was first developed in 1996 at DEF CON, the largest cybersecurity conference in the United States hosted annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference hosts a weekend of cybersecurity competitions, including their flagship CTF.
Two popular CTF formats are jeopardy and attack-defense. Both formats test participant’s knowledge in cybersecurity, but differ in objective. In the Jeopardy format, participating teams must complete as many challenges of varying point values from a various categories such as cryptography, web exploitation, and reverse engineering. In the attack-defense format, competing teams must defend their vulnerable computer systems while attacking their opponent's systems.
Educational applications
CTFs have been shown to be an effective way to improve cybersecurity education through gamification. There are many examples of CTFs designed to teach cybersecurity skills to a wide variety of audiences, including PicoCTF, organized by the Carnegie Mellon CyLab, which is oriented towards high school students, and Arizona State University supported pwn.college. Beyond educational CTF events and resources, CTFs has been shown to be a highly effective way to instill cybersecurity concepts in the classroom. CTFs have been included in undergraduate computer science classes such as Introduction to Security at the University of Southern California. CTFs are also popular in military academies. They are often included as part of the curriculum for cybersecurity courses, with the NSA organized Cyber Exercise culminating in a CTF competition between the US service academies and military colleges.
Competitions
Many CTF organizers register their competition with the CTFtime platform. This allows the tracking of the position of teams over time and across competitions. These competitions can be community, government or corporate. Since CTFtime began in 2011, there have been seven teams who have ranked as #1 in the worldwide position. These include "Plaid Parliament of Pwning", "More Smoked Leet Chicken", "Dragon Sector", "dcua", "Eat, Sleep, Pwn, Repeat", "perfect blue" and "organizers".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi%20Chunara | Rumi Chunara is a computer scientist who is an associate professor of biostatistics at the New York University School of Global Public Health. She develops computational and statistical approaches to acquire, integrate and make use of data improve population-level public health.
Early life and education
Chunara was an undergraduate student at the California Institute of Technology, where she studied electrical engineering. She moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate studies, where she joined the Department of Electrical Engineering. Her master's dissertation investigated the creation of low-noise electronic readouts for high-throughput bimolecular detection. Chunara joined the Harvard–MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology, where she completed her doctoral research supervised by Scott Manalis.
Research and career
Chunara worked at the Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Chunara joined the faculty at New York University in 2015. Her research makes use of data mining as well as the development of machine learning algorithms. She is particularly interested in how the acquisition of data can be used to better support public health decisions, and how ethics should be considered in the design of computational systems.
She has shown that it is possible to make use of social media and online sources to understand public health and emerging disease outbreaks. In parts of the world, it can take weeks for public health information to be aggregated by health ministries. In these contexts, early warning signs of disease outbreak can be essential in directing medical workers and resources to areas of need. She demonstrated that an increase in cholera-related Twitter posts in Haiti correlated with a Cholera outbreak. In India, Chunara offered $0.02 rewards to people who completed a malaria survey, the outcomes of which informed the design and deployment of diagnostic kits.
Chunara co-developed Flu Near You, a website that makes use of person-generated information to create spatially resolved maps of the prevalence of flu. Flu Near You emphasizes that it is possible to obtain useful public health information in the absence of public health officials. In 2018, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supported Chunara to improve vaccination rates in Pakistan through the development of smart immunization targeting. Chunara combined artificial intelligence with cell phone technologies to direct vaccinators to areas of poor coverage. Chunara has also shown that hate speech on social media can be used to predict hate crimes in the real world.
In an effort to understand whether disparities in accessing telemedicine reflected in-person healthcare access, Chunara studied the use of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. She found that COVID diagnoses were considerably more likely for Black telemedicine patients as opposed to white patients. She found that telemedicine use was related to mean income and household s |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent%20automation | Intelligent automation, or alternately intelligent process automation, is a software term that refers to a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA). Companies use intelligent automation to cut costs by using artificial-intelligence-powered robotic software to replace workers who handle repetitive tasks. The term is similar to hyperautomation, a concept identified by research group Gartner as being one of the top technology trends of 2020.
Technology
Intelligent automation applies the assembly line concept of breaking tasks into repetitive steps to digital business processes. Rather than having humans do each step, intelligent automation replaces each step with an intelligent software robot or bot, improving efficiency.
Applications
The technology is used to process unstructured content. Common applications include self-driving cars, self-checkouts at grocery stores, smart home assistants, and appliances. Businesses can apply data and machine learning to build predictive analytics that react to consumer behavior changes, or to implement RPA to improve manufacturing floor operations.
The technology has also been used to automate the workflow behind distributing Covid-19 vaccines. Data provided by hospital systems’ electronic health records can be processed to identify and educate patients, and schedule vaccinations.
Intelligent Automation can provide real-time insights on profitability and efficiency. However in an April 2022 survey by Alchemmy, despite three quarters of businesses acknowledging the importance of Artificial Intelligence to their future development, just a quarter of business leaders (25%) considered Intelligent Automation a “game changer” in understanding current performance. 42% of CTOs see “shortage of talent” as the main obstacle to implementing Intelligent Automation in their business, while 36% of CEOs see ‘upskilling and professional development of existing workforce’ as the most significant adoption barrier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3 | Web3 (also known as Web 3.0) is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics. Some technologists and journalists have contrasted it with Web 2.0, wherein they say data and content are centralized in a small group of companies sometimes referred to as "Big Tech". The term "Web3" was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms. The concepts of Web3 were first represented in 2013.
Critics have expressed concerns over the centralization of wealth to a small group of investors and individuals, or a loss of privacy due to more expansive data collection. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have argued that Web3 only serves as a buzzword or marketing term.
Background
